Chapter 18 The Desert of the Northwest
The war between the Six Nations lasted for a hundred years.
Under the whole world, the beacon fires are in the sky, the lives are devastated, and the people are not happy.
In order to protect themselves, some capable monks have opened sects one after another, and then based on the sect, they expanded their territory and established a country to resist the Six Kingdoms.
Among them, there are three countries with the greatest power and the most reputation.
The first to rise of the demon race, the establishment of the snow country, is also one of the two biggest hidden dangers of the human race.
The second is the immeasurable view of Shushan.
The Immeasurable View is the head of the Sword Sect in the world, and it is divided into two factions: the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.
The Sword Sect established the Ba State, the Qi Sect created the Shu State, and the two countries of Ba and Shu were located in Xichuan, which were superficially allied to resist foreign enemies, and secretly they were also fighting, both wanting to annex each other.
The last to rise is another hidden danger among the two hidden dangers of the human race, the demon race.
It's a pity that when the demon clan rose, the Six Kingdoms had already realized the seriousness of the matter. So, the six countries joined forces, together with the two kingdoms of Ba and Shu, and drove the demon clan into the 100,000 barren mountains.
Therefore, the demon clan has been destroyed before the founding of the country, and can only live in a corner and seek self-peace.
In addition to these three major forces, there are many small countries, such as Song, Wei, Lu, Wu, Yue, etc., although they all have a certain amount of power, but compared to the Six Kingdoms, their strength is too weak to be worth mentioning.
Seeing the chaos in the world and the abundance of countries, the six disciples of Tianjizi realized the seriousness of the matter.
So, the six of them secretly discussed and jointly established a sect.
The battle between the six people is only carried out within the sect and does not involve the state.
There is no doubt that this sect is the sixth sect of the Heavenly Sect, which is the head of the Dao sect today!
And the six countries controlled by the six divisions of Tianzong, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu, are also the six most powerful countries in the world, occupying the most fertile land and resources in the land of Shenzhou.
Hearing this, Qiye suddenly realized a lot.
The six divisions of Tianzong, the immeasurable view of Shushan, was originally formed in this way, and he also had a general direction for the territory he should choose as a condition for peace talks.
First of all, it is necessary to avoid the Six Kingdoms, because they are the territory of the Six Divisions of the Heavenly Sect, and the land is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles. With the style of the Heavenly Sect, it is impossible to cut a single cent to the demon clan.
Secondly, it is necessary to avoid the two kingdoms of Ba and Shu. The reason is the same, the six divisions of the Heavenly Sect are unwilling to cede their own land, is it okay to be immeasurable?
Finally, avoid countries and territories that have a homeland.
It's not that they're afraid of them, with the strength of the Snow Country Demon Clan, except for the six divisions of the Heavenly Sect and the Immeasurable Concept, the other human forces are not to be feared.
It's just that if the demon clan wants to get out of the far north and integrate into the land of Shenzhou, it must have good relations with these countries, otherwise, if others come to your territory twice in three days to make trouble, the gains outweigh the losses.
After these three points are removed, there is not much land that Qiye can choose.
"Three guest officers, please have tea. ”
Bai Qi boiled the tea and respectfully sent it to the three of them.
"Go down. Qiye waved his hand and motioned for him to go out, the next thing that the three of them discussed would be extremely important and must not be leaked.
"Yes. Bai Qi retreated with interest.
After sending Bai Qi away, Qiye probed around again, and after making sure that there was no one at all, he continued the topic.
Qiye: "Mr. Seventy-One, I can't hide it, on this trip, I want to fight for a place for the millions of people in my Snow Country." ”
Mr. Seventy-One seemed to have expected it, and said calmly: "The Seven Princes are talking about the peace talks between the people and the demon clans, right?"
Qiye nodded: "That's right." The bitter cold land in the far north, with a lack of materials, is not suitable for people to live in at all. In order to avoid disaster, the demon clan moved north, and there were three million people at that time, but over the years, many people have either frozen to death or starved to death, and today, only one million people remain. In the long run, the snow country will surely perish, and as a last resort, the demons want to negotiate peace with the human race. If the peace talks fail, in order to survive, the Snow Country is afraid that the whole country will go south, and when the time comes, the war will be together, and the world will be devastated. ”
Mr. Seventy-One glanced at Mr. Eighteen next to him and sighed: "I already understand the intention of the Seventh Prince and the Eighteenth Hour. As long as it can promote peace talks between the two ethnic groups, so that all the people in the world are free from swords, I will do my best in the future. ”
Qiye was overjoyed, "With the help of Mr. Seventy-One, the peace talks have been completed." ”
Mr. Seventy-One smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how the Seventh Prince wants Zai Xia to help you?"
Qiye said: "According to my speculation, the focus of the peace talks between the human and demon races must be to divide that piece of land to the Snow Country? The six major countries will definitely not cede it, even if they cede it, the Snow Country will not dare to ask for it, for fear that they will send troops to destroy the Snow Country at any time." Similarly, the land of Ba and Shu in Xichuan cannot be wanted. ”
Mr. Seventy-One mused, "In this way, there will not be much fertile land. ”
Qiye shook his head and said: "I don't want fertile land, I only have three conditions." ”
"What about the three conditions?" asked Mr. Seventy-One.
