Chapter 15: The Great Xia Empire
The Great Xia Empire is more than 500 billion miles longitudinal and horizontal, with the East China Sea in the east, the Purple Pole Dynasty in the north, the Bliss Buddha Kingdom in the south, and the Central Celestial Empire in the west.
And Qian County is an extremely ordinary one among these millions of counties. It has 18 prefectures under its jurisdiction and is in charge of more than 200 cities and counties, and if you want to cross it on foot, you can't complete it in a month.
I think that when Wu Xu set off from Youzhou in Zi County, he walked for forty days to reach the main city of Qian County, and almost died in the mouth of the beast a few times. But what's even more terrifying is the people, not to mention the strongman cutting the path, the tolerance calories, and even the terrifying Yin soldiers have encountered him, but he finally came to Qian County thoroughly.
And for Old Butler Tong, these difficulties are not a problem, because he is a peak refining realm true cultivator. It is a bit unbelievable that an old butler of the Li Mansion has such a high strength, but it is not uncommon for someone who was born and raised in the main city of the county.
Because everyone who lives in the main city knows that Tong Feng, the old housekeeper of Tong, is the playmate of Old Lady Li since childhood, and his own roots are qualified, Li Mansion allowed him to practice with the old lady, although his qualifications are not very good, but his sixty years of cultivation career also made him one of the first-class masters in Qian County.
Two days ago, the old housekeeper Tong invited the cow doctor to lead the group to Youzhou, Zijun, naturally not relying on everyone's feet, but riding more than a dozen popular horses, and arrived in Youzhou in only one day. The wind horse is a strange beast, but the original body is just a wild horse, but it is good at swallowing the essence of the storm and cultivating into a strange beast, and its foot strength is extremely fast, and it can travel eight thousand miles a day.
However, the popular horses ridden by Tong Feng and the others are only mid-level beasts, and if they reach a high-level or above, they can no longer be easily ridden as foot power. Because the high-level beasts have already initially developed spiritual intelligence, although it is still extremely low compared to humans, it is almost impossible for this kind of alien beasts with spiritual intelligence to be completely tamed. Unless there is a beast exorcism order condensed by the archspeller, it may betray its master at any time. However, the price of the Beast Expulsion Order is extremely expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it, it is really that the Great Spell Master is too rare, compared to the Refining Realm True Cultivator of the same strength level as the Great Spell Master, the status of the two can be said to be a world of difference. Because true cultivation is everywhere, but there may not be one great mantra in each county.
There has always been a saying in the Purple Shadow World, which says, 'Spell Dan Bing, Dao Buddha and Demon, God and Man Ghost Lin, Beast Feather Kunmu.' It is about the twelve classes of this world, whose status is decreasing one by one. Dao Buddha demons refer to many ordinary monks who cultivate the Tao and Buddha, as well as powerful demons and spirits, and above these four are the Charm Dan soldiers. The so-called 'Spell Dan Bing' can be said to be the creation of heaven and earth, the mystery of stealing the sun and the moon, the pride of the sky, and the darling of the avenue. Talisman Masters, Spell Masters, Dan Masters, and Warrior Masters are transcendent and incomparable, not only do they possess these four talents, but their cultivation speed is also faster than that of ordinary monks, just because they are born with dual root bones. In fact, the world is so big, there are so many people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the people who have roots and bones and are suitable for cultivation as none in ten thousand, and the vast majority of people are mortals who have been told that they cannot practice. Mortals do not possess any of the immortal bones or wisdom roots, and no sect faction is willing to accept them.
Just like the size of the Li Mansion, plus the clan branches, the number of people is not more than tens of thousands, but there are only more than a hundred children in the academy who are practicing. However, there have always been very faint different voices about the root bones, because the root bones seem to have suddenly appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago, almost shortly after the creation of the five immortal empires, and people with intentions have tried to find out its origin, but in the end it is still inadequate, but after all, this kind of voice is very rare, and it was drowned in the torrent of history without even having a chance to speak.
