851, Tianmu Xuanjing
Lingyu sat on the high platform and watched the wrestling competition that was going on below.
Two brave and strong men, like two fighting bulls, circled each other, their eyes vigilant, their muscles tense, ready to attack at any time.
One of the strong men was the first to notice the omission and pounced bravely.
Another strong man took a blow, but took advantage of the momentum to twist, not only got rid of his opponent, but also took the opportunity to kick it.
Two strong men come and go, this wrestling fight, full of strength and the beauty of skill.
After some stalemate, the winner was finally decided, and the martial artist shouted the name of the victor.
Lingyu clapped her hands and praised: "Good! ”
It was just a word, but the strong man who won was overjoyed, bowing to the ground and excited.
Annan, who was wearing a mask on a formal occasion, stepped forward, put the scepter on the shoulder of the strong man, and said something, and the strong man only responded and retreated.
The martial artist reported his name again, and another pair of strong men walked into the middle of the arena and began to wrestle.
Annan stepped back and stood in front of Lingyu.
Lingyu leaned back in the chair, took a bite of the grape that the maid handed to her lips, and spit out the grape skin into the other maid's hand.
After eating the grapes, the maid brought tea and brought it to her.
"This is the warrior of our Gen country?" She asked in a lazy tone.
"Yes!" Annan said in a proud tone, "The warriors of our Gen Kingdom are the most courageous among the eight countries. ”
Lingyu shook her head and drank tea.
Seeing that she was not very satisfied, Annan asked carefully: "The emperor thinks it is not good?" ”
Lingyu put the teacup in the maid's hand and said casually: "It's very brave." But not the bravest. Not necessarily. ”
Been here for a few days. She gradually figured out what the world was all about.
Her current identity is Emperor Danxiao, and her deity is a monk who came here 10,000 years ago. Under her transformation, the kingdom of Gen broke away from the life of drinking blood and became a country of peace and contentment.
The priests have the power to communicate with nature, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, and the head of the priesthood, the high priest, is the head of the kingdom. Warriors have strong physiques. They guard the country and protect the people.
And she, the emperor, is the faith of the people and the master of this country.
This is a very crude form of state, but it is precisely because of its roughness and simplicity that there is not much dispute between right and wrong.
In addition to Gen, there are other countries in this world.
Qian, Kun, Xun, Gen, Zhen, Dui, Li, Kan.
Bagua directions, eight countries.
Other countries have different forms, but they are generally similar.
The center of the G-8. There was a place called the canopy, and it was pitch black. There is only night, no day. A little starlight sprinkled among them, it was a peculiar spar, called the Sky Curtain Crystal.
Tianmu Xuanjing is the source of this world's energy, and every ten years, the eight countries compete in the Tianmu to compete for Tianmu Xuanjing.
Only by obtaining the Heavenly Curtain Crystal and replenishing the energy can the country they live in be full of rain and prosperous vegetation.
When Lingyu heard that there were eight countries, and that they needed Heavenly Curtain Xuanjing to replenish their energy, she probably understood what she was encountering.
The Heavenly Curtain Xuanjing represents the laws of heaven and earth, and the eight countries are the eight trigrams.
This world should be an independent space, and the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete. The canopy is a key place, and it is likely that the passage to exit is also there.
The law of heaven and earth appears there, and the canopy of heaven is also the beginning of heaven and earth.
However, she has no cultivation now, and she definitely can't break into the canopy by herself.
Eight countries, there should be someone who has the same experience as her.
In this case, how can she reach the canopy and break out of the sky?
Lingyu pondered the question as she spoke to Annan.
"Do you know what happens in other countries?"
"What does the emperor mean?"
"Do you know whether their country is strong or not, how their life is, and how their lord is?"
Annan replied, "Your Majesty probably knows. ”
"Oh?" Lingyu glanced over, "Let's hear it." ”
Annan gushed out: "Our Gen Kingdom is located in the northeast of the Heavenly Canopy, next to the East of the Heavenly Canopy and the North Kan Country of the Heavenly Canopy. The earthquake country is a country of grass and trees, with a large forest, and their lord is called Jiang Li Shenjun......"
Lingyu listened silently. In the east of the earthquake country, that Jiang Li Divine Monarch has a wonderful talent for making plants and trees grow. The lord of the Kan country in the north, known as the King of the Wheel, is said to be able to live and die with human flesh and bones. The Northwest Qianguo, its monarch Ziying Tianjun, has a strong military force. In the west, the Buddha is a Buddha country. Southwest Kun Kingdom, the lord of the country is the Heavenly Monarch, where it was originally a land of ice and snow. The south is far from the country, the plains are vast, and there are many birds and beasts. The southeast Xun country, the lord of the country, Dong Xuan Zhenjun......
The names of these people sound familiar.
Lingyu pondered, Emperor Danxiao appeared with these people, maybe they had the same origin.
The country of the eight directions, the canopy, the canopy of the sky......
