Mountains and seas can be flat

When Fang Zheng woke up, it was already dark. The moment he opened his eyes, he thought that his dizziness was not over yet. The starry sky above his head seemed to enlarge, turning into groups of flowing and trembling halos entrenched above.Then Fang Zheng realized that it was not a starry sky.

Below him are many soft green vines, weaving into a dense mesh platform, as if you are in a huge hammock.There are many large fluorescent flower buds hanging from the top of the head.Fang Zheng regained his eyesight and observed that those flowers were like Youtan, with tiny, sesame-like spines and light-emitting tissues distributed on the calyx.

Fang Zheng tried to move his body, and all his limbs could move.No one can be seen around, nor can any insects or birds be heard, only the swaying sound of plants being blown in the night wind.He was fully dressed, and the Chonghua sword was not taken away.Was it Zifeng who put him here?So relieved?

Fang Zheng approached a glowing flower cautiously. As soon as his hand touched the calyx lightly, it fell off as a whole and fell into Fang Zheng's arms, and the fluorescence disappeared.Fang Zheng groped his way out of the gap on the edge of the vine platform, trying to figure out where he was. .

In a blur, I was on a very high mountain, the edge of the platform was at least [-] meters above the ground, and the dark and dense forest in the night could not see the border under the mountain.With the faint starlight, Fang Zheng could vaguely see that it was a huge and rich surface like a virgin forest.There are many luminous epiphyllums casting a pale white glow below.Their brightness is not strong, like distant cold stars falling and being crumbled into pieces floating in the mist.

There was a narrow passage, and he walked along it, and entered a cave passage covered by vines, which was wet and slippery.Ground moss and snail shells are growing everywhere, and sticky vine juice drips from the cave from time to time.Fang Zheng hadn't walked in the passage for long, and the passage ahead was blocked by gray-green miscellaneous stones.Fang Zheng thought about making a lot of noise, so he should make thorough preparations first, so he returned to the vine platform with Yeming flowers.

Zifeng came back from nowhere, standing in the night wind, wearing a strange attire on top of a black gown.The headgear and armor made of the whole skeleton gave Fang Zheng the illusion of a walking skeleton for a moment.He couldn't help asking, "What's that on you?"

"The keel. It's from the ruins."

The size that a person wears?Fang Zheng vaguely felt a little strange.The Jianmu ruins were built by the Huaxu people driven by dragons and beasts, and many things were left behind according to Zifeng's tone.The complicated and patterned clothes he wore several times came from there.But if the Huaxu people were slaves who were captured in the past, how could they dress so well?Still use keel to make armor?This is not right.

"here it is……"

Zifeng cast his eyes down those glowing flowers, and said lightly, "Jianmu."

Fang Zheng took a breath, opened his eyes wide and tried to see the tall mountain shape under the vines clearly. In the darkness, he could only see countless glowing flower buds falling between the waterfalls of the vines, like a falling galaxy.If this is Jianmu, how high should it be so that it gives people the illusion of looking down from the mountain.Once upon a time he knew that the tallest trees were fir or eucalyptus, which may have grown to more than 100 meters.But Jianmu undoubtedly broke the record.Although he couldn't see the whole picture from his angle, the height he could see below was already over a hundred feet.He couldn't imagine a tree that big, like a mountain in the dark.

Fang Zhengyao thought about the legendary records of Jianmu: the height is "Bairen", the trunk is clean and branchless, and its branches and leaves grow concentratedly on the upper part of the branches.The leaves are "green like awns", that is, lanceolate, "like Luo", and the leaves are like nets.The branches are purple, and the flowers are "Xuanhua", black.It bears yellow fruit and seeds like hemp.A long time ago, the branches are bent and mixed, and the root knots are thick.In mythology, it is the "ladder" for the emperors to go up and down, and has an extremely sacred status.But there is no record of glowing flowers.

"...The ones that glow are Jianmu's flowers?" Fang Zheng looked around, and each bud seemed to have a huge fluorescent light built into it.

"No, they are called Yan Fuhua, and they are wrapped around Jianmu's body." Zifeng spoke calmly.Fang Zheng had the illusion that Zifeng was less irritable when he returned here, and something about him was calmed down.

