Chapter 159 Moon Festival
I wonder if the processes in the world are similar. The world of immortality also celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xuanjian City used to be the imperial capital. These festival customs are the most complete. They call it sacrifice here. Lunar Festival.
The legend is a little different. The Moon Festival in the world of immortals is to commemorate the moon god. It is said that she was a female cultivator in the world of immortals. She sacrificed her life to eliminate the evil beasts in the world and turned into a human after her death. The goddess of the moon, the monks established this festival to express their gratitude for her kindness.
For Xuanjian City, the Moon Festival is not only a day for family fun, but also a large-scale market for merchants to trade. In addition, Xuanjian City is a city of swordsmanship, and sword discussions of various sizes are held every festival.
The swordsmanship of the kendo monks improves in the competition. The kendo monks are very happy to come to Xuanjian City to participate in the sword competition as an opportunity to improve their own cultivation. Xuanjian City also accepts a lot of monks. Entry fee.
The sword competition of the Moon Festival is held by the city lord's palace. It is a medium-sized one. Disciples of Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir and Nascent Soul stages are allowed to participate. This year's winner will receive a ground-grade sword. moon.
This sword is green in color and extremely sharp. It is made of a whole piece of heaven-grade jade. However, there are some flaws in the sword body, which prevents it from being the same as the aura of heaven and earth, so the level was downgraded to earth-grade.
Xuanjian City this time equipped the sword with a sheath that can support the sword body, helping the sword body communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, which can make up for this shortcoming.
In addition, as the monk's cultivation level increases, he can let the Biyue Sword communicate with the world through his own body, which is much better than the sword itself. In other words, as long as the sword holder's cultivation If it is high, this sword will be no different from a real heavenly sword.
The kendo competition started a week ago, and the finals happened to be held on the day of the Moon Festival, making the celebration even more lively.
The last ones to enter the finals were Feng Zimo, the second disciple of the city lord, and a monk from Wuji Mountain.
Zhao Tianming was complaining to Tang Yue, "It's unreasonable. This monk is obviously not a swordsman, but he can defeat so many disciples who specialize in swordsmanship. The disciples of Xuanjian City are really not practicing diligently. I will give him a gift tomorrow. They practice more."
Tang Yue felt that what he said was unreasonable. Cultivation is inherently related to talent. There are such people in the world who are not practicing swordsmanship but have extremely high swordsmanship understanding. They can defeat countless people. A swordsman who has been practicing hard for ten years, why is it that he is a disciple of Xuanjian City and doesn't work hard?
She had only been in Xuanjian City for a few months, and she had seen the low-level disciples of Xuanjian City getting up before dawn to practice. The high-level disciples often practiced their swords alone. Passed out from exhaustion.
But Tang Yue was very curious about who this person from Wuji Mountain was, maybe she knew him, and asked the city lord: "What is the name of this monk from Wuji Mountain? He is so talented?"
"What is his name? Shui Xuanying has such a talent for swordsmanship. It’s such a waste of talent to have to go to Wuji Mountain to practice inner alchemy.”
Pfft, it’s her grandfather?
Tang Yue did not expect that her grandfather was so powerful when he was young. He could challenge swordsmen with swordsmanship and even entered the finals. She had to go and see it tonight.
"Is this happening? Then I'll go and see how powerful this person is tonight."
The city lord came to invite her to go out for a while, so naturally he wouldn't refuse. , "Okay, you can follow me to the chairman's seat to watch the competition. You can see it clearly."
Zhao Tianming is the city lord. After this competition, he will personally hand over the Biyue Sword to the winner. He originally thought that this time his eldest and second apprentices would definitely enter the competition, so he took out the Blue Moon Sword as a bonus. No matter who wins, the sword will be in his hands.
Unexpectedly, the eldest disciple was eliminated by the Shui family monk, and only the second disciple was left. As a result, the ownership of the sword was not so sure that it would still belong to Xuanjian City. This is why he was not happy today. reason.
