The first thousand seven hundred and seventy-ninth chapters
"It's... unbelievable."
"The country of Xiaowan is so small, is it necessary to exist?"
Ling Xu Yufeng left Loulan Kingdom, and Zhou Qing took four people to other countries in the Western Regions, which were two hundred miles away from Loulan.
There is a small country called Xiaowan.
Yang Zi originally had some expectations, but he stood up in the air and scanned the small, low city with a radius of only five or six miles.
Compared with Loulan, it is in the sky and on the ground, let alone compared with Xianyang.
Is that also a vassal state?
Too small!
"Xiaowan State has a population of 1,000 people, about 200 households, and more than 200 soldiers!"
This is the message that Miss Xueji told him just now. It is about the Xiaowan Kingdom. It is true... If he hadn't seen it in person, Yang Zi would never believe that there was such a vassal state in the world.
Just in the Imperial City of Xianyang, there are tens of thousands of people.
And a small country in the Western Region has only a thousand people?
"It should have something to do with the environment here."
"Here in the Western Region... there is no fertile land like the Central Plains. Most of it is desert grassland. The land is barren and has nothing to produce."
"Rivers are rare and there are not many water sources. Both Loulan and Xiaowan rely on water sources and oases for their existence."
"The bigger the water source is and the more watery rivers there are, the more powerful they are. The water source and oasis occupied by Xiaowan are too small."
Xueer continued.
The reason for this was analyzed when I traveled to the Western Regions. The fundamental reason was the environment and weather here.
In addition, there are differences in race.
There are dozens of small countries here, and they are all very different from each other in terms of skin color and elegance, so it is even more difficult to integrate with them.
Just like the Xia, the Qin Dynasty ruled over the Xia. If they wanted to have long-term peace and stability, the first thing to do was to regulate the customs!
"If we go in this direction, we will reach the country of Jingjue!"
"The river that Jingjue Kingdom relies on is called Niya. There are also underground rivers, which are not small. Even in the Western Region, they are classified as middle or upper level."
"The country of Jingjue is the city of Jingjue, with a population of 5,000, more than 600 households, and more than 800 soldiers."
"Queen Jingjue rules!"
Yan Ling had a map of the countries in the Western Region in his mind. Although it was not very detailed, it was... enough for his use. He looked at the direction in which Young Master Yu Feng was heading.
That is to say, the next small country in the Western Region - Jingjue Country.
"Queen of Essence?"
"Uncle, why are the countries in the Western Regions queens and not kings?"
Xiao Yangzi nodded, since it was considered to be above average among the countries in the Western Region, the country's power should not be weak, and it should even be much more prosperous.
But...then another problem appeared.
Queen Loulan!
The exquisite queen!
…
Why are they all queens?
What about the men?
However, in the Xia kingdoms, there is no queen at all. All men are kings, kings, emperors, and majesties. In comparison, it is very strange.
"That's a good question."
"In fact, it's not difficult to understand."
"Although the countries in the Western Regions are said to be small countries, in fact many small countries are very barbaric, such as Xiaowan just now, which is a common example."
"Loulan has been developed over hundreds of years, incorporating many other aspects of elegance."
"When a region is in the wilderness, women who have the ability to live and reproduce will naturally take charge."
"This was also the case when the Xia were not unified in ancient times, because the first priority for tribes in the barbaric years was survival and reproduction, and women undoubtedly had a great advantage."
"Later, things changed a lot. When the group became large enough, other ideas came into being, and men with powerful power took advantage. This has been the case for thousands of years."
"The smaller the country, the more likely this situation will occur. For example, if Loulan Country continues to exist, there will definitely be changes in the country."
Zhou Qing smiled and then said simply.
It is not difficult to understand this problem.
"Sir, this seems to be true."
"In the barbaric days, it was difficult for tribes to survive. If they could not reproduce offspring, then the tribe would not survive."
"In this case, women must have more power."
Xue'er suddenly realized that she didn't think much about this issue before. She just thought it might be a characteristic of a small country in the Western Region. Now she listens to the young master's words.
I never thought there was such a truth.
Not difficult to understand.
Sure enough, as the ethnic group becomes larger and there is no longer the crisis of reproducing heirs, there will naturally be a power struggle. In this regard, men have the advantage.
"In the land of Baiyue, the leaders of many tribes are women!"
Yan Lingji also had a clear understanding at this moment.
I was born in Baiyue.
The elegance of Baiyue is very different from that of Zhuxia. One aspect is that there are many queens in Baiyue. In many tribes, the people who call the shots are women.
At first, I didn't understand it either. I just thought that maybe those women were powerful enough.
Now..., it's not just that.
"Everything in the world is impermanent, and the yin and yang rotate."
"Hundreds of years or thousands of years from now, it may look completely different."
Xiaomeng doesn't think there is anything wrong. Many things are constantly changing. That is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is always changing.
