On the circular high platform, on the first floor due south and close to the west, there is nearly half of the large area, and until just now, not a single figure has appeared.
This best area is reserved for those who actually hold power in the Xuanwu Empire. At this moment, the people participating in the medicine selection competition enter the square, and according to the rules, the super aristocratic families must also enter after them, showing that they have
The respect of those who participated in the drug competition.
The order of appearance seems to be insignificant, but in fact it vaguely contains a difference in status.
The square below will be opened first, and those without identity or status will be the first batch of people to appear here. After that, the surrounding areas on the stands will be opened one by one, which is the range that various small and medium-sized forces can enter.
After that, it was time for the young talents who participated in the competition to appear, and of course they were the focus of everyone's attention. Although they were the protagonists of the opening ceremony of the competition, they could not compare with the highest power of the entire Xuanwu Empire.
layer, so after them, each super family will appear.
The entire venue is in charge of the master of ceremonies, and every important link and every detail is controlled by these people. In order to show that the Xuanwu Empire attaches great importance to Ye Yaozi, ordinary people can hardly see these candidates and super
There is a slight time difference when entering the Maison.
People from the Su family, the Yao family, the Gui family, the painter, the Lin family, and the Wang family all appeared on the high platform one after another. Each family naturally has its own place, although it seems that these families
The areas are connected together, but in fact they are still separated from each other.
Su Ying, the head of the Su family, Su Lan, the head of the Yao family, Yaozhuang, the head of the Yao family, Ni Tianju, the head of the Gui family, Onizuka, the head of the Gui family, and Gui Chao, the head of the Gui family. These people led the elders of their respective families and walked in one after another.
After that came Hua Yuan, the head of the painter family, followed by the painter Wu Hu, Lin Dong, the head of the Lin family, Lin Ya, the marshal, Wang Yuan, the head of the Wang family, and Wang Yunshi, the only female among all the marshals.
Although these families have had countless frictions behind their backs, and some have even fought many wars in inaccessible places, in front of everyone in the world, they all maintain a warm smile on each other, like old friends they have not seen for many years.
Chat enthusiastically with each other.
The appearance of these super aristocratic families naturally caused a commotion in the surrounding stands and the square below. Because many people clearly remember that the competition is held every four years, but they have never seen any of it in decades.
The heads and commanders of all the super aristocratic families have arrived one after another.
This time, all the important figures from all the super aristocratic families were present for the selection of medicines, which made anyone with a discerning eye immediately smell something unusual.
However, without giving everyone time to discuss and digest, a stone door was opened in the north direction of the stand, which is also the direction of Emperor Mountain. A dozen bent servants came in. After entering, they crawled on the ground one by one, leaving behind
Make a passage.
Anyone with some status in the Xuanwu Empire knows that the leader of the country, Xuan Hong, is about to arrive.
There is a passage on that platform. The passage does not lead outside the Fengchan Altar. The passage extends directly downwards, extending straight from the ground into the Emperor Mountain.
Therefore, the king Xuan Hong does not need to put on a show of being both a carriage and a guard like others. Just coming from the bottom of the Emperor Mountain without anyone noticing is enough to show that he is the king of the Xuanwu Empire.
of extraordinary status.
He was wearing rich clothes and a high crown. On the surface, he looked less than forty years old, but his eyes were full of sophistication and vicissitudes of life. Behind him, an old man had a slightly stooped body and followed closely behind him with his head lowered.
It is Qu Li who is attached to the country's leader Xuan Hong and whose status has gradually increased in the past ten years.
Xuan Hong slowly came to the edge of the high platform, and his appearance immediately caused a change. Countless people in the square below bowed their heads and saluted, and some even prostrated on the ground piously, expressing their respect for this country in a way that was almost worshiping a god.
The humility and reverence of the Lord.
In the hearts of the people at the bottom of Xuanwu, the king of the Xuanwu Empire is the real master. The six major families are like six pillars supporting the stability of the entire empire. Because of this, they value Xuanhong more.
Value the important identity of the king.
However, although there were many people on the square saluting or worshiping, there were still a small number of people who did not show any expression. The small and medium-sized aristocratic families on the surrounding high platforms only looked at the king's place with extremely normal eyes, and looked at this person.
There is some situation in their mind.
Xuan Hong had a faint smile on his face and waved around, but his eyes were emitting a red light. He swept coldly across the square below, and there were three waves of people that made his gaze pause for a moment.
Among them, a group of ten elders of the Ye Lin Empire, a group of people led by an old man wearing animal skins, and a group of people wearing coarse cloth gowns all received special attention from Xuan Hong.
