When he was in Linzi, as soon as his battle with Lei Zhanqian ended, Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou personally came forward to recruit him. Many forces held back their thoughts.
Jiang Wang did not know how many forces were interested in him.
As for Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou's recruitment, it was very normal to him. After all, when he was in the Seven Stars Valley, Palace Master Mental Cultivation Palace Master Jiang Wuxie had already recruited him with extremely generous conditions.
Therefore, Jiang Wang did not have a deep understanding of his current position in Qi.
When he was in Beijun, he did not even dare to say a word and quietly ran away. He was afraid that his vague behavior of holding a Blue Medal would make the big shots in the Blue Medal system feel disgusted.
But now. The night watchman had already invited him, and Yue Leng was so "friendly". It was enough for him to realize that he was very popular in Qi.
He thought for a while and did not reject Yue Leng's good intentions. He immediately thanked him. "Then Jiang Wang will thank Constable Sir!"
Now that he had rushed back to Linzi, he would randomly choose a secret technique from the national treasury. At most, Chung Geng Sheng could make this random choice closer to a high-quality secret technique, but it was not very meaningful.
Now that Yue Leng had offered to teach him, it must be a Legalist secret technique. This could further tie Jiang Wang to the Blue Medal. After all, at least one-third of the people in Da Qi's Blue Medal cultivated Legalism techniques.
Although Jiang Wang did not plan to switch to Legalism, the secret technique that Yue Leng personally taught him would not be too bad.
Therefore, no matter how he thought about it, he had no reason to reject — unless he wanted to cut ties with the Blue Medal and did not want to continue being a Blue Medal constable.
Also, there was another benefit to accepting Yue Leng's good intentions. It would make Lin Youxie more obedient and not blindly suspect people for no reason.
Jiang Wang's decision was very decisive. Yue Leng was also very straightforward. He immediately passed down the Legalism technique of the Inner Palace level.
It was the chain that seemed to have been formed from the void during the battle with Yin Guan.
It was called 'Imprison Body', and it was one of the ten most famous chains of Legalism.
It was actually a technique of the Outer Building Realm, but Yue Leng had simplified it and changed the method of exerting force so that it could be used in a battle of the Inner Mansion Realm.
However, compared to the shackles, Jiang Wang was actually more interested in the black iron pillar that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth. However, he knew that it was impossible to pass it to him.
After teaching Jiang Wang how to use the Shackling Chains, Yue Leng pointed out some details before he left.
As for the secret technique that Jiang Wang deserved, he would receive it on his behalf. As for whether he would give it to his juniors or trade it with someone else, that was Yue Leng's own business. It had nothing to do with Jiang Wang.
Of course, Yue Leng had expressed his goodwill. However, this was essentially just a trade. There were no emotional factors involved.
Jiang Wang accepted Yue Leng's goodwill and decided to temporarily join the Blue Medal team to gain some benefits. However, it didn't mean that he would be fixed in the Blue Medal system in the future. Based on what he knew, the Blue Medal constable was at most a commandant of the northern yamen.
Although the position of commandant of the northern yamen was very important, and there was a lot of room for advancement, Jiang Wang admitted that he didn't have Zheng Shi's ability to mediate between the various factions and firmly hold the Qi Emperor's trust.
After glancing at the distant outpost, Jiang Wang directly changed his direction and headed southwest of the Qi Empire.
The caravan that had gone to the Rong Nation had already been sent back. There was no need for him to make a trip to the Rong Nation and put on an act. He might as well head directly to the Xuankong Temple.
He had reached a tacit understanding with Yue Leng. At least within the Blue Medal, there shouldn't be anyone who would make things difficult for him.
...
...
In the Forest Ocean Origin World, Jiang Wang had promised Guan Yan that he would send his monk robes back to the Xuankong Temple. However, after returning to Linzi City, many things happened one after another, so it was delayed.
