Mountains and seas can be flat

"What is 'Taiyi'?" Zifeng fell into doubt as he recited the lyrics of Fang Zheng's extradition to him.This matter is very important, Fang Zheng didn't want the third person to hear it, so he discussed it with Zifeng alone.

Zu Jiang's chief star priest also once muttered about Taiyi.The golden eyes on the dragon egg are also Taiyi.In ancient mythology, there is Donghuang Taiyi.In Taoism, Taiyi is also Taiyi, and Taiyi real person was derived.The meanings are different.Fang Zhengdao, "Taiyi here means Yuanyuan, right?"

As expected, he got a pair of confused eyes.Fang Zheng thought to himself that although people in this era don’t know about the Big Bang, they do know the legend of the creation of the universe, so he patiently explained to him, “It’s the thing that existed before Pangu created the world—we don’t know whether Pangu existed or not, but that mass There must be things.” Although there are many phenomena in the universe, there is always a root, which is “the One”.In natural science, it is the "singularity" of the Big Bang.

Sure enough, brother Zheng knew everything, Lian Zifeng's eyes lit up, and he asked again: "Then why does Tai produce water instead of fire, wind, and other things?"

To explain it with the science of later generations, of course it is because water is the source of life.Life originated in the ocean.But Fang Zheng couldn't finish his natural science system now, so he had to say: "Because water is suitable for life, children are wrapped in amniotic fluid."

Lian Zifeng couldn't help nodding.But the following content is not suitable for such a shallow metaphor.

——Taiyi creates water, and water supplements Taiyi to make the whole sky.

According to the explanation of natural science, it is the long formation period of geology, in the boundless sea water and inorganic matter, there are bacteria, metabolism, and air... "This group of things and water create the 'sky'. The process is very Complicated." Fang Zheng bit the bullet and perfunctory.

——Heaven turns against Taiyi to form Earth.

With the atmosphere, ocean currents, heat and cold, the seawater gradually evaporated, exposing the coastline and seabed, and the geological plate uplifted... "After some tossing between the 'sky' and that mass, the earth was formed."

Zifeng seems to understand but not understand.But he didn't care too much about why.Myths are irrelevant.

——Water, sky, and earth conceive all things.

Everything is born in the chaotic water, sky and earth of mountains and seas.It can perfectly correspond to the natural sciences.Fang Zheng thought about the next few words.

——Tian Shui remnants, into Baidou, into obsidian.

Two kinds of peculiar ores formed by the interaction of water and geological climate.The black pillars, Chonghua sword, and tripod ruler of the Huaxu people in Tongshan are all obsidian... Fang Zheng remembered seeing the huge radiant white stone on the tomb of Emperor Yao Yu in the Abyss of Cangwu. "Mending the sky stone", it should also be the ore named "Baiguan".

In the long geological rheology, it has extruded different densities and has different chemical and physical properties.Jade medicine, jade paste, jade, chalcedony... In the legend of Yinglongfeng's white jade paste, the people of the jade people eat jade and live a long life, and even the Kira beasts of the Qigong people all have their shadows... In the history of mythology, it is like a mask covering the face. Ghosts come and go in different ways.

Is the white crystal stone used to shape the body of Qi Jun the most advanced type in "White Stone"?

The Huaxu people have mastered the secrets of these two natural water-borne stones and recorded them in jade carvings.They mined a large number of jade mines, and not all jade stones are white stones, but the probability of finding them in places rich in jade mines is undoubtedly greatly increased.The relics and weapons were also made of obsidian, which spread endlessly...

——Earth and water remnants, transforming dragons, scorpions, and trees.

This is the category that Fang Zheng cannot use the natural science of later generations to think about.Water, the origin of all things, and geology, which gave birth to all creatures, interact with each other to evolve the existence of the ultimate ecological chain such as ancient dragons and beasts; dragons have no reproductive system, and stone eggs are born naturally, which is equivalent to the earth and water. The parents of... are called the remnants of land and water.

"Wood", do you mean incredible plants like Jianmu, Wakagi, Hibiscus, Sanzhushu, etc.?

And, the "Xianyuan" that can swallow everything is also transformed by the remnants of the earth and water.

No wonder the keel can explode Xiyuan, no wonder Jianmu can restrain Xiyuan, no wonder Shenmu fruit can control the power of dragon beast blood.In terms of genealogy - which cannot be defined by what humans call blood brothers and sisters - their power levels should be comparable.Or in other words, their sources all point to the remnants of groundwater.That is to come from the same source, and in the process of differentiation, they are evenly matched.

