The system came a hundred years earlier, I kicked Beihai Kindergarten

The big families have invested countless amounts of money in such people, which is why these families have been able to survive every disaster safely, hence the term "thousand-year-old families".

Even though the Shang Dynasty before the Great Zhou Dynasty lost power for a hundred years due to internal strife and was taken advantage of by the grasslands, some noble families still survived in the world because of their investment methods.

Let me put it this way, if the imperial court in this world did not possess extremely powerful military force and communications that were not much worse than modern ones, these aristocratic families would be able to undermine the imperial power.

"I have three maids, but I'm afraid I can't take them with me on this trip. These are poor people I rescued in Muyun City. I don't know how to arrange them for the time being..." Shen Lang said tentatively.

"This kind of thing..." Li Xuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It’s not that this matter is too troublesome, it’s that this matter is too small and it can’t even be considered a favor.

Can resettling a few ordinary people be considered a problem?

He still wanted to do more favors so that it would be easier for him to communicate with the people in front of him in the future.

"How about this, there is my Li family's property in Xuanmo County ahead, how about letting them be maids?" Li Xuan said: "It's not a heavy job, just wash clothes and cook, whatever is suitable for them."

"They won't be sold to brothels, will they?"

"Ha, Brother Shen, you're joking." Li Xuan fanned himself with his folding fan: "This kind of industry is mainly based on Yanyu Tower. My Li family will not compete with Yanyu Tower for this business."

Shen Lang blinked.

It seems that the rules of this country are quite complete, and various industries have been divided up by various forces.

I just don’t know how much control the imperial court has over them and what share they have.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Li." Shen Lang thought for a moment and pushed Xiao Dong out again. "This girl has the aptitude to practice cultivation. My disciple has taken a liking to her and wants to train her well and keep her as an attendant in the future. But we are traveling this time to treat our illness, and it is not convenient to bring her along. Can you trouble Brother Li to let her practice with you for a while? I will provide her with the cultivation resources she needs."

"However, she hasn't gotten started yet. Right now, she's just strengthening her muscles and bones and replenishing her Qi and blood."

Shen Lang said that not everyone is Wei Qianluo or Lu Fengxian.

Even a man of fortune like Lu Fengxian had to replenish his qi and blood and heal his old injuries before he could practice.

"Master..." Xiaodong was a little stunned.

These days, she has not touched anything related to spiritual practice.

This, this, this, are you going to practice right away?

At first, she really thought that Shen Lang and Wei Qianluo were joking.

She didn't have much idea about cultivation, she just thought that all the monks were very powerful.

She never thought that she would have the opportunity to come into contact with these!

Bringing her out of the slave camp was already a great favor to her, and taking her to practice...

She didn't know how to repay him.

"Wait here for a few days. After I finish seeing the doctor, Qianluo and I will come back to pick you up." Shen Lang touched Xiaodong's head.

"Okay, let her stay in my Li family's shop first. Then Brother Shen can use this token to go to the Li family's pharmacy to pick her up." Li Xuan handed Shen Lang a token.

"Thank you, Brother Li. If I can be of use to you in the future, as long as you ask me, I will go through fire and water for you and even die for you!" Shen Lang expressed his sincere gratitude.

I have to say, the identity of a hero is really useful.

You don't even have to take the initiative, and many people will come to get to know you.

Some things that are very troublesome to me can be solved by others with just one sentence.

"Brother Shen, you are too polite. By the way, an interesting thing happened outside the pass. The person who is familiar with Brother Shen wants to queue up to enter the pass, but he is an official. How can he take the direct route of the cultivators?" Li Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Cultivators are cultivators, and officials are officials. Once they enter the government, they are not subject to the control of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but they also cannot enjoy the benefits of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

Like Shen Lang, he holds an official position and cannot use the normal routes for cultivators. Those are the routes prepared by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for normal cultivators.

During a war, all cultivators registered with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who have no connection with the official authorities can leave on their own.

These people are a considerable force, and even the Wolf Lord will not take the initiative to embarrass the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

It was precisely because of their large number that Ji Wendi concluded that they were deserters from Muyun City and forced them to join the Northern Expedition Army.

