Mountains and seas can be flat

Not to mention that Qi Jun has tried various methods to reveal the secrets of Fang Zheng, but there has been no progress.Fang Zheng also tried to get all kinds of information in turn.Qi Jun lives in a dark place, but he likes the white stones embedded in the walls.Fang Zheng once asked him: "What do you want Xiezhi to do when you ask Xiezhi to release those jade stones?" It is not easy for Xiezhi to recover, and now is the critical period of transformation.

"Food cannot be eaten raw, it needs to be boiled." Qi Jun said, "Isn't this a very simple truth?"

Fang Zheng heard that he actually used this to describe the relationship between Xiezhi's metabolism of jade.I couldn't help but think that those jades came from Xiezhi's... place.And he likens it to "food."Fang Zheng feels cold when he thinks about it too much.Faintly grasped a message: Qi Jun does not eat normal meals, but he can move, so he will definitely consume energy.How does that body refuel?Is the jade "processed" by Xiezhi his "cooked food"?

Now that the cave has been intercepted by Fang Zheng, it makes sense for Abandoned King to go to great lengths to arrest him.If he doesn't exchange that Xiezhi back, will he "run out of food"?Will there be such a good thing?

Fang Zheng then sneered and said: "Unfortunately, the Xiezhi you cook has almost turned back to a normal animal, and can't 'cook and cook' for you. Are you going to starve to death?"

Abandoned Jun snorted coldly: "Do you think I will be anxious? No. I have a lot of reserves. When they fall back into my hands, I will reform them. You have become like this. I won Qinglongling , I don’t think it will take long.”

"They", Fang Zheng thought to himself, did he know that there is more than one Xiezhi in Qinglong Ridge?What is the means by which Abandoned King obtains information?It should not rely on people to send him news.He hates people so much that he basically doesn't talk to people, maybe he manipulates animals.

"You haven't communicated with anyone for decades, but I think your speech is quite normal." Fang Zheng has nothing to say, and many people have become dumb after not speaking for a long time.Or talk to yourself and talk upside down.Abandoning the king is a psychopath.His language function has not deteriorated much.Fang Zheng soaked in the jar every day, calm and calm, and his mentality was still stable.But if he doesn't take the initiative to break the monotonous and boring rhythm.Abandoning the king will explore some places that are not necessary and make Fang Zheng very uncomfortable.This has nothing to do with masculinity and femininity, or even with humans and animals. Qi Jun is such a person, and he can take revenge on Fang Zheng and enjoy it.Fang Zheng wants to look for opportunities in the disadvantages.

"Although I hate talking to people, I have many opportunities to talk. There are not only people in the world who can talk." Qi Jun said contemptuously.After a few days, Fang Zheng understood the real meaning.

On the third day, Qi Jun put Fang Zheng's jar on the back of a huge toad and carried it out.The toad was as tall as a small elephant, and it was too big to jump, so it could only crawl slowly on the ground.It is no longer a normal toad.Abandoned Jun scraped the pimple on its back, set up a leather saddle, and fixed its limbs with wooden brackets.Abandoned King took Fang Zheng out of a place similar to the underground dunes.Outside is a vast desert, with circles of fixed sand dunes and many rocky rocks in the distance.

It is the starry sky in the middle of the night, the Milky Way is like a sky, and a full moon is floating in the sky.Abandoned Jun brought Fang Zheng to the root of a huge dead tree.The tree roots, as huge as wheels, were half buried in the ground, and their bony arms stretched out in all directions.It is Populus euphratica.

"Immortal wood." Abandoned Jun took a certain substance from the trunk, and added it to Fangzheng's jar while it was still fresh.

Fang Zheng knew Populus euphratica, a plant with tenacious vitality. "It can live for 1000 years, die for 1000 years, and fall for 1000 years. It is called immortal wood." Fang Zheng said, "Look for the material of immortality here?"

Qi Jun glanced at him unexpectedly: "You know a lot. When you look at this kind of tree, don't you feel that people are so sad? With such little strength, the body is easy to get hurt, and the mood can be bad. It will be gone in decades. Everything that happened Caught off guard, never coming back again, there is no chance of turning around. Only the Huaxu people were a little better, and they died cleanly afterwards. Now these human races, I don’t even want to take a second look.”

Fang Zhengdao: "The morning bacteria don't know the dark days, and the crickets don't know the spring and autumn. When you see the immortal tree, you think of the sadness of human beings. What I think of is the unyielding will. No matter how short life is, even if there is only a glimmer of clarity in the dream, you must hold on to it. .Otherwise even the tree is inferior.”

Qi Jun sneered and said, "Fang Zheng, what you said is really strange. Isn't it normal that people are inferior to animals and plants?" bias.Abandoning the monarch can be said to be the pinnacle representative of this extreme view.

"If it's really not as good, how can it survive to the present. Flowers and dragons. Heaven-suppressing sacred trees. Three generations of golden Yu Dynasty..." There are bloody and terrifying incidents, and there are also feats of meritorious deeds.While Fang Zheng was talking, he suddenly heard a desolate and hoarse shout from a distance——

"Xuanyuan Qiu——Xuanyuan Qiu——"

Fang Zheng was taken aback.Looking back at Qi Jun: "What kind of place is this?"

Abandoned the king did not answer, after taking the Populus euphratica branches, he commanded the big toad to climb to the back of the Fengyuan sand dune.Fang Zheng saw many big worms wrapped in skin on the ground, they were fleshy, and the skin on their backs was brown.About the length of a cauliflower snake.The sound of their mouths opening is very similar to "Xuanyuanqiu".Fang Zheng remembered that Er Bongya had strayed into a similar place before, and encountered a big bug wrapped in horse hide and shouting at Xuanyuanqiu.

"The abandoned land of Xuanyuan Kingdom." Abandoned the king said. "These bugs are all transformed from dead people."

Fang Zheng was surprised that it was Xuanyuan Kingdom.However, "dead people change" is just a subjective guess of underdeveloped ancient science.Rotten grass turns into fireflies, and rotten flesh produces maggots. Most likely, there are such insect eggs in the graveyard, and they are suitable for their survival.It looks like a corpse has changed.

The "Shan Hai Jing" mentions that people in Xuanyuan Kingdom "have a human head and a snake body, and can live for thousands of years."It is rumored that Huaxu is the mother clan of Baoxi (Fuxi) and Emperor Wa.And in this time and space.The half-human clan that is a mixture of Huaxu people and giant dragon beasts is the origin of those "gods".After the decline of Huaxu civilization, Xuanyuan Kingdom rises mysteriously.

Abandoned Jun squatted down, and the big bug wrapped in horsehide called out different voices, as if talking to Abandoned Jun.

Qi Jun also quickly responded to the monosyllable word, not knowing what it meant.His subordinates didn't feel sorry for him.He cut off the brains of several big bugs with a knife, squeezed out the juice, and poured the liquid into the jar of Fangzheng.The big worm whose head had been removed didn't die immediately, it slowly retracted under the skin like a snail.

Qi Jun peeled off the brains of some big bugs and took out the white essence as small as sand grains. Fang Zheng couldn't see his movements clearly.Abandoned Jun stuffed it into his arms.A faint blue light flashed under the black robe. "Who would have thought that after such a long time, the remains of the Xuanyuan clan would grow these worms. Water essence should not be wasted."

"Water essence?" It was not the first time Fang Zheng heard this word.In the lost ballad of Xunluo, the old man of the Ku family, part of the water spirit was broken by Emperor Wa and thrown into the body of a monkey, and human beings appeared.This is what Qi Jun is