Fang Zheng cautiously probed: "What are you thinking?"

"What made you guys live until now?" Zifeng asked without thinking, his voice could not detect emotion, and there were thousands of ravines standing under his feet.A tone of loneliness in the world, the face under the keel armor looked pale in the darkness.Fang Zheng understood that "you" refers to human beings.

Fang Zheng said for a long time: "It's fear that keeps us alive."

This unexpected answer made Zi Feng frowned and thought deeply, "What do you mean?" If he realized something, his face became more and more puzzled.

"Because of fear, there is awe; because of fear, there is unity."

Zifeng couldn't speak, his brain was reconstructing certain cognitions, he pursed his lips and said: "I don't have that feeling anymore." .

"You can see it in other places." Fang Zheng chose his words carefully, "For example, what I feel about you now is fear."

He doesn't hide his fear of Zifeng, so he can survive beside such Zifeng.

Zifeng's body trembled slightly. In the relationship between natural selection and dragon beasts' previous confrontation with humans, this should have been the best result, and it was also the result he wanted to bring Fang Zheng to Jianmu.But when Zifeng heard Fang Zheng's confession, he suddenly felt lost. He vaguely felt that he had forgotten and given up many things that were much better than that.

In the past, what I wanted was a feeling called "being liked".There is no need now... Zifeng's stern face hides indifference.

Fang Zheng sat down on the edge of the vine, he didn't know how to escape, and he couldn't beat him.In this place far away from the human world, there is an illusion that there are only two of them in the world.Fang Zheng thought disheartenedly, how happy he would be if Xiaofeng was the same as before.But for Zifeng today, he no longer regards this as happiness.He brought Fang Zheng here just for the reason of reproduction...

"I really thought about going to a quiet place with you and living together." Fang Zheng finally said it, and he let go of his sad emotions, even though he thought the other party couldn't understand.

Zifeng frowned, and finally said in confusion: "This is how it is now, isn't it?"

"No. You're not..."

You are not him.

Fang Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head, feeling tired and drowsy. This place seemed to have a hypnotic power.So he curled up in the corner of the vine and closed his eyes.It's like a giant security hand sinking into the darkness... He came to Jianmu, he left Huazu, Jinlong came without knowing how, and Zifeng was uncertain.He should think about a lot of problems, but he seems to be entangled in cocoons, and his brain is stuffed in a soft and warm pillow...

Fang Zheng didn't see Zifeng clenched his fists, and his expression gradually became troubled.He bent down to look at Fang Zheng carefully, and stretched out a hand as if wanting to touch his face, but he flung it away as if awakened, and regained his dismissive indifference.

Fang Zheng didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, he found that he was wearing a silver-gray satin-like cloth, which slipped off his body like running water. It had finely woven patterns, and it felt firm to the touch.But Fang Zheng still smelled old and decayed for a long time, like silk cloth taken out from deep underground.

It is already dawn, and the glowing buds of last night are no longer flickering.Under the sunlight, the petals are light purple, and the yellow stamens are spit out.

Fang Zheng climbed to the edge of the platform and looked down. More than 100 feet below was an endless green jungle.Typical tropical rainforest features, there are vertical and horizontal ravines on the left and right sides like knives and axes, and the surging river water merges into a crescent-shaped narrow bay that enters the sea not far away.The early morning sun dyed the sea level bright and dazzling.In the sparkling light, the waves, the sky, the horizon and the virgin forest are reflected, as well as countless unnamed seabirds.

This is the east pole of the mainland, the east coast of the border between Yu and Yi, where Jianmu is located, and the mouth of the river.

Zifeng disappeared again.There are some fruits and half a fresh dead wild boar beside Fang Zheng.Fanged heads and limbs were torn off and thrown away, and their bellies were gutted.In addition, Fang Zheng was very surprised to find that Zifeng had brought a set of utensils.

Made of jade, there are basins, jues, tripods, pots and other shapes.Even some precious sacrificial utensils, such as bi, cong, and huang, Fang Zheng could barely distinguish them.There is also a very large vat containing a broken wrist vine, from which a lot of juice flows out.Clear, Fang Zheng tasted it and it was a little sweet.

