Chapter 665 - 665 On the way
Beyond the border of the Shiwan Mountains, plains and lakes gradually increase, forming a rich and colorful landform.
In the "Jiuzhou Geography", southern Xinjiang can be roughly divided into two major regions, namely "Shiwan Mountains" and "Jiyuan", the two names represent two major forces dominating southern Xinjiang.
Wan Yao Kingdom and Gu Clan.
"Why is there no food in southern Xinjiang in the "Jiuzhou Geography"?"
Mu Nanzhi sat cross-legged on a rock by the stream, holding a blue book, concentrating on
Miao Youfang and Hongying Guardian were responsible for cooking food.
"Then you have to ask the Confucian Sage."
Xu Qian'an sat down beside her and smiled, "Maybe the Confucian Sage doesn't like food."
"Jiuzhou Geography" was written by the Confucian Sage after he traveled all over Jiuzhou for three years. It simply records the mountains, rivers and river distribution in various parts of Jiuzhou.
The later "Dafeng Geography" was written by the descendants of Confucianists imitating the Confucian Sage.
Mu Nanzhi believed it and said:
"But the mountains and rivers, as well as the scattered tribes, are recorded in great detail..."
As she read, her mouth twitched suddenly:
"What kind of barbarians are these?"
There are countless tribes in Southern Xinjiang, ranging from a few hundred years old to thousands of people, scattered all over Southern Xinjiang like stars in the sky.
Their customs are very strange. In Mu Nanzhi's opinion, they are simply uncivilized barbarians.
Xu Qian'an took the "Jiuzhou Geography" and looked at it carefully. It said that there was a tribe 320 miles west of Southern Xinjiang, called "Dog God". The tribe had a custom that men and women must marry a monster called "Horn Dog" after they become adults and become partners.
From then on, they lived together, hunted together, and depended on each other for life and death.
Xu Qian'an looked down and found that this monster called "Horn Dog" was characterized by living in groups, understanding human nature, and being fierce and aggressive.
It lived in the area around the "Dog God" tribe.
"This is the choice of nature."
Xu Qian'an stood up, holding a book in one hand and one hand behind his back, posing as a teacher, and popularizing science to Mu Nanzhi:
"The birth of any customs and culture is related to the surrounding environment. It can be said that the environment determines the culture. For example, our farming in the Central Plains and the nomadic life of the northern monsters are determined by the environment."
Mu Nanzhi only understood half of what he heard, and frowned:
"Then, then their marriage with the horned dog is also caused by the environment? Why is that?"
"It is said in the book that monsters like "horned dogs" are aggressive by nature and understand human nature. They are undoubtedly excellent partners. You can understand it as living together."
"Then how do they reproduce?"
Mu Nanzhi blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent.
Unconsciously, the topic has become a little bit colorful... Xu Qi'an said, "I knew you were most curious about this."
Mu Nanzhi was instantly defeated, blushing and "spitting", unable to pretend anymore.
"I think this is more like a respectful taming. Horned dogs are human-like and have quite high intelligence, which is not comparable to ordinary dogs, so they cannot be tamed. After contacting us in the Central Plains, the Inugami tribe found that "marriage" was a very grand ceremony, so they imitated this ceremony to show respect for horned dogs. And horned dogs also accepted this ceremony."
Xu Qi'an gave his own judgment.
"Then turn three pages forward."
Mu Nanzhi said.
Xu Qi'an followed his words and turned three pages forward. It recorded a tribe called "Pan". The tribe leader had the power to take away the virginity of a newlywed woman when a young man and a woman got married.
"This is not determined by the environment." She pinched her waist.
Xu Qian'an touched his chin and asked, "Do you know what a lion group is like?"
Mu Nanzhi shook his head.
"The structure of a lion group is that a male rules a group of females. When the male lion first rules the group, it will bite all the cubs of its predecessor to death. This first night is actually the same principle." Xu Qian'an argued:
"Think about it, if one of these brides gives birth to the patriarch's offspring, then his bloodline will be continued. This has little to do with the environment, but it is related to the instinct of creatures to reproduce. Spreading branches and leaves is the instinct of creatures."
