Chapter 478 Great Jin

Dajin, Liaozhou.

This state is one of the 108 states of the Jin Dynasty. In terms of area, it can be ranked in the top ten. However, most of it is a severely cold place. It is covered with snow for more than half of the year, making the roads difficult to travel and sparsely populated. Desolate and barren. Shunjiang River is one of the few large rivers that does not freeze all year round and can be used for navigation. It is the main shipping line in Liaozhou. Boats come and go on the river all year round, making it very lively.

"Brother Xu, we're finally here!"

In the small town on the river bank, small merchants and hawkers were selling their energy and shouting, and people were coming and going. Two young men dressed in different clothes from the local customs walked side by side along the river. They came to the pier all the way and stopped to look at the river.

The two young men were Xu Qingyang and Han Li.

It took the two of them two years from snatching away the Tianlan Holy Beast to arriving here. No wonder Han Li felt sad.

The long journey is secondary. The main thing is to avoid unexpected people along the way and be prepared to be surrounded by them. From time to time, you need to hide and go around in circles. It takes a lot of time, but fortunately, the Mulan people did not break their promise. , dispatched large armies to lead the Tuchu people to the north, and gradually led away large numbers of tribes, creating opportunities for them to leave.

After stepping into this place, the power of the sudden people is beyond their reach.

Considering the Tuwu people's connections in Dajin, as well as the Yinluo Sect they offended, and the forces of the Nine Immortals Palace, after entering the Dajin realm, they have to keep a low profile and focus on finding what they need.

"You two fellow Taoists, are you planning to take a boat ride?"

Xu Qingyang looked back and saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt with two followers in single clothes stopping about ten feet away.

Among the three people, the man in Confucian robes is at the fourth level of qi training, and the two followers are rare top warriors. The true qi in his body is restrained, returning to his original nature, and has entered the realm of transformation. Even in the cold winter, his thin clothes do not show any difference, and his eyes Although he stared at them respectfully, he did not show much fear, but was vaguely wary.

After all, it is a big place, and ordinary people are not as ignorant as Tiannan.

Xu Qingyang looked at it for a while, then raised his hands and said, "Can we go down the river directly to Jiangling County?"

The man in Confucian robes looked happy and said with a smile: "That's natural. From what I see, the two of you are dressed as monks from local aristocratic families. If you plan to visit the prosperous land of Liaozhou, taking a boat down the river will save time and avoid unnecessary trouble." A lot of hard work.”

"After all, monks like me in the Qi training stage don't have enough magic power to fly millions of miles away."

"Furthermore, there are thousands of mountains and rivers along this road, sparsely populated areas, and countless water bandits and evil mountain monsters. Every family is willing to recruit practitioners like you two. It's best to go with the fleet. , firstly, there are court monks guarding every section along the river, and secondly, it can avoid being disturbed by complicated and trivial matters, and it does not delay the practice on the way... You only need to help the fleet when necessary..."

The words were so straightforward, how could Xu Qingyang not understand the other's intention.

Han Li spoke from the side and said: "I didn't take much rest along the way. I can take a boat ride for a while and just take it as a rest. I can also learn about some of the connections between the aristocratic families in Liaozhou to prove whether Fengyue's words are true."

Xu Qingyang thought about it and showed his intention.

After some testing, the middle-aged man in Rushan officially proposed to recruit. However, this person was not from the caravan, but the master of a county captain in Liaozhou. Because he received the appointment in a hurry and was in a hurry to go to the post, he did not have time to recruit enough guards. , so he came to this wharf town to look for employed immortal cultivators.

Out of caution, he had already found out that the two of them were new here, and their accents were not even from Liaozhou.

Even if the identity of this kind of foreign monk is doubtful, it must have nothing to do with the chaotic local forces. Even if there is a problem, it will not be too serious. There are only two Qi-training monks left and right.

Xu Qingyang reached an agreement with the other party, stayed at the dock port for another night, and was taken on board the next day.

Most of the guards on the ship are capable guards. All of them have extraordinary skills and have some traces of military service. They are not just a mob. If they cooperate well, ordinary monks in the Qi training period will not be their opponents. The owner's surname was Cao. He was far away from home when he went to work this time, so he took his family members with him. He was afraid that there would not be enough manpower to take care of everything, so he sent someone to recruit them temporarily. They boarded the ship and were personally received by the county captain Cao.

After meeting Cao Xianwei, Xu Qingyang had a deeper understanding of Dajin.

This person is not a mortal bureaucrat, but a serious immortal cultivator, a foundation-building immortal cultivator, and now he has to give people the courtesy of a junior.

Cao County Lieutenant behaved in a more easy-going manner. He smiled and said: "You two little friends, please forgive me. Speaking of which, I want to trouble you this time..."

