Chapter 8 Presentation to the Imperial Ancestral Temple
When the three-hundred-mile Linzi city appeared in sight, the entire returning team was in awe.
Zhan Yu's army, who was on duty in the capital, came five miles out of the city to meet him.
This is a very high courtesy.
The nine soldiers of Da Qi are the best in the world.
And the powerful soldiers lined up here, with swords and spears as high as a forest.
“This is a triumphal ceremony.” Chongxuan Zun said.
Jiang Wang nodded to express his understanding.
At this time, they were riding tall horses, riding side by side, with a group of Tianfu soldiers leading the way and a group of soldiers guarding behind.
The accompanying viewing team had already dispersed before approaching Linzi, and each went back to his or her own home, and could not accompany the outgoing team at this time.
The official road is sprinkled with scattered petals, and the fiery red "flame" steps on it, like flowers burning.
The white "snowy night" is like clouds floating above the flowers.
Senior Zhanyu stood on both sides of the official road, each holding a sword and a gun, with a serious face.
Jiang Wang and Chong Xuanzun are walking on this road of swords, guns and flowers.
This is the path of glory for warriors, and this is the respect from the robe.
Fluttering the flag on the river viewing platform is a hearty victory. It has swept away the depression for many years!
For this honor, many people have fought to the death. For this title, many people have died in peace.
The personal disciple of the mighty Qi Army God also died in battle because he could not accept the loss of Kui Ming.
How many people are working hard for this?
Qi State must have a status that matches its national power, and it must have a glory that matches its status, and let the whole world see and know that Qi State is the undoubted overlord and one of the greatest and most powerful empires in the world.
!
Ziwei Zhongtian Taihuang Flag, flying on the ancient river viewing platform, stands side by side with those great empires in history...
It’s here.
Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return after ten years, just for this moment.
The expedition team walked through this long and solemn five-mile road, silently all the way, and finally arrived at the majestic and great Linzi City.
When you leave and when you return, you always stay at the door with the word "Li".
There is "propriety" in origin, and "property" is in return.
Yanzhao and Xueye stepped through the huge city gate and seemed to have suddenly entered a noisy world!
The people of Linzi, who had been waiting for a long time and crowded together on both sides of the street, cheered and cheered.
People were red-faced and cheerful.
The soldiers maintaining order seemed to be unstable and shaky amid the surging crowds.
Jiang Wang, who was riding on a tall horse, wearing a green shirt and carrying a sword, looked around and saw that everything he could see was a dense crowd of people.
Countless people stood on tiptoes to look at him.
Every face is cheering for him and crazy for him.
Along the way, he has been warmly welcomed by the people of Qi. But now, this great country has completely opened its arms to him!
“Jiang Wang!”
“Jiang Wang!”
“Jiang Wang!”
The cry moved the heavens.
It was he who brought back the title of Kuai to Qi.
It was he who defeated the powerful enemies one after another and planted the flag of Qi on the river viewing platform.
One voice triggers thousands of voices, and thousands of voices merge into one voice.
The sound stops the flying birds and stops the flowing clouds, just like the ocean tide!
The whole Linzi is shouting his name.
Wherever Jiang Wang looked, there were overwhelming cheers.
At this moment, even the unparalleled Zhong Xuan Zun felt dejected next to him!
There are two leaders in the Yellow River meeting, and Jiang Wang wins one!
At this time, he did not even dare to activate the sravaka state. In this case, the sravaka state was simply unable to process so much information. Everyone was shouting and everyone was expressing.
People are almost fanatical!
The expedition team walked forward along the main road, amidst the cheers of the people on both sides.
People shouted the names of heroes and the Daqi Empire, many of them shouted at the top of their lungs.
There was a gray-haired old man, who was held high by two young people, probably his children and grandchildren.
And the old man was holding his head high in the air, raising his fist in the right hand, shouting at him desperately, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be splitting.
He was wearing a washed-white military uniform, and his voice was mixed with the crowd's voices, making it difficult to hear clearly. But his flushed expression with tears in his eyes was so profound.
