Chapter Seventy-One: The Story of Qingyu Country

"Of course. Xue Yi said, "As the six major countries of the mainland, each country has its own uniqueness, for example, our Star Iron is rich in minerals, and there are countless blacksmiths and spirit craftsmen here, resulting in the Star Iron Country becoming a forging power, and the country is prosperous." As the other five great powers alongside our Star Iron Country, he naturally has his own special place. ”

Xue Yi paused, recalled slightly, and said: "For example, in the territory of Qingyu Country, there is continuous rain all year round, and almost all the time in a year is under rainy weather. It is rumored that in the Qingyu country, with the national capital as the center, there has not even been a sunny day for hundreds of years within a radius of 300 miles. ”

"Ah, why is that?" Hearing such news, Lin Yuming was still slightly taken aback.

Xue Yi's expression became a little serious, and he said, "This is a curse from the gods. ”

When Lin Yuming heard this, his surprise eased slightly, but he looked at Xue Yi in a daze, remembering all the stories he had heard and seen in the Chuanya Valley a week ago, about the stories of human beings suffering from the curse of the gods in the ancient period of Chuanya.

Xue Yi didn't notice Lin Yuming's expression, he just thought that Lin Yuming was frightened by what he said, and continued to tell the story: "This is a curse from the gods, speaking of this story, it goes back to nearly a thousand years ago, when the Qingyu Country was not even called Qingyu Country, but another name, and the specific name was not handed down, but was erased by the people of Qingyu Country as a shame at that time." ”

At this time, the convoy had already marched to a path between the forests, although the road was a little bumpy, but the two carriages arranged by Wang Baocai for the two of them were quite luxurious, and Lin Yuming, who was sitting in the car, almost didn't feel any bumpy feelings, and listened to the story quietly.

At that time, the spirit master was regarded as a god-like existence by all the continent human beings, they eliminated disasters for the poor people, and they did not have any selfish intentions, nor did they seek any benefits, but now, some spirit masters in the main hall are for the commission bounty to carry out the tasks entrusted by people. ”

Lin Yuming glanced up at Xue Yi, and Xue Yi hurriedly changed his words: "Uh...... Of course, this is also human nature, and the spiritual master also has to live. Keep telling the story. At that time, the Qingyu Kingdom was not as famous as it is now, in fact, the six major countries were also slowly growing after the spirit master popularized the entire continent. At that time, although the country of Qingyu was not prosperous, it was also a peaceful country, and they had a god they believed in, the rain god. ”

"Some people think that the existence of gods is a little mysterious, but there was no one who thought like this in Qingyu at that time, and there were many miracles of gods in their country. This rain god even left a divine object in the royal family of Qingyu Country at that time, and warned the emperor of Qingyu Country at that time to take good care of such a divine object, he would protect the safety of the entire Qingyu Kingdom, but if one day the divine object is lost, the whole country will be punished by him. ”

"What about later, was the artifact lost?" Lin Yuming asked.

"Yes. Xue Yi replied affirmatively, "And the artifact was not stolen by others, and at that time, a child with royal blood in the royal family of Qingyu Kingdom guarded and stole it, and handed over this artifact to a group of outsiders, and the outsiders promised the benefits of this royal family member, which was a huge fortune." At that time, the royal family of Qingyu Country, and even the people of the entire Qingyu Country, in their hearts, the rain god was their highest faith, in other words, no one would betray such a divine object of the rain god, but this royal family member betrayed the divine object, he was regarded as a shame by the people of the whole country at that time, and after the royal family found out, they immediately executed the most cruel criminal law on this royal family. However, the rain god was still extremely angry, and the promised punishment came as expected, even if the royal family had later recovered the artifact. ”

"The heavy rain invaded the entire Qingyu country, at that time, the Qingyu country actually did not have much territory, that is, there were even a few small villages and towns near the national capital, after the heavy rain, several small villages were flooded, and several towns also received disasters of varying degrees. At that time, the emperor and the royal family of Qingyu Kingdom were very busy, and some ordinary people gradually began to complain, complaining that there was such a scourge in the royal family, which harmed the lives of the people of the whole country. ”

"Then what happened later, how did Qingyu Kingdom grow to this point?" Lin Yuming was a little puzzled.

"It's the first generation of spirit masters. Xue Yi said, "At that time, the first generation of spirit masters had just become famous in the mainland, doing good deeds in various parts of the mainland in the name of divine gifts, and constantly spreading various skills about spirit masters, when he heard about the affairs of Qingyu Country, he rushed to this side. However, the disaster at that time had lasted for a very long time, and the Qingyu country was already flooded, and even some water-loving beasts came to the territory of the Qingyu country to wreak havoc. ”

The first generation of spirit masters is the name of the first spirit master who can cultivate after receiving the gift of the gods on the Grace Continent. At the same time, there are also some friends who are close to this spirit master, who have learned the cultivation methods of the spirit master, and are also known as the first generation spirit master. However, this spiritual master who has been blessed by the gods also has an honorific title, called the Spirit Emperor.

