This is Shi Xiaole's third Chinese New Year's Eve in this world.

He was eighteen years old.

"The landlord, the landlord. ”

In the hall of Jinfeng Tower, under the leadership of the three deputy owners, many high-level officials gathered together and stood up to salute Su Yanru and Shi Xiaole.

Su Yanru was dressed in a bright red silk gauze dress, with a gemstone jade hairpin of the same color on her head, black hair like a waterfall, and her skin as white as snow.

Shi Xiaole next to him is still wearing a green shirt, but it is made by Su Yanru who ordered someone to use the highest grade silky fabric, and a few white edges are specially embroidered on the cuffs and placket, which looks elegant and refined, which is more in line with Shi Xiaole's own temperament.

"Please be seated, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, feel free. ”

Su Yanru sat on the main seat and smiled softly.

Everyone laughed and laughed, how could it be casual.

Don't look at Su Yanru in front of Shi Xiaole, she is full of femininity, but in the eyes of the others in Jinfenglou, she is a thorny rose, whether it is her beauty or majesty, it makes people ashamed of themselves.

Of course, what is even more casual is actually the transcendent teenager next to her.

The so-called dwelling and nourishing the body, transferring and nourishing qi.

No matter how low-key Shi Xiaole is, he can't hide the light of the first day of Qingxue Prefecture. Especially after he defeated Xue Changqing with one sword, many good people have openly called him the number one wizard in Qingxue Prefecture for hundreds of years.

Invisibly, everyone felt that they were far away from Shi Xiaole.

At the third watch, the banquet dispersed.

In the attic of Ru Garden.

"You seem to be absent-minded today?"

Su Yanru walked up to Shi Xiaole's side and raised her head and asked.

"Auntie, after spending fifteen years with you, I'm leaving again. ”

Shi Xiaole looked out the window.

Su Yanru's smile froze.

The young man's jade-carved side face, flickering under the fireworks outside the window, and his resolute expression let her know that the other party was already a man who could make decisions for herself.

Su Yanru smiled: "I guessed a long time ago, from a very early age, I knew that you would not be willing to stay in the Cloud Triangle. The outside world is your stage. Maybe in the future, you will bring back your wife, Lele, will you invite your aunt to drink?"

Shi Xiaole turned his head, saw the wet marks under his aunt's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought about it so far." ”

"If you don't want it now, it doesn't mean you don't want it in the future, you will eventually meet the woman you like. ”

Su Yanru suddenly remembered Zhu Ling.

The first beauty in the Cloud Triangle often ran to Jinfeng Tower some time ago, seemingly for the cooperation between the Righteous Sect and Jinfeng Tower. But how Su Yanru didn't know that the other party's real target was Shi Xiaole.

If it was before, Su Yanru would have obstructed it in every possible way, but the matter of the Heavenly Evil Sect made her practice martial arts hard, and at the same time, she also had feelings of self-pity in her heart.

Her emotions, her presence, will only hinder Shi Xiaole.

"Auntie, my greatest wish in this life is the word leisure. Riding a horse and drinking, singing with a sword, you can go anywhere you want, do whatever you want, what a leisure. ”

Su Yanru smiled and said: "Your dream is very good, but in life, who can really be free?"

Shi Xiaole said: "Yes! As long as you become the strongest, far beyond this worldly strongest, you will be able to get away." ”

Su Yanru was suddenly startled, she suddenly saw the burning fire from Shi Xiaole's eyes, could it be that this is what the other party thought from the bottom of her heart?

When people are still running around day and night for fame, fortune and status, this person is thinking about transcendence in his heart?

It is said that Shi Xiaole is low-key by nature, and Su Yanru suddenly realized at this moment that everyone was wrong, very wrong. He is not low-key, but the pattern is beyond the imagination of all beings, and he disdains to show it to the world.

This is Shi Xiaole's interior!

"Life is a struggle, and I will try my best to get better and stronger. Auntie, if one day I can get rid of the shackles, I hope you and all your friends are still there, traveling the world with me, and seeing all the red dust. ”

Shi Xiaole said in a sonorous tone.

"You, good. ”

Su Yanru's heart trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, and finally laughed from the bottom of her heart. It was the most touching thing she had ever heard in her life. Even if it's just an unrealizable fantasy, it's enough to remember.

In the following days, Shi Xiaole accompanied Su Yanru to receive many door-to-door guests. Today's Jinfeng Tower is worthy of the name of the first sect in the Cloud Triangle, and many forces will symbolically send people over to send gifts and greetings.

By the time the guests were finished, it was the twelfth day of the first month. Shi Xiaole remembered Lianchen, and after some inquiry, he learned that this Taoist priest had been in retreat a few months ago, and according to Shi Xiaole's guess, the other party should be practicing the key to Xuangong.

"After my aunt's injury recovered, her qualifications and skills are better than before, and after Lianchen is out of the customs, I believe it can also be used as a big help. I don't have to worry about the safety here for the time being. ”

After figuring out the major joints, Shi Xiaole's mood relaxed.

Early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, without disturbing anyone, he came to the suburbs, rode on the green wind, and finally glanced at Feiyan City, never looked back, and rode away.

"Alas. ”

Inside the Jinfeng Tower, there are people who have insomnia all night, looking at the suburbs and losing their minds.

......

