Chapter 427 Khitan Fire Festival
"Let's go, go inside to practice. I will explain to you the heart method of Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue and the method of internal strength cultivation, and I will guard by the side so that you will not encounter any danger."

Zong Xin said depressedly: "Why do you have to practice here? Can't you go back and practice?"

"No, you must practice the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue here. The reason is very simple. If your body has not been exposed to high temperatures for a long time and cannot adapt, even if you teach the sixth yang, you will be punished by your own body." The scorching heat is burning coke. So you have to adapt to the high temperature first, and then cultivate slowly."

Yeluzhen walked into a cave first. In fact, when he got near the cave, Zong Xin felt that the temperature here was higher than other places, because there was no snow nearby.After entering the cave, I felt a rush of heat. Except for the pungent smell in the cave, everything else was fine.

Of course, Zong Xin had the five poison gods to protect his body, and these poisonous gases were nothing to him at all.It's just that Zong Xin felt that the temperature was getting higher as he walked in, and finally there was a red and yellow light in the cave.

Walk out of this cave and come to a relatively open place. This place seems to be the entrance of hell. There are fire pools everywhere. These fire pools are different in size and there are tumbling and flowing magma inside.Obviously this is an active volcano, and it looks very active.

There are few places to set foot outside the cave. Except for the fire pool, the other places are semi-solidified magma. The temperature is also very high and it is very fragile. If you are not careful, you will fall into the magma. If you fall unfortunately, you may even lose your bones. No scum will be left.

Yeluzhen jumped down directly, and stood firmly on a volcanic rock. Regardless of the condition of the volcanic rock, Yeluzhen's light work can guarantee that he will not fall.

"Come down, practicing here should be enough. Don't worry, you won't die with me watching over you."

Although Zong Xin was a little scared, he still jumped down with Yeluzhen, and then sat cross-legged next to a fire pool to use the internal strength of Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art. His whole body seemed to be wrapped in a ball of fire, and the surrounding temperature was already very high , and Zong Xin's true energy almost melted the magma stones around the fire pool again, and the range of all fire pools expanded a lot.

Yeluzhen closed his eyes slightly and stood by Zongxin's side. These temperatures were nothing to him at all. Every time the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art increased by one layer, the temperature would double or even several times. Yeluzhen, who has practiced the Jiuyang Burning Art to the highest level, can almost take a bath in the magma, and his body will not be affected at all.

Half a month later
On the day of Khitan's most important fire festival, the entire Linhuang Mansion was full of bonfires. All the Khitan people stood by the bonfires. The temperature was getting colder and colder. Although the Central Plains hadn't yet winter, Linhuang Mansion had already started to snow.Barbecuing, drinking, singing and dancing around the fire, this is the happiest time of the year for the Khitans. They have to stay in front of the fire all day to accept the baptism of the fire.

The Khitan people are very popular about cremation. They all believe that the flame is a gift from their ancestors. The souls of the ancestors are all in the flame. The light produced by the flame is the purest and greatest. As long as they accept the baptism of the fire, children can grow up healthily. Elderly people live longer too.

Even if you don't have such a beautiful yearning, it would be nice to have a barbecue and drink together in front of the fire occasionally.

Tianya has never understood why Youyun Shibaqi likes to build a big campfire so much, and then barbecue and drink in front of the campfire, but today he finally understands, it turns out that this is the tradition of the Khitan people, they believe that the light of fire is the purest light , even greater than the sun's rays.

At this time, within the Khitan Palace, all the important ministers, empresses and princes gathered in front of the various fires, also drinking and grilling meat.This is the only time Khitan celebrated the fire festival in the palace, because the palace died and the next emperor has not been announced, so they can only hold this fire festival in the palace, which is usually held near Nabo.

Nabo is the emperor's camp. In fact, the Khitan emperors didn't spend much time in the palace. They traveled all over the country in the camp, and all policies were decided in Nabo.This year's Fire Festival makes people feel very lonely, so there is a lot less laughter.

All the important ministers came to the palace, including Yelu An Duan San and his son Yelu Ruan.The bonfire is mainly divided into four parts, where all forces gather. The heir, the queen and her party are all near the same fire. Everyone sits in a circle, sitting upright, with raw meat and hot dishes in front of them. liquor.

Yelujing's face was ashen, because Yeluzhen announced to all the princes before leaving that the next emperor would definitely not be Yelvjing, and everyone else had high expectations of themselves. If it wasn't for Yelvjing, anyone could be.So they never left the palace, they were all waiting for Yeluzhen to announce this important matter.

