The road is vague

Chapter 153: Martial Arts Master
There are three Wudutou in Bai'an County Government.

They can all be regarded as top-notch masters in the martial arts world, and martial arts experts who have mastered internal strength.

These warriors who have mastered internal strength can rival cultivators below the seventh level of Qi training. Their position is even more scarce than the inspectors of the Ministry of Destiny.

As a Wudutou, they are all officials of the eighth rank.

If you go one step further, you can go to Jingzhou to take the martial arts exam, or go to the secular martial arts sects in various states to practice.

If a mortal's martial arts skills advance further, breaking through the limitations of the acquired realm and entering the innate realm, he will become a martial arts master and can apply to the court to establish a school.

Can be responsible for teaching mortals martial arts.

However, there are very few warriors who are willing to do this.

In the entire Muzhou territory, there are currently only two mortal martial arts sects, namely Chanyu Temple and Zhanghe School.

Han Kui, the little arhat of Eighteen Mountains, was originally a monk of Chanyu Temple.

Ma Ling's family members are from the Zhanghe faction.

The Daqian Kingdom has clear regulations for these sects that practice secular martial arts. They will have a high degree of autonomy, no different from local gods. They can also be exempted from some taxes by maintaining local security and establishing merits.

However, these mortal martial arts sects also have relevant restrictions.

That is, there must be at least one Xiantian realm martial arts master in charge, who holds a seventh-rank official position in the court, and his status is equivalent to Li Mo's deputy general flag position.

If there is a break in the inheritance, other martial arts schools have the right to replace it and merge the martial arts.

The imperial court will not prevent the relevant inheritance from happening.

From this point of view, secular martial arts sects are exactly the same as the major immortal mountains and holy places of cultivators, except that the major immortal mountains and holy places require at least one Nascent Soul stage cultivator to be in charge.

But the fact is.

The vast majority of warriors, after achieving success in their training, would rather go to Xia Country to gain further improvement, hoping to one day achieve the so-called Golden Elixir, and from then on seem to be no different from cultivators.

But as far as Li Mo knows.

In fact, there are still differences between the two.

The cultivation of a cultivator relies on spiritual roots, while the cultivation of a warrior relies on spiritual perception.

To use a specific metaphor, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like rivers and oceans, and cultivators are like fish, who are born to breathe through gills and can swim carefree.

Warriors are turtles, with stronger lungs, and can travel to a certain extent.

of course.

This analogy may not be correct, as it is only limited to Li Mo's current understanding.

However, there has always been no shortage of ambitious people within the territory of Daqian, who have accomplished the task of proving their truth through strength, breaking through the limitations of the innate realm, and eventually becoming on par with cultivators with their mortal bodies, becoming mythical figures in the eyes of countless warriors, and holding important positions in the court.

However, these few legendary existences are almost negligible compared to the huge base number of cultivators.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to prove their truth through martial arts. This can be seen from the fact that the Great Xia Kingdom has almost gathered all the martial arts talents in the Central Plains, but can only be ranked at the bottom of the six major countries.

Zhang Qin came to Bai'an County with a heavy heart.

As one of the three constables from Hua'an Town who had met with the government office to take part in the assessment, he was not very confident.

He has memorized the content of the assessment.

The first level is a martial arts assessment.

Those who take the assessment need to obtain approval from at least two Wudu heads.

Zhang Qin was quite confident about this level.

Although his martial arts talent is not outstanding, he is hardworking. Now is his thirteenth year of martial arts training, and he is confident that he can pass.

really.

After some combat practice, Zhang Qin successfully passed the first level of the assessment.

The three Wudu heads who were in charge of the assessment here all gave him affirmation, which made Zhang Qin feel a little relieved.

But whether one can be promoted to captain of the police is not solely determined by the level of martial arts.

After becoming a captain of police, he would become a ninth-rank official appointed by the imperial court of Daqian Kingdom. The captain of police in Daqian Kingdom was a replacement system, and his salary was paid directly by the imperial court of Daqian Kingdom.

In other words.

The number of constables in the Daqian court was fixed.

Only when a captain of police is promoted, resigns, dies or retires, and a vacancy appears, can a new captain of police be promoted. This is very similar to the small flag system of the Tianming Division.

The Wudutou who came after him did not have similar restrictions, just like the deputy general flag of the Tianming Division.

After all, realm itself is a limitation.

Zhang Qin looked at the constables in each town who had passed the preliminary assessment. There were thirteen of them in total, but there were only three vacancies in this assessment.

