The spirit clan of the world built seven cities

The sun, moon and nebulae are set in all directions

The Silver and White Kings City is a succession

The two cities of Yanshui Gong Wang Court

The storm suddenly changed, and the war broke out

The Seven Cities fell into the smoke of gunpowder

After ape Xuan usurped the world

The spirit clan returned to the mountain and the seven cities died, and the opening sentence of the "Spirit Empire Chronicle Calendar".

In ancient times, human beings have not yet differentiated from the spirit race, and naturally there are no human seven countries in Kyushu now, at that time there was not even Kyushu to say, the land of Kyushu is called Shenzhou (Kyushu is later the spirit tribe of the barbarian horn department of the great sage Xuan Qingxu surveyed), the spirit race has established a great empire that has ruled for 10,000 years, and the land basically includes all the four seas of Kyushu now, at that time, the 100,000 mountains in Xizhou are the real desolate land, there are neither human beings nor spirit races.

The "Chronicle of the Spirit Empire" revised by the historians of the Ling royal court divided the empire, which had existed for 36,000 years, into three eras, and this division was widely recognized by the various tribes of the Spirit Race as an authority. The 10,000 years at the beginning of the empire are regarded as the first era, the second era begins with the construction of the seven cities, and ends with the destruction of the seven cities by the spirit clan and the return of the 100,000 mountains, a total of more than 25,000 years, and the third era is the beginning of the spirit race entering the 100,000 mountains until now. The first epoch is known as the Age of Enlightenment, the second is known as the Age of Flares, and the third is the Age of Twilight.

In fact, it is questionable to regard the Apocalyptic Era as the beginning of the rule of the Spirit Empire, and serious historians would refer to this era as the period of tribal warfare. At that time, the spirit race basically had no concept of a country in their hearts, and most of them were scattered all over Shenzhou in the form of small communities, and conflicts and conquests between various communities were naturally inevitable. In this process, the Yu clan gradually grew stronger with its innate wisdom and dexterity, and successively subdued the two clans of the Barbarian Horn and the Flame Wolf, and established the kingdom with the strength of the three clans, and then through the combination of war and Huairou means, it gradually obtained the submission of more than ten clans such as Tiger Stripes, Lion Claws, Raccoon Fox, Fierce Bear, Tenacity, and Water Shark, so far the prototype of the Great Empire of the Spirit Clan was basically completed. Later, the remaining clans of Shenzhou also joined the kingdom one after another, and at the end of the Qixing Era, the Yu clan finally completed the unification of Shenzhou and gave a unified name to all the people in the kingdom - the Spirit Clan, and the Yu clan naturally became the royal family of this kingdom.

After the unification of Shenzhou, the Yu clan led the newly established spirit clan to build seven cities with the power of the whole country. The first was to build the silver and white city in the land of today's Yuzhou, and it is also the royal city of the spirit clan in the world (also known as the city of the Yu clan). Later, in the southwest and northeast of the Silver White City, the Red Flame City and the Black Water City were built respectively, and the two cities of Red Yan and Black Water and the Silver and White King City faced each other from afar, guarding the Silver and White King City. Finally, at the very edge of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the empire, the four cities of Fuyang, Yaoxing, Shenyue, and Feiyun were built respectively, with the intention of defending the four directions.

After the construction of the seven cities, with these seven cities as the center, the Spirit Clan has established countless towns and towns around it, forming the most basic blood and flesh of the empire, and also achieving the dazzling civilization of the Spirit Race, until later the Spirit Clan ape Xuan clan rebelled, separated from the Spirit Race and claimed to be a human race and expelled the other tribes of the Spirit Race to the 100,000 mountains, this era is the era of the Bright Stars. In the 10,000th year of the Yaoxing Era, the Yu tribe combined the beliefs of the various tribes of the spirit tribe to establish the orthodox status of the belief in the moon god as the supreme god, and then decided to measure the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou to draw a map (for the god of the dynasty), and take the gold and stone of the nine Shenzhou positions to cast the tripod (for the Kyushu Ding), and pay tribute to the moon god to pray for blessings. Xuan Qingxu, the great sage of the barbarian horn tribe, accepted this task, and in the process of surveying, Xuan Qingxu further expanded the nine places where the gold and stone were obtained and divided into states, which is the origin of the name Kyushu (Xuan Qingxu originally named the location of the Silver White City as Yizhou, but later King Yuwu changed its name to Yuzhou, and the other eight states and four seas continued the original name. ）。

Chiyan, after the completion of the Second City of Heishui, as the Acropolis of Silver and White City, was naturally given to the Barbarian Horn Clan and the Flame Wolf Clan who first followed the Yu Clan, of which Chiyan City was sealed to the Flame Wolf Clan, and Blackwater City was sealed to the Barbarian Horn Clan, in fact, this is also the purpose of the establishment of the Second City.