"Senior Cao, you are polite. With senior here, there is no need for the two of us. We are taking advantage!"

"No, no, no, it's easy to encounter any situation along the way. Cao will just fall down on his own, because he is afraid that he will not take care of his family. You two dare to travel around at such a young age. They must be very strong. It can be said that you have helped Cao a lot." As he spoke, he turned his head and introduced the main relatives around him one by one.

Four beautiful women and five young masters and ladies of different sizes.

Needless to say, the women are all the wives and concubines of Cao Xianwei. Among the young master and the young lady, two are already qi training monks. The eldest among them is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, who has reached the seventh level of qi training.

This woman is elegant and graceful, with a rather heroic look between her brows.

She bowed slightly and saluted the two of them: "The little girl Cao Mengrong has met two Taoist brothers... The little girl heard from Master Zhou that the two Taoist brothers have been traveling outside all year round, but the little girl has never been to a place too far away. , I admire you very much. When you have free time along the way, can you tell the little girl some stories about your journey?”

Cao Xianwei narrowed his eyes and smiled without stopping.

It is not a bad thing for the child to know more about things when he grows up. With him around, there is no need to worry about any problems.

Xu Qingyang wanted to ask for some information, so he said calmly: "Miss Cao, just ask whatever you want to hear on the way. However, we are not from Dajin, and we don't know the situation in various places in Dajin..."

Cao Mengrong's eyes lit up: "That's great. I can tell you about Dajin."

Just like that, Xu Qingyang and Han Li stayed on the boat. The big boat was very stable, so they could relax and rest, relieving the fatigue brought by hiding all the way. Miss Cao did not break her promise. On the way, she talked to the two of them about the scenery and geography of Dajin, as well as the well-known sects and forces in Dajin.

She didn't know much either. She could only talk about Liaozhou and some common sense.

These things, except for specific characters, environmental order and Dayan Shenjun's travels ten thousand years ago, have not changed much. For example, the Dajin Dynasty is a unified force supported by immortal cultivators, responsible for managing the affairs of the secular world.

Dajin is densely populated, with immortals and mortals mixed together, and it actually supervises the middle and lower levels of the immortal world.

For example, after taking office, the county lieutenant Cao was not responsible for managing general government affairs, but only for dealing with matters related to immortals.

The high degree of integration between immortals and the secular regime gave birth to a very large aristocratic ruling group. They have a thousand connections with the major sects in various places, and at the same time they are the cornerstone of the dynasty's rule. Compared with the Tiannan Chaos Star Sea, this group of aristocratic ruling groups directly controls a very large amount of resources.

Even the major sects in various places have to collect what they need for cultivation through them.

This is inevitable under the unified order. First, it is not the autonomy of each sect in Tiannan, and second, it is not the separatist rule of the princes in the Chaos Star Sea. Dajin is fighting but not breaking, fighting under a common order.

And the Dajin Dynasty is actually the main battlefield of the struggle, and naturally it will give birth to a buffer class such as the aristocratic group.

However, as the saying goes, a big tail cannot be cut off. In the current mode of getting along, the aristocratic group has reached a bottleneck in development, and the royal family of Dajin has also accumulated enough strength in this ecological environment, no less than any top sect, and is a natural ally of the aristocratic group. The scale after the merger is unprecedented.

With such a basic base, who is willing to be in name only?

At least, even if they cannot defeat the sect, they want to take the initiative by relying on their size.

For example, a small local family like the Cao family is also supported by a small sect. All their actions are apparently to listen to the court of Dajin, but in fact they have to listen to the sect behind them. But being in the system and under the system, they can naturally borrow the infinite power of the dynasty. How can a small local sect control this power?

It is so awkward. In their hearts, how can they not want to turn the tables and turn the master above into a younger brother?

"I have to meet the Ye family when I have a chance..."

"Xu kid, this Dajin cultivation world is not a small place like Tiannan, and the Dajin royal family is in the spotlight, so you should take it easy..."

"Do you really think those big sects can't see the current situation?"

Xu Qingyang said indifferently: "I know how deep the water is in Dajin. The court has to keep its tail between its legs to survive, but the foundation is too good. The cultivators are already accustomed to the court."

"As long as you take over the plate and control Dajin, you can truly control the power of the entire human world!"

"Especially those gods, you can't let them think about ascending and running away all day long"

Dayan God was speechless when he heard it, thinking that this kid was really not just talking on Qiling Island.

Only this kid dares to think and do the mastery of the Great Jin Holy Land, and has the time. However, what Xu said is right. If he can really take charge of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty and suppress those hidden old monsters, it is equivalent to mastering the center of the human world. The human and material resources that can be influenced will reach a level that ordinary people cannot imagine, and he is indeed qualified to truly complete the feat of repairing the world.

