Yunyang City was founded nearly 10,000 years ago, when the Dao Demon War had just settled, and the entire Cangwu Continent was in urgent need of recuperation, and after a series of wars, the Central Plains was devastated, and the shili among the mortals had been swept away. At that time, the royal family, after the founding of the country, it was convenient for Yunmengze to establish the capital, because the capital city stood next to Daze, when the sun rises, the clouds are steaming, and the purple is red, which is named after Yunyang. It is the largest city in the southeast. It covers a wide area, comparable to a small country among the six southeastern countries.

The whole city is built with huge bluestone, mined from the deep mountains, three zhang long and wide, seven feet five inches thick square boulders, I don't know how many pieces are used, it looks like the city is thousands of miles, the sky covers the sun. Among them, except for Bi Zhenzhen, they were all coming to this big city for the first time, although Gu Yan had already heard about it and was mentally prepared, but when he first saw this big city, he was still dumbfounded and amazed.

This is the majestic atmosphere of the real Cangwu Xiuzhen shijie!

The area of the entire Cangwu Continent is huge, and Yunze Country covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, from Dongyang County to Yunyang City, as far as tens of thousands of miles, and the cloud boat flies slowly, and it takes seven or eight days to reach the place. These days, Gu Yan is mostly practicing on the Jinyun Disk, and occasionally listening to Bi Zhenzhen say some things that need to be paid attention to when the big competition, but a few little girls who have just come out of the mountain, including Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong, are very excited to look at the majestic mountains and reckless fields that are speeding by under their feet.

Mo Yan was not brought over by Gu Yan this time, after she broke through to the sixth layer of qi refining, she entered a bottleneck, and was ordered by Gu Yan to retreat in the Spirit Garden, and asked Lan Xiang to supervise and teach her every day, and told her very seriously that if she couldn't make a breakthrough before she came back. Then I won't recognize her as an apprentice anymore!

Gu Yan was usually kind and pleasant, but this time he suddenly became serious, so that Mo Yan didn't dare to put his beak anymore and obediently went to retreat and cultivate. Don't mention going to Yunyang City to open your eyes again. just kept telling the two senior sisters that they must finish watching the scenery there, so that haode can come back and learn from her.

Yunzhou slowly stopped in front of the city gate, and did not land, and it can be seen that on the wide city wall, there are one beacon tower after another, and green smoke rises from each beacon tower. The sky was shining brightly, and from time to time monks would fly over the sky in the clouds, and their figures would pass between the beacons, and most of them would be fine, except for one or two that would be intercepted. Zhu Ying asked with some curiosity: "Master, will those people be stopped?" ”

Bi Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Yunyang City is the largest city in the surrounding countries, and countless monks come and go here, so the city can't help but fly. However, it is necessary to report to the City Lord's Mansion in advance and receive a flying talisman to avoid the detection of these countless beacons. If you don't obey the order and fall, then the beacon will burst out, and the whole city will be put into combat readiness, so no one will dare not listen to them. Those people probably forgot to carry the jade talisman for flying with them. You guys should also be careful, if you go out alone, don't forget these rules, otherwise you will be detained by the City Lord's Mansion, but don't let me lead you. ”

Zhu Ying stuck out her tongue, "Then I don't dare to go out alone." ”

Gu Yan smiled. She was quite touched, compared with the Weidu in the southeast, it was easy to see the difference between the two, in the Weidu City, there were eight towers, occupying eight main positions in the city. The monks were not allowed to fly in the air because it would offend the majesty of the guards. But when the people with identity come, they will open the door again and break this ban, and behind the pretense of being reserved, there is a small family spirit.

Yunyang City is different, this is a real big city that embraces all rivers, a prosperous place for monks! She took a deep breath, this big city with a radius of hundreds of miles, there are probably more monks gathered than she had seen in the past, this is one of the real immortal cultivation places, then, Dashijie, I'm here!

Yunyang City has a vast area, naturally there will not be only four city gates like ordinary cities, in fact, they have a total of twenty-four city gates, but in an emergency, these city gates will all close by themselves, put down the broken dragon stone, and it will be sealed forever, allowing people to enter and exit only through the gates at the four corners. But usually, there is an endless stream of monks who come and go through these twenty-four gates.

Yunzhou stopped in front of a city gate, Yue Yi went over to talk to the city gate order, he is one of the sixteen county guards, in the Yunze country is equal to a prince, the status is transcendent, and he soon got the order to pass, and he also brought a piece of jade talisman for each person, as long as everyone in the treasure mirror in front of the city gate, leave their own mark, even if the report is complete. When leaving the city, you must return this jade talisman to the city gate order.

