When the welcoming delegation returned to Baling, Lu Yuan first issued an order to reward everyone in the mission, and each of them was promoted to a knighthood, and the rewards were different.

Then he personally summoned the chief envoy of the mission and went to greet Wen Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Aiqing went to the snow field this time, and she looked a lot haggard all the way."

In a study room in the palace, Lu Yuan looked at the minister sitting in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

"Serve the king, don't dare to say bitter." Wen Yuan Zhengse said.

Lu Yuan nodded, and didn't dwell on it, but asked: "This time I went to the snow field, Wen Qing looked at the many tribes in the snow field, what do you think?" ”

This time, going to the snow field to welcome relatives and welcome the spirit girl back to China is naturally the top priority and the first priority.

But in addition to welcoming relatives, the mission took the opportunity to spy on the details of the people in the snow field and check the reality of the other party, which was also the most important task of this trip.

In fact, in the past, the Imperial City Foreign Division also sent a lot of spies to the snow field to spy on the truth.

But once it comes to the snow field and the Chu State, there are many natural hazards, which are difficult for ordinary people to pass, and the traffic information is inconvenient.

Second, the tribes of the snowfield live together, and they all know each other well, and there are almost no outsiders.

The spies sent out want to infiltrate the snow tribe, and the difficulty is not at all.

Sanlai Snow Field is vast, and the various tribes are thousands of miles apart, and they are just waiting for leisure.

If a spy wants to go to a tribe, the time on the road will take a year and a half, and the efficiency is too low.

For various reasons, in addition to sending a lot of spies in the valley area that has now become River Valley County, the outer division of the Imperial City sent a lot of spies to the deeper snow field main land, and after testing for a day or two, it did not continue to go deeper.

There is no other reason.

If you want to penetrate the snowfield, the cost is too great, the efficiency is too low, and the risk is too much.

And with so much investment, the news obtained in the end, because of the area of hundreds of thousands of miles of bloodline, is often months and a half years after it is transmitted back, and it has long lost any value.

Instead of stumbling on the snowfield, it is better to put more energy on the two counties of Helong in the Zhou State.

This is the center of the storm between the Tibetan people and the Zhou State today, and the people of all the tribes are constantly gathering here, what is happening in the entire snow field, you can get a lot of useful information by exploring here.

Whether it is cost, time, or efficiency, it is far better than stupidly sending people to penetrate deep into the snowfield.

It's just that in this way, convenience is convenient, but on the battlefield, the information that can be harvested is also incomplete.

It is difficult to have a deeper understanding of the tribe of the Snowy Plains.

Therefore, Wen Yuan, as the main envoy, not only had to pick up the spirit girl this time, but also took the opportunity to observe the information of the snow field when welcoming the relatives, and made up the last piece of the snow field puzzle for the Chu State.

Xueyuan is related to the strategy of the Chu State for a period of time in the future, and it is also a great help for the Chu State to balance the Zhou State, and it must not be negligent at all.

So after picking up the spirit girl, Lu Yuan summoned Wen Yuan and asked him about the details of the trip.

"Your Majesty."

Wen Yuan saluted Lu Yuan, and then said: "This time I went to the snow field, and the minister traveled all the way for 20,000 miles, and finally arrived at Aoki, a border tribe in the snow field, and since then I have picked up the spirit girl.

Along the way, the vastness of the snowfield makes people feel boundless.

The desolation of the snowfields is also impressive.

The Aoki clan where the family is welcoming this time is only a small part of 10,000 people.

However, it is such a small tribe that has only 3,000 miles of land, which is almost equivalent to the territory of my Great Chu County.

But with such a huge territory, the 10,000 people of the Aoki tribe are still living hard, often without food, and a large number of people die of cold and starvation every year.

The reason for this is because more than ninety percent of the three thousand miles of snow fields are frozen soil where no grass grows.

In some of the remaining areas, although there are some pastures and river valleys, the land is also barren, making it difficult to cultivate and even more difficult to feed cattle and sheep.

Moreover, these grassland valleys can support thousands of people at most, hundreds of thousands of miles apart.

A tribe of 10,000 people was divided into more than ten tribes and scattered across the 3,000-mile snowfield.

If you want to assemble once, it will take more than a month.

Where there is an outward movement, it takes months just to spend time on the road.

It's hard to get things done with such a scattering of stars.

Therefore, although the snow field is wide, it is full of living beings.

Although there are many Tibetan tribes, they are scattered all over the place, and it is difficult to gather people.

From the perspective of the ministers, although the snowfield tribes are known as hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the territory that can really be used is at most thousands of miles.

