After returning to the residence provided by Yi Baoxuan, Yang Yuyao happily stayed there for two days. During these two days, he didn't even leave the door of his room. The grandmother who helped take care of them in the previous small courtyard also followed. After coming here, she helped cook and deliver meals to Yang Yuyao every day. However, she and Feng Yan, who was responsible for conveying tasks and collecting drawn talismans, did not even see Yang Yuyao's people for two days. Outside the door are empty dishes and bowls, and drawn talismans.

Although it is normal for monks to go into seclusion and not see anyone for several days or even decades, but you didn’t hear Yang Yuyao say that he wanted to go into seclusion? Some mothers and Feng Yan, who were worried that something might happen to Yang Yuyao, even informed Li Yingying. So early on the third day, Yang Yuyao, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the door of the room inexplicably. Li Yingying was demolished, followed by Ye Qianqian who was at a loss.

"I told Aunt Li that Brother Yuan, you have been in contact with me in the past two days, but they are really too worried." Ye Qianqian explained awkwardly.

"Well, what are you worried about?" Yang Yuyao was not fully awake yet. Fortunately, he did not take off the mirage when he slept here at night. Although he was a little uncomfortable while sleeping, at least he would not be suddenly exposed in this situation.

"Xiao Yuan, just hope you're okay. Mammy and the others said they haven't seen anyone from you these days, so they are a little worried." Li Yingying said, and then Yang Yuyao realized that the problem was that he hadn't left the room for a few days. Something.

"Oh, I just don't like to go out very much." Yang Yuyao responded. Although he didn't go out, he didn't miss the rest of the secret trial. With the help of the magic weapon Little Stone 2.0, he saw all the matches. As he expected, the battle between them became more intense on the third day. , those disciples came up with all kinds of strange tricks after they got together. It was only after he returned to his residence that he realized that what he saw through Xiaoshi seemed to be recorded, because what they saw while staying at the venue was not live, but a live broadcast.

The result of this trial was that the Lingxiao Sect ranked first in the sect standings through the entire team battle, while the second place was actually the Qingfeng Sect, and the host Xuanzhen Sect ranked third. But the three people on the personal standings are all unfamiliar names to Yang Yuyao. Of course, when the final score was announced, someone explained which sect these three monks came from, but at that time Yang Yuyao was concentrating on carving a formation, so he didn't listen to the content at all.

"Can you go out first? I can change my clothes." Yang Yuyao turned his eyes to the door of the room with only one door frame left, and felt a biting cold wind blowing into the room. "Please close the door. ” This sentence was swallowed back. The monk is really wasting his time. Didn't he get inspiration from the square formation in the mirage last night and successfully solve a problem of combining formations? However, he was so engrossed in the research that he forgot to put a talisman on the door to prevent intruders. As a result, Today the door to the room was completely removed.

"Okay, okay, I'll have the door repaired later." Li Yingying took Ye Qianqian out with some embarrassment. Yang Yuyao looked at the snowy yard through the door frame. I have to be grateful again that I am a monk in this world. Even in such a cold weather with thin clothes, I can easily withstand it. If he had the body in his original world, this cold wind could blow him back to the hospital.

"Today is a rest day for the competition. I don't know what arrangements Ziqi and his Lingxiao Sect will have. Master's Xunlian has also been prepared. Do you want to inform him? But I don't know when they will have a meeting today, and use Master Is it too exaggerated to inform him of the jade pendant given to him? This kind of contact method should be used in emergencies... How about waiting for them to finish their work first?" Yang Yuyao thought about it and slowly changed his clothes. .

Yang Yuyao didn't plan to go out today, but Ye Qianqian went out to sell talismans again, which reminded Yang Yuyao that he had planned to buy some blank yellow talismans last time, but he forgot about it after meeting He Qianqing. , and after hearing that he hadn't left the house for several days, Yi Ziqi came over to persuade him that since he was not in seclusion, he should go out for a walk. So after handing today's task talisman to Li Yingying who had not yet left, Yang Yuyao reluctantly followed Yi Ziqi out.

