Competition venues have been established in the four directions outside Yuezhou City. According to the four directions of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, there are ten venues on each side. There are ordinary flat fields, spring plowing fields, rocky fields, and wooded fields. There are also water-flowing bamboo enclosures.

The main venue is located on the east side of the Qinglong. There is a bluestone platform that was built in a hurry and many people were mobilized to work quickly. Five wooden stakes were set up at the four corners and in the center.

The first day of April can be said to be the most important day in Yuezhou City in recent decades or even hundreds of years.

At Chenshi, outside the east city of Yuezhou, there was already a sea of ​​people near Qinglong's main stadium, which was only a hundred feet away from the nearest city pavilion.

The unknown warriors and Confucian scholars surrounded the place.

At this moment, there is no need for the main court. A wooden high platform has been built on the bluestone platform, and several officials and some Wuling leaders are standing on it.

From the stage, I looked around and saw a dense mass of people. A little further away, there were warriors standing on the roofs of some pavilions in the city. It was impossible to count them.

The great eunuch Zhang Liangxi who came from Chengtian Mansion sat on the chair in the center. He represented the majesty of the emperor.

The dozen or so martial arts masters were not the ones with the highest martial arts skills, but were the leaders of ten major martial arts sects. At this moment, they were also in agitated moods, and their eyes frequently scanned the countless warriors outside and the scroll on the table on the stage.

It is hard to say that such a grand event will happen again in this life.

"Father-in-law, it's time."

"Um."

Zhang Liangxi stood up and first bowed his hands to the officials around him, not forgetting the courtesy to those martial arts masters.

"The old slave represents the emperor, so I will do my best to deal with this matter!"

"Father-in-law, please!" "Of course I have to trouble my father-in-law!"

Needless to say, officials needless to say that a martial arts master would betray the court at such a moment, so Zhang Liangxi slowly walked to the edge of the high platform alone, while the two guards behind him took the scrolls and followed.

Zhang Liangxi took a deep breath and spoke the next moment, using his deep inner strength to burst into an extremely resonant voice.

"Inherit the emperor's kindness and feel grateful for the military fortune of the world——"

Zhang Liangxi's voice was like thunder, suppressing all the noisy sounds in an instant. Everyone looked at the people on the high platform in shock. Even some of the martial arts masters on the stage had expressions of shock. No one expected this. The eunuch's internal strength is so terrifying.

"Today, heroes from all over the world gathered in Yuezhou - taking advantage of this occasion...the emperor gave me mountains, rivers, immortals, furnaces, and pictures -"

As Zhang Liangxi's words fell, it seemed as if the voice echoed throughout the city for less than half a month, and the two guards behind him carefully opened the scroll slowly and carefully, one on the left and the other on the right.

Several civil servants and military officers who were on the stage looked at each other and wondered who would take the lead. They also stood up and walked to the edge, carefully looking at the mountain and river fairy furnace pictures on one side.

More than a dozen Wuling masters looked at each other and were no longer reserved. This kind of opportunity did not come randomly. They also got up and went to the other side to watch this famous painting through the ages.

Although these people said nothing, they felt the shock in their hearts.

It is worthy of being called the Immortal Furnace Picture of Mountains and Rivers. Once this painting appeared, all the pictures in the world were dimmed. Could it be that it was really made by an immortal?

These people on the stage can see the scroll clearly, but because of the distance, not many people in the audience can see the scroll clearly. Even so, everyone seems extremely excited.

Of course, there are also some people with profound skills and outstanding eyesight who can clearly see the paintings on the high platform, and they can't help but admire them at this moment.

"It is truly a priceless masterpiece that will last through the ages. This painting should only exist in heaven, and it is difficult to see it several times on earth..."

A long-bearded man stared blankly at the high platform and muttered to himself. There were several scribes beside him, but they couldn't see clearly and were in a hurry.

"Oh, how can I see it from such a high place!" "That is to say, how can I see the true face of a famous painting?"

"How can this be good!"

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was standing on the roof a hundred feet away from the high platform, looking at the scroll in the distance that was almost as small as just a little bit in trance.

When the scroll was unfolded, Yi Shuyuan could feel the artistic conception even though they were so far apart. He even felt that it was more obvious at this distance.

Why does the artistic conception become more apparent when it is far away?

Yi Shuyuan's heart moved and he looked at the surrounding pavilions in the city and the fields and mountains in the distance.

Since the artistic conception of the mountain, river and fairy furnace is heaven, earth and the fairy furnace, am I being too narrow-minded if I just regard it as a painting?

With this kind of mentality, Yi Shuyuan went to see the painting again, and immersed his mind in it, connecting the pavilions in the city, the fields and trees in the distance outside, all of them with that painting.

"This is......"

Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but lost his voice.

In a daze, Yi Shuyuan only felt that the scroll and the heaven and earth were no longer separated from each other. He only felt that the scroll began to extend continuously, gradually becoming infinitely large and wide. Everything he could see was a painting, and there was something more real but...

The alchemy furnace with dim light...

Suddenly, there was a golden light shining.

Death——

A golden rainbow-like light spread across the heaven and earth until it reached Yi Shuyuan and turned into a huge golden bridge...

