Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 687 The Origin of Xirang
Mr. Fulong Qu Huaishang came to the residence of the military advisor of the Yu Yu Dynasty according to the map given by Emperor Yuliang, and sealed the clouds and looked around.

"This place should be Feng Yun Liumian. I just wonder what kind of person he is, as the military advisor of the Yu Yu Dynasty and the person who lives here?"

As Qu Huaishang walked along, he saw the unique scenery and the hidden art of Qimen Dunjia. He realized that the owner of this place was not an easy person to deal with.
"I am Qu Huaishang, Fulong of Beichuang. I have come to pay a visit to the military advisor in the name of Emperor Liang." Qu Huaishang introduced himself out of courtesy.

After a while, a girl with silver-white hair, black clothes and purple patterns came out and said to Qu Huaishang, "The master lets you in."

"Thank you." Qu Huaishang and the girl entered and saw a figure in the room, grinding ink and writing.

"Wait." The white-haired girl said these two words coldly to Qu Huaishang and left without giving Qu Huaishang any chance to speak.

Qu Huaishang understood that this must be a test from the master inside. Only by passing the test can he meet the person inside.

After thinking for a while, I came up with a solution.

Looking around, Qu Huaishang said, "I am Qu Huaishang, Fulong of Beichuang, and I am here to pay a visit to the military advisor of the Yuyu Dynasty."

Seeing that the figure reflected in the paper window still did not react, he continued to grind ink and write as usual.

Qu Huaishang then said to himself: "It seems that the military advisor likes calligraphy, and it is important to keep a calm mind. The military advisor has obviously reached the state of forgetting both the self and the world. Qu Huaishang really wants to see his style."

After saying this, he saw that the person inside the door still did not respond.

Qu Huaishang pushed the door open and walked out, and saw the full appearance of the chief military advisor of the Yu Yu Dynasty.

A woman with noble temperament, dressed mainly in purple and black, with black mandala patterns on her clothes and headdress, which blends well with her temperament and shows her perfect style.

Qu Huaishang came to the man, looked at the calligraphy on the desk, and exclaimed: "Well, good calligraphy, it is indeed good calligraphy. Dragons and phoenixes are flying and dancing, iron strokes and silver hooks. No wonder the young master is so obsessed with it."

Then, Qu Huaishang made a surprising move. He directly took away all the unwritten white papers on the desk in front of him, leaving nothing to write on.

The man didn't get angry when he saw there was no paper to write on. He just chuckled, "Ha~."

He put down the pen in his hand, stood up, picked up the black umbrella beside him, and said with a smile: "No wonder Emperor Liang sent you here."

After saying that, he called over the white-haired girl from before, "Fei Yan, you go down."

"Yes." The white-haired girl appeared again, but she was wearing an eye mask and did not look at anyone.

After receiving the order, the white-haired girl retreated

Qu Huaishang thought to himself, this woman has been protecting me from the beginning, and I didn't even notice it. If I had done anything bad just now, I'm afraid I would be beheaded now.

"My name is Yutian Jiuchen Miao Fengyun, nice to meet you, Mr. Fulong." Miao Fengyun formally announced his life.

Qu Huaishang, a prodigy who has learned all six arts, has naturally heard of Miao Fengyun's name. "He is the one who can control death. I hope you won't blame me for ruining your fun."

Miao Fengyun replied: "Since this is a deliberate test, there is naturally no interest in it. After sitting for a long time, please invite Mr. Fulong to come with me to the pavilion outside the house to drink tea and chat."

"The host has invited me, and Fu Long dares not refuse." The two of them stood up and went to the pavilion outside the house. On the stone table was a cup of fragrant tea that had been prepared long ago.

After some tea and casual chat, we got down to business.

Miao Fengyun directly pointed out the purpose of Qu Huaishang's visit, "Sir, the reason why you came to my Fengyun Liumian is probably for Xirang."

"To be honest, Fulong did come for Xirang." Qu Huaishang admitted directly.

Miao Fengyun refused and said, "If it is Xirang, I am afraid I will disappoint you. This item is extremely important to the Yuyu Dynasty and will never be loaned out."

