Chapter 16: A Thousand Years Ago
"Ang, yes, this Taiqing City is not only garrisoned by Yuanying monks, but also has the Taishang Xuanmen Array," Lin Xin said with a smile.
"Taishang Xuanmen Array? What kind of formation is this? Mo Yang searched for Ying Su's memories, but did not find any related memories, and asked with some curiosity.
Lin Xin smiled proudly and said: "This is too powerful to hear my master say in the Xuanmen Array, if the True Monarch in the early stage of the Yuan Infant can preside over the big array and kill the early Yuan Infant stage, it can trap the middle stage for more than an hour." ”
"And what if it's later?" Mo Yang asked.
This question made Lin Xin stop: "There are very few monks in the late Yuan Infant period, as far as our Taiqing Sect is concerned, the sect master and the Great Elder are in the late Yuan Infant stage, and most of the remaining twenty-eight Yuan Infant elders are in the early stage, and only seven are in the middle stage." ”
Mo Yang frowned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "There are nearly ten monks in the late stage of the Nine Demon Sect, nearly fifty monks in the middle stage, and nearly a hundred monks in the early stage, and all the Yuan Babies of the Taiqing Sect are only thirty. That's a bit of a big gap."
"The total number of Yuan Infant Monks is only thirty," Mo Yang sighed with some emotion.
"You're still too little, you must know that in this Eastern Regions, our Taiqing Sect is the first sect. Like the Yuqing Sect and the Shangqing Sect, the Yuanying Monks are only about twenty. And the sum of the Seven Demon Killing Sect Yuan Babies is less than twenty," Lin Xin tilted his head and gave Mo Yang science popularization.
"Yuqing Sect, Shangqing Sect, Seven Killing Demon Sect?" Mo Yang really didn't know the distribution of power on this continent.
"Hee-hee, I'll give you some science. The continent where we are located is called Tianxuan Continent, and this Tianxuan Continent is divided into four regions: Eastern Regions, Southern Wilderness, Xiling, and Northern Plains. The Eastern Regions are ruled by the three gates of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing plus the Demon Gate of the Seven Killing Demon Sects, the Southern Wilderness is ruled by a superpower, the Great Su Empire, Xiling is ruled by large and small Buddhist sects, and the Northern Principle is that the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Demon Clan are jointly ruled," Lin Xin said with a grin.
"Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, isn't this three clear" Mo Yang laughed and complained.
"Yes, I think so too, but I heard from the master that our three sects were originally derived from a super sect," Lin Xin thought for a while and said.
"How strong that sect is," Mo Yang sighed a little, and said secretly at the same time, in this way, the sum of the three sects is indeed not much worse than the Nine Demon Sect.
Lin Xin paused and said, "It seems to have split from the three sects nearly a thousand years ago, and that super sect is called the Daoqing Sect."
"What? Dao Qing Sect? Mo Yang looked shocked.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xin was taken aback by Mo Yang's voice and asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's nothing, it just feels like the three sects are diverging from one sect, how powerful the Dao Qing Sect is" Mo Yang put away his shocked expression and said slowly.
Lin Xin didn't think much about it when she heard this, and continued: "According to my master, it seems that something big happened nearly a thousand years ago to cause the division, but she herself doesn't know exactly what happened. ”
Mo Yang's heart moved when he heard this, "According to this time, Dao Qingzong was still there a thousand years ago, so the Win Su clone may be a thousand years ago at the earliest, which means that I have traveled to the past." So what happened a thousand years ago that made the Dao Qing Sect and the Nine Demon Sect disappear in history, and the Dao Qing Sect is just that, the Nine Demon Sect has the Yuan Shen Monk Ying Su, what a powerful force can make it disappear" Mo Yang was very curious about what happened a thousand years ago at this time.
"The Southern Wilderness is ruled by an empire, so how strong is this empire?" Mo Yang thought for a while and asked.
