Chapter 767: A mighty and prosperous age, a towering and powerful country
Xiyuan Road, Pingyuan County.
When the Zhou Qing Dynasty first set foot on the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they came to this place. This is the border between Zhou and Jin.
Unlike Qi and Jin, there was no unit of state in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Tao is the largest administrative unit within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Qi and Jin were divided into prefectures, prefectures and counties in order and managed at different levels.
As for Zhou, it is Dao - County - County.
There are dozens of states within the territory of Qi, but in the Zhou Dynasty, they were divided into nine states, which seemed to be relatively small.
In terms of the actual territorial area of the two countries, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty exceeded the Western Qi Dynasty.
So it is obvious that the size of Dongzhou Road is far greater than the area of one state of Qi and Jin, and can be equal to the area of several states combined.
There is no difference between the counties and counties under the state, they are all the same.
Nishiyuan Road is named after the Tianzang Plateau.
The Tianzang Plateau crosses the two realms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is the largest plateau landform in the world. There are Taoist systems standing on it, and countless beasts, monsters and ghosts live on it. It has a very primitive and wild scenery.
It is a mysterious and primitive ancient plateau containing countless secrets and dangers.
Nishiyuan Road and Dongyuan Road carry the two territories of Tianzang Plateau.
The All Saints Academy that Zhou Qing was going to was located in the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, on the Zhongtu Road where the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was located.
The Zhongtu Road is the core territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and is surrounded by eight other roads. From the map, there are about two roads in each direction of the four directions of the Zhongtu Road, southeast, northwest and northwest.
If Zhou Qing wants to reach the Zhongtu Road, he needs to pass through Xiyuan Road and Dongyuan Road.
This distance is not close. After all, these are two roads, not two states.
Not long after, Zhou Qing came to Pingyuan County, and he still walked the world as a phoenix.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when other demon clans were met by some so-called righteous masters, they might run the risk of being killed indiscriminately and directly killing demons.
But if the Phoenix clan travels in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they will definitely not encounter such a situation.
The Phoenix Clan are the eternal allies of the Zhou royal family. Do you think the Phoenix Clan are monsters that should be exterminated?
I think you are the monster!
Standing outside Pingyuan County, Zhou Qing looked at the city. His perception was very keen and he noticed some patterns on the city wall, which were different from the patterns on the cities in Qi and Jin. He added Something new.
Especially when he entered the city, the awe-inspiring energy in his body immediately changed. Vaguely, he seemed to sense a scroll exuding awe-inspiring energy above Pingyuan City.
On the scroll, there seems to be a billowing handwriting glowing, full of righteousness.
That scroll is the core of the formation, a magnificent treasure specially made by a master.
The Treasure of Haoran continuously releases Haoran Qi, and supplemented by formations, the loss rate of these Haoran Qi is minimized, the utilization rate is maximized, and it can exist for a long time.
Everyone will be scanned when they enter the city to ensure that there is no problem with the composition of the people entering the city. Everyone living in the city is also covered by Haoran Qi.
For example, those who practice ordinary magic skills that cannot hide from the Haoran Qi induction will be noticed and captured as soon as they enter the city.
Or if a Yin spirit is born somewhere in the city, it will be sensed and suppressed by the invisible but ubiquitous Haoran Qi immediately.
But ordinary people, or normal practitioners, will not feel anything about this.
Even living in a city shrouded in awe all year round can make your heart clear and less likely to worry.
"Haoran's magic circle..."
Zhou Qing said to himself in his heart, admiring him endlessly.
When he was consulting various classics in Xuandu to understand the situation of the world, he saw a lot of records about the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Haoran Magical Array has been featured in various classics.
A vast array like this was the core of every city in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
With the presence of Haoran's magic circle, the people living in every city from Dao to prefectures and counties have great protection.
In Qi and Jin, demon cultivators and some bloodthirsty monsters can easily sneak into many cities and carry out killings.
But in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Haoran magic circle was able to exclude most demon cultivators and monsters.
It is true that the profound inheritance of the various major traditions of the Demon Sect and the awe-inspiring Qi generally cannot be sensed in advance.
But how many people are able to practice advanced magic skills?
Most of the demon cultivators are practicing inferior demonic skills and are not very strong. If you probe a little, your identity will be exposed immediately.
