Chapter 64: The Great Zhou Dynasty Discusses the Heroes (I)
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......" Nine terrifying bells suddenly rang. The noisy crowd in the square fell silent suddenly.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is open today, all the people worship, play music!" everyone stared, and a majestic voice sounded. Suddenly, the sea of people in the square swept through like a violent wind, and in an instant, they all bowed their heads and bowed, shouting loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live! Long live the Great Zhou, long live, long live!"
"The Great Zhou is opened, the eternal eternal prosperity, the Tianyuan is respected, all living beings are one after another, the sky and the earth are dominated, the heroes of the eight directions are accepted, and the eternal supreme ......" In the midst of everyone's shouting, a louder and louder sound of the heavens and the earth was transmitted at the same time.
"The Emperor's Divine Sacrifice!" After a while, a loud voice rang out. Then in the center of the square, a ninety-ninety-nine level altar flew in an instant, and then a woman in an emperor's robe and a jade face flew out from the Beibian City Tower, turning into a streamer and appearing below the altar in an instant, and then in the midst of everyone's concentration, nine streamers came to the back of the woman in turn, and then the woman in the emperor's robe climbed up the steps and climbed up step by step.
"Knock...... Knock ......" one after another, the sound of light joy that shocked the heart reverberated through the world and echoed in everyone's heart. When everyone was shocked and inexplicable, the woman had already ascended to the 999th level of the altar, looking up from the ground, the woman seemed to be in the clouds, covering the sky with one hand, she could call the wind and rain, she could point to the lightning and thunder, and she could turn the universe upside down, and the sun and the moon were retrograde.
"I inherit the mandate of heaven to rule all living beings, and today is the founding of the Great Zhou, when the family and the country are comprehensive, and the eternal prosperity will be eternal. Today, I worship the heavens nine times with my son, and tell the emperor of heaven and earth. Receive the blessings of heaven and earth for all people!" the woman announced, and she knelt on one knee and bowed nine times in succession. In an instant, there were bursts of thunder between heaven and earth. Thunderclouds floated in the sky, and a gust of wind swept across the square suddenly, and everyone's hearts trembled, and they didn't dare to look at it directly.
"Click!" a complete thunderclap rang out from the sky. An arm-thick dazzling purple light slashed down from the sky, and it was about to slash towards the jade-faced woman.
"Oh no!" suddenly a loud roar rang out. Between the lightning and flint, a white light faster than lightning was drawn from the sea of people, and it came to the sky above the altar in an instant. Suddenly, the purple thunder slammed into the white shadow, and with a large mouthful of bright spiritual blood spilling onto the altar, the white shadow smashed down in an instant. fell in front of the jade-faced woman in the emperor's robe, and then the strong wind between heaven and earth disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, and the thunderclouds in the sky disappeared in an instant, and golden auspicious clouds appeared in the sky. A cool drizzle fell on the sky.
Everyone in the audience was like a dream at this time. The lightning and thunderclouds seemed to have never appeared, but they were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
The jade-faced woman on the stage had a pale face, her phoenix eyes were blurred, and her tears were dotted, and she couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood with "wow", which was imprinted on the blood that had just been spilled, as if she was injured.
As the woman squirted blood, the man in front of her somehow sat up suddenly. Now his face was as rosy and radiant as that of a baby, and if you didn't look at his mess, there was still green smoke. With the smell of his hair and the undried blood on his handsome face, no one would know that he had been struck by lightning before. He quickly took the woman in his arms, took out a delicate jade bottle, poured out a purple elixir with a fragrance, and gave it to the woman without thinking about it. In a moment, the woman's face became as rosy as a cherry, and after a light cough, as a mouthful of dirty blood spilled, a little tear flashed in the woman's phoenix eyes. She glared at the man fiercely, and said coldly: "Go down!" The man said in a low voice with a faint smile: "The matter between us is not over, you can't die for the time being." As he spoke, he turned into a streamer and shot into the vast sea of people.
