The Kingdom of Swallows is named after its country resembles a flying swallow bird.
After Gongliang learned that he had taken over as the governor of Yanzi Kingdom, he went to the library to check information about Yanzi Kingdom and found out that there was an interesting legend about Yanzi Kingdom.
It is said that the founder of the country was originally a prince of a great kingdom, who was born intelligent, kind and friendly. One day, a swallow bird suddenly came to throw at him under the eaves of the palace where he lived. The attendant wanted to chase it away, but the prince said: "Let it go!" Since then,
The swallows built their nests and stayed in the palace.
I thought it was just a small swallow's nest, but it turned out to be bigger and bigger, with more and more swallows gathering together, reaching hundreds.
The attendants wanted to break up the nest and drive away, but the prince saw it and said: "Forget it, keep it!"
As a result, the swallow's nest remained, and no one tried to destroy it. Every day, there were people who cleaned the nests left by the swallows.
Unexpectedly, when there were many swallows, they gradually became dissatisfied with one nest and began to build nests under another eaves of the palace. The palace servants who were cleaning the palace saw it and quickly asked the prince for instructions. The prince said: "Swallows are lucky birds, and those who have more are more blessed."
, keep it!”
The new bird's nest therefore remained.
After the prince's words, the swallows built new nests again, and the palace people did not ask for instructions anymore, so that the eaves of the palace were filled with swallow's nests.
The kings in the country laughed at this and called him "Yan Chi."
Later, the old king abdicated and the new king ascended the throne. He was jealous of his intelligence and virtuous, and wanted to kill him.
The palace people reported that the prince fled overnight, but was still overtaken by the cavalry sent by the new king. At this moment, a flock of swallows flew from the sky, picked up the prince and the palace people who fled with him, and flew out of the country to where they are now.
The place where the Yanzi Kingdom is located.
The prince and his attendants built a city and a country here. Feeling grateful for the life-saving grace of Yanniao, they respectfully called Yanniao "Holy Yan" and built a Holy Yan Temple for the people of the country to worship.
Historically, when the king of the Yanzi Kingdom came to the throne, the first thing he did was not go to the ancestral hall to worship. Instead, he first paid homage to the Holy Yan to thank the gods for his kindness, and then went to worship his ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth.
Perhaps it is because there is no danger of war, no worries about food and clothing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment without fighting against the world. The people of Yanzi country live long lives, with an average life span of three hundred. They can walk as fast as flying and can travel thousands of miles a day.
In addition to long life and fast walking, Yanzi Kingdom also has two precious products.
One of them is Yanzhan.
Yanzhan is a nest built by the saliva of a different species of swiftlet. It has the power to nourish the soul, remove dryness and purify the heart. Therefore, it has always been the main medicine for refining Qingxin Dan, Xiaoshen Dan and other elixirs. And this main medicine has always been mastered.
In the hands of Miaodao Immortal Sect, this is the reason why the little Yanzi Kingdom is guarded by disciples of Miaodao Immortal Sect.
Swiftlets can build nests three times a year.
For the first time, due to recuperation in the long winter, the swiftlet's body has stored enough energy, so the nest built by its saliva is thick, white like jade, and shaped like a lamp. It is the top grade among the swallow lamps. Because the lamp is like jade, it is
So it was named "Yuzhan".
If the jade lamp is taken away, the swiftlets will build nests again.
Since the first nesting time was relatively recent, the body of the swiftlet has not yet recovered, so the nest it built was thin and hairy, hence the name "Mao Zhan", and its quality was much worse than that of the Yuzhan.
If the feathers are removed, the swiftlets will build nests again due to frequent births.
Due to the tight time limit when it came to giving birth, the swiftlet's body had not yet recovered and lacked energy, so it could only vomit blood and saliva to build a nest. Because it was built with the essence of blood and saliva, the nest built for the third time was also known as
"Xuezhan" is the best among Yanzhan.
Although the blood lamp is good, it seriously damages the essence of the swiftlet. Soon after feeding the young, the mother bird will die.
The people of Yanzi are honest and upright, and they know etiquette. In addition, Yanzi is a sacred bird, so even if they know that the blood cup is valuable, no one is willing to make it artificially.
Even if it is a hairy head, no one wants to do it.
He just let the swiftlets build their own nests, raised them and flew away, then took off the jade lamp for his own use.
In the Kingdom of Swallows, if someone takes off the swallow lamp for the first time and lets the swallow bird build a nest again, that person will be despised by the people of the country; if someone dares to let the swallow bird build a blood lamp nest, not only will the country people despise it, but the government will learn that,
They may even be arrested and sentenced.
