Chapter 008: History
The education of the Qilin Academy is very different from all the military-oriented national scholars in the Xia Kingdom, and it is committed to cultivating protectors who can be literate and martial, brave and resourceful, and have both ability and political integrity, but the talents and resources are undoubtedly the best and most sufficient in the country, and the supreme reputation is irreplaceable.
However, the reason why the students of the academy are called Qilinzi, and they can't choose one out of a thousand, is not because of this reason......
As we all know, the real Qilin of the Xia Kingdom is the descendant of Emperor Lin Ze of Tianwu, that is, the famous Qilin clan.
Why is this clan so outstanding, able to lead the group, calm the troubled times, establish an unprecedentedly powerful Xia Kingdom, and accomplish almost impossible great deeds.
After the Tianwu Period, the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the iron-blooded Black Iron Age emerged one after another, which made indelible contributions to the prosperity and stability of the Xia Kingdom.
The origin of all this has to start with Tianwu Emperor Lin Ze.
He is a well-known hero, he is a generation of heroes who are proud of the world, he is an immortal myth, and he is an eternal legend. More than 800 years after his death, he is still alive in the hearts of every Xia person, and endless legends about him are still circulating in the world, as if he was alive yesterday......
Legend has it that this man was born in troubled times, and unfortunately suffered from an incurable disease called black heart disease, and the only way to prolong his life is to make himself stronger.
So, in order to save his life, he traveled all over the world, high mountains and deep streams, secluded forests and ancient caves, overseas fairy islands, everywhere, looking for strange people and strange people in the world to avoid chaos and retreat, so as to learn several immortal miracles.
He practiced day and night, becoming more and more powerful, more and more powerful, far more than ordinary martial artists, and he got his wish and prolonged his life.
Like all legendary heroes worthy of praise, he does not live to live, he is not strong to prolong his life, and he does not yearn for ethereal eternal life. In the turbulent times when human life was like a mustard, he resolutely rose, gathered a large number of talented and ambitious people, ended the war with war, and finally unified the world, settled the country, and established the Great Xia Kingdom.
Because of his extraordinary strength and incomparable martial arts, he is known as the Heavenly Warrior, known as the Incarnated Qilin, the most powerful man in the world.
As the saying goes, the country is determined by force, and the country is rejuvenated by culture.
The country built on the ruins of troubled times needs most to abandon the army, recuperate, and rebuild its homeland, so as to gradually revitalize. Xuan He's martial arts only need to be written into the history books for future generations to praise and remember.
However, war is never a one-time thing, and instead of getting the peace it deserves, the people of this reconnected land are facing more serious challenges.
Because of the coveting of the rapidly growing Xia Kingdom, the northern grassland countries attacked the prefectures and counties, the powerful Eagle and Wolf Kingdom in the west came to conquer from afar, the Xingyue Kingdom across the continent was ready to move, the southern Peacock Empire encroached on the border, and nearly a million exiles on Chongri Island in the East China Sea ransacked the coastal counties like thieves......
What's even more terrifying is that in the far north of the frozen land, in the vast and powerful Snow Country, a mysterious family suddenly emerged, calling itself the Heavenly Tree Clan. The people of this clan are all strong and incomparable, and compared to the most powerful Qilin clan in the Xia Kingdom, they are all surpassed.
They soon seized the power of the Snow Country, annexed the large and small states of the tundra, and then united with the Golden Horde, the most powerful force in the steppe, from east to west, began a frenzied conquest, burning the war all over Silozhou, and established the capital Tianshu City on the banks of the Jinshui River......
The strength and evil of the Celestial Tree Clan terrified everyone, and in just a few years, most of the Silo Continent had fallen under the control of this clan.
Their desires are insatiable, they have the ambition to conquer the world, and after their wings are full, they finally reach out to the increasingly prosperous Xia Kingdom......
The conquest and embezzlement of countries and countries are enough to make the Xia State dare not slack off and be armed. But this is only a struggle between human beings, which has never stopped since ancient times and is not new.
In this world, human beings are not alone, there are more powerful races, some lurking in the deep darkness, some living in mysterious places that humans have never set foot in, some have been discovered, and some have not yet appeared......
In the sixty-third year of the Tianwu Period, a ghost ship drifted outside the Qingcheng Harbor, and the patrol sailors went on the ship to check and found that not a single living person in the ship was missing, and some were just a shriveled and bloodless dried corpse.
