Along the way, I followed the big team to the Posa Lake, the bright moon hung high, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the lake, making the lotus platform more mysterious.

Several pleasure boats on the lake enclose the lotus platform in the center, drawing an irregular circle.

The altar has already been set up on the stage, waiting for the selected talented and beautiful women to come to the stage to offer wine.

All the red chips are gathered in one place, and there is a special flag officer to do the counting.

As Changping said, there is only one beauty, and this year is the same, there is no doubt that she is a concubine.

It's just that I don't know who this person is.

In anticipation of everyone, the flag officer read out the name of the talented man.

"The prince of the Southern Prince, An Qingfeng. ”

The crowd cheered.

Qinghe and a few people looked curiously at the altar, only to see a handsome son walking on the boat and slowly moving towards the lotus platform.

Qinghe touched his chin: "I haven't heard of this prince, what is the origin of this King of the South?"

There was no one around to answer her, apparently Changping was not there, and they lost their guide.

Someone in front of her heard her question and kindly answered it for her.

"This King of the South is amazing, he is the pillar of our Apocalypse Country, and his military achievements are outstanding, I think it was he and his father who fought on the battlefield and took over the territory, so that there is today's Apocalypse Kingdom, although the King of the South is old, but his status in the court is above ten thousand people under one person!"

"Oh," Qinghe nodded, "I see." ”

The man continued: "Nanwang's family is illustrious, and he is also a man of temperament, when a girl who wandered to the capital, Nanwang fell in love with her at first sight, and said that he would not marry her, but the old prince strongly objected, saying that the door was not right, and a beggar was not qualified to enter the palace, but Nanwang didn't care about it, and took the girl to elope, the old prince only had such a son, how could he be willing, and finally agreed to this family business. ”

Qinghe listened to it, so he simply sat down at the nearest tea stall and asked for a cup of tea, drinking and listening.

"That girl must be beautiful, right?"

The man slapped his thigh: "But it's not! When that girl was living on the streets, I also helped her, that look, it's like a heavenly girl descending to earth! Parents have such good looks, and the children born will naturally not be bad, look, this An Shizi is one of the top ten beautiful men in the capital." ”

"Ahem...... Qinghe was choked by the top ten beautiful men, "Top ten beautiful men?"

"That's right," the man also sat down and said, "This An Shizi is ranked third." ”

Qinghe raised his eyebrows, covered his mouth with a fan, and muttered: "You guys really knew how to play in ancient times." Then he said loudly, "Who is the number one, and why wasn't he chosen?"

The man said, "First, that's the one." He pointed in a direction, and Qinghe looked up and saw a side face at the front of the shore of Po Sa Lake.

"That is the youngest son of the lord of the country, he is very favored, and he has no choice for his appearance, but his temper is not very good, so he will not be selected. ”

Qinghe was clear, although there was only one side face, but he could vaguely see the angry and unwilling expression on the face of the first beautiful man.

The talented and beautiful woman has already appeared, and the two good-looking beauties and handsome guys stand together to enjoy the eyes, and the cheers from the audience have reached a climax. Qinghe was in it, and it was as if he had come to a singer's concert in a trance.

In the distance, Mo Zhan's eyes were cold, and the corners of his lips were smiling, staring at the altar. After a moment, he tilted his head.

The attendant beside him immediately understood, pinched his throat, and shouted, "The altar sacrifice wine begins!"

A salute rang out in the sky, and all the people of the Apocalypse Kingdom seemed to have heard the call, and they all knelt down one after another, and reverently shouted loud slogans-

"Lu descends to heaven, moistens all living beings, all believers pray, and heavenly officials bless!"

The spectacle is spectacular, shocking, and impressive!

The shouting touched the eardrums of several people, who watched the scene without any words.

The lotus platform is surrounded by faucets, and the water gushes out, An Shizi and Concubine Cheng sprinkle the best Longtan wine to the ravines on the altar, and the wine flows along the ravines, flows to the faucets, and merges with the lake water, and the water flows endlessly.

The meaning of sacrificial wine is to pray for blessings. This is the amber that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is worship, it is faith.

Even in the world of cultivation, it is inevitable.

Faith is good.

It lasted for more than half an hour, until the end of the sacrificial wine, Qinghe seemed to be able to hear those few slogans in her ears, she patted her ears and shook her head.

Next to him, Li Jiang Mudong was also doing the same action, at first glance, it was a bit funny.

Mo Junqian's gaze stayed on Qinghe, and seeing that her gaze never looked at him, she lowered her head, her expression a little gloomy.

So he didn't notice that Qinghe was looking at him with a slightly complicated gaze.

Suddenly, Shen Xun pulled the corner of her clothes and pointed to the sky: "They are here." ”

Qinghe looked at the trend, and a starry light was shining.

In the next moment, a red light crossed the sky, and the phoenix luan was driving, like a rainbow.

Someone exclaimed, "It's the Apocalypse Academy! The people from the Apocalypse Academy are here!"

Before the words fell, everyone looked up at the sky, and the monks who had come to the capital before were also excited.

The demonic beast landed, setting off a gust of wind and waves, and Qinghe recognized the demonic beast as a nine-headed fire phoenix.