"Thank you City Lord."
The sword competition was held in the evening. The City Lord invited her to go out early and visit the Xuanjian City Night Market first. Tang Yue thought it was okay, so she went out early with Zhao Tianming have a look.
Follow the city lord to the night market. Basically, as long as she stops to look at the stalls, the stall owners will give her some items. Firstly, they will sell well for the city lord, and secondly, they will be free of stall fees during the moon festival. A little gadget is not worth mentioning. Xuanjian City is decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns everywhere this night, and all kinds of exquisite lanterns are hung. The palace was also given a golden light with spiritual energy, making it look splendid at night. The city lord must have spent a lot of money on the appearance.
Tang Yue suddenly remembered something, "City Lord, how did you deal with the decrease in sand at sunset?"
The City Lord sighed, " I can only tell the truth. This matter was beyond my power, and I almost did something wrong because of it. After reporting this matter to Xuanyuanshan, they did not blame me, but told me not to be impulsive. From now on. It would save Xuanjian City from paying tribute to Sunset Dusk Sand."
"That's really a good thing." Tang Yue was very suspicious. If Xuanyuan Mountain was so easy to talk to, why would Zhao Tianming take the risk before?
In fact, just as she suspected, Zhao Tianming paid Xuanjian City four years of supplies and treasures to avoid being punished.
Xuanyuan Mountain could not pay tribute to Sunset Dusk Sand Queen, so he asked him to pay other things to make up for it. It happened that he found a woman who could make money, so he was allowed to continue to shine and did not take back Zhao Tianming's position as city lord.
In Zhao Tianming’s vision, after he marries Meng Furong, Xuanjian City will have a steady stream of wealth. According to her ability to make money, after turning some over to Xuanyuan Mountain, there will still be some left. It's a lot of money, enough for him to live the life of a first-class family.
In addition, the Meng family is mysterious and unique, and maybe they can find another tribute item for Xuanjian City.
Suddenly a man's voice came from behind, "Rongmei, why are you here?"
Tang Yue was very surprised. She didn't know anyone in Xuanjian City who could be so close to her. Call him a man?
Looking back, it turned out to be Shui Xuanming, probably accompanying his younger brother to participate in the competition in Xuanjian City.
Tang Yue looked surprised for a moment, then remembered his identity, and his expression returned to indifference.
The city lord was very unhappy. The other party, a male cultivator with advanced cultivation and good looks, actually called Meng Furong so intimately. Is there a relationship between them?
No, Meng Furong is the beauty in his dreams, the hope of his life, and everything in his future. No one can take her away.
Immediately asked Meng Furong, "Fu Rong, do you know this person?"
"I don't know you, City Lord. The competition is about to begin. Let's leave quickly."
Shui Tianming is anxious. Over the past few days, he has searched the southeast of Liuzhou Continent but cannot find Meng Furong. Xianyuanshan inquired about the Meng family and wanted to know if Meng Furong had gone home.
But if the hidden family was so easy to find, there wouldn't be a hidden word. The Shui family urged him to go home quickly and take on important matters in the family. Shui Tianming had no choice but to give up looking for Dream Furong. But they secretly sent batch after batch of people, but they couldn't find her.
Shui Tianming felt that his heart was going to be broken. If he could never find Meng Furong again, although he would not kill himself, he would be like a walking zombie and would never feel happiness again.
He was depressed all day long. Mrs. Shui couldn't see him like this, so she asked him to accompany her brother to Xuanjian City to participate in the competition. She wanted him to visit more and change his mood.
Mrs. Shui thoughtfully asked Shang Chunjiao to accompany him on the trip, hoping to take this opportunity for the two of them to develop a relationship.
Shang Chunjiao was next to Shui Tianming, and she went out for a walk with him. Seeing Meng Furong appear again, she hurriedly said to her cousin: "Xuan Ying's competition is about to begin, let's go together Let's take a look."
As she said this, she stretched out her hands to hold her cousin's arm to show her ownership.
