Chapter 738 Tianyun City
After staying in this space for four or five months, Qin Feng also knows the reason for the lack of food here, because in this place, there is very little arable land, and most of them are rolling mountains.

Qin Feng and others walked for three or four hours before they came out of the mountain range that encloses Tianyun Town. After passing through a large canyon, a flat grassland finally appeared in front of them.

"There should be a lot of minerals in this kind of place?"

Qin Feng looked back at the mountains behind him, and shook his head in confusion. Generally speaking, places with many mountains have the highest probability of depositing iron ore. Rare mines such as gold and diamonds are extremely rare.

But in this space, things seem to be reversed. There are so few iron ore veins, but gold mines can be seen everywhere. Qin Feng has been walking in the mountains these days, and he has picked up several high-purity horseshoe gold alone. piece.

"Damn, if this place is discovered by the outside world, I'm afraid the price of gold will plummet, right?"

A strange idea suddenly popped up in Qin Feng's mind. With the amount of gold in this space, if all of it is mined, the gold currency system that has been in use for thousands of years will collapse in an instant.

"Senior, if you go another twenty miles, you will be in Sky Cloud City."

Qin Shiliang, who was walking in front, saw Qin Feng standing still, turned around and walked back quickly, and said, "I asked Wu Erbao to send the letter to Feige, and the city must have already arranged to receive you, senior..."

Being able to recruit a master of dark energy for the family is a great contribution. Qin Shiliang was naturally overjoyed when he met two of them at once this time, for fear that Qin Feng would not want to go to Tianyun City.

"Flying Pigeon Passing Letters?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then remembered that the pigeons raised outside today were used for communication and military purposes in ancient times.

Now in the courtyard area where Qin Feng lives, there are still people raising carrier pigeons. Every morning and evening, carrier pigeons can be seen flying across the sky, and the whistle on their feet makes a unique sound.

"Flying pigeons are a way of communication within the family..."

Qin Shiliang explained a few words to Qin Feng, and he believed more and more in his heart that Qin Feng came out of the mountains, and he was afraid that Qin Feng's family had lived in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, because carrier pigeons were born more than 300 years ago It was brought in from outside.

"Let's go, I also want to see the wisdom of the ancestors, and see how Tianyun City is today..."

Qin Feng took a deep breath. As the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a disaster. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Some time ago, because of the Qian family, when he met Qin Feng and others in the town, he always took a detour. He has never seen this space before. Larger human settlements.

"Sky Cloud City is the second largest city of our Qin Clan, and it is also the place where the surnames are the most diverse, but here we still have the final say..."

When Qin Shiliang spoke, there was a hint of arrogance on his face.

At that time, Tianyun City was not far from Qin, so it could be said to be a place where hundreds of surnames worshiped. Even after the Qin capital was destroyed, Tianyun City still maintained its former prosperity and did not decline because of it.

"Jinxuan, are you tired?" Qin Feng glanced back at the little girl who was following the mule, and said, "Persist for a while, we will arrive at Sky Cloud City soon..."

Both Qin Feng and Zhang Xiaotian are masters of dark energy cultivation, Zhang Hu and Qin Shiliang are also in the realm of bright energy, only Zhang Jinxuan's cultivation is inferior, and the several rests along the way are all for the little girl.

"Master, I'm not tired. I have Xiao Hei with me." Jinxuan shook her head, with a trace of excitement on her face, and said, "Master, are there any good-looking clothes in Tianyun City?"

Unlike the small town where Zhang Hu had been to the Qian family, this was the first time Jinxuan had come out of the mountain when she was so old. When she was in the small town before, she was dressed in sackcloth, and she would be voted for by the girls in the town. Envious eyes.

"Yes, I have any kind of clothes I want to wear!" Before Qin Feng could answer, Qin Shiliang smiled and said, "Sky Cloud City has everything you need in brocade silk and satin. Sister Jinxuan, I will take you to buy it when the time comes..."

"Thank you, Brother Qin..."

Jinxuan smiled sweetly. Although the makeup on her face showed that she was in her early twenties, she was still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl when she spoke.

"These crops are planted well, and they can be harvested in two months..."

After leaving the mountain, almost all the places in sight are crop fields, and there is a wooden house every 500 meters. When Qin Feng and others pass by, people will come out of the wooden house to observe them.

"The crop land in this area accounts for 40.00% of our Qin family's rations."

Qin Shiliang sighed, and said: "The mountains are not suitable for farming, and there are many wild animals. Whether the Qin family can have enough food next year depends entirely on these grains..."

"In the past, these problems were probably not a problem at all. With a large population, these contradictions will become more prominent."

Qin Feng shook his head when he heard the words. According to the history of this space told by Uncle Zhang, the earliest people who lived here may only be tens of thousands of people who are similar to the Qin family.

But when the four major clans and people who were killed by the Yuan Dynasty came in, the population of this space almost doubled geometrically. Up to now, there are millions of people living here.

