Chapter 170: The prosperous Great Zhou, the arrival of an acquaintance
The idea of conferring the gods was not just Cui Heng's spur-of-the-moment idea.
Among the ten spells he had previously obtained through deduction, there was a "God-binding Spell", which could be used to capture gods and order them to act after being mastered.
In Cui Heng's view, since there is a spell to capture gods, there should naturally be a spell to confer the gods.
Seeing the remaining soul on the tablet at this time, he thought of some myths and legends he had read in his previous life on Earth, and naturally thought of conferring the gods.
"If I can really deify these more than 170 residual souls as gods, and let them all have corresponding authority, I can probably build a copycat version of heaven."
Cui Heng thought to himself, "If I really have the technique of deifying, when I return to Dajin in the future, I can also deify the Honghe Water God as a real god, so as to save the people from floods."
According to the description of gods in the "Decree to Bind Gods Spell", one of their main characteristics is that they have the authority of a certain law.
This authority comes from the power of the law. As long as they have the authority of the law, even if they are so weak that they can only light a bonfire, they are still gods.
Therefore, the Honghe Water God that Cui Heng deified in Dajin is not a god strictly speaking, but a powerful spirit called the Water God, who is just a little more powerful.
However, the deification was only a temporary idea of Cui Heng. After a little divergence of his thoughts in this regard, he gathered his thoughts back.
Moreover, deifying the gods involves the deep application of laws, which is estimated to be difficult to do in the early stage of Yuanying. The most important thing at the moment is to explore the unknown as much as possible, enhance the cultivation of Yuanying, and strive to break through to the middle stage of Yuanying.
Therefore, Cui Heng suppressed this idea in his heart and planned to consider it when there was a suitable opportunity in the future.
...
What is the unknown?
Cui Heng simply understood this point at the beginning as "anything that you don't know is unknown."
This is indeed the case.
As long as he learns something he didn't know before, sees something he has never seen before, or meets someone he has never seen before, or goes to a place he has never been to, he will get feedback from exploring the unknown, and Yuanying will also improve.
Of course, the improvement obtained in different ways is naturally different.
Now Cui Heng has initially summarized some experiences.
The most feedback is to explore secrets that have far-reaching effects but are unknown to most people.
For example, his exploration of the moon, such as exploring the relationship between the nine great Xuanxian and the Xuanxian of Ziji Palace three thousand years ago, and the way they obtained the characteristics of immortality.
The second is the realm level involved is higher, and things that he didn't know before.
For example, some information mentioned in Hong Fugui's message, such as the immortal true nature mentioned in the red gold book in Ziji Palace, etc.
However, these two kinds of things are usually encountered but not sought.
And it requires a lot of energy to explore.
Usually, the most common thing is "contact with ordinary new things".
Although the feedback is relatively weak, the advantage is that the quantity is enough. As long as you observe the appearance of all living beings carefully, it will be many times faster than realizing the truth by yourself.
Therefore, when Cui Heng and his party went to Linjiang County, they did not fly directly into the sky.
Instead, they hurried on the road in the way of ordinary people.
Walking, riding, staying...
Going to different places, meeting all kinds of different people, and appreciating different customs and cultures...
This is Cui Heng's practice.
...
Guanzhou County is the richest of the sixteen counties under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County.
But Cui Heng did not expect it to be so prosperous.
The entire Guanzhou City is as big as two Changfeng Prefectures in the lower world. There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. There are countless customers walking in without the shopkeepers shouting at the door.
There are so many people on the street that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are shoulder to shoulder and sweating profusely. With such a large number of people, there is almost no store without customers.
The lively and joyful atmosphere fills the entire street, making people feel like it is a festival.
Although this is a main road after entering the city, it is relatively spacious and the most prosperous, but other streets outside this main road are also crowded with people.
It can be said that there is almost no deserted place in the entire Guanzhou City.
Such a situation, not to mention the two people from Daqi, Hong Kangye and Sun, even Cui Heng, who has seen the world, could not help but be surprised.
It was too prosperous.
Such a huge population size and such a huge business community simply exceeded the concept of a normal ancient society.
In Cui Heng's view, even the Lujun City that he had governed could not be compared with the Guanzhou City in front of him because it had not been developed for a long time.
