In fact, on the way here, the old woman from Wufeng told Xu Qing something about the county capital, but after all, it was not as intuitive as what the sword holder of the county capital itself understood.
Therefore, through Chen Tinghao's description, Xu Qing gained a deeper understanding of the power of the county capital.
For example, there are many branch sects established in the county capital like the Eight Sects Alliance.
These sects are the overlords in their respective states, but here, they have to bow their heads.
Because above them, there are three stronger sects.
These three sects can be said to be the three strongest sects in the entire Fenghai County, so they can build the mountain gate in the county capital.
"There are many disciples from the three major sects in the Sword Holding Palace, so to a certain extent, the three major sects are almost integrated with the Sword Holding Palace and fully support any decision made by the Sword Holding Palace. This is also the way for our three major sects to survive in Fenghai County."
"We, the Taoist couple, are disciples of the Taikoo Thunder Meridian." Chen Tinghao said with a smile.
With his successive introductions, Xu Qing also learned about the Yao family's background. As a Tianhou family, it can be said to be an absolute aristocracy.
"Although Yao Tianhou died that year, the foundation remains. Even though the Yao family has been excluded from the imperial capital area, there are still towering trees in Fenghai County, juxtaposed with the three major sects."
"But compared with the entire county, the three major sects and the Yao family are only the fourth echelon."
"Beyond the three sects and one family, there are two major foreign races. They are the third echelon."
Chen Tinghao has a straightforward personality, especially when facing Xu Qing and the captain who are both sword holders. It seems that the moment he knew that they were sword holders, he instinctively dropped most of his vigilance towards the two of them.
This is completely different from when Xu Qing was in the sect.
"The two major foreign races are the Holy Demon Race and the Immortal Race!"
Speaking of these two foreigners, Chen Tinghao's expression was a little gloomy.
Xu Qing and the captain's eyes were also slightly focused. As for the Wufeng old woman on the side, she obviously knew something about it, but for the other eight sect alliance disciples, this information was something they had never known before.
"After the two fellow Taoists go to the county capital, you must be careful of these two tribes." The Taoist fellow sitting next to Chen Tinghao pulled back the hair that had blown away by her ears and spoke softly.
"Among them, the members of the Holy Demon Clan are born with two faces, one in front and one in back. While they look weird, they are mostly deep-minded."
"As for the Immortals, they are similar to the human race, but they are extremely arrogant. Their characteristic is that their hair and eyebrows are white, even their pupils are the same, and their combat power is amazing."
Xu Qing nodded, remembering the characteristics of these two clans, while Chen Tinghao sighed.
"These two foreign races are the strongest ethnic groups in Fenghai County besides my human race. They live together with my human race in the same county. With the balance and compromise of the county guard, they now barely coexist, but the contradictions are also Gradually increase the size.”
"But it is still controllable after all. After all, the Shenglan tribe in the Shenglan region where our Fenghai County is located is eyeing the only Fenghai County in the area that is not under their control."
"Internal and external troubles!" The captain suddenly spoke from the side.
"Yes, it's internal and external troubles." Chen Tinghao made a fist with his right hand and hammered his leg.
"Inside Fenghai County, the two major foreign tribes are very ambitious. Outside Fenghai County, the Shenglan tribe's desire to annex has never been extinguished. If not for the afterglow of the human race, Fenghai County would have been swallowed up long ago."
"We, the human race, only have one domain and seven counties. We cannot lose it anymore."
Xu Qing was silent. He had heard and felt the human race's current situation before.
"If you don't talk about this, you can experience it for yourself when you get to the county capital in the future."
"I will continue to tell you about the power of the county capital. In the county capital, the second echelon is the three palaces, which are the Sword Palace, the Fengxing Palace, and the Silu Palace!"
"We, the Sword-bearing Palace, are in charge of all war-related matters. War between foreign tribes and internal arrests are all the responsibility of the Sword-bearing Palace."
"As for the Fengxing Palace, it is responsible for sacrifices, etiquette, education, reading out the Emperor's imperial edicts, and auditing. It is also responsible for recording the history of our human race."
"The Silu Palace is responsible for trials and legal rules. They have their own law enforcement. They have the power to supervise all matters related to laws and regulations."
"The human race has five divisions of Shangxuan and nine divisions of Xiaxuan. However, Fenghai County is a county system after all, so for many years it has only been equipped with three divisions of Shangxuan. These three palaces are all divisions of Shangxuan."
Xu Qing knew that the status of the Sword-bearing Palace must be extremely high in the county. Now that he heard that the Sword-bearing Palace belonged to the second echelon, it was consistent with his judgment. As for the first echelon above the Three Palaces, he could guess who it was. .
"The first echelon is the county guard!" Chen Tinghao looked solemn.
"It is rumored that the county governor is indecisive, has a soft personality, and often compromises. But in fact... in the hearts of us sword holders, apart from the palace master, the one we respect the most is the county governor."
"The county guard has been guarding Fenghai County for eight hundred years. Although he has not made any achievements in opening up new territories, he can balance the internal and external affairs and work conscientiously so that Fenghai County is still in the hands of our human race and the thirteen states are still perfect. This matter is gradually lost in other states. It is rare to see six counties in the country."
Chen Tinghao took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qing and the captain.
"In the past eight hundred years, the county guard has suffered a total of forty-seven assassinations..."
Xu Qing was moved when he heard this, and the captain also took a deep breath.
