Chapter 367 366. The Nation Soars! (Please subscribe!!!)

Not long after, An Le and others were invited into the city by Ji Xingyun.

And along the way, what they saw and heard in Tianxing City also opened the eyes of everyone, and they were quite surprised.

The houses and buildings here are too simple, most of them are regular squares, neat and tidy, almost without any redundant decorations and structures, to maximize the use of space, but in terms of aesthetics and comfort, they are undoubtedly much inferior to conventional buildings .

On the streets here, there are no hawkers yelling and selling along the street, and there are no dazzling shops, and there are not too many pedestrians.

The clothes on people's bodies were also plain, most of them only had one color. Chen Jiannan and the others originally thought that the brothers and sisters of Ji Yu's cousins ​​were special, but now it seems that all the residents of Skystar City wear similar styles of clothing, and there is no difference.

Chen Jiannan looked at those stacked cube-shaped rooms and whispered, "Wouldn't it be too crowded to live in this kind of room?"

"It's like coffins, so unlucky."

The keeper of the grave sighed softly: "If there is no other choice, who would want to live here?"

Luo Luo couldn't help asking curiously: "There are no vendors on the street, so how do people pay for food and clothing?"

Hearing this, Ji Yutang on the side explained: "In Tianxing City, we will distribute a certain amount of stone tokens to the residents every month, and they can take the stone tokens to receive spiritual rice, meat, cloth, and the materials that can be claimed for different stone tokens. Different, they are also called rice cards, meat cards, and cloth cards, oh yes, the spiritual power of monks should also be given according to the share, and they cannot exceed the budget."

Rollo was even more surprised when he heard that, and asked, "Can you estimate how long a month is?"

Ji Yutang didn't think it was strange, and said, "A scorching sun catastrophe is one day, and about thirty scorching sun catastrophes, there will be a cold moon catastrophe, which is one month."

"Today happens to be the Cold Moon Tribulation, and sometimes the date of the Cold Moon Tribulation will deviate, so we need to go to the surface to observe, and that's when we ran into the seniors."

This peculiar timing method surprised everyone.

Hong Yingxue said to herself: "Is that weird hot wind the scorching sun calamity, but what does the cold moon calamity refer to?"

Speaking of this, Ji Yutang also showed a bit of fear on his face, and said solemnly: "Although the scorching sun catastrophe is terrible, there are some people who can resist it, but once the cold moon catastrophe comes, all living things on the surface will wither! So far no one has survived the Cold Moon Tribulation."

At this moment, the door of a room on the street opened, and the person inside shouted.

"It's fat! It's fat!"

These two brief calls were like a glass of water being poured into a hot oil pan, and instantly aroused great repercussions. From one house to another, many residents rushed out like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the deserted street just now became bustling.

People gathered around the door of this house, looking at the freshly slaughtered animal meat inside, their eyes were almost shining.

The monks in the house shouted routinely: "Come and get it with the card, come one by one, don't jump in line!"

Even Ji Yutang couldn't help rushing to the door of the room, took out the stone tablet, and ran back a moment later with some pieces of fresh meat, with a satisfied smile on his face: "I'm lucky today, I got a piece of thigh meat."

He looked at Chen Jiannan and the others who were staring at him, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry everyone, it's a rare opportunity to come across this kind of opportunity, I really can't hold it back, if I go late, there will only be leftovers. "

Everyone was silent for a long time.

"Even the son of the city lord's family has to receive supplies with a card..."

Hong Yingxue said in a low voice: "Is the living conditions here so bad?"

Even when the Great Zhou was first established, with the protection of the original people, ordinary civilians would not have fallen into such a situation.

But everyone also understood that this weird system and situation originated from the harsh environment of Tianxing City.

Rather, in this dark underground space, being able to support such a city of people is already quite remarkable.

Hong Yingxue asked Ji Yutang again: "Where do you get the food and fresh meat here?"

Ji Yutang explained: "There are farms and pastures in Tianxing City, and they are also the most important facilities in the city. They are guarded by special personnel. The people who attacked the city just now came for them."

"Fortunately, there are seniors to help, otherwise, if the farms and pastures are damaged, the vitality of Tianxing City will be severely damaged."

