Chapter 11 The Beginning of the War

As the Inner Dan obtained from You Fang Zhenren became less and less, Yan Jingchen's cultivation also skyrocketed by leaps and bounds. The time superposition brought by the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws allowed him to break through to the eightfold Dao Realm in one fell swoop in just over two months, and vaguely touched the threshold of the ninefold.

Within the sea of knowledge, the 'Dao Seed' has transformed into a verdant sapling, and the veins on each leaf are slightly different, and every time Yan Jingchen looks at it, he will have a feeling of great understanding.

On this day, Yan Jingchen took out the last Neidan from the wooden box, and as soon as he integrated it into the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, the voice of the village chief came from outside the cave, "Once you drink hatred and grief, why should a man complain about the lack of heaven." The sword points to the avenue of illusion and destruction, and the day of breaking the enemy, stepping on riding boots. ”

Hearing the village chief's voice, Yan Jingchen hurriedly came out of the cave to greet him, "Village chief, why are you here, aren't you just going to Qingyuan Festival tomorrow?"

The village chief's eyes swept Yan Jingchen, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, and his face showed approval, "Pack up your things, let's go to Zhang Sanhu in the city." ”

Luoyu City, among the county guards.

In the living room, the village chief and Zhang Sanhu sat on the upper seat, and Yan Jingchen and another young man in white sat at their bottom respectively. Looking at the dress of this young man in white, it is obvious that he was born in a wealthy family, white as snow, handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament is even more personable, no matter from which point of view, there is a feeling of perfection, as if he came out of the painting.

"Mr. Yan, this is the dog Zhang Daohong. Daohong, don't hurry up and salute Mr. Yan. Zhang Sanhu pulled up the young man in the lower position and introduced it to the village chief.

When the young man heard his father's introduction, he hurriedly got up and saluted, but was stopped by the village chief waving his hand, "I am just a cloth cloth, so I don't need to be so polite." At present, the conspiracy of the Baili family has surfaced, and this time, the final election of Immortal Emperor City must not allow their people to win the championship and enter the five major sects of Immortal Emperor City. ”

"For the quota of the final election of Immortal Emperor City, the county guard will fight with Jingchen on the side of the county guard. According to the final list of registrations, the candidates for the Thorn Shi Mansion are Bai Shengluo, the younger brother of Mrs. Thorn Shi, and Li Xiang, the nephew of Thorn Shi. The military department selected two young captains to accompany Rong Wu Qinghe and Lu Baichuan. Coupled with the quota that the Baili family got from Xuanshengmen, we are now at least a two-to-five situation. Zhang Sanhu said unhurriedly about the current situation of this Immortal Emperor City runoff.

"Don't forget that there are also those sects that have collected money from the Baili family, so they should use the rules to encircle and suppress us. The village chief voiced his concerns.

"Mr. Yan, please rest assured, as long as I and Brother Jingchen are staggered in the preliminaries, I will be confident that I will be able to break their conspiracy to infiltrate Immortal Emperor City. Zhang Daohong stood up with his head held high and assured the village chief.

Seeing that Zhang Daohong had sworn to issue a military order, the village chief said with praise, "It is really a tiger father without a dog! Your father has already prepared for the things in the order, so you don't have to worry." ”

At this time, Yan Jingchen, who had been silent since he entered the door, asked, "I want to personally slash Baili Mo, I don't know if Lord County Shou can do some means." ”

Zhang Sanhu first glanced at the village chief, and when he saw that he closed his eyes and didn't answer, he said, "Regarding this matter, the Baili family will arrange it for you." ”

Yan Jingchen was stunned suddenly, and couldn't figure out why the Baili family would arrange this matter for him. Zhang Daohong, who was sitting opposite, preemptively answered his doubts, "The crime of poisoning Baili Hao and Song Yiqiao is now all on you, this is something that all the monks in Luoyu City know. ”

After listening to Zhang Daohong's explanation, Yan Jingchen suddenly understood the merits, no wonder they would say that when they met Wu Qinghe from You Fang Zhenren. "Everything is right and wrong, the strength in the ring speaks, this kind of trivial matter of telling right and wrong, let future generations comment. ”

The four of them talked in the living room for a while, and someone came in to report that the regulations for the year-end assessment of officials at all levels in Luoyu County had been sent to the public office and needed Zhang Sanhu to deal with it, so Zhang Sanhu hurriedly got up and said goodbye and left.

Zhang Daohong led Yan Jingchen to walk in the luxurious mansion of the county guard's mansion, his realm had reached the ninefold peak of the Dingdao realm, and he was just able to answer some of Yan Jingchen's questions about cultivation, "Yan Daoyou, I heard that you have been practicing in the mountains for several months, why don't we go to the city for a walk, tomorrow is the Qingyuan Festival, according to the customs, you should also say goodbye to the old and welcome the new." ”

Yan Jingchen looked down at the obviously ill-fitting clothes on his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Then there is Lao Zhang Daoyou." ”

At this time, on the streets of Luoyu City, red lanterns were hung in front of every house, and loud firecrackers came and went, and the festive atmosphere was filled everywhere. After walking around from the most prosperous commercial street, Yan Jingchen is already refreshed, because the dusty temperament brought by Xiuxian makes him look a little bit like a son of a family in the eyes of others.

Passing through the bustling streets, the two arrived at Triumph Square in the middle of the city. At this time, due to the decisive election of Immortal Emperor City, there were guards on all sides of Triumph Square, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. But with Zhang Daohong, the young master of the county guard, getting in and out has become a very simple matter.

