Chapter 1225 I’m old and can’t keep up with the times
Zhongshan County, the roof of the county governor’s mansion.
The County Magistrate's Mansion is the tallest building in Zhongshan County. Standing here, County Magistrate Zhou can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Zhongshan County.
County Magistrate Zhou stretched out his hand to grab the street scene not far away, as if he could control the entire Zhongshan County with just one hand.
The cool breeze blew at night, stirring his thoughts.
He recalled Man Gu's performance at the meeting tonight and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, making a crackling sound.
"With Man Gu here, I'm afraid this Zhongshan County is not just mine."
"Sir, this barbarian really didn't give you face at the meeting." Zhou Hai's personal guards stood behind Zhou Hai and spoke up for him.
County Magistrate Zhou shook his head and laughed: "After all, he is a disciple of the Daoist Sect and the current top scholar. It is normal for him to be a little arrogant and not take me, the county magistrate, seriously."
A hint of coldness flashed in County Magistrate Zhou's eyes: "But he also needs to know that I, Zhou Hai, spent a hundred years to get to where I am today, and it's not by being kind to others!"
"Even if he is a disciple of the Daoist Sect, so what? After all, this world belongs to Daxia. The Daoist Sect is just one of the five immortal sects."
"When you are in the officialdom of Huangzhou, you must follow the rules of the officialdom of Huangzhou."
His network of connections is all over the officialdom of Desolate State! Thinking of this, County Governor Zhou subconsciously touched the storage ring on his middle finger. This is the trump card that allows him to gallop in the officialdom of Desolate State.
"Where's the storage ring?!"
County Magistrate Zhou's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't know when his storage ring disappeared!
That is something that must not be allowed to be taken by others!
…
After finishing his night shift, on his way back to the government office, Lu Yang looked at the streets which were slightly more lively than usual in the early morning, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Old Meng, do you feel that there are too many outsiders coming to our county?"
Quyi County is not a tourist attraction, so there shouldn't be so many outsiders coming here.
"Indeed, there are a lot more. Have you noticed that these people are all cultivators, some at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation levels?"
Compared with the number of mortals, monks are extremely rare. With so many monks coming at once, this matter may not be that simple.
After returning to the yamen, the two chose to ask Man Gu.
"Oh, the number of monks is increasing because the secret realm is about to open." Man Gu explained.
"Does our county have any secret places?"
"No, it's a secret place left by a cultivator from the early Daxia period on a mountain not far from our county. It's called the Siku Secret Realm."
Man Gu came to the courtyard and pointed at a mountain in the distance. It was early morning and there was a hazy fog. The mountain was shrouded in fog, adding a bit of mystery.
"It's that mountain, called West Mountain. There is a secret place deep in West Mountain."
"The Siku Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. The secret realm is divided into three levels, corresponding to the Golden Core Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Spiritualization Stage. Cultivators in these three realms can participate in the secret realm trials."
"There will be monks appearing in all the counties near Xishan, and it will be lively for a while."
"You've only reached the Spirit Transformation Stage." Lu Yang and the other two felt a little regretful. They were thinking that if there was a secret realm of the Tribulation Crossing level, they could go in and give it a try.
They won’t get involved in the highest stage of spiritual transformation.
"Xiao Yangzi is so stupid. Only immortals can build a secret realm of the tribulation-crossing level."
"That's true. It's not easy to come across a secret realm of this level."
"There's no need to go there even if you see it." The Immortal Fairy said as a matter of course, "Anyway, they were all built by immortals. If you want the reward of a secret realm, just ask the immortal who built the secret realm for the reward."
"Well, that's not necessary." Lu Yang is thin-skinned and can't do such a thing.
In the next few days, more and more monks came to Quyi County. Although there were so many monks, probably because they did not want to cause trouble before the secret realm was opened, the monks behaved themselves and the security in Quyi County was the same as usual.
Lu Yang and his companion were strolling on the street during the day, and they could hear exclamations from time to time.
"Look, that's Kong Wen from the White Horse Temple. It's said that he has mastered the telepathy, one of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. No trick can escape his detection!"
"The Zen master of the Hanging Temple was full of praise for him."
Kongwen, wearing a cassock, placed one hand on his chest and recited the Diamond Sutra, as if he was completely oblivious to the exclamations of others around him.
"The Azure Dragon Saint of the Four Symbols Sect is here too. His Azure Dragon Fighting Technique is unrivaled in the world and can compete with sword cultivators!"
"The Four Symbols Sect also bought dragon blood for him. After bathing in the dragon blood, his Azure Dragon Fighting Technique has become slightly better, and it is difficult for magic weapons to hurt him!"
The Holy Son of Azure Dragon has a muscular body and dragon horns on his head. He is a dragon man and has many followers behind him.

"Master Brother from Tinghai Sect is here too. Ever since most of the high-ranking members of Tinghai Sect were arrested, the sect has been in decline. It is said that the remaining high-ranking members have abandoned their differences and stopped scheming against each other. They are cultivating them as the seeds of rejuvenation!"
"There is also the Saintess of the Seven Star Holy Land. They all say that she may become the next Lan Ting..."
"The Shura Sect's leader's last disciple..."
Lu Yang and the other person looked at each other, it seemed that they didn't know any of these people.
"I'm old and can't keep up with the times." Lu Yang sighed with his hands behind his back. Listening to the reactions of the people around him, it seemed that these people were very famous, but he didn't know any of them. He thought that these people must be rising stars.
"Time flies and waits for no one." Meng Jingzhou also shook his head and sighed.
"No, these people are about the same age as us. There are even several who are older than us, such as this Azure Dragon Saint."
Meng Jingzhou used his spiritual sense to investigate briefly and was able to measure the bone age of these people, and they were all of the same age.
After hearing what Lao Meng said, Lu Yang remembered that they had met the Azure Dragon Saint Son of the Four Symbols Sect for the first time, but they had seen the White Tiger Saint Son at the border of Da Xia when they were in the foundation-building stage.
At that time, Lu Yang had just learned the Arhat Fist and was kind enough to shave the head of the White Tiger Saint.
“People of my age are at the Spirit Transformation Stage.” Lu Yang thought that people of his age would at least be at the Void Refinement Stage.
At the very least, the people of his age that he had met were all in the Void Refinement Stage, such as Man Gu, Li Haoran, Tao Yaoye, Lanting, and Shi Chan.
Even Zhao Po is in the Void Refinement Stage.
"Boss, give me two fried dough sticks." The two men passed by the fried dough stick stall and felt hungry.
"Alas, this is the disadvantage of practicing too fast. I have no common language with people of the same age." The two sighed one after another. Perhaps this is the price of entering the Tribulation Period.
Kong Wen passed by two constables and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because his telepathy had just begun, he could not yet control it very well. He used it all the time to listen to the thoughts of those around him.
But the two detectives were so terrifyingly quiet that one could not hear their thoughts at all!
Who are they?! Lu Yang was eating fried dough sticks when he noticed Kong Wen was looking at him with telepathy, revealing an unfathomable smile.
The two men passed by Kong Wen, and Kong Wen stood there in a daze, with the message from one of the two men echoing in his mind.
"If I were you, I wouldn't tell anyone about our relationship."
