Chapter 304: The Age of Martial Saint, Daxin Is Online
Unfortunately, the eldest sister is the one who is most favored by the old father and mother, so Xiong Xiaoxiao has no place to appeal.
Moreover, as the old father and his family moved into the Xiantian Plain, Xiong Xiaoxiao also traveled around, and the intervals between visits to his family gradually lengthened.
From once every one or two years at the beginning to once every three to five years now.
The only thing that makes Xiong Xiaoxiao feel at ease is that his parents and brothers are living well in the Xiantian Plain, and their strength is improving rapidly. They look younger after living there for decades.
Even the worst eldest brother has successfully been promoted to Wu Zong, and his life span can be expected to be 150 years.
The old father Xiong, Xiong Wangshi, and Xiong Er have been promoted to Wu Zun, and their life span is 200 years, so they still have at least 70 to 80 years to live.
No wonder no new offspring can be born in the Xiantian Plain.
If everyone starts at the second round, and Wu Zong Wu Zun can also slowly grind up, then no matter how big the Xiantian Plain is, it can't support these people who can easily live for 100 or 200 years.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiong Xiaoxiao made up his mind to come out and make a living.
Whether it is Yulong Fudi or Xiantian Plain, life inside is too comfortable and peaceful, and it is really not suitable for young people.
Fortunately, most of the descendants of Xiongjia Village are still living outside, and they are on good terms with Taiping City and Bihai City.
Xiong Xiaoxiao can find "organizations" everywhere in Dawu.
For example, in Shennong City in Shennong Forest, this bamboo building is the base of the Xiongjia Village people, most of whom are relatives of Xiong Laodi within the five generations.
Her return here is not much different from going home.
But as the young aunt of the Xiong family, this only counts the fourth generation of Xiong who are married and have children.
Their children are the fifth generation of Xiong, and many of them are already fourteen years old, all of whom are Xiong Xiaoxiao's great-grandchildren.
Whenever thinking about this, Xiong Xiaoxiao feels that the world is like tides and people are like water, and she always feels that she is getting old.
However, her eldest sister Xiaoman sent messages many times in the past few years, asking her to go to Xiantian Plain before she is promoted to Martial Saint.
The life span of a Martial Saint is five hundred years old, but Xiong Xiaoxiao is not yet a hundred years old.
Once promoted, she will still be the young little sister of the Xiong family.
Well, this can be seen from the fact that Xiaoman, who is more than ten years older than her, is still as "bear-hearted" as before.
The round-faced niece knew the habits of her little aunt, and regardless of whether she was distracted, she talked about all kinds of news she had heard: "I heard from a martial master in the East China Sea that the Lord of the East China Sea, Li Chengfeng, failed to be promoted to the Martial Saint not long ago, and has decided to go to Beimo City to pay homage to the Northern Emperor."
"It was the former Lord of Nanye, Shen Cuishan, who was sensible and realized that he had no hope of promotion, and he had already surrendered to the North."
A young man next to him couldn't help but interrupt: "Wasn't Bai Wanchun, the former Lord of the Western Wasteland, smarter? He directly announced that his family would withdraw and handed over the Western Wasteland to Taiping City."
The round-faced girl couldn't help but stare at him: "More than half of the Western Wasteland is within the scope of Taiping City. If he doesn't withdraw, he can only leave a small half, and he has to go with the immigrants. ”
Another young man couldn't help but join in: "What can we do? If you don't become a martial saint, you still occupy such a large piece of land. Isn't it waiting for your whole family to be killed?"
Some of the partners immediately expressed different opinions: "You are just exaggerating. As long as they insist that they are sincere, who dares to kill his whole family?"
The former immediately retorted: "If you are really sincere, then don't do some weird things. If you can't do it yourself, let others do it. What's the ability to occupy the toilet without shitting?"
This remark led to a burst of laughter, and someone immediately made a clever move: "Well, Erwazi has grown up. The throne of the king is just squatting in your place? Isn't being the king equal to shitting?"
Everyone laughed even more.
Nowadays, the people are not afraid of gossiping about the middle and high-level people. Many people know the third-round strongmen, and they still eat and shit. The king is really nothing.
Of course, except Su Yulou who has been promoted to the Northern Emperor.
This man has been fighting against demons and ghosts, protecting the country and the people, and has made countless merits. People will not put him on the same level as the other three former kings, which would be too derogatory to the character and reputation of the Northern Emperor.
The three kings of the East, South and West are still good. Few people in the former Dawu royal family Zhao family will bother to remember them now.
After many communications and tests, and after getting clear statements from Taiping City and Bihai City, Su Yulou finally ascended the throne as emperor in the 550th year of Dawu, named Daxin, which means rebirth after disaster.
