Three days of time, in an instant then had arrived at the day of Demon Emperor paying tribute grand ceremony in a flash. 三天时间一晃即过,转眼间便到了魔皇朝贡大典的日子。 Liu Ming has changed a brand-new Qing Family Patriarch clothing, in warning Qing Yu and the others do not go out to stir up trouble, feels at ease after Zhen Eighth Garden waits, then arrived at the central Imperial City third city , before is Demon Imperial Palace. 柳鸣换上了一件崭新的青家家主服饰,在告诫了青羽等人不要外出惹事,安心在臻辛园等待后,便独自一人来到了中央皇城的第三城区,也就是魔皇宫前。 Today is paying tribute grand ceremony, therefore Demon Imperial Palace city gate opens greatly, but wants to enter, naturally must undergo severer questioning. 今日是朝贡大典,故而魔皇宫的城门大开,不过想要进入,自然也要经过一番更为严苛的盘查。 ...... …… The entire central Imperial City sky was covered by the gorgeous multi-colored sunlight, in Demon Imperial Palace the construction is shines rays of light bright with many colors, the flowers and plants trees in Imperial Palace under the function of magic spell, blooms the brilliant purple and red color. 整个中央皇城的天空之被绚丽的霞光笼罩,魔皇宫之中建筑更是亮起五光十色的光芒,皇宫中的花草树木更是在法术的作用下,绽放出姹紫嫣红之色。 Some giant square of grand ceremony in Demon Imperial Palace above is held, the square has dozens li (0.5km) fully, the ground paves by shiny black crystal stone, the smooth several glassy surfaces, can produce an inverted image clearly the person's shadow. 大典在魔皇宫中某个巨大广场之上举行,广场足有数十里大小,地面以一种黑亮的晶石铺就,光滑几如镜面,能够清晰倒映出人影。 Around this moment square already arranges, the front line is more than a ten zhang (3.33 m) high stage, above supposed a long table, has chocked up the assorted offering, but in this moment stage nobody left. 此刻广场周围已经布置完毕,最前方是一座十余丈高的高台,上面设下了一个长案,摆满了各色供品,不过此刻高台上还是空无一人。 Above square, then has placed rows of spacious big chairs, the small table of side equipment, above has also placed various treasure fruits as well as the scented tea, the demon person of many retinue appearance shuttled back and forth in the intercourse in this period, often the thing in tray in the hand puts above the small table. 广场之上,则摆放了一排排宽敞的大椅,旁边还有一个配备的小桌,上面摆放了各种珍果以及香茗,不少仆从模样的魔人在期间往来穿梭,不时将手中托盘中的事物置于小桌之上。 Liu Ming was going to above the square along with bustling stream of people at this moment, at the same time interestings toward does not live to size up in all directions. 柳鸣此刻正随着熙熙攘攘的人流来到了广场之上,同时饶有兴趣的朝着四处不住打量。 In the entire square, already gathered many Aristocratic Family Patriarch also or on behalf of Elder that Patriarch comes, glances at to have several thousand people of appearances thickly fully. 整座广场之中,早已聚集了不少世家家主亦或是代表家主而来的长老,粗粗看去足有数千人的样子。 Patriarch on the scene and Elder basically is Heaven Imitation Realm cultivation base, but sits in more than ten people of front line, aura mostly deep reserved, has achieved Profound Opening Realm impressively. 在场的家主们及长老基本都是天象境修为,不过坐在最前方的十余人,气息大都深沉内敛,赫然达到了通玄境界。 Liu Ming sucks the tongue secretly, perhaps Midheaven Continent Heaven Imitation, Profound Opening cultivator are not less than Ten Thousand Demon Continent, but wants all assembled such many population, was actually basically the impossible matter. 柳鸣暗暗咂舌,或许中天大陆的天象,通玄的修士并不比万魔大陆少,但是想要聚齐如此之多的人数,却是基本不可能之事了。 That time resists the Bore Insect Queen invasion, the Midheaven Continent united front. Perhaps cannot all assembled to these many top step cultivator. 那次抵抗螟虫之母入侵,中天大陆联合阵线。恐怕也没能聚齐到这么多的顶阶修士。 