Although the laws and regulations are strict, it is the nature to drive for profit, even if the country of Yanzi is simple and simple.
However, no one took advantage of the swallow bird's desire to build a nest and took off the swallow lamp.
Although the swallow lamps were not taken off, some people were creative and built houses for swiftlets to build their nests.
When the Yanzi people showed off their wealth, it was not about how many gold and jade they had in their home, but how many swallow's nests they had. Gold and jade could only be exchanged for common things, but swallow lamps were items needed to practice the sect, and they could not only be exchanged for common things.
You can also exchange for spiritual stones, life-prolonging elixirs, cultivation techniques and other things.
It's just that the nesting conditions for swiftlets are very harsh, so they don't just go to just anyone.
The swallow bird seeks good and avoids evil, prefers yang and hates yin, and is a good place for people to live.
Therefore, after building a swiftlet house, not only must there be people to live in it, but also the owner must be kind-hearted, otherwise there will be no swiftlets to build nests even if the swiftlet house is built.
There was a master of a house in the Kingdom of Swallows who worked in a prison. The prison was dark and strange, and people could not help but become gloomy, so there were no swiftlets building nests in the house. Seeing people selling swallow lamps to make money, the women in the house couldn't help but make noises.
He was distressed and wanted to resign from his position.
When the king heard about it, he specially raised the salary of a group of people.
This man was quite smart. Since the swiftlets at home did not dare to come and invest in him, he used his salary to build a house and invite people to live there until the swiftlets came to nest.
People from Yanzi country cannot live in their own houses after building them, so they often hire others to live in them like him.
In this way, Yanzi Kingdom has spawned an industry, that is, guests - guests who are specially invited to live in Yanzi House.
This guest is not something that just anyone can do. He must have a clean family background, a good family for three generations, and people who are eager for justice and justice. It is best to live in the Yanzi Kingdom for generations, otherwise the golden swallows will not build the house after moving in.
nest.
Another precious product of the Yanzi Kingdom is the fish dragon grass, which is produced in Luolongyuan outside the Yanzi Kingdom.
Luolongyuan turned out to be just a sinister canyon with thick vegetation and rampant monsters. After the war between gods and monsters, the ancient dragon died here, and evil spirits grew, causing the canyon environment to change drastically. It was shrouded in fog all day long, the wind howled, and ghosts were rampant.
.
At first, the ichthyosaur was just an ordinary weed, but after being infected by the evil energy, it gradually developed a supernatural power and began to absorb the essence of the grass and trees to nourish itself.
Fish dragon, fish dragon, means fish transformed into dragon.
When the ichthyosaur absorbs the essence of plants and trees to a certain extent, it will be reborn. From then on, it will break away from the restrictions of plants and trees and transform into a body of flesh and blood.
At this point, the ichthyosaur grass can breathe and breathe like a spirit. Once it grows horns and develops spiritual wisdom, it can practice cultivation like a human being. However, there are very few such ichthyosaur grasses.
After ordinary weeds transform into ichthyosaurs, they are no longer mortal objects, but spiritual plants.
Because of its magical power and the large amount of plant essence it contains, it has always been the main medicine for refining the realm-breaking pill. The realm-breaking pill is a pill taken by practitioners who have reached a certain level and are unable to break through the realm on their own. It is extremely important. Therefore,
The elders of the Miaodao Immortal Sect guard the Luolong Abyss all year round to prevent evil spirits from destroying and poaching the fish dragon grass. Of course, they also suppress all kinds of evil things in the Luolong Abyss to prevent them from leaving this place and harming the common people.
Gongliang took Mi Gu with him by boat to the country of Yanzi, and released the chickens and the black mammoth Dorje to let them move around on their own, while he and Migu walked to the country of Yanzi.
The Yanzi Kingdom is said to be a country, but in fact it is not that big and its population is not large.
The capital city of Yanzi Kingdom is named Yancheng, which means the place where the swallow bird lives. There are armored soldiers guarding the city gate, but no one checks it.
Gong Liang walked inside with Mi Gu. The strange appearance of the little guy attracted the attention of all the armored soldiers, but they were just looking at it, and no one dared to do anything unusual.
Because people with strange looks often have strange abilities, and if they are accidentally provoked, they may be immediately destroyed. These people have been guarding the city for a long time, and their eyes have been trained, and they know what they can do and who they cannot mess with.
