Please calm down your anger

Chapter 426 Undercurrents in the God City, Shangyuan Festival Feast

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Shuo was in court.

For ordinary people, the closer the year approaches, the more anxious and flustered they become.

Those who owe money and owe debts, seeing that there is no rice in the urn and no silver in the house, some hang themselves from their hearts in grief, and some hide in the east, thinking that they will survive the New Year, and luck will come.

People from affluent families always feel uneasy and busy with things like painting white walls, pasting window grilles, making pastries, and sweeping roof beams.

In short, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt have their own joys and sorrows, and it is not until the first day of the new year that I can breathe a sigh of relief and be able to rest with peace of mind.

The Korean and Chinese military officials are not so leisurely.

In the Wuji Hall, there is a parade of ceremonies, and all the officials are crowned and dressed in court clothes. The ancestors of the family and the leaders of the Dharma line all come in costumes to pay homage to the Emperor Yan and present the court ceremony.

This is one of the ancient Zhou rites, representing the royal family and the aristocratic family to rule the world together, and the emperor is respected in all directions.

Of course, the atmosphere is a little weird this year.

The patriarch of the aristocratic family had a humble attitude, and His Majesty the Emperor Yan had a kind tone, and bowed his head to all the officials in the court without saying a word.

It seems to be harmonious, but in fact they have their own calculations in their hearts.

The reform of ancient Zhou rituals has already become a trend, otherwise the big ship of the human race might not be able to last long, but how much to let go, how much to retreat, in fact, everyone has no idea and hidden unwillingness.

Fortunately, another thing resolved the embarrassment.

The founding ceremony of Dihuangjiao.

This event represents Dayan's orthodoxy of the human race, and naturally has a great momentum, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, the three emperors, and successive emperors of the human race.

The Earth Emperor's Merit Altar is filled with incense and burns straight to the sky, and the burnt incense ash is piled up into a hill, and there are rosters from witches and Gongmen inheritance, announcing that they will worship the Earth Emperor.

Noisy, noisy, all day without end.

Naturally, Wang Xuan didn't go to join in the fun, just like last year, he sat in the main hall of the main house, accepted congratulations from his subordinates, and generously handed out rewards.

Temporary servants received money.

The children of the Mo family, who are busy in the capital city of God, got a spiritual object to redeem the ticket.

Many subordinates are given with magic weapons.

Afterwards, he took dozens of carts of delicious food, wine, and pastries to the camp of the Xiaoqi Army to celebrate with the soldiers of the government army.

But as soon as it was late at night, he rode his horse away from the camp, took Ah Fu, and entered the vast snowfield of Wolongye...
-
After the first day of the new year, the capital city of God is lively again.

Visiting relatives and friends, making connections, who comes first, who comes last, how many etiquettes to follow, how many hours to stay, all kinds of trivial matters, endless debates.

There is also an undercurrent surging in the court.

I don't know that, but revealing the mysterious news about the Great Seal of the Nine Armies of the Gluttonous Army immediately stirred up waves.

Some people joined forces in private, some people moved secretly, and there were many more tea parties, large and small, in the capital of God.

It was only then that someone discovered that the Bingzhou Duwei Wanghuhu who stirred up the situation when he first entered the capital hadn't shown up for several days...

"Where did Master Wang go?"

In the hall of the old house of the Mo family, Gu Yuan, the captain of Xuanzhou, and Liu Chengchuan, the captain of Bozhou, came hand in hand and asked anxiously.

Tu Su Ziming said with a smile: "You two don't need to worry, my lord is going out to practice, but I have already explained that this matter should not be moved."

Liu Chengchuan was a little uneasy, "These days, each family is connected with each other, and I'm afraid we have found out a lot of news. Although we will definitely form an army alone, each of the nine general seals has a magical effect. It will be troublesome if someone else takes the lead." gone."

Gu Yuan, the captain of Xuanzhou, pondered and said, "My lord, I may guess half of it."

Looking at Liu Chengchuan's puzzled eyes, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The crown prince has won the favor of the king's wife and established the ambition of the emperor. He must not be sidelined in his actions. When I come to the door at this time, I will give him an excuse."

"Furthermore, the news about the gluttonous seal leaked is a bit strange. I heard that the discussions with those in the middle of the country have already broken up..."

Having said that, Liu Chengchuan instantly understood.

Tu Su Ziming nodded and smiled, "Brother Gu is right, we just need to wait and see what happens."

Liu Chengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "You two, Mo Xiao, I can't get rid of this impatience."

"Where is it."

