Chapter 53 The Stone Cooking Conference
It is so bold to calm your heart with strong wine against blood.
?Chen Hui was silent for a while and said, "I know at the beginning, you drown your sorrows because of a woman who dranks wine."
The young officer smiled and said, "I received a letter from her from the south yesterday. She found the person who thought he had died, and... coincidentally, that person was the fiancé she disliked the most before. Do you think I should congratulate them or congratulate them?"
Chen Hui looked at his eyes with a lot of sympathy, patted his shoulder, comforted him and said, "That's really over. Don't think about this anymore."
The night when they were surrounded by wolf riders in the snow field, the two talked about a lot of things, of course, the most common ones were men and women. He probably knew what the story was going on.
The young officer's eyes suddenly became bright, as if to illuminate the dark night in front of him, the wind and snow in the dark, the way ahead in the wind and snow. He said calmly and firmly: "No, if that man is really dead, I will naturally not be able to fight it and there is no hope, but now that he has come alive, it means hope to me will be reappeared."
...
...
In late summer and early autumn, the stone boiling conference is about to be held, and people from all over the mainland have begun to set off.
Unlike the Dachao Examination or Zhouyuan, the Stone Cooking Conference is not famous and is only circulated in the upper reaches of the practice world. Only those who are qualified to be invited know that the location of each Stone Cooking Conference is in Tianchi in Hanshan, northeast of the distant mainland. Whether it is from Kyoto, from Tianliang County, or from Tiannan, it is a long distance to reach Tianchi. For many people, the Stone Cooking Conference is not so much a grand event in the practice world as a journey.
Of course, for practitioners who have reached that level, traveling is originally a kind of practice, so not many people will use immortal birds or formations, but will cross the river as dense as spider webs along the official roads in the human world, feel the scenery, and move forward sincerely.
According to legend, countless years ago, countless meteorites turned into stream fire and fell on the continent. Many of them fell in the current location of Kyoto. The loess was the most important tomb. Those meteorites turned into Heavenly Book Monument to open up the life intelligence of the continent. This is the current Heavenly Book Mausoleum. In addition to the meteorites that fell in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, many meteorites turned into ashes in the sky, and many meteorites returned to the Star Sea. Some lucky or unfortunate meteorites did not fall into the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, nor were they burned out, and turned into incomplete real stones, landed on the earth, and were called the Heavenly Stone.
What’s amazing is that those sky stones were not scattered all over the continent, but were mostly in the same place, just like the case of the Tianshu Tomb.
That is the Hanshan Mountain in the northeast of the mainland now, especially Tianchi on the top of Hanshan Mountain.
Those sky stones burned too much, and no mysterious lines were left on them, nor were there any magical things like the sky stones. However, they are the same origin as the sky stones, and are still extremely precious to practitioners. It is said that many strong people have successfully broken through the original realm through these sky stones.
The one who cooks the stones at the stone boiling ceremony is Tianshi. Of course, it is impossible to produce countless stoves and boil water by the Tianchi Pool for this. Boiling stones is originally boiled in Tianchi Pool, because the water in Tianchi Pool is formed by hot springs, and the temperature is extremely high, just like a stove for the creation of heaven and earth.
The Stone Cooking Conference is a grand event held by the human world in order to improve the speed of cultivators' practice. Any practitioner who can rank among the top in the Stone Cooking Conference is qualified to obtain a heavenly stone for understanding and perception. The magic of the sky stone is far less than that of the Heavenly Book Monument, but the Heavenly Book Monument is in the Heavenly Book Tomb, and the Heavenly Stone can be carried by my side day and night. Therefore, for practitioners, the importance of the Heavenly Stone is not actually above the Heavenly Stone, and it is even more than that of some people.
When will the stone cooking conference be held? After Emperor Taizong returned to the Star Sea, it was jointly planned by five saints and the wind and rain in all directions, and organized by the old man Tianji. The specific time of the conference depends on the practice status of the younger generations in the world of cultivation at that time. Only when they are confirmed to be able to comprehend the heavenly stone will it be held.
After Emperor Taizong's generation gradually withdrew from the stage of history, the practice world became increasingly deserted, and the stone boiling conference was often not held once for decades. It was not until after Wang Po made a big splash that the practice world entered the era of wild flowers blooming again, and the frequency of the stone boiling conference gradually became higher.
The most important purpose of the Stone Cooking Conference is to enable the geniuses of the Taoist practice in the human world to gain help at critical moments of practice, so as to break through the obstacles of knowledge and gain improvement as soon as possible. Therefore, there are very few people invited. For example, there are only more than thirty young Taoist practitioners on the list.
On that list are the name of Guan Bai of Tiandaoyuan, and of course, there are Qiushanjun, naturally Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng, Gou Hanshi, and Zhong Hui, Huaiyuan, who is ranked fourth in the Golden List. Zhexiu and Tang Sanshiliu failed to make it to the Golden List, which does not mean that Tianji Pavilion is not optimistic about them, so they are also on the list.
