Mountains and seas can be flat

"So, what did Zhihao and Taikang see? What does it have to do with the death of so many people in this city?" Fang Zheng continued to ask.His voice was still a little weak.In the eyes of others, especially Suo Lan, it was still a little sad—Fang Zheng had been poisoned by the dead body, and he was going to die after a while.We must quickly find out the situation and bring him back to Yanglun before the deadline, so that the monarch can have a chance to interrogate him.As for the favor owed to Fang Zheng, how to report it?It can't be done, there is no way.She will regret it for the rest of her life.

Shou Ma shook his head and said: "I couldn't go to the depths of Shoutong Mountain. Prince Taikang and Zhihao went in alone. We had to stay outside to meet them. After about ten days, Prince Taikang finally came back He was covered in terrible wounds all over his body, and he was almost out of breath. Zhihao, who traveled with him, died. As for how he died and what happened, he never told us. Prince Taikang has been a different person since that day. He became irritable, suspicious, uncertain, deep and terrifying. I have been his attendant since I was a child, and I can't understand what he is thinking."

"After Yu Yi's death, Zen made the selection, so it became a blood inheritance system." Fang Zheng thought of Yu Yi, an old fox who did not hesitate to use his son to continue his life. Handing over to outsiders, I am not reconciled, it has distorted my mind to a certain extent.

Fang Zheng thought again, when Emperor Tao Tang handed over the throne to Emperor Yao Yu, his own eldest son Dan Zhu also united with San Miao to rebel and was suppressed by Emperor Yao Yu.The abdication system was stabilized.Later, Emperor Yao Yu had no sons, only Zhuguang Xiaoming and his two daughters, who followed the Dengbei clan back to Zujiang and established themselves as empresses.Although the abdication system of the Yu Dynasty was not destroyed, there were already factors of intergenerational instability.In the third generation, the abdication could not be maintained, because Qi Jun was enough to fight against Boyi.The origin of the abdication system is that the death rate of offspring is high, and it is impossible to extend a sufficient number of heirs, and the choice is very narrow.The second is that resources were limited in the ancient times. If the talent was not strong enough, it would be difficult to rely on resources to be successful.In this case, if it is handed over to direct descendants, the tribe will soon decline easily.So it is handed over to outstanding talents who can already take charge of their own affairs to maintain social stability.But if it is the other way around, when the abdication system has been established, it is the direct future generations.For Xia Qi, for example, the situation would be very embarrassing.

This embarrassment continued in the fourth generation. Boyi wanted to maintain the abdication system, and spent energy in cultivating Zhihao—in fact, the word "cultivation" did not match the most primitive abdication system. "Let" is to hand over power to a ruler who actually already has popularity.Zhihao is too young, although he is excellent, he will be a future king.But in fact, it is only equivalent to the role of Boyi's "adopted son".Of course, Yao Chonghua had also been Emperor Tao Tang's son-in-law before succeeding to the throne, but that was only after he had gained a reputation.If Zhihao is still alive, he will definitely have a complete struggle for power with the eldest son of Emperor Boyi. No matter whether he succeeds in suppressing like Emperor Yao Yu or loses, the heir conflict will not disappear just because Emperor Boyi insists on abdicating . The existence of "potential" is objective, and the old monarch can't do anything about it.However, Zhihao died at a young age, and he didn't even grow up to the day of fighting for power.It is a matter of certainty that the position of monarch will fall into the hands of Boyi's eldest son.Since then, the abdication system has completely disappeared in the four realms, and the blood inheritance system of "Family World" has been fully implemented.

