Chapter 720 A magnificent return
The next day.
The news that Zhang Ke was returning to the world of Shang and Zhou Dynasty spread to the outside world from the Wushan Palace and three other palaces, and spread to every corner of the world through the network of earth veins.
Once the news was confirmed, it immediately caused an uproar in the world!
Countless people took to the streets and cheered, every house was decorated with lights, and all kinds of shops were offering discounts, discounts, and free of charge. Even the usually busy public offices were now taking a break to let the officials join in this clear and grand carnival. among.
What is even more shocking is that except for Wushan, in almost every city and every village, there are a large number of women who collect gold and silver from their homes. After much consideration and hesitation, they only keep a small half, and the rest are packed up and given to their families. Men, or elders, said something to them longingly and naggingly.
At the same time, the entrances and exits of cities and towns that usually have the highest flow of people are now filled with horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, or vehicles pulled by exotic beasts, waiting for villagers and common people to pack their bags. After having a good meal and putting them in the car, after the elders' office counted the number of people, groups of people, big or small, started the long journey.
There is nothing to say, but it is quite straightforward.
These people simply wanted to leave early and rush to Wushan Royal City to meet Zhang Ke and take a look at the human king they longed for.
Different from the past.
The world of Shang and Zhou was not a world inherited from the Kyushu years.
To be precise, originally it was, but after the authority of this world was transferred to Zhang Ke, everything changed.
Today, the main components of this world are the former Sanmiao and Kyushu branches that were once punished as four sinners, displaced and oppressed everywhere, and almost annihilated, and then renamed the Shaoyou tribe.
The game was created out of thin air according to the wild template. Although it has memories and inheritance, the cause and effect is tied to Zhang Ke. The Diyou tribe is separated from the Shaoyou tribe across the sea with the East China Sea as the dividing line.
And more than half a year ago, after just passing a new round of world integration, they now occupy the southern end of the Shang and Zhou worlds, and together with the Shaoyou tribe, they squeezed the original southern barbarians into the gaps and did not dare to say anything.
In addition, the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, who turned his back on the Western Zhou princes who abandoned darkness and turned to the light, was unable to survive alone but the three parties were too lazy to deal with him and had to linger on. Inspired, all kinds of barbarians, vulgar and rude foreign gods and foreigners were reborn.
There is no need to mention the monsters, elves, and water tribes that are left over from the wilderness in Kyushu!
As for the most important branches in the world, they are either the Diyou tribe, which is closely related to the bloodline of cause and effect, and is almost shaped by a test-tube embryo, or the Shaoyou tribe, which considers itself a descendant and calls its ancestors. It's fine if Zhang Ke doesn't come back, but if he comes back, And they were so upright and told the schedule of heaven and earth that they had to come.
There may be a sense of ritual, but more of it is pure emotion from the heart.
After all, without the presence of Di You, the Sanmiao tribe would soon be wiped out in the Shiwan Mountains. The wandering tribesmen would eventually integrate into various villages and wait for thousands of years before there may be capable descendants who have recalled their ancestors. It could revive Sanmiao, but Sanmiao at that time was unable to trace back to the famous Jiuli in ancient times.
And with the growing growth of the Central Plains and the renewal of dynasties, no matter how many villages there are in the Shiwanda Mountain area, and how many human tribes with different blood heritages, they will eventually be called Miao Man.
And even in later generations, even if there are Miao people who claim to be direct descendants of Jiuli and whose bloodline is orthodox, they are already the remains of countless ups and downs and countless changes. Not to mention the estrangements and deviations in the bloodline, it is even less clear how much spiritual identity remains. It can be known.
Such a future that is doomed to decline, as well as the emperor's tribe that should not exist, and even those common people and poor families who were once princes and under the emperor's command.
If it hadn't been for Diyou's appearance, how could they have entered this beautiful and internally harmonious world that was almost utopian for the human race.
In the original history of Kyushu, there were divisions, divisions, reunifications and wars, and the joke of later generations that there were no more than three generations of poverty was a cold and cruel reality for them.