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's mind was also shocked, and he could not stabilize the extension of the artistic conception in his heart. He was in a trance again, his body trembled slightly, and then he woke up.

Looking at the scroll on the high platform in the distance, it seemed as if everything just happened was in a dream painting, but it felt doubly real.

"I see..."

Yi Shuyuan sighed and shook his head gently. Is this the difference between immortals and mortals?

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan had a clearer understanding of the extraordinary nature of the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace Picture, but his persistence in the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace Picture disappeared.

The throbbing in Yi Shuyuan's heart gradually subsided, and he could calmly look at the scroll in the distance.

Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, be in awe and have high aspirations, move the heart of heaven and earth, and feel the emotion of all things.

"I am very happy to have such an expert among the immortals! Thank you very much, senior!"

After speaking, regardless of the reactions of the crowds of people around him, Yi Shuyuan put his hands together and straightened his arms, bowing in the direction of the mountain and river fairy furnace diagram.

There were also people around who noticed Yi Shuyuan's actions, but not many people paid attention to it. After all, the famous painting was in front of him, and many people were quite excited. There was more than one person who behaved strangely.

Yi Shuyuan's face was filled with joy, but he also had some doubts. What he wondered now was how could such a treasure be passed down from the Dayong royal family?

The Dayong royal family doesn't know the value of this painting, don't the people in the world who practice immortals, demons and monsters know it?

It is only preserved as a famous painting passed down from generation to generation. How can it be preserved just by putting it in the palace?

Yi Shuyuan can now be calm when facing this painting, but he does not think that other practitioners can be calm when facing it.

Suddenly, Yi Shuyuan felt something again. He looked not far away, and it turned out that the ghosts and gods of Yuezhou City had appeared, and there were more than one of them. The one wearing a crown was obviously the Great City God of Yuezhou City.

These ghosts and gods are also admiring the paintings and even talking to each other.

Obviously, although Yi Shuyuan was not far away, the ghosts and gods did not notice him, probably because mortals could not hear him and the ghosts and gods talked more casually.

"It is indeed the authentic painting of the Immortal Furnace of Mountains and Rivers. This current Emperor Dayong is so courageous!"

"What Lord Cheng Huang said is absolutely true. Two hundred years ago, when I got second place in the exam, I had a chance to see the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace Picture in the palace. It was like a lifetime ago!"

"Hehehe, it's a pity that although this painting is extraordinary, I don't know who painted it."

"A mortal can create such paintings. No wonder ancient and modern literati want to promote the person who created this painting as an unknown painting saint..."

...

The words of ghosts and gods had become fainter on Yi Shuyuan's side, but they were still clear. When he heard the next few sentences, Yi Shuyuan frowned.

Can mortals create such paintings?

Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but look at the ghosts and gods over there. Apparently, the ghosts and gods over there didn't notice him at all. He didn't know whether it was because there were too many warriors covering up his aura, or they didn't see through his changes.

But Yi Shuyuan felt a little uneasy inside.

They say "mortal"?

Yi Shuyuan had a good idea in his heart, and deep down he actually thought highly of himself, but after seeing the paintings of mountains and rivers and the immortal furnace, he was really convinced. If such a painter were a mortal, would there be any immortals in the world?

Did the Great City God of Yuezhou not know that this painting was a fairy work? Didn't they discover the fairy charm in this painting? Isn't such a fairy furnace obvious enough?

Yi Shuyuan had an absurd and bold guess in his mind, but it was probably not far from the truth.

Including the Great City God of Yuezhou, these ghosts and gods simply cannot recognize the wonders of the Immortal Furnace Picture of Mountains and Rivers. They even do not understand the meaning of mountains, rivers and alchemy furnaces. In other words, the immortal way shown in this painting may be very different from the normal one.

The number of immortal paths?

While Yi Shuyuan was thinking about it in his mind, the eunuch on the high platform was still speaking, but those voices seemed very far away to Yi Shuyuan.

"The martial arts platform in all directions, beating the drums - the heroes of the world, using martial arts to make friends -"

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong..."

Bursts of drums sounded at this moment. Strong men were beating drums from four directions outside the city, southeast, northwest, and the city. The sound of drums overwhelmed all the noise and seemed to spread throughout Yuezhou City.

Yi Shuyuan also came back to his senses at this moment and looked at the high platform again.

If they really can't discover the magic of the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace Diagram, does that mean that others can't discover it either?

Thinking like this, Yi Shuyuan raised his head and looked at the sky. The Wuhun Heavenly Drum was also ringing at this moment, but no god fell from the sky.

As the sound of drums resounded through Yuezhou City, all the warriors were excited, and the martial arts masters began to announce the rules of the competition on the high platform.

But in fact, this rule had been notified throughout the city two days ago, and notices were even posted.

Many warriors began to squeeze towards certain positions and took out their respective road guides for the court officials to check. A Fei and Duan Silie were naturally among them.

There are three large wooden boxes placed directly to the west of the main venue of Qinglong, guarded by many guards. The warriors are divided into multiple columns to be inspected around the bluestone platform of the main venue, and are directed to different wooden boxes according to their age.

Finally it was Ah Fei's turn, and in front of him was a dark-skinned Gundam military attache.
