Mountains and seas can be flat

This is indeed a child adopted by Ehuang Nvying who "lived in seclusion" on the Yuyi border.With complicated expressions, they asked Fang to enter the wooden building and removed the slave guards.Fang Zheng noticed that there are also many mechanism devices in the wooden building, and there are many exquisite small mechanisms in conjunction with the earliest gossip.If Fang Zheng forced his way in, he would probably have to shed a layer of skin.

It has been 60 years since the death of Ehuang and Nvying, but the two seem to be only in their twenties.Fang Zheng was full of doubts about this. With the man's wry smile, he told Fang Zheng a shocking fact——

They were approaching 70, but still looked and functioned like they were in their twenties.

They called Ehuang Nvying mothers, and Fang Zheng asked: "When your mother sailed into the abyss of Cangwu, did you also maintain the youthful appearance of more than 20 years old?"

They nodded slowly.

Fang Zheng asked in disbelief: "You guys, what kind of medicine are you taking?" Fang Zheng quickly thought of the reason why they lived in seclusion in Yuyi territory, and couldn't help but said: "What kind of Huangdi jade ointment from Shoutong Mountain, doesn't it really exist? "

When Ehuang and Nvying were alive, the huge Yu Dynasty had not yet been divided, and the Shoutong Mountain also belonged to the sphere of influence of Emperor Yao Yu. If there is really a magic medicine for the Yellow Emperor to eat jade, then it is not surprising that they, as monarchs and concubines, can get it .

The man and the woman considered making eye contact, and finally said: "We can't tell you the reason now. Although you hold the Chonghua Sword, these things...we don't want to tell anyone for the time being."

Fang Zheng did not give up, but since the other party refused to answer, he changed the direction and detoured, "How do you feel about your body after living for so long? Will you get sick like normal people? Will you die when you reach a certain age?"

He asked very straightforwardly, and if you follow the complicated etiquette standards of later generations, it would not be very polite.But Fang Zheng checked his words and felt that the upper limit of tolerance for these two people was very high, so he asked a little more presumptuously.

"The body is about the same as when I was 20 years old, and occasionally I get a little sick. But the end of my life..." The man smiled wryly, with a complicated expression conveying uncertain worries - he didn't know what the end was, and since he wanted to get there, Also afraid to get there.

These two people were not vigilant against Fang Zheng, because Fang Zheng told them the origin of the Emperor Sword, and Fang Zheng recognized those "gossips".They regarded Fang Zheng as half of their own.

Fang Zheng asked again, "You guys, do you know what is sealed in the emperor's tomb? There is also a statue in the Dengbei's tomb... Well, maybe she shouldn't be mentioned, she seems to have assassinated E Huang Nvying many times."

Fang Zheng didn't bother to sort out the grievances and hatreds of Emperor Yao Yu's concubines decades ago.But in fact, he was a little puzzled in the blink of an eye. This Ehuang Nvying did not have a biological heir, and the Dengbei family went back to Zu Jiang.There is neither competition nor threat between the two sides, so why kill them all?

"We have heard a little about the seal in the emperor's tomb." The man said worriedly, "In fact, it is not only the tomb of Emperor Yao Yu, but also Emperor Taotang, Emperor Ji, Emperor Gaoyang, and even Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Shennong, after the death of every emperor, there are rumors of something like a seal."

Fang Zheng suddenly thought of the words and phrases that flashed in the dream, the huge head in the Kunlun abyss, the strange theory of bionics of the patriarch of the strange arm, the narration of "flowers and dragons" by the head of the star sacrifice on the White Tower and the ancestor Jiang Daguo, Zifeng Degraded mind... The dark secrets shrouded in this land slowly peeled off a corner and revealed to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng's heart gradually sank, "Is the monster sealed in the emperor's tomb the blood of 'Flowers and Dragons'? No, I didn't mean that, I don't know if this expression is accurate-it's the kind of blood that may happen when it comes to an end change?" Fang Zheng said in a deep voice, "A person I am very close to seems to be affected by this. Although he miraculously maintained his life after being seriously injured, he became invulnerable and completely lost his mind."

The two men looked solemn, and finally sighed after a long while, "The only living blood so far...is Lian Zifeng. We have been living in Yuyi territory, and we know a little about why he was kicked out in the first place. The man groped for the old hole in the Tao Xun, "How much do you know about it?"