Lingyu faintly grasped the point. The turf is there, and the rules of the game are there, so, is this a game?
Since it's a game, there's an opponent. Those seven people are naturally her opponents.
Could it be that the eight of them were thrown in just to inherit their predecessors and continue the game? And why did the ex leave?
"The lords of Kun and Xun are a husband and wife, so the departure between them is often attacked by the two countries......"
"Leaving the country is overwhelmed, and forming an alliance with the earthquake country ......"
"None of the other four countries are allied, but they often choose one of them to join forces......"
According to Annan, this situation has been going on for 10,000 years.
These people lived here, and there was no country until the appearance of the eight lords, and it was divided into eight kingdoms.
In the past, whenever there was not enough energy, they would go to the sky to look for the sky curtain Xuanjing, and it was also because of the appearance of their predecessors that it became a competition for the Xuanjing once every ten years.
The rules of this game were set by the eight former lords.
These people, following the rules of the game, played for 10,000 years, until more than 600 years ago, when they suddenly disappeared one after another. Then, more than six hundred years later, their successors suddenly appeared.
Annan has already received the news, and the lords of the other eight countries have also appeared.
Lingyu thought it was strange. If this is a game, then, what is a sign of victory? The eight lords of the country suddenly disappeared, and there was no winner at all, so what about them? Fight for the Sky Crystal Crystal?
According to Annan, the number of these Heavenly Curtain Xuanjing is not small, as long as they control the number of people who reproduce, it is enough to maintain the existence of this world. The outcome of the competition will affect how they will live in the coming year, and it will not be a matter of life and death.
Lingyu decided to continue to observe.
The next battle for the canopy will begin soon. They are now competing for the right to participate in the Battle of the Skydome.
Annan said that every warrior who regained the Heavenly Curtain Xuanjing would be treated with great hospitality, which was a great honor. Therefore, every time there is a battle for the canopy, the warriors and priests will do their best to compete for qualifications.
After several days of competition, all the hundred warriors who participated in the battle of the canopy were selected.
Next, there was the priestly contest.
The first pair of priests walked up to the competition platform, and a glimmer of light flashed in Lingyu's lazy eyes.
She saw one of the priests waving his scepter as the storm began to take shape.
It's a spell, a real spell!
It's really strange, she has lost her cultivation, she doesn't have the slightest true element, and she can't even sense the aura, why are these priests able to use spells?
Moreover, it is clear that she has not cultivated, why did these priests not find out at all and still surrender to her?
Is it the rules of this world that are different from her perception, or is it possible for her cultivation to be repaired?
She didn't believe that her predecessor, Emperor Danxiao, who had nothing, would be able to subdue these natives with his bare hands and establish a complete country.
She must have overlooked something.
Lingyu leaned on the throne and asked casually, "Annan, how many years have you succeeded as high priest?" ”
Annan replied respectfully: "Emperor, it's been ten years. ”
"Ten years ......" she yawned, as if absent-mindedly asked, "You haven't seen Lone before, what does Lone look like in your mind?" ”
Annan said in a reverent tone: "Your Majesty has listened to the story of the emperor since he was a child. The emperor is in the world, and after 10,000 years, we have the wind and rain of our country, and live and work in peace and contentment. Legend has it that when the emperor appeared, he was full of radiance......"
Lingyu listened drowsily. In Annan's description, Emperor Danxiao was an all-powerful god who came to Gen to bring the light of the sun into the scepter, and from then on the priests had true magical powers......
"Sun ......" Lingyu suddenly came to his senses.
She remembered the frescoes in the palace, when Emperor Danxiao put the sun on the scepter. She always thought that painting was a symbol, and when she heard Annan say this, it seemed to be a realistic depiction.
Sun...... Could it be that the energy of this world is in the sun?
"Annan, is the scepter of your priesthood passed down from generation to generation?"
"Of course!" Annan caressed the scepter in his hand lovingly, "This scepter was given by the emperor himself back then. ”
Lingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "You say so, I miss it." Take it for me to see, I haven't seen it in years. ”
"Yes." Annan did not doubt him, bowed forward, and offered the scepter with both hands.
Lingyu took the scepter and stroked it slowly.
The scepter, carved from a hard wood, swirled upwards at the top, with a round crystal in the middle, shining like the sun.
When Lingyu's hand touched the crystal, it sensed a burst of energy like electricity.
This energy entered her body and was quickly transformed into true element.
Lingyu's eyes lit up and she waved her scepter.
On the high platform, a bright light curtain rises.
This scene alarmed the priests and warriors below, and they all knelt on the ground and proclaimed themselves emperors.
Lingyu smiled with satisfaction, removed the light curtain, and returned the scepter to Annan.
"Let's keep trying."
Annan complied, turned around and ordered them to continue the competition.
The priests waved their scepters again, casting spells.
Lingyu asked casually, "Annan, how many other Heavenly Curtain Xuanjing do we have?" (To be continued......)
