The nature of the Qiankun Sihun Competition is similar to that of the Wanren Competition. It is nothing more than the most top-level competition for the young generation in Wuyun Outer City. The final winner will not only receive generous rewards jointly provided by several families, but also
To a certain extent, it will greatly attract the attention of the major sects in Wuyun inner city, and thus embark on a smooth road to success.
Now after Shen Qing separated from Liu Jie and Mo Qi, he was preparing to go straight to the venue of the competition. Of course, he was not ready to sign up for the competition. Firstly, it was too late, and secondly, he had already met Wu Yun from the outer city.
The leader Qi Tianyang has had a direct confrontation, so there is no need to participate in this kind of competition anymore.
After all, Qi Tianyang is one of the top representatives of the younger generation in Wuyun Outer City. Shen Qing has already tested the rough gap between the younger generation in Wuyun Outer City and the younger generation in Wanrenshan from him, and then signs up to participate
What kind of competition is nothing more than energy.
Therefore, rather than participating in the competition, it is better to sit on the sidelines and watch and appreciate, and maybe you can get some other gains.
The venue for the Qiankun Sihun Competition is in the east of Wuyun Outer City. There is a huge square there. According to the ownership, it should be the private territory of the Qi family. However, in recent years, the Qi family has been gaining momentum and has been the third largest square in the outer city.
The family considers itself a self-proclaimed family, so in recent years, they have used this venue for competitions free of charge.
Shen Qing naturally learned this from other people's mouths. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, secretly thinking that the Qi family could still cause trouble.
This is not because he has any prejudice against the Qi family, but because of Qi Tianyang's temperament, which makes it difficult for people to think of their family as benevolent people. He also used his private land as a venue for free. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than to show off their family's great cause.
.
Of course, this is just Shen Qing's first impression. Maybe the old Patriarch Qi is really a virtuous person, but he has raised a sinister and narrow-minded son. Who can say for sure.
Without further ado, Shen Qing spent five hundred yuan to buy a spectator ticket, then found his seat and sat down, waiting for the competition to begin.
It was still some time before the main competition started. The Qi family arranged for many singers to perform on stage. Shen Qing took a few glances and found it boring, so he closed his eyes and rested, trying to practice calmness in such a noisy environment.
mind.
In short, he does not want to miss any opportunity to practice, and is willing to try various cultivation environments, because let alone Yuan Xiu, he is just an ordinary person, and he cannot grow in a greenhouse forever. He can only learn how to
Only by having the ability to overcome different environments can you be at home like a fish in water.
The singing was extremely loud. As the time for the main game got closer and closer, representatives from major families in the outer city also entered the venue one by one, and the cheers in the field became louder and louder. Shen Qing, on the other hand, was greatly disturbed.
.
The word "quiet" is what you pay attention to in your cultivation. You need to have a quiet mind internally and a quiet environment externally. This is the best state of cultivation. Many times, when some people are full of hatred or distracting thoughts in their hearts, they simply cannot do it very well.
Good practice can even lead to obsession. This is the reason.
As for Shen Qing, because he is deliberately training himself, he will definitely not go crazy. However, if he wants to force himself to reach a satisfactory state of cultivation in such a noisy environment, it is indeed difficult for him.
But he is not in a hurry. If you want to exercise, you must exercise only if you are not good enough. If you can already do it, then it is called review.
As the saying goes, being blind to what is happening outside the window and only reading the books of saints and sages, Shen Qing wanted to achieve this state as much as possible, so he kept thinking silently in his heart to eliminate distracting thoughts and not let everything outside interfere with him.
own sight and hearing.
However.
Just one word, difficult!
It is really extremely difficult. In this environment, the more you think about isolating yourself from the outside world, the harder it is to calm down. After Shen Qing tried it for about a stick of incense, he opened it for the first time.
eyes.
He took a long breath and let out the manic and depressive energy in his chest and abdomen.
"Well, it seems that it is really difficult to pursue that kind of pure state."
Shen Qing secretly thought to himself, the so-called state of purity means that his heart can be ethereal and clear anytime and anywhere. In this case, no matter what external objects, they will not be able to affect themselves.
And this is obviously not only a help for cultivation. If you can really learn it, your mentality will undoubtedly be improved in all aspects of life.
He raised his head and looked at the Drum Tower next to the square. It was already very close to the official start time of the competition, so he did not try again, but waited for the start of the competition.
Looking at it, the entire auditorium is roughly divided into five areas. There is no doubt that the people sitting in each large area are the most powerful family forces in Wuyun Outer City. They are Qi
Family, Qin family, Luo family, Meng family.
As for the remaining large area, it was obvious that they were not the families from Wuyun's outer city, but outsiders who came from various places to watch the game. Among these people, Shen Qing also saw many familiar costumes.