But the damage they caused was not small at all, because there were so many of them. Even if each of them only killed one person a month, the total number of victims in one place would be hundreds or tens of thousands. .
But to tell a joke from hell, if those demons who practice demonic skills and completely fall into the devil's ways can only kill one person a month, they are really considered "great good people".
It can be said that these demons are the greatest source of danger to the people.
After all, the righteousness of the world is prosperous and the big devil keeps a low profile. It is relatively rare to directly massacre a city.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty's Haoran magic circle can prevent these most numerous demons from causing chaos to the greatest extent.
If it were in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, then things like the rebellion in the counties of Tianyue County would never have happened.
The same is true for evil spirits such as ghost zombies.
It’s hard to say which demon cultivators have practiced advanced demonic skills, but among the three human kingdoms, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is indeed the place with the smallest overall number of demon cultivators, which can be called peaceful.
Just the Haoran magic circle that every city has has restrained those ordinary demon cultivators, leaving them no room to show their abilities.
Qi and Jin are actually very envious of this.
In this world where demons are constantly cultivating, the safety of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is guaranteed. As time goes by, generations of people reproduce, and the population naturally increases.
Compared with the other two countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, even if only a thousand people were saved from the evil hands of demon cultivators every year, then fifty years later, the number of descendants of these thousand would be quite large.
What's more, I don't know how many times the real number is this thousand people.
As the population of ordinary people increases, the overall number of practitioners will naturally increase, and the impact will be progressive and far-reaching.
The world of spiritual practice has always existed dependent on the secular world, and the two are inseparable.
However, Qi and Jin were envious, but they were unable to replicate the situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Haoran array is something from the All Saints Academy. Some say it was left by the legendary All Saints, while others say it was created and perfected by the academy's sages. This is different from ordinary arrays. It does not just have one more Haoran. Zhibao is as simple as a formation eye.
In addition, there are also the Treasures of the Formation Eyes. Each of the Treasures of the Haoran was brought out by All Saints Academy and is not available elsewhere.
And the Haoran Qi in the Haoran Treasure is not endless. No matter how slowly it is consumed, it will eventually be used up.
At that time, the local academy will need to apply to the higher level, and then the masters from All Saints Academy will come to replenish the awe-inspiring treasure.
Without the masters of the academy, even if you get the Treasure of Haoran and set up the Array of Haoran, you won't be able to survive for long.
All kinds of conditions make Qi and Jin jealous.
Zhou Qing walked in Pingyuan City, observing the city and the country.
On the whole, the people of the Zhou Dynasty had a better mental outlook. After all, they could be nourished silently by Haoran Qi, and their lives seemed to be richer.
Of course, there must be some shortcomings, and this is a problem that cannot be solved.
Walking along the way, Zhou Qing subconsciously came to the place with the strongest aura of aura in the city.
Pingyuan County Academy.
Zhou Qing stood outside and took a look, and was sure that there was more than one great treasure inside.
The treasure of Haoran is actually not that mysterious. Zhou Qing can also make it.
When copying classics, or painting or sculpting, etc., concentrate on it, complete these things with awe, and leave your own thoughts in the work.
After completion, Haoran Qi will be consumed, but it can be recovered slowly later without affecting anything.
But this is an ordinary method of making a treasure of vastness. There are some high-level treasures of vastness inside All Saints Academy, which are extremely powerful and special.
If you want to make a high-level treasure, it is not easy to do.
The formation eye of Haoran's array is such a high-level Haoran treasure.
At this time, brisk footsteps sounded behind Zhou Qing. He turned around and saw a little carrot head with a braided braid and a cloth bag on his back, jumping over.
She also saw Zhou Qing. She was stunned for a moment with her head raised. This moment, she stumbled with her left foot and her right foot, and fell directly to the ground.
“Hey, doesn’t it hurt?”
The little carrot head looked at the ground and said in surprise.
Zhou Qing supported her and said with a smile: "You didn't fall, so of course it won't hurt."
The little carrot head looked up at Zhou Qing and sniffed.
"Brother, you are so beautiful."
"Brother, you are not beautiful, you are handsome."
"Handsome?"
The little carrot head tilted his head , "Master hasn't taught me this word yet, what does it mean?"
