Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Sixth Birth Year Less than One Hundred
During the intermission, the Royal Physician of the Dynasty rushed over to treat several contestants. Although they could not heal all the hidden injuries, they still ensured that they could perform at 80 to 90% of their strength.
Lorraine Hill was sitting on the pavilion. Today she was wearing a dark blue and black Western-style dress, and next to her sat an Eidolon in moon-white attire.
The off-white twin ponytails were draped behind her back, embellishing her slightly slender figure. Ye Ling looked curiously at the scene in the mirror lake, and the two small horns on her forehead seemed to glow with a faint silver light.
"Who do you think Sister Luolan will win today?"
"Well, it's probably Sudenglou or Huaichang." Lorraine Hill said this after thinking and comparing for a while.
In fact, among the eight finalists, Sudenlou, Gu Lie, and Huai Chang are all in the same level. Maybe Sudenlou will be slightly stronger, but the gap is not particularly big. But as long as one of the three meets that Yi Miao
Xin, will definitely lose, because the power of this witch seems to have a special effect on men.
Unfortunately, Yi Miaoxin was not very lucky when she drew lots. She met Zhu Yan, a rather special woman who could charm other female contestants, such as the princess Xiao Yubing.
But Jie Zhuyan has practiced the special secret technique of the Red Immortal Cult, the Bingche Mind-Calming Gu.
Skill: [Ice Clear Mind Gu Lv.7] (Perfect): It can suppress various emotional changes and keep the host in a highly calm and clear thinking state like a machine.
It is also because of this Gu technique that she can greatly increase her resistance to the phantom of chaos when she advances, allowing her to advance easily. In fact, the talent of these eight people in Zhonglun Jie Zhuyan is indeed far inferior to that of the others.
If you rank the strength of the eight people, this is probably what Lorraine Hill thinks.
Yi Miaoxin
Sudenlou,Gu Lie,Huaichang
Xiao Yubing, Zhuo Fengbo, Ling Shanjun
Jie Zhuyan
But Jie Zhuyan Wanke Yi Miaoxin is just like the beast chess game, it is very strange and interesting.
At dusk, the afterglow in the sky dyed the flowing clouds into a beautiful purple color, and the event finally slowly came to an end.
This time the champion is Sudeng Tower, perhaps it reflects its name. Climb the tower and climb to the top of the Sword Fighting Red Tower.
Watching this extremely dashing swordsman take off the only glazed fishtail sword tassel on the roof, extremely warm applause erupted from the auditoriums on both sides of the lake, and countless people shouted the only name.
"Qinglian Sword Cleansing Palace!"
"Suddenly ascending the stairs in white!"
"Number one in the world!"
The overwhelming sound was like a tide rolling over the audience seats on both sides. Countless people's eyes were full of eager eyes, staring closely at the figure in white.
This dashing and handsome swordsman in white took off the glazed fishtail sword tassel and tied it to the end of the hilt of his sword, triggering another wave of cheers.
"I have decided." Ye Ling looked at the lively scene in the distance like mountains roaring and tsunami, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
"What has been decided?" Lorraine Hill looked at the little guy next to him with curiosity.
"I also want to be number one in the world (
"But that would be more difficult. You have to practice every day and get up early every day to exercise..." Lorraine Hill put his finger on his chin and turned his head to think.
"Ugh... Is there any technique that can make you stronger while sleeping?" Ye Ling pressed his hands on the chair in front of him, opened his pure dragon eyes, and looked at the almost omnipotent sister Luo Lan next to him.
"Well, probably not. After all, fighting is a kind of skill. It requires constant practice and actual combat in order to keep up with the times."
"Just like in the primitive era, everyone used stone weapons. Later, they were replaced by bronze weapons, iron weapons, armors, horses, and later muskets, artillery and the like. The times are constantly advancing."
"No matter how powerful a person is, if he doesn't pay attention to changes in the surrounding environment, he will slowly fall behind."
"So you can't become stronger while sleeping..." Ye Ling pouted.
"As you say, the bloodline ability has not yet been fully awakened. In fact, sleeping is also a good way to grow." Luolan comforted this little guy who was a little lazy but ambitious.
"Really?" Hearing this, Ye Ling became happy again.
"Really, haha." Lorraine Hill touched the hair on Eidolon's head.
The two of them had fun and talked in the viewing room for a while, and then they got up and left when the night got dark.
The streets were full of tourists, and the spectators leaving the sword fighting venue were like countless ants, scattering into the already bustling city, adding even more congestion and excitement.
