Beyond the boundary of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, plains and lakes gradually increased, forming a rich and colorful landform.

In "Kyushu Geography", southern Xinjiang can be roughly divided into two major regions, namely "Hundred Thousand Mountains" and "Jiyuan". The two names represent the two great forces dominating southern Xinjiang.

Wan Yao Country and Gu Clan. .

"Why is there no food in southern Xinjiang mentioned in "Kyushu Geography"?"

Mu Nanzhi sat cross-legged on a rock by the stream, holding a blue book, reading it intently.

Miao Youfang and Guardian Hongying were in charge of cooking the food, while Bai Ji was lying on the side waiting for the food.

"Then you have to ask Confucian saints."

Xu Qi'an sat down beside her and said with a smile, "Maybe Confucian sages don't like food."

"Geography of Kyushu" was written by a Confucian sage who traveled all over Kyushu for three years. It records the mountains and rivers, the distribution of rivers, and the characteristics of folk customs in Kyushu in a relatively simple way.

The later "Dafeng Geography" was written by Confucian descendants imitating Confucian saints.

Mu Nanzhi believed it was true, and said:

"However, the mountains, rivers and landforms, as well as the scattered tribes, are recorded in great detail."

She looked at it, and suddenly the corner of her mouth twitched:

"What kind of barbarians are these?"

There are countless tribes in southern Xinjiang, ranging from hundreds to thousands of people, scattered all over southern Xinjiang like stars filling the sky.

Their customs are very strange, in Mu Nanzhi's view, they are simply uncivilized barbarians.

Xu Qi'an took the "Geography of Kyushu" and looked at it intently. It was written that there was a tribe three hundred and twenty miles west of southern Xinjiang called "God of Dogs". This tribe had a custom. Canine" monsters get married and become companions.

From then on, they lived together, hunted together, and depended on each other for life and death.

Xu Qi'an looked further down and found that this kind of monster called "horned dog" was characterized by herd life, human nature, fierceness and aggressiveness.

They live in the surrounding area of ​​the "Inugami" tribe.

"It's nature's choice."

Xu Qi'an stood up, holding the scroll in one hand and carrying the other on his back, posing as a teacher, and gave Mu Nanzhi a popular science:

"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 nomadism in the north are determined by the environment."

Mu Nanzhi listened with a half-knowledge, half-understood, frowned and said:

"Then, the marriage between them and the horned dog is also caused by the environment?"

"It's 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 a partnership to live together."

"Then how do they reproduce?"

Mu Nanzhi blinked her eyes, pretending to have an innocent and ignorant expression.

Unknowingly, the topic took on a bit of color. Xu Qi'an chuckled, "I knew you were most curious about this."

Mu Nanzhi broke his skills in an instant, blushed and "spit", unable to pretend anymore.

"I think this is more like a more respectful taming. The horned dog is human and has a high level of intelligence. It is not comparable to ordinary dogs, so it cannot be tamed. After contacting our Central Plains, the Inugami tribe found that "marrying" is a It was quite a grand ceremony, so I imitated this ceremony to show respect for the horned dog. And the horned dog also accepted this ceremony."

Xu Qi'an gave his own judgment, the marriage here may be different from the marriage understood by the Central Plains humans.

"Then you go forward three pages."

Mu Nanzhi said.

Xu Qi'an turned three pages forward according to his words, and it recorded a tribe called "Pan". The chief of this tribe has the right to take away the first night of a newlywed woman when a young man and woman get married.

"It's not determined by the environment." She pinched her waist.

Xu Qi'an rubbed his chin, and asked back: "Do you know the power structure of lions?"

Mu Nanzhi shook her head.

"A male dominates a group of females. When the male lion first ruled the group, he would kill all the cubs of his predecessor. This first night, it's actually the same reason." Xu Qi'an plausibly said:

"You think, if one of these brides gives birth to the patriarch's heir, then his bloodline will continue. This has little to do with the environment, but it has to do with the instinct of living things to reproduce. instinct."

