Mountains and seas can be flat

The night before the "Yao Banquet" started, a guard came to the Jinqiu Forest Garden to inform Fang Zheng about the process of the Yao Banquet.Fang Zheng opened the door with vigilance, and watched the guard holding a large plate of dazzling things.

"Please wear it tomorrow." She said blankly.

Fang Zheng didn't take it directly with his hands: "What is this?"

At first glance, there were bones, teeth, some jade and small pottery fragments on the plate.The guard said: "The bone chain, only invited guests can wear it. Please don't... let it be taken away by others."

The Yao Banquet takes a long time, and it is rare to leave the banquet to deal with private matters in the middle.This bone chain became the only proof of entry and exit.There are also tribal members who wear it in turn, so that relatives can also feast their eyes.But the Yao Banquet is full of experienced warriors of various ethnic groups. They can identify the strong and the weak, and if they don't pay attention, the bone chain will be taken away by violence.Zu Jiang guards will not care.

Fang Zheng took a piece of cloth to cover the bone chain before picking it up.The guard couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Are you afraid of getting your hands dirty?"

She didn't come to provoke, but most of the guards in Jinqiu Forest Garden looked down upon others.She didn't know about Fang Zheng's previous conflicts with those Gaoxin women, and simply thought that Fang Zheng was a poor little leader.

Fang Zheng stepped back a little, smiled and said, "No, I just show respect for your treasures."

Following Fang Zheng's slightly staggered figure, the guard saw in astonishment that in the small courtyard behind Fang Zheng, there was actually a complete piece of purple-black mastiff skin hanging, only a small piece of hind leg was missing.A purple-black mastiff head with closed eyes was placed on the table.

The guard's heart was full of turmoil—isn't that the top beast "Maru" of the Gaoxin family?The purple-black fur is very rare, and they were all deeply impressed by this cunning and mighty beast.

It was actually skinned by this little chief?Gao Xin's family didn't kill him immediately?

The guard's feet softened, his expression suddenly changed, and he said tremblingly: "You, you..."

Amidst her confused words, Fang Zheng politely closed the courtyard door, leaving her in a mess behind that door.Fang Zheng looked at the bone chain supported on the white cloth, took a bucket of melted snow water, and threw the bone chain down.

As the bone chain fell, tiny air bubbles appeared.This confirmed Fang Zheng's speculation: some bone fragments and jade blocks are hollow in the middle.

Hollow means that things can be hidden.

It doesn't have to be poison, Fang Zheng thought, every time there are so many fights at the Yao Banquet, is it really due to belligerence?Although it is not enough to kill people, but adding a little nerve-stimulating powder, those Zujiang women can do it.

Fang Zheng soaked the bone chain in snow water, and the water turned slightly yellow after a while. Fang Zheng changed several buckets of water, and went to ask for a lot of water. After soaking for a long time, the color of the water became clear.

Fang Zheng put the bone chain on the upper of the cowhide shoes, keeping it away from his mouth and nose, just in case.Then he walked out of Jinqiu Forest Garden. Along the way, he saw many tribal leaders dispatched.They were heavily armed and menacing.

There were guards guiding the intersection along the way, and they looked at Fang Zheng subtly, especially for the way he wrapped the bone chain around his shoes.

"It's better to hang it around your neck." Someone couldn't help reminding Fang Zheng.

"I'm happy." Fang Zheng said lightly.Immediately, other guards chattered and whispered something to each other, and they cast awe-inspiring and confused gazes at each other.

The outfit is so shabby, the style is so weird, but it has the ability to be so strong that it is abnormal.The leader of the Chinese tribe is a mystery.

Along the way, many strange tribal leaders were recruited: someone was covered in burning coals, with a pair of goose wings stuck to his back, feathers floating everywhere, they were from the Yu nationality; There is also one, as if their bodies were pierced, which is called the Chest, and it is their weapon; some have very large hats on their heads, which almost cover their eyes, and they are said to be called "Headless people" are not really headless, but their custom is to make their hats much larger than their heads.There are also tribes leading huge white bears. It is said that they are the hairy people in the extremely cold north.

