Picking dragons and selecting phoenixes starts from October 15th every year, and in October, those with children of the right age will try their luck.
Some people even take out the earthen pot from the birth of the child, and save a copper plate every day, commonly known as Xiaoer's money, as a way to participate in the selection of dragons and phoenixes.
At this time, it is the most prosperous time in various places, and the merchants make a lot of money, and many civilians know that this is the only time in their lives to enter the city. .
This time is also a good time for the martial arts army to select talents.
There are always people who have already found a good target, and they will not mention it if they choose the dragon or the phoenix. If they can't be selected, they will swarm them. After all, Kun-Lai is looking for the best, and there are many others that are not bad.
And today is October fifteenth.
The day when Picking the Dragon and Picking the Phoenix officially started.
The city can no longer accommodate so many people. Therefore, there are many residents outside the city of Great Xiao, and their entry has been restricted.
Simply put, the team has already lined up outside the city.
A tall and slender girl squeezed into the crowd with a displeased expression: "You still have to limit the number of people, why! It's not enough to pay taxes all day long. If you have to help, then there will be no one?"
The sick and weak boy next to her tugged at the corner of her clothes: "keep your voice down..."
"Why should I keep quiet, is there anything wrong with what I said?" The girl was so angry that she turned back.
"Of course not!" A young soldier next to her glanced at her, "If we hadn't started repairs at the beginning of the year, do you think the shacks you've been living in these days would still be a place for people to live?"
The gathering of people outside the city is inevitable once every 12 years. The capital has long been familiar with the road, and the manpower, residence, and diversion have been practiced countless times.
The shacks outside the city are the most dilapidated, but they are all stone pillars, which can be sheltered from the wind and rain with straw. There are also various hawkers in the city selling rice, grain, water and food. so crowded
Before October, all of them had paid double pay, and it was stipulated that there should be no difference this time, otherwise they would clean up from top to bottom, and these young people who didn't know what to do would still complain everywhere.
The girl paused, snorted twice, lowered her head and stopped talking.
The sick and weak boy said sorry and continued to wait for the long queue.
From time to time, someone walked out of the city with a desolate face, crying in all kinds of ways, and the teenagers lining up beside them were frightened.
Although they all know that the dragon and the phoenix do not choose one, but how many do not want to soar into the sky
Besides, compared to reading, practicing martial arts, and doing business successfully, there are far fewer people who choose one in a hundred.
After cultivating immortals, they have a long life. Even if they go to Kun-Lai and are elected and eliminated, they will be able to read knowledge, have good martial arts, and widen their horizons. When they return, they will be talents from all over the world. The pearl will be cast secretly, and the world will be obliterated.
For civilians, soaring into the sky is like that.
The line moves very slowly, from day to night, but from outside the city to the city gate, and the line is still extending.
This is where the children and teenagers in more remote places have arrived. They are far away and earlier than the door, but they can't help but be afraid.
After January, the Asking Heart Stone will be closed, and many people who have been delayed on the road will lose the opportunity forever.
At this time, some rumors also spread faintly.
"Have you heard?" Someone next to him whispered, "There is a problem with the divine stone this time."
"How could there be a problem? That's something built by True God Kun-Lai." This time, both the listener and the speaker were interested, and they quickly communicated.
"I heard that many nobles colluded with the national teacher and broke the stone." The man's voice unconsciously raised, "This time, many nobles have entered."
"I also heard that the Kun-Lai High Immortals released many children who were arrested before, saying that they had gone out of their way to make up for the children of those noble families."
"It's just a beast!"
"Is that a fake this time, those noble disciples broke the god stone, so there are so many people?"
"Yes, so I was not selected!"
"Wait a minute, maybe the Divine Stone is ready, there are Kun-Lai Immortals here!?"
"That is the god stone established by the true god. It has not been broken for hundreds of years. Can the immortals repair it?"
…
Although the rumors are shocking, the surrounding sergeants are majestic, and the sharp blades in their hands are even more majestic, but many unwilling people linger, always hoping to have a little chance.
The girl stabbed her companion with her elbow: "Alie, do you think what they said is true?"
The sick and weak boy took a step back after being stabbed to the ground, stretched out his hand to press the possibly green rib, and gave a wry smile.
"Speak." The girl urged him. On the way, he predicted that God would be right. If not, they would not be able to escape here.
The young man glanced around and seemed to be hesitating, not knowing what to say.
"Come on!" The girl pushed him.
The boy lowered his head, grabbed the girl's hand, and wrote two words on her hand.
Be careful.
The girl's heart skipped a beat, and instinctively grabbed the boy's hand.
"It's those people who spread the rumors." The boy continued to swipe on her hand. He could already see that the luck of those few people was intertwined, with a strong black aura that was infecting the luck of others around him.
Generally, in his eyes, the qi on ordinary people's heads is white qi, and those with thick qi are lucky and those with thin qi are lucky.
Noble people are Qingqi, and there are thicknesses. The most expensive person is Ziqi, and he has only seen one.
And black qi is dead qi and decay qi, once it is stained, it will be injured even if it is not dead.
At this time, two more people lined up behind the team, a man and a woman.
Surprise those around you.
The girl was wearing a hood, which covered her face but could not cover her body, which was hazy and light like a misty rain. With her graceful posture and hands raised, it was like a fairy coming into the world, which was unforgettable at first sight.
