Chapter 25 Talent Gathering Order
As soon as Lu Qian heard that it was the waiting master of the county government, he hurriedly explained the matter at hand, and went to see him in the reception hall.
Master Hou looked very much like a monkey, sitting in the middle of the living room, when he saw Lu Qian coming in, he immediately stood up, and his voice was shrill and piercing: "I came on business with the order of Deng County." β
Lu Qian hurriedly gave up his seat: "Master Hou, please speak." β
"The emperor issued a holy decree and said that this year's sky is abnormal, and it is midsummer, but it is as cold as late autumn. If you taste the reversal of the four times, there will be a heavenly opportunity. The saint had a dream at night, and the fire god phoenix descended to my north beam, giving five fire feathers, scattered in the Qingming Mountain. That is, under the age of seventeen, the cultivation of young talents who have reached level five or above is looking for them, and the spirit of the five feathers will solve the suffering of hundreds of millions of people in Beiliang. Those who get the fire feather will be crowned as a former general, and they will be famous and famous, and they will be enjoyed forever in future generations. β
After Master Hou finished speaking, he looked at Lu Qian and continued:
"Mayor Lu, how many young people in your town are under the age of seventeen who have cultivated to level 5 or above? The Holy God has already said that all young people must contribute to the country, and those who hide and do not report will be decided. Master Hou asked.
"There are only two of them. One is the dog Lu Ming, who is sixteen years old. The other is Lu Hua, who is seventeen years old. β
Lu Qian knew that the holy decree sounded good, but in fact, he didn't know how many hardships and dangers he had to go through to find Huo Yu, and he didn't want to let his clansmen take risks, but he didn't dare not report it.
"Let them go to Beijing within five days to receive the Holy Order. If there is a delay, you are the only one who asks. He took out two tokens and handed them to Lu Qian. The token is exquisitely made, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and it is worthy of being made by the royal family, and the word "Jucai" is engraved on it.
"Yes!"
After waiting for the master to leave, Lu Qian returned to the gathering place of the clansmen, told everyone the notice he had just received, and sent the order to Lu Ming and Lu Hua, asking them to go home and prepare to go to Beijing.
Lu Ming went to the grave of the Land Rover to pay homage again, and then set off to the capital of Beiliang.
The territory of the Northern Liang Kingdom is thousands of miles, the people are billions, and the territory is wider than any country in the history of the earth. Dong'an County is not far from the capital, about four or five days away.
Four days later, the capital.
The streets are full of people coming and going, and the cars and horses are flowing endlessly, and it is a prosperous scene. The Northern Liang Kingdom has existed for more than 2,000 years, and its national strength is extremely strong, and there are many small countries around it that bow down to their vassals.
However, on the Shengyuan Continent, the Northern Liang Kingdom is not a monopoly. In the south, there is Pu Ji Guoxiong, and in the west, there is Zhu Xuanguo. The three countries are constantly in friction, and war is on the verge of breaking out.
Emperor Hao of Liang, the monarch of Northern Liang, has two most trusted ministers, one literary and one martial, known as the ministers of the two major forces of Northern Liang.
One is Mo Guxing, who is twenty and eight years old, although he is young, he has become the commander of the three armies, and the official worships the town and the country. Although he was not in wartime, he continued to reorganize his troops and horses. He also recruited countless cultivators to fill the army, making the army stronger than ever.
The other minister is the current prime minister, You Liang, who is now 63 years old, is in charge of national politics and has protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world. It is said that You Liang himself is a master of cultivation, and many of the civil officials he promoted are Taoist monks.
The relationship between Mo Guxing and You Liang is extremely delicate. On the one hand, the two talked and laughed in front of the emperor, friendly and friendly, but on the other hand, the two were secretly competing, both wanting to become the first celebrity in front of the emperor and trampling each other under their feet.
There are countless capable people under the two of them, and they have an intricate relationship with each other.
This time the climate in the world became colder, You Liang wrote that the sky was hanging and the vision was going to be a disaster, and Zhao asked the literati to help the immortals, and the result was that the hexagram said that the Northern Liang State was reckless and the armament was too tight, and the heavens were killing to show vigilance.
And Mo Guxing said in the book that the weather turned cold, but there was a phoenix bathing in fire on the Qingming Mountain near the capital, which was the beast of Kehan, and the arrival of such a divine beast was really an auspicious omen.
However, in order to solve this misfortune, it is necessary for the young man with the most potential to cultivate the truth to find the five fire feathers of the Divine Phoenix, combine the fire feathers together, and form a furnace to drive away the cold. Moreover, those who can obtain fire feathers must be blessed by the true gods, and they will become the pillars of the country in the future.