Shou Ma continued, "Yes, Emperor Boyi was hit hard and passed away two years later. The new monarch is his eldest son. Yuyi's Yu Qiang camp was also established at that time. The king of Yuyi alternated. A good opportunity to regain the lost land, Xia Zhu launched a war against Yu Yi. He originally appointed Peng Meng as the commander, and Prince Taikang also volunteered to be the vanguard. But after the war, he could not win. The commander Peng Meng sued Qi Jun, It is said that Prince Taikang is fooling around, commanding indiscriminately, and ruining many of his strategic plans. In addition, although the situation in Yuyi is turbulent, Lord Yi is still there. Although Lord Yi has retired because of his age, the new king begged him , he went into battle for the last time. Yu Yi slowly put the chaotic armaments in order, and then the two sides were at a stalemate, and it was hastily settled. I followed Prince Taikang, who was called back by Qijun to interrogate him, and he was not allowed to intervene in the battle preparations. However, it was impossible to capture Yu Yi at that time. Prince Taikang said that he did not do it on purpose, but he was inexperienced and eager for success, and made some mistakes. Qi Jun severely reprimanded him and beat him A few meals, and another half a year of punishment. But our confidantes know that Prince Taikang is actually deliberately sabotaging, so that Pengmeng can't successfully attack Yu Yi. Many opportunities for victory have been missed."

Fang Zheng was speechless, how many people would die in a war.This prince Taikang is probably not a quasi-spy of Yu Yi. If the king of Yu Yi knew it, he would laugh like crazy.He couldn't help complaining: "That's it, he can still succeed?" Solan was also furious when he heard it, and couldn't stop scolding: "Crazy."

Shou Ma shook his head and said, "Even though Pang Meng had some doubts, there is still no evidence. If this kind of thing is confirmed, Prince Taikang will indeed never be able to inherit the throne. The throne was passed on to Prince Taikang. On the day of succession, Prince Taikang cut off the Xiezhi, and it ran away. In the Taimiao where everyone was dismissed, Prince Taikang laughed wildly in the blood, no, he is no longer a prince, It’s the king. I don’t know what he’s laughing at. I heard him chanting Zhihao’s name, but it’s been ten years since Zhihao died in the Shoutong Mountain. Head of the village, one night after half a year in office, that horrible thing happened."

Fang Zheng looked dignified, and Shou Ma finally got to the point.Others did not dare to breathe, and only the sound of wind was heard in the square.

"I remember very clearly that at night, the wind was blowing like this. At that time, there were no high walls in Yongjie. Some farms were separated by stone and soil. The most densely populated area had a prototype of a simple earth wall, which was just for the convenience of everyone's life. At first , I heard some wild beasts howling in the distance, it's normal. But I also asked the guards to pay attention to the situation. At that time, the commander of the armored army was Lord Xi Bo, he was not here, and of course Pang Meng was not here. The warriors here They are also under the supervision of Captain Qian. I have always had a good relationship with them. They quickly came back from the investigation and said that it was just some wolves migrating at night, pay attention to defense, and it’s not a big deal. But my eyelids always twitch, so I don’t worry. In the second half of the night, I was about to fall asleep, when most people were asleep. I lay down for a while, and suddenly felt out of breath, as if my mouth and nose were covered by something, and I couldn’t breathe at all. I struggled and rolled I was still suffocated when I reached the ground. Then I leaned on the wall and barely got up. At a certain point in the middle, I was able to breathe again suddenly. It was like the feeling of coming out of the water to breathe fresh air. I was so strange, I called out quickly People, but I suffocated immediately when I sat down, and it was fine when I stood up. I was calling for someone, and I was careful to test. I found that when it was lower than a certain height, which was about my waist height, I would not be able to breathe air. It’s like there’s a water level there, and there’s water below, and if you drown, you’ll suffocate.”

Solan and the others were incredulous, "Is there such a thing? Is there such water in the world? You can't feel it, but it can suffocate you?"

"It's fine if you don't believe it." Shou Ma shook his head helplessly.

"I believe. Ruoshui is like this. I have been to Jianmu." Fang Zheng said suddenly, "Go on."

