Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 1110 Jizhou Yongzhou
Because traveling in Yuzhou took a lot of time, and there was not much time left before the Nascent Soul Banquet of the 'Ziyang' Cui's family in Boling County, Jizhou, Liang Zhaohuang did not travel slowly to Yanzhou and Jizhou, but went straight to Boling away from the county.

As for the land of these two states, you can travel slowly later.

The Cui family of 'Ziyang' is also a nobleman of Sipin County. Unlike 'Yujian', the children of the Chen family are all in the army under the command of the royal family. Most of the children of the Cui family serve as royal officials, and their relationship with the royal family is also very close.

The Cui family's Nascent Soul Banquet was not much different, but the rituals, music, etiquette, ceremonial guards, procedures, etc. in the whole process were more complicated and solemn than those of the 'Jade Sword' Chen family.

The "Yujian" Chen family's Nascent Soul Banquet, from all aspects, has surpassed the several Nascent Soul Banquets that Liang Zhaohuang has experienced before in terms of "red tape".

And 'Ziyang' Cui family is even worse.

This should be related to the etiquette, etiquette and other habits developed by these "Wuling Junwang" who have served the royal family for thousands of years.

In particular, most of the 'Ziyang' Cui family served as royal officials, and they paid the most attention to these rituals, music, etiquette, etc.

These were vividly displayed at the Cui family's Nascent Soul Banquet.

Liang Zhaohuang didn't have much opinion on these. He only recorded his own observations, which can be regarded as enriching his own database. At least from it, he can see the temperament and habits of some "Wuling County Wang" clans. , can also do some reference.

As for the various spiritual meals on the banquet, there is not much difference from the 'Jade Sword'. At most, the Chen family is more rough, and the Cui family is more detailed; Lingniang is mostly sweet wine and so on.

It is also related to the differences in the origin and environment of the two families.

The 'Yujian' Chen family is mostly in the army, fighting on the battlefield, and is used to rough spirits and spirits; while the 'Ziyang' Cui family mostly serves as internal officials in the royal family, and they pay attention to 'never tire of eating fine food', Naturally, the various spiritual meals prepared at the Nascent Soul Banquet also follow this standard.

All kinds of pasta and spiritual food made by Lingmai are mostly exquisitely carved, and even have the beauty of art.

Liang Zhaohuang compared the feasts of the two banquets, and considered the background and environment of the two families, but he also gained something special.

After the banquet, Zhenjun Yuanying of the Cui family of 'Ziyang' gave a speech on the stage.

The inheritance of the Cui family's practice is the Tao of Lao Yang among the rare "Ways of Yin and Yang". Zhenjun Cui's preaching is naturally also the Tao of Lao Yang.

Although it is different from Liang Zhaohuang's practice of the Five Elements, but at their level and cultivation base, all the avenues can also be used as a reference for inferences, and there is nothing to gain.

What's more, the five elements are also divided into yin and yang. The inheritance of the "Five Qi Lotus Sutra" of the Liang family needs to collect the qi of yin and yang and the five elements separately in the foundation building stage to accumulate and improve the innate spiritual skills; There are sacrifices of thunder beads such as yin and yang and five elements, etc.; when it comes to the Nascent Soul Feast, to practice and understand the power of the five elements and the principles of the Dao, you must also understand and operate the yin and yang.

However, in the practice world, there are only a small number of forces and monks who practice the inheritance of the way of yin and yang.

This time, Liang Zhaohuang encountered a "Ziyang" Cui Jiazheng who practiced "Lao Yang's way" to give a lecture. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to listen to his sermon carefully, and compared his own practice and perception, he gained a lot.

At the same time, he also recorded the content of the other party's sermons, which can be used as reference materials for the family's children to enlighten and practice after taking them back.

The Nascent Soul Banquet of the Cui family lasted for three days.

After the Nascent Soul Banquet was over, Liang Zhaohuang did not leave in a hurry, he stayed with Zhenjun Yuanying from some aristocratic families, and discussed with Cui Family Zhenjun.

Because the practice of Yin-Yang is rare, not only Liang Zhaohuang is interested in it, but also Yuanying Zhenjun from many aristocratic families are quite interested, so they are willing to discuss the way with Cui Family Zhenjun.

Naturally, True Monarch Cui Family is also willing to do so, which is not only beneficial to his cultivation, it can give him a lot of experience and guidance in cultivation in Nascent Soul Realm, and it is also beneficial to the development of 'Ziyang' Cui Family.

After all, although the Cui family of 'Ziyang' is deeply bound to the royal family, even if they are promoted to a powerful family in the future, they will inevitably be controlled by the royal family. It is also beneficial.

This discussion lasted for nearly a month, and everyone who participated in it got something.

