Mountains and seas can be flat

Not everyone present showed almost shattered expressions.Chief Shouma and his confidants beside him had unpredictable expressions. There was a kind of mysterious mourning in his eyes, which was quickly covered up helplessly, and he stared at Fang Zheng complicatedly.

Solan trembled and asked: "Is what he said true? No, I want to see it myself! You!" She glared at Shouma especially severely, "Don't move! Keep an eye on him!" She ordered the warrior to take Shouma and A group of confidantes gathered tightly, beckoning several samurai in disbelief and galloped to the nearest wall, hundreds of meters away from the square.Fang Zheng didn't have the strength to run after him, and there was no need.He had actually seen it in the white mist.

His gaze turned to the distance. Solan led the warriors to the corner of the high wall and was directing the warriors to dig and shovel the wall.The outermost layer of wall soil is ordinary yellow mud.wrapped in stone.However, the stone was easily dug away.It couldn't even block the full blow of the samurai's axe.With a bang, the depression was opened.The wall was indeed as Fang Zheng said, not strong.

In the loose wall, there were irregular cavities at first, but when the opening expanded to about five feet, the first skeleton was found, which was a human sternum rib, and the bones were scattered in the soil.The surrounding walls collapsed one after another due to weak support, exposing the entrance of a human-high hole, and there were many bones and debris in the hole.Drops a skull from above the empty body with a bang.

In the white mist, what Fang Zheng saw was a hundred times more cruel. It wasn't that he had been reduced to ashes, but when there were still fresh corpses, like mountains of meat piled up nearby.The death patterns of these corpses are mostly similar, and the bodies are not too mutilated. It is unknown whether they died of illness or poison, perhaps—judging from the horrified death patterns on some people's faces, they may even have died of fright.In the settlement filled with death, the living are carrying the dead.Mechanically stack them into the earth wall, and then pour hot mud, water and sand...

"Enough...enough..." Solan dug out several handfuls of bones, his heart beating wildly.She strode back to the middle of the square.When she questioned sharply, many of the warriors in the company were already filled with righteous indignation and their three views were shattered, and they all gritted their teeth and looked at the chief of Tunjun.

"What the hell is going on! Why! When did so many people die, and why did they—put them—into—"

Shou Ma sighed, changed into an unbelievably calm tone, shook his head and said, "Commander, I didn't expect this secret to be kept hidden forever. In fact, many people in the city know it. They have built walls before."

Before clearing the field, the people were hiding far away at home, and could not hear the conversations of the senior officials and generals.Solan quickly ordered the warriors to find a few people to confront him.

"Dead people, that's normal. Weather disasters, ferocious animals, and even sickness will kill a lot of people." Shou Ma shook his head and said, "Dead people can make the best use of their things, and it is also a kind of protection for the living. I know this It's a bit hard to accept. But—but people are dead, so it doesn't matter where they are buried."

It was too peaceful, too peaceful, too peaceful to accept.

His vague statement did not convince most people, but they were anxious to say why.Among them, Fang Zheng's question is the most powerful. "The wall is nine feet high, and two hundred corpses can be built. It surrounds the city for nine hundred square meters, and more than eighteen thousand people died. Tell me, what kind of beast can kill in just a few days?" More than [-] people died? If it was a landslide, ground fissure, flood, and volcano, why did the bodies of these people survive?" Fang Zheng said, "Only by putting poison in the water source or spreading the disease through the air can so many people be killed quickly ! Who did it and why!"

Although Suo Lan was furious, she still calmed down at the critical moment, "Fang Zheng is right, even if you were a village chief at that time, there was no reason to kill so many people without conditions and medicine. You did it for Taikang ! Right! No wonder he, he deserved to be overthrown and killed—insane! What a lunatic, a lunatic!"

Shouma didn't respond, and there was even a little pity in the depths of his eyes, as if he was weighing something.

"Xia Zhu's former monarch?" Fang Zheng scolded, "What kind of a monarch is he who doesn't take human life seriously? What kind of country is this kind of country! Is killing people happy? Why would he do such a thing!"

Suo Lan suddenly turned his head: "So Taikang was overthrown! Zhongkang would never do such a thing. If Zhongkang was there at that time, things would never have become like that. Taikang is a lunatic, and only a lunatic will do something abnormal." thing!"

