Chapter 198 Guest Mage
Hearing the shout, Qin Mo stopped, turned around, and saw a man in plain clothes with a high forehead, broad face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple appearance, running towards him.
Maybe I ran too fast and was out of breath.
"Who are you?" Qin Mo frowned.
He has some knowledge of the art of observing qi. The energy above this man's head is so high that it reaches the sky. It's incredible.
The man in plain clothes hurriedly bowed and said, clasping his fists, "I am Zhang Liang, the boy, and I am honored to meet the Immortal Master ." Although Zhang Liang thought Qin Mo was young, the age of a cultivator could not be determined from his appearance.
Look respectful.
Qin Mo was stunned. He unexpectedly bumped into Zhang Liang and asked, "You called me, is there something wrong?"
“Plop!”
Without saying anything, Zhang Liang knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully. Then he looked up and said sincerely, "Master, I beg you to accept me as your disciple!"
"You want to become my disciple?" Qin Mo was even more surprised.
After reading the history of the Warring States Period, he had some understanding of Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang came from a noble family in Korea. His grandfather Zhang Kai served as prime minister for three dynasties, and his father Zhang Ping also served as prime minister for two dynasties.
He has a prominent family background.
Unfortunately, before Zhang Liang's generation had the chance to inherit his father's business, the State of Han was destroyed by the State of Qin.
Zhang Liang went from being an envied young man from a noble family to a commoner in an instant.
For a long time afterwards, Zhang Liang took it as his mission to "destroy Qin and restore the country". However, by accident, he assisted Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, in overthrowing the Qin Dynasty and establishing the Han Dynasty.
He became one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
There is also a legend about Zhang Liang's life. It is said that one day Zhang Liang met Huang Shigong by chance. After withstanding the test, he was taught "Tai Gong's Art of War", which enabled him to understand strategy and become both civil and military.
Huang Shigong is one of the representative figures of Taoism.
Later generations also referred to the Huangshi Gong School and the Laozi School as the Huang-Lao School.
From this point of view, Zhang Liang should have had a good talent for Taoism, and after the Han Dynasty was stabilized, he chose to retreat while the situation was at its best. He did not covet worldly power and devoted himself to Taoism.
It can be seen that he is a good candidate for cultivation.
Qin Mo was immediately moved and asked, "Are you learning from a master in order to restore the country?"
"yes!"
Zhang Liang did not hide it.
"Then I can't accept you." Qin Mo shook his head.
"Why?" Zhang Liang was very puzzled. "Didn't the Immortal Master just seek revenge for South Korea?"
He originally thought that he and Qin Mo were the same kind of people.
Qin Mo took out the Jiuzhou Ding and said leisurely, "I killed Nanjun County Governor Teng only to fulfill the last wish of the Han Dynasty's ancestors in the Jiuzhou Ding. It was just a business deal and there was no personal feeling involved."
“…”
Zhang Liang was silent, his heart in turmoil.
Qin Mo turned and left. Since there was no chance, there was no need to force it.
After taking just two steps, Zhang Liang hurriedly caught up with him. Without saying anything, he kowtowed three times with a determined look on his face.
"What? You don't want to restore your country anymore?" Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged.
"No." Zhang Liang shook his head. "I know very well that restoring the country is difficult, and cultivation should be the first priority. As for restoring the country, we can only go with the flow and cannot force it."
to be honest,
In this mythical version of the Warring States Period, it is ten or even a hundred times more difficult to overthrow the Qin State than in history.
"You are quite self-aware." Qin Mo nodded. "You need to think it over carefully. After you become my disciple, you will have missed the best time to cultivate. You may have to cultivate in the mountains for five or ten years before you have the chance to come down the mountain."
"Disciple, please remember this!"
Zhang Liang said he would never miss the chance to become an immortal.
"In that case, let's go!"
Qin Mo summoned the yellow bird, took Zhang Liang, and rode away on the bird.
…
Seeing Qin Mo leave, the Qin army outside the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The news that the Changping battlefield was uncovered, the Jiuzhou Ding disappeared, and the county magistrate Teng was killed by a strange man also spread to Xianyang at the fastest speed.
When King Zheng of Qin heard the news, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Qin Mo's portrait spread to all the cities and passes of Qin State at the fastest speed. Later, even the wanted posters of Qin Mo appeared in various countries in Shandong Province.
He instantly became the most wanted criminal in Qin State.
What caught the Qin State even more off guard was that upon hearing the news that the Jiuzhou Ding had changed hands, Han Fei Zi, who had been imprisoned by the Qin State, suddenly escaped from prison and disappeared.
There was an uproar in the Qin State.
As one of the representative figures of the Legalists, Han Fei, although only in his early fifties, was already a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He was another brilliant figure in the Legalists after Shang Yang.
He was also the strongest person in Korea at that time.
Three years ago, Han Fei was sent by the King of Han to the State of Qin. He was plotted against by Li Si, the Prime Minister of Qin, and was imprisoned by Qin until the State of Han was destroyed.
Unexpectedly, he ran away at this time.
The successive changes inevitably disrupted the rhythm of Qin's conquest of the six states. As to what far-reaching impact it will have, it remains to be seen.
At least in the old territories of Korea, namely Nanjun and Yingchuan counties, some Korean nobles and children have been planning something in secret and are ready to take action.
The Qin State's rule over these two counties began to face challenges...