Tu Su Ziming laughed, and led the two of them to meet Xiao Zhongmou, and then had a chat over wine and discussed the matter of armaments together.

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

……

Two hundred miles away from the city of God, there are wilderness and hills.

After the new year's festival, the beginning of spring is approaching, and the weather is getting warmer. Although the heavy snow has stopped, the snow has disappeared in the cold night, and the wilderness is even colder.

The night sky is clear and full of stars.

In the valley, Ah Fu was lying on the rocks, yawning, his ears shaking from time to time, listening to the movement of the nearby hundred miles.

Not far from him, strands of starlight converged like flowing water and fell onto a snowdrift in the valley.

Sitting cross-legged, Wang Xuan has long forgotten both things and me.

Before he practiced, there was a lot of movement, either causing the ice to condense, or stirring up the energy of the dragon veins.

But now, the breath in the whole body does not leak, even if the snow falls on the body, it will not melt, and the way is more profound.

Leaving on the first day of the new year, it is convenient for him to cultivate here, throw away distracting thoughts, and forget about the passage of time.

The night sky roared, and a black shadow came through the sky. After flapping its wings and falling, the black shadow dispersed, and Xiao Bai's figure appeared just now.

Xiaobai and Ah Fu glared at each other, then twisted their buttocks and jumped a few steps, unloaded the bamboo tube, and waited quietly.

At two o'clock, the morning light broke.

The starlight dissipated like flowing water, Wang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chu Yang jumping up on the horizon, opened his mouth and inhaled suddenly, the lavender air appeared out of thin air, swallowed all of it into his stomach, and then gave up.

boom!
The snow shell covering the whole body exploded.

Wang Xuan picked up two formation stones of "Zhu Xing Bao Gao" on the ground, checked them carefully, and then carefully put them back into Dongxuan's arm.

Looking inside, the white nine-turn Jieguang in the dantian grew stronger, more precisely, there was another faint halo outside the Jieguang.

This is a sign of an impending turnaround.

During the altar of Wuliang Mountain, he obtained a large number of nine-day star demons, and condensed the kalpa light for a turn, and he was almost perfect.

Now he got the formation stone of "Zhu Xingbao Gao", after several days of practice, he finally had the opportunity to advance.

But it's still far from...

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, the starlight that can be attracted by just two formation stones is extremely limited, and it is even rarer to refine a star fiend.

The power of Star Fiend required for the second turn is majestic, and it is necessary to find a few more in order to gather them as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he opened the Heavenly Dao deduction disk again.

The fusion progress of "Hunyuan Formation Technique" and "Taixu Yinyang Jue" is 16%.

In the near future, if you want to quickly improve your strength, you can only place your hopes on the new methods that have been deduced.

Tweet!

At this moment, Xiaobai called out twice.

"The day after tomorrow is fifteen?"

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, picked up the bamboo tube and opened it, checked the information one by one, then his eyes were thoughtful.

"It seems that the footsteps of the royal family are getting faster and faster, but right now the family is at its peak, what confidence do they have..."

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

Shendu City ushered in the busiest time of the year.

Before dawn, an official from the Ministry of Rites issued an edict on the city gate tower, and the curfew in Shendu City was lifted for three days, and the royal gardens were opened to the outside world to enjoy with the people.

At the same time, Emperor Yan hosted a banquet in the Wuji Hall, entertaining civil and military officials, and military talents from all over the country.

It is said that it is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but in fact it has already begun to be lively during the day.

All the squares and cities set up towering mountain sheds, rows of lanterns, and ribbons fluttering. Shops, teahouses, and restaurants are no exception, raising money to erect high mountains of lights.

The rivers and lakes traveling from all over the world, living in the capital of the gods, enduring the high rent, are waiting for this day.

The disciples of the school of painting depicted the legends of immortals and gods, and made them into carved paintings. People's shops rushed to buy them.

Playing with the children of Caimen, or performing arts along the street, whether it is shooting pills and swallowing swords, climbing ropes, or playing monkey illusions, hundreds of schools have their own unique skills.

The Liyuan children set up large and small open-air theaters, no matter the sad and lingering "Sorrow Under the Moon", or the superb martial arts and amazing illusion "Three Armies Town of the River Demon", keeping each shed is not the same, and everyone has something to eat. eat.

All the squares and cities are full of tourists, laughing and laughing.

For the common people, Shendu City seems to be more prosperous than in previous years. Even if they live here for a long time, they are still dazzled.

But those who are familiar with the insider know,

Tonight is the highlight.

The whole god is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the three armies of the feathered forest tiger Ben Xiao are already ready for battle and ready to be mobilized at any time.