Thousands of years ago, in the war of human spirits, seven cities were destroyed in the war, and later human beings rebuilt five of them, after the reconstruction of the silver and white city was renamed Yuwang City, it has now become a lonely city, Shenyue City was rebuilt and renamed Yuyue City as the capital of Yingguo, Fuyang City was rebuilt and renamed Anyang City as the capital of Yin State, Yaoxing City was renamed as Xuxing City as the capital of the southern part of Li (the capital of Li State is Seshu City, located in the middle of Li Kingdom), Feiyun City was rebuilt and renamed Leyun City, which is the capital of Han Kingdom. After the war, mankind established a religion that honored the sun god and called Xihe Shenjiao.

The rest of the spirit tribes that belong to the mountains have also rebuilt the three cities of Yinbai, Chiyan and Heishui, Yinbai City is still the seat of the royal court, located in the middle of the 100,000 Great Mountain, Heishui City is located in the west of Yinbai City, and the dominant city is still the Barbarian Horn Clan, Chiyan City is located in the east of Yinbai City, presided over by the wolf clan, but unlike thousands of years ago, the scale of the three cities is much smaller, and all affairs are no longer completely controlled by one clan.

What Jiang Bai and his party are going to is the Spirit Clan's Chiyan City, which people habitually call Yancheng.

Zai Xin had already conveyed the message of coming through the eagle letter, because his father Zai Yu had already informed the sentinels around the city to pay attention to it, and when Jiang Bai and the others were ten miles away from the city, Zai Yu led the crowd to greet them......

"Prince, Zhu Shi, Zai Yu has lost his welcome!" Zai Yu said and bowed, with indescribable joy in his expression.

Everyone also returned the salute, but Zai Yu did the welcome gift of the spirit clan, and Jiang Bai wished him to return to the gift of the spirit clan. The women of the human race couldn't learn if they wanted to, so they had to return the gift of gratitude from the human race, and Zai Xin stood aside stupidly with Wei Feng on his back.

"This place is at least ten miles away from Chiyan City, not far away, King Yu, do you want to go straight but stop the stream to welcome us?" Zhu You said with a smile.

"Where do you wish the teacher, if it weren't for the affairs entangled, I really wanted to go but stopped to welcome you, haha!" Zai Yu also smiled heartily.

"King Yu, don't call me the prince, call me Huai'an, have you forgotten?" Jiang Bai said helplessly to Zai Yu.

"You are the husband of Princess Qixing, and it is always a little uncomfortable not to call the prince." Zai Yu Road.

"But I'm also Teacher Zai Xin, I'm uncomfortable calling you the prince! Didn't Yuheng also let you call me Huai'an! Jiang Bai frowned.

"Okay, call Huai'an." Jae Yu no longer insisted.

"This is not the place to talk, go back to the city first, you have been tired all the way, you should have a good rest, and the rest of the rest will be rested. Zaisin has already sent a message to me, I have prepared the carriage, let's go first. Zai Yu said to everyone.

After that, everyone boarded the car one after another and entered Yancheng under the escort of the Zaiyu guards.

Built on a mountain, in a huge valley, Yancheng has its own magnificent image from a distance under the sunlight. The tributary of the Panlong River, the water flowing through here, is cited as the moat of Yancheng, and also provides sufficient water for Yancheng.

Along the way, the women whispered, of course they knew that they were greeted by the wolf king of the Spirit Clan, Zai Yu, for this wolf king who looked very similar to Zai Xin, they were full of curiosity, but they didn't dare to look too much. There was so much time left for them to get acquainted, after all, they would have to live under his protection in the future.

