Chapter 2: The Baptismal Day Supper
Today is the annual baptism day on the mainland, the so-called baptism day, which means washing away sins and ushering in light. This is to commemorate the 12 ancient emperors of the human race who led many sages of the human race to fight bloody battles and defeat demons, bringing millions of years of bright history to the human race.
On this day every year, all cultivators and civilians on the Xuanyue Continent will celebrate this festival together in their own unique way, civilians celebrate the year's good weather and their official career or business prosperity and pray for the next year's life, while cultivators generally invite family and friends to get together, the older elders will greet each other, discuss their achievements in the past year, exchange cultivation experiences with each other, talk about the more outstanding juniors of each family, and the juniors will be asked to show their cultivation achievements in the past year, and they will also exchange ideas with each other under the supervision of the elders, and the winners will receive some surprising rewards。 But there is no doubt that both the commoners and the monks will have a sumptuous dinner on this day. As the saying goes, eat gluttonously, drink heartily, and don't get drunk and don't return.
At night, the bright moon city, the bright lights, the prosperous scene on the street illuminated, the street pedestrians bustling, because the emperor wants to pursue a benevolent policy, treat the monks and mortals within their territory is very friendly, so the atmosphere of the bright moon city has always seemed to be happy, everyone is enjoying the rare leisure moment of this year.
There are all kinds of vendors on the streets, who take advantage of the opportunity to sell bits and pieces, which are of various types, some of which are just trinkets and household items for mortals. And some are items that cultivators will use, of course, these two kinds of people are generally scattered in two areas, there is a vacant space in the center of Mingyue City, which is extremely wide, this is Mingyue City's well-known Mingyue Square, the square is full of pearles, among which there are statues of Emperor Wu Xiuyuan and Mingyue Fairy, the demeanor is lifelike, showing the peerless style of the two of them, Emperor Wu Xiuyuan is wearing a black gold-patterned robe, looking into the distance, revealing a kind of domineering spirit in the elegance, Mingyue Fairy is dressed in purple palace clothes, looking like a fairy, with a little cinnabar in the center of his eyebrows, his expression is holy, and he snuggles up to Emperor Wu。
Surrounded by a piece of artificial lake, rockery clear spring, flowing water murmuring, and long pavilions staggered, inlaid with a brilliant crystal on it, all kinds of rare trees collected from all over the mainland, fire trees and silver flowers grow in this garden, like a fairyland on earth, every night of the year, the young generation of all the big families in Mingyue City will gather here, there is a restaurant near the square, named "listening to the wind building", built next to the water, pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, It covers a wide area, this listening to the wind building is the property of the emperor's family, the boss Li Yuan is a peripheral member of the emperor's family, hospitable, and the wine and food here are first-class, so the business has been very hot, but every baptism night, the older generation of the big family in Mingyue City will not come here, and will acquiesce to give this place to the younger generation, these new forces of Mingyue City, let them exchange feelings with each other, after all, the future of Mingyue City depends on them, only unity can make the future of Mingyue City stronger.
At the same time, the older generation of each family also has their own little abacus in their hearts, hoping that their descendants can make friends with the young leaders of other big families, if they form a marriage with a stronger family than themselves, it will bring a great boost to the family, so whenever this time, the older generation in the family will generally push the young people of their own family to Mingyue Square, of course, those old monsters will not do these things because of their identity, but they also did it back then, and even when they were young, they also came over like this.
In Mingyue City, close to an endless mountain range, there is a magnificent building complex, built near the mountain, magnificent, hidden in the fairyland-like clouds and mist, this is the scene caused by the countless shocking arrays carved by the ancient formation masters, and the worldly people can't even pass through the outermost phantom array, so for the people of Mingyue City, this is a real mirage. Divine majesty, inviolable.
This is the location of the real ruler of Bright Moon City, the Emperor Family. From the outside, the emperor's house is a majestic and vast building group built near the mountain, the depths are cloudy and mist, and the glow seems to be endless, in fact, this is also a fact, in which countless large arrays are superimposed to build countless large and small secret realms, protected by the blessing of the large array, extremely solid, but the scene caused is not a magnificent red can be described.
There is a very majestic building in the middle of the countless courtyards that can be called miracles, two huge fierce beasts outside the door are the guardian beasts, one is the eighth-level fierce beast three-eyed monitor lizard on land, and the other is the eighth-level fierce beast golden scale eagle in the sky, these two fierce beasts are placed in other places, either dominantly on one side, or are accepted by some big families as the combat partners of the core members of the family, here they are only used as the guardian beasts of the gatekeeper courtyard, "Xuanwangfu" , The shape is simple and domineering, but it is also consistent with the identity of its owner, because it is the residence of the head of the imperial family, and the current emperor Xuanzhi, the head of the imperial family, has achieved the peerless powerhouse of the martial king level at the age of less than fifty, and is also the youngest head of the imperial family so far by the family elders, which can be called a generation of heroes.
