Mountains and seas can be flat

In the early morning before dawn, a gauze-like fog hangs over the back of Qinglongling.Most of the people are still sleeping in a sweet dream, but Fang Zheng is an exception.He hadn't slept all night.The whitening outline outside the mountain is like the remnant mountains and rivers with splashed ink.He walked to the back hill where Bingfeng Jinlong lived. They felt Fang Zheng's breath, opened their wet eyes and looked at him in a daze. Their heads were put on each other, and a large piece of grass was wet with their exhaled breath.

"Go and look around Yu Yi today. Don't come back too early...and don't come back too late." Fang Zheng said sadly, reaching out to touch the dragon's horns that were lowered and rubbed in front of him.Fang Zheng didn't know if the two golden dragons were aware of Zifeng's existence.Every time Zifeng deliberately avoided these two golden dragons and left early.Never met.As two dragons, Fang Zheng raises them too carefree, they are always happy to eat and sleep, and they will go wherever Fang Zheng tells them to go.It's not like there are many advanced complex emotions.Or maybe, in the long lifespan of these two golden dragons, they are now only equivalent to babies, and they are not taught by the dragon beast elders, but they are raised by Fang Zheng, so they are naturally ignorant of the world and rules over there.

Lian Zifeng is different. He grew up in the human world and his mind has matured.The blood of the other half is suddenly awakened. What he shares is the tens of thousands of years of cruel wars, wars, and the history of plundering and enslaving human beings. It's completely different.

When Fang Zheng first came to the great country of mountains and seas, the ignorant Zifeng he met was brainwashed by the slave system since he was a child, and he did not regard human life as a human being, but he still listened to Fang Zheng's persuasive preaching, because he was naturally able to understand human emotions.Fang Zheng's hand stroked the huge scales on the golden dragon's belly. What about this ancient and powerful creature that is almost extinct now?Can it be educated?

As Fang Zheng thought about it, many doubtful thoughts suddenly arose: they have a long lifespan, great strength, and embrace wisdom. They have all the hotbeds for incubating civilization, but why there is no trace of civilization.The ruins of Jianmu and other places mentioned by Zifeng were also built by the Huaxu people driven by dragon beasts, and they were obviously influenced by humans.Fang Zheng vaguely felt that this question was very important, but he couldn't think of something.What he doesn't know is that curiosity is the first step to understanding, and for thousands of years, human beings living in fear pay more attention to how to survive and develop themselves, and never have a deep understanding of the enemy.The barrier of inability to communicate has become an abyss-like barrier.

King Yu Yi didn't wait until dawn the next day, so he carried a box to the big house where the affairs were handled, and opened it in front of Fang Zheng.

There are many pieces of white and soft things in the box. The baby's arm is thick and the little finger is long. Fang Zheng picks up a piece. It is very elastic, like beef tendon that is many times thicker, and like many fat silkworms. Fang Zheng asked: "What is this?"

"Xiang." King Yu Yi called together the fifty Yu Qiang battalion fighters, and sent a piece of string to each of them one by one.

"What kind of material? It's too thick and too short." Fang Zheng was puzzled. The usual bow strings are only as thin as ponytails, and the bow strings drawn by a normal adult must be at least three feet long. Now each soldier in the Yu Qiang Camp has a hand The strings on the top are less than three inches, smaller than their palms.

"Look." Monarch Yu Yi said calmly, before the words fell, the length of the "silkworm" was stretched by the soldiers and tied to the end of the bronze bow.It's like a silkworm chrysalis is pulled out with long and thin white silk, stretched to the length of a bow, and tied at both ends of the bowstring.

Fang Zheng reached out to touch the bowstring, and as soon as his fingers touched it, he didn't use any force, leaving a small wound, soaked with blood.

"Don't touch it." King Yu Yi then slowly and "kindly" reminded, "This kind of wound is not so easy to heal. This string is the tendon of snake repair."

"Snake tendons?" Snakes are reptile molluscs. Of course, this "tendon" is not the kind of tendons in mammals. Snakes don't have that kind of tendons.Snake tendon is another name for snake slough.Fang Zheng then asked: "How can snake skin be so elastic?"

"This is what Jun Yi brought back after he killed the snake repairer. It is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire..."

