Chapter 317: What Fire Is This?
At dawn the next day, Jiang Changan tidied up his clothes and face, and did not wake up Situ Yuning, who was still asleep, and quietly walked out of the bamboo house.
The place where the alchemy conference was held was not far from the bamboo house, and after walking out of the bamboo forest for half an hour, I saw a palace, which was no different from the ordinary palace of the imperial palace, with red walls of golden tiles, three-storey pavilions were erected on all sides, and rows of guards were strictly guarded.
Most of the guards in the attic, except for some officials, are the same as the clothes of the unified school that Xiao Pingkuo wore yesterday.
Today, Jiang Changan deliberately changed back to his favorite white robe, and the morning glow rose in the sky, and the faint pink shone on the white clothes, making it even more handsome.
The gongs and drums sounded, and it was thought that it would not be long before the alchemy conference would begin.
There are several familiar faces sitting on the third floor above the pavilion facing east, the Nine Emperor Prince Xia Ji is sitting in the middle, on the right hand side is Mu Huaqing, who is dressed in purple, and the person on the left hand side is sitting in a wheelchair with a sick and weak body, a smiling face that is always squinting and smiling, it is Jiang Xiaoru who Jiang Changan is very familiar with.
There is also a pear blossom wooden chair on Jiang Xiaoru's left, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that it is a place reserved for him, the fake "Prince Jue".
Sitting on the other pavilion was Princess Jingling Xia Leling, looking at the audience intently, waiting for someone with an impatient expression, until the moment she saw Jiang Changan, her frowning brows were spread.
There is no doubt that the middle of the meeting is different from the ordinary martial arts field, but the difference is that at this time, a hundred stone platforms are placed, which are neatly arranged in ten vertical and horizontal directions.
Seeing that Prince Jue was standing downstairs for a long time and didn't come up, Xia Ji smiled and said, "Since His Royal Highness Prince Jue is here, why don't you come up and enjoy the conference." ”
Jiang Changan smiled, and everyone was shocked-
"Your Highness wants to participate in the competition!"
......
When Situ Yuning woke up, it was already dawn, and then he realized that Jiang Changan had long been absent from his side.
"Dengzi!"
Situ Yuning said in a panic, put on the maid's clothes, hastily combed her hair bun, and hurriedly rushed out of the bamboo house to the palace where the conference was located.
When Situ Yuning came to the gate of the palace, she realized that the conference had begun, and the palace gate was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
When he was anxious, he saw the palace door suddenly open, and a maid walked out of it, and said, "The girl has come to see His Royal Highness the Prince Jue?"
"You are ......," Situ Yuning said cautiously.
The maid said: "Don't misunderstand, girl, it's just that my young lady saw the girl wandering anxiously outside the door upstairs, so she asked the maid to come and invite the girl into the pavilion." ”
"See it upstairs?" Situ Yuning looked up at several pavilions in the palace, and saw a haggard girl standing on top of one of the three-story pavilions, like a wind lotus in the wind, weak and delicate.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Jingling?"
The maid said, "The girl saw my young lady yesterday." ”
Situ Yuning didn't say much, and followed the maid into the pavilion, and on the huge viewing platform, there was only that woman standing, which was enough to make other women ashamed of themselves.
Situ Yu straightened up, and a momentum rose on his body, showing no weakness.
What she cares about most at the moment is not this woman, but the person who can't wait to take a look at the central martial arts arena.
Situ Yuning hurriedly walked to the viewing platform, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and saw Jiang Changan for the first time, Jiang Chang'an was standing in front of the ten vertical and horizontal roads at this moment, a newly built jade platform.
In front of the jade platform, there is a Ding furnace, in which a pillar of optimus incense is lit.
There are three competitions in the alchemy conference, the first competition is a random Dandou, all the people take a stick of incense for the time limit, each take out three kinds of medicinal materials from the medicine storage table, refine the best and best pills, and hand them over to ten palace Dan masters for evaluation, and the first ten people enter the next round of competition.
The moment the golden gong struck, all the participants rushed in, thinking that they could grab one or two high-quality medicinal herbs, and the elixir they had practiced would be able to reach an additional level. When everyone was perched, Jiang Changan was like a person who stayed out of the matter, closing his eyes and concentrating, there was no Ding furnace and no medicinal materials on the jade platform, which attracted people's attention.
The corners of Situ Yuning's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled calmly and warmly, he was always so different and maverick.