Fang Zheng recalled Zu Jiang's fear of being "not the same class", and said uncertainly, "I don't know much. It seems that he is not a human?"

"Yes, and no. Let me think about it, where should I start." The man and the woman made eye contact and looked at each other. "When my mother taught us, she said, 'There are always different divisions of labor in different eras' .We didn’t understand it at the time, and we didn’t understand it many years later. We don’t know if you can understand it.”

This sentence is very easy to understand for Fang Zheng who has received modern education, he nodded: "You continue to talk."

"A long time ago, earlier than the time of Nuwa Fuxi, earlier than the time of Huangdi Yandi, people at that time were not enlightened, and it was very different from the current world. There were no tribes, no kings, no slaves, no Parents, brothers, and no sacrifices. At that time, there were all kinds of...animals roaming the land. Many of them were very huge, and you can't see them today."

Fang Zheng nodded. In fact, putting aside myths, from the perspective of biological evolution, there was indeed a period in ancient times where animals were unusually large, but they all became extinct later.

"There are no records that we can recognize from that era. Even if there were, we would not be able to recognize them. Instead, there are various legends, and gradually there are myths such as the Nuwa Empress who created us. But in the oldest Huaxu tribe , kept some mysterious memories passed down by word of mouth. Later, the Huaxu people explored the skill of carving jade, carved them on jade, and buried them in the treasure house. Jade is immortal for thousands of years. Although the Huaxu people have been exterminated for a long time, People excavated their ruins and found some identifiable jade stones. These jade stones have been treasured and passed down among powerful tribes, Xuanyuan, Shennong, Gaoyang... many famous tribal leaders have obtained them. "

"Now these jades are kept in the central treasure house of Jiuding City of the Xiazhu people. They were entrusted to Qijun by Emperor Chongyu."

Fang Zheng asked: "What is engraved on those jade stones?"

The woman said: "There are a lot of content, involving the beliefs, culture, and living habits of the Huaxu people... But what really attracted the attention of many monarchs are some records about ancient giant creatures during the period before and after the appearance of 'human'."

"What are the records of giant creatures?"

"The huge war between them." The woman gasped, "It's really hard for us to imagine today, but the kings of the past dynasties don't know where to find circumstantial evidence—maybe they dug up huge bones separately, anyway they They all value the content on the jade, and don’t think it’s a story—those creatures fight each other, and they don’t overwhelm the mind and means of today’s human beings.”

Fang Zheng couldn't help muttering: "What huge animal?"

"Snakes, for example. The biggest snake today is in Badian, known as the python king, and it can grow several feet long. But that kind of snake is several times longer than the largest python king. The snake repair that was killed by Lord Yi at the beginning , is the only one left of that kind of snake, and it is not the size of its heyday. In that era, this kind of snake occupied rivers and lakes, and tigers and leopards had to detour. It is said that this kind of snake can live for hundreds of thousands of years, if not They have had so much internal friction in the war that they are still alive today."

"Another example is a bird. Now the phoenix in Yuyi is about two feet long, and its life span is between one and two hundred years. But at the beginning, a kind of phoenix could grow to the size of a mountainside, covering a small hill. The phoenix is The offspring of that kind of phoenix bird have bred with different groups of birds, and their body size has become much smaller."

"Another example is fish. Zu Jiang still has a small ichthyosaur called Ran Yi until today. But do you know how big the fish were long ago? There is an area called Ruoshui under Jianmu, which surrounds 3 feet, and above Ruoshui A circle bridge was built with fish skeletons, and [-] people could pass through it. But it was just a fish bone."

The man took a deep breath and sighed, "There's also... the dragon."

Two little golden dragons got their heads out of Fang Zheng's pockets, and blinked at the two with wide eyes.Fang Zheng pushed them back.The two little creatures didn't grow, and the two didn't know each other, so they thought they were two little lizards.

Fang Zheng said: "In Kunlun Mountain... there is an empty dragon's lair."

"Yes, it should be in the northernmost part of Kunlun Mountains, a place that no one can reach. But where there are hundreds of thousands of mountains, there must be dragon caves. In addition to Kunlun, there are several hundred thousand mountains in the world. Some dragon caves sank in the volcanic eruption. Very deep underground. Those dragons were all-powerful in ancient times, and people had no chance to see them. They were the leaders of those great wars. They may be smarter than humans today. It's a pity that almost all of them died in battle."