Fang Zheng felt that something was wrong, especially that Shou Ma's performance was too calm.Can you still have such a clear conscience after being exposed with blood on your hands?Building a wall with corpses is not solid at all, and its practicality is open to question.Although a lunatic cannot use logic to infer things.But Fang Zheng always felt that there might be a deeper and more secret truth in it.

"So how did you kill them, let's talk about it." Fang Zheng must first figure out the means and reasons for their poisoning.At this time, he could no longer tell the identity of a prisoner from the way he gave orders calmly.However, most people didn't have the energy to criticize, they were eager to ask Fang Zheng's mouth to find out the real reason.

"Master Taikang has indeed done some wrong things. But he didn't kill these people." Shou Ma shook his head and said, "Commander Suolan, although there are rumors about how cruel and ruthless Lord Taikang is, in fact he is just Too impatient and aggressive. Even the one who overthrew him, the current Lord Zhongkang has inherited his brother's political ideals. I think you should know it too."

"I don't have time to listen to you! He didn't kill him, how did so many people die!" Solan interrupted him loudly.She felt a little guilty, and the scene of Zhongkang and Pangmeng affirming Taikang's "nothing wrong" and "just too fast" in front of her came back.Regardless of whether Taikang went crazy or not, so many people died on a large scale under the rule. For such people, Zhongkang would inherit his system and the concept of "people of cattle and sheep", and she felt trembling in her heart.

Shou Ma looked at Fang Zheng again, "Just now the leader of the Chinese clan said that it is impossible for fierce beasts to kill tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. I thought that the Chinese clan with Bingyi, Double-headed Dragon, and Lian Zifeng would deal with these monsters. have a real concept of their abilities. Looks like I was wrong."

Fang Zheng sneered and said, "Is this going to be pushed on Xiangliu? Or is it going to be pushed on the water source polluted by red nematodes? We did see a lot of corpses along the way, but they were scattered around the watershed. The corpses with a radius of thousands of miles, could it be The dignitaries were carried to the city one by one? Xiangliu just emerged recently, and most of his body was still under the pressure. Or you want to say that it was released once before? After killing so many people, who was it? Suppressed back?"

If Bingyi and Bingfenglong show their power, how much damage can be caused to ordinary city-states, Fang Zheng hopes that there will never be a day to verify it.But judging from the experience of resisting Badian snakes at that time, many escaped slaves would not be caught by dragon beasts even if they ran fast.Fang Zheng still finds it very strange. At that time, there were no high walls in Yongjie to surround so many people. No matter how many monsters were raging, Fang Zheng's throat suddenly tightened. Thinking of the time when Zifeng lost his will, Talking about destroying settlements is destroying "ant nests".Later, passing by those abandoned villages in Yuyi, Fang Zheng also drew his sword and made up his mind, and threatened Lian Zifeng not to mess around again by killing himself.He didn't really investigate how large-scale the damage Lian Zifeng caused was. The incident in Yongjie happened more than ten years ago, so naturally he had nothing to do with Lian Zifeng.But if such sloppy and terrifying power is not limited to Lian Zifeng... No, Fang Zheng shook his head and thought, Xiangliu, Qiongqi, Mafu, and Yuyu, the power has always existed.The Sassafras and Lihuai he met in the Abyss of Cangwu before, the horse belly of Danshan, Qiongqi of Zu Jiang...all of them will cause serious damage.But no matter what, more than [-] people are really terrifying, and it is impossible.

one...?

Fang Zheng's veins throbbed faintly, no way.At this time, the Baiwu hexagram did not appear again.It doesn't appear to be a crisis for him to resolve.He could only continue to listen to Shouma's story.

Shou Ma said: "The leaders of the Chinese tribe are too smart, but it's a pity that smart people often think they are right. I don't want to go on. Anyway, you won't believe it. No one has heard of it, and who will believe it? ?”

"How do you know that no one has heard of it? Tell me, what if I, a smart person, happen to know it?" Fang Zheng said solemnly.

Shouma sighed, and finally spit out two words slowly with a complex expression: "...Xiyuan."