Wandering the rivers and lakes, there should always be a goal, it is impossible to wander around, Shi Xiaole's first goal is to go to the weird bamboo forest in the White Stone Domain.

The strange bamboo forest, one of the strange places in Qingxue Prefecture, is more peculiar than the silver snow field in the silver waters.

There is a strange gate formation set up in the bamboo forest that no one can solve, and it is said that as long as the master of the Lingguan Realm steps in, he will immediately be hit by the qi flu in it and die.

However, for the martial artists of the Xuan Qi Realm, the strange bamboo forest is a place of chance.

Because there are stone statue mechanisms inside, many swordsmen, swordsmen, or other blade warriors can comprehend combat skills from the mechanism array and improve the realm of the weapon path.

Shi Xiaole planned to go to the weird bamboo forest to see if he could improve the realm of Jian Xin.

Hurry during the day and practice pranayama at night. Half a month later, Shi Xiaole successfully came to the Baishi Domain at the very edge of Qingxue Prefecture.

The weird bamboo forest is not on land, but on a small island. From the island to the shore, there is a distance of 300 zhang, and every three zhang, there are two stones standing side by side in the lake.

This is the meditation stone.

It is said that there is a special aura on the meditation stone, and visitors must sit all the way from the nearest meditation stone on the shore to the meditation stone near the island, and sit on 99 pieces, and each one must not be less than a quarter of an hour, in order to successfully resonate with the stone statue in the strange bamboo forest.

In other words, if you don't sit on the ninety-nine meditation stones, even if you enter the weird bamboo forest, it will be useless.

As soon as such rules come out, the lake is not destined to be peaceful.

First of all, people who don't have the strength don't dare to fight the idea of a weird bamboo forest at all.

And those who have strength are never willing to wait longer. When there are few people, it is fine, but when there are many people, immediately some people forcibly occupy the meditation stone in front of them, and there are many people who are injured or even killed because of disputes.

With Shi Xiaole's current strength, it is easy to deal with the ordinary Xuanqi Triple Master, and it will take a lot of twists and turns to deal with the Ordinary Xuanqi Quadruple, and if it goes up, there will be no hope of winning.

Fortunately, there are four entrances to the weird bamboo forest, the stone statue array on the east and west sides is suitable for masters of the Xuanqi Sixfold and above, and the north and south sides are suitable for the martial artists under the Xuanqi Fivefold, without interfering with each other.

Shi Xiaole chose the south entrance, because the north entrance and the west entrance were only accessible to people from the top sects.

"I heard that this strange bamboo forest was set up by a martial arts sect at that time thousands of years ago, just to hone the disciples in the sect and let them progress quickly. ”

On the lawn on the riverbank, a bearded man with a bold look introduced Shi Xiaole, changed his words, and asked, "The young man came with the seniors of the master's sect?"

Shi Xiaole is too young, he looks less than twenty years old, such a person cannot be a master of the Xuan Qi Realm. So the only explanation is that the other party is just here to see the world.

It is not that a martial artist of the Qi Realm cannot enter the strange bamboo forest, but he just wants to do it with his own strength, which is basically impossible.

In some of the top factions, there may be individual disciples who can defeat the first or even the second master of Xuan Qi in the cultivation of the Qi Acceptance Realm. But there are countless masters of the Xuan Qi Realm here, and if you look at it casually, they are all Xuan Qi fourfold and fivefold. No matter how powerful a genius is, it is not competitive to come here.

What's more, the disciples of the big faction can go to the two entrances in the northwest, so there is no need to join in the fun here.

As for the disciples of some masters of the rivers and lakes, it was not that no one had tried it in the past, but they didn't even touch the second meditation stone, and they were directly kicked into the lake, and it was also a shame that the person's background was hard enough, otherwise it would not be as simple as being humiliated.

"I'm just here to take a look. ”

Shi Xiaole said with a smile.

"Hey, the meditation stone on the shore is vacant, Shaoxia, my old Hu will go first. ”

Hu Hao, the bearded man, had a bright eye, and rushed to the first row of meditation stones on the right side of the river bank, and the original person jumped onto the second row of meditation stones.

It was not only Hu Hao who made the decision, but there were no less than dozens of masters on the lawn who rushed out at the same time, and the people were in mid-air, and the chaotic internal forces had rushed together like explosives packets, shaking the void and roaring.

Those who dare to come here to fight for the fate are either young masters of the Xuanqi Realm, or murderers in the rivers and lakes.

For example, that Hu Hao is the early stage master of the Quadruple Mystery Qi.

The most terrible thing is that there are still many people on the lawn who have not done it, or have scruples, or are waiting for a good opportunity, in short, none of them are good stubble.

After fierce competition, Hu Hao sat on the first meditation stone dangerously.

The rest of the people looked at the sect masters in charge of order, and they could only give up.

These are the rules set by several top sects. Whoever sits on the meditation stone by virtue of his ability, the people on the shore must not make trouble, otherwise you will attack me, I will attack you, and no one will play.

As for the masters who are already sitting on the meditation stone, they can challenge at will to avoid some people deliberately delaying time, in short, the rule here is to speak by strength.

Shi Xiaole was silent, and after waiting for a short time, the person sitting on the stone on the left side of the first row jumped forward.

In an instant, many people on the shore rushed out at the fastest speed in their lives, not forgetting to attack each other halfway, and the scene was chaotic.
