As long as Qi Xiao is willing to speak, what's the difficulty in protecting Zhu Biqiong?
The excitement in my heart only arose for a moment, and then was extinguished by Jiang Wang.
If things were really that easy, Jiang Wuyou wouldn't have said anything in advance.
Just think about it, how could a real person like Qi Xiao, the general guarding Ju Ming Island, personally go to Tianya Platform and challenge the rules of the Sea Festival for a disciple who was abandoned in Diaohai Tower?
Don't say that Jiang Wang doesn't have such a reputation. Even Jiang Wuyou is still far from it.
Jiang Wuyou didn't mention this matter in advance. The only explanation is that she was not sure whether Qi Xiao could come.
There had been discussions before. She originally went to Cassia Island to make some arrangements so that the military generals who were close to her could participate in the sea ceremony on behalf of Cassia Island. In this way, she could help Zhu Biqiong at the critical moment.
say.
Qi Xiao, the commander of the Xia Corpse Army, was not in their plan at all.
Jiang Wuyou did not see Jiang Wang in the crowd, and could not contact him privately at this moment. But she sat upright, sitting side by side with the real person, with a calm demeanor.
No matter how unexpected it is, things are developing in a good direction after all.
Jiang Wang quickly made an inference in his mind
Qi Xiao decided to go to Tianya Terrace in person for some reason. The reason may be the same as that of Yang Feng in Yanggu. Only people at their level can probably know about it now.
Jiang Wuyou seized the opportunity and relied on his status as the master of Huaying Palace to go with Qi Xiao. This was undoubtedly a successful leverage.
No matter what everyone on Tianya Stage is thinking.
On the main seat, Master Chongguang looked forward and his voice was calm, but it passed clearly to everyone's ears: "Since the two generals Yang and Qi have arrived, and the bright moon has risen, the Sea Festival Ceremony has officially begun!
"
A tall, thin old man walked up to the main seat and shouted: "Have fun!"
This person is none other than Hai Jingping, the patriarch who Jiang Wang knows and is one of the four elders responsible for the actual implementation of the sea festival ceremony.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
Heavy war drums were aroused with his voice.
Then there was the desolate sound of the horn, echoing in the night sky.
One sound was heard faster than the other, spreading throughout the whole Xianyue Island.
After nine trumpet blasts in succession.
On Tianya Platform and throughout Xianyue Island, countless people opened their lips and sang.
Thousands of tiny songs come from all directions and converge together, becoming grand, vast and shocking.
The voice sang
“The sky is covered with clouds, and I am returning in confusion.
I am willing to hold on to my long tassel and fight against the angry sea today.
What should I fear if my armor is broken?
Where can I come from if I care about my body and my life?
I have a body of iron bones, and I can dismantle them to beat war drums.
I am so full of blood that it feels so good to splash into the sky!
My mother has lost my clothes, my son has lost my arms.
Where does the soul go? The broken jade spiritual platform!"
This mourning song called "The Return of the Soul" is to call the heroic spirits to return, but it is sung from the perspective of a warrior.
A warrior bravely fights the raging sea without fear of sacrifice. He must tear down his iron bones, shed his blood, and spend his whole life on the sea frontier.
But does he really have no attachment?
His mother lost her child and wanted to sew some more clothes for her child, but she didn’t know who to give them to.
His child has lost his father and wants his father's arms, but he can never get it again.
But, but.
But even so, there is no need to ask where “my” soul goes.
"I" will die here, completely awake, completely free, as pure and pure as jade, on the seashore.
The pain of one person and one family is to avoid the sorrow of thousands of families.
Ordinary sea people hear the head of the family fighting against the unpredictable sea to survive. But what the extraordinary monks see in this mourning song are generations of extraordinary strong men fighting on the sea and dying on the sea.
Facing away from the human race and facing the sea.
No matter men, women, old or young, no matter what their level of cultivation or status, Jiang Wang saw that everyone around him was singing this mourning song. Some looked excited, and some had tears streaming down their faces.
Being among the singing crowd, he couldn't help but be infected by a kind of power. He also opened his voice and followed the tune. He had never heard this song before, and had never sung this song before. But he still
Naturally, merge into it.
There is a huge power that exists in the heart of everyone. It is the recognition of the identity of "human race" and a great expectation for the common destiny of human race.
At the end of the song, I almost burst into tears.
For thousands of years, generations of extraordinary monks have fought and fought on the sea frontier in this way, fighting for the safety and survival of the human race.
Compared with this, those personal grievances, honors and disgrace, and those squabbling for power and gain, all seem so small!
There was silence on the Tianya Stage for a moment, as if all the extraordinary monks present were briefly moved.
Hai Jingping, the patriarch of the Diaohailou clan, spoke again: "The Sea Festival Ceremony is a grand event for the sea people! Once a year, Jinghai is peaceful!"
He is talking about the tradition of the sea festival ceremony.
Ordinary sea people may not know this. They only know that on the day of the sea festival, the sea is often calm. But the extraordinary monks present can more or less know this.
Every year on the Sea Sacrifice Day, it is the day when the strong men of the human race work hard to clean up the sea.
In order to welcome the return of the heroic spirits, on this day, no sea clan is allowed to appear within 44 miles of the human race in the Mysterious World. No matter what sea clan it is, no matter how strong it is, as long as it is close to the human race on this day
Anyone within forty-four miles of the border will be brutally killed regardless of the cost.
This rule is called "Jinghai Pingbo".
Of course, it is impossible for the Sea Clan to agree with any decision of the Human Clan, but as blood is shed year after year, this "tradition" has been recognized.
Although it has never been officially recognized, on the fourth day of April every year, the sea people are unusually peaceful.
This day is also a rare day of peace in the mysterious world where we have been fighting for years.
But all extraordinary monks should know that the sea is not always so calm.
Hai Jingping stood in front of the main seat, facing the guests.
He said loudly: "In order to welcome the return of the heroic spirit, we must first clear the bed."
“The heroes’ souls returning across the sea must be sacrificed with the lives of traitors!”
Jiang Wang’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that the important moment was coming, so he could only wait with bated breath.
But Hai Jingping continued: "In this sea sacrifice, forty-five people who have committed unpardonable sins can be sacrificed for blood!"
His eyes became sharp, and he glanced left and right, as if to warn those treacherous villains with evil hearts, and said: "Today's peaceful and good days were won by countless martyrs fighting with blood. These people are ungrateful and disrespectful."
, He abandoned his faith and righteousness, and was not worthy of being a son of man! He should be punished with the death penalty to comfort the heroic spirit!"
He waved his hand: "Pass the sacrifice!"
咚咚!咚咚!
The war drums are beating again.
At the center of Tianya Terrace, a stone slab slowly slid open, revealing the square entrance and the long stone steps below the entrance.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
The sound of stepping up the stairs neatly.
Tall soldiers wearing black armor were in groups of two, holding shackled prisoners, step by step, from the stone steps to the Tianya Platform.
…
…
(I don’t have to pretend to be cool, this mourning song "The Soul Returns" was not written casually. I thought about it for a long time. emmm...
In addition, I believe you have also discovered that Ben Shen spent a huge sum of money to hire someone to design a new cover. Do you like it?)
