Chapter 1964 The Country Is Also the Country

"I don't know about Thousand Demons Saint Realm and Paradise World!" Xiao Jian said with a smile, "But on the Hidden Immortal Continent, if you want to become famous in your cultivation, whether you are a Confucian cultivator or a Taoist, you must have strong backing. Otherwise, it is impossible to enter the ranks of cultivation, especially as a Taoist! Now you can teach Liu Yi the basic techniques and let him enter the realm of foundation building. He can then achieve enlightenment, fusion and other realms without the support of spiritual herbs and elixirs. , I am afraid it is unlikely to be achieved by the senior alone. Now that the senior has reached the third level of Yuanli, he is the target of recruitment by the governors and even the kings of various countries. The senior can just take advantage of this..."

"No need to say more!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "Xiao has no interest in this matter!"

"Yes, this junior knows!" Xiao Jian hurriedly stopped, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but said, "Actually, the senior can also leave the matter of finding Lu Zhen to Xue Ping. The relationship with the country is pretty good, it’s hard to tell with other states, but Yuzhou can definitely find out!”

"I have entrusted him with it!" Xiao Hua said lightly, "Oh, by the way, it seems that you are very familiar with the situations in several countries in Yuzhou?"

"Yes, this junior has done a lot of homework in this area..." Xiao Jian's eyes flashed with joy, and he finally said what he wanted to say.

"Oh, let me ask you a question!" Xiao Hua seemed to be interested, "How many Taoist sects do you know? How many casual cultivators of my Taoist school do you know?"

"This..." Xiao Jian didn't expect Xiao Hua to suddenly come here, and was caught off guard. However, he hesitated a little and said with a wry smile, "Senior, you know that no Taoist sect is allowed to be established on the Hidden Immortal Continent. You How do you answer this, please?”

"Si..." Xiao Hua was slightly startled. To be honest, it has been more than ten days. He has always wanted to find out the specific situation of Taoism in the Hidden Immortal Continent, but so far he has not seen a monk with a cultivation level that can directly talk to him, not to mention Xiao Jian, that is Xue just now Even if they are equal, they are only around the level of foundation building. Their strength is doomed to their vision. Will not give Silver a real answer. But Xiao Hua still didn't expect that the Taoist situation on the Hidden Immortal Continent was so bad! Of course, then again, this situation is much better than that of Buddhists and Confucianism cultivators in Xiaoyu Continent.

Xiao Hua rolled his eyes again and said with a smile: "Not on the surface. What about secretly?"

"This... junior doesn't know!" Xiao Jian smiled bitterly, "Junior was warned when... he entered Taoist cultivation. It is possible to practice, but you must not start a sect. As long as you start a sect, Confucianism cultivators will inevitably Will send people to destroy it! This is the iron law of the Hidden Immortal Continent! Is that what the nonsense of the Immortal Buddha Ceremony is like?"

"Then why do you still practice Taoism? Instead of choosing Confucianism? Even Buddhism... is better than Taoism!" Xiao Hua asked with a half-smile.

"It's good to teach seniors to know!" Xiao Jian said with a bitter smile,

"This matter is not something I can choose! I can't help myself. Our country, Dan Liang, was originally founded on Taoism. I was selected as the crown prince since I was a child, so of course I have to practice Taoism!"

"Huh??" Xiao Hua was stunned and wondered, "What? Taoism does not allow the establishment of a sect, but if a country is founded on Taoism... it is allowed? So... there are many Taoists supporting the Hidden Immortal Continent. country?”

"Indeed!" Xiao Jian nodded, "But the seniors are too optimistic. On the Hidden Immortal Continent, most countries are founded by Confucianism and cultivators, and there are very few Taoists. Nowadays, there are even fewer... Replaced by Buddhism!”

"It's really weird!" Xiao Hua didn't understand. This was a bit unreasonable. "Could it be that... Is it okay for me to support a country?"

"Of course! Without a doubt!" Xiao Jian's eyes lit up and he said with certainty. "At this time, the senior's cultivation level can barely be enough to be a national teacher of a country. If his cultivation level is a little higher, he can naturally... control a country according to his own wishes!"

"Hehe..." Xiao Hua smiled. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Is the king willing?"

Xiao Jian showed some embarrassment again and said with a smile: "Of course it's consensual! Moreover, being a national advisor is different from being a general of the left. You have to compete with the country near Sakon, and you also have to assist the expansion of the country. territory……"

"Forget it! It's not tiring enough!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, looking very boring.

"But if you block the national master and control a country, you can easily get all the things you need for cultivation!" Xiao Jian was a little anxious and explained quickly.

"My cultivation is still shallow, I don't dare to think so much!" Xiao Hua raised his head and said, "Yuan Ya has prepared the carriage, let's get on with it!"

"Yes~" Xiao Jian was a little downcast. He finally managed to express some of his meaning in the conversation just now, but was interrupted mercilessly by Xiao Hua. He really didn't know that Xiao Hua, who seemed to be very approachable, was right Liu Yi, a ruffian, is so kind to Yuan Ya, an uneducated person, but he doesn't want to listen to his own voice?

