Chapter 12: The Meeting of Ten
Sand City, the third floor of the quicksand garden. A white dove suddenly landed on Shangguan Fengyun's shoulder. Shangguan Fengyun took down a yellow note and looked at it, and said angrily: "Feng'er has arrived in the blue capital, it's just nonsense!" Rao is his extraordinary cultivation, and it seems that he is also very angry.
"City Lord, Feng'er has a flamboyant personality since she was a child, and she has always wanted to get your affirmation. He is not stupid, he may also want to contribute to Shacheng when he goes to Landu this time. An old servant behind him whispered. After a pause, he added: "Of course, there have been many beautiful people in Landu since ancient times, and there are hot men, and there are occasional greedy for beauty. ”
Shangguan Fengyun sighed and said, "Uncle Hua! The wind is not small, and she still thinks about expressing herself all day long, and even lustful and greedy all day long, isn't this itself an extremely stupid thing? ”
The one called Uncle Hua also bowed his head and was speechless.
After a period of silence, Shangguan Fengyun asked, "What do you think of Yun'er?" ”
Uncle Hua raised his head and said: "City Lord, the old slave family has been fortunate to serve Shangguan for generations, and has lived in Shacheng for a long time, and his knowledge is not a lonely widow, Yun'er is indeed the only martial arts wizard that the old slave has seen in this life." It's just that he is too weak by nature, although he has the body of a man, he is more like a daughter, and it may be difficult to chase the deer among the tigers and wolves! ”
Shangguan Fengyun sighed again, covered his head with his right hand and said: "The wind is like me, but it is not as smart as me, and Yun'er is like its mother, but it is only soft and kind." He turned to look at the bustling streets of Shacheng in the distance, and couldn't help but think, "I really hope that the meeting of ten people will be held again, and the time will allow the two sons to see the heroes of the world!" ”
Hundreds of years ago, the Five States Alliance and the Dao Heavenly Sect fought a war, and the vitality of both sides was greatly damaged. In a fit of rage, Dao Tianguan kidnapped the main leaders of both sides and ordered a halt.
Since then, the alliance of the five states has collapsed, and the states have not dared to communicate openly with each other, and there has been little contact between the states and the Dao Heavenly Sect.
However, the Dao Heaven Sect needs to recruit young talents from various states to pass on the teachings, and the states covet the Dao Tian Sect's divine power and power.
Therefore, the two sides agreed that the Dao Tianjiao would hold open competitions from time to time, and select ten people from the five states to join the sect, and after ten years, they would stay voluntarily, commonly known as the "meeting of ten".
In order to indirectly control the high-level leaders of each state, the Dao Heavenly Sect required at least one son of a city lord in each state to join the sect. In order to establish a relationship with the Dao Heaven Sect and strengthen their own strength, the city lords of various states are also willing to arrange for their juniors to actively join the Dao Heaven. At the same time, in order to ensure that the largest number of people in the state can be selected, the states will also actively publicize and select real talents from all over the state to participate in the showdown.
Among them, the most embarrassing is Luozhou, the Wen family has always been a single lineage, Wen Zhi eloped with the saint after being admitted that year, and he is still chased by the Taoist Sect and his whereabouts are unknown.
After Long Wei took over as the city lord, he was even more childless and had no queen. In addition, there is no decent sect in Luozhou, so most of the descendants selected are the children of Ran, Xiao, Guan and other big families. Over the years, few people in Luozhou have been admitted, and they have gradually lagged behind others in terms of junior training and power infiltration.
Time flies, the white horse flies, and it has been two years in the blink of an eye.
At the junction of Rongzhou and Huzhou, there is the largest lake in China, called Canghai. Canghai is surrounded by the largest archipelago in China, known as Canghai Islands.
The sea is like a pearl of Shenzhou, dotted in the belly of the Shenzhou continent, like the navel of a beauty.
Thousands of currents around the sea divide the land into numerous islands with dense forests and flocks of migratory birds.