At this moment, most of the incense has been burned, everyone is busy to the middle of the journey, hundreds of people put out the furnace and set fire to the alchemy, the scene can be described as spectacular, if ordinary people will not stop sighing.
But both women stared at the same person.
A few maids only felt uncomfortable, and the attic seemed to be filled with an inexplicable atmosphere, which should have been an extremely comfortable scene, but it had the bloody meaning of battlefield killing. A few subordinates are not standing, nor are they walking, and cold sweat flows.
Finally, this silent game ended with Xia Leling speaking first: "You all go down." ”
"Yes!"
As if pardoned, several maids hurried out of the attic.
In comparison, the attic facing due east is much more lively.
Xia Ji looked at the lively appearance and looked at this foolish Prince Jue with a sneer, and said with a smile: "Prince Jue is really not a mortal, he actually participated in the alchemy conference in person, I am afraid that if I lose, I can't hold the color on my face!"
Mu Huaqing then sneered: "I heard that Prince Jue was almost assassinated on the way to the palace this time, I think he was cured of his injuries, but he hurt his brain, hahaha......"
Xia Ji laughed, Mu Huaqing laughed together, Xia Ji didn't laugh, and Mu Huaqing's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Brother Jiang, I don't know what you think about this?" Xia Ji asked.
The sick and frail body in the wheelchair half-closed his eyes, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Gong has already made arrangements for everything, just waiting to win or lose, Lord Mumen, what do you say? As the person who organized it, you should be the most familiar, I heard that this conference was just a formality in previous years? In fact, the pill is evaluated according to its appearance? After living for so long, I have never seen anything about evaluating the Danshu by its appearance, it is really novel......
"Well...... this"
Mu Huaqing was stammered, since he learned that Jiang Xiaoru also participated in this alchemy conference, his expression was cramped and uneasy.
It's not just because Jiang Xiaoru is now the master of the Jiangzhou Heavenly Master's Mansion, it's not that he exudes an awe-inspiring majesty, but that face.
The face he saw as early as five years ago when thousands of people gathered in front of the Jiang family, but at that time he saw Jiang Lingfeng who was exactly the same as Jiang Xiaorusheng.
Although the two of them were separated by Xia Ji, Mu Huaqing didn't dare to look at him, who knew that he asked directly, his heart sank, and he glanced at Xia Ji, and after the latter nodded, he said with confidence: "I don't dare to hide it, what Jiang Tianshi said is very true, if this is placed in previous years, this first winner will naturally be predetermined, but it is not because of his appearance." ”
The righteousness that Mu Huaqing said Ling Ran seemed to have suffered a deep misunderstanding, and said: "It was decided because of money, but these young masters who gave money were a little handsome, so they had the saying that they calmed down the Danshu with their appearance, which is a deep misunderstanding for us......"
Jiang Xiaoru smiled softly, and said with deep meaning: "It's really a misunderstanding." ”
Mu Huaqing said: "But this year is different, since the prince Jue is involved, if you let those shitty sons go to the son again, wouldn't you give up the winner's position?" Just a moment ago, this seat ...... Ten talented disciples have been placed in these hundred, and Xia Zhouguo will never lose this conference!"
Xia Ji smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then it all depends on the Mumen Master, if it is really as the Mumen Master said, if you win this competition, all the credit will go to the Alchemy Sect of Lingxiao Palace." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mu Huaqing had a chill in the back of his head, how could he not understand the meaning of His Royal Highness King Gong's words, on the surface, it was a reward to listen to it, but if he lost, he would find out that all the blame would belong to Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing that there was less than an inch of incense left on the stove on the field, many people had already entered the final step of sealing the furnace, but Jiang Changan still did not move.
The people watching from the side were also strange, and they all unconsciously focused their eyes on him.
"Prince Jue is really calm, I don't know what kind of fame he is doing!" The more this is the case, the more uneasy Xia Ji's heart becomes.
Mu Huaqing took the opportunity to flatter and said: "Looking down, this Jue prince is mostly in vain, but in fact, he is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and no matter how much he says on his lips, it is really dwarfed when he is connected." ”
But at this moment, Jiang Changan moved.
Whether it's up or down the attic, everyone's eyes follow him!
Jiang Changan didn't set up the furnace, snapped his fingers, and saw a wisp of purple-red flame ignited on his fingertips, in which the black wind was surging and the electricity was shining.
Laugh at!
The air within a half-zhang radius became hot, and the moisture was instantly evaporated.
Boom –
This fire not only ignited the air, but even the spectators let out a sigh of amazement!
"What kind of fire is this?!"
