Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 1,219: The Altar of Fengshan
In the inner city of the imperial capital, there is a special area in the central area that is not controlled by any super family. It was in this area that Zuo Feng fought with the ghost catcher.
The fighting field covers an area of dozens of acres, but it is only one of the buildings in this area. There are many buildings of different sizes around it, and there are two huge buildings of the same size as the fighting field.
People of all shapes and sizes gathered from the outer city and inner city of the Xuanwu imperial capital to the central area, or more accurately, the largest building in the center.
Fengshan Altar is the earliest name of this place, but it has been called this way for countless years, or it can be said that only after Xuanwu re-established the imperial capital, a special Fengshan ceremony was held here, and no one has mentioned this name since then.
The "six major families" at that time worked together to assist the then king Xuan Yicao to defend the empire, and a grand ceremony was held on this Fengshan Altar.
The significance of the ceremony lies mainly in the fact that the various families worked together with great pain, and with the slogan of supporting Xuanyi Grass, called on all forces belonging to the Xuanwu Empire to jointly expel the three empires of Ye Lin, Fengtian and the Prairie that invaded Xuanwu.
Therefore, this Fengshan Altar became the most important place at that time, and it also represented a ritual unity between the king and the six major families.
It was also after that ceremony that the six major families did their best to lead the warriors of the Xuanwu Empire and in turn expelled the enemies of the three empires. The purpose of the Fengshan Altar was also changed afterwards. The Xuanwu Empire focused on the development of alchemy and also set up a four-year competition for the selection of medicine sons.
And this Fengshan Altar also naturally became an important place for the selection of medicine sons. The most grand convening of each selection of medicine sons and the final ceremony of enthroning medicine sons would be held here, and it has become the most formal ceremony venue in the Xuanwu Empire.
People gathered from all directions and entered the square from the four sides of the Fengshan Altar.
Judging from the environment here, it is roughly similar to the highest arena at the time, but the area is much larger.
The Fengshan Altar is surrounded by a vast circular platform, which extends outward and upward in a staircase shape. It is definitely not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people on each platform.
However, not everyone can come to this platform. The platform is divided into several areas separately. There will be a low wall in the adjacent areas, which does not prevent each other from looking at each other, but just reminds not to cross over.
The surrounding platforms are prepared for people with status and position, so the people who come to the platform must be the leaders of hundreds of warriors under their command at the worst.
There are naturally countless such people in the entire Xuanwu Empire. Looking at the many empires on the continent, such people are naturally too numerous to list.
However, there is a small area on the stand that is divided separately. In addition to the platform, this area also has a platform like an outstretched arm.
This area is exclusively owned by the empire's king, and that special platform is also specially prepared for the king. Others are not qualified to come here.
At present, the seat of the empire's leader is empty, and no one can be seen, including on several platforms nearby. Instead, the square below is crowded with people of all kinds.
Surrounded by the stands is a large square, where people of ordinary status and status gather. After all, even the most ordinary people can watch the prosperity of the Xuanwu Empire, and even those from other empires who do not want to reveal their identities can also watch in the square.
There is a high platform in the center of the square, which is made of white marble. Each big stone weighs thousands of pounds. After being cut flat and neatly, it is stacked in the center of the square. The platform looks magnificent and *, and the white color that is not stained with dust makes it more noble.
Almost two days have passed, and the only topic of discussion among the crowd is the selection of medicine sons. The title of medicine son is naturally the focus of attention in previous selections, but this year, the focus of people's discussion has added another Xuanwu treasure, the crystal of the imperial formation.
By obtaining the crystal of the control array, one can not only control part of the imperial capital's protective array, but also use it to crack and study the core of other arrays. It can be said that the existence of this crystal of the control array is equivalent to having a weapon to deal with arrays.
Of course, it cannot be said that by obtaining the crystal of the control array, all arrays in the world can be accepted, but at least with it in hand, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort when encountering array difficulties.
"This selection of medicine boys is probably the most lively one in many years. Those who perform well can obtain the qualification for the trial of the ancient wilderness. I am afraid this is the most important point for all families."
"Hehe, you only know one thing but not the other. The selection of medicine boys only selects a part of the candidates who participate in the trial of the ancient wilderness. Each family among the super families can still have one qualification to enter."
"Yes, the important things in the selection of medicine boys are the title of medicine boys and the crystal of the control array. These two things are what make people jealous and excited."
