Seven character cards for opening rewards

Chapter 272 New Years
Wake up early in the morning.

Ning Lang was surprised to find that his progress in one night of practice was faster than your progress in the previous three nights of practice. You must know that he only watched a third of this Haoran's all-in-one showdown. It may double again soon.

This only saves one year. With this awe-inspiring decisiveness, Ning Lang is even sure to break through to the peak of the Heavenly Punishment Realm within half a year. Saved a lot of trouble.

Getting up from the Wannian ice bed, seeing the little lotus figure still lying on it to sleep, Ning Lang didn't wake him up, and Xiao Hong took the initiative to return to the water tank when Ning Lang just returned to Miao Miao Peak, apparently already Treat the water tank as your own home.

Ning Lang pushed open the door, and a gust of cold wind came towards him.

It's finally winter.

Ning Lang rubbed his hands together, called Gan Tang who was practicing on the edge of the cliff, took out "Xuanji Heart Method" from his bosom, handed it to her and said, "Take this heart method back and have a look, it should be suitable for you. .”

Gan Tang reached out to take it, and hummed with a smile.

Ning Lang saw sweat dripping from her forehead, so he wiped it off for her. Ning Lang just did it casually, but in Gan Tang's heart, this gesture seemed extremely intimate. Shy.

After Ning Lang noticed Gantang's strangeness, he hurriedly said, "Let's come here today, wipe off your sweat, and go to rest."

"it is good."

Ning Lang went out to breathe a sigh of relief, chatted with a few apprentices for a while, and then went back to the room to read the book Hao Ran. After more than a month, Ning Lang would only go out in the early morning for a while, and most of the other The time is spent practicing in the house.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and if you are not careful, it will be the end of the year again.

……

……

Hu Lie Dynasty, North.

Jiang Chen walked in a field of ice and snow, with a sword and sheepskin on his body, and a thick layer of snow on his head and hair.

He didn't know that he had been walking on this ice field for a few days, but he saw that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and he guessed that it should be the Chinese New Year.

When the sky was approaching evening, a strong wind blew up on the snowfield, and it seemed that there was going to be another heavy snowfall soon, when he finally saw a tent standing in the snow not far away.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then walked over.

"Is anyone there?" he called out.

After a while, the door of the tent was pushed open, and an old woman with wrinkled face welcomed him in.

Jiang Chen said with some shame: "Ma'am, it's about to snow heavily, can I take shelter from the wind and snow with you?"

The old woman spoke with more than just an accent, Jiang Chen listened for a long time before he understood.

"It's such a cold day, why did you come up the snow field?"

Jiang Chen was about to reply.

The curtain on the side was lifted, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl saw Jiang Chen, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, who is he?"

The old woman explained a few words to the young girl, but the latter looked at Jiang Chen warily.

Jiang Chen took off the sheepskin on his body, exposed his whole face, and said with his trademark simple and honest smile: "When the heavy snow stops, I will leave and I won't disturb you."

For some reason, seeing the smile on Jiang Chen's face, the girl immediately let go of her guard.

"Don't say such things, young master, please sit down."

Holding hands by the old woman, Jiang Chen sat down by the fire, and asked Jiang Chen many questions with her pure local accent, but Jiang Chen didn't understand a word.

Seeing this, the girl next to her translated, "My grandma asked where you are from, and what are you doing on the snowfield?"

"Oh, I'm from the Dayu Dynasty, and I want to visit the northernmost part of this continent."

Hearing that Jiang Chen came from the Dayu Dynasty, the girl's face was also full of curiosity. Although the old woman could not speak the official language, she could understand it, so just after Jiang Chen finished speaking, the old woman said: "The Dayu Dynasty is from the Dayu Dynasty. This place is thousands of miles away, and you came here alone?"

After the girl finished translating.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am alone."

This time, it was the girl who asked first: "Then you have been to many places along the way, right?"

"Well, I've been to the East China Sea in the east, Penglai in the South China Sea in the south, and the Monster Slayer Great Wall in the west. The only difference is that I haven't been to the north."

The girl asked expectantly, "What does the sea look like?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "It's just an endless sea, the end of the sea seems to be connected with the end of the sky."

The girl's face was full of longing. She grew up on this snowy field since she was a child, and she has never seen such a sea.

But now the old woman said: "Xiao Wei, go and pour a cup of tea for this young man."

The girl hummed and got up to go.

After a while, a bowl of tea came over, Jiang Chen took it and said thank you, then reached out to take the tea bowl.

This tea is not ordinary tea, but tea brewed with pure goat milk, so it is more appropriate to call it milk tea.

Jiang Chen warmed his hands and asked, "Ma'am, isn't it almost Chinese New Year now?"

"Yes, tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Jiang Chen felt lost after hearing this.

Master, younger brothers and younger sisters, they have finished shopping for the new year, right?

I don't know how many people are there on Miao Miao Peak?
How tall has the little junior sister grown?

It's been a long time since I have eaten the dishes made by Miss Xiaohua.

I miss you so much...

"My son, my son?"

"Huh?" Jiang Chen raised his head and said, "Auntie, are you calling me?"

