After speaking, Gu Qingshan looked at Jiang Fan: "Master Jiang, you are not acting as the regent this time, but as the leader of the Jianghu sect Xiaoyaohui. You should show more respect to our Jianghu Holy Land. You see, you have just arrived. I just have a misunderstanding with Fairy Yunxiao, why not show some sincerity to resolve the conflict?"
Jiang Fan laughed and said, "That's right, that's right." He groped around in his arms for a while, even reached in and rubbed it, and finally took out a gray pill.
"This is an elixir refined by Xu Fu, the alchemist. It has the effect of whitening, turning black, and tightening the skin. It looks like it can rejuvenate one's youth. It's a good thing. Those who are old must use it. It can be considered as an apology. how?"
After saying that, he stuffed it into Gu Qingshan's hand with a sincere look on his face.
Everyone present was secretly amused and slandered. This man was really terrible. He couldn't hear a single curse word, but every word he spoke touched people's hearts. People say that Jiang Xiaoyao was an immortal when he was banished, and he was always good at talking about it. Why is it that when they meet him now, he is talking about dirty things?
What makes people especially speechless is, why are you rubbing it in your arms? What about rubbing mud?
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, wasn't he deliberately looking for trouble?
Sure enough, Yun Xiao was extremely angry: "Senior brother, get out of the way, I will kill this rude madman with my sword today!"
After saying that, he turned his finger into a sword, and a sword beam passed over Gu Qingshan and stabbed Jiang Fan.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingshan suddenly flicked his finger, and the sword was shattered again.
Gu Qingshan frowned slightly and turned to look at her: "In this grand ceremony, senior brother, as a member of the world, is fully responsible for the reception of heroes from all walks of life. Junior sister resorted to violence without permission, which is a bit overstepped."
Gu Qingshan didn't seem angry, and his expression remained normal with a smile. But for some reason, his glance back seemed to make Yunxiao quite afraid, and he took a step back unconsciously.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Gu Qingshan... was indeed not as simple as people saw.
With just one glance, Yun Xiao stopped talking, and the sword energy gradually dissipated from his body.
Gu Qingshan then said with a smile: "Xiaoyao Huijiang will come to the grand ceremony with great kindness. Gu expresses his welcome on behalf of Taihua."
Jiang Fan also cupped his hands and said, "Jiang came here to congratulate me. I was in a hurry and lacked preparations. I only have a small gift to give. I hope you will accept it."
As he spoke, he took a wooden box from Yuan Hongzhuang behind him and placed it in Gu Qingshan's hand.
Gu Qingshan didn't open it and looked at it: "Young Master Jiang is one of the richest people in the world, so his writing must be extraordinary. Thank you. The ceremony just opened at noon. Please take a seat and rest. Refreshments will be served."
Jiang Fan looked at him, said no more, and left with a Taihua disciple who looked not very good-looking.
The seats in the stands are arranged in a ring around the central high platform, gradually rising backwards. The layout is quite similar to the football stadiums of that era. It's still the largest one.
There were countless Taihua disciples interspersed among them, each of them busy. But no matter who they were, they all showed great respect for them, which fully demonstrated the lofty status of the disciples of the Holy Land.
Jiang Fan's seat can only be said to be okay, because he is not the regent, but the leader of Xiaoyaohui. He is not ranked high in the queue, but he can still see all the scenes on the central high platform clearly. Jiang Fan was not picky about this, he was just here to observe, and that was enough.
But the stands and high platforms were obviously temporary structures. Jiang Fan remembered that this place used to be just a big square and nothing else existed.
The high platform in the middle must be used to host the ceremony, but looking at the black iron rock structure, Jiang Fan was a little doubtful whether the martial arts competition would also be held in this place.
After sitting down, he looked around the venue. There were about hundreds of thousands of people sitting around. They were very neat and orderly, and no one was making any noise. The Taihua-only area is due south, and there are still many empty seats at the front. Apparently the big guys from the Holy Land haven't come yet.
In addition to Taihua's more than 30,000 outstanding disciples, the rest are 100,000 big men and celebrities in the world, and 9,000 young talents waiting to be selected. Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh, Taihua's call in the world Strength cannot be covered.
Jiang Fan saw the flags of countless sects. Almost all the flags he had an impression of in his mind could be seen here, and there were not a few who were completely unaware of them.
To his surprise, he even saw the familiar flags of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, the Green Wolf Gang, the Grass Cutting Gang, the Thousand Machine Sect, etc. However, due to the quota limit, the number of people was not large. Especially although the Qinglang Gang had a flag, only two people were qualified to participate. In addition to Xue Qinglang, the other was an old man.
When he was sizing up others, there were naturally countless people sizing up the popular Xiaoyao King. There are many different eyes, including those who hate, those who are curious, those who are confused, and those who appreciate and admire.
Jiang Fan also ignored it. After observing for a while, he opened the booklet in his hand. This was a copy of the grand ceremony regulations that the Taihua disciples just left behind.
I was surprised that the ceremony was actually held over three days, and today didn’t count, it was just the opening day. Only Jianghu Sacrifice and Taihua's thousand-year history promote these, followed by the Jianghu Banquet in the evening, also known as the Jianghu Feast. The arrangements for the next three days are the real deal.
On the first day, they worshiped the holy land, then changed the list of rivers and lakes, and then announced the major events of the ten years, awarded meritorious services, and judged the treacherous.
The pilgrimage will be held at Wanjianfeng, the symbol of Taihua. It's the mountain peak where Changmei is located. The reason why it is named Wanjian Peak, which means Wanjian returning to the clan, also shows Taihua's courage. It is said that the memorial tablets of Taihua's founder, Jin Emperor, and ancestors of all dynasties are enshrined there, as well as 10,000 famous swords collected by Taihua throughout the ages.
However, due to the large number of people, it is impossible for everyone to climb Wanjian Peak. Only three thousand people randomly selected have this opportunity, and the others can only worship at Jianping.
The next day, the Holy Land disciples were selected. Due to the large number of people and the tight time limit, the competition will be held in thirty venues across the entire Taihua area. In the end, the best three thousand will be competed to become outer disciples. Among them, the best performers will most likely be recruited by the Taihua disciples. If you take a fancy to him, he will be accepted directly as an inner disciple or as a personal follower.
On the third day, everyone is most concerned about the selection of the new Sword Immortal. The same will be held here. At that time, the three major candidates will compete according to the method set by Taihua. It is divided into three major categories: competition, discussion, and challenge. As expected, the main theme is to judge respect by force. The only variable may come from the Tao Discussion project, which requires the three major candidates to discuss their own martial arts concepts and how to travel in the world. In the end, the twelve elders of Taihua and the nine major worshipers will be elected by votes. What is interesting is that Taihua Shengzun has arbitrary power. That is to say, even if the person is elected by vote, he may not become the final swordsman. The decision-making power still lies in the hands of the Supreme Lord.
After reading it, Jiang Fan had some questions in his mind: "Did the Great Elder Jiazi not choose to quit in the end?"
The fisherman said: "If the Great Elder participates, Jiang Shenzhou and Gao Jian will have almost no chance of winning, so this competition will be meaningless."
"But this is strange. I heard that the Great Elder has never had the intention to become one of the Three Immortals. Why should he participate..."