Now, it has been 50 years of Daxin.
As the saying goes, the wind and rain will always blow away the wind and rain, and the three changes in the sky that year have become a series of records in history books.
There are fewer and fewer old people who survived the Dawu years, and most young people don’t even know what the last emperor of the Zhao family is called, and only call him "the last one of the Zhao family".
The most frequently mentioned topic of the Zhao family is probably "thinking about the past", and it basically appears together with words such as "not enough to eat", "not warm enough to wear", and "corrupt officials".
Nowadays, the people say "our Dawu" instead of "our Daxin".
As for the rulers under Daxin, there are fewer and fewer, and Donghai Kingdom is the last one to persist.
Now the largest state under Daxin is only the prefecture level, with a very clear superior-subordinate relationship.
Daxin does not manage these prefectures strictly, but will not give them the power of "one country" to act arbitrarily.
Including Taiping City and Bihai City, they only occupy one state each, and are still nominally Daxin's territories.
As for how Su Yulou communicates with the two direct descendants of the immortal mountains in private, it will not be brought to the surface.
The small talk continued, even more heated than before: "Li Chengfeng has no chance, but the flying shuttle goddess should still have a chance. Her sword shuttle kills monsters like cutting melons and vegetables. It would be a pity if she doesn't become a martial saint."
"She is a woman, and her innate constitution is weaker. The difficulty of this level is probably no less than that of Li Chengfeng."
"Hehe, if we only look at the innate constitution, then it should be cattle and horses to become a saint, what do we need people for."
"You are arguing, right? I just said that the difficulty will be higher. I never said that it only depends on the constitution."
"Humph, if a woman can't do it, then why did the Black Mountain Martial Saint Li Xiuer successfully advance many years ago? And the general Su Yuqing is also a martial saint, isn't she also a woman. You just can't stand seeing others do well."
"Nonsense, I didn't. Well, by the way, the little girl will definitely be promoted to a martial saint."
At this point, everyone's voices subconsciously paused, and they all looked at Xiong Xiaoxiao.
Xiong Xiaoxiao heard their argument, but she was not upset. She just reached out and pointed at the two people who had just argued with each other: "You two are impatient and lack cultivation. From today on, practice for an extra hour every day and concentrate on polishing your blood."
After the live version of both sides were injured, everyone was scared and left decisively.
They had no right to question the young lady.
In fact, what the two people said just now was right. Xiong Xiaoxiao was indeed the one who was recognized as the most likely to break through to the Martial Saint in Xiongjia Village.
As Dawu became a thing of the past, Daxin has also existed for fifty years. The external environment has been greatly different, and it has the foundation for the birth of Martial Saints.
Therefore, in the past ten years, there have been Martial Saints in various places.
Except for Su Yulou and Li Xiuer who were promoted earlier, there are still several others.
Martial Lord is no longer the top force of martial artists, but the Martial Saints with a number of people approaching double digits.
In this case, who will be promoted to Martial Saint first has become a "hot spot" in recent years.
From high officials to ordinary people, this is the most frequently discussed topic on weekdays.
The "quasi-martial saint contestants" related to their own family are even more talked about.
Xiongjiacheng has always been a relatively insignificant and inconspicuous in the direct lineage of Xianshan. Most of the earliest villagers followed Xiong Laodi into the Xiantian Plain.
There is only one person who can be promoted to martial saint outside.
Therefore, her position in the relevant forces of Xiongjiacheng is very special.
Listening to the mutterings of everyone, Xiong Xiaoxiao was thoughtful: It seems that I should go back to visit my relatives, and by the way, ask my eldest sister, how my brother-in-law can help me break through the martial saint.
The impact of martial saint is not to the point of life and death, but the cases of hundreds of martial masters in Daxin in recent years have shown that the success rate is no more than 10%.
If you are well prepared, especially if you get some special treasure pills to protect your body foundation, you can only rest for a few years if you fail.
As long as your will is not shaken, you can do it a second time or even a third time.
Of course, the risks are also not small.
Those who can cultivate to the peak of Martial Honor and are one step away from Martial Saint are all gifted, and there is only one in ten thousand.
Ordinary people often fail, and it is no big deal to fail once.
Most of those who are striving for Martial Saint have never lost a few times in their lives, and they have made rapid progress in recent years, but they lost once at the most critical point.
One bad thing will be a lifelong psychological shadow.
This is not to say that strong strength and strong will can completely avoid it.
Many people are also the spokespersons of iron will in the eyes of others before they lose to the point of jumping off the building.
Xiong Xiaoxiao knows that she is very talented, at least she has an excellent start.
But she will not be arrogant and think that her talent will definitely surpass the geniuses of the same level, and she will not refuse to seek help.