Lin Xin tilted her head when she heard this: "I heard from the master that there are hundreds of Guangyuan Infant Monks of the Great Su Empire in the Southern Wilderness, and the others don't seem to be very clear to her, so she only told me to be vigilant when I encounter people from the Southern Wilderness." ”
The two chatted sentence by sentence, and before they knew it, it was evening.
Taihe City, backed by the Taihe Mountains in the west, is one of several branches of the Taiqing Mountains and is a city located in the southern part of the Taiqing sphere of influence.
Taihe City is not too big, it can't be compared with the Taiqing City that Mo Yang has been to before, and most of the residents in this Taihe City are just ordinary people, and the city lord is just a monk in the early stage of foundation building in the Taiqing Sect. In the Taiqing Sect's sphere of influence, regardless of the size of the city, these city lords are all Taiqing disciples, and they will be rotated every once in a while.
Occasionally, there will be some Qi cultivators in the city, and some of these Qi cultivators are disciples of Taiqing, and the cities within the Taiqing area will recruit disciples every fifteen years, and those of the right age can sign up to participate.
Once it is found that there is a qualification to cultivate immortals, it will be brought back to the sect, and if it is not built within thirty years, it will be dismissed from the mountain, and it can only be named as a disciple of the outer sect of Taiqing, and some of these people will return to their hometowns to enjoy the following days.
The other part is to travel around in the hope of getting closer to the adventure. As a result, there will be a situation where immortal cultivators and mortals will live together within the scope of the Taiqing Sect.
Although they live in the same city as ordinary people, each city is also divided into a city area dedicated to immortal cultivators and a city area for mortals.
This Taihe City is divided into four major urban districts, southeast, northwest and northwest, of which the North City District is the Taiqing disciple stationing area, mainly the city lord's mansion and the city management department and the Taiqing disciple office, the building in the north area is the highest and most magnificent in the entire Taihe City.
In the western area, there are various large and small markets, as well as immortal cultivators who open various restaurants, teahouses, and so on.
The architecture of the West District may not be as magnificent as it is, but in terms of a variety of architectural styles from different places and popularity, the West District is the most prosperous place in the whole Taihe City.
To the west of Taihe City is Taihe Mountain, this Taihe Mountain, not big, not small, there are also a lot of spiritual grasses and materials that are useful for Qi cultivators.
Moreover, there are also a lot of beasts and monsters that have opened their minds to live in it, and occasionally there are many disciples of scattered or small sects who enter the mountain to practice, or earn cultivation resources, so there are countless shops of various immortal cultivators in the entire west of the city.
Ordinary people live in the second southeastern district, and in the southern district, some wealthy merchants live in them, although these people are not monks, but they may have ancestors who have been monks and left them a lot of property.
With the help of these properties, they run a lot of business, and they are all petty in making money every day, so the properties built are all luxurious and how to come, and they are full of some trenches. Compared to the style of the Northwest 2nd District, it is very different.
On the other hand, the eastern part of the city is full of uneven bungalows, and all of them are inhabited by poor families such as handymen and small traders and hawkers who work at the lowest level. Of course, there are also some scoundrels who don't do anything, and down-and-out families who have moved from other districts also live here.
Lin Xin and Mo Yang finally came to the outside of Taihe City at sunset, and the destination of their trip was the Lin family, a super family in Taihe City located in Nancheng District.
If you want to ask who is the most famous ordinary family in Taihe City, nine out of ten Taihe people will say the Lin family in the southern district.
The Lin family is one of the best in Taihe City, and the mansion alone covers an area of dozens of acres, and this area is incapable of being surpassed except for the City Lord's Mansion.
The Lin family is not only a large area, the Lin family has only been in Taihe City for more than 200 years, but it controls more than half of the various restaurants and teahouse industries in Taihe City, and even Xicheng District is involved. Why is it that an ordinary family can be involved in the monk's property and not be targeted?
That's because every city lord of Taihe City for nearly 200 years will visit the Lin family on the first day of his appointment, and it is rumored that the ancestor of the Lin family is the elder brother of a high-ranking person in Taiqing Sect, and each city lord will be told to take care of one or two when he takes office, which also creates today's situation.