Everyone present showed confusion, Suo Lan said: "Don't make up some strange things to fool us. If it will cause a major threat, Lord Zhongkang will of course tell me that our armor is responsible for the defense of Xiazhu. All possible hazards must be eliminated. There is Xiangliu under Zhenshuiditai, and the achievements of Emperor Chongyu are also recorded. What is Xiyuan? I have never heard of it."

Shouma had a wry smile of "I really don't believe it" and looked helpless.Fang Zheng suddenly said, "I've heard it. Xiyuan is in Kunlun Mountain. The head priest of the Zujiang White Pagoda mentioned it. You continue to talk."

The curse of Chief Xingji and the scene Fang Zheng saw after he fell into a coma are still vivid. In the bottomless darkness, there are countless lifeless huge bones. "The monster that should be thrown into the abyss after killing it!" "Thousands of years, black sword, golden eyes, blue wings..." Fang Zheng always felt that the strangeness matched certain experiences that happened to him, such as the Chonghua sword. It is an obsidian sword, and there are also eyes in the shape of "Taiyi" on the dragon egg shell.However, "Blue Wing" is still unknown.However, these are just meaningless words uttered by the nagging star priest in a semi-conscious state. Maybe there is more than one genre of "revelation" in ancient times?Fang Zheng thought wildly.

Shou Ma's eyes widened, surprised that Fang Zheng knew this place, and said in a hoarse voice: "The leader of the Chinese tribe... really deserves his reputation. Okay, then, that's good. I can go on. There is an abyss in Kunlun Mountains .”

Fang Zheng noticed the quantifier of "one", and his expression became more solemn and serious.

When Suo Lan heard that he was not making up random things, he also became serious. He thought for a moment that Fang Zheng could not be in collusion with Shou Ma, and suddenly said: "You dare to play tricks——Dare to lie to me—"

"I'm telling the truth. Perhaps only I know about some things about Lord Taikang. I'm not surprised he ended up being betrayed by his own fault. But there's a reason for all these misfortunes... This city was built with dead people The wall is actually a helpless protection. The dead wall in Yongjie was built 12 years ago...but the root cause of the problem occurred 22 years ago. At that time, Lord Taikang was still a 16-year-old prince, and Lord Zhongkang had only Eight years old, Soran leads you..."

Solan's throat tightened and she remained silent. At that time, she was only a seven-year-old slave girl, so naturally she didn't know anything.

Shouma sighed, "At that time, I was the attendant of Prince Taikang. He took his subordinates to travel around and increase his knowledge. He is very smart and bold, but he is not stable enough, irritable and irritable, and has some minor problems. But it will never become what it was later. If there is no such thing..."

Fang Zheng thought, is this the boyhood of the later Emperor Taikang who cut Xiezhi?What made him what he became?

Shou Ma continued: "Xia Zhu and Yu Yi have always been mortal enemies. There are too many grievances and grievances of the old dynasties, and there are too many ambitions of annexation or unification. The two countries have never communicated with each other, and the border is strictly guarded. One step. But Prince Taikang has traveled to so many places, so he just wanted to take a look at Yu Yi, who was forbidden to enter. Not only that, he deliberately bypassed the strict defenses of the two countries, and went to the most dangerous and strictest place in Yu Yi. Drilling. What he wanted to go the most was Shoutong Mountain. But he didn’t find the opportunity to go there at first. He stayed in a seemingly remote place on the Yuyi border, where he met a person. I still remember that day It would be great if he didn't meet that person, no, actually I'm not sure...if so..."

Although Fang Zheng's rationality wanted to urge Shouma to say the key points, he always felt that there was very important information in it that could not be skipped, and Shouma probably didn't say these things for no reason.

"There are four places on the border of Yuyi, and that place is called 'Chunxun'." Shou Ma turned to Fang Zheng, "Does the leader of the Chinese tribe know?"

Fang Zheng remembered that in the Shoutong Mountain, Dayi's servant Qi Xi said this place name, "Chun Xun is the place where Yu Yi's heirs practiced, and the fief of the God of War, Lord Yi, is also there."

