Mountains and seas can be flat

The battle lasted another day and night. Although Fang Zheng brought explosives and elite soldiers, there were two Bingfeng dragons who kept biting the python king.But there are just too many of them.The snake witch also commanded the slaves to put up a stubborn fight.Fang Zheng had to spend more explosives and arrows.

It's not that the group of snake witches didn't think about negotiating halfway.But Fang Zheng didn't want to give them a chance to bargain.This matter has been settled in his mind and cannot be exchanged as a political bargaining chip.As long as he avenged the invaders and captured and tortured them, he could still obtain the information he wanted.As for the rhetoric at both ends of the first mouse, it was useless to Fang Zheng.

As the balance of the battle gradually tilted, the python king began to flee.

Each python king has a slender bright golden copper chain tightening from seven inches below it.The snake witch controls a python king by pulling on the end of the golden copper chain.But this group attack, I don't know who came up with the ghostly idea.In order for the python kings to fully go to the lake to encircle Frozen End, their copper chains are tied end to end to other python kings, only one of which is the longest and thickest extends to the largest tent of the snake witch. people master.

It didn't go wrong at first.The python kings have been trained very well by the snake witch's copper chains. They have suffered from the pain of wearing the copper chains since they were very young. Will bleed again.But as long as they are pulled, they can still arouse the stress response of their brains.

Once the snake witch pulled the copper chain, the python king would go back to the camp and fight hard.However, many python kings were buried under the explosives one after another, the deafening noise brought more fear than copper chains, and they were also eaten by golden dragons, which were their most feared natural enemies.But at this time, part of the copper chain connecting the python kings was broken as they died, and the remaining python kings had a taste of freedom for the first time, and they all chose to escape.

Snake is a kind of cold-blooded creature. When encountering a strong enemy, it will release its nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

It's a pity that Bingfenglong doesn't allow them to escape.

And Fenglong's speed is as fast as lightning, shuttling among the snakes, if there is a python king on the periphery who wants to escape, he will quickly flash over and strangle it.Its speed is like a ray of golden wind flashing by.The two gluttonous dragons were sealed together, and they could still eat while twisting and biting, and their bodies grew up quickly.

Fang Zheng returned to the lake, and when the battle ended, seven or eight king pythons could be seen scattered with the naked eye, trapped in the marsh by the water, and seemed afraid to go ashore or dive into the lake.

In fact, even if there is only one python king, the visual effect is very scary. Fang Zheng sat on the speeding car of the Qigong tribe to see the whole picture of seven or eight of them gathered together.He searched for two everywhere and sealed the dragon and other python kings: more than 500 python kings surrounded the lake, counting those who escaped to the hot spring camp and were dragged down and eaten by the ice in the lake, it is conservatively estimated that there should be more than a hundred python kings , why there are only seven or eight left now.Where did the two little golden dragons go?

Fang Zheng's flying car trembled, probably because the two-headed colorful bird pulling the car was shocked.Those seven or eight snakes were not in a "natural" swamp, as the surrounding reeds swelled, the thick body gradually revealed below, unexpectedly surrounded the seven or eight python kings in the middle - and sealed the dragon Two chiseled, mud-dripping heads rose from the swamp: two golden protruding forked horns grew from each.A head big enough to swallow several python kings.Its body is thicker than that of a small elephant, with scales the size of a wheel emerging.The two coiled torsos are intertwined into smoke rings on the spiral coil, completely covering seven or eight python kings in the cage of their bodies.The tails of the two parallel dragons are connected together to form a sealed ring.

Immediately, Xiaobing lowered his head and sprayed a large mouthful of ice foam on the seven or eight python kings trapped in the center. Fang Zheng felt that the air temperature dropped suddenly when he was so far away.Those seven or eight python kings were instantly frozen into ice snakes as if they were sprayed by a quick-freezing hydraulic gun.

Then, the other one sealed the dragon with a small fire, turned its head and sprayed a scorching flame at the lump of "dried ice snake"—of course it did not thaw, and the pile of "dried snake" was burned into a puddle with no visible shape The meat paste, the water vapor evaporated and a lot of smoke came out.When the two Bingfenglong began to enjoy the snake soup, fresh flesh and blood would still flow out.

