Chapter 9 Fireworks are like a dream
The bright blue lights on the viewing platform embellished the dim night sky with a touch of dreaminess.
A stream of light pierced the sky in the distance, and everyone looked up and saw a huge eagle beast.
This beast is twenty to thirty feet long, has a white beak and a wide back, and has sharp eyes. It is not difficult to see several human figures standing upright on its back.
"It's the Goshawk Beast! The Goshawk Beast of Great Elder Lingyue Jingze Master!"
"That's it! It's said that this goshawk beast is a great demon in the spirit condensation stage. It's really majestic when we see it today!"
"It's really enviable to have such a powerful mount!"
"Ah! It's the Twelve Morning Stars! They are here too!"
"What?! Brother, step aside and let us take a closer look!"
There were constant whispers in the crowd. Lingyue's outer sect disciples, who had arrived in advance, surrounded the viewing platform into an open space. Outside the human wall, the closer to the stone platform, the more crowded it became. Lu Lingqiu and his two men stood at the edge and waited.
Mu Qing was originally in a good mood, but after seeing the goshawk beast in the sky, he pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully: "You are already a great spirit condensing demon, how can you become a filthy human being?"
The mount really embarrasses the Goshawk family."
In the Monster Clan, although the Goshawk lineage is not powerful, their strength and talent cannot be underestimated, especially their innate ability to soar rapidly in the sky, which is envied by many little monsters.
As a demon lord, I feel unhappy when I see my kind looking so humble.
But she herself...
As an existence in the transformation stage——
But he completely forgot the fact that he had already been "conquered" by Lu Lingqiu in various senses.
Lu Lingqiu smiled slightly and pretended not to hear.
A strong wind blew by, and the goshawk landed steadily in front of the giant cauldron.
It leaned down and tilted its iron feathers, allowing the dozen or so people on its back to walk down slowly.
The leader was a majestic-looking middle-aged man, wearing a Lingyue Taoist robe, with a short beard, and an elder jade medal hanging on his waist that symbolized his identity. His whole body exuded a cold and harsh aura that was difficult to get along with.
Behind him, there were eleven female disciples standing neatly. If anyone looked carefully, they would find that all of these women were slim and graceful with beautiful faces.
Who can bear this scene?
Immortal cultivators have an extraordinary temperament, and these women on the stage are the best among the immortal cultivators. They are all unique in appearance and figure. Although they are not as stunning as Mu Qing, they are still untouchable in the eyes of the public.
Soon, the fiery gazes of the crowd were like a flood, drowning the fairies on the stage.
It seems that these female cultivators are the rumored "Lingyue Twelve Morning Stars".
Lu Lingqiu has long heard about the internal structure of Lingyue Sect. Except for the master Brahma Heart Master and the seven elders, the entire operation of the sect is fully entrusted to the "Twelve Morning Stars". The elders only need to provide support at critical moments.
Just check it.
The so-called "Twelve Morning Stars" are outstanding female disciples among the inner disciples who meet certain requirements in all aspects and have passed the examination of the elders.
The reason why I choose a woman instead of a man is that firstly, there are more women than men in the Lingyue Sect, and the ratio of male and female disciples is about one to five; secondly, it is because the head master Fanxin Shitai believes that the "Twelve Morning Stars" walk as the spiritual moon.
Men are not qualified for the world's appearance.
In the beginning, Lingyue Sect was a large spiritual sect that only accepted female disciples. Many years later, there was a reform within the sect, and several male elders were airborne, and then they began to recruit male disciples one after another.
Even so, every year during the Mochizuki Festival, the number of male disciples recruited will be strictly limited, and ultra-high thresholds will be set to avoid the phenomenon of "study for beauty" from happening on a large scale.
There are almost no sects in Tiancang Continent that dare to delegate power to disciples in this way, because although this approach has many benefits, it also has many hidden dangers.
In any case, after so many years, the name of "Lingyue Twelve Morning Stars" has become known to everyone in the Great Qin Kingdom and the surrounding small countries. Facts have proved that the decision-making of the headmaster and the elders still has something to it.
