When the day came for the alliance meeting, all the leaders of the Xia Dynasty had been waiting for a long time.
No one was late, everyone who was supposed to come came, and people who shouldn't came also came.
From the shores of the East China Sea to the source of the great river, the words in the books gradually became assimilated, and the accents of various places also blended and changed. There were no longer fights between each other. The Xia were kin within themselves. It cannot be said that they were in harmony, but at least they respected each other on the surface.
.
They gathered in this city that spanned several eras.
The land of Taotang, the heart of the Central Plains.
There has been a Tucheng here since the time of Emperor Ku. In the era of Emperor Zhi, Emperor Fangxun was granted the title of Emperor Fangxun to the Tang Dynasty. This is how the city of Taotang flourished.
Here, countless people started from trying to make clay, to making bricks, from pottery to copperware, ironware, and then to the era of steelmaking. They built this tall building little by little on the barren land with their hands.
city.
Here, Zhuxia is no longer an illusory and intangible term. It is not a metaphysical false thing, but a real and huge ethnic group of thousands and tens of thousands of people.
Everyone has their own ideas and opinions on policies and systems. Some are stupid, some are wise, some are in high positions, and some are as humble as dust, but they are at least the leaders of Zhuxia, regardless of the ten thousand people.
The Lord is still the Lord of ten people. In the palace of Zhu Xia, they all sit on equal footing.
At least on the surface, that's the case.
"This is not a place for arrogance and nonsense."
"This is the center of the world that represents the future."
Some people walked towards the Yi Palace of the Hui Alliance with the mood of a pilgrim, and some people thought that if they could walk into that palace, or stand on the stage with their backs to it, it would mean that they had arrived at the palace of Zhu Xia.
The center of power, instead of just standing below, as it is now.
Not allowed to enter? It’s obviously an alliance, but you can’t enter the palace?
Someone came from the Yi Palace: "People are not allowed to enter the palace because they have to tell the people of the world many things. In this broad daylight, we will join hands to respond to the light of the sun and the moon, and to respond to the energy of the four seas."
Fang Zhide, this is a big matter that obeys the will of nature, how can you hide in a small stone palace, hide in the darkness, light a lamp and whisper, this is not a shameful thing."
Yi Palace does not look grand, not even as grand as the marble white palace with the beauty of an imperial woman. It is just a large granary-like palace. Some people murmured that their own houses are much more grand than this palace.
But so what, this statement can only lead to ridicule from others.
Even if your palace is built up to the sky, side by side with the sun, so what? Among the powers in the world is this small granary in front of you, not your grand toilet.
Lin Jun stood in the crowd and looked at the small palace in front of him. There were people from small tribes who came to join the alliance. He thought that Lin Jun was a weakling like them, so he came to salute in a friendly manner, hoping to make friends.
His arrogance at this time has been completely subdued, and he even looks a little unfamiliar with the world, as if he came from the countryside. After all, in this huge scene with a huge crowd of people, there are many people with strong auras, but this is not the most important thing, but the people gathered here.
The people represent the entire Zhuxia.
This was also the first time that he fully understood the true meaning of "天下"!
So he couldn't help but feel great despair in his heart. Being able to gather all the strong men in the world here was more than he could handle alone, but he would not leave, at least until he finished watching this alliance.
This is something that will be recorded in the history books. Lin Jun looked at the historian not far away, thinking silently in his heart that even if he was killed by the Hongzhou people in the future, he would at least leave a heavy mark in the history books. I have also left my own footprints in the grand ceremony of the Xiahui Alliance.
Wen Ming was also in the crowd. Boyi and the others asked Wen Ming what they saw in Yi Palace last night.
"A wooden board with many small signs hanging on it."
The words ended here. Boyi and the others were not stupid. They already knew the origin and legend of the wooden board. Many stories came to their minds and they were suddenly shocked.
If this wooden board appeared in the Central Plains, it must be the masterpiece of Emperor Fangxun. The old man probably said "Give me one, too", so this thing appeared.
At this time, Shi Shen also arrived at the Zhuxia Alliance meeting. He showed his identity, but no one recognized him, which made him only watch from the periphery and unable to enter the circle of leaders. Even so, he was outside Seeing the vast scene inside was also very shocking.
Fortunately, soon, Master Qi, who was in the leader's circle, looked back and thought he was dazzled. However, it was not until Shichen waved to him that Qi suddenly came back to his senses.
It turns out this was not a dream.
He was so excited that he left his position. Many people around him saw Qi and another old man with a gray beard hugging each other and crying, and some didn't know why.
In the past, the world was loose. Even if there was a co-lord, it was only in name. If there were no real interests and strong force, the co-lord would be just a false title.
It's different now. Compared with Emperor Fangxun's campaigns in the north and south, he was even more heroic. All the heroes in the world were gathered together.
"When these people unite, they can even bring down the sun in the sky, and they can even kill the giant turtle carrying the sacred mountain in the East China Sea. No monster can stop the progress of the human race anymore."
The otherworldly god next to Shichen held a clay tablet in his arms and stood quietly without speaking, watching everything around him carefully.
After arriving at Taotang, all the scenery he saw here was an eye-opener for this old god.
It turns out that there is such a world at the end of the East?
Climbing over Ruomu in Yuyuan, across the majestic Sun Mountains, and to the east of the place where the sun god Utu was born, there is actually such a world.
And in this world, this great city-state is actually not the most advanced and civilized place on this land.
It turns out that the sun does not rise from Yu Yuan, nor does the sun set behind Yu Yuan. The end of the earth extends infinitely, and the same goes for the end of the sea. How many unknown civilizations with different customs and customs are there in this vast world?
Moreover, this civilization is too powerful and brilliant, and I always feel that their achievements should not belong to the current era.
When everyone was still writing on clay tablets, they had never seen such a thing as paper; when everyone was still using pottery, they had never seen such a thing as porcelain.
As for weapons, the smelting output of bronze is not high enough, but there is already steel here that is thousands of times more powerful than bronze.
When archers are complacent about shooting targets within a hundred steps, there are already firearms flying thousands of paces and bombarding them.
In my hometown, no one would believe that marbles are sharper and more powerful than arrows. The difference lies in gunpowder.
At this time, someone came out of the Yi Palace. Ruzai and Chonghua carried the wooden board and placed it in front of the leaders of the Xia.
The leaders fell into a brief silence, and then burst into a turbulent noise, because they had more or less heard rumors about this wooden slave, but they had never thought that they would actually see it in public!
Shichen and the otherworldly god didn't know why there was such a loud noise inside.
"Brother, what is that?"
Qi smiled and responded to his elder brother:
"From the past eight thousand years ago to the next two thousand years, all systems and methods of responding to changes are all written on it."