He didn't know what kind of jade the utensils were made of. The four famous jades that were mined on a large scale in later generations had not been discovered in this era.Just judging from its light green and clear halo, it is a bit like Xiuyan jade that was widely used in the Hongshan culture period.

In addition, there are tinder, stones and "black stone" (coal).

Fang Zheng thought speechlessly, did Zifeng ask himself to use these jade vessels to hold wild pork and cook it?Are you afraid of being roasted?

Fang Zheng knows that jade is not a single pure substance, so it does not have a fixed melting point. Jade is formed underground through complex geological changes, and has many components, including magnesium, aluminum, gui, etc. If the components are burned out, it will disintegrate .

But with such a large number, Fang Zheng was really hungry again.He also picked a small bowl and put it on the stone.The tinder ignites the coals.Cut wild boar meat with a Chonghua sword, peel and remove the bones, cut into small pieces and put them in a jade bowl, add vine juice.Start cooking the meat.After a while, it exudes a fragrant smell.The jade bowl was not burnt.

This jade was unexpectedly resistant to high temperatures. Fang Zheng played with the set of utensils of various shapes repeatedly, thinking that ritual utensils and living utensils are relics of human civilization.How could it be impossible for those huge ancient animals to use such a small bowl?

After eating and drinking enough, Fang Zheng continued to explore the surrounding environment, pushed aside the vines, and saw the rocky ground below. Fang Zheng slashed and poked with his sword, and bit it with his teeth. It did peel off a little bit of dry and bitter debris, which is true. Jianmu bark that is as hard as rock.

Fang Zheng turned back to the road that he didn't pass through yesterday, and the cave wall was also bark.He was inside the giant tree.The path may be its stalk, and the wide platform surrounded by vines is but a slender tip of it.

It even derived an inner ecosystem by itself.In addition to the kind of Yanfuhua, the land snails everywhere in the passage, and the strange-shaped mushrooms that have never been seen before.Fang Zheng walked to the place where the gray-green rock was blocked, stabbed it with the Chonghua sword for a while, and the gravel cracked.He didn't go very far before he was forced to stop.The corridor in front of him became more and more inclined, and he could barely walk at first.Later it is nearly vertical, like a patio.Fang Zheng threw a small snail into it, and the bottom was actually full of water.

This is the channel for Jianmu to transport water to the leaves... Where did Zifeng come in and out?Fang Zheng looked up, but there was another big black hole on top of his head.But it was more than two meters away from the nearest cave wall, Fang Zheng couldn't climb over it, and the height happened to exceed his jumping ability.It takes Zifeng's physical abilities to jump up.

But this is not difficult for Fang Zheng.He quickly collected the vines that were everywhere and twisted them into ropes.Tie it to the hilt of the sword, and throw the Chonghua sword over the hole, and insert it into the tree.He was about to climb when Zifeng suddenly appeared from the hole.He jumped down with a pile of animal skins and fruits.Throwing down his hands full of things, he hugged Fang Zheng, and said, "Brother Zheng, don't run around. You came here to give birth to me. I kindly don't tie you down, you have to be obedient."

This reason was put forward bluntly by Zifeng, and Fang Zheng was almost pissed off.His body so far, except for that kind of weakness and lethargy, he can't feel anything being conceived at all, he just feels ridiculous.But he knew the price he had paid, and of course he would not be a hero to provoke Zifeng, so he forced himself to compromise and said, "I just want to see what Jianmu is like."

"I'll take you there." Zifeng was unexpectedly cheerful.He carried Fang Zheng on his shoulders and easily jumped a few meters into the hole.The top is pitch black, covered with Yan Fuhua.This flower glows in dark places.For a while, Fang Zheng was like entering a time tunnel full of stars.He tried hard to remember the way Zifeng walked, but it was dark everywhere, except for Yan Fuhua's light halo, he couldn't see anything clearly.At the beginning, Fang Zheng wanted to remember: turn left, turn right, turn left... After dozens of intersections, he was completely confused.They walked in the branches inside Jianmu, which was more complicated than all the mazes built by manpower, and I don't know how Zifeng recognized the way.

