[Comprehensive] Stealing the Halo of the Protagonist

The original intention of the Quanzong Grand Competition was to select the rising stars of the Yuanchen world, but with the increase in the number of participating schools and schools, this very serious and honest competition gradually changed its flavor.

For example, the Quanzong Grand Competition = Blind Date Conference.After each session of the Quanzong Grand Competition, there will be inexplicably frequent movements among the sects. Someone who did not want to be named bluntly said: At this time, opening an inn at the gate of the Qingzong is the most profitable way.Naturally, there is a reason for him to say this. The Shangqing Sect is the largest sect in the Yuanchen Realm, and the ratio of males and females is relatively balanced. It is extremely high, but the precepts of the Shang Qingzong are relatively strict in this regard, so the inn outside the Zongmen has become an excellent place for young couples to date.

But since Jin Xiuzong came out and participated in the Quanzong Grand Competition, this honest competition has turned into a beauty pageant again.The beauty pageant is naturally aimed at female Daoist cultivators, but basically as long as the disciples of Jin Xiuzong participate, the title of the so-called "Fairy of Yuanchen" will fall into their pockets.When they learned that the representative of Jinxiuzong this time was a man, many female Taoist cultivators who were placed high hopes by their female masters secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they never thought that Jinxiuzong would go too far this time. Qiao Yi, the most promising disciple of Shang Qingzong, fell in love at first sight, and declared to his master in front of everyone that night that he would not marry Feng Qi. Master Qiao Yi, who was in charge of Jielv Peak, fainted out of anger.For a while, Feng Qi, as the "party", was also pushed to the forefront.

Ever since the rumor spread, there were always many people gathered outside Mo Qi's courtyard.Some people came to inquire about his and Qiao Yi's funeral, some people came to see what kind of character could make people fall in love with at a glance, Mo Qi was looked at like a mascot, which made him very annoying, but that Senior Sister Fenpo, who loves to watch good shows, insisted on leaving after the game, which made him extremely embarrassed, so he simply cleared his things and went to a nearby town to seek refuge alone.

When Qiao Yi came to look for Mo Qi without telling his master, the small courtyard was already empty.

The nearby towns are the same as the towns of ordinary people. Most of them live in ordinary people. There are hawkers in the market, food and drink vendors, all kinds of goods, and pawn merchants who laugh and curse. Every word of each of them wipes the world. The strong smell of fireworks.

Mo Qi walked through the city gate with a sword on her back, just in time to see the afterglow of the setting sun slanting through the high end of the alley wall, casting warm light and shadow on the gray-blue floor tiles, the pedestrians around him stopped and walked, and the gray-blue stone bricks also increased in size. Or a slightly distorted black shadow.Mo Qi blinked and took a step forward, the orange light of the setting sun fell on his shoulders, and an extremely long shadow fell behind him, blending into the world of the city.

"Sir, today is our Lantern Festival, why don't you buy a mask?" An old woman with a basket came up to Mo Qi with a smile and said, her basket was filled with masks of different colors.

Mo Qi thought for a while, took out some money, and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman found the money, then handed a fox face mask to Mo Qi with a smile, and pointed to the southeast, "In a little while, the mayor will announce that the lights will be lit, and you should be able to see the best things when you go there. light scene."

Mo Qi said "Thank you", thinking that it would be good to go to admire the lanterns if there is nothing left and right, so she followed the direction of the old woman's finger.

Not long after walking, Mo Qi saw a long street, decorated with all kinds of colored lights on both sides, these lights have not been lit yet, but the lights with various patterns drawn on different colored paper are either delicate or bright The lanterns have formed a very beautiful scenery in this twilight.A lot of people had gathered in the street, most of them were wearing masks of different shapes. Seeing this, Mo Qi also put on the fox face mask in her hand, revealing only a pair of radiant eyes.

While looking at the various lanterns, Mo Qi suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure. He subconsciously chased after him to see who it was, but in an instant, purple fireworks exploded in the sky above his head, and then all the lanterns on both sides of the long street followed one after another. One lights up.

Not long after, Mo Qi was surrounded by bright lights, and before she had time to be amazed by the beautiful scenery, she turned her head, and sure enough, she lost the figure she was looking for.

Mo Qi thought for a while, and always felt that the person just now was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't match his name. He thought about it again, he should have met recently, and it wouldn't be particularly important, so he put aside that mysterious person and went to watch the lantern up.

Xing Xing looked at several places, and Mo Qi discovered that some of these lights had lantern riddles, but some did not.Left and right he came to play, and he simply joined the ranks of guessing lantern riddles with the masked men next to him.

The lantern that is being admired is covered with rice-red oil paper, and the lamp bone is also very delicate. The overall appearance is exquisite and cute, attracting many people to guess lantern riddles around.

Mo Qi roughly scanned the small characters on the lamp, and after reading it silently in his heart, he got the answer, but he didn't say anything, suddenly someone jumped over the crowd and gave him a salute, "Congratulations, young master, for answering the answer, my lady invites you to the teahouse A story."