——The essence of water is as good as the sky.The essence of wood is on par with the ground.

What is the Water Spirit?What is the spirit of wood?Although I don't quite understand it, it must be the supreme source of the two ancient power systems that are decisive in this world of mountains and seas after being conceived by Tai Yi.

Water reminded Fang Zheng of the origin of life and the pursuit of immortal power from generation to generation; while wood directly reminded him of Jianmu, Fusang, Ruomu and other sacred trees.

As for the bloodlines of flowers and dragons, wandering immortal monsters, big caterpillars with extravagant corpses, the five colors of the sun and the moon, and the destructive power of ants...all of these were born and passed in the process of exploring the mysterious and magnificent power later, and different things were added. , creating a new system.Man-made, unintentional, and natural selection... At one time, it was against the most primitive power system...

Intelligent creatures have left their traces, and human beings, who are small but endless, also have a lot of handwriting in it.It even once affected the most fundamental pattern of this land of mountains and seas——

Fang Zheng let his thoughts drift away, unable to understand a question, "Both Jianmu and Ruomu are on land. But why is Fusangmu in the distant sea?"

Zifeng was a little surprised that Fang Zheng would ask this kind of "pediatrics".Little did he know that Fang Zheng's first meaningful ambition when he came to this world was to find out what was going on with Jianmu and why he could grow so tall, which could be seen thousands of miles away.It is commonplace for people of this era.

Baiwu will give Fang Zheng general or realistic useful information, but will not reproduce a certain myth 200 years ago for Fang Zheng, when they have been widely circulated.

Zifeng happily told Fang Zheng: "Brother Zheng. The hibiscus tree was not so tall at the beginning. It was cultivated by the Yanlian family in Guixuyan 200 years ago. It grew more than 200 meters overnight. It is said that it is Yanlian. Shi "planted" hibiscus wood. My master told me stories like this when I was a child. But Ten Witches later said it more practically. The method is to make it strong and tall, and suppress the abyss in the eyes of Guixu—this is the first time to stimulate the power of the Heaven-Suppressing Shenmu, the turbulence is too strong—half of the land sank.”

Fang Zheng's eyes widened: "Half of what sank???"

"Land. In the past, Jianmu was in the middle of the land, and Fusang was on the east side of the land. That time, the Fusang tree was stimulated by Yan Lian to grow extremely tall. The force was so great that half of the land collapsed and was submerged by sea water."

Fang Zheng thought to himself, the Yanlian family is the Yan Emperor in the myth, right?The sinking of half of the land stimulated Fang Zheng's brain to almost shut down, and it suddenly occurred to him that he had thought about this problem before, when he was discussing weapons with King Yu Yi.

It is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" that Fusang is the big tree, 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.And Jianmu, "covering the sky and the earth", is where the sun hangs at the highest altitude. When the sun travels above Jianmu without shadow, 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.Hibiscus wood, which is more east than Jianmu, stands in the distant East China Sea.

"It's terrible." Fang Zheng took a breath, "How many people will die."

Zifeng said: "No. 200 years ago, there were far fewer people than there are now. Monsters were rampant on the land. Thanks to the sinking of half of the land, most of the monsters were in the sea."

Fang Zhengwei really didn't expect, "But Emperor Yan...cough, Yanlian clan is the head of the tribe, so he has many subjects."

"He was no longer at that time." Zifeng continued to share the familiar legends. Fang Zheng rarely had such a dazed expression. It was really cute, which made Zifeng's heart flutter slightly.

"The Yanlian clan fought with the Youxiong clan back then, and the Youxiong clan defeated him and called him the Yellow Emperor. The Yanlian clan brought their people back to submit. Later they discovered that there were too many monsters on the land. They ran rampant and unscrupulous. The human race is too few and too weak. No matter It is difficult to live a safe life in victory or defeat. The Yanlian clan entrusted all the clansmen to the Yellow Emperor, and went to Guixuyan with his confidants, vaguely knowing that there would be great turmoil, and the Yellow Emperor took all the clans to the west in advance. Yanlian He came to Guixuyan through the hinterland of the east land where monsters were rampant. He originally wanted to use the hibiscus wood to suppress the monsters. Unexpectedly, the trigger force was too great. The Shenmu pierced into the sky. The land tilted. The goal has been basically achieved. The Guixu Eye under the hibiscus tree is huge and no longer turbulent. It has swallowed a large number of monsters, and most of the monsters buried in the sea have completely disappeared. Even if their descendants adapt to the sea and survive, they will never be able to land again. .The human race has been much better since then."

Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard it, what a tragic era it was, and he had to pay such a price of burning jade and stone in order to survive.Is it "wood essence" that causes hibiscus to grow taller?It's so terrifying?

Fang Zheng immediately asked: "What about the later Jianmu and Ruomu... Aren't there many remains of the Huaxu people in Jianmu?"

"Jianmu has also grown for tens of thousands of years. At the beginning, Jianmu was not too tall, and it was not surrounded by weak water. Otherwise, how could the ancient Huaxu people toss flowers and dragons in it? After the Yanlian family caused Fusang Lu Shen , there are still many fierce beasts in the middle and west. 190 years ago, the Yellow Emperor inspired the power of Jianmu. "

Fang Zheng said: "But this time the land did not sink."

Zifeng said: "Yanlian taught him some lessons. The Yellow Emperor added some other things to control the power balance of Shenmu. He drove Yinglong to fly into Jianmu, and never came back. I was in the ruins under Jianmu, I have seen a huge dragon claw phalanx. Brother Zheng, do you know why there are only phalanges?"

The cyan wings reminded Fang Zheng how Zifeng pulled out the smallest long bone in his arm by the Yellow River and shot it into the sky, blasting the wall.

"The keel bone Tianfeng." Zifeng frowned, "I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand—it was the rest of the long bones of Yinglong, which exploded. Thanks to this explosion, the remaining breath of the earth and water controlled the power of Xiyuan and Shenmu. .Half of the continent didn’t sink.”

Fang Zheng couldn't hide his surprise, and his brain was running fast, "...But, the place where Yinglong's bones are buried, isn't it in the 'Yinglong Peak' of Shoutong Mountain? This is what Prince Yu Yi said."

Zifeng really likes to see Fang Zheng racking his brains but still has no solution.On the contrary, I can easily point it out, "Brother Zheng, Yinglong is not the name of a dragon. 'Ying'long refers to a dragon that can respond to the Yellow Emperor's call. Then a person with skills can have several dragons. "

Fang Zheng also didn't care about showing a lack of common sense in front of Zifeng. This was the only moment when he could let go of the pretense and not worry. "What happened later? There is another Ruomu tree in the west."

Zifeng said: "Before the Yellow Emperor left, he entrusted the tribe to the Junku clan. But the Junku clan gradually discovered that although Fusang and Jianmu were suppressed, there were still many remaining monsters on the mainland that affected the survival and development of human beings. 180 years ago , Mr. Junku went to the Kunlun Eye, inspired Ruomu's power, and suppressed the abyss in the Kunlun abyss."

"Does the Junku family have dragons that can be blown up?" Fang Zheng blurted out, it was clearly such a grand and tragic past, Zifeng still couldn't help laughing when he asked him.

Zifeng said: "He doesn't have a dragon. The dragons left with the Yellow Emperor. But there are also rumors that he took a dragon egg left by the Yellow Emperor to Kunlun. The dragon egg should not have enough power to use it. I didn't know it later. Where to put it——” He reacted belatedly, and said in surprise, “Brother Zheng! Could it be——”

Fang Zheng's golden eggs were picked from the belly of Kunlun Mountain.There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.

In surprise, Fang Zheng continued to ask: "Since the dragon egg is left, how did he arouse Ruomu's power and maintain balance? Besides the dragon bone, is there another way?"

Zifeng shook his head: "I don't know. There is no story passed down. The Junku family also went there alone. Although Jianmu is by the sea, everyone can see it, and there are people who have gone there in the past hundred years. Even the dangerous hibiscus in the sea, I am Master has also been there—the kind he admires Yan Lian—” Zifeng racked his brains and didn’t know how to describe it.

"—Being the first in the world, not afraid of sacrifice, throwing your head and blood?" Fang Zheng memorized elementary school textbooks skillfully, complaining in his heart, so Jun Yi went to Fusang wood to get arrows?This is the power of idols?Similar to the spirit of "admiring" the martyrs?If this Lord Yi was in later generations, he would also be a revolutionary talent...