There were more than one hundred tribal chiefs who came to participate this time. Including their relatives, nearly a thousand people lived in Jinqiu Forest Garden.Fang Zheng didn't look carefully at the faces of many people, he was dazzled and wished he had six eyes.

The Yao Banquet is located near the Jinqiu Forest Garden, which was originally a simple and beautiful square.The four sides of the square are engraved with images of twelve stars and beasts.The gods believed by the Zujiang people are guided by the stars. There are twelve main stars and twelve star priests, corresponding to twelve kinds of animals: poodle, otter, yak, tiger, bear, elephant, fish, fox, gu carving, King Kong bird , There are two other animals that Fang Zheng does not know, one looks like a huge cat, and the other looks like some kind of swordfish, maybe some ancient creature.

Usually the square is a gathering place for them to dry millet or exchange items, but now it has been arranged into a grand banquet venue.More than one hundred long wooden tables are all made of high-quality cypress wood.There are hundreds of Zu Jiang women surrounding the square.At the moment, the maids of cloth cabbage shuttled among them.They served each table with a neat set of wine vessels, various cups, jue, wine, and Yi... There are also large plates for eating meat, containers for stacking fruits...

Around the square, there is a cordon of fully armed Zu Jiang guards.They are responsible for checking that guests are wearing bone chains.Only they and Zu Jiang's own women can enter.Others can only watch greedily from outside.

In front of all the long wooden tables, under the shadow of the tallest building near the circle of star reliefs, there is a high platform built of solid earth, on which there is a separate table, a set of wine vessels, and—to the horror of Fang Zheng Endless—a bed with curtains.

Immediately, Fang Zheng discovered that in the shadow under the relief, he did not know how many mats, gauze covers and animal skin mattresses were placed.The use is self-evident.

Zu Jiang, this open and sturdy custom.

Fang Zheng looked up at the largest relief building above the end of the square. It was taller than the twelve stars, and it was a sphere with thin golden lines radiating around it, like the sun.But there is another eye-like pattern in the middle of the sun.Fang Zheng observed with his eyesight that most of the reliefs were made of stone, but the pattern of sun eyes on it was made of gold and jade, shining brightly.

Fang Zheng couldn't help muttering to himself: "What the hell is that?"

"It is 'Tai Yi'. It is the origin of all things, the mother of all people, and the unification of heaven and earth." A clear female voice rang in Fang Zheng's ear, and Fang Zheng turned his head in surprise, but he didn't see anyone. A black figure disappeared into the crowd.

Fang Zheng's heart trembled—it was Chang Ling's voice just now!Fang Zheng thought that she died in the crash of the speeding car of the Qigong tribe, did she also survive?

Although Chang Ling is Zifeng's deputy in name, but in a sense, Chang Ling is the direct descendant of Kunxiu Camp compared to Zifeng who was airborne.She was originally designated as the successor of Empress Liuyun.She had deeper contact with the former commander and the lords of Zu Jiang.When Zifeng was inconvenient to speak, she conveyed many things on her behalf.

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, the patriarch of the Dog Feng also found Fang Zheng. He happily patted Fang Zheng's shoulder, making Fang Zheng unable to continue to identify Chang Ling's whereabouts.

"Brother, why are you hanging the bone chain on your feet? This thing is fragrant, and it smells like the woman Zu Jiang." The dog Feng patriarch still held the bone chain around his neck to sniff.

Fang Zheng stood a step away angrily and amusedly: "I advise you to take it off quickly and keep it away from your nose. Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Zu Jiang is hiding something in it?"

The man in the dog seal suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, brother is right. They are the most cunning and hateful!" He quickly took off the chain, and compared his feet worriedly—"But I don't wear cowhide like my brother Shoes, I’m barefoot and I can’t wear them.”

Fang Zheng was almost speechless to him, and his heart for mischief grew up: "You can tie it behind your waist, and it will be a memory of your dog brother."

The man with the dog seal also said sadly: "You are right, my dog ​​brother has no chance to enjoy happiness. I will drink a few more sips of wine for him." After that, he really tied the bone chain behind his waist, like a long dog a tail.Fang Zheng tried his best to hold back his smile, so he had to bend over and trot away, leaving the patriarch to circle around: "Brother? Where are you? Am I so good-looking?"