This moment grand ceremony has not started, Aristocratic Family Patriarch and Elder square above three two in groups, or encircled the each and every one circle, or talked in whispers. Perhaps chatted loud, the atmosphere was quite auspicious. 此刻大典尚未开始,广场之上的世家家主及长老们三俩成群,亦或是围成了一个个圈子,或是窃窃私语。或是高声谈笑,气氛颇为祥和。 Most approaches the front of stage in the square, can see three crowds obviously, Gaohe Aristocratic Family, Long Clan. Kongxiang Aristocratic Family three Patriarch, nearby each and every one Aristocratic Family Patriarch and Elder, just like stars surrounding the moon regarding three people. 在广场最靠近高台的前方,明显能够看到三个人群,其中正是高赫世家,龙家。孔翔世家的三位家主,旁边的一个个世家家主及长老,正如众星拱月般围绕着三人。 Has encircled in some surrounding many Aristocratic Family Patriarch, as if wanted to speak a few words with the hosts of three big wealthy and powerful family. 在外围更有许多世家家主围了过去,似乎想要和三大豪族之主说上一句话。 Liu Ming shakes the head smiles, he naturally does not have the interest to collect this liveliness, in the nearness following place, looked for a common position to sit, static waited for the offering sacrifice to heaven big ritual to start. 柳鸣摇头一笑,他自然没有兴趣去凑这个热闹,在靠近后面的地方,找了一个不起眼的位置坐了下来,静静的等候着祭天大礼开始。 The person in square are getting more and more, makes noise more and more. 广场上的人越来越多,也越来越喧闹。 Probably an hour later, resounds with three melodious dings. The central dynasty hundred years of paying tribute grand ceremony once finally started! 大约半个时辰后,随着三声悠扬的钟声响起。中央王朝百年一度的朝贡大典终于开始了！ Above the square the sound has subsided quickly, teams of wear the insignia personnel of long gown to appear near the stage. 广场之上声音很快平息了下来,一队队身着长袍的仪仗人员出现在高台附近。 As the third tone ding falls, a melodious music does not know that from where flutters, but, one volume of distant place horizon together purple multi-colored sunlight slow reality illness but, fell before the stage, purple light collected, seemed like the man about 40 -year-old purple robe gold crown appears before the people, immediately went up steps to be on front stage. 随着第三声钟声落下,一阵悠扬的乐曲不知从何处飘扬而至,远处天边一道紫色霞光似缓实疾的一卷而至,落在了高台前,紫光一敛,一个看似40岁左右的紫袍金冠的男子出现在众人面前,随即拾级登上了面前的高台。 The Liu Ming vision concentrates, although he has never seen this person, but also guessed correctly that he is Ten Thousand Demon Continent Demon Emperor. Zhao Qianying father Huangfu Yong. 柳鸣目光一凝,虽然他从未见过此人,不过也猜到他就是万魔大陆的魔皇。赵千颖的父亲皇甫雍。 Under examines carefully, this person and falls from the sky the Huangfu Liushui facial features in Great Chaos Demon Net Formation to be somewhat similar, on the same day before Huangfu Liushui at the point of death, presents as a gift itself the key of Demon Abyss, oneself then had entered the Demon Abyss Illusory Territory chance. Therefore is deep to its impression. 细看之下,此人和陨落在大混沌魔罗阵中的皇甫流水面容有几分相似,当日皇甫流水临死前赠自己魔渊之钥,自己这才有了进入魔渊幻境的机缘。所以对其印象非常深。 In the Liu Ming heart surges an unusual feeling, is good, in following closely Demon Emperor behind another three people are accompanying the multi-colored sunlight to fall before the stage, attracted his attention. 柳鸣心中涌起一阵异样的感觉,好在紧随着魔皇身后另外有三人伴着霞光落在高台前,吸引了他的注意力。 One of them is a purple robe old man of facial features scholarly, another is appearance a little fierce silver hair middle-aged man, last person, is a personal appearance slender wearing a mask female. aura that among three people of intentionally or unintentionally reveals is fearful, impressively is the Profound Opening Realm demon person. 