The Sanqing statue has been hung up and successfully opened. From then on, the entire Zhang family residence was shrouded in the majesty of Sanqing's spiritual power. Except for the larger formation when the Dajiao first descended, it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect this implicit power in the subsequent time, and there would be no weird feeling.
But for those monsters and monsters, it is a forbidden area. If you dare to trespass without permission, your soul may be severely damaged, or your soul may be directly shattered.
Coupled with the personal talismans that Zhang Yan gave to his family and the increasingly powerful bean soldiers that he rotated as "sachets" with him, the safety was much more secure than before.
This is a benefit to the family, and it is even more beneficial to Zhang Yan.
Sanqing comes with its own mysteries of Taoism. Practicing under the divine power of its spiritual thoughts and Dharma will always bring great benefits. Some unfamiliar areas will be directly led to the right path by these mysteries, which in disguise shortens the time to overcome difficult problems in practice. time. It can even have a good effect on understanding the principles of heaven and earth.
After teaching Wang Lanping how to burn incense and bow before him, Zhang Yan took a shower and changed his clothes, ate something casually, and then went out to the Wushu Academy. Although it was already a little late, there were only two of his students, Zhou Yun in the morning, so a slight delay would not matter.
But what was unexpected was that not long after Zhang Yan let Zhou Yun soak in the bathtub, a miscellaneous official from the Jiangwu Academy came over and said that a martial artist from the Prince of Beiwu Kingdom wanted to see him. He found the court judge and He was ordered to go there when he was done with his work.
Come over after you're done? Zhang Yan smiled when he heard this, then waved his hand to say that he understood, and asked the miscellaneous officer to go back and report, saying that he would be there in a while.
A person from Beiwu Kingdom, or some kind of prince? There is no need to guess the place that can be related to Zhang Yan. It must be Liang Zi at the North-South tea party in Xiangkou more than a month ago. I don’t know what is happening to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince who was immobilized by his words. It should be very uncomfortable, after all, the art of words in his thoughts has not been broken or unraveled.
Continue to read with your head down. This time I saw the "power" of the demon clan. This kind of book cannot be seen outside. Ordinary writers would not dare to write like this. After all, all three-year-olds know that the number one enemy of the human race is the demon clan. Almost all human nations have been at war with them all year round as long as they border the demon clan. However, in recent decades, there has not been such a nationwide war.
According to what the book says, although it does not directly say "the demon race is far stronger than the human race", you can come to such a conclusion after thinking about the content in it.
In fact, looking at the Human Race as a whole, the power comparison with the Monster Race is not actually very different. Even taking into account some geographical factors and the difficulty of attack and defense, the Human Race is at least evenly matched with the Monster Race. both sides.
However, there are twenty or thirty known human kingdoms in the Wild Sky Territory, and they are scattered in all directions. Among them are lower kingdoms like Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiwu Kingdom, and there are also many upper kingdoms like Huayue. . And there are more or less grievances between countries, and there will be some friction from time to time. And there are various momentums in which the big swallows up the small. This makes the human race unsatisfactory in terms of geographical location and internal unity, let alone making concerted efforts to fight against the demon clan.
However, there are not many demon kingdoms created by the demon clan. There are only five or six now, but each one is extremely huge. In terms of area alone, it is equivalent to the size of three to four human kingdoms.
How can such a large demon kingdom be effectively brought together without falling apart? This is about the clan system of the Demon Kingdom. To govern an area, a clan only needs to be loyal to the leader of the demon kingdom. Even the leader of the Demon Kingdom is from a clan, just the strongest clan.
There is also a vassal relationship between the clans, so although it seems to be loose, as long as each one manages his own business, there will be no division in name. In addition, as long as the leader's clan maintains its strongest posture, the foundation and means of rule can ensure that there will be no problems in the general direction.
Once a war breaks out, clans will immediately unite with each other, and the command will be handed over to the people sent by the leading clan. After dispatching, combat power can be formed immediately.
So after Zhang Yan finished reading several books about the demon clan, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Why can such a powerful monster race have a confrontation with the human race for such a long time? Even the so-called "big wars" are mostly war actions mainly focused on plunder, rather than "annihilation" and "occupation".
This is very strange.
The demon clan is not a good person, but they are ruthless characters who treat the human race as meat. It is impossible to ignore the prey that is placed in your mouth, just play with it without pain and consume it, and take advantage of it.
Take Yubei Mountain, where Zhang Yan stayed for more than two years. Opposite are the "Xianwu Clan" and "Fengxiao Clan" under the banner of the Haoyue Demon Kingdom. These two clans have always fought on their own terms, and have rarely formed a joint force. Not to mention that the Haoyue Demon Kingdom gathered its forces to attack. Just like this, he would take advantage of the fruit trees in Yushan from time to time, but he would always leave a lot of corpses behind and work as a flesh and blood mill with the defenders on Yubei Mountain.
If the demon clan doesn't want to, then there is only one reason left: the demon clan can't. Or it can't be done. Are they able to launch a national war with the purpose of "annihilation" and "occupation"?
"So there is something that is holding back the demon clan's energy?" Zhang Yan had his own guess.
However, Zhang Yan did not pay attention to the interesting things about the demon clan for too long. After closing the book, he stood up and walked to the wall where a wall of sticks was hung, and took down a wooden stick that was completely serrated. Then he walked over under Zhou Yun's timid gaze.
"Okay, don't be too busy running your mind. Stand up, it's time to beat."
"Teacher, can you beat me less today...ah!" Zhou Yun's screams covered up the rest of what he wanted to say.
...
When Zhang Yan finished his morning class and went to the hall building to find the public room where court judge Xiao Shu lived, Xiao Shu had already left, the door was closed, and a miscellaneous official told Zhang Yan that the person he was looking for was there. Waiting in the parlor next door.
When Zhang Yan heard this, he turned around and went to the side hall. When he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a livid face sitting on a chair. He didn't even have a cup of tea in front of him. He had been waiting for an hour and a half.
Zhang Yan knew very well that this was the most unsophisticated attitude of the people of the Nanyuan Kingdom towards the people of the Beiwu Kingdom. Even if you are a master in the prince's palace, what's the point? Are you worthy of letting a court judge like Xiao Shu sit and wait with you? Not even tea.
"I am Zhang Yan. I wonder what your Excellency wants from me?"
The man suppressed the anger in his heart and stood up when Zhang Yan came in. Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Zhang, my eldest son has offended you many times before, so I hope he will forgive you. The Prince's Palace is willing to press this button." It is my wish to make an apology to you. I also ask you to free the prince from his imprisonment."