Those who left now were the ones who successfully avoided Ji Wendi and came to Xuanmo Pass.

Speaking of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, its relationship with the Great Zhou court has always been delicate.

Being detached from the world, yet having to be involved in it, Ji Wendi exploits some loopholes in the rules.

When the grasslands ruled the Central Plains, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance at that time was severely damaged by the emergence of evil demons and internal strife, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

After the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance recovered, it cooperated with the rebels for the first time and directly overthrew the rule of the grassland.

Afterwards, countless monks came out to gain experience, turning the grassland upside down.

It took the grassland three hundred years to recover.

If the land outside the Great Wall wasn't too barren and the vitality of heaven and earth wasn't chaotic, the grassland would probably be a state now...

"I'm not familiar with that person. There are benefits to joining the imperial court. At least the imperial court provides resources for cultivation." Shen Lang laughed and said, "That person receives a salary from the imperial court, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is a bit despicable."

“Well, as cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you have freedom, but you can only be self-reliant or join a sect… Even if you join a sect, the cultivation resources you get are not as good as the salaries of court officials.” Li Xuan sighed.

There is nothing perfect in the world. Joining the court and earning a high income means taking high risks.

If you join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you will have to endure insufficient resources for cultivation and rely on working and chance to grow.

"The cultivators nowadays are more afraid of death than before, and not many dare to come out and fight." Mo Yi interrupted, "Outside the pass, on the sea, and in the forbidden land, there are unowned resources everywhere."

"If you want to have more resources for cultivation, you have to go out and fight..."

"Those monsters think so too." Shen Lang joked.

"We still have to face the grassland people and sea monsters." Li Xuan added.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, like two lunatics.

"In short, it is my honor, Li Xuan, to meet a hero like Brother Shen today!" Li Xuan bowed to Shen Lang.

"It is also an honor for me, Shen Lang, to meet Brother Li."

…………

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Shen Lang, gnashing his teeth and taking Mo Yi, Wei Qianluo, and Lu Fengxian onto the flying boat.

In fact, the most cost-effective way is to keep Wei Qianluo and Lu Fengxian, but Mo Yi's words made Shen Lang feel somewhat worried.

Xuanmo Pass is not impregnable, the imperial court may lose this battle!

Shen Lang has confidence in the Great Zhou court, but Mo Yi is not optimistic about this war.

After all, Mo Yi is also in the Free and Easy Realm, and his experience and knowledge are far superior to Shen Lang.

Therefore, it is too dangerous to leave Wei Qianluo and Lu Fengxian here.

As for the other maids, it would be dangerous if they stayed here...

Shen Lang is not a saint, and he treats the people around him differently based on their closeness or distance.

Shen Lang couldn't save everyone, which was why he left Cannes. He was not the kind of hero who would do something even though he knew it was impossible.

But he will do what he should do and what he can do.

After it was full, the flying boat headed towards the Central Plains.

The flying boat was not flying very high, at least not above the troposphere, but its speed was not slow at all.

Sitting on the flying boat is very stable and you can't feel any wind at all. It is more comfortable than riding on an airplane in later generations.

This flying boat has ready-made seats. Shen Lang and Mo Yi sit together, and Wei Qianluo and Lu Fengxian sit together.

"Come, come, spiritual food supply. A box lunch costs ten spiritual stones and includes red flame chicken legs, resurrection grass, and sea cucumber soup..."

"There are airplane meals here?" Shen Lang was a little surprised.

"What is airplane meal?" Mo Yi looked at Shen Lang in confusion.

"Nothing, I really broadened my horizons..." Shen Lang shook his head.

"Spiritual spring water is available, and each person is limited to one cup."

"Give me a drink!" Mo Yi waved his hand.

Shen Lang was a little surprised. Mo Yi was actually willing to spend money on the plane?

"Free..." Mo Yi whispered to Shen Lang.

"Give me a drink too!" Shen Lang raised his hand.

Wei Qianluo and Lu Fengxian kept their eyes on the area below.