Before Zhou Qing could answer, the little carrot head stopped worrying about the meaning of handsome, took off his cloth bag, He rummaged around inside and finally took out an oil paper bag.
"Brother, I'll treat you to meat pie!"
Zhou Qing smiled and touched her head and asked:
"Why do you want to treat me to meat pie?"
“Because the big brother held me up and kept me from falling, otherwise it would have been very painful!”
Little guy, it’s quite interesting.
"Brother, you're not hungry now. You can keep the meat pie for yourself. This is your lunch, right? You have to keep it for yourself."
"No."
The little carrot head shook his head. He shook his head and said, "The food in the academy is delicious for us." "This is what Niu Niu's friend gave us." Niu Niu bought it. She was sick and Niu Niu was taking care of her in the academy. Niu Niu went to her house just now and she bought me delicious meat cakes. "
"She said this is it. Thanks to Niuniu for taking care of me, and Niuniu is also grateful to big brother!”
"Niuniu is such a good child." Zhou Qing wiped her nose and said:
"Since it was given by a good friend, then Niuniu can eat it, big brother is not hungry."
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. Niu Niu won't eat either. I want to eat." Take it back and give it to your father and mother.”
“Niu Niu can eat meat in the academy, but father and mother can’t, so give them the meat pie.”
Zhou Qing was startled. Looking at Niuniu's very simple coarse cloth clothes, my heart was touched.
"Niuniu is so sensible."
"Brother, are you really not going to eat?"
Zhou Qing refused again, and Niuniu carefully put away the oil paper bag.
"Is Niuniu studying in the academy? How long have you been studying?"
"One year!"
"How is it in the academy?"
"Very good, very good."
Niuniu nodded quickly, "There are delicious meals, many friends, and an old gentleman who loves to laugh very much!"
"How much tuition does Niuniu have to pay every year to study in the academy?"
"Tuition?"
Niu Niu was confused, "What is that?"
"How much do I have to pay to the academy?"
"No need to pay."
Niu Niu shook her head, "Mr. said Pass, Pingyuan City There are also nearby villages, villages...villages! Yes, it is the word village. As long as the children are willing to come to school, the academies are willing to teach them for free."
Zhou Qingmoran, Dongzhou, have already done it. Have we reached this point?
Niuniu was only eight or nine years old, not yet old enough to practice, so she went to the academy, which meant she really studied, not learned how to practice.
In such a world, providing free education to children sounds a bit dreamy.
Zhou Qing traveled to many places in Qi and Jin countries and had never encountered such a thing.
Eastern Zhou Dynasty, All Saints Academy...
Zhou and Qing were people in two generations. The situation in Eastern Zhou Dynasty inevitably reminded him of the environment in his previous life, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Free education, and meals provided, doesn’t sound like it should be in an environment like this.
"Reading and literacy is a good thing. Niuniu remember to study seriously."
"Niuniu is the most serious! Gentlemen often praise Niuniu!"
" Niu Niu is awesome."
Zhou Qing smiled, and a ray of mana entered Niu Niu's body, warming her body and strengthening her bones.
The magical power of mana can not only be used for fighting.
The quality of Zhou Qing's magic power is so high. A ray of magic power can nourish a mortal child, which can be said to be a cleansing of the muscles and marrow.
Niuniu will definitely be free from all diseases in her life. She will be strong and healthy, and her ears and eyes will be bright. All kinds of mortal illnesses will not appear on her.
Niu Niu did not feel the changes brought about by warming her body. Zhou Qing deliberately did not let her experience it.
After all, you are still a child. If your body undergoes some changes, you will inevitably be unable to hide things.
Zhou Qing took out a few more stones and handed them to Niu Niu.
"Niuniu, don't lose this thing that big brother gave you. Give it to your father and mother when you get home."
"What is this? "Yeah?"
"Something that can make your father and mother eat meat."
This is actually a few pieces of silver, but it was covered up by Zhou Qing in a special way. Yes, it looks like stone.
Only when Niu Niu's parents come into contact and the blood and qi are drawn, will Yinzi reveal his true appearance.
Otherwise, they will just be stones forever.
However, if a lord with three transformations of Yin Shen saw these pieces of silver, he would still be able to detect something wrong.
But the Three Changes of Yinshen...
The entire Pingyuan City is gone.
