"Yanzi, I want to know the past of Nanyan Kingdom, all you know." Guo Yang groaned, his eyebrows furrowed.

This is the first time Guo Yang has asked about Nan Yanguo, Yan Zi is faintly excited, it seems that Guo Yang is about to do it.

"The ancient kingdom of Nanyan actually existed in name only hundreds of years ago, and it can even be said that it has been destroyed." As soon as Yanzi spoke, Guo Yang and Anu were dumbfounded.

This ancient country of Southern Yan, its inheritance can be much longer than the Yan country of the Zhou people, according to legend, it is built by the twenty-fifth son of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and was given the surname Ji (ji), although the national strength has always declined, but after all, it is an ancient country with thousands of years of inheritance. At this moment, as the princess of the former dynasty, it is really a bit appalling that she said that the ancient kingdom of Nanyan had perished hundreds of years ago.

According to word of mouth, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, and there were twelve people with surnames, all of whom later became clan surnames. There is only the surname Yao, but it has always declined, although there are also many big people, but it has always been secret. The swallow told a story about an ancient secret.

It turned out that the ancestor of the surname Yao was not a blood relative of the Xuanyuan family, but a minister at that time, because of his military exploits in the ancient wars, he was considered by the Xuanyuan family to be the son of the moth, and was given the surname Yao, and the fief was in Shangcheng. That is, the current sour jujube yi.

The surname Yao originally existed in the form of a matrilineal clan, but as a result, the Xuanyuan family was given a surname and a feudal state, the original social system began to collapse, and some women surnamed Yao who were unwilling to lose their matrilineal rights began to plot to seize power, and finally, a secret and long-lasting coup d'état was launched in the early days of the Shang Dynasty.

It is said that in the course of that coup d'état, all the female members of the dynasty's blood relatives slowly poisoned their fathers and husbands, leaving only those minor sons.

In the following three or four hundred years, the ancient kingdom of Nanyan still seemed to be governed by the surname Yao on the surface, but it was completely controlled by the matrilineal clan forces for a long time. As for those who came to the throne, it was either a man who had been castrated, or simply a woman dressed as a man.

Therefore, the original inheritance of the ancient kingdom of Nanyan was cut off hundreds of years ago.

Later, the way of the world changed, and after years of war, everyone began to be busy with wars, trade, and expansion of territory, and the strength of the matrilineal clan was too weak after all, and it was almost destroyed several times.

After learning from the pain, the women in the palace began to think of a way again, and they finally understood that the country still needed some men to govern, otherwise, there was only one way to destroy the country.

So, after many years of training and investigation, they finally selected the ancestor of the swallow and made him accept the kingdom to ascend to the throne. However, as a surveillance and constraint to prevent the Yan family from having two hearts, a strange system was born, that is, the harem was in power, and the eunuchs supervised the country.

Therefore, in the last few hundred years, the power of the Southern Yan Kingdom was mainly concentrated in the hands of the harem and eunuchs, and the lord of the country existed as a symbol, and he could only really take power when foreign enemies invaded.

Listening to Yanzi tell this ancient secret, Guo Yang and Anu gasped and looked at each other.

"Do these unbelievable things have anything to do with Yan Baifei's coup d'état later?" Guo Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it does." Yanzi said, "Originally, the state affairs of Nanyan have always been controlled by my mother and the eunuch general manager, but after two successive wars, my father gradually took power, and my mother preferred to be tranquil and natural, and did not want to be distracted by state affairs, so she simply handed over the power to my father, which caused the dissatisfaction of the eunuch party. ”

"The eunuchs knew that they couldn't fight my father, so they began to plot and collude with the Zhou people, who had been eyeing the big business world, which attracted the scourge of Zhou Gongdan. Zhou Gongdan is a ruthless character who is good at intrigue and trickery. As soon as he came, he moved one of my father's elder brothers and two younger brothers in a few words, and made a promise to make him a prince afterwards, and persuaded them to plot a coup d'état. ”

Guo Yang listened, nodded slightly, and said, "Nanyan Ancient Kingdom, is it a Xiuzhen family?" ”

Hearing this, Yanzi nodded and said: "The ancestor surnamed Yao was originally a cultivator, so he was able to help the Xuanyuan clan make great achievements in a great war in ancient times. However, what is puzzling is that it seems that the descendants of the surname Yao do not have much Xiuzhen inheritance, and even, according to some dynasty secret documents, they seem to be very afraid of being known to be the Xiuzhen family, and unanimously declare that their inheritance has long been cut off, and they are now mortal kingdoms. ”

"Afraid of being known?" Guo Yang frowned and asked.