Taking advantage of this trip to the Yun Nation to visit An 'an, he might as well do everything that needed to be done.
Jiang Wang was alone, so there was no reason that he couldn't leave the country.
In the southwest of the Qi Empire, there was a country called "Xu". (After annexing the Yang Nation, the Qi Empire's map protruded to the northwest. The Xu Nation was only in the southwest direction after setting off from the Yang Nation. Actually, compared to the entire Qi Empire, the Xu Nation should be in the west.)
Just from the name alone, the Xu Nation seemed to be related to the Yang Nation.
In fact, there was indeed a connection.
It wasn't just the Yang and Xu Nations.
In the southwest of the Qi Empire, there was a country called "Zhao". In the southeast, there was a country called "Chang".
In fact, these four countries were originally split from a single country.
The overlord of the east before the Qi Empire was called "Yang".
Mo Valley was the legendary place where the sun rose. The Xu Nation was named after this, which showed its great ambition.
When the Xu Nation was at its peak, it had completely unified the eastern region. To the northwest, it had conquered the endless quicksand. To the southwest, it had conquered the Jianfeng Mountain (a famous mountain in the Xia Nation). To the west, it had conquered the central region and competed with the Jing Nation.
Unfortunately, it declined after reaching its peak. The dynasty collapsed overnight, and the empire became nothing.
The entire country was split into nine countries. At that time, they were called the Nine Sunrise Nations.
They were all from the same source.
However, each of them said that they were the old Yang Zhengshuo, but in fact, they were only considered side branches.
The real Xu Nation's imperial bloodline had long been wiped out by themselves.
Later, with the rise of the Qi Empire and the revival of the Emperor Wu, the Qi Empire became the overlord of the eastern region. The Xu Nation was gradually forgotten.
Of the "Nine Sunrise Nations," only four nations remained.
Speaking of which, among the Nine Sunrise Nations, the Yang Nation was the most powerful. It occupied the largest portion of the Xu Nation's legacy, so it was named "Yang".
However, it was also because of this that the Qi Empire was most afraid of it. After eating it for many years, it finally swallowed it.
The Buddhist Land under the rule of the Xuankong Temple was in the south of the Xu Nation.
…
After entering the Xu Nation, Jiang Wang encountered a ferocious beast tide in a small town.
Looking at the ferocious beasts that had no sense of reason, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
After staying in the peaceful Qi Empire for so long, he almost forgot what other nations were like.
Jiang Wang pulled out his sword and helped the townspeople defend the town, but he didn't follow the tracks of the ferocious beasts to destroy the beast nest.
He might be thanked for protecting the townspeople. If he destroyed the beast nest, he would be hunted down.
Now, he already knew what ferocious beasts meant to a small nation. It was the blood of many innocent people, but at the same time, it was an indispensable resource.
The townspeople who were saved were very grateful. They asked for the name of their savior and said that they would build a shrine for him.
Jiang Wang didn't say a word and left in a hurry.
He wanted to tell them that the existence of those ferocious beasts was tacitly allowed and even condoned by the rulers of their nations.
However, would this situation change after he told them? It would only make these ordinary people fall into despair.
Therefore, he didn't say anything in the end. He couldn't bear the gratitude of those people.
It seemed that all the cultivators in power in the world had a tacit agreement to hide the origin of the ferocious beasts from the people under their rule.
Some of the later cultivators learned about it early, while some learned about it late. However, in the end, they all maintained that dreadful "tacit agreement".
Perhaps they were willing or unwilling, but in the end, they all condensed into one figure — Dou Yuemei, who had broken through five prefectures and pulled out Yuheng Peak, walked down Yuheng Peak in a daze after learning the truth.
Jiang Wang once regarded this as the greatest injustice.
However, why did he become a member of this "tacit agreement"?
He asked himself.
However, he didn't have an answer.

PS: Where does the truth of the world reflect? I think it's in its customs, food, shelter, and transportation, as well as its history and legends.