Next is the competition for case-solving achievements.

Thanks to the great evil spirit incident in Tanhe, Hua'an Town six years ago, Zhang Qin was deeply involved in the case, received commendations, and gained merits, so he should be able to pass this round of assessment smoothly.

The facts were just as he thought.

About one stick of incense later.

Of these thirteen people, seven were eliminated.

There were only six people left, and they had to compete to select three winners, which made Zhang Qin both excited and worried.

Excitedly, he made it to the third level.

What is worrying is that the third stage is a competition for recommendation. I only got the township agreement of Hua'an Town and the recommendation letters of two village heads, which really means nothing.

at this time.

A familiar figure appeared in the examination room.

Zhang Qin looked at Li Mo, who was wearing a flying bird suit. He recognized that it was the official uniform of the deputy chief of the Tianming Division. He was immediately shocked and looked incredible.

The reason why Li Mo chose to appear at this time was naturally well-reasoned.

If he showed up now, he would just be following the rules and delivering his and Jiang Feiyan's recommendation letters to Zhang Qin. However, if he showed up at the beginning of the assessment, he would be suspected of cheating.

However, he really didn't expect that he would have an unexpected gain during this trip!
In the past, he had caused complaints from the county chief constables and detectives for investigating the disappeared and forgotten people in various places. So he offered two hundred taels of silver as a reward, which benefited the county chief constables and detectives and improved their relationship.

Just now when he was waiting outside, Captain Wang actually told him a secret news.

A martial arts master of the Xiantian realm was arranged here by the governor to establish a sect in Bai'an County, but the place for the establishment has not yet been selected.

Li Mo suddenly had an idea.

If this martial arts master could be lured to Hua'an Town to establish a school, it would undoubtedly have a deterrent effect on the local evil forces.

Think of this.

He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It would be best to arrange it on Beishan Mountain. In this way, Shanbei Village might be able to get rid of poverty and become rich.

"Three captains, I am submitting a letter of recommendation. I am a little late. Please forgive me."

Li Mo walked forward and smiled slightly at the three Wudutou who were in charge of the assessment. The three Wudutou did not dare to be arrogant and stood up and bowed.

"Master Li!"

"General Li..."

Li Mo waved his hand, indicating to the three people that there was no need for formalities, and presented two letters of recommendation.

"This is a letter of recommendation from General Jiang of the Tianming Division and me. We recommend Constable Zhang Qin from Hua'an Town. He is of high moral character and is brave enough to do what is right. It has the seal of the Tianming Division, so you just need to follow the rules." Seeing this, the three Wudu heads smiled and agreed.

After all, at times like this, everyone is showing off their unique abilities.

Before the recommendation letter system, the Daqian Kingdom had undergone a reform. At that time, official positions in the Daqian Kingdom were mainly based on selecting filial and honest people. There was no such thing as the special examination. The recommendation letter was almost the only channel for becoming an official in the Daqian Kingdom, which led to the formation of a family monopoly and the rise of national strength entered a bottleneck period.

Later, Emperor Qianyuan launched the system of special examinations to select talents, which aroused resistance from some clans and caused some chaos.

finally.

Saint Emperor Qianyuan actually chose to take action himself and destroyed several entrenched aristocratic groups overnight, allowing people to witness the emperor's decisive and ruthless side and recognize Saint Emperor Qianyuan's true identity, that he was a cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, Saint Qianyuan soon discovered it.

The simple assessment-based appointment system also has a major drawback, namely the lack of morality. Without the ties of interpersonal relationships, many officials will focus on their own personal interests.

As time went by, the Daqian Kingdom formed the current selection system that combines assessment and recommendation.

Li Mo sent his and Jiang Feiyan's letters of recommendation, which can only be said to be his best effort.

If the two general flags of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County cannot guarantee Zhang Qin's promotion to captain of the police, then he can only wait for the next time.

No matter how dumb Zhang Qin was, he finally reacted at this moment.

He immediately looked excited and looked at Li Mo.

The two general flags of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County, one is of the seventh rank, and the other is of the seventh rank, which is almost equivalent to the personal recommendation of the county magistrate.

After doing all this.

Li Mo looked around and saw a burly man in plain clothes in the distance, and walked over with a smile.

"May I ask if you are Lord Dou?"

"My surname is Dou, and my given name is Chi. I wonder if you, the General, have any advice for me?"

The man was eight feet tall, with a weathered face and a careless attitude.

When he saw Li Mo coming to him, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Although he is now a warrior in the innate realm, the stronger he becomes, the more he can feel the huge gap between warriors and cultivators.