"Why did the king agree to take out the crystal of the control array? This thing should have been kept by the empire. If the title of medicine boy is obtained by someone with "evil intentions" this time, wouldn't it mean that even the treasure of the empire will be handed over to others?"
"Hey, this is not something we should worry about. You are not the kind of people who can think when you are the king and the elders. You dare to take it out as the highest prize, so you must have the title of Yaozi."
Several people in the crowd were talking loudly. It can be seen that although these people live at the bottom and do not have a high status, they can still accurately capture the news from all directions.
While they were talking, someone not far away slowly moved closer to this side, as if he wanted to hear what they said clearly.
One of these people was also an old "friend" of Zuo Feng. Lian Yun, the "black hand" who had said that he wanted to kill Zuo Feng, was among them.
At this moment, Lian Yun's face was a little pale, his eyes opened weakly, and his eyes stared around with a little lifeless. Occasionally, he yawned, and his body trembled subconsciously while yawning.
"Lian Lao, you are still in such a bad condition? Was it last night..."
"Don't say it, I've been tortured to death these days. I hope the matter of Xuanwu will be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I really don't know if I have a chance to walk out of Xuanwu alive."
"Lian Lao, you are in a bad mental state these days. Could it be your hallucination? Otherwise, how could you have it every night..."
"Huh? 'Hallucination'! This is not a hallucination at all. It's obvious that a master wants to 'kill me' on purpose. Every late night, there is a vague figure standing by the bed. I can feel the sharp short blade against the skin next to my neck, but when I open my eyes completely, there is no figure."
Lian Yun shook his head with some mental exhaustion, and said with a very regretful tone: "I looked at that figure, most likely it was the woman who was molested by me at the city gate. Oh, wrong, wrong, wrong."
Lian Yun said the word "wrong" three times in a row, and his regret was beyond words. A sturdy figure came from a distance. After seeing Lian Yun and the others, he walked over silently, just in time to hear Lian Yun's last words.
The man was as sturdy as a small mountain, with a beard like sharp needles, and his eyes were small but gleaming. He listened to Lian Yun's words, but he laughed in his heart. When he opened his mouth, he said: "Brother Lian Yun, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Although the identity of the other party cannot be determined now, since he dare not take action, it means that he has some concerns. As long as the whole Xuanwu is in chaos, I believe that no matter who that person is, he will no longer have the leisure to care about me."
Lian Yun glanced at the big man who came over, shook his head and said: "Lord An is open-minded, but I feel that the more I get to this critical moment, the less safe I am. Have you found out the identity of the group of people who entered the city that day in the past few days?"
Just At this time, an old man in his sixties suddenly appeared. As soon as he arrived, he said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, have you forgotten the purpose of coming here? The selection of medicine for Xuanwu will start today. You still have the leisure to discuss here. Lianyun, you'd better not bring your personal affairs here. If there is any trouble, you must wait until the matter here is settled before you talk about it."
As soon as the old man arrived, the few people who had just spoken immediately bowed their heads respectfully and kept silent. Lianyun was like a defeated rooster. At this moment, he was interrupted by the old man and dared not say a word.
Several people bowed to the old man who had just arrived, and said in a low voice: "Tenth Elder".
This old man turned out to be the Tenth Elder, one of the Ten Elders of the Elders of the Ye Lin Empire. It was this person who came to Yancheng to investigate the anomalies of heaven and earth. It was also this person who led people to capture Zuo Feng. If it weren't for the drunkard Xing Yezui secretly letting Zuo Feng go, he would have been forcibly taken back to Ye Lin by these Ten Elders.
The group of people greeted each other, not paying any attention to the surprised looks around them. Even if the selection of medicine children had just begun today, they didn't need to hide anymore.
There was another group of people who were somewhat similar to Ye Lin. There were quite a few of them, and their clothes were strange. The wide leather robe was draped over the shoulders, and tied around the waist with an animal tendon to fix the leather robe.
This outfit was not strange to the people in the Xuanwu Imperial Capital, because people from the prairie usually dressed like this.
After a large group of them walked into the square, they also dispersed to listen to what people were talking about. This practice was very similar to Ye Lin's group.
Just at this time, two wide stone doors on the stone wall behind the white jade platform were opened with a "rumble", attracting everyone's attention.
Behind this gate were the people participating in the selection. The opening of this door also meant that the people participating in the selection were about to appear.