Qiye said: "First, the place I have chosen must satisfy the two major sects of the Six Divisions of the Heavenly Sect and the Immeasurable Sect, so that they can not find an excuse to refuse the peace talks. ”
"Second, we must not make enemies with other forces and countries of the Terran race. ”
"Third, the area I want must be wide enough to accommodate tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. ”
Three conditions, Qiye didn't mention anything about the Snow Country, but they were all thinking about the Terran Race, if he didn't know his identity, he was the Seven Princes of the Snow Country, and even Mr. Eighteen and Mr. Seventy-One would suspect that he was a spy of the Terran Race.
Mr. Seventy-One hesitated, "Your Highness, there are not many places like this. ”
Qiye smiled: "If this kind of place can be seen everywhere, you don't need to ask Mr. for help." ”
"That's just as well. Mr. Seventy-One smiled proudly, and when it came to his understanding of the world's mountains and rivers, he thought that he was the second in the world, and no one dared to say the first.
With his eyes closed, Mr. Seventy-One kept recalling in his mind the places he had traveled over the years, recalling what he had seen along the way, and looking for a place that met the conditions of the seven leaves.
After a full hour, Mr. Seventy-One slowly opened his eyes and said, "Your Highness, you are only a shallow learner in the Lower Majesty, and you can only select three places for Your Highness, only for Your Highness's reference." ”
Three places!?
Qiye was shocked, and secretly said that he had really found the right person, in such a short period of time, he could find three places that met the requirements, which was absolutely unimaginable if he was replaced by others.
Qiye arched his hand and said: "Please also ask Mr. Seventy-One for guidance." ”
Mr. Seventy-One said: "The first place is an isolated island overseas, called Penglai. This island was discovered by accident when I was at sea in my early years, after the boat capsized in a storm. ”
"Although it is an island, its area is large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people, and the island has fertile soil and abundant fish production, which can be said to be the land of fish and rice, and it is not a problem to raise millions of people in the snow country. ”
"The most important thing is that Penglai Island is not within the scope of any country's territory, and if His Highness wants this place, he will definitely not harm anyone's interests. ”
Penglai Island, an overseas island!
Qiye pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I can't want this island." ”
"Why?" Mr. Seventy-One was puzzled, in any way, Penglai Island was an excellent choice, otherwise, Mr. Seventy-One would not have ranked it in the first place and recommended it to Qiye.
Nanaba's explanation: "Because this island is too dangerous. Mr. Seventy-One has thought about it, in terms of strength, the Terran is dozens of times larger than the Snow Country, why can't the Terran destroy the Snow Country?"
"That's because Snow Country is hiding in the far north, where the wind and snow are all over the place, and the environment is harsh. The demons are body refiners, strong and strong, and can barely resist it, while the human race can't resist the invasion of wind and snow. ”
"Relying on the unique geographical environment, millions of people in the snow country can survive to this day. Just imagine, if the demon clan migrates to an overseas island and loses the protection of the wind and snow, doesn't it mean that it will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others?
In this world of the jungle, if you want to survive, you must first have the power to protect yourself.
Peace talks without self-preservation will never be reliable, just a piece of waste paper.
Mr. Seventy-One thought about it, and felt that what Qiye said was reasonable, so he continued: "The second piece of land is the land of Baiyue in the south. The land of Baiyue is adjacent to 100,000 barren mountains, and it is close to the demon clan. Moreover, there are miasma and swamps on the periphery as natural barriers, which are enough to protect themselves. In terms of environment and products, the land of Baiyue is also better than the snow country, the only drawback is that the land of Baiyue is mostly poisonous insects, snakes and ants, to live in it, you must be vigilant and pay attention to it. ”
Qiye knocked on the table, but still shook his head and said, "It's not okay in the land of Baiyue." ”
"And why?" asked Mr. Seventy-One.
Qiye said: "Because the land of Baiyue is too close to the 100,000 barren mountains. The demon and demon races are the two major troubles of the human race, and the Heavenly Sect and the Immeasurable View will never sit idly by and watch the two races join forces. ”
"From the snow country to the land of Baiyue, from the far north to the south, it is thousands of miles away, and on the way, it will pass through the five countries of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and Chu. Once Tianzong suddenly repented and intercepted and killed the demon clan on the way, even if the demon clan was not exterminated, it would definitely be killed and injured. ”
It's too far away, and it's also a danger!
Qiye never pins his hopes on other people's charity, anything, any possibility, he has to consider.
Mr. Seventy-One sighed, "So there is only this last place." ”
"The last place, what is it?" asked Nanaba.
Mr. Seventy-One: "West of Qilian Mountain, north of Xichuan, is located in the northwest of the Great Desert. ”
"Although the Northwest Desert is a vast area, the environment there is harsh, there is no grass, and the wind blows all year round, and the yellow sand is all over the sky, which is not suitable for human habitation at all. Therefore, all the nations of the Terran race abandoned that land and did not include it in their land. ”
Mr. Seventy-One smiled helplessly: "If His Highness wants that piece of land, whether it is the Six Divisions of the Heavenly Sect or the Immeasurable View of Shu Mountain, there will definitely be no opinion." ”
Qiye pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Seventy-One, is there a map for me to take a closer look?"
"Yes. ”
Mr. Seventy-One cleaned up the tea set on the table, then took out a map from his bosom and spread it flat on the table. He pointed to the northwest corner of the map and said, "This is the Northwest Desert." ”
Following what he pointed out, Qiye looked away, and sure enough, he saw a blank area, without the name of any country, not even the mountains and terrain were drawn, completely blank.