Shou Ma looked at Fang Zheng with admiring eyes, "The well-informed Chinese leader... Yes, the weak water under Jianmu is as deep as a thousand feet. No creature can swim through it. There is no air in the weak water, even fish I can’t breathe either. In ancient times, there was only one kind of fish whose bones could float on the weak water. It was actually a descendant of a dragon, half fish and half snake, called Yanwei, whose bones could be as big as bridges.”

"Dragon can also swim in weak water for a while." Fang Zheng said lightly, "Dragon brings rain, and rainwater forms a layer in weak water. But what dragons gather is ordinary water vapor, weak water can neither be stirred nor evaporated to form The water cycle cannot be the weak water brought by dragons. Jianmu is thousands of miles away, so the weak water will not fly over, right?"

Shou Ma said: "There are not only weak waters beside Jianmu in the world. There are also weak waters in the abyss in Kunlun Mountains. That is also a bottomless abyss."

Fang Zheng remembered the dream he had had, the countless huge bones in the weak water of Kunlun Mountain, and wondered: "Could it be a piece of weak water that attacked Yongjie? How did it appear? Continue to talk."

Shouma said: "Unfortunately, most of the people were asleep at that time. They lay down in a low position and suffocated to death unconsciously in their sleep. Some people woke up but couldn't move and died of panic. A few people struggled to stand up and were rescued." .The next day we counted, and more than 1 people died. Weak water was still there at that time. We couldn't touch it, but we could feel it as long as we bent down. No one dared to sleep. We ran to the nearby high ground , we were lucky to find that it has a boundary. We calculated the boundary shape of the weak water and searched for its source. It was found that it was about two boundary lengths. The shape was round. There was no support at its boundary either, like It is gathered in the air out of thin air. We don't know how to separate them. It is said to be water, but it does not flow to low-lying places. It is like a suspended ball. Yongjie is in the depression, weak water is like a huge The round winnows covered us. I dug up the soil layer on the nearby high mountains and found that the insects inside were all suffocated. Even stones and soil could not block the weak water. It blocked the air, and many creatures on the ground They're all dead. We haven't found the source, it's like falling from the sky or—" Shouma took two deep breaths, "... coming up from the ground. Most likely it came up from the ground, because it's been growing High'. At the beginning, it was only as high as a person's waist, and after two days it was already taller than a person. I can't go back, and people will suffocate as soon as they enter that area. It 'drowns' over people's body head."

This unimaginable thing made the eyes of those present straighten, and Fang Zheng was also very surprised.However, there are so many unscientific things in this era, and one more thing is nothing.What Fang Zheng cares about is that weak water does not have the characteristic of flowing with the trend, nor can it touch the boundary in the dimension of the entity.But it does exist, can directly act and affect people.If we look at it with the physical knowledge of later generations, it is not so much "water" as it is a certain form of "field force".

But, can these things be explained by science?Fang Zheng thought about it or forgot it. There are too many mythical monsters in time and space. He continued to listen to Shouma's story about what happened later.

"I sent someone to report this matter to Lord Taikang. At that time, it would take seven days to reach Yanglun City at the earliest. During these seven days, Yongjie was a dead city. The living people ran out. But there are still dead inside. More than 1 people. It was summer at that time. I was worried that the corpse would rot. But then I thought, since there is no gas inside, the corpse will not rot. After another seven days, news came back from Yanglun City. Came here in person."

"At that time, we measured it with a bird, and the height of the weak water had risen to six ren high," Shou Ma said, "and it moved a little, irregularly, like a ball rolling around. Covered in it. When King Taikang came, he stood with me on the edge of the weak water. He went in and out several times. I have never seen him like that. He was so fearful and hated that he seemed to collapse at any time. He said, we must put It blocks it, and it can't let it swell again. There are countless undead monsters buried under it. Only weak water can seal them. They won't die, but they can't move in weak water, so they will be sealed forever It is inside. But if all the weak water rises out, these monsters may come alive if they can touch the land and air. Where there are weak waters, they are generally bottomless. The monsters are subdued by the hero and thrown into the weak water , it is called 'Xuyuan'."