"What's the matter with those jade bowls?" Fang Zheng was carried by Zifeng, feeling that Zifeng's mood was still stable, and began to test the situation again.

"The things of the Huaxu people are in this Jianmu."

Fang Zheng asked: "Did the Huaxu people really be driven by dragons and beasts back then to become slaves?"

Who was it that was enslaved, conquered, imprisoned, domesticated and rebelled?

Why in the end, the powerful dragon beasts were wiped out, but the weak and driven humans survived?Keel bone armor, jade wares, silk clothes, the living expenses are not bad, and you can live comfortably.

He got to the point when he asked, Zifeng froze for a moment, and didn't answer right away.Fang Zheng heard the terrible sound of teeth grinding, and was a little worried that he had accidentally opened another hornet's nest.But he still decided to take the plunge.

"Zifeng," Fang Zheng tried to be as concise as possible, "You say you have no feeling of fear, then you don't bother to take precautions. Failure is not shameful. No matter how powerful you are, you will fall under your ego."

No wonder there is no birth of civilization.Dragon beasts have a long lifespan, and fighting alone has no rivals in the world, so they naturally disdain to live in groups and develop social relationships.

Humans are different.A person can't deal with a dragon, so what if there are thousands of people, ten thousand people, or 10 people?Of course you can't win a head-on fight, but what about traps, drugs and camouflage?

Zifeng's voice was dry: "Ant, you have no power yourself, and your means are despicable." He hesitated for a moment, "You are right, fear is also a kind of power."

The rain is still falling, falling like beads from among the broad leaves.The invisible edge of the forest is like a big net that suffocates people's hearts, and the remaining six people in the team form two "pin" shapes to advance.Even if he didn't sleep all day and all night, Xia Zhu's special combat team still didn't dare to close their sleepy eyelids.They come from Flying Badger, Xia Zhu's most elite assassination force, and they are the backbone of the "Dragon Slaying" who are ordered in the face of danger.

This primeval forest covers an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers.The river with a flow of tens of millions of tons scours this area, nurturing lush tropical rainforest and 10,000+ species of animals and plants. It looks like a vibrant paradise, but it is actually a living hell full of murderous intentions.

When this team set off, there were 20 people in total. One was bitten to death by a snake, two fell into the swamp, three were bitten to death by wild animals, one was bitten to death by poisonous insects, one was swept away by a vine that suddenly fell from the woods, and one slipped into the forest. Cracks were opened, one was washed away by mudslides, and two wounds festered and died.Those who disappeared didn't even have time to keep the jade plaque, and only a ray of resentment was brought back to their hometown.

There are five hundred such teams.Even if the loss is heavy, there will always be someone who can complete the task in the end-destroy the Jianmu nest and kill Lian Zifeng.

This is a mission that cannot be failed. The leader of the Xiazhu Flying Badger Army, Feng Meng, not only sits in command, but even personally goes to the front line of the mission, leading a small team deep into the enemy's territory.Encountered many dangers along the way.

But it has to be done.After Lian Zifeng's dragon-beast bloodline awakened in Shoutong Mountain, it destroyed many fortresses and villages in Yuyi, forcing the king of Yuyi to go to Qinglongling to seek cooperation from the Chinese - it is said that he failed.The king of Yuyi disappeared, and the leader of the Chinese tribe disappeared.Badian is still under the flood.No one knew where Lian Zifeng's next target would be.Even a big country that once fought in dire straits, felt the crisis of dying when they heard that the flowers and dragons were coming back.

It wasn't one of those crazy half-human, half-animal monsters that come out every few decades and can cause damage, but they have no brains.Unlike Lian Zifeng, he is more dangerous and deadly.