Shortly thereafter, an unprecedented rebellion of the Blood Demon Clan broke out in the Xia Kingdom. A terrifying creature suddenly appears in people's sight, their appearance is similar to that of humans, but like mosquitoes, they feed on human blood and wantonly mutilate human life.
What's even more terrifying is that they can turn living people into corpses that yearn for flesh and blood, so that the evil of cannibalism spreads everywhere like a plague.
This creature is called the blood demon by the Xia people, they have a speed and strength far beyond humans, the sensitivity of sensory organs such as vision, smell, and hearing, is also much higher than that of humans, and they can even control a variety of incredible powers, which can be said to be the natural enemies of humans.
Because of the only weakness of fear of the sun, with the help of the Purple Star Clan, the Xia people finally defeated them. But the horror of this ethnic group has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the Xia people and will never be forgotten. In the long years that followed, the Blood Demon never stopped killing......
In the seventy-eighth year of the Tianwu Period, the Sea Emperor Lin Qi'er, who was conquering the sea, went deep into the Eastern Sea, and found an unheard of strange race, the Mu Clan, in a perennial sea of smoke.
They resemble humans in appearance, but they have green hair, wear seamless clothes, and live on huge trees that grow from the bottom of the sea like mountains, and the cities built on the trees are a hundred times more majestic than the summer capital, and they have a civilization several levels higher than that of humans.
They are more perfect, more powerful, and anyone can easily defeat the top warriors of the human race. They claim to be a race from an outer land, hidden in the sea for many years, and do not need the most cherished land of mankind, and have no intention of competing with the master of this world, only hoping that the two races can be safe and sound and do not interfere with each other.
The beauty and temperament of this tribe deeply impressed the Sea Emperor, and he named it the Muxian Clan, as the eldest son of the Xia Emperor and recognized as the king of the sea, he recognized the rule of the Muxian Clan over the Yanhai and issued a ban on humans from trespassing in the Yanhai.
For hundreds of years, the Wood Immortal Clan has kept its promise to the Sea Emperor, and indeed has not had any form of struggle with humans, nor has it interfered in human wars, just like the legendary immortals, carefree and secluded in seclusion.
In fact, they never thought of revealing their existence, but they didn't expect that there would be a powerful navigator like Lin Qi'er in the human race, who could break through the barrier of the vast sea of smoke.
However, in the past hundred years, another force of the Mu tribe has quietly risen on the sea, and they have lived beyond the sea of smoke, occupying one uninhabited island after another, each island is planted with gray and tall Tongtian vine trees, and the sphere of influence is expanding without limit......
It is rumored that sooner or later, giant trees and vines will spread all over the world. The Wood Clan has been dormant long enough, and destroying humanity and taking over this world is within the plans of this Clan.
......
The never-ending wars and the threat of the mysterious race have made the Xia people maintain a long-lasting sense of distress and have always sought to be strong.
They urgently need super strong warriors like Tianwu Emperor Lin Ze and Thunder Emperor Lei Shuai to appear, they need it now, and they will need it even more in the near future.
As a result, when Emperor Tianwu was still alive, he personally presided over the establishment of a Qilin selection mechanism on the basis of the Qilin Academy, looking for children with outstanding qualifications from all over the country, selecting the best of the best, and cultivating them, hoping that through the efforts of generation after generation, human beings will become stronger and stronger, and more and more Tianwu Emperors will appear, and more and more Thunder Emperors will be able to face the challenges of the future.
Nearly a thousand years have passed.
Generations of Qilinzi have grown up, and indeed many outstanding characters have emerged, but there is no existence comparable to the Tianwu Emperor and the Thunder Emperor, and they can't even get close to them at all.
The blood of the unicorn gradually thinned, and after the glory of the Golden Age and the Silver Age, the newborn baby boy of the Lin family was shocked with symptoms of black heart disease. In less than a hundred years, the black heart disease has spread to the whole clan, and none of the men of the Lin family have been spared, and the bloodline of the Qilin is facing the danger of extinction.
The Black Iron Generation with a black heart rose up bravely, just like their ancestors, to suppress the erosion of the disease with their own strength and restore the glory of the Kirin clan.
However, the Tianshu clan, which had been defeated at the hands of Emperor Tianwu, lost no time in making a comeback, wanting to destroy the Xia Kingdom and enslave the Xia people in one fell swoop. In the tragic war, the black-hearted unicorns fell one after another, withered, and died like epiphany.
After the last Heavenly Warrior Lin Cheng died in the Red Emperor City, the Qilin clan declined inexorably, and finally reached the point where it was difficult to maintain even the bloodline.