As a martial artist in the Xiantian realm, he was naturally no longer afraid when facing a cultivator in the Qi training stage.

But if he faces a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if the other party is only in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, he will still be unable to cope with it and feel tremendous pressure.

Unless he launches a sneak attack at the first moment when the two sides are close to each other, he will have some chance of winning.

Otherwise, once the two sides start fighting, he will be unable to resist.

So at this moment, although the official positions of both parties are from the seventh rank, from the perspective of personal strength, he really dare not be arrogant when facing the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him.

"My surname is Li, my given name is Mo. Lord Dou Chi, may I have a moment with you?"

"So, Sir Li, please."

After the two arrived at a secluded place, Li Mo went straight to the point.

"It's like this. I heard that Lord Dou wants to establish a sect in Bai'an County?"

"indeed so."

Dou Chi nodded and admitted, "I applied to the court, and the governor arranged for me to come here. I wonder what advice Lord Li has for me."

"I'm not worthy of your advice, but I do have a humble request."

Li Mo smiled brightly.

"To be honest, sir, I'm from Shanbei Village in Hua'an Town. Within Hua'an Town, there's a river called Tanhe River. In the center of that winding, winding land, there's a mountain called Beishan. This place is blessed with natural beauty and unique natural resources. Nestled between mountains and rivers, it's home to many outstanding people. It was once a renowned sacred mountain, and my mother is buried there. So, if you haven't chosen a place to establish your sect, you might consider this place! Haha, of course, if you have other considerations, I won't blame you."

Li Mo's attitude was gentle and elegant, which made Dou Chi look thoughtful.

"In that case, I'll set off tomorrow to take a look. By the way, I wonder who Lord Li just recommended? Would you be willing to let him go with me?"

Dou Chi is interested in making close friends.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately revealed a happy smile.

"That man's name is Zhang Qin, he's my cousin, the second one from the left."

"cousin?"

Dou Chi was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"I wonder how old Mr. Li is this year?"

"This... Hehe, to be honest with you, Lord Dou, I am only twenty-two years old this year, just at the age of twenty-two. I wonder how old you are, Lord Dou?"

"hiss!"

Dou Chi took a deep breath and looked at Li Mo breathlessly.

He was only twenty-two years old. You should know that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage could easily live for over a hundred years. Even for some people who were good at health preservation, it was not surprising to live to be one hundred and seventy or eighty years old.

Dou Chi looked ashamed.

"I have just come to the age of 50. I am fifty years old this year."

She is actually the same age as Jiang Feiyan.

People who practice martial arts have vigorous qi and blood, especially those who cultivate internal strength, which also has some effect of prolonging life.

With Dou Chi's innate martial arts level, living to an old age should not be a problem. Although he is now in his fifties, he looks like he is in his prime, and is somewhat similar to Jiujiang Leilong Taishou.

The two chatted for a while and found they got along better and better.

As the assessment for promotion to captain of the police was completed, Zhang Qin ran over and looked at Li Mo excitedly.

"Li Mo, you..."

"Brother Zhang Qin, let me introduce you. This is Dou Chi, Lord Dou."

Li Mo interrupted Zhang Qin with a serious look on his face.

"Master Dou is a master of Xiantian martial arts, and he is a great figure who will establish a school in Bai'an County. I have just recommended Beishan in Hua'an Town to Master Dou. You must entertain Master Dou well!"

"hiss!"

Zhang Qin took a deep breath when he heard this.

He looked at Dou Chi in disbelief.

The people from the Department of Destiny are cultivators, and are too far away from Zhang Qin.

But the martial arts master who founded the school was now right before his eyes. He couldn't help but look hesitant and excited, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed.

"I am Zhang Qin, the head constable of Hua'an Township, and I'm here to meet Lord Dou!"

There is no doubt that he passed the test successfully.

"Haha, since that sacred mountain was able to cultivate a genius like Lord Li, it must be a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Tomorrow I will set off with you to visit Beishan. Hmm... Beishan Sect, that's a good name."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qin immediately revealed an excitement that he could hardly suppress.

Shanbei Village is located directly north of Beishan.

Now there is a martial arts master who plans to establish a school here. This will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for Shanbei Village.

Perhaps this can be considered a great opportunity for the entire Hua'an Town.

At that time, disciples who come to learn from the master will surely flock to him, which will bring huge impetus to the development of the entire Hua'an Town, and will also be able to effectively deter the surrounding villains.
