(Typhoon is raging, power and internet are cut off, sorry!)
In the early morning, the weather changed again. The red color in the clouds subsided like a tide, and finally disappeared. The sky returned to normal, and the eastern sky turned fish-belly white. Dawn was approaching, and it was extremely peaceful.
But the omen of the sky-breaking shrouding the Shenzhou continent has been seen by countless people. All kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and they are transmitted quickly through different forms of channels. I am afraid that it will not take a few days for the entire
The whole mainland will know about this.
Throughout the history of the mainland, there have been many signs of rupture in the sky over the past thousands of years, but they have limitations, and the maximum scope does not exceed one county.
And this time, it’s the entire vast Shenzhou Continent.
Panic is inevitable. I believe that it won't be long before the major dynasties in the Shenzhou Continent will take action. As for the huge forces behind them, they will do their best to trace and investigate to see what happened.
These have nothing to do with Liang Qiufeng. It's not that he doesn't care, but because of the current situation, he has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he care about others.
Early in the morning, Elder Gu shouted with a stern look, asking Liang Qiufeng to go out for a walk, just to attract monkeys:
"You can't see me, but I'm by your side. Don't doubt the power of a Martial King. All you have to do is behave yourself. I only give you one chance. If you make a mistake and try to call for help or run away,
I'll crush your head."
Saying that, he walked away.
Elder Gu couldn't really walk away. He was like an elusive shadow, following Liang Qiufeng, monitoring, and lingering.
When Liang Qiufeng walked out of the gate of Tao Ranju, he could no longer see the whereabouts of the ancient elder, but subconsciously, he knew clearly that the other party was nearby. He was with him like a shadow.
After a pause, step onto the street and follow the movement of the crowd.
Walking without a set goal, walking down one street, then another.
Liang Qiufeng suddenly stood still. He raised his head and stayed still for a long time.
"What do you want to do? Don't try to violate the bottom line of my tolerance."
The ancient elder's voice rang in my ears.
Liang Qiufeng smiled brightly: "To attract its attention quickly, or be discovered by it, I think we should make some noise in the city."
The royal capital is really big, with hundreds of streets and numerous buildings. A person in it would be as small as a grain of salt in the ocean, so this proposal is quite reasonable.
"Oh, what kind of noise do you want to make?"
"Not sure right now."
"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to use this method to alarm the surrounding people?"
The ancient elder's tone was fierce, and his murderous intent was boiling.
"I can't decide your thinking. What I want to say is that if you use this method, you will see it appear earlier."
The void is silent, as if weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, Elder Gu finally made a decision: "Okay. I'll let you try, but if you have ulterior motives, you know the consequences."
There was a slight pause: "You are a smart person, don't go too far."
"I will try my best to suppress it."
Saying that, he took steps forward.
The crowd in front was commotion, as if attracted by something, and they swarmed away. After walking for a while, at the intersection of the streets, I could see that the crowds from several streets in other directions were like this, running in the same direction. They were all flocking together.
Occasionally I heard discussions mentioning several geographical names such as "Lake in the City", "Zhengfeng Corridor", "Chief Pavilion", etc. It is vaguely a famous scenic spot in the royal capital city.
After listening carefully, I heard the expression "Junxiu Gathering" again.
Thinking that Xue Yixuan and Yang Wuchi were lingering around, Liang Qiufeng understood. After thinking for a moment, he followed the crowd.
"You want to join?"
Elder Gu's voice rang in his ears again. This voice could only be heard by Liang Qiufeng, and no one else, even if they were close to him, could detect it.
"I want to take a look."
"Hey, how can you participate now? I can only take a look."
In Elder Gu's opinion, this handsome review party is an eye-catching stage, and the monkey should not miss it if he wants to find his master.
Although there are some risks in allowing Liang Qiufeng to move around, these risks are controllable. Firstly, Liangqiufeng's Dantian is sealed, which means he is useless and cannot make trouble; secondly, as Elder Gu is the King of Wu, if a scene of this level is even possible
I can't control it, and all my cultivation level has been transferred to the dog.
In this case, it is better to let Liang Qiufeng struggle for a while. If it has no effect or there are extraneous problems, Elder Gu can also learn from it whether Liang Qiufeng is really obedient and if he dares to act recklessly, he does not mind taking some radical measures.
Use the best methods to torture and interrogate him.
Of course, Elder Gu would not completely trust Liang Qiufeng. He just had the person in his grasp, so he naturally had confidence and was not afraid of what this kid might do.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the front suddenly opened up, with rippling blue waves, but it was a vast lake. At a rough look, it was at least more than a hundred acres in diameter.
In the royal capital city, there is a huge lake, which is really amazing.
City gardens, rockeries and flowing water are commonplace, and there are many of them in larger cities. However, natural lakes with a size of hundreds of acres are rare, and they are located right in the center of the city, like a pearl on the crown, which is very eye-catching.
The surrounding lakes near the shore are planted with patches of lotus, of unknown species. The flowers are in full bloom this season, and each one is as big as a basin. Their delicate fragrance attracts many birds, bees and butterflies to fly in and play on the flower cores.
