Chapter 94 Secret Realm Opportunity
Becoming Xie Yuan has a completely different status. In order to successfully open the store, Zhou Bai had to visit some small officials with gifts.

Now the people who invite Zhou Bai are at least high-ranking and serious state officials, and he doesn't even have time to meet some low-rank and ninth-rank officials.

Zhou Bai wanted to start his own business, so he naturally wouldn't avoid this opportunity to make connections. After attending several banquets, Duke Xie Yuan's reputation became bigger and bigger.

In particular, Cai Feng, the Zuo Counselor, who was a senior official of the state government, stood up for him in person, calling out the name "Zijian" in full view.

This is taking the characters personally, but it is really taking care of them as a nephew.

This made many officials respect Zhou Bai more, and promised him one by one that even if Zhou Bai was not in the state city in the future, they would definitely take care of the Zhou family's property.

Of course, Zhou Bai did not forget to tell Yao An, who was staying in the city, to send the case money to the officials who took care of them on time, especially Cai Feng, who was the most important.

Before leaving Zhoucheng, Zhou Bai also received a private invitation from a seventh-rank official, who belonged to the sixth prince, inviting him to join the sixth prince's command and serve for his great cause.

Of course, the conditions are very generous, giving away ten thousand taels of silver, and enjoying the treatment of a first-class guest.

And as long as he is admitted to the same Jinshi, he will be able to get the support of the faction of the Sixth Prince, and his official career will be smooth sailing from then on.

At this time, Zhou Bai already knew about the attack on his family, and he didn't need any evidence to know that it was the Zhao family.

As long as Zhou Bai speaks at this time, the sixth prince will definitely treat the Zhao family as an abandoned son and let the Zhou family deal with it to retaliate, but Zhou Bai is not willing to stand in line with a certain prince at will.

Not to mention that the sixth prince had previously tacitly agreed that the Zhao family was targeting him and the Zhou family. If they wanted to seek refuge, they would first seek refuge with other princes.

In early and mid-September, Zhou Bai traveled in Dingzhou County, the most prosperous place in Dingzhou, not only to familiarize himself with the terrain, but also to find opportunities to increase his luck.

However, it is a pity that several opportunities in memory did not come at the right time, and taking them by force would ruin the cause and effect.

So Zhou Bai rushed to Qingbao Valley before September 28th. This time, the Dingzhou Tianji Secret Realm will be opened in Qingbao Valley.

Green Treasure Valley is located in the northwest of Dingzhou County, far away from the state city and the Ningjiang River, and Zhou Bai can see fellow travelers along the way.

The secret realm of secrets can be moved, and the opening year is uncertain. The last time it was opened was ten years ago in the west of Dingzhou.

Every time before it is opened, visions will appear in the secret realm of secrets. This time, the sky above Qingbao Valley is shining with gorgeous aurora all day long.

Therefore, although most scholars don't know the exact time to open it like those who have the key, they still have time to rush over from other places.

After all, this is a heaven-sent opportunity, and the state will not block it.

The patrol soldiers stationed in Qingbao Valley are only to maintain the basic order and prevent accidents.

On September 28, Zhou Bai arrived at Qingbao Valley on time.

The mountains here are dense with fog, the forests are tall and the grass is deep. When the autumn yellow dominates the main color, everything is completely dyed.

The sky over the deep mountains and deep valleys is cloudy and treacherous, and the colorful aurora is wanton, as if reaching beyond the sky.

A large number of young scholars gathered outside the Green Treasure Valley under various wonderful scenes. They are all the scholars of the last five classes, that is, those who have achieved fame.

This is the unspoken rule of entering the secret realm all the time, and the first chance will only be given to the right people.

What is a suitable person is a person with sufficient future potential.

Of course, it is difficult to define the role of this first-line opportunity. It is nothing more than improving the comprehension of Taoism, enhancing the understanding of reading, or providing a lot of unrestrained luck and so on.

For the direct descendants of a prominent family, they would not fight for this opportunity.

However, Zhou Bai saw Sun Yucheng here, as well as the children of several families in Bei'an County, and even Ping Cang came. After Zhao Liangji's death, the Zhao family had many successors.

"Duke Xie Yuan also came to fight for the opportunity of the Secret Realm of Heaven. It seems that he has almost accumulated it. He wants to take the next year's Chunwei exam."

"Duke Xie Yuan attended the Luming Banquet hosted by the governor, he must have the key to the secret realm, so he must attend."

"Zhou Jieyuan, I don't know what's going on inside, if you can help, please be merciful!"

Zhou Bai, as Jieyuan in Dingzhou, is of course the focus wherever he goes.

It's just that this made Sun Yucheng very angry. Because he was at the critical moment of fighting for the power of the family, he returned to Bei'an County as soon as he finished the rural examination.

