Chapter 630: Bloodline Continuation
Of course, Nanfeng knew that Jiang Qi was deliberately choking him, but he didn't care, and asked, "It's so cold here, where is the grass?"
"Under the ice. Jiang Qi said.
Nanfeng didn't ask again, the city where the Xuan people live is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is built on the ice, and the inner city is below the ice, the ice can transmit light, and the temperature under the ice will not be very low, there is water, light, and soil, you can grow crops.
Walking slowly, it was close to noon, and before he arrived at the city of the Xuan clan, Yuan Anning took out dry food and gave Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi thanked him, but he didn't eat it, looked at it, sniffed it, and put it in the inner pocket of his cloak.
The Far North Ice Land mentioned in Middle Earth is called Northern Xinjiang in the Xuan people, and Middle Earth is called Southern Xinjiang by them, it can be seen that Jiang Qi is still very curious about the situation in Southern Xinjiang, and occasionally asks, but she seems to have any scruples, and she doesn't dare to speak up, because she is afraid that Jiang Hong and others in front of her will hear it.
Whenever Jiang Qi asked, Yuan Anning would answer patiently, and then he would ask some questions, including Jiang Qi's own situation.
Although Jiang Qi is very tall, he is not very old, but eighteen, the reason why she is called Jiang Qi is because she is Jiang Hong's seventh daughter, and there are ten brothers and six sisters above her, and there are a group of younger brothers and sisters under her, and there are thirty or forty brothers and sisters together.
Hearing Jiang Qi say this, Nanfeng's first reaction was 'Your mother can really give birth', and then he thought about it, no, Jiang Hong is the king of the Xuan clan, and he should have many wives and concubines, and these children are likely to be half-siblings.
Sure enough, through Yuan Anning's subsequent questioning, Jiang Qi's answer also confirmed this, Jiang Hong had more than a dozen wives.
The most popular words for people who step on two boats are probably that there are people who step on many boats, and if you compare them, it is not so bad to step on two boats. However, Jiang Qi's subsequent words made him frown again, because some women in the Xuan clan had several husbands.
Yuan Anning was not interested in these questions, but she knew that Nanfeng was curious, so she asked tactfully, Jiang Qi poured out the reason, the reason why polygamy and polyandry appeared in the Xuan clan was due to the consideration of blood inheritance.
Not everyone in the Xuan clan can change the beast body, only one of the ten people can change the beast body, and the group of people who can't transform the beast body can only have one child, and the small number of people who can change the beast body can be born at will, and it's not okay to have fewer children.
In addition, these two types of people cannot intermarry with each other, and if they want to intermarry, they must make a great contribution to the Xuan people.
The reason why such a rule is set is because the children born to two people who can change the body of the beast may not necessarily be able to transform, and they may also be ordinary people, but if both parents can transform, their offspring will have a greater chance of inheriting the holy snake bloodline on their parents.
As for those whose parents only have one of them who can change into the beast's body, the possibility of their offspring having the blood of the holy snake is much smaller, so it must be restricted.
Those parents are ordinary people, and their offspring may also have the blood of the Holy Serpent, but it is even less likely, so they can only be allowed to have one child.
The reason why they can't be born casually is because of the lack of food, the northern frontier is not suitable for farming, and hunting is not easy, and those who can change the body of the beast can bring back more food for the tribe.
Polygamy or polyandry is produced in this case, there is not much room for choice, and it is necessary to avoid the intermarriage of three generations of blood relatives when marrying, so people with the blood of the holy snake, regardless of men and women, have little room for choice, like Jiang Qi's situation, there are more than 30 people for her to choose, and this is still the treatment that only royal women have.
The climate in northern Xinjiang is changeable, and there was heavy snowfall on the way back, but there was no heavy snow in the area where everyone was located, and this strange situation was undoubtedly caused by the control of the south wind.
Jiang Hong and the others also guessed that this was Nanfeng's doing, and everyone was originally just afraid of him, but at this time it had quietly turned into awe, just because Nanfeng was even more powerful than they knew, almost a god-like existence.
"How long will it take to get to the nobles?" asked Yuan Anning.
"It's going to take half an hour. Jiang Qi said.
According to Jiang Qi, the situation of the Celestial Clan is roughly similar to that of the Xuan Clan, and the people with the blood of the Divine Tortoise are all nobles of the Celestial Clan, and the proportion of the Celestial Clan's people is less than one.
Jiang Qiyan couldn't say anything, and Nanfeng interjected, "As you said earlier, the ancestors of your two clans were all warriors selected and sent here by Jiang Li and the Yellow Emperor, and these warriors are all men?"
"The Xuan clan is all men, and the Celestial clan is ......" Jiang Qiyan didn't react until halfway through, frowning and looking at the south wind.
Nanfeng tilted his head to the side, pretending to be innocent, he had already got the answer he wanted, the male ancestors of the Xuan clan were ordinary people, and their holy snake bloodline came from the maternal line, and the situation of the Celestial Clan was the opposite of them, the female ancestors of the Celestial Clan were ordinary people, and their divine turtle bloodline came from the paternal line, to put it bluntly, the Xuan people were the mixed-race descendants of the marriage of men and females, and the Celestials were the mixed-race descendants of the marriage of women and males.
Chi You and the Yellow Emperor selected warriors to come to the northern frontier, there must be hidden secrets that no one knows, but these things belong to the secrets of the Xuan clan and the heavenly clan, ask directly, they will definitely not say it, fortunately, it is not troublesome to explore, and you will soon know the reason when you go to the city.
Because Nanfeng's question was a taboo, Jiang Qi and Yuan Anning talked less for a period of time, and Yuan Anning wanted to ask where the Qi cultivation methods of the Xuan Clan and the Heavenly Clan came from, but Jiang Qi did not answer positively.
In fact, Nanfeng still has a few questions, that is, for so many years, whether the Xuan clan and the Tian clan have intermarried and eloped, and whether they have given birth to mixed-race descendants, but these questions are okay from the mouth of the woman in the market, if he asks, I am afraid that it will only attract the eyes of others.
Over a towering mountain, a huge city appeared not far ahead, this city is built on an ice field, in a hollow circle, the buildings on the ice are all made of huge ice blocks, up and down three layers, connected to each other, similar to the city wall of Middle-earth, but wider and higher than the city wall, nearly two zhang wide, up to three zhang, no extra decoration, ancient and thick, each layer has ice windows, it should be inhabited.
In the interior of the annular area, there is a natural ice surface that is dozens of miles wide, and it is not entirely correct to say that it is natural, because these ice surfaces have obviously been polished and smooth as a mirror, but a lot of snow has fallen on it, and someone is sweeping and moving on it.
This architectural pattern of the Xuan people is very similar to the city of Middle-earth, except that the inner city has been moved underground, which is more conducive to providing comprehensive protection for the weak.
About to enter the city, Jiang Qi began to tell the two about the rules and taboos of the Xuan clan, and the so-called rules were only proposed for Nanfeng and Yuan Anning, because no outsiders had been here before.
Don't act recklessly, don't walk around at will, don't talk nonsense, these three are tailored for the south wind, as for the taboo, there is only one, don't enter the altar of the Xuan clan.
Nanfeng naturally won't refute the master's request, but it's another matter whether he does it or not, if he is honest and obedient, he won't be Nanfeng anymore.
After a while, a group of people arrived outside the ice city, the city gate here is not open, but hanging up and down, there are people inside the city wall from the left and right sides of the drag iron cable, the gate is raised, Jiang Hong and others lead the city, the south wind looks at the ice wall wall, and also follows in......