"Oh? Since the snake skin is so powerful, how did Lord Yi kill it? How was it chopped into small pieces?" Fang Zheng asked suspiciously.

Lord Yu Yi's expression sank: "Because it was invulnerable to swords and guns, Lord Yi shot Xiu Xiu's upper jaw at the beginning, so it died. After the snake's slough was removed, it took 300 people and dragged it for more than 100 days. I dragged it back to Yudu. I threw it in the treasury at that time. I found it in the past two years, but I couldn’t keep messing with it. I ordered one end of it to be tied under the first copper mountain, and the other end was pulled by a thousand slaves. , all the way to the territory of Wangjishan, and it was thinner than a hair. Then I asked the envoy of Xiazhu for the tripod ruler of Emperor Chongyu—"

Fang Zheng originally wanted to ask "what is that", but suddenly a message floated in his mind automatically.The tripod ruler is a pure black square ruler made of black obsidian.It is not like the scale of measurement in later generations, but engraved with mountains, rivers, fish and insects, as a symbol of the power of the monarch.It has a particularly sharp end and can also be used as a small dagger.

"Using a tripod ruler to cut hard at the thinnest place in the middle of the snake tendon for a long time, and finally broke it. Pull it back and forth in this way. It took more than 1 slaves and two years to repair it. The tendons of the snake were cut into dozens of pieces, which fit the size of the bowstring." The voice of King Yu Yi was not without pride.

"You really know how to plan ahead." Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Since Lian Zifeng escaped, I have never slept peacefully for a moment." Yu Yi Guojun sighed deeply.

"Even if it is a good bowstring, it can kill Lian Zifeng?" Fang Zheng twisted the arrows of the soldiers suspiciously.The pure golden arrow is also made of thick copper, if the copper arrow can shoot through...it can't be that simple.

"More than that, look at the arrow." Lord Yu Yi pointed to the tip of the arrow and showed it to Fang Zheng.Fang Zheng could vaguely discern a little black in the middle.

"The arrowheads are made of obsidian, which can penetrate their bodies. It's a pity that the tripod ruler is too short, and only fifty arrowheads have been melted, and there are not many more." King Yu Yi was very regretful.

Fang Zheng's eyes widened: "You melted Xia Zhu's tripod ruler? They won't kill you?"

"We and Xia Zhu have long had a deep hatred, and the tripod ruler was also stolen by the envoy. Do you think they don't want to kill me?" Yu Yi Guojun wrote lightly, "But within the four realms, where can I find Yao from the Yu Dynasty?" As for stones, although there are stones in Shoutong Mountain, but the beast king is entrenched and Jinluan territory, few people can enter. The mine roads back then... well, let’s not talk about it.”

Fang Zheng thought to himself that his Chonghua Emperor Sword was made of black obsidian, and the underground mechanism that trapped Zifeng was also obsidian, but he couldn't dig it out, maybe King Yuyi didn't know where it was.Fang Zheng decided to see the situation and tell him if necessary.But even though he was protected by the Chonghua Sword, he still had no idea if he had a real confrontation with Zifeng.Masters like Qixi were all killed by Zifeng, and Fang Zheng himself didn't even have the will to get rid of Zifeng like Qixi.He even wanted to capture Zifeng alive.

"Black obsidian arrows, snake tendons and strings, what about the bow tires and horns?" Fang Zheng raised the bow, only to feel that it seemed heavier than normal.

"Copper and bamboo and wood." Yu Yi said, "It doesn't matter if you level it."

Fang Zheng remembered that Zifeng entered the monster's belly twice to search for bow wood, and found Yi's mulberry wood bow and arrow, but he never found the tendons.After Zifeng lost his mind, he once rode Zhu Luan to peck through the net of bells and enter Raowo, the capital of Yu Yi.Did he go to town looking for bowstrings?Did he know that the tendons of the snake cultivator were made into suitable bowstrings by the king of Yu Yi before he went there?

"Why not use mulberry wood?" Fang Zheng asked.

Monarch Yu Yi asked suspiciously: "Mulberry wood? That's not as good as bamboo wood."

Fang Zhengdao: "Lian Zifeng found a kind of mulberry wood before, the red one is said to be the material for Lord Yi's bow and arrow... Isn't it mulberry wood?"

