March 3rd, the 342nd year of the Qianlong Calendar, is a day suitable for weddings and burials, prayers for blessings and gifts, tailoring of clothing and accounts, and avoidance of fights.
This day was Duan Yuming's enthronement ceremony, and practitioners from all walks of life gathered here to witness this moment that could be recorded in the history of the country.
It is still early in the morning, and the Dragon City and the Imperial City have been decorated with a new look, turning into a sea of red. Red flowers, red silk, red signboards, red clothes, red pants and red shoes... Everything that can be thought of is wrapped in red. This
It's not because everyone likes red, but it's the unique preference of Duan Chunxi, the current emperor of the Qianlong Empire.
Duan Chunxi felt that red symbolized happiness. Although there was no basis for this statement, he still stubbornly asked all those who came to attend the ceremony to wear red clothes as much as possible. So you can see that most men on the street are dressed like
The groom is the official, and the woman is like the bride waiting to be married.
Yang Xiu woke up early, woke Qianyu up before dawn, and then started trying on clothes. Qianyu didn’t have many requirements for what he wore, and his dressing style was mainly decent, and the colors were basically black and white.
Alternate between gray.
As a child of a wealthy family, Yang Xiu has a variety of dressing styles and an uncountable number of clothes. Within half an hour, Yang Xiu tried on more than 20 pieces of clothing. The styles of these clothes were all unconventional, either elegant or luxurious.
Either the designs were designed elsewhere, some clothes were designed like skirts, and some were even strapless and backless. At first glance, they were clothes worn by women, but the styles were male, which was an eye-opener for Qianyu.
After trying on so many clothes, Yang Xiu was always dissatisfied. He could find faults in every piece of clothing and then deny it. Seeing that Yang Xiu was still wasting time on dressing, Qianyu hurriedly picked out the clothes for him.
Yang Xiu was asked to put on a pure white dress, and then flattered him with praise. Yang Xiu finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Brother Qian, you should also wear white clothes to look more energetic." Seeing Qianyu's gray clothes, Yang Xiu picked up a set of white clothes and handed them to Qianyu. Qianyu did not refuse and quickly changed into clothes.
When he opened the door and saw a red crowd on the street, Qianyu was a little dumbfounded and said: "Brother Yang, they are..."
Yang Xiu said nonchalantly: "The emperor requires everyone attending the ceremony to dress more festively, preferably in red."
"We won't be the only two wearing white clothes, right?" Qianyu has a low-key personality and doesn't want to stand out too much.
Yang Xiu replied decisively: "How could it be? Someone must be wearing clothes of other colors. Brother Qian, don't worry about it. By the way, how are you preparing Brother Qian's gift?"
"Everything is ready." Qianyu had wrapped the coffin as early as the night before. In order not to arouse suspicion, he covered the coffin with a red cloth and pretended to be an exquisite gift.
Qianyu led out a green-horned fairy deer, and it was dragging a chariot behind it. On the chariot was a coffin covered with red cloth. The green-horned fairy deer has a docile character and rarely attacks humans. It is suitable for domestication, so it became
It is the first choice for many cultivators to transport goods.
"Brother Yang, we must separate when entering the city." Qianyu said.
Yang Xiu looked at Qianyu in confusion, wondering why Qianyu would do this.
Qianyu leaned into his ear and whispered his plan. Yang Xiu looked at Qianyu in surprise and said, "Brother Qian is doing this... It's a bit reckless."
"Even if I'm not reckless, it would be very difficult to send this gift in without telling the soldiers guarding the gate. Sooner or later, we'll have a conflict with them anyway, so it's better to just fight my way out." Qianyu said calmly.
After pondering for a while, Yang Xiu patted Qianyu on the shoulder and said: "Brother Qian, I wish you success."
After leaving Yang's house, Qianyu discovered that most of the people were dressed in red, but he and Yang Xiu were dressed in white. They seemed to stand out from the crowd when walking on the street. It was difficult for others not to notice them.
Being watched by many people intentionally or unintentionally, Qianyu felt a little uncomfortable, but Yang Xiu smiled and didn't care at all, and comforted Qianyu: "Brother Qian, don't care too much, don't care about what others think, as long as you know yourself
Just do whatever you’re doing.”
"Actually, I quite enjoy the feeling of being watched by people around me, as if I am a big shot." Yang Xiu said as he walked, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the imperial city.
The gate was painted red, and the soldiers standing guard on both sides of the gate had red flowers woven from cloth tied to their armors. They were attentively checking the gifts brought by the monks who entered.