Fang Zheng walked around the square.Yao Banquet is not just a celebration for nobles.In places where there is no cordon around the square, many ordinary people also took this opportunity to exchange a lot of good things.Heroic tribal peoples and guests attending the Yao banquet will like those distinctive gadgets.They can get a lot of good things by taking the opportunity.

Fang Zheng searched for the sun-eye-like pattern everywhere, and finally found it at a straw weaving stall. The stall owner used grass leaves to weave a lot of square relief shapes, and weaved them into small baskets. The set of twelve Animals and stars, and small bamboo discs for the eyes of the sun.Fang Zheng asked: "How do I change this?"

Zu Jiang has no currency, and the exchange is based on demand.The stall owner asked, "What do you have in exchange?"

Fang Zheng grabbed a few small shells in Bingyi's stomach and asked, "This?"

The stall owner shook his head: "I can't use it. You can change it to something else."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, took off the bone chain from his feet, untied the thread in front of the stall owner, took off a turquoise on it, and fastened the bone chain again.The stall owner's eyes were straight: "You you you you—this thing can't—"

"Can't change?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.There are dozens of beads, jade, teeth, pottery fragments and other assorted ornaments on the bone chain, and it is hard to tell if one is missing.

The stall owner carefully observed the surroundings, but no guards noticed, and quickly swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, yes, hurry up, take whatever you want."

Any bead on this bone chain is enough for these common people to exchange grain for a month.She was so happy that she stuffed the beads into her bosom and covered them tightly, urging Fang Zheng to pick them out quickly.Fang Zheng only picked the small grass plate with sun eyes.The woman dumped all the small bamboo baskets on the stall forward, and then disappeared in an instant.

Fang Zheng was stunned, and he was going to ask what happened to the "Taiyi Pattern".But people were overjoyed, and went home for the New Year as if they had won 500 million yuan.A straw basket rolled to Fang Zheng's feet. It was a creature that Fang Zheng, who looked like a swordfish, could not recognize.Fang Zheng lifted it up and was looking at it, only to hear another voice beside him said calmly: "Taiyi and Yulong, who are you?"

Fang Zheng saw a woman wrapped in a white robe, with an indifferent expression and a charming voice, and behind her, there were several star sacrificers in white robes with obedient eyebrows and eyes, both men and women.

There were more than a dozen guards guarding the white-robed woman, and they reported, "My lord, this person is—"

"Don't make worldly noises, I can hear his real name." The woman in white robe approached Fang Zheng indifferently.Fang Zheng noticed that she walked quietly, and her feet seemed to be wrapped in a lot of silk.Fang Zheng frowned and recalled, and suddenly had the impression——

"You are the head of the Star Priest of the White Pagoda?" Fang Zheng remembered Lian Feng's words, that is, the brainwasher who only feeds saffron and venison to some star priests, and their souls are not clean.Fang Zheng thought it was a magic stick.

"Taiyi is on the left hand, and the ichthyosaur is on the right. There are bears and lynxes under their feet. They come from the south and return to the east." The chief star priest spoke in a godlike voice, "The black sword, the golden eyes, and the blue wings—ah!" She suddenly seemed to be burned, and her whole body twitched in pain. She looked at Fang Zheng's expression and became very frightened, but her words were even more incomprehensible-"Thousands of years! Thousands of years! Kill him! Throw him in the In the abyss of Kunlun Mountain!"

Fang Zheng saw the circle of soldiers and immediately surrounded him.Those male star priests supported the chief star priest, fed her clean water, and sang strange tunes to her.This belonged to Zu Jiang's mysticism, which made Fang Zheng very disgusted. This magic stick casually said killing people without any basis, and they seemed to really come to kill themselves.

"I'm a guest invited by your lord. Is the authority of the head priest above your lord?" Fang Zheng was eager to make a big fuss, the more chaos the better.

The guards froze for a moment, and a female star sacrificer stood up and said clearly: "That's because the Lord of the Kingdom doesn't know that you are such a monster!"

"What kind of monster am I?" Fang Zheng laughed angrily.

"The monster that was identified by our Star Priest should be thrown into the abyss!"
