"Stinky boy, strong words, I'm testing you, how can you really deal with me? Really, all the good temper I've raised for so long has been ruined by you, a stinky boy, let me tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone about today's events, do you hear?"

"Got it. Si Kou Liren helplessly bowed his head and confessed, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.

Si Ko Lizhu tidied up her clothes, gave Wan Fu to Wu Ming, and then said, "Let the seniors laugh, the little girl wants to change her clothes first, so she will leave first." ”

After speaking, no matter how the other party behaved, he directly pulled Si Ko Liren away, Wu Ming watched the two of them leave, turned around and walked into his room, the carp still swam away from his side, refusing to leave, which he had some doubts about, whether he would also be one of the top eight.

In the evening, there was a knock on his door, and when he opened it, standing outside the door was Si Ko Lizhu wearing a snow-white mink hat, and she was like an elf in the snow, beautiful and moving.

"Senior, I have some questions about my cultivation, and I would like to ask my seniors. ”

"Miss Si Kou, please come in, the name of the predecessor is not daring, if the young lady has any questions, please ask them, and I will know everything and say everything. Wu Ming stepped aside sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and let her in.

The other party stayed for two hours before getting up to leave, during which the two of them exchanged a lot of things about cultivation, and in the process, on the contrary, Si Ko Lizhu, who came to ask for advice, told Wu Ming a lot of things about the cultivation world, which benefited him a lot.

Sent away Si Ko Lizhu, he continued to start his own practice, every day in the future, the other party will take some time to exchange with him about the experience of practice, the two of them are gradually becoming more and more familiar, she no longer politely called seniors, after knowing that his age is only eighteen years old, she called him Xiaoming, and he no longer called Miss, but called her Lizhu.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived, Si Kou's house is dressed in red and hung colors, lively and extraordinary, early in the morning, Wu Ming was woken up by a knock on the door, after getting up and opening the door, it was Si Kou Liren who was dressed in a bright red dress standing at the door, and the Si Kou Lizhu who followed by him was surprisingly not snow-white today, wearing a red and gold-rimmed robe, looking dignified and generous.

Hurriedly let the two of them in, as soon as they entered the door, Si Kou Liren shook the corner of his clothes, knelt in front of Wu Ming, kowtowed three heads, and then looked up at him and said: "Disciple Si Kou Liren greets the master, and wishes the master a great progress in cultivation and peace in the new year." ”

After Wu Ming was stunned, he shook his head with a helpless smile, and stretched out his hand to help him up, who knew that the other party did not take advantage of the situation when he lifted him gently, what was going on, and looked at Si Kou Lizhu on the side suspiciously, the latter smiled slyly, and then pointed to the storage bag on his waist, he immediately understood that the New Year, this is to give himself New Year's money.

In the past, when he was in the small mountain village and the general's mansion, he often went to ask the elders for New Year's money, but he didn't expect that he also needed to give others New Year's money now, and he didn't make any preparations in advance.

There was a slight disappointment on Si Ko Liren's face, but he still stood up and continued to look at him with a smile and said, "Master, from today onwards, the younger generation of Si Ko family will start the annual New Year Meeting, and people from other families will also come to watch the ceremony, Master, do you want to come with us to have a look?"

Wu Ming was thinking about the New Year's money at the moment, and didn't listen carefully to the other party's words, after Si Ko Liren saw that his master did not respond, he asked again, but he still didn't get a response, or Si Ko Lizhu gently pulled the corner of his clothes, he suddenly came to his senses, and then took out a small jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Si Ko Liren.

"Although I have a lot of good things on my body, but those are what I can't give you, although this thing is not valuable, but it's my father-in-law gave it to me, he always said, the first time you meet the rain, when you look up to the sky to sing, I hope that you can be the same in the future, when you encounter wind and rain, face it calmly, and be indomitable. ”

Si Ko Liren carefully took the jade pendant carved with a young lin in his hand, smiled happily, and then solemnly put it into his arms and hid it, and said to Wu Ming: "Master, don't worry, I will." ”

"Okay, then let's go see your New Year's Day, but I don't want to be too eye-catching, you can arrange a random spot for me. Wu Ming nodded, he was actually very optimistic about this apprentice who was one or two years older than himself, it was the only thing his stepfather left him, and he gave it out in the end.

In the arena of Si Kou's house, it has already been arranged, in the square building, there are nine rings in the center, and a high platform is built around it for the audience to watch the competition, on the high platform in the south, the highest place is the most conspicuous seat, like the throne is high, where only the heads of the three major families and people whose status is higher than them can sit there, and below are dozens of relatively low positions, divided into five rows, which are the positions of the guest secretary and the elder.

The other three seats are the seats of ordinary audiences, which are different, the left hand side of the main stage is the position of the descendants of the three families, these people are the main characters of the big competition for a few days, and the right side is the position of the descendants of the side lineage, generally only the best of them can have the opportunity to compete on stage, and finally the position opposite the main stage, those are the positions where ordinary people in Qiushui City come to watch the competition.

The annual New Year's Pass Contest is not always held in the Si Kou family, but the Si Kou family in Qiushui City, the Zuoqiu family and the Qian family are held in turn, and the disciples of the three families compete together to test martial arts, one is to urge the younger generations to practice, but also to visit the heritage of the three families.

This kind of competition has lasted for many years, this time the competition, the three will definitely not use all their strength, after all, the selection will start soon, if you release your hole cards now, if you are targeted by the other two, your own children may miss the opportunity to enter the Qianyuan Sect.

At noon, the people of the Zuoqiu family came to Si Kou's house first, and with someone taking the lead, soon people began to enter the arena and sat down one after another, Wu Ming didn't want to make a noise, so he followed these ordinary people to the arena and found a place to sit down, waiting for the next competition to begin.
