Chapter 737: Sky Cloud City (I)
After staying in this space for four or five months, Qin Feng can be regarded as the reason for the lack of food here, because in this place, there is very little land that can be cultivated, and most of it is rolling mountains.
Qin Feng and the others walked for three or four hours before they came out of the mountain range that wrapped Tianyun Town in it, and after passing through a large canyon, the horizon in front of them finally appeared in the grassland of a flat river.
"There should be a lot of minerals in this kind of place?"
Qin Feng glanced back at the mountains behind him, and shook his head a little puzzled, generally speaking, in mountainous places, the probability of containing iron ore is the highest, and rare mines such as gold and diamonds are extremely rare.
However, in this space, things seem to be the opposite, the few iron and stone veins are outrageous, but gold mines can be found everywhere, Qin Feng has been walking in the mountains these days, and he has picked up several pieces of high-purity horseshoe gold alone.
"Damn, if this place is discovered by the outside world, I'm afraid the price of gold will plummet, right?"
A strange idea suddenly popped up in Qin Feng's mind, with the amount of gold in this space, if all of it was mined, it was estimated that the gold monetary system that had been used for thousands of years would collapse in an instant.
"Senior, twenty miles further on, it will be Tianyun City."
Qin Shiliang, who was walking in front, saw Qin Feng standing still, hurriedly turned around and walked back, and said, "I let Wu Erbao Feige pass the book, presumably the city is already arranging to receive you, senior......"
Being able to recruit a dark power master for the family is a great credit, Qin Shiliang was naturally overjoyed when he met two of them at once this time, for fear that Qin Feng would not go to Tianyun City.
"Pigeon Biography?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered that the carrier pigeons raised outside today were used for communication and military purposes in ancient times.
The courtyard area where Qin Feng now lives. There are also people who keep carrier pigeons, and every morning and evening you can see them passing through the sky, and the whistle on their feet makes a unique sound.
"The Pigeon Biography is a means of communication within the family......"
Qin Shiliang explained a few words to Qin Feng, and he believed more and more in his heart that Qin Feng came out of the mountains, and he was afraid that Qin Feng's family had been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time. Because the carrier pigeon was introduced from the outside world more than 300 years ago.
"Let's go, I also want to see the wisdom of the ancestors and see how this Tianyun City is ......"
Qin Feng took a deep breath, as the saying goes, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided, some time ago, because of the Qian family, Qin Feng and the others in the town took a detour, and he really hadn't seen this human settlement with a larger space.
"Tianyun City is the second largest city of our Qin Clan. It's also the most complicated place for the surname, but here we still have the final say......"
When Qin Shiliang spoke, there was a hint of arrogance on his face.
At that time, because Tianyun City was not far from Qin, it could be said that it was a place of worship for hundreds of surnames, even if the Qin capital was destroyed later, Tianyun City still maintained its former prosperity and did not decay because of this.
"Jinxuan, are you tired?" Qin Feng glanced back at the little girl who was following the mule. said: "Hold on for a while, we will be in Tianyun City soon......"
Qin Feng and Zhang Xiaotian are both masters of dark cultivation. Zhang Hu and Qin Shiliang are also in the realm of Mingjin, only Zhang Jinxuan's cultivation is worse, and they have rested a few times along the way for the sake of the little girl.
"Master, don't be tired, I'll have Xiao Hei with me." Jinxuan shook her head, a hint of excitement on her face. said: "Master, are there any beautiful clothes in Tianyun City?" ”
Unlike Zhang Hu, who had also been to Qian's town, this was the first time Jinxuan had grown up so big that she had gone out of the mountain, and when she was in the town before, she was wearing linen clothes and coarse cloth. The girls in the town cast envious glances.
"Yes, you can wear whatever you want!" Before Qin Feng could answer, Qin Shiliang smiled and said, "Jinluo silk, Tianyun City has everything, Sister Jinxuan, I will take you to buy ...... when the time comes."
"Brother Xie Lu, Xie Qin......"
Jinxuan smiled sweetly, although the makeup on her face showed that she was in her early twenties, but she was still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl when she spoke.
"These crops are well planted, and they will be harvested in two months......"
After coming out of the mountain, almost all the places in the eye were crop fields, and there was a wooden house every about five hundred meters, and when Qin Feng and the others passed by, people would come out of the wooden house to observe them.
"The crops in this area account for forty percent of our Qin clan's rations."
Qin Shiliang sighed and said, "The mountains are not suitable for farming, and there are many wild beasts, whether the Qin clan can eat enough next year depends on these grains......
"In the past, I am afraid that these problems were not a problem at all, and when the population increases, these contradictions will become prominent."
Qin Feng shook his head when he heard this, according to the history of this space told by Uncle Zhang, the first people who lived here may only be tens of thousands of people close to the Qin family.
But when the four major clans and the people who were brutalized by the Yuan Dynasty came in, the population of this space was almost multiplied geometrically, and by now, millions of people were living here.
