Chapter 94 Taking the stage, making an appearance
At dusk, the whole city was in a state of excitement.
Because everyone can clearly see that to the east of Peacock City, there is a mountain-like city slowly flying over.
The twelfth floor has five cities. The twelfth floor is before the five cities. Naturally, it cannot be a small building.
Just say that this Huanzhu Tower is five hundred feet high and two hundred miles in radius. It is not as big as Peacock City, but much taller. The whole building is integrated into one. The people inside the building are smaller than ants. At a glance, Going up to Peacock City was even more shocking.
When the Huanzhu Tower was approaching, dazzling magic circles erupted on the two huge buildings, but their respective city protection formations only flashed away, and the Huanzhu Tower slowly came together with the Peacock City.
The people in Peacock City raised their heads and could not see the roof of Huanzhu Tower.
A figure flew out from the center of Peacock City. The figure was wearing a high crown and a rich attire. Wherever he stood, the auspicious glow appeared in the sky. The figure was heard to say,
"Brother Shanshou! Finally, we are here. You are here!”
< br>"Haha, Brother Boya, I was also anxious. When I left, Brother Rusu held me back and refused to let me go. I finally got rid of it. When I came ashore from the East China Sea, I met a group of black swallows returning from the north. I had to give way. This Just arrived late.”
Accompanied by hearty laughter, a man in white flew out of Huanzhu Tower.
The man has a face like a crown jade, a long beard, and is extraordinary handsome. He also has a long sword slung across his back.
The man in gorgeous clothes laughed and scolded when he heard this, "Xuanyan is the master of the third heaven, and it is right to let them pass, but what are you doing to Li Rusu? I will go to the East China Sea to find him in a while." Trouble in Tao Lou!”
The two laughed.
“Everyone!”
The man in rich clothes said loudly, and his voice spread throughout the city, "Fellow Taoists who come to Peacock City, and fellow Taoists who come to Huanzhu Tower, after midnight tonight, the fireworks in Peacock City will not stop, and the drinks will be free!"
A wave of cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly came from the first floor of the city.
"Everyone!"
The man in white also raised his voice, "Li Shanshou, our building, will use the treasured land of Peacock City to hold a sword fighting party tonight, and invite children from the first and second realms to attend. , all the other sword-loving friends can take a look!”
As soon as these words came out, the wave of cheers continued for a long time.
Through other people's words, several people in Sanqing Mountain also knew the identities of those two people. The man in rich clothes who came out first was the lord of Peacock City, Qian Boya, a high-ranking cultivator in Sanxian Realm. The man in white clothes with a sword on his back who came out from behind was none other than the Master of the Pearl Tower, Li Shanshou, a sword cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Just after the Sword Immortal Li Shanshou said that he was going to hold a sword fighting meeting, the news spread, and monks from all directions came to the third heaven from the lower world, poured into Peacock City and Huanzhu Tower, etc. As Haishi approached, even the roofs and eaves of every building were filled with people, which was a grand occasion.
Amid everyone's expectations, the sun sets and the moon rises, and Haishi has arrived.
“Bang!”
A huge golden chrysanthemum fireworks blooming in the third heaven - Yaotai Jade Phoenix, ignited everyone's emotions.
And this is just the beginning. Throughout Peacock City, rays of light shot from the city to the sky, flying upside down like meteors, and then bloomed into gorgeous flowers in the sky, illuminating the sky above the city as brightly as... daytime.
In the curtain of fireworks, Li Shanshou stood on the top of the Huanzhu Tower. The round jade plate and the bright moon were behind him, illuminating the outlines of the Sword Immortal and the top of the Huanzhu Tower. He waved his clothes. Sleeves, two objects flew out of the sleeves, both of which were good at facing the wind, and instantly turned into huge monsters.
One turned into a hundred-step high platform with carved railings and jade, and the other turned into a giant mirror that was almost as high as the Huanzhu Tower.
The high platform and the giant mirror are suspended in the void outside Peacock City and Huanzhu Tower. The high platform is almost invisible beside the giant mirror, but the picture in the giant mirror is exactly what it looks like on the high platform. At this moment The many monks in the city and building can clearly see the lines on the jade bricks on the high platform through the giant mirror as long as they raise their heads slightly.
It is conceivable that if there were people standing on the stage, they would be completely present.
Sword cultivators with a little knowledge should know that these two are the treasured immortal artifacts of the owner of Huanzhu Tower. One is called Yuyao Terrace and the other is called Yingyue Mirror.
This is another reason why the Pearl Returning Sword Fighting Club is so famous.
Imagine you are fighting swords on the Jade Yao Platform, and your figure is magnified ten thousand times through the moon mirror for the world to see. Who can be as calm as water?
"This sword fighting meeting, from the body Starting with the sword, those who practice physical swordsmanship can climb the steps to the stage."