Later, it even attracted more true monarchs from all walks of life to participate, and developed into a grand event, which was also a chance for the Cui family of 'Ziyang' to become famous.

A month later, Liang Zhaohuang, who had gained a lot, bid farewell to the 'Ziyang' Cui family, and Yuanying Zhenjun, who discussed Taoism, and continued his travels.

Of course, this discussion not only made him more fruitful in practice, but he also forged more or less friendship with the Cui family of 'Ziyang' and all parties participating in the discussion. This is also a big gain.

After leaving Cui's house, Liang Zhaohuang spent more than a month traveling around Jizhou.

Although Jizhou and Yuzhou are both one of the five states controlled by the royal family of the Xian Dynasty, due to the terrain, environment, location, etc., the customs and customs of the two states are quite different.

Yuzhou is really located in the center of the Xian Dynasty, surrounded by Sizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, etc., all of which have been stable and prosperous for thousands of years. In addition, the Jin River flows through, and the terrain and plains are in harmony with each other. The Lord and so on have provided it with the most unique development environment.

But Jizhou is different. First of all, in terms of terrain, the mountains and plains each occupy half of the area. More importantly, Jizhou is connected with Bingzhou and Youzhou, and these two states are facing the largest barbarians in the north. The threatened land of two states.

Although Jizhou is separated by these two prefectures, the northern barbarians basically cannot come to Jizhou, but due to the influence of the environment and atmosphere of Bingzhou and Youzhou, Jizhou is undoubtedly more "martial" than Yuzhou .

This is exactly the opposite of the situation of the 'Yujian' Chen family and the 'Ziyang' Cui family.

The Chen family of 'Yujian' is in Yuzhou, but they are warlike sword repairmen, serving the Huanglongwei under the command of the royal family; while the Cui family of 'Ziyang' is in Jizhou, but they are 'good writers', and most of them are royal officials.

It can be said that the situation of these two families is basically the opposite of the style of the state where they are located.

After Liang Zhaohuang traveled to Yuzhou and Jizhou, watched the customs of the two states, and compared the situation of the Chen family and the Cui family, he vaguely speculated that there might be factors such as the royal family's intentional guidance and control.

The purpose is nothing more than to benefit the royal family's control of Yuzhou and Jizhou, as well as the control of these two.

From the fact that the Chen family and the Cui family were able to successfully attack the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun among the many "Wuling County Prestige" clans in the five states, we can see the inheritance, strength, background, luck, etc. of the two families. They are definitely the top of the 'Wulingjunwang' clan.

In this case, even if the Xian Dynasty royal family has enough control over them, it is understandable to make some necessary arrangements.

Thoughts in Liang Zhaohuang's mind turned, and he had a deeper understanding of the central government of the Xian Dynasty, the royal family, the "Wuling County Prestige" and so on.

These are all things that he can't really understand when he is in the family and reading all kinds of information collected by the family.

After visiting Jizhou, Liang Zhaohuang crossed Bingzhou again and headed for Yongzhou.

Next, he will participate in the Nascent Soul Banquet of the 'Qingxianteng' Luo family in Fengyi County, Yongzhou.

Along the way, I saw Bingzhou and the customs of Yongzhou.

Bingzhou is not a state directly controlled by the royal family, but the lineage of the royal family entrusted by the Beichen King is stationed in it, and even suppresses the development of the Ma family of Bingzhou's aristocratic family, plus facing the invasion of the northern barbarians, etc., it can be said that the situation is extremely complicated .

Liang Zhaohuang didn't take a detailed look at the situation in Bingzhou, but only roughly saw it. It was similar to the situation in the border states of the Xian Dynasty. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a warlike atmosphere.

On the other hand, the land of Yongzhou is one of the five states controlled by the royal family of the Xian Dynasty, and it is also the place where the Jin River flows through. It provides abundant water resources, aura and other conditions, and is very suitable for the development of humanity.

However, unlike Yuzhou, which is mostly a plain, the terrain of Yongzhou is mostly mountainous, which causes the development directions of the two states to be quite different.

Yuzhou mainly grows various grains and spiritual wheat, while Yongzhou is not suitable for extensive planting of grains and spiritual wheat because of its mountainous terrain, but it is very suitable for cultivating various elixir and spiritual plants.

Therefore, in Yongzhou, whether it is the 'Wuling County Prestige' or the Hao families in the counties and counties below, most of them have the tradition and technology of cultivating resources such as elixir and spiritual plants.

It can be said that the land of Yongzhou is the largest supply base for elixir and spiritual plants among the states of the Xian Dynasty.

The "Wuling Junwang" family in Yongzhou not only supplies a large amount of various elixir and spiritual plant resources to the central and royal families of the Immortal Dynasty every year, but also supplies many aristocratic families, county officials, and even county wealthy families, and even It is many forces outside the Xian Dynasty, etc., who sell a lot of elixir and spiritual plant resources, thereby earning back a lot of wealth and resources.

