Chapter 1588: Immortal Realm
"Shouldn't there be ten centurions?" Xia Yunjie glanced at the seven people and asked.
"Sir Hui, the other three centurions died in the previous bandit suppression, and have not yet been added." One of the tall centurions replied.
"So that's how it is." Xia Yunjie nodded, and then asked in confusion: "I see that our Qianxi County has a large population and many strong people, why did he not add it in time after the soldiers were killed?"
When Xia Yunjie asked, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, the tall centurion sighed and said, "Don't you know that the monsters and demons in Qianxi County are rampant, and I don't know how many mountains and territory are occupied by big and small. Although we represent the Heavenly Court, we are actually in control of this county town and the territory of more than 2,000 miles around. It is less than one percent of the territory of Qianxi County. Our real strength is not as good as some demon kings and sects. It was nothing, no matter what I said.
We still represent the Heavenly Court. Generally speaking, the forces of all hills, large and small, would not take the initiative to cause trouble for us. Lord Zhou Liang was quite ambitious and wanted to kill demons and eliminate demons, and gathered the forces of all hills in Qianxi County that did not obey the orders of the Heavenly Court. He launched several consecutive expeditions. As a result, not only did not capture any hills, but instead suffered losses of soldiers and generals, and even lost some territory. At one point, some demon kings and demons attacked the county town. Fortunately, the county town was high and strong, so they had just defended it, otherwise even the Qianxi County Government would be gone."
"Sir, think about it. In this case, who dares to enlist in the army? We are also helpless. First, we can get paid and no labor required to work. Second, there are practice techniques in the army. We have no school and no sect to go further in our practice. However, we are a way to join the army. Of course, at first, we wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and we were promoted to the army. But now we don't think so. Why did we join the army?"
Later, the centurion asked Xia Yunjie instead.
Xia Yunjie looked at the centurion's puzzled expression and couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly. Only now did he understand why those people looked at him with curious eyes. It turned out that the official power here was not only not as powerful as the Immortal Welcoming Official and Immortal Lie Shan said, but it was also a clay Buddha who could not protect himself from crossing the river.
However, after a bitter smile, Xia Yunjie felt a little happy.
As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times. He has the strength to be with him, but he is afraid that heroes will be useless. Now such troubled times just give him the opportunity to make his mark. Moreover, the Heavenly Court is weak here, which also facilitates him to establish his own power.
"I ascended from the lower realm. I recommend this to come, and I will come." Xia Yunjie thought in his mind and replied casually.
"So that's it." The seven centurions all suddenly realized, and then a hint of pity and sympathy appeared in their eyes.
Obviously they were sympathizing with Xia Yunjie and being deceived by Yingxian Official.
"But a real man should be a man who fights on the battlefield and expands territory. Although the situation is not good now, it is a good opportunity for us to make contributions." Xia Yunjie saw everyone looking at him with sympathy, and couldn't help but laugh and cry secretly, and spoke to inspire them.
"Sir, don't have this idea. Lord Zhou Liang thought so back then, but now, he has given up a long time ago. As long as we can defend the county town and the surrounding area of 800 miles, don't think too much about anything else." Seeing that the newly appointed commander of thousands of men was still thinking about fighting on the battlefield and expanding territory, the seven centurions couldn't help but turn pale in their faces and hurriedly persuaded them.
They don't want to be cannon fodder.
Seeing that he not only failed to inspire their fighting spirit, Xia Yunjie frightened them so much that his face turned pale. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly, but he knew that it was not their fault. He simply changed the topic and began to learn about the affairs of the fairy world from them.
"There are ten continents and three islands in the fairy world, four heavens and one courtyard. Ten continents refer to the Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou, Jukuazhou. The three islands refer to Penglai, Fangzhou, Canghai. Between these ten continents and three islands, there are four seas in the southeast, southwest and northwest. The four heavens refer to the Da Chitian, Qingweitian, Yuyutian and the West. It is said that these four heavens are the Human Resources, the Ancient Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Western Sect Master each use their supreme magic power to open up in the chaos.
The world I came from is not something I can know. One courtyard refers to the heavenly court. The heavenly court is not on our earth, but on the heavenly court. It is said that the sea of clouds floats above the nine heavenly wind layer and the thunder and fire layer. It is said that the sea of clouds are all the essence condensed by the essence of the immortal energy, called the immortal cloud, and the heavenly court is on it. Unfortunately, although we are also called the heavenly court soldiers, in fact, we will never have the chance to see it in this life."
"As long as you work hard, there will always be a chance." Xia Yunjie encouraged.
"Haha, sir, you may still have hope. I will never know if I can cultivate to a celestial immortal in this life. Even if I have to work hard to fly the clouds and fog, it is like a snail, so how can I have the ability to pass through the nine heavenly wind and thunder fire? Don't have this delusion or this delusion." The seven centurions shook their heads one after another.
"Since you have the fate to follow me, one day I will take you up to see the heavenly court." Xia Yunjie said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." The seven centurions clasped their fists and smiled, but looking at their smiling expressions, they obviously did not take this matter seriously.
Seeing this, Xia Yunjie smiled, so naturally he would not insist on them believing that they have this ability.
"We are now located in a county in Wenqiao Prefecture, Shiqu County, one of the ten continents, and Qianxi County. Tianting divides Jukuzhou into 800 counties. Each county is divided into 800 prefectures, and below each prefecture is divided into 800 counties. In addition, there is also a fief of fiefs that the Heavenly Court granted to the commendable soldiers and the King Gongsun."
"I have been to our next county at the farthest time so far, but what the outside world knows is extremely limited. I only know that I gather in the Caves and Continents, even if the celestial immortals are unable to travel all their lives, there are even a powerful person who can travel thousands of miles with the sun and the moon, and a fight can travel 100,000 miles with one person." The tall centurion continued to introduce, with a hint of yearning and longing in his eyes.
They just said that the territory under Qianxi County government is more than 2,000 miles in radius, but less than one percent of the entire Qianxi County. If converted into area, the entire Qianxi County will be almost equivalent to the area of an earth. There are 800 prefectures, 800 prefectures, and 800 counties in an continent. How many earths are there?
