Chapter 767: A prosperous era and a powerful nation

Xiyuan Road, Pingyuan County.

When Zhou Qingchu set foot on the territory of Eastern Zhou, he came here, which was the border between Zhou and Jin.

Unlike Qi and Jin, there was no such unit as state in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Dao was the largest administrative unit within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The states of Qi and Jin were divided into prefectures, counties and districts and managed at different levels.

As for Zhou, it was Dao - County - Counties.

There were dozens of states within the territory of Qi, but in the Zhou Dynasty, they were divided into nine regions in total, which seemed to be a relatively small number.

However, in terms of the actual territorial area of ​​the two countries, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was larger than the Western Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, it is obvious that the size of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was far larger than the area of ​​one state in Qi and Jin, and was equivalent to the area of ​​many states combined.

There is no difference between the counties and prefectures under the prefecture/state, they are all almost the same.

Xiyuan Road is named after the Tianzang Plateau.

The Tianzang Plateau runs across the two regions of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is the largest plateau in the world. There is a Taoist sect standing on it, and countless wild beasts and demons live on it. It has a very primitive and wild scenery.

It is a mysterious and primitive ancient plateau that contains countless secrets and dangers.

Xiyuan Road and Dongyuan Road are the two territories that carry the Tianzang Plateau.

The Academy of All Saints that Zhou Qing was going to was located in the center of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, on Zhongtu Road, where the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was located.

Zhongtu Road is the core territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, surrounded by the other eight roads. From the map, there are about two roads in each of the four directions of Zhongtu Road: east, south, west and north.

If Zhou Qing wants to reach the Middle-earth Road, he needs to pass through the West Plain and East Plain Roads.

The distance is not close. After all, these are two roads, not two states.

Not long after, Zhou Qing arrived at Pingyuan County, and he still walked the world as a phoenix.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, if other demon tribes were encountered by some so-called righteous masters, they might be in danger of being killed without any discrimination.

But the Phoenix clan would definitely not encounter such a situation when traveling within the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Phoenix clan is the eternal ally of the Zhou royal family. Do you think the Phoenix clan is a demon that should be destroyed?
I think you are the monster!
Standing outside Pingyuan County, Zhou Qing looked at the city. His perception was very sharp and he noticed some patterns on the city wall. They were different from the city formations in Qi and Jin, and some new things had been added.

Especially when he entered the city, the great righteousness in his body immediately moved differently. Faintly, he seemed to sense that there was a scroll emitting great righteousness above Pingyuan City.

On the scroll, there seemed to be a glowing handwriting with a surging air, full of righteousness.

That scroll is the core of the formation, a precious treasure specially made by a master.

The Haoran Treasure continuously releases Haoran Qi, and with the help of formations, the loss rate of Haoran Qi is reduced to a minimum, the utilization rate is increased to a maximum, and it can exist for a long time.

Everyone who enters the city will be scanned to ensure that there is no problem with the identity of the entrants, and everyone living in the city is also covered by the Haoran Qi.

For example, someone who has practiced ordinary magic skills that cannot be hidden from the perception of Haoran Qi will be discovered and captured as soon as he enters the city.

Or if a ghost is born somewhere in the city, it will be sensed and suppressed at the first moment by the invisible and intangible but omnipresent great aura.

But ordinary people, or normal practitioners, will not feel anything about this.

Even living in a city shrouded in a majestic aura for a long time can make one's mind clear and less worried.

"Haoran Formation?"

Zhou Qing talked to himself in his heart, full of praise.

When he was reading various books in Xuandu Temple to understand the world situation, he saw many records about the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Haoran Magic Array has a prominent place in various classics.

A Haoran magic formation like this is the core of every city in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

With the Haoran Formation in place, the people living in every city, from the roads to the counties, are greatly protected.

In Qi and Jin, the demonic cultivators and some bloodthirsty monsters can easily sneak into many cities and commit murders.

But in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Haoran Formation could exclude most of the evil cultivators and monsters.

It is true that the profound inheritance of the various sects of the Demon Sect and their great righteousness cannot usually be sensed in advance.

But how many people are able to practice advanced magic skills?

Most of the demon cultivators practice low-level magic skills and are not very powerful. Their identities will be exposed immediately with just a little investigation.

