2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 31

Du Heng didn't pay any more attention to the situation of Liu Mi and Yan Tong, the two mortals.

After he took 3000 taels of silver notes from the Jubao Bank, he went to the Shunfeng Escort in the south of the city.

The head of the escort here is named Zhang Zhen, who is over fifty years old, has the cultivation base of the Profound Pass, and is powerful. He was also an inner disciple of Chunyang Temple when he was in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now he can only serve as an employee of Chunyangguan, managing the bodyguard industry under Chunyangguan.

After Du Heng came to the Shunfeng Escort Bureau, it was still the same process of first taking out the token, and then asking the servant to call the head of the Escort.

However, unlike the Jubao Bank, which is full of people, there are quite a few people in the Shunfeng Escort.

The entire bodyguard bureau is actually a large courtyard with three entrances, the outermost courtyard is the largest. When Du Heng came here, there were already many bodyguards carrying goods here, packing their bags, and getting ready to go.

At first, these bodyguards thought Du Heng was here to entrust the bid, so they didn't pay much attention.

After all, it is not their job to receive guests.

The bodyguard just needs to deliver the things.

But when Du Heng revealed his identity, these bodyguards immediately rushed up and surrounded him.

"You are the young exiled immortal, great, you have finally come down the mountain!"

"Immortal Master Xu Jing is extraordinary at first glance, he will definitely be able to roam the world in the future, and he will be famous in the list!"

"Immortal Chief, my name is Wang San. I grew up in the Escort Bureau since I was a child. I want to worship Chunyang Temple even in my dreams!"

"Good guy, Wang San, you don't miss any chance!"

Everyone was chattering, surrounding Du Heng, yelling at each other.

"What are you doing!" At this moment, a loud shout came from the direction of the inner courtyard, "Go to work for me!"

All the bodyguards dispersed immediately, those who moved the goods, those who prepared the luggage, all returned to their previous state.

Afterwards, the owner of that voice came to Du Heng, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Zhen, chief escort of Shunfeng, pays homage to Immortal Chief Xu Jing, I already know the purpose of Immortal Chief's visit, please come in and talk."

"Well, I'm sorry." Du Heng nodded.

……

Du Heng and Zhang Zhen went into the room to discuss, while the bodyguards outside put down their work and gathered together excitedly.

"This young exiled immortal has finally descended from the mountain. This is a genius that most of the world is paying attention to. He will definitely be at the top of the list in the future!"

"Hey, I said why are you so happy? Even if Immortal Master Xu Jing really climbs to the top of the list and earns a place to recruit disciples for Chunyang Temple, it may not be our turn."

"Yeah, big brother, third senior sister, they are all talented wizards, even if Chunyang temple has a quota for recruiting disciples, they must be considered first."

"What if Immortal Master Xu Jing becomes number one on the list? In that case, there will be ten places in a year. If he dominates the list for more than ten years, there will be more than 100 places!"

"Hahaha, you have a good idea. Du Kai, who is now number one on the list, is known as the 'young emperor', and even the strong ones in the Juding realm must be treated with caution. Although Immortal Master Xujing is strong, he wants to compete for the list First, there should still be a gap."

"Even if we can't get to the top of the list, we can win a lot of disciple places for Chunyangguan. For us, this is our hope!"

For the escorts of the Shunfeng Escort, the biggest pursuit is to join the Chunyang Temple and become an official disciple of the Chunyang Temple.

Because, to a certain extent, they should be regarded as the outer disciples of Chunyang Temple.

Although the Zhao court imposed a great limit on the number of disciples recruited by the sect, there are policies and countermeasures.

Some well-established sects, when the Great Zhao was first established, converted the former outer and inner disciples into hired workers, responsible for managing their own sect's property.

In name, these hired workers cannot practice Zongmen martial arts.

But the martial arts of the first three levels can be bought casually, without too many restrictions.

If you have money and access, you can also buy the "Wuzhu" breathing method, and if you have any adventures, you can even get high-level "Wuzhu" martial arts.

Generally speaking, the sect to which the hired worker belongs is the source of this "no master" martial arts.

In today's Great Zhao Wulin, this kind of situation is quite common.

Such as Chunyangguan, Zhujiange, and Shenxiao Palace, which are not considered the top, but have a large scale, basically use this method for preliminary evaluation and selection.

When I have a quota for recruiting disciples, I will legally recruit former employees as formal disciples.

This is the case with the Shunfeng Escort.

In fact, the Zhao court also knew that these sects were doing this, but they always turned a blind eye to it.

This is a "way of survival" left on purpose.

It's a conspiracy.

For the vast majority of big factions with a long history, as long as there is a "survival", they can continue to live on, and they will not gamble on everything.

If the road is completely blocked, it is more likely to cause problems.

Moreover, even if such a "way of survival" is kept, the number of disciples that the major sects can recruit has also been greatly reduced. Over time, it will naturally decline inevitably.

Boiling them in warm water is the best way to kill these big sects.

As for those small and medium-sized sects that have no family background, it is difficult to convert former outer disciples into hired workers, and they cannot establish a secret screening mechanism, they can only decline quickly.

But their strength is also small, and they are destined to be unable to stir up any storms.

From the perspective of the Great Zhao court, these small and medium sects will be destroyed if they are destroyed, it is no big deal.

……

"Xu Jing Xianchang, look, these are the routes we will run in the near future." Zhang Zhen put a dart transport route map on the table.

While pointing it to Du Heng, he introduced it.

"These two are within Yongzhou, respectively to Pingyuan County and Yungao County, and these three are to go outside Yongzhou, respectively to Kaizheng County, Pingrong County in Qingzhou, and Anbo Country in Hezhou. .”

The Great Zhao inherited the Zhou system, and the prefecture and county system was paralleled with the enfeoffment system. Most of them were prefectures and counties, but some clans would also be crowned kings, usually by setting aside a county to establish a country.

For example, Anbo State used to be Anbo County, and was granted by Chen Ju to his third son Chen Kang in the second year of Huang Jia.

Therefore, this place became the Anbo Kingdom, and Chen Kang was also the King of Anbo.

"Anbo Country is near the sea." Du Heng looked at the map and said.

"Well." Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, Anbo Country is near the sea, with prosperous sea trade and numerous sea merchants. There is a great demand for the special products of the Central Plains. This time, the products shipped to Anbo Country are our Yongzhou specialty products. The goods imported by the county Qian’s family are to be sold to sea merchants.”

"Then go to Anbo Country." Du Heng directly made a decision.

He is going to try to see if he can incorporate the sea into his kidneys as a scene of the Five Elements.

Moreover, there should be many overseas people in Anbo Country, who can also broaden their horizons.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

……

Qingzhou, the county seat of Sanyuan.

Jiang Huaixi said to the girl in front of her with some reluctance: "Sister Cheng, you are going to Anbo Country soon, don't you want to play with me for a few more days?"