The people in Guanzhou City should have the best life among the people he had seen since he traveled through time.
No one else.
"Young Master, many people here speak with different accents, which are very different from each other. There should be quite a few outsiders, and there are many warriors."
Zhang Shuming said to Cui Heng after carefully observing the surroundings, "I'm afraid they are all people who have fled from the pursuit of the immortal sect. Guanzhou County belongs to Linjiang County. For some warriors whose cultivation level is not very high, coming here should be just right."
When walking in the mortal world, calling someone an immortal is too ostentatious, so Cui Heng asked Zhang Shuming and others to temporarily change their name to "Young Master".
"Compared to my Great Qi, this place is simply a paradise on earth." Hong Kang said tremblingly, "I originally thought that the peace of the Great Zhou was rare in the world, but I never thought that the county town of Linjiang County could be so prosperous."
After arriving in the Great Zhou, he has been marveling at the peace of the Great Zhou.
After all, the Great Qi has been made miserable under the rule of the Immortal Sect, and people are starving to death everywhere.
Therefore, before coming to Guanzhou County, he thought he had seen the most peaceful and quiet country in the world.
But after arriving in Linjiang County, the prosperity here once again refreshed his cognition.
This is not even a county town, but just a county town on the periphery. Even the richest county town is just a county, but it is so prosperous. It is more prosperous
than the capital of Daqi.
"Your Majesty is so virtuous, and Pei Tianren is also a famous scholar in governing the world. It is a great blessing for Da Zhou to have these two people." Hong Kang couldn't help but praise them.
In his heart, he couldn't help but compare Da Qi, where he had lived for nearly a hundred years, with this place, but he soon gave up the comparison.
Because there is no comparison at all.
Compared with Da Zhou, Da Qi is completely rubbish, just a puppet manipulated by the immortal gate.
Cui Heng looked around and couldn't help but marvel.
Li Mingqiong and Pei Qingshu did a good job in governing the country. No wonder Da Zhou was so solid, and it was difficult for people from the immortal gate to infiltrate.
"Don't just sigh." Cui Heng chuckled, "Come with me to visit this great Guanzhou City."
"Yes, young master." Zhang Shuming and Hong Kang said in unison.
Cui Heng took everyone to play around in Guanzhou City, and only found an inn to stay in at dusk as a place to rest.
Hong Shen was just a child after all, and he got tired quickly after playing all day. Hong Kang also had a rare chance to relax and rested quickly.
Zhang Shuming came to Cui Heng's room late at night
. "Greetings, Immortal." Zhang Shuming saluted respectfully and then said, "Immortal, I have already found out who is secretly watching us on weekdays."
"It must be the people of the court and Linjiang Pei family." Cui Heng smiled.
In fact, although they didn't encounter anything along the way, there were people secretly watching them.
At first it was just a group of innates, and later they became inner realms.
After they arrived at Guanzhou County, a Divine Realm person actually showed up to follow them in secret.
"Yes." Zhang Shuming nodded and said, "There are two groups of people. The smaller ones are the imperial court patrol guards, who are in charge of patrols across the country and strictly prevent people from the immortal gates from sneaking into the country.
"The larger group has only increased near Linjiang County. They should be sent by the Naxian Hall of the Linjiang Pei family, which gathers many inner realms, Divine Realms, and even human immortals as guests."
"Are there human immortals as well? "Cui Heng was a little surprised to hear that.
In this Tianxu Realm, the immortal-level masters come from only two sources, either the imperial court or the nine surnames and twenty-four families. There are almost no immortal-level masters who practice on their own.
The appearance of human immortals means that strong people from aristocratic families should have joined the Linjiang Pei family.
"It is said that the two immortals came from the Maojun Tang family and the Guichuan Song family respectively." Zhang Shuming explained, "They were all once wealthy families, one of the nine surnames and twenty families.
“But in order to hunt down someone and vent their anger, the immortal sect destroyed their families. At the same time, nine other powerful families were also destroyed, a total of ten.
“These two immortals were lucky to escape. They could only hide their identities and dared not show their true faces. With no other choice, they went to the Naxian Hall of the Linjiang Pei family for help.
