Nan County is a prefecture and county at the junction of the northern and central parts of the Jin Dynasty. In terms of area, this county is only the last in the Jin Dynasty and is five times smaller than Liaozhou.
But in terms of wealth, it is enough to rank among the top five.
Because most of the land in this county is plains and water towns, it is rich in products. More importantly, there are many famous mountains and rivers in this county, which are full of spiritual energy. It is a rare holy land for cultivating immortals in the human world.
Unlike those prefectures and counties controlled by the righteous way and the evil way, Buddhism and Confucianism are prevalent in Nan County, and Buddhist and Confucian sects are spread throughout the county.
No matter whether rich or poor, all the people in the county showed great respect to Buddhism and Confucianism.
Compared with Buddhism, which does not like to interfere with the secular world and pays attention to escape into Buddhism, Confucian disciples mostly practice in the secular world and live above the temple.
After the mortal disciples were taught the basic thoughts of Confucianism and some of the most basic scriptures, they would choose to go down the mountain and join the Jin Dynasty as officials.
And those Confucian monks were welcomed by the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and they all rushed to welcome them whenever they wanted to.
In Da Jin, which was actually controlled by good and evil, if the Jin royal family wanted to accumulate strength, in addition to internal development, they could only recruit talents from Confucianism.
Therefore, one of the main reasons for the prosperity of Nan County is the material support secretly given by the Jin royal family.
Taiping City, the capital of Taiping Mansion, is a large city with many academies.
This city is in Nan County, where most dignitaries and wealthy businessmen live.
There are dozens of wealthy businessmen with tens of millions of dollars in the city alone, and countless other mortals engaged in various walks of life.
On this day, a young prince walked with great interest on the busiest street of Taiping City.
One step behind him, followed a little girl with a round face and bright eyes. Her mouth was slightly open and she seemed to be extremely interested in everything around her.
Except for going to the grassland once with Gong Xuehua, Lu Zhu had never left Liaozhou in his life. After taking Luo Hong's flying boat to the prosperous Nan County in one breath, he felt strange about everything here.
This eye-opening freshness very effectively diluted the sadness caused by parting in Lu Zhu's heart.
If not, Luo Hong would not stop in Taiping City before going to Dangqi Mountain.
According to research, mood can greatly affect the speed of cultivation.
Luo Hong also wanted Lu Zhu's physical and mental health, and was by no means impatient to ask her to work for him.
Although Taiping City is a large city dominated by mortals, there are immortal cultivators coming and going from time to time, including many high-level monks in the alchemy stage.
This alone shows the strength of the world of immortality here.
Of course, this is also because the street where the two of them are located has many shops specially opened for immortal cultivators.
The scale of these shops are all small, and the treasures and elixirs at the level of pills can be their treasures. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Luo Hong to find something suitable for them.
However, these shops combined, there is a complete range of low and middle-level spiritual materials unique to Dajin, which is enough to satisfy Luo Hong's collecting habit.
At first, Lu Zhu was quite cautious, but after following Luo Hong and going in and out of those unusually grand shops many times, she gradually became bolder.
So, every time she found out that Luo Hong wanted to enter a certain store, she would walk into the store in advance and imitate Luo Hong's example, asking the clerk to bring out the list of spiritual materials in the store, just like a well-behaved disciple.
Luo Hong knew that this was a manifestation of Lu Zhu's lack of security, so he did not stop her. After all, she did save him a lot of trouble.
After all the shopping, Luo Honghua bought a lot of spirit stones, and it was already getting late. When he was thinking about finding a fairy inn to stay in after visiting the last two houses, he suddenly heard a cry of pain from Green Bamboo.
"Ouch!"
"Who! How dare you hit the princess!"
"Where did you come from, a wild girl, without eyes?!"
Hearing these scolding words, Luo Hong frowned slightly and turned around, only to see a group of people surrounding a woman at the door of the shop, glaring at Luzhu angrily.
There are seven or eight people in this group, and the leader is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, dressed in emerald green palace clothes, with beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament, but there is a hint of boredom in her eyebrows.
The rest are all around 20 years old, and their cultivation levels are not weak compared to their age, and they look like they are at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining.
Moreover, almost everyone's storage bags on their waists are bulging, and two of them even have special spirit animal bags hanging on them.
Obviously, the identity of this group of people is not simple, but they still smile and flatter the leader of the girl.
"Sorry! I was reckless! Please forgive me, Miss Lu Zhu!"
Born in the Gong family, although Lu Zhu was young, he was still very good at observing people's emotions. He could see at a glance that the person he bumped into had a certain background, and he hurriedly confessed.
Although Luo Hong was distracted just now, it is not difficult to guess what happened here.
It seems that Lu Zhu didn't pay attention when he entered the door, and he happened to bump into the group of people who were about to come out.
This is not to blame for Lu Zhu's recklessness. After all, the group of people formed a row and blocked the door tightly. It would be difficult for the little girl not to run into them.
However, Luo Hong is not an unreasonable person, and naturally he will not stand up for Lu Zhuqiang just because of this matter.
He originally thought that Lu Zhu apologized and the matter was over, but unfortunately the other party didn't think so.
The men and women surrounding the girl were trying their best to please each other, but they always had no chance.
Now, the opportunity has come to their door, and of course they are not willing to let it go easily!
"Hmph! Use up one of your arms so that you can have a long memory!"
One of the young men in brocade robes had a stern look on his face, and without saying a word, he launched his flying sword.
Then there was a "boom" first, and then everyone's exclamations rang in their ears.
Lu Zhu timidly opened her eyes and found that she was not missing any arms or legs. Instead, the young master in brocade robes who had shouted that he wanted to cut off her hand was nowhere to be seen.
She followed the horrified gazes of everyone and saw a figure embedded in the iron-wood counter in the store.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the young master in brocade robes.
However, he was in extremely miserable condition at this time, and he didn't know how many bones in his body were still intact.
After being shocked, the girl in palace attire and others looked at Luo Hong, who looked calm.
Although they didn't realize how Luo Hong took action, there were only a few of them here, so there was no need to guess the answer.
"Oh my god! Do you know who Mr. Wang is? You actually hurt him like this!"
"You are dead!"
"Let's go find Shopkeeper Wang quickly!"
Luo Hong was a little upset by their chattering, and immediately shouted angrily:
"Noisy!"
Immediately, an invisible force was placed on the shoulders of these people, causing them to kneel on the ground.
Two of them didn't know whether they had never experienced such humiliation or they had too much self-esteem and dared to struggle.
A cold light flashed in Luo Hong's eyes, and he increased his strength, pressing them all down, and their bones made explosive sounds.
"This fellow Taoist, I hope you can give Xia a look and not be as familiar as a junior."