Walk into the Triumph Square is the first thing that catches your eye is a stone tablet standing on the square, it is said that this stone tablet is erected by Li Shenghao, the Holy Emperor of the Yunzhou Empire, when he led the army to retreat the Cangli Empire to the west of the Luoyu Mountains, when the class returned to the dynasty, he set up this monument in the Luoyu City, the inscription reads: For a hundred years, the heroes of the world have gathered in my Yunzhou Dynasty, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles and the four fields are peaceful, and the people are pacified and the eternal prosperity is established.

"The Holy Emperor's spirit is truly lonely for eternity. Yan Jingchen stood in front of the inscription and stared blankly.

"Let's go, let's take you to see the ring of tomorrow's runoff. ”

Bypassing the stele, there is a huge square, in the center of the square there is a 30 zhang square high platform, surrounded by a circular artificial river about two zhang wide in the middle.

"This is the decisive Sendai, and the final election of the Immortal Emperor City will be held here tomorrow. There is a protective magic circle hidden in this circular river, which is usually not open to the public at all, and it will only be opened on the day of the final election of Immortal Emperor City," Zhang Daohong chattered about what he knew.

After passing the high platform, there is an attic called the Overseer's House. If you look down from the sky, you can find that the stone monument, the high platform, and the attic are on the central axis of the entire square, which makes people have to admire the wisdom of the people who built the city.

Just when Yan Jingchen and the two of them were wandering around the square, several people in different costumes came to the high platform, and one of them, a tall man with a full beard and a big face, jumped up and wanted to climb the high platform, but an invisible barrier blocked his leap, making him fall into the artificial river with a thud, causing a huge splash.

Several people in the same group gathered to the marble waterbank, watching the big man splashing in the water, one of the girls couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Brother Wang Dong, is it cool in the water?"

"An unseen water dog, what's so nice. A teenager in a loose green robe sneered as he stood away from the crowd.

Hearing the ridicule of the young man, all the people who came with him looked at him angrily, and Wang Dong, who had just climbed out of the water, jumped to his feet and scolded, "You are a fucking dog, if you weren't for the brother-in-law of Thorn Shi, Lao Tzu would have beaten you a long time ago." ”

Under the gaze of everyone, the green-robed young man walked slowly towards Wang Dong, above his palms, there was a very faint light flashing, it was difficult to be found if he didn't look carefully.

"Bang!"

The big man who took Wang Dong was slapped to the ground by the green-robed young man. Yan Jingchen watched all this quietly from a distance, "It's the 'Falling Sky Palm'!"

The green-robed young man directly straddled Wang Dong who fell to the ground, snap, snap, snap, snap, and slapped Wang Dong in the face one by one, "Put your mouth clean in the future, and then let me hear you scolding, and cut off your tongue." ”

Wang Dong lifted his beaten face like a pig's head and said in vague language, "I'll never fucking scold people again." ”

The green-robed young man raised his hand in anger and was about to fight again, but was stopped by a person next to him, "Young man, there are still people watching next to you." ”

The green-robed young man raised his head and looked at Yan Jingchen, obviously he knew Zhang Daohong. let go of Wang Dong under him and said to everyone, "Let's go back, it's really annoying here." ”

Seeing the green-robed young man leading a group of people away, Yan Jingchen asked, "Who is this person who has practiced the Falling Heaven Palm to such an extent?"

"He is what his father said about Bai Shengluo, and it is said that he is not the brother-in-law of Thorn Shi at all, but the son of Mrs. Thorn Shi and other men!" Zhang Daohong added a sentence after the extremely gossipy.

"It seems that this time the final election of Immortal Emperor City is really full of masters. Then let's stop wandering around here, let's go back and get some preparations. After the two left, the Triumph Square was empty, but everyone knew what a grand spectacle awaited them tomorrow.

When the morning sun falls on the earth, the Qingyuan Festival arrives as scheduled. Early in the morning, the city's opera troupes prepare a variety of theatrical performances, and the lion dance is one of the most popular, with lions of different colors performing various movements to the deafening sound of gongs and drums.

The team of theatrical performances set off from the county guard's mansion, all the way along the wide stone road of the street, and came to the Triumph Square, where there are several prepared plum blossom piles, and the lion dance is a difficult action to attract the surrounding crowd to applaud continuously.

Just as people were full of praise for the lion dance procession, an army in new armor in the distance lined up in a neat phalanx towards the square, and behind the phalanx, the county guard Zhang Sanhu and a yellow-faced man rode side by side and followed.

"Brother Li, please go up to the attic for a rest first, and after I open the final election ceremony for Immortal Emperor City, I will go and have a long talk with Brother Li. ”

"Brother Three Tigers, you and I are both imperial officials, so you don't need to be so polite. ”

This yellow-faced man is none other than Li Yufeng, the assassin of Luoyu City, who is not only in charge of all the military in the city, but also has a relationship with the royal family. He turned over and dismounted, and his body was a little weakly supported by someone to go up to the attic, and the famous families in Luoyu City above the attic had already sat down, and when they saw the arrival of Lord Thorn Shi, they got up to greet him.

When the team of theatrical performances saw the arrival of the county keeper, they immediately stopped the performance. The crowded crowd in the square also consciously retreated and made a way.

Zhang Sanhu stood in front of the high platform, holding the seal in his hand. Break through the protective circle. As soon as the body jumped, he stood on the high platform, and the crowd under the stage instantly quieted down.

With everyone's expectant gaze, Zhang Sanhu made a slight adjustment and announced loudly, "The final election of Immortal Emperor City starts now." ”
