Ronin from Douluo

…

"What a nice view!"

Zeng Yi raised his head and looked at the rain of flowers from the sky. The pale yellow and white locust flowers were falling in the wind. This scene was simply extremely beautiful.

Looking at the rain of flowers all over the sky, Zeng Yi felt that at this moment, his mood was extremely calm and relaxed, as if his soul had been purified.

"Mo Xiao, Spring Festival, do you think this ancient locust tree will bloom like this every year?"

Facing Zeng Yi's question, Mo Xiao also shook his head in confusion.

"No, the locust trees would bloom during the previous sacrifices, but very few of them bloomed. But this time, they were full of locust flowers. The giant tree standing on the ground looked like a huge tree.

Flower umbrellas and rain of flowers fill the sky. This scene is really too shocking!

This is the most shocking and amazing scene I have ever seen in my life!”

Mo Xiao also had his eyes widened, looking at the rain of flowers in the sky in surprise, and marveled again and again.

Even for him, as a native of a small town, this locust tree has been a place he often played in as a child since he could remember. This is the first time he has seen this ancient locust tree after so many years.

, the flowers are blooming so luxuriantly!

In the past, the locust trees would bloom every year during the Spring Festival Ceremony, but they were not as blooming as this time.

If there were any differences, the only difference was that this time the sacrifice was hosted by the Sword Master from the Sword God Palace.

So, is this the difference?

However, there is no need to worry too much about the reason. After all, the locust tree means auspiciousness, peace, health and auspiciousness. This ancient locust tree is full of flowers, maybe it indicates that something good is about to happen.

occur.

The end of the Sacrifice Conference does not mean that this year's Blooming Spring Festival is over. Next, there will be competitions between the major swordsmanship schools and various gyms, which is the Sword Trial Conference.

The sacrificial meeting has been completed, and a battle arena has been set up below the altar. Many people are sitting in the audience seats, waiting to watch the exciting sword showdown.

"Brother Lang, shall we go over and take a look?"

Mo Xiao seemed to be very interested in this competition and wanted to take Zeng Yi over to have a look.

However, when talking about this, Zeng Yi seemed to have remembered something, looked at Mo Xiao aside, and asked: "In this sword trial competition, our Gale Wind Gym is going to have a competition with Zhenyuan Gym who came to compete before?

"

Mo Xiaodao: "Well, that's it. Before, the shame that Zhenyuan Gym gave me to Gale Gym must be repaid this time, and I will also announce to the whole town that Gale Gym has reopened!"

"Then do you need my help?"

Hearing this, Mo Xiao shook his head, "No, this is our Mo family's business. Father's revenge will naturally be avenged by our siblings. So, Brother Lang, you don't have to worry about these things. My elder sister said

Yes, she can handle this kind of thing by herself, she doesn’t need you to take action!”

Mo Xiao rejected Zeng Yi's kindness. He knew that Zeng Yi was very powerful. If he represented the Gale Wind Gym to challenge the Zhenyuan Gym, then I am afraid that no one in the Zhenyuan Gym could beat him.

.However, some things must be done by yourself. Relying on outsiders can never make up for the doubts and regrets in your heart.

Zeng Yi looked at Mo Xiao's firm gaze and said nothing, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Today's competition is just a relatively ordinary battle of souls and swords. Everyone fights, discusses, and exchanges each other's practice experience. The really exciting highlight will be the battle between the major swordsmanship schools and gyms tomorrow.

Therefore, Zeng Yi stayed with Mo Xiao for a while and found it boring, so he found an excuse and ran away, leaving Mo Xiao alone.

Zeng Yi was alone, wandering around the shopping streets of the festival, stopping and walking, enjoying the spring festival.

Zeng Yi was walking alone at the festival. Before he knew it, the time had almost reached the afternoon.

Watching the sunset gradually sinking in the horizon, the sky became red, dark, and silent. Zeng Yi's mood also became a little lonely.

Zeng Yi stood in the middle of the road with people coming and going, looking back behind him and looking at the ancient locust tree in full bloom. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the petals were dyed with a layer of red clouds. It was very beautiful!

Compared with the pale yellow and white locust tree at noon, the red locust tree at this moment has a unique charm.

Looking at the huge locust tree standing on the ground, Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh.

It's time for you to go

Yes, Zeng Yi is planning to leave this town.

He didn't know when the demon hidden in his body would take over his consciousness and wreak havoc.

In order to prevent the harmonious and beautiful scene in front of him from being damaged and destroyed, he had no choice but to leave and say goodbye to them, going to a place without human habitation.

Perhaps, this is how he will end his life.

Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew by, carrying some locust flower petals, slowly falling from the sky.

Zeng Yi couldn't help but stretched out his palm and caught a petal.

Looking at the yellow and white thing in his hand, Zeng Yi's eyes couldn't help but become a little distracted.

Could it be that death is the only destination?

"Wow wow~ Mom, mom, where are you woo?"

At this time, a child's cry came from behind, making Zeng Yi come to his senses.

Turning around, I saw a little girl standing there, holding a bouquet of locust flowers in her hand, her head raised, and crying loudly and helplessly.

Seeing this, Zeng Yi couldn't help but walk over.

"Kid, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Zeng Yi stood in front of the girl, squatted down, and asked with a smile.

"Mom, I lost it, woo woo~"

Phew~

Listening to the little girl's answer, Zeng Yi almost couldn't help but laugh.

You should have lost yourself by wandering around! Zeng Yi muttered in his heart.

