Dream Journey from Shaolin

Chapter 260
Jiang Ming swept his consciousness, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian uniform on the city wall, with a strong aura of righteousness, and a smile on his face, coming towards the Xuanmu patriarchal boat.
"Confucian scholars of the sixth grade!"

To be able to fly with awe-inspiring righteousness, this middle-aged man has at least the cultivation base of the sixth rank or higher,

On the other side, Yuan Zhuo explained:
"This is the Taicang Cheng of Zhentian Mansion - Lord Sikou!"

"Taicang Cheng?"

Jiang Ming is still relatively vague about the official positions in this world. He only knows that the highest official of Zhentian Mansion is the Governor of Zhentian Mansion. As for the names of the officials below him, the specific powers and so on, he is not very clear.
"What exactly?"

Jiang Ming continued to ask,
At this moment, before Yuan Zhuo could speak, Chen Jinyun had already explained:

"Master Sikou, he is an official of the Finance Department of Zhentianfu. He is mainly responsible for the procurement and distribution of the elixir for the warriors of the entire Zhentianfu. In the past, every time I came to the city with Uncle Xuanyun to buy alchemy ingredients and hand over elixir, it was the He received it!"

"I remember the last time I came to participate in the Grand Competition, Master Si Kou also came to receive us!"

After Chen Jinyun finished speaking, Yuan Zhuo interrupted again.

"A civil servant in the finance department has at least six grades of cultivation, the strength of this Tianfu is not weak!"

Hearing Yuan Zhuo's explanation, Jiang Ming secretly sighed.

But yes, the Confucian officials in this world are all blessed with the luck of the race. Confucians of the seventh rank can display the strength of the sixth rank after they have an official position.
Therefore, it can be said that a random civil servant from the Finance Department has the strength of the sixth rank.

"Pindao has met Master Sikou, and Junior Brother Xuanji is in retreat, so from then on, the external affairs will be taken care of by the poor Daoist!"

Mu Xuanyang first made a series, and then slowly explained.

Because his disciple Zhu Shiqing had broken through the sixth rank, Mu Xuanji was rewarded by the head of the sect to remove his position as an external affairs elder, and he concentrated his energy on retreating to break through the cultivation base.
So at present, Mu Xuanyang is the new foreign affairs elder of Xuanmu Sect.

After the two had a brief chat, Mu Xuanyang steered the Xuanmu patriarchal boat and landed outside the city gate, then let a group of disciples disembark, and finally waved his hand to shrink the boat and put it away.

"Elder brothers and elder sisters from each peak, take the disciples from their own peaks, and follow me into the city!"

After giving instructions to the group of disciples standing at the gate of the city, Mu Xuanyang stretched out his hand to Master Si Kou, and the two walked towards the gate of the city together.
"Brothers and sisters, imperial weapons are not allowed to fly in Zhentianfu City, let's go!"

Yuan Zhuo made an extra reminder, and led the Tianzhu Peak disciples to follow first.

Other Feng senior brothers and sisters followed closely behind with their own Feng disciples.

"Which sect is this, so many Taoists, and Master Si Kou specially greets them?"

"I haven't seen it yet. You can tell by looking at the emerald green Taoist robe, it must be one of the six sects, the Xuanmu sect!"

"Oh, it's the master of alchemy, no wonder no wonder!"

Along the way, Jiang Ming often heard similar conversations,
Apparently, hundreds of Taoist priests wearing uniform Taoist uniforms appeared on the street at the same time, and there was a civil servant who was not low in the city in front of them, and there were still some eye-catching people in the city.

However, along the way, he also discovered that not only is the city wall taller in Tianfu City, but the buildings inside are also much larger than the Qingyou City he has seen before.
And on the street, as far as the eye can see, except for some young children, ordinary people without cultivation are almost invisible.

Even if it is an ordinary woman leaning against the door and holding a child, Jiang Ming can sense the strength of the other party's physical body with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, at least at the level of the ninth-rank intermediate level,

And as Yan Wushuang said before, in Zhongling County, warriors of the eighth rank are already counted as masters in the county.
In this town of Tianfu City, Jiang Ming can feel a large area of ​​eighth-rank warriors with a single sweep of his spiritual sense, and even seventh-rank warriors are not rare.
Only the warriors of the sixth rank will take a while to notice one.

No wonder, no wonder everyone Jiang Ming met said that warriors are the most numerous and least valuable among the three major systems of the Jin Dynasty.
No wonder the elder sister Chen Jinyun immediately made him a master of Taoism when she knew that he was talented as a Taoist, even if he could break through to a seventh-rank martial artist without any bottlenecks,
He didn't feel much before, because he had never seen so many warriors in Taiping Town, in Xuanmuzong, and later in Qingyou City.

Of course, this is also inevitable. Compared with Taoists and Confucians, warriors are the cultivation system with the lowest requirements. As long as you are willing to spend time and money, at least you can cultivate to the eighth rank without any problem.
And as one of the eighteen prefectures in the entire northern border, the common people who can live in Zhentianfu City, how can they lack the money to buy pills for so many years?

If a child is born without the talent of a Taoist or a Confucianist, then a warrior must be the only way to change his destiny.

The thoughts and knowledge of the people who can live in the environment of Beijing City are not comparable to those of the following states, counties, and towns.
They know that even if they give everything they have, they must let their children become practitioners,
Generations after generations, even an ordinary woman in Beijing City is a ninth-rank warrior.
Just like in the previous modern society, children born in the countryside, unless they are very talented, can step out of the countryside step by step, work hard in the city, and have good grades.

But some children born in cities, many of them have what rural children can only have after a lifetime of struggle.

Jiang Ming once read an article called "I have struggled for 18 years to sit and drink coffee with you", which is about such a cruel reality,

And this class gap will only be more obvious in an ancient society like Dajin.

However, having said that, the large number of warriors does not mean that the warriors are really weak. The sixth-rank Jiedushi in Qingyou City shot an arrow at the elders of the Demon Sect, but Jiang Ming saw it with his own eyes.
The Great Jin was able to establish a country, drive away monsters, ghosts, and zombies, and was able to overwhelm Taoism, relying on Confucianists and warriors, and the largest number of warriors accounted for a very important proportion.

It's just that Confucians need a smart brain, so all Confucians with a high level of cultivation can turn their brains faster, so they need to command the army, manage the city,

The role of the Taoist is not only all kinds of powerful spells, not only the powerful combat power, the Taoist can also refine the pills that the warrior needs, can refine the magic weapon, and can use spells to do many things that the warrior cannot do.

Therefore, after a comprehensive comparison, in terms of social status, warriors will appear to be less valuable.

Under the leadership of Lord Si Kou, the disciples of Xuanmuzong walked for about a quarter of an hour before they came to a large inn called Zhentian Inn.
This Zhentian Inn is the official inn of Zhentian Mansion, and it is specially used to receive distinguished guests.
