Sword Origin Day is an important commemoration day in the world of sword cultivation, and its significance is no less than that of the New Year.

According to legend, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Dao Xian Zu and Jian Xian Zun swung their swords to cut through the wilderness on this day and created this wonderful world.

Every year at this time, people who cultivate the world usually listen to operas and enjoy music to celebrate this festival, and important people such as the master of the world are no exception, but the celebration of the latter is more formal.

Generally speaking, in the early morning of the day when the sword comes into being, the world lord needs to take a bath and purify his body first, and bring the ministers of the court and the central government to worship the double altar together.Before noon, Jiezhu's family arrived at the Sword Palace outside the city, where they met with representatives of the world-cultivating family, held a celebration with them, and shared lunch.In the evening, the world lord will bring these representatives back to the main palace together, and then worship the double altar.

There is also a reason for the celebration to be held in the palace.According to the legend, it was the place where the two gods stood after breaking through the prehistoric world, so the meaning is of great importance.

The current situation is that Mr. Yu's band was invited by members of the top ten families to perform at the palace celebration.It is natural for him to feel excited and flustered.

However, as mentioned before, Yu Bibai was not only excited and flustered, he was panicked, fearful, and even felt that a catastrophe was imminent.

"Why are you so flustered?" Mo Fang asked.

"Have you heard the rumor about the tax increase?" Yu Bibai asked.

"I've heard a little bit about it." He Chengqi said.

"Although I don't communicate with those people very much, because of my birth, I still know some people related to the old family. Since the Empress ascended the throne, she has implemented various policies that are conducive to the disadvantages of the old family. After the disaster of resentment, she let the wind go Increase the land tax. Therefore, the hatred of the old forces and the sects that inherit the law of benevolence and swords against her has reached its peak. Those forces are working together. I don't know what they are discussing, but I can always smell the faint Dangerous smell." Yu Bibai said.

"That's how it is." Mo Fang said.

"Resentment turned into chaos, causing heavy losses to Pei and Yu. The ancestor was rescued, and now he is in the palace, receiving the best care arranged by the world lord. Whether it is in reason or in the eyes of the world, the world lord They are all benevolent to our two families. The Yu family is also one of the old families, and the Pei Mansion is at the top of the top ten families. Our situation can be said to be embarrassing." Yu Bibai said, "And you should also listen to As I said, the palace where the Lord of the World holds the celebration is actually the territory shared by the ten old families. On weekdays, those who look after, take care of, and send guards to guard the palace are also members of the ten families. Therefore, as the head of the old family It's hard for me."

Although Yu Bibai is a lazy person, he is definitely not a stupid person in various aspects.

Now that the two of them heard what he said, they felt that the child had a keen sense of smell.

As Yu Bibai said, the Xinggong is managed by ten old families.If Yu Bibai accepted the invitation, and the old family took the opportunity to plot something, then both the Yu family and the Pei family would be inseparable.And if Yu Bibai does not accept the invitation, in the eyes of others, he neither respects the world master nor the other old families, which is tantamount to offending both factions.

The ten great aristocratic families sent such an invitation to Yu Yinfang, someone must want to drag Yu Bibai into this matter.

"Ahhh, so it's better if I didn't build this band?" Yu Bi said, and started to scratch her hair again, showing a frantic state.

"No, you don't regret it at all now, and you are determined to continue this business." Mo Fang said.

"I really regret it!" Yu Bibai said.

"If you really regret it, this is not 'please lend a helping hand again'." He Chengqi smiled and shook the note.

"Admit it, you just want to get through the difficulties and go to the top." Mo Fang patted Yu Bibai on the shoulder.

"Okay, I admit it." Finally, Yu Bibai sighed.

When they left the music workshop, He Chengqi and the two calculated the time.

"We agreed with Jiezhu at that time that we would deliver the goods in 27 days. Now, only nine days have passed, and most of the work has been completed." He Chengqi pondered, "The original intention of Jiezhu was that it would be within one month—that is, 30 days. Within days, you can get the goods."

"Well, from the time when the World Lord invited us to have a meal, to the day of the origin of the sword, it happened to be the 45th day." Mo Man nodded.

"So the World Lord left fifteen days free."

For all aspects, such a long preparation time is enough.

……

The so-called sword palace is in the famous sword mountain thirty miles northwest of the main city.

The famous sword mountain is a well-known scenic spot in Xiujie. Its highest mountain is cold and straight, straight to the sky, like a sword that opens the sky.And the golden red roof of the palace, hidden in the green forest sea, looks like a slanted sword when viewed from above.

From the foot of the mountain to the lower half of the peak, there are all kinds of rare trees and flowers.The towering treetops also have a net woven by sword energy.The significance of the existence of this net is to keep the famous birds all over the world in captivity in the forest, so that the royal family and dignitaries can enjoy them to their heart's content when they travel here.