"However, the Naxian Hall of the Linjiang Pei family is only managed by a young inner realm master named Pei Yuezhi, and the deputy hall master is only a divine realm master named Chen Shihui. How can he control two human immortals?" "The
Guichuan Song family of the Maojun Tang family?" Cui Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I remember that they were among the aristocratic families who descended to the lower world to collect sky dew crystals. What were their names?"
"Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong are both human immortals who have descended to the lower world. You have also seen them, Immortal." Zhang Shuming reported. With his cultivation at the peak of the divine realm, it was not difficult for him to investigate some things.
"That's strange. I let them go, but after returning to the upper world, they were destroyed by the immortal sect they were loyal to." Cui Heng chuckled, "As for Naxian Hall, it should be Hui Shi's work."
Chen Shihui's name is really easy to guess for people who are familiar with Hui Shi.
"Is it him?" Zhang Shuming was not very familiar with Hui Shi, and it was only then that he suddenly realized and nodded, "Yes, he is already a celestial being, and it is naturally easy for him to control two immortals." "
Then let's stay here first and take a look at the new things here." Cui Heng smiled, and at the same time his eyes looked towards the direction of Linjiang City, "It is estimated that someone will come to find us soon, and there will be not many days of leisure."
...
In the county magistrate's office in Guanzhou County.
Wang Qian, the county magistrate, was walking back and forth anxiously, looking outside from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.
Under the cover of night, only his footsteps echoed in the huge county office.
The county magistrate, the chief clerk, the county lieutenant and others were standing aside, their faces full of helplessness.
It was obvious that they didn't know how to persuade him.
Wang Qian looked outside again and found that it was empty again. He just looked at the few people present and sighed, "Mr. Tang and Mr. Song haven't arrived yet?"
Most of the people in the entire Guanzhou County Office have already belonged to the Naxian Hall of the Linjiang Pei family.
"No." The county magistrate shook his head and said, "I have already arranged yamen runners in various places. As long as the two gentlemen arrive, there will definitely be yamen runners to report."
"Your Highness, you are a little too impatient." The chief clerk couldn't help but said, "Do you worry about those people who came during the day?"
"Nonsense!" Wang Qian glared at the chief clerk, then sat down and said, "You are not in the realm of gods, so you can't feel the terrible pressure emanating from those people.
"Especially the young man called 'Young Master'. In my divine perception, he is like a god who has descended from heaven and possesses boundless power. I am afraid that only true immortals have such power. "
"So exaggerated? "The county lieutenant was also quite surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He knew Wang Qian's strength very well, but if Wang Qian's description was true, could it be that an immortal from the immortal sect had infiltrated?
This is a big deal for both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the entire Linjiang Pei family.
"Your Highness, report to the county lieutenant!"
At this time, a yamen runner hurriedly trotted over from outside and said to Wang Qian, "Your Highness, Mr. Tang Huaiyi and Mr. Song Zhong have arrived and have been placed in the Yayuan restaurant at the south city gate."
"That's great, I'll go to see them now, they're saved! "Wang Qian was overjoyed. He didn't even have time to change his clothes. He ran to the south gate of the city in his loose official uniform.
The chief clerk and the county lieutenant hurriedly followed.
The Yayuan restaurant at the south gate of Guanzhou County is the most upscale restaurant here. The two immortals came in a hurry. Arranging them here is to maintain the minimum respect.
They will not be officially welcomed to the county government until the next day.
However, Wang Qian was obviously panicking. As soon as the two arrived, he led his people to the restaurant Yayuan, "Wang Qian, the magistrate of Guanzhou, has met two immortals."
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong looked at the magistrate in surprise, and their hearts were filled with doubts.
The two were indeed transferred overnight because of Wang Qian's request for help. They only knew that Wang Qian had encountered extremely huge troubles here. He had originally expected difficulties at the level of human immortals, so he asked both of them to come.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tang Huaiyi asked first.
"The request for help we received only mentioned the degree of danger, but did not provide a specific description." Song Zhong said in a deep voice, "Explain the situation."
"It is possible that a human immortal from the immortal sect has sneaked into Guanzhou City, and brought people with him." Wang Qian said very cautiously, "I would like to ask the two immortals to meet the 'young master' in secret.
"See if you can find out his identity and background, and confirm whether he is a member of the immortal sect, and whether he has bad intentions?"