Although the reproductive power of human beings is not as good as that of some animals, it is also extremely terrifying. Now the number of human beings on the earth has exceeded the 60 billion mark, and perhaps in a few hundred years, this kind of food shortage phenomenon will also appear in the outer space.

As the journey continued, the number of people on the road gradually increased. Most of these people were in groups of three or five, with sturdy expressions and weapons made of iron and wood.

However, after seeing Qin Shiliang, these people would stand on the side of the road and bow to salute, and they would continue on their way after Qin Feng and the others passed by.

"Qin Shiliang, what do these people do?" Qin Feng asked a little puzzled.

"Senior, they are all hunters of Sky Cloud City!"

Qin Shiliang said: "The food production in Tianyun City is limited, and it needs to be supplied to several other cities, so many people will go hunting in the mountains, and exchange the meat and fur of wild animals for food..."

The clothes Qin Shiliang wore were the standard uniforms of the Qin Clan's bodyguards. As the managers of the Qin Clan's towns, those hunters naturally had to be more respectful to him.

Not to mention the power in the hands of the guards, even in terms of cultivation, Qin Shiliang is much higher than them.

Because among these people who depend on hunting for a living, once they break through to Ming Jin, they will choose to join the guards. Hunters who are still doing their jobs are very few masters of Ming Jin.

"Here we are, there is Tianyun City in front of us..." After walking for more than two hours, just as the sun was about to set, a city of Nuoda appeared in everyone's sight.

"This...is Tianyun City?" Looking at Tianyun City, which is about 600 meters away from him, Qin Feng was really shocked.

The whole city is about 20 meters high, standing in front of Qin Feng and others out of thin air. The huge city wall gives people a heavy feeling, and it is more majestic and majestic than the first pass in the world that Qin Feng has ever seen. .

The closer he was to the city wall, the stronger Qin Feng's feeling became. The city wall made of huge stone blocks showed a kind of vicissitudes and thickness of history.

"It's... so big..." Looking up at Tianyun City in the distance, Zhang Hu's mouth seemed to be stuffed with an egg, and he couldn't close it anymore.

"It's actually not that big."

Qin Shiliang sighed, and said: "I heard from the elders that the capital of Qin was even taller than it. The city gate was 30 meters high, and the inner wall inside the city wall could run five carriages side by side..."

As the radicals of this generation of the Qin family, people like Qin Shiliang always want to restore the glory of the Qin family in the past. Even if the Qin family was a vassal of the royal family at that time, their status was much higher than it is now.

"A city wall 30 meters high?"

Qin Feng was also taken aback when he heard the words. This is equivalent to a ten-story building in the outside world, but looking at the 20-meter-high city wall in front of him, Qin Shiliang must be telling lies.

"Huh? Is this a structure of stone and brick walls?"

The distance of 600 meters, that is, a few minutes, when he walked to the Tianyun City, Qin Feng couldn't help being stunned, because he found that the structure of these city walls was very similar to the Great Wall he had seen.

"Qin Shiliang, when was Tianyun City built?" Qin Feng looked back at Qin Shiliang and asked.

"According to the genealogy records, it should be during the Qin Dynasty."

Qin Shiliang said: "My Qin family was originally named Ying. After the first emperor ruled the world, he gathered the power of the whole country to build the Great Wall and the four cities here. It has been more than 2000 years?"

"What? Qin...Qin Shihuang? Was this built by Qin Shihuang?"

After hearing Qin Shiliang's words, Qin Feng was really stunned this time. Although he had guessed before, Qin Shihuang's surname was Ying instead of Qin. Unexpectedly, the Qin family here is really a descendant of Qin Shihuang.

However, Qin Feng couldn't help but believe it, because in ancient times, there were such generous people, and there was no one else except the eternal emperor.

"It's the first emperor..." Qin Shiliang frowned and corrected Qin Feng's words. Qin Shihuang was the first ancestor to them, and no one should blaspheme them.

"Okay, it's the first emperor, but...but what's going on?" Qin Feng's mind was a little confused, and he turned to look at Zhang Xiaotian, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Bo mention this matter.

"I don't know the specific origin of the Qin family either..." Zhang Bo smiled wryly and shook his head, he really didn't know these things.

Qin Shihuang has a history of more than 2000 years, and after the fall of the royal family of the capital of Qin, few people from the five major clans talked about these things. Now, except for the members of the Qin family, I am afraid that there are not many families with other surnames who know these past events.

"Haven't you heard the elders in your family talk about our first ancestor?"

Qin Shiliang glanced at Qin Feng suspiciously. According to the tradition of the Qin Clan, worshiping ancestors every year is indispensable. Could it be that Qin Feng is pretending to be a member of the Qin Clan?
Because Qin's life in the other four major clans is not very satisfactory now, and Qin's own method of identifying clan members, Qin Shiliang has never doubted Qin Feng's identity before.

But now that Qin Feng didn't know the history of the Qin family, Qin Shiliang had doubts in his heart, and the expression on his face was not so respectful.