After the scene became quieter, the middle-aged man looked around and said calmly:
"I am Jingze, the current great elder of Lingyue Sect."
His voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone in the audience.
"This year's Moon Moon Festival is different from the past." He paused, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the corner of the stone platform, fully revealing the eleven "Morning Stars" behind him.
"In previous years, the Moon Watching Festival was personally presided over by the elders of our sect. This year, the second chairperson of the Morning Star will be fully responsible."
Everyone in the audience looked surprised when they heard what was said, and there was endless discussion. You must know that recruiting new students to a sect is a major event that requires ensuring the quality of disciples. To a certain extent, it also determines the future of some sects.
It is too bold to hand over all the power to one of the young Twelve Morning Stars. If something goes wrong along the way, this wealthy and powerful sect will be criticized by others if word spreads.
But Elder Jingze didn't seem to have any worries and directly announced: "The 31st Moon Moon Ceremony has officially begun!"
After saying that, he glanced at a certain female disciple on the stage, then calmly mounted the goshawk beast and flew into the air in the direction of Baiyu Peak.
Before everyone could react, the next moment, under the simultaneous urging of several outer disciples, several spiritual talismans of different colors floated directly above the viewing platform.
With several crackling sounds, various magical symbols bloomed into colorful fireworks in the night sky. Everyone looked up and saw red and blue intertwined in the dark night sky. The scene was very beautiful.
Without the pressure of the elders, the atmosphere here suddenly became much more relaxed.
According to the procedures of previous years, after the elders officially announce the start of the Mochizuki Festival, there is usually a short period of fireworks display. This rule was not drawn up by the leader and others, but was implemented by the "Morning Star" during the reforms within the sect in recent years.
A meeting was held to discuss the results and the elders' permission was obtained. This had not happened before.
"Young blood will indeed rejuvenate the traditional martial arts with a long history."
Lu Lingqiu sighed in his heart.
"It's a bit pretty." Mu Qing stood beside him quietly, looking at the scene in the sky, and sighed quietly: "Human beings can pursue beautiful things so naturally."
Feeling her depression, Lu Lingqiu looked at her: "Do you like it too?"
"Hmm." Her eyes were unfocused. She didn't know whether she was looking at the fireworks in the sky or the person in front of her.
Monsters are different from humans.
Although there are occasional conspiracy and killings driven by profit among human monks, most of the time, as long as they find a higher level of refuge, they can always re-plan their future in a relatively safe environment and arrange their own time.
.
——That is, although we follow the principle of respecting the strong, we still have freedom in a relative sense.
The most obvious example is that when monks meet mortals, they can kill them easily, but very few people do it. Because they know that this kind of behavior is harmful to nature and unnecessary.
Mortals have a mortal life, which does not affect the interests of monks. Monks will not kill their own kind. This is a very simple truth. Moreover, once a monk takes pleasure in killing mortals, he will be defined as an evil cultivator and will be punished.
The crusade of major human organizations forms a perfect check and balance.
But the fate of the demon clan is so unlucky.
From birth, we have to learn how to survive.
They are both demons. If an enlightened little demon encounters an unenlightened beast, a good-tempered little demon will ignore it. Of course, there is a high probability that he will still choose to hunt it.
The relationship between demon cultivators and demon cultivators is even more complicated. The slaughter of the weak and the strong is going on every moment. If Mu Qing hadn't been from the Tianlu lineage with noble blood and superior abilities, her fate would probably have been like that of most little ones.
Just like a demon, even if you have talent, you won't survive the transformation stage.
Not to mention having to avoid being hunted by other species——
Such as human monks.
Therefore, it is already very difficult to stay alive.
The two were silent for a long time, and Lu Lingqiu suddenly said: "Maybe one day, I will show you the most beautiful thing."
Above the night sky, the fireworks stopped abruptly.
"Really?"
There seemed to be light shining in the girl's rose-red pupils, and she looked into his obsidian eyes.
"Um."
His answer didn't sound like a joke, but more like a promise.
Mu Qing tightened her little hand held by him,
He nodded heavily.
Chapter completed!