However, today is a sacrificial meeting. There are a lot of people here and it is complicated. If adults are not careful, children can easily get lost.

Looking at the crying and helpless child, Zeng Yi smiled tenderly, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and comforted her: "Stop crying, can my brother take you to find your mother?"

"Hmm~"

The little girl's thoughts are very simple and she has no complicated psychology. She is helpless and faced with a gentle and kind elder brother, she accepts his help without any scruples.

Seeing that the little girl agreed, Zeng Yi took her little hand and led her around.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xixi"

"Xixi, what a lovely name. So Xixi, do you remember that you and your mother went to that place?"

Zeng Yi asked the little girl, hoping to get some useful information. The venue was very large, so it was difficult to find someone.

And the mother of this little girl will definitely be very anxious when she finds out that her girl is missing. If she wants to find her girl, it is very likely that she will have to search all the places she has been before. This way, the probability will be higher.

many.

"Yeah, I know."

"Xixi is so smart, brother will take you there right now."

Zeng Yi learned about the places she had been to from the little girl's mouth. There were some places she didn't know where they were, but she remembered what she had played and what was around her.

This afternoon, Zeng Yi was also bored and visited all the places at the festival, so he was able to guess the specific location based on the information from the little girl's mouth.

Halfway through, the little girl couldn't help but stop and stand in front of a shop selling cotton candy, looking at the various colors of cotton candy on display.

Seeing this, Zeng Yi smiled helplessly, "Do you want it?"

"Yeah." She nodded diligently.

"Boss, help me get this." Zeng Yi casually picked up the biggest and best-looking marshmallow and bought it for the little girl.

After getting the marshmallow, the little girl's face was filled with joy. She looked at the marshmallow in her hand and jumped every step of the way.

Then, Zeng Yi continued to take her to find her mother.

"Xi Xi! My baby girl!"

It didn't take long for Zeng Yi to see a woman in front of him, shouting and crying, running towards him.

"It's mom! Mom!"

The little girl recognized the person who was her mother and shouted happily.

Zeng Yi let go of her little hand, and the girl rushed over. The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly. The girl was smiling happily, but her mother blamed herself and cried with joy.

Seeing the scene of mother and daughter embracing each other, Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh and felt warm in his heart.

"Brother, give it to you."

After the mother thanked Zeng Yi and took the girl away, the little girl named Xixi gave him the bouquet of locust flowers in her hand.

"Thank you Xixi." Zeng Yi looked at the bouquet of locust flowers in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then accepted it with a smile.

"May the spring spirit bless you!"

When the mother left, she said this to Zeng Yi.

Watching their mother and daughter leave, Zeng Yi lowered his head and glanced at the locust flower in his hand, couldn't help but smile, and turned to leave.

It's time for you to go.

As the sun was about to set, the flow of people on the festival streets began to become crowded, and everyone gathered in the direction of this ancient locust tree.

What on earth is going on?

Seeing people's reactions, Zeng Yi was very confused, but he didn't plan to ask. He had already decided to leave, so he would leave quietly.

Zeng Yi was walking backwards in the crowded crowd. Suddenly, he felt that he had knocked down someone.

Look, an old man fell to the ground.

"Old man, are you okay?" Seeing this, Zeng Yi quickly went over and helped the old man up.

This is an old man with a stooped body and short stature, wearing clothing similar to that of an ascetic. He wears a bamboo hat and has an old face, as if he will wither at any moment.

"No problem."

The old man did not blame Zeng Yi. Instead, he neatly put the things dumped on the ground into wooden boxes and carried them behind his back.

"Sorry, old man."

At this time, the old man raised his head, looked at Zeng Yi, and said, "Don't you go pray for the soul?"

"Prayer?" Zeng Yi looked at the old man doubtfully.

"Praying to the spirits is a very important part of the spring festival. Everyone prays to the spring spirits, hoping that in the new year, they will be safe and smooth, and avoid disasters!"

"Pray for peace, good luck, and avoid disasters?"

So that's it. No wonder everyone is rushing towards the sacrificial altar.

"Your Excellency, aren't you going?"

Hearing this, Zeng Yi looked at the huge locust tree over there, and couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his lips.

"Pray for spirits? I am a disaster myself, why should I pray for spirits?"

Seeing Zeng Yi laughing at himself, the old man couldn't help but smile, as if he understood the deeper meaning of his words.

"Why should you belittle yourself? As long as your heart is strong enough, you can survive even great sufferings. The same goes for the devil in your heart."

The devil in your heart!

The old man's words made Zeng Yi's eyes shrink, and he stared at his stooped and short body with wide eyes.

"Who are you?"

Zeng Yi took a step back, distanced himself from the old man, and stared at him warily.

This man guessed what he said and seemed to know what was going on with his body.

Zeng Yi did not think that the old man said this unintentionally.

"Haha, he's just a mountain villager."

The old man looked at Zeng Yi who was wary of him and couldn't help but smile. This smile was very meaningful.

"You know my secret?"

"Maybe."

The old man said, put on the bamboo hat, turned around and left.

He didn't take a few steps before he paused and said, "Old Chan's mountain gate is nearby. Regarding your physical condition and your origins, I might be able to shed some light on your doubts."

"Stay or go as you like."

The old man said this last sentence to Zeng Yi and left against the crowd without looking back.

Zeng Yi stood there, looking at the old man's retreating figure, struggling and hesitating flashing in his eyes.

Finally, Zeng Yi firmed up his expression and followed the old man in the direction he left.