But the way of heaven remains unchanged.
What doesn't change are the rules.
What has changed is the myriad mysteries under the rules. No matter how you change, you cannot escape the principle of yin and yang of the universe, which is the great road.
"Hahaha, not bad!"
Zhou Qing looked at Xiaomeng with admiration.
Over the years, there has indeed been some evolution, and the tendency of women to raise their heads has become stronger. This is also an expression of the truth. As for whether it is good or bad, only you can tell the difference.
"This is Jingjue Country!"
"From a city perspective, it's almost the same as Loulan Kingdom."
As he spoke, another large city appeared in front of him.
Excellent country!
This is Jingjue City.
Xue'er's spiritual sense spreads, sensing everything in the city. Although the city is about the same size as Loulan,... the prosperity inside is inferior to one level.
Business and travel are not prosperous for Loulan.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Zhou Qing's purple eyes flashed, and with one step, five people appeared in Jingjue City.
Judging from the surrounding environment, Jingjue City is much harsher than Loulan, and the grasslands are not as lush. As expected, if it continues, the desert will become more obvious in the past.
The buildings and streets in the city are also much rougher, and the spirit of some people in the city is not as strong as Loulan.
"There are many people in the city who have very strong spiritual senses, and one of them has vaguely become a god."
"In which direction is Jingjue Palace?"
"Queen of Essence?"
The calmness of Xiaomeng spread, and her silver eyes moved slightly, looking in one direction. However, if the aura of the city within a radius of seven or eight miles was slightly stronger, it could be sensed.
It is even more obvious that the power of spiritual awareness stirs up the vitality of heaven and earth.
"This place is much better than Xiaowan Country."
Although this place is a little worse than Loulan, but... it is much better than Xiaowan. Yang Zi walked in the city and looked at it curiously.
"Xue'er has read records from the Central Academy's books. During the ancient Xia tribes, people worshiped Haotian and all things, so that they could practice cultivation and strengthen their spiritual awareness."
"The most exquisite among them is the Kuui family, the Xiong family, and the Jiuli family are much inferior."
"The priests of Loulan Kingdom are good at this, and there are also many people in Jingjue who are good at this!"
Most of the countries in the Western Region are wild and wild, and are good at spiritual cultivation, but...the inheritance is not obvious, and it is difficult to achieve the great path.
Xueer also looked in the direction Xiaomeng was looking at, and felt it herself.
"Sir, speaking of it, the top strength of Jingjue Country is much higher than that of Loulan."
Yan Ling Ji Tian's magic field spreads and isolates them from external interference. In the eyes of the citizens of Jingjue Kingdom, there is nothing special about the five of them.
Feeling that direction carefully, I was a little surprised.
It's not that I'm surprised that those people are so powerful that they can't even transform into gods and can be destroyed with a flip of their hands, but they are compared with Lou Lan.
In terms of top strength, it still surpasses Loulan Kingdom by a lot.
"Jing Jue Country!"
"According to the information collected by the Chamber of Commerce, the sacrifices here are related to giant eyes, which are huge eyes."
"The sacrifices are really strange."
"There are also rumors about Queen Jingjue. It is said that if someone offends Queen Jingjue, that person will disappear as long as Queen Jingjue looks at him."
"This...this method is somewhat interesting."
Xueer said again.
Especially that rumor, I find it very interesting.
Because with just one look, the person disappears. You can't do it yourself. Master, if you understand the vacuum, you can do whatever you want, big or small!
Is Queen Jingjue as powerful as the young master?
Absolutely impossible!
"Jing Jue Country!"
"Everything is strange, there must be a reason!"
"Now that we're here, let's see what the reason is."
Zhou Qing muttered, and the memories of the Jingjue Kingdom rolled through his mind. It seemed that the Queen Jingjue that had been spread over the years also had such abilities.
One look at a person and that person disappears.
This kind of method can be done by oneself who understands the vacuum, but do you want a Hedao level to appear among the countries in the Western Region?
They don't have that potential yet!
"You look at someone and that person disappears?"
"Queen Jingjue is so powerful?"
Xiao Yangzi was a little shocked. Sure enough, after just one look at the person, the person disappeared. This method... was too powerful and he couldn't do it himself.
Looking at his uncle and listening to his words, he couldn't help but be curious.
I want to know what the secret is.
To compare Queen Jingjue with her uncle!
He is definitely not comparable to his uncle, but there must be something strange about such rumors.
"Go and take a look first, there will be plenty of time next!"
Zhou Qing actually had some guesses about Queen Jingjue's methods. He glanced at Yan Lingji, raised his hand, stepped out, and appeared in front of the gate of the Jingjue Palace.
Judging from the standard of the palace, Jingjue Kingdom is not as grand as Loulan.
The entire palace was built with polished stones, somewhat like the outer edge of the ancient tribal meeting hall. In front of the palace, there was a huge square.