Few people know that the headquarters of the Dao Heaven Sect is on these islands.
Because the waterways of the Canghai Islands are vertical and horizontal, intertwined, and shrouded in fog all year round, ordinary people often can't go far to get lost, so it is difficult to get a glimpse of the true appearance.
There is also an island in the middle of the sea, called Nanzhao Island, which is the largest island in the archipelago.
Nanzhao Island is flat and treeless, and the whole island is covered with inches of green grass, except for the white house in the middle.
This small three-storey building is made of white marble and white wood, which is rare in China, and has an elegant and mysterious style.
There are also three 10-meter-high crystal glass windows on the front of the small building, which lead directly to the roof from the ground, which is convenient for the characters in the hall to watch the sea and the sun.
There are four words engraved in the center of the top of the small building, saying "no way and no relatives", and the pen is elegant and elegant.
The small building is not like an ordinary residence, but it is not strange to say how weird it is, in any case, it is the residence of the Daotian Pope - the White Palace.
There were no guards at the entrance of the White Temple, nor did there be a walled gate, it was built on the island like that, and when you opened the door, you could walk along the lawn into the sea.
At this moment, a young man in white clothes and a high crown walked out of the white hall with a stack of letters in his hands. He walked steadily, his foot speed was even, so even that he did not slow down even when he reached the seaside, and he walked straight along the lawn into the sea.
Ten days later, the city lord of Wuzhou received a letter from the Pope at the same time, saying, "Wuzhou Taijian: My brother has been waiting and watching for a long time, and recently the talents of Shenzhou have been lurking, and they almost want to break out of the cocoon." If what my brother sees is true, this is really a blessing for my generation. We are in charge of today's Shenzhou, and we should think about the way of future generations and seek the blessings of the world together, so as to live up to the hopes of all sentient beings. The old brother dared to start the meeting of ten people again, and sincerely invited the heroes of the world to discuss the way of heaven. The book is not satisfactory, may my brother know it. Brother hates the water. ”
Hundreds of years ago, the five states fought with the Dao Tianjiao, and the Dao Tianguan angrily captured the heads of all parties. At that time, the Daotian Sect Pope Thunder and Lightning was captured, and his beloved disciple Yang Hatshui took over at an early age.
In the years that followed, in order to achieve their respective goals, the two sides reached a meeting of ten. The young Pope Yang hated the water, so he sent the first handwritten letters. At that time, because he was younger than the city lords of the states, he regarded himself as a younger brother in the letter.
Since then, it has been a common practice for Pope Yang to humble himself every time he writes a letter to the city lords.
But those who are a little sensible understand that Yang Hatshui has been on the throne for hundreds of years, but Wuzhou has changed several generations of city lords. There is really no contemporary city lord of the five states who can be called the same generation as the contemporary pope. The strength is even more difficult to match.
Although the Dao Heavenly Sect lowered its stature and gave enough face to the five states, what to do, the city lords had their own considerations in their hearts.
"What does the Pope mean when he says that the talents of Shenzhou are lurking and almost want to break out of the cocoon?"
This question sounded almost at the same time in the Five States City Lord's Mansion, and it was also the first question that the five City Lords had after reading the letter.
In fact, in the past two years, the states have been somewhat secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that they have produced one or two amazing and brilliant juniors in their houses, and they may be able to reverse the current trend in the future. Unexpectedly, listening to the Pope say this, it seems that there are many talented juniors in these years, and they are not the only ones? But if even they are worthless, how should those ordinary children deal with themselves, and what will be the future situation in Shenzhou? For a time, the city lords' mansions were either sighing or arguing or silent, which can be described as a mixture of flavors.
In his letter, the Pope specified the time of the Synod as the first day of the first month of the first month and the place on the island of Canghai Flatland.
Today is the tenth day of August, and the next few months are the time for the states to announce the conventions, organize the statewide registration and compete for the top three.