Almost all of them didn't know anything about it, just like Tong Feng, who almost stopped him from cultivating immortals from the Root Bone Test sixty years ago. He was detected with a kind of earth-walking immortal bone, which was originally qualified to cultivate immortals, but his immortal bones had a lot of impurities, so the Li Mansion argued a lot, and in the end, the old lady's father personally made a decision, and then let him follow the immortal cultivation.
If the root bone test was a little more severe, there would be no old housekeeper Tong who now rides a popular horse and travels eight thousand miles a day.
Tong Feng set off in the morning, arrived in Youzhou after sunset, and soon found Wu Xu's house, and asked Doctor Niu to treat Wu Xi'er overnight. However, the Niu Divine Doctor, known as the 'No. 1 in the Seven Counties', sat by Xi'er's bed all night, and only sighed when the sun came out, Zhong Qiying, who also hadn't slept all night, suddenly fainted in front of her when she saw this. After settling Zhong Qiying, Tong Feng and Niu Shenyi discussed for a long time, and finally decided to send one person back to Qian County to report to the old lady, and several of them continued to stay here to find a way to diagnose and treat, if there was no improvement after three days, they would take Qiying's mother and daughter to Li Mansion in Qian County.
The news arrived the morning of the second day after Wu Xu fell asleep. The old lady was speechless for a long time after getting the letter, and Hongfu on the side was a little uneasy. Originally, the two were talking about guiding Wu Xu's cultivation, but Hongfu was a hundred unwilling, and when the old lady was fair and painstakingly persuasive, the old housekeeper Tong's letter arrived. Hongfu didn't know the content of the letter, thinking that the old lady was angry with her, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
"Grandpa, Hongfu can only stay for three months when she goes home this time, and after three months, she will have to return to the sect no matter what...... Wouldn't it hurt him to let Hongfu guide others......" As she spoke, Hongfu's voice became smaller and smaller, "Grandpa, don't be angry, Hongfu...... It's true....... ”
The old lady sighed and handed the letter to Hongfu, "Look at it." ”
Hongfu took it in surprise, her beautiful eyes swept it, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then she felt a little compassionate, "Even the cow doctor is helpless......
"Hongfu," the old lady looked at her with complicated eyes, "just let Grandpa beg you, you will guide him for three months, okay?"
Hongfu is very embarrassed, she has not liked the nature of people since she was a child, not to mention the opposite sex, and in the past two days, the old lady has more or less tried some very obscure words to her, although she feels inexplicable, but she still has a little guess, which makes her even more disgusted with this person named Wu Xu. And now that her grandfather actually asked her to guide Wu Xu's cultivation, she felt funny in her heart, but her attitude was unusually firm. She thought that no matter what her grandfather thought, and whether her guess was true or not, she had to put an end to all possibilities in the moment.
Because, all this is so funny, it's just impossible, grandpa actually wants to match her with this stranger named Wu Xu!
And he, Wu Xu, is not only an ordinary person with no cultivation, the key is that he is here to defect, how much backbone can the person who defect to?
But after seeing the letter sent by the old housekeeper Tong, Hongfu also understood a little, anyway, this Wu Xu came to defect for his sister, but one yard is one yard, no good, no good.
Hongfu is determined to put an end to all possibilities at the moment, "Grandpa, it's not that Hongfu is unwilling, but grandpa, your position is unrealistic!"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and wondered how this girl seemed to know something. At this moment, the old servant who had been notified by the old lady to inform Wu Xu just now came in to tell him that Wu Gongzi was coming.
It turned out that when the old housekeeper Tong's letter arrived, the old lady thought it was good news, so he directly sent someone to inform Wu Xu, after all, he was still very sure of the cow doctor, but who would have expected that it was the current situation.
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was better to tell Wu Xu about the matter, if the disease could be cured, he would have to take the person over anyway, and then he would have to find a way.
Soon Wu Xu walked in, and his gestures were as calm as before.
For the first time in his life, the old lady was a little confused about how to speak, and suddenly thought that the two little guys didn't know each other, smiled bitterly, and was about to introduce the two, but saw that Wu Xuzheng, who was originally very calm, looked surprised and a little overwhelmed. The old lady's heart moved, and she turned her head to look at her granddaughter, but Hongfu was stunned at this time, and the old lady couldn't help but say secretly in her heart: "These two little guys, have you seen them before?"
