Chapter 425: The Divine Capital is surging, and the Shangyuan Festival Feast
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Shuo is in the dynasty.
For ordinary people, the closer they get to the end of the year, the more anxious they are.
Those who owe money and short-term debts, looking at the urn without rice, and no silver at home, some are sad to hang themselves from their hearts, and some are hiding XZ, thinking about passing the New Year, and the time will come.
Those who are wealthy in their families always feel unsteady and busy with things to do when they paint white walls, paste window grilles, make pastries, and sweep the roof beams.
In short, firewood, rice, oil and salt, each has its own joys and sorrows, until the first day of the Lunar New Year, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief and can rest in peace.
The Chinese military officials of the DPRK were not so idle.
In the Wuji Palace, the law drove the honor guard, all the officials were crowned with court clothes, and the ancestors of the family and the head of the Dharma lineage all came in full costume to meet Emperor Yan and offer court salutes.
This is one of the ancient Zhou rites, representing the royal family and the family to rule the world together, and the Quartet respects the human emperor.
Of course, the atmosphere this year is a little spooky.
The ancestor of the family had a humble attitude, and His Majesty Emperor Yan spoke in a kind tone, bowing his head and saying nothing.
It seems to be harmonious, but in fact, they have their own plans.
The reform of the ancient Zhou rites has become a trend, otherwise the big ship of the human race will not last long, but how much to let and how much to retreat, in fact, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they are secretly unwilling.
Fortunately, there is another thing that resolves the embarrassment.
The founding ceremony of the Dihuang Sect.
This incident represents the orthodoxy of the human race in Dayan, and it is naturally huge, sacrificing heaven and earth, the three emperors, and the emperors of the human race.
The altar of merit of the emperor is full of incense, straight to the sky, and the ashes of the incense burned are piled into a hill, and there are witch cults and public inheritances to present the list, announcing that they have entered the emperor religion.
The whole day was noisy and noisy.
Wang Xuan naturally didn't join in the excitement, as he did last year, sitting in the main hall of the hall, accepting the congratulations of his subordinates, and generously giving rewards.
The servants who were hired temporarily received money.
The children of the Mo family, who were busy with the gods, got the spiritual object to redeem the ticket.
Many subordinates gave each other with magic weapons.
Subsequently, he took dozens of truckloads of wine, food and pastries to the camp of the Xiao Cavalry Army to celebrate with the soldiers of the government army.
As soon as it was late at night, he rode his horse out of the camp and took Ah Fu into the vast snowfield of Wolong Wild......
-------------------------------------
After the first day of the new year, Shendu City was lively again.
Visiting relatives and friends, making a little relationship, which one comes first, which one comes later, how many courtesies you have, how many hours you have to stay, all kinds of chickens and dogs, and the arguments are endless.
There is also an undercurrent surging in the court.
I don't know that, the news that the gluttonous Nine Army Great Seals have their own mysteries was revealed, and it stirred up a thousand waves for a while.
Some people unite in private, some people move around secretly, and there are a lot more large and small tea parties in Shendu.
At this time, someone discovered that Wang Laohu, the governor of Bingzhou who had stirred up the storm when he first entered the divine capital, had not appeared for several days......
"Where did Lord Wang go?"
In the hall of the Mo family's old house, Gu Yuan, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Liu Chengchuan, the governor of Bozhou, came together and asked anxiously.
Tu Su Ziming said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, the adults are going out to cultivate, but they have already explained, and this matter should not be moved." ”
Liu Chengchuan was a little uneasy, "These days, the families are connected to each other, I'm afraid that a lot of news has been found, although we will inevitably form a separate army, but the nine general seals have their own useful uses, if others take the lead, it will be troublesome." ”
Gu Yuan, the governor of Xuanzhou, pondered: "What the adult means, I may guess half a point." ”
Looking at Liu Chenchuan's puzzled gaze, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The prince has the sword of the king's master's public opinion, and the ambition of the emperor is established, and he must not be biased. ”
"And the news of this gluttonous seal leaked, it's a little strange, I heard that the negotiations in the central part of the country have broken up unhappily..."
As soon as he said this, Liu Chengchuan instantly understood.
Tu Su Ziming nodded and smiled: "Brother Gu is right, we just need to wait and see what happens." ”
Liu Chengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The two of you don't laugh, you can't change this anxious problem." ”
"Where."
Tu Suzi laughed, led the two to get acquainted with Xiao Zhongmou, and then drank and talked happily to discuss the armament together.
