The third day of March.
Two large carriages stopped outside the gate of Yuyang Palace. Ge Yu, the director of Jinghu Daoist Academy, got off the front carriage, but six people got off the rear carriage. They are six Taoist disciples including Meng Chuan, Wu Qi, and Wan Mang. The compartment is very spacious, and it is not too crowded for six people to sit down.
"Yuyang Palace." Meng Chuan and the other six looked up at the palace.
Yuyang Palace is the sacred place of the entire Dongning Mansion, and the owner of Yuyang Palace is also the strongest existence in Dongning Mansion.
The legendary "Yuanchu Mountain" built a Yuyang Palace in every prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and sent a disciple to sit in the Yuyang Palace. The master of Yuyang Palace is the strongest force guarding a mansion! The strongest god and demon in Dongning Mansion for more than a hundred years, the ancestor of the Zhang family also worshiped in Yuanchu Mountain, and now he is guarding a place outside.
"Follow me in." Ge Yu said as he walked forward first, Meng Chuan and the other six followed behind and stepped into the gate of Yuyang Palace.
At this time, several luxury carriages arrived from behind, and someone got out of the carriage.
Meng Chuan and the others looked back.
"Huh?" Meng Chuan saw Yun Qingping and Yun Fuan at a glance. Yun Fuan also came with his wife.
"The Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Festival is also a rare event in Dongning Prefecture. The imperial court and the five great demon families can send people in." Dean Ge Yu said casually, "However, each family is limited to sending up to ten people."
…
"It's Meng Chuan." Yun Qingping was with the clansmen and also saw Meng Chuan. At this moment, she felt quite complicated.
After all, you were just sensible, and you were told—that is the person who will marry you and live your whole life!
Although he successfully broke off the engagement, he was still different from others in his heart. And not long after the engagement was broken off... Meng Chuan soared into the sky, realized the secret skills, and became a dazzling genius in the entire Dongning Mansion. Even the friends of the clan murmured about it, which of course made her feel a little confused.
However, Yun Qingping knew that she had no regrets, because no matter how powerful Meng Chuan was, it was not what she wanted!
"You guys, take a good look." Yun Fucheng, the head of the Yun family, is quite burly, looking at the six young juniors, "When you serve in the military at the age of twenty, you will fight monsters to the death This time, you will see the ferocity of the monster with your own eyes. If anyone is frightened by the monster and closes his eyes, go back to the quiet room for ten days!"
"Yes, father (uncle)." Yun Qingping and the other six young men and women responded obediently.
Yun Fucheng, the boss of the Yun family, the most outstanding of the three heroes.
When they served in the Qinyang Pass, they all made outstanding contributions. Not only did they realize their potential, but they also succeeded in condensing their pills. It's just that when fighting with monsters, it takes too long to cast the forbidden technique, which hurts the foundation, and there is no hope for gods and demons forever.
"Brother, let's go in quickly, don't block the gate of this palace." Yun Fuan laughed repeatedly, he always greeted his elder brother with a smile, even if his elder brother scolded him, he had to bear it obediently! There is no way, among the army at Qinyangguan, in front of the court, they all agree with his elder brother Yun Fucheng more.
"Well, go in." Yun Fucheng nodded.
The two brothers brought their wives and six juniors of the family to enter Yuyang Palace together.
*****
In an open square in Yuyang Palace, there is a large arena with a lot of seats placed around it.
The Eight Great Daoyuan, the Five Great Families, the Imperial Palace, and the Yuyang Palace each have their own positions.
Meng Chuan naturally sat in the camp of Jinghu Taoist Temple.
"Chuan'er." The patriarchs Meng Yanping and Meng Dajiang led the eight juniors of the Meng family to gain knowledge. Meng Dajiang even winked at Meng Chuan.
"My father." Meng Chuan muttered.
"A lot of juniors have come from every major family." Meng Chuan soon discovered that the five major families usually have two or three high-level leaders leading a group of juniors. It’s all for the younger generation to gain insight into, “It’s only the Yun family, the head of the Yun family and Yun Fu’an even brought their wives here. That’s right... the younger generations of the Yun family who are under 20 years old and over six years old, only these six Bar."
The Yun Family has too few members.
The ancestor of the Yun family is the first generation, and the second generation has five sons and one daughter. The third generation is Yun Qingping's generation...
There are only dozens of people in the entire Yun Family.