Long red lanterns were also hung on the pavilions on both sides, with the name of the store written on them, to attract customers. From time to time, bursts of fireworks were heard from the night sky above, including bright yellow, fluorescent green, bright red, and dark blue fireworks.
Meteors cut through the cold atmosphere, bringing with them the smell of smoke and gunpowder of celebration.
Some children wore beautiful new clothes and held rotating colorful windmills in their hands, running and cheering on the street. Occasionally, adults shouted to stop from behind.
"Come, come, come and taste the specialty of the Evernight River, grilled fish with herbs~"
"Five princes and seven generals, birds and beasts, all kinds of candy figures, everything you want~"
“Sweet sesame balls, soft and delicious~”
"Sand sugar ice snow cold Yuanzi~"
Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling walked on the street and looked at the surrounding night markets selling various snacks. Among the people coming and going to taste them were not only Easterners, but also many foreign races from other continents.
Among them were forest elves holding long strings of sweet meatballs, lion-maned orcs who were cautious and curious about trying grilled fish, and white-winged tribesmen who happily gnawed on barbecued meats. Many of them wore Western clothes, not all of them Eastern.
It looks like a different kind of exotic style.
Compared to the Western Continent, which is in conflict with each other and often wars, the Eastern Continent is much more peaceful. Moreover, due to the numerous navigation routes and numerous contacts with other continents, the capital city of Luojing is even more crowded with visitors from all directions.
"Jialan~" A joyful voice came from the side.
Lorraine Hill looked back at dusk and saw two familiar elves, it was the forest elf princess Atesi, and Irene with icy blue hair beside her.
"Jialan is also in Luojing, it's great~" This forest elf girl was wearing an oriental corset and a gorgeous dress today, and she was holding a small lantern in her hand. She looked very special.
"Did Jia Lan mean sister Luo Lan?" Ye Ling looked curiously at Luo Lan Hill beside him.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then greeted the two elves.
"I didn't expect to meet Xiao Jialan at the night market." Aitexi was slightly happy as she spun around Lorraine Hill.
"Hey, I feel like little Jialan hasn't grown up yet." The elf girl commented on Lorraine Hill's figure with a bit of surprise and mischief.
"I won't grow up." Lorraine Hill shook his head cutely, saying that he didn't care about his figure.
"By the way, my name is actually Luo Lan. The Jia Lan I mentioned before is a pseudonym." Luo Lan Hill explained a little.
"Well, doesn't that mean that little Luo Lan is really a royal family? This is incredible." After several years of seeing each other, Etesi is still so lively, even though the elf's adolescence is indeed very long.
After a few people chatted for a while in the street, they wanted to find a quiet place to sit down for a while.
"Many places are full now, and the streets and alleys are full of people." Irene shook her head slightly and talked about what she saw along the way.
"Well, I have to ask our little local snake about this." Lorraine Hill placed Ye Ling in front of him, and then introduced the little dragon lady to the two of them.
"A child from the Ye family? He's really cute." Aitexi bent down and curiously looked at this little loli who also didn't grow up.
"Hmm." Ye puffed up her cheeks. She wanted others to judge her as handsome.
After thinking for a while, Ye Ling seemed to have remembered something and said, "Follow me~" Then the little dragon lady pulled a few people towards the side of the street.
"Where are we going?" Etesi and Irene held hands and looked curiously at the more prosperous pavilions and pavilions around them, from which the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from time to time.
"It seems like many of them are music studios or places to watch dramas and dances." Irene analyzed a little more seriously.
"That's not all, come with me." Ye Ling shook her twin ponytails in the night, and suddenly led a few people into a dark alley.
With the light of fireworks blooming from time to time above their heads, several girls stepped on the cold and broken bluestone path, turned around and over, and finally came to a river in the city.
The balcony on the other side of the river is full of lights, with orange and crimson lanterns reflecting in the water. The reflection and the balcony complement each other, making the night scene even more prosperous and beautiful.
"Where is this?" Luo Lan took a moment to look at the willow trees next to him. Many of the hanging branches fell into the water, facing the river, and a slight cool breeze came, making people feel very comfortable.
"This is the Nightless River, also called the Yudai River. It is a long river that passes through Luojing." Ye Ling turned around and explained.
"There are many painted boats on the river at night. You can also rent smaller boats and take a night cruise across Luojing to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river."
"Our Ye family also has a lot of properties on the Nightless River. I asked them to bring me a small boat so that we can take a boat trip at night."