Qu Huaishang was prepared for this and said, "Before Fu Long came, he knew in his heart that this was not a problem, but a deal."

"It's so easy to talk to you, sir." Miao Fengyun drank a cup of fragrant tea on the table and continued: "Sir, I believe you have some understanding of the characteristics of Xirang."

"From tiny things, they can become mountains."

Miao Fengyun explained the characteristics of Xirang in more detail, "Yes, once Xirang touches the ground, it will begin to expand. Just one centimeter (unit of weight, one thousandth of an ounce) of Xirang can form a thousand-foot high peak, or a hundred-mile plain."

Upon hearing this, Qu Huaishang felt that Xirang was a substance for repairing the pillars of God. "If it weren't for this property, it would be difficult to repair the pillars of God."

"It was precisely because of Xirang that Emperor Liang did not hesitate to launch a war of annihilation and destroyed the powerful Saint Lion Dynasty in the Western Regions in one fell swoop."

Qu Huaishang had never expected that the Holy Lion Dynasty was destroyed because of Xirang. "I thought your lord destroyed the Holy Lion Dynasty in order to expand the territory. I didn't expect it to be for a treasure."

Miao Fengyun revealed the details. "The Holy Lion Dynasty was originally the Lion Kingdom. They were a nomadic people who lived in the north of the original Holy Lion Dynasty. It was a desert wasteland. There was yellow sand for thousands of miles and no grass. It was not until the Helan Dynasty in the south was destroyed that it was officially stabilized and the Holy Lion Dynasty that dominated the Western Regions was established. The key to the Lion Kingdom's ability to hold out against the Helan Dynasty for so long was the Xirang. Xirang could create a fertile land suitable for farming in the desert. Therefore, the rulers of the Lion Kingdom in successive generations have cherished and used Xirang."

"No wonder the Holy Lion Dynasty regards Xirang as the most precious treasure of the country."

Miao Fengyun changed the subject, "But all this changed after the conquest of the Helan Dynasty. After obtaining the fertile land of the Helan Dynasty, the Lion Country no longer used Xiran. This is not a blessing for Xiwulin."

Qu Huaishang didn't understand, "Why?"

"Because the Lion Country stopped using the soil in the desert, the terrain that could have blocked the wind and sand disappeared. The air currents swept up the wind and sand, forming a storm that was swept into the sky. The sand and dust fell directly into the West Wulin territory with the flow of the high-altitude air currents. Every year between March and April, West Wulin suffers from wind and sand disasters that last for as short as seven or eight days, or as long as ten days. This has seriously affected agricultural planting within the dynasty. That is why Emperor Liang attacked the Holy Lion Dynasty without stopping after unifying West Wulin."

After listening to the whole story of the rise and fall of the Holy Lion Dynasty, Qu Huaishang couldn't help but sigh: "The Lion Kingdom became strong because of the Xiran, and it conquered the Helan Dynasty and became powerful. But it was destroyed because it didn't use the Xiran. It is really a cycle of cause and effect, and it is not something that others can explain."

Then, he said seriously: "But three of the four pillars have been destroyed. If the four pillars are gone, how can the Yu Yu Dynasty survive? Only by completing the divine pillars can the Yu Yu Dynasty last forever."

"It is indeed terrible that the surroundings are collapsing and the land of China is sinking. But the Yu Yu Dynasty has Xirang, so it has nothing to fear. Because the dynasty can completely use Xirang to recreate a piece of land. Moreover, Xirang is related to the dynasty's millennium strike. My emperor has already begun to use Xirang to plant trees in the desert of the former Lion Country to completely eliminate the harm of wind and sand to the people of the dynasty."

Having said this, Qu Huaishang naturally understood Miao Fengyun's intention, "I understand what you mean, sir. I wonder what we can do to make the dynasty give up Xirang?"

"A few days ago, according to the report from the national master after surveying the earth veins, if it were not for the Ziyao Dynasty to stabilize the earth veins of Shenzhou, I am afraid that our dynasty would have suffered heavy losses in the disaster of heaven and earth after the Shenzhou was cut off. After all, our dynasty owes a debt to the Ziyao Dynasty that rules the Central Plains."

"From what you said, sir, your dynasty is planning to give up Xirang."