As the first person to investigate Lian Zifeng's life experience and send it out as a political bargaining chip, Pang Meng knew too much old news about the Yu Dynasty and had personally experienced the split of the Yu Dynasty.He is close to 60 years old, an out-and-out longevity in this era.He has many old war-damaged wounds on his body, whether it is mental or physical, he has gone through vicissitudes.But even if he was an old man, since Lian Zifeng started to be active in Yu Qiang's camp, Pang Meng tirelessly began to collect Lian Zifeng's weaknesses and intelligence.Like a young boy with a small stomach - he is jealous of the closed disciples accepted by his master Houyi.Of course, he would never admit this reason.

More than ten years of targeting and collecting information have not been in vain.Feng Meng finally found out the mystery of Zifeng's frightening bloodline from Qixi, the teacher's servant.He immediately instructed Xia Zhu's envoy to send a message to the king of Yu Yi, intending to borrow a knife to kill someone-almost succeeded.Lian Zifeng was thrown into prison, if the King of Yuyi had been more decisive and got rid of him at that time, there would be no future troubles.Nor would Danyang County two years ago cause him to lose his son Feng Yi.

This time, Pang Meng must get rid of Lian Zifeng with his own hands.In public and private.

Although Jianmu is located in the territory of Yuyi, the vast virgin forest it lives in traverses the southern part of Xiazhu and the northern part of Yuyi.Xia Zhu can enter from the other side.It is difficult to meet Yu Yi's defense - no one will deploy troops near Ruoshui.

"How are you going to kill Lian Zifeng?" Before the trip, Si Zhongkang, Xia Zhu's young hero, asked Fengmeng.Si Zhongkang was the third emperor of Xiazhu, the fourth son of Emperor Qi, and the grandson of Emperor Chongyu.He has been in power for six years and attaches great importance to military training.With his support, Xia Zhu's two teams—Kaiyue and Flying Badger—both grow stronger, one in the open and the other in the dark.Xiazhu's agricultural production developed extremely rapidly in a peaceful environment.For the danger of causing major turmoil, of course, we must immediately avoid future troubles.

At that time, Pang Meng presented a clay pot to the lord, and when he opened it, there were several ants inside.

"Are you fooling me?" Si Zhongkang asked.

Pang Meng said in a low voice: "This is what the Huaxu people used to do. They are called 'litter ants'."

"It started with something like this."

Zifeng took Fang Zheng to walk inside Jianmu for a long time.After Fang Zheng's eyes adapted to the darkness, he could see many ancient bones scattered in the passage.He couldn't help asking: "Is this the keel?"

"No." Zifeng picked up one and showed it to Fang Zheng, who recognized that it was a very large primate tooth.Human teeth don't grow this long.Like some kind of giant ape.

"They are called steppes, and they can grow to the height of three people." Zifeng said, "They are covered with red hair and live on trees. They are frequent visitors to this giant tree. There are thousands of them on the tree. Later, they were all killed eaten."

Fang Zheng asked: "Eat it? By what? A dragon beast?"

Zifeng shook his head and said, "No, by ants."

For a moment, Fang Zheng wasn't sure whether he meant "ant" literally, or the meaning that Zifeng had always used to refer to people.

Even in the forest, the rain was too long.It's been going on for two days and two nights.The rain soaked all the gear, and the Badger's team sneezed and sneezed one after another.The sky is also very gloomy, and the place is in the sunshine range all year round, so there shouldn't be so many clouds.

The leather armor that Pangmeng was wearing had also absorbed moisture, and he didn't care much about it. He had experienced much more tragic battles, and his whole body was covered with scars and medals.It is said that heroes are short-lived and never live forever.Getting old always gets weaker.Just like his teacher Yijun, in his heyday, he naturally did not dare to challenge.But when Yijun was old, he arranged carefully, and finally made the old hero's body deteriorate rapidly, and he died of injuries.Feng Meng also gradually felt the pressure of being old. Eight years ago, Xia Zhu fought against Zu Jiang. Eight hundred red-clothed troops fought against ten thousand troops, which made him hurt his eyes and arms. But eight years later, Zu Jiang was gone, and he still stubbornly fought live.