In addition to these familiar names, there are some unfamous cultivators and masters of small sects on the list. Those cultivators and masters are probably over forty years old and are quite young among the cultivators, but compared with the young geniuses above, they are obviously much bigger.
Hundreds of state cavalry escorted several chariots and walked through Kyoto.
These cavalry generals of the state religion were indifferent and had a sense of murder, but they could not stop the determination and courage of the people of Kyoto to watch the fun.
Mao Qiuyu and the King of Linghai sat in two chariots, closing their eyes to rest, as if they could not hear the shouts from outside the window.
Those shouts were all for the people in the car behind.
In the carriage, Tang Sanshiliu put down the list in his hand, scratched his ears that were itchy because of the shouting, shook his head and said, "I don't know what we are doing, what are we doing when we shout so loudly, and Rou'er... I just gave you a thousand taels of silver last night. What are you doing when I am sending my husband again?"
He looked at the sad girl Wuki leaning against the railings on the street, and his face was a little unnatural.
No one pays attention to him or pays attention to him, otherwise he may be even more embarrassing.
The sleeves are folded and the eyes are closed to nourish the spirit. The true energy is scraped like a knife in the somewhat deformed meridians, but there is no pain between the eyebrows and eyes.
Chen Changsheng hid himself in a scroll of Tao, looking very focused and serious, and in his sea of consciousness he was constantly calculating how to break the formation left by Wang Zhicai.
Tang Sanshiliu was a little ashamed and wondered why he couldn't do anything like this and they didn't care about anything?
"Listen... some people actually guess you went to Nanxizhai to propose marriage!"
A burst of shouts suddenly broke out from the crowd by the street. Tang Sanshiliu listened and laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, feeling so happy.
"It's also a pity that these people can think of it, but this situation is indeed a bit similar. If you want to marry a saint, you must of course mobilize two national tycoons."
This refers to Mao Qiuyu and the King of Linghai in the car ahead.
This time, Chen Changsheng and others went to the stone cooking conference, but the formation was very large, and the two archbishops were escorted by themselves.
Because Chen Changsheng's identity is different now, and the journey is long, Hanshan is not far from the Demon Realm, who knows if the demons will have any idea about this future pope? Two powerful men at the peak of the Star Gathering Realm will be in charge, and it will be much safer.
Chen Changsheng still lowered his head and looked at the book without any reaction.
Tang Sanshiliu finally felt something was wrong, so he patted him and said, "What are you thinking?"
Chen Changsheng raised his head, took out two balls of fur from his ears, and asked in a daze: "What's wrong?"
Tang Sanshiliu was speechless and pointed to the paper and said, "Should you care about what kind of opponents you will encounter at the stone boiling conference?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't plan to end up."
For practitioners, Tianshi is of course an extremely precious object of understanding, but for him and Xu Yourong, the effect of this kind of understanding is almost non-existent.
The Heavenly Book Monument is in their arms, so there is no need to care about the Heavenly Stone.
The reason why he attended the stone cooking conference was that in addition to expanding his experiences, he also wanted to meet some people. For example, Wang Po, who might appear in Tianchi because of the Huaiyuan Zhonghui. For example, Gou Hanshi, who has not seen him for a long time, was a disciple of the Lishan Sword Sect. For example, she had just been separated for a while.
Tang Sanshiliu said: "That's right, you are the future pope and it's really not suitable to compete with us anymore. Besides, you can enter the Heavenly Book Tomb at will now. You can see which Heavenly Book Tomb you want to see which Heavenly Book Tomb you want to see. If you want to take the girl to see the Heavenly Book Tomb you want to see the Heavenly Book Tomb you want to see the Heavenly Book Tomb you want to see the Heavenly Book Tomb…”
Chen Changsheng looked at Xue Xiu and found that Xue Xiu didn't care about their conversation at all, so he felt relieved.
Looking at his nervous expression, Tang Sanshiliu shook his head, handed the note to him, and said, "Since you won't be in the game, our strongest opponent must be these guys from the Lishan Sword Sect. The demon clan will come. I heard that even the little de on the Xiaoyao List will come."
Hearing the name Xiao De, Zhexiu suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Confirm?"
"Basically confirm." Tang Sanshiliu looked at him and frowned and asked, "You have a grudge against that guy?"
Zhexiu asked, "If there is a grudge, will you help me?"
Tang Sanshiliu said naturally: "Of course not, that's the top five masters on the Xiaoyao List. Are you so familiar with me?"
...
...
The long journey has fresh scenery, but not many new stories.
Most of the time, Chen Changsheng studied in the car and thought, cured Cheshui's illness and wounds, and then the two of them watched Tang Sanshiliu become more and more sarcastic because of boredom. Occasionally, Mao Qiuyu would talk to him about something, but apart from eating in the wild, he had never seen the King of Linghai.
Just when Xiatian was about to leave, the convoy finally arrived at Hanshan.
It was already far north. After passing the continuous mountain in front of you, you were about to enter the area of the Demon Realm Snowfield. Moreover, as the mountain ground also increased, the temperature became lower and lower, as if it had arrived in the deep winter in advance, the armor of the National Cult cavalry gradually condensed with shallow frost.