Lord Yu Yi gasped: "That's not ordinary mulberry wood, it's hibiscus wood, it's completely different. It's impossible to get it... in the sea."

"In the sea?" Fang Zheng remembered that it was recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" that Fusang people are big trees, where the sun lives, and the east of the earth.It means that Fusang is the place where the sun rises, at the far east of the earth.Why in this time and space of mountains and seas, it became in the sea again?

Fang Zheng then thought that in the "Shan Hai Jing" records, Jianmu is where the sun hangs at the highest altitude, and when the sun travels above Jianmu, there is no shadow, which is the location of the sun.The ancients believed that Jianmu "covers the sky and the earth", that is, it is in the center of the earth.But in this time and space of mountains and seas, Jianmu is on the east coast of Yuyi.This means that the entire continent has shrunk in half.Fusang wood, which is further east than Jianmu, stands in the farther East China Sea.

"If Fusang wood is in the sea, how did Jun Yi make the bow and arrow of Fusang wood?" Fang Zheng couldn't help asking.

"He has personally been to the other side of the sea." The king of Yu Yi said, "he brought back a hibiscus branch, which was made into a bow and eleven arrows. Later, he shot and killed ten victims with this bow and arrow. Every time he killed A monster, one of the arrows will be broken, because there is no suitable bowstring. In the end, there is only one arrow left. That arrow was pulled out when Yijun was dealing with Pangmeng, but he took it back for some reason. No fusang bows were used either. Afterwards, the bow and the last arrow disappeared. No one ever found them again."

Fang Zheng's heart tightened, he knew their whereabouts - the bow was buried in the tomb of Emperor Yao Yu, and the last hibiscus wooden arrow was given to Empress Dengbei, and was later sealed in Qiongqi's stomach.Now, both of these things are in Zifeng's hands.

Fang Zheng pondered: "Since it is not convenient to go to the sea to find hibiscus wood, what about Jianmu? Isn't Jianmu material suitable for making bow tires?"

"Not suitable, Jianmu is too hard." Lord Yu Yi sighed, "Beside Jianmu, surrounded by thousands of feet of weak water, it is not an easy place to go."

Fang Zheng slowly recalled that in addition to the hibiscus at sunrise and the tree at the middle of the day, in the mythological system of "Shan Hai Jing", there is a third "sacred tree" related to the sun. If there is also in this time and space— —

—— On the mountain of Huiye, there is a tree with green leaves and red flowers, called Ruomu, where the sun enters.

Fang Zheng asked, "Have you heard of Ruomu in the Place of the Sunset?"

King Yu Yi said: "Ruomu? There are rumors that it is at the western pole of the earth, but no one has ever found it."

To the west of this time and space of mountains and seas is the Yao City where Zu Jiang is entrenched, and to the west is the stretching Kunlun Mountains. Ruomu's records in mythology are also deep in Kunlun Mountains.Wakagi is the place where the sun rests.It is as high as a thousand feet, with a circumference of more than two thousand feet, and it bears fruit only once at nine thousand years old.

However, looking for the so-called Ruomu now is an illusory idea, let alone whether it is suitable for making bows and arrows.Fang Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and watched silently as the soldiers set their bowstrings. Each of them took an obsidian arrow and tried it out.

"When will he come?" King Yu Yi asked Fang Zheng.

"You shouldn't have to wait too long." Fang Zhengdao, "If you want to ambush, in-"

Halfway through the speech, Fang Zheng suddenly felt dizzy, and his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.When he woke up the next moment, he was being supported by Chinese guards, and he sat down carefully.There were countless small black flags floating in front of Fang Zheng's eyes, his whole body was cold, his limbs were weak, and the symptoms that troubled him appeared again without warning.Fang Zheng pinched his palms to wake himself up, and looked up at the thoughtful King Yu Yi in the distance.

"Chief of the Chinese clan, there is nothing wrong with your body," said King Yu Yi with a look of "concern".

"Don't worry about it." Fang Zheng didn't want to be caused by him knowing what it was, "I just didn't sleep much yesterday, and I was a little sleepy."

King Yu Yi still had doubts, but he did not ask further questions: "You said Lian Zifeng will come? From where? Where are we going to ambush?"

