Chapter 216: The King of the County and the Inspector

The above discussion led Zhou Yang to come to a conclusion: cultivators are born from among mortals. It is the outstanding elite among mortals, those who have understood part of the Heavenly Dao, that is, those who have realized some natural laws and laws.

At this time, he recalled the scene when he drank Huanglin wine with Cheng Shijie, when Cheng Shijie was so proud that he improvised ten Confucian scriptures.

At this time, I think about it, those ten sentences are actually similar to the content recorded in the classics.

"On the first day of the gathering of immortals, all things are full of energy. Isn't these two sentences exactly the same as those recorded in the scriptures, such as the appearance of the Mighty One and the wisdom of all things?

This couldn't help but make Zhou Yang's mind appear like a picture: the world first opened, a chaos, a group of immortals in fluttering clothes fell from the sky, and then the big sleeves flicked, the chaos dispersed, and everything was spiritual, especially humans and beasts first. The immortals looked down from the air, nodded frequently, and then floated away.

Many years later, it turned to another picture: a group of demon beasts chased humans, humans ran desperately, and the last ones were swallowed by the monsters, and the humans in front of them could only escape by fighting harder.

Running and running, the human beings at the front suddenly became stronger, reflexively fighting with the demon beasts, and did not fall behind in the melee!

However, the rest of the people took this opportunity to flee, and then hid in the mountains and forests, and lived a life of fear. Some of the humans who fought against the monsters were also exterminated, but some of them killed the monsters and became more powerful.

At this time, the face of the immortal appeared in the sky again, and the face smiled when it saw the scene below.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yang suddenly woke up, already drenched in cold sweat, as if he was also fighting against the ancient beast, but the result was unknown.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head vigorously, but the previous scene was still vivid.

Although he didn't know the outcome of the fight, he seemed to see that those who fought with the demon beasts had all become cultivators, and those who escaped were naturally still mortals.

Could this be the reason why mortals and cultivators came into being?

He shook his head, of course it wouldn't be that simple.

To this day, most people practice the Tao in order to gain a longer life and greater strength, which is against the heavens.

Because when the heavens and the earth first opened, the longevity of human beings was fixed, but under the continuous exploration and struggle of human beings, the longevity was greatly improved.

After the cultivator paid a price that was many times greater than that of mortals, Shou Yuan doubled several times, and even longer, and his strength was even extraordinary, which was definitely against the heavens.

The immortal in the picture showed a smiling face, could this be a test for all mortals?

You can cultivate against the heavens, as long as you are strong, as long as you can withstand the tests and trials of the heavens, then you can become a cultivator, or even a powerful one.

So what about the end of cultivation? Could it be the path of immortality? And who determined the way of heaven, and who controlled it behind it?

His divergent thinking began to kick in again, but it was extremely draining.

I couldn't think about it anymore, there was already a tingling pain at the Shentai, Zhou Yang hurriedly swallowed a Divine Cultivation Pill, gathered all his mind, closed his eyes and breathed.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing, didn't you drink too much last night?" came the voice of a tiger outside the house.

Zhou Yang was awakened, and suddenly opened his eyes, but his complexion was obviously much better.

At this time, it was already bright outside, and it turned out that he had forgotten the passage of time as soon as he was settled.

"Third brother, are you in a hurry?"

"Exactly, they're all packed up and waiting for you. By the way, this is mortal clothes, change into them. As he spoke, the tiger handed Zhou Yang a coarse cloth shirt.

After changing into his robe and coming to the courtyard, sure enough, there were more than a dozen people standing, all leading their horses to look at him, Zhou Yang nodded to everyone a little embarrassed.

Out of the Yuntong Inn, the group went directly along the streets of the city to the east.

The Nine Heavens County City was much smaller than Tuyan City, and after a while, they left the city.

The official road ahead stretched to the east, and at first it was lined with trees, and several miles out of it were patches of crops. Although the field does not have the fragrance of spiritual herbs and elixirs, the spring breeze blows, and there are bursts of green seedlings in the mouth and nose, which has a different taste.

Song Laohu and Linghu Deyi were in front, followed by Zhou Yang, Pu Zheng and Hu Zhiran, and a group of nine people galloped on the official road.

The official road was unusually dry, and after the people and horses, the dust was flying, and the few passers-by were startled to dodge. In their eyes, although these people are dressed very ordinary, they are not ordinary people who can ride tall horses.

Further east, the closest to the Jiutian County is Suncheon County, the two cities are about 500 li, and there is a forest in the middle of a radius of hundreds of miles, and then there are dozens of villages and towns.

Although the distance of 500 miles was not far, they also ran for most of the day, and the people were fine, but the horses could not stand it anymore, so they had to stop and rest, feed some forage before walking.

At this time, the place where they stopped was a small town, there were only two streets in the town, and everyone led their horses all the way to inquire only to learn that there was only one small inn in the town, but there were so many of them, it was definitely impossible to live.