The scenery below was changing rapidly. The cities that seemed huge on normal days became extremely small. People could not be seen. Large carriages were just tiny black dots. The two of them could only see this because of their eyesight.

"Wow..." Wei Qianluo screamed in amazement as he looked at the birds flying in the sky, the clouds that seemed very close, and the scenery on the ground.

Seeing that many people were looking at her, she shut her mouth embarrassedly and restrained herself.

As time went by, after more than an hour, the flying boat finally stopped at the top of a mountain.

The person operating the flying boat began to remove the boat's defenses and confinement arrays.

The defensive array is to prevent attacks from the outside world, and the confinement array is to prevent anyone on the flying boat from committing crimes.

That kind of restraining force makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just like when Shen Lang first sat on it, he felt like he had lost his entire ability to fight.

"This is Qinghe Prefecture." Mo Yi explained to Shen Lang, "This is also a rich place in the Central Plains. There is a large spiritual stone mine here, and there is also a secret realm controlled by the government, where Zhoutian realm cultivators can look for opportunities."

"The secret realm is under official control..." Shen Lang had a strange expression on his face.

He knew what the secret realms were for. They were places like dungeons, and this kind of setting was common in novels about cultivation.

In some novels, only places like this can build the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.

The secret realm is filled with dangers, but also with great opportunities. Compared to monsters and the environment, humans are more dangerous.

However, it is a secret place under official management, which means it is a place for civil servants to gain experience.

Safety should be guaranteed...

"Well, it opens once every three years, and every time it opens it is looted." Mo Yi said casually, "Some sects also have this kind of secret realm, and only the five major sects can fully control one to three secret realms."

"Many spiritual plant resources and demon beast inner elixirs are produced in the secret realm."

"However, this kind of secret realm is quite boring."

"We have explored almost all the places that can be explored. Everyone goes in with a map, so there is no danger at all."

"In this environment, if the Zhoutian Realm can break through to the Xiaoyao Realm, it would be a joke..."

"Interesting things happen occasionally, when some evil masters sneak into the secret realm and kill people wantonly. However, it is difficult for those cultivators to escape after they come out."

"In a hundred years, only one person has gained a great opportunity in the secret realm, and after coming out, he briefly escaped the pursuit of the imperial court."

"After that person got out, he had no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth, and finally disappeared at sea."

"It was quite interesting at the time. I pursued him for a while as a ghostwriter and even fought against him."

Mo Yi licked his lips and said, "For a person who has just been promoted to the Free and Easy Realm to be able to escape from my hands, he should be proud enough."

Shen Lang looked at Mo Yi, and he felt that Mo Yi had taken his storage bag and other things for himself after killing him...

Mo Yi is capable of doing such a thing.

"Then are the secret realms that truly hold great opportunities only those that have not been officially discovered?" Shen Lang asked.

"Yes." Mo Yi nodded.

"Come to think of it, three years. How many years have the monsters and spiritual plants in this secret realm been here? Does it make sense?" Shen Lang touched his chin.

"You don't understand? In some secret realms, the flow of time is different from that outside." Mo Yi smiled and said, "Only when the secret realm is opened, the flow of time will be integrated with the outside world."

"For a secret place like Qinghe Prefecture, the speed is the same as outside for ten days every three years. This is the only time we can go there. Three years outside is equivalent to a hundred years inside."

"It's so magical. When I have the chance, I must find a secret place to take a look." Shen Lang said.

It seems that this secret place is not completely safe. After all, the maps everyone has obtained are all hundreds of years old.

A hundred years is enough time for the world to change.

"There is the Wanhua Secret Realm in the Wanhua Valley, but it is not as good as this one. The flow of time inside and outside is exactly the same. It is the forbidden area of ​​the Wanhua Valley." Mo Yi said.

"Okay, the magic circle has been lifted, everyone can leave on their own. Our next destination is Chang'an. Those monks who are going to Chang'an can stay on the flying boat." The person driving the flying boat clapped his hands.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang and others got off the flying boat.

"Master, this flying boat is so stable." Wei Qianluo said excitedly, "I've never ridden one before."