"How is your body recovering, Ziqi? Do you really not need to rest?" Yang Yuyao asked. The trial in the secret realm just ended yesterday. Even though the disciples of Lingxiao Sect participating in the competition had been together, they were still more or less in the end. At least he was injured. If Yang Yuyao encountered this situation, he could lie down for a day, but Yi Ziqi still had the energy to go shopping.

"My body has fully recovered. The injury this time was very minor." Yi Ziqi looked at Yang Yuyao and replied with a smile. The head of Lingxiao Sect, Taoist Chizhu, did not stipulate what their disciples must do on today's rest day, so Yi Ziqi immediately thought of asking Yang Yuyao out for a walk. Although they had only not seen each other for three days, Yi Ziqi found that he was already missing Yang Yuyao, and his mood would become particularly good when he saw Yang Yuyao. He knew that Yang Yuyao didn't like to stay in crowded places, so they chose a route with relatively few people. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I feel that your breath seems to be more mellow, A-Yuan. Has your cultivation become more refined, A-Yuan?"

"Well, his cultivation level has improved a bit." Yang Yuyao replied. His current cultivation level has reached the level that he can survive the thunder tribulation at any time. If he hadn't worked hard to suppress it, he should have survived the tribulation a few days ago. Now Yang Yuyao suspects that the amount of spiritual energy in his body will allow him to enter the next small realm immediately after successfully overcoming the tribulation. So why is his body so unique? Others need to practice hard to improve their cultivation, but his body seems to be eager for him to ascend quickly. "Speaking of which, people are pulling ropes to hang some decorations today. Is it a festival?" Yang Yuyao stopped and looked into the distance. They walked along the moat and saw people hanging on the bare willow trees along the way. Tie a rope and hang strings of colorful paper-cut decorations on the rope.

"Yes, today is the Winter Festival," Yi Ziqi replied, looking at the colorful paper-cut decorations. If you look carefully, the themes of the paper-cuts are basically grains and livestock. Although Xuanzhen City is based on cultivators As a city of the Lord, these mortal festival customs have been preserved.

"Celebrate the Winter Festival?" Yang Yuyao took a few steps forward and carefully looked at some recent paper-cuts. The practice of hanging paper-cuts for decoration seemed very novel to him, because in his impression, paper-cuts were mostly used for stickers. Make decorations on windows and doors. Hanging it like this, it always looks like it will break easily. “Why are these cutouts hung like this?”

"Well, after the Winter Festival, the New Year is approaching," Yi Ziqi replied, "As for the purpose of doing this, I'm not very sure."

"In Wei Wu State, this practice is called showing wealth. Whatever you desire, you cut it into paper-cuts and hang them up. People here believe that the sooner the wind blows away the paper-cuts, the easier it will be to get what you desire." I don't know when it will come. He Qianqing came over and answered a question for Yi Ziqi that he couldn't answer.

"Immortal Qianqing? Good day." Yi Ziqi, who had not expected He Qianqing to appear here and take the initiative to talk to them, was taken aback, and then came to his senses and said hello to him.

"Good day, Immortal Lord, thank you for answering my questions." Yang Yuyao was also slightly stunned, then greeted him. He also didn't know why He Qianqing came here. It didn't seem like there was a suitable venue for a meeting nearby.

"No need to thank you. The heavy snow is coming. Go back early." He Qianqing's eyes fell on Yang Yuyao gently and then quickly retracted, saying. Yang Yuyao raised his head and looked at the sky. It was indeed a lot gloomier, although for a monk Talking about some snow is nothing, but since the yellow talisman I want to buy has been bought. Then it's time to go back.

"Thanks for the reminder." Yang Yuyao smiled and waved goodbye to He Qianqing, and returned with Yi Ziqi under the watch of He Qianqing.

