In October of the 49th year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the autumn wind rises, the autumn sun is gorgeous, and the autumn is high and cool, which is a good season for climbing high and wild travel.

There is a mountain range in the west of Qi Changfu in the Great Jin Dynasty, which is called the Dead Wood Ridge in the place, stretching from the Ningping Mountain Range next to Qi Changfu, and has such a special reputation because there are many kinds of dry forests in the mountain range.

It's just that although there are many dry branches and firewood in this mountain range that can be picked up, the people in the surrounding mountain villages are rarely willing to go deep into the mountains, and it is said that there are terrifying demon corpses hidden in the mountains, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, and even the soul will be swallowed by it.

Of course, there are many such legends passed down by word of mouth, and there are almost no people who have actually seen demon corpses.

But every year, there are indeed some bold villagers, or outsiders, who enter the mountains but fail to come out, saying that they are eaten by the demon corpses in the mountains.

Therefore, in the surrounding mountain villages where Kumuling is located, the villagers rarely go deep into the mountains to collect firewood and hunt, let alone travel to the mountains in the spring.

In the evening of this day, in front of a mountain village at the foot of the outer mountains of Deadwood Ridge, a figure came out from the depths of the mountain.

The tall man, dressed in the blue-gray hooded robe that travelers often wear, seemed to hold a small snow-white beast in his arms, and as he walked, he poked his head out and peeked out.

He saw this mountain village from a distance, and in a few shakes of his figure, he came to the front of this mountain village, and then walked into the village casually.

At this time, it is the time for every family to have dinner in this mountain village, and when they see outsiders entering the village, this kind of village where few people come inevitably attracts the attention of many idle people in the village.

Soon after this man entered the village, the villagers also saw his exposed appearance outside his hood, and this man looked like a young man with a young face, with a ponytail hanging down to the back of his waist.

Judging from his gestures and the texture of the robe he was wearing, it can be known that this person is by no means an ordinary commoner, perhaps a noble son of a family.

This made the villagers even more curious, how could such a noble son appear alone in a barren mountain village like theirs?

This is also too unusual, the son of a noble family, there is no one to accompany him, what are you doing in such a barren mountain and wilderness?

Could it be that he went out to play with his clansmen and got separated somewhere, or he encountered some accident and escaped from it, but it doesn't look like his form.

In addition, looking at the temperament of this prince, walking in this mountain village path, it is like walking in his own yard, holding the little beast in his arms, not touching the head of the little beast a few times, which inevitably makes those villagers look very strange.

But after a while, these villagers didn't dare to look indiscriminately, they found that this noble man was not simple, as if they could know that they were looking at him, every time that look swept over, it seemed to be able to penetrate their heads directly, so that they couldn't help but tremble, and they didn't dare to look at it more.

When the young man entered the village, he also looked around at the houses in the village, and then walked directly to the house in the village.

There are only about 100 households in this kind of barren mountain village, and it is equivalent to the village head, who handles some of the things that happen in the village on behalf of the government.

Of course, as the most basic level of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Zhengjia family in the village is also a little official, so there is a black pole two or three meters long outside the courtyard gate of the main house there, also known as the Li Zheng pole, which can naturally be seen at a glance.

The young man went straight to the courtyard of Lizheng's house, glanced inside, but didn't go in directly, just coughed dryly.

But where dare the people inside be lazy, an old man in his fifties, seeing that the son of this noble family has come to the door, hurriedly ran out, bowed to the young man, and then said, "This noble man is invited, the little old man is the head of the village, I don't know where the noble man came from, what is the matter with the village?"

"Well, excuse me, Li Zheng, I just want to know, what is this place?

This young man is naturally Zhu Lingwu, he left the ancient tomb through the teleportation circle in the ancient tomb, but after some coincidence, he had to walk out of this dead wood mountain.

Completely confused about where he was, he could only look for the mountain village he saw for the first time and ask where he was.

However, Zhu Lingwu, the jade fat official who represents the status of the official, is not ordinary, this official has already explained his identity as a scholar, if it is an ordinary Hanmen Shu clan, it is a bronze official that is used, and like a more ordinary common people, it can only be a wooden official mu.

This kind of jade fat official also has privileges in all provinces and counties of the Great Jin Dynasty, and can be courteous, not worshiped when seeing officials, not punished, and even assigned people in the government to do things.

After all, this kind of jade fat official is made by immortal masters, and it is not something that mortals can imitate and forge, and those who really have this ability can naturally be regarded as a scholar level.

Now that Zhu Lingwu, the jade fat official, has made a move, it has completely confirmed his identity as a scholar, and the old man in the village hurriedly gave Zhu Lingwu a big gift again.

"Oh, it's really a noble man's son's arrival, the little old man is really blind! Childe, the small family is only afraid of poor hospitality, and neglects the nobleman, the little old man must know everything! Uh, this place is Dead Wood Ridge, this village is called Lingnan Village, and it belongs to Baimu County, Qichang Prefecture!"

"Okay, no need to be polite, I don't need you to make any hospitality, in this way, this is already Qi Chang Mansion! This is not bad, so how far is this place from Baimu County?"

At first, Zhu Lingwu listened to the old man there trembling and endless, and couldn't help but glare at him, but now he finally knew where he was.

It turned out that this was already Qi Chang Mansion, Zhu Lingwu naturally remembered that when he first bought the news, the name of Qi Chang Mansion was in the information about the Pure Yang Sect, and it seemed that he had come to the territory of the Pure Yang Sect.

Unexpectedly, when he came out of the ancient tomb, he went directly to the territory of the Pure Yang Sect, could it be that this Qi Chang Mansion was originally the territory of the Xuanming Sect, but with the demise of the Xuanming Sect, it was taken over by the Pure Yang Sect?

This is possible, thinking of what I encountered when I came out of the teleportation array before, although this mountain range is not where the sect of the Xuanming Sect is located, I can also know that this place is not very far from the sect of the Xuanming Sect.

According to Zhu Lingwu's knowledge, this Qi Changfu is located in the central and southern region of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the terrain is like a spiritual stone, and the area occupied is not much smaller than those feudal states in the local area.

This Qi Changfu is also a place of grain production in the Great Jin Dynasty, and in ancient times, there were many kingdoms that occupied this place to establish a country, and there were many dynasties in history that set up the capital in Qi Changfu.

This Qichang Mansion is adjacent to a turbid water river, which runs through the nine prefectures and 78 counties in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty from north to south, which can be described as the mother river of the Great Jin Dynasty.

And Qi Chang Mansion also gained a lot of benefits, three branch rivers were diverted from the Turbid Water River, but a large area of water town was left in this Qi Chang Mansion......
