South of the Clouds Chapter 22 The Adventure of Wankuling (Part II)
A horse-drawn carriage slowly passed through the lively market, and the people who saw the carriage consciously gave way for the carriage to drive on the street, and the carriage had already driven out of the market and slowly faded out of people's sight.
"I heard that the only son of General Zhenwei was sitting in this car eighteen years ago, and this year is the year of the dancing elephant, and the Taishi summoned this son to rush to the capital to appoint Beijing officials, which is amazing!" A middle-aged man looked at the end of the street, and there were more than a dozen middle-aged people of the same age around him.
"But no, if you can become a Beijing official in the year you just danced the elephant, what a great future you have in the future. It can be known that the smallest rank of the Beijing official is also a five-grade official, but if someone else becomes this Beijing official, I have to say something, but I have nothing to say about this son as an official. General Zhenwei single-handedly blocked the barbarian army of one million people at Ye Xiakou for seven days and seven nights eighteen years ago, thus giving the empire a chance to survive from that fear. It's just a pity that General Zhenwei and the 100,000 Tiger Ben army under his command all died on the battlefield. A middle-aged man stroked his beard, but his eyes were full of thought.
The black carriage slowly stopped at the gate of a mansion under the driving of the groom, and the plaque of the mansion reads "Taishi Mansion" in three big characters, solemn and solemn.
The housekeeper at the gate saw the carriage stop and immediately ordered the little guy next to him, and the little guy hurriedly ran to the house, and the butler walked to the carriage with a smile on his face.
At this moment, I saw a white arm stretching out of the carriage and lifting the curtain of the carriage. A young man walked out of the carriage, combing his long bun, a wooden bun through his hair, dressed in white, his face was green, but he still couldn't hide his handsome face, as if he was like a Confucian student, and like a fairy Linfan.
The family next to him hurriedly knelt down to act as a human stool, and the young man stepped on the back of the family and stepped out of the carriage.
The housekeeper on the side looked at the young man in a daze for a while, and it is estimated that there are few girls in the capital who can be handsome past the young man in front of him.
"Housekeeper, are we going to go into the house to see my uncle? The butler immediately shook his senses when he heard the young man speak. Hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the young master said is that the old slave will immediately lead the young master to the main hall." ”
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the young man walked into the Taishi Mansion, the house was full of greenery, and the maids were all performing their duties, tidying up the branches, feeding the koi, and wiping the guardrails.
Watching the housekeeper lead a young man into the house, they all looked at the young man curiously, and several maids couldn't help but blush when they looked at the handsome young man. Then he shouted in unison: "Hello young master." ”
The boy nodded with a smile and walked quickly to the hall with the butler.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the butler stopped, bent down and reached out to the door.
The young man smiled slightly, knowing that he had arrived in the hall, in fact, he was also very nervous, he was eighteen years old this year, but he had never been with his uncle. My uncle was a prince of the dynasty, and he was busy with government affairs in the court, but he didn't have time to go to his hometown to see his nephew.
When the young man walked into the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian shirt sitting on the main seat, and next to him sat a beautiful woman in palace clothes, this was the young man's aunt, Mrs. Ronghua, who had a three-grade commandment.
The young man bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Wang Yan pays a visit to his uncle." ”
"Hahaha, why does Yan'er need to be so polite, sit down quickly. The middle-aged man smiled and hurriedly asked Wang Yan to sit down.
Wang Yan immediately sat on the guest seat and looked at his uncle without humility or arrogance.
Wang Yan's uncle's name is Zhao Ying, he is the imperial master, and he has been in his position for fifteen years, and Zhao Ying has the greatest power in the entire Wei State in addition to the prime minister, and it can be said that the right is monstrous, and this time Wang Yan can enter Beijing as an official is also Zhao Ying mentioned it in front of Emperor Wei. Emperor Wei reigned for twenty years, and just two years after ascending the throne, he was besieged by the combined forces of the barbarians and the Jin state. The two armies together had a total of two million soldiers, and at that time the Wei State only had 900,000 troops, and the danger of destroying the country was imminent.
Wei Disi and General Zhenwei agreed to Zhao Ying's request to recruit Wang Yan to Beijing.
As soon as Wang Yan sat down, he heard a shout outside: "Wang Yan, Wang Yan, you are finally here, you want to kill my sister and me." ”
A young girl galloped into the hall,
The snow-capped mountains are silent, and the snow falls sometimes.
The Thousand Mountains Sect is a supreme sect in the Wuxiang Continent that has been inherited for 8,000 years, and a sacrifice will be performed every thousand years, which is the rule set by the Thousand Mountains Sect since the establishment of the sect.
Each sacrifice summoned several future disciples from the summoning array, and most of the summoned disciples were of good qualifications. These disciples don't know where they came from, but no one will ask where they came from, this is the formation laid by the ancestor of the Thousand Mountains Sect, the mystery of which can not be explored, eight thousand years ago it was a prosperous era of cultivation, ten thousand sects stood in the world, and the geniuses of each sect were not a few, that period of history was dazzling, and the ancestor of the Thousand Mountains Sect overwhelmed countless geniuses at that time, and finally he was also the only one who could fly to the upper realm, although there were many geniuses, but except for the ancestors of the Thousand Mountains Sect, none of them had ascended to the upper realm, and those dazzling worlds gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and at that time, the cultivation prosperity of the entire Wuxiang Continent was slowly weakening, the picture of the same world of ten thousand sects will no longer appear.
Due to the reason of sacrifice, every thousand years will be the most glorious moment of the Thousand Mountains Sect, people only know that the Thousand Mountains Sect will spring up a few peerless geniuses every thousand years, appearing in the heaven and earth with a peerless appearance, and it will also bring a wave of cultivation in the Wuxiang Continent, and there will be a few geniuses in each sect, and some sects will rely on these geniuses to lead the sects that should be three grades into two sects, and there will definitely be declining sects, and there will always be only those five who belong to the first grade sects for thousands of years. There are many genius disciples summoned by the Thousand Mountains Sect from the summoning array, which also makes the Thousand Mountains Sect have always been among the five major sects, although the strength of the thousand years has decreased slightly, no one will doubt the status of the Thousand Mountains Sect in this world, and the five most powerful sects in the world always have a place for him.
In addition to the Thousand Mountains Sect, the Five Great Sects also include the Ancient Sword Mountain, the Ten Thousand Law Sect, the Five Elements Sect, and the Lisheng Palace. Each sect will occupy a large area of the Phaseless Continent. The Thousand Mountains Sect is located in the southern part of the Wuxiang Continent and was built in the midst of a thousand mountains
The five major sects will have a disciple competition every ten years, and this is how the ranking of the sects will be made, and the Thousand Mountains Sect ranks at the bottom of the five sects.
In the main hall of the Thousand Mountains Sect, there are people sitting on the seven main seats, five men and two women, and above the middle seat sits an old man with white hair and long beard wearing a black robe fairy wind bones, the cuffs of the robe are embroidered with a golden silk dragon, the old man seems to close his eyes to recuperate, but his mind has been staring at the sacrificial summoning array in the middle of the main hall.
"Senior Brother Chief, this summoning array has been open for seven days, why hasn't anyone walked out of the array, if no one comes out after today, then our summoning will end in failure.
