When Shao Xi returned to the inn, Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er had already fallen asleep, Shao Xi returned to his room and opened the window to look at the quiet lake of Zhiqiu Lake outside the window, thinking that if he could live happily in such a beautiful place in this life, wouldn't it be a happy thing to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world?

Think about it, Ruan Haoyang used to be a person who walked around the rivers and lakes, didn't he come here to calm down and live a dull life? Although Ye Zhiqiu has encountered misfortune, it is also a great luck in misfortune to meet someone who cares about himself and cares for himself in this life.

Leaving the past behind, it is a pleasure to spend the rest of your life in such a picturesque, peaceful and peaceful town, right?

Although Shao Xi was originally in a hurry to go to Lingyu Mountain, since he had made an appointment with Ruan Haoyang today, he might as well spend two days in this beautiful town, which could be regarded as a little rest for the hurried journey in the past few months.

The two agreed to meet by the lake in the early morning of the second day, when Ruan Haoyang would come by boat and pick up Shao Xi to go to Zhiqiu Pavilion together.

Shao Xi was very curious about what kind of woman this Ye Zhiqiu was? Thinking about Ruan Haoyang's appearance, the woman who can match him must also be naturally beautiful, bright and moving, and extremely beautiful.

Thinking that he would get up early tomorrow to go to the appointment, Shao Xi hurriedly washed up, went to bed and practiced for a while, and rested early.

Speaking of this cultivation, since Shao Xi advanced to the "Qi Transformation Realm", he found that he began to cultivate a little bit and couldn't move.

The meridians are okay to say, since the last time he broke through the seventh star position, due to the excessive breakthrough, the meridians have also advanced a little, and the speed of the Xianyu Mind Method itself to improve the meridians is much faster, so Shao Xi did not feel that there were too many obvious obstacles in the cultivation of the meridians.

But this sea of qi has become a troublesome matter.

Although his sea of qi was overflowing because of taking the Nine Dragons Pillar before, since he broke through to the "Transformation Qi Realm", the expansion of the sea of qi has given him a place to accommodate the originally surging vitality.

Although the sea of qi was stabilized, Shao Xi found that no matter how he cultivated, he felt that the vitality he had absorbed from the outside world into the sea of qi was like a drop of water entering the sea of qi, without any waves, and he couldn't feel the growth of the sea of qi at all.

This made Shao Xi a little confused, after the expansion of the qi sea, it is actually a good thing in theory, because the space to accommodate the vitality is larger, so the more vitality can be stored, but the problem is that the vitality absorbed by cultivating in the normal method is the same as before, and there is no obvious increase, and it will take longer to fill the qi sea as before, and the amount of vitality that needs to be absorbed is also larger.

In a nutshell, the difficulty of cultivation can no longer be described by geometric multiples, and I don't know how many times it has increased, which means that the appetite of the sea of qi has been infinitely magnified, and Shao Xi's cultivation can no longer feed the sea of qi no matter what.

Shao Xixin said that this is going crazy! According to this cultivation method, how long will it take to cultivate? Could it be true that as Lao Wu said, cultivate yourself into an old immortal after cultivating for one hundred and eighty years?

At this time, Shao Xi truly realized that after entering the "Qi Transformation Realm", the difficulty of cultivation had already entered the hell-level stage.

In fact, when he was in the "Imperial Qi Realm" stage before, Shao Xi had already felt the increase in the difficulty of cultivation, so when he broke through the five grades, Shao Xi was happy for a long time, and later due to coincidence, the rank increased at the speed of a rocket, which really made Shao Xi experience the pleasure of rapid upgrading.

But after this pleasure disappears, it brings a sense of loss, and now Shao Xi is hit hard, and he feels that it is meaningless for him to continue cultivating, no wonder some people stay at a level and never advance again for a lifetime, it's not that they are lazy, it turns out that they really can't cultivate.

Now Shao Xi's daily cultivation is like checking in and in, saving points point by point, waiting to redeem a huge prize, and there is no hope at all.

But Shao Xi always kept in mind Lao Wu's sentence - the way of martial arts is to persist.

Even if he drops a drop of water into the sea every day, Shao Xi is still waiting for the day of stormy waves, but he doesn't know when that day will come?

Shao Xi didn't bother to think about it anymore, what kind of love is! So he fell on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep.

Maybe it's because there is something in his heart and he can't sleep well, or because the snoring sound of Wuqiu'er next door is really like thunder, Shao Xi slept for a while this night, woke up for a while, and didn't even dream when he slept, but after waking up, he had to toss and turn for a long time before he could fall asleep again.

Shao Xi felt that this was very abnormal, and he felt a little unsteady in his heart, as if something was going to happen, but he couldn't tell what was going to happen, this feeling was very strange, like having a premonition, but he didn't know what this premonition felt.

Just tossed back and forth several times, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but it felt as if he had just slept soundly, when he heard the rooster crowing outside, Shao Xi sat up and rubbed his head, and the feeling of unsteadiness in his heart always lingered.