"It's strange. I feel like Immortal Lord Qianqing hates me." On the way back, Yi Ziqi told Yang Yuyao his feelings through voice transmission.

"Is it an illusion? Why does he hate you?" Yang Yuyao asked back. A few days ago, when He Qianqing asked him about the background of his new friend, he told He Qianqing Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian. He Qianqing didn't say anything at that time. , how could he suddenly dislike Yi Ziqi?

"Maybe." Yi Ziqi scratched his head, feeling that he was now confused as a monk. It was obviously the first time for him to formally meet He Qianqing. There was no way he could offend that powerful immortal. Why did he react like this? a feeling of? "Well, I think there may be a possibility that Immortal Qianqing is just in a bad mood." Yi Ziqi suddenly felt that he had thought of a possibility, "After all, in addition to celebrating the coming of spring, the Winter Festival also includes sacrifices and remembering old friends. custom." "He may be missing his disciple Yang Yuyao." Yi Ziqi did not say this out loud.

"I miss my old friend... Well, if Master has passed away, he should also have relatives and friends. After all, the world is very unpeaceful. How old is Master? Thirty or forty? Hundreds?" Yang Yuyao turned around. , He Qianqing could no longer be seen, "Should I accompany him?" Yang Yuyao thought to himself, but it was impossible for him to turn back now.

A sudden loud noise interrupted the two people's thoughts. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a house was reduced to ruins and thick dust was rolled up. In the dust, several figures could be vaguely seen floating in mid-air, seemingly in a confrontation.

"A fight started?" Yi Ziqi frowned.

"Probably, let's take a detour." Yang Yuyao, who didn't want to be involved, suggested.

"Okay." Yi Ziqi decisively agreed to the plan.

When they were about to arrive at their residence, the snow had already fallen. Yang Yuyao raised his head and looked at the sky again. The thick dark clouds indicated that the snow would not only be heavy but would also fall for a long time, so Yang Yuyao sent a message to Ye Qianqian. , asking her to close the stall quickly and come back. Even monks don't like bad weather, and if there is a disaster-level meteorological disaster, it will also bring danger to monks.

"I'd better go back and borrow an umbrella from grandma to pick up Qianqian." Yang Yuyao sped up as he watched the snow falling heavier and heavier.

"I'll go with you. After all, Qianqian and I have set up so many stalls, so I know where she is, and I'm not in a hurry." Yi Ziqi said, and Yang Yuyao nodded and agreed.

With the assistance of the dual navigation of Yi Ziqi and Xunlian beta, when Yang Yuyao and Yi Ziqi arrived at Ye Qianqian's place, Ye Qianqian had just packed up everything. Ye Qianqian was very happy to see them coming to pick her up. However, before she could say another word, Yang Yuyao and Yi Ziqi, one holding an umbrella and the other grabbing her shoulders, left quickly. Ye Qianqian was still a little confused until she arrived at the residence provided by Yi Baoxuan. She brushed off the snow accumulated on her head and opened the door. Her grandma had already heated the room with charcoal fire.

Although things could be easily solved with spiritual power, the three of them chose to dry their clothes and hair around the oven. Grandma didn't say anything, but prepared hot tea for them. They even called them over to warm themselves over the fire. After chatting with grandma, I found out that her surname is Li and she comes from the same village as Li Yingying. However, grandma is weak. Although she was taken out of the village by Li Yingying to practice for so many years, she is still only at the second level of Qi training. As we get older, foundation building becomes more and more hopeless. But even so, grandma is still very grateful to Li Yingying and loyal to her.

According to her, before Li Yingying, the people in their village had no hope of becoming a fairy. She didn't know how a little girl like Li Yingying had such courage. Not only did she escape, she also became successful in cultivation and returned with her sect members. The village rescued the entire village. And take those who have some qualifications out to practice. Originally, people like them with poor qualifications would not live well even if they successfully introduced Qi into their bodies, but after Li Yingying left the sect and founded Yi Baoxuan, she still protected them and gave them a place to work.

