Chapter 50: Current and Former Appointments
The mountain road of Yuxia Mountain is rugged, the pen walks the dragon and snake, from the foot of the mountain to the top of Yuxia Peak, there are twists and turns, there are seven viewing platforms in total.
Each one, higher than the previous one, can be seen farther.
The higher you go, the more beautiful you can see.
Whether it is the rocky cliffs, the pine and the ancient cypress, or the rapid white waterfall, the green grass and red flowers, you can enjoy them one by one.
Because these seven observation decks resemble the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky, they are named after the seven stars of "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang".
On weekdays, these seven viewing platforms are just places for ordinary people to climb high and look far away and rest on the railing, but during the once-a-decade ascension banquet, with the blessing of the immortal array, these seven viewing platforms have become seven extremely difficult to climb existence, and people who are not great understanding, great perseverance, and great immortal fate cannot break through.
Step by step, twists and turns, step by step.
And the peak of Yuxia Peak, where the Mingxin girl once realized the sword, is the banquet place of the immortals.
Only those proud sons of heaven who broke through the seven stars and ascended to the sky can enjoy a bowl of ordinary broth at the immortal ascension banquet.
After drinking the broth, the immortals gave them the immortal talisman, and from then on, mortals ascended to the sky, they could enter the immortal court, they could be immortals, and they could live forever.
It sounds like it's quite similar to the Wu Dynasty's Golden Scale Test.
But in fact, there are many differences.
The Ascending Heaven Banquet does not have the causal entanglement of the Asking Stone, and the illusion is laid down by the magic circle of the immortals, and it is difficult to compare with the causal illusion of the Golden Scale Test, and the study of the mind is not very profound.
And in the magic circle, there is not only one illusion level, but also a lot of grinding. However, most of them are based on breaking the formation by force, and what is examined more is the talent of the participants.
Therefore, the gold content of the immortal talisman awarded through the heavenly banquet is not as high as the immortal talisman awarded by the golden scale test, and according to Yunyang Zhenren, their treatment in the immortal court will be different.
According to Lin Xiuran's understanding, it is probably the difference between the treatment of graduating from 985 and graduating from an ordinary one.
But because of this, the contestants of the Ascending Heaven Banquet do not need to hold an immortal ascension order like the Golden Scale Test of the Wu Dynasty, but everyone can participate in it, regardless of age or age, whether strong or weak.
The contestants are not limited to the Song Kingdom, those people from small countries nearby who have no way to ascend to immortals, but those under the age of thirty can come over to participate in the heavenly banquet and gamble on immortal fate.
So at this moment, the crowd under the mountain is crowded, extending outward from the starting point of the heavenly feast, a mile away, and the black pressure is all human heads.
Of course, those high-ranking officials and nobles and the children of martial arts families are naturally at the forefront, separated from those ordinary people by a long distance.
Wei Su and Qiu Da were among the dozens of people at the front, but now next to Qiu Da, in addition to his big axe, there was also a wooden wheelchair, and sitting in the wheelchair was the female beggar next to the greedy temple.
Her original name was Huang Ying, and now Qiu Da calls her a lady!
The children of these families standing in the forefront are all magnificent, and there is a strong confidence in their eyes.
They are the real protagonists of the Ascending Feast, almost every Ascending Feast, those who can successfully drink the bowl of broth and obtain the immortal talisman are all their group of people who stand at the forefront, and there are very few ordinary people who stand on the periphery and just come to have a good time and set the "grade".
The so-called "fixed products" are unique to the Song Kingdom.
They relied on this magic circle laid by the immortals to evaluate the level of domestic talents, from high to low, with a total of seven grades.
Among them, those who break through the first layer of the "Tianshu" observation deck are the seven-rank martial artists, and those who break through the second-layer "Tianxuan" viewing platform are the six-rank martial artists, and so on, the higher the grade, the higher the grade, and finally reach the topmost "Yaoguang" viewing platform, which is the first-grade martial artist.
Of course, when he reaches the first grade, he will be an immortal from now on, so he naturally won't care about his mortal grade.
Therefore, in the territory of the Song Kingdom, the second-grade martial artists are the highest, and now the top grandmasters of the Song Kingdom are mostly martial artists who have won the third and second grades at the heavenly banquet.
However, this group of people who are at the forefront, since they are at the forefront, are by no means aiming at the quality of the product, but with the goal of "becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao".
Setting a grade, for them, is a failure.
......
Unlike the crowd on the periphery of Yuxia Mountain, which was surrounded by water and crowded black, these dozens of people standing in the front were enjoying a huge open space.
They were in groups of three or five, talking to each other.
Some of them have relaxed expressions and are confident, while others have stern faces and are ready for battle.
Qiu Da stood with Wei Su, as well as his new wife, Miss Huang Ying, and the three of them waited quietly, without speaking, just waiting for the beginning of the feast of ascending to the sky.
But the trees want to be still, and the wind does not stop.
Just when the three of them were silent, not far away, a delicate and lovely girl came over with a handsome boy.
The girl's name is Tang Xuan, she is the daughter of the Tang family of the martial arts family, she is extremely talented, she was Qiu Da's fiancée, and the handsome son on Tang Xuan's hand is her current fiancé - Lu Kan, he is also a nobleman, and he is the eldest son of the Lu family, the first family in the Song Dynasty.
On one side is the former fiancé, on the other hand is the current fiancé, Tang Xuan is now coming over, the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, to insult Qiu Da again, in order to repay her for the divorce that year, but in exchange for a "blood feud" with a letter of resignation!
"Hehe, Qiu Da, I see that this person next to you is very tight, don't you want to introduce me?"
Of course, Tang Xuan knew that the ugly woman in front of him was Qiu Da's newlywed wife Huang Ying, and the reason why she asked like this was, of course, to humiliate him.
After all, she is so beautiful, talented and extraordinary, she is the goddess that countless people in the capital dream of, and his wife, with an ugly face and incomplete limbs, is simply different from her.
He married such a woman, as a woman who was thrown a letter of divorce by him, how could he not gloat?
"This is Neiko, Huang Ying. ”
Qiu Da changed his previous habit of scolding when he spoke.
Since marrying Huang Ying, he has gotten rid of this bad problem, and he is a lot more modest and normal.
Although Qiu Da is not very smart, when he saw his former fiancée Tang Xuan coming over with her fiancé Lu Kan, how could he not know what they were coming for?
It's just that now he has not only changed the way he speaks, but also his personality.
In the face of the unprovoked provocation of these two people, he just introduced Huang Ying with a smile, and there was no sign of sudden attack.
This Wei Su, who had always thought he knew him, was stunned.
And the last time he was stunned was when he went to his wedding banquet and saw Miss Huang Ying, a female beggar next to the greedy temple.
Seeing Qiu Da's calm and calm appearance, Wei Su didn't meddle in his affairs and overstepped his responsibilities, he didn't move, he didn't speak, he stood there like a log.
Everything is Qiu Da's business, and naturally it is all handled by him.
"Hehe, Mrs. Zun is really good-looking!"
Lu Kan on the side held the long sword in his hand, stood up from the side, and said with a smile.
The word "peculiar" was pronounced very seriously.
"I heard that when Mrs. Zun entered the house, she scared the children of your Qiu family into crying, I didn't expect Mrs. Zun not only to look strange, but also to have the ability to 'stop children crying at night', it is really gratifying, if you have a child in the future, you don't have to worry about the child crying at night, it is really gratifying!"
Lu Kan saw that Qiu Da was silent, and he made mocking remarks.
