I might be a little strong

Chapter 493
The state of Song was a descendant of Shang.

Therefore, many of the fables and jokes about the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods are from the region of the Song Dynasty. The background of the stories are Song people.

Probably, it is because the Song people have always upheld the traditions of the Shang Dynasty.

People in Song Dynasty didn't respect Zhou rituals, and... people and gods were mixed.

In the Song Dynasty, you can see monsters cooperating with humans everywhere, you can see monsters serving as officials in the court, and you can see that monsters live in the same way as humans...

Shangqiu, the capital of Song Dynasty.

Seeing the fox for the first time, although the soldiers at the city gate were stunned for a moment, their subsequent attitude was that of respect, because the monsters that can transform are all big monsters.

"Hello, may I ask where you are from?"

"Zhoudi, Luoyi."

"Zhoudi...it may be chaotic over there, but Song State is different, so we hope you can restrain yourself a little bit. If you encounter trouble, you can find us or other soldiers, and try not to do it yourself."

"Okay, thank you."

The fox agreed with a smile, and then drove into the city. From the attitude and actions of the gate guards, it can be seen that this place is really different from other cities.

In other words, the State of Song is such a wonderful thing.

Obviously won the battle of conferring the gods, the human nature flourished like never before, and became the absolute overlord of the world, but the people of Song Dynasty believed that monsters and themselves were equal.

Even in Song Dynasty today, there is a monster in the court as the prime minister.

Prime Minister Xiang Rong is actually a big monster of the golden fairy level, and there are quite a few fairy-level monsters in the court of the Song Dynasty, which is far better than the courts of other countries.

Only, times have changed.

In today's era, human beings don't even have many ascetics. In the era of prosperous humanity, it only needs to use military power to crush everything. The personal force of monsters cannot threaten a powerful country.

At most, it is domineering in small countries.

The State of Song, which actively recruited talents from the Monster Race, used to be the hegemony of the State of Song during the period of Duke Xiang of Song with the good military equipment of the State of Song. Unfortunately, after more than 100 years, the State of Song's military equipment was not so strong.

Although the monsters are still there, if the regular army can't win, they have nothing to do.

Therefore, now we can only hold on to success.

However, the position of Song State is not very good, it is in the middle of Jin State and Chu State, and now it can turn around, but as long as the other side becomes stronger and the war really breaks out, Song State will be attacked first...

This is due to the peace of geopolitics.

Because of the harmony, business is also quite prosperous, and the non-existent discrimination and hostility made the two of them feel comfortable for the first time during the journey.

However, when they first settled in the inn, someone sent an invitation.

"Prime Minister?"

The fox asked suspiciously, the waiter nodded yes, and explained: "My master heard that a great monster came to Zhoudi, so he wanted to make friends, so he specially ordered me to invite you two."

"The master has already entertained the banquet prepared by the mansion."

"If it's convenient for you two, please come with me."

Li He glanced at the fox and said, "Since it's the Prime Minister's invitation, let's go."

If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the banquet.

Li He and Fox followed the waiter to the prime minister's mansion, walked through the quiet courtyard, and came to the main hall. It was time for dinner, and there were already several guests in the hall.

Seeing the arrival of Fox and Li He, the owner of the first seat got up immediately to greet them.

"If you are lost, you will be greeted far away, if you are lost, you will be greeted far away, sit fast, sit fast!"

The middle-aged scribe-like owner said with a smile, looking extremely hospitable. After Li He and the fox were seated, he turned around and introduced: "I'm afraid you don't know, this is the big man from Zhoudi. Monster, I have a feeling that its strength is not inferior to mine."

Xiang Rong praised the fox.

The fox was not shy, so he responded with a smile. Li He picked up the wine and took a sip with a smile. The fox's realm is not much lower than Xiang Rong, and he can step into the Golden Wonderland at any time.

It's just, strength...

After introducing the fox, Xiang Rong began to introduce several guests present. They turned out to be monsters, fairy-level monsters. They turned into human figures, with almost no characteristics of the monster race. They wore scribe robes, no different from humans.

The purpose of this banquet is probably understood.

Song Kingdom is the only country in the world that equally accepts the monster race. Basically, most powerful monsters will come to Song Kingdom to live, but it is not ruled out that some monsters like to enclose land and become kings.

For example, Zhou Di.

Xiang Rong thinks that the fox is a great demon with no fixed place, and wants to win her to stay in the Song Dynasty. During the banquet, he has promised Jiuqing a high position, but unfortunately, the fox does not know the value of these positions.

"What are you talking about? I only listen to my son."

She said incomprehensibly.

Only then did Xiang Rong, including Xiang Rong, realize that the fox, whose strength is close to that of the Golden Immortal, turned out to be a human maid. Who is this human?

Even princes don't have this status, do they?
However, Li He didn't want to talk to them. He just raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, "I'm just a traveler. After staying in Shangqiu for a few days, I will leave and go to the State of Lu."

"So, you can't stay."

Faced with Li He's refusal, Xiang Rong was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist. He laughed and continued to dominate the atmosphere of the banquet, trying his best to make the guests happy.

When Li and the others left, he personally sent them out of the door, and was sent back to the inn by his servants.

Moreover, there are generous gifts.

Opening the box Xiang Rong sent, it was full of gold, silver and jade, which was quite valuable. Li He pushed the box to the fox and asked her to pick out shiny and beautiful things.

"Is there no spirit stone..."

Li He didn't know whether Xiang Rong was stingy and only used ordinary things to get rid of it, or there were still not many spirit stones in this period. If this is the case, how difficult is the life of the Yaozu after Qin Shihuang enshrined Mount Tai?
"There will be no spirit stones."

The fox said without surprise, she seemed to understand it very well, and continued: "Spiritual stones are resources for cultivation, and there are never too many of them, so it is impossible for monsters to give away spiritual stones."

"If you want spirit stones, you can only exchange them with treasures."

"Since the end of the prehistoric period, spirit stones will not continue to be generated. Use a little less. After so many years, there are not many, but there are still some spirit mines."

"But that thing is useless, worthless, not even as good as silver."

What the fox said made Li He understand one thing, that is, the generation of spirit stones requires not only the aura of heaven and earth, but also the origin of heaven and earth. stone.

The ore veins soaked in spiritual energy formed spiritual mines, but the concentration was so low that it was of little value.

After all, this is still the Age of Gods, and the Dao of Heaven has not yet closed...