After a few crystal tears fell in the woman's eyes, the flush on her face disappeared in an instant, and she immediately stood up, her phoenix eyes lit up, and she glanced in all directions. She preached majestically: "I sacrifice to the heavens today, inherit the power of the heavens, bring down the rain, and bless all sentient beings." From now on, my Great Zhou will be eternal and prosperous, coercive and eternal, and eternally honored!"
Everyone in the audience was awakened by the woman's voice, feeling that their cheeks were cool, their clothes were slightly wet, they looked up at the heavenly son of the clouds, and respected him like a god in their hearts, and said loudly in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live the Great Zhou!" The woman's jade hand raised slightly, and said lightly: "Flat!" Everyone thanked: "Thank you, my emperor." Immediately, the woman led the nine people behind her to disappear from the altar in a streamer and came to the golden city tower on the north side of the square.
When everyone in the audience saw the emperor's divine skills, they were shocked again and inexplicably. In the stunned eyes of everyone, the altar disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then two rings appeared in the middle of the square, one on the left and one on the right, on the east and west sides.
Upstairs, the woman preached majestically: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is a country, and the stars need to help each other." Today, I set up a civil and military arena and select talents in the world. The people of Tianyuan, the elders with one skill, can go to the ring on the left to compete with their peers, and the world can learn from each other. The ring on the right is a school for martial artists, and there are those who think they are strong in martial arts, and those who are invincible at the same level, and they can go on stage to compete with those who are in the same realm, and the world can learn together. The competition in the ring will be held for nine days, and the top 100 people in the ring every day can be my great Zhou Liangcai, and those with excellent virtue can be Zhou's officials. Those who participate in the competition, those who cannot be selected can join the Great Zhou Wenwu Sinology to continue their studies, and those with excellent grades and virtues can be officials of Zhou. In addition, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, if there were people who were both proficient in humanities and martial arts, and who won the crown of literature or martial arts, I would allow them to enter the palace and drink with me to feast and drink, so as to praise their talents. Everyone in the square said in unison: "Xie Wuhuang!"
Then, on the stone steps under the tall building, a eunuch preached loudly: "Your Majesty has a purpose, today's ring competition, each civil and military ring is limited to two people, the loser is down, and the winner is defended." There are 365 ground rings under the civil and military ring, and the number of places in the ground competition is limited to 20 people, competing with each other. The ring competition starts now!" As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, the square suddenly boiled.
A little below the civil and military ring, there was a ground ring with a radius of 365 square feet and a radius of five zhang, which was slightly lower than the civil and military ring of eight zhang. One by one, elegant or fierce warriors rushed to the ground, as soon as they got into the ring, they drew their swords and fought wildly together, and suddenly the ring was noisy. Unlike the ground ring, no one dares to patronize the civil and military ring for the time being.
The crowd around was noisy, pointing at the crowd in the ring.
Behind the crowd, on the third floor of a restaurant next to the avenue, Zhang Fan was sitting by the window with four women, watching the grand competition in the ring in the north from a distance.
When the jade-faced woman worships heaven and earth. Suddenly struck by lightning. Originally, Zhang Fan didn't want to care about the woman's life or death, but in the flash of thunder, he sent the god to fly to the altar to take the thunder for the woman. When the thunder enters the body. Zhang Fan thought that he would shed a layer of skin if he didn't die this time, but who knew that after the thunder and lightning entered the body, he and the woman were only injured by the thunder, and at the same time, the jade belt of his hair turned into flying ash, and his hair became messy.
Zhang Fan decided to save the jade-faced woman for a reason. He had known for a long time. also found out that the jade-faced woman was Xuanyuan Xianxian, but when she thought that he had framed herself, she was furious. I can't wait for her to disappear into the world immediately, but at the last moment, when Xuanyuan Xianxian was about to die under the thunder, he was unwilling to let her die like this. So he saved her. I plan to wait until after the tournament to find her for a theory.
