Chapter 138 Helplessness and ambition
Snowy land, Lingtian City.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the huge city gate. The coachman lifted the curtain and the falling clouds walked out of it.
To be precise, it should be a cart, because the one who pulled the cart was two snow apes three meters away.
The coachman moved the ladder and slowly walked down the shaft of the car.
He has not set foot on this ice-covered snowy land for many years, and he even felt a little strange in his heart.
Despite the severe cold seasons and the frozen year round, this is his home.
No matter how good Yuzhou City is or how prosperous Daliang is, it cannot replace the position of "home" in Shen Luoyun's heart.
The snowy land in the extreme north is the city of heaven, and I can see the world and let me do it.
This is the glory of the Ling clan and the ambition of the Lingtian clan.
Once upon a time, most of the land in the world was trembling under the feet of the Lingtian warrior.
But now, they can only hide here for thousands of years, so that the world has long forgotten their existence.
The snowy area in the extreme north is vast and even far greater than the wilderness in the southwest, but it is not suitable for human survival at all.
There is snow all year round and the cold seasons are severe. Not to mention plants, even animals are difficult to survive.
The snow ape and the snow eagle are the only two types of animals in the Lingtian clan, and they are also their feet and eyes.
Snow lotus and ice lotus are the only foods of the Lingtian tribe.
Lingtian City is surrounded by icebergs and frozen rivers. The terrain is the lowest place in the entire northern snowy area, and the cold wind is difficult to reach. Therefore, the temperature is relatively high, so the Lingtian people can barely survive.
On the snow peak of the glacier, the cold wind is like a knife. Once humans are on it, their flesh and blood will be frozen in an instant. Except for the snow ape and the two beasts, the snow eagle, are thick-skinned and hard-feathered, the rest of the creatures cannot survive at all.
The ice lotus grows on the snow peaks of the glacier. If you want to pick it, you can only domesticate these two animals and let them pick it back.
Ice lotus is circulating, its roots are lotus roots, lotus roots grow on snow peaks, and lotus leaves in glaciers.
Therefore, the root vines of the ice lotus are often hundreds or even thousands of feet long.
If you can break through the ice and snow, you will find that under the snow peaks of the glacier, there are roots that are like spider webs, as hard as steel.
Shen Luoyun stood in front of the city gate with his hands behind his back, looking at the glacier in the distance, and sighed in a low voice.
The city gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out quickly, crashed into the arms of the sinking clouds, and cried softly:
"My son, you're finally back!"
Chen Luoyun's eyes were red and he murmured in a low voice:
"Mom, the child is unfilial..."
After a while, he followed the beautiful woman to welcome the maid who came out of the city and whispered to Chen Luoyun:
"Young Master, let's go to the city first, the master is still waiting for you."
Hearing this, the beautiful woman immediately struggled out of the falling clouds' arms, her eyebrows were raised and she shouted in a delicate voice:
"So what? Let him wait first!"
Chen Luoyun smiled bitterly on his face, and waved his hand to the maid without any trace, signaling her to stop talking.
He knows his own mother's temper and nature very well. He is naturally arrogant and has become much softer since he married his father Chen Ba.
However, it must be under the premise that no one messed with her.
As the lord of a city and the leader of a clan, Chen Ba has always been the only one who has ever seen it. He glared at his eyes and his eyes were powerful. Even the elders who had experienced seniority in the clan would shrink their necks when they saw it, but this wife never bought it.
Chen Luoyun's mother is named Kong Biluo, and she is the daughter of the lord of Lingyun City among the nine sub-cities.
The Lingtian clan has ten surnames, the sun is the most important and the empty one is the second.
Two thousand years ago, the snowy area in the extreme north was not so cold; there were ten tribes living on it, and there were occasional wars between them.
At that time, the leader of the Lingtian clan, Chen Tiannan, was ambitious and unwilling to let go of the clan members who lived in this snowy wasteland for a long time. In ten years, they conquered the ten tribes of the snowy area one by one, assigned to the Lingtian clan, and lived in ten cities.
Lingtian City is the main one, Tianxue City is the second, followed by Bingfeng, Duanyu, Qihan, Lengyan, Baiyu, Bibo, Jingchuan, and Hanfeng.
After unifying the ten tribes in the snowy area, Chen Tiannan began to fight outside. In just a hundred years, most of the sky was placed in the Lingtian territory.
However, the good times did not last long. An army in the eastern region emerged and completely defeated the Lingtian clan army with thunder until it forced it to retreat to the snowy area in the north. One out of ten troops was completely lost, and the possibility of counterattack was completely lost.
According to the history of the Lingtian clan, those people in the Eastern Region were tall, with a thousand pounds of strength, and rode a horse and held a knife, and were invincible. The Lingtian army could not resist it at all.
Since then, the Lingtian clan has no ability to take a step out of the snowy land, and has never heard of the soldiers from the Eastern Region being conquered again, as if they had disappeared out of thin air and there was no news.
After that, the environment in the snowy area became increasingly harsh, and the temperature dropped, making it increasingly difficult to survive.
However, during that battle, almost all the adult men of the Lingtian clan died in battle and were unable to fight again. They could only retreat here and survive and rest.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the ten races have long been integrated, and bloodlines coexist, making it difficult to distinguish each other.
Although Kong Biluo was born as a daughter, she was beautiful; her personality was extremely hot, and her martial arts skills were not inferior to her husband Chen Ba.
When Chen Ba sent Chen Luoyun to the Central Plains, although Kong Biluo did not object to the surface, he closed the door and beat Chen Ba severely.
After Chen Luoyun took over Lingtian Pavilion, he did not embarrass Chen Ba. In decades, Lingtian Pavilion became the first financial commerce force in the Central Plains, laying a solid financial foundation for the Lingtian clan to send troops again.
This time, Chen Ba recalled him, and was preparing to raise an army to fight.
After seeing Chen Ba, Chen Luoyun once again explained the current situation of Daliang again.
Now Lingtian City is enough to defeat Daliang, but Chen Ba still dares not raise an army rashly.
Because since the Lingtian tribe was forced to retreat to the extreme north snowy area, there has been no news from the six directions of the East, Northeast, Southeast, Western, Northwest, and Southland.
Moreover, as far as he knows, the desolate mountain between the Central Plains where Daliang is located and the southwest wilderness did not exist.
If the army rashly rises, if there are actions in the other six directions, the trace of vitality that the Lingtian clan has just recovered may be greatly damaged again.
If so, with the temperature that the snowy areas in the extreme north are declining every year, it is probably impossible to give the Lingtian clan a chance to recuperate.
The most important thing is food scarcity.
That is why Chen Ba couldn't wait to summon Chen Luoyun back after receiving the news about Liu Wei.
Regarding Liu Wei, Chen Luoyun knew more than what he did in Yuzhou City.
Since the name of "ghost doctor" has risen rapidly in the world, Chen Luoyun has begun to pay attention to Liu Wei.
From the spiritual plantation in Tianluoshan to improving strength for disciples and disciples who joined Qiankun Hall, everything is clear.
What he really liked was Liu Wei's ability to cultivate those plants.
If the Lingtian clan could get Liu Wei, then the food problem might be solved; in that case, they would no longer have to worry too much and would be able to fight against the enemy!
At night, Chen Ba called Chen Luoyun to his room, and then asked in a low voice:
"Yun'er, have you seen this person's ability with your own eyes?"
Shen Luoyun showed a hesitant look on his face, and he slowly shook his head:
Chapter completed!