After entering the city, everyone was warmly received by Zai Yu, needless to say. After arranging for everyone to rest that day, Zai Yu called Zai Xin out alone.

"You didn't say it in your letter before, did you practice kendo with the prince and still haven't made any progress?" Jae Yu asked.

"No, Master Zhu, they all said that the cultivation method of human beings is not suitable for our spirit race. However, Master has developed another cultivation method for me, and I think that should work. Zaisin replied.

"Oh, in what way?" Zai Yu Road.

So Zai Xin told Zai Yu about the spear cultivation method that Jiang Bai had formulated for him. Zai Yu didn't say anything when he heard this, but patted Zai Xin's shoulders with both hands, intending to encourage him to persevere despite hardships.

"Who is that kid? Will they stay in Yancheng this time? I see that you are quite intimate with him, and I didn't mention it in my previous letter, only that I and the prince saved a handful of women and sent them over. Zai Yu said again.

"Xiao Feng, he didn't stay, he has worshiped the master as a teacher, and now he is my junior brother, this is what happened on the way here, but before that, Master Zhu was already going to teach him medical skills, I forgot to say." Zaisin Road.

"This kid is so great that he can be favored by the prince and the master at the same time." Zai Yu Road.

"Well, Xiao Feng is extremely smart, I was surprised to see the master's expression when the master was accepted by him as an apprentice before, this is something I have never seen before, and then I whispered to Master Zhu for a long time, presumably Xiao Feng has a very rare talent." Zaisin Road.

"Now that you have become a senior brother, you should take good care of your junior brother when you are old, do you know?" Zai Yu instructed Zai Xindao.

"I naturally save it, Xiao Feng is well-behaved and clever, he is also the most dependent on me, I can see that we have a very good relationship." Zaisin laughed.

"Well, you also go and rest, tomorrow I will discuss with the prince how to arrange those human women, and then you accompany me to sweep the tomb of your mother, you are now older, she must be very satisfied when she looks at you as an adult in the spirit of heaven." Zai Yu said, with a sad look on his face, obviously very affectionate for his beloved wife who passed away.

"Hmm." Zaisin agreed softly, also a little sad, and then showed a look of resentment. His mother died when he was very young, so Zai Xin's impression of his mother was very vague, only knowing that his mother was a woman of the Shui Shark tribe, and the deepest impression was that one summer, his mother turned around, and his legs turned into fish tails to support him in the water, he began to cry in fright, and then watched the scenery on both sides of the river bank quickly retreat, and he was like an immortal floating on the water out of thin air, and he screamed with joy.

Regarding the death of Zaisin's mother, this involves an old story. When she went back to visit her mother's family on the edge of the South China Sea, it coincided with the territorial conflict between the Shark clan and the Tiger Stripes and Renjie clans, the reason was that the Tiger Stripes and Renjie clans knew that the Shui Shark clan was not good at land warfare, and the royal court divided such a large territory to the Shui Shark clan, and it was close to their territory, so it was inevitable that they would be motivated. In fact, there has always been such a conflict, but that time the situation was a little out of control, the tiger stripes, the two clans of Renjie actually united to attack the Shui Shark clan, Zai Xin's mother Tan Tai clan was originally the princess of the Shui Shark Clan, and when she returned home to visit relatives, she naturally led the people to resist when she encountered this matter, but she was shot in the chest by a tiger tooth arrow and died.

Later, the corpse was sent back to the wolf department, and Zai Yu was furious and ordered all the warriors of the wolf clan, and he was going to fight to the death with the tiger stripes and the tenacity and the terrcity clan. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the royal court of the Yu clan urgently came forward to mediate, and Queen Yulong personally took an eagle back and forth to the various ministries, and talked about the benefits, and finally the matter was suppressed by the bullet, after all, the ministries were still full of awe of the royal court. Tiger Stripes and Renjie explained that it was an accident and that the Tiger Tooth Arrow should be a stray arrow, but they were also willing to pay the price to appease the wolf king's anger, and finally promised to never invade the territory of the Shui Shark Clan again.

The direct consequence of this incident is that the Shark Clan and the Wolf Clan are gradually separated from the Yu Clan's royal court, especially the Shark Clan gradually closes itself, except that the Wolf Clan is no longer willing to contact other tribes, but the Wolf Clan's territory is too far away from the Shark Clan's territory, so there is not much contact.