After saying that, the eldest lady of the Ye family came to the river, gently put her hand into the cold water, and stirred it slightly. A burst of broken light followed the ripples and spread to the other bank and into the distance.
"This river can also be regarded as a tributary of Luo Jing's dragon vein. I am a dragon witch, so I can easily use the dragon veins in it to convey information."
Ye Ling shook the river water on his fingers and walked over in small steps. A pair of dragon eyes looked like jade in the night, very beautiful.
Not long after, sure enough, a painting boat came slowly from upstream. After the boatman saw the lady on the shore, he asked the boat to dock slowly, and then came down to ask.
"Do you have any plans, Miss Fifth?" A woman wearing a red-sleeved dress walked off the boat and came to a few people, looking at them with some interest.
"Yeah, yeah, yes, yes." Ye Ling nodded happily, seeming a little proud.
"My friends and I want to take a boat ride on the Evernight River. Prepare a small boat for us, with all kinds of delicious and fun things on it."
"That's it, I understand." The woman seemed to be familiar with Ye Ling's way of speaking. She nodded quickly and then went back to greet everyone and get ready.
After a while, a small boat was lowered from the boat. It seemed to be an enlarged awning boat, but more refined. The hull was made of fine wood, in a rosewood color, with curved round awnings on both sides.
Palace lanterns were hung to illuminate the side of the ship and the river. At the bow of the ship, there were small tables and stools, and some food boxes were piled beside it, many of which were freshly prepared delicacies.
"Let's go up." Ye Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then led a few people onto the small boat.
My feet stepped on the wooden deck of the boat, making a slight sound, and then the boat below shook slightly, shattering the shadows of lights and stars on the river.
Several people bent down and entered the canopy of the small boat. After walking for a while, they came to the bow and sat at the small table.
"The river here is relatively slow, so you don't need to row a boat deliberately, just go down the river." Ye Ling introduced briefly, and curiously opened the food box placed in the boat.
"Ah, this seems delicious." Etesi looked at the slices of roast duck placed in the food box. There was a faint heat and fragrance in the food, and there were prepared dipping sauces on the side.
"Let me see what else is there?" Ye Ling continued to open the next layer of the food box.
Two large red-shell crabs were surrounded by green herbs and condiments, and were presented on a porcelain plate. They also exuded a sweet aroma of wine, and seemed to have been steamed and marinated for a long time, just waiting for people to enjoy them.
"Come again~"
Ye Ling then opened the next layer of the food box, revealing a food plate divided into six compartments, in which were placed fried peppers and crispy peanuts, crispy bones and meat, cold beans, pickled dried vegetables, etc.
"There are a lot of them." Eileen looked at the freshly prepared dishes. Many of them seemed to be freshly baked.
"There are also several food boxes filled with snacks in the cabin." Lorraine Hill finally walked out of the black canopy, also holding a food box in his hand, but the shape was different.
After opening, there are layers of prepared snacks and pastries inside. In addition to the famous goldfish cakes of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, there are also different styles of mochi dumplings, pickle pancakes, four-color green dumplings, etc.
"It seems that the steward on the boat is very familiar with Eidolon's hobbies." Lorraine Hill smiled and winked, then took out a few snacks from the food box and placed them on the table.
In this way, a few people gathered around the small table on the bow of the boat and slowly moved along the river, looking at the endless pavilions on both sides of the river, the river reflecting the orange-red lights in layers, and the fireworks that bloomed from time to time in the sky.
, admiring the lively and prosperous night view of Luo Jingzhong.
Occasionally, we would cross the beautiful arch bridge made of bluestone. Next to the fence on the bridge with carved patterns, there would also be young men and women standing admiring the night scenery, telling each other their hearts and affections.
The people on the bridge looked at the pavilions on both sides of the river and the painted boats on the river, which were all beautiful scenery, while the people in the river boats looked at the beautiful and talented people in rich clothes, leaning on the railings to watch the night, and it was also a dream of a good time, which made people intoxicated.
Sitting on the bow of the boat, several girls talked about what they had seen and experienced on the mainland over the years, telling about the special beauty of the East that was different from the West, and admiring the prosperity and prosperity of this thousand-year dynasty.
The white jade in the sky and the never-night river on the ground are the most prosperous and moving place in Luojing.
If you are less than a hundred years old, you often worry about being a thousand years old.
The days are short and the nights are long, why not go out by candlelight?
It’s time to enjoy yourself, why wait for it to come?
A fool cherishes his money, but only for the sake of future generations.
