The long street is lively, with dusk smoke and scattered snow crossing the maple bridge, and the street is bustling with half plum blossoms and half floating catkins.
Even in the midst of winter and the rolling cold currents in the snow-capped Silver City, it is difficult to conceal the magnificence and richness of this thousand-year-old city.
The unicorn, whose snow-white hair exudes the light like a white star, pulls a magnificent gold jade cart and clatters along the snow-swept white stone path.
The poles and flags can be seen endlessly across the city, and the beautiful pavilions are full of singing and dancing.
Qiaomen is decorated with halberds, facing Wanjing below, with gold-tiled towers leaning against each other, and the color of a cold boat full of laden lakes.
Balian peeked out of the car window with a vegetable-colored face.
He covered his cheek with one hand, his Adam's apple rolling, as if he was about to vomit, but he forced himself to endure it.
The bustling ancient city scenery in front of you is like a dreamy scene with broken shadows, completely unreal.
As the wheels rolled and undulated, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness throughout his body, and his internal organs were almost squeezed together.
Fang Geyu was wrapped in a white-feathered crane cloak, lying on the soft floor of the carriage as if he were boneless, holding a small red clay stove to warm his hands.
He raised his eyelids lazily and looked at Balian, who had already lost half his life.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that I am really not blessed to receive the kindness of a beauty. The soup cakes I ate in my stomach today are probably already making a lot of noise in my stomach."
Bai Lian said feebly: "Why do you have to ride a carriage when traveling?"
Fang Geyu looked at him sideways, "This is the kind of pomp a young lady should have. If she doesn't ride in a carriage, do you think that I, like ordinary people, will walk on my feet?"
He said it so nicely, it was obvious that he saw him eating the food brought by the girls at noon and wanted to punish him.
Balian retorted: "Aren't your feet just for walking?"
Fang Geyu said confidently: "Didn't my feet hurt you? Do you really want me to get out of the car and walk?"
Balian was choked by him and completely lost his temper.
Today is the Poseidon Festival, and the long ancient streets of Shifang City are very lively.
The colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the military armors in the city were strict and uniform. They marched along the city roads with golden spears and long swords, and their formations were rigorous and without any stagnation.
The direction the army was heading was towards the high altar at the northern end of the city, along the endless sea in the northwest.
City Lord Fang You had already arrived first. He changed out of his regular clothes and wore a dark black gilded sacrificial robe, a crown and a broad belt, which made him look very majestic and tall.
His gentle temperament faded away, exuding an awe-inspiring majestic aura.
Fang You stood on the altar. There was no deacon of Qin Tower beside him. Instead, there was a man in black robe standing on the left side of him.
Compared with the formal sacrificial robes worn by City Lord Fang You, he did not have any extra accessories and was simply dressed in black robes.
But what is extremely eye-catching is that this man in black robe actually looks exactly like the Lord Fang You, with the same facial features and the same body shape.
The only difference is that although City Lord Fang You looks young and handsome, he has a beard on his face.
As for this man, his chin was smooth and beardless, and his tall figure looked slightly rickety, which just confirmed what Fang Geyu said that morning.
I think this person is Fang Chi, the second brother from the same mother as Fang You and Fang Geyu's second uncle.
Bailian put down the car curtain, suppressed the desire to retching, leaned on the inside of the car wall, and said:
"It can be seen that your uncle's power is indeed not small. Today's Poseidon Festival involves the entire Shifang City.
Only he is qualified to go to that altar and stand next to your father."
Fang Geyu said: "Nearly half of the seven elders are his people. Although Qin Lou is deeply loved by my father, in the final analysis, he is a woman.
In the minds of everyone, it is inevitable that she uses sex to serve others and has limited abilities.
As my father's closest sibling, my second uncle's cultivation is also unpredictable, so he is more able to convince everyone. Even my two arrogant brothers treat him with great respect."
Balian asked: "What about you?"
Fang Geyu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "In my heart, he is just my second uncle."
Balian fell silent.
Looking at it this way, things are quite tricky.
"Do you know what the Poseidon Festival is like?" Fang Geyu opened a corner of the car curtain and looked at the square.
Bailian said: "Shifang City is located in the northwest sea. With the power of one city, it can suppress the evil spirits in the sea area and not be invaded.
In addition to the contribution of Shifang City, the Lord of Snow City also reached a consensus agreement with the gods in the sea.
If a sea monster invades, she will protect the sea area with all her strength and use her spiritual power to purify the sea water so that the creatures in the sea will not be violated.
The gods in the sea will also protect Shifang City and provide Shifang City with a strong backing.
