For Chen Qingxiang, who had no relationship with his predecessor, I, it didn't matter that Huangshi Xiaoyi was handed over to him for temporary management before there was any evidence that the sorcerer Chen Fang had murdered his predecessor.
Anyway, this trip to Qinghe Dayi, Chen Qingxiang's paying tribute was just an excuse.
The main purpose is to go to Qinghe Dayi, in front of the great ancestor Qinghe scholar-official Chen Weiyao, to reveal his cultivation level in the totem evil realm, and with his help, to obtain the position of "eldest son" as the first heir of Qinghe scholar-official.
As long as he can obtain the position of "eldest son", then Huangshi Xiaoyi will no longer be the foundation for his settlement, but just an important bargaining chip in his hand.
…
Chen Da led a group of cavalrymen on war horses to clear the way. Dozens of Huangshi warriors drove dozens of horses, and dozens of chariots pulled behind them.
In more than an hour, the group of people left Huangshi Xiaoyi, fifty miles away, and left the protection range of the guardian spirit elephant totem.
As the red sun rose in the east, the group of people completely left the Huangshi Xiaoyi area and headed into the distance.
…
This world is really vast and sparsely populated. Chen Qingxiang and his party traveled for dozens of miles, and there were only sporadic traces of wilderness people.
Chen Qingxiang knew that these should be the traces of the wilderness people in the two small places outside Huangshi Xiaoyi.
At about three quarters to noon, a group of people found a small forest and rested for half an hour.
Eat, drink, and meet physiological needs, etc.
Then we started on the road again.
After leaving Huangshi Xiaoyi for hundreds of miles, it was truly deserted. Apart from the rugged roads, all kinds of wild beasts and savage beasts were rampant.
Even during this day, there are ghosts wandering in the forest.
However, with Chen Da, who was in the late mortal realm, leading a group of cavalry to clear the way, and Chen Qingxiang, a totem in the dangerous realm who was in charge of the team, there were no blind beasts or savage beasts coming to die.
Until half past midnight.
It was around six o'clock in the afternoon before Chen Qingxiang traveled through time.
A group of troops began to set up camp.
Dozens of horse-drawn carriages formed several circles in an orderly manner.
at night.
Chen Qingxiang showed a layer of black elephant natal totem disguised as a spiritual elephant.
The natal totem emits an elephant sound, revealing a layer of totem dharma realm.
Covering an area of 100 feet in radius.
Immediately, all hidden wild beasts and ferocious beasts within a hundred feet left the area.
Many various ghosts that began to appear at night turned into flying ashes in this image sound and were absorbed by the Xuanxiang space.
…
After cleaning up the surrounding Baizhang area, Chen Qingxiang was still able to sense many lurking auras in the wilderness a Baizhang away.
Chen Qingxiang sensed these auras and knew why this world was still so vast and sparsely populated by the human race for so many years.
For ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation, life would be too dangerous without the protection of a totem.
Accidents of all kinds can happen at any time.
It's just that unless every gathering place is guarded day and night by a totem of evil.
Otherwise, you need to have the power to expel and frighten all kinds of wild beasts, evil beasts, and ghosts.
According to Chen Qingxiang's understanding, the power to expel and intimidate all kinds of beasts, ferocious beasts, and ghosts can at least reach the level of totem evil.
This level of power is relatively rare.
According to the information obtained by Chen Qingxiang from those bamboo slips that resemble myths and legends.
Even in the great business center that transcended the categories of "city", "capital", and even "country", where Yin Tian was located, the power of the totem's evil realm was not completely widespread.
As for the guardian totem, not to mention that there are various restrictions on separating the guardian totem.
Just to offer a totem such as the guardian spirit elephant of Huangshi Xiaoyi, it needs to be in a place with strong vitality, and it needs to maintain a certain amount of vitality to support it in order to exist normally.
This kind of strong vitality is relatively rare.
A night of silence.
At nine o'clock the next day, the team started setting off again.
The sun rises and the moon sets.