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zifeng clapped his hands and smiled instead, "Brother Zheng will say it. Master named me Lian Zifeng. It's the word 'Lian' from Yanlian. Anyway, I—"

The voice stopped abruptly.Zifeng's eyes darkened, and he changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "But it's strange, Ruomu, no one has ever been there. No one can see it. During the years I stayed in Zujiangyao City, I patrolled Kunlun Mountain every day, and I didn't see it once. I have seen it. It may be that Kunlun Mountain is too high, covered by clouds and snow, but when the sun is the best, you can see hundreds of snow peaks in Kunlun, but you can’t find where Ruomu is. But it does exist, otherwise Kunlun Mountain Xiyuan won't be quiet...it's strange."

Fang Zheng nodded and said: "For 30 consecutive years, the three great leaders of the human race have successively inspired the power of the three sacred trees. The monsters have basically been suppressed."

"That's right." Zifeng sighed, "Master said, without these three god-suppressing trees, without the sacrifices of Yanlian, Youxiong, and Junku, this land is full of monsters, and it's not up to the human race to make decisions." .”

"And later?"

"Junku entrusted the people to Zhuanxu, and Zhuanxu entrusted Shaodian. Finally, 100 years ago, the Quartet was basically stable. Some snake-taming peoples such as the matriarchal line in the west and the south gradually developed. But Badian and Zujiang, either It is bloody and primitive, or the structure is extreme. And more than a hundred years ago, they were just small tribes, bathed in the glory of the Yu Dynasty. Shaodian entrusted the country to the 20-year-old Tao Tang. Tao Tang is a descendant of the Kujun family , with a long life span. He was in the prime of life and led the Yu Dynasty to glory. The master said that the foundation laid before the Yu Dynasty was able to have a golden age for a hundred years. The farther you go, the safer the country is, so even if he gets seriously injured every time, I'm happy."

"Yes." Fang Zheng asked himself not to think about where Ruo Mu was for the time being, his heart was surging, he was moved and excited by the unyielding struggle of human beings for hundreds of years, and the price was so tragic, "Half of the continent..." It is hard to tell right from wrong, and from the standpoint of later generations of natural science or environmentalists, the criticism will probably be useless, denouncing the selfishness and inferiority of human beings in order to survive and develop.But this is the choice of human beings as intelligent creatures to carry out their will to the extreme.

He still didn't ignore Zifeng's depressed mood.Was it the mention of the name given by the master just now that made Zifeng think that now he is no longer a human being, has a long and lonely life, and is shrouded by the loneliness in his blood.

Fang Zheng gently combed the feathers of the front wing feathers.Zifeng put his face on it, rubbed the warmth of his palm, and fell on Fang Zheng's shoulder coquettishly, and said in confusion: "If the human race doesn't collapse that half of Lu Chen, it will definitely be wiped out. In my opinion, it's nothing, I don't care at all... ..."

Zifeng tilted his head sideways, his black and red eyes locked on Fang Zheng.Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't tilt his head, he sighed and rested his head on Fang Zheng's neck. "Would it make Brother Zheng sad to say that. But I still want to tell the truth to Brother Zheng." He seemed to be reminding himself and Fang Zheng that they were not of my race.Touch some painful areas to confirm the feeling of safety.Zifeng knew that this was a bit harsh, but he had to obtain this kind of proof from Fang Zheng.

It's like willful coquetry, but also like fatal sentimentality.

Fang Zheng comforted: "You don't have to force yourself to empathize with others, let alone envy others. It's not enough for people to envy you."

"Brother Zheng, there is really a way to live longer in this world, will you stay with me forever?" In fact, Zifeng has been thinking about this question ever since Qijun appeared.

"Who doesn't want to live forever?" Fang Zheng shook his head lightly, "However, for such a thing, it depends on the opportunity and the price. The tribal leaders 200 years ago were so powerful, and they knew about longevity. But they are all for more important things sacrificed."

Zifeng's eyes darkened, "If I were the one to choose, I would rather the entire continent sink, even if I had to kill all the people - it would be the price. This is the most important thing. Brother Zheng, but I know you No." He clenched his fists and eyes hurt, bit his lips, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he forced himself to close them.

Fang Zheng pretended to be deaf and dumb.But he couldn't bear the consequences of Zifeng's madness, so he just gently held Zifeng in his arms.Fang Zheng was a little worried that if the precipitation was too deep, it would become an out-of-control emotion.He had to let Zifeng be released.Had to make a decision.Fang Zheng forced a smile, touched Zifeng's forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it all day long. Why don't you take me for a flight. Now take me to see the Hongshan Jade Mine. But you ——" Fang Zheng lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed, "bite my neck lightly, it hurts a bit. I'm not very happy either."