"If you don't mind, let's spend a new year together tomorrow. There are more people and it will be more lively."

"No ma'am, I want to hurry up and go home early."

Jiang Chen never dared to trouble others.

"Ah." The old woman sighed, her brows were full of sympathy.

Jiang Chen slept by the fire for a night, and got up early the next morning to leave the tent.

The old woman got up early, saw that Jiang Chen had disappeared, sighed, and began to sweep up the dust on the ground with a broom, and finally swept to the place where Jiang Chen slept last night, and found a shiny stone lying on the ground, the old woman The person quickly shouted: "Xiaowei, Xiaowei."

The girl thought that something happened, so she hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

"Xiaowei, what do you think this is?"

The girl picked it up and looked at it, her eyes widened and she said, "Grandma, this seems to be a spirit stone."

"Spirit stone?"

"Well, one spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver."

"What! That young master couldn't be the one who left it here. Hurry up, go out and see if that young master has gone far."

Xiao Wei shook her head and said, "Grandma, he probably left this on purpose."

"deliberately?"

The old woman reacted and sighed again.

……

On New Year's Eve.

Dayu Dynasty, the imperial palace in the capital.

After Jiang Keran finished the so-called palace banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation silently.

Eunuch Li, who was in charge of taking care of Jiang Keran's daily life, saw that Jiang Keran didn't eat anything in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but only drank a few sips of wine, and quickly ordered the imperial dining room to make some meals and brought them over.

"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve, you can eat as much as you want."

Jiang Keran was unmoved.

Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the body of the dragon is important."

Jiang Keran was very helpless. Ever since he became the emperor, he has been strictly controlled in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as he breaks the rules a little bit, the people around him will bite each other. However, Jiang Keran can't find any excuses to refute. It can only be passively accepted as it is now.

Jiang Keran sat down at the dining table. He looked at the seven or eight pleasing dishes in front of him, but he still had no appetite at all.

He suddenly remembered the few New Year's Eve nights he had spent on Miaomiao Peak.

I remembered the dumplings made by Sister Xiaohua herself, I remembered the Spring Festival couplets handwritten by my master, and I remembered the harmony between my brothers and sisters who saw each other's New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year...

Jiang Keran was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "Go and ask the imperial dining room to make me a plate of dumplings. I want stuffed vegetables, more vegetables and less meat."

"This……"

"Go quickly."

"The slave obeys the order."

After half an hour, the maid brought a plate of dumplings. Jiang Keran picked up the chopsticks and put one in his mouth. After chewing a couple of times, tears filled his eyes.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li quickly knelt down and asked in a panic, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. You order me down. Tomorrow, the first day of the Chinese New Year, I'll eat this in the morning too."

"Whoo."

Jiang Keran laughed and cried, "Eunuch Li, do you know what is the meaning of eating dumplings on New Year's Day?"

"This...slave entered the palace at a young age and doesn't know anything outside the palace."

"My master said that eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year symbolizes festive reunion and good luck."

It turned out that His Majesty missed Master.

Eunuch Li watched Jiang Keran eating and crying, so he silently got up and asked the maids and eunuchs to wait outside, and he followed him out.

Jiang Keran ate the entire plate of dumplings, and finally raised his wine glass, facing the southwest, and muttered: "Master, Happy New Year."

……

Zhengyang Palace.

Ye Han walked all the way to the guest courtyard. After knocking on the door and entering the room, he saw Li Huaijin still sitting on the bed practicing. He smiled and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, Zhengyang City is full of excitement, so you don't plan to go out?"

Li Huaijin replied aloud: "The excitement is theirs, what does it have to do with me?"

"The seven low-level disciples of Zhengyang Palace have all been challenged. What's your next move?"

"Go to Qingyang Gate."

"Do you really want to challenge one fairy gate after another?"

"Yes."

Ye Han asked, "Is this an order from Senior Ning, or is it your own idea?"

"All."

Ye Han shook his head and smiled, "I knew it."

"By the way, can you do something for me, please?"

"You said."

"I want to eat a plate of dumplings tomorrow morning."

Ye Han raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it?"

"Ah."

"I see. I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you."

……

On Miao Miao Peak.

The master and apprentice sat together and ate the New Year's Eve dinner very lively.

Ning Lang didn't eat much by himself and was helping Gu Xiyao pick up vegetables all the time. Seeing that Gan Tang, Song Zhifei and Lin Qiu had all put down their chopsticks, Ning Lang smiled and said, "Today's Chinese New Year, you are allowed to drink a little wine."

After saying that, Ning Lang got up, untied the gourd of raising swords and poured wine for several people.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyao hurriedly said, "Master, I want to drink too."

"You can't drink."

"why?"

"Because you were a child."

"It's not fair."

"It's fair, right? Then you take out all the candies that Master bought for you and distribute them to the brothers and sisters. That's fair."

"I don't!" Gu Xiyao said firmly with her arms folded in her arms.

Seeing this scene, the few people sitting next to him burst out laughing.

"Master, Happy New Year."

"Master, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, benefactor."

Under the leadership of Lin Qiu, a group of people raised their wine glasses in front of them.

The corner of Ning Lang's mouth rose, he raised his glass and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
