Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 575: Collecting Information about Shiyuanhai
For three days, Yang Qian was busy in the provincial capital. He would often visit Fang's family and set up magic arrays inside and outside the Fang's house to gather spirits and provide some simple defensive capabilities.

Fang Yuan asked if he could teach her parents the slow boxing, and Yang Qian naturally nodded in agreement. It was a crude method to improve Fang Yuan's health, and it was not expensive.

Fang Ce and his wife were surprised that their daughter came back to visit, and they were also surprised that their son-in-law was so generous. Although they didn't say it, they naturally thought that this set of slow boxing was one of the means to seek longevity. So every time they practiced boxing, they would drive away the servants in the house, and the couple practiced alone in the backyard, covering themselves tightly.

In addition to the Fang family, Yang Qian also went to several places to attend Yang Xun's wedding. The main reason was that the three families across the street were arranging things. At the Yang family, Yang Xun was lying on the bed and couldn't get up. If Yang Qian went there in person, it would scare people. After discussing the main things, Yang Qian threw these things to the housekeeper, asking him to run errands and then report back on important matters.

The wedding date was initially set for the seventh day of next month, which is exactly one month away.

Although the time is a bit tight, it is no problem for the three families who are not short of money. Besides, the Yang family is the most prestigious family in Jizhou Prefecture, so who wouldn't give them some convenience?

Yang Qian held a banquet at an old restaurant in Jizhou Prefecture and entertained Liu Chuan alone.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time. Lord Yang is even more impressive than before! Lord Yang's prestige in Shuangqing Prefecture is so impressive that I can hear it even from far away in Jizhou! Lord Yang is awesome!"

Liu Chuan was laughing, but he was extremely cautious in his heart.

He was facing an amazing half-immortal, and it was said that even the great masters of the Immortal Slashing Sect in Shuangqing Prefecture were not able to describe his abilities. At this point, he could no longer regard him as an old friend. Liu Chuan distanced himself from the other party in his heart, but he was still polite in his words.

To put it bluntly, at this time, even if Yang Qian destroyed the government office of Jizhou Prefecture, no one would dare to intervene.

So after Yang Qian returned to Jizhou Prefecture, Liu Chuan sent someone to send his greetings and did not bother to do anything else. He was very clear about the changes in his position and he was not qualified to go to Yang Qian, so as not to offend him.

As a result, he received a banquet invitation. Feeling puzzled and uneasy, Liu Chuan also wanted to hear why Yang Qian wanted to see him.

"You are too kind, my Lord. We only killed some low-ranking thieves. The story has been exaggerated and is getting more and more outrageous. It can't be taken seriously. Come on, my Lord, fill up the cup and let one more go!"

Yang Qian used to be a big drinker, and was also known as the "tumbler" in Jizhou Prefecture, and had no rivals in the bar. Liu Chuan knew this, and while happily clinking glasses with Yang Qian, he controlled the rhythm of drinking, not wanting to be drunk by Yang Qian in just a few gulps.

"Sir, I heard that you came back this time to arrange your brother's wedding?"

"Yes, I'll take my wife back to see her parents."

"Then you have to let me go to the wedding to have a drink."

"Of course. Here, the invitations have been prepared for the Lord of the Mansion." Yang Qian was not being polite. He flipped his hand and handed an invitation to Liu Chuan.

The two of them laughed and talked for a while, then clinked their glasses and drank.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Qian put down his chopsticks and said, "Master, I heard that you were originally from Qiliang Mansion?"

Liu Chuan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, I entered the government in Qiliang Mansion, and my family's old connections are all there. Sir, is there anything you want to ask?"

While Yang Qian was pouring wine for Liu Chuan, he continued, "Then, Lord, are you familiar with the situation in various places in Qiliang Prefecture?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it. I was an official in the Water Affairs Department of Qiliang Prefecture. Every year, I had to visit all the rivers and lakes in Qiliang Prefecture to check the water volume and determine drought and flood. Sometimes I would also visit each village and town to verify the number of wells and water volume.

Hey, in terms of familiarity, I am much more familiar with Qiliang Prefecture than Jizhou Prefecture. "The so-called Qiliang Prefecture is located in the northernmost part of the Hongwu Dynasty. It was also the place where the founding emperor of the Hongwu Dynasty started his army, and many old nobles took root there.

Liu Chuan's ancestors were once wealthy, but later fell into decline. However, they rose again in his generation.

"I heard there's a huge lake over there?"

"Oh, Sir, you mean the ten yuan sea, right?"

"Yes, it is Shiyuan Lake. I always read in books that it is the largest saltwater lake in the country. I have always been fascinated by it."

Liu Chuan didn't think much about it, thinking that Yang Qian was just curious. After all, Shi Yuanhai was indeed very famous.

"Haha, Lord, you don't know that the Ten Yuan Sea is not only the largest saltwater lake in the country, but it is also the undisputed largest saltwater lake in the entire Northern Xuan Realm. It is nine hundred miles in radius and spans the two prefectures of the two countries."

It was indeed very familiar, and Liu Chuan couldn't stop talking once he started. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, or maybe it was because he hadn't talked about it with anyone for many years, so he was in the mood. Anyway, Liu Chuan told Yang Qian everything about Shiyuanhai. He even mentioned a lot of myths and legends.

"My Lord, have you ever read a book called "Ten Yuan Strange Stories"? Hehe, that book explains the origin of the Ten Yuan Sea very clearly, and also contains many stories about immortals and gods.

Hey, my Lord is also a half-immortal, he should disdain that kind of story. I am indeed rude."

As Liu Chuan spoke, he finally realized that it was indeed inappropriate to say these things in front of Yang Qian.

But how could Liu Chuan know what Yang Qian was thinking?

"Haha, Lord Palace Master, you are worrying too much. It's just a casual chat, why are there so many taboos? Besides, the Ten Yuan Sea is extremely magical. I have also read the book "Ten Yuan Strange Stories", which is very interesting.

But since the Lord of the Household is an official of the Water Affairs Department, how can he think that the content of the story is "clear and understandable"? This doesn't make sense, right?"

The Water Affairs Department is the department responsible for all matters related to waterway networks in various places. It is composed of professional water conservancy personnel. Logically, they would not like the supernatural stories such as "Ten Yuan Yi Zhi".

Liu Chuan also laughed and said, "Sir, there are many inexplicable things in this world. No matter how much you think about them, you still can't figure them out, but in the end you can always find the ins and outs in the methods of the immortals and gods.

The same is true for the Ten Yuan Sea. Such a large saltwater lake has a very strange cause, which cannot be explained by water affairs knowledge. But it can be explained by the immortals.

Besides, immortals and gods did exist in this world, but it was too long ago, so how could ordinary people know the truth? They just look for the answer in books."

Yang Qian nodded and asked, "I heard there are many immortal gates in the Ten Yuan Sea?"

"Well, there are more than 20 immortal gates of all sizes in the Ten Yuan Sea. Looking at the Northern Xuan Realm, it is also the area with the most concentrated immortal gates. There are two Wanshi Grand Sects, and the rest are said to be upper-level sects.

There is a saying that I don't know if it can be taken seriously. Sir, just listen to it for now."

After a pause, Liu Chuan continued: "The immortal sect over at Shiyuan Sea calls itself "Yuanxian Sect", and it seems that the relationship with the Immortal Alliance is not very good."