The cloud boat stopped outside the city, and then everyone used their flying magic weapons to enter the city. Dongyang County has a fixed residence in the city, for the monks who come and go to Yunyang every year to live, similar to a post house, has been guarded by the county guard's cronies in this place, Yue Yi came in person this time, naturally prepared a room, but it is not necessary to live here, if the monks have their own residence, as long as they come to meet in the first two days of Dabi.

Cumulus Peak and Han Tan's two families, they just came here to take a picture, and then hurriedly took their disciples away, if Gu Yan guessed correctly, it must be to meet with the Qin family and the Yuan family separately, the big competition is coming, the entire Yunyang City will be surging, at this time, it is better to make less trouble. So Gu Yan discussed with Bi Zhenzhen, and after arriving at the place, they rested in the post house, anyway, they had nowhere else to go. It is not forbidden for the disciples to go to the streets, anyway, they don't have much place to go, after all, Yunyang City is a Tongdu Dayi, and the security is excellent, just tell them to pay more attention, and there is not much worry.

After Gu Yan arranged everything, he brought Bi Zhenzhen, Zhu Ying, Lin Zitong, and the four of them to the room together, plus Ji Quan, to discuss the matter of Dabi together.

There are still more than ten days in the period of Dabi, but how to distribute it in advance and how to end it afterwards must first make a plan, otherwise it will be easy to panic when things come to an end. Gu Yan is also the first time, and Bi Zhenzhen first explained the rules of Dabi to everyone.

Dabi is not only in Yunze Country, but also in the entire Kyushu and Sixteen Kingdoms of the Cangwu Continent, which is the case of the nine major factions back then. But for nearly 10,000 years, the rules of each country have changed, and each country is different. Like Yun Zeguo. Within the scope of Shili, which belongs to the Tibetan Sword Villa, according to the rule, this big competition will be sent by the Tibetan Sword Villa to co-preside over with the current royal family. Although the royal family is weak, and the Yuan and Qin families are rising in secret, at least on the bright side, they still have to obey the orders of the royal family.

Of course. If they really have the strength to overthrow the royal family in one fell swoop, then the Hidden Sword Villa may turn to support them. As big as a country, as small as a city, no matter how big or small, there is always a means of playing the game, and no one can cover the sky with their own strength. Even the head of the Hidden Sword Villa, Yunchi Jianzun, can't do it.

Bi Zhenzhen frowned and said: "Generally speaking, every time the rules of Dabi are changed, there will always be some slight changes. But some fundamental rules remain the same. Everyone needs to pass the trial, and use this trial to determine the ranking, the top-ranked county government can get the support of the royal family and the whole country, the top sect can also get the rewards of the royal family and the Tibetan Sword Villa, and is eligible to distribute the resources of those sects that have been disqualified because the ranking is too low, the higher the ranking, the more you can get. The other most important thing is that in the midst of trials. Life or death! ”

Gu Yan sighed softly, this kind of thing is related to the rise and fall of a sect's luck, and which sect will not work hard? Deaths and injuries are naturally inevitable, which is also the disadvantage of a small sect. If you participate in the big competition. Those big sects have enough lives to fill them, and the small sects, as long as they are careless, they may fall into a state of no return. She couldn't help but admire the people who set up this rule back then, using this method, they could firmly control the resources and connections of the entire Cangwu sect, they only needed to stand high at the top of the pyramid to control the entire Cangwu.

I believe that over the years, Gu Yan is not the only one who has seen this, but Gu Yan is now just a small monk who has crossed the river. She is still a drifter, far from being able to challenge authority. Don't look at her, she has a small reputation in the six southeastern countries, Dongyang County, and has defeated a master like Xia Ruoqiu who became famous as a teenager, but at least in the eyes of the nine major factions and those big families who are worse than them, she can only be regarded as a worthy object, and she is far from worthy of their attention. Maybe one day, when she enters the realm of consummation and has the hope of getting married, it will be possible to make a little voice of her own.

Of course, these things are still far away, and the most important thing now is through this big competition in front of us. She frowned and asked, "Every time there is a trial, the question will be different?" What is the topic of this trial? ”

Bi Zhenzhen said: "I also know that every time I compare with each other, there is some damage to the sect shili, so every time I compare it, I will select a secret realm, which has been specially arranged by the joint efforts of the nine major factions, and there are countless illusion formations in it, but there are also countless treasures of heaven and earth, all of which are places that the monks dream of entering, and the things in it can be taken at will." I remember the last time, I went to the secret realm of Tiantai Mountain, that time I was still a little disciple, and I followed the master at that time to participate in the big competition on behalf of Danxia Sect, and I was lucky to hang on my tail, and I also got some spiritual grass to come back to practice. That time it was mainly about how many monsters everyone hunted, but this time it should be different......