Lian Zifeng would also die in front of him.In Pangmeng's arms was a clay pot, which contained the powder of some imam ant corpses, mixed with the aroma of carefully prepared food.This kind of small creature is very rare in other places, but in the primitive forest of ancient ecology around Jianmu, they have an absolute advantage in numbers.When they gather in one place, they are the red god of death, and there are many bones in the crossing, and no creature can be spared.Their sturdy pincers and mouthparts can bite through rocks, and the unique air storage bag on the head and the waterproof membrane around the body allow them to survive in the air-scarce underground, rock formations and deep underwater.And this feature was discovered by the Huaxu people... with a little guidance, they can live in the internal environment of creatures.

The moment a dragon as tall as a mountain fell, a colony of ten trillion ants pierced and gnawed in its body, leaving only bones after a few days.

To deal with Lian Zifeng, it doesn't take that much.

When this battle is over and Lian Zifeng is killed, Pang Meng will be the dragon slayer, and he will make greater achievements than Yijun.The Jiaojiao in the tomb of Emperor Yao Yu, the belly of a horse in the Dan Mountains, the Qiongqi in the Mausoleum of the Zu Jiangnv Emperor...the ants can all be killed, it's that simple.He can solve the problems that the emperor and the hero can't solve once and for all, and his achievements will last forever.

But they can't be blamed either.Pengmeng recalled that the relics of the Huaxu people have been deepened for a long time, and a lot of cleaning work lasted for several generations.After the Yu Dynasty split, wars continued.The Taimiao, which originally kept jade ritual vessels, was also violently destroyed.Qijun's eldest son, Si Taikang, was so disgusted that he destroyed many jade objects and slashed on the neck of the sacred beast Xiezhi who was the judge of the lawsuit, but it ran away and did not know where it went.So the sorting and excavation of jade carvings was forced to stop for a long time.It was not until his younger brother Zhongkang succeeded him that the situation improved slightly.

Not long ago, the excavation of a jade carving board attracted the attention of Pengmeng.On the screen is a long snake being eaten by many ants.There are also four Huaxu ancient characters, which no one can recognize.Pengmeng sent people to check many records and searched everywhere, and finally found this small creature that had disappeared long ago.In Jianmu's primeval forest, their numbers were not as large as before, but dealing with Lian Zifeng shouldn't be a big problem.

Fengmeng is determined to win, and even considers what to do after returning—as the commander of the Flying Badger Army, he is equivalent to the highest-ranking marshal of the Xiazhu Army, and he can't be sealed.He also doesn't want to set aside a piece of land to manage by himself like Zhongkang's older brothers and younger brothers.He asked for more things, and if anyone refused to give him, he would send imam ants to bury that person.

Of course, the first thing to solve is that damned little girl of Solan.The armored army is Xia Zhu's second largest army, how can it be handed over to a woman?I didn't get enough of the lesson last time.After learning about such a great plan to slay the dragon, she actually spoke bad things to the lord Si Zhongkang, both inwardly and outwardly, like a cowardly rabbit.In the end, it actually really touched the ears of the lord, and Zhongkang actually questioned Pangmeng:

"This thing is worrying, is it really all right?"

Peng Meng didn't take it seriously, ants can be killed by flooding or burning, even by pinching them with bare hands.What's the problem?

Solan said to him with deep meaning: "Why has no emperor ever used ants to deal with monsters?"

"Because the jade carvings of the Huaxu people have not been unearthed, they don't know."

"Then how did the Huaxu people exterminate their clan?" Solan asked.

Pangmeng sneered, could it be that the girl was implying that she was exterminated by the little ants?The Arabian Nights, a joke.

Zifeng led Fang Zheng to continue walking through Jianmu.There is a section of the road that gets wider and wider, approaching the center of the trunk.There are obvious traces of artificial polishing in the passage, and there are simple rooms separated in some places.This place has not yet been invaded by the savagely growing Yanfuhua, and it is pitch black everywhere.Zifeng wiped the tinder and lit a candlestick on the side passage.The candlestick is in the shape of a snake, about the size of the python king in Badian.It is filled with turpentine and oil of an unknown animal. If it is used as a long-burning lamp, it may burn for tens of thousands of years.The flames licked Jianmu's branches, but they didn't burn, but the color became darker.No wonder a torch can be placed here.

