Chapter 216 Penglai Square Swims Dragon

Lanjing City Center, Penglai Square.

It is about two kilometers away from the Eastern Qin Palace.

This square is not only the largest square in the Eastern Qin Kingdom, but also the largest square in the Ugu Continent.

It is 1,000 meters long and 800 meters wide.

It is a large square that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at the same time.

Today, it's even more overcrowded.

Because the most lively dragon dance of the Poseidon Festival will be held here.

On the edge of the square, colorful flags fluttered and people were boiling.

Early in the morning, it is crowded with people, most of them are dressed in festive costumes, and their faces are full of festive joy.

The square is surrounded by stairs that serve as stands.

Outside the stands, there are a variety of shops, teahouses, hotels, inns and other supporting facilities.

And the most eye-catching, is still a tall building standing in the center of the square, all of which are built of century-old giant trees, which are both tall and sturdy.

It is a pagoda-like building with a height of 81 meters and a total of 72 floors, all of which are made of primitive wood, and not even the bark has been peeled off.

At the 81st meter of the spire, there is a shining orb, which shines even more dazzlingly in the sun.

It was a real natural sapphire.

The colors are magnificent, crystal clear, and have become the most dazzling existence in the entire square.

This will be the most precious reward of this dragon dance.

The morning sun rises, and the glow shines in all directions.

More and more people gathered, and the fifteen dragon dance teams that stood out from the preliminary and semi-finals of the Eastern Qin Kingdom have rushed to Penglai Square one after another.

Suddenly, from the east entrance, there was a commotion

"Wow, look, the emperor has also come to watch the battle in person."

"Ah, why does the emperor attach so much importance to this dragon dance conference this year? I actually came to watch the battle in person! ”

"yes, what a spectacular procession!"

"Look, look, Princess Fluttershy's carriage is coming."

"Oh, I came with distinguished guests to enjoy the dragon dance!"

"This time, we must work harder and dance at the highest level to live up to the emperor's expectations of us!"

……

There was a lot of talk and excitement.

With the emperor coming, first of all, the Praetorian Guards of the imperial city, they arrived at the scene first and did a good job of safety in advance.

A simple but gorgeous grandstand was also temporarily erected on the east side of the stand.

When Qin Siyong stepped out of the carriage and sat on the noble seat in the stands, the people immediately knelt down and saluted like a sea of mountains, shouting long live.

Qin Siyong calmly accepted people's kneeling, and after the salute, he calmly mobilized his internal force and said loudly:

"Flat!"

Subsequently, Mu Qianmei's carriage also came to the back of the emperor, and Mu Qianmei, accompanied by Hua Durou, also walked out of the carriage.

"Ah, it's really Princess Fluttershy!"

"Princess Fluttershy!"

"Princess Fluttershy!"

"Princess Fluttershy!"

……

People shouted loudly and with enthusiasm and excitement.

Mu Qianmei slowly bowed to everyone, and then sat down in a seat next to Qin Siyong amid the warm applause of the people.

These are two seats on the same platform.

People couldn't help but sigh again.

Princess Yunyu was actually on an equal footing with the Emperor of Eastern Qin.

As soon as the noise fell, there was another exclamation.

It turned out that another team appeared.

The leaders were Liu Tingfeng, who was dressed in white, and Mo Huan, who was dressed in black.

The two handsome men, one black and one white, immediately became the focus of attention in the square.

"Yun Yu Guo is also here to compete?"

"Why didn't you hear about it beforehand?"

"I haven't heard that there is also a dragon dance team in Yunyu Country! Are they just guest performers? ”

"I see, it's not a guest performer, it's here to be a foil for our dragon dance team of the Eastern Qin Kingdom."

However, there are also women who whisper praise:

"What a handsome two beautiful men!"

This wave of accidents made people both surprised and extremely excited.

It turned out that in order not to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives, Qin Siyong kept the matter of inviting Yun Yuguo to participate in the competition a secret, and people from the outside world didn't know about it at all.

Think about it, since becoming the emperor, he also came to watch the dragon dance competition for the first time.

The last time I watched the battle was when I was the prince.

And at that time, he was still a very low-key person, wearing plain clothes, quietly hiding in the crowd.

No one knew that he was the crown prince.

Now, even if he wants to visit Weifu, there are not many opportunities.

Sometimes, he even thinks that it is really good to be an ordinary person, free and easy, just like the last time he met Mu Qianmei in Yunxi City, life is not also very fun!

It's a pity that there is no if in life, he is in this position, and he also has the responsibility that must be borne in this position.

Seeing Liu Tingfeng and Mo Huan who led the team, Qin Siyong also had a sense of brightness in his eyes at that moment.

Compared to many teams on the field, the team led by these two people stands out from the crowd.

Extraordinary.

Looking at the entire arena, the sixteen teams have been prepared, and their faces are full of excitement and a little nervous.