These words of his are not nonsense, the customs of living beings are related to the environment and instinct, or how to say that one side supports the other side.

The most essential truth of biological evolution is contained in the plain sayings.

Mu Nanzhi thought for a while, reluctantly accepted, and then said:

"You turn back eight pages."

Xu Qi'an turned back another eight pages. It was recorded in the tribe that the custom was that the son had to challenge his father when he reached the age of eighteen. If you lose, you will be kicked out of the house. If you win, you will inherit everything from your father, including his daughter, and his younger siblings.

I can't make it up anymore, I have never been in contact with those tribes, how do I know the origin of their customs? Xu Qi'an complained wildly in his heart.

"Wait, why are the tribes you remember so strange?"

Xu Qi'an looked at her suspiciously.

Mu Nanzhi felt that she was turned against the general, her mouth murmured for a while, and she turned her face guiltily, pretending to look at the scenery elsewhere:

"Yeah, it's just because it's weird, so it's impressive."

No, you remind me of a sentence I heard in my previous life, "Goddess also like to watch love education films." Xu Qi'an slandered, put "Kyushu Geography" aside, and then took out the fragments of the book.

【Three: Lina, are you and Lingyin still on the boat? When can I go to Qingzhou? 】

He rode the Hongying Dharma Guardian, and within five days, he was able to reach the Gu clan. Considering that the Gu clan was also a barbarian, they would definitely not be hospitable. Bringing a local person there would help reduce conflicts.

[Five: I am in Yuzhou, I was in Yuzhou yesterday. 】

Lina replied.

So fast? Xu Qi'an was taken aback: [Three: Who brought it to Yuzhou. 】

It is impossible for water transport to be so fast, and Lina is a force Gu clan that is more vulgar than a martial artist, so it is impossible to control Yujian's flight.

[5: We met the teacher of Brother Erlang on the boat, and we went to Qingzhou with them. The day before yesterday, Brother Erlang drove Lingyin and me out of Qingzhou. 】

Did the two of you grab his food and eat it? Xu Qi'an sent a letter to reply:

[Do you know the way? 】

[Five: Xu Ningyan, you underestimate me, Erlang explained a formula: go up north, down south, left west, right east, and charge hard toward the south. 】

Hey guys, it also rhymes! Xu Qi'an saw Li Miaozhen jumping out to pass the letter:

[Two: If you get lost, just ask passers-by. Yuzhou goes south to southern Xinjiang. When you came to the capital, you have been to Yuzhou. 】

[Five: Probably not. 】

Lina said.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society questioned for a while.

【Three: How long will it take you to get from Yuzhou to Nanjiang? 】

【Five: If you don't get lost, if you don't get cheated, you can get there by running for seven days and seven nights with the bell on your back. 】

Phew. Xu Qi'an exhaled helplessly, and passed on the letter:

[Don't bother with strangers, come to me whenever you have trouble, how is my ringtone? 】

[Five: I can eat, sleep and drink, no problem. 】

Well, Daoist Jin Lian said before that Lingyin's life is very hard. Xu Qi'an was about to put away the fragments of the book when he suddenly saw Li Lingsu passing the book:

[Everyone, how do you command a team of 300 people? 】

Xu Qi'an knew something was wrong at a glance, and asked in a letter: [What did you do. 】

The members of the Tiandihui silently waited for Li Lingsu's reply.

[Seven: Didn't do anything, just don't allow them to rob the poor, don't allow them to rape women, don't allow them to rob caravans, all evil things are not allowed. I also don't allow them to leave the village and distribute rice to them regularly. 】

After Li Lingsu gathered the refugees, he settled down in a deserted village.

