Chapter 90: The First Lesson of the West Wind Star Temple
And these facts mentioned by the internal history are like pieces of a puzzle, and the general has already begun to connect them: "Li Dai Taozhuang? Qian Nanzheng violated military regulations and was demoted to the White Horse Patrol Inspection, in order to protect this 'Wu Xing' nearby? When Zhao Zhongguo was the county commander of Baima Town, it was that barbarian invasion. It was rumored that Zhongguo abandoned the city and fled, but because I ascended the throne, he had the merit of persuasion, and the matter was settled. The response behind the West Wind Star Hall also seemed to be skeptical of Wu Xing's identity. The two clerks and several officials, as well as a Lintao County inspector....... Well, if there's anything else, let's talk about it together!"
Nei Shi responded, and said: "When the general was traveling west, King Ning made a move, and he really colluded with the barbarians. It was confirmed by Ruishi that there were 100,000 barbarian horsemen gathered near the gap of the Great Wall at that time. If the barbarians were to discover the barbarians' empty city plan and pursue them out of the Great Wall two days later, it was very likely that they would be flanked by hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Although it may not be defeated, it will put the general in danger in the end. ”
The general put the scroll in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "It seems that my royal brother is not willing to be an idle prince in the land of Bashu, and he is still watching my every move. When the collusion with the barbarians failed, they instigated the remnants of Bashu and the bandits to rebel. Next time, I don't know what else to do. It's just that at present, it seems that the rivers are declining and the donkey skills are poor. ”
"General, isn't it just to give King Ning a chance to arrange the Zheng family in the land of Bashu? Neshi said.
"Those tattoos, have they been cracked?" The general turned his head to look at Lu Lao and asked.
"The tattoo is supposed to be used for some kind of puppet manipulation technique, but it is not complete, and the function is not far from what I imagined. Lu Lao groaned: "I originally thought that the barbarians were secretly collecting rutile ore, and they should be trying to restore a kind of first-class pattern weapon in the old calendar: the Titan puppet. It's just that if it can only reach the level that it has intercepted now, the barbarians even need to use the hands of the First Chamber of Commerce's 'far-fetched' Star Venerable, presumably the Titan puppet is unlikely to appear on the battlefield in the past ten years. I'm just worried that they won't transport this weapon by land in the future, but by sea, which will be extremely difficult to intercept. Unless the East China Sea and Yanliao are willing to cooperate with us to increase the intensity of warship cruises......"
"It's not safe by sea. There are many monsters in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Even the warships of the Southern Chu State were not unscrupulous. Nei Shi shook his head and said, "In those ten years, my West Wind Country can also unify at least half of the Starfall Continent!"
"General, have you seen that piece of jade pendant?" Lu Lao saw that the general was full of energy and full of ambition, so he changed the topic and asked.
"Are you talking about this jade pendant?" The general rummaged twice in the pile of scrolls, took out a brocade box and opened it, took the jade pendant in his hand and played with it, and said, "Is this the jade pendant of the Emperor of the Ages?"
"After the first emperor dragon controlled Bintian, it is said that seventy-two doubtful graves were set up on the Starfall Continent, just for fear of being dug up and whipped by rebels from all walks of life. Neishi said: "This piece of jade pendant was obtained from a tomb in a doubtful tomb in the land of Bashu. If it weren't for King Ning who was also looking for this piece of jade pendant, Ruishi might not be able to detect it, let alone design it to snatch it first. Later, the death and death struggles of those bandits in various parts of the two counties counterattacked, in fact, there was also King Ning's intention to take advantage of the chaos to intercept the jade pendant and prevent our side from going north. ”
"What is the flocculent dot in this, and what is the purpose of King Ning's attempt to stop the jade pendant?" the general curiously glanced at the jade pendant in the direction of the palace lamp and asked.
"Colored flocculent dots, are chalcedony. Neishi replied: "The first emperor of the ages was sentenced by the Star God Temple to be the demon king, and he will come to the mortal world every three hundred years, causing disaster to the world. And this jade pendant with a collection of nine-colored chalcedony is said to be the 'coffin' of the Great Demon King. ”
"'Coffin'?" the general asked subconsciously.
"Yes. Since the first emperor of the ages has set up seventy-two doubtful tombs, he naturally keeps the coffin a secret. Neshi said: "It is said that ....... That one Emperor of the Ages was the first person of the Star Monarch who had no ancients before and no one after him, and because he did not achieve his long-cherished wish to rebuild the Heavenly Court when he was alive, he made himself into a stele spirit before the arrival of the time limit, and sealed it in this nine-colored chalcedony jade pendant, waiting for the moment to rebuild the Heavenly Court. It is rumored that if you can get the 'coffin' where the Emperor of the Ages is located, you can get all its true inheritances and become the first person of the Star Monarch!"