"Yes, the heir." Shou Ma was silent for a while, and then said, "At that time, the monarch of Yu Yi was still the Emperor Boyi who was originally abdicated by Emperor Chongyu. He and Qi Jun split because of the issue of abdication and succession of descendants. established the huge Yu Dynasty and established their own Fang Kingdoms. At first, when Emperor Boyi managed Yu Yi, he still wanted to continue the abdication system. At first, he did not train his sons as heirs, but trained another An excellent young man with blood ties. That person is called Zhihao, who has both ability and political integrity, and is both civil and military. He is just too young. Emperor Boyi put him in Zhenxun for training. That young man’s skills. I don’t know if Zhihao’s archery skills are good or not. I have never seen it. I only heard him play a musical instrument and tie a ponytail on a half-hollow pine tree trunk. The sound is very pleasant. "

Fang Zheng thought, it should be the embryonic form of the later Qinse.

"Although there are attendants like us, Prince Taikang is so impatient and aggressive, he often likes to act alone secretly, and no one can find him. I am very worried. One day he disappeared again, and I searched for it all night. , at noon the next day, Prince Taikang finally came back. He had a lot of wounds all over his body and was sweating profusely, but he smiled very happily and told me that he met an interesting guy. Going to compete with that guy."

"We couldn't stop him, and after treating the wound, we couldn't keep up with him. Day by day, he fought with that person every night. They changed a lot of weapons, and we can see from the different shapes of wounds. Come out. Prince Taikang is very interested, and it must be half the battle. It should be more than just a martial arts competition. Prince Taikang, who has never been impatient to memorize information about herbs and knotting, pestered each of us during that time, and everyone wanted to teach him things. After he learned it, his eyes lit up and he ran to compare with others. He was exhausted every day, but he was really happy."

"Then another day, when Prince Taikang came back, he was terribly gloomy, lost his temper, smashed everything, and beat us all up. That was the only day he didn't compete with that man, and all night I Just listen to him read, "Why you"? At that time, I didn't know who it was, and it took a few days to finally figure out that the object of Prince Taikang's daily matchmaking competition turned out to be the abdicated successor of his mortal enemy Yu Yi: Zhihao.

"Prince Taikang has inherited Qijun's ideals since he was born, and wants to conquer Yuyi and regain this half of the country. Presumably the opposite party has the same idea."

"It's too dangerous. At that time, we advised Prince Taikang not to meet that man again. I heard him secretly choking up at night. No matter how bold he was, he was only 16 years old. He couldn't be counted as a child. But it’s far from being mature enough to face these things calmly.”

"A few days later, Prince Taikang couldn't help but ran out again. But this time he didn't abandon us. He walked very slowly and walked very heavily. We were also able to see Yu Yi's heir-to-be from a distance. I It was at that time that I heard the sound of the ponytail plucking the pine wood. Zhihao was very young and handsome, and looked even a little thinner than Prince Taikang, but taller. They met under the pine hill on a moonlit night, standing in a stream The creek can be crossed in one jump, but they have been looking across the creek, as if there is an invisible barrier there."

"That was the first time I heard Zhihao's voice, and he said to Prince Taikang, 'I want to prove something. Something terrible. That will make our enemies one. But in Shoutong Mountain, very Dangerous, I don't know if I should invite you to come with me.'"

"Prince Taikang replied coldly: "I also know some terrible things. There are some in Kunlun Mountains, and there are also in Shoutong Mountain? But, do you dare to let me go? Someone in Yuyi dares to let me enter your most secret The first copper mountain in the important place?'”

"'I dare.' Zhihao said that." Shouma village chief closed his eyes and said quietly, "That was also the last time I heard his voice."

Isn't it the last time?Fang Zheng thought to himself, the one who is currently in the position of King Yuyi is the son of Emperor Boyi, a scheming old fox.As for Zhihao, the excellent Zen heir who has been carefully cultivated, he must be dead, right?Died in a corner of Shoutong Mountain?Emperor Boyi also gave up the abdication system, which must have been a big blow to him.

Prince Taikang and Zhihao went to Shoutong Mountain together, what did they see?What have you been through?Prince Taikang became that kind of lunatic.Affects radiate far, until the Dead Wall a decade later.What is the reason for the horror?Fang Zheng didn't know, a fourth white mist suddenly popped up in his mind without warning, there was no picture, and it wasn't the details of the picture of this era, and it didn't even seem to explain what angle he was going to start with, only a sentence of Fang Zheng's childhood Memorized verses.

——When the eyes are dry, the bones are visible, and the world is ruthless.
