Chapter 114: Eastern Zhou Xing
Since the ascension of the ancient immortals and Buddhas, the land of Shenzhou has fallen into a period of chaos in the world and a period of competition for hegemony.
After thousands of years of fighting, since 5,000 years ago, the Ten Great Cultivators have gradually maintained the entire land of Shenzhou in a relatively peaceful state.
Northern Han, Eastern Zhou, Southern Tang.
The ten major sects belong to the Three Kingdoms and are the state religions of the Three Kingdoms.
The wars in the ordinary world gradually decreased, and the real battles were often replaced by battles between cultivators.
Moreover, although there are occasional wars in the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, they all belong to the descendants of Yan and Huang no matter what.
At least in the past thousands of years, under the pressure of the holy war of the Western Rakshasa Kingdom, on the eve of the 100-year holy war, it is the most peaceful and friendly years for the three kingdoms.
Wu County is the easternmost city of the Northern Han Dynasty, located at the junction of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This is the blessing of the imminent holy war.
The products of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are naturally different, the pearls and seafood of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have always been the best things in the eyes of the nobles of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the people of the Northern Han Dynasty participate in the mountain treasures are also the existence of the rich people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to show off, but although the Three Kingdoms rarely have major battles, but the friction between cities and counties is not rare, and the war is chaotic together, and the goods are naturally difficult to circulate.
On the eve of this hundred years of holy war, during the years of almost absolute peace between the three kingdoms, Wu County, which used to be only a poor border pass, turned into a prosperous and abnormal commercial city.
A carriage was mixed in with a group of caravans out of Wu County and entered Qian County, which belonged to the Eastern Zhou Kingdom.
Wang Xiao sat in the driver's seat and said with some apprehension: "Ruoxue, is it really okay......?
Mo Ruoxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, our Momen has some special secret techniques, unless I take the initiative to lift it, it is impossible for ordinary people below the Heaven Rank to have too deep an impression of my face." So even if I show up in front of so many people in Chu County, in fact, no one should remember what I look like. ”
"What about me?" Wang Xiao hadn't finished asking, and when he saw the look on Mo Ruoxue's face that seemed to be smiling, he suddenly realized. Happy said: "Hehe...... Well, then I'm relieved, it's actually pretty good. ”
Mo Ruoxue glanced at Wang Xiao with a little shyness, and didn't speak, just sat quietly next to Wang Xiao, playing with the corners of her clothes with her little hands.
After entering Qianjun, Mo Ruoxue came out of the demon refining pot, rode in a carriage with Wang Xiao, and walked together in the sun.
Lao Hei also stayed in the pot with great interest, and practiced with a power that Wang Xiao couldn't understand.
A hundred years of jihad is imminent, and now is the most peaceful period between the three kingdoms. During this period, the three countries always treated "foreign guests" very preferentially. Because no one can afford to be charged with "destroying harmony in a critical period".
Therefore, after Wang Xiao entered the border of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he appeared more free.
Qianjun is also the same as Wu County at this time, it is a difficult "temporary" commercial metropolis, countless businessmen, including some Xiuzhen businessmen, are crazy traders, but unfortunately Wang Xiao has something in his heart, so he naturally does not dare to stay here, so he only hurries with Mo Ruoxue.
Wang Xiao's destination is overseas.
The vast sea, the island is like a star.
Momen attaches various formations and tricks to each island, making each island a tiger's den in Longtan. Ordinary earth-level masters didn't dare to go to the island at all, and under the powerful mechanism formation of Momen, unless it was a heaven-level master in person, it would not be able to cause the slightest damage to Momen's overseas foundation at all.
Even if the Heaven Rank Master arrived, the Mo Sect also had Hidden Elders guarding the various islands, cooperating with the mechanism formation, even the Heaven Rank Master would not dare to attack easily. Moreover, with the powerful mechanism of Momen, many islands can even be moved. In this way, the ten major sects did not dare to attack easily.
Therefore, after countless masters have fallen overseas for thousands of years, even though the ten major sects clearly know that Momen has a base overseas, they do not have any act of "exterminating the Demon Gate". Even after the holy war with the Rakshasa Kingdom, he was much more "tolerant" of Momen, as long as Momen did not come out to sweep the face of the ten major sects on the bright side, the ten major sects were almost accustomed to "peaceful coexistence" with Momen.
Every night, Mo Ruoxue naturally returned to the pot to rest, but Wang Xiao lost the opportunity to live in the hotel together. Of course, Wang Xiao would definitely not dare to put forward this "wish".
As the interior of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty deepened, Wang Xiao gradually became aware of the difference between the Eastern Zhou people and the Northern Han people.
In the Northern Han Dynasty, ordinary cultivators wore Confucian shirts. Even when fighting, it is a short dress in the style of a Confucian shirt.
However, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was dominated by Taoist robes.
The Northern Han Dynasty adopted Confucianism as the state religion, while the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was the country of Taoism.
In the cultivation world, the strength of the Eastern Zhou is the strongest, because the Eastern Zhou has four of the ten major sects in the cultivation realm.
These four schools located in the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and were canonized and relied on by the Eastern Zhou Emperor were "Wuliang Mountain", "Dream Butterfly Palace", "Xiaoyaomen" and "Yuan Tianzong".
Because of the influence of the four major sects, other small and medium-sized sects in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have gradually become Taoist sects in the evolution of more than 10,000 years. Other sects such as Confucianism and Buddhism or Yang Zhu were either destroyed, converted to other courts, or went into exile. Wang Xiao knows very little about these four sects, and basically only knows that Mengdie Palace and Xiaoyao Gate are from "Zhuangzi", but Wuliangshan and Yuan Tianzong don't know why. Based on the teenager's self-esteem or vanity, Wang Xiao didn't want to ask Mo Ruoxue these questions.
Along the way, Wang Xiao gradually felt an awkwardness, which was mainly manifested in the ordinary people he saw along the way.
Whether it was on the avenue, in the village, or in the township, Wang Xiao felt a kind of numbness on the faces of these people. Wang Xiao had hardly seen them arguing, no matter what happened.
This situation Wang Xiao has never seen on the faces of the people of Chu County.
Just now, Wang Xiao saw a young man in a Taoist robe riding a horse and rushing across the avenue, knocking three people away along the way, and countless people fell because they wanted to dodge. However, whether it was the people who were knocked over or those who were squeezed, these people always got up silently and continued their work anew, without the slightest reaction.
They didn't even show the slightest expression of anger or sadness.
The further you go to the interior of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the more obvious this feeling becomes, and Wang Xiao is full of doubts and awkwardness.
If it was in Chu County, even if the common people still didn't dare to argue with the cultivators, at least, they would show their anger.
Wang Xiao also gradually discovered that in Chu County, although the status of cultivators is also very high, it still seems to be far inferior to the Taoist priests in Su County. If the cultivators of Chu County were in the bazaar of the secular people, they still had to spend money to buy things, but in Su County, Wang Xiao saw more than once that those Taoist priests took things from various stalls at will, and did not mean to give money at all. And those vendors had no intention of collecting money.
"This, this is too outrageous, isn't it! Isn't this a robbery?" Wang Xiao was surprised.
Mo Ruoxue shook her head slightly: "In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this is normal. ”