Skeletons and discarded utensils are scattered everywhere.Fang Zheng didn't see the sword. If it was a weapon made of copper and iron, it would have rusted and rotted for such a long time.All that remains are charred clothes, stone vessels, and most of all, various jade products.

The passage became wider and wider, and the top of the wall was raised.It is surprising how big the interior of Jianmu is. At least the current channel can accommodate the width of several football fields in the future.What Fang Zheng saw became more and more strange.He first noticed many huge ring artifacts hanging in front of him.They are embedded on the top of the wall, and there are obvious traces of artificial polishing. The material should be obsidian mixed with some metal minerals.Their arrangement is reminiscent of the fire jumping hoops of later circuses, but the size is only about the size used by drakes.

And under those ring products, although they have decayed, there are still many traces of thick and pointed metal ore products.There are the largest sharp cones, spear heads and blades that Fang Zheng can think of.

"Is this what people used to hunt dragon beasts at that time?" Fang Zheng asked.

"No," Zifeng looked up at the rings, his tone unrecognizable, "It is used for dissection after hunting. Fix their bodies with those rings, and then lift these swords and penetrate them."

Fang Zheng was horrified, and said, "Why—"

"Why are they powerful, why are they long-lived, where do those powers come from, and can they be passed on from generation to generation? When they don't know where the fetuses or eggs of dragon beasts come from, they will wonder how they reproduce." Zifeng asked Fang Zheng Continue walking a few steps forward.Fang Zheng found a bottomless patio in front of him, which seemed to lead to the lower level of Jianmu.It's foggy, and I don't know how deep it is.With the light of the fire next to him, Fang Zheng could vaguely see the white piles below.

"Bones, everything. Things that fly in the sky, things that swim in the water, things that run on the ground... walking apes, woolly elephants, boa constrictors, giant crabs, crocodiles, scorpions, fierce eagles... and of course, keel bones." Zi Feng He said lightly, "Brother Zheng, what do you feel after seeing this?"

Fang Zheng only felt a chill in his heart, is this an ancient crazy experiment site?What did the Huaxu people do?

"I've heard another theory that the dragons and beasts kidnapped the Huaxu people and forced them to give birth." Fang Zheng asked Zifeng with raised eyebrows, remembering that Ehuang Nvying's adopted sons told him about "the dark past of flowers and dragons". , "Could it be that, in turn, he was generalized?"

Zifeng repeated: "We lost because we had no fear."

Fang Zheng was so shocked by the truth on the other side that he was speechless for a long time, and then he heard Zifeng say:

"The Huaxu people's totem is a flower. It is a flower that has been passed down from generation to generation. The species they are familiar with are the same as them, male and female reproduce and live endlessly."

"Aren't creatures like this?" Fang Zheng asked doubtfully.

"Dragon is raised by nature. They can't mate, and they can't jump out of their bodies. So the Huaxu people are very regretful and very curious. They dissected very clearly and couldn't find any reproductive organs and fetal organs. .So where do the dragon beast eggs come from?"

Fang Zheng thought of those two little golden dragons, their tails were connected together, their digestive systems were amazing, and they seemed to have no mating and reproductive organs.When I got them from the snow mountain, it seemed to be through a dream.This is too mysterious.And they are alone in the snow mountain, as if they have been left behind for tens of thousands of years, just like stones.

"Later, they discovered that the dragon's eggs were transformed from stones. There are many stones in Jianmu, and some of them turned into eggs after some years, and then gave birth to dragon beasts. This is a mystery, and they couldn't figure it out at all. Knowing exactly what was going on, they did a lot of things to solve the mystery..."

Fang Zheng was very puzzled, stone?How did that Zifeng give birth to him?

"After many failures, they finally discovered that although dragon beasts cannot mate, if other creatures are adapted to their blood, other creatures will be able to produce offspring with their power during reproduction. Although those offspring are long It’s a mess, but it’s still passed on.” Zifeng let out a short sarcasm, “As for how to make other creatures adapt and carry their blood...that’s a very long process. But the Huaxu people’s kingdom will last forever. It took a long time, and there were so many of them, it was exhausted.”