【Seven: They were fine at first, but within a few days, they wanted to assassinate me. 】

[Two: You idiot, you are imprisoning them. How do you usually manage these people. 】

[Seven: No management]

[Two: Idiots, you have to train them, neither manage nor imprison their freedom, don't assassinate who you assassinate. That's all, later you send me a message alone, and I will teach you how to manage the team. 】

After Tianzong's crouching dragon and young phoenix 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. One more thing, according to a group of refugees who escaped from Jiangzhou under my command, there are also people from the rivers and lakes gathering refugees and robbing merchants and gentry. 】

[Two: Didn't the emperor's son not adopt Xu Ningyan's suggestion? Is it a coincidence? 】

[Four: Your Highness, what do you think? 】

Chu Yuanzhen directly confronted Huaiqing.

[One: I sent someone to do it. 】

Huaiqing generously admitted.

[One: Ning Yan's strategy is very effective. I have appointed twenty confidantes to gather the refugees and plunder the gentry and wealthy households. Every day, the imperial court received memorials of bandits raging and causing chaos, but according to the secret reports I received, the various places became much more stable. 】

This stability is only compared to the previous ones. With the efforts of the people she sent and the members of the Tiandihui, it is impossible to suppress the entire Central Plains refugees.

But I have to say that the effect of Xu Ningyan's strategy is immediate.

Loot the country gentry and merchants to support refugees, rob one household to support hundreds, and the local area will quickly stabilize.

The price is that this will shake the ruling class of each county.

If the leader of the bandits is a reckless hero, then the ruling power of the Dafeng court will be in jeopardy.

But when the bandit leader is one of his own people, only the middle and low-level ruling class, such as the gentry and noble family, are sacrificed.

Huaiqing continued to pass on the book:

[Chu Yuanzhen, if your team is initially disciplined, then stock up on food and prepare to head west. The same goes for you, especially Li Miaozhen, I know that your strength is leading troops in battle.

[It's best to go west now, gather refugees along the way, and form a team. 】

[Two: Why, why should I listen to you. 】

Without further ado, the Feiyan heroine raised the bar first.

Chu Yuanzhen sent a letter saying: [I understand what your Highness means, now that Qingzhou is on fire, how can there be no movement from Buddhist sects who support Yunzhou against the party? Sooner or later, troops will be dispatched to Leizhou. 】

Huaiqing continued: [At that time, the imperial court will fight on two fronts, coupled with internal worries, it will only be forced to shrink the front line, and the Yunzhou and Buddhist allied forces will push the front line all the way to the capital. 】

Li Miaozhen suddenly realized and was taken aback.

She is very capable of leading troops, but she has a poor view of the overall situation. She always thinks that Qingzhou is the top priority of this war, and ignores Buddhism.

[Six: At that time, I don’t know how many innocent people will die in the flames of war. 】

Master Hengyuan had no choice but to pass on the book.

Xu Qi'an said in a biography: [Buddhism will not send a large army to the east, at most it will be a small-scale harassment. 】

[One: How do you see it? 】

Huaiqing sent a letter to question.

[Three: I did a trivial thing in southern Xinjiang. I fought with the second-rank Arhat Asuro, untied the seal of Shenshu, and reached an alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. In recent days, the Ten Thousand Demon Council has attacked ten The Buddhist forces in Wanda Mountain regained the old land. Wait for the news. 】

There was a moment of silence inside the Tiandihui, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little weird.

[Seven: You fought with the second-rank Arhat, and you managed to break that special seal? 】

Is this trivial? Li Lingsu's mentality has collapsed. Isn't Xu Qi'an being sealed? When will he grow up to be able to fight against the second-rank Arhat?

Last time in Jianzhou, he almost died in the hands of a second-rank rain master. Compared with second-rank rain masters, his strength is far behind.

[One: Is this true? Are you really allied with Wan Yao Nation? Wan Yao Kingdom wants to go to war with Buddhism and regain the territory of the old country? 】

Huaiqing asked three questions in a row. For the cold and dignified eldest princess, this is enough to show how much the mood fluctuates at the moment.

This guy Xu Ningyan has never disappointed anyone! Li Miao really felt emotional.

