On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
"Dragon" refers to the seven-constellation star of the Eastern Canglong among the twenty-eight constellations. At the beginning of the second month of each year, the "Dragon-horned Star" emerges from the eastern horizon, which is called "seeing a dragon in the field" or "dragon raising its head".
The appearance of Canglong Qisu corresponds to rainfall. The ancients believed that the dragon controlled rainfall, and rainfall determined agricultural harvests.
"The dragon raises its head" indicates the growth of yang energy, the increase of rain, and the vitality of all things.
Since ancient times, people have regarded the day when the dragon raises its head as a day to pray for good weather, ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and receive good fortune.
And this day was the day of decisive battle agreed by Ximen Chuixue and Zhao Mingyuan.
In fact, the fight between Ximen Chuixue and Zhao Mingyuan has been circulating in the world for three years.
This was of course what was leaked during the Eagle's Nest Project.
However, the two people only wanted to have a fight at that time, but did not agree on a time or place.
Now, as the three-year period is approaching, the time and place for the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Zhao Mingyuan have been decided.
Next, just like the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, news of the decisive battle between the two also spread throughout the world.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head. Purple Mountain, sword peak.
Although there are only twelve short words, it also conveys all the information about the decisive battle between the two.
The time is naturally the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head.
The location is naturally the top of Purple Mountain, and the Sword Dian Duel is a sword duel between the two, and the result will naturally be the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
The reason why Zhao Mingyuan set the duel location as Purple Mountain was actually after many considerations.
There was a conspiracy behind the battle at the top of the Forbidden City. If it were to be held there again, the inner guards would risk their lives to stop it.
Moreover, if you stay there, you might be tempted to pick off someone else's wisdom. People will only say that Zhao Mingyuan is the second to Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City.
Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng initially set the location for the decisive battle at the top of Purple Mountain, which was later changed to the top of the Forbidden City. In this case, Zhao Mingyuan decided that the location of the decisive battle would be Purple Mountain.
The story of Ximen Chuixue begins at Purple Mountain and will end at Purple Mountain. This is also a good result.
Let the top of Purple Mountain witness the end of the legend of the sword god Ximen Chuixue.
It will also witness the rise of a new generation of legends.
Today is the first day of February, and the drizzle brings the breath of spring.
Zhao Mingyuan came to the capital at this time.
It has been six years since the battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
It has been more than six years since Zhao Mingyuan came to Lu Xiaofeng's world.
In these six years, he has experienced a lot, gained a lot, and met a lot of people.
Nowadays, there are naturally many people in the capital who want to see him.
Yes, just like the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, the scene from the past has reappeared. Many casinos have set up gambling games to bet on the outcome of the two.
This is unavoidable.
Zhao Mingyuan entered the city openly and openly, and openly stayed at the best inn in the capital, the Yuelai Inn where he had stayed a few years ago. Naturally, his whereabouts were known to the world.
Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan had already thought of this, so he transferred several experts from Wuming Island in advance. This blocked the inquiries from all parties.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan is already the young island master, so he still has some rights.
What's more, these experts didn't suffer any loss. When they arrived in the capital, they all placed heavy bets on Zhao Mingyuan to win.
After all, they had already seen the duel between Zhao Mingyuan and Gong Jiu, and they were full of confidence in him and never believed that Zhao Mingyuan would lose.
So, even if it takes a few days of hard work to make the trip. But compared to the harvest, it is still worth it. Everyone is full of energy.
The news of Zhao Mingyuan's blatant entry into the city soon spread throughout the capital.
In contrast, there has been no news of Ximen Chuixue's arrival until now.
You know, tomorrow is the duel between the two of them. Obviously, Ximen Chuixue did not come, but entered the city quietly incognito.
This comparison shows that Zhao Mingyuan is obviously more confident.
Suddenly, Zhao Mingyuan's winning rate in major gambling houses soared, and people who wanted to buy Zhao Mingyuan's victory flocked to him.
Before, although Zhao Mingyuan was also famous, he was still far inferior to Ximen Chuixue.
What's more, when Ximen Chuixue fought against Ye Gucheng at the top of the Forbidden City, Ximen Chuixue won a great victory. This has brought him many fans and also made many people win money.
Therefore, many people hope to make money by betting on Ximen Chuixue again.
Until now, those who are optimistic about Zhao Mingyuan's victory have the upper hand.
Four masters guarded the door, and no one was allowed to enter.
Although he blocked those random people, there were some people that Zhao Mingyuan naturally wanted to see.
For example, Mu Taoren, Gongsun Lan, and of course Lu Xiaofeng.
Mu Taoist and Gongsun Lan naturally sided with Zhao Mingyuan and hoped that he could win.
Lu Xiaofeng, on the other hand, is closer to Ximen Chuixue, not to mention that she had an unpleasant quarrel with Zhao Mingyuan before.
However, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to cancel the battle between the two of them, just like six years ago, Lu Xiaofeng hoped to prevent the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.
However, just as Lu Xiaofeng was unable to stop the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng, this time he was destined to be in vain.
Of course, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't stop this battle.
Zhao Mingyuan looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "You should know that your efforts this time are destined to be in vain, so why bother making this trip? Can't you see what happened back then? Some things simply cannot be stopped."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know that you are not a pure swordsman."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Yes, I am not."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "If that's the case, then why are you competing with Ximen Chuixue? Do you like the title of No. 1 in the world?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "You know, I don't care about this."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Speaking of which, in fact, during the Battle of the Forbidden City, I wanted to fight with both of them. However, I was not yet accomplished in swordsmanship at that time. If I did it rashly, I would not only lose, but I would also make people laugh. Now, I will become a master of swordsmanship. And Ximen Chuixue must have improved to a higher level. It’s just the right time to get to know him for a while.”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "So, you think you will win this time."
Zhao Mingyuan looked at Lu Xiaofeng and replied decisively: "Of course. I will win!"
The strong self-confidence impacted Lu Xiaofeng's body and mind, and the impact on Lu Xiaofeng was stronger than that of Ye Gucheng, the then Lord of Baiyun City.
Because he knew that Zhao Mingyuan was not a sword fanatic. He is so confident. Naturally, he has already weighed the situation and determined that he will never lose.
In Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, Zhao Mingyuan is a person who values reality and does not care about face.
If he feels that there is little chance of winning this competition, I am afraid that he will find excuses to postpone the competition, or even escape anonymously.
Since he came with confidence, it means that Zhao Mingyuan's strength has grown rapidly in the past three years and he is confident that he can win.
Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank, as if she had seen Ximen Chuixue fall into the soil at the top of Zijin Mountain.