For example, the light-colored clothing of the Que Yuzong that is light and elegant but looks extremely neat, the flamboyant Kuangsha Zong clothing like the one worn by Mo Qi, and the dark clothing of the Zhenyuan Sect, etc.
Shen Qing looked around a few times, but unfortunately he didn't see anyone familiar.
Regarding this, he hopes to meet some "acquaintances", such as Master Que Guang, Elder Tan, etc. As for Master Que Yu, to be honest, forget it. As the number one person in Wuyun City, his status is too high.
Even if he did come, Shen Qing would not be able to shamelessly run in front of others and try to get close to them.
Of course, this does not mean that Master Que Guang and Elder Tan have low status. On the contrary, not only compared to Shen Qing, but also compared to everyone in the audience, their status can be called transcendent.
But after all, they are the second-in-command or even the top ten of the sect, so compared with the leader of a sect, they are naturally less bound by words and deeds, and they will be more "approachable".
Unable to find an acquaintance, Shen Qing had no choice but to give up and sit there alone, waiting for the competition to begin.
Soon, the time finally arrived. As the host of the conference announced, countless fireworks shot into the sky, and all the contestants also took the stage one by one in this grand ceremony.
"Haha, the scene is really much bigger than our Wanren Mountain. It deserves to be called Wuyun Outer City."
Shen Qing secretly commented, whether it should be said or not, although the Yuandao field in Wuyun Outer City is not much better than Wanren Mountain, it can even be said to be still at a large level, but they rely on their geographical advantages to develop their business.
But it is undoubtedly much better than a relatively remote area like Wanren Mountain. This cannot be denied in any case.
"Alas, when I won the championship of the Ten Thousand Ren Zhengfeng Tournament some time ago, I never saw such a scene."
Shen Qing joked and slandered, saying that people have to go out to see the world. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this sentence was simply the truth. Although he had experienced many storms, if he really wanted to talk about the world, he had never seen it.
No wonder people always call him a country bumpkin. I think there is a certain reason.
While he was thinking to himself, Shen Qing's shoulder was suddenly tapped lightly.
He turned back in shock, thinking at the same time that he had obviously observed that there were no familiar people here, but now someone came to see him, who could it be?
With such doubts in his mind, he turned his head, and what he saw was a charming little face that was a little shy.
"Ji Ruirong?"
The visitor was none other than the daughter of the Ji family who had an unhappy breakup at the inn that day!
Of course, saying they broke up on bad terms is actually not that serious, because Shen Qing has already said everything that needs to be said, and he has reason to believe that Ji Ruirong should be able to understand his good intentions.
That is, I don't hate her, I just don't want to give her impossible hopes, otherwise it will be a kind of harm to her.
"Master Shen, are you... okay?"
Ji Ruirong's little face looked a little shy, and she seemed a little hesitant when she asked this question.
Shen Qing didn't expect it to be her, so she was stunned and could only nod her head, but immediately lost her words.
Well or not, this question cannot be answered at all.
Obviously, the reason why Ji Ruirong asked this was because she didn't speak straightforwardly, but Shen Qing actually knew exactly what she wanted to ask.
Nothing more than that, I just want to ask Shen Qing whether she suffered any loss in her brother's scheme!
Shen Qing did not suffer from this, and she would not even be plotted by Ji Ruisong from now on. But how should she tell Ji Ruirong this? Did she tell her that her brother had died in Qi Tianyang's hands?
There is no doubt that if you say this, it will be a huge blow to this innocent and somewhat princess-like girl.
Perhaps, she is still waiting for her brother to appear on the field, and is still looking forward to his brother being able to compete for glory for the family...
"Master Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Ruirong saw that Shen Qing's expression seemed a little unnatural.
"No, it's okay."
Shen Qing's hesitation made Ji Ruirong frown, "Mr. Shen, is my brother still pestering you?"
"That's true. I haven't seen your brother for several days, and he hasn't taken the initiative to trouble me." Shen Qing said quickly.
"Oh, that's good, but speaking of which, my brother hasn't come to see me these days. Even brother Lu Bin has gone somewhere. The competition is about to start now. I really don't know what they are up to."
Ji Ruirong seemed to never have doubts about Shen Qing's words, let alone have any intention of thinking negatively about them.
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Ji Ruisong's death had nothing to do with him. He died purely from internal fighting. But Shen Qing could not tell Ji Ruirong about it, because if Ji Ruirong fought back too hard,
, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape.
After all, the Ji family is a vassal family of the Qi family, and he is just an outsider, just like Ji Ruirong. But will the rest of the Ji family choose to believe his own words?
You know, the murderer Qi Tianyang is also dead, so even if you want to confront him, there is no possibility!
"Maybe...maybe he is with Qi Tianyang."
"Oh, it should be possible. Mr. Shen, the game has already started, so I won't disturb you?"
Ji Ruirong bowed and said goodbye. When she turned her back to Shen Qing, the shy expression disappeared instantly and was replaced by one as cold and emotionless as ice!