"Brother Xue is talking about the Spirit Emperor?" Since Xue Yi was called the first generation of Spirit Master, Lin Yuming asked.

"That's right, it's the Spirit Emperor. Xue Yi affirmed, "Emperor Ling heard the news of Qingyu Kingdom, so he rushed to Qingyu Country, communicated with the royal family of Qingyu Country at that time, and after understanding the ins and outs of the whole matter, he decided to help Qingyu Country solve this catastrophic experience." Emperor Ling first recovered the Rain God's artifact from the group of outsiders of unknown origin, and at the same time asked the Rain God to forgive his people. ”

"Did the rain god finally forgive Qingyu Kingdom?" Lin Yuming asked.

"Not yet. Xue Yi said with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "The rain god saw that although the royal family of Qingyu Kingdom took back the divine objects he gave to Qingyu Kingdom, they still did not trust Qingyu Kingdom, but at the request of Emperor Ling, the rain god conducted a test on the royal family and the people of Qingyu Kingdom. At that time, the Qingyu Country was still shrouded in a downpour, and the rain god's test for the Qingyu Country was to recover a water-based spirit beast that was in the territory of the Qingyu Country in this downpour. ”

"Spirit beast, what is that?" Lin Yuming asked curiously when he heard a term he didn't know.

"Doesn't Yu Ming know about spirit beasts, what about alien beasts?" Xue Yi asked.

"Well, I know that the beasts are some beasts that have absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, and they dominate among the beasts in the mountains and wilderness, and they will also commit murder when they encounter passing humans, so there are often some tasks issued to eliminate these strange beasts in the spirit master main hall, which are usually not entrusted by the people, but issued to the spirit master main hall by the state. Lin Yuming replied.

Xue Yi nodded and said, "Well, this is a strange beast." In fact, spirit beasts are also alien beasts, but they are also completely different from alien beasts. They have extremely high intelligence, have their own thinking ability, and have been able to systematically cultivate, and their strength has improved countless levels faster than that of alien beasts, and they are even no different from human spirit masters. But their numbers are extremely rare, and they can't be compared to the alien beasts. ”

"It turns out that there is such a thing on the mainland. I've never heard of a spirit animal? Lin Yuming couldn't react slightly, digesting the information about the spirit beast.

Xue Yi looked at Lin Yuming's reaction, slightly amused, and said: "The number of spirit beasts is extremely rare on the mainland, and ordinary spirit masters basically can't see it, and only occasionally you can hear some legends about spirit beasts. Off topic, let's move on to Qingyu Country. In order to continue to gain the trust of the rain god, the royal family and the people of the Qingyu country accepted this test of the rain god, and the rain god also asked the Spirit Emperor not to interfere in this test. ”

The more Lin Yuming listened, the more incredible he felt, at this point in this story, the incredible existence of the gods had gradually emerged, appeared in this story, and completely participated in it. Originally, even if Lin Yuming really existed, he would not communicate with humans like this, gods are sacred and noble, unless humans have committed serious mistakes, the gods will punish humans in the form of nature, not like Xue Yi said.

At the same time, Lin Yuming also became more and more curious about the subsequent development of this story, and asked, "What about after that?

Xue Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course not, otherwise the current Qingyu Country would not still be in rainy weather every year." ”

Lin Yuming remembered that Xue Yi had talked about the situation in Qingyu Country before, and fell silent.

"The spirit beast that the rain god said is an extremely powerful existence, and the rain god even asked the spirit emperor not to intervene in it, not to mention that even if the spirit emperor can make a move, he is not very sure that he will be able to recover it. Xue Yi said slowly, "The spirit master cultivation method that the Spirit Emperor passed on at that time has actually spread all over the continent, but there are not many spirit masters in Qingyu Country who practice Mahayana. Some people who think they have some strength want to become heroes of the country and go to recover the spirit beasts, but in the end they are all gone. ”

In this way, the punishment of the rain god has not stopped, and the test has been continuing, but no one has been able to complete it. At that time, the spirit beast was not very strong, but in the past nearly a thousand years, its strength has grown to an extremely high level. The people of Qingyu Country have also gradually adapted to the continuous heavy rain in the past thousand years, and a large number of spirit masters who are good at using water system spiritual magic have been born from it, and with their efforts, they have continuously expanded their territory, hoping to get a piece of soil with sufficient sunlight. ”

"And after that?"

"What the people of Qingyu Country did not expect was that with the expansion of the territory, the scope of rain coverage also continued to expand, and the land occupied by Qingyu Country was also covered with a rainy landscape, although it was not like the heavy rain in the area where their country was located, but basically there was no sunlight. But there are good and bad things to do. At least Qingyu Country is now one of the six major countries on the mainland, which is a good proof of this. In fact, now, the people of Qingyu Country are even a little inseparable from such heavy rainy weather. Xue Yi said with some amusement.
