Becoming Jieyuan's status is completely different. In order to successfully open the shop, Zhou Bai had to visit some petty officials with gifts.
The people who invite Zhou Bai now are at least high-ranking state officials, and he doesn't even have time to meet some of the eighth- and ninth-grade minor officials.
Zhou Bai wanted to start his own business, so naturally he would not avoid this opportunity to make connections. After attending several banquets, Xie Yuangong's reputation became more and more famous.
In particular, Cai Feng, the left councilor who was the president of the state government, personally stood up for him and shouted out the name "Zijian" in front of everyone.
This is picking up the words personally, but really taking care of me like a nephew.
This made many officials respect Zhou Bai even more, and each of them promised him that even if Zhou Bai was not in the city in the future, he would definitely take care of the Zhou family's property.
Of course, Zhou Bai also did not forget to ask Yao An, who stayed behind in the city, to send regular silver to the officials who looked after them on time, especially Cai Feng, who accounted for the majority.
Before leaving the city, Zhou Bai also received a private invitation from a seventh-grade official, who belonged to the sixth prince, inviting him to join him and work together for his great cause.
Of course, the conditions are very generous, including a gift of ten thousand taels of silver and the treatment of a first-class guest.
Moreover, as long as he is admitted to the same imperial examination, he will be supported by the factions of the six princes, and his career will be smooth sailing from then on.
At this time, Zhou Bai already knew about the attack on his family, and he knew that it was the Zhao family without any evidence.
As long as Zhou Bai opens his mouth at this time, the six princes will definitely treat the Zhao family as an abandoned son and let the Zhou family take revenge. However, how can Zhou Bai be willing to side with any prince at will.
Not to mention that these six princes had previously tacitly acknowledged that the Zhao family was targeting him and the Zhou family. If they wanted to take refuge, they would first take refuge with other princes.
In early and mid-September, Zhou Baidu traveled to Dingzhou County, the most prosperous county in Dingzhou, not only to familiarize himself with the terrain, but also to look for opportunities to increase his luck.
However, it is a pity that many opportunities in my memory did not arrive at the right time, and taking them by force only ruined the cause and effect.
So Zhou Bai rushed to Qingbao Valley before September 28th. This time, the secret realm of Dingzhou Tianji will be opened in Qingbao Valley.
Qingbao Valley is located in the northwest of Dingzhou County, far away from the city and Ningjiang River. Zhou Bai can see people of the same Taoism along the way.
The secret realm of Tianji can move, and the year it opens is uncertain. The last time it was opened was in the west of Dingzhou ten years ago.
Before each opening, a strange phenomenon occurs in the secret realm of Tianji. This time, the sky above Qingbao Valley is filled with brilliant auroras that shine all day long.
Therefore, although most scholars did not know the exact time to open it like those who had the key, they still had time to come from other places.
After all, this is a God-given opportunity, and the state will not stand in the way.
The patrol soldiers stationed in Qingbao Valley are just to maintain basic order and prevent unexpected incidents.
On September 28, Zhou Bai arrived at Qingbao Valley on time.
The mountains and fog here are dense, the forests are tall and the grass is deep. When autumn yellow takes over the main color, everything is dyed in layers of forests.
The sky above the deep mountains and valleys was filled with treacherous clouds, and the colorful auroras crisscrossed wildly, as if they reached beyond the sky.
Outside the Qingbao Valley under the various wonders, a large number of young scholars gathered. They were all scholars of the last five years, that is, those who have achieved fame and fame. ….
This is the unspoken rule of entering the secret realm all the time. A chance will only be given to the right person.
What is a suitable person is a person with sufficient future potential.
Of course, it is difficult to define the role that this chance can play. It is nothing more than improving one's spiritual understanding, enhancing one's understanding of reading, or providing a large amount of unowned luck, etc.
For direct descendants of prominent families, they would not compete for this opportunity.
However, Zhou Bai did see Sun Yucheng here, as well as several family members from Bei'an County, and even Pingcang came. After Zhao Liangji's death, the Zhao family had many more successors.
"Gong Xie Yuan is also here to compete for the opportunity of Tianji Secret Realm. It seems that he is still close to accumulating. I want to take the exam next spring."
"When Duke Xie Yuan attends the deer roaring banquet hosted by the Governor, he must have the key to the secret realm with him, so he must attend."
"Zhou Jieyuan, I still don't know what's going on inside. If you can help me, please be merciful!"
As Dingzhou Jieyuan, Zhou Bai is of course the center of attention wherever he goes.
But this made Sun Yucheng very angry. Because he was at a critical moment in the fight for family power, he returned to Bei'an County as soon as he finished the provincial examination.
But how could he know that missing a mediocre deer-crowing banquet would mean missing a key to the secret realm.
