Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Opening Ceremony
The next day, just after dawn, the lights had always been bright, and the bustling capital of the country with singing and dancing had not yet quieted down, but it continued to be noisy.
Because today is the biggest event in the history of the Tang Kingdom, the spiritual courtyard is open, and hundreds of schools of thought are contending.
This grand event even surpassed the enthronement ceremony of the founding lord of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Mo and the three of them got up early and had breakfast.
Glancing back at the Tianbao silver ticket left on the table, Li Mo silently closed the door.
At this time, Wu Mei, Chen Bo, and Xiaohu were also waiting in the courtyard.
"Uncle Chen. ”
The three of them greeted Uncle Chen.
"Well, today the four of you will go to the hospital test together, and the old man and Xiaohu will not go. ”
Uncle Chen twisted his short beard, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, Uncle Chen, thank you for taking care of me these days, when you enter the spiritual courtyard, the kid will bring a few jars of good wine and come back to visit Uncle Chen often. ”
Li Mo sincerely thanked Uncle Chen, this old man made the three of them physically stronger and more powerful, not to mention, and gave them the Gathering Spirit Pill.
Li Mo will repay this kindness with all his strength when he has achieved something.
Li Mo thought to himself.
"Hahaha, okay, I remember that you promised the old man to help my young lady in the spiritual courtyard. ”
Chen Bo laughed heartily and told Li Mo again.
"The boy didn't dare to forget. ”
Li Mo arched his hand.
"Okay, with your words, the old man will be relieved. ”
Uncle Chen turned his head to look at Wu Mei, Wu Mei nodded at Uncle Chen, touched Xiaohu's head, and then took out a silk scarf and put it on her face, completely covering her alluring face.
The four of them came out of the courtyard, only to see that this originally very secluded place had begun to be crowded at this time, and a stream of people rushed towards the area of the spiritual courtyard of Chang'an City, the famous "Earthquake Drum Tower".
A trace of shock flashed across Li Mo's faces.
They knew that this grand event was unprecedentedly huge, but they didn't expect that even these ordinary people would be so enthusiastic and compete to be onlookers.
There are hundreds of thousands of young participants, and if you add the people of Chang'an City, this grand event will completely change into a different scene.
Li Mo and the four of them had no choice but to slowly rush towards the Earthquake Drum Tower with the flow of people.
I don't know how many bumps, I obviously went out at dawn, but when I arrived at the Earthquake Drum Tower, I saw that the sun was slowly climbing up.
It took more than an hour.
The journey, which originally only took half an hour, took several times more time.
A huge attic stands atop an empty high platform.
The attic is divided into three floors, built in the shape of a folding fan, two huge blue and white stone pillars that need to be hugged by three or five strong men to support the door gate of the attic, and the door frame of the top mahogany is stuck between the two stone pillars, and a huge mahogany staircase leads to the second floor.
The second floor is much wider than the first floor, and there are dozens of mahogany round chairs on it, while the third floor is even wider, but there are many fewer round chairs above.
In front of the attic is a blue and white stone platform about one person high, the platform is round, and the diameter is more than dozens of zhang.
In the center of the stone platform is a huge stone drum, on which a stone dragon is carved on the drum surface, the dragon's head looks up at the sky, and the dragon's tail is straight and struck the earth.
Auspicious clouds surround the stone dragon, making the stone dragon much more sacred.
The stone drum is erected by a huge stone pier, as if waiting for someone who can make it roar.
Around the stone platform are dozens of long tables made of mahogany, behind which a flag is flying.
Dozens of flags fluttered in the wind together, like dozens of layers of waves constantly surging.
Different big characters on the flag jumped on it, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, domineering and awe-inspiring.
"Douxian Lingyuan, Jiajin Lingyuan, Yimu Lingyuan ......"
About three feet away from the long table, a red satin line became a clear dividing line.
And behind the red satin, there are dense heads of people moving.