The wolf clan guards the land entrance of the 100,000 mountains, and the water shark clan guards the sea entrance to the south of the 100,000 mountains. The tiger, leopard and wolf ride is now also a legend on the Kyushu continent, but the humans outside don't know that the wolf clan and the tiger and leopard clan in front of them have long been like enemies. Such an intractable situation made the Spirit Clan Royal Court very helpless, and this was almost a microcosm of the internal rivalry among the various departments of the Spirit Clan in the 100,000 Great Mountain.

Later, for some reason, the first heir to the throne of the Spirit Clan, Yu Heng, the eldest princess of the Feather Clan, ran away from home and lived in the territory of the Wolf Clan, and also rejected the Barbarian Horn Clan husband selected by Queen Yulong for her to marry an outside human instead, her behavior was naturally opposed by the various tribes of the Spirit Clan, but excluding the Mercury Clan and the Wolf Clan, the Shark Clan completely ignored these things, but the Wolf Clan stood up clearly to support Princess Qixing and the decision she made.

The day after Jiang Bai and his party came to Yancheng, Zai Yu invited them to the council hall.

"Huai'an, Zhu Shi, and the rest of you, how did you rest last night?" Zai Yu said with a smile on his face first.

"If we don't say anything about such hospitality, won't we have no conscience." Zhu You stroked his beard and smiled. Jiang Bai also smiled and nodded, and the rest of the women naturally claimed to be.

"Huai'an, have you told them more about the situation on our side?" Zai Yu pointed to the women and said to Jiang Bai.

"It's all said in general, they are also mentally prepared, King Yu, please rest assured." Jiang Bai said.

"I'll say a few more words to them." Jae Yu laughed.

"That's nature." Jiang Bai said.

Then Zai Yu turned to the women and said, "You may be worried when you first come here. I have also heard about you, the world is difficult outside, it is not easy for you to survive, and you should cherish the opportunity to live. You can now let go of your worries, and now that you come to my territory, I will treat everyone equally, and if you have a skill, you will be able to live well here, even if you don't, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you can live without worry, and you can live in peace, and no one will bother you. If you can get married here and have children, it will be the best, and I will also send gifts and blessings. There are few outsiders on our side, some time ago Huai'an sent a few people, and then you, in fact, I really want to know you, those mountains have separated us too far and too long, and there will be my people to arrange a place for you later, what are you good at to tell them, they will be thoughtful, and they will treat this place as a home in the future. ”

"I can weave cloth, and I weave the finest and softest material in ten miles and eight towns!" One of the women said hurriedly as soon as Zai Yu finished speaking.

"I can raise silkworms!" Another woman said.

"The four of us can read and hyphenation, and we can also play with flowers and plants." This must be Yun Niang's maids.

The women scrambled to report it.

"Hey, you don't need to tell me, just tell my people later." Zai Yu said helplessly.

Jiang Bai and Zhu You couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. Before long, the clansmen who Zai Yu said came, and the women first made a big salute to Jiang Bai, Zai Yu, and Zhu Shi, and then left with them, talking all the way to those people, and eight times out of ten they were introducing their specialties, and they looked very energetic.

"You didn't see what they looked like when they were first rescued, and now they look like a world away." Jiang Bai looked at the backs of the departing girls and said softly.

"If a person has hope, he will be able to come out of it, no matter how painful and embarrassing it is." Best wishes.

"I really feel now that it was not a kindness that they said it was a kindness that saved them from suffering, but an honor for me." Jiang Bai said.

Hearing this, Zai Yu stepped forward and patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder and said: "Huai'an rest assured, even if they don't do anything here, I will take good care of them, after all, you sent them, I was afraid that they would slack off in life, and it would be bad if people didn't do anything." ”

"King Yu did that is your loss, you don't know the outside, now although the outside is chaotic, but the folk production skills are much stronger than in the mountains, not to mention anything else, the woman who can raise silkworms is also a treasure outside, the fabric spun from silk is delicate and tough, can prevent sword wounds, and the color is bright and soft, it is the beloved thing of the princes and nobles in the outside world. It's a pity that there are turbulent times outside, otherwise such a woman would not have been displaced. Jiang Bai said.