The master of Huanzhu Tower said loudly.
Unreasonably and unexpectedly, only a few hundred rays of light flew out from the city and buildings, flying towards Yuyao Terrace like fireflies.
Nowadays, it is normal that most people practice flying swords, followed by magic swords, and body swords are the least.
In the Haishi Restaurant, Sanqingshan and others looked at Cheng Xinzhan.
Cheng Xinzhan patted the "Autumn Water" on his waist, laughed and said, "I'm going!"
The young Taoist priest drove away on a cloud and turned into a flying firefly.
When they arrived at the Jade Yao Platform, all the swordsmen realized that the high platform only looked small from a distance and next to the Moon Mirror. It was actually a hundred feet high, and the steps from the bottom to the top were about a hundred steps. .
But hundreds of swordsmen stood in a row under the stage, still looking sparse and clear, and there were thousands of steps in a radius.
The owner of Huanzhu Tower in the distance flicked his finger, and a bright light fell on the Yuyao stage, causing a sudden change.
The bright moonlight falls on the Jade Yao Platform. They say that the moonlight is like water, but at this moment, the moonlight really turns into water. The moonlight water accumulates on the platform. The moonlight water falls down the steps, like a waterfall. In the process, the water became more and more turbulent, and after falling a hundred levels, it was like a big river.
But whether it is a waterfall or a river, they all look like images from a distance. If you look closely, it is clear that there are dense crowds of people rushing down with swords, with an indomitable momentum, but these people rushed out from the bottom After one step it disappeared.
Cheng Xinzhan was not the first to arrive, but everyone who had arrived before was waiting at the foot of the steps without stepping up, seemingly observing.
However, he believed that the sword had no permanent power, and there was no need to wait and see. He took a step forward directly. After climbing the steps, he saw a sword slashing horizontally towards the waist and abdomen, with an indomitable momentum and extremely fast speed. .
He pulled out "Qiu Shui" faster. After unsheathing the sword, he turned his wrist, raised his arm, held the sword across a semicircle, then gathered strength to withdraw it, and passed his hand across his chest. Drawing a circle again, lowering it out, the force spread from the soles of the feet to the waist and then to the arms. He swung hard, and the tip of the sword swept past the ankle and lifted it forward.
As if sweeping away the dust on the ground, the long sword turned into an arc of light and cut off the sword that was cutting across it.
He takes another step.
The second sword was stabbed at his throat. He took advantage of the upward movement of the sword in the previous move, and his shoulders sank suddenly. He pulled the sword from top to bottom and struck it diagonally on the second sword.
One step further.
The third sword was struck from the sky with great force.
He took the sword back and thrust it out fiercely. At this moment, his first step, second step, and third step had already been connected into a momentum. With the addition of the momentum, the sword thrust out like this So fast, the sword had not yet fallen, but he had already stabbed the shadow holding the sword, so he took another step forward.
Every step did not stop, but became faster and faster.
The picture in the moon mirror fell into everyone's eyes. They saw the group of swordsmen climbing up the stairs, like waves of water flowing against the current. However, there were still too many people, and the sword light was chaotic. They naturally went to look around. The one at the front.
There is one person who is at the forefront from beginning to end. "Xin Zhan really has a lot of trouble!"
In the viewing gallery of Haishi Restaurant, He Jiyuan stared at the moon mirror intently, watching Cheng Xinzhan, who had not stopped for a step, standing. Get up and clap your hands.
“That’s only two moments!”
Wang Miaoyuan also looked at the moon mirror intently, and said a sentence without delay.
Feng Jihu watched carefully, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, thinking that he climbed the steps so quickly that it would not take long before he, the person who led him into the mountain gate, would be able to leave behind him.
On the highest floor of the restaurant, Xiao Shiniang was sitting on the verandah holding the lion cat, looking at the back figure in the moon mirror.
Qingyu naturally served by her side, and she said, "I only knew that Daochang Cheng was good at drawing talismans, but I didn't expect that his swordsmanship was so powerful!"
Xiao Shiniang said angrily, "That's Sanqing Mountain. You think they are our disciples from Bai Yujing.”
Qingyu was obviously favored on weekdays, so he smiled and said, "That's not true. Master, look, there are seven disciples from Sanqing Mountain, but only Daochang Cheng is going to fight with swords."
Xiao Shiyi Mother's eyes were brighter than the moonlight tonight, "Then he is naturally different."
Qingyu smiled and said no more.
On the top of Huanzhu Tower, Qian Boya, the lord of Peacock City, suddenly appeared. He came over with two jugs of wine, handed one jug to Li Shanshou, and said with a smile,
"Shanshou, your Dou As soon as the sword platform came out, no one saw the fireworks in my city.”