Although the fecundity of human beings is not as good as that of some animals, it is also extremely terrifying, and now the human beings on the earth have broken through the six billion mark, and perhaps in a few hundred years, there will be such a shortage of food in the outside space.
As the journey continued, the number of people on the road gradually increased, most of them were in groups of three or five, with fierce expressions, and carrying weapons made of iron and wood.
However, after seeing Qin Shiliang, these people would stand on the side of the road and bow and salute, and only after Qin Feng and the others had passed, would they continue to hurry.
"Qin Shiliang, what are these people doing?" Qin Feng asked with some puzzlement.
"Seniors, they are all hunters of Tianyun City!"
Qin Shiliang opened his mouth and said: "Tianyun City's grain production is limited, and it still needs to be supplied to several other cities, so many people will go into the mountains to hunt and exchange the meat and fur of wild beasts for food......"
The clothes worn by Qin Shiliang were the standard clothing of the Qin Clan's guards, and as the managers of the Qin Clan's towns, those hunters naturally had to be respectful to him.
Not to mention the power in the hands of the people in the guards, even when it comes to cultivation, Qin Shiliang is much higher than them.
Because among these people who live by hunting. Once they break through to Mingjin, they will choose to join the guards, and there are very few hunters who are still doing their old jobs, and there are very few masters of Mingjin.
"Arrived, there is Tianyun City in front of it......" walked for more than two hours, just when the sun was about to set. A city of Noda came into view.
"This ...... Is it Tianyun City? Looking at Tianyun City, which was about five or six hundred meters away from him, Qin Feng was really shocked in his heart.
The whole city is about twenty meters high, standing in front of Qin Feng and the others out of thin air, the huge city wall, giving people a feeling of heaviness, more powerful and majestic than the first pass in the world that Qin Feng has ever seen.
The closer he got to the city wall, the stronger Qin Feng's feeling became, and the city wall was made of huge stone barriers. It presents a kind of vicissitudes and heaviness of history.
"Good...... It's so big......" Looking up at Tianyun City in the distance, Zhang Hu's mouth was like an egg stuffed into it, and he couldn't close it anymore.
"It's not that big."
Qin Shiliang sighed and said, "I heard from the elders that the Qin capital was even taller than it back then, the city gate was thirty meters high, and the inner wall inside the city wall could run five carriages side by side......"
As a radical person in the Qin clan of this generation, like Qin Shiliang. I don't want to restore the glory of the Qin clan in the past, even if the Qin clan was a vassal of the royal family at that time. The status is also much higher than it is now.
"Thirty-meter-high walls?"
Qin Feng was also taken aback when he heard this, this was equivalent to a ten-story building in the outside world, but looking at the city wall about twenty meters high in front of him, presumably what Qin Shiliang said would not be a lie.
"Huh? Is this a stone and brick wall structure? ”
The distance of five or six hundred meters, that is, a few minutes, when you walked under Tianyun City. Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned, because he found that the structure of these city walls was very similar to the Great Wall he had seen.
"Qin Shiliang, when was this Heavenly Cloud City built?" Qin Feng looked back at Qin Shiliang and asked.
"According to the genealogy. It should be during the Qin Dynasty. ”
Qin Shiliang said: "My Qin family was originally the surname Win, after the first emperor ruled the world, he gathered the strength of the whole country to build the Great Wall and the four cities here, more than 2,000 years ago, right?" ”
"What? Qin ...... Qin Shi Huang? This is where Qin Shi Huang built? ”
After hearing Qin Shiliang's words, Qin Feng was really stunned this time, although he had conjectures before, but Qin Shi Huang's surname was Ying instead of Qin, and he didn't think that the Qin family here was really a descendant of Qin Shi Huang.
However, this is not to be believed by Qin Feng, because in ancient times, there was no one else who could have such a big spend, except for the first emperor of the ages.
"It's the First Emperor......" Qin Shiliang frowned and corrected Qin Feng's words, Qin Shi Huang was the ancestor to them, and no one was allowed to blaspheme.
"Okay, it's the First Emperor, but ...... But what's going on? Qin Feng's brain was a little confused, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaotian, he didn't seem to have heard Uncle Zhang mention this matter.
"I don't know the specific origin of the Qin Clan...... Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really didn't know about these things.
Qin Shi Huang has a history of more than 2,000 years from now, and after the collapse of the Qin royal family, very few people in the five major clans talk about these things again.
"Haven't you heard the elders in the family talk about our ancestors?"
Qin Shiliang glanced at Qin Feng with some suspicion, according to the tradition of the Qin family, it is essential to worship the ancestors every year, could it be that Qin Feng is pretending to be a member of the Qin family?
Since the Qin clan's life in the other four major clans is not very satisfactory now, and the Qin clan has its own method of identifying clansmen, Qin Shiliang has never doubted Qin Feng's identity before.
But now that Qin Feng didn't know the history of the Qin clan, it made Qin Shi's conscience have a trace of doubt, and the look on his face was not so respectful-
