Finally, after chatting with the old man for a long time, he left without wanting to finish.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to greet me and said: "Young man, I live in the coffin shop in the east of the city. Come and have a cup of tea when you have time!"
"I think I'm particularly close to you!" He turned back and patted my shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, I will definitely pay you a visit when the arrangements are made! This junior has come to Jiangcheng for the first time, and I may encounter something I don't understand and need to ask you for advice!"
I put on an ecstatic expression, but only I know what it feels like in my heart.
"There is also an invitation to have tea at the coffin shop..."
I muttered to myself, it always felt weird, but I sincerely thanked him for his enthusiasm.
This short chat has solved so many doubts for me.
At this time, watching the old man's figure getting further and further away, I also walked towards the "Jiang City" in front of me.
Jiangcheng is very tall and majestic. It is a city of considerable importance on the border of Jinzhou, with nearly 20 million civilians living inside.
As for the various small towns, rural tribes, etc. built around it, they are dotted and densely distributed in the inland direction of the city, housing hundreds of millions of people living together.
Therefore, it was not surprising that when I came from the junction of the three states where Moon Burial Forest is located, the first city I encountered along the way was this big city.
Jiangcheng has four main gates, eight small gates, and twelve city gates, which means it is accessible in all directions.
However, in the direction of Burial Moon Forest, there are only three city gates, one large, two small, and three, and the others are inland.
The position I looked at when I came here by accident happened to be the big city gate.
Although this place faces the border wilderness, there are still a lot of people coming and going, and everyone is walking very fast, immersed in their own lives one by one.
Seeing the scene in front of me that was filled with the rich atmosphere of life, I felt warm inside. I haven't felt this way for a long time since the destruction of Dongfang Fort.
Not long after, the moment I officially entered Jiangcheng, this atmosphere of life became more and more intense. There were crowds of people everywhere I could see, and I could hear the hustle and bustle all around.
After listening to my father-in-law's introduction before, I already have a relatively clear understanding of the organizational structure of Jiangcheng.
In this world, there are also secular imperial powers, who rule everything in the mortal world.
And the immortal sects such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism were even higher than the secular imperial power.
However, they will not interfere too much with the power changes in the mortal world, especially the monks, who rarely get involved.
Specifically speaking of the three states under the rule of the Confucian sect, it is only the mundane part of the Confucian sect that usually interacts more with secular imperial power.
Represented by masters and Confucian scholars who did not know magic, they built schools, enlightened the people's wisdom, spread Confucian ideas, and devoted themselves to the world's great harmony and peace in the world.
Since the philosophy of Confucianism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the secular imperial power in the three states gave priority to Confucian knowledge when selecting talents. This is somewhat similar to the ancient imperial examination system in the real world.
This cooperative and symbiotic relationship between Confucianism and secular imperial power has been around for a long time. They cooperated with each other to make the people prosperous and the world peaceful.
This kind of collaboration is not different from the oppressive authoritarian system that is occasionally seen in reality. After all, Confucianism only spreads ideas, not doctrines.
Although many times they are also called Confucianism, this is more for convenience to distinguish them from Taoism and Buddhism.
In some cities that may be invaded by monks who are outside the three religious systems, the three sects, including the Confucian sect, will send powerful monks to guard against unforeseen events.
Just like the white-clothed monk who scared Old Man Guihuang away just now, he is such a person in charge.
Although the spiritual energy in the secular world is very thin, it is not very suitable for practice.
However, there are still many monks who are either greedy for the mortal world, or take advantage of the harsh environment here to temper their hearts. In short, they frequently travel between the two worlds of immortality and mortal world for various reasons.
After all, we all live in the same world, so this kind of behavior is difficult to prohibit. There is no clear boundary between ordinary people and monks.
Usually, as long as these monks do not disturb the people, interfere with secular life, or interfere with the iteration of power with their super powers, the people in charge of the three sects will not stop them.
This is their bottom line, and it is also the rule they set for all monks in the entire world of cultivating immortals.
Immortals are immortals, mortals are mortals, monks are monks, and ordinary people are ordinary people. They can interact and live together. Ordinary people can become monks by chance, but monks must not rely on their own abilities to destroy the balance of the mortal world!
At this time, after briefly reviewing the knowledge introduced by the old man in my mind, I turned my attention back to my surroundings.
It has to be said that the streets in Jiangcheng are very wide. After all, it is a very large city that can accommodate the lives of 20 million people. The layout planning is quite reasonable.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and they supply all kinds of goods. I was dazzled.
I had insisted on coming to this mortal world of cultivating immortals before, wasn't it just to see the customs and customs of this world?
Integrate into the lives of ordinary people and experience different cultures, diets and living habits.
I almost subconsciously merged into the flow of people around me, just like an ordinary tourist who has just entered a big city, moving with everyone's movements, visiting everywhere = and sightseeing everywhere.
Soon, I discovered something very embarrassing.
Since he set foot in the beginning of time, he has almost completely cut off the food of ordinary people. He has been tempering his body with spiritual energy all day long, but he has never felt hungry.
But now, walking on the streets of this mortal world, after smelling the aroma of various delicacies coming from all around, my stomach started to growl in an unusual way, which was really killing me.
At this moment, I suddenly felt very hungry and wanted to have a big meal.
However, there is one very embarrassing thing - I have no money! I do not have the currency circulating in this secular world! I am a penniless monk!
I had been living in the isolated Dongfang Fort before, so I had no need for these.
It was only now that I came to the outside world that I had longed for, and realized that although I am an immortal, compared with the ordinary people coming and going around me, I seem to be called the "poorest immortal in history".
With the magical power I have now, it would be easy to "borrow" some money from random people.
But I simply can't get over that hurdle in my heart. No matter I am in the real world or I grew up in the dream world, I will not allow myself to do this. This goes against my own principles.
Suddenly, a large number of people gathered in front of them for no reason, and bursts of harsh noises came... (To be continued)