"Or, become a demon king. Lu Lao shook his head and said: "The Demon King has come to the world several times, and every time he stirs up bloody storms and rains, causing the lives of the world to be devastated, and finally he was called on by the Star God Temple to join forces with all the strong people to strangle him. According to me, this piece of jade pendant should be broken!"
"It's okay to break it!" the general smiled, handed over the jade pendant in his hand, and motioned for a please.
Old Lu took the jade pendant in his hand, made a gesture and wanted to fall, hesitated again and again, and finally sighed lightly and put it back in the brocade box.
........
In the year 790 of the ephemeris, the small manchu of the twenty-four solar terms, the west wind star hall.
Xingjun's clothing is usually quite exquisite: Wenqu Xingjun usually wears elegant wide-sleeved deep clothes, the so-called deep clothes are the top and bottom are connected together, and different colors of cloth are used as edges, the color corresponds to Xingjun's grade, at a glance, while Wuqu Xingjun usually wears a narrow-sleeved robe, a large belt, a knee-high hem of the top, breeches and leather boots, and the collar and cuffs also correspond to Xingjun's grade in color. As for Xingjun's choice of other clothing, it is rich and thrifty, all depending on personal preference, Xingzun can use coarse fabric, and Xingjun can also use silk cloth.
At this time, there were already hundreds of Star Monarch students gathered outside the stele forest of the West Wind Star Palace, all of whom were in front of a huge stone stele, listening to a Star Venerable make an opening speech. It can be clearly seen that among these Xingjun students, the proportion of Wenqu Xingjun is not even half of it, and among all the Xingjun students, there are only about a dozen who do not wear Xingshi, and those are the so-called "out-of-house observer students", who belong to the students who can only stand and listen to the class, and basically although they have passed the trial, they only belong to the bottom of the category.
"Although this megalithic stele is much larger than the others, it is a real waste stele. Xingzun used the Star Mind Technique to manipulate a star stone to move on the giant stone tablet, and said, "Therefore, the priest at that time decided to stand it here, and carved a schematic diagram of the layout of the West Wind Star Hall on its back. ”
"Now we can see that this place is where the main hall of the Star Hall is located...... The outer perimeter of the Star Hall is surrounded by a forest of steles, with a total of 517 giant stone tablets. Outside the stele forest, there is a semicolon of 'Baicaomen', the main business is naturally pills, there is a 'far-fetched' semicolon, the main business is naturally the pattern, there is also a semicolon of 'a business alliance', the main business is all kinds of materials of the 'Earth Treasure List', as for the 'Buqi Fang'...... The entire area where the main hall of the Star Hall is located has already laid out a weapon array, so there is no need to open another branch in this move. The three major chambers of commerce in the west are divided into commercial areas, and this large area in the east is a forbidden area for the priests, worshippers, and teachers of the Star Temple. ”
"In addition, I need to remind all new students that there are nine-colored boundary tablets in the stele forest, which correspond to the grade of the star monarch who can enter the area. In short, the closer the area to the main hall of the Star Temple, the higher the corresponding grade. Therefore, before viewing the megalith, please make sure that the area you are in matches your grade. Okay, now you can raise your hand and ask questions, I'll just answer three questions. ”
Hearing this, Wu Xing and Qin Lan couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at each other, obviously recalling that the examiner of Wenqu Xingjun said the same thing when they were in the Heavenly Ladder Trial, and they also gave three questions to answer a place, and then they were also wasted by a careless student. It seems that this way of asking and answering questions is indeed one of the traditions of the Star Temple.
Nearly half of the hundreds of students present raised their hands, and that one Star Venerable casually clicked a student to ask a question, and the star stone was suspended in front of the student.
"Naturally, students with low grades cannot skip the level....... However, a high-grade Star Monarch can't also be downgraded to another area of the Stele Forest?"
Xingzun's answer was very brief: "The boundary monument corresponds to the grade of Xingjun. ”
Wu Xing and Qin Lan shook their heads in unison, and the latter glanced at the former, obviously asking, "Why did you learn my movements?"
Wu Xing sneered, raised his hand to signal a question, and was really named by Xingzun.
"What are the conditions for entering the branch of the three major chambers of commerce?" this is the question raised by Wu Xing.
Xingzun's answer was as brief as ever: "Xingjun can enter, but it is unknown whether the other party will receive it or not." ”
"What is the schedule of the students?" was the third question, and another student asked.
Xingzun replied, "Usually there will be a teacher here to teach on the tenth day. At the end of the class, the start time of the next lesson and the content of the course will be announced, and the teacher of the class may change at short notice, so it is usually uncertain. Students can arrange the time between classes and come and go freely. ”
"In the next hour, students can take a walk around the neighborhood and familiarize themselves with the environment. Xingzun pointed in the direction of the main hall and said, "After an hour, the lecture will begin on the open-air podium. ”
After Xingzun finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, and the students naturally gathered together in the county, walked together, and scattered in all directions.