The boys and girls were all excitedly waiting to participate in the spiritual academy examination they had chosen.
The huge number of hundreds of thousands of people almost completely occupied the huge open area in front of the Drum Tower, not only that, but also the ordinary people, merchants and hawkers, and the rangers came to watch this prosperous era.
However, there is a vacuum between the onlookers and those who participate in the examination, because there are 100,000 forbidden army armor soldiers holding Changge, wearing heavy armor, and looking at these people of the three religions and nine streams with fierce eyes.
In case of a riot caused by the flow of people.
Suddenly, a figure stepped on the auspicious clouds and silently stayed in the air dozens of feet away from the stone platform.
"Quiet!"
A loud shout, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, clearly vibrated everyone's eardrums.
The noisy scene at the scene instantly quieted down, and the needle drop could be heard.
I saw that the figure was wearing golden heavy armor, wearing a golden heavy helmet, shining, and his appearance was mighty, and his sturdy body completely supported the heavy armor, and it was majestic and abnormal, like a god descending from heaven.
"I am Leng Tu, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and today I am in charge of the court examination of dozens of spirit academies, and those who dare to make trouble will be killed. ”
After speaking, a dazzling golden light shot out from Leng Tu's body, and gusts of wind suddenly rose, crackling the flying courtyard flag.
The huge spiritual power swept towards everyone, making them feel like they couldn't breathe well.
Some people are even directly oppressed and almost sit on the ground.
The coercion disappeared suddenly, and Leng Tu's indifferent eyes looked down on mortals like a god.
One of the gods is angry, and mortals cannot bear it.
"Wow, this is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and it is rumored that he is already the strength of the peak of the Spirit Venerable. ”
"That's right, what's even more terrifying is that this person is like a murderer, he once slaughtered several cities by himself, and he has a nickname called Tu Million. ”
"Such a terrible ......"
......
For a while, both boys and girls, as well as onlookers watching the excitement, all whispered.
Leng Tu, a sixty-nine-level golden spirit venerable, slaughtered millions of people in the enemy country by one person, and because of him, the lord of the enemy country was forced to surrender.
"Greetings to the ...... of the Lord"
However, before everyone could recover from the shock just now, Leng Tu's mouth once again burst out with even more shocking news.
The lord of the country came in person, and the true dragon came into the world.
The loud shouts spread far and wide through the blessing of Leng Tu's spiritual power, as if they could be heard in the huge Chang'an City.
Suddenly, in the direction of the National Palace, dozens of streamers rose from the ground, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the sky above the Earthquake Drum Tower.
I saw a huge dragon pulled by eight frogs with a strong man's waist, and the huge fire feather finch canopy was red and wanted to envelop the drum attic.
Four huge lanterns hung around the dragon, and the inside of the dragon bowl was covered with a huge golden-eyed white tiger skin, and a round jade chair made of chicken blood jade was fixed in the center of the dragon
A middle-aged man with an imposing presence and majestic eyes looked down on his people.
He is Tang Mingyuan, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Tang Kingdom.
Dressed in a golden nine-clawed golden dragon robe, wearing a nine-bead crown, a huge jade wrench is circled on the thumb of the right hand, and the green light flows through it when the wrench is slightly rotated by the left hand, like rippling water waves.
After the dragon was chased, dozens of men and women in different costumes and with different looks stood in the air at the same time.
"Long live our Lord, long live, long live. ”
I don't know who shouted excitedly first, and immediately knelt down with his legs and bowed three times and nine times after shouting.
"Long live our lord, long live, long live"
"Long live our lord, long live, long live"
......
For a while, the sound tide rose and fell like the waves of the sea.
Stirring.
Countless people knelt together and performed the courtesy of the king.
Li Mo and the four of them also knelt on the ground and saluted, but there was a cold glint in the dancing eyes, and the jade hand clutched the sword tightly.
It just so happened that Li Mo took all this in his eyes, and his brows furrowed.