"Ambush around my house." Fang Zheng said coldly.

Lord Yu Yi suddenly showed vigilance on his face, "What? He will come to you directly? Did you talk to him before? You—"

"Don't be nervous." Fang Zheng said slowly, "If I want to cooperate with him to murder you, there is no need to wait until now. He came to me for...some reason that I was unwilling and did not reach an agreement on. "

King Yu Yi looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously, "Is he wooing you? Or is he a threat?"

This old fox is still very shrewd, Fang Zheng said vaguely: "There are all of them."

"Then why didn't you agree?" Monarch Yu Yi had a jealous look on his face, "He didn't kill you..."

"Because that power will not be used by you, and it will kill people without restraint. If it were you, would you agree?" Fang Zheng's face was as cold as ice.

"It's hard to say." King Yu Yi didn't wear the mask of a righteous and benevolent king in front of Fang Zheng, "The specific conditions can be weighed."

"I will never agree." Fang Zheng took a deep breath, and said carefully, "Later...no matter what he says, don't believe it, and don't listen to it. It's just to disturb the morale of the army."

If Zifeng shakes out what he said to Zheng on the bed in front of a group of soldiers and outsiders, why brother Zheng can only belong to me, why is he pregnant with his blood and give him a child... The clan warriors and people were stunned and ran away.As for the old fox Yu Yiguo, who knows what tricks he will come up with.

"Leader of the Chinese clan, you stay inside alone as a bait, if he catches you and threatens—" King Yu Yi once again showed a "kind reminder".Fang Zheng knew what he meant as soon as he heard it: "Don't say that the soldiers of Yu Qiang's battalion may be the best." He raised his eyebrows and signaled to the leaders of the Chinese soldiers, "Cooperate well. Those on the periphery Put the pile of stones as I said. Once Lian Zifeng comes in, close the stone gate."

Fang Zheng transformed the surroundings of his own house into a huge gossip stone array, covered with trees.He planned that after Zifeng came in, the guards outside could rely on the concealment of the stone while attacking, and trap Zifeng inside.He himself can use the birth door to go out.

Fang Zheng felt that it was almost impossible for Zifeng to seize himself as a shield and threaten him.He can really trap Zifeng to that point, he burns incense and thank God.But I still have to remind my soldiers to watch carefully, and don't let the old fox Yu Yi take the opportunity to murder him. It's not surprising that this crazy guy does anything.

As usual, Fang Zheng pretended to make the guards go away.In fact, they turned back quietly again, lurking around the big stone near the house.Those stones are scattered and disorderly, and the passages for entry and exit are wide open.

Fang Zheng sat alone in the front hall, resting his hands on his hands to sleep. Not long after, the big tail of the little purple spirit wrapped around Fang Zheng's neck.Fang Zheng stroked its healed fluffy tail, and it leaned lightly against Fang Zheng's neck, using that big tail as a pillow for him.After a while, Lingyue suddenly bristled all over her body, hurriedly ran away from Fang Zheng, slipped out of the window and disappeared.

Fang Zheng knew that Zifeng was here.

Zifeng came in through the window.He was still wearing that pure black silk shirt with a long reflective luster.The texture does not appear to be stained with blood dust.When he jumped into the window, he grinned at Fang Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, I heard you ambushing a bunch of ants around again. Are they still pushing that kind of stone, trying to trap me like last time?" Zifeng approached Fang Zheng, and stretched out his hand to stroke Fang Zheng's soft black hair hanging by his ear, "I remember Brother Zheng often played 'that kind of reward' with me in order to tame me. What do you want to play this time?"

Fang Zheng listened to the sound of stones moving outside, Zifeng seemed indifferent to it.Fang Zheng said: "Aren't you trapped now?"

Zifeng stretched out his slender fingers, stroked Fang Zheng's cheek, and moved down his neck, "Brother Zheng, do you want to wait for the two golden dragons to come back to deal with me by keeping me? It's a good idea, but I hate it the most. It's—someone forced me!"

Before he finished speaking, Zifeng's blood pupils had already widened ferociously, and he waved his hand suddenly, and a series of "dang" sounds came in from the window and shot at his arm.Zifeng swung away the obsidian arrowheads shot out by those snake tendons, and three small shallow wounds appeared on his arm, and a few small pieces of hard skin fragments fell off.

