Chapter 723: Soul Sacrifice Festival and Flower Blossom Party
The process of repairing the array went smoothly. After Mo Juren got the array plate, he went deep into the bottom of the abyss of demonic energy and placed it according to the position indicated on the drawing.
After doing all this, Mo Juren said goodbye without further delay. As for the subsequent repair of the formation, Wei Wuya and others will naturally worry about it.
A few months later, Mo Juren first went to the Tianhua Building headquarters of Lingfeng Kingdom and made an explanation with Xin Ruyin, and then went directly south to Yuanwu Kingdom and entered the Jiqing Sect.
The person who greeted him was not Ling Qing, but Nangong Wan.
After asking, I found out that Liao Qing and Ye Xiyue both chose to retreat not long after they came back, while Nangong Wan stayed to protect the two of them and take care of the Jiqing Sect at the same time.
As for Master Zhong and the woman surnamed Le of the Mulan tribe, they had already been picked up by their tribe.
After learning about the situation, Mo Juren did not disturb Qing, but also made some explanations and arrangements to Nangong Wan, and then set off again.
…
In a border war in the past, both the Mulan tribe and the Tiannan monks suffered heavy losses, but the final beneficiaries were the Tutu people.
The latter was more powerful and even looked at Tiannan with the same eye. As a last resort, the Mulan tribe and the Tiannan monks had to put aside their old grudges and switch from enemies to allies.
Such a rapid change really shocked the eyes of countless people, especially the sudden ones, who had to temporarily restrain their greed and did not take another step towards Tiannan.
With the permission of the four major forces, the Mulan people currently live in the two southernmost countries of the Nine-Nation Alliance. Although it is a bit crowded, at least they have a place to live and will not be displaced.
The southernmost Fengyuan country is one of the countries occupied by the Muran people. It is sad to say that in the endless years in the past, the Muran people have plundered this place again and again, but they did not expect that one day they would completely settle here.
, and even Fengyuan Jing, the capital of the country, has now become the holy court of the Mulan people.
On this day, a giant flying boat suddenly appeared in the sky somewhere more than ten miles away from Fengyuan Jing. When it noticed the looming forbidden air formation ahead, the flying boat stopped instantly.
Inside the cabin, there were two figures, a man and a woman, sitting opposite each other. The man was naturally Mo Juren, and the woman, with a graceful figure, peerless appearance, and charming movements, was none other than Wei Yurou, the Blood Palace Mistress.
The two of them had made an agreement in the past to go to Dajin to explore ancient ruins together. Naturally, Mo Juren would not break his promise, so he called out to each other when passing by the Bloody Mountains.
"The Tower of Eternal Life is the real core forbidden area of the Mulan people. Foreigners are absolutely not allowed to enter it. Even if Master Zhong makes a promise, he may not be able to fulfill it." Wei Yurou's eyes as gentle as water blinked slightly and chuckled.
reminded him.
"No one can take away something that belongs to Mo. Moreover, it is bound by an oath, so the other party should not regret it?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly, without any worry in his expression.
"Things are not as simple as you think." Upon hearing such domineering words, Wei Yurou's bright eyes suddenly lit up, but she continued,
"The Tower of Eternal Life can be said to be a real treasure. It contains countless treasures and inheritances from the history of the Mulan clan. Even though the resources on the grassland are barren, the accumulation over such a long period of time is definitely an astonishing number.
Didn't they promise to let you freely choose three treasures? If that were the case, wouldn't they go crazy if you went straight to the top of the tower and took away several treasures enshrined by the Mulan clan?
Therefore, it is inevitable to do some tricks in advance. Although you are allowed to choose freely, you will not really be able to see the top treasures by then."
"That's fine. I've never thought about touching other people's clan treasures, as long as it's not too much." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. So what if it's a clan treasure? Is it comparable to the Tongtian Lingbao?
?Let alone the Mulan people, there is not even one in the whole of Tiannan.
Naturally, he doesn't care much about it. What really matters to him is the long-term transaction, which is related to the improvement of bloodline, and is much more important than a few dispensable treasures.
"I used to think you were quite stingy, but I didn't expect you to have such a generous side." Wei Yurou smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with irresistible charm.
"Stingy!" Mo Juren was speechless, but he was too lazy to defend himself. He was about to put down the tea bowl in his hand, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned to look out the window, which was exactly where Fengyuan Jing was.
