I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 117 Kuixing! Kuixing! Kuixing!

On June 30th, Dayu held court.

For the past ten years of Dayu, today is the grandest and most lively day.

The streets and alleys of Xuantianjing were decorated with lights and red silk fluttering, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm everywhere.

At dawn, Emperor Zhaofu led the royal family, civil and military officials to East City to worship their ancestors.

The clan members dressed in gorgeous clothes lined up in an orderly manner with solemn expressions. Emperor Zhaofu held the sacrificial utensils in his hands, walked slowly forward, washed his hands and burned incense. The smoke rose up, and then he lit the incense.

Outside the East City, the people on the streets knelt down spontaneously, performing a sacrificial ceremony and praying for God's protection, so that their families could live in peace and be free from the invasion of war.

After the sacrificial ceremony, Emperor Zhaofu went to Kuixing Pavilion in person. Kuixing Pavilion was towering and magnificent. There was no statue of god inside, but there was an ancient sword.

The precious sword was enshrined in it, and Emperor Zhaofu even worshipped it personally and burned incense.

At the same time, a towering figure slowly stood up on Xiuba Mountain, with his body upright. He also lit incense on Xiuba Mountain, echoing the Kuixing Pavilion in Xuantianjing of Dayu.

Countless people shouted "Kui Xing! Kuixing! Kuixing!"

Their eyes were fanatical, their tone was reverent, and many people even knelt down and kowtowed to the Xiuba Mountain from afar.

The man on the mountain was none other than the contemporary Kuixing who had risen in Dayu decades ago.

He once killed a dragon that was causing trouble with his own body, and used his physical body to stop the flow of a river, saving millions of people in Dayu in the Nanzhu Plain.

He once had such a powerful spirit that covered the rivers and seas, making the evil spirits in the rivers and seas dare not cause chaos. He once went to the Great Zen Temple alone to ask for the golden body of the living Zen master to protect the dragon vein of Dayu...

He is Kuixing of Dayu, and the undisputed number one in cultivation in Dayu.

There are thousands of heroes in Dayu, and no one can compete with him.

Among the 800 million people of Dayu, except the babies still in their cradles and the old people with confused minds, everyone knows what the word Kuixing represents.

Today, Kuixing appeared and lit incense on Xiuba Mountain, representing that Dayu has passed away leisurely for 480 years, but still stands in this world and has never died.

The people in Xuantianjing shouted loudly with fanatical eyes.

All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as countless Taoist figures in Dayu, saluted Xiu Bashan from afar.

Kuixing!

Kuixing!

The cheers were earth-shaking, like thunder, and lasted for a full hour.

Chen Zhian stood on Fusang Street, also looking towards Xiuba Mountain from afar.

There are countless strange peaks on Xiuba Mountain, but there is a mountain that rises high into the clouds, as if it is trying to compete with the jade sky for height. The peaks are only a foot away from the sky, and its majestic momentum makes people admire it.

This mountain is called Kuixing Peak.

And today, Dayu Kuixing lit the incense of inheritance and sacrifice on this mountain.

Chen Zhian’s cultivation was not enough, so he could not see the scene on Kuixing Peak from afar. The shouts of countless people fell into his ears, making him admire the Dayu Kuixing.

"Who is stronger, the master of Tianren Temple who carved the words on the ninth stele of Daoxia, or the one who rode a real dragon and chased the ninth stele of Daoxia, compared with Dayu Kuixing?"

Chen Zhian thought so in his heart.

When he thought of this, he was more impressed by the extraordinary nature of the master of Tianren Temple.

Among the seven countries, countless sects, and many small countries in the world, the youngest cultivator of creation... carved the fourteenth word on the ninth stele of Taoism, becoming the youngest person to carve words.

Such a person...how extraordinary is he?
If there really were immortals in this world, even if they were immortals in heaven, they would probably be like this.

Chen Zhian thought about it carefully and realized that he was only nine months away from turning nineteen.

In nine months...can I enter the realm of creation?

As he thought about this, he suddenly smiled and shook his head.

"Floating."

Chen Zhian stopped thinking about it and was about to turn around and go back to the courtyard when a carriage drove up to the intersection of Fosang Street. Eunuch Liu jumped out of the carriage and trotted over with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen! Good things are coming! Good things are coming."

Chen Zhian turned around and saw Eunuch Liu, and a smile appeared on his face: "Eunuch Liu."

"Mr. Chen, look at that carriage." Eunuch Liu pointed to the carriage not far away.

Chen Zhian looked and found that the carriage was indeed quite impressive.