Fang Zheng almost fell off the speeding car with trembling, did they eat hundreds of python kings, and their bodies grew to the sum of them?I was so full that I started to play with quick-frozen and barbecue tricks.Fang Zheng commanded the speeding car to approach slowly, and the Qigong who was driving the speeding car was so scared that he peed his pants.Fang Zheng forced himself to be calm, and finally the speeding car and Fenglong were even.Fang Zheng stretched out his hand tentatively. Although his legs were shaking, his hand was as stable as possible.

Two Parallel Dragons rubbed against each other, their heads were already too big, and Fang Zheng's palm was like a sesame seed sticking to the surface of an egg.But they still seem to enjoy the little temperature.They also have faint traces of scales on their faces, which are thinner than those on their bodies.Fang Zheng felt the cold and slightly rough lines under his palm, and he began to stroke the heads of the two Bingfeng dragons up and down, and there was a soft and warm feeling under the skin on the face.Fang Zheng was a little guilty at first, but miraculously disappeared after approaching the two golden dragons.The two golden dragons looked at Fang Zheng very seriously, and then they fully supported their bodies from the mud, and their ring-shaped tails formed a natural base.The body can rise to a height of nearly 20 meters. If their bodies are fully unfolded, the length will exceed 50 meters.And the golden and white feathers on the two pairs of wings gradually grew longer, like two tassels falling behind them.

Fang Zheng hesitated and said, "Are you... still hungry?" Then he laughed again at this unnecessary worry.This is the first time he felt relaxed from the heart.When these two golden dragons were first born, they were so small that they could wrap around his fingers, held in his palm by him, and then spent most of his childhood around his neck.Fang Zheng knew that they were picky eaters, and they didn't even eat anything when they were young, and they could survive by drinking the wind.If they are legendary dragons with such a long lifespan, their feeding cycle should be much longer than that of humans, so that they are worthy of a long lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

Fang Zheng carefully climbed onto their heads from the flying car with odd arms, and Feng Long stood beside the flying car without moving. Fang Zheng climbed onto Xiao Huo's head first, and he could just sit in the middle of the light golden tree branch-shaped corner of the dragon's head .When Fang Zheng touched the dragon's horn, it was a bit like the moist feeling of a coral branch.Fang Zheng clenched his hands and just sat down, and Feng Long staggered and stretched out his huge body.Lifting their upper body, they moved forward side by side, pressing their giant lizard-like claws on the ground, and walked towards the lake step by step.Fang Zheng only felt that the bottom was shaking. Although it was a little bumpy, it was not violent.He noticed that under the two pairs of golden and white wings on the back of these two dragons, short feathers protruded from each. Maybe there are two pairs of wings under their bodies, which have not fully grown yet, and a pair of wings are temporarily supported. I can't afford their huge bodies that have exploded in a short period of time.

But even if you only walk on the ground, a height of ten meters is enough to see far away.They carried Fang Zheng all the way to the lake.Fang Zheng saw a huge shadow gradually appearing clearly under the abyss.Bingyi floated to the shore.

First, a long thing like a wooden pole emerged from the water surface, and then the water surface turned up half of the lake's flesh-red color, like a blood-red flesh lip opened, and then suddenly closed again.Spit out a bunch of people.Bingyi stretched out two sticky tentacles to touch the shore.The person floating in the water swam to the river with its tentacles coiled, and climbed up dripping wet.

Crowds of people kept digging out of Bingyi's inner cavity one after another, as well as the pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock they raised.The Chinese people looked very haggard. They scrambled up to the shore of the lake. Because they hadn't seen the sun for a long time, they covered their eyes and fainted for a long time.Soon, the shore of the lake was full of people.

They were stunned for a while, and they didn't react until they saw the broken limbs of snakes all over the ground, and finally repelled the invaders.They knelt on the ground in pain and kowtowed towards the lake.They raised their heads in the halo of the sunset, and saw Fang Zheng not far away, riding a giant double-headed golden dragon several times larger than the python king, and flying birds and warriors hovered in the nearby sky.The sight was like an unimaginable miracle.They come from different races and express their joy and excitement in different postures.They knocked their heads into the dirt, shouted Fang Zheng's name, burst into tears, cried and laughed.

