Cultivating demon energy has been a taboo in the Immortal Cultivation Continent for thousands of years. It is not for other reasons, but because demons have been rampant since the Qin Dynasty and have oppressed human monks for hundreds of years. In the end, it was Dao Xiu who rewrote this humiliating history.

Ascetics will never be willing to degenerate to learn the things of demons.

It's a matter of dignity and the bottom line.

Contrary to the perception of the world, demons cultivate yin qi, which is similar to the primordial qi that fills the world, but it is more sinister than primordial qi, and it is easier to erode people's xinxing. end.

Therefore, demon cultivators are often not treated favorably by Taoist cultivators.

And the devil qi is different from the yin qi. It is another extremely terrifying evil, or it can be called a bottomless abyss, which can swallow almost everything.

The devilish energy in the magic sword refers to the above. The material for tempering is the magic weapon left after beheading demons, and the devilish energy contained in it is also passed down.

Generally speaking, most of the devilish energy in the magic sword has dissipated with the passage of time, leaving only a few, and these are not enough to disturb people's minds.

People who quietly practiced devil energy were different, they directly put their own lives on the next impossible bet.No matter how firm your will is, how fierce your heart is to become stronger, you will definitely be eroded in the end, and you will step into hell step by step.

All magicians know that this is the curse of the demon.

It is said that a hundred years ago, someone secretly cultivated demonic energy behind the back of outsiders, but he couldn't hold on until he reached the tribulation stage.

Li Canran woke up after soaking in the medicated bath for a long time that day, and his body also recovered. Not only that, but because of this battle, his cultivation base was lucky enough to break through, reaching the seventh floor of the bigu stage.

Dong Yu was very envious when he heard about this, and wanted to use an excuse to fight Zhou Rong, or be beaten up by him, but he was afraid that his physical fitness was not so good, and it would be bad if he retreated instead of advancing.

After the sword sacrificial ceremony, Li Canran retreated for a day and a half to strengthen the still restless vitality that had just broken through to the seventh floor of the bigu stage.

When he came out, Zhou Rong told him about the Lantern Festival.

After he mentioned it, Li Canran remembered that he hadn't celebrated a festival for a long time.

The time of cultivation has been long, and even the concept of festivals has gradually been integrated into this period of time.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, Dong Yu mentioned this matter again early in the morning. Li Canran just wanted to go down the mountain with him for a walk, when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment to ask the Great Elder about the sword formation this morning.

Dong Yu said regretfully: "Then I will take your sword spirit down the mountain to play."

When Xiao Tong heard this, he was excited for a while, and immediately looked at him with teary eyes.

As its strength continues to grow, the distance it can travel away from Li Canran is getting farther and farther. From the first radius of one kilometer to the current ten kilometers, it can travel freely.

Li Canran agreed quite straightforwardly, "Go, so you won't bother me by my side."

Xiao Tong happily laid on Dong Yu's shoulder and said, "Let's go!"

Dong Yu said: "Sword Spirit, can't you become bigger? Let me see if you change into one."

Xiaotong said: "It takes energy to become bigger, and don't always call me sword spirit sword spirit, I have a name, and my name is Yingzhi."

Dong Yu casually complained: "Who took it? It's really ugly."

Xiao Tong:? ?

Li Canran: "I took it."

Dong Yu immediately changed his tone and sighed: "Wow, this name is so nice, it's amazing."

"roll."

One person and one sword spirit went down the mountain, Li Canran went to the Elder Hall, and when he came back, he heard that there was someone selling lanterns in the market at the foot of Tushen Peak, so he went for a walk when he was bored, and the tea in the house happened to be drunk , ready to buy some back together in the past.

When I came to the market, I found that there were several times more people coming and going than usual. Some people even set up a lantern stand, saying that they would give away lanterns for free if they guessed the lantern riddles correctly.

Li Canran smiled when he saw that man.

It was You Yangxu, who had not seen him for three years and had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage. He was wearing a dark blue double-breasted robe, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

When he was about to walk over to say hello, he realized that Zhou Rong was also there, expressionlessly handing out lanterns to the disciples who answered the lantern riddles correctly.

He inquired with a senior sister next to him, only to find out that You Yangxu had lost a bet with others, and was forced to take over the errand from the Elder's Hall. Unfortunately, there was no one to help him, and he happened to see Zhou Rong passing by, so he caught him .

At first Zhou Rong wanted to leave, but You Yangxu threatened to hang all the lanterns that could not be given away at his door, so he followed him extremely reluctantly.