Zhang Fan's heart softened in the end, he remembered that when he was in the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan was still a lovely and kind girl, she once saved a goshawk that was injured by herself, Zeng Jin gave herself a golden eagle, Zeng Jin saw him off, Zeng Jin said that he wanted to come to play with himself, Zeng Jin was rebellious and stubborn and unwilling to accept the benefit marriage arranged by his father. He didn't understand why Xuanyuan Xianxian saved himself so immediately that night when he was about to run out of gas. But he took himself into the mountains of a hundred thousand, and threw himself into a cold and damp chamber. didn't want to see himself, and even asked someone to deceive himself, used himself to open the treasure of the human emperor, and came out in time to stop himself when he killed the thief, and even cruelly asked people to throw Qingluo into the abyss, and also asked people to throw down the boulder and want to kill themselves.
Xuanyuan Xianxian must have something to hide from herself, or the real she is not at all what she appears to be, she is ruthless at one time, and delicate and pitiful at the other, all in order to hide her true thoughts in her heart. It was precisely because of Xuanyuan's inconsistencious personality that Zhang Fan decided to contact her personally and ask the reason for the matter.
"Childe, what are you thinking?" Qingluo's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Zhang Fan came back to his senses and saw that the four women were looking at him in a daze, so he smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just saw those people in the ring fighting wonderfully, and I was fascinated for a while." Xiaoqijiao smiled: "Brother is a big liar, your cultivation is so high, how can you look down on the clumsy performances of those guys." Even if I only have innate early stage cultivation, none of those people are my opponents. Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this, but said: "That's because the master hasn't come up yet." Qingluo smiled: "Childe, don't tease us anymore, we are so far away from the ring here, even if we can barely see someone competing in the ring, we can't tell who is cultivating how high." Zhang Fan was embarrassed when he heard this, and secretly said why didn't he think about it when he made up lies, as soon as the words came out, they were full of flaws, and it seemed that he was really not lying.
Zhang Fan was exposed as a lie by two little women twice, and he couldn't lie to them anymore, so he said: "That jade-faced Da Zhou Tianzi is a little familiar, I plan to go and see who she is." After all, when we first arrived in Chang'an, it's a good thing to have a few more friends, isn't it?" Xiaoqi smiled: "Brother, you don't just go to meet her, right?" I see, maybe she has been our sister for a long time?" Zhang Fan smiled: "I don't know her at all." Xiaoqi said leisurely: "Brother, do you think she is more beautiful than Qi'er? She is even worthy of your death to go to the rescue, Qi'er is so sad in her heart!" Zhang Fan was ashamed when he heard this, and he was embarrassed to say more.
"Hmph, that person is the most hateful female devil in the world!" Qingluo on the side suddenly said loudly. She pouted, her pretty face was covered with faint clouds, and she obviously had the extreme impression of Xuanyuan Xianxian. Xiaoqi said curiously: "Sister Qingluo actually knows her?" Qingluo said: "Little sister and childe were hurt by her last time and jumped into the abyss. If it weren't for Childe to protect the little sister, the little sister would never see the son and grandpa again. As she spoke, her eyes were red and full of tears, and a few drops of jade dew quietly dripped on her grinning lips, sliding down the bright red flaps and falling between her teeth. Qingluo actually cried just thinking about it.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly helped Qingluo wipe the tears from her eyes, wanting to comfort her, but who knew that Qingluo actually threw herself into his arms and cried softly.
"Woo woo...... "Qingluo cried more and more, and she cried out loud. Zhang Fan was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Qingluo would be like this, but then he secretly scolded himself for being careless, why he only cared about Xuanyuan Xianxian's affairs, but didn't care about Qingluo. Compared to the obedient and lovely Qingluo, that Xuanyuan slender is simply a heinous woman. (To be continued......)
