When Wang Ben returned, everyone exchanged pleasantries again.
During the banquet, many dignitaries came to Jiangling City.
Most of them were nobles from Nanjun. Although they were very unfamiliar with Gai Nie, after all, Gai Nie had kept a very low profile before, when he was in Da Qin, and not many people really knew him.
But after Wang Jian's introduction, the faces of the dignitaries in Nanjun changed. They looked at Gai Nie and Zhang Liang a little differently.
"Gai Sword Master!"
"I've seen Master Gai"
Everyone is very enthusiastic.
Don't blame everyone for being arrogant in front and respectful in the back.
If Genie is just a swordsman, then he is not worthy of being friends with them. Even if he is His Majesty's personal guard, that was in the past.
More than two hundred years after leaving Xianyang City, who still remembers it? Will Your Majesty still remember it?
Among the dignitaries sitting here, the lowest ones have the title of Duke. In the past, the prefect of Nanjun was a local emperor.
Going one step further, you can enter the center of Xianyang City.
But Gai Nie is now a Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal. To the people here, it is different.
In the past, everyone might have to pray every day.
After all, Golden Immortals were gods in the sky in the past. Those who believed in gods and Buddhas would offer sacrifices to pray to gods and worship Buddhas.
Jin Xian is an immortal immortal, and his life span is the same as that of heaven and earth.
The dignitaries here may be very powerful. They are almost as powerful as local emperors in Nanjun, but so what, in a few hundred years, they will become nothing more than a handful of loess.
Even though some powerful people practice Taoism, most of them are not very advanced. If they can cultivate the golden elixir, it is very good. They still rely on a lot of resources.
Those who practice Jindan Taoism can only live for two or three hundred years at most, while those who practice martial arts may live even less.
Only after cultivating to the spirit refining stage and raising a soul can one's lifespan really skyrocket, and one can live for thousands of years or even longer.
But for many powerful people, this is not so easy.
Da Qin has never stopped the flow of skills, so even those at the bottom have the opportunity to practice.
However, whether it is martial arts, immortality, or other side sects, without a true leader to teach, it is very difficult to get started.
It is not difficult for the dignitaries to obtain the method of cultivation. There were many Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Later, hundreds of schools of thought became popular and spread the method of cultivation widely.
Among the many dignitaries in Nanjun, there is almost no one with a few Kung Fu masters, including Qi practitioners, Taoists, or martial arts practitioners.
However, among everyone present, except for Wang Jian and his son, the ones with the highest level of cultivation were the young people around the Nanjun Prefect, who had barely reached the stage of refining the gods.
Even the governor of Nanjun is not high in cultivation.
Not all officials are like Nalu Buwei, Li Si, etc.
As a businessman, Lu Buwei was able to become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, not just because of opportunism. Back then, he was able to help the two kings of Qin escape from the Zhao Kingdom. It was not just business that he relied on. His majesty was almost captured by the Zhao Kingdom back then. .
It was also because of Lu Buwei's powerful strength that the strength he showed back then was the peak of a true immortal.
Now it is even more unfathomable.
Most of the Da Qin officials were actually not very high in cultivation, and some even had no cultivation at all.
After all, civil servants are not like martial arts schools. They do not need strong strength. They only need to be able to handle government affairs.
Moreover, the governor of Nanjun was not a military commander. He was considered to be from a wealthy family in Beidijun, and he was also a disciple of Legalism.
Disciples of the Legalist School are different from other schools of thought in that they do not need to have a strong cultivation level to be able to explode with great power.
Legalism could borrow the power of the dynasty.
Using one's body to integrate the destiny of the country is also a magical method created by the ancestor of Legalism.
However, this kind of magical power that borrows force is not that simple. There will be no pie in the sky. With the help of external forces, strong power can be exploded, which also has consequences.
Every time the power of the dynasty is used, the corrosion on one's physical body is also very serious, especially the mental drain.
The origin of human beings is actually composed of essence, energy, and spirit. The essence of human beings is essence and spirit. The consumption of these two means that the origin of human beings is consumed.
This consequence means that most Legalist disciples will not live long. Even if they practice Taoism, they will only delay this result.
Some Legalist disciples who practice Dao often have a shorter life span than other schools of thought at the same time, and even shorter than those military strategists who practice cruel martial arts.
This can be regarded as a shortcoming of Legalist disciples.
However, even with such serious sequelae, for those Legalist disciples, few are still willing to give up this magical power.
After all, an ordinary person can even exert the power of an immortal. One can imagine how many people can resist such a temptation.
Moreover, Great Qin is governed by Legalism. Legalist disciples have a very high status in Great Qin. If you want to enter the center of Great Qin, you must either be a Legalist disciple or have a military background. Others are far behind.
Not everyone is like Lu Buwei. Although he was a businessman, he invested in two generations of Qin kings.
Whoever can do this is only one person in the world.
The prefect of Nanjun is a disciple of the Legalist School, and his cultivation level is not high. However, as the prefect of a county, his status is not much different from that of Wang Jian and his son.
However, because Wang Jian and his son are both highly cultivated people, the higher the cultivation level in this era, the longer life span, and the longer they can protect the family.
The governor of Nanjun can only protect the family for a few decades at most, but Wang Jian and his son, even if they take off their general uniforms, can still protect the family for hundreds or thousands of years.
This is the difference between the two.
Therefore, when the Nanjun governor faced Wang Jian and his son, he would always be one step behind and inferior to others. This was also a hidden rule.
In the mythical world, personal strength is very important.
Even if the Qin Dynasty were unified, the army would still be very important. The civilian officials, the centerpiece of the Qin Dynasty, would still be a bit inferior to the military attachés.
If Lu Buwei's prime minister hadn't come out of nowhere, the military would have occupied half of the central area of the Qin Dynasty, or even higher.
In this era, the boundaries between civil and military forces were not actually that clear.
There are many people entering and exiting.
For example, Wang Jian and his son could also become civil servants in Jiuqingzhong, but most generals preferred to stay in the army.
In Da Qin, strong men are still the most desirable, and there is no such thing as letting the horse go to Nanshan.
In particular, the Immortal Way is evergreen, hundreds of schools of thought are flourishing, various cultivation paths are prosperous, and more and more people are beginning to practice the extraordinary path.
Unfortunately, there are really not many people who can succeed in cultivation.
Most of those who are successful in cultivation either go to the military or go to other places.
Only those with half a bucket of water will wander around. (End of chapter)
