Back in Jincheng, there were six members of their Yamen team, including Jiang Nanying, Yu Xinglie, and Ma Rujun. But now that times have changed, only the three of them can still get together. To be honest, this ratio is already very high.
Already.
There is no such success rate in any small cultivator circle. For example, in the group of fellow villagers he was in at that time, no one except him could make it out, which is the normal cultivation ecology.
It is not unexpected to meet in Yujing. Decades have passed, and there will always be a day when they grow up and cannot avoid Yujing, the hometown of Shanmen. Just like the mountain gate of Truman, it is the home of wanderers.
Now Zong Qian is still a Sensing Realm agent, one of the lowest beings in the Sikong Mansion, while Hou Zi has climbed to the position of wielding a sword and accompanying the army. The only thing missing now is his seniority, and he can barely protect his younger brother from being bullied.
This is the only good thing about the system of cultivators. They don't have to sit at work. The convenience of spiritual consciousness solves a certain range of communication problems, allowing them to wander around at will during working hours.
The two of them just wandered to Situ Mansion. In Yujing City, the three mansions are located like a triangle, distributed in different directions of the city, forming an equilateral triangle. None of them are close, and they are definitely not alienated.
The Sima Mansion scolded the Situ Mansion for causing trouble, the Situ Mansion blamed the Sikong Mansion for snitching, the Sikong Mansion bitten the Sima Mansion's Litong Foreign Affairs... In this way of fighting each other, the Quanzhen Sect has been able to sustain itself for thousands of years, and it can be considered stable.
The two came to Situ's Mansion in the north of the city. The middle door was wide open and there was not even a gatekeeper. This is the usual style of these thugs. I left the door open. Do you dare to come in?
To be honest, Hou Zi has been a religious man for decades. Looking back carefully, he has never been to the Situ Mansion. Let alone this place, he has rarely even been to the Zhongjun Mansion in the prefecture and county, so he really has no understanding of this place.
.
But when his brother comes, he has to put on a show no matter what. He can't show his timidity in front of others, right?
Zong Qian's idea is much simpler. Since all the senior brothers have entered in a big way, it is only natural that the taller ones will bear the trouble.
Among the three divisions, if we want to talk about the floor space, Situ Mansion is undoubtedly the largest, not because there are many people and buildings, but because there are many sword fighting arenas.
The Sima Mansion has the largest number of buildings and people. After all, it is a department that coordinates personnel, resources, teaching, etc. that are closely related to spiritual practice in the entire Shanmen Quanzhen Prefecture. It is equivalent to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites in the mortal world.
The superintendent, wine offering, etc. are added together.
If Situ Mansion is the Ministry of War, Sikong Mansion is the Ministry of Punishment, and it is also the one with the fewest officials and buildings. Because most of the people in Sikong Mansion are floating outside to perform tasks, the entire Sikong Mansion looks like a ghost mansion to outsiders, silent and gloomy.
After Hou Zi had long been accustomed to the eerie silence of Sikong Mansion, he felt a little unnatural when he came to a place as high-spirited as Situ Mansion.
Of course, the people in Situ Mansion will not think so. They will only think that the people in Sikong Mansion are villains living in the shadows...
Neither of them were familiar with the route, so they asked questions along the way, and walked towards the sword fighting arena. During this period, Zong Qian was still very unconvinced.
"Wang Mian, my grandson, has reached the natural realm one step ahead of me. In fact, in terms of external achievements, he is far inferior to me. Now he has reached the position of Si Ge. God is really blind..."
In the three-government system, Yanmen Quanzhen's official positions have certain specifications, but overall they are not as chaotic as the mortal world, and there are still traces to follow.
Under the real master of the Sikong Mansion, they are in turn the judges of the Golden Core Realm, who are not allowed to drive, and the accomplices of the Tongtian Realm, who are arrested.
Following the master of the Situ Mansion, the order is Yuhou and Dianjun of the Golden Core Realm; Sige and Yiwei of the Tongtian Realm.
Under the real master of the Sima Mansion, there are young eunuchs and Shaoyin who are in the Golden Core Realm; and they are joining the army and Zhan Shi are those in the Tongtian Realm.
If you look at it this way, Zong Qian's Sikong Mansion's position is lower than Wang Mian's Situ Mansion's Sige; of course, in fact, no one can command the other, the comparison is just a matter of mood.
Hou Tzu's accomplice is theoretically on an equal footing with Wang Mian's Si Ge, but Wang Mian is a rookie Si Ge, while he is a senior swordsman accomplice, which is different; but in the world of cultivation, there is not much difference in such positions.
Meaning, and more importantly, realm, is the hard indicator.
For example, King Luo Ye has mixed up in the Sima system, and now he has not even gotten involved in Zhan Shi. He is still dedicating his youth in the mountains of the north. That is another situation, and there is no comparison.
The two finally got the accurate information and came to a huge sword fighting arena. At a glance, they saw Wang Mian being repaired by his senior brothers in the arena.
In Sikong Mansion, there will not be such a process. In Sima Mansion, you have to be cunning, talk secretly, and dig holes to bury people. In Sikong Mansion, you have to earn it by yourself. If you come back alive, you will be the master. If you die in Sikong Mansion, you will be the master.
Outsiders can only blame themselves for their own incompetence.
But in Situ's house, sword fighting is a daily routine, which is closest to the personality of the sword cultivator.
For new recruits, there will be a period of time when you are beaten to death by the senior brothers. It is not until you are beaten and submissive, become familiar with the game, and become the same as the senior brothers that you can truly integrate into the group.
Each has its own characteristics. Hou Zi is not keen on this, just because this kind of sword fighting method is too restrictive. He always believes that if life and death cannot be distinguished, such sword fighting cannot actually reflect the true strength of a swordsman.
He was relatively good. If Fang Yazi had been in this situation, he would have been badly repaired, but if he was really dragged out to face life and death, he was more optimistic about the aloof young man.
Of course, I am no longer a teenager now.
In Hou Zi's understanding, sword fights between swordsmen usually place an object in the center between the two people. Both sides fly swords with this as the target, and each fights with the flying sword to achieve the goal. Such a competition
, both monks are outside the range of the sword and are very safe.
But Situ Mansion's sword fighting has gone a step further. They use a portable puppet; this thing is like a piece of dog skin plaster, which will always stay within three feet of the sword cultivator. It is equivalent to the sword cultivator's little follower.
The target of both sides' attacks is the opponent's puppet; the target of defense is their own puppet.
Because the portable puppet moves synchronously with its owner, the standing sword fight becomes a moving sword fight, which greatly improves both the authenticity and the fun.
Most people can't afford this thing. Although the portable puppet is not a high-end puppet, it still requires a rather sophisticated design, spirit stone drive, and material composition to be able to keep up with the master's escape. A fight will destroy one, or even two.
Destruction of everyone is not something ordinary people can afford.
Wang Mian is now standing in the sword fighting ring. There are more than a dozen remains of puppets scattered around him. His face is very ugly. Obviously, he lost not only his face, but also his dignity.