There were indeed a lot of people coming. They were divided into three vertical rows extending a hundred meters away from the city gate. Qianyu took a cursory look and found that there were nearly a thousand people in the queue alone. Thinking that a large number of people were coming.
On the way, he couldn't help but sigh: "For cultivators, the prince's enthronement should not be so attractive, right? How come so many people come?"
"I forgot to tell you that all cultivators who participate in the enthronement ceremony will be rewarded with a Jingxin Pill and two Yuan Stones. Ordinary people will be rewarded with gold coins and elixirs." Yang Xiu explained patiently, "Most cultivators are
Love takes advantage, this is a temptation they can't refuse."
Qianyu looked around, and sure enough, most of the cultivators' cultivation levels did not exceed the Solid Yuan realm. These cultivators came here for the elixir. He looked up at the long team and saw that there were more than sixty people in front of them.
People, it is estimated that it will take half an hour for their turn.
"Brother Yang, see you later." Qianyu did not line up, but walked directly to the front of the line. The soldier guarding the gate noticed him immediately and asked vigilantly: "You bastard, hurry up and line up, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to do it."
You're welcome. Also, what's on your chariot?"
"This is a gift specially made for the second prince." Qianyu said with a smile.
"A gift?" The soldier became suspicious and said sternly: "Lift the red cloth, I want to check it!"
"What if my answer is no?" Qianyu was ready to cause trouble.
"You want to cause trouble? Humph." The soldier smiled and blew a whistle, and immediately a team of ten people came over.
Qianyu also laughed.
His plan is to rush in recklessly, preferably in an unstoppable manner, making Duan Yuming feel threatened or even afraid. This is his plan: duel with Duan Yuming, and he will never lose in terms of momentum! Find a way to make the ceremony a success.
It's best to end up in a mess!
Now, the time has come!
"This boy is trying to cause trouble, capture him!" The soldier looked like he wanted to cut Qianyu into pieces.
Qianyu smiled with satisfaction, and the energy in his body quietly circulated, ready to fight at any time.
"superior!"
More than a dozen cultivators in the Solid Yuan realm swarmed around him with weapons in hand. In Qianyu's eyes, they were just moving targets.
"Bang bang bang..."
The soldiers surrounding Qianyu fell to the ground like defeated soldiers. They were beaten until they vomited blood and flew away. Some soldiers died on the spot.
"Request support!"
The surviving soldiers blew their whistles frantically, but Qianyu ignored them and pulled the chariot deeper into the city.
"Who dares to come to the imperial city to cause trouble?!"
Five middle-aged cultivators came with five teams after hearing the news. At a glance, there were at least a hundred people. The cultivation of these five people was in the early to middle Yuan Yin realm and they did not pose a threat to Qianyu.
"The speed of support is not bad." Qianyu praised with a smile, and immediately moved his body. The dark night movement turned Qianyu's body into an afterimage, and he appeared behind one of the middle-aged cultivators like a ghost.
, and then suddenly slapped his palm: "Inverted Sea Seal!"
"ah!"
The cultivator screamed, and a bloody hole appeared in his body. Qianyu's palm print passed through his body, and blood splashed out like spring water.
The four middle-aged cultivators suddenly panicked, and in the blink of an eye, two more people died in Qianyu's hands. Qianyu's movement skills were erratic, and his strikes were ruthless, killing with one strike, scaring the other two cultivators into thinking.
Feeling timid.
"Let Duan Yuming come out to see me, and I can let you live." Qian Yu said coldly.
"How can you see the second prince whenever you want? My son, Huangkou, you have caused a huge disaster, and I will cut you into pieces!" One of the two cultivators angrily killed Qianyu.
Coming over, Qianyu sneered, holding his right hand, and the Red Meteor Stick was in his hand. He stepped hard on the ground with his feet, jumped into the air, and the silver energy formed a thunder, wrapped around the long stick, and then struck it down with a stick!
"Peng!"
The cultivator couldn't resist. As his body flew backwards, blood spurted out wildly. He fell to the ground with a pale face, struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
"You guys surround him first, I'll look for help!" The only remaining person among the five was frightened by the killing move shown by Qianyu, and quickly went to ask for support. A team of more than a hundred people rushed towards Qianyu.
People's cultivation levels are all under the Yuanyin realm, and they launch a fierce attack on Qianyu with the idea that more people are more powerful, but they don't know that such an approach will only increase the number of corpses.
"boom!"
The first soldier who was the first to come into contact with Qianyu had his head smashed, and then the second soldier was beaten away and died of vomiting blood. Then the third, fourth... and countless more.