The sweat on Fang Zheng's palms gradually drenched: "In human mythology, the earliest ancestors are often related to dragons."

"The Bai people who live underground are more like monkeys. They are a completely different species from dragons. Why are they always inseparable from mythology?" The man said meaningfully, "In different eras, the division of labor is different. In ancient times The animals in the era were very huge, and dragons became their rulers, which is equivalent to the status of our monarchs today. According to the records of the Huaxu people, they formed a strict social life and occupied the entire land. But later, they fought less and less. In the long cycle, it is difficult for these animals to grow to maturity. A snake needs to grow for hundreds of years, a fish needs to grow for hundreds of years, and a dragon may need to multiply for tens of thousands of years... But in the vast They were consumed much faster than they were multiplied in the wars in which they were fought."

The man seemed to be at a loss for words, and the woman took up the conversation helplessly, "In short, these records are crazy, and we didn't believe them at first... When people are just ignorant, they are as pitiful as monkeys picking leftover fruits on the mountain. Yes. But I don’t know when, the dragon noticed that human beings are a weak species with strong vitality. Humans have a short life cycle, live in groups, divide labor and cooperate with each other, and take care of each other’s cubs... In the words of the Huaxu people’s jade: An attribute that 'those animals' lack, and desperately desire to have..."

Fang Zheng's heart sank slowly, only to hear the man's hoarse voice say, "I don't know what those dragons, snakes, birds and other huge animals did to people in ancient times... The records of Yushi say that it was a big battle. Many people were taken away, and the rest had to flee. There was no writing at that time, and this terrible memory was passed on by word of mouth. Hundreds of years later, the Huaxu tribe invented writing to record this past event. On the jade stone... the Huaxu family called themselves 'Flowers'. And 'Flowers and Dragons' are their references to this tragic past."

Fang Zheng thought that the earliest Huaxu family, in mythology, was the mother of Nuwa Fuxi. They all had the head of a man and the body of a snake, and they could live for thousands of years...

He asked with difficulty: "Those people who were taken away..."

The man shook his head: "I never came back. But since then, monsters with human heads and beast bodies began to appear on this land. The huge animals in ancient times have basically died in battle, or died naturally, or fell asleep. It won't wake up somewhere. But these things, every few decades, will always pop up one or two out of nowhere."

He took a deep breath and said the words that he didn't want to admit, "At the beginning, those things that were forced to be bred have not been completely eradicated. Therefore, every emperor must rack his brains to find a way to solve this problem left over from ancient times. .”

Fang Zheng finds it unbelievable, the difference between the size of human beings and those huge animals, how do they reproduce?But since dragons are equivalent to human ingenuity, will they have corresponding technology?

Fang Zheng was confused, and retorted: "But Zifeng, he looks normal. Why..."

"Thousands of years have passed," the man said hoarsely. "The ancient emperors killed those monsters like tricks. If they can't reproduce, they will be killed one day. I'm afraid of their blood. In the long years, we have mixed with us, and we still can't distinguish...Lian Zifeng looks normal on the outside. But we have lived with Yu Yi for decades, and we have heard rumors about him for a long time .A kid in his teens who hasn't taken any medicine, where did he get that fighting power? Why did Luanniao bless him? What will he look like at the end of his bloodline?"

Fang Zheng immediately asked: "But you, your life span is also very abnormal, why?!"

The man took a deep look at him, "We did eat some food, which was brought out by the mothers from the palace of the Yu Dynasty. The mother said that sooner or later, the division of labor will need to be changed - every emperor is trying his best to prolong the life of the people, The long lifespan and strong physical fitness of those huge animals are what we lack the most."

The woman said coldly: "They can take us away and find ways to make up for their disadvantages. Why can't we do the opposite? The leaders of the big tribes have been doing secret research for thousands of years. Naturally, they have some extensions in their hands. The medicine of longevity. What do you think Yijun killed the ten victims for in order to get something?"

Fang Zheng's breathing gradually became short of breath, and he was almost out of breath, struggling to digest everything that impacted the three views.