'Humph, in your eyes at this moment I am just a puppet king of Xuanwu, but soon you will know who is the real person in control of this empire. Since you are involved in Xuanwu's affairs, I will definitely let you "no"
This trip is a waste of time.'
While thinking secretly in his heart, Xuan Hong's eyes slowly moved away and glanced at the surrounding stands. The small and medium-sized forces of the Xuanwu Empire were swept away by Zuo Feng's gaze, but his eyes became increasingly cold.
cold.
'Over the years, you have attached yourself to those super aristocratic families, and each of you seems to be in trouble. But this Xuanwu Empire belongs to my Xuan family. After this incident, if you still attach to those families, I don't mind sending you
They will also be eradicated, and the Xuanwu Empire will eventually return to the control of my Xuan family. Those who follow will live, and those who go against will die!'
While looking back, Xuan Hong seemed to have accidentally passed by the six super aristocratic families around him. These super aristocratic families were the thorn in his side. He wished he could destroy all these families in a flash, but he knew
I can't express my thoughts yet.
Therefore, he tried not to have too much eye contact with the other party. After just a casual glance, his eyes finally rested on the white marble platform below.
The first group of nine people entered the venue. These were the people who participated in the final competition of the drug selection. They were also the people who received the most attention in the drug selection.
In addition to these people, there were others slowly walking out behind them, and among this group of people there were also old friends of Zuo Feng.
Painter's Hua Qi, the Medicine Sect disciples Cheng Tianhao and Duan Xia, in addition to a few of them, there were more than a dozen people. These people filed in. It was not because their identities were more important than those who participated in the final competition. These people were all
He is someone who did not get the first place in the county and city selection competitions.
In addition to selecting the best person for the empire, the Yaozi Competition also needs to give the best people a chance to show themselves.
Although Hua Qi, Cheng Tianhao and others did not qualify for the final competition, they will definitely become famous in the Xuanwu Empire after passing this competition, and they will also receive attention from all parties.
There is a second reason why these people are here, and that is that after today's opening ceremony, the second batch of people who appear will compete to test the medicine on the spot.
Although this kind of competition has nothing to do with Yaozi's title, it is to warm up the field for the final competition. In addition, the selection of Yaozi this time also involves the ancient trial.
There will also be two people qualified to participate in the ancient wilderness trial.
More than 20 people divided into two teams and came to the center of the high platform. The leader of the country, Xuan Hong, walked unhurriedly towards the special arm-exploring platform where he was. It was about the same width as two people standing side by side, and one person walked on
The top is just right.
Xuan Hong was dressed in a gorgeous robe. The wind blew his clothes backwards as he walked on the arms. Walking on the arms like a single-plank bridge, Xuan Hong felt something unreasonable in his heart.
Excited.
'The place I stand on is at the cusp of the storm, just like where I am. The pipeline looks beautiful from the outside, but after all, it is cold at high places. Who knows the heart of the person standing here. But after stepping on it,
You can't help but fall in love with this place, fall in love with this exciting feeling, fall in love with the feeling of being looked up to in secret.'
Xuan Hong walked to the front of the probing arm in a leisurely manner and said loudly: "This ceremony of selecting medicines will now officially begin."
As his voice fell, countless fireworks were suddenly launched around the Fengchan platform. Countless fireballs flew straight into the sky with rumbling sounds, and then exploded in a gorgeous way. Even in the daytime, you can see gorgeous fireworks flying everywhere.
, there was thunderous cheers below.
Xuan Hong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved slightly towards the void. Immediately afterwards, countless women in palace clothes flew up and walked out of the door where Yaozi walked out before.
The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded at the same time, and the ten women who flew out were on the marble platform, dancing around those who participated in the competition.
"This is the opening ceremony of the drug selection competition. After the dance performance, it will be announced at ten o'clock at noon that the competition of the drug selection competition will begin."
The middle-aged man called Keta said softly while looking at the ten women dancing on the stone platform.
The old man in the leather robe nodded slightly and said: "If Chen Feng cannot come before noon, then he will also lose the qualification for the competition."
The middle-aged man nodded slowly and said nothing more. Time passed during the dance performance, the sun also moved towards the sky, and the time came to ten minutes at noon.
The ten women left the stage as the sound of silk and bamboo gradually disappeared, leaving behind the more than twenty medicine candidates who participated in the competition.
Qu Li slowly walked to the side of the platform and said loudly: "According to the instructions of the king, the one who is absent from the final competition will be replaced by one person selected from those who participated in the competition today. That replacement..."
Qu Li said, slowly pointing his finger downward, and a young man who was standing next to Hua Qi smiled faintly and stood out.