Fang Zheng wanted to say something, but at that moment, he also choked up.Seeing the dense crowd below, it is roughly estimated that there are more than [-] Chinese people who survived.Most of the clansmen were able to survive such a tragic massacre war, Fang Zheng let the golden dragon cross to the lake, and as he watched, everyone prostrated on the ground facing the lake: Thank you Bingyi - that was in the tragic ten years In the sky, these weak human beings have never given up, protecting them from the attack of the python king, and guarding the homeland of Bingyi.Not only did it protect these people, it even caught a few king pythons and sent them into the inner cavity for them to eat.

Xiaohuo lowered his head, Fang Zheng climbed down the horned branches, came to the lake, and sincerely thanked Bingyi with those people.Huzhong suddenly raised a sticky big tentacles, signaling Fang Zheng to stand on that wrist.Fang Zheng let it entrust himself to the center of the lake.Bingyi digs out the deep part of the inner cavity, just like opening many drawers that fit tightly together, and the meat cavity inside is turned over layer after layer.It is buried deeper than the shellfish property that the Chinese once stored in it.A thin branch is exposed from the deepest part, about the length of a palm.There are three short roots below, tied with a few grains of blood-sucking soil, and above are two tender green leaves.

"Three Pearl Tree..." Fang Zheng trembled uncontrollably, and big tears rolled down his cheeks.He seemed to be able to see how this tree was roughly swept into the lake by the python king. Frozen End's tentacles were barely able to hold a fallen twig, and hid it in the deepest place in the fierce battle that had no time to distract. The safest place.

Fang Zheng remembered that when he and Zifeng were crossing the river in a small boat made of three-bead wood boards, Bingyi's arms and legs had gently touched the side of the boat, as if seeking some kind of shelter.Later, when Bingyi was guarded by the Chinese people day and night, it also surrounded the three-bead tree on the island in the middle of the lake.It's as if, thousands of years ago, I once received the blessing of this tree, making it nostalgic and unforgettable.But now the roles are reversed, Bing Yi carefully treasured that tiny twig, and now entrusts it to Fang Zheng for planting.

"I will definitely plant it well... let it bear fruit." Fang Zheng's heart was filled with gratitude and then a calm like frost and snow - how many years does it take for such a tree to grow up, blossom and bear fruit? Woolen cloth?

Can he wait all his life?

The Chinese people are prosperous, and Fang Zheng guides the remaining Chinese people to rebuild their homes.And later, in the central area of ​​Qinglongling with the most beautiful scenery and the largest number of people-at that time, Qinglongling had become a place where power and wealth gathered, and a monument carved on a stone tablet to commemorate the mass sacrifices stood.

Commemorating death in the most beautiful and most populous central area is because Fang Zheng hopes that everyone can remember that such a beautiful and prosperous life is accompanied by a fierce battle with the coveted invaders at the beginning.

A new system of power has been born.Fang Zheng thought about his direction thoroughly.If he wants to protect the prosperity under his rule, he must have the combat power that the ruler uses to protect this prosperity.The existence of surplus is protected by constant fighting.Even if he has to use ugly lies, deceit and disguise for this, even if the combat power he relies on will kill the enemy bloodily and brutally.

Before sending someone to investigate the return of the spies who flooded the Badian Kingdom, Fang Zheng focused his energy on interrogating the only survivor of the Snake Witch. More than 100 snake witches were all executed, leaving only the most prestigious snake witch who controlled the longest copper snake chain.There were more than 3000 Badian war slaves accompanying the army.Half of them were eaten by snakes on the road, and many were killed by explosives and Chinese soldiers. The remaining less than [-] people surrendered to Fang Zheng's camp under Jiao's persuasion.They are the new force in rebuilding the Chinese race.Fang Zheng immediately arranged for it to be used.

The snake witch was about forty years old, but he looked older than Elder Xuan Si and others.Fang Zheng instructed people to search him. He had various snake bite wounds all over his body.He carried some bone whistles, buckles of copper chains, and some white hemp roots that Badian used as currency (much like Gastrodia elata in later generations).

"Who told you to come? Why are there so many snakes here?" Fang Zheng interrogated him. He didn't execute the punishment at first, but used the method of stimulating the temple with bone needles to tell the truth.