Since the empress took office, the outer area of ​​the palace has been opened to the outside world.On weekdays, ordinary people can also come here for sightseeing.However, the only ones who can enter on the day of Sword Origin Day are the Lord of the Realms, the relevant people of the old noble families of the Cultivation World, etc., and the musicians, dancers, singers, actors, and actors who are invited to perform.

Those who cultivate the realm of art are all proud of accepting this invitation.The dancers under Yu Bibai's command are no exception.

On the day of the origin of the sword, they set off from the main city in a simple bullock cart and headed all the way to the palace.On the way, they kept looking at the high destination and chatting with each other.

It was late spring at this time.The fields and mountains are full of light-colored sword string flowers. On the flowers, sword butterflies and sword bees are dotted sporadically.The jasmine knife tea, which is a specialty of Xiujie, has also matured.The wind blows past, bringing the naturally mixed sweetness into the mouths of passers-by.

In such a beautiful atmosphere, Mr. Yu, who was riding a bull at the front of the team, had a tense face and nervous eyes.

"Today's performance put a lot of pressure on Master." A group of young men and women in the back discussed, "He looks so nervous."

"Master is often very nervous. Master seems to be made nervous."

"Hey! What are you talking nonsense about?" Yu Bibai turned around after hearing the words, and scolded.When he looked at the left and right protectors of the singing and dancing group, he suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

Just like the first performance, those two "girls" are naturally not real girls.Their real identities are naturally not from the band.

They are He Chengqi and Mo Fang who have been smeared with scallions and changed their appearance and breath.

And the two of them followed in this way was a response to Yu Bibai's last request for help.

Soon after, the bullock cart approached the mountainside with a flicker.They looked to the north, but they saw the royal and dignitary teams slowly approaching.

At the forefront of the team is the World Lord himself.She was dressed in a black armor inlaid with gold, and she was riding a tall and shiny brown horse, carrying the giant que on her back, holding her head high and her chest high, which can be described as heroic.

The three white horses behind her are the male empress and two emperor concubines.

The Jiezhu family only brought about twenty guards.This is because of the rules in the celebration of world cultivation since ancient times, and secondly, it is also because there is not room for too many people in the palace.

After the world master queue, there is a mighty old family convoy.Those dignitaries, etc., seem to be more delicate and fragile than the royal people.They rode in a sapphire blue and gold carriage.And their guards, each armed with weapons, walked.

This kind of arrangement where the ruler rides a horse and the subject rides a chariot may be considered impolite in other worlds.But Sword Cultivator is different.

The world of swordsmanship is respected by swordsmen.Riding a horse with a sword in hand, showing heroism, is more noble than riding a sedan chair.

In the absence of war, if the rulers and ministers of this world travel together, the king and his family must go ahead on horseback, while the ministers often ride in chariots.For courtiers, it is a sign of humility and loyalty.

And other people, if they want to ride in front of the king, they have to choose a mount that looks more bloated and inferior than a horse.This is the reason why Mr. Yu rode a bull today.

After the team of monarchs and ministers was blocked by the palace buildings, everyone in Yuyinfang also entered the mountain.

At the mountain pass, Mr. Yu dismounted the yellow ox he was riding, and handed the token of the invited performance to the guards guarding there.After inspection and approval, he turned to the rear and beckoned for the coachman to pull in a group of song and dancers.

Unlike the royal family and dignitaries, the path that the performers walk is a side door.Among them, the mountain road is rougher and more difficult to walk than the avenue at the main entrance.

But because of this, the road they walked and the scenery on the road are more natural.

Sunlight poured down in golden wisps from between the leaves.The smell of the trees, the moisture of the moss, hits the face.

Sure enough, there are many birds here, big and small, fat and cute, and majestic.Most of them are on the ground, seeing the ox cart approaching, they neither dodge nor fly.

Looking carefully, most of the larger raptors had their shoulders destroyed.And birds with a more docile temperament, although they can fly, are not good at flying and do not want to fly.why?Looking up, the invisible sword air network densely covered on the tree crown is the answer.

No bird can pass through the air of the sword net.The birds, big and small, who were still able to fly probably gave up after repeated attempts and failed attempts.If you give up, you will slowly forget how to fly.

This atmosphere, coupled with Mr. Yu's nervousness, also affected the young dancers at this time.They listened to the sound of the wind and the rustling of the leaves, felt the desolation in the beauty, and stopped talking.

"Do you want some candy?" After a long time, the "girl" on the right guardian took out a small delicate candy bag.She pulled it away, exposing the warm and moist colored animal-shaped snacks.

"It's so cute!" A group of boys and girls leaned over.

The group of singers and dancers knew that the right protector was actually Mr. He and He Chengqi who had been smeared with scallions, and the real body of the "left protector" sitting next to him was Mo Fang.

Before, the left and right protectors were sick again, so they thought that these two people were still the same as last time, temporary replacements for the sick left and right protectors.

"It's delicious, it tastes like fruit! It also tastes like ice!"

"Eat more if it tastes good, I still have a lot."

He Chengqi was sure that the group of children had eaten the candy, so he put away the small candy bag.