Now, just a few decades and two generations have passed on, the changes in the world have been so great that some old people can't help but sigh:
Because all the evil demons were suppressed and extinct, coupled with the gradual growth of the human race in the Shang and Zhou worlds, and the expansion of their territory, the originally remote mountain villages and towns were gradually transformed into large and small cities, and many once desolate mountains and forests also had village fronts. Come and settle down, the living territory of wild spirits is gradually and steadily reduced.
But reductions are reductions. In later generations, when Kyushu had not been integrated into the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the power of industrialization had not spread to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people here still maintained their primitive farming practices and lifestyles.
And because of the richness and level of the world, the rich production of various fruits, fruits, and rice grains also prevented the human race in the Shang and Zhou worlds from endlessly opening up wasteland.
After all, there were no princes in the world of Shang and Zhou, and there were no tax squeezes from landlords, nor the almost greedy collection of land by aristocratic families, and man-made droughts and famines were even less likely.
Even though the Shang and Zhou dynasties were ruled by princesses, the new king who came from later generations had not returned to his homeland for decades, and he might not show his face openly for more than a hundred years.
But if you really dare to do that, that person will not be stingy with his sword and axe, let you see why he has such a nasty nickname!
And what about saying you are a human race?
In the Eastern Han Dynasty in the next world, aristocratic families were burned to the ground. Although he did not do it himself, he was the driving force behind the scenes; and the man who had gone before, in the world where Kyushu's various historical eras were divided, died as a human race in the fire. Is it possible that there are still fewer difficulties caused by floods?
Perhaps Diyou has grown a lot now, and is far less violent and easy to kill than he was back then.
It's more likely that Emperor You's love for the human race is more direct and more partial than that of other people.
But when you are not a human race, or have lost basic empathy for your fellow racers, and treat others as pigs and dogs just because of your status, don’t blame Diyou for treating you like a pig or dog and killing the whole family!
In this case, without external pressure and no need to forcefully increase the yield per mu, the people would naturally be happy to plant a few less acres of land.
You only need to cultivate food for your family or the village, and leave a little for selling. However, leaving the original mountain forests, swamps and other land areas can use the wild environment to breed elixirs, collect firewood, hunt wild animals and Catch game fish to replenish family resources.
And although the grains cultivated by humans are nourished by heaven and earth and have become spiritual objects with different effects, they are still not as effective as those heavenly materials and earthly treasures that grow from the nodes of the earth and the places where the aura is deposited!
As long as you pay a little attention to ethics when picking, you can have a continuous supply. While storing the excess money, you can slowly change the life of your family and even make them prosperous!
Although he is tired, he is still busy and has a more promising life. If he is not greedy or an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, he should take action.
Of course, that's not what they did.
Due to the world heritage of the Shang and Zhou worlds, as well as the fact that the two tribes are based on tribes rather than dynasties, a large number of advanced versions of magical powers can be shared directly in the villages, so that a large number of cultivation seedlings have been born.
With their lifespan extended, their physical condition always maintained at a fixed point, and without all the worries that plagued ordinary people in other worlds, the human race in the Shang and Zhou worlds naturally had to learn to find something to do for themselves.
Among the many choices, joining the personal guards is the one with the widest acceptance and there is always no shortage of manpower.
Like other locals, immortals, gods, etc., they have to assess reputation, merit, knowledge and ability, and other restrictions before they can win the opportunity to hold an official position; in addition, there are other ways to give back to one's own tribe. Various restrictions, but guards are different. First of all, to choose personal guards, you only need enough force!
As long as you are reckless, not afraid of death, and know how to enforce orders and prohibitions, you can become a personal guard. As for the title of marquis and general, that is a matter later, and it is not something that a large number of soldiers need to consider anyway.
If you are a good personal guard, you can go to the vanguard camp after passing the layers of selection, and go to the outside world with the team to fight, annihilate the barbarians, gather mountains and rivers to feed the foundation of the world; if you retire, you can patrol and test with the team everywhere in the world, even if you cannot become an elite, and kill Kill demons and protect the people of the tribe (although, in the past few decades, apart from the fierce battlefields opened in the outside world, there are very few blind demons in my own world).