Chen Qingxiang and his party were traveling at a speed of about a hundred miles per day.
On March 25th, there were only five days left before paying tribute.
After twenty days of hard work, Chen Qingxiang and his party traveled more than two thousand miles and finally arrived at Qinghe Dayi, the center of the Qinghe Chen clan and the Qinghe literati fiefdom.
If we do not consider other conditions and simply look at the size of the Shang Dynasty in terms of the size of the human race gathering place.
Five families compete against each other, and five households compete against one village.
There are four small towns, five small towns and one middle town.
There are five major cities and one major city, and four major cities have one capital.
In the entire Qinghe city, not counting the homes of slaves and hundreds of people, there were nearly ten thousand families alone.
This has reached a scale comparable to that of an ordinary lower capital.
If we include ten times the number of slaves, the population of the entire Qinghe City would be in the millions.
Such a huge Qinghe city relies on its guardian spirit totem to protect an area with a radius of thousands of miles. It can maintain the existence of Qinghe city with manpower and material resources with a radius of thousands of miles.
…
When we are still several miles away from Qinghe Dayi.
Chen Qingxiang and his party stayed on the side of the avenue for two quarters of an hour.
Chen Qingxiang put on a new set of attire of the town lord and wore a bronze crown of spiritual elephant on his head.
Enter a luxurious carriage.
Four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, each wearing a solid colored dress, are waiting beside them.
The Qishi Huangshi warriors were all wearing armor and holding weapons, guarding Chen Qingxiang full of evil aura.
The two Huangshi Shichang, who were in the middle stage of the mortal realm, were holding a spiritual elephant flag representing Huangshi Xiaoyi.
After getting ready, the group set off again.
In the eyes of many slaves and even the people of the country.
Chen Qingxiang and his party entered the prosperous Qinghe Dayi.
Looking at the scene of Qinghe Dayi, Chen Qingxiang felt as if he had traveled to a prosperous city in the Ming and Song Dynasties.
The entire Qinghe Dayi is roughly divided into four areas of different sizes.
It is somewhat similar to the ancient times before Chen Qingxiang traveled through. The four regions are roughly rich in the east, noble in the west, poor in the south, and poor in the north.
The eastern area is roughly where many merchants from Xuanxiang Fang Kingdom gather outside the Qinghe fiefdom.
In the western area, Qinghe Dayi is home to hundreds of Chinese people, where they gather and live.
In the southern area, there are countless slaves of the Chen clan in Qinghe.
The northern area is where most people live.
…
After entering Qinghe Dayi, Chen Qingxiang and his party went directly to the area where Chinese people live in the west.
Arriving at a compound covering several acres.
This compound is a fixed property of Chen Qingxiang's lineage in Qinghe Dayi, and is the residence where tribute is paid every three years.
Compare five families to one.
Chen Qingxiang and his entourage were welcomed by the Yibi Renjia who guarded the compound and moved in.
…
The next day.
At half past nine o'clock, Chen Qingxiang entered the Zongbo Mansion, met with the eldest Zongbo of the Chen clan in Qinghe, and handed over one hundred and eighty pieces of yellow stone and fine jade as tribute.
In Dashang, there are six senses of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The same goes for the 800 vassal states and the fiefdoms of many ministers, ministers and officials.
Six officials are also established.
Among them, Chun Guan Zongbo, "managed his subordinates and was in charge of state rituals to assist the king and the state."
This spring official is divided into the big uncle and the small uncle.
The head of the Spring Officials was Da Zongbo, who "was responsible for the ceremony of the gods, humans, and ghosts in establishing the country, to assist the king in building and protecting the country."
Xiao Zongbo, on the other hand, is "the god in charge of founding the country."
Speaking of Chunguan alone, it usually refers to the great uncle, and the Qinghe scholar-bureaucrat fiefdom was no exception.
As for Huangshi Xiaoyi, why are there no six officials?
There is a total of one to two hundred people in the family, which is neither needed nor able to support them.
