Volume 1 The Wind Dances to the Sky Prologue
In the seventh year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yaojiang County, Junyang City, Junyang Marquis Mansion
The music was melodious, looking at the slender singer in front of him dancing, but Lu Youyou's eyes were hollow and godless, without the slightest hint of amazement. Leaning on the Purple Creek willow wood stool, his fingertips tapping gently on the wooden platform in front of him with the dance music. After a long time, Lu Youyou raised his head, and suddenly found that the dancing girls in front of him had changed.
Lu Youyou shook his head and smiled bitterly, waved his hand at the concubines who led the dance, and motioned for them to go out. only left the history of the mayor of the Hou Mansion who is still immersed in this enchanting and gorgeous dance music, Yan Zheng.
Looking at Yan Zheng's shaking his head, Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing. Yan Zheng was awakened by Lu Youyou's smile, and was stunned when he saw the empty dance hall in front of him. Then he got up and bowed deeply to Lu Youyou.
"Master Hou, the students are attracted by this slender dance posture and lingering music, and they are out of shape for a while, so don't blame Master Hou!"
Lu Youyou waved his hand and smiled.
"Hey, I know that Mr. is a man of wind and snow, so how can I blame him? It's just that I have something in my heart, although I have no intention of appreciating it!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Lu Youyou raised his hand and picked up two cream creams from the jade plate on the wooden platform. One was handed to Yan Zheng, and he leaned on the wooden back of the low stool and ate the other.
Chengtian Continent, since the opening of the Four Saints, has a long history! It has experienced the Four Saints, the Nine Emperors, and the Spring and Autumn Ages, and has been more than 10,000 years!
Today's world is divided into five, which are controlled by the five major dynasties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Western Qin, the Southern Chu, the Northern Qi, and the Great Zhou, and it has been more than a thousand years!
The Eastern Jin Dynasty is located in the east of the continent, and the whole country is rich in wheat. Rice, glutinous rice and other grains are very rare. Glutinous rice cakes are served with cane sugar and honey cream. The ingredients are extremely simple, and it tastes really quiet and elegant, refreshing and delicious.
"Master Hou, are you thinking about the 'Ascension Conference'?"
Yan Zheng tasted the cream in his hand, looked at Lu Youyou's thoughtful eyes, and smiled lightly.
"That's true, sir, have you read the texts of the nine royal families that have been passed down to the world?"
Yan Zheng nodded slightly. Lu Youyou threw the remaining half of the glutinous rice into his mouth, patted the residue on his hand, then sat up straight, stared at Yan Zheng and asked, "What does Mr. Yan think about this matter?"
Yan Zheng groaned slightly, thought for a while, twisted his hand on the long hair under his cheek, and said leisurely:
"Since the opening of Xuantian, this 'Ascension Conference' has been presided over by the Four Sages and held once every thousand years. In the era of the Nine Emperors, it has never stopped. However, thousands of years ago, the Nine Emperors ascended to the sky, and the Nine Imperial Families also left the mundane world almost at the same time, escaped into the mountains of Dongying, and sought the way of heaven. Otherwise, if the foundation of the Nine Imperial Clans is still there, I'm afraid that none of the Scholar Clan Gatelords will dare to rebel against their rule!"
"That's true!"
"Regardless of the Four Holy Generations, it is too long ago, and no one knows what the intention of this Heavenly Ascension Conference is! Every time they convene such a conference, it is nothing more than to redivide the resources of the rivers and lakes so that the Nine Emperors can divide and govern. A thousand years ago, the heavens were in turmoil and the world was in turmoil. The Nine Imperial Families were unable to divide the resources of the rivers and lakes, and no one mentioned the Ascending Conference. A thousand years later, stability has returned to the world. Relatively speaking, the countries can be regarded as national peace and security, but it shouldn't have much to do with the nine royal families. After a thousand years, these nine royal families have convened the 'Ascension Conference' again, what is indeed what they are asking for?
After listening to Yan Zheng's analysis, Lu Youyou nodded slowly. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his head and said what was in his heart.
This is also what Ben Hou thinks in his heart. If the Nine Great Imperial Families followed in the footsteps of the Nine Emperors, really had no intention of doing miscellaneous things, and were dedicated to cultivating, why would they hold the 'Ascension Conference' again after a thousand years? Moreover, this inscription was jointly transmitted by the Nine Great Imperial Families and the Three Holy Lands, and the main hall of the Taiyin School Palace was in the territory of our Great Jin Dynasty.