Mo Qi sized up the servant dressed as a servant, shook his head, and said, "I don't have an answer."

The boy didn't panic either, he just smiled and pointed to the teahouse behind him, there was a young girl who hired Tingting standing behind the railing on the second floor of the teahouse, "My lady is over there, she looks at your confident appearance , I want to hear your answer to this lantern riddle."

Mo Qi looked along and met the young lady's eyes.

Seeing him looking at her, the girl couldn't help but her cheeks flew into red clouds, and she pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Before Mo Qi answered, the people who were guessing lantern riddles with Mo Qi were unconvinced, "We are also guessing lantern riddles, why should this person be invited by your lady, it's not fair!"

The boy glanced at the back in some embarrassment, and then asked Mo Qi: "Then I don't know what the answer is, sir?"

Mo Qi didn't want to go, so she made a random nonsense, but didn't want the group of spectators behind him to yell the same answer as soon as his answer came out, forcing the boy to frown.

Seeing this, Mo Qi opened his mouth and said, "My answer must be wrong, so don't worry about it, little brother."

Hearing this, the boy loosened his brows, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Mo Qi, and said, "Master, the answer is right, please go to the tea house, my lady treats you to tea."

Now Mo Qi couldn't refuse, and everyone behind him hugged him and walked excitedly into the teahouse, but when he reached the first floor, everyone around him stayed on the first floor to drink tea, but he was invited to the private room on the second floor, and Those who still wanted to follow were also frightened away by the two guards standing at the door of the private room.

"Young master." After entering the private room, before he could open his mouth, he heard the girl's clear voice like a silver bell, "What kind of tea do you like, sir, I'll ask my servant to make a pot for it."

Mo Qi didn't want to stay any longer, so she said in a low voice through the mask: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, I still have something to do, so I need to go first."

Seeing his perfunctory attitude, the girl couldn't help being a little dissatisfied: "You answered my lantern riddles while wearing a mask, why do you still avoid it like this? Could it be that I'm not good-looking enough?"

Mo Qi hesitated in his heart, guessing that there might be some customs that he didn't know about this Lantern Festival, "Forgive me for my ignorance, I just arrived in a small town today, and I don't know if there are any strange local customs. Please forgive me, miss."

The girl blushed with anger, "You...you, why are you so ignorant? The Lantern Festival in our town is for young men and women to go on blind dates. Unmarried women of the right age make lanterns and write lantern riddles by themselves. The man put on a mask to guess, you didn’t ask about this special custom before you came in, are you fooling me?”

Mo Qi was silent for a moment, then took off the fox mask on his face, and said: "Sorry, I didn't mean it, this mask was bought at the gate of the city, I didn't mean that."

The young girl looked at his jade-like face under the lamp, her heart pounded like a deer, and her ugly face suddenly softened again, "It might as well, if you wish, the young master will go back with me and tell my father to come to propose marriage, and I won't care about it."

Mo Qi frowned, didn't he understand what he just said?

Seeing him frowning, the girl felt even more moved, and immediately put aside the barriers between men and women and moved lightly to fall into Mo Qi's arms. Before she could say "Young Master" softly and coquettishly, a sharp sword suddenly struck her forehead.

Mo Qi was dazzled by the sword light, and quickly pulled the girl away, dodging the wounding weapon, and before he could draw the sword to block it, the sharp sword turned and forced it to his throat, stuck a centimeter away from the skin, No longer approaching, when he raised his head, it was a familiar person.

"Last time you saved me, this time you came to kill me?" Mo Qi looked at the person in front of her with a smile, and there was a bit of unreasonable intimacy in her words.

The young man with the sword had serious eyes, he only hummed secretly when he heard his words, and withdrew the sword in his hand, "It's not proper to flirt with people in broad daylight."

It is rare for a young man to speak, but when he speaks, his tone is extremely gunpowder.

Mo Qi was also a little surprised. Originally, he seemed to be extremely indifferent and unpopular, but he didn't expect to be so lively when talking to him.

"Young master is my future husband, so naturally he can talk about it!" The girl beside him interjected unwillingly.

The cold air around the young man was even heavier, and the aura was so strong that the girl shrank her neck, feeling unreasonable fear in her heart.

Mo Qi grabbed the young man, gave him a soft smile, then bowed his hands to the girl and said: "I was wrong today, I hope the lady can find a good husband again. My friend and I left first."

After speaking, Mo Qi pulled the young man and disappeared in front of the girl.

Everything happened too fast, and when the "boy" came in, there was only the girl left in the private room.

"Where are the others!?"

"Your subordinate is guilty. You could almost feed him with drugs, but suddenly jumped into a strange young man and took him away." The girl knelt on the ground with a bead of sweat beading her forehead.

"Trash!" He Jing tore off the disguise, and slapped the girl hard.

"Ah!" Just hearing a scream, the girl was beaten and paralyzed on the ground, a lot of blood froth came out of her mouth and nose, her body trembled for a while, and then she died.

He Jing glanced at the female corpse on the ground, then let out a soft snort, and left the private room.
