Hushan is about twenty miles away from Shangjing City, which is not too far. It takes about an hour to get there by horse.
Hushan is located in the Mingnan Mountains, with lush vegetation. People live at the foot of the mountain and there is a lake below, so the lake is named Hushan. The lake and the mountain follow each other, and the mountains and rivers form two parts, forming one side.
In the lake, there was once a pavilion, standing in the center of the lake. People around it said that this place was once a gambling house, which was built by a prince many years ago to make money and have fun. Those who can climb the stairs are without exception wealthy gentry.
Later, during the Tianshun period of Dajing, war broke out, and the building was closed. King Houxiang came to take charge of Dajing. When he learned that this place had been a gambling house, he ordered it to be closed down, and it has been there until now.
Looking at it now, I can see that the tower is in dilapidated condition. It has lost its vitality for a long time, and it has quickly become dilapidated. Even the iron pillars under the tower are a little unstable.
And this building is the location of this Immortal Conferment Conference.
Whoever reaches the top of the tower first wins, or whoever falls into the water first loses.
The rules are such rules.
It seemed to have been decided in a haphazard manner, but in fact the official in charge of the matter had also set many rules at the beginning, but what happened during the issuance of the tokens made the official change his mind.
Rather than being disciplined, it's better to do it casually.
This morning, everyone got up before dawn.
Among them, Ruyi is the most diligent. She gets up early and knocks on doors one by one to call people, as if she is afraid of not catching up with the excitement.
"Get up, get up!"
Chen Changsheng, Mo Yuan and Ping An were all shouted out, and the civet flower was not spared either. It fell asleep for a while with its eyes enchanted.
After getting up early, everyone didn't eat at home. Instead, they ate two steamed buns on the street and went to Hushan.
There were many carriages coming and going along the way.
Taking a carriage is naturally much faster, but the problem is that we are not prepared, and we still have time to find someone at this time.
Moreover, there are many people walking along this road.
For people of this era, more than twenty miles is not far at all?
Most people don't think this is a troublesome thing, but it is very common.
This is the simple side of this era. Just for a little excitement, you are willing to walk more than 20 miles. It is also because of this simplicity that the so-called 'travel' is created.
No matter how fast the carriages and horses are, they can't go that fast; no matter how slow they walk, they can catch up with the time and eventually meet each other.
The closer we got to the lake and the mountain, the more people there were. We also saw a lot of vendors carrying things on the road, some carrying candied haws skewers, and children laughing and joking along, all in groups, so lively.
"Oh oh oh..."
The sound of cockcrows sounded in the villages under the lake and mountains.
When we arrived at Hushan, it was just when the sky was bright, just in time.
"There are so many people." Ruyi's eyes lit up.
Mo Yuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but murmured: "It's so lively..."
This kind of excitement is rare.
Ruyi became interested, quickened her pace and said, "Let's go, let's go, I don't know what fun is there."
Ping An walked behind and said with a helpless smile: "Sister, please slow down."
Li Hua was sleepy and was being held by Mo Yu.
They had only known each other not long ago, but they got to know each other quite quickly.
"Let's go too." Chen Changsheng said.
Mo Yuan said: "Sir seems to like this kind of excitement."
Chen Changsheng just replied: "Who doesn't like the excitement?"
This is something that makes no sense.
Mo Yuan was stunned after hearing this.
This answer seems more like Mr.
Sometimes it sounds like nonsense, but in fact it seems to be the right answer, making people feel vague and clear.
Vendors from various places set up stalls by the lake and hawked.
There were people selling rouge, selling handicrafts, and people dancing with swords, guns, and acting, almost surrounding the lake.
This kind of battle is somewhat similar to a temple fair, but it's even more lively and crowded.
"Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick..."
"Take a look, take a look, if you are rich, take one..."
The cries of hawkers kept coming and going, and looking at people's smiling faces amidst the noise, even though it had nothing to do with you, it still made you feel at ease.
"Boom!!!"
A bell suddenly rang.
Then a loud voice was heard passing through the noise and falling into everyone's ears.
"Chen hour has arrived!!"
Some of the vendors and crowds on both sides couldn't help but admire it.
"Nice voice."
But there were also many people in the world who quickly heard it.
After hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but said: "What a profound skill."
Ping An paused and asked, "Can sister do it?"
Ruyi glanced at him, raised her head and said, "It's not difficult."
She asked again: "When is the Immortal Conferment Conference scheduled?"
Ping An said: "It is said that the auspicious time calculated by Si Ming by observing the stars is the most auspicious time. It is said that Siming has not calculated the auspicious time for many years."
"Is this Si Ming very powerful?" Ruyi asked.
Ping An shook his head and said: "It's not great, but His Majesty rarely believes in these things. Most of the time, this commander is not needed. It is always when His Majesty says it is."
"Then why do you still keep this commander?"
"Because it is like this." Ping An said: "In Jingshi, there was also the Qin Tianjian. Later, Taizu Xiang demolished the Qin Tianjian and only established the post of commander, which continues to this day. However, there were rules in ancient times, so you don't need to care about small things. The weather is right, but if it is a major event such as ancestor worship, everything must be done according to the rules."
"I see……"
Ruyi understood and immediately asked: "Is that Si Ming really capable, or..."
Ping An smiled and said, "Of course he has real abilities, but he's not as capable as Uncle Chen."
"What's that skill?"
"Observing celestial phenomena and measuring auspiciousness, these actually have rules, and not just anyone can do it."
"Yeah?"
Ruyi doesn't know much about it.
Mostly it's some mysterious stuff.
The two came to the lake and Ruyi looked at the pavilion in the center of the lake.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did the time pass?"
It seems that there is no boat on the lake.
Ping An asked: "I heard that many Jianghu people also participated in the Immortal Conferment Conference. My martial arts skills are extraordinary. If I let my sister tell me, how should I get through?"
Ruyi said: "It's not difficult to walk on water and go upstairs."
Not that she was bragging, it was indeed not difficult for her.
It is not difficult to get Gang Qi stuck on the feet and walk away through the water, but it requires relatively high inner breath.
Mo Yuan, who was among the crowd not far away, was watching the people coming and going around.
There were a lot of them all at once.
Demonic energy, Yin energy, and the auras of some practitioners were mixed together, and many of them were just waiting and watching.
Seeing this situation, Mo Yuan couldn't help but said to his husband: "Sir, I'm afraid there will be something good to watch today."
