Chapter 197: Xuanyan City
The Purple Cloud Feast is a feast inherited from Ziyun Star seven hundred years ago, a grand banquet with the five major sects of Ziyun Star as the protagonists and belonging to the entire Purple Cloud Star.
Every twenty years, the Purple Cloud Feast will be held once, and it will be held by the five major sects of the Purple Cloud Star in turn.
One hundred years is a reincarnation.
That is to say, every sect, every hundred years, must hold a Purple Cloud Feast.
And this year, in the year 1233 of the Ziyun Calendar, it is the turn of the Xuanyin Sect, one of the five major sects of Ziyun Star, to hold the Purple Cloud Feast, and at that time, the other four major sects of Ziyun Star will bring some disciples to the Xuanyin Sect to participate in the Purple Cloud Feast.
The day of the Purple Cloud Feast is set on October 10, which has the meaning of 'perfect'.
The five major sects of the Purple Cloud Star, including the Xuanyin Sect, had already found a good place near the sect's residence as early as seven hundred years ago and opened up a venue dedicated to holding the Purple Cloud Feast.
However, even if the site is ready-made, it is necessary to start the layout a year in advance, otherwise it will be too late.
Since the end of last year, the Sect Master of the Xuanyin Sect has ordered to start arranging the venue for the Purple Cloud Feast, so a group of Xuanyin Sect elders and disciples have been busy since the end of last year.
The venue where the Xuanyin Sect held the Purple Cloud Feast was a vast city, and a large open space was vacated in the center of the city for the Purple Cloud Feast that the five major sects went to together.
In the city, there is also a ring of buildings.
These buildings, without exception, are all inns under the Xuanyin Sect.
The area from the inn to the open space in the center of the city is the free trading market in the city, and the city will be open ten days before the Purple Cloud Feast begins, and there will be many people coming to trade here in exchange for what they want before the Purple Cloud Feast begins.
The city where the Xuanyin Sect held the Purple Cloud Feast was named 'Xuanyan City'.
Among them, the first word is taken from the word 'Xuan' in the Xuanyin Sect, and the second word is taken from the word 'banquet' in the Purple Cloud Feast.
"This Xuanyan City will open in a quarter of an hour!"
On September 30, 1233 in the purple cloud calendar, in the early morning, the rising sun had just risen in the east, and there were already many people standing outside the four gates of Xuanyan City, which was located between the Xuanyin Sect and the Xuanyin Empire.
In addition to the four city gates, there are many people standing in the sky, even above the high altitude outside the city wall, there are already many people standing in the sky, most of them are standing or sitting on the backs of birds and monsters, and there are some Yuan Dan monks who are standing in the sky.
However, before Xuanyan City was officially opened, no one dared to break into Xuanyan City from the air, not even a group of Yuandan monks.
Because, at this moment, above the walls around Xuanyan City, there are many people standing in the sky, all of whom are the elders and disciples of the Xuanyin Sect who were sent by the Xuanyin Sect to maintain the order of Xuanyan City, and there are many martial arts monks in the middle of the Yuan Dan.
With the deterrence of these Xuanyin Sect elders and disciples, naturally no one dared to mess around.
"Old man Li, are you here too? I said you were going to come over, so I came with you...... This journey from the Qianqiu Empire is really boring. ”
In the void outside Xuanyan City, an elderly man surrounded by pale white mist said to another old man standing in the air not far away.
"You didn't ask me. ”
The latter shook his head and said.
These two old men are both from the Qianqiu Empire, they are old acquaintances, and they are both martial arts monks in the early Yuan Dan period.
The Qianqiu Empire, one of the five major sects of the Purple Cloud Star, is under the 'Qianqiu Sect', which is very far away from the Xuanyin Empire, and there is a Divine Light Empire in the middle.
The two old men came from thousands of miles to join in the excitement of the Ziyun feast.
The Purple Cloud Feast, except that people from the five major sects of the Purple Cloud Star cannot enter the infield, but the outfield does not restrict others from watching, so that every time the Purple Cloud Feast is held, a group of people from all over the Purple Cloud Star come to watch.
In Ziyun Star, there are many people who are proud to be able to witness the holding of a Ziyun Feast in their lifetime.
"It's open!"
A quarter of an hour later, many people exclaimed, and the four gates of Xuanyan City slowly opened.
The next moment, a group of people outside suddenly entered Xuanyan City like crossing the river, flowing endlessly, endlessly...... From a distance, it looks like a group of ants have consciously sent themselves into the bloody mouth of a giant beast.
The people who entered Xuanyan City came from all over the Purple Cloud Star, including people from the five major empires, and some people from outside the party.
The so-called people outside the square refer to people who are not in the five empires and those who are not cultivating in the five major sects, they may be casual cultivators, or they may have families and sects outside the square.
For example, the sixteen countries of the Eastern Valley and the fourteen countries of the southern Xinjiang near the Shenguang Empire belong to the land outside the Fang.
And the people inside belong to the category of outsiders.
Generally speaking, people outside the Fang are generally low in cultivation because of the poor resources in the place where they live, but there are a few exceptions, and these people are basically people who have great adventures and great opportunities.
"Young master, there should be that Xuanyan City in front. ”
In the south direction of Xuanyan City, above the clouds, a huge black shadow broke through the clouds, swooped down, and came to the vicinity of Xuanyan City in a blink of an eye.