Among the dense crowd of tourists, it was obvious that Wuhou Fangding was patrolling everywhere, but secretly, the Criminal Department, the Gongmen and even many military experts were all disguised and looking for suspicious people.

It is said to the outside world that it is to prevent the Southern Jin spies from sabotaging.

But in the end why, no one knows.

They have received an order that anyone who dares to take the opportunity to make trouble today will be killed on the spot without interrogation!

……

At you time, the sky was already dark.

Many squares and cities can't wait to light up the lights. For a while, the lights converge into a river, criss-crossing, and there are folk operas, fire-breathing lion dances, which are very lively.

Mingshanfang, the old house of the Mo family.

Wang Xuan and the others had already changed into fancy attire, silently waiting for news.

Soon, Mo Xunchu rushed over and cupped his hands: "My lord, the gate of the palace has opened, and all the family members have left."

Wang Xuan took a deep breath, "Everyone, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he strode out with Tu Su Ziming and others.

Xiao Zhongmou watched the crowd leave with calm eyes.

If the Xiao family hadn't been defeated, he would have been one of them, but now he has already seen it through, being able to protect the Miao descendants in the clan, and showing what he has learned in his chest, compared to before, it is much easier.

There are already crowds of people on Tianjie.

The four of Wang Xuan detoured along the official road, rode their horses, and arrived at the gate of the imperial palace within a short time of burning incense.

At this time, there were already carriages passing by outside, and all civil and military officials were all dressed up, and after handing over the post, they strode into the palace city.

Wang Xuan and the others followed closely behind, and under the leadership of the inner guard, walked through the high gates of the palace wall, and passed through the grand and solemn square in front of the palace.

The Wuji Hall was full of people and guests, the peacock lantern, a magic weapon, shone brightly, the sandalwood was faint, and the musicians, bells and drums were beeping.

Under the guidance of the maids in the palace, several people came to the vacant seat below. After all, they are only captains now.

The table has already been filled with melon and fruit snacks, including pears from northern Xinjiang and sweet lychee from southern Xinjiang, and the piles of exquisite pastries are picturesque.

Wang Xuan also didn't care about eating and drinking, as soon as he sat down, several people came to greet him, not only Chen Leishan and other military acquaintances, but also officials from the three provinces and six ministries who wanted to talk, immediately became the focus of everyone.

His face was calm, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

At the same time, many strange things were discovered.

For example, in Tongzhou, the annoying Shangguan Qiu has long disappeared, replaced by a handsome man, smiling at him and cupping his hands...

For example, in Liangzhou, Wei Chilong also gathered a lot of people around, and it seemed that the effect of releasing the war beast was amazing.

Now that the Wei family is popular and has the resources of war beasts, who still remembers the Zhou family who ruled the world...

And that Luzhou Qiuyin, carefully guarding Sima Wei's side, looking at him like a ghost...

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth.

It seems that during the period of my cultivation, many things happened secretly.

At this moment, the drums sounded in unison.

In the main hall, the kylin, green dragon and other golden auspicious animal reliefs on the vermilion pillars suddenly turned their heads to look at the center.

On the throne, the golden mist surged, and the figure of Emperor Yan suddenly appeared, wearing a gown robe and a crown. Although his appearance was old, he had a majestic demeanor.

At the same time, the crown prince and several royal princes also came out from the back of the hall at the same time, standing on both sides.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up and cupped their hands.

"You don't need to be polite."

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, then slowly glanced around, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Today coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, all people celebrate..."

As he spoke, he paused suddenly, "You all already know some things, this is the last time I will host a banquet for you all."

Before he finished speaking, the prince's eyes turned red.

Several ministers in the DPRK and China even had tears in their eyes and bowed their hands deeply.

Everyone was silent, even the ancestors of the Luo family were no exception.

Yanhuang Duguhong, who ascended the throne at the age of 17, has worked hard all his life and worked hard. No matter what interests entangle him, no one can deny that he is a hero of the generation.

Now that the general trend of human race unification has been set off, it has not been successful yet, but its lifespan is not enough. If it is not for the method of planting the foundation, it will have died by now.

The world is impermanent, nothing can be done.

Emperor Yan smiled freely, "On the last night, I just want to be lively and lively. I know what everyone is thinking, so I simply announce it first, so that the food and wine will not be tasteless."

After saying that, with a wave of his sleeves, a large, nine small and ten balls of golden light suddenly appeared in the air, and there seemed to be a beast roaring in the vagueness, and the ferocious air rushed towards his face...