Gu Yan groaned and said, "In this way, we can't be too showy. She has also participated in similar activities many times, and knows the truth that the rafters rot first.

Bi Zhenzhen frowned and said: "This time should be different from the last time, their three major factions should have already gotten the news, but we don't know yet, we won't know until Yue Junshou comes back......"

Gu Yan smiled, Cumulus Peak should have received the news in advance, which is also the convenience of their dependence on the big family, but they did not inform themselves of the news, it seems that the short-term friendship established in the Lancang Valley has completely dissipated with the conflict of interests after all. They always regarded Bixia Sect as a competitor, not a friend who could fight together, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly: her vision is too small!

In the southeast of Yunyang City, in a huge mansion, there are countless towering giant trees standing around it, and the white air is forested inside, and the monks who come and go are extremely rare, everyone knows that this is the mansion of the Qin family, and it is also one of the two poles that summon the authority to hold Yunyang City. Yunze's royal family is weak, and Shili is in the hands of the Yuan and Qin families, which is no longer a secret. And these two have been fighting for hundreds of years. Neither has the upper hand, and it is still evenly divided. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a possibility that the royal family or even the Tibetan Sword Villa will balance it behind. In short, under the suppression of the Tibetan Sword Villa. For the time being, the struggle between these two families can only be hidden in the shadows, and cannot be put on the surface.

At this moment, Qin Jing, the head of the Qin family, a monk who had attained a perfect knot, was receiving guests in his study.

This place is his inner study, and outsiders have always known it. This head of the Qin family, who was known for his seriousness and profundity, would not easily entertain outsiders here if he were not an extremely close person.

He sat very quietly behind the bookcase, although he wanted to make a relaxed expression on his face, he still couldn't hide his natural seriousness, and on the left side of his head, sitting were the two peak masters of Cumulus Peak, plus the Southern Fairy. Four people with Yang Zhen. Cumulus Peak and two other monks also participated in the competition, but they did not come together. However, Yang Zhen was able to sit in the last seat.

Sitting on the other side were several people in charge of the Qin family, including Qin Jing's two brothers. and an uncle in the inner hall, and Qin Feng also sat at the bottom. At this time, Yang Zhen stood respectfully, reporting some things to Qin Jing, including what happened in the Lancang Valley, and how they reacted afterwards.

Qin Jing just listened quietly there, and didn't do anything static, until he heard Gu Yan's name, then he turned his head and asked Qin Feng and said, "Feng'er, this woman." Is it what you once said, I met you when you were defending the country, and later when you took the tiger talisman, you also helped you a little? ”

Qin Feng nodded and said, "When she took the Tiger Talisman that time, she attacked the Yuan Thirteen Limit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take the Tiger Talisman so easily. ”

Qin Jing nodded, "That's our Qin family, we owe her kindness, and we haven't thanked her yet." You go back and give me a gift and thank her, which is the end of this kindness. ”

Qin Feng stood up and said with some reluctance: "Father! Qin Jing's words came out, which means that he has given up his efforts to win over the Bixia Sect, in the dispute between Cumulus Peak and Bixia Sect, he naturally chose to support Cumulus Peak, just said very clearly, thank Gu Yan, it is just a personal friendship, and in the battle between the two sects, the Qin family will fully support Cumulus Peak, and will not leave the slightest affection for Bixia Sect.

Obviously, this is a rational decision of the head of the family, but Qin Feng's heart is a little resentful, can't his father listen to himself, is he really old and has become short-sighted?

Qin Jing saw his dissatisfaction, and said slightly angrily: "Feng'er, you are the head disciple of the next generation, you shouldn't ignore the overall situation for a little personal friendship!" This is your friend, and I'm already looking at your face! ”

Fairy Nan stood up and bowed slightly, "Gongzi Qin, I know that Gu Daoyou is your friend, it's just a matter of the sect, it's not a momentary battle of will, I hope you can treat it well." ”

Qin Jing's voice turned cold, "Feng'er, I have already made a decision on this matter, and it was also decided by several of your ancestors and uncles together, so don't say anything more, prepare well for this big competition, you know?" ”

Yang Zhen sighed in his heart, Qin Jing wisely chose to support Cumulus Peak, that is to say, this matter will come to an end, Cumulus Peak will be in charge of the Niu Er of Shili, a monk in Dongyang County, and Bixia Sect is not able to compete with them for the time being. It's just that everyone seems to have forgotten this, weishenme Cumulus Peak can overwhelm the Han and Tan families, as well as the original Danyang faction? It's all about Gu Yan!