Li Shanshou couldn't stand the fact that he was taking advantage of him and still behaved, so he joked: "Then I'll take the sword fighting platform and go to Jingwei City. Do you think Yuan Xiuyong didn't invite me?"
Qian Boya quickly laughed with him, "You can't leave then. Come on, drink. Drinking."
Li Shanshou took the wine bottle and took a sip with a smile, looking intoxicated, "I like your Peacock City's wine the most among the five cities, and the wine from Golden Eagle City, one is Rou, A lie, haha, all good, all good."
Qian Boya smiled proudly, then pointed to the Moon Mirror and said, "Nowadays, the physical swordsmanship is indeed declining, and there are fewer and fewer people every year."
Li Shanshou shook his head, "The trinity of spirit, energy and spirit, body The sword is based on essence, the magic sword is based on energy, and the flying sword is based on spirit. They should not be so clearly divided. I have always disagreed. However, the general trend is like this and I can't do anything about it. Even within the Sword Sect, it has been divided into several factions. .
"I heard that Hengshan, which cultivates physical swords, Lushan, which cultivates magic swords, and Jiange, which cultivates flying swords. The conflicts between the leading sects of these three sword sects are becoming more and more serious. They often meet for sword fights. They It's really merciless in comparison, there are often casualties , It shouldn’t be like this.”
But even a generation of swordsmen can’t resist the general trend. There are too few people practicing the three arts now, so he can only hold his nose and hold back his anger and leave. Sword fighting, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough people to gather together.
And he will never let people who practice the three arts to fight swords, otherwise no matter which one of the arts wins, it will not be good from him.
Qian Boya pointed to the one walking in the front and said, "That young man is pretty good. He looks young, but his timing is just right."
Li Shanshou nodded, but joked He said, "Why, do you also want to catch your son-in-law in the audience?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Shanshou said this because at the last sword fight, it was in Haiqing City in the northeast, and an elder of the Xiao family fell in love with a young man who performed brilliantly on the sword fight stage. He actually recruited him as his son-in-law after he stepped down.
Qian Boya shook his head. At their level, if they had not given birth to children when they were young, having children now would be even more of a luxury.
The five major cities are all like this. The people who can become the head of the family are those who devoted themselves to cultivation when they were young. They will not destroy Yuanyang at all. After their cultivation reaches a high level, it will naturally be difficult to conceive children, so The city lords of the five major cities have never inherited their father's inheritance. Every new city lord is promoted by the old city lord from the branch of the clan. The only requirement is the last name.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the five major cities have been passed down.
"If you can't find a son-in-law, you can still find a minister or a guest."
Qian Boya said with a smile.
Li Shanshou also smiled and nodded, but since Qian Boya specifically mentioned this young man.
He waved his sleeves, and the picture in the moon mirror changed accordingly. The previous picture showed the backs of everyone climbing the steps. Now the picture suddenly zoomed in, directly zooming in on the person in the front. You can see It's his front, you can see his face clearly, and you can also see every move he makes with his sword.
He originally organized the sword fighting club to attract young people to practice swordsmanship and make them famous.
People in the city and buildings also cheered, that's it, they just want to see the young handsome man.
The six Sanqingshan people in Haishi Restaurant, as well as the two maids of the host family, were naturally happy and encouraged.
————
In the northwest area of Peacock City, in a huge private room where you can see the moon mirror when you open the window, there are seven or eight beautiful women singing and dancing, but only one The young man and a middle-aged man were all looking at the moon mirror, and only the remaining middle-aged man was watching the singing and dancing.
“It’s my benefactor!”
The handsome young man suddenly stood up, pointed at the moon mirror and shouted.
The middle-aged man next to him also looked at the moon mirror in surprise.
"Dad! Look!"
The young man saw that his father was still watching the song and dance, and he couldn't help but get angry.
The man then reacted and looked at the moon mirror with a look of surprise on his face,
"Ah! This is not the one from Sanqingshan!"
————
In the southwest area of Peacock City, on the roof of a restaurant, there were five young people and a man with a beard. The big man sat on the eaves corner and looked at the moon mirror.
They came over temporarily after receiving the news that the owner of Huanzhu Tower was holding a sword fighting party in Peacock City. There were no seats in the restaurant, so they had to sit here.
“It’s him!”
There were three women and two men in this group of young people. Two of the women suddenly stood up and exclaimed. The big man with a beard was also a little surprised.
The other companions were a little surprised to see such a big reaction from the two women. One of the men asked,
"Qingyun, Yingqiong, what, do you know this person?"
< br>Li Yingqiong did not answer, but looked at the woman beside him and asked,
"Senior Sister Zhou also knows this evil thief?"
But Zhou Qingyun just stared blankly at the moon mirror, not hearing the questions from the woman beside him and his companions.
