In previous years, the Luoshui Conference of the Great Qi Dynasty was usually held in the form of a ring competition, and young monks with similar realms matched each other by drawing lots to compete with each other.

However, there have been rumors recently that this year's Luoshui Conference will be held in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" of the Great Qi royal family instead of the usual process form.

The monks present were apprehensive and expectant.

The "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" is a small world opened up by Emperor Tianxing, as a powerhouse of the Eighth Realm, with the help of the power of the "Tai'a Sword".

It is said that there are operating rules that are different from those of the outside world, cultivating precious medicinal materials that have become extinct in reality, and even raising some strange demons and monsters.

However, since Emperor Tianxing had been living in the Deep Palace for a long time, the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" had not shown its true face to the outside world for many years.

This undoubtedly makes it full of mystery in the eyes of everyone.

In addition, according to the practice of previous years, many big figures of the Great Qi Dynasty, including saints and powerhouses, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and sect heads, would gather in Luojing during the Luoshui Conference to watch the battle together. If a young monk is appreciated by them, he will have the opportunity to rise to the top.

Of course, these big people are not like ordinary people, standing in the sun on this crowded street.

On the other side of the Luo River, there is a high platform built especially for them.

When the bell rang, Luo Chuan, the head of the Great Qi National Teacher and the Exorcism Division, appeared on this high platform out of thin air, causing bursts of exclamations from the onlookers.

For many, this is the first time they have seen the saints in their own eyes.

The two of them were dressed as usual - Luo Sishou was dressed in a crane, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he looked like a fairy; The Great Qi National Teacher was dressed in a cloth shirt, with a simple and friendly smile, just like an old farmer who saw the harvest in autumn.

Beside them, there were also a few empty chairs.

It is undoubtedly reserved for several other saints.

"Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple has been practicing in retreat recently," Luo Chuan glanced at the empty seat beside him and said lightly, "He won't come to the capital this time. ”

"What about the Xu Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion?" The national teacher asked.

"She's delayed on the way, so she'll be here later."

Speaking of this, Luo Chuan paused for a moment, then waved his sleeves, conjured a teapot and teacup out of thin air, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and continued: "It's just that Zhao Changying's guy hasn't come for a long time, which makes me feel a little strange." ”

The national teacher was silent and did not respond immediately.

Luo Chuan has mastered the art of heavenly deduction and claims to be able to perceive everything in the world.

Something that even he thought was strange, it was certainly not a trivial matter.

After a short silence, he saw Luo Chuan smile and said in a relaxed tone: "It's actually a good thing that he doesn't come." The bastard drank all day with a flask in his arms, and he smelled so bad that he died. ”

…………

The civil and military officials came, the Praetorian Guard came, the palace honor guard came, and the imperial relatives came.

The bells and drums are louder and louder, and the chariots on the road are more gorgeous than one another.

The crowd finally quieted down.

Subsequently, Princess Zhaoning, who was in charge of secular government affairs, dressed in graceful and solemn palace clothes, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, walked down from the most luxurious and conspicuous carriage, and slowly walked through the crowd and walked to the bank of the Luo River in the awe, curiosity, amazement, or fiery eyes of everyone.

But she didn't stop there.

She walked and volleyed into the air.

A high platform appeared out of thin air on the Luo River.

The steps were like lotus petals, slowly falling from a high place, steadily taking on her steps.

Looking at it from afar, she seems to be a goddess in Luoshui, Ling Bo walks slightly, her body is flying quickly, and she is like a god.

Seeing this miraculous scene, the eyes of the people present all widened.

There are also people who bow to the ground in the direction of the palace, and the mountains shout long live, and their faces reveal almost god-like reverence.

As we all know, Princess Zhaoning is a mortal who has no cultivation.

This situation and this scene will naturally not be her handiwork, but like the ring rising in the water during the Lantern Festival, it relies on the power of the "Heavenly Dragon Array" in Luojing City.

In the cognition of the common people, the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array" is the same as the towering Luojing City Wall, which is a great deed created by Emperor Taizu of Great Qi with his otherworldly power.

It has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China and has always sheltered the residents of the capital from the invasion of ghosts and monsters from the outside world.

The inhabitants of the capital depend on it, trust it, and worship it.

It is great, it is magnificent, it is immortal.

"This time, the 'Luoshui Conference' will be presided over by the palace on behalf of the father," After standing still on the high platform, Xiao Wanjun, the princess of Zhaoning, turned to face everyone and said in a solemn tone, "It is different from the previous ones, and it will be held in the 'Tianlong Secret Realm'." ”

The rumors were confirmed.

The monks present looked at each other, and everyone's heartbeat quietly accelerated.

There are also people who feel a little lost.

Because they thought that on such a grand occasion as the "Luoshui Conference", they would have the opportunity to see the true face of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Great Qi still stayed in the deep palace and closed his door, only sending Princess Zhaoning as his representative.

"Perhaps in the eyes of a strong man like the emperor, retreat and cultivation and exploring the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are far more important than the 'Luoshui Conference'!" They secretly speculated in their minds.

Next, Princess Zhaoning began to introduce the rules of this Luoshui Conference to the monks.

She said that the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" is a special world, in which there are monsters and monsters, and there are also different laws from the outside world, which need to be adapted and explored by the monks themselves.

In the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm", the true strength of all monks will be suppressed at the same level, but it will not limit the monks' combat methods - that is, the awakened supernatural powers of the third realm monks, the natal objects of the fourth realm monks, and the out-of-body abilities of the fifth realm monks...... These are all working fine.

Participants will be teleported to any location in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" through the formation.

Each person will carry a special jade talisman.

If your life is in danger, you can leave the secret realm and return to the real world by crushing the jade talisman - of course, this also means that you will not be able to take the lead.

At the same time, the saints will also pay attention to everything that happens in the secret realm, and take action if necessary to avoid casualties.

Those who can pass the audition and advance to the main competition are undoubtedly the best from all over the country.

Of course, the Great Qi Imperial Court did not want to lose any outstanding talents.

"In the 'Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm', there is a silver wine twinkle hidden," I heard Princess Zhaoning look around at the monks present and continue, "The first person to find it will be the leader of this conference."

"This means that you need to explore its location as soon as possible, deal with the monsters around it, and defeat other competitors.

"On that silver wine tether, there is a special teleportation rune engraved.

"The first person to touch it will be teleported directly to the Imperial Treasury, and will be eligible to pick a treasure in the Imperial Treasury."

Exegesis:

(1) "Sake keeping", a vessel for holding wine, was used in ancient times to reward the victors. "Northern History: The Biography of Wang Shun of Wei Puyang" records: "With two liters of silver wine, hanging a hundred steps away, more than ten people who are good at shooting are killed, and the middle one is given." ”