He was not making up these words. The customs of creatures are related to the environment. Otherwise, how can we say that the local water and soil nurture the local people.
The simple proverb contains the most essential truth of biological evolution.
Mu Nanzhi thought about it, reluctantly accepted it, and then said:
"Turn back eight pages."
Xu Qian'an turned back eight pages. The tribal custom recorded there was that when a son turned 18, he had to challenge his father. If he lost, he would be kicked out of the house. If he won, he would inherit everything from his father, including his father's daughter and his own brothers and sisters.
I can't make it up anymore. I haven't even come into contact with those tribes. How can I know the origin of their customs?......Xu Qian'an complained crazily in his heart.
"Wait, why are all the tribes you remember so strange?"
Xu Qian'an looked at her suspiciously.
Mu Nanzhi felt that she was outmaneuvered. She stammered and turned her head away guiltily, pretending to look at the scenery elsewhere:
"It's just that it's strange, so I'm impressed......"
No, you reminded me of a sentence I heard in my previous life, "Goddesses also like to watch love education films.".....Xu Qian'an complained in his heart, threw the "Jiuzhou Geography" aside, and then took out the fragments of the Earth Book.
[Three: Lina, are you and Lingyin still on the boat? When can we reach Qingzhou? ]
He took the Red Tassel Guardian and could reach the Gu Tribe in less than five days. Considering that the Gu Tribe is also a barbarian, they will definitely not be hospitable. Taking a local with him will help reduce conflicts.
[Five: I'm in Yuzhou. I was in Yuzhou yesterday. ]
Lina replied.
So fast? Xu Qian'an was stunned: [Three: Who brought you to Yuzhou? ]
The canal transportation can't be so fast, and Lina is a Li Gu tribe member who is even more vulgar than a warrior, so it's impossible for her to control the flying sword.
[Five: We met the teacher of Erlang brothers on the boat and went to Qingzhou with them. The day before yesterday, Erlang brothers drove me and Lingyin out of Qingzhou. ]
Did you two steal his food...Xu Qian'an replied by letter:
[Do you know the way? ]
[Five: Xu Ningyan, you underestimate me too much. Erlang once told me a formula: up north, down south, left west, right east, rush towards the south. ]
Wow, it rhymes! Xu Qian'an saw Li Miaozhen jump out and send a letter:
[Two: If you get lost, just ask passers-by. Yuzhou is south of Nanjiang. When you went north to Beijing, you went to Yuzhou. You won't forget it. ]
[Five: It shouldn't be. ]
Lina said.
The members of the Tiandihui questioned for a while.
[Three: How long will it take you to get from Yuzhou to Southern Xinjiang? ]
[Five: If you don't get lost or cheated, you can get there in seven days and seven nights with Lingyin on your back. ]
Huh.....Xu Qian'an let out a helpless breath and sent a letter:
[Don't pay attention to strangers. If you have any trouble, come to me at any time. How is my Lingyin? ]
[Five: She can eat, sleep and drink, no problem. ]
Well, Taoist Master Jinlian said before that Lingyin has a tough life... Xu Qian'an was about to put away the fragments of the Earth Book when he suddenly saw Li Lingsu's letter:
[Everyone, how do you lead a team of 300 people? ]
Xu Qian'an knew something was wrong and sent a letter asking: [What did you do. ]
The members of the Tiandihui waited silently for Li Lingsu's reply.
[Seven: I didn't do anything. I just don't allow them to rob the poor, rape women, rob caravans, and all evil things. I also don't allow them to leave the village and give them rice and grain regularly. ]
After Li Lingsu gathered the refugees, he settled down in a deserted village.
[Seven: They were fine at first, but after a few days, they wanted to assassinate me. ]
[Two: Stupid, you are imprisoning them. How do you usually manage these people? ]
[Seven: No management....]
