Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 309

The Luoshui Conference of the Great Qi Dynasty was usually held in the form of a group arena in previous years. Young monks of similar realms were matched in pairs by drawing lots to compete.

However, there have been rumors recently that this year's Luoshui Conference will change from the usual format and be held in the "Tianlong Secret Realm" of the Daqi royal family.

The monks present felt uneasy about this and looked forward to it.

"Tianlong Secret Realm" is a small world opened up from nothingness by Emperor Tianxing, who is a powerhouse in the eighth realm, with the help of the "Tai'a Sword".

It is said that there are operating rules different from those of the outside world, cultivating precious medicinal materials that have become extinct in reality, and even raising some strange monsters and ghosts.

However, because Emperor Tianxing has been living in the deep palace for a long time, the "Tianlong Secret Realm" has not revealed its true colors to the outside world for many years.

This undoubtedly makes it full of mystery in the eyes of everyone.

In addition, according to the usual practice in previous years, many important figures of the Great Qi Dynasty, including sages, powerful officials, dignitaries, and sect leaders, will gather in Luojing during the Luoshui Conference to watch the battle together.If there are young monks who are appreciated by them, they will have the opportunity to skyrocket and make steady progress.

Of course, these great figures will not stand in the sun on this crowded street like ordinary people.

On the other side of the Luo River, there is a high platform specially built for them.

When the bell rang, the Grand Master of Qi and the head of the Exorcist Department, Luo Chuan, appeared on this high platform out of thin air, causing the onlookers to scream.

For many, this was the first time they saw the saints in person.

The two men were dressed as usual—Luo Sishou was wearing a crane cloak, with a dignified look, and a fairy-like look; Da Qi Guoshi was wearing a cloth shirt, and his smile was simple and friendly, just like a happy man after seeing the harvest in autumn. old farmer.

Beside them, there are still a few empty chairs.

No doubt reserved for several other saints.

"Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple is currently practicing in seclusion," Luo Chuan glanced at the empty seat beside him, and said calmly, "He won't come to the capital this time."

"Where is Pavilion Master Xu of Jiange?" the national teacher asked.

"She was delayed by something on the way, so she will come later."

Speaking of this, Luo Chuan paused for a moment, then waved his sleeves, conjured a teapot and teacup out of thin air, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and continued: "It's just that Zhao Changying hasn't come here for a long time. Makes me feel a little weird."

The national teacher was silent and did not respond immediately.

Luo Chuan has mastered the art of deduction of secrets, and claims to be able to see everything in the world.

Something that even he finds strange is definitely not a trivial matter.

After a brief silence, Luo Chuan smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's actually a good thing that he didn't come. That bastard drank with the jug all day long, and his body smelled of alcohol. It smelled terrible." gone."

…………

The civil and military officials came, the imperial guards came, the court honor guard came, and the royal relatives came.

The sound of bells and drums is louder and louder, and the cars and chariots on the road are more gorgeous than each other.

The crowd finally gradually quieted down.

Afterwards, Princess Zhaoning, who was in charge of the secular government, dressed in a dignified palace attire, and surrounded by eunuchs and maids, stepped down from the most luxurious and conspicuous carriage. Under the amazed or fiery eyes, he walked slowly through the crowd and walked to the bank of the Luo River.

But she didn't stop there.

She raised her steps and walked in the air.

A high platform appeared above the Luo River out of thin air.

The steps, like lotus petals, slowly descended from a high place, firmly supporting her footsteps.

From a distance, she looks like a goddess in Luoshui, walking gently on the waves, swift and flying, erratic like a god.

Seeing this miraculous scene, all the people present opened their eyes wide.

Some people even bowed to the ground in the direction of the imperial palace, shouting long live, their faces showing a feeling of reverence almost to the gods.

It is well known that Princess Zhaoning is a mortal without cultivation.

Naturally, this situation is not her handwriting, but like the arena that rises from the water during the Lantern Festival, it relies on the power of the "Dragon Array" in Luojing City.

In the perception of the common people, the "Dragon Formation", like the towering and majestic Luojing City Wall, is a great miracle built by the Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi with his extraordinary power.

It has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has always protected the residents of the capital from the invasion of outside ghosts.

The residents of the capital rely on it, trust it, and worship it.

It is great, magnificent, and immortal.

"This time, the 'Luoshui Conference' will be presided over by me on behalf of my father." After standing still on the high platform, Princess Xiao Wanjun of Zhaoning turned to face the crowd and said solemnly, "It is different from the previous ones. It will be carried out in the 'Sky Dragon Mystery'."

The rumors have been confirmed.

The monks present all looked at each other, and everyone's heartbeat speeded up quietly.

Some people also feel a little bit lost.

Because they thought that on such a grand occasion as the "Luoshui Conference", they would have the opportunity to see the true face of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Daqi still stayed in the deep palace, closed the door, and only sent Princess Zhaoning as his representative.

"Perhaps in the eyes of a strong man like the emperor, practicing in seclusion and exploring the avenue of heaven and earth is far more important than the 'Luoshui Conference'!" They secretly guessed in their hearts.

Next, Princess Zhaoning began to introduce the rules of the Luoshui Conference to the monks.

She said that "Tianlong Secret Realm" is a special world, in which there are monsters and beasts, and also has different laws from the outside world, and monks need to adapt and explore by themselves.

In the "Tianlong Secret Realm", the strength of the real essence of all monks will be suppressed at the same level, but it will not limit the fighting methods of the monks-that is to say, the awakened supernatural powers of the third-level monks, and the awakening of the fourth-level monks. The natal item, the out-of-body ability of the monks of the fifth realm...these can all be used normally.

Participants will be teleported to any location in the "Tianlong Secret Realm" through the formation.

Each person will carry a special jade talisman.

If one's life is in danger, as long as one crushes the jade talisman, one can leave the secret realm and return to the real world—of course, this also means abstaining from the right to be the leader.

At the same time, the saints will also pay attention to everything that happens in the secret realm, and take action when necessary to avoid casualties.

Those who can pass the audition and advance to the main match are undoubtedly outstanding players from all over the country.

Of course, the Daqi court did not want to lose any outstanding talents.

"In the 'Tianlong Secret Realm', there is a silver wine goblet hidden." Princess Zhaoning looked around at the monks present and continued, "The one who finds it first will become the leader of this meeting.

"This means that you need to explore its location as soon as possible, solve the monsters around it, and defeat other competitors.

"On that silver wine goblet, there are special teleportation runes engraved.

"The first person who touches it will be sent directly to the royal treasury, and will be eligible to pick a treasure in the royal treasury."

Notes:

(1) "Jiuji", a container for wine, was used in ancient times to reward victors. "Northern History Wei Puyang Wang Shun Biography" records: "Take two liters of silver wine and hang it a hundred steps away. Order more than ten people who are good at shooting to shoot together, and the winner will be rewarded."