But the damage they brought was not small at all, because there were too many of them. Even if each of them only killed one person a month, the number of victims added up in one place would be hundreds or even tens of thousands.

But to tell you a joke from hell, those demons who practice magic and have completely fallen into the devil's way can be considered "great good people" if they only kill one person a month.

It can be said that these demons are the biggest source of danger to the people.

After all, the righteous way is flourishing in this world, and the big evil ones are also very low-key, so things like directly massacring a city are relatively rare.

The Haoran magic formation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can prevent these largest number of demons from causing trouble to the greatest extent.

If it were during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, something like the rebellion in the counties of Tianyue County would never have happened.

The same goes for evil spirits, zombies, and other evil spirits.

It is hard to say about those demon cultivators who have practiced advanced magic skills, but among the three human kingdoms, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is indeed the place with the least number of demon cultivators, and it can be described as peaceful.

The Haoran magic formation that exists in every city alone is enough to restrain those ordinary demon cultivators, leaving them with no room to display their abilities.

In fact, Qi and Jin were very envious of this.

In this world where demons are constantly being cultivated, the safety of the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is guaranteed. Over time, as generations pass, the population naturally increases.

Compared with the other two countries, even if only one thousand people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were saved from the clutches of the evil cultivators every year, then fifty years later, the size of the descendants of these one thousand would be considerable.

What’s more, the real number is many times higher than this thousand people.

As the population of ordinary people increases, the overall number of practitioners will naturally increase, and the impact will be progressive and far-reaching.

The spiritual world has always relied on the secular world for its existence, and the two are inseparable.

However, although Qi and Jin were envious, they did not have the ability to replicate the situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Haoran Formation belongs to the Academy of All Saints. Some say it was left by the legendary saints, while others say it was created and perfected by the predecessors of the academy. It is different from ordinary formations, and it is not as simple as just having an additional Haoran treasure as the center of the formation.

In addition, there is the Haoran treasure which is the eye of the formation. Each Haoran treasure is taken out from the Academy of All Saints and is not available anywhere else.

Moreover, the Haoran Qi in the Haoran Treasure is not infinite. No matter how slowly it is consumed, there will be a day when it will run out.

At that time, the local academy will need to apply to the higher authorities, and then the masters of the Academy of All Saints will come to replenish the Haoran Qi to the Haoran Treasure.

Without the masters of the academy, even if you obtain the Haoran treasure and set up the Haoran magic formation, it will not last long.

These conditions made Qi and Jin states only envious.

Zhou Qing strolled in Pingyuan City, observing the city and also observing the country.

The people of the Zhou Dynasty, as a whole, did have a better mental outlook. After all, they were silently nourished by the great energy of heaven, and their lives seemed to be more abundant.

Of course, there are definitely some shortcomings, which are problems that cannot be solved.

Walking along the way, Zhou Qing subconsciously came to the place with the strongest Haoran energy in the city.

Pingyuan County Academy.

Zhou Qing stood outside and took a look, and he was sure that there was more than one Haoran treasure inside.

Haoran’s treasure is actually not that mysterious, Zhou Qing can also make it.

When copying classics, or painting or sculpting, you should concentrate fully and complete these tasks with a noble spirit, leaving your own ideas in the work.

After completion, the Haoran Qi will be consumed, but it can be recovered slowly later and will not affect anything.

However, this is just an ordinary method of making Haoran treasures. There are some advanced Haoran treasures inside the Academy of All Saints, which have extremely powerful and special effects.

If you want to make a high-level Haoran treasure, it is not easy to do.

The core of the Haoran magic formation is this kind of high-level Haoran treasure.

At this time, brisk footsteps sounded behind Zhou Qing. He turned around and saw a little girl with a pigtail and a cloth bag on her back, jumping towards him.

She also saw Zhou Qing. She looked up and was stunned for a moment. This pause caused her to trip over her left foot and fall directly to the ground.

"Oh, it doesn't hurt?"

Little Radish Head looked at the ground and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Qing supported her and said with a smile: "You didn't fall, of course it doesn't hurt."

The little carrot head looked up at Zhou Qing and sniffed.

"Big brother, you are so beautiful."

"Big brother, this is not beautiful, it's handsome."

"hansome?"

The little carrot-head tilted his head and said, "The teacher hasn't taught me this word yet. What does it mean?"