Someone next to him discussed: "Look, it's actually a high-level demonic beast nine-headed fire phoenix! Could it be the dean?"

"It seems to be, but the dean has never participated in the previous flower festival wine, so why ...... this time?"

Qinghe frowned, could it be that the dean of the Apocalypse Academy is here?

I have the impression that the dean of the Apocalypse Academy in the book is just a soy sauce trick, I don't know what role he will play now that the plot has changed?

In the distance, a person came down from the demonic beast, elegant gray shirt, middle-aged appearance, a small strand of white hair on his head, his expression was indifferent, and he did not smile.

This person is the dean of the Apocalypse Academy, Zhuge Hongming.

As soon as he landed, Mo Zhan walked a few steps away to greet him, and said, "The dean can visit in person, I am very relieved!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wanted to pat his shoulder to show his kindness, but Zhuge Hongming dodged sideways, and he said lightly with a straight face: "The lord of the country is serious." ”

Mo Zhan left his hand and smiled a little awkwardly.

A young man dressed as a disciple on the side came out at the right time to play a round: "I haven't seen the lord of the country for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Mo Zhanli looked at the young disciple and said, "Oh, it's Luo Fan, you kid has matured a lot, and your cultivation has grown again, and the future is promising." ”

The man named Luo Fan smiled embarrassedly: "Don't praise me, lord, in terms of cultivation, you and your master are the best in the world." ”

If he was a sycophant, Zhuge Hongming was not touched at all, but Mo Zhanli was quite useful, and said with a straight smile: "You kid!"

The attendant next to him reminded Mo Zhanli that several important people moved towards the palace surrounded by everyone.

The people gradually dispersed, and only Qing and a few people remained in their place.

Qinghe turned his head to look at Li Jiang and saw that his face was serious, and he lowered his head thoughtfully.

Qinghe patted him on the shoulder and said, "You didn't expect Zhuge Hongming to come, right?"

Li Jiang nodded: "I really didn't expect that a person of his status would never come to participate in this kind of folk ceremony, he must have come for the Divine Pearl this time." ”

Mu Dong didn't know when he bought the pastry, stuffed a piece into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and said: "I just don't know if it's friend or foe, if he helps us, plus his relationship with the Lord of the Apocalypse, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Li Jiang took away his pastries and said in a cold voice: "I said it, the relationship between the five doors is unusual, maybe the mysterious person behind the scenes has already planted eyeliner in it, and the matter of finding the divine bead must be carried out in secret, and it must not be rash." ”

Mu Dong snatched back the pastry and pouted: "I know, I know." ”

Li Jiang shook his head helplessly, and turned to Qinghe again: "In short, you have to be careful." ”

Qinghe gave him a reassuring look and looked away, his wandering gaze passed through the dissipating crowd, his gaze swept over Zhuge Hongming in the distance, and landed on the nine-headed fire phoenix beside him.

Qinghe stared at it for a moment, his eyes inquiring.

A high-level magical beast like the nine-headed Flame Phoenix has strong spiritual power and developed spiritual intelligence, and can already think independently and even speak human language.

At this moment, it felt that someone's eyes were staring at it, and its blood-red eyes turned, slowly turning its neck, and looking at Qinghe's position.

The eyes were staggered, and from a long distance, Qinghe could feel the belligerent elements and irascible temperament in its blood, as if it could rise into anger at any time and fight a big battle.

It's not easy to subdue such a monster.

"But......" Qinghe pursed his lips and said to himself, "If I have it, it will help a lot in the future......"

A moment later, the nine-headed Flame Phoenix was taken away by Zhuge Hongming's entourage, and Qinghe kept staring at it until it was completely out of sight before retracting his gaze.

The people on the street dispersed quickly, and they probably tossed for a day and went home early to rest, but for them, the main event had just begun.

Li Jiang and Mu Dong left first, ambushing outside the palace in order to respond, while the remaining three entered the palace for a banquet with Changping, who came to find them.

On the way to the palace, Changping chattered endlessly, telling them about the rules of the dinner, and Qinghe listened to her while observing the surroundings.

The palace wall compound, the glazed bricks and tiles, and the majestic and beautiful palace are scattered with heavy low pressure.

As soon as he stepped into this place, Qinghe felt uncomfortable, maybe because of the layers of enchantments that lay here, or maybe because he didn't have a good feeling for this kind of place made of blood and human bones.

Although they are different from the imaginary palaces, they all feel constrained and cold all the same.

Costume TV, honestly don't deceive me.

Just as he was distracted, Changping suddenly dodged in front of Qinghe, and Qinghe stopped suddenly.

Changping pouted, a little cute: "Have you remembered what I said?"

Qinghe smiled at her: "Don't worry, I won't trouble you." ”

Changping was shaken by this smile, blinked, and said with a smile: "That's good," she grinded her feet and rubbed against Qinghe's side: "Actually, I don't think you are causing me trouble......"

The voice was a little small, and Qinghe didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Changping stuck out his tongue: "It's nothing, let's go quickly." ”

"Hmm. ”

Overhead, several crows flew overhead, and the desolate cry heralded the beginning of the night.

Tonight is destined to be an unusual night.