"Yes, according to my brother Wu Huan, the ancestor of the ancient kingdom of Nanyan has followed the Xuanyuan clan to fight in all directions for a long time, if it is not a cultivator, how can he make such monstrous military exploits in the era of ancient powers?" Yanzi also seemed to be a little puzzled, and said with a frown.

"This is a little strange, even if the Xiuzhen family spreads it, it can only increase the deterrent effect on those who intend to dye the Daoyan land, why are they afraid that others will know?" Guo Yang groaned, and a hint of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

The strength of the cultivator cannot be measured by common sense, which makes Guo Yang have to consider re-arranged.

"Have you ever seen any of these patterns?" Guo Yang took out a small roll of cloth and slowly unfolded it, but it was a hunting picture, which was exactly what Ah Jiu saw that day.

"Nope. Hey, there are a few drawings of ancient beasts, but I have seen them, and there are these kinds of stone carvings of fierce beasts on the eaves of many old buildings in the palace of Nanyan. The swallow looked at the picture, as if it was a little sad and a little sweet, and fell into memory.

"And what about these patterns?" Guo Yang took out another stack of cloth, but it was forty-eight stone carvings of different shapes, which were the stone carvings in the underground palace of the Nanyan King's Palace.

"It's ...... Haven't seen it. Yanzi carefully identified the patterns, frowned and shook his head, "Where did you get these patterns, why haven't I seen them?" ”

"These are all made out of the underground palace of the Nanyan Palace, I still think you can know something." Guo Yang spoke, slowly looking at the patterns again.

"Swallow." Guo Yang said suddenly.

"Huh?" The swallow answered.

"You have been cultivating with your master for a long time, and you should know a lot about the things in the cultivation realm, so tell me about the ancient cultivation realm." Guo Yang buried his head in the details of those patterns and said.

"Ancient Cultivation Realm? I don't know much, but I just know a little bit about it. Swallow said with a frown.

"Whatever you want, maybe I'll be able to find some clues." Guo Yang said.

"Listen to my master, the ancient cultivation realm is actually very chaotic, there are seven or eight big sects alone, one family is not subject to the other, and it has been conquered year after year, which is similar to the current world. However, at that time, it was the cultivators who fought back and forth, although it could also cause casualties to mortals, but after all, there were restrictions. Swallow said.

"There are seven or eight big sects? What are they? Guo Yang asked.

"It's said that it's a sect, in my opinion, it should be about the same as the tribe." Swallow muttered.

"Oh?" Guo Yang finally raised his head and looked at the swallow seriously.

"At that time, there were not only human races in the world, but also many tribes such as demon clans, witch clans, demon clans, ghost clans and fairy clans. It is rumored that the human race is a side branch of the fairy clan, and is not good at cultivating truth, but is good at strategy, mechanism and thinking, although the individual strength is insignificant, but it can be preserved almost completely in that ancient war, which is a bit incredible in itself. ”

Yanzi groaned and continued: "According to my master, most of these secret histories are contained in an ancient book called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" handed down in the present world is scattered for most of it, and it is really not enough evidence. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas...... By the way, swallows, do you think, do these patterns look like demons or demons? Guo Yang asked suddenly.

"Demons and demons?" The swallow was stunned for a moment, lowered his head to look at the patterns, and nodded slightly, a little abruptly.

"Anu, what do you think?" Guo Yang turned his head and looked at Anu who was eating meat and drinking.

"What's there to see, isn't it just some Protector of the Barbarian Temple." Anu said angrily, and the wine and meat in his mouth did not stop.

Guo Yang and Yanzi looked at Anu with some surprise, and said in unison, "Dharma Protector God? ”

"Yes, the Barbarian Temple is located in the depths of the northwest desert of Shenzhou, where millions of miles are rumored to be the Gobi Desert, uninhabited, and can almost be said to be a forbidden area for life." Anu said lightly.

"Anu, tell me about the Savage Temple." Guo Yang sat down, grabbed a large piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, and took a big sip of wine.
