Chapter 105: The Land of Jiyun

Jiyunze on this small plateau is a huge saline lake that has formed naturally. The surface of the lake is calm without a trace of waves, like a mirror.

In the beginning, the formation of Jiyunze was caused by the upward movement of the earth's crust in ancient times. Ji Yunze is a huge nameless lake in the northeast corner of the Julu Plain, but because it is on the edge of the earthquake zone, it has been affected by strong geological activities in ancient times, and the entire location of Ji Yunze has been raised by a strong earthquake for nearly 100 meters, and Daze has been elevated.

Because the waters of Daze can not circulate, the stagnant water can not come out, the living water can not come in, and the mineral veins in the basement of Jiyunze, the mineral content is very much, resulting in the alkali content of the lake water is very high, the lake water is not prosperous, not to mention, there is no creature, the water surface has become pure white color due to perennial accumulation, at first glance it looks very dreamy and beautiful.

Because the small highland is elevated, and it is located in the flat and unobstructed Julu Plain, the sunlight shines for a long time and the area is very wide. Jiyunze has not opened an artificial canal, there is no underground water resources, the water level of Daze has been far less than before, the perennial lake water evaporation caused the land originally hidden in the middle of Daze to reveal the true face of Lushan, forming a small island. Over time, there were people living in the paradise in the middle of the Daze, forming this strange country - the country of auspicious clouds.

The country of Jiyun is a native country, not formed by migrating from other countries, or gathering displaced people fleeing war. Because it is located in the middle of a large river, with a natural saline-alkali lake as a barrier, the people of Jiyun Kingdom living on the island live very carefree, when the iron horsemen of the Gulong Dynasty stepped here, they did not admit to setting foot in destruction when they saw this beautiful country. Of course, the people of Jiyun Kingdom are very peace-loving, and they hardly use any force to deter, so they naturally took refuge in the powerful Gulong Dynasty.

The reason why Jiyun Country is called Jiyun Country is not because it is on the island in the middle of Jiyun Ze, but on the contrary, it is because it first has the name of Ji Yun Country, and then the surrounding Daze is named Ji Yunze.

As the name suggests, auspicious clouds mean auspicious clouds. Its origin comes from the special geographical conditions here - the vast area of Jiyunze due to the long period of sunshine, the water vapor rises, and a large area of large clouds condenses in the high sky. When the water vapor condenses to a certain point, it will not be able to bear the weight of the rain, which rises and falls, forming a special climate cycle, so that the water level of Jiyunze remains in a fixed position all year round, and there is no change in the past hundred years.

And it is precisely because of those large areas of pure white clouds that are above the country of Jiyun that the country is given a romantic name - Jiyun. When it doesn't rain, Jiyunze is like a pure white and pure holy land, and the mirror-like lake reflects the pure white clouds and blue sky in the sky, which is very auspicious, making the island in the center of the lake like a paradise island.

As the saying goes, human geography is not separated, and people living in Jiyun are accustomed to seeing rolling auspicious clouds, and their personalities are as pure and simple as the clouds. The people here are hardly exposed to the sun's rays, and are fair-skinned, tall, and spicy food.

The most popular industry in Jiyun is the production of lake salt, and almost all the beaches near the lake on the island are pure white salt. After the diligent hands of the people of Jiyun Kingdom have been transformed, the salt produced is of very high quality, and it is the exclusive salt of the three royal families of the Gulong Dynasty.

Jiyun people have always been sentimental and sentimental, very artistic, good vassal elegance, I think they were born in this pure white and beautiful holy country, and life is not disputed, very comfortable. Moreover, the people of the Jiyun Kingdom enjoyed a privilege granted by the Ancient Dragon Dynasty - free from compulsory conscription. Instead, in addition to paying tribute to the dynasty with high-quality salt, they were also responsible for paying tribute to the "Yoshiun Beauty", who was good at singing and dancing, as a genus of singers and geisha. The lords, princes and nobles of some other countries and territories around them are also proud to be able to marry a Jiyun beauty.

In addition to salt and beautiful women, Jiyun Country also has a specialty. After all, exemption from compulsory conscription is not a right that can be enjoyed lightly. Ji Yunguo also has a trump card - Yun Shi.

In the eyes of the people of Jiyun. Clouds are colored. There is a soul. It's talking.

The people who live in this land have been observing and studying the unpredictable clouds for hundreds of years. With wisdom condensed into a precious crystal, combined with Taoist doctrine and Qingwu feng shui techniques, a unique set of clouds to distinguish good luck and evil - the art of floating clouds and shadows.

This floating cloud shadow is to predict good luck and evil through the color, shape, and direction of the clouds in the sky, and the person who masters this magic is the cloud master. Legend has it that there is a string of colorful cloud beads on the body of the cloud master, each of which is round and jade, and exquisite. The seven colors of the cloud beads are made by condensing the seven colors of clouds in the sky into dew drops with a special herb called "auspicious cloud grass" with the secret technique of floating clouds and shadows, and finally cooling them, which is the symbol of the authentic cloud master and the most important instrument for divination.

Floating clouds and shadows must have other divination techniques, although they are rare, but they have the absolute advantage of not being controlled by time and place.

However, this art of observing clouds and shadows is a very advanced knowledge, and all the cloud masters who can master this magic have been trained since childhood, and the art of the great success of the magic is even more "eye-opening". Therefore, Yun Shi is very noble, and the training cost is also very high, and he is a scarce talent in the entire dynasty, and his high status is also evident.

It is difficult to find a thousand daughters of Yunshi, although the ancient dragon dynasty clearly stipulates that the profession of Yunshi can only serve the dynasty and the royal family, and the violator will be executed, but as the saying goes, the supply exceeds demand, and there must be brave men who risk the world under the drive of interests, and seek wealth and wealth, there are always people who have a gambling mentality and run to other countries to lobby, buy and sell divination, and there are many people who have taken a fancy to the violence, and come to Jiyun to learn art, and even many Jianghu Taoist priests simply swagger and deceive in the name of Yunshi, to see that the monarch of that country is carried away, and can deceive one is one。

As everyone knows, as early as a few years ago, the Fire Emperor ordered the Yunshi to be recruited into the southern county, and Zhao'an became a doorman, controlling the real Yunshi and institutionalizing it. It is because of the so-called cloud masters on the market today that they are all playing some tricks that are not in the stream, and there is no real one. Over the years, Jiyun Kingdom has become a holy place for many people who want to become Yun Shi to come to Hajj, but there are some fake Taoist priests and real liars with various gimmicks all year round, and all kinds of poisonous chicken soup are scattered, and one can be deceived by one.

In this way, more and more people come to Jiyun Kingdom year by year, driven by interests, Jiyun Kingdom seems to have formed a strange "industrial chain" - in the royal city, large and small, dazzling, there are many divination stalls and attics. All kinds of "cloud master training institutions" are lined up, and the streets and alleys are full of fake Taoist priests with colorful cloud beads with a secretive face and fairy wind bones.

What's even more exaggerated is that the legendary colorful cloud beads are also sold on the streets and alleys, the cheapest sanwen, and the most enough to be measured in gold. Each one is made of brilliance, and there is a look.