An Le looked at Ji Xingyun beside him, and said, "Who is it that attacked Tianxing City?"

Ji Xingyun sighed and said, "It's a cultivator from Jinglei City."

Hong Yingxue frowned: "Is Jinglei City also a member of the Great Xia Federation?"

"Exactly."

Ji Xingyun nodded, his expression became more solemn: "It's just that the current Great Xia Federation has deteriorated."

While speaking, Ji Xingyun had already brought everyone to the City Lord's Mansion of Skystar City.

It is said to be the City Lord's Mansion, but it is actually just a slightly larger cubical building. There are no maids or servants in the mansion. There is only one gentle young woman, who is Ji Xingyun's wife.

Seeing guests coming, the young woman quickly brought out tables and chairs to entertain them, but because of the small space, it seemed a bit crowded.

She took the meat from Ji Yutang's hand, and took the two siblings away temporarily.

Ji Xingyun said embarrassingly: "The place at home is not big, and the hospitality is not good enough, which makes all the seniors laugh."

Many monks are not people who care about small details, but are more curious about the situation of the Great Xia Federation, and urged them to ask: "How did you come to this planet, and how did you establish the Great Xia Federation?"

Without hesitation, Ji Xingyun spoke eloquently, telling everyone the history he knew.

"The origin of the name Great Xia United City-State is no longer available to test. It's just based on what my father and grandparents have said. The predecessor of the Great Xia Federation was a complete and unified dynasty."

"At that time, a strong man in the Great Xia predicted that the catastrophe was coming, and then gathered the power of the whole Great Xia, mobilized all available resources, and the whole country soared to this desolate and dead planet."

These words shocked the entire group greatly, and they did not return to their senses for a long time.

"The whole country soars..."

Hong Yingxue couldn't calm down for a long time, and murmured: "How much courage and how much manpower and material resources does it take to accomplish such an incredible feat?"

She suddenly thought, isn't this kind of deed of taking the whole Daxia away is the same as An Le sending the whole Dazhou away?
Hong Yingxue thought to herself: "Could it be that this strong man is also someone An Le met in Da Zhou?"

Ji Xingyun continued: "After coming here, people found that the surface of the planet was plagued by scorching sun and cold moon, which were not suitable for people to live in, so they went deep underground to open up shelters."

"The carrying capacity of an underground space is limited, and the second and third underground city-states gradually appear, and the residents gradually disperse. Due to the long distance and communication difficulties, many underground cities seem to have become the surface of the sea. isolated islands in the world, with increasingly weak connections."

"The original Great Xia Dynasty survived in name only, but each dungeon still regards itself as a member of Great Xia, so it became the current United City-State of Great Xia."

Hong Yingxue asked: "Then why do you say that the Great Xia Federation has gone bad?"

Ji Xingyun sighed and said, "Seniors, please follow me."

He pushed open the back door of this room, and a surge of lush and rich spiritual power rushed towards his face, and what came into view was a vast farmland, most of which were planted with spiritual rice, and a small amount of spiritual fruit and vegetables.

And not far from the farmland, there is a pasture, where some livestock for food are kept.

The back door of the City Lord's Mansion actually leads directly to farms and pastures, which shows how much Ji Xingyun attaches importance to this place.

It sounds absurd, but considering the current situation in Skystar City, it is not difficult to understand the scene in front of you.

Hong Yingxue suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Where does the spiritual energy here come from?"

An Le looked down at the farmland, and his consciousness easily passed through the soil to see the existence deeper in it.

"Senior's perception is really sharp."

Ji Xingyun said: "Under this farmland and pasture, there is a spiritual vein!"

"It is the existence of this spiritual vein that allows Skystar City to continue."

Chen Jiannan stared wide-eyed, not daring to say anything: "There are spiritual veins underground on this planet?"

Ji Xingyun smiled wryly and shook his head, "No, it's not what you think, senior. This spiritual vein was formed the day after tomorrow, and its source is a miraculous liquid, which we call..."

"Original Liquid of Absolute Beginning."

Hong Yingxue's complexion changed slightly, her heart was shaken, and she turned to look at An Le.