Fang Zheng's brain seemed to be plucked with a giant string sticky with blood, and the dusty air of countless past events floated up.

"Wait a minute...the weak water of Jianmu and the weak water of Kunlun Mountain..."

"Yes, there are countless monsters locked inside. But don't worry. Those weak waters are thousands of feet deep."

"Then how could it emerge from the ground and cover Yongjie City?" Fang Zheng felt incredible.But then he thought, according to the geology of later generations, the plates will move at a depth of several thousand meters below the surface.So it makes sense if weak water circulates in geological layers.Although the distance between Jianmu and Kunlun Mountains is thousands of miles, if the abyss there is under the geological layer, it is normal for the weak water to have a connecting channel.But for the people of ancient times, it was not a disaster that could only be explained by the power of gods and ghosts.

As for the sudden emergence of weak water, it may be that the geological plate is squeezed at a very deep place, and the butterfly effect affects the water circulation channel.Fang Zheng thought again, no, and the physical body of "water" cannot be used to define it.It should still be some kind of special "field".The flow under the plate is not the same as the normal water cycle.But it's always possible to connect.Fang Zheng is not very proficient in this area of ​​professional knowledge.But to understand this matter with his scientific view, he can barely convince himself to understand it.But it seemed that other people in this world would not understand, which caused a great psychological shadow.

"Then how high did this piece of weak water rise, and did monsters emerge?" Fang Zheng continued to ask.He asked too calmly, forming a sharp contrast with everyone present.

Shou Ma shook his head and said: "In the end, the weak water rose to about eight ren high, and there were no monsters. After the tenth day, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace. No, all the dead people in Yongjie are traces. Taikang The king said to me like crazy, to 'block it', so I started to build a high wall. I wanted to build nine feet, higher than weak water, so that people can stand on the wall in the future. He started to vigorously engage in witch spirit worship. when."

"The wall can't stop the weak water. Since it came out of the ground, and it rose to eight ren this time, it may be higher next time." Fang Zheng complained, thinking what kind of retarded thinking this is.But it's not all their superstition to blame.With the technology and productivity of this era, there is no way to solve these things.

"But Lord Taikang asked me to build it. He said that if you can't stop weak water, you can stop monsters. Maybe he was too anxious and had to do something. I said there was not enough material. He said he would pile the corpses in. He said Laughing wildly, he said that the corpse can be blocked, there is air in the corpse, there is blood in the corpse, you can hold it in the corpse, you can bury your head in the internal organs of the corpse... I am really horrified to hear those words. I have a guess in my heart but not Dare to ask him... When he and Zhihao were in the Shoutong Mountain, maybe they encountered a piece of weak water that suddenly appeared, maybe some monsters came out of it, how did he survive..."

Fang Zheng was terrified after thinking about it for a while, and quickly stopped him, "Don't guess about these things. Let me ask you, does Xiang Liu have anything to do with this?"

Shou Ma hesitated and said: "It's not really relevant. The area where the weak water came up ten years ago did not reach the Banyue Mountain on the ground. Xiangliu is indeed a problem that just appeared not long ago..."

But Fang Zheng's thinking is different from theirs.Ruo Shui is said to be "thousands of feet deep" in the abyss. It is possible that although it is only a few feet above the ground, it is like a corner of an iceberg. No one knows how big the field below is.Its area under the surface may have affected Banyue Mountain, causing Xiangliu's seal to loosen.He thought a little further, maybe the impact of the loosening of other monsters' seals is not just a simple "years"... Otherwise, why would so many suppressed monsters emerge in a short period of time.

Fang Zheng thought that Emperor Yao Yu used "raw eyes" and "dead eyes" to suppress monsters. Firstly, it might be because Jianmu and the weak water of Kunlun Mountain were too remote to subdue the monsters and throw them into them after trekking thousands of miles.Secondly, he trained the spirit to discharge, which is also to some extent the use of field force.The ancients didn't understand the principle of knowledge, but after they found out and followed the steps through countless trials and errors, they would agree on what would happen, which became their "technique".

