"Whew~"

Wang Xu exhaled a circle of white gas and slowly walked to the edge of the crowd.

At this time, he carried an ordinary rabbit lamp and stood under the gate of the inner city.

The crowds in front of them are surging and noisy, all waiting for the brightest moment of the Spring Lantern Festival.

The dark inner city is dotted with red air lanterns, like a morning star, indicating that spring flowers are blooming, happiness and health.

They are tied by thin threads and swaying in the night sky with the wind, carrying everyone's thoughts and waiting for the opportunity to return to the stars.

Wang Xu knew that this was the custom of the Spring Lantern Festival, and the people of Fucheng made it by themselves or went to receive an air lantern for free, made their wishes, and then handed it over to a special lantern maker.

When the Spring Lantern Festival is in the evening, these people will personally release it into the sky, which is a good sign of a better future.

Wang Xu didn't plan to hand over the rabbit lamp in his hand to the person who put the lamp, it was just a lamp he bought just in case, and in the end, even if he couldn't use it, he could give it to his little maid.

With the arrival of the time, the residents of Jinbian City cast their expectant eyes to the sky, each staring at the little red star.

The first red air lantern finally broke free and flew into the starry sky with everyone's expectations.

Taking this as an opportunity, red stars rose one after another, turning into bright lights to illuminate the sky and the earth, and finally dyeing the entire sky red.

"Woo woo woo ......"

I don't know who started it, and there were bursts of bitter crying under the city gate.

Wang Xu withdrew his gaze from the red sky and sighed.

He knew that the person who cried was missing his family who was far away, and at the same time he was looking forward to peace. This is the custom of the Northland, and it is the ancient rule of the Jin Border City.

Nowadays, there are many strange things in Jinbian City, and there are frequent funerals, so it can be said that no matter whether they are rich or poor, everyone has deep fear in their hearts.

Wang Xu himself is not the same, he has been in an inexplicable sense of crisis since he first came, especially after facing the weirdness, he has reached a peak.

That's why he will keep trying his best to obtain the power of self-preservation.

Wang Xu had already confirmed on the road just now, even with his current existential power, it was not enough to directly cultivate the demon realm of the Mo Tian Sword Technique, and he felt that the existential power required was abnormally large.

Unless he relies on his own cultivation of the mental method, breaking through the peak of the mortal realm to the demon realm, and then cultivating with the Yuan Spirit, it may be feasible.

However, after these days of hard work, there seems to be some kind of problem with the demon realm's mental method.

Wang Xu was completely denied entry and had no effect at all, which made him suspicious.

"Could it be that it really has something to do with blood......

"Mo family, is it really the so-called human and demon bloodline, so that they can cultivate to the demon realm, so as to be able to match the demon ......?"

Especially when he thought that even Mo Tian was longing for the heart of the snow ghost, he became more and more sure that his conjecture was correct.

With his current physical body, he may have to go through the Yuan Spirit before he can cultivate into the Demon Realm.

Suddenly, Wang Xu's mind flashed the white bones of the swordsman Mo Tian's body, especially the brain.

"Butterfly Bone ......"

His face was cloudy, and a chill welled up in his heart.

Wang Xu thought about it and decided to go to Mu Bo tomorrow to learn internal skills from him to see if it was as he guessed, or if it was just that the qualifications of this body were too poor.

"Young Master, are you here too?" A crisp child's voice sounded from not far away.

Wang Xu turned his head to look when he heard the sound.

"Young Master."

"Young Master Xu, Huan'er greets you!"

Xiuxiu and a little girl of the same size trotted over holding lanterns and holding hands, and hurriedly saluted.

"Young Master Xu!"

"Young Master Xu!"

Two familiar strong men came behind him, presumably the family members who practiced boxing and kicking in the school field.

"Xiuxiu, take it."

Wang Xu smiled, handed the rabbit lamp in his hand to Xiuxiu, and then turned his head to ask the strong man who was guarding him.

"Uncle Liu asked you to follow?"