"Everyone, the widow is here today, just to observe the college examination of the younger generation of my Tang Kingdom, the etiquette is simple, I hope that all the young heroes will go all out, and those who excel in the college examination will have their own rewards. ”
The lord of the country, Tang Mingyuan, waved his hand, and before he finished speaking, he didn't see how he moved, his figure had already sat down on the round chair in the center of the third floor of the Earthquake Drum Tower, and his dragon bowl had disappeared.
Then, more than a dozen streamers sat down around the lord of the country and guarded him in the middle.
The rest of the dozens of streamers are located in the attic on the second floor.
However, at this time, the audience exploded.
"My lord's personal seal, oh my God......"
"What could it be?
"This is unprecedented, the lord of the country is actually here......"
......
Whispers rang out under the stone platform.
"Quiet. ”
A huge roar sounded again, making the noisy scene instantly silent, and everyone in the audience knew that the hospital exam was about to begin.
"Today's hospital test, there are three conditions, one, not more than sixteen, two, the physical body enters the innate realm, three, beat the stone drum, each person can hit three times, if there is a fish in troubled waters, there is no forgiveness......"
Leng Tu's voice came out coldly.
At the moment when his voice sounded, the 100,000 forbidden troops who were separated between the onlookers and those participating in the academy examination retracted Changge at the same time and stomped on the ground with their handles.
"Kill, kill, kill"
Changge's stomping on the ground and the roar from the mouth of the forbidden army formed a powerful wave, and the monstrous momentum made everyone's hearts tighten.
"The hospital test begins. ”
Leng Tu roared.
Before the words fell, I saw that the first boy had already jumped on the stone platform and walked towards the stone drum, without saying a word, he directly punched out, and the fist force touched the stone drum, but not to mention the sound, not even the dust of the stone drum did not fall in the slightest.
Two punches in a row blasted out again, and the stone drum still didn't move.
"Impossible, this is impossible, I have a physical strength of more than 2,000 catties......"
The boy yelled.
"Get down. ”
Leng Turen was in the air, with a wave of his big hand, the young man was smashed directly from the stone platform and flew up, blood spurted wildly from his mouth, and fell miserably under the stone platform.
"Continue ......"
Leng Tu looked at everyone in the audience with cold eyes.
It was as if these people were hard to get into his eyes.
Even dozens of people went up and failed to bang the stone drum, as if a layer of clouds had been cast over the heads of these hundreds of thousands of young boys and girls.
"Go on. ”
Leng Tu said coldly.
"I'll try"
A voice sounded, and everyone followed the prestige, dressed in white, with handsome faces and extraordinary looks.
He is the third son of Chang'an City Shou, Ning Yu.
Ning Yu jumped onto the stone platform and punched out at the stone drum, and the physical strength of more than 4,000 catties seemed to be slightly refined at this time.
"Boom"
The stone drum was thundered by this punch, like a real war drum roaring.
After the sound, the aftermath seemed to flutter again, but it was far from the second sound.
"Four thousand eight hundred catties, qualified, you can report your name and the spiritual institute you want to join. ”
Leng Tu glanced at Ning Yu approvingly, this was the first person to qualify.
"Ning Yu, Dou Xian Ling Academy. ”
Ning Yu said loudly.
"Wow, if you're qualified, you'll still enter the Dou Immortal Academy. ”
"That's right, that's the First Spiritual Courtyard of the Tang Kingdom. ”
"That's amazing......"
......
Countless people under the stone platform began to sound envious, and this voice made Ning Yu's heart feel extremely satisfied.
"Hmph, wait, wait until I enter the Douxian Spirit Academy, my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and when the time comes, that bastard who laughs at me, I want you to die......"
Ning Yu roared in his heart.
Ning Yu jumped off the stone platform, grabbed a pen and paper on the long table in the Douxian Ling Courtyard, and took the lead in leaving his name on a long bamboo slip.
The corners of his mouth are upturned, showing that he is in an extremely happy mood at this time.
