There is only one day in the four years when the south gate of the palace is directly open. This has attracted countless people, scrambling to witness the prosperity that can only be seen in the past four years.

Keirogyu Shrine is located on a hill and is on high ground. Below the south gate, there is a snow-white jade staircase with a width of 100 zhang and a height of 99 steps.

At this time, the sun is no longer soft when it gets up in the morning, but is full of radiance, sprinkled on this snow-white step, making people look like a vast snowy field in front of them, so that people can't open their eyes.

The steps had long been crowded with idlers, but they were blocked by the guards lined up on the steps, leaving a wide empty passage in the middle. Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the formation masters who participated in the assessment.

"This is the dragon winning view in Xizhou, right? It was they who won the championship last time, do you still want to win the championship?"

The group of people from Xizhou Dragon Capture Temple, all wearing snow-white robes, wearing pure yang scarves, and carrying the Xuanmen magic sword behind them. The Dragon Capture View is also one of the best in the entire third continent. Today, one-third of the formation masters of the Royal Array are from this view, which can be called a powerful force.

As soon as the dragon snatcher passed, five strong men walked behind them, wearing only a bunch of variegated strips of cloth on their bodies, and their arms showing muscles as strong as rocks.

What is even more peculiar about these people is the hairstyle, these people all shave their hair on all sides, revealing a scalp as bright as copper and iron. The long hair left in the middle was braided into many small braids, like a mess of vines hanging down from the top of the head, and it looked quite weird.

Although the spectators intended to make fun of them, everyone knew that the Beizhou Da people were extremely fierce. The men glanced at each other, and there was silence all around them. It was only when they had passed that someone whispered:

"These people from the Yinshan Sect don't look like Taoist priests at all, they're all a bunch of reckless men! ”

"It's still a disciple of Shuiyue'an who has the image of a fairy. ”

Nanzhou Shuiyue Nunnery is all female cultivators. These women wore plain pale yellow dresses, black and white diamond-patterned armor, silk waists, and a glaive crown of jade hairpins in the hair on their heads.

Although these women are of different heights, they are all exquisite, with ice jade faces, walking all the way, the fragrant wind rises, and countless visitors around them are stunned for a long time.

"It's just good-looking, in terms of strength, who can compare to my Zhongzhou Truth-seeking Concept?"

In anticipation, the team of truth-seeking is finally late. The disciples of the Truth Seeker are four men and one woman, all wearing dark Taoist robes, and the black pressure is pressing, and under the sun, the figures are intertwined, which makes people feel mysterious and unpredictable.

The female disciple in the team was dressed in tight black, and her skin was snow-white. Although his gaze was as cold as ice, he attracted countless envy.

"That female crown, it's really ......" someone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Don't think about it, that's Qin Xi, the eldest lady of the Qin family in Zhongzhou! This woman has the posture of the country, the talent is superb, and at a young age, she has become a disciple of Liu Muyang, the big man of the truth-seeking view, is it a person like you who can climb high?"

The Truth-Seeking Formation Technique is actually not the strongest in Zhongzhou. However, the status of this view is extremely important, because it is the only formation view that can refine the "Heavenly Fire Ship". Jing Liguo relied on the fleet they built to build the country.

"Is there only four teams this year?" someone suddenly asked.

Compared with the grand occasion of hundreds of teams participating in the assessment four years ago, the foyer of the Royal Array this time was obviously much sluggish.

Originally, there were hundreds of arrays of emperor-given plaques. Anyone with a plaque can come to participate, and of course everyone is not willing to give up the opportunity.

The Royal Array is not a fictitious name, but a real authority that directly determines the annual distribution of Xuanmen resources. In the Third Continent, without a seat in the Royal Circle, there is no right to speak at all.

But this time, the demon army is rampant, and most of the Terrans are cowering in the city. Although the states are barely able to hold on, transportation between the two states has become a big problem. No one wants to take the risk of sending their proud disciples out to confront the demon army on the road.

In the end, the emperor had to order at least one team of men from each state to be escorted to Zhongzhou by the Feiyun fleet. For the sake of fairness, only one team is allowed to participate in Zhongzhou this time, so that the team in Zhongzhou is left with the view of truth.

"Sure enough, the demon army is raging, and this year, each state can produce a team, which is already very good. "Someone is talking.

When each team arrived at the gate, the steward checked the card and sang loudly about the view of the team, plus some historical merits, which attracted bursts of cheers.

Of course, most of these spectators cheered to Zhongzhou's truth-seeking view. After all, the onlookers were all people from Zhongzhou Fenglu City, and they naturally regarded the truth-seeking view of the dojo in Fenglu City as their own.

The beauty of the Shuiyue Nunnery from Nanzhou is moving, and it has also won a lot of cheers. Xizhou's dragon view is the great enemy of seeking truth and winning the championship, so naturally it is not so popular, and some people even applaud. As for the entry of the Yinshan faction composed of northern barbarians, the spectators didn't even dare to come out.