The snake witch did not resist the bone needle, perhaps because he was old, and in his mechanical voice, Fang Zheng figured out the ins and outs.

The current monarch of Badian is called Shan Cong, which is similar to the naming method of "Silkworm Cong" in the later ancient Shu Kingdom that Fang Zheng sighed with emotion.Badian has been established for less than a hundred years, which is about the same time as the split of the Yu Dynasty.In the past, Badian was just a "barbarian state" in the southwest of the Yu Dynasty. Part of it came from the descendants of Chiyou, and later merged with other tribes in the southwest.Decades ago, the Yu Dynasty sent Meng Tu to manage them.But Badian has been secretly communicating with the enemies expelled by the Yu Dynasty.For example, Danzhu, the rebellious eldest son of Emperor Tao Tang, and Huandou, the exiled leader of the Sanmiao, all had contact with the natives of Badian.

When the Yu Dynasty split, there were endless wars. The wife of a chief priest among the native tribes of Badian was revered as the Saltwater Girl by the Badian people. She called on them to establish themselves as a country and stop being ruled by the Yu Dynasty.With the help of Huandou, the leader of the Three Miaos, the Saltwater Girl applied the oriental animal taming technique to the unique giant pythons in Ba, combined with the secret method of Chi You's descendants. After taming the pythons, she gained power and established a rule.

Badian ruled the country through sacrifice and inheritance, not a matrilineal society, and the salt water girl later returned the power to the eldest son.The art of controlling the python has also been passed down from generation to generation, and has become the foundation of the establishment of Badian.Pythons can effectively protect them from foreign enemies.Anyway, there was no more chaos.Even if slaves have to work hard, at least some of them don't need to be eaten by snakes, and they can survive safely.Badian has a warm and humid climate, abundant resources, and it is extremely easy to produce food.The power class will soon be more than sufficient to survive on the labor of others.In fact, the rudiments of all great powers were established from this.Then, priests, warriors, and priests all appeared one by one.

Shan Cong, the Lord of Badian, is the grandson of Shuiyan Nu. Now he is full of power. Since the first few war slave tribes and production tribes were used by Zifeng to sacrifice the big green dragon, he has been very concerned about this land where the secrets of the Sanmiao people are buried. heart.Later, a small self-governing tribe appeared in Qinglongling of the Chinese nationality. After Shancong found out the news, a rigorous investigation was carried out.After Fang Zhengyuan traveled to Zu Jiang and replaced the feminist regime, Shan Cong finally made up his mind - he realized very early on that if this son was not eliminated, it would be a catastrophe.His judgment was undoubtedly accurate, but he still underestimated Fang Zheng's strength - he did not hesitate to use his trump card to decisively eradicate Fang Zheng and the Huazu.

"How did you mobilize so many python kings at one time and rush over in such a short time?"

It is very difficult to mobilize more than 500 python kings. When Shan Cong discussed with Chief Snake Witch, they felt that the risk was too risky.But the Snake Witch has spent many years cultivating a scented fruit that snakes love to eat, and has made a new breakthrough.Cooperating with the copper chain and fragrant fruit, the Snake Witch Chief brought out more than 200 snakes from Wangyu overnight.Perhaps it is the mysterious group consciousness of snakes, or they have some large-scale long-distance scent transmission that humans cannot sense. Inspired, without the control of the snake witch, he came to join the army automatically.That's why the Chinese spies didn't get the news—the news didn't come from people.Surprised by the snake witches, they also followed the snake to the Chinese territory, thinking that it would be nice to witness the icing on the cake.Unexpectedly, they all died here in the end.

After figuring it out, Fang Zheng ordered the Snake Witch to be imprisoned, and went to visit Xiezhi who had just been released. King Xiezhi was locked in a narrow cage, almost unable to stand up again, and was very fragile.Fortunately, the water and fire springs they depended on have not dried up. The water in this spring is still independent and clear even though the nearby rivers are polluted with blood.At least the rest of their family can take a good rest next to them.Fang Zheng ordered to send a lot of Jiarong powder and other healing medicines to King Xiezhi.Many strange medicines were also collected from the snake witch's tent.Fang Zheng sent part of it back to the White Pagoda in Yaocheng for study by the star priests on it, and left part for Elder Xuansi and the others to study and use.