Participating in a grand demon-slaying event in Yunyang Palace, all the juniors of the right age came, and they could bring their wives.
In order to watch the battle, the younger generations of the other four major families competed extremely fiercely.
"Palace Master Yuyang is here."
All neatly.
Everyone present stood up, even the magistrate of the court stood up, and even took the initiative to greet him.
"Palace Master Yuyang?" Meng Chuan also watched from afar.
It was a tall and burly young man. His whole body seemed to be carved out of jade, and as he walked step by step, he seemed to be the most eye-catching existence in the world. His eyes were so bright that when he looked at them, no one could help but lower their heads slightly, not daring to look at him. This is the most powerful existence in Dongning Mansion, the patron saint who protects Dongning Mansion.
It is also a god and demon who came out of Yuanchu Mountain!
Palace Master Yuyang walked to the main seat and sat down directly. Even though he was sitting, there was an invisible aura covering the surroundings in all directions. Even the bohemian Dean Ge Yu was very careful and behaved in front of Palace Master Yuyang.
"Huh?" At this time, Meng Chuan and the others noticed that there were still a thin young man and a white-clothed young man standing on both sides behind Palace Master Yuyang.
"That thin young man is Mei Yuanzhi, who is the young man in white?" Meng Chuan was a little puzzled.
"Brother Meng, do you know who the boy in white is?" Wan Mang asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Meng Chuan shook his head.
"It's fine that Mei Yuanzhi stands behind Palace Master Yuyang, but who is that white-clothed boy?" There were also whispers in other places, obviously everyone noticed the white-clothed boy.
At this time, the magistrate took a few steps forward, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, the Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Festival is held every three years, and it was established at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. The purpose is to train the young heroes of each prefecture, so that the young heroes Before entering the battlefield, you can fight with the monsters in advance, and truly experience the power of the monsters. In this way, you will have a little more confidence in your survival when you go to the battlefield in the future. You must understand the good intentions of Yuanchu Mountain."
"The rules of this monster-slaying event, you heroes have also listened carefully." The magistrate said loudly, "This time I went to the arena to fight the monsters to the death. If you find that you can't resist it, you only need to jump off the arena to survive. You don't have to Worry about accidents, because with the Palace Master around, there will be no accidents."
Speaking of which, the magistrate also smiled at Palace Master Yuyang.
"Of course, outsiders are not allowed to intervene in the arena, even if they die in battle, there will be no complaints. This is the rule of the monster slaying event, and no one can violate it." The prefect said coldly, "I can tell you first, in history, death Those who are in this arena have broken arms and legs in the arena. If you are afraid, you can just give up this opportunity."
No one will give up.
During military service, the battlefield was far more dangerous than it is today. If you give up the opportunity, you will be ridiculed and looked down upon by the entire Dongning Mansion.
"Okay, let's start the monster slaying event." The magistrate returned to his seat after finishing speaking.
A prison car came slowly.
Inside the prison car was an upright pig demon. This pig demon was about two feet tall, with fat meat and black hair all over his body. His eyes were staring at the many people sitting outside the cage, and his eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent.
"Be good," said a man with a broken arm who was pulling the prison cart.
Hearing the voice of the man with the broken arm, the pig demon trembled, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
"As long as you win in the arena, you can have a full meal. As long as you can kill a human youth, you can enjoy delicious food and wine for ten days." The man with the broken arm said, "But you must not leave the arena. In the arena, die by a thousand cuts!"
"I know." The pig demon's voice was low and human.
The prison car arrived next to the ring.
The cell door was opened.
"Go up." The man with the broken arm said coldly.
As soon as the pig demon took a step, it jumped onto the ring. There were heavy chains on its wrists and ankles, and these chains also hit the ring when it landed on the ring.
Meng Chuan stared carefully. He could faintly feel the surging power of this pig demon. The toughness of the black pig hair was no less than that of heavy armor. The pig demon was looking in all directions with killing intent. Every human race is an enemy! The madness in its eyes, as well as the intense hatred and murderous intent, made some human teenagers tremble. For example, the youngest eight-year-old boy in the Yun family turned pale with fright, and hugged his mother tightly.
"Don't hug." Yun Fuan scolded his son angrily, and stared at his wife coldly, "A loving mother is a loser!"
At this time, the court official looked at the list and said loudly: "The marrow-washing disciples will go to the ring first, and the first one is Zhang Rushang from Lieyang Dao Academy."