The young man was eighteen or nineteen years old, tall, with an extremely cold and handsome face, and stayed beside the girl in a guarding manner.
The people around couldn't help but wonder, these two people didn't look like ordinary people, why didn't they go to the city to cut the queue like a nobleman, but have to suffer in line here.
You must know that this team is in a row for ten days and a half. If there are no people who know each other to help out, going out to eat and drink will be a problem.
Since January, there are not a few serious illnesses.
The sick boy named Alie's eyes lit up, he decisively pulled up the girl, and withdrew from the front of the line, lining up behind the boy who was not a mortal.
"Why, we finally got to the front and we are about to enter the city!" She raised her hand to hit someone.
"Sister Su, these two are not mortals at first glance, let's get a touch of immortal energy." Ali hurriedly appeased her and winked a few times. As soon as these two people arrived, the black energy outside the city was swept away. Sweeping away, the fate on her head is huge and terrifying, a hundred times more frightening than the Kun-Lai cultivator who rescued him before. Approaching such a person, as long as there is no hostility, will be beneficial and not harmful.
The girl just stopped and didn't bother.
He just looked at the two in front of him with scrutiny.
The girl in white, who looked like a fairy, looked back at Ah Lie, let out a chuckle, and said, "This younger brother has good eyesight, what's his name?"
The voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of crispness, just listening to it was like enjoying.
"Thank you for your compliment, my name is Yuanlie." He replied respectfully.
"This name is domineering, but you are too weak, and you have to practice hard to be worthy of the name, so Xiaolie will follow her sister, okay?" The girl in white said with a smile, "My name is Mingyu, I am missing a few. What about the partner who went to Kun-Lai to practice together?"
Yuan Lie's heart skipped a beat. Although this girl was also full of purple energy, she actually said Kun-Lai was the same as her own family. I was afraid that there was a problem with her origin.
And her luck is so terrifying, will it bring trouble to Kun-Lai Immortal Mountain
However, when I saw that an ordinary Kun-Lai disciple had such a terrifying luck, if there were ten hundred people, this girl would definitely not be able to make waves... right
"Mingyu, don't make trouble," Ye Hantou said, "You have already collected dozens of them along the way..."
"If you are a little more aggressive and suppress Feng Qingxiu, why should I work so hard?" Ji Mingyu snorted softly, without listening to persuasion, she was determined to continue to go further and further on the road of seeking attention from her father.
"If you are fortunate enough to enter Kunlai Immortal Mountain, you will naturally be together." Yuan Lie said sincerely, "It is also a great opportunity to be with my sister."
He was gentle, polite and sensible, and soon the Mingyu girl started to chat, which made the 'Sister Su' beside him very angry and turned to the side with a stern face.
However, after a while, the team did not make an inch.
The test takers around couldn't help but feel anxious.
Thinking of the previous rumors, I can't help but float.
Ji Mingyu was also puzzled: "Is there another problem, didn't he say he can handle it?"
She asked Ye Han.
"After all, it's the Heart Stone. He only learned a few runes and he dares to say that he can make one. It's normal to have a little problem in the middle." Ye Han was also very worried, "How about we go to Jiuxi City? The Heart Stone there is safe. "
Unlike Ji Mingyu, who is guarded by a eldest lady, he really wants to go to the door to make up the get out of class, otherwise it will be impossible to move.
He can't always rely on Mingyu to live.
While they were chatting, the surrounding situation had begun to be out of control.
Rumors spread faster than anything. In almost less than an hour, the news of the destruction of the divine stone spread throughout the city, and the murderers were each set up with objects they were willing to suspect, and there were crowds of questioning people everywhere.
All kinds of people began to attack the imperial court and the temple. Although there were many sergeants, it was impossible to imagine when faced with the crowds like mountains and seas.
——
In the temple, Feng Qingxiu looked at the huge stone that glowed again and thought hard.
"You said yes, this god stone can be used!" The monarch on the side looked solemn, "Give me a moment, and I will go to the crowd outside."
He has already explained the current situation to the other party. As the king of a country, he always has to give an explanation to his people.
And this confession is something that the other party can only give him.
"Master, what do you think?" Feng Qingxiu asked the paper man quietly.
"There is no way to restart, it will take a day." The paper man said lightly, "In order to measure the will of understanding, this program is more complicated. You rewrite it again, and it is normal to have bugs."
"But now the people outside are about to change." Feng Qingxiu didn't dare to give time for the opponent to overwhelm the civilians, "Master, do I have a lot of authority in Kun-Lai?"
"It's very big. You can bring anyone from outside to Kun-Lai if you want."
"No need!" Feng Qingxiu smiled slightly and turned to the monarch, "The news is that the God Stone was injured and is still being repaired. I will test it on Kunlai's Flying Peak for everyone."
The monarch is overjoyed, this is Feilai Xianshan. With this name, there is no need to worry about the people suspecting that he is secretly doing things.
No one would doubt Kun-Lai, a fairy mountain.
So he left immediately and spread the news to the outside world.
"Feilaifeng didn't ask about the heart stone, right?" the paper man asked strangely.
"Just move this over there." Feng Qingxiu said firmly, "The divine stone on Feilai Peak has not been used before. If something goes wrong, let them wait for a while, they won't say anything. Hurry up and check again. Don't crash anymore!"
"Apprentice... Pay attention to your attitude!"