Of course, more than half of the wealth and resources earned back by these "Wuling County Princes" will be handed over to the central and royal families of the Xian Dynasty, and become the resources and strength for the development of the central and royal families of the Xian Dynasty.

But even so, these "Wuling County Prestige" families in Yongzhou, among the five states controlled by the royal family of the Xian Dynasty, are also in the forefront of wealth and affluence, which can be said to be quite enviable.

The land of Yongzhou, because of the widespread and popular cultivation of various elixir and spiritual plants, also cultivated and attracted many alchemy talents.

Because of these unique customs, many unique cultures and celebrations have developed in Yongzhou.

For example, there will be sacrifices and ceremonies before the planting of elixir, and there will be celebrations during the harvest, and large-scale trade fairs will be held every few years. The rich elixir and spiritual plant resources will attract many caravans and monks from all walks of life. Come on, there are also alchemy parties that often hold some alchemy parties and so on.

It can be said that the local conditions and customs of Yongzhou are quite unique even among the 22 prefectures of Dajin.

Of course, or it can also be said that the 22 states of Jin Dynasty should all have their own unique features and development conditions.

Liang Zhaohuang came to Yongzhou this time to participate in the Nascent Soul Banquet of the Luo Family of the 'Green Immortal Vine', just in time for a lively event. In Jingzhao County of Yongzhou, a large-scale elixir and spiritual plant trade fair will be held.

There will be a celebration at the trade fair. According to the usual practice, the fourth-rank yellow dragon in Jinhe, or other fourth-rank spirit beasts will be invited to help.

On the one hand, it is to maintain and guarantee the safety of the fair; on the other hand, it is also to highlight the grade of the fair.

When Liang Zhaohuang was traveling in Yuzhou, he heard the news of this trade fair, and became very interested.

Now that I come to Yongzhou, I can't avoid going to see it.

Liang Zhaohuang just watched the fourth-order yellow dragons, spirit beasts, and large-scale celebrations. He paid more attention to the large-scale spirit medicine and spirit plant fairs held locally.

Liang Zhaohuang wanted to take a look at the trade fair to see the production and trading of elixir and spiritual plants. If there were elixir and spiritual plants that could be cultivated by himself, his family, or even Wudu, he would not Do you mind buying some and bring them back to Wuzhou and the family.

Although the Liang family now has two caravans, the 22 states in the Xian Dynasty, plus the vast land in the East China Sea, the business that the two caravans can do is limited, and it is impossible to keep up with the various trade fairs in each place .

As far as Liang Zhaohuang knows, the family caravan led by the second sister Liang Zhaoyu will come to Yongzhou City every few years, and a larger elixir and spiritual plant fair will be held in the city every few years. Commodities, trading volume, etc. are far more than the counties below Yongzhou, such as the fair held by Jingzhao County.

As long as the Liang family's caravan participates in the trade fair held in Yongzhou City, they can purchase all kinds of elixir and spiritual plant resources they need, instead of participating in the various trade fairs held in each county below.

Only when the caravan just catches up, do you join in, and if you don't catch up, you won't come here on purpose.

Just like this time, the Liang family's caravan did not come to the elixir and spiritual plant trade fair held in Jingzhao County, Yongzhou.

So only Liang Zhaohuang participated in the trade fair by himself and purchased some necessities.

Liang Zhaohuang counted the time and rushed to Jingzhao County, just in time for the trade fair to start.

Before the start of the trade fair, the prefects and sheriffs of Jingzhao County will hold a celebration, and one of the routine activities is to offer sacrifices to the 'Medicine Immortal'.

This "medicine fairy" is one of the immortals who ascended in this world tens of thousands of years ago. It is said that the identification, cultivation and utilization of elixir in this world was developed by this "medicine fairy".

The "Elitic Medicine Compendium" compiled by it is the earliest inheritance knowledge of elixir in this world, and is regarded as the patriarch by many forces and monks who cultivate elixir.

Moreover, it is said that the land of Yongzhou was the place where this 'medicine fairy' practiced.

In today's Yongzhou, there are many counties and counties in various places, and there are many legends about the "medicine fairy", saying that the local area is related to the medicine fairy, what is done here, and what is cultivated there, etc.

Liang Zhaohuang didn't know if it was true, or if the affiliated associations of counties and counties in Yongzhou deliberately tried to tease this 'medicine fairy'.

Anyway, in the land of Yongzhou, this 'Medicine Immortal' is very respected. When going up to Yongzhou City, down to various counties and counties, various activities, celebrations, etc. are held, and this 'Medicine Immortal' will be sacrificed routinely.