The originally clean and tidy entrance was suddenly filled with corpses, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. The red flowers on the soldiers' armors were mixed with blood, adding a bit of sadness to this festive day.
After seeing their companions die tragically one after another, the remaining soldiers finally felt scared. Everyone retreated and shivered as they looked at the young man in white clothes stained with blood. His expression was colder than ice.
, the murderous look in his eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
Qianyu killed so many people and caused quite a stir. There are five lines of defense in the imperial city, and these are just the first two. The guardians of the third line of defense arrived in time to bring guidance to the retreating soldiers.
Comes confidence.
There are only two guardians of the third line of defense, Chu Tianhe and Liang Yusheng. They are both in their fifties, and their cultivation levels are in the late Yuanyin realm and the peak Yuanyin realm respectively.
"You dare to cause trouble in the imperial city at such a young age. How brave you are." Chu Tianhe's eyes were burning and he shouted sternly.
"No need to talk nonsense, just kill." Liang Yusheng said coldly. His cultivation level was higher than Qianyu's, so he was naturally not afraid of Qianyu. "Hurry up and take action before the matter reaches the ears of those above.
Get rid of him."
Having said that, Chu Tianhe and Liang Yusheng scattered a large amount of yellow sand at the same time, condensing into dozens of sand puppets. These sand puppets took on human shapes, with no expression on their faces. They all held weapons and moved flexibly.
Qianyu had heard Zhao Yangtian talk about this magic of turning sand into soldiers, but he had never really seen it. He was a little surprised when he saw it for the first time. After the surprise, there was a confrontation.
"Bah bang bang!"
These sand puppets were no match for Qianyu. They collapsed in one blow and turned into a ball of loose sand. But Qianyu soon realized the trouble. The sand puppets had no life. After being scattered, they would return to their original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
, and these sand puppets are not afraid of death and have been pestering Qianyu, making it impossible for him to escape.
If it continues like this, Qianyu will definitely lose. During the battle, he focused part of his attention on Chu Tianhe and Liang Yusheng. These sand puppets were controlled by the two of them. As long as they were killed, the sand puppets would
Automatically collapse.
"Whoosh!"
Qianyu came up with a plan, temporarily left the battle, and went straight towards Chu Tianhe. Chu Tianhe sneered. He had extremely rich combat experience and could see Qianyu's plan at a glance. Naturally, he would not let Qianyu succeed.
.In the midst of the lightning and flint, strange moves were formed in his hands, and the sand puppets flew up like spirits, forming a thick and long sand rope in mid-air, trying to tie Qianyu up.
Qianyu could have used his body skills to dodge, but instead of hiding, he was deliberately tied up. At the same time, Chu Tianhe also mobilized the sand puppets to form a sand net, covering Qianyu's body and binding him tightly.
he.
"If you dare to challenge me to a fight, what's the point of bullying the minority?" Qianyu cursed deliberately.
Chu Tianhe and Liang Yusheng laughed sarcastically, and Chu Tianhe said: "You ignorant boy, who gave you the courage to break into the imperial city? Do you really think you can really make waves with your meager cultivation?
"
Liang Yusheng said: "Go to hell." After saying that, he was about to take action, but Chu Tianhe stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, this kid has killed many of our soldiers. If we let him die like this, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?"
?”
"you mean……"
Chu Tianhe smiled coldly and said: "Leave this boy to me, and I guarantee that he will not be able to survive or die..."
"choke!"
The moment Chu Tianhe and the two relaxed their vigilance, Qianyu tore through the sand net like a tiger emerging from its cage, and the red meteor stick, like a sharp blade cutting through the sky, inserted into Chu Tianhe's throat with lightning speed.
As a result, Chu Tianhe's eyes widened in the middle of his words, and he vomited blood and swallowed his breath.
Liang Yusheng on the side suddenly changed his expression, and immediately slapped a palm, and the green energy surged towards him. This palm used 90% of his power. If it hit Qianyu, Qianyu might be killed on the spot.
Who would have thought that Qianyu didn't dodge, and quickly pulled out the Red Meteor Stick from Chu Tianhe's neck, with blood splashing, and hit Liang Yusheng's head with all his strength!
This move is a life-fighting style, either you die or I die!
In the battle of life, Liang Yusheng did not hesitate. His cultivation level was higher and his attack speed was higher. His palm print could kill Qianyu before Qianyu's long stick even touched him.
Qianyu also realized this. He thought that Liang Yusheng would be afraid of death as he got older and would hesitate during the battle, which would give him a chance to succeed. Unexpectedly, this old guy was very experienced in fighting. In this way, he only
Can you avoid this fatal move first, and then make plans. (To be continued)
