It's just that Su Ming's eighth knot in his hair has not been tied out after another month. There were three times when he wanted to tie it off, but... every time when he was about to take action, Su Ming...
They all paused.
He didn't feel it, and he didn't find that mysterious feeling, as the clown's father said. In this state, he had a premonition that if he forcibly tied the eighth knot, he would face a failure where all previous efforts were wasted.
So for the first time in the past two months, Su Ming put down his hair, put it away, and no longer forced it out, but let himself calm down.
"I need to find other people to test the doll formed by the grass knotting technique. Only in this way can we ensure that the eighth knot will not go wrong." Su Ming closed his eyes slightly. It is already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it has been 2 years since every year.
The first day is already very close.
According to the custom in my hometown, the first day of every year is the most important day of the year. Every family will be reunited together, happily, and filled with joy and warmth.
Su Ming still remembers that day last year, when he was still recovering from his injuries at Xiaoxiao'er's home. It was the first real warmth he encountered in his life after leaving Wushan. This warmth was different from the Ninth Peak.
, but equally precious.
That is the feeling of a mother, the care of a father, and the joy of a sister.
"The clown family...it's time to reunite..." Su Ming murmured softly. Chen Daxi's soul and body had been fused a few days ago and could wake up at any time. The reason why Su Ming waited for two months without taking him with him
He returned to Xiaoer's home because he was still observing and observing the Evil Spirit Sect's actions towards him after Zhao Chong's death.
In the past two months, he has been relieved and confirmed that the Evil Spirit Sect will no longer pay attention to this matter.
Su Ming was deep in thought when he raised his head, glanced at the distance, then stopped paying attention, closed his eyes, and meditated silently. It didn't take long, but he saw several figures walking in the snow in the distance,
The leader was none other than Qian Chen. He had a gloomy expression and held a bag in his hand. When he was approaching through the snow, he stopped ten feet away from Su Ming. His expression was hesitant. But after a moment, he sneered.
"Junior brother Chen, this place is not bad, it has enough spiritual energy. The snow scenery is very beautiful, and more importantly, it is quiet and remote enough. It is a good place to cultivate one's health!"
Su Ming looked calm and ignored Qian Chen, who was very attentive in the first month, but gradually became less frequent in the second month. Every time he came, he would look at him suspiciously.
"Hey, you didn't say anything. Junior brother Chen, you said you came from the outer sect. To be honest with me, I won't make it too difficult for you. I will arrange a chore job for you. You can go your own way.
I mind my own business, we don’t offend each other!
But you, how dare you lie to me. If I hadn't sent someone to the outer sect to check your background, you would have been deceived by you. Less than a year after joining the monastery, your master disappeared two months ago.
And because you are nothing, you were kicked out of the outer sect!
You are so cunning, come here to show off your power. Is this the right place for you to come? I tell you, Chen, you..." Qian Chen became more and more angry. He was angry at himself.
He looked away, thinking that the other party had a lot of background, but in fact it turned out to be so. This was a blow to him, and made him feel that his ability to read people, which he had honed for more than 20 years, was wrong.
This was something he couldn't forgive, especially since he was completely kept in the dark. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had not made any contact with the foreign sect for more than a month, and everyone in the foreign sect seemed to have forgotten this person, what if
This would not be a surprise at other times, but you must know that it is now the New Year's Eve. At this time, the outer sect will have an annual New Year's Eve Competition. If you are a master, no matter your cultivation or background, you will compete in this competition.
Showing the bottom than the top.
In the past, most of the disciples of the outer sect who Qian Chen met who were punished were recalled at this time, but he waited and waited, but did not see anyone coming and going from Su Ming. He secretly
In a hurry, he mobilized his power and asked the handymen he had arranged before to find out the news.
But the messages that were sent back one by one shocked Qian Chen. He was stunned for a long time, and finally stamped his feet. Those messages clearly explained Su Ming's arrival.
"The surnamed Chen is so cunning at such a young age. I can't say anything today. Senior brother, I want you to know that you don't say big words casually!" Qian Chen rolled up his sleeves angrily. The same was true for the people behind him, all of whom looked fierce.
"You come to my land and dare to offend me. Today I will not only beat you, but also send you to another place. This is not a place for you to stay!" Qian Chen took big steps and was about to approach Su.
While inscribing, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qian Chen calmly.
This glance had no power, but the calmness in Su Ming's eyes caused Qian Chen to stop suddenly after seeing it, and even stretched out his arms to stop the person who was about to rush behind him.
