Chapter 996
When Wang Ben came back, everyone exchanged greetings again.
During the banquet, many dignitaries from Jiangling City also came.
Most of them are nobles from Nanjun. Although they are very unfamiliar with Gai Nie, after all, Gai Nie was very low-key before when he was in Daqin, and not many people really know him.
But after Wang Jian's introduction, the complexions of the dignitaries in Nanjun changed, and they looked at Gai Nie and Zhang Liang differently.
"Gai Jianshi!"
"Meet Swordsman Gai"
Everyone is very enthusiastic.
It's no wonder that everyone is arrogant and respectful.
If Gai Nie is just a swordsman, then it is not worth making friends with people like them. Even if he is His Majesty's personal guard, that is a thing of the past.
After leaving Xianyang City for more than two hundred years, who still remembers, will His Majesty still remember?
Among the dignitaries sitting here, the lowest ones are the titles of dukes and officials. The prefects of Nanjun, in the past, were all emperors.
If you go one step further, you can enter the center of Xianyang City.
But Gai Nie is now a Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal, for those present, it is different.
In the past, everyone might have to worship once a day.
After all, golden immortals used to be gods in the sky, and those who believed in gods and Buddhas would sacrifice and pray to gods and Buddhas.
Jinxian is an immortal immortal, living the same life as the heaven and the earth.
The dignitaries present here may be very powerful. In Nanjun, they are almost like emperors, but so what, after a hundred years, they will become nothing more than a piece of loess.
Even if some dignitaries practice Taoism, most of them have low cultivation bases. It is very good to be able to cultivate to the golden core, and they all rely on a lot of resources.
Those who practiced Dao with Jindan would only live two to three hundred years at most, and those who practiced Martial Dao might have a shorter lifespan.
Only after cultivating to the stage of refining the gods and nurturing the primordial spirit will the lifespan really skyrocket, and one can live for thousands of years, or even longer.
But for many rich and powerful, it is not so easy.
Daqin has never stopped the outflow of exercises, so even the bottom ones have the opportunity to gain the opportunity to practice.
However, whether it is martial arts, immortality, or other heretical ways, it is very difficult to get started without a real leader to teach.
The rich and powerful, it is not difficult for them to obtain the method of cultivating the Tao. There were a lot of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period.
Among the many dignitaries in Nanjun, none of them has a few books on exercises, and almost all have books on Qi training, Taoism, or martial arts.
However, apart from Wang Jian and his son, among the people present, the one with the highest cultivation level was only the young man next to the Nanjun prefect, who had barely reached the stage of refining gods.
Even the prefect of Nanjun's cultivation base is not high.
Not all officials are like Nalu Buwei, Li Si and so on.
Lu Buwei, a businessman, was able to become Daqin's chancellor, not just by opportunism. Back then, he was able to help the two generations of Qin Kings of Daqin to escape from Zhao State. The means he relied on were not just business. That His Majesty was almost captured by Zhao State back then. .
Also relying on Lu Buwei's powerful strength, the strength he showed back then was the pinnacle of a true immortal.
Now even more unfathomable.
Most of the Daqin officials are actually not high in cultivation, and some even have no cultivation.
After all, civil servants are not like martial arts, they don't need strong strength, they just need to be able to handle government affairs.
Moreover, the prefect of Nanjun was not born as a general, he was considered a big family in Beidi County, and he was also a disciple of the Legalist School.
Disciples of the Fa school are different from other schools of thought. They don't need to have a strong cultivation base, and they can explode with great power.
The Legalists could borrow the power of the dynasty.
Integrating the fate of the country with one's body is also a supernatural method created by the ancestor of the Legalist family.
However, this supernatural power of borrowing force is not so simple. There will be no pie in the sky. With the help of external force, a very strong force can be erupted, which also has consequences.
Every time the power of the dynasty is used, the corrosion of one's own body is also very serious, especially the consumption of spirit.
The origin of human beings is actually composed of essence, energy and spirit. The spirit is originally essence and spirit. The consumption of both is equal to the consumption of the origin of human beings.
As a result of this, most legal disciples will not live long. Even if they practice Taoism, it will only delay the result.
Some Legalist disciples who practice Taoism tend to have a shorter lifespan than other schools of thought at the same time, and even less than those who practice cruel martial arts.
This can be regarded as a shortcoming of Legalist disciples.
But even with such a serious sequelae, for those legal disciples, no one is willing to give up this supernatural power.
After all, an ordinary person can even display the power of an immortal. It is conceivable how many people can resist such a temptation.
Moreover, Daqin was ruled by the Legalists. Legalist disciples had a high status in Daqin. If they wanted to enter the center of Daqin, they had to be either legalist disciples or from the army. Others were much worse.
Not everyone is like Lu Buwei. Although he was born as a businessman, he has invested in two generations of King Qin.
Who can do this, there 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, but as a prefect of a county, his status is not much worse than that of Wang Jian and his son.
However, because Wang Jian and his son are all people with advanced cultivation bases, the higher the cultivation base in this era, the more longevity, and the longer they can protect the family.
The prefect of Nanjun can protect the family for decades at most, but Wang Jian and his son, even if they take off their general costumes, can still protect the family for hundreds or thousands of years.
This is the gap between the two.
Therefore, when facing Wang Jian and his son, the prefect of Nanjun will be one step behind and inferior to others. This is also a hidden unspoken rule.
In the world of mythology, personal strength is very important.
Even if the Great Qin is unified, the army is still very important. The center of the Great Qin, the civilian officials are still a bit inferior to the military officials.
If it weren't for the birth of Lu Buwei, the prime minister, I am afraid that the military would occupy half of the Great Qin Center, or even higher.
In this era, in fact, the boundaries between civil and military are not so clear.
There are many people who are about to enter the phase.
For example, Wang Jian and his son, they can also become Jiuqing Chinese, but most generals like to stay in the army.
In Daqin, the strong are still the most desirable, and there is no such thing as a horse letting go of Nanshan.
Especially the immortal way is evergreen, the various schools of thought are prosperous, and the ways of cultivation are prosperous, and more and more people are beginning to practice the way of transcendence.
It's a pity that there are really not many people who can achieve success in cultivation.
Most of the successful ones either went to the army or went to other places.
Only those with half a bucket of water will wander around. (end of this chapter)