Looking from the high platform in the center of the square, you can clearly see a giant eye carved from a huge stone on the top of the palace, which is the sacrifice of Jingjue Kingdom.
In line with everything in the long river of time.
The difference is...in the course of time, Jingjue Kingdom has been buried under the yellow sand, but now...it is still in a state of prosperity.
Under normal circumstances, later... the Jingjue Congress was destroyed by Loulan!
"This is the royal palace of Jingjue Kingdom?"
"So crude!"
Yangzi shook his head again.
A queen lives here?
It seems that even my mother's Zhaodeok Palace is not as prosperous. Of course, it is very big, several inches above the ground, and I slowly enter the palace.
Although there are many obstacles, but... everything seems to be ignored.
Thick stone pillars support the entire palace hall, offering sacrifices to superiors and inferiors, clearly displayed, and there are soldiers patrolling inside.
There was a man and a woman dressed in clothes that were obviously unfamiliar to each other, and they were talking in unintelligible words.
"Look what they know!"
The magical powers were operating, and the spiritual sense enveloped the men and women who passed by and were obviously of good status. They looked through their memories, trying to know the secrets of the Jingjue Kingdom.
"Sir, they are just ordinary sacrifices."
"The reason why I have practiced to this point is that, in addition to simple practice, I take a pill issued by Queen Jingjue and the high priest once a month."
"After taking it, I can practice quickly."
Yan Lingji used her magic field to learn the identities of those people and many secrets.
Pill?
Does Jingjue Country still have this kind of elixir?
Once a month!
What kind of elixir does Queen Jingjue master, and even the method of refining it?
Um?
Treasures from heaven and earth!
"Is there any treasure here?"
Xueer also reacted directly and quickly looked at the young master happily.
Only heavenly materials and earthly treasures have this ability!
Only the treasures of heaven, materials and earth can make the Jingjue Kingdom, which is not as prosperous as Loulan, but have the top power to surpass the Jingjue Kingdom. This is the only possibility.
Maybe, the rumored strangeness of Queen Jingjue is also related to that kind of heavenly and earthly treasure!
"Treasures from heaven and earth?"
"Although there are heavenly materials and earthly treasures, there are not even those at the level of gods here. They are just like the heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
Xiaomeng's calm expression also moved slightly.
However, he then shook his head and realized that there were indeed treasures of the same level as the thousand-year-old snow lotus. Even if the people here had a simple cultivation method, they could at least reach half a step to the entrance.
And if you feel the aura here, the strongest person is only a half-step god. Even if you have heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the quality will not be too high.
"Treasures from heaven and earth?"
Xiaoyangzi immediately expressed his expectation.
I know about the treasures of heaven, materials and earth. There are also so-called treasures of heaven, materials and earth in Xianyang Palace. I have seen them before, but the feeling is different from now.
"uncertain!"
Zhou Qing smiled mysteriously.
"Wait a moment until I can figure out the secret."
The magical power was running, and the spiritual sense directly enveloped the entire Jingjue Palace, finding the existence of those half-step gods, and directly reading their memories.
Very fast.
After taking more than a hundred breaths, Zhou Qing regained his strength.
"Uncle, how is it?"
Xiao Yangzi was the first to ask.
Xue'er and the other three also looked over with bright eyes.
"If it goes as I expected, then... Yan Ling, maybe within a year, you will be able to realize the unity of the void and cultivate the heavenly magic field to perfection."
"Let's go down there!"
Zhou Qing pinched the seal with both hands, and the power of vacuum circulated, covering the five people. Following the many memory imprints he had obtained, with a little finger, the ground of the palace hall became void.
Five people fell directly.
"I?"
"Wonderful realization of the unity of space and space within one year!"
"The Heavenly Magic Field is completed!"
"really?"
Yan Lingji's charming face was suddenly surprised and overjoyed. She looked at the young master and whispered again, if she heard correctly, that's what the young master meant.
That being the case, then... is there an opportunity of my own here?
Wall penetration?
Grasp the vacuum, control the void, be as big or small as you want, and do whatever you want.
The realm of harmony!
Not just talk!
Sure enough, Cang Chu's Jade Planting Technique can be cultivated to the point where the void becomes one, all things fluctuate as one, and she can feel the fluctuations of all things all the time, and she can also have this ability.
"uncle!"
"This is your level of cultivation!"
After all these methods fell into Yang Zi's eyes, the little girl felt that her uncle's methods were becoming more and more mysterious, and they were more and more similar to the "Five Tribulations of Heaven and Man" that her uncle had taught her in the early years.
There were obviously stone slabs on the ground blocking them, but they fell straight down, as if the floor didn't exist?
The floor doesn't exist?
It clearly exists!
"Practice well and you will be able to do it in the future."
Zhou Qing patted the little girl's head, passed through the palace hall, and went straight into the earth. Only three to five feet away, there was a brand new world in front of him.