[Four: Wonderful, so I can safely go south to support Qingzhou. It is the best choice at the moment to use Wan Yao Nation to contain Buddhism. There are many people who can think of this method, but the only one who can really connect with Wan Yao Nation is you, Xu Ningyan. 】

[Six: Amitabha, Lord Xu has saved countless lives this time. 】

After finishing the group chat, Xu Qi'an put away the fragments of the book, and found that Mu Nanzhi had taken off her embroidered shoes, and a pair of exquisite white and tender feet were soaking in the stream, splashing happily.

These feet are only slightly bigger than Xu Qi'an's palm.

The skin is thin and tender, without calluses, fine and smooth, the toes are round, and the soles of the feet are pink. This is not a foot, but the most perfect work of art in the hands of the master.

The charm of Huashen is that she is perfect, her temperament, appearance and figure are all top-notch. Speaking of it, it's time for the national teacher to come to me for double cultivation. Why haven't I contacted you for a long time? Unfortunately, the Internet may be disconnected, and she can't find it. I

Xu Qi'an shuddered and reacted abruptly.

In the capital, Si Tianjian.

Luo Yuheng controlled the golden light and landed on the gossip platform.

The prisoner was sitting in front of the desk with his eyes closed, like a sculpture.

Luo Yuheng glanced at it, and found that it was just a body, and the soul was no longer there.

She went downstairs along the steps, 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-clothed warlocks were busy, complaining:

"There's another war, damn it!"

"Yes, yes, we have begun to refine magic weapons in batches again. Such magic weapons have no soul. This is an insult to us alchemists."

"Only the esoteric knowledge of bioalchemy is the pursuit of my generation."

"Senior Brother Song, why don't you lead us away from Si Tianjian and establish our own sect. Let's create a sect of alchemists together."

Song Qing scolded: "Do you want to be thrown into the stove as firewood by Teacher Jianzheng?"

He paused and said, "Unless I replace Teacher Jianzheng in the future."

Luo Yuheng entered the alchemy room with a calm and pleasant voice:

"Is there no one in the Sitianjian?"

Seeing Luo Yuheng, Song Qing froze for a moment, thinking who are you and when did you show up.

Luo Yuheng frowned slightly: "Luo Yuheng."

"Ah, Master National Teacher" Song Qing suddenly realized.

Looking at the man with dark circles in front of him, Luo Yuheng almost suspected that the other party was trying to get him. Among the disciples in the prison, was there anyone who didn't know her?

On the contrary, she knew Song Qing and had seen the portrait.

"Where's Xu Qi'an? I can't find him with the sound transmission jade talisman." Luo Yuheng frowned.

"Mr. Xu hasn't been to Si Tianjian for a long time. I have rarely seen him since he entered the rivers and lakes."

Song Qing just passed Luo Yuheng's beautiful face once, and thought that the experiment at hand was not as attractive, so she stopped paying attention, lowered her head and fiddled with the equipment, and said:

"I have no way to contact him, but Senior Brother Sun has a sound-transmitting conch in his hand, which matches the conch in Mr. Xu's hand. If you find Senior Brother Sun, you will be able to find Mr. Xu.

"Well, Senior Brother Sun should be in Qingzhou right now."

After speaking, he looked up and found that the national teacher had disappeared.

"Senior brother Sun, that is the national teacher."

An alchemist next to him was full of amazement: "It's really overwhelming."

Song Qing said angrily: "Don't think about it, that kind of woman is not something you can miss."

The alchemist said displeased:

"Senior Brother Song, you are doubting my devotion to alchemy. I have sworn to dedicate my life to alchemy and never marry. What I want to say is, let's make a female body for Mr. Xu, just like the national teacher."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding alchemists echoed:

"What a great idea. With Mr. Xu's perverted nature, he must be ecstatic, holding her day and night so he can't get out of bed."

"Wonderful, so Mr. Xu can give me the remaining half of the blue book."

"But this will anger the national teacher, right?"

"What are you afraid of? Teacher Jianzheng will carry it for us."

PS: later but arrive! I took a nap in the middle of the night, but I didn't survive, and then the debt repayment chapter, continue to code. By the way, ask for a monthly pass.
