Chapter 640 National Celebration

In fact, the first step of the so-called Caohai activity is to connect the two worlds.

When the small world is opened, the overlapping place of the two worlds will be disordered, sometimes causing landslides and cracks, but the double-world barrier of the Caohai has always been gentle. As long as the storm gate is controlled, most of the remaining abnormalities are just water flowing upwards.

Although he had heard Fu Shanyue talk about the principle, He Lingchuan was still shocked to see the opening of the small world with his own eyes.

Two worlds that have never been related to each other just briefly opened up to each other?

This small world is called "Fujie" by Lingxu City for a reason. Because he sat in the front row of the sandbar with a unique view, He Lingchuan was fortunate to see that there was another wonder in the center of the giant cyclone.

Outside, the wind was rolling and the clouds were gathering, lightning and thunder were flashing, but there was a huge hole in the center of the supercell. He Lingchuan only saw a bright blue and purple background. The other world in the hole seemed very dim, like the light of the human world after the sun sets and it is about to fall at night.

He even saw that there were stars in this world, but they were not very bright.

He Lingchuan asked Fu Shanyue: "Does the Fu Realm have a distinction between day and night?"

Fu Shanyue shook his head: "I have been there three times, for two days at least and ten days at most. There are only stars there, no sun, and this kind of light at all times, no darker or brighter."

So the Fu Realm has neither four seasons nor day and night.

He Lingchuan saw a few lightning flashes across that world again.

Hey, there are no clouds, where does the lightning come from?

At this time, after being reinforced by the two national masters, the entrance to the small world has stabilized.

The Heavenly Palace messenger rang the bell again and said loudly:

"The Fu Realm has been opened, and all teams lined up to enter, please pay attention to safety."

At that moment, one team after another came on stage, each team had ten people, and they all seemed to be practitioners or monsters with outstanding combat power.

The way to go to the Fu Realm is also simple and crude. They stood in the eye of the wind and were sucked up with a whoosh.

He Lingchuan counted and found that more than sixty teams had entered.

"Fan Yao country usually sends a team to participate." That's thirteen teams, and the rest are the teams formed by each family in Lingxu City. "Lingxu City does not limit the number of teams that enter, but only limits each family to one team in the first five days, and each team can only have ten people, so that the competition is fair."

Chi Yan country also sent a team to participate, and Fu Shanyue brought nearly a hundred guards to Lingxu City, including the participants of this Caohai operation.

The teams on the field entered the Storm Gate in an orderly manner, and the civilians here were also enthusiastic and devoted themselves to an activity that He Lingchuan was very familiar with:

Gambling.

Officials and nobles organized teams to cross borders, that is a one-person fun.

The folks opened the gambling, that is the joy of all.

There are more than sixty participating teams, enough to open various odds, buy more or less, buy singles or doubles, and even bet on various dazzling combinations.

It is said that the official did not encourage it at the beginning, believing that large-scale gambling would corrupt the atmosphere.

But soon an official proposed that they could open official gambling, collect taxes and silver while raising commissions, killing two birds with one stone.

The people had fun, Lingxu City made money, and everyone was happy. What else is there to say?

So this became a long-standing tradition that lasted for four or five hundred years. The official franchise has a wide variety of products, and every winner has to pay a super high tax of 5% when receiving the prize money.

Although people complain about the high tax every year, the Caohai scene has always been prosperous.

He Lingchuan asked someone casually, and this year's favorite to win the championship is Tongxinwei.

In each Caohai event, Lingxu City will reward the top five, based on the number of floating stones the team has taken back from the Fujie.

Recently, He Lingchuan has too many things on hand and has no time to take care of other things. It was not until before the start of the game that he learned that the seven floating islands in Lingxu Upper City can be suspended in the sky, relying on the floating stones hunted back from the Fujie.

The secret of the floating islands staying in the air is the floating stones, and the floating stones can charge the floating stones, just like a horse can run only after eating enough grass. If the replenishment is not timely, once the energy of the hanging stone is exhausted, the floating island will be...

Just by imagining it, it will be a catastrophe for Lingxu City.

Fortunately, such a terrifying scene has never appeared in the past five or six hundred years, because Lingxu City sends strong men into the Fu Realm every two years to hunt for pumice.

This strange stone is actually an otolith produced by a monster called "Danube Beast" and grows inside the skull.

Danube Beasts are the natives of the Fu Realm. There are many species with different powers, and the energy contained in the otoliths is also strong and weak. The pumice produced by a powerful Danube Beast may be dozens or even thousands of times that of its weaker counterparts.

Fu Shanyue mentioned that thirty years ago, the official team encircled and suppressed a giant Danube Beast in the Fu Realm, and the pumice collected was equivalent to six hundred ordinary pumice stones.

Every six hundred and eighty days, the Fu Realm and the human world will intersect and open for thirty days. Lingxu City should take the opportunity to hunt and store more pumice.

Of course, it uses procurement to recover the pumice in the hands of the team. In order to motivate everyone, it will also reward the top five players who hunt the most stones.

After all, whether the officials can continue to be superior to the common people depends on these teams.

The competition between the teams has formed the basic market for gambling.