Yan Zheng shook his head.
From ancient times, this ascension conference was held by the three holy places, and the venue was also the 'Heavenly Court Crown' of Daozun and the empress. Actually, the three holy lands in this text are nothing, but the person who unites the three holy lands should be the royal family of the five kingdoms of Chengtian! How can it be the nine great royal families who have long been far away from the mountains?"
Hearing this, Lu Youyou's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Thousands of years have passed, the situation has changed dramatically, and it is no longer the nine royal families that ruled the world that were high up in the past. It stands to reason that they have lost the qualifications to convene the 'Heaven Ascending Conference', so what is the reason why the Three Great Holy Lands are still willing to unite with them? Could it be that the Nine Great Imperial Clans have really produced the Holy Talents that can climb the Heavenly Dao?"
"Maybe so! Hahaha! Master Hou, in fact, it is not beneficial for you and me to think too much about this matter, because such a grand event is a joy for the people of the world. Even if there are really any difficult questions to solve, will it still stop the yearning of the people of the world?"
Lu Youyou pursed his lips noncommittally, supported his hands on the ground, and slowly stood up. He shook the folds on his robe, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing as he watched Yan Zheng, who was also sitting on a low stool, struggle twice and not stand up.
"Mr. Yan, your body really needs to be exercised diligently!"
Yan Zheng, who was pulled up by Lu Youyou, smiled awkwardly and raised his hand slightly towards the door. Lu Youyou shook his head helplessly, and the two of them slowly left the dance hall one after the other.
Yan Zheng was two steps behind Lu Youyou, and seeing that Lu Youyou didn't speak for a long time, he thought that he was still thinking about the "Ascending Conference". So, he stepped forward and whispered in Lu Youyou's ear: "If the Hou Ye is really not at ease about this matter, the student will leave a letter to my teacher and ask him about it?"
Lu Youyou paused, muttered thoughtfully, and then turned back to Yan Zheng and said, "Well, I really want to take a leave of absence, but it's not for this 'Ascension Conference'. And I'm for my cousin, Gu Cangsheng. ”
Looking at Yan Zheng's slightly puzzled expression, Lu Youyou turned around and walked towards the study, while continuing faintly: "My cousin is feared by others and has lived in a city for many years. If it weren't for my personal invitation, I guess he wouldn't have had a chance to come to my place to visit his relatives!"
"Is Master Hou talking about the third day of April next year, the birthday of the eldest grandfather?"
"Not bad!", Lu Youyou nodded, "Although, my father and mother and I both hoped that the common people could come, but after all, there was no invitation by name on the invitation. With Old Prince Gu's attitude towards the common people, if this matter is regarded as the ordinary communication between the Gu and Lu families, then eighty percent of the candidates who come to Junyang will not fall on the heads of the common people. ”
"Then what does Master Hou mean......?"
Lu Youyou turned around, looked at Yan Zheng and said seriously:
"Mr. is not allowed to do it for him, and Ben Hou will personally take a letter of resignation. As the Marquis of Junyang, I invited Gu Cangsheng, the prince of the Eastern King of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to come to the Lu family for a while! Sir, you are responsible for spreading the contents of my letter, so that both the Jin and Zhou countries will know the news before they can make the trip! What do I mean, sir?"
"Students understand! It's just that this is just an ordinary visit to relatives and friends, and it is really ...... to go so hard."
Lu Youyou sighed.
"Nine Dragons Pantian, what a talent? Now there is only a monstrous fear left! It is also rare for him to be in the wind and snow, it is really not easy! If you can invite him here this time, it can be regarded as letting him relax."
"The name of the common son is asked all over the world, but he is bitter in his heart, how many people can know it?
"Maybe!"
The voice fell faintly, Lu Youyou and Yan Zheng walked one after the other, strolling in the "Plum Pavilion", and said nothing to each other. The cold light of the lack of moon sprinkled on every delicate face next to the pavilion, and the clear and enchanting petals were scattered on the winding path, unyielding and noble.
The two of them walked farther and farther, and their figures gradually blurred, leaving only shadows, which were getting longer and longer!