What exactly is weak water.Fang Zheng couldn't define it clearly, not only the knowledge of the ancient times couldn't give a solution, even the scientific knowledge of later generations can only roughly analyze what type it belongs to, but it can't solve the problem.It's no wonder that Taikang's knowledge system and mental state are crazy.The emergence of Ruo Shui is the chief culprit of Zhi Hao's death, leaving him with a deep psychological shadow, and he did not hesitate to make troubles to prevent Peng Meng from attacking Yu Yi, which is almost treasonous. Is he using such a tragic and childish way to pay homage to his friend? ?

Later, similar problems reappeared, and nearly 2 people died overnight in Yongjie City.It is closely related to the most ancient and ancient horrors. It has sealed so many ancient monsters. It should have been lying on the far side, which is rare in the world. The depths of Jianmu and Kunlun are places where manpower is difficult to reach.But it is so unpredictable that it will emerge from the ground, even a great warrior cannot resist this kind of thing.There is a poem in later generations, "draw your sword and look around at a loss".Taikang had no choice but to pin his hopes on Wu Ling, and began to think that life was meaningless, and he did not care about the consequences of everything, so Xia Zhu regressed to a slavery regime...

It turns out that Fang Zheng has already thought through a series of questions behind this.In his view, the "field" disaster of weak water should also be caused by the flow of geological plates, similar to earthquakes, unpredictable and purely natural disasters.Don't rack your brains trying to figure out how to fight it.Meaningless……

Is it really?Fang Zheng suddenly thought of a very critical question, "If it is really the weak water in Kunlun Mountain or Jianmu, why are they there all the time? If the weak water in Yongjie appears overnight and disappears after a few nights, it means that This kind of thing is very unstable, so why has there been a knowledge of weak water in ancient times, and the weak water in Jianmu and Kunlun Mountains has never been unstable. Why?"

"That's right..." Shou Ma seemed to think of this question belatedly, and pondered, "The leader of the Chinese clan is really smart. If you say it like this, it really...is a problem."

---

In the wilderness, the sky is low, and the grass grows and warblers fly.

"Master, if you don't teach me archery or sword skills today, is there any good story?"

"Xiao Zifeng wants to hear the story again? Last time, did it tell me that I got the arrow branch from the hibiscus tree and came back. It is in the sea, and there is an eye in the sea called 'Return to the Market'. No creature can survive there. "

"Then will it float around in the sea?"

"No, Guixu Pass is full of terrible monsters. If they move around, other fish in the sea will be in trouble." Yijun with white hair stroked the child's head and smiled kindly, "Don't be afraid. 200 Years ago, the Yanlian clan township of Fusang wood in Guixuyan; 190 years ago, Emperor Youxiong township of Jianmu in Dongjiyan; 180 years ago, Emperor Ku township of Ruomu in Kunlunyan... It won’t move anymore. That’s the source of stability for the 70-year golden age of the Yu Dynasty. In the future, Xiao Zifeng will also be a great hero and keep all the monsters inside.”

"Guixu, Jianmu, Kunlun... are all so far away." Zifeng rested his head in Master's arms. "How the hell did it get here?"

"Xiyuan must be so far away, so as to protect the people." Yijun stroked his hair, "Weak water is also so far away, it will not harm the world. It is a natural cage for monsters. But if there is no Tiantian Shenmu, they will become a catastrophe. I don't know how the weak water came from, probably because there are too many monsters, and their qi becomes."

"Fortunately." Dayi smiled and comforted the young apprentice, "Although there are only three god trees in this world, there are only three abysses."

Dayi, who was over seventy years old, did not know that in the depths of Shoutong Mountain, 16-year-old Taikang and Zhihao discovered the fourth abyss in the world.It was not subdued, carrying the resentment of an ancient monster, flowing in the world ever since.