But if there is nothing in the world, you can still go and become the guardian of various temples!
Due to the large number of vacancies in the establishment of Heavenly Court and Underworld, conditions had to be lowered to expand enrollment.
The dead souls who originally had no choice but to work as shady agents or protectors due to lack of merit, reputation, and knowledge have now found full-time jobs.
Regardless of the fact that most of them are land, even if they are from the ninth level of land, they are all serious land people who have entered the job. They are protected by heaven and earth, enjoy monthly immortal salary, and can be promoted through meritorious service. Even the great gods and great immortals The positions are scarce, but with the vast number of people, who can ensure that no one can succeed immediately?
And who can guarantee that it is not you who has defeated countless opponents and been promoted at all levels?
In this way, while a large number of low-level soldiers and generals were converted to fill the vacancies, the soldiers and generals under the large and small temples and immortal gods were left vacant. As a result, for things like the City God, except for the prefecture and city gods who are in good condition, there are not many candidates to be dispatched to the temples of the county and prefecture city gods. Even the most basic job of seducing souls is replaced by the bull-headed horse-faced and shackle generals. It is conceivable that And who knows how far the current Kyushu gods, who are middle-class and have no character at all, are lacking!
If the task is not completed, the annual school evaluation will not be very good, which will delay the movement of status and the road to advancement.
But the lack of immortals and gods is a hard flaw. Even the simplest evil deeds are not something ordinary people can handle. The disciples of Sanshan Taoism look down on small evil deeds. They dare not give trust.
This level was increasingly in trouble, and at this moment, the emergence of the Shang and Zhou peoples made up for the vacancy.
Although there is a huge gap between merit and reputation, there is a certain guarantee of moral character, and there are people behind him who endorse it. The magical tools are legitimate, the ability is fierce, and there are many people!
In this way, the reputation of Emperor You's personal guards quickly spread from the big temples in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and quickly dispersed from large to small. Now many years have passed, and even those remote earth temples can barely reach it. Even a ninth-grade earth god can be compared to two tall and powerful personal guards with magical powers!
And since the spread and popularity of personal guards, among other things, the safety of the land gods has been guaranteed!
In those remote and wild lands, the mountain gods no longer have to worry about being imprisoned by the great monsters and conspirators who wander over and take away their divine thrones.
And instead of worrying about being attacked, those monsters and monsters have to worry about their own lives!
Those personal guards may not be as powerful as the heavenly soldiers and generals, and they are more powerful with more people, but the magic of the sky, the earth, and the ultimate weakened version of the fire are enough to make the monsters who do not have deep heels suffer a big loss. , or even lose your life.
As for those behind him, there was no need to fight head-on with the guards.
After all, provoking the personal guards would inevitably lead to follow-up investigation by heaven and earth. Even if these two difficulties were overcome, there was no guarantee that one day Di You would be able to kill directly in front of the cave door on a whim!
Although this matter sounds as outrageous as the person who came to slay the demons was not the Immortal God of Leibu but the God of Haotian.
But Diyou never plays according to the routine. When this guy comes into contact with resentment and complaints, he really does it himself, and in the process, he even beats rabbits and sets the whole world on fire.
No matter whether the environment was damaged in the process or not, the demons are already ready to die anyway
In this case, the safety of the newly sealed landowners has been guaranteed, and the guards of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties who are not qualified to fight in the outer regions due to lack of strength and large numbers have also found something to do. In addition, some remote In areas where there is no suppression by immortals and gods, the Taoist disciples who went to eradicate the evil also have new reliable helpers they can summon.
Kill three birds with one stone!
Not to mention that if you become a personal guard, not only will you receive a generous salary at home, but you will also receive benefits elsewhere.
Those who fight in foreign lands may get various points, which can be used to exchange resources in Wushan King City; serve as guardians for the immortals and gods, and those who belong to gods can receive various benefits from heaven and earth. The former can be promoted all the way until they become princes and become generals. A foreign battlefield!
While changing the court, I can also work in the royal city. Not only can I see Princess Yaoji on weekdays, but I can also get up close and personal with their king on some important occasions!