"No, there's still a team!"

The leader of the fifth team was a tall, handsome young man, dressed in a snow-white silk garment, with a scarf flying in the wind behind his head, and an old jade fan in his hand.

It's just that his jade fan is not an elegant ink painting, but a brocade with a golden copper coin embroidered on the brocade.

The man had a soft smile on his face, his eyes swept over, and the women in the audience only felt that this gentle smile went straight to their hearts, and none of them were unspring. But many ugly customers are dissatisfied:

"What are you kidding, isn't this Song Ruhai, the young man who broke out in the Song Family's Splendid Workshop?

"Could it be that the formation master assessment can also be passed if you have money?"

Someone muttered in a low voice: "I heard that this kid's origin is unknown, and no one knows whether his surname is Song or not." It just so happened that Song Qian of Jinxiufang accepted this person as his righteous son before he died of illness. I don't know what means he used, such a big industry as Jinxiufang was actually given to this outsider. ”

"Song Qian loved money all his life, but unfortunately he didn't even have a descendant when he died. But who else can he give if he doesn't give this big fortune to outsiders?"

Some people also calmly analyzed: "Song Ruhai, this kid is not simple, he is spending money to buy seats in the royal array, right? Now the demon army is everywhere, and the imperial court's military expenses are tight." It is not impossible for Splendid Fang to take the opportunity to donate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a seat in the Royal Array Courtyard. It's just that since ancient times, there has been no one in the Royal Array who can join without passing the assessment, so he is allowed to go through the form. ”

"Look at who this boy is bringing, is it Hu Nu?"

Song Ruhai was followed by a woman with a graceful figure and infinite reverie, wearing a tight dark red beard skirt.

The custom of these Hu people is that women must cover their faces with veils, and they can only see the white jade-like forehead, a pair of translucent eyes looking forward to life, and a head of flowing hair behind the red veil.

What's even worse is that the hands of this bearded girl are actually handchained with a pair of shackles, and a seven-foot-long chain is connected in the middle. She slung the chain over her shoulders and jingled as she walked, and the imagination of the spectators was innumerable.

"A rich man is good, he can buy such a Hu Nu, and he even walks with iron chains. If I have the money to buy one, I can handcuff it and enjoy it......"

"This boy is too arrogant, isn't he, he actually took a female slave with him to the assessment in the courtyard?" and some people shouted indignantly.

He has more than one Hunu. Another one wore a blue satin bearded skirt and was slightly shorter. Although there are no shackles on his body, he is no less slender than the red-dressed slave girl in shackles. She is also wearing a white veil and can't see her appearance.

"Rich people are good, and taking a few female slaves is stunning. Honestly you can let go, and if you don't honestly put a chain on it, it's a pity that you can't see your appearance. Isn't it too hot for them to cover their faces on this hot day?"

"Don't think about it, these bearded girls, you want her to take off her veil, just like you let the women of the Jing tribe strip in public. ”

Following Song Ruhai, there were two other men, both fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, one was slender and thin-looking, and the other was short and strong, and they were both Hu people.

They wore strange triangular cloth hats with low brims, and both of them had thick beards on their faces, and they were dressed in strange short clothes, with round necks and narrow sleeves, and the fabric was delicate, half glittering like brocade, and adorned with small beads.

Men don't see their hair, women don't see their faces, they all like to dress up in jewelry, which is exactly the custom of the Hu people in the third continent of the western part of the country.

Many years ago, the Green Food Kingdom sent envoys to the Jingli Dynasty to pay tribute. Although they are far away and do not have many intersections, Green Food is nominally a subject country of Jingli.

Song Ruhai slapped the jade fan in his hand, smiled at the same time, and strode up the steps until he reached the gate.

Several stewards at the gate raised their hands and stopped him. Another old formation master, dressed in the golden robes given by the emperor, had a look of disgust on his face.

In fact, this assessment was originally a four-state war specially arranged by the imperial court. In order to select the strongest formation division as the commander, it can reduce the internal friction of the four state formations and unify the power of the four state formations to fight against the demon army.

The Royal Array has been planning for this for a long time, and everything is ready. But no one expected that there would be a fifth formation team. And it was Song Ruhai who appeared, which made this veteran formation master extremely unhappy.

The imperial court needed military expenses from these wealthy people, and was quite polite to them. But he is a royal formation, so he doesn't have to know this. He glanced at Song Ruhai and said coldly:

"The assessment of the Royal Array is not child's play. Splendid Workshop is that no matter how much money there is, it is impossible to spend money to become a formation. If Young Master Song is here to watch the battle, please stand on the steps next to him and go up!"

Song Ruhai bowed his hand and said respectfully: "The master has misunderstood. In Xia Song Ruhai, he did not come to watch the battle, but came to participate in the assessment of the royal array as a formation master. ”