Before Zhou Qing could answer, Little Radish Head stopped worrying about Yingjun's intention, took off his cloth bag, rummaged through it, and finally took out an oil paper bag.

"Big brother, I'll treat you to meat pie!"

Zhou Qing smiled and patted her head, then asked:

"Why did you ask me to eat meat pie?"

"Because my big brother held me up and prevented me from falling, otherwise it would have been very painful!"

Little guy, it’s quite interesting.

"Big brother, you're not hungry now. You can keep the meat pie. This is your lunch, right? You should keep it for yourself."

"No."

Little Radish Head shook his head. "The academy gave us food, and it was delicious." "This was bought for Niu Niu by Niu Niu's friend. She was sick, and Niu Niu was taking care of her in the academy. Niu Niu went to her house just now, and she bought me some delicious meat pies."

"She said she was thanking Niuniu for taking care of her, so Niuniu also wanted to thank big brother!"

"Niuniu is such a good kid." Zhou Qing wiped her nose and said:
"Since it's given by a good friend, then Niuniu, eat it. Big brother is not hungry."

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "No, no, Niu Niu doesn't want to eat it either. I want to take it back and give it to Daddy and Mommy."

"Niuniu can eat meat in the academy, but Daddy and the others can't. We give them meat pies."

Zhou Qing was stunned. Looking at Niu Niu's very simple coarse cloth clothes, his heart was touched.

"Niuniu is really sensible."

"Big brother, you really don't want to eat?"

Zhou Qing refused again, and Niu Niu carefully put away the oil paper bag.

"Is Niuniu studying in the academy? How long has she been studying?"

"One year!"

"How is it in the academy?"

"very good."

Niuniu nodded quickly, "There are delicious meals, lots of friends, and an old gentleman who loves to laugh!"

"How much tuition does Niuniu have to pay every year to study in the academy?"

"tuition fee?"

Niuniu was confused, "What is that?"

"How much do I have to pay to the academy?"

“You don’t have to pay.”

Niuniu shook her head. "The teacher said that there are villages nearby Pingyuan City, villages... villages and towns! Yes, it is the word village and town. As long as the children are willing to come to school, the academy is willing to teach them for free."

Zhou Qing was silent. Dong Zhou, has it already reached this point?
Niu Niu was only eight or nine years old, not old enough to practice cultivation. She went to the academy to study, but she was really studying instead of learning how to practice cultivation.

In such a world, providing children with free education sounds a bit like a dream.

Zhou Qing traveled to many places in Qi and Jin, but had never encountered such a thing.

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, All Saints Academy...

Zhou Qing has lived two lives as a human being. The situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty inevitably reminded him of the environment in his previous life, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while.

Free education and meals provided, it doesn't sound like it should be in such an environment.

"Reading and learning to write is a good thing. Niuniu remember to study hard."

"Niuniu is the most serious! Gentlemen always praise Niuniu!"

"Niuniu is awesome."

Zhou Qing smiled, and a ray of magical power entered Niu Niu's body, warming her body and strengthening her muscles and bones.

The magic of mana can be used not only in combat.

The quality of Zhou Qing's magic power is so high that a strand of his magic power can nourish a mortal child, which can be said to be a complete cleansing of the bones and marrow.

Niu Niu will definitely be free from all diseases in her life. She will be strong and healthy, with sharp eyes and hearing. All the diseases that ordinary people suffer from will never appear in her.

Niu Niu didn't feel any changes brought about by the nourishing of her body, and Zhou Qing deliberately didn't let her experience it.

After all, they are still children. If there are some changes in their bodies, it is inevitable that things will be revealed.

Zhou Qing took out a few more stones and handed them to Niu Niu.

"Niuniu, don't lose this gift from your big brother. Give it to your father and mother when you get home."

"what is this?"

"Something that can let your father and mother eat meat."

These are actually a few pieces of silver, but Zhou Qing used special means to cover them up, making them look like stones.

Only when Niu Niu's parents come into contact with it, and the blood and qi are drawn to it, will the true appearance of the silver be revealed.

Otherwise, they will remain stones forever.

However, if a venerable Yin Shen who has reached the third level of transformation saw these pieces of silver, he would be able to detect the problem.

But the Yin God's three transformations...

There is none in the entire Pingyuan City.

In this way, these few pieces of silver will not bring disaster to Niu Niu's family, but will only make the family live a better life.