His heart suddenly started pounding faster. He looked into Su Ming's eyes, and his expression gradually became serious. Based on his experience and knowledge, if he were the other person, he would definitely panic at this moment, but the person in front of him was too calm.
This kind of calmness gradually made his scalp numb and suspicious.
"Is it possible that I made a mistake... It's impossible, this kid is just pretending to be a ghost. He acted like this before, which made me think he was an expert. What kind of bullshit expert!"
Qian Chen's eyes widened. Thinking of this, he took a few steps forward again with a ferocious smile. When he raised his fist and was about to smash it, he suddenly saw a flash of light in Su Ming's eyes that made him feel terrified.
His movement was sudden, and he even took a few steps back. He stared at Su Ming for a long time, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he snorted coldly.
"Well, since you are still a child, I won't argue with you, but you can't live here anymore. I will give you three days, uh, seven days. After seven days, I will take this place away!
If you don't obey then, humph..." Qian Chen sneered, took a few people around him, and left quickly. It wasn't until he was far away that he looked back with lingering fear and muttered in his heart.
"There is still something wrong. It seems that although this person does not have much backing, he should have some abilities, but it is useless. When the New Year Competition is over in seven days, I will invite some people to come over and suppress him." Qian Chen
While sneering, he suddenly trembled, as if he had a chill. He quickly tightened his leather jacket, cursed a few times in a low voice, and led the people behind him to the maid's office...
"It's better to find a few ladies to keep you warm. Alas, this is life. It's so nice to sit around the stove and hug the ladies in the winter. I, Qian Chen, have a good life." Qian Chen hummed a ditty,
Forgetting about the sudden shiver just now, I walked quickly.
Su Ming watched Qian Chen go away. With his cultivation level, he could kill Qian Chen by just letting out a little breath without letting outsiders notice at all.
But he didn't do this. In his hand, there was a black hair. This hair belonged to Qian Chen.
"I sent him here at the right time. I just want to use him to try out the various magical uses of the straw knotting technique after turning it into a doll!" Su Ming had no expression on his face and tied a knot with his hair.
The New Year is approaching, and the entire Evil Spirit Sect's outer sects, after several months of preparation, have launched a competition among the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect. This competition is a matter for their own Evil Spirit sect and has nothing to do with other evil sects.
Once a year, but the reason for this is that the Evil Immortal Sect, which is supreme in the hearts of other sects, will hold a competition within the entire Evil Sect every ten years.
For this grand ceremony, the Xie Ling Sect, Xie Chen Sect, and Xie Hao Sect are all preparing intensively. At the end of each year, after the competition between the outer sect disciples ends, in addition to selecting the first disciple of the inner sect, the inner sect disciples will also be selected.
The competition between the disciples of the sect also has generous rewards for the first place.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Su Ming. On this day at the end of the year, when the disciples of the outer sect began their competition, the sky was still snowing, and Su Ming stood up from his lotus position and took a step forward.
After taking this step, his body immediately blurred and disappeared without a trace.
When he appeared, he was already at the foot of the Evil Spirit Sect's mountain peak. His figure transformed and walked away step by step with an indifferent expression. The Evil Spirit Sect's mountain-protecting formation seemed to have no influence on him.
The purpose was that until he left, no one in the entire Evil Spirit Sect noticed Su Ming's departure.
In fact, no one went back to focus too much attention on Su Ming. After all, he looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
There was a lot of snow in the sky. Su Ming walked in mid-air, facing the wind and snow, and walked peacefully through the snowy mountains, snowfields, and mountains covered with ice and snow on the ground below, until he appeared in front of him.
A forest.
This forest is white because the soil is covered with white snow, and because the tree trunks in the forest are also covered with a thick layer of snow, and the heavy branches bend down, as if to welcome Su Ming's arrival.
This forest, after the ice and snow melt every year, will be filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus when the flowers bloom in spring. Here is the sweet-scented osmanthus forest...
From this gap in the forest, you can see the lights of every household in the village that Su Ming is familiar with. The color of the lights, in this late night and snowy day, makes people feel extra warm after seeing it.
Su Ming had a smile on his face, stepping on the snow, making a crunching sound, and walked forward step by step. In front of him was a very ordinary house, with lights shining through the paper windows of the house.
In the light, there is also the silhouette of a little girl with combed hair.
It has been almost a year... It has been almost a year since Su Ming left until he came back now. At this moment, on the day when every family is reunited, Su Ming stands outside the house, looking at the lights and the screen on the window.
He murmured softly, looking at the standing figure.
"Joker, Brother Gou Sheng is back."