But how did he know that if he missed a mediocre Luming Banquet, he would lose a secret key.

Originally, he didn't particularly need this opportunity, but Sun Yucheng was not a direct son, and just needed something from the Secret Realm of Heaven to help him pass the Jinshi examination, so as to overcome all dissatisfaction within the family.

At noon, the situation in Qingbao Valley suddenly changed, and the colorful aurora all dimmed and disappeared, and the world was silent and dark.

At the entrance of the valley, a door that seemed to be pulling a crack appeared suddenly, and it emitted a great suction force.

The first to be affected is the person holding the key, such as Zhou Bai and other new imperial examination candidates who have participated in the Luming Banquet, no matter how far they are from the gate, they will be pulled into the valley by Chaofan's mighty power.

The deer in ancient paintings showed their imprints. They turned into halos to protect the hosts. Among them, Zhou Bai was the most conspicuous. The white deer jumping around him seemed to be coming home, and they were familiar with the road.

Then there are people who are destined to have other types of keys, and they are randomly distributed in the secret realm. There are hundreds of people in this group, and they are all successfully pulled in by the gate.

As for those who came here completely empty-handed and without any evidence, it all depends on their own luck. They lined up one by one and touched the light film of the gate.

Inside the Qingbao Valley is another space temporarily transformed from the secret realm of heaven and earth, which is temporarily derived from the rules of heaven and earth.

Zhou Bai felt like returning to the origin of heaven and earth when he was in this place, he couldn't see other people for a while, and couldn't feel the passage of time.

Until a shard of light floated leisurely in front of him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it decisively, a kind of mysterious and mysterious feeling came to his heart, and the contents of the Taoist scriptures in his memory turned the pages automatically in his mind.

This fragment of light seems to be a kind of comprehension of Dao, which can help Zhou Bai learn the knowledge of Taoism, just a fragment, let his comprehension of the five emperors' general outline go to a higher level.

After knowing how to get benefits, Zhou Bai naturally couldn't stay where he was, those fragments of chance were very hard to find, but they were nothing to Bai Luling.

After following Bai Luling for a few rounds, Zhou Bai easily won several fragments, including fragments that help enlightenment, fragments that help improve writing, and two fragments of luck that are very useful to him.

Moreover, the luck in this mysterious secret realm is very pure, and after absorbing it, it can directly benefit the foundation of one's own luck.

In the process of searching for the fragments, Zhou Bai also met other people, they followed behind the fragments and chased hard, not at all as relaxed as Zhou Bai.

Most people's fragments Zhou Bai would not grab, but for those who came to snatch his chance out of jealousy, Zhou Bai would not be polite.

For example, in a maze, Zhou Bai and Sun Yucheng encountered each other, and it happened that there were two fragments, and each side could get one, but Sun Yucheng insisted on taking them all, which made Zhou Bai only look at them with pity.

He had guessed for a long time that the ancient painting of Luming in the governor's hand came from the Secret Realm of Heaven, and the spirit of the deer inside also belonged to this place.

Zhou Bai didn't know whether it was because of his special soul or because of the mountain god's favor. In short, he was unstoppably lucky to be here with the spirit of the white deer.

So Sun Yucheng and his party were dumbfounded, they couldn't get out of the maze with the fragments of chance, let go of the fragments of chance, but could only watch them float towards Zhou Bai by themselves.

Fortunately, the chance fragments are only the most basic rewards in the secret realm of secrets, and those who are unlucky still have the biggest wave of chances that they have not experienced.

After a long time, huge bubbles of light and shadow appeared everywhere in the secret realm, and anyone who met them could enter.

"Pay attention. I heard that the life experiences of historical figures will be embodied in the secret realms of every state. If we can choose a suitable one to enter, we will not only gain luck, but also experience the lives of sages." Well-informed The man said to his companions.

Of course, Sun Yucheng also knew, so they began to screen the light and shadow bubbles for various clues, hoping to select the experience of a certain important person.

Because it is said that each person can only enter once.

However, when Zhou Bai freely shuttled in the bubble of light and shadow, everyone including Sun Yucheng became a little powerless. He was lucky to be here, how can you fight.

Others still want to try their luck by screening. Zhou Bai is already choosing his identity freely. Of course, he is not limited to one experience, so he will not refuse any light and shadow bubbles he encounters.

Every experience can give him a beneficial insight.

A scholar who studies hard in a cold window, with many years of reading experience, can read all the classics; a farmer who works hard day and night and is busy with the four seasons, let Zhou Bai fully understand farming; as a businessman who pursues the interests of people with his small and broad, Zhou Bai learns to break through the essence of business ...

Of course, the most important thing is the experience of officials at all levels, from the general affairs of the ninth-rank officials, to the seventh-rank county magistrates, and the fifth-rank county guards to govern the people...