So I got out of bed and washed, went to the lobby of the inn and ate some breakfast, then returned to the room to change my clothes, and saw that Lao Wu and Wu Qiuer next door were still sleeping like dead pigs.

Shao Xi didn't care about them, turned around and walked out of the inn and ran to the shore of Zhiqiu Lake.

This town is not very large, and the population is not large, but in the early morning, you can still see many people coming and going in the streets and alleys, each busy with their own livelihoods.

This is also a waterway transshipment hub of the Guping River, after all, there is such a big Zhiqiu Lake placed there, and it is the intersection with the Yujiang River, so there are still a lot of passenger ships and cargo ships coming and going, but it is still much worse than the Yujiang River as the mainstream river.

Shao Xi walked along the stone road to the shore of Zhiqiu Lake, the sycamores and weeping willows along the way were green and lush, and the leaves were still hanging with early morning dewdrops.

A gust of wind blew, and Shao Xi could smell the smell of water vapor in the air, which was fresh and refreshing, making people tired at all.

When you come to the shore of Zhiqiu Lake, you can see that the open, turquoise and calm lake surface is like a huge piece of jasper in front of you, and the lake in the distance is shrouded in clouds and mist, adding a touch of mystery to Zhiqiu Lake.

Behind the fog, distant mountains loomed like women hiding behind a veil, and occasionally awning boats crossed the lake, and the women of the ferrymen on board sang their own songs.

The whole Zhiqiu Lake looks quiet and quiet, like a beautiful picture in front of you, which makes people can't help but want to walk into the painting and become the person in the painting.

At this time, it rained lightly, and the rain was as thin as cow's hair, although people's clothes and hair were wet, but it still made people feel refreshed and comfortable, and their hearts were relaxed.

Shao Xi took a deep breath and quietly felt the drizzle, hazy and picturesque rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, from the fog in the distance, I faintly saw that a flat boat was floating in his direction, and it was not until he got close that he saw that the person standing on the bow of the boat was Ruan Haoyang.

When the boat approached, the captain took a springboard to let Shao Xi get on the boat, turned the bow of the boat and headed towards the center of the lake.

Standing on the boat is very different from standing on the shore just now, as if you have really stepped into this ink painting.

Shao Xi and Ruan Haoyang stood on the bow of the boat and didn't say much, just quietly looked at the lake and mountains, the drizzle was like weaving, and when it came on a whim, Ruan Haoyang pulled the jade flute out of his waist again, and played it between the green mountains and green waters, and the wind and drizzle.

Shao Xi saw that he had this Yaxing, so he also chanted aloud with his flute:

If there is no smoke and rain,

Qingyi is slightly flattened.

The king strokes the jade flute and rides the wind,

Poetry and wine accompany the rivers and lakes.

Ruan Haoyang blew a song, took the jade flute back to his waist and said to Shao Xi with a smile: "Shao Gongzi raised love, and actually wrote a poem for Zaixia, but the last sentence of this poem is slightly different from the mood of the here and now. ”

Shao Xi thought to himself, there was a popular saying in modern society at the beginning - women will only affect the speed at which I draw a knife.

Now it seems that this sentence is not wrong at all, with concerns around you, who wants to roll in the bloody rivers and lakes?

"Since Brother Ruan doesn't want to step into the rivers and lakes again, I don't know what Brother Ruan's favorite thing is now?"

Shao Xi's words made Ruan Haoyang laugh, of course he couldn't tell Shao Xi so directly that his favorite was the woman next to him, but there was nothing embarrassing to think about it, liking his own woman was not a shameful thing, it was just not convenient to say.

So Ruan Haoyang lowered his head and pondered for a while, put his hands behind his back, and faced the misty Zhiqiu Lake, with a happy smile on his face, and chanted softly:

The drizzle is quiet and the green lotus,

The boat is also a teenager.

I don't remember the years of wind and rain,

Only love the beautiful face of the present.

Lazy sword cuts the long wind,

Music with jade hands to play brocade strings.

Burning incense is far away from drinking rivers and lakes,

I am willing to exchange Qingfeng for wine money.

Shao Xi laughed when he heard this poem, and even said that it was good, which made Ruan Haoyang a little embarrassed, just because he felt that the meaning expressed in this poem was still a little too explicit.

"It really makes Shao Gongzi laugh, he doesn't want to make progress, he just wants to be comfortable, it's really unmanly, but I'm the only one by Zhiqiu's side now, and I'm tired of the life in the rivers and lakes, I just want to live in peace, and I will die with her hand in hand, and I have nothing else to ask for."

"Huh——! What is Brother Ruan talking about? How many people dream of being able to let go of the past and start over, and live comfortably among the mountains and rivers with their confidants, how can they say that they are not enterprising? Fighting and killing is not a real manhood, what Brother Ruan is doing now is exactly what many people don't have the courage to do, 'willing to exchange Qingfeng for wine money', what kind of courage is this? How can Brother Ruan be arrogant? ”

One of the two has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and the other is in the rivers and lakes, but at the moment they are standing in the same boat and looking at each other and laughing, talking eloquently.

At this time, the two people were both in and outside the rivers and lakes.