Where his left arm is, there is an empty sleeve. This sleeve is like a flag, fluttering in the wind!
Jiang Wang didn't know his story, nor did he know what this old pawn who should have retired had experienced. Did he ever charge on the Qi-Xia battlefield? Did he ever ride a horse on the Great Qi's journey to dominate the Eastern Region?
?
Jiang Wang knew nothing about this.
What he saw was only at this moment, such an old soldier who had survived the years.
But he was struck by the sight.
Fell into a deep shock.
What is a country?
Home of thousands of families!
He went to the Yellow River Meeting in order to obtain a more stable and secure life in Qi State, and to better protect his sister. He went to the Yellow River Meeting to become famous in the world, to see where he had gone, and to...
To test one's edge. It is also to compete with Zhongxuanzun and help Zhongxuansheng share the pressure...
There are too many reasons, most of which are based on oneself.
It wasn't until Cao Jie talked about the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons that he thought about whether he should do more for the honor of Qi.
He has always lacked a sense of belonging.
If it weren’t for close friends like Chong Xuan Sheng, Qi would be no different from other countries. Even if he had titles, positions and fiefs here.
He can go wherever it is more suitable for development.
His youthful ideals have long been buried with Maplewood City.
The hometown where he was born and raised was abandoned without hesitation. His meaning to "country" is actually vague.
But at this moment, looking at this one-armed old soldier who was so excited that he could not contain himself, he seemed to feel for the first time in his heart that there was indeed some kind of connection between him and this country.
“Tai…miao…offer…gift!”
The voice of the ritual officer was raised high and spread widely under the influence of Taoism.
The expedition team continued to move forward in a solemn atmosphere.
Go forward in the great city of Linzi.
The whole city is excited about this!
They left Linzi with their heads held high that day, and now they are returning in triumph!
If someone looks down from a high altitude, he can see that from the "Li" gate in the west of the city to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the sea of people is rolling in in waves.
The team heading out to Guanhe Platform meandered in the sea of people.
There will be times when there are strong winds and waves.
Jiang Wang suddenly remembered that when he came to Zi for the first time, he was also shocked by this majestic city. He was also impressed by the huge crowds of people, which enhanced the vastness of the crowd at that time.
At that time, he traveled thousands of miles and realized that the sword of the vast sea of people, the sword of mountains and rivers, and the sword of the sun, moon and stars, of course have many shortcomings from today's perspective. The three swords of heaven, earth, and people are in vain.
Internally dry.
So he later shelved the three swords that were too "big" and based on the Sword of the Vast Sea of People, he turned to developing the Humane Sword Style.
Get away from the vast sea of people and explore every drop of it.
Combining the experiences, thoughts, and insights along the way, we finally evolved into the Sword of the Aged Old Man, the Sword of the Famous Scholar, the Sword of the Involuntary Man, the Sword of the Young and the frivolous, and the Sword of Lovesickness.
Finally, on the river viewing platform, in the state of the Sword Immortal, all human sword styles were integrated to create the "human" sword.
From the beginning to the present, it forms a wonderful cycle.
Seeing this "sea of people" again at this time, I feel as if it's this night or another night. This feeling is even more imprinted on my heart, and this sword is fuller.
The word "人" refers to all kinds of living beings.
This sword should be explored in a lifetime, and it may not be exhausted in one lifetime.
The team stopped in front of the Ancestral Temple, and Jiang Wang and Chong Xuanzun also dismounted.
Since no one dared to set foot on the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the soldiers of the Tianfu Army escorting them all the way could only stop here.
And Cao Du took Jiang Wang and Chong Xuanzun and continued to move forward.
In the solemn Ancestral Temple Square, three people walked slowly.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and their figures stretched very long in the square.
Emperor Da Qi is still sitting behind the tall Emperor Dan.
All the princes and princesses are also present here.
On the high platforms on both sides, there are still civil and military officials, randomly selected people, and centenarians with good fortune and longevity.
Everything is the same as on the day of the "Master's Gift".