In order to show that the friendship between the two parties lasts forever, the Lord of Snow City specially established the Poseidon God Festival, and mobilized the people in the city to make offerings to the Poseidon for one day and show their faith.
To pray for good weather in the coming year is an extremely important ceremony in Shifang City."
"Not only is it important, the Poseidon Festival is related to Shifang City's luck, weather, and blessings.
Of course, what’s more important is that on the day Shifang City made an agreement with Poseidon, Poseidon peeled off a piece of his own heart and blessed Shifang City.”
Fang Geyu pointed to a huge scale stone in the center of the altar. Its color was like a seven-ray crystal, transparent and pure, and it was seven feet high.
It is like the condensed light of the sun and moon shining hundreds of thousands of feet below the deep sea.
The surface of the scale stone was as cold as winter, covered with a thick layer of fluffy white snow.
"The talisman-conferring ceremony in our Shifang City also comes from the scale stone. In our Shifang City, all the people of this city or the disciples of the clan.
All children over three years old must come to this scale stone to receive gifts and awaken their talisman spirits that year."
Fang Geyu took his hand back, held his snow cheeks, and said with a smile: "When I was three years old, it was here that I was questioned by the whole city, because as the future successor of Shifang City, I touched the scale stone
But didn't get any response.
The residents in Shifang City are blessed by the God of the Sea and have special bloodlines. Even those with ordinary qualifications can awaken their own talisman. The only difference is between strong and weak.
But that year, I realized that my talisman was empty.
There was no reaction from the talisman, so the name 'waste material' stuck with me for four years.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It wasn’t until I was seven years old that I showed them my amazing Talisman talent. Even if there is no Talisman as the basis, my ability to control Talisman does not require anyone.
Weak.
I was able to get rid of the name of 'waste'. You said these people... hmm? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Balian lowered his eyes: "Nothing? I just thought that my experience was rough, but I heard you talk about these past events as if nothing happened.
Only then did I realize that Fang Geyu, who had a golden branch and jade leaves, had such a difficult childhood."
Fang Geyu was slightly startled, then turned his gaze to the side, looked out the window at the tall tower in the distant snowy sky, and murmured:
"Some people are born noble, and some people are born ants, but no matter whether they are noble people or ants, who can be truly relaxed and happy."
"But your suspicion is not unreasonable. The second uncle is indeed suspected of making a wish.
Now he treats me very well, even better than my father, so that others think I am his biological daughter.
From this we can see how deep his obsession with my mother is. The deeper the obsession, the stronger the power of his wish."
Bai Lian hummed and looked out the car window, where he saw people on stage putting their palms on the stone in front of the altar.
Most of the people who tested the awakening talisman spirits were adult men and women, not three-year-old children as Fang Geyu said.
He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why does it seem that there are so many monks on stage to test the scale stone?"
Fang Geyu said: "I do business all over the world in Shifang City, so naturally I will not let go of any opportunity to make a fortune.
The scale stone is not only open to the inside, but also to the outside world, but it is free for the inside.
Externally, you have to hand over a thousand high-grade spiritual stones before you can take the stage to try."
When he heard the shocking number reported by Fang Geyu, Bai Lian took a deep breath.
Shifang City is really capable of getting rid of thousands of top-quality spiritual stones.
Today, there are tens of thousands of people under the altar, and everyone has to go up there.
In just one day's work, the spiritual stones Shifang City earned were enough to carve out an entire country.
Every year the three Tiandao sects beckon their disciples and use compasses to detect spiritual roots, which are tested free of charge for the common people.
When we arrive at Shifang City, we will test whether there are talismans in our body, and we will need to collect a thousand high-grade spirit stones.
This appetite is not small.
Why couldn't Fang Geyu see what Bai Lian was thinking? She sneered and said, "You might as well take a look at those monks who came on stage to test with scale stones. Apart from three-year-old children, how many of those monks can make scales test?"
The stone is shiny?"
Bai Lian observed carefully for a while, but found that there were many people on the stage for testing.
Those three-year-old children who came on stage put their palms on them ignorantly, and the radiance emitted by the scales was stronger or weaker.
But when an adult monk takes the stage, he is rarely able to inspire brilliance.
Fang Geyu continued: "Shifang City is protected by my mother-in-law and blessed by the sea god. All the people who grow up in this land have unique talents in Talismans.
Through the power of the scale stone at the age of three, the potential of the Talisman Spirit in the body can be stimulated. With the spiritual power accumulated over time, one can become an outstanding Talisman Master even without spiritual roots.
But for this group of outsiders, awakening the Talisman Spirit is an extremely rare and great achievement.
The scale stone has the power to stimulate the human body's potential. Although these thousand high-grade spiritual stones seem to be in vain, they are betting on the one-thousandth possibility.