The emperor's family is also a giant existence looking at the entire continent, and it has become more and more prosperous after thousands of years, and the profound and terrifying heritage. No one knows which era of monsters still inhabit it, so in this era when there is no birth above the holy level, the head of the imperial family is enough to call for wind and rain on the mainland, but the heads of the imperial family in the past dynasties have been relatively low-key, and Di Xuanzhi has always rarely oppressed people as a resident, but absolutely no one and no force dares to despise him.
In the evening, the red glow reflects the red sky, the sunset sprinkles a layer of golden sand on this huge mansion, it looks like a heavenly palace, magnificent atmosphere, majestic, at this time, in a side room next to the living room, the family of five of the emperor's family is enjoying the baptismal day dinner, and there is a pretty personal maid dressed in jade gauze standing around.
The maid had a slender waist and pink cheeks, and was as dignified as jade, standing by the side with a crystal plate. For many people, this is the warmest time of the day.
"Qingfeng, Long Fei, Jingxian, let's go to Tingfeng Lou after eating, and see if the girls from those families are more clever this year, and strive to bring a daughter-in-law back for each mother." Mother doesn't mind family background, as long as you like it. The head of the family, Shangguan Huang, said with a smile, Shangguan Huang was wearing a purple gauze dress, her face was like a silver plate, her phoenix eyes were like silk, her smile was beautiful, her eyebrows were like spring mountains, and there was three points of warmth between her lips and teeth, although Shangguan Huang was nearly half a hundred years old, but because of her cultivation, the years did not leave too many traces on her face, and she looked like she was in her early thirties。
"Got it, mother. Emperor Qingfeng replied with a helpless smile.
"Qingfeng, you're not young, you're eighteen, don't think about cultivation all day. I think the youngest daughter of the third brother's family, Shangguan Wan'er, is very good, and every girl in the family is so brave, you should also have a snack. ”
Shangguan Wan'er is the daughter of Shangguan Huang's third brother, Shangguan Lingyu, and has been a childhood sweetheart with the three brothers of the emperor family since childhood. Like Di Longfei and Di Jingxian, they are all Di Qingfeng's little followers. And since he was a child, he has been shouting that he wants to marry Brother Qingfeng when he grows up.
As she grew older, the little girl of the year also grew up, and grew into a little beauty who fell into the country and the city, and the fish and geese fell, although she no longer followed the three brothers all day long, but she had a secret love for Di Qingfeng, but Di Qingfeng seemed to only take care of her as a little sister, and did not accept the girl's heart, which made the little girl secretly sad.
"Mother, I just treat Wan'er as a sister, and there is no love between men and women. Emperor Qingfeng replied helplessly, Emperor Qingfeng, as the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzhi, is dignified, eight feet tall, with a lofty spirit, wide eyebrows, and eyes like electricity. But in front of his mother, he was just a well-behaved big boy.
"Hey, what do I say about you, I don't have to say anything about your father in terms of cultivation, I am proud of you, but in terms of the relationship between men and women, I am like a lump of wood, like your father. ”
Di Xuan, who was lying on the gun unintentionally, opened his mouth and burped, smiled awkwardly with his white and beardless face, pointed to the delicacies on the table, and said, "Ah..., hehe, eat, eat." ”
He also loves and helplesss this lady, and always uses him as a punching bag.
"Okay, let's stop eating. After a while, Shangguan Huang glanced at Di Xuan with disgust, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and turned around elegantly and walked away.
Left behind the four people with big eyes and small eyes.
"What do you see, go out without eating, didn't you hear what your mother said?" the head of the imperial family began to show his father's majesty, put down his chopsticks and said.
The three of them had to eat silently, and after eating, they walked away stupidly, well, every time. Watching the three sons "with their tails" left the room, Di Xuanzhi showed a rare loving smile on his face, these three silly boys have grown up unconsciously. "Perhaps, Huang'er is right, it's time to set up a family affair for them. Di Xuanzhi said to himself.
He has fought countless battles in his life, and his position as God's family is certainly not based on bringing people and making friends extensively. relies on his profound cultivation, superior mind and strategy, and there is no lack of iron-blooded means. After all, the Emperor Family is not an ordinary family, it is a super-first-class Emperor-level family in the entire Xuanyue Continent. It is also at this time that in the face of close relatives, he will show an amiable side.