Chen Tinghao sighed lightly and did not continue talking about the county guard. Instead, he told Xu Qing and the captain many things about the customs and customs of the county. In this way, time passed, and a month and a half passed quickly.
As the desert gradually became rarer on the earth, a piece of green land slowly came into view of everyone in the airship.
Looking at it, the ground is mainly plains, with not many mountains, and the heterogeneity is actually thin here, and the spiritual energy is obviously much thicker than in other areas.
The sky is even bluer and it is very clear.
Xu Qing stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sky and the earth, feeling a sense of transparency, especially since he could see that there were many cities on the earth.
For example, right now, there is a place directly below them. The people inside have a lot of smiles on their faces. It can be seen that they are full of hope for life.
This is rare in other states and among ordinary people struggling for survival.
"The boundary of the county capital has arrived." Chen Tinghao said with a smile.
"Here, we can use the teleportation array anywhere to go outside the county capital. There is a public teleportation point not far ahead, and we can go there."
Chen Tinghao pointed into the distance, and Xu Qing took advantage of the situation to look, but the next moment his eyes suddenly revealed a sparkle.
The captain raised his eyebrows, and some of the other disciples around him also looked solemn.
In the direction pointed by Chen Tinghao, a gray cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. The cloud cover was so large that it could almost cover a city.
The gray cloud was moving rapidly at this moment, and a big bird could be vaguely seen inside the cloud.
This big bird looks extremely weird. It has three heads, and each head looks very ferocious and ferocious.
The belly is big, the wings are small, and the hair on the body feels messy, but there are amazing divinity fluctuations that permeate the world around it.
It seemed to be holding something on its paws, which I couldn't see clearly.
At this moment, the flying boat approaching Xu Qing and his party set off a storm wherever it passed, turning into a tornado, connecting the sky and the earth, with a powerful momentum like a rainbow, which was quite vast.
"It's Senior Qingqin!" Chen Tinghao was stunned.
"Senior Qingqin is a friend of the previous county governor. Eight hundred years ago, he returned to the imperial capital and invited him. He did not go there, but lived in Fenghai County and occasionally flew out. He is a prehistoric alien species. , whose bloodline can be traced back to the era of the ancient emperor, and it is said that his ancestors once followed the ancient emperor."
The moment Chen Tinghao's words came out, as the big bird approached, a shrill scream came from its claws.
"Save me, save me, I am the sword bearer, I have been asked about my heart by the emperor, sixty feet of glory!"
The voice was cruel and full of panic. Xu Qing felt that it sounded familiar, and the captain's eyes showed a strange light.
"Isn't this Ning Yan? Why is he being treated as food?"
Xu Qing naturally saw that he chose to ignore Ning Yan, who had taken action against him, but Chen Tinghao on the side quickly rose into the air after hearing Ning Yan's words, bowed to the Qingqin Big Bird, and spoke loudly.
"Lord Qingqin, please calm down. Can you wait for me to find out whether this person is really one of my sword holders? If so, please show your respect, Lord Qingqin..."
Xu Qing glanced at Chen Tinghao strangely. The captain also looked at Xu Qing.
"I don't know you, but you want to help just because you said "sword holder"?" The captain didn't say this, but Xu Qing already understood the meaning of his eyes, so he also fell into deep thought.
"You will be like this in the future." Chen Tinghao's Taoist companion seemed to have guessed what Xu Qing and the two were thinking, and spoke softly, then rose into the air and stood beside Chen Tinghao, paying homage to the big bird as well.
The captain suddenly became vigilant. He felt that maybe other sword holders were like this, but if he was in danger and reported a brilliance of ten feet, no one would necessarily come to save him, so he didn't speak much along the way for fear of being asked. Start the Huaguang incident.
At this moment, Immortal Zixuan also walked out of the cabin and stood beside Xu Qing, staring at the sky, on guard.
In the sky, as Taoist monk Chen Tinghao paid his respects, the big bird circled in mid-air, its three heads and six eyes scanning the flying boat, as if it was determining something.
Then the claws loosened.
Ning Yan screamed and fell down, but was immediately caught by Chen Tinghao. When he was brought back to the flying boat, the big bird in the sky let out an unpleasant squawk, then spread out its small wings and fluttered away with the gray clouds flying away.
"Why do I feel like it glanced at me just now?" the captain was surprised.
Wu Jianwu nodded quickly at the side, with a dazed look in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart.
"I feel like it's looking at me. Could it be that... it senses the temperament of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou in me?"
Xu Qing was also pondering.
At this moment, Chen Tinghao grabbed Ning Yan and was about to ask about his identity. Ning Yan, who was still in shock, saw the captain and Xu Qing at a glance.
His eyes widened instantly, his body trembled, and he struggled again, as if he didn't want to come.
Chen Tinghao was a little surprised and looked at Xu Qing.
"Do you know each other?"
"I know, this little guy is also our Yinghuangzhou, this time the quasi-sword wielder." The captain said with a smile, using an accent on the word quasi.
Chen Ting smiled, let go and threw Ning Yan on the boat.
Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan coldly.
Ning Yan shivered even more violently, and there was sadness and anger in his heart. He finally got here, but as soon as he came over, he encountered the big bird that grabbed him unreasonably.
Now that he was out of danger, he unexpectedly encountered Xu Qing, who was determined to retaliate.
At this moment, when he was extremely nervous, he saw Master Zixuan, his eyes suddenly showed a strong light, he suddenly ran over, knelt down with a bang, and spoke loudly.
"Ancestor, my disciple has finally found you."