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
[Two: Stupid, you have to train them. You neither manage them nor imprison their freedom. Who else can I assassinate if I don't assassinate you? Forget it, you will send me a letter later and I will teach you how to manage the team. ]
After the Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix of Tianzong finished speaking, Chu Yuanzhen said:
[I have gathered a thousand refugees here, and the training has begun to show results. In a few days, I plan to take them to Qingzhou to participate in the war. There is another thing. According to a group of refugees under my command who escaped from Jiangzhou, there are also people from the underworld who are gathering refugees and robbing merchants and gentry. ]
[Two: Didn't the emperor not adopt Xu Ningyan's suggestion? Is it a coincidence? ]
[Four: Your Highness, what do you think? ]
Chu Yuanzhen directly confronted Huaiqing.
[One: This palace sent someone to do it. ]
Huaiqing admitted it generously.
[One: Ning Yan's strategy is very effective. This palace appointed twenty confidants to gather refugees and rob the gentry and wealthy families. The court received reports of the bandits' rampages and riots every day, but according to the secret reports received by this palace, various places have become much more stable. ]
This stability is only relative to the previous situation. With the manpower she sent and the efforts of the Tiandihui members, it is impossible to suppress the entire Central Plains refugees.
But it must be said that Xu Ningyan's strategy has an immediate effect.
Rob the gentry and merchants to support the refugees, rob one household to support a hundred households, and the local area will quickly stabilize.
The price is that doing so will shake the ruling class of a county.
If the leader of the bandits is a grassroots hero, then the ruling power of the Dafeng court will be in jeopardy.
But when the bandit leader is one of their own, the only ones sacrificed are the lower and middle ruling classes such as the gentry and prominent families.
Huaiqing continued to send letters:
[Chu Yuanzhen, if your team has initial discipline, then stock up on food and prepare to march westward. You too, especially Li Miaozhen, I know you are good at leading troops in battle.
[It is best to go west now, gather refugees along the way, and form a team.]
[Two: Why, why should I listen to you.]
Feiyan Xia didn't say anything and started to argue.
Chu Yuanzhen sent a letter saying: [I understand what your highness means. Now that the war in Qingzhou has started, how can the Buddhist sect supporting the Yunzhou rebels not make any moves? Sooner or later, they will send troops to Leizhou.]
Huaiqing continued: [By then, the court will be fighting on two fronts, coupled with internal troubles, and will be forced to shrink the front line. The Yunzhou and Buddhist coalition forces will push the front line all the way to the capital.]
Li Miaozhen suddenly realized and was shocked.
She is very capable in leading troops, but her overall view is a little poor. She has always believed that Qingzhou is the top priority of this war and ignored Buddhism.
[Six: By then, I don't know how many innocent people will die in the war. ]
Master Hengyuan had no choice but to send a letter.
Xu Qian'an sent a letter saying: [Buddhism will not send a large army to the east, at most it will be a small-scale harassment. ]
[One: Why do you think so? ]
Huaiqing sent a letter to question.
[Three: I did a trivial thing in southern Xinjiang. I fought with the second-grade Arhat Asura, unlocked the seal of Shenshu, and reached an alliance with the Wan Yao Kingdom. In recent days, the Wan Yao Kingdom will attack the Buddhist forces in the Ten Thousand Mountains and recover the old land. You wait for news. ]
There was silence inside the Tiandihui for a while, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird.
[Seven: You fought with the second-grade Arhat and successfully unlocked the seal of Shenshu? ]
Li Lingsu's mentality collapsed. Isn't Xu Qian'an sealed? When will he grow up to fight against the second-grade Arhat?
Last time in Jianzhou, he almost died in the hands of the second-grade Rain Master. Compared with the second-grade, his strength is far behind.
[One: Is this true? Have you really formed an alliance with the Wan Yao Kingdom? Wan Yao Kingdom wants to go to war with Buddhism and recover the old territory? ]
Huai Qing asked three questions in a row. For the cold and noble princess, this is enough to show how much emotional fluctuations are at this moment.
Xu Ningyan, this guy, has never disappointed people... Li Miaozhen sighed in her heart.