An Le nodded slightly to her, and said, "Absolute primordial liquid, that is, Taichu Dao liquid, they are also the root of the world's spiritual veins."

Then, An Le stared at Ji Xingyun and asked, "Isn't this primordial liquid distributed when the Great Xia city-state was dispersed?"

Ji Xingyun nodded: "When each dungeon was built, different shares of primordial liquid were distributed according to the population of the dungeon."

"But now, they have also become a source of disputes between city-states."

All cultivators are intelligent people, and they quickly figured out what the so-called "degeneration" was all about.

Although the civilians in Skystar City have a very difficult life and are in the stage of planning and distribution, but on the other hand, they are still alive and have the right to practice.

What's more, even the city owner's family lives a life of obtaining materials by cards. From a certain point of view, this is also an extremely rare equality.

But it is clear that not all dungeons can maintain this tough style.

Some city lords will always occupy most of the city's resources for their own selfish desires, and the people in the city will be treated as useless consumables and burdens. In some cities, only seeds with talent for cultivating immortals may be left, and the rest of the civilians will be disposed of.

This is an unavoidable situation.

Even if the city lord selected back then was indeed a good person and was willing to bear and assume this responsibility, but people will change.

Each dungeon is like a miniature independent kingdom, and the city owner is the king of this kingdom, possessing great power.

In the face of the temptation of power and strength, there are still a small number of people who maintain their original intentions.

Not to mention, no one can guarantee that the descendants of the city lord will not decay.

And after mastering a city, whether it is for a better living environment or for cultivating to a higher level, more primordial essence liquid is needed.

Invading other dungeons undoubtedly became the only option.

"I see."

People suddenly realized and figured out the key points.

Ji Xingyun sighed: "In recent years, the number of city-states aggressing each other and fighting each other has been increasing. Some dungeons are for self-protection, while others are for obtaining primordial liquid. Our Tianxing City is located in a relatively remote place underground. But it was also targeted by Thunder City."

"Actually, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had good intentions back then, but the following city lords failed to stick to their original intentions, which led to the current situation."

An Le's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How much do you know about that Great Xia Emperor?"

Ji Xingyun was a little dazed and didn't understand why he was interested in the Great Xia Emperor ten thousand years ago, but he still said honestly, "I don't know much."

"Many deeds about the last emperor of Great Xia have been lost, as if they were hidden by someone with a heart."

An Le said: "Why?"

Ji Xingyun hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his conjecture: "The emperor is a person with mixed reputations. She played a vital role in the process of the country's ascension. It is she who unswervingly implements her His will allowed Daxia to come to this planet."

"But in order to mobilize all the power of the Great Xia Dynasty, she used some rather brutal methods to suppress the families and forces that did not obey her. However, the more urgent her actions were, the more opposition she encountered. People don't understand and don't support her."

"In those days, a lot of people died."

Ji Xingyun paused, and continued: "Gradually, people think that this emperor has gone crazy, and they regard her as a tyrant and call her Emperor Yunai. Even if she finally leads the civilians to ascend, no one can prove it. Whether the catastrophe will come, or even... Some people think that they are forced to live in the dark underground and trapped on this barren planet, it is also the emperor's fault."

"So, to this day, this prejudice still exists, probably...someone doesn't want people to remember that emperor."

An Le was speechless.

He could already confirm that the last emperor, the tyrant known as Emperor Yunai, was his fellow Taoist, Ji Yunting!
It's hard for An Le to imagine, what kind of pressure the once weak imperial daughter had to bear in order to ascend to the top of the country?
What kind of belief did she hold, despite the opposition of the world, she dug up the underground spiritual veins with great courage and took away all the primordial fluid?
How would Ji Yunting feel when her hands were covered with blood and she saw innocent people die?
However, the people of Great Xia did not thank their queen.

An Le suddenly felt a little ridiculous, but he also knew that this was the normal state of the world.

Some people are great precisely because they know that they are walking on a road that is not understood by the world, even though they have hesitated and wavered, they still move forward.

An Le looked at Ji Xingyun beside him, and said seriously.

"Your emperor is a man worthy of respect."

　"Human beings, don't thank Luo Ji." I feel that this sentence is very appropriate here.