其中一人是一位面容儒雅的紫袍老者,另一个是面目有点狰狞的银发中年人,最后一人,则是一名身形苗条的蒙面女子。三人有意无意间流露出的气息都非常可怕,赫然都是通玄境魔人。 The Liu Ming vision fell on that personal appearance slender wearing a mask female, the vision sparkled, on the face revealed the color of thinking. 柳鸣目光落在了那名身形苗条的蒙面女子身上,目光闪了闪,脸上露出思索之色。 After three people come to power, one line of more than 20 people have been on the stage. 就在三人上台后,又有一行20余人登上了高台。 This time crowd is the quite young person, has the male to have the female, performs all a purple graceful Chinese dress. 这次的人群都是颇为年轻的人,有男有女,尽皆一身紫色雍容华服。 Liu Ming's eyes flashed, knew from the discussion sound of surrounding crowd, the direct line bloodlines of these person Huangfu families. 柳鸣目光一闪,从周围人群的议论声中得知,这些人正是皇甫家的直系血脉。 His subconscious has swept one in the crowd, finally in this time, a purple beautiful figure immediately leaps forward his view, his pupil shrinks slightly, this female is not others, is Zhao Qianying. 他下意识的在人群中扫了一眼,结果就在此时,一个紫色倩影立刻跃入他的眼帘,其瞳孔微微一缩,此女不是别人,正是赵千颖。 In the Liu Ming heart cannot bear jumps, in the eye flashes through a complex color. 柳鸣心中忍不住一跳,眼中闪过一丝复杂之色。 Zhao Qianying at this moment, a fair busy cheek, tooth Bai Chunhong, looks about the fresh posture, purple hair optional hanging loose in shoulder, but in the facial expression has been short of several points of comfortable, were many several points of solemn and respectful. 此刻的赵千颖,一张白皙无暇的脸蛋,齿白唇红,顾盼生姿,一袭紫发随意的披散在肩头,只是神情中少了几分闲适,多了几分肃穆。 When Liu Ming looks to her, she resembles to have a feeling, a beautiful pupil revolution, has gone through layer upon layer the crowd, fell on Liu Ming. 在柳鸣望向她之时,她似有所感,美眸一转,穿过了层层人群,落在了柳鸣身上。 Liu Ming complexion one stiff, in Zhao Qianying one pair such as under the gaze of water bright eyes, in the heart sighed secretly, distant nodded to it, has smiled lightly. 柳鸣面色一僵,不过在赵千颖一双如水明眸的注视之下,心中暗暗叹了口气,遥遥的对其点了点头,淡淡笑了一下。 Zhao Qianying elegant face slightly one red, in the eye flashes through flustered, has put aside the vision quickly. 赵千颖俏脸微微一红,眼中闪过一丝慌张,很快移开了目光。 On Liu Ming's face reveals an awkwardness, the audiences Prince Young Master of vision by toward Zhao Qianying looks. 柳鸣脸上露出一丝尴尬,目光朝着赵千颖旁边的一众皇子公子看去。 These imperial noble descents cultivation base vary, majority is True Core, Crystal Transformation cultivation base, Heaven Imitation Realm, only then stands in most front 78 people. 这些皇家贵胄们修为各异,大部分都是真丹,化晶的修为,天象境的只有站在最前排的78个人。 A Liu Ming vision revolution, looked to a red hair youth. 柳鸣目光一转,看向了一个红发青年。 This person of appearance looks like with Huangfu Liushui is somewhat similar, body aura is also in audiences Prince hugest one, impressively already is Heaven Imitation peak cultivation base, faint already treadonned into Profound Opening Realm. 此人容貌看起来和皇甫流水有些相似,身上气息也是一众皇子中最为庞大的一个,赫然已经是天象巅峰的修为,隐隐已经一只脚踏入了通玄境界。 The Liu Ming vision dodges, his these days when the Imperial City surrounding strolls already heard that in a Demon Emperor male offspring, named called Huangfu Jiangu Prince cultivation base to be highest. 柳鸣目光微闪,他这几日在皇城外围闲逛时早就听说,在魔皇的一众子嗣之中,一个名为叫皇甫剑谷的皇子修为最高。 After Huangfu Liushui falls from the sky, Huangfu Jiangu has naturally mounted the most popular candidate of next throne. 在皇甫流水陨落之后,皇甫剑谷自然登上了下一任皇位的最热门人选。 In several other Heaven Imitation Realm clansmen, facial features thin youth cultivation base has achieved Heaven Imitation Late Stage, besides these two, Zhao Qianying cultivation base was highest. 