Zifeng's face twisted as if he had been scalded by fire.rushed outside.Big rocks in all directions blocked his way.The soldiers of Yu Qiang's battalion who were shooting arrows were all hidden behind the stone gaps, shrouded in the shadow of the shelter higher than people.

More arrows flew towards Zifeng from all directions. If he was an ordinary person, he would have been shot like a hedgehog.Lian Zifeng bounced off some, while others left him with burning and painful wounds.But so far, not a single arrow has hurt his vital parts.His movements slowed down, but did not stop.

Fang Zheng quickly ran from the back door to the Shengmen of Bagua.Zifeng turned his head and gave a fierce stare, then suddenly burst out laughing.His laugh was loud and terrifying.He didn't come to chase Fang Zheng, but rushed out of the stone formation in another direction.

Fang Zheng stood outside the Shengmen, looking at Zifeng with a complicated expression.Zifeng is currently trapped in the gossip formation and is being attacked by a rain of arrows.Laughing wildly, he walked up to a boulder, clapped his hands, and the boulder was turned into powder under his palm, blown away by the wind, and the warrior hidden behind it had not had time to leave.Zifeng saw the uniform of a Yuqiang battalion soldier on his body, and his smile became even more pervasive. He lifted the soldier up like a chicken, and smashed it on the nearby stones to become a pool of meatloaf.

Fang Zheng trembled in his heart, and suddenly realized that the ambush was about to fail.This is the real power in Zifeng's blood.

Before Zifeng destroyed these big rocks, it took at least a moment.So others have time to transfer and lay out new stones outside.But at this moment Zifeng rubbed and pushed his hands, and the boulder disappeared into nothingness.This is comparable to the power to open mountains and fill seas.He walks without discerning his way at all, turning stones to dust when he meets them.Kill anyone you see.The soldiers of Yu Qiang's battalion who were ambushing around shot more obsidian arrows from a distance, and several of them hit his armpit.Zifeng frowned in pain, covered his wound and roared, pushing down more stones and turning them into powder.

But Fang Zheng knew that the obsidian arrows were almost used up.But still failed to restrain Zifeng.

The speed at which Zifeng destroyed the stones couldn't keep up no matter how many fighters were placed on the periphery.Huge stones are difficult to mine.The terrain here can only store a hundred or so boulders, and most of them have been destroyed.

There were fewer and fewer obsidian arrows, and the last one shot out.There were seven or eight wounds on Zifeng's body, but he still had enough strength to strike.More than half of the soldiers who surrounded Yu Qiang's battalion died, and many of them were torn to pieces by his bare hands.The attendants who replenished Stonehenge also died a lot.They were all killed by Zifeng before they could transfer.Zifeng was full of anger, breathing heavily, about to smash the few remaining boulders blocking the way, and then rush out.

Fang Zheng looked around, the king of Yuyi didn't know where he was going, and the old fox ran away very fast.Fang Zheng's heart became more and more tense, and he rushed out suddenly, galloping from Shitou Shengmen to the front of the road that Zifeng must pass.Fang Zheng held the Chonghua sword in one hand, opened the other arm, and said to Zifeng almost beggingly: "Don't—!"

Fang Zheng smelled the smell of burnt blood. Although Zifeng had many wounds, he didn't shed much blood.Only some sticky dark red blood clots ooze from the wound.

Zifeng was injured, felt the pain, and his face was full of anger, but his combat power did not weaken too much.Fang Zheng didn't know what he would do, but he didn't seem to leave without incident.Zifeng must pour out his anger. He let the Huazu go before, but he also left threats and warnings to Fang Zheng.This time I'm afraid it won't be good.

"Don't? Afraid that after I tear that greasy guy in Huazu Lake to pieces, I'll smash all your ant nests? Brother Zheng, that's how you treat me. Hurt me and join hands with my enemies , Treat me as an enemy that must be killed. There is no difference between you and Qixi—" Zifeng bared his teeth and growled.