Before you know it, it's late at night.
……
Two hundred miles away from the Divine Capital City, wild and hilly.
After the New Year's Festival, the beginning of spring is approaching, the weather is warmer, although the heavy snow stops, but the cold night snow disappears, and the field is more cold.
The night sky is clear and full of stars.
In the valley, Ah Fu lay on the rocks, yawning, his ears twitching from time to time, listening to the movements of the nearby hundreds.
Not far from him, the starlight gathered like flowing water and fell into a snowdrift in the valley.
Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, and he had long forgotten about everything.
Previously, when he cultivated, the movement was really not small, either causing the cold ice to condense, or stirring the dragon vein qi.
And now, the breath around the body does not leak, even if the snow falls, it will not melt, and the Tao is more profound.
Leaving on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he conveniently cultivated here, threw away distractions, and forgot the passage of time.
The night sky roared, and a black shadow broke through the sky, and after flapping its wings and falling, the black shadow dispersed, and only then did Xiaobai's figure appear.
Xiaobai and Ah Fu glared at each other, and then twisted their butts and jumped a few steps, unloaded the bamboo tube, and waited quietly.
Two hours, the dawn of the morning.
The starlight of flowing water dispersed, Wang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the early sun that jumped on the horizon, opened his mouth and breathed it in, and the surging purple qi appeared out of thin air, swallowing it all into his stomach before he gave up.
Rumble!
The snow shells that covered the body exploded.
Wang Xuan picked up the two "Treasures of the Stars" array stones on the ground, and after checking them, he carefully put them into the cave Xuan's arm.
Looking inward, the white nine-turn robbery light in the dantian has grown one point stronger, more precisely, there is another layer of turbulent halo outside the robbery light.
This is a sign of the impending second turn.
When the Wuliang Mountain Society was in the Jiao Altar, he obtained a large number of Nine Heavens Stars, condensed and turned the light, and he was almost complete.
Now that he has obtained the "Treasure of the Stars" array stone, he has been practicing for a few days, and finally has the opportunity to advance.
But it's still far from it...
Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, with just two array stones, the starlight that could be attracted was extremely limited, and refining the starlight was even thinner.
The power of the stars required for the second turn is majestic, and it is necessary to find a few more pieces in order to condense as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he opened the Heavenly Dao Deduction Disk again.
The fusion progress of "Mixed Yuan Alchemy" and "Taixu Yin and Yang Jue" is 16%.
If you want to improve your strength quickly in the near future, you can only hope for a new method of performance.
Tweeted!
At this moment, Xiaobai screamed twice.
"The day after tomorrow is fifteen?"
Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, picked up the bamboo tube and opened it, checked the information one by one, and then looked thoughtful in his eyes.
"It seems that the pace of the royal family is getting faster and faster, but now that the family is at its peak, what confidence do they have..."
……
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.
Shendu City ushered in the most lively time of the year.
Before dawn, there was an edict issued by the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the city gate tower, and the curfew was lifted for three days in the Shendu City, and the royal gardens were open to the outside world to enjoy with the people.
At the same time, Emperor Yan set up a banquet in the Wuji Palace, inviting hundreds of civil and military officials and military talents from various places.
It is said that it is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but in fact, it has begun to be lively during the day.
Towering mountain sheds have been erected in various markets, lanterns are lined up, streamers are fluttering, shops and teahouses, and wine shops are no exception, raising money to erect high lamp mountains.
The tourists from all over the world live in the Shendu and endure the high house money, waiting for this day.
Painting disciples depict the legend of the fairy gods, make a carved painting, the common people shop to buy, if you can afford the price, you can also make a magic weapon, the painting is murmuring, the falling flowers are colorful, the maid is laughing, like a fantasy like a reality.
The children of the opera color sect, or performing along the street, whether it is shooting pills and swallowing swords, climbing ropes, or playing monkey illusions, hundreds of schools have their own unique skills.
The children of Liyuan set up large and small open-air theaters, whether it is the poignant and lingering "Mourning Under the Moon", or the superb martial arts and amazing illusion of "The River Demon of Sanjun Town", each shed is not the same, and everyone has something to eat.
All the markets are full of tourists, laughter and laughter.
For the people, the Shendu City seems to be more prosperous than in previous years, and even if they live here for a long time, they are dazzling.
But those who know the inside know that
Tonight is the main event.
The entire god is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the three armies of Yulin, Huben, and Xiao are ready to move at any time.