When Zai Yu heard what Jiang Bai said, he patted his head and said: "I forgot, the blacksmith surnamed Hu you brought last time, we have never seen his method of forging iron, and the things he made are really first-class, but it's a pity that he doesn't fight swords, and it's useless for me to persuade him, otherwise the combat power of our wolf clan warriors will definitely be able to leap a big step!" Zai Yu said, his face full of unwillingness.

"And this silk, I've heard of it, is it really that good?" Zai Yu Road.

"You'll know when she raises it, and it's useless for me to say that you haven't seen it." Jiang Bai said, "And that Hu Kui, I will visit him later, he made a great vow not to make a weapon of troubled times, if he is sure that the weapon he makes can bring benefits to this world, he will start it, King Yu can't force him too much." ”

"That's natural, such people can't be subdued by coercion, and I'm just admonishing." Zai Yu said and glanced at the long sword on Jiang Bai's back, he knew that it was made by Hu Kui, and sighed in his heart that it was indeed a good sword.

"You said that silk, I don't have silkworms here for her to raise, how can she raise them?" Zai Yu said again.

"King Yu rest assured, the woman carried silkworm eggs with her, at the most critical moment, she did not forget to hide well, that is the capital she relies on to survive, what she needs at that time, King Yu will try his best to meet, and he will be able to produce silk." Jiang Bai said.

"By the way, what about the two children of Zai Xin and Xiao Feng? They are Huai'an's disciples, don't they accompany Huai'an to find old friends? Zai Yu suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Zai Xin and Wei Feng come together just now, so he asked.

"As soon as I woke up in the morning, Zai Xin was gone, and I disappeared without a trace along with my student, and I still had a medicinal herb to teach him today." Best wishes.

"Zai Xin hasn't been back to Yancheng for a while, so he probably took Wei Feng to play, and these two children have a very good relationship." Jiang Bai said with a smile.

"Zai Xin, this cub doesn't learn well, and he still takes his junior brother who doesn't learn well, see how I clean him up when I come back!" Zai Yu said angrily.

"King Yu doesn't have to be like this, Zai Xin is still a teenager when he talks about it, and he was aggrieved when he cultivated with me before, and now it's not a bad thing to relax his mood, and it is the right thing to take my little junior brother to visit Yancheng, and I didn't want to take them with my friends." Jiang Bai said.

"It wasn't originally a matter of a day or two that I taught Xiaofeng medical skills, so King Yu doesn't have to worry." I wish you well.

"Hey, regardless of them, let's go to find Hu Kui together, if possible, Huai'an must help me persuade him." Zai Yu Road.

After Zai Yu finished speaking, the three of them went to visit Hu Kui together. At the same time, Zai Xin and Wei Feng were on their way to the Yancheng martial arts arena.

Wei Feng's arms were full of food sent by the residents along the way, originally they were going to pull Zai Xin and Wei Feng home to entertain them, but Zai Xin said that they would come to the martial arts arena and they no longer insisted, only stuffed things for them to eat on the road, they obviously knew who Zai Xin was, and they could also see that Zai Xin and his son were extremely loved in this land.

Wei Feng was naturally extremely curious along the way, everything in Yancheng was something he had never seen before, and Zai Xin briefly introduced him to the history of Yancheng and the wolf clan living here along the way.

"Senior brother, are you saying that everyone here can become a wolf like you?" Wei Feng asked curiously.

"It's not all, there are some people from other clans living here, and most of our wolf clan don't live here." Zaisin Road.

"So where do they live? It's nice here, why don't they come here to live? Wei Feng said.

"Yancheng is very good, but it's not big enough, most of our people live in mountain settlements, and they will only come here if the wolf king summons them." Zai Xin said, "Do you see the highest platform over there, it's called the beacon tower, just gather the people of the clan to light a fire on that platform." Wei Feng looked in the direction of Zai Xin's finger, and sure enough, he saw a huge wooden frame stacked on top of the platform. Once that one is lit, the nearby tribes will also light their own beacons when they see it, so that if they pass it on in turn, they will be able to gather all the members of the wolf clan.

"Then why did the wolf clan transform? Isn't it possible to live a normal life without changing one? Wei Feng asked again.