"Back to Young Master Xu's words, Liu Jiaotou was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so let the two of us follow."

One of the strong men smiled innocently and scratched his head with his hand, as if he was a little restrained.

"Actually, even if Liu Tou doesn't say it, I, Zhang Guo and Xiong Hei, will come over, after all, everyone has watched them grow up."

Another strong man was very good at adding the names of the two.

"You take this, everyone worked hard last year, go back and share it with your colleagues, let everyone have a good holiday."

Wang Xu smiled gently, took out the broken silver in his pocket and gave it to the two.

Xiong Hei was at a loss and didn't know whether to take it, so he looked at Zhang Guo next to him for help.

"That's not what Young Master Xu gave you alone, it's for the big guys, what are you afraid of, just take it."

Zhang Guo patted Xiong Hei's arm, and then saluted respectfully.

"Young Master Xu, I thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Xiong Hei was not angry, and smiled innocently.

Wang Xu was just about to take out some more and hand them to Xiaohuan.

"Young Master Xu, I have to go to the eldest young master first, so I'll be rude first."

Xiaohuan seemed to see Wang Xu's thoughts, and hurriedly bowed down, wanting to run back.

"Sister Huan'er, didn't the eldest young master and the lady go home first?"

Xiuxiu grabbed Xiaohuan's sleeve and tilted her head in confusion.

"Ahh

Xiaohuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and Ai Ai didn't know what to say.

Wang Xu smiled and didn't continue to pay for it, and changed the topic empathetically.

"Xiuxiu, I heard that the outer city is on fire?"

"On fire? No, young master, the weather is so cold, it was snowing a few days ago, how could it catch fire. ”

Xiuxiu frowned and said coquettishly.

Xiaohuan and Xiong Hei both looked puzzled, not knowing why this Young Master Xu suddenly asked this.

"Young Master Xu, how do you know? It was indeed on fire, but it was quickly extinguished. ”

Zhang Guo, who was on the side, suddenly said: "I still listened to Xiao Lampsmith's apprentice about this." ”

"It doesn't seem to have caused any major accidents, but a green building next door was set on fire."

"Oh, it looks like no one died."

Wang Xu's heart sank after hearing this, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Isn't it, it's just ......"

Zhang Guo also agreed, and then hesitated a little, "I heard that although the fire was extinguished, I don't know who set the fire, some people say that it was caused by the craftsman's accident." ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Xu heard Zhang Guo's extra meaning.

"Because all the craftsmen in the lantern shop have disappeared, that's why the rumors came out."

Wang Xu's eyes flickered, he closed his eyes and reopened them, and smiled, "It is estimated that they accidentally ordered it themselves, so they are afraid of being investigated, so let's run away, it's good that nothing big happens." ”

"Where do you want to go next?"

He quietly changed the question.

Xiuxiu, who was not interested next to her, hurriedly cheered up, "Young master, Sister Huan'er and I originally wanted to go to the Lantern Festival to have a look." ”

"Xiuxiu!"

Xiaohuan next to him blushed and pulled Xiuxiu's sleeve, "Young Master Xu, you don't have to worry about us, do you have any orders?" ”

Wang Xu looked at Xiaohuan's beautiful face bag with a red face, should it be said that she is worthy of his eldest brother's maid, she is indeed a lady, polite and sensible.

"I'm fine, what will the lantern be?"

Xiuxiu shook the red lantern in her hand, "Young Master, this is it." ”

Zhang Guo next to him interjected: "Young Master Xu, the Lantern Festival is actually a place where marriage is encountered. ”

"Marriage?"

"It's two people who also hold a lamp, if they have a good impression of each other, they can exchange the red lights in their hands, which is called a little marriage."

Wang Xu was speechless, he didn't expect that a festival similar to the New Year would be turned into a blind date conference, and he lost interest for a while, but he had nothing else to do after that.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

"Really, young master!"

Xiuxiu didn't have much hope at first, she knew that her young master was not very interested in those, but she didn't expect to be able to go.