In the following days, I saw fewer convoys and fewer carriages, as if I had entered a remote country. According to Xiao Hua's thinking, the main road must be replaced by a trail, and the trail must be replaced by a wilderness. I am afraid that I can only ride on horseback and walk. However, within two days, there were more carriages and convoys. The avenue did not show any sign of being narrow, but instead became wider and smoother.

When Xiao Hua felt a little strange, before he could ask Xiao Jian, he saw another magnificent river a few miles away in front of him. But seeing a stone bridge across the river across both banks, soldiers who had never been seen for more than ten days were standing majestically in neat armor and holding bright weapons in their hands. Both sides of the bridge.

"Xiao Jian, where is this? What kind of bridge is this? Is it so important?" Xiao Hua was a little strange. When he got closer, he asked Xiao Jian, "So many soldiers are actually required to guard it?"

"I'd like to teach you, senior!" Xiao Jian looked up and said, "This is already the border of Xi Country. The name of this river is Fanli River. It is the boundary river between Xi Country and Gaza Country. People in Xi Country call this bridge It's called Fangong Bridge, and the Gaza Kingdom calls it the Libei Bridge. This bridge connects the Xi Kingdom and the Gaza Kingdom. Naturally, the two countries will send large forces to guard it. Once you cross this bridge, you'll reach the Gaza Kingdom! Within the borders of the country.”

"Huh???" Xiao Hua almost shouted, "This...is this the border of Xiguo? Xiao Jian, tell me, this Xiguo...how big is it?"

At this time, Xiao Hua finally knew that he was a country bumpkin. He had always thought that the Xi Country was as big as the Xi Country of the Three Kingdoms! Who would have thought that within a few days of walking, I would actually walk... yes, walk, not fly, and reach the border of Xi Country. Think about it when I casually dealt with Xue Ping a few days ago, he didn't suspect it at all. It turns out that he knew that he would be able to return to Xi Country next year! Even for walking! !

Xiao Jian was obviously a little puzzled by Xiao Hua's astonishment, and replied strangely: "The juniors have already told the seniors before that Xi Country is not a big or small country within Yuzhou. It should be thousands of miles in diameter. Nanpu County is also The Xi Country is the closest county to the Gaza Country, and although Changsheng Town is the closest township to the Gaza Country, it is almost the same. As for the Gaza Country, as far as I know, the radius is only more than 800 miles. The Xi Kingdom is smaller. On the other side of the Gaza Kingdom is the Tongzhu Kingdom. The Bronze Pillar Kingdom is twice as large as the Xi Kingdom. It is said that the Tongzhu Kingdom is now more than 2,000 miles long. It is fighting with its neighboring country Jiang State. If nothing happens, the Copper Pillar State should win. Then when the Copper Pillar State annexes the Jiang State, it will expand to about three thousand miles. "

"Grandma~ Xiao understands!" Xiao Hua almost yelled from the bottom of his heart, "No wonder this Hidden Immortal Continent is bounded by 'states', and countries are only divided within these 'states'. It turns out that these The countries are all extremely small, incomparable to the Xi Country, Meng Country, and Lian Country on the Xiaoyu Continent! If so, why should Xiao support one country? What’s the point of supporting five or ten countries? It’s a vast territory!”

Looking at Xiao Hua's uncertain face, Xiao Jian didn't know what Xiao Hua was thinking. He didn't dare to ask if Xiao Hua didn't speak. However, when he saw the carriages lined up on the side of the bridge waiting for soldiers to inspect and pay money, he immediately He understood something again and hurriedly explained: "Senior, although we need to pay taxes when passing the border between the two countries, we are Taoist disciples. Yuan Ya and Liu Yi are both our boys, and we don't have to pay for them! You Don’t worry!”

"Are I that stingy?" Xiao Hua glared at Xiao Jian angrily, but he was still very puzzled. In such a short period of ten days, how could Xiao Jian know that he was stingy?

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Jian replied hurriedly.

"Oh, by the way, this country of Gaza is only 800 miles away, so it is a small country! So why does the Bronze Pillar Country give up the small to the big?" Xiao Hua asked in confusion.

Xiao Jian understood something and said with a smile: "Didn't this junior already say it before? Every country has national teachers and others, and there are even support from various Confucian sects behind it. Although the Gaza Kingdom is small, it can There must be support from Chongyun Sect and other Confucian sects, so the Tongzhu Kingdom does not dare to invade. As for Jiang Kingdom, if nothing unexpected happens, it must be supported by a certain Taoist senior..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jian's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he added: "Of course, in the past few decades, the Buddhist sect has penetrated into the Hidden Immortal Continent too fast. Perhaps the situation around Xi Country has long surpassed what the younger generation can imagine. You know, it’s very possible that an expert from the Buddhist sect is secretly presiding over Jiang State!”

"No matter where you go, this power, interest and strength are inseparable!" Xiao Hua sighed slightly and asked no more questions.