Wei Yurou also reacted and looked at the other party. Several escaping lights suddenly appeared in her sight, and they were close in a blink of an eye.
She was very familiar with the old man who was leading the group. He was clearly the first spiritual master of the Mulan tribe. He was accompanied by several great masters, which showed that he attached great importance to this reception.
"Fellow Taoist Mo has come from afar, and Zhu is here to welcome you." Divine Master Zhu cupped his hands and took the initiative to say hello.
"You're welcome, Fellow Taoist. It's Mo who's being presumptuous." A deep voice sounded, and the cabin door opened, and Mo Juren and Wei Yurou slowly walked out together.
Master Zhu was not surprised to see Mo Juren, but Wei Yurou's appearance made him look a little surprised. He couldn't help but secretly wonder, how did these two get together?
Wei Yurou was considered an older generation of immortal cultivators, not far behind him, and she had gained a great reputation in the past.
Not to mention his strength, this person's personality and behavior are very different. Could he be related to Mo Juren like that?
Facing the once magnificent and extraordinary woman at the same time, Divine Master Zhu couldn't help but feel a bit of gossip. Of course, he just thought about it, but he didn't dare to show it.
Putting away his thoughts, he immediately took the initiative to invite:
"This is not the place to talk. The two Taoists would like to go to the Holy Court to talk."
"Sorry to bother you." Mo Juren nodded, waved his hand and put the flying boat into the Wanhun Gourd, and then flew towards Fengyuan Jing under the guidance of the other party.
As the former capital of Fengyuan Kingdom, Fengyuan Jing's infrastructure is still very good. Even if it is not as good as some big cities in the interior, it is not much worse.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Especially after the Mulan people moved in, they moved the Holy Court here and carried out drastic renovation and expansion on the original basis of the city, causing its area to expand.
Several times more.
Many architectural styles have also been greatly changed, reducing the original characteristics of the Tiannan people and adding a lot of exotic customs of the grassland nomads.
What surprised Mo Juren was that the large area outside Fengyuan Capital Pool was filled with temporary tents. Countless Mulan people came in and out, and most of them were young men and women.
"It seems that the nobles have gradually become accustomed to today's lifestyle." After entering the city and looking at the crowds coming and going, Mo Juren said with a smile, but he was surprised to see that there were not only mortals in these crowds, but also the number of magicians.
Quite a lot as well.
This is rare in Tiannan. Only in the Chaotic Star Sea can humans and practitioners live together. The grasslands are special. Any tribe with a slight size will have an immortal master stationed there.
"The situation forces us to do it, even if we don't get used to it!" Hearing Mo Juren's emotion, Master Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
They originally lived in the vast grasslands, mainly tribes, making a living by herding, but now they have settled down like the local people in Tiannan, so the process will naturally not be so smooth.
Especially in the first few years, the tribesmen never stopped complaining, even some magicians were no exception. It was only later that they gradually got used to it and accepted the reality little by little.
"Being alive is the most important thing. Compared with the reproduction of the ethnic group, these changes in customs are just trivial matters." Wei Yurou suddenly spoke and reminded her with a hint.
After hearing these words, the expressions of several great masters changed slightly. Master Zhu's eyes also flashed slightly, and then he replied in a neutral tone:
"What Palace Master Wei said is not unreasonable, but even if the way of living changes, some other things will not change."
"I hope so." Wei Yurou chuckled and said nothing more.
Soon after, everyone arrived at the central area of the city, and what they saw was a palace complex. It was not the original palace, but brand-new buildings that had been completely rebuilt.
There is also a huge square in the area in front of the palace complex. A majestic tower that is hundreds of feet tall and full of exotic style stands in the center. The surface is densely carved with countless mysterious patterns, and there are even more excavated holes every one foot away.
There are small oil lamps placed on each of the holes that are half a foot square.
There was a sea of people around, but it was different from the hustle and bustle in the streets. They all stood respectfully around the tower with solemn expressions, kneeling down to worship from time to time, their eyes full of piety.
"This is the 'Soul Sacrifice Festival' of our tribe. On these days every year, countless tribesmen from different tribes go to the Holy Court to participate. In addition to worshiping the Holy Spirit, there are also many entertainment activities with singing and dancing, collectively called 'Qianqiang Festival'.
At the Flower Party, young men will also take this opportunity to find their partners, and the successful ones will receive the blessing of the saint...