In Niu Niu's view, these things were just stones on the roadside, so there was nothing wrong with collecting them. She directly put the "stones" into the cloth bag.

In fact, there is no need to worry even if it is lost, because Niu Niu has Zhou Qing's magical power on her body, and the stone will run away by herself if it is lost.

The use of some small tricks by monks.

"Let's go to the academy."

"Ok!"

Niu Niu jumped and ran towards the academy. When she reached the door, she waved at Zhou Qing, who responded with a smile.

After watching Niu Niu disappear, Zhou Qing also turned and left.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, what a great Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The city of Pingyuan alone opened Zhou Qing's eyes.

It is no wonder that its national strength is the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. If the situation is the same everywhere in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, then it deserves to be the strongest.

Under such a model, how many talents will emerge in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
This is a terrifying statistic when you think about it carefully.

The academy system was a unique force in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

With the Academy of All Saints as the source, there are academies in every province, county, and county below.

Compared with the Ghost and God Department and Dingwu Department of the Qi Dynasty, the academies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were more like schools.

The academies in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty taught Taoism and martial arts, so it seems that they were no different from some sects.

But the biggest difference between an academy and a martial arts school or a martial arts sect is that an academy also teaches and educates people and imparts knowledge.

In academies at all levels in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, even if you are a practitioner with profound abilities and extraordinary talents, you still have to study classics and read books!
The true disciples of the Saints’ College should also study the writings of the saints and the scriptures of the ancient sages.

In this country, culture, morality and martial arts go hand in hand!
The existence of academies gave the common people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty an opportunity to avoid being fooled.

With a vast territory, a large population and intelligent people, how could such a country not be strong?

And after being taught in the academy, the people here have an extremely strong sense of identity with their country, because they remember the kindness that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had shown them.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was powerful not only in the world of cultivation, but also in all aspects, surpassing the other two countries.

Even Zhou Qing, a time traveler, had a very good first impression of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Pingyuan City gave Zhou Qing a real understanding of the giant Eastern Zhou Dynasty, instead of just staying on paper as before.

Ten days later.

Zhou Qing passed through Xiyuan and Dongyuan roads, entered the Middle Earth Road, and came to the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Capital of Gods.

Xiyujing, Dongshendu and Nantianyi are three capitals famous throughout the world.

The gods were both very majestic and extremely ancient. Zhou Qing took a look at them from afar and felt that they were like prehistoric beasts that had been sleeping.

By this time, Zhou Qing had returned to his original appearance and was acting as Zhou Qing of Xuandu Temple.

Taking his gaze away from the Divine Capital, Zhou Qing walked towards the east of the Divine Capital.

Although he came here, there was no need for him to enter the capital for the time being.

Because the Academy of All Saints is not located in the Divine Capital, but in a scenic spot to the east of the Divine Capital.

Unlike Xuandu Temple, which is respected as the state religion of Da Qi, it only has one branch temple in Yujing.

All Saints' College is headquartered here, right next to the Cathedral.

The two top Taoist sects, the Zhou royal family and the Academy of All Saints, are crowded here.

From this point, we can see that their relationship is very special.

If you move Xuandu Temple to the side of Yujing, the royal family of Daqi will definitely not be able to sleep well.

The two places were only about ten miles apart, and Zhou Qing soon arrived outside the Academy of All Saints.

At first glance, there are groups of buildings and continuous houses.

But compared with the powerful Taoist sects that Zhou Qing had seen before, the architectural style of the Academy of All Saints was relatively simple.

With white walls, green tiles and brick and stone roads, at first glance it really looks like an academy rather than a place for practicing Taoism.

This made Zhou Qing, who was used to the fairy-like style of Xuandu Temple, feel a little uncomfortable at first glance.

First of all, there is a bluestone archway with four large characters "Zhusheng Academy" inscribed neatly and neatly.

Zhou Qing glanced at the four words and seemed to see an old man in a trance, concentrating on carving the words, with a long river of boundless righteousness pouring into the words.

Closing his eyes slightly, these illusions disappeared. Zhou Qing took a deep look at the "College of All Saints", then retracted his gaze and walked straight forward.

Not far from the archway, a guard disciple stopped Zhou Qing and asked him what was the matter.

"Xuan Du Temple Zhou Qing has come as promised."