"It's different, once the spirit race is transformed, they will gain different abilities, like our wolf clan's spirit turn, not only the teeth and claws will be turned into sharp weapons, but its own strength will also be greatly enhanced, but there are also drawbacks, that is, the lack of flexibility in human form, but excellent spirit warriors can realize part of the body's spirit turn, which does not affect flexibility and can become stronger." Zaisin Road.

"Then Senior Brother, can you partially reincarnate?" Wei Feng said.

"I can't do it yet, but when I get to the martial arts arena later, you can see some of the wolf warriors who have turned around," Zai Xin scratched his head.

While talking, Zai Xin and Wei Feng came to the Yancheng martial arts arena. The wolf clan is still martial, the martial arts arena is built extremely grand, the basic part of the circular martial arts arena is built with huge stone bricks of human height, it is difficult to insert the knife into the seam, and then there are stone pillars that are so thick that the two people hug together, and the stone pillars support a huge dome, the dome is made of canvas, and the canvas can be pulled apart by thick hemp rope in sunny weather.

Wei Feng was startled as soon as he entered the martial arts arena, and he saw more than a dozen mountain-like giant wolves tethered around the martial arts arena......

"Are they wolves too?" Wei Feng asked cautiously as he hid behind Zai Xin.

"The wolf clan is usually no different from humans, they are wolves, not wolves." Zai Xin explained, "They are the mounts of the wolf cavalry, only the best wolf warriors are qualified to ride them on the battlefield, once the tiger leopard wolf rider was the dominant Kyushu, but unfortunately there are too few wolves, otherwise our spirit race would not have been defeated by humans thousands of years ago, the tiger riders of the Tiger Stripe Clan and the leopard riders of the Renjie clan are the same, if they have enough tiger leopards, they can also change the outcome of the war." Compared with the war horses of the human cavalry, in addition to their superiority, they are really just fools pulling carts compared to our mounts. ”

"How many wolves are there in the wolf clan?" Wei Feng asked.

"The wolf clan can probably find three hundred wolves, maybe less." Zai Xin said, "But the combined mounts of the Tiger Stripes and Tenacity Clans may not be more than 200 horses, and they can't beat us." ”

"Why are the wolves fighting them?" Wei Feng wondered.

"We have a grudge against them, and we will tell you slowly in the future." Zaisin said resentfully.

At this time, a large group of wolf warriors surrounded and greeted Zai Xin warmly.

"Young Patriarch, I knew that you were back yesterday, but I didn't bother you, I told them to look for you today, General Yan said no, you will naturally come here today, and sure enough, he said it!" As he spoke, a wolf warrior with a cross-body sword came over and hugged Zai Xin hard, laughing loudly.

"I studied art with my master, and I didn't even have anyone around me who could compete, I wanted to come over when I came back yesterday, but unfortunately I couldn't leave." Zaisin laughed.

"You can compete with your master, Prince Jiang!" It was the same wolf warrior from before who patted Zaisin on the shoulder and smiled.

"You can go and try!" Zai Xin squeezed him very lightly and said with a wry smile.

"Hey, who's this little man?" The wolf warrior saw Wei Feng behind Zai Xin, and asked in surprise, in fact, he had seen Wei Feng early in the morning.

"This is my junior brother." As he spoke, Zai Xin led Wei Feng to everyone and introduced him.

"Hey, Prince Jiang's favored disciple will definitely be half-human and half-immortal when he grows up, so he doesn't expect to be able to beat him." The wolf warrior quipped.

"I'm not going to hit you." Wei Feng said cautiously.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Then the warriors practiced martial arts, and Wei Feng also saw what Zai Xin said about some of the spiritual transformations, the limbs of those warriors became wolf limbs, and their heads also became wolf heads, but they had all hands and feet, and their form was also the appearance of people walking upright.

Jiang Bai, Zhu You, Zai Xin, and Wei Feng stayed in Yancheng for four days. During the day, most of the time, Jiang Bai, Zhu You and the wolf king Zai Yu discussed things together, and Zai Xin took Wei Feng to the martial arts arena to play. In the evening, Jiang Bai and Zhu Youhui will come back to teach Zai Xin and Wei Feng.

Four days later, the group of four set out on their return journey.