It seems that now, Cumulus Peak is going farther and farther on the road of breaking with the Bixia Sect, in fact, in the last internal discussion, they have treated the Bixia Sect as an equivalent Shili second only to the Han and Tan families, and it belongs to the object that needs to be suppressed, rather than something that can be controlled and driven. But is this decision really wise? Although Qin Jing made the decision to support Cumulus Peak, he didn't have much joy, I hope their decision was right!

Qin Feng sat there and didn't say anything anymore, he knew that his father's decision was unquestionable, and the two peak masters had already turned to talk about the matter of this big competition, Chi Yan asked: "This big competition, Qin Gongzi will also participate?" ”

The Yuan and Qin families, as the two major families in Yunze Kingdom, will naturally participate in this competition, in fact, these two families have been able to stand out from the repeated competitions for thousands of years. Naturally, unlike those small and medium-sized sects, their purpose now is not to survive, but to let the younger disciples accumulate more experience, survive the fittest, and contribute more to the family in the future.

Qin Feng nodded, "This time my ancestor will make a move, and ten of our Qin family will enter the ancient battlefield!" ”

The three people of Cumulus Peak were shocked at the same time, and Yang Zhen couldn't help but say: "Is the location of this big competition set on the ancient battlefield, and Old Man Qin will personally take action?" ”

Qin Jing's face was a little solemn and nodded, "Yes, this time the big competition is more unusual than the previous ones, the Yuan family's side, not only the Yuan limit will go, the Yuan Zitan, who has been in retreat for two hundred years, just because he has no grasp of dealing with the heavenly calamity, and refuses to get married, will also represent the Yuan family to participate in this big competition!" ”

Nan Xianzi said in surprise: "The ancient battlefield has not been used for nearly a thousand years, the secret realm of Tiantai Mountain last time was not excellent, weishenme will be set in the ancient battlefield this time?" ”

Qin Jing said: "During the last big competition, there were a lot of Jiedan monks who fought in it, and the secret realm of Tiantai Mountain became unstable because of this. ”

Yang Zhen said puzzledly: "The secret realm in Yunze has been used more than once, which time has there been no instability?" But it didn't collapse because of this, and the ancient battlefield must be stable? ”

Qin Jing said lightly: "This is proposed by the people of the Hidden Sword Villa, and the emperor is also in favor of this matter, and there is no room for us to put our beaks in this." Moreover, the Yuan family also agreed to this approach, and if we objected, we would definitely be isolated, and at that time, things would be difficult to handle. ”

Qin's cover color also changed slightly, obviously he had just learned the news, and he had not recovered from the shock yet. Yang Zhen said: "Originally, we have already formulated jihua, and this time we can at least fight for more shili for the Qin family in Dongyang County, but now, I'm afraid that all jihua will have to be revised!" ”

His words were not false, the place on the ancient battlefield was one of the most dangerous secret realms in Yunze Country, it was once the battlefield in the last Dao Demon War, and unlike the battlefield in Tongluo Mountain, this was the real place of bloody battles! There have been no less than dozens of fights between the Guangyuan Infant Monks, and there are at least twenty or thirty Yuanying Monks who have fallen here!

The murderous aura that soared there alone made many monks in the foundation building period not even dare to enter it once, and they would be frightened by life, which was extremely detrimental to their future cultivation. The Yuan family's amazingly talented monk Yuan Zitan also stood out in the last ancient battlefield secret realm.

At that time, there were many people, all of whom fell into an ancient illusion array and couldn't extricate themselves, killing each other in it, killing and wounding countless people, only Yuan Zitan suppressed the formation strongly, and fought hard to break the entire formation, saving many people, and it was that time that the Yuan family really established a position that could compete with the Qin family in the entire Yunze. Qin Jing always suspected that Yuan Zitan had done something in secret that time, and most of the people who died were shili who were extremely supportive of the Qin family at that time, allowing the Yuan family to rise quickly.

Since that time, the ancient battlefield has been sealed for more than a thousand years without use, it is said that the Tibetan Sword Villa intends to close its entire area, no longer used as a secret realm, but to use the murderous aura in it to refine the sword, but there is no decision, but today it is obtained from Qin Jing's mouth, the messenger of the Tibetan Sword Villa, decided to restart the ancient battlefield!

Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked a question, "Does the royal family also agree with this opinion?" ”

Qin Jing nodded and said, "That emperor, who has been cultivating in the harem for decades, has not asked about foreign affairs, and today he suddenly made this proposal in the palace, which is really surprising!" (To be continued)