In the past, these were all carried out in the grassland, but now they have to be restricted to the city, which has led to some traditions having to be changed accordingly. For example, the subsequent flower gatherings can only be held in a certain area outside the city.
Now..." Having said this, Divine Master Zhu suddenly sighed, with a lot of helplessness evident in his expression.
"So that's it!" Mo Juren was suddenly enlightened, and he immediately thought of the countless tents outside the city. They thought they were young people from other tribes who came to attend the Soul Sacrifice Festival and the Flower Blossom Party.
"Mo, the famous figure of the Soul Festival, has also heard about it. As for some changes, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect the results. I think even if the morning flower party is moved outside the city, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the young people.
Bar?"
As soon as these words came out, all the great masters smiled in awe, and Master Zhong even laughed dumbly, nodded and replied,
"What Fellow Taoist Mo said is absolutely true. Young men's yearning for their significant other can indeed overcome any 'difficulties and obstacles'. Speaking of which, tonight is the busiest time of the Soul Festival, so you two Taoists might as well stay more.
One day, let’s experience the festive atmosphere of our tribe.”
"It's all right." The other party invited him so kindly, so Mo Juren naturally wouldn't reject it to spoil the mood, and besides, such a trivial matter would not affect anything.
After a while, everyone had crossed the square, entered the palace complex area, and finally stopped in front of a certain side hall.
At this time, in the area in front of the palace, there were two rows of young girls standing. Each of them was wearing brocade skirts, with good looks, and had cultivation levels ranging from Qi training stage to foundation building stage.
"Since these two Taoist friends are here, they are distinguished guests of our clan. You might as well take a day off today and go shopping in the city in the evening, or go to the flower gardening party outside the city, etc.
As for the transaction, fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. You saved the lives of Junior Brother Zhong and the Saint during your trip to the Falling Demon Valley, and you have done a great favor to this clan. You will never go back on the promise you made. We will explain it in detail tomorrow.
Discuss." Master Zhu gave the suggestion, but Mo Juren had no objection and nodded immediately.
"Okay, just follow what fellow Taoist said."
"Well, you two will stay here in the side hall for the time being. If you need anything during this period, just ask and I will do my best to satisfy you." Divine Master Zhu nodded slightly, and then summoned a young girl in the foundation building stage who was leading him, and asked him.
After giving serious instructions, he left with all the great masters.
"I've met two seniors..." The leading girl bowed respectfully. Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she showed no timidity at all when facing two strong men at the Nascent Soul Stage who were still foreigners, and she was quite calm.
"Lead the way." Mo Juren and Wei Yurou looked at each other, with a flash of admiration in both of them, and then followed each other towards the palace gate.
The interior space is very large, and the decoration style is also different from Tiannan, with rich grassland characteristics.
What is even more special is that a large number of runes are carved on the palace floor and walls, stone pillars, ceilings and many other hidden parts. There is some subtle echo between them, and it is obvious that some kind of formation is arranged.
Wei Yurou naturally discovered this, and her dark eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, but they relaxed again in the blink of an eye, thinking to herself that she was really too cautious.
As a member of the Nine-Nation Alliance, the grievances between him and the Mulan people were too deep, so he subconsciously developed such a vigilance, but he forgot that the two parties were already allies.
In fact, whether it was the previous border war or the battle against the ancient trolls in Fallen Demon Valley a few years ago, Mo Juren's increasingly incredible strength was clearly demonstrated.
Even if this place is really some kind of trap, it may not be able to trap him. Once he is allowed to escape, he will be in big trouble.
The Mulan people are not that stupid, not to mention that during the last trip to the Devil's Valley, Mo Juren was kind to them.
Soon, the two of them entered two rooms next to each other under the guidance of the girl, and settled down respectively.
At the same time, in a spacious cave in the Akadama Mountains to the west of Fengyuan Jing, a woman in green clothes suddenly opened her eyes.
The willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and the woman's white jade hand suddenly moved towards the void. Suddenly, a ray of fire flew in and was caught in the palm of her hand.
What was revealed was naturally the communication talisman. As a ray of divine consciousness penetrated into it, a message was instantly transmitted into the sea of consciousness.
"We're here so soon! Could it be that the matter at Boundless Sea has been resolved?" The woman murmured to herself, turned to look outside the cave, and said again,
"The Flower Blossom Festival is about to begin, and it's time for me to prepare."