Moreover, these tens of thousands of miles of land also have many grasslands and few river valleys, making it difficult to feed more people.

Tens of millions is its limit.

Even in recent years, the weather has been cold, and the environment for the snow field has become more and more harsh.

The minister asked a lot of people in the snow fields.

They all say that many snowy river valleys that could be used for grazing have also turned into frozen soil due to wind and snow, and the rivers have frozen, making it difficult to use.

Nowadays, the grassland and river valleys on the snow field are shrinking day by day, but the snow land is expanding day by day, gradually compressing the living place of these Tibetan people.

The Aoki tribe was known as 10,000 people in its heyday.

But when Cheng went to greet his relatives, he carefully observed and probed everywhere, and found that there were only 7,000 people left in this department.

The 3,000 people who disappeared either died in the second county of Zhouguohelong, or died of cold and starvation due to the invasion of wind and snow.

At this time, the wind and snow were only a few years, and the Aoki Department had 3,000 fewer people.

In the future, the implementation will continue for more than ten or decades, and the grassland and river valleys will wither day by day, and it is normal for this department to fall from a large part of 10,000 people to a small department of 1,000 people, or even to perish.

From this point of view, as long as the heaven and earth continue to be cold, the snowy fields will lose the valley and grassland, and it will be difficult to escape the scourge of extermination. ”

After Wen Yuan finished a long discussion, he finally made a judgment on the future of the people of the Snow Plains.

However, after the verdict was finished, a smile appeared on his face: "It's just a snowy people, and it is difficult to escape the disaster of extermination, but this matter is a good thing for my Dachu."

As the cold plague grew, the valley pastures of the snowy people were shrinking, and in order to survive and feed the tribe, they had to migrate outward.

In this way, driven by the cold, even if he was unwilling or afraid in his heart, he had to move troops outward for many years.

As long as the cold plague does not stop for a day, and the livelihood of tens of millions of people is not solved for a day, then the Helongbo chaos in the Zhou State will not stop for a day.

This is not something that they can solve by killing hundreds of thousands, millions of people.

Unless Zhou Guo can kill tens of millions of people in one go, or kill most of them, leaving only the population that the snow field can support.

Otherwise, as long as the Tibetan people still exist for a day, and the various tribes still have redundant and difficult to feed the population, then they will continue to attack the Zhou State Helong.

It is a battle that can be decided by years or decades, but a battle for the survival of the race for decades or hundreds of years.

Either the Fan people will perish, or the Zhou State will fall.

Otherwise, the battle will never end.

And there are Tibetan people dragging the Zhou State, and I have the northwest territory of Chu, no matter how worry-free. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Yuan stood up and saluted Lu Yuan to congratulate him.

There is a saying that is called the enemy of the other, and the hero of me.

To replace this replacement, his calamity and my blessing are also interconnected.

With the seizure of Hanzhong by the State of Chu, there was already an enemy between Zhou and Chu.

The State of Zhou is not doing well, and the State of Chu is naturally fine.

The Zhou State was dragged by the Tibetan people for a long time, and the Hanzhong of the Chu State was naturally safe.

This is a very simple and popular truth.

So even if you think so, it is a little immoral and benevolent, and it is even very cruel to the tens of millions of people in the Zhou State.

But for Chu State, for Lu Yuan and others, I have to say that this is actually a great thing.

Therefore, after hearing Wen Yuan's congratulations, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile on his face, waved his hand and said: "Zhou is a hegemon, with a territory of thousands of miles and a million soldiers. With its underlying strength, although the people of the Snow Plains are numerous, it is difficult to say whether they can hold back the Zhou State.

We can use those Tibetan people, but we can't rely on it, and we need to be hard to strike iron.

As long as the state of Chu is strong, even if the Zhou people come to attack with all their might, what is the way? ”

Wen Yuan understands the world very well, and when he heard the words, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty is Shengming, and the ministers are taught." ”

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and he was in a good mood.

……

Through Wen Yuan, after learning about the reality of the Fan people, Lu Yuan no longer had any doubts about the snow field, and he was relieved.

The impact of the cold disasters in these years on the snow field is even more serious than he originally thought.

Originally, Lu Yuan only thought that the cold disaster only made the winter in the snowfield longer.

But now it seems.

Not only is the winter getting longer, but it is also the shrinking of the pasture valley and the destruction of the place of survival.

Under the erosion of the cold plague, the people of the snowy fields have no way to retreat.

Their only way to survive is to defeat the Zhou State before the snow field completely turns into frozen soil, and take Helong, a place to live.

No, the land of Helong is not completely stable.