[Four: Wonderful, so I can go south with confidence to support Qingzhou. Using the Wan Yao Kingdom to contain Buddhism is the best choice at the moment. There are many people who can think of this method, but only you, Xu Ningyan, can really connect with the Wan Yao Kingdom. ]
[Six: Amitabha, Lord Xu has saved countless lives this time. ]
After the group chat ended, Xu Qian'an collected the fragments of the Earth Book and found that Mu Nanzhi had taken off her embroidered shoes. A pair of delicate white feet were soaking in the stream, splashing water happily.
These feet were only slightly larger than Xu Qian'an's palm.
The skin was fine and tender, without calluses, slender and well-proportioned, the toes were round, and the soles were pink. This was not a foot, but the most perfect work of art in the hands of a master.
The charm of the flower goddess lies in her perfection. Her temperament, appearance and figure are all top-notch... Speaking of which, the national teacher should come to me for dual cultivation. Why hasn't she contacted me for a long time... Oh no, maybe the network is down and she can't find me...
Xu Qian'an was startled and reacted suddenly.
........
Beijing, Sitianjian.
Luo Yuheng drove the golden light and landed on the Bagua platform.
The supervisor sat at the desk with his eyes closed, like a sculpture.
Luo Yuheng took a quick look and found that it was just a shell, and the soul was no longer there.
She walked down the stairs, closed her eyes for a moment, and went straight to the alchemy room on the seventh floor.
In the huge alchemy room, a group of white-robed sorcerers were busy and complaining:
"Another war, damn it!"
"Yes, yes, they have started to refine magic tools in batches again. Such magic tools are soulless, which is an insult to us alchemists."
"Only the profound knowledge of biological alchemy is what our generation pursues."
"Brother Song, why don't you lead us to leave the Si Tian Jian and set up our own school. Let's create an alchemist sect together."
Song Qing cursed: "Do you want to be thrown into the furnace by the supervisor teacher?"
He paused and said: "Unless I replace the supervisor teacher in the future."
Luo Yuheng entered the alchemy room, his voice was cold and pleasant:
"Is there no one in the Si Tian Jian?"
Song Qing was stunned when he saw Luo Yuheng, thinking who are you, when did you appear.
Luo Yuheng frowned slightly: "Luo Yuheng."
"Ah, Master Guozheng..." Song Qing suddenly realized.
Looking at the man with dark circles under his eyes, Luo Yuheng almost suspected that he was playing hard to get. Among the disciples of the Supervisor, there was actually someone who didn't know her?
On the contrary, she knew Song Qing and had seen his portrait.
"Where is Xu Qian'an? My sound transmission jade talisman can't find him." Luo Yuheng frowned.
"Mr. Xu hasn't come to the Sitian Observatory for a long time. Since I entered the martial arts world, I have rarely seen him."
Song Qing just glanced at Luo Yuheng's beautiful face and thought that it was not as attractive as the experiment at hand, so he stopped paying attention. He lowered his head to fiddle with the equipment and said:
"I can't contact him either, but Senior Brother Sun has a sound transmission conch in his hand, which matches the conch in Mr. Xu's hand. If you find Senior Brother Sun, you can find Mr. Xu.
"Well, Senior Brother Sun should be in Qingzhou now."
After saying that, he looked up and found that the National Master was gone.
"Senior Brother Sun, that's the National Master. "
An alchemist next to him was amazed: "She is so beautiful that she can overwhelm the whole country."
Song Qing said unhappily: "Don't think about it. You can't think about that kind of woman."
The alchemist said unhappily:
"Brother Song, you are doubting my devotion to alchemy. I have already devoted my life to alchemy and never married. What I want to say is, let's refine a female body for Mr. Xu, just like the national master."
As soon as this was said, the alchemists around him echoed:
"What a good idea. With Mr. Xu's lustful nature, he must be ecstatic and hold her day and night and can't get out of bed."
"Great, so Mr. Xu can give us the remaining half of the blue book."
"But this will anger the national master, right?"
"What are you afraid of? The supervisor teacher will take care of it for us."