It was rare for Li Canran to see Zhou Rong deflated, and he was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, guessing lantern riddles with the disciples of the same line around him.

He was happy for a few seconds before he was spotted by You Yangxu, who was understaffed.

"Hey, is that person Xie Xiu? Long time no see. Come on, let's distribute lanterns for senior brother."

Hold.

He shouldn't be happy so early.

As soon as he moved his footsteps, he was just about to sneak away in the crowd, when he heard another sentence, "If you dare to leave, don't blame senior brother for being rude, I still have thousands of lanterns that I haven't sent out yet."

Li Canran choked for breath.

"Be careful that I hang up lanterns all over your yard, all roads will be blocked." You Yangxu quickly added.

Zhou Rong: ...

Li Canran:? ? ?

He was forced to walk over and stand beside Zhou Rong, helping to arrange the lanterns together.

"Where are the handyman disciples, is no one free?"

Zhou Rongdao: "I was summoned by the elders of the halls, saying that they wanted to count the things sent by Hongmengzong. How could you come here and send them to your door for him to send?"

"I'll guess the lantern riddles." Li Canran said, it's okay to be idle anyway.

It's a pity that I guessed more than ten items, but I didn't guess one of them.

He lazily raised his eyelids, and gave the lantern in his hand to a disciple in front of him who had guessed the lantern riddle correctly, "I'll give you one more."

"Wow, thank you." The disciple said gratefully, "But this one is too ugly, can I change it?"

He changed a lantern and handed it over.

Zhou Rongdao: "What are you wearing on your hand?"

Hearing this, Li Canran lowered his head and glanced, wearing a braided thin red rope on his wrist.

"I bought it at the market just now. It is said to be for blessing and protection from evil spirits. Wear it casually."

Zhou Rong: "Does this custom still exist on the Lantern Festival?"

Um?There's none?

This was what Xiaotong gave him last night, and he believed it to be true.

"By the way, I bought a few more, do you want it?" Li Canran said casually.

As he spoke, he took a handful out of his pocket and threw one over.

Zhou Rong took it and looked at it, and found that it was just an ordinary red rope, mixed with white jade and broken silver, without any fluctuations in vitality.

The red rope is very long, and it has to be wound around the wrist several times.

"Forget it and give it back to me." Li Canran suddenly woke up.

Originally thinking that Kong Ling would treat him to a drink, he just bought one for everyone as a joke, but now he realizes that this thing is too crude, and he doesn't know what's wrong with him to give it away.

Zhou Rong said coldly: "It's all given away, can I still go back?"

Li Canran raised his eyebrows and didn't speak any more.

More and more disciples came to the market at the foot of the mountain, and there was a long queue in front of the lanterns.

There were a lot of people talking, and I heard some gossip.

It turned out that You Yangxu made a bet to confess to the person he likes, but he regretted it temporarily, so he had to come here to sell lanterns.

Seeing his look of being listless and furious at times, one could tell that he was in a bad mood.

When night fell, [-]% to [-]% of the lanterns were sold, and [-]% to [-]% were given away, and the last few were thrown away by You Yangxu.

He gave all the money from the sale to Li Canran and Zhou Rong, and went to retreat to practice alone.

……

The moon hangs high in the sky.

In the yard where she was, Kong Ling simply cleaned up and hung two lanterns.

Yao Tianzhuo helped her distribute the dishes, and opened two jars of good wine from the cellar.

"It was put in four years ago," he recalls.

Dong Yu came late with Xiao Tong.

He sat down, then looked around, "Hey, where is the red fox, why didn't you see it come out today."

Li Canran had an innocent expression on his face.

Since he raised the red fox for Kong Ling for a few days last time, it was frightened by Zhou Rong and Xiao Zi, and it probably has a psychological shadow. When Zhou Rong came over just now, it ran away without looking back.

Zhou Rong's complexion remained unchanged.

Kong Ling said calmly: "It is afraid of strangers."

Dong Yu asked strangely: "Isn't the red fox very familiar with us, and still afraid of strangers?"

"Hey, drink your bar." Qian Zhemao said.

Xiao Tong flew back to Li Canran, had fun, and collapsed on the small table in front of him in a good mood.

In addition to the wine dishes, there were also several dishes of spirit herbs seasoned with wine on the table.

There is no way, during the bigu period, you have to avoid eating five grains, and you can only eat these.