With the three states of the north turned into a land of ice and snow, the four poles of heaven and earth are unbalanced, and the land of Yongzhou, which is located in the west pole, will also have continuous earthquakes in the future, mountains and rivers are broken, and canyons are everywhere, which is no longer suitable for survival.

Therefore, even if Helong is taken, when the earthquake comes, those Tibetan people want to survive, they have to continue to migrate eastward, and migrate to the second county of Nanyang, Henan, the original homeland of Zhongzhou, in order to be completely stable.

It's just that this migration process can take a long time.

It is necessary to wait for the cold soil of the Arctic to come, the outbreak of poisonous fire in Antarctica, and the imbalance between the north and the south, and then affect the east and west poles.

It is estimated that it will be more than 100 years later, or even 200 years later.

Therefore, for the Tibetan people, if they take the second place of Helong, they can still live a stable life for more than 100 years.

It's just that these more than 100 years of stable life may be accompanied by many natural disasters during the period, and the two places of Helong will become more and more barren, and the output will become less and less, making it difficult to survive.

"I just don't know about this matter, and those people don't know it?"

Lu Yuan held this idea and couldn't help but ask the spirit girl.

Originally, he actually had a lot of questions in his heart, especially about the secrets of the ancient years, and wanted to be answered.

can be limited to a certain scruples, and it is also the self-cherishing of various immortal sects, and a lot of key information is impossible to tell Lu Yuan at all.

Therefore, no matter how many doubts he has in his heart, it is difficult to get answers.

The Great Mo Sect of the people of the Snow Plains has been inherited from ancient times, and the legend has it that it has competed with Emperor Huaguang for the position of human emperor, which can be described as an extraordinary origin.

Maybe through the other party, you can understand some ancient secrets.

However, when he went to inquire about the spirit girl, he was disappointed.

"A thousand years ago, there was a civil strife that broke out in the Great Mo religion.

At that time, there were rebels vying for the position of the spirit master, so that the two masters of the sect stood side by side, and each supported a spirit girl, calling each other orthodox, and each had the support of many tribes in the snow field.

At that time, the snowy region was divided, the river valleys were not united, they attacked and killed each other, and the grudges were difficult to solve.

In the end, after hundreds of years of fighting, the ancestors of the Holy Spirit Lord and the Spirit Maiden finally pacified the rebels and pacified the religious rebellion.

However, hundreds of years of war, the snow fields withered, and the various parts were broken, which also led to the loss of many classics and secret methods in the sect.

For the ancient things, only some poetry murals were left, which were passed down as ballads.

The king asked about the northern underworld, but the concubine had never heard of it, so she didn't know what it was? ”

On the incense couch, in the face of Lu Yuan's inquiry, the spirit girl's eyes showed curiosity.

"It turns out that this is the case, it seems that the inheritance of the Great Mo Sect is much less."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, then looked down, looked at the style, felt the warm fragrance and warm jade, his heart was hot, and said with a smile: "This matter doesn't matter, just ask casually, just forget if the concubine doesn't know."

In contrast, let's explore the path of spiritual dual cultivation.

Lone wants to give birth to a spirit son with his beloved concubine as soon as possible! ”

With that, Lu Yuan leaned down, and there was a coquettish cry in the room.

I have to say.

The spirit girl of the Great Mo Sect gave Lu Yuan a lot of surprises.

As a symbol of the belief of the Tibetan people, the spirit girl of the Great Mo Sect has a somewhat peculiar practice method, which is called "The Secret Method of Cultivating the Sex by the Soul of the Mo Spirit".

To put it simply, it is the Da Mo Sect in the snow field, where a statue of the Da Mo god is enshrined.

And this statue of the Great Demon God, after thousands of years of faith and worship by believers, gradually gave birth to a trace of spirituality, which can also be called divinity, which is roughly equivalent to believing in God, but this god does not have any consciousness, just an irregular concept.

Of course, the so-called ruleless concept of God actually has great drawbacks.

The essence is just a mass of energy, and it is still bound in the idol of the god, as long as it is not close, there is no threat at all.

The Da Mo Sect took advantage of this and selected qualified spirit masters and spirit women through the ages, so that they could be recognized by the god Da Mo and conform to the rules of the gods.

Then the recognized spirit master and spirit girl can get a little god spirit and merge with the root of their own life.

After that, by merging the essence of the spiritual life, the spirit master and spirit girl can borrow the divine power stored in it for countless years from the statue of Da Mo to refine herself and practice strongly.

Because the divine power of the statue of Damo is almost equal to the life of a god.

Therefore, this step is also called borrowing life.