Fang Zheng thought in surprise that the immune system in the blood would reject it, and he would die within minutes after being transfused.Different proteins and huge genetic differences are peaks that are difficult to climb in biology so far.I don't know how many problems they have overcome.There was no biological science in ancient times, and their research must be carried out because of the rare and precious mutations obtained from a large number of dead samples.

"In the beginning, things that were close to their size, such as elephants, long snakes... Later, large orangutans and crocodiles were used... In the end, the blood finally spread to 'humans'. There are a group of 'humans' I left the Huaxu tribe, went to a place called Xuanyuanqiu, and established a powerful tribe, Nuwa, Bao Xi (Fuxi)... Xuanyuan Kingdom, with a human head and a snake body, thought they could have a long lifespan..."

Fang Zheng did remember that when Er Tongya fled with Xiezhi, he seemed to pass by the deserted Xuanyuan Hill.There is no one there now.

"But they found that most of the time, using the usual human mating method, offspring with the blood of dragon beasts cannot be born, and occasionally monsters will be born. But if blood is dripped on those stones, there is a chance that it will succeed."

"Drop blood on the stone?" Fang Zheng wondered if Zifeng would bleed himself to death.

"A little bit of blood can make a decision. Of course I am reluctant to let brother Zheng die. I hope brother Zheng will not die for at least 100 years."

Fang Zheng felt a sudden pain in his heart: "'Reluctant'? Do you understand?"

Suddenly approaching the sky, the big clouds pressed down, and the pouring rain poured down on the top of the head.Still can't see anything clearly in the rain, Fang Zheng only knows that it is very high here.He was stepping on a cliff-like slope, but the difference was that long and slender branches stretched out from the "road".This should belong to the "little buds" on the top of Jianmu, but it is still thicker than ordinary trees.The leaves, as big as a car cover, were soaked by the rain and hung on the sides of the branches.

In the pouring rain, Fang Zheng seemed to hear a roar from the sky, Zifeng smiled and said: "Those two little guys are here. Brother Zheng, but they don't know how to get in, Jianmu is too big, and the blood inside The smell scares them too. But except for Jianmu, surrounded by thousands of feet of weak water, they can’t swim. So they can either stop on Jianmu, or park far away...how would they choose?"

The howling sound was intermittent and weakened in the wind and rain. Zifeng listened for a while, and said: "They didn't dare to come in. Poor little thing. That's okay, I don't want to activate these mechanisms by myself. Most of them are actually It still works."

Fang Zheng asked: "Since dragons and beasts can't avoid them, why do you stay on Jianmu? You obviously don't like these."

"But this is my source." Zifeng looked up at the rings, which still had mottled ancient bloodstains on them, "It's the blood of flowers and dragons that first started here."

Fang Zheng is silent, that's why Zifeng can gain peace of mind here.The origin of his life experience, his ancestor, the bond he can feel with this world, no matter how bloody and cruel.

"This is 'reluctance'." Zifeng said, "So I understand. Brother Zheng, sometimes I wonder if I want you to have a child with a woman, and when you die, that child will accompany you. Then the child gave birth to another child and stayed with me from generation to generation. But when I thought about it, he didn’t remember your affairs, so forget it. I’d better use your blood to conceive a stone for me, and wait for it to become a dragon , you can stay with me till the end of time.”

Fang Zheng thought of the immortal medicine secretly developed by many emperors, as well as the strange life-absorbing witchcraft of King Yu Yi, all in order to prolong life.Zifeng probably didn't know about these things, otherwise he might have made some immortality medicine for Fang Cong.

"Xiao Feng, you are still a 'human' after all, and only a 'human' would be afraid of living alone in the world." Fang Zheng's tone was low, with a hint of tenderness.

Zifeng was silent, and finally said: "I don't understand."

——I don’t know how to spend this long life. If I can think about this problem, I’m still human.

And Feng Jinlong hovered around Jianmu and roared, bringing continuous rain.Their huge bodies are hidden in the clouds.The sight of Xia Zhu's Flying Badger Squad was restricted by the forest, and they couldn't see clearly amidst the thunder and lightning.