The latter is a guarantee. Even though the guards are working under the immortal gods, they are regarded as laborers from another generation, but in fact, the merits and demerits accumulated in the process will be counted by the wandering gods and judges day and night.
Fortunately, if nothing happens, if the guards die due to an accident, their true spirits will directly be exempted from the test and obtain the chance to become gods by virtue of the merits accumulated during this period.
When you resurrect your life, you can also be directly enrolled in the organization. If you continue upward, you can enter the heaven and the underworld, or you can return to the world of Shang and Zhou. It is very flexible!
In this case, after decades of evolution, the process within the personal guard has gradually changed to the new recruit Danzi guarding his own world, responsible for the protection of the palace's cities and patrols in various places. When the time limit is met, or the strength is sufficient, then After accumulating merit, they can go to the palace and eventually be assigned to serve under the new gods and goddesses.
At this point, there is a dividing line. You can either use martial arts as a profession and accumulate merit in the pantheon of heaven and earth to be promoted; you can also return to Wushan to join the vanguard of the outer world after accumulating enough merit to obtain the position of righteous god. In the camp.
Either man or God, the process is clear and unambiguous!
And it is precisely because of the various overt and covert benefits that the personal guards have that the human race in the Shang and Zhou worlds are particularly good at martial arts, and the number of personal guards has expanded from millions to hundreds of millions today. So much.
Of course, this number seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is just a drop in the bucket whether it is for an outer land that often has a planet or several planes; or for Kyushu, which once had countless worlds.
It speeds up the progress of both parties a little, but it only speeds up a little, and it doesn't have the final say!
But even so, for the human race, it is a life that they did not dare to expect before, and facing the human king who brought all this, how can they not respect and yearn for it from the bottom of their hearts
And just as the human races from the Shang and Zhou worlds were busily converging on Wushan through various means, all kinds of spirits that had gradually lived in harmony and mutual benefit with the human race quietly packed up their packages and took refuge in the ravines and wilderness.
In the relatively calm palace, with a breeze blowing, a figure suddenly appeared behind Yao Ji who was working at the desk.
In the girl's surprised and slightly reproachful eyes, Zhang Ke sat down behind him and at the same time used his hands to find his own harbor with ease. The familiar fragrance like orchids in the deep valley lingered in his nose, and the light smell made him feel comfortable. Take a deep breath.
Back!
Finally back!
He is really not good at sitting and chatting with a group of old people who are over 100 million years old, even if it is a banquet where they eat and drink in an almost homely manner, even if all the people present can barely sit at the table except for the support of wheelchairs. Except for Emperor Shun, he was considered his elder, even though not long ago he had announced his arrival to the entire wilderness with one person and one sword.
But facing this group of clever and impeccable old men, Zhang Ke still felt his scalp numb.
It sounded like chatting, but eight pairs of eyes never left Zhang Ke from the beginning to the end, and the things discussed during this process were quite uncomfortable for him.
What kind of barbaric pattern, the direction of the human race, and the current situation of the void
Although it is clear that Zhang Ke is now qualified to criticize these things, and his opinions are crucial to the outcome of either party, but... who has considered that before this, he was just a thug, purely relying on The person who was given the throne of human king by fist has not experienced any conventional training similar to that of a prince.
The result was naturally not very good, and Zhang Ke, who showed his prowess on the battlefield, was "forcibly" assigned many courses in his future after his shortcomings were revealed.
Including but not limited to having to spend one year every three years watching from the side of the kings, and rotating one among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors every three years, not only to learn different styles, but also to avoid being contaminated by some terrible things under one person for a long time. The problem!
Yes, that’s right, it refers to your two descendants, Xuanyuan, Xia and Yu!
Compared with the cultural courses that he is not good at, what is even more troublesome is that no matter what happens to him afterwards, he is not allowed to engage in any violent behavior or verbal threats during the period of Guanzheng, and he must observe it to the end.
If you have no patience and just indulge your instincts, how can you become successful?
Thinking of the cold and headache-ridden future, Zhang Ke couldn't help but bury a little deeper into the embrace in his hands.
This world is cold and heartless, only these embraces can warm people's hearts a little