Emperor Hao of Liang adopted Mo Guxing's suggestion, so he ordered all the monks under the age of seventeen in the country who had reached the level of five or above to be summoned to help him find the fire feather.
You Liang saw that if this move was successful, the five young monks who got the fire feather would inevitably be talented and would be subordinate to Mo Guxing's command, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Mo Guxing and other generals, so he said that he had a knowledgeable person under him, and asked to select generals together.
The Bole he was talking about was named Mo Shi, and he was good at setting up a large array of Qimen Dunjia. You Liang said that those who can break the Moshi formation can be a marshal.
Mo Guxing and You Liang were intrigued, so they drove young people from all over the world to vote.
Due to the vast territory of the Northern Liang Kingdom, it takes more than 20 days for the farthest ones to arrive, so today we summoned the first batch of young people to arrive first.
Lu Ming was worried about obtaining the Qinglong chalcedony, but the Demon Spirit Secret Realm needed to be opened in half a year, and he could only go to Beijing to complete the task first. He planned to just deal with it and return to Dong'an County before the Demon Spirit Secret Realm opened.
He didn't bring a family servant, but Lei Shitong said that he wanted to go to the capital to see the world. Lu Ming was worried that he would go to Qingming Mountain and leave Shitong alone, he was afraid of danger, but he thought that she had a lot of means, so he agreed to go with the two.
Along the way, Lu Ming saw young people going to Beijing like carp crossing the river, all kinds of people, all kinds of people. The Northern Liang Kingdom has a vast territory and a lot of talents, and if you put any one in Lujia Town, you will be a genius in the sky.
Some are pot-bellied, some are energetic, some are arrogant, and some are obscene and treacherous.
There are many young people above the seventh level who have all kinds of strange hobbies, such as some people always drink with a wine gourd, some people fall asleep when they walk, and some have concubines with them, and they have physiological needs at any time, and immediately set up tents and start war......
Lu Ming was not surprised, knowing that these phenomena were all due to the skill of worship.
Some servants accompanied them in a group, some rode horses and hugged each other, some strode meteors and flew like flies, and some flew with swords and flying in the sky. Those who have cultivated to the highest level have already reached the ninth level.
Compared with these young boys from all over the world, Dong'an County is in a corner of the country, and Lu Ming and Lei Shitong obviously have too little knowledge.
Lu Ming and Lei Shitong arrived in the capital the night before, Lei Shitong was quite excited, kept looking left and right, saw the prices of various items, and kept smacking his tongue.
Lu Ming was looking at a sword, and Lei Shitong saw a pendant not far away, made of blue crystal, hanging around the neck to try it on, which was even more beautiful, but when he looked at the price, it cost one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and immediately put the pendant down.
One hundred and fifty taels of silver is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Lei Shitong.
Before Lu Ming could speak, a young man who looked like a boy picked up the pendant and put it in Lei Shitong's hand:
"Girl, you look so good wearing this pendant. You like this pendant, I bought it for you. β
The man was quite handsome, with his hair tied back, but a large tuft of hair on his forehead was drooping down, and it was dyed yellow, which looked like a flowing man.
Lei Shitong's face turned red, put down the pendant, turned around and left.
The young man leaned over and stopped Lei Shitong on the ground. Several family members who followed the young man couldn't stop coaxing:
"Little girl, our Young Master Lu has taken a fancy to you, you are really blessed. Haha......"
"Follow us Master Lu to eat and drink spicy food, and you can be a young grandmother in the future." β
"Little girl, you can go to Hezhou Mansion to inquire, our Lu family is a character who stomps and trembles in the local area. β
Lei Shitong flashed a few times, wanting to flash past the young man surnamed Lu, but was blocked in the middle by a group of family members, giggling and making trouble.
"Get out of here!"
Behind them, there was a loud shout.
It was Lu Ming who spoke out, and through the system, he had already seen that the surname Lu was called Lu Zhanlin, seventeen years old, and a ninth-level cultivator. And the cultivation of a group of family members is very low.
The family of the Lu family looked back and saw Lu Ming, and shouted, "Yo, where did the wild boy come from, dare to spoil our son's good deeds?"
Lu Ming walked into the crowd and grabbed Lei Shitong's arm, "I told you to get out!"
Seeing him so hard, a family member shouted: "Boy, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to provoke the Lu family in Hezhou!"
Lu Ming kicked out with his hand, kicked the family up, and lay on the ground humming and chirping for a long time and couldn't get up.
"Hmph, you're only a fifth-level cultivator, and you dare to show off in front of people?" Lu Minlin said coldly.
"What's the matter, you want to bully people by relying on the number of people to cultivate high?" Lu Ming didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and his voice was low.
"A small character like you is not worthy of Young Master Ben's shot. This ** Young Master Ben wants it, I won't bully you, I'll give you a thousand spirit stones!"