In this way, these few pieces of silver will not bring disaster to Niuniu's family, but will only make this family live better.
In Niuniu's opinion, this thing was just a stone on the roadside, so there was nothing wrong with it. She put the "stone" directly into the cloth bag.
In fact, even if it is lost, you are not afraid, because Niu Niu has Zhou Qing’s magic aura, and she will run over by herself if she loses the stone.
The use of some monks’ small tricks.
“Let’s go to the academy.”
"Hmm!"
Niuniu jumped and ran towards the academy. When she arrived at the door, she waved to Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing responded with the same smile.
After watching Niuniu disappear, Zhou Qing also turned and left.
One spot reveals the whole thing.
Eastern Zhou, what a great Eastern Zhou.
Just Pingyuan City opened Zhou Qing's horizons.
No wonder the national power is the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. If this is the case in every place in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, then he really deserves to be the strongest.
Under this model, how many talents will be born in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
This is a very scary data to think about.
The academies are a unique force in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
With All Saints Academy as the head and source, there are academies in every province, every county, and every county below.
Compared with the Guishen and Dingwu divisions of Daqi, the academies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were more like schools.
The academies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty taught Taoism and martial arts. From this point of view, they were no different from some sects.
But the biggest difference between academies and martial arts schools and sects is that academies also teach and educate people and impart knowledge.
In academies at all levels in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, even if you are a practitioner with great strength and talent, you must study classics and read literature!
The true preachers of All Saints Academy must also study the articles of saints and the meanings of the classics of sages.
In this country, culture goes hand in hand with Taoism and martial arts!
The existence of the academies gave the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty a chance not to be fools.
How could such a country not be strong with its vast territory, large population, and intelligent people?
And after being taught by the academy, the people here have a very strong sense of identity with their country, because the people remember the good things that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did to them.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was stronger than the other two countries in all aspects, not just in the spiritual world.
Even Zhou Qing, a time traveler, had a very good first impression of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Pingyuan City gave Zhou Qing a real understanding of the behemoth of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, instead of just staying on paper like before.
Ten days later.
Zhou Qing passed through the Xiyuan Road and the Dongyuan Road, entered the Middle Earth Road, and came to the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Divine Capital.
Xiyujing, Dongshendu, and Nantianyi are three world-famous capitals.
The gods were both majestic and extremely ancient. Zhou Qing took a look at them from a distance and felt that they were like ancient beasts that had been sleeping.
Arrived here, Zhou Qing has returned to his original appearance, and is active as Xuandu Guan Zhou Qing.
Withdrawing his gaze from Shendu, Zhou Qing walked towards the east of Shendu.
Although he is here, there is no need to enter the divine capital for the time being.
Because All Saints Academy is not in the Divine Capital, but in a resort east of the Divine Capital.
Unlike Xuandu Temple, although it is respected as the state religion of Daqi, there is only one Fendao Temple in Yujing.
All Saints Academy is headquartered here, close to the gods.
The two top orthodox schools, the Zhou Imperial Family and All Saints Academy, are all crowded here.
It can be seen from this that their relationship is very unusual.
If you want Xuanduguan to move next to Yujing, the Daqi royal family will definitely not be able to sleep.
The two were only more than ten miles apart, and Zhou Qing quickly arrived outside All Saints Academy.
At a glance, there are clusters of buildings and continuous houses.
But compared with the powerful orthodoxy that Zhou Qing had seen before, the architectural style of All Saints Academy is relatively simple.
With white walls and blue tiles and brick paving, at first glance, it really looks like an academy rather than a Taoist practice.
This made Zhou Qing, who was accustomed to Xuandu's style of observing immortal energy, a little uncomfortable at first glance.
The first one is a bluestone archway with the four characters "All Saints Academy" on it, which is neat and neat.
Zhou Qing glanced at these four words, and seemed to see an old man in a trance, concentrating on carving words, and a long river of immeasurable righteousness was poured into the words.
Closing his eyes slightly, these illusions disappeared. Zhou Qing took a deep look at "All Saints Academy", then withdrew his gaze and went straight forward.
Not far from the archway, there were guard disciples who stopped Zhou Qing and asked Zhou Qing what happened.
"Xuandu is watching Zhou Qing, and I came as promised."