…
Before the Qin State issued a wanted order, Qin Mo had already brought Zhang Liang to Daliang and then returned to Heishui City through the teleportation array.
When he arrived at the Black and White Mountain Villa, he formally accepted Zhang Liang as his disciple.
This is for my junior brother.
In the following month, Qin Mo personally cleansed Zhang Liang's essence and marrow and taught him the "Nine Transformations of Golden Body" to help Zhang Liang complete body building as soon as possible.
…
While Qin Mo was teaching his disciples in Black and White Mountain, his deeds quickly spread among the player circle.
no way,
The Qin State has posted wanted posters everywhere.
It's hard not to notice.
Regarding this, everyone was surprised at first, then suddenly realized, and finally let out a sigh of "Oh~~~", obviously they were used to Qin Mo's troubles.
No,
Everyone is not used to it.
What everyone is more concerned about is what is so magical about the Jiuzhou Ding that is worth Qin Mo spending more than half a year on it. They are all looking forward to Qin Mo's next big move.
…
After leading Zhang Liang in, Qin Mo left the villa again.
As soon as he arrived at Blackwater City, he was stopped by Li Bingyun, who smiled bitterly and said, "You promised to scout the way for us, but it's been more than half a year and there's no news."
The players in Blackwater City are waiting impatiently...
Qin Mo smiled embarrassedly, "Something went wrong and delayed us." He was really busy conquering the Changping battlefield and had no time to care about other people.
Furthermore, Li Bingyun and others did not really rely on his information.
More than half a year has passed, and the Warring States Subcontinent is no longer a . A lot of information has been spread on the official website or through Tianshu.
There is no need for Qin Mo to take the lead.
"How is it? How many people from Blackwater City have entered the Warring States Subcontinent, and how many have obtained official positions?" Qin Mo was worried about the problem of talent loss.
"About 200 people, but only three of them got official positions," said Li Bingyun.
"So little?" Qin Mo was surprised.
After all, Blackwater City is a megacity that is said to have gathered more than one-tenth of China's talents.
How could...
"You don't know how difficult it is to seek an official position." Li Bingyun complained, "Not only in Qin, but also in other vassal states, any important official position is controlled by nobles or clan disciples, and it is impossible to get in."
For example, academies in the State of Lu almost had a monopoly.
Similar ones include the Mechanical City of Song, the Taoist Temple of Chu, the Jixia Academy of Qi, the Taoist Hall of Qin, etc. The various schools of thought were unevenly distributed among themselves, so there was no room for players to interfere.
really,
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Players may be knowledgeable and have the "foresight" of modern people, but in terms of spiritual practice, they are no different from the ancients and are all on the same starting line.
The ancients even had more advantages, at least they had a stronger cultural heritage.
"Then, what are those who don't seek official positions doing in the Warring States Subcontinent?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
"What else can I do? I can only be employed as a guest mage."
This is relatively fair.
All countries are the same, dividing into nine grades.
The first grade is the highest and the ninth grade is the lowest.
The classification standard is also very simple, that is, to look at the guest's cultivation level, the ninth level of body forging, the eighth level of Qi refining, the seventh level of foundation building, the sixth level of Dan formation, the fifth level of Nascent Soul, the fourth level of Spirit Transformation, the third level of Void Refining, the second level of Fusion, and the first level of Mahayana.
Compared with the official positions where each official is assigned his own position, there is no limit on the number of guest officials.
It all depends on the strength of the vassal states.
For example, the Four Princes of the Warring States Period were wealthy enough to rival a country, and each of them claimed to have thousands of guest officials.
“Isn’t this good?”
Qin Mo didn't understand. Wouldn't it be good to be a guest official?
"What's good about that?" Li Bingyun shook his head. "To put it nicely, I'm a guest official. To put it bluntly, I'm actually a bodyguard, a guard, or a thug. I'm frantically testing the brink of death every day."
The Warring States subcontinent is rich in spiritual energy, and correspondingly, demons are rampant.
Not less than the prehistoric continent.
As long as you leave the city and enter the suburbs, you may be attacked by monsters at any time.
The situation in the villages was even worse.
Monsters would visit almost every year, and ordinary people lived in fear.
In order to protect the country and the people, at this time we have to rely on guest monks, who are sent to various counties, towns, townships and villages.
There is a resident wizard at each level.
When a player is hired as a guest mage, he will most likely be assigned to the grassroots level, that is, the village level, to face the threat of monsters.
The sect's disciples all stayed in the relatively safe city.
It's really pitfall...
In addition, guest mages have another important duty, which is to participate in wars.
It's even more dangerous.
Qin Mo was speechless after hearing this.
Sure enough, not only the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, but their cunningness should also not be underestimated.
That is really black!!!
"You stopped me, but do you have any plans?" Qin Mo asked Li Bingyun.
Li Bingyun looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked quietly: "What magical effect does the Jiuzhou Ding have? You are so anxious to return to the Warring States Subcontinent. Are you going to make another big move?"
In fact,
After learning about the deception of the Warring States subcontinent, many people hoped that Qin Mo could stand up again and imitate what he did before in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent and Zhu Xian subcontinent to kill the natives.
Turn the world upside down.
Although there is no resurrection option, deep down, many players still subconsciously regard the natives of "Honghuang" as inferior beings, and are not willing to be bullied by them like this.
Resistance is inevitable.
"Then just wait, there should be news soon." Qin Mo said.