Fortunately, they only need to feed the horses and do not live in the store.

But this small inn didn't have much forage, so the shopkeeper had to find some in the town, which barely fed the horses of Zhou Yang and others.

After staying for about an hour, the people set out on their way again.

"If this is a green wolf, it doesn't hurt to run thousands of miles, but this horse ......" Bai Meng muttered to Lin Cheng in a low voice.

"Why don't you get a green wolf for your kid, and make sure you run crookedly!" Lin Cheng said with a grin.

"Forget it, you might as well get it yourself. Bai Meng said depressedly.

Beyond this town, it is known as the Sunless Forest.

It was already early afternoon, and the sun was warm, shining in the dense forest ahead, giving people a sense of peace.

It wasn't until everyone entered the forest that they knew why it was called the Sunless Forest.

The trees here are extremely luxuriant, the branches and leaves above are connected, impermeable to the wind, there is no sunlight in the forest at all, and the temperature is much lower than outside, Zhou Yang feels that even his divine sense has been affected.

This official road into the forest is also wide and narrow, and can only accommodate two horses in parallel.

According to the people in the town, there are many wild beasts in this forest, and they will never dare to cross it if there are few people.

Zhou Yang and his entourage didn't care about this, they were immortals in the mortal world, how could they be afraid of some beasts that didn't enter the stream.

As if to prove their strength, they walked for dozens of miles without seeing a decent beast, and there were only some timid animals such as hares and sheep along the way.

This made Apricot very depressed, she wanted to get some game to roast, but these little things were very clever, and she didn't catch any of them.

"Whoosh!" suddenly came from the sound of breaking through the air.

Everyone was startled and dodged one after another.

An arrow whistled through the crowd and scurried behind them.

"Enemy attack!" Hu Zhiran took the lead in reacting, and immediately pulled out a long knife with a cold light, and everyone also grabbed the reins, and each showed his blade magic weapon to be on guard.

Zhou Yang frowned at first, and then his expression relaxed.

It wasn't until a dozen breaths had passed that I felt a figure shaking in front of me, and after a while, everyone saw it.

At the bend of the official road ahead, a group of people and horses appeared, led by a young man riding a jujube red horse, dressed in a pale cyan brocade robe, and holding a purple-gold curved bow in his hand, looking over with a gloomy face.

"Lord Wang, it should be those people in front of you who scared away, go and take a look!" A thin middle-aged man who looked like a guard rode on a horse, with a flattering face, and said to the young man with a careful smile.

And the guards in the back, looking at Zhou Yang and the others, were a little gloating.

"Hmph, ask this king well, if they really scared that beast away, they will have to teach a heavy lesson!"

"Yes, my lord. I'll have to ask, if they did...... Hey, hey, you guys come with me. The thin middle-aged man waved his hand, took a few guards and left the team, and came to Zhou Yang and his party in a few breaths.

Song Laohu and the others had already seen those people, and they were all relieved, although they heard the threatening words of the thin middle-aged man, they put their weapons and magic weapons into their storage bags.

"Where did the hillbilly come from, dare to scare away the little beast that the prince fancies, do you know how much of a crime you have committed?" said the thin middle-aged man.

Hu Zhiran was in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Little beast? This Dao, oh brother, I haven't seen any little beasts? I don't know what crime I have committed, and I ask Brother Tai to make it clear!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had to get used to calling the other party a Taoist friend, but as soon as he spoke, he knew that it was inappropriate, so he immediately changed his name to Brother Taidao.

"Hmph, no, it can't be!" the thin middle-aged man glared and shouted.

"Hehe, why can't this, you are a little unreasonable to speak!" Hu Zhiran still smiled.

"What if you don't be reasonable! Do you know who we are?"

"Hehe, I don't know, what is your identity?" Hu Zhiran's smile was still a little playful.

"Hmph, I scared you to death when I said it! This one is the nephew of the current saint, the king of Fucheng County! And the prince is the northwest patrol envoy of my Jin Chengguo, and the ten counties in the northwest are all under the jurisdiction of the prince!" The middle-aged man looked proud, and seemed to be extremely glorious about his status as a minion.

"Oh, the official is not small, what can he do with me?"

"Hey, I said boy, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? If you don't hurry up to bow down when you see my prince, in that case, my prince may be happy, and he will spare the sin of disturbing you!"

The middle-aged man was a little annoyed, and he said the name of the prince, but this guy in a coarse cloth shirt still looked unhurried, and he really didn't know why he was afraid.

"Bow down?" Hu Zhiran raised his eyebrows.

This sentence completely angered him, the elite disciple of the Xuanfu Sect only gave this great gift to the big people above the elders in the sect, a small mortal dared to do this, what kind of bullshit do you The prince and inspector of the emperor of Jin Chengguo provoked me, and he was killed.

Hu Zhiran just wanted to have a seizure, but the middle-aged man saw Xing'er in the crowd at a glance.