Originally, he didn't particularly need this opportunity, but Sun Yucheng was not a legitimate son, so he just needed something from the secret realm of Tianji to help him pass the imperial examination, so that he could overcome all the dissatisfaction within the family.
At noon, the situation in Qingbao Valley suddenly changed, the colorful aurora dimmed and disappeared, and the world became silent and dark.
At the entrance of the valley, a door that looked like a crack suddenly appeared, and it gave off a huge suction force.
The first people to be affected are those holding the key, such as Zhou Bai and other new imperial examination candidates who participated in the Luming Banquet. No matter how far away from the gate they are, they will be pulled by the extraordinary power and pulled into the valley.
One after another, the deer in the ancient paintings showed their marks, and they turned into haloes to protect the host. Among them, Zhou Bai was the most conspicuous. The white deer jumping around him seemed to be returning home, and the road was familiar to him.
Then came the destined people who had other types of keys, all of which were randomly distributed by the secret realm. There were hundreds of people in this group, and they were all successfully pulled in by the gate.
As for those who came here completely empty-handed in the end, it all depended on their luck. They lined up one by one and touched the light film of the door.
Inside the Qingbao Valley is another space temporarily transformed from the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth, which is a temporary evolution of the rules of heaven and earth.
When Zhou Bai was here, he just felt like he had returned to the origin of heaven and earth. He couldn't see other people for the time being, and he couldn't feel the passage of time.
Until a fragment of light floated leisurely in front of him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it decisively. A mysterious and mysterious feeling came to his heart, and the contents of the Taoist scriptures in his memory automatically turned the pages in his mind.
This fragment of light seems to be a kind of enlightenment of Tao, which can help Zhou Bai learn the knowledge of Taoism. Just a fragment can bring his understanding of the general outline of the Five Emperors to a higher level.
After knowing how to get the benefits, Zhou Bai naturally could no longer stay where he was. Those chance fragments were very hard to find, but they were nothing to Bai Luling.
After several sweeps behind Bai Luling, Zhou Bai easily captured several fragments, fragments that helped him realize enlightenment, fragments that helped improve his literary thoughts, and two pieces of luck that were very useful to him. ….
Moreover, the luck in this mysterious realm of heaven is very pure, and after absorption, it can directly replenish the foundation of one's own luck.
In the process of searching for the fragments, Zhou Bai also encountered other people who followed the fragments hard and were not at all as relaxed and relaxed as Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bo would not snatch most people's pieces, but if he was jealous of those who came to snatch his opportunity, Zhou Bai would not be polite.
For example, in a maze, Zhou Bai and Sun Yucheng encountered each other. There happened to be two pieces of fragments, and both sides could get one. However, Sun Yucheng insisted on taking them all, which made Zhou Bai only look at them with pity.
He had already guessed that the ancient deer-minging painting in the governor's hands came from the Secret Realm of Heaven, and the deer spirit in it also belonged here.
Zhou Bai didn't know whether it was because of his special soul or because of the mountain god's favor. In short, with the spirit of the white deer accompanying him, he was unstoppable in luck here.
So Sun Yucheng and his party were dumbfounded. They couldn't get out of the maze with the chance fragments. They let go of the chance fragments, but they could only watch them float towards Zhou Bai.
Fortunately, opportunity fragments are only the most basic reward of Tianji Secret Realm. Those who are not lucky will still have the biggest wave of opportunities that they have not experienced.
After a long time, huge light and shadow bubbles appeared all over the secret realm, and anyone who met them could enter.
"Pay attention. I heard that the secret realm of each state will embody the life experiences of historical figures. If we can choose a suitable one to enter, we will not only gain luck, but also experience the life of the sages." Well-informed The man said to his companions.
Of course Sun Yucheng also knew, so they began to screen light and shadow bubbles for various clues, hoping to select the experience of a certain big shot.
Because it is said that each person can only enter once.
However, when Zhou Bai freely shuttled through the light and shadow bubbles, everyone, including Sun Yucheng, became a little helpless. People are blessed with great luck here, how can you argue.
Others still have to think about screening and trying their luck. Zhou Bai is already freely choosing his identity. Of course, he is not limited to one experience, so he is open to the light and shadow bubbles he encounters.
Every experience can give him useful insights.
The scholar who studies hard in a cold window can read all the classics after years of reading experience; the farmer who works hard day and night and is busy with the four seasons allows Zhou Bai to fully understand farming; from the businessman who is small and broad and pursues interests and people's hearts, Zhou Bai learns to break the essence of business …
Of course, the most important thing is the experience of officials at all levels, from the management of general affairs by ninth-rank officials, to the management of the people and government by seventh-rank county magistrates and fifth-rank county magistrates...