Let's skip this for now, it's too early to talk about it now.

Xu Qingyang did not intend to stir up the situation in the Great Jin this time. He mainly did three things. One was to obtain the Buddhist inheritance and resolve the danger of demons. The other was to collect materials and let the Great Yan God take the path of puppet immortals.

The last one was the holy beast that Han Li caught.

Speaking of this, Xu Qingyang was very depressed. The Tianlan holy beast that Han Li caught back had not yet opened its spiritual intelligence.

Whether it was really not opened or deliberately hidden, Xu Qingyang could not figure it out for a while. After all, it was the soul of a powerful person in the upper realm. It was not incredible to hide it from him. So for now, the focus was to resolve the risk of being possessed by the devil, that is, to go to Jiangling County.

This place is where Feng Yue's family is located. Feng Yue's real name is Feng.

In Jiangling County, Guanning Prefecture has four major families, namely Kong, Zhao, Dong, and Feng. They are all supported by major sects. Feng Yue's original family, the ancestors were once lay disciples of Guanning "Qianguang Temple".

And this Qianguang Temple is a branch of the Jinluo Sect, a major Buddhist sect.

The Buddhist inheritance left by Feng Yue's family is the best information to obtain, and there is also evidence of past life memories, so it will not be in vain.

Han Li also needs this Buddhist inheritance. There were too many monsters hunted in the past, and the evil spirits were entangled. After breaking through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it has been found that the problem has become serious. If it cannot be resolved, it will be a great obstacle to future practice breakthroughs, and it may even be backfired by the evil spirits and fall in cultivation.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

They encountered several attacks on the road, but it was not a big problem. With County Lieutenant Cao in charge, Xu Qingyang and the others made some tricks, and the mortals were well protected and arrived at Wuyuan Prefecture smoothly.

This is where County Lieutenant Cao is working, and we have to go our separate ways here.

The two of them had a pleasant time together along the way. After resting their spirits, they went to say goodbye in person.

County Magistrate Cao wanted to keep the two of them. He had seen along the way that they were very talented in both character and practice. They were rare talents. Staying would help him master his position as soon as possible, but the two of them were determined to leave, so he couldn't force them to stay.

The one who was most reluctant to leave was Miss Cao.

After half a year of getting along, the vision and demeanor that the two of them inadvertently revealed had a great impact on this girl. She had unknowingly broken through to the eighth level of Qi training, and she even felt that the road ahead had become very clear.

This kind of insight that cleared the clouds and saw the sun was something her father's cultivation could not help her with.

Although many times, she couldn't figure out whether it was an accidental insight during her discussion or whether the two of them had intentionally helped.

Han Li played the biggest role in this. Xu Qingyang had no intention of provoking the little girl, but Han Li saw the shadow of his former younger sister in her. He secretly sorted out the cultivation path of Miss Cao before she established her foundation. This opportunity was very obscure, and the girl was not aware of it at all now, but instinctively became closer to Han Li.

When she heard that the two were determined to leave, Miss Cao's big eyes were red and she came to see them off early.

How could Xu Qingyang not understand such obvious affection? He glanced at Han Li, and Han Li's old face turned red, and then he calmed down and said: "Miss Cao, there is no need to see you off. See you again if we are destined to meet again!"

Cao Mengrong stood there awkwardly, her cheeks flushed with shame.

"Brother Xu, Brother Han, I have benefited a lot these days. Let me see you off!"

Han Li wanted to refuse, but Xu Qingyang waved his hand and said, "I'll go first and wait for you in front. You guys can chat, don't be in a hurry..." After that, he bowed to Miss Cao, released an ordinary flying magic weapon, and walked away slowly. Not long after walking, Han Li caught up with him, and there was no sign of good or bad on his face.

"Junior Brother Han, so fast?..."

Han Li turned his head and looked indifferent: "Brother Xu, I really didn't mean that!"

Xu Qingyang felt that this kid was a little bit against his will, but thinking about the past, he was helpless and didn't want to discuss gender issues anymore. Without women in his heart, the road will come naturally, which is a good thing.

A few days later, the two entered the territory of Guangning Prefecture in Jiangling County.

After entering the country smoothly, the two came to the vicinity of a small town, pretending to be passing monks, and walked towards the town. When they were not far from the city gate, they showed the spiritual light of the foundation-building period, which was convenient for inquiring about the news. At that time, two white-robed monks under the city scanned their spiritual senses and came forward to meet them.

"May I ask your names, seniors? Are you here to attend the King of Participation Conference?"
