Chapter 134: A Sword Enters Luojing (1)
In the summer of the thirty-ninth year of the Tunan calendar, Luojing.
The seven-year Tunan Clan Conference and the seventieth Dongzhou Clan Festival are coming, and the prosperity and liveliness of Luojing, the capital of Tunan, at this time can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.
At the beginning of June, the clans of the Tunan Kingdom will first compete in the clan conference, and the top ten disciples and clans who win will participate in the clan event at the end of the month as contestants to determine the title of the strongest in Dongzhou.
For the people of Luojing, although they don't know what the clan grand meeting means, the storytellers and Jianghu people in Luojing talk about it all day and night, and the conversations and conversations on the streets and alleys also revolve around what clans, Fenghua lists, and conferences are carried out.
This grand event gathered the most outstanding young disciples from the entire Dongzhou Continent, and they will compete in Luojing.
Decide the strongest individual and the strongest clan.
The Taibai Hall from Wenjing Kingdom has already achieved the seventh consecutive hegemony of the clan grand event, and they are also moving towards their eighth consecutive crown, just to protect the title of the strongest sect in the mainland.
According to historical records, the first clan event was actually a martial arts exchange conference led by Taibai Sword Immortal and invited all the young heroes on the entire continent to participate, and since then, it has evolved little by little to today's clan event.
Although the suspense is not big, the whole river and lake will still be crazy for this grand event, just because at the end of each clan grand event, the Taibai Palace will take out the three copies of Taibai True Meaning in its collection for the disciples who have obtained the top ten to understand and experience the mystery.
Almost all of the top ten disciples in the past have made rapid progress after comprehending Taibai's true meaning, and the most advanced existence has finally been able to enter the realm of divine retention.
Some people once questioned that the clan event was just a show made by the Taibai Palace to show its own strength, but those who held this idea were all ridiculed by the entire rivers and lakes.
Each clan regards their own unique knowledge as the top priority, and never leaks it at will, but Taibai Hall is willing to take out the true intention of Taibai, the supreme treasure of Dongzhou, to share it with the most outstanding young people in the entire continent, this kind of mind is obviously far beyond the concept of showmanship.
The Taibai Hall is for the common progress of the entire Dongzhou martial arts community.
Only a very small number of clans are allowed to participate in the clan festival.
The three major clans of Wenjing Kingdom each have three places, and Taibai Palace, as the first clan in the mainland, has one more.
Although Wenjing and Qingyan have always been inextricably fighting, the two sides will always cease fighting every time there is a clan event. The Gyeon-kung kingdom in the north always has five places, which is also said to be strongly requested by Taebai.
"The people of the four seas are harmonious and different, and they should not be shunned because of their differences. ”
This is also the famous admonition of the Taibai Palace, teaching the disciples of the Taibai Temple to have the world in their hearts, to practice hard for the common people, and to chase the Great Dao, rather than just sticking to a narrow clan concept.
The top five winners of the Tunan Clan Conference are also automatically eligible to participate, and the original Tunan Clan Conference was only held to determine the number of places to participate in the Clan Festival, and then it slowly evolved into other meanings.
The other eight places will be contested by all the children of the entire continent, a total of thirty-three people.
Therefore, every time there is a clan event, there will always be a large-scale population movement. The children of the clans or people in the entire Dongzhou can be allowed to participate in the final selection as long as they are under the age of thirty, and in addition to the contestants, there are countless spectators who want to see the demeanor of the most outstanding young people in the mainland.
Even Luojing, the national capital, which has always been known for its vast style, is extremely crowded at this time.
The streets and alleys are full of all kinds of strangely dressed people, some from the Western Regions, some from the South, some from the North, and some from the small countries around Tunan Wenjing, all kinds of people speak all kinds of strange languages and shout loudly, even the most deserted shops on weekdays are very lively at this time.
A large population naturally brings a lot of business opportunities, and the shops in Luojing began to prepare as early as half a year ago, putting the latest and greatest goods on the shelves at this point in time, and making a lot of money.
The unprecedented prosperity of commerce will bring great pressure on transportation, although Luojing is located on the plains and is well connected in all directions. However, most of the trade routes were crowded with people from all over the world at this time, and it was difficult for large horse-drawn carriages to pass, which seriously affected normal transportation. Although there is a river around Luojing, because of the torrential rain since the beginning of summer this year, the river is overflowing, the water level has skyrocketed, and many small boats with a shallow draft have also lost their usefulness, and the remaining large ships are simply not enough to undertake so many transportation tasks.
The Chamber of Commerce is anxious to bring new goods into Beijing, and the transportation bosses are worried about how to open up new trade routes to alleviate such tremendous pressure.
On the other hand, because the number of people entering Beijing is far more than expected, Tu Nan Guo also set up layers of posts outside the four gates of Luo Jing, and implemented very strict inspections on everyone who enters Luo Jing, especially people of different races, anyone who wants to enter the capital must be comprehensively searched, hidden weapons, poisons and other hurting weapons must be handed over to Tu Nan Guo for unified management, and even the swords carried with him must be kept by Tu Nan Guo first, and will be redistributed to everyone after careful inspection.
Such strict scrutiny can be said to be unprecedented in the history of the clan grand event, and it has caused a very serious backlash at once, and many people in the rivers and lakes have accused Tu Nanguo of having no one in his eyes, distrusting the martial artists of the entire continent, and making trouble at the city gate in recent days is also common.
However, the officers and men in charge of the inspection were all treated equally, and they did not understand human feelings at all. In order to prevent trouble, each city gate was arranged with more than three Sea Viewing Realm masters to monitor it, and then it was directly arranged for the first clan of the Ten Masters of the Tunan Kingdom, several elders of the Taiji Sword Sect to sit at the city gate.
It is said that all these measures were ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tu Nanguo in order to prevent some destructive actions from being carried out in the eyes and ears of people through clan festivals.
Many people in the rivers and lakes laughed when they heard it, and they didn't think so.
What are you kidding, this is a clan event, a martial arts festival on the entire continent, who would choose to get along with the martial artists of the entire continent at this time? If someone wants to take advantage of this time to make trouble, isn't it equivalent to being an enemy of the clans of the world?
Despite this, the crown prince of the Tunan Kingdom still went his own way and stubbornly carried it out.
