Understanding Yang Liu's emotions did not prevent Jiang Wang from taking the opportunity to get closer to him. While he was drunk, they negotiated matters related to introducing Hai Jingping.
The next day, Jiang Wang, accompanied by Yang Liu, entered Hai Jingping's mansion and left after an hour.
After that, I visited Hai Jingping twice alone, and both times I purchased new storage boxes in advance.
Of course, his actions were concealed in the increasingly turbulent hustle and bustle of Wai Island, and were not noticed by too many people.
Because the annual sea festival on the offshore islands has begun.
The famous Tianya Terrace is located in the middle of the curved back of Crescent Moon Island, which is also the most protruding position of Crescent Moon Island and closest to the direction of the Mysterious Realm.
This is naturally the main venue for this sea festival, and it is also the highest point on Crescent Moon Island.
Crescent Moon Island, Crescent Moon Island, Wai Island... no matter how you call it, it is the undoubted core island of the offshore archipelago. Its status is almost that of the capital of a country.
Then Tianya Terrace is equivalent to where the Ancestral Temple is located.
The entire Tianya Platform is a huge stone platform with a radius of thousands of feet.
The side that remains on the island is a gentle slope, and the other side facing the sea is a cliff.
The overall shape is like a turbulent wave rushing here and suddenly solidifying. Like a huge frozen wave.
The sea once rushed towards Tianya Terrace, and the crowd gathered by the human monks also rushed towards the sea. The sea of people hit the sea and never flinched.
Some people also say that Tianya Terrace is like a hand held up high in reverse, and the arm is the cliff facing the sea vertically on Huai Island. It lifts up the extraordinary monks on the offshore islands and gives them strength and courage.
But no matter which way you say it, Tianya Terrace is an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of Hainan people, a place that represents honor and greatness.
Even if the murderous power of monk Yang Gu is terrifying, and even if the power of Qi is astonishing, the main location of the sea festival can only be placed at Tianya Terrace.
It is even said that only the sea festival held at Tianya Terrace is recognized as the real sea festival. It was thought that it could really comfort those heroic spirits who died in battle.
Although there are various activities taking place during the day, the real sea festival ceremony officially begins at night.
Jiang Wang found a spot with Yang Liu. After talking over drinks, they now have a good relationship and can be regarded as ordinary friends. As a true disciple of Diaohailou, it is easy to arrange a place for Jiang Wang on the Tianya Platform.
Of course, it can't be a good location.
Because today, all the famous forces in the entire offshore archipelago will send people to Tianya Terrace to participate in the ceremony. Of course, it is not mandatory. After all, if there is really something important, it cannot be delayed by a sea festival ceremony. But for many people, being able to climb Tianya Terrace on the fourth day of April is an honor in itself, so most of them will not miss it.
At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tianya Terrace is overcrowded.
The result of Jiang Wang deliberately keeping a low profile was that he could only blend in with the crowd and look at each other with a bunch of strangers from the small sect elders.
"This little brother looks unfamiliar. I wonder where he lives on this island?"
"Oh, I travel all over the world and never stop anywhere."
Jiang Wang was silently observing the situation on the Tianya stage while casually exchanging greetings with others.
At this time, the four Diaohailou elders who were responsible for the actual affairs of this sea festival ceremony had all appeared at Tianya Terrace. Headed by Hai Jingping, he led a group of elite disciples to entertain guests from all over the world, and Yang Liu was naturally among them.
However, the nominal host of the Sea Festival Hall, the first elder of Diaohai Tower, Chongguang Zhenren, has not yet appeared.
I think a big shot like this would only show up after everything is settled.
On the other hand, Jiang Wang also saw some friends and acquaintances.
For example, Li Fengyao, who represents Ice Phoenix Island, is sitting in the VIP position. Her beautiful face attracted countless eyes, but her lonely temperament made people dare not look too much at her.
Of course Li Longchuan was also there, and he would come over to say a few words to Li Fengyao from time to time.
But Xu Xiangqian was not seen.
Jiang Wang scanned the circle with his eyes and found Zhao Wuyan and Zishu in a relatively inferior place. As expected, Xu Xiangqian was also crowded next to them. And Yan Fu next to him was obviously forced to stay with him.
I wonder if Yang Liu who was welcoming the guests would cry on the spot if he happened to meet them... Although Xu Xiangqian didn't have any chance, he was still better than Yang Liu who was declared eliminated.
Zhao Wuyan was sitting in a slightly lower position, which is not to say that Longmen Academy, one of the four major academies in the world, was not as good as Shimen Li Family. But on the sea, the influence of Longmen Academy is very weak, and there is no branch on the island.
The offshore islands only have seats at sea, otherwise the person who presides over the sea festival ceremony should be the ceremonial officer of Qi State.
Jiang Wang actually knew all the news about several friends coming to Huai Island, but he had no contact with them.
Just like at this moment, he was just hiding in the crowd and not showing his whereabouts. He has his own plans and preparations, and has corresponding awareness, but he does not intend to drag more people into the water.
Another example is Chong Xuanxin, who also attended the ceremony on behalf of Neverwinter Island. Perhaps due to his own strength, the position he sat in was almost the same as Zhao Wuyan.
In addition, he also saw Tian Chang. As the person in charge of the Osawa Tian family in the offshore islands recently, he was sitting further forward than Li Fengyao. This was a reflection of the Tian family's maritime power.
It's getting late and the noise is getting thicker.
The importance of sea festival activities in offshore islands is similar to the Spring Festival celebrated by people on land.
Every household on Xianyue Island hung up lanterns today.
The original meaning of this custom was to illuminate the way for heroic spirits to return home, so that the souls of human monks trapped in the lost world could find their way.
Over the years, it has been passed down through word of mouth among the sea dwellers, and it has become a guide for the souls lost at sea to return home. The news about the Sea Clan and the Mysterious Realm was slightly covered up, but it was also more widespread.
Looking back from the Tianya Terrace at this time, I can see thousands of lights, tens of thousands of lights, shining brightly on Huai Island.
Make Crescent Moon Island really like the moon, shining on the blue sea.
Someone said, "The moon in the sky is in the night sky, the moon in the water is in the blue sea, and the moon in the world is in Huai Island."
Only then did Jiang Wang really feel it.
The so-called human moon is not a crescent-shaped island, but countless people living on this island and fighting for it. The lights lit by everyone come together to form a human moon.
This month can illuminate people's hearts, calm storms, drive away long nights, and comfort the souls of the dead.
It's almost time.
It seems like a person has fallen from the bright moon over there.
His large sleeves fluttered like a cage of clear light, and his whole figure looked like another light source besides the bright moon in the night sky.
Like stars falling into the world.
One step appears high in the sky, and the next step has landed on Tianya Terrace.
Even though there were disciples of Diaohailou preaching: "Master Chongguang has arrived!"
He is Elder Jinghai who ranks first in the Diaohai Tower, and is the core figure in the Diaohai Tower whose status is only lower than that of the owner.
But I saw this person standing in front of the big chair at the main seat, facing everyone, and also facing the vast sea beyond Tianya Terrace.
He is eight feet tall, with a tall and straight figure, and his face is always shrouded in light. It cannot be seen clearly, but it is undoubtedly very majestic.
Everyone on the Tianya stage stood up to show respect.
And he opened his hands, pressed them down, and sighed——
"The bright moon is still as bright as yesterday, and time has flown by. Unconsciously...it's April 4th again."