"After you did those things, why do you think I don't want to kill you!" Fang Zheng walked over tremblingly with a sword in his hand, "But I can't kill you, you are so strong." Fang Zheng saw Zifeng showing a satisfied smile, " So I beg you. It's my decision alone. Don't blame others. You can do to me what you want. You can do anything you want me to do. You take me away. Take me to Jianmu, didn't you say you want I'll give birth to you... a baby there. Yes, you can lock me up and do whatever you want every day. Anything is fine. Take me away."

Zifeng held Fang Zheng's sword a few feet away.The Chong Hua sword left a shallow wound on his palm.Zifeng held it so tightly.Fang Zheng could hardly use his strength.Zifeng's eyes changed complicatedly, and the cold light flowed slowly, as if he was weighing.

"Brother Zheng, even if you don't agree." He pulled Fang Zheng suddenly with the other hand, and whispered in his ear, "I can still take you away and do whatever I want."

Fang Zheng felt cold, he knew it was true.If Zifeng wanted to kill Fang Zheng here, and then kidnap Fang Zheng, he would be unable to resist.The plan failed.Although the snake tendon and obsidian arrows hurt Zifeng, it was obviously not powerful enough.Still underestimated the power of the blood of flowers and dragons.

Fang Zheng was forced to hold him in his arms, he was almost suffocated, and said with difficulty: "You...your injuries..."

"I can heal by myself. I don't need to apply any more wound medicine." Zifeng imprisoned Fang Zheng with his blood-sucking hands, and said, "I won't play with the ants here anymore. Since you are willing to give in, I will take you away. But Let's say it first-"

The dark red blood clots were slowly seeping back into Zifeng's body, and the wound was gradually healing.Judging from this, he will recover more fighting power soon.Obsidian arrows only have arrowheads. If they are made of pure materials, they will have the power of God like Hou Yi.Using the bow and arrow of hibiscus wood, combined with the string tendons of the snake, can it be lethal?Thinking of this episode, Fang Zheng decided to find an opportunity to steal the Fusang bow and arrow from Zifeng.And before that...

The world suddenly turned upside down, Zifeng picked up Fang Zheng, and he started galloping forward.Fang Zheng could only see the ground at first.But then the ground also turned into colorful colors and quickly melted in the eyes.Fang Zheng could vaguely see that the fog in the sky far away had thickened, and he understood—the reason for Zifeng's real quick departure was that Jinlong would return later.They found that Fang Zheng was gone, and they should follow the traces to find him.

At the same time, Zifeng was just a short distance away from his shoulders, and the other party Zheng said: "Brother Zheng, we will wait for your two little guys on Jianmu. For young dragons, Jianmu is not just a play. The place. You'd better persuade them to go back to the Chinese and stay there."

Fang Zheng didn't know what danger was in Jianmu, and his heart sank: "It's their freedom to follow. But I don't want to see you both hurt."

"Let them go back and take care of your little ants." Zifeng obviously didn't want to get in touch with them.

Fang Zheng was worried, he didn't know who would win the battle between Feng Long and Zi Feng.What kind of mystery is hidden in Jianmuli?Why did Zifeng want him to give birth to his bloodline there, and "kindly" stop him and seal the dragon into danger?

Is the reason why Zifeng is unwilling to face Bing Fenglong directly because their blood is rare and precious, but because Fang Zheng is among them, there must be a battle after meeting?

"It's their freedom to come or go." Fang Zheng repeated, "I haven't given them anything else. It's really dangerous, so they will naturally stay away."

"You gave them too many soft things." Zifeng said indifferently, "Dragon beasts shouldn't grow up like this. The ruins built by the Huaxu people in the Shoutong Mountain are charred. The dragon beasts were thrown into the snake pond when they were just born. , Eat all the snakes before they are big enough to crawl out. Then immediately go into a huge war, fight for a lifetime, and die."

Fang Zheng heard different emotions from these words, and tentatively said: "But those ancient time and space do not belong to you. The ancestors have turned into dust, you don't need to—"

"But the pain and memory are there." Zifeng said, "It must be like this, it can only be like this."

"What's the meaning?" Fang Zheng couldn't help asking, "What about after the war? Civilization, prosperity, aspirations... Isn't that what survival is for?"

Zifeng raised a puzzled and thoughtful expression. This was a rare moment when he did not show contempt. In the end, he stared deeply at Fang Zheng, pursed his lips and did not say a word, but silently quickened his pace.