On the lake, a corridor is established in each of the four directions, southeast and northwest. The corridor is like a dragon and snake, winding and winding, surrounded by stone mountains and trees on the way, and finally extends to a large pavilion in the center of the lake.
These are the Zhengfeng Gallery and the Chief Pavilion.
As the name suggests, it pays attention to its origin.
Liang Qiufeng had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place. He didn't understand why, so he asked a man next to him.
The man glanced at him like a country bumpkin and began to talk incessantly.
It turns out that when the royal capital was first established, it was intended to be built around the lake. At that time, a formation master surveyed the geography and arranged the large formation. He saw the lake at a glance and said that the lake was a thousand feet deep and connected to the deep, so it could be used as an eye for the formation. It should be a large
Once formed, the power can be increased by 30%.
Moreover, the running water does not rot, and there is a spring inside, which continuously provides the vitality of heaven and earth, enough to keep the city defense formation running for thousands of years.
Later, the royal capital was built, and it was just as the formation master said.
The lake in the city is famous far and wide, and it took several generations to build it before it reached its current standard. Among them, the Zhengfeng Gallery and the Chief Pavilion are the most talked about.
The four front corridors are each thousands of feet long, and the actual distances from the shore to the leader's pavilion are exactly the same, without any difference.
This design alone is considered exquisite. Because the corridor extends, turns and twists and turns, and the curves are different, careful measurement and calculation are necessary to ensure that the actual distance is consistent.
The Kuaishou Pavilion in the center of the lake is located on the top of a small island, covered by trees. From a distance, you can see the overhanging eaves and corners, and the scenery is superb.
The scenic spots in the city lake are not enough if they are just for people to see. Warriors travel all over the world and travel all over the mountains and rivers. What kind of beautiful scenic spots have not been seen? No matter how good the scenery is and how much we have seen, it is just a passing cloud and cannot leave a deep impression.
impression
Zhengfeng Gallery and Kuaishou Pavilion are different. They are not only tourist attractions, but also places where warriors can become famous - especially for young and handsome people.
In fact, the original names of these two places were not that.
I don’t know which dynasty elite handsome competition started. When the main competition was over, the handsome contestants were still not satisfied, or they were not happy, or unwilling, or they wanted to make friends with martial arts. Anyway, there were many reasons, and they gathered on the lake in the city.
Race down the long corridor and reach the pavilion. The winner will be determined by the order of priority.
Over time, the promenade was renamed "Zhengfeng" and the pavilion was named "Kuishou", which made it famous.
Since there is competition, there are rules.
First, the representative players from each county draw lots to determine the direction of the corridor - there are dozens of counties in the dynasty, and there are dozens of teams of players.
After the corridors are assigned, each team sets off at the same time to fight in the corridor. During the process, those who lose their combat effectiveness will be naturally eliminated; those who are knocked into the water will also be deemed to have failed and lose their qualifications to compete...
There are four corridors, and it depends on which county representative can pass through them first and reach the island.
Then, the four teams that arrived first will have another battle with each other, and only the final winner can climb to the leader's pavilion and receive the imperial reward.
——In the first few competitions, there were no rewards. Instead, there were only battles of temperament and regional titles. But later, the rulers of the dynasty saw the mystery, and determined the reward system and incorporated it into politics.
The reward may not be as good as the Elite Talent Competition, but it's not bad either.
This year’s reward is a title—a dynasty title, earl.
The title belongs to the court system and is divided into five levels: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. The earl belongs to the third level, which itself represents honor. Moreover, obtaining the title will bring you huge benefits, such as being hereditary and being able to ride in the empire.
, with unobstructed access, no matter which prefecture or county you go to, you can get the respect and support of the local government. In addition, you can also be exempted from a certain amount of taxes...
The benefits will depend on the level of the title.
The title of earl is not low, and usually you have to make great contributions to the court to be eligible. But now, you can get it through a less formal competition.
With fame, profit and honor, the handsome men from all counties will of course go all out to reach the end.
The competition in the corridor is based on overall strength and teamwork. If one person is absent, a huge deficit will be formed and it is likely that he will be eliminated from the beginning.
But under normal circumstances, there will be no absences.
This year is an exception. Only two of the three representative contestants from Huaizuo Prefecture came. The handsome competition mainly compares personal performance, and there is one less person. Although it drags down the prestige of the prefecture, it is not desperate. But when it comes to the competition in the city lake,
The shortcomings of one less person are infinitely magnified and irreparable.
The annoyance and anger that Yang Wuchi showed when he saw Liang Qiufeng was by no means impulsive, but a kind of accumulated outburst. Because his family urgently needed his children to obtain titles so that they could shelter the activities of the business.
"Wow!"
The crowd was in a commotion and shouting loudly. It turned out that the competition was about to begin, and the handsome men from various counties began to draw lots.
Soon, Liang Qiufeng saw Xue Yixuan and Yang Wuchi and walked towards them without hesitation.