I don't know what kind of wood the car body is made of, but it actually gives off a light and elegant fragrance, and has a faint warm color under the sunlight.

The walls of the carriage are inlaid with rich brown jades that blend into the body of the carriage. The canopy is made of Dayu's most famous Shu brocade. The colors are bright yet solemn, the embroidery is exquisite, and the four feet are adorned with pearls, which are dazzling.

And these are still secondary.

The most precious thing is the horse that pulls the cart.

It was a Dayulong hippo, with pure bloodline, shiny fur and tall stature, demonstrating the majesty and grandeur of the royal family.

"Mr. Chen, this carriage belongs to the Shangyi Bureau and is specially used to receive guests from the royal family.

Today, Mr. Chen is the royal guest. You can take the royal carriage and go to the North City."

"Here it comes." Chen Zhian thought of the poem he had written, and how he had defeated Si Hougui and five others in the Unpolished Jade Grassland...

Now, the carriage came to pick him up, which meant that he had won at least one of the championships and was qualified to ride in the carriage of the Shangyi Bureau to go to the North City, and even go to the Wangxing Palace to attend a banquet with the leaders of all levels.

Chen Zhian took a deep breath.

He had long wanted to take a look at Xuantian Capital to see which great men were sitting high in the court, overlooking the vast world, and now he finally had the opportunity.

"But I don't know how many of the eighteen floors of Wangxing Palace I can go to."

Chen Zhian took a deep breath and was about to head towards the carriage.

Eunuch Liu at the side suddenly stopped him, and several palace maids came out from behind the carriage and said with a smile: "We are going to the Wangxing Palace today, so we can't be so casual.

According to etiquette and rules, Mr. Chen must bathe, change clothes, and put on this formal dress. "

Eunuch Liu turned around and took out a dress from the carriage. The dress should be made of top-grade brocade with warp threads. There was no special pattern. It was wide-sleeved and the cuffs were embroidered with sea water and cliffs, which made it look quite noble. Chen Zhian was about to take the dress when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Eunuch Liu, are there any rules for what to wear?"

Eunuch Liu nodded and said, "These are all decided by the Shangyi Bureau. According to the rules, everyone who can enter the Wangxing Palace today must wear these new clothes. After all, Wangxing Palace is the residence of the saints and cannot be neglected."

Chen Zhian asked again: "If I have new clothes, can I wear mine, which is also a black robe?"

"You absolutely cannot do that." Eunuch Liu shook his head like a rattle. "This is etiquette, you can't be careless. You are not the only leader today, and everyone else is dressed the same. If Mr. Chen is dressed differently, it must be against the rules. As I said before, a saint's residence must not be neglected."

Chen Zhian didn't have any obsessions. He nodded and took the dress prepared by the Shangyi Bureau from Eunuch Liu: "As for bathing and changing clothes, I can do it myself."

"This is against the rules... We must..." Eunuch Liu was muttering to himself, but Chen Zhian had already walked into his own courtyard.

Eunuch Liu rolled his eyes and said to the palace maids, "Why don't you go in?"

"What if Mr. Chen doesn't let us in?" a palace maid asked hesitantly.

Eunuch Liu looked around and whispered, "The gate is open. Just go in and wait for him to come out. Is there anyone watching you?"

The palace maids suddenly realized what was going on and hurried into the courtyard.

Not long after, Chen Zhian had changed into his formal attire and walked out slowly.

Eunuch Liu looked him up and down, nodded and smiled, "Mr. Chen is a handsome young man, and now he is famous in Tianjin. Many girls will definitely fall in love with you when they see you."

Chen Zhian's appearance at this time was indeed extraordinary. Although he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he did not look immature. After all, he had practiced for a long time, and had already broken through the third level of the Furnace Treasure Record. He seemed to have grown a little taller. In addition, he had a very well-proportioned physique, a handsome appearance, and a fair face. He was indeed a beautiful boy.

After all, whether it is Chen Shuijun or Li Yinxi, both of them have outstanding looks, especially Li Yinxi, who was also famous for her good looks back then.

No matter who Chen Zhian inherited his genes from, he would never inherit the word "ugly".

He got on the sedan chair, and Eunuch Liu beside him suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "If Mr. Chen can get into the top three today and go to meet the officials, or even the emperor, he will have to bathe and change clothes. Then someone from the Shangyi Bureau will come. You can give this dress to the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau. They will check it and if it is in accordance with etiquette, you can wear it."

"The top three..." Chen Zhian's eyes moved slightly. "He must be the first in the Unpolished Jade Grassland, and he must also be the first in the Poetry Building. In addition, he has won some prizes in painting and swords, so his chances of being in the top three are very high."