After borrowing the divine power, the spirit master and spirit girl can strengthen their own life essence with the help of divine power, and then realize the detachment of body and soul, break the innate shackles, and enter the realm of heavenly and human grandmasters.

After reaching this realm, you can use the power of heaven and earth to feed back your own life root, and strengthen the divine power in your body by brewing that little bit of spirituality within your root.

This is the nature of cultivation.

At this point, the "Secret Method of Cultivating Sex by Soul Borrowing Life" can be considered to be completed.

Later, when the spirit lord and spirit girl reach the limit of the heavens, they will return to the statue of Damo, and they will cultivate themselves all their lives, and they have grown countless spiritual powers, and return them to the statue again.

And so the cycle is reached.

The idol pays a little spiritual power to help the spirit lord and spirit girl break through the detachment, and after the spirit lord and spirit girl die, he will return his strong spiritual power to the idol.

Such a round not only ensures the orderly inheritance of the Da Mo Sect, but also allows each generation to have two innate beings. It also ensures that the idol will remain strong and will not be exhausted and perish.

Between the gods and the Great Maha religion, a parasitic relationship of mutual benefit and coexistence has been formed, that is, it is not known who is parasitic on whom.

Maybe it's okay to say that the two parasitize each other.

But no matter what, the spirit girl who has obtained the divine power of the Great Mo God through spirituality is, in essence, indeed a real goddess as Lu Yuan thought before.

This can be seen from the holy and pure power that emanates from the other party's body, which is different from martial arts and immortal paths.

This is a power that belongs to another system in addition to the two realms of immortal martial arts.

That is, Shinto.

The so-called spirit girl spirit master is more like a container for cultivation to borrow the power of God and carry divine power.

That is, the idol of the god Damo, who has no consciousness.

Otherwise, with that borrowed spiritual power, the other party can directly descend on the two and possess everything from the other party.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to treat them as doppelgangers of gods.

A spirit maiden, a goddess with the body of a god.

Thinking of this, how could Lu Yuan not be excited?

So after receiving the spirit girl and canonizing her as a spirit concubine, she was connected to the palace.

Knowing the essence of the other party, he was completely obsessed.

For more than ten days a year, they all lived in the palace of the concubine, and their grace continued every day.

This kind of behavior made Lan Caier, who was finally in a better mood by going out to travel, suddenly exploded again.

Even during the New Year in the palace and the family party, he didn't give Lu Yuan a good face.

However, in this regard, in addition to saying more good things to his queen, Lu Yuan still went his own way and continued to hold on to Concubine Ling.

All right.

In a sense, putting aside his status as an emperor, he does have some scum.

It's just that Lu Yuan also has his own ideas in his heart.

He lingered in the spirit girl, in addition to really indulging in the other party's cold divinity, it was more for the immortal path avenue.

Well, it's Xiantu Avenue.

Although it was a bit ridiculous, after understanding the essence of the Great Mo God, Lu Yuan discovered a huge treasure from this god that no one had ever mined.

That is, for thousands of years, countless spirit masters and spirit girls, one after another, have injected the divine power into the idol.

When did the legend of the god Damo begin?

Antiquity, the era of Emperor Huaguang.

How many years ago was there?

The specific time, as the years go by, it is difficult for future generations to figure it out.

But the approximate time can still be estimated.

That is, the beginning of antiquity, about 100,000 years ago.

Now the spirit master of the Great Mo Sect, because of her divine power, has a longer lifespan than an ordinary martial arts master, similar to the Immortal Dao, and can live for two hundred years.

This is because of the silence of the aura today.

The statue of the Great Demon God was also affected, and in order to preserve the divine power, most of the divine power fell into silence, and it was rarely lent.

If you put it in the ancient times, those spirit masters and spirit girls would live longer.

It is not strange to even directly cultivate into a god comparable to an immortal Dao human immortal and an earth immortal.

With 100,000 years of accumulation, how much divine power this statue has stored is simply incalculable!

Even if you abandon the lords and spirit girls in ancient times who borrowed divine power and directly broke through the realm and ascended, it is said that it started thousands of years ago, after the civil strife of the Great Mo Sect, when they lost the inheritance of the Northern Netherworld and lost the way to ascend.

For thousands of years, there have also been five generations of spirit lords and spirit girls who have returned their divine power to the gods.

This alone is a lot of divine power.

If you can take these divine powers out of the idol and use them.

Then, in addition to the aura of heaven and earth, Lu Yuan will have another source of energy and an additional retreat option.

Therefore, in order to open this treasure mine, even if it has not yet arrived at this time, he naturally has to learn more about the so-called divine power, so as to prepare for the future plot of the god statue.

And the channel for this understanding is naturally through the spirit girl.