If we can succeed and awaken the talisman spirit, our spiritual power will increase dramatically overnight, thus achieving dual cultivation of talisman and martial arts, and our future achievements will be immeasurable."
"I see……"
Fang Geyu glanced at Balian and said, "How about it, you look like you are not short of money, why don't you go up and try this scale stone.
The Poseidon Festival is held once a year, and if you can awaken the talisman spirit, it will be of great benefit and no harm to you."
Just as Balian was about to reply, a voice came from outside the car:
"Unicorn, Golden Jade Car, this is Miss Fang San's vehicle, right? I don't know who is in the car, is it Miss Fang San?"
This voice is...
The son of the Golden Fairy, Mu Yunye?
How could he appear in such a place?
Bai Lian looked at Fang Geyu meaningfully.
Fang Geyu frowned, opened the car curtain, and looked at Mu Yunye impatiently: "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Seeing that it was really Fang Geyu who was in the car, Mu Yunye's face showed a hint of joy, who would have thought that he would come up and cover his face with such ruthless words.
The son of a dignified golden fairy was so disrespected by a little mortal woman.
Mu Yunye only frowned slightly and did not show much discomfort.
His perfect face stood out in the sunlight, indescribably handsome and charming, and could easily win the favor of girls of Fang Geyu's age.
"It is such a fate that I can meet Miss Fang San's car. This must be God's arrangement. I wonder if you are lucky enough to get out of the car and talk to Miss Fang San."
Of course, whether it is his handsomeness or charm, that is only for young girls.
This does not include Fang Geyu.
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Fang Geyu looked tired, even for this handsome immortal king who has been in the clouds all year round...
He also looked completely helpless and looked like he was looking at vomit in the ditch.
Mu Yunye narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not show any dissatisfaction at being slighted. He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Third is really interesting. We just met at the night banquet a few days ago, so how can we not know each other?"
Fang Geyu sneered and said: "Unfortunately, I have many problems, face blindness is one of them. I can't remember so many mediocre faces. Instead of arguing here, it's better to report my name directly.
"
"The son of the Golden Fairy, Mu Yunye."
However, the person who announced his name was not Mu Yunye himself. Instead, the voice came from inside the carriage.
Mu Yunye's eyes narrowed, and he raised his slender hand on the car curtain, and then stretched out a pale and slender hand to completely open the car curtain that was lazily opened.
The light fell into the dim car, and the smoke from the incense burner in front of the case was thin. Only Fang Geyu, who was dressed in a noble manner, could be seen in the car.
There was actually a handsome young man, as fair as jade, with gentle and meaningful eyebrows, smiling warmly at him.
"Mr. Mu Xian, it's time to say goodbye to you at the night banquet. You are really well."
Mu Yunye's shrunken pupils slowly returned to normal under Balian's smiling gaze, and he said with a calm smile:
"It turns out to be Mr. Ji. It's really strange that Mr. Ji would come to this Poseidon Festival with Miss Fang San.
I remember that this unicorn comes from the Penglai Immortal Beast and is a relic left by the Lord of Snow City. For more than ten years, the third lady has never allowed a second person to drive in this car. I wonder when this rule was broken?"
Fang Geyu didn't seem to have much desire to talk to him. He rolled his eyelids and said, "Do I have the obligation to answer your questions?"
Mu Yunye smiled faintly and said: "Third Miss is not obliged to answer my question, but maybe Third Miss doesn't know yet? I have already passed the scale stone test."
He raised two fingers and tapped his temples twice. His eyebrows flickered, and the spiritual light formed a tiger-shaped mark. Looking at the outline, it turned out to be the alien beast Zou Wu?!
The purity of its talisman spirit is even greater than that of her two brothers' '梼杌' and '天狼'.
The two young masters of the Fang family are the sons of the previous city lord, although they are both boys.
But after all, he has the blood of Shifang, and being able to awaken these two ancient talisman spirits is within the normal scope.
But Mu Yunye came from Heavenly Court and had nothing to do with Shifang City. It was simply unbelievable that he could awaken a strange beast spirit talisman like 'Zouwu' in one fell swoop.
When the immortal clan awakens the talisman spirit beast, it is tantamount to adding more power to a tiger, and it has to be envied by thousands of people.
Fang Geyu frowned and heard Mu Yunye say softly with a smile: "I have heard that the evaluation criteria for selecting a son-in-law proposed by City Lord Fang You contains the most important condition.
It means that you need to pass the Scale Stone Trial, awaken the Fuling Spirit, and win or lose based on the purity level of the Fuling Spirit, I don’t know if that’s true or not?”