This huge black shadow was a huge black giant eagle, with a golden crown burning like a raging flame on its head, majestic and majestic.
And on its back, sitting cross-legged was a handsome young man dressed in white and Shengxue.
In front of the young man, a little girl about eight or nine years old was sitting on his lap and was stretching out her hand to point to Xuanyan City in front of her, "Brother, Xuanyan City seems to have opened its door." ”
"Exactly, we don't have to wait. ”
The girl's pink little face was excited.
"Hmm. ”
The young man in white, it was the 'Emperor Zhou Dong' who came from the Shenguang Empire, and when he saw his sister Yunlu so happy, the corners of his mouth rarely pouted with a smile.
"Erjin, go in and find an inn to stay in. ”
Zhou Donghuang said to the Golden Crown Eagle Erjin.
"Yes, young master. ”
After Erjin responded, he suddenly flapped his wings and turned into a swift lightning and flew into Xuanyan City.
Xuanyan City is much smaller than the capital of the Shenguang Empire, but when you look at it, the flow of people in it is surging like waves, but it is not less than the flow of people shuttling around the capital of the Shenguang Empire.
The inn in Xuanyan City is a subordinate inn of Xuanyin Sect, which is managed in a unified manner, and different rooms have different prices.
The best guest room courtyards don't even accept gold and silver, only spirit stones.
A spirit stone for one night.
From the day the Xuanyan City opened, it was until the end of the Purple Cloud Feast, a total of ten nights, and it cost ten spirit stones!
You must know that even among the five top sects of Ziyun Star, generally only martial arts monks who have entered the realm of Yuan Dan are eligible to receive the spirit stones issued by the sect.
However, martial arts monks in the early stage of Yuan Dan can generally only receive one spirit stone a month.
Even if it is an elder-level existence in the middle of the Yuan Dan period, although there are more spirit stones to receive every month, they can generally only receive three spirit stones.
Because of this, few people can afford to live in the best guest room courtyard in the Xuanyan City Inn.
Even if they can afford to live, few people are willing to do so.
Before the Purple Cloud Feast began, in addition to the host Xuanyin Sect, the visitors from the other four major sects of Ziyun Star were all staying in the Xuanyin Sect's residence.
In this case, the best guest room courtyard of the Xuanyan City Inn is generally idle.
A hundred years ago, there were five of the best guest rooms in the Xuanyan City Inn, but they were all idle...... This time, the people of the Xuanyin Sect further compressed the courtyard with the best guest rooms in the Xuanyan City Inn, and there were only three rooms left.
The elders and disciples of the Xuanyin Sect who were in charge of the reception of the inn originally thought that even if there were only three of the best guest rooms left, no one would live in them.
However, they didn't expect that on the first day of the opening of Xuanyan City, someone would live in one of the best guest rooms.
"Wow, brother, this yard is so big!"
The people who lived in the courtyard of the best guest room of the Xuanyan City Inn were none other than Zhou Donghuang, Yunlu and Golden Crown Eagle.
The whole courtyard is full of two gold beds.
As for Zhou Donghuang and Yunlu, they each have one room, and there are only two rooms in this guest room courtyard, and there is no third room.
"A spirit stone is a guest room courtyard for one night, and there are two rooms in it...... That Xuanyin Sect is really dark enough!"
Erjin spat out and grinned.
The fewer rooms there are, the fewer people will live.
If it is a group of four people who are inconvenient to come here, and want to live in the best guest room courtyard, unless it is like it, the sky is the account, the ground is the bed, or the tent is set up by itself, otherwise you can only ask the inn for two guest rooms, so that the inn can earn two dollars.
"Brother, shall we go out now?"
Yun Lu looked at Zhou Donghuang expectantly.
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Donghuang nodded, the reason why he came to Xuanyan City so early was because of the free trading market in Xuanyan City.
Ten days before the start of the Purple Cloud Feast, in the free trading market of Xuanyan City, there were people from all over the Purple Cloud Star buying, selling, and trading.
Zhou Donghuang came in advance, just to see if there was anything he wanted in the free trading market of Xuanyan City that he didn't even have in the Shenguang Sect.
Of course, this was only the secondary purpose of his trip.
This time, the main purpose of his coming was to solve the threat that might come from Chen Dandan, after all, he was going to leave Ziyunxing soon, and it was impossible to leave such a hidden danger to endanger his family.
He could have gone directly to the Xuanyin Sect's residence.
However, after learning that the 'Purple Cloud Feast' was about to start, he was not in a hurry at all.
Because, solving Chen Dandan's matter at the Purple Cloud Feast is far more effective than going directly to the Xuanyin Sect to solve it.
At that time, not only the people of the Xuanyin Sect will be able to see it, but even the people of the other four major sects of Ziyun Star will be able to see it.
Moreover, there are also people from all over the Purple Cloud Star who come to join in the fun.
Attacking at the Xuanyin Sect's residence can only deter the people of the Xuanyin Sect at most.
However, if he makes a move at the Purple Cloud Feast, he is a person who can deter the entire Purple Cloud Star, and there is no need to worry about it, after he leaves the Purple Cloud Star, someone will dare to trouble his Zhou Donghuang's family!