其他的几个天象境族人中,还有一个面容瘦削的青年修为达到了天象后期,除了这两人之外,赵千颖的修为算是最高了。 Liu Ming's eyebrows moves gently, once more restored the calm appearance. 柳鸣眉头轻轻一动,就再次恢复了波澜不惊的模样。 Melodious ritual music already stopped, Huangfu Yong stands in the stage front line, gazes at following several thousand Patriarch, on the face is showing a smiling face. 悠扬的礼乐此刻已经停了下来,皇甫雍站在高台最前方,注视着下面的数千家主,脸上露出一丝笑容。 „Today is indebted came from far away, is assemble. Made this sovereign is really gratified.” The Huangfu Yong clear and resonant voice said that although the sound is not loud, but by far has actually disseminated, and clear incomparable spread has presented in the ears of all people.. “今日承蒙诸位远道而来,相聚一堂。令本皇甚是欣慰。”皇甫雍朗声说道,声音虽然不大,但是却远远的传播了出去,并清晰无比的传入了在场所有人的耳中。。 Following Patriarch hearing this simultaneously sets out. Bowed good a ritual in the stage direction. 下面的家主们闻言齐齐起身。朝高台方向躬身行了一礼。 Huangfu Yong has stopped the moment , to continue saying: 皇甫雍停顿了片刻,继续说道: „At present the Continent situation slightly has turbulence, Liu Clan and Great North collude to deceitfully, occupies four counties......” “眼下大陆局势略有动荡,柳家与大朔勾结为奸,盘踞四郡……” Publication that after Huangfu Yong has referred to a prologue, the paying tribute grand ceremony formally starts. Regional Patriarch arrive under the stage one by one, has offered the thing of paying tribute, and by specifically is responsible for accepting for the person to be responsible for gathering, registers and sings to read aloud. 在皇甫雍似有所指的发表了一番开场白后,朝贡大典正式开始。各地家主逐一来到高台之下,献上了朝贡之物,并由专门负责纳供之人负责收取,登记并唱诵出来。 This link, is shows major Patriarch strength the time, actually Central Imperial Court regarding paying tribute does not have what specific requirement, is only a ceremony, the goal is gathers Imperial City these families, is loyal as the probe, as well as authority control one method nothing more. 这一环节,是彰显各大家主实力的时候,其实中央皇朝对于朝贡并没有什么特定要求,只是一个仪式,目的是将这些家族聚集到皇城,作为试探忠心,以及权力控制的一种手段而已。 Major Aristocratic Family are loyal for the table. at the same time shows own strength in the face of the major influences, then multi- payment thing some as far as possible. 各大世家为了表忠心。同时在各大势力面前展现自己的实力,便会尽可能的多交纳一些东西了。 Offers the offering first naturally is Gaohe, Long Clan, Patriarch of Kongxiang these three big wealthy and powerful families, naturally also presents tribute most three influences, the light was demon crystal that offered is over a hundred million levels, other material treasures were countless, making under the stage the person be flabbergasted in abundance. 最先献上供物的自然是高赫,龙家,孔翔这三大豪族的家主,自然也是纳贡最多的三股势力了,光是献上的魔晶便是上亿级的,其他材料珍宝更是不计其数,让台下之人纷纷咋舌不已。 However what is most unexpected, in three big Patriarch after offering offering, has not returned to above the original seat. But was invited above the stage by Huangfu Yong, sits down before the Demon Emperor bed of state. 但是最为出乎意料的是,在三大家主在献上供物之后,并没有回到原先的座位之上。而是被皇甫雍邀请到了高台之上,在魔皇的御座前坐下。 This act has immediately caused whooping of following crowd, in this and other above dignified grand ceremony, any action has represented certain significance. 此举顿时引起了下面人群的议论纷纷,在这等庄严大典之上,任何举动都代表了一定的意义。 Three big Patriarch and Huangfu Yong share a table to sit. The intimate discerning people can look. 三大家主和皇甫雍同桌而坐。彼此之间的亲密明眼人都看得出来。 „Zhao brother, has not thought that the matter of this year's paying tribute, Clan Head of three big wealthy and powerful families not only arrive at the scene completely, but also and Demon Emperor relations are unexpectedly close hence, it seems like that the Liu Clan rebel army seems like threatens, but the prospect is worrying!” Liu Ming not far away. Two Heaven Imitation Realm Patriarch correct use thin inaudible sounds are exchanging. “赵兄,没想到今年的朝贡之事,三大豪族的族长不但全部亲临现场,而且和魔皇关系竟亲密至此,看来柳家叛军看似气势汹汹,但前景堪忧啊！”柳鸣身旁不远处。两个天象境家主正用细不可闻的声音交流着。 However the Liu Ming's knowledge thinks the far exceed average man, Divine Consciousness above two people, the nature hears clearly this dialog. 不过柳鸣的识觉远超常人,神识又远在二人之上,自然将这番对话听得清清楚楚。 Liu Ming staying calm and collected sweeps with the corner of the eye split vision, originally opposite party more than ten about zhang (3.33 m) right oneself, middle-aged man wears the grey robe, the appearance is ordinary, has Heaven Imitation Initial Stage strength probably. 柳鸣不动声色的用眼角余光一扫,原来对方就在自己右侧十余丈开外,其中一个中年人身着灰袍,面相普通,大概有天象初期的实力。 Another person is the hair grayish white thin old man. 另一人是个头发灰白的清瘦老者。 These two Liu Ming did not know, but looks at two people of family marks, should be Patriarch of quite far away state county. 这两人柳鸣都不认识,不过看两人身上的家族标记,应该是较为偏远的州郡的家主。 „Snort! The Liu Clan rebellion, is the behavior that suicides, Huangfu Clan controls Ten Thousand Demon Continent to have hundreds of thousands of years purely, not only strength is tyrannical, and was already ingrained. Although Liu Clan has occupied some winning sides for a while, regardless of, on the one hand weighs, possibly is not the enemy of central dynasty, moreover looks at this moment situation, Sir Demon Emperor already subdues three big wealthy and powerful families, Liu Clan left the time of suffering a defeat and fleeing not to be far.” The thin old man sneers, sound hoarsely. “哼！柳家叛乱,纯粹是寻死的行为,皇甫家族掌控万魔大陆已有数十万年,不仅实力强横,且早已根深蒂固。柳家虽一时占了些许上风,但是无论从哪一方面衡量,都不可能是中央王朝之敌,而且看此刻情形,魔皇大人已经收服了三大豪族,柳家离败亡之期不远了。”清瘦老者冷笑一声,声音略带沙哑。 The Liu Ming vision sparkled, on the face shows the light smiling face. 柳鸣目光闪了闪,脸上露出淡淡笑容。 Although he does not know that Demon Emperor has used any method, but at this moment, three big wealthy and powerful family already obvious standing in a Central Imperial Court side, Liu Clan , if no anything to go against heaven's will the method, the situation is indeed in imminent danger. 他虽然不知道魔皇使用了什么法子,不过此刻,三大豪族已经明显的站在了中央皇朝一方,柳家若是没有什么逆天手段,局势的确岌岌可危。 at the same time, square Patriarch and Elder majority above of whoop, but mostly is also having so the view. 与此同时,广场之上的大部分的家主及长老们议论纷纷,不过也大都持着这般看法。 These families that then, saved the attitude of wait and see, after seeing this scenery, in the heart cannot help but starts to calculate. 如此一来,本来存观望态度的那些家族,在看到此景后,心中不由得都开始重新盘算起来。 The ceremony that Namibia supplies continues, after three big Aristocratic Family, some big Aristocratic Family Patriarch or Elder, goes forward in turn, delivers the own thing of paying tribute. 纳供的仪式继续在进行,继三大世家之后,一些大世家的家主或是长老,也依次上前,将自己的朝贡之物上交。 After enough one long time, presented tribute the ceremony eventually to finish. 足足一个多时辰过后,纳贡仪式才终于结束。 In this period, Liu Ming naturally also went forward to offer Qing Family preparation the thing of paying tribute, these matters were also Qing Gu and the others meticulously prepare, but here, anything has not actually lost face. 期间,柳鸣自然也上前将青家准备的朝贡之物献了上去,这些物事也是青鼓等人精心准备,但在这里,却并没有什么出彩的。 Liu Ming actually wants this effect.( To be continued.) 柳鸣却正是要这个效果。(未完待续。)