-

On the Panchi stage, there was still drinking and toasting, the courtesans were singing and dancing, and the piano music was melodious. I don't know how many people from noble families were lingering there during these days.

Xie You and Wei Lingyu looked from the high platform and could see that the long sacrificial procession had returned, the North City gardens were open, the saint's carriage had entered, and the officials' carriages followed behind.

Xie You glanced at Wei Lingyu and said, "The top three in cavalry, archery, and Xiantian grassland, I never thought that the princess would take the top spot in this once-in-a-decade sitting court festival."

Wei Lingyu gripped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, stroking it slowly with his slender fingers.

"It is inconvenient for outsiders to participate, and you, one of the six surnames of Dayu, are unwilling to go to the palace. Several princesses have bet that none of you dare to compare. Isn't it just right for me to be the champion?"

Xie You sighed and shook his head. The storm came, carrying his voice, which fell on Wei Lingyu's ears alone: "If the saint does not want to see the descendants of the six families of Dayu, why should we bother ourselves?

Moreover... Pei Yuan, Lu Shengxuan, Wang Zhiwei, and the two who are still on the way came to Xuan Tianjing for Lu Wujian, so whether they go to the palace or not is not important. "

“What’s more…” Xie You smiled a little: “If I go to a few more places, the other families will definitely go more as well. These top ones will become the spoils of the six families of Dayu, and at most your Wei, Jiang, and Chu families.

The saint doesn't like the aristocratic families in the world, and such behavior will only make him disgusted."

Wei Lingyu nodded gently: "This is not bad. I won the prize of those princesses and went to the 16th floor and even the 17th floor as a woman. When you see me in the future, you will praise me for being as good as men."

Xie You rolled his eyes and said, "You have never heard of Chen Zhian's poem?"

Wei Lingyu's expression turned cold, and he said, "Of course I listened."

Xie You said: "Then you have to be careful. Chen Zhian made an appointment with the people on the road in the Unpolished Jade Grassland and took away Si Hougui's ranking on the Tiger Cub Monument. It is a foregone conclusion that Unpolished Jade is number one.

This poem is ranked first and there is no need to think too much about it.

This means he has won two titles. If he wins one more title, won't he be on par with you?"

Wei Lingyu was not worried at all and said, "I have already asked clearly. Chen Zhian participated in four competitions in total. In addition to poetry and unpolished jade grassland, there were also painting and sword competitions."

"There's no need to say much about the sword and saber comparison. Pei Yuan went there in person, so naturally he won the championship. Chen Zhian is indeed very talented, but Pei Yuan has already achieved innate talent and has cultivated the sword intent. How can Chen Zhian defeat Pei Yuan?"

"As for the paintings..." Wei Lingyu snorted coldly: "Colorful paintings are fine for pleasing a few women, but if they are put on display in a refined hall, how can they be compared with ink and color paintings?"

"Are you so sure?" Xie You said, "As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature. I have seen Chen Zhian's rainbow paintings before. This time, all the participants are people under 30 years old. Even if he is given the first place in painting, it is actually nothing.

If he really took first place in this painting, he would definitely be on par with you."

When he said this, he saw the indifferent look on Wei Lingyu's face and finally understood.

Princess Yuxia of the Anguo Mansion could not suppress the poem that became popular overnight in Xuantianjing, nor could she suppress the unpolished jade grassland that countless people had seen. But it should not be difficult for her to suppress Chen Zhian's paintings.

He smiled casually, but in his heart he felt that Princess Yuxia was just like her brother, and was a little petty after all.

Even though the Wei family is omnipotent, its foundation and etiquette are far inferior to those of the six families of Dayu.

At this time, the carriage going to the sacrifice had already completed its journey.

Another half hour passed and a number of carriages came from a far distance.

These carriages were all very luxurious, and the horses pulling them moved at a steady and orderly pace.

The carriages drove all the way to the North City Garden, in front of the huge vermilion gate.

Under the gaze of many noble families on the Panchi Terrace, Wei Lingyu strode down the platform with his head held high and also got on a carriage sent by the Shangyi Bureau.

On the high platform, countless people gathered and leaned on the railing to look at the many carriages in the square.

In addition to them, the same is true on the surrounding buildings.

And deep in the North City Gardens.

Several princesses were still gathered in that side hall.

Princess Yunlu carefully instructed a eunuch, "Go and keep an eye on it. Report back as soon as there is a result. Don't delay."

The other princesses were also a little nervous.

Princess Shangqiu and Princess Yaqing were particularly nervous.

Their prizes are very precious.
