Tiger Roars in China

Chapter 91: 9 States

"Uncle Linghu, how can a sword master live for a thousand years?"

Li Meng is also very interested in the issue of life expectancy.

Linghu Changfeng smiled and said, "Once you step into the Holy Land, you have already transcended the realm of humans and will have a lifespan of a thousand years.

Practitioners, whether they are sword masters, martial artists or doctors, have a longer lifespan than normal people.

A normal person has a lifespan of a hundred years. Sword masters, martial artists, and doctors can all live to be over one hundred and fifty years old.

Once you enter the realm of great swordsman, you will have a lifespan of 500 years.

Once you enter the holy realm, you will have a lifespan of more than a thousand years."

Li Meng was secretly surprised. It turned out that this practice could prolong his life!

It seems that living another 500 years is not a dream!

"Uncle Linghu, since you have already mentioned this Saint Domain master, can you please explain the geography of the Nine States in detail?"

Li Meng is now thirsty for knowledge. If she misses this opportunity, there will be no chance of getting it again.

Linghu Changfeng pointed his long pole at Youzhou and said, "Well, let's start with Youzhou.

Youzhou is a small region located in a remote corner with many mountains and few plains. It has a total of fifteen cities and a population of five million.

To the east of Youzhou is the sea, to the west is the Hengduan Mountains, to the south is the Black Forest, and to the north is the Great Snow Mountain.

Huyue City is isolated and can be regarded as the bridgehead of Youzhou."

In fact, Li Meng roughly understood what Linghu Changfeng said.

“Next, let’s talk about our neighbor to the west, the Holy State.

Shengzhou has a vast territory, second only to Zhongzhou in area, and is the second largest state in the Shenzhou continent.

The territory of Shengzhou is mainly grassland, but there are also mountains, forests, rivers and lakes.

The Holy State has sixty cities and a population of fifty million, all of whom are fanatical believers of the Holy Religion.

The people of Shengzhou are tough and strong, and they mainly engage in animal husbandry, fishing and hunting. Two-thirds of the unicorns in the world are produced in Shengzhou.

Almost all of them practice cultivation, and all of them are soldiers. When they fight, they are fearless and never spare their lives.

Our Youzhou Black Armored Army has fought against their monk soldiers several times, and we have been defeated more than we have won.

The east of Shengzhou is separated from Youzhou by the Hengduan Mountains. The west of Shengzhou is separated from Cangzhou by the Jiajin Mountains. The north of Shengzhou is the Beihai. The south of Shengzhou is the Hetao area formed by the alluvial deposits of the Huyue River.

Linghu Changfeng gave a very detailed description of Shengzhou, and he also gave Li Meng a piece of advice.

"If you encounter bald monks in the future, try to stay away from them. They are a group of beasts who enjoy killing people. They are called thieves who steal heads."

Suddenly, Li Meng was stunned.

Don’t monks eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and be compassionate?

"Uncle Linghu, are you mistaken? Don't monks advise people to be kind?"

Linghu Changfeng stared at Li Meng with some suspicion and asked, "Young Sect Master, where did you hear these absurdities?

At that time, Shengzhou competed with us for the mineral deposits in the Hengduan Mountains and they captured our mountain city.

Tens of thousands of people in the entire city were massacred by them. Even the breastfeeding babies were not spared and were cooked and eaten by those bald beasts.

Those bald monks raped, robbed, killed and burned without any scruples.

Because they are cultivating for the afterlife, they can do whatever they want in this life."

Li Meng's eyes opened wide, and she was speechless for a long time. How come Buddhism, a good religion, became so different when it came to the Shenzhou continent?

Linghu Changfeng continued, "I heard that when Bai Mei and Bai Jie first found the Young Sect Master, he also had short hair. The Young Sect Master wouldn't have any connection with those monks, right?"

"No, no, I have never seen a monk in this world!"

Li Meng quickly distanced herself from those monks. They were not monks at all, they were clearly beasts!

“Of course you can’t see the monks. Apart from Shengzhou and Cangzhou, the monks dare not go to other states.

The sword masters in various states hate those monks so much that they want to kill them as soon as possible."

Linghu Changfeng explained to Li Meng why monks would not appear in other states.

"Why would Cangzhou accept monks? Aren't they afraid that monks will harm their people?"

Li Meng was really confused.

"Cangzhou's geographical environment is extremely harsh, with nothing but desert and Gobi, and only a few oases.

Most of the people living there are orcs, and humans only make up a minority.

There are sixteen cities in Cangzhou, all built on oases.

It is said that the leader of the Sirius Gang is an orc.

The Tianlang Gang and Yuezhou's Moon Worship Sect are mortal enemies, and the two sides have been fighting for years. If it weren't for the support of Shengzhou, Cangzhou would have been destroyed by Yuezhou long ago."

Linghu Changfeng's introduction to Cangzhou was very brief. There was really nothing to introduce about Cangzhou, which was even worse than Youzhou.

"Next is Yuezhou. Yuezhou is on a plateau, and it is extremely hot during the day. The locals go out at night. Their church is called the Moon Worship Cult, and it is said that they worship the moon.

On the Yuezhou Plateau, there is a very large lake called Moon Lake, which is also called Tianhu by the locals.

Almost half of Yuezhou's fifty cities are built around Moon Lake. At the same time, Yuezhou is also the third largest state among the nine states.

The people of Yuezhou are short, dark and thin, often active at night, and are also called the Ghost Clan. "

It seems that the division of the nine states makes sense. Each state has its own unique regional characteristics.

"Next to Yuezhou is Liangzhou in the southwest.

The territory of Liangzhou is very complex, with plateau snow-capped mountains, rivers and lakes, as well as the Hundred Thousand Mountains where poisonous insects and ferocious beasts roam.

The Maoshan Sword Sect rules Liangzhou. They practice the Way of Heaven and call themselves Taoists.

Li Meng asked nervously, "Uncle Linghu, this Maoshan Taoist priest is not as cruel and brutal as the monk, right?"

Linghu Changfeng looked at Li Meng in surprise and said, "Of course not. The Taoist priests of the Maoshan Sect follow the Way of Heaven. When they travel around the world, they never forget to help the poor and rescue the needy. They have a very good reputation."

Fortunately, the Taoist is still the Taoist, but the monk is no longer the same monk.

"The southernmost state is Yuzhou. Yuzhou is densely covered with rivers and lakes, with a crisscrossing water network and convenient transportation. It is also the richest state among the nine states.

Most of the wealthy merchants in Kyushu are from Yuzhou.

Yunmengze, the largest habitat of magical beasts, is located in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou also has fifty cities. Although its area is not as large as Yuezhou, its population is larger than Yuezhou."

"Going east from Yuzhou is Yuanzhou in the southeast.

Yuanzhou is located in the southeast of the country, close to the sea, and in the northwest there are many mountains and rocks. The people there feel like they are living in an abyss.

There are twenty cities in Yuanzhou, which are relatively scattered. They are jointly governed by eight forces and consulted together, and are called Tongji Society. "

“The one to the east is Haizhou.

The Haizhou people are mainly fishermen, living in coastal areas and on islands in the sea.

The Sea Shark Gang rules Haizhou, but the headquarters of the Sea Shark Gang is on the island, so we don’t have much information about them.”

In this regard, Linghu Changfeng has already introduced the geographical situation of Jiuzhou to Li Meng in detail.

Suddenly, Li Meng asked, "Second Uncle Linghu, did you miss something?"

Linghu Changfeng smiled mysteriously and said, "The Sword Sect no longer exists, so there is nothing to talk about in Zhongzhou."