Among the dense tourists, there are clearly Wuhou Fangding patrolling around, and secretly, the criminal department, the public gate and even many military experts are all dressed up in disguise to look for suspicious people.
Externally, it is to prevent the destruction of the Southern Jin Dynasty spies.
But why, no one knows.
They have received orders that those who dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble today will be killed on the spot without interrogation!
……
By the time of the unitary, the sky was already dark.
Many markets can't wait to light up the lights, for a time, the lights converge into a river, criss-crossed, there are more folk operas, fire-breathing lion dance, lively and extraordinary.
Mingshanfang, the old house of the Mo family.
Wang Xuan and the others have changed into gorgeous clothes and are silently waiting for news.
Soon, Mo Xunchu hurriedly came and arched his hand: "My lord, the palace gate has opened, and all the families have left. ”
Wang Xuan took a deep breath, "Everyone, let's go." ”
After that, he strode out with Tu Su Ziming and others.
Xiao Zhongmou watched everyone leave, his eyes calm.
If the Xiao family had not fallen, he would have been one of them, but now he has already seen that he can protect the Miao descendants in the clan and show what he has learned, which is much easier than before.
On the Heavenly Street, there was already a crowd of people.
Wang Xuan and the four of them detoured to the official road next to the road, rode their horses, and came to the gate of the palace with a stick of incense.
At this time, there were already horse-drawn carriages coming and going outside, and all the civil and military officials were dressed in costumes, and after handing over the post, they strode into the palace.
Wang Xuan and others followed, led by the internal guards, through the palace walls and high gates, through the magnificent and solemn square in front of the palace.
The Wuji hall has already been full of people, full of friends, the magic instrument peacock lamp emits a scorching light, the sandalwood is faint, and the music bell and drum are ringing in unison.
A few people, under the guidance of the palace maids, came to the vacant seats below, after all, they are only the position of captains now.
The table has long been full of melons and fruit snacks, including northern Xinjiang pears and southern Xinjiang sweet lychees, and all kinds of exquisite pastries are piled up picturesquely.
Wang Xuan didn't care about eating and drinking, and as soon as he sat down, several people came to greet him, including Chen Leishan and other military acquaintances, as well as officials from three provinces and six departments who wanted to come to talk, and they became the focus of everyone for a while.
His face was calm, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
At the same time, many strange things were discovered.
For example, in Tongzhou, the annoying Shangguan Qiu is long gone, replaced by a handsome man, smiling at him and giving up his hands......
For example, in Liangzhou, Wei Chilong also gathered a lot of people around him, and the effect of releasing war beasts was amazing.
Now that the Wei family is popular and has war beast resources, who still remembers the Zhou family......
and that Luzhou Qiu Yin, carefully guarding Sima Wei's side, looking at each other's eyes like ghosts...
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth.
It seems that during the time of his cultivation, a lot of things have happened in secret.
At this moment, the drums beat in unison.
The golden auspicious beasts such as the unicorn and the green dragon on the vermilion pillar in the main hall were floating, and suddenly turned their heads to look at the center in unison.
On the throne, the golden mist surged, and the figure of Emperor Yan suddenly appeared, with a crown in a robe and a crown, although his appearance was old, his bearing was majestic.
At the same time, the crown prince and several royal princes also came out of the back of the palace at the same time, ranking on both sides.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
The civil and military officials all stood up and bowed their hands.
"You don't need to be polite."
Emperor Yan stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then slowly glanced around, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Today coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, and all the people celebrate..."
As he spoke, he paused suddenly, "There are some things that you already know, and this is the last time I will have a banquet for you. ”
Before he finished speaking, the prince's eyes were red.
Several ministers of the DPRK and China were even more tearful and deeply bowed their hands.
Everyone was silent, even the ancestor of the Luo family.
Emperor Yan Duguhong, who ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, worked hard and conscientiously throughout his life, no matter what interests were entangled, no one could deny that he was a generation of heroes.
Now it has set off the general trend of the unification of the human race, but it has not yet been achieved, but it has not lived enough, if it is not for the method of planting a foundation, it would have died at this moment.
The world is impermanent, and there is nothing to do.
Emperor Yan smiled freely, "On the last night, I just want to be lively, I know what you think, so I simply announce it first, so as not to have delicious food and wine." ”
After that, with a wave of his sleeves, a large number of nine small and ten golden lights suddenly appeared in the air, and there seemed to be a fierce beast roaring in the air, and the fierce aura came to his face......