Well, the eldest sister is indeed a little unreliable, but the brother-in-law has always been reliable.
After all, he is unreliable, and the eldest sister is a person who knows how many outrageous things she will do. After criticizing her eldest sister again, Xiong Xiaoxiao also made up her mind.
She planned to walk all the way back, enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and taste the food.
Although she has been traveling around these years, most of the time she has transited through the blessed land. She has spent more time in the monster world and has seen more monsters than living people.
So this time she will listen to her brother-in-law and enjoy this combination of work and rest.
…
The next day, Xiong Xiaoxiao embarked on the journey back to the south alone.
Shennong Forest is located in the monster world, and to the south is the former Far North Outer Realm.
This place did not belong to Dawu, but the Giant Stone Kingdom. Unfortunately, this country was completely destroyed by the people of Tianling Sect (female dry) and the weird creatures in the first time.
The residents of the Far North Outer Realm fled south to the North Desert and became extremely unwelcome "outsiders".
The reason is still Tianling Sect.
At the beginning, Tianling Sect developed the fastest in the Far North Outer Realm, and the identity and appearance of most of the high-level members of the sect were Far North Outer Clan.
Before the large-scale popularization of exotic food, Dawu did not have a good way to check every Far North Outer Clan.
Both the government and the people subconsciously regarded foreigners as potential destabilizing factors.
Later, when exotic food became popular, it was only for humans. It was completely useless for the Tianling followers who had the power of strange things to eat it.
Moreover, the blood and qi recovery provided by exotic food was very special, which was completely different from the general blood and qi fluctuations.
So a method of large-scale detection of monsters and spies was born, that is, to distribute some exotic food before entering the city and eat it on the spot.
Those who did not fluctuate were immediately caught and left to special masters for a second trial, so that no mistakes would be made and no doubts would be missed.
The living environment of the Far North foreigners in the Northern Desert Country has improved. At least they will not be mistaken for humans (females) at first sight.
As for daily discrimination, it is inevitable.
Human beings always have the nature of forming cliques and dividing mountains.
Not to mention that this happens when there is a difference in appearance, there are also regional discrimination and gender discrimination even if there is no difference in appearance.
The Far North foreigners who have completely lost their homeland are already very satisfied.
Until later, Saranzhu woke up and began to set up stalls with Gu Ke.
Later, the blessed land appeared, and she was also responsible for automatic transactions and personnel and material transfers.
Although she changed her job to "Fairy" in the later period, she only used mechanical prompts and no longer showed her face, but she showed up quite a lot at the beginning.
At least the middle and senior management of the One Court and Four Countries have always been clear that the fairy they trade with on a daily basis is Azhu, one of the four great fairies.
The character card she used also had an ordinary appearance, but the typical Far North foreign characteristics of blonde hair, blue eyes, tall and tall have not changed.
In this way, the targeted discrimination against the Far North foreigners was much less, at least no one dared to shout to capture and kill all the Far North foreigners.
They really have the courage, but they don't have the strength.
In recent years, the weather has gradually returned to stability, the temperature has risen a little, and the central area of Daxin has become more stable.
And this "stability" also means that there are no monsters in the central area, and the residents have lost a major way to make money.
Although many Far North foreigners have lived in the North Desert and the northern part of the courtyard for decades, they finally chose to return to their homeland to open up wasteland.
After many years of wars between monsters and humans, the Far North foreign area is not called sparsely populated, but there is no residential area at all.
Most of the people in the North Desert country have also moved to the two southeast countries, and a large amount of land is also barren.
Su Yulou encouraged the decision of the Far North foreigners and launched the construction plan of the Far North Star City.
Through the blessed land, several town groups were successfully laid out in the Far North foreign area.
During the busy farming season, people can live in the countryside and take care of the fields.
In winter, everyone can return to the blessed city and spend the winter together.
Although the average temperature in the Far North Outer Region is low and only one crop of food can be grown each year, the terrain is very open and flat.
Moreover, at lower temperatures, the purple wheat grown is more nutritious and tastes better.
Instead of growing purple wheat, you can also grow potatoes, which have huge yields, are easy to store, simple to process, and have a wide range of uses.
As long as people are willing to work hard, the land is almost unlimited, and it is no problem to harvest for two or three years.
Therefore, farming in the Far North Outer Region is really a very low-risk thing.
Planting a round of purple wheat and another round of potatoes can ensure that you will not go hungry for a few years.
After that, you can plant whichever is more valuable, such as rouge rice, soybeans, peanuts, yellow millet, black millet, etc.
Apart from being more tired and lonely during the busy farming season in the satellite town, there are almost no disadvantages.