The reconstruction work of the Chinese people was carried out in an orderly manner, but Fang Zheng was full of vengeful anger in his heart. He listened to the spies sent by the flying car and reported the news again and again-the flood broke out in Badian, but the terrain of Xiuling is not high. , but the water level of a river has been lower than it, so the flood has been washed down temporarily.But Wangyu near Xiuling was very miserable.Moreover, if it is flooded for a few more days, the city will soon be unable to withstand it.All the people and animals near Xiuling rushed to take refuge, and chaos broke out in the city.

Fang Zheng couldn't bear it for a moment when he heard it, he repelled the spies, and walked back and forth irritably.In the end, he made up his mind and decided to send troops to fly to the city tomorrow to throw explosives until Lord Badian surrendered.He had ordered someone to peel off the remaining skin of the python king that Xiaobing Xiaohuo hadn't had time to eat, and sent it to the mountain clump together.

Said it was waiting for the surrender, but Fang Zheng had already seen clearly that the power of the Python King disappeared, and Badian had nothing to suppress the slave riots and resistance.The ruling power of the monarch of Badian has disappeared.More importantly, Fang Zheng was thinking about how to use those slaves for him and how to arrange them...

Fang Zheng suddenly heard a noise outside, and he poked his head out with excitement in his heart, only to see the blades of grass shaking slightly.But just now his senses really noticed a trace of familiar aura.Fang Zheng turned his head around and asked tremblingly, "Xiaofeng? Xiaofeng? Is that you?"

No one responded, and there was still only the monotonous rattling of vegetation all around.Fang Zheng turned around in disappointment, and walked back to the room from the window wearily.Most of the Chinese people are still building their homes in full swing, and everyone has to work, so there is no spare power to declare any ruling hierarchy.There are only a dozen soldiers guarding Fang Zheng's vicinity, and he has sent out more to patrol and guard.But he was not afraid, because the two conjoined golden dragons were sleeping on the mountain behind him—Puniu had already moved to another place, and he also survived in Fingyi's stomach, and at first he manipulated the little bugs to bite him. One or two python kings died, but ever since he saw the golden dragon, he wondered if it reminded him of his underground ancestor, the corpse beetle Da Qinglong. In awe and curiosity, he built a volcanic ash house not far away, and decided to observe for a long time.

A little fluffy thing jumped into Fang Zheng's arms suddenly, it turned out to be the little purple spirit, there was a gap in its big beautiful tail, Fang Zheng suspected that it was injured by the python king because of too much discharge.Fang Zheng laughed and burst into tears, "So it's you...you're still alive, that's great." He stroked the fur of the spirit, which purred comfortably in Fang Zheng's arms.Fang Zheng looked out of the window, and unexpectedly, the monkey-like beast was not dead. The old monkey hung its tail on the tree outside the window, swaying unsteadily, and still acted as its "little follower".For a moment, Fang Zheng was full of emotions, and time seemed to be reversed. Qinglongling was still that little Taoyuan, and no one had discovered it...

Fang Zheng hugged the coyote for a while, then it suddenly raised its tail and broke free, and jumped out of the window.Fang Zheng wanted to hug him for a while, but it and the old monkey ran away quickly.Fang Zheng laughed and withdrew his hand from the window, turned his back to the window, shook his head and smiled wryly.

His house was already in a mess by the Python King. Fang Zheng didn't have to do it himself now, he already had the power, and he ordered someone to restore the former house for him without consuming more labor.But the broken utensils in the house will not be able to get together for a while.He knelt down and picked up a pink-white peony petal in a daze—the few clumps of peony flowers were also crushed.I don't know if they have any seeds left...

Fang Zheng suddenly heard a faint sound again, and suddenly turned around: "Xiaofeng!?"

But the surrounding area was still empty.Fang Zheng thought dejectedly, he can't be distracted to find Zifeng now, it's useless to find it, the fruit of the three bead tree can't grow overnight.Even if he ventured into the Shoutong Mountain, Zifeng was still locked in the black stone pillar that he couldn't break, and he lost his mind.He can neither rescue him, nor communicate with him...

But why does he always vaguely feel that Zifeng is near him?Fang Zheng held his forehead, did he worry about too many things recently, and he was delusional?