After the commotion, many people's eyes turned to the sapphire at the top of the tower.

The dazzling light shimmering in the air is so dazzling and luxurious.

In the eyes of anticipation, the dragon dance is finally about to begin.

The one who slowly walked onto the small stage in front of the tower in the middle of the square was actually Wei Xiaohan, the prime minister of the Eastern Qin Kingdom.

Wei Xiaohan, who is already in his late teens, looks like he is in his fifties because of his well-maintained body.

The complexion is ruddy and full of energy.

This year's dragon dance was actually presided over by the prime minister of a country himself.

It can be seen how much the country attaches importance to this year's dragon dance conference.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and when the noisy square finally calmed down, he said with a smile:

"Today is the Poseidon Festival, the most solemn festival in our Eastern Qin Kingdom! On this special day, we would like to extend a warm welcome to Princess Fluttershy of Cloudfeather and all the guests of the Cloudfeather delegation! ”

Thunderous applause immediately rang out.

After the applause stopped, Wei Xiaohan continued:

"This is a traditional festival in our Eastern Qin Kingdom, and in the coastal city, the sea god Niangniang has always been our biggest god."

"She blessed all our people by the sea, no matter how stormy the waves, we can return safely."

"Legend has it that dragons give birth to nine sons, all of whom are different, but one thing is the same, that is, all of them are beings with boundless magic power and vast magical powers."

"In order to commemorate such a legend, we held a dragon dance conference, and I also hope that everyone will show their lifelong skills, dance the charm of the dragon, dance the spirit of the dragon, and pray to the heavens, I hope that our Eastern Qin Kingdom, our Yugu Continent will always be smooth and rainy, and the five grains will be abundant!"

The last two sentences are sonorous and powerful, full of pride.

The people also shouted loudly:

"The wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant!"

"The wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant!"

"The wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant!"

……

After everyone's voices gradually calmed down, Wei Xiaohan continued:

"Today, the dragon dance team that can pass the preliminaries and come here is a very good team."

"This is a sport of solidarity and cooperation, and we need everyone to work together and cooperate with each other to complete it well."

"I hope that this spirit will not only be shown in the competition, but also in the little things in life."

"Here, in addition to the dragon dance team that our Eastern Qin Kingdom has advanced through the preliminaries, there is also a unique dragon dance team, that is, the Yuehua Dragon Dance Team from Yunyu Country, please extend your warmest welcome to their participation!"

There was another thunderous round of applause.

Wei Xiaohan waited for the applause to subside before he continued:

"The Yuehua Dragon Dance Team was just formed yesterday, and they only went through a day of training, and they came to participate in our Dragon Dance Conference at the invitation of the emperor, which is the most precious spirit of our Dragon Dance and self-improvement, focusing on participation."

"I sincerely wish them excellent results!"

"Of course, I also hope that every team can have a wonderful performance, dance the spirit of the dragon, as a reward, the first place, in addition to taking away the shining sapphire, will also receive a reward of five hundred taels of gold and a pennant from the emperor!"

"Okay, without further ado, I solemnly announce now that the Dragon Dance Conference has officially begun!"

There was another round of cheers.

People are so excited!

This is the biggest and most rewarding event in history.

Each of the three rewards is incomparably valuable.

The referee walked to the middle of the field, held a small blue flag in his hand, and held it high.

Sixteen teams are already in place.

Sixteen brightly colored dragons were already waiting in sixteen directions at the edge of the square.

Mu Qianmei, who was sitting on the stage, soon found some familiar figures.

There is a dragon dance team named "Oriental Dragon", which is the leader of the Oriental Shaohong team of the Oriental family.

There is a team called Qinling Flying Dragon, and there are people from the Qinling faction among them.

It seems that this is really a game of dragon and tiger!

What kind of achievements can they achieve?

Although it has been changed to someone from the Lone Star Hall to compete, how much hope can she have after half a day of training.

Mu Qianmei was a little apprehensive in her heart.

When Mu Qianmei was thinking about something, a gun salute suddenly sounded on the field, and the referee announced loudly:

"Dragon Dance Competition, Begin!"

After speaking, the flag in his hand was raised down vigorously.

The drums beat instantly.

Sixteen swimming dragons began to move in an instant.

This dragon dance tournament is not just about speed, it is not about whoever runs fast and climbs the pagoda and wins if he gets the dragon ball.

There are also requirements to walk from the edge of the square to the bottom of the pagoda, and a series of actions must be completed to have the qualification to climb the pagoda.

If the action is not completed well, the referee will announce the disqualification at any time.

In this process, if there is a cross between adjacent teams, the two sides can also compete in the performance, and some teams can be eliminated in advance.

Although there is no definite time limit, everyone still tries to speed things up as much as possible.

I want to reach the bottom of the pagoda as soon as possible without fouling.

After all, getting the Dragon Ball is the most important thing.