From this point of view, the biennial Caohai event is of great significance. It not only meets the demand for floating stones in Lingxu Upper City, but also makes a lot of money through gambling. It not only meets the social needs of the aristocratic families, but also makes money here.

As for the common people, of course they have seen enough excitement.

It is a win-win situation for all three, and only the Danube Beast in Fujie is hurt.

Fu Shanyue of course bet on his team, and asked He Lingchuan: "Which one do you like?"

"I don't know." He didn't even know which teams and people were participating in the competition. Wasn't throwing money in vain?

In order for Operation Xushan to proceed smoothly, he also wanted to enter the Buddha Realm, but not now.

At such a moment of public attention, if he entered rashly, he might be killed.

"Look there, Tiangong has withdrawn."

Fu Shanyue looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw that the Tiangong envoys were leaving. Ambassador Duyun and Bai Ziqi were walking out surrounded by people, while the rest were setting out to camp. It seemed that only a few tents would be left in place.

"After the opening ceremony, they went back. This happens every time."

"This year is different." He Lingchuan saw Bai Ziqi's expression. At first glance, it was no different from usual, but his momentum became high-spirited.

He knew that the Baidu envoy had finally received a new clue and would be eager to give it a try.

He asked Fu Shanyue: "If you pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, do you think it is possible to get to the end of the old drug case?"

"Then it depends on what the gods think and what the emperor thinks." Fu Shanyue turned his head and whispered, "It's about the elixir. The gods will definitely want to get to the bottom of it and punish him severely. But in the end, if the target is Qingyang Imperial Master , the emperor might intercede on her behalf."

"You mean, the emperor might want to make peace with Xini?"

"Among the four Imperial Preceptors, Imperial Preceptor Qingyang has the deepest relationship with the two emperors, and he supports all the emperor's orders."

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh.

This is standard imperialism.

"What about Imperial Master Shuangye?"

Fu Shanyue stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

Shuangye Guoshi is from the god sect.

He Lingchuan nodded. No wonder the emperor didn't like Master Shuangye. He was not of the same mind.

Now Imperial Master Shuangye wants to deal with Imperial Master Qingyang, which is equivalent to removing the emperor's right-hand man, but the emperor has no way to stop him.

Because Imperial Master Qingyang might have really committed a crime.

"This matter is difficult. It involves not only Qingyang Imperial Master, but also many buyers." Fu Shanyue added, "If buying and selling is the same crime, then the royal court is bound to be in turmoil. The last case of the immortal medicine resulted in a river of blood. "If you lift them up and hit them lightly, or punish them with small punishments, it will undermine the majesty of the gods and emperors. How can you set an example and frighten the officials?"

He Lingchuan added in his heart:

Behind Qingyang Imperial Master, there must be other gods involved.

Otherwise, where did the formula and divine blood needed to make the elixir come from?

This is probably one of the key points that Tiangong wants to investigate.

Just like Mi Tian said, there is no harmony among the gods.

Therefore, the hardest part of this case is far from coming.

Fortunately, the case has progressed to this point, and subsequent developments have nothing to do with He Lingchuan. Even Fu Shanyue can't get involved. They just need to watch the show.

I just don’t know if he can stay until the end of the song.

At this moment, two monsters suddenly jumped out of the eye of the storm, and the onlookers on the sandbank screamed.

These two monsters are a bit like orangutans. They are very big, weighing at least 300 pounds by visual inspection. Their bodies are bent forward, their limbs are thick, but they have no hair. The long teeth on their lower jaws are protruding. Their bodies are purple-black, and their skin is as rough as rocks. Some parts of them are as rough as rocks. Even with stone ringworm.

When the monster first arrived in the world, he seemed a little confused. Warriors from the human world can pass by, and monsters from the Eternal Realm can certainly come by as well.

They turned around twice before roaring and running away.

There were already heavy guards around the Storm Gate, and they immediately stepped forward to intercept them.

"Is this the Danube?" He Lingchuan finally saw the monster from the Fu Realm.

"Yes, but the level is very low, and you can only contribute two small pumice stones at most." Fu Shanyue said lightly, "In fact, guards will be stationed on the other side of the Storm Gate soon, but if they judge that the monster is not a big threat to the world, They will probably be allowed to come over. This will temporarily increase the opening of the market, and the civilians will have something to watch, so that everyone will not get bored waiting here. "

To put it bluntly, the entertainment aspect of such a large-scale event is very important.

During the conversation, two monsters were slaughtered in a fancy way, and the audience burst into applause.

This is really a good start.

He Lingchuan's heart sank slightly when he saw it, not because he sympathized with the monster, but because the elite guards guarding the Storm Gate were decisive, powerful, and their cooperation was quite tacit.

He has been in Lingxu City for so long, and the most he has seen is the sensual dogs and horses, and he almost forgot how strong the foundation of Lingxu City is.

"These two monsters look a little strange." When they first came over, their movements were particularly agile and fierce, which was inconsistent with their appearance. Even the wild boar demon had to bow down in front of them, but the guards withstood their attack.

The two monsters were covered in blood, and after a quarter of an hour, they became slower and slower, and were soon poked into a sieve.