Dong Yu complained: "Ah, I want to eat roast goose, lotus duck sticks, lychee kidney..."

He mentioned more than a dozen dishes in one breath.

Until Li Canran said: "Shut up."

He just gave up.

Xiaotong hugged a small wine jar and asked in a low voice, "Host, can I drink?"

Li Canran said: "Can you digest it?"

Xiaotong: QAQ

After everyone drank, they were not willing to use their vitality to dissipate the power of the alcohol, and they were all a little drunk.

Xiaotong finally took a sip secretly, probably caused some system failure, and was also drunk.

Li Canran leaned against a railing, looking at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a little sleepy.

Xiaotong is making up the tradition of Shangyuan Festival with him.

"It is said that Zhinu is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She especially likes weaving, but hates the life in the sky, so she secretly descended from Fan and married the Cowherd. The Emperor of Heaven knew about it..."

It hiccupped and told a story about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Li Canran didn't bother to interrupt it.

Xiao Tong stretched out his finger, pointed at the moon, and said more and more vigorously: "At this time of the year, there will be countless magpies flying over—"

"Shut up!" Li Canran couldn't help it anymore, and let out a low snort.

Big magpie, it's Qixi Festival.

Dong Yu sighed quietly: "You let it talk, this is the first time someone told me the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the sword spirit... No, Yingzhi, you continue to talk."

Xiaotong: "I know a lot, what else do you want to hear?"

"Stop talking, go back." Li Canran scolded.

Xiaotong refused to go back. After drinking, he became more courageous, "I also know that there are thousands of roads, and safety comes first. You don't drink with a sword, and you don't drink with a sword."

Li Canran: ...

Xiaotong: "Oh, I thought of it, I know why the red fox..." It changes its fur every three months.

Before Li Canran could finish speaking, he quickly covered its mouth with sharp eyesight and threw it down the stairs.

Seeing this, Qian Zhemao changed the topic, and said, "Well, I saw you at the market at the foot of the mountain today, and I also saw Senior Brother You. I heard that he lost a bet with someone."

Kong Ling naturally took over the conversation.

Several people continued to chat aimlessly.

Li Canran was dizzy and ready to go back to sleep.

When he walked to the door, he saw a letter stuck in the crack of the door.

He heard footsteps behind him.

Turning around, he saw Zhou Rong, and followed him back.

He was about to open the door and go in when he heard Zhou Rong say: "You don't have to be afraid, the red fox is a low-level monster and can't communicate with people."

"What am I afraid of?" Li Canran asked calmly.

Zhou Rong was blocked by him, looked at him fixedly, and said: "It's okay."

……

The news of Hongmengzong's upcoming visit spread throughout the sect, but they hadn't arrived yet, and a lot of things for a courtesy visit had arrived.

The handyman disciples who were in charge of counting were short of manpower, and several official disciples were called over.

Li Canran came to a spacious warehouse in Tushen Peak, and found that several other people had come and were busy counting.

Someone said: "Our sect should have sent a lot, anyway, we can't lose face."

Li Canran bent over, "Tsk, it's really troublesome."

This is sent back and forth, isn't it all the same in the end?

In addition to giving to the sect, there are also some things privately given by the disciples.

Li Canran counted the kung fu casually, and saw that one was for Zhou Rong.

He didn't bother to see who sent it, so he just threw it over.

Zhou Rong took it and was slightly taken aback. He saw a familiar name on it.

Peng Xiaoxue.

Things are decorated with wooden boxes, heavy.

"Xie Xiu, here is something for you too." Someone shouted.

Li Canran raised his head upon hearing the sound, is there anything else for him?

He took it curiously, and found that it was a set of ancient swords made of jasper sent by Wen Renheng, which looked like carved models.

He was originally practicing in Hongmengzong.

"Here's another one for you." Kong Ling said in a calm voice, "It's from Peng Xiaoxue."

Zhou Rong raised his head, his eyes were surprised.

Not to mention him, even Li Canran himself was a little confused.

Did Peng Xiaoxue give him something?

Just kidding.

He took a long box from Kong Ling, with his name actually written on it, signed by Peng Xiaoxue.

what is this woman thinking...

Li Canran opened it and looked at it, only to find that it was a picture scroll.

He glanced at it before he froze, his fingers stiffened.

It is the portrait of Xie Xiu's mother, Yan Ruyi, wearing a green and luxurious robe, and a few watery textures can be seen on the lapel of her clothes.

It was the Cang Haijia that I gave her.