Although the words "escape" and "rescue" were needed to explain what happened to their village, the image of Li Yingying in Yang Yuyao's heart has always been a beautiful woman who particularly likes to do things by herself. The boss has become the kind of female director in the village shown in TV interviews. She also knows how to get rich first and then get rich later, a great woman who makes the whole village become well-off.

Although chatting by the fire like this is very comfortable and interesting, Yi Ziqi, a disciple of a sect, cannot stay with his fellow sects all the time, so after having lunch here, Yi Ziqi reluctantly left. Separated from them.

In the afternoon, Ye Qianqian and her grandma came to the incense burner to put incense and candles, as if to commemorate her relatives and friends. This Winter Festival does not seem to be a unique festival to the Wei Wu Kingdom. At least the Bianliang Kingdom where Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian are located also has this festival, but the customs are different from the Wei Wu Kingdom. I just don't know if the Xia Kingdom also has such a festival, Yang Yuyao thought to himself. He has almost finished reading the book "The Book of Rogue Cultivators" and also knows about the Qingfeng Sect and even the country where his body was born is called the Xia Kingdom. It is one of the most powerful countries in the world.

"Well, but at this time, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, it seems to be about the same time as any traditional solar term." Yang Yuyao remembered the four-season solar terms song that his grandfather taught him before. However, due to the deviation of the orbit and the change of climate, their original The world is no longer so accurate with the traditional solar terms. It wasn't until he saw something similar to dumplings appearing on the table at dinner that Yang Yuyao realized that this winter festival was actually the winter solstice!

In Yang Yuyao's original world, the institute would give everyone a bag of frozen dumplings as a holiday gift on the winter solstice. However, since his grandfather cooked glutinous rice balls on this day since childhood, Yang Yuyao would be here whenever he was free. Tian Yong ordered a rice dumpling made with rice wine, and took the dumplings cooked by his assistant to the nursing home to eat with his grandpa. So Yang Yuyao tactfully mentioned to his mother that he wanted some glutinous rice balls. Although she was a little confused, she still agreed to his request.

The sky quickly darkened, and her grandma, who thought that Yang Yuyao had not eaten enough, had already cooked the glutinous rice balls and brought them over. Yang Yuyao put the glutinous rice balls in the eating box and put them in the storage ring, hesitating whether he should use the jade pendant or not. Contact He Qianqing. Most people in this world do not have the habit of nightlife. Even monks only have a few prosperous towns where they can visit night markets and have nightlife. But for Xuanzhen City in the north, even though it was a city dominated by monks, the market closed early, and people went home and stayed behind closed doors. The same was true for Ye Qianqian, but Yang Yuyao knew that she did not fall asleep so quickly, and she would spend this time practicing. Mammy would go back to her room after dark and would only come out to greet her.

At this moment, Yang Yuyao discovered that a new protective talisman array he had just researched actually sounded an alarm, reminding him that there was someone on the roof. Why is there anyone on the roof at this time? Yang Yuyao was not sure that there was something wrong with the newly developed talisman array, but he still put on the space ring containing the weapon talismans and rushed out of the house to check. The heavy snow that started falling in the morning continued at night. The white snow reflected the hazy moonlight, making the night particularly bright. Yang Yuyao raised his head and looked at the roof, only to see He Qianqing standing on the roof, wearing a fur cloak. With a snowstorm.

"Master?" Yang Yuyao, who had never expected that He Qianqing would appear here in this posture, said uncertainly.

"Xiao Yao, why did you come out wearing such thin clothes?" He Qianqing asked with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Yang Yuyao jumped onto the roof with bare feet, walked up to him on the snow, and gently tugged on his sleeves.

"Come back to the house with me first." Yang Yuyao looked into He Qianqing's eyes and said.
