Chapter 118 Thousands of lights, ten thousand lights
Understanding Yang Liu's emotions did not prevent Jiang Wang from taking the opportunity to get closer to him. While he was drunk, he negotiated matters related to introducing Hai Jingping.
The next day, Jiang Wang, accompanied by Yang Liu, entered Hai Jingping's mansion and left after an hour.
After that, I visited Hai Jingping twice separately, and both times I purchased new storage boxes in advance.
Of course, his actions were concealed in the increasingly heated hustle and bustle of Waishima Island, and were not noticed by too many people.
Because the annual sea festival of offshore islands has begun.
The famous Tianya Terrace is located in the middle of the curved back of Crescent Moon Island, which is also the most protruding point of Crescent Moon Island and closest to the direction of the Mysterious Realm.
This is naturally the main venue for this sea festival, and it is also the highest point on Crescent Moon Island.
Crescent Moon Island, Crescent Moon Island, Wai Island... no matter how you call it, it is the undoubted core island of the offshore archipelago. Its status is almost the capital of a country.
Then Tianya Terrace is equivalent to where the Ancestral Temple is located.
The entire Tianya Platform is a huge stone platform with a radius of thousands of feet.
The side that remains on the island is a gentle slope, and the other side facing the sea is a cliff.
The overall shape is like a turbulent wave rushing here, and then suddenly solidifying. Like a huge frozen wave.
The sea once rushed towards Tianya Terrace, and the crowd gathered by the human monks also rushed towards the sea. The sea of people hit the sea and never flinched.
Some people also say that Tianya Terrace is like a hand held high in reverse, and the arm is the cliff facing the sea vertically on Wai Island. It holds up the extraordinary monks on the offshore islands and gives them strength and courage.
But no matter which way you say it, Tianya Terrace is an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of Hainan people, a place that represents honor and greatness.
Even if the murderous power of monk Yang Gu is terrifying, and even if the power of Qi is astonishing, the main location of the sea festival can only be placed at Tianya Terrace.
It is even said that only the sea festival held at Tianya Terrace is recognized as a real sea festival. It is considered that it can really comfort the heroes who died in the war.
Although there are various activities taking place during the day, the real sea festival ceremony officially begins at night.
Jiang Wang found a spot with Yang Liu. After talking over drinks, they now have a good relationship and can be regarded as ordinary friends. As a true disciple of Diaohai Tower, it is easy to arrange a place for Jiang Wang on the Tianya Platform.
Of course, it can't be a very good location.
Because today, all the famous forces in the entire offshore archipelago have almost sent people to Tianya Terrace to participate in the ceremony. Of course, it is not mandatory. After all, if there are really important things, we cannot delay the sea festival ceremony. But for many people
For me, being able to climb Tianya Terrace on the fourth day of April is an honor in itself, so most people won't miss it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Tianya Terrace is overcrowded at this time.
The result of Jiang Wang deliberately keeping a low profile was that he could only blend in with the crowd and look at each other with a bunch of strangers from the small sect elders.
"This little brother looks unfamiliar. I wonder where he lives on this island?"
"Oh, I travel all over the world and never stop anywhere."
Jiang Wang casually ignored the greetings from others and silently observed the situation on the Tianya stage.
At this time, the four Diaohailou elders who were responsible for the actual affairs of this sea festival ceremony had all appeared at Tianya Terrace. Headed by Hai Jingping, he led a group of elite disciples to entertain guests from all over the world, and Yang Liu was naturally among them.
However, the nominal host of the Sea Festival Hall, the first elder of Diaohai Tower, Chongguang Zhenren, has not yet appeared.
I think such a big shot will only show up after everything is settled.
On the other hand, Jiang Wang also saw some friends and acquaintances.
For example, Li Fengyao, who represents Ice Phoenix Island, is sitting in the VIP position. Her beautiful face has attracted countless eyes, but her lonely temperament makes people dare not look too much.
Of course Li Longchuan was also there, and from time to time he came over to say a few words to Li Fengyao.
But I didn't see Xu Xiangqian.
Jiang Wang glanced around and found Zhao Wuyan and Zishu in a relatively inferior place. Xu Xiangqian was also crowded next to them. And Yan Fu next to him had obviously been forcibly brought to accompany them.
I wonder if Yangliu who was welcoming the guests would cry on the spot if he happened to meet them... Although Xu Xiangqian didn't have any chance, he was still better than Yangliu who was declared eliminated.
Zhao Wuyan was sitting in a slightly lower position. This is not to say that Longmen Academy, one of the four major academies in the world, is not as good as Shimen Li Family. But on the sea, the influence of Longmen Academy is very weak, and there is no branch on the island.
The offshore islands only have seats at sea, otherwise the person who presides over the sea festival ceremony should be the ceremonial officer of Qi State.
Jiang Wang actually knew all the news about several friends coming to Huai Island, but he had no contact with them.
Just like he is just hiding in the crowd at this moment and does not show his whereabouts. He has his own plans and preparations, and has corresponding awareness, but he does not intend to drag more people into the water.
Another example is Chong Xuanxin, who also attended the ceremony on behalf of Neverwinter Island. Perhaps due to his own strength, the position he sat in was almost the same as Zhao Wuyan.
In addition, he also saw Tian Chang. As the person in charge of the Osawa Tian family in the offshore islands recently, he sat further forward than Li Fengyao. This was a reflection of the Tian family's maritime power.
It's getting late and the noise is getting thicker.
The importance of sea festival activities in offshore islands is similar to the Spring Festival celebrated by people on land.
Every household on Xianyue Island hung up lanterns today.
The original meaning of this custom was to illuminate the way for heroic spirits to return home, so that the souls of human monks trapped in the lost world could find their way.
Over the years, it has been passed down through word of mouth among the sea people, and it has become a guide for the souls lost at sea to return home. The news about the sea people and the lost world has been slightly covered up, but it is more widespread.
Looking back from Tianya Terrace at this time, I can see thousands of lights, tens of thousands of lights, shining brightly on Huai Island.
Make Crescent Moon Island truly like the moon, shining on the blue sea.
Someone said, "The moon in the sky is in the night sky, the moon in the water is in the blue sea, and the moon in the world is in Huai Island."
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Wang truly felt it.
The so-called human moon is not a crescent-shaped island, but countless people living on this island and fighting for it. The lights lit by everyone come together to form a human moon.
This month can illuminate people's hearts, calm storms, drive away long nights, and comfort the souls of the dead.
It's almost time.
It seemed as if a person had flown down from the bright moon over there.
His large sleeves are fluttering, like a cage of clear light, and his whole figure is like another light source besides the bright moon in the night sky.
Like stars falling into the world.
One step appears high in the sky, and the next step has landed on Tianya Terrace.
Even though some disciples of Diaohailou preached: "Master Chongguang has arrived!"
He is the elder Jinghai who ranks first in Diaohai Tower, and is the core figure of Diaohai Tower who is only inferior to the owner.
But I saw this man standing in front of the big chair at the main seat, facing everyone, and also facing the vast sea beyond Tianya Terrace.
He is eight feet tall, with a tall and straight figure, and his face is always shrouded in light, which makes it hard to see clearly, but he is undoubtedly very majestic.
Everyone on the Tianya stage stood up to show respect.
And he opened his hands, pressed them down, and sighed——
"The bright moon is still as bright as yesterday, and time has flown by. Unconsciously...it's April 4th again."
