"Shouldn't there be ten centurions?" Xia Yunjie glanced at the seven people and asked.
"Back to your lord, the other three centurions died in the previous campaigns against bandits, and they haven't been replaced yet." One of the tall centurions replied.
"So that's it." Xia Yunjie nodded, and then asked puzzledly: "My lord, I see that our Qianxi County has a large population and there are many strong men. Why didn't we replace the soldiers in time after they died in battle?"
When Xia Yunjie asked, everyone looked at me and me. Finally, the tall centurion sighed and said: "Don't you know, sir, that in Qianxi County, evil spirits and demons are rampant, big and small?"
Do you know how many hills and territories we occupy? Although we represent Heaven and sound majestic, in fact we control only this county and the surrounding territory of more than 2,000 miles. It is less than one percent of my territory in Qianxi County.
The real strength is not as good as some demon kings, sects and families. Originally, this is nothing. In any case, we still represent the heaven. Under normal circumstances, those mountain forces, large and small, will not take the initiative to find us.
Trouble. Lord Zhou Liang is quite ambitious. He wants to slay demons and gather all the mountain forces in Qianxi County who do not obey the orders of heaven. He launched several campaigns in succession. As a result, not only did he not capture any mountains, but
We lost troops and generals, and even lost some territory. At one point, some demon kings and demons even attacked the county town. Fortunately, the county town was strong and strong, so we were able to hold it, otherwise even the Qianxi County government office would be gone."
"Sir, think about it, who would dare to enlist in the army under such circumstances? We are helpless. Firstly, we can get paid as soldiers without having to work. Secondly, there are exercises in the army, and we have no family or sect.
, if you want to go further in your spiritual practice, joining the army is the only way. Of course, you wanted to join the army at first because you wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, and be promoted to a noble rank. But now you don’t think so. Sir, why do you want to join the army?
"
Later, the centurion asked about Xia Yunjie.
Xia Yunjie looked at the centurion's puzzled expression and couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Only now did he understand why those people looked at him with curious and puzzled eyes. The official power here was not only unlike that of the Yingxian Official and the Immortal
Liu Shan, the official, spoke so majesticly, and it was difficult for the Clay Bodhisattva to save himself when crossing the river.
But after smiling bitterly, Xia Yunjie actually liked it a little bit.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. He has the strength, but he is afraid that heroes will have no place to use them. Today's troubled times just give him a chance to stand out, and Heavenly Court is weak here, which makes it convenient for him to establish his own power.
"My Lord ascended from the lower world. The Yingxian Guan recommended me to come here, so I came here." Xia Yunjie replied casually while thinking in his mind.
"So that's it." All seven centurions suddenly realized, and then there was a trace of pity and sympathy in their eyes.
Obviously they were pitying Xia Yunjie for being deceived by Yingxian Guan.
"But a true man should fight on the battlefield and expand his territory. Although the current situation is not good, it is also a good opportunity for us to make contributions." Xia Yunjie saw everyone looking at him with sympathetic eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and cry secretly, and opened his mouth to encourage them.
.
"My lord, please don't have this idea. Lord Zhou Liang also thought the same way back then, but now, he has long since given up. Now we only need to be able to defend the county seat and the surrounding eight hundred miles, and don't think too much about the rest.
." Seeing that the newly appointed commander was still thinking about fighting on the battlefield and expanding his territory, the seven centurions turned pale with fright and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
They don't want to be cannon fodder.
Xia Yunjie saw that he not only failed to inspire their fighting spirit, but actually frightened them so much that their faces turned pale. He couldn't help but shook his head secretly, but he also knew that it was not their fault. He simply changed the topic and began to learn about things in the fairy world from them.
.
"There are ten continents and three islands in the fairyland, four days and one court. The ten continents refer to Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou and Jukuzhou.
The three islands refer to Penglai, Fangzhang, and Canghai. Between these ten continents and three islands, there are also the four seas of southeast, northwest, and southeast. The four days refer to Dachitian, Qingweitian, Yuyutian, and Xitian. It is said that these four
Heaven is the world created by the Human Cult, the Chan Cult, the Jie Cult, and the Western Cult Leaders with their supreme magic power. We cannot know where it is exactly. Yi Ting refers to the Heaven. The Heaven does not exist.
We are on the ground, but in the sky. It is said that after passing through the Jiutian Gangfeng layer and the thunder fire layer, there is still a boundless sea of clouds floating on it. It is said that the sea of clouds is the essence of the condensed immortal energy and energy, called fairy clouds, and the heaven is there.
Above. It's a pity that although we are also called Heavenly Soldiers, in fact, we will never have the opportunity to see Heavenly Court in this life."
"As long as you work hard, there is always a chance." Xia Yunjie encouraged.
"Haha, sir, maybe there is hope for you if you are a heavenly immortal. I don't know if I can cultivate to heavenly immortality in this life. Even flying in the clouds and mist is laborious. It's like crawling like a snail. How can I pass through the nine heavenly winds and thunder fires?
, Don’t do this wishful thinking, don’t do this wishful thinking.” The seven centurions shook their heads.
"Since you are destined to follow me, one day I will take you up to see the heaven." Xia Yunjie said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." The seven centurions clasped their fists and laughed, but judging from their smiling expressions, it was obvious that they did not take this matter seriously.
Xia Yunjie smiled when he saw this, naturally he would not insist on asking them to believe that he had this ability.
"The place where we are now is Qianxi County, a county in Wenqiao Prefecture of Shiqu County under Jukuzhou, one of the ten continents. Heaven divided Jukuzhou into eight hundred counties. Each county was further divided into eight hundred counties.
Prefectures, each prefecture is divided into eight hundred counties. In addition, there are fiefs and fiefs granted by Heavenly Court to meritorious soldiers and Gongsun Wangjue."
"The farthest I have been to our neighboring county so far, but what I know about the outside world is extremely limited. I only know that Jukuzhou is so vast that even an immortal cannot visit it in his lifetime, and the big places outside are even bigger.
There is a powerful person who can move mountains and seas, shrink thousands of mountains with the sun and moon, and travel thousands of miles in a single fight." The tall centurion continued to introduce, with a trace of yearning and longing in his eyes.
Just now they said that the territory of Qianxi County Yamen covers a radius of more than 2,000 miles, but it is less than one percent of the entire Qianxi County. If converted into area, the entire Qianxi County is almost equivalent to the area of the earth.
.A prefecture has 800 counties, a county has 800 prefectures, and a continent has 800 counties. How many earths does that equate to?
