Liao Fan said: "My two distinguished guests, although the national strength of our Bailian Kingdom is not as strong as that of Tang Kingdom and Yuan Dynasty, there are many interesting and unique things in Bailian City. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
In addition, the azure sea of trees outside Bailian City is also a unique sight. If you two have nothing to do, you can take advantage of these three days to go and have some fun."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li and Huo Xing could only nod and say a few perfunctory words.
After Luo Fan left, the two sat in the house.
"What is this White Lotus Saint planning? He has no choice but to agree to the alliance. What is he trying to do by dragging his feet?"
Ye Li said, shaking his head.
Huo Xing said: "I told you that the guys from the White Lotus Nation are all double-faced. God knows what they are thinking.
We only have three days left here, and it's really annoying that these guys are taking their time."
Ye Li said: "If the emergency situation does not happen in their country, they are of course not anxious. If the White Lotus Country has problems, they will be more anxious than anyone else.
By the way, speaking of this, I wonder if there are any people from the World Alliance in the White Lotus Kingdom.
If there are people from the Tianxia Alliance here, they might try to use the same old tricks to seize the position of the White Lotus Saint in the White Lotus Kingdom."
When Huo Xing said this, his expression changed and he said, "That's right. If the position of the White Lotus Saint of the White Lotus Nation is taken away, then there will be no point in us cooperating with them."
Ye Li said: "I wonder if there is anyone else who can inherit this position besides the current White Lotus Saint?"
Huo Xing thought for a moment and said, "The White Lotus Saint of the White Lotus Nation is not inherited by future generations, but by the descendants of the Saint's line.
Generally speaking, each generation of Saint will have two or three disciples, all of whom are trained to become the Saint's successors.
This generation's White Lotus Saint inherited the position after defeating another competitor.
He now has two disciples, but their strength is still a little insufficient. If they want to inherit the position of White Lotus Saint, it will be a bit difficult."
Ye Li asked: "So where is Saint White Lotus's former opponent now?"
Huo Xing thought for a moment and said, "The former rival of Saint White Lotus was named Tian Wu. In terms of strength, he was not inferior to Saint White Lotus, but he had different ideas from his master. In the end, he did not receive enough support and lost the opportunity to inherit the position.
This person should be practicing in Mount Moro now. Generally, the losers in the competition will become elders of the White Lotus Kingdom and practice in Mount Moro.
Of course, although they are elders, they do not hold any real power, so they do not pose much of a threat to the position of Saint White Lotus."
Ye Li pondered for a while and said, “So now it seems that the three people who can get their hands on the position of White Lotus Saint are Tian Wu, in addition to his two disciples.
Well, that’s hard to judge…
By the way, Senior Huo, do you know if there are any larger gangs in the White Lotus Kingdom, like the Mengshan Society in the Tang Kingdom and the Shanqiu League in the Great Yuan Kingdom?"
Huo Xing thought about it and said, "I really don't know about this. I don't pay much attention to the White Lotus Country.
When we meet Saint White Lotus again, we will ask him about these things and remind him.
Although I hate these pretentious things, if they get into trouble, my Tang country will also be doomed."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Well, we have nothing to do now, so why don't we just go out for a walk."
Hearing Ye Li's proposal, Huo Xing could only nod helplessly. Then they gathered all the members of the delegation together and went for a walk in the city.
In the next two days, under Laofan's arrangement, we visited various famous scenic spots around Bailian City, which was a small relaxation.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Liaofan sent someone to formally invite the members of the delegation to participate in the sacrificial activities in the huge square behind the Bailian Palace.
At this time, all the people of the White Lotus Kingdom gathered around the square, creating a huge crowd of people.
As VIPs, Ye Li and his companions were brought directly into the square by Le Fan.
Ye Li noticed that there was a huge green lotus stone platform in the front center of the square, and the White Lotus Saint was standing on the platform at this moment.
A huge platform was built in the center of the square, and Ye Li didn’t know what it was used for.
At this time, many high-ranking officials of the White Lotus Nation were gathered in the square. They all looked up at the White Lotus Saint on the green lotus with expressions of great reverence on their faces.
Ye Li and the others were brought to the location closest to the Blue Lotus, where they could clearly see every move of the White Lotus Saint. "Senior Huo, what exactly is the Blue Lotus Festival of the White Lotus Nation?"
Ye Li asked with some confusion.
Huo Xing said: "The ancestor of the White Lotus Nation's legend was born from a white lotus.
This lotus flower did not grow alone, but grew together with a blue lotus.
The ancestors of the White Lotus Kingdom, which was born from the White Lotus, obtained the method of cultivation from the Green Lotus, and finally slowly opened up a territory, eventually establishing the current White Lotus Kingdom.
Therefore, the purpose of the Qinglian Festival is actually to commemorate the merits of the ancestors, and it is a ceremony to worship the ancestors.
During the festival, they will reward those who have made great contributions to the country, and they will also hold a battle event called Shang Qinglian. "
After hearing Huo Xing's explanation, Ye Li nodded and said, "So that's how it is. The history of the White Lotus Country is really interesting."
As he was talking, Tunri, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "It seems that this White Lotus Country is indeed related to Prajna Mountain. Prajna Mountain once had a similar legend, saying that their ancestors were born from lotus flowers.
I don’t know how these two continents, which are so far apart, are connected.”
Tunri's words made Ye Li stunned, and a little surprise appeared on his face.
Soon, the Qinglian Festival ceremonies began.
The Holy Lord White Lotus stood on the green lotus, his face full of sacredness and solemnity.
After he recited a sacrificial text on the green lotus, he performed a circle of ceremonies. The high-ranking officials of the White Lotus Nation in the square were all burning incense and praying.
The common people nearby were also praying the same prayers. Ye Li listened and found that the contents of their prayers were nothing more than good weather, peace and well-being, which were all very positive things.
The ceremony lasted until 10 noon when it stopped. The people all showed excited smiles and looked towards the platform in the center of the square.
Ye Li had already understood that what was about to begin on the platform was the so-called Shang Qinglian combat activity, but Ye Li was a little confused as to what kind of combat activity it was.