In fact, no matter who Yeluzhen supports, that person will definitely be able to become emperor and unify the entire Khitan, there is no doubt about it.Even if Empress Xiao and Yelu Anduan objected, it would be useless. At worst, the Khitan would be split. But with Yeluzhen's peerless martial arts, his attainments in the art of war and his prestige among the people, one day the Khitan could be reunited. Xiao The queen and Yelu'an couldn't fight Yeluzhen.

Of course, there are several new faces in this most important group.Sitting behind Yeluzage was his master, a scrawny old man with a deer-head walking stick beside him. There was almost no hair on the top of his head, and there were a few white hairs on both sides. It seemed that he was not far from death, but many Everyone knows that this is just an appearance, because as early as more than ten years ago, everyone thought that he was not far from death, but he has been living strong.

This person is Yelv Sage's master, Wan Yanming, the Chief Imperial Physician of the Liao Kingdom.This person is not a Khitan, but a Jurchen. The Liao Kingdom was not originally a Khitan clan, and the Jurchen also played a large role in the Liao Kingdom. There were many important Jurchen ministers in the dynasty, as well as the Jurchen royal family.

Yelu Deguang’s attitude towards Jurchen is far inferior to that of the Han people. The Jurchen family is very similar to the Khitan, so the Jurchen was directly included in the Khitan. Except for the custom of retaining their surnames, the laws are completely implemented in accordance with the laws of the Khitan, except for the Han people. One country, two systems.

Wan Yanming could know a lot of things by sitting behind Yeluzage. Yeluzage must have agreed to some conditions of Wanyanming, so Wanyanming would fully support Yeluzage's ascension to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.It is estimated that it will allow the Jurchen people to gain more power.

In fact, this should be the hometown of the Jurchen people. The Jurchen people are very similar to the Khitan people, and they are mostly nomadic. However, the Khitan people established political power first, and established the Liao Dynasty after capturing the tribes.The Liao Kingdom, which has already formed a large scale, is far superior to all the Jurchen tribes, so it went all the way south, from the extreme north to Shangjing Linhuang, then to Zhongjing, Tokyo, and even harvested the sixteen prefectures of Youyun.

The Jurchen people did not react at all and became residents of the Liao Kingdom. Some people were more flexible and began to study and work hard to revive the Jurchen people.But most people still follow the crowd and can only tolerate being bullied by the Khitans.

Wan Yanming is a rare genius in the Jurchen clan. He learned medical skills since he was a child and practiced martial arts well. His medical skills are unique, and he can cure diseases to the root, so he was promoted as an imperial doctor by Yelu Deguang.Wan Yanming didn't have much ideals or ambitions, he only hoped that the Jurchens could gain more power, at least not be driven away by the Khitans for no reason when grazing.Or when paying taxes, you don't have to push too hard, because the Jurchens are indeed too poor.

Yelu Deguang not only admired Yeluming's skill in using medicine, but also admired his skill in using poison.All doctors know how to use poison. If they don't use poison, how can they detoxify?Later, it was discovered that Wan Yanming's martial arts were also very superb, so he asked Yelu Sage to worship him as his teacher, hoping that the royal family could learn more martial arts and not hang themselves on a tree in Yeluzhen.

In this way, Wan Yanming became the master of the second prince Yeluzage, Wan Yanming can say that he did his best and was very loyal to the second prince.He has been secretly helping Yeluzage, one is because of the relationship between mentor and apprentice, and the other is because of Yeluzage's promise to him.

Yeluzage has indeed done a good job in recent years. He has done his best to allow the Jurchens to obtain more grazing areas, and he has also made great contributions to taxes.Wan Yanming was very grateful for this, so he definitely supported Yelu Sage, even if it cost him his life.

The third prince, Yelu Tiande, has no one around, because his martial arts are very average, and he has not been trained by a famous teacher.In fact, Yelu Tiande had a lot of opportunities, and he could even become a disciple of Yeluzhen, but he voluntarily refused, because Yelu Tiande believed that no matter how high a person's martial arts skills are, it is useless, and those who govern the country need smarter minds.

Yelu Tiande's cognition is not wrong. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to personally conquer every time, to manage the country well, and to use the right people to do the right things is a good emperor, and it is a rare good emperor.But it is not easy to achieve this. Yelu Tiande has read a lot of books. Although he is quite talented, he is still far behind those real smart people.

The fourth prince, Yelv Dilie, was the most stupefied and the most fiery-tempered. At this time, a mysterious man sat behind him. This man was dressed in a black robe, with beautiful black hair slightly curly, with two mustaches, from the left eye to the cheek. Deep scars.

This person has a good appearance and a calm expression. He is probably over 30 years old and looks very heroic.Sitting cross-legged behind Yelu Dilie, he seemed to be there, and often ignored his existence.Maybe other people can't see it, but people with slightly higher martial arts will know that this person is a master, and he is a rare master. Although he is not very young, his martial arts should be very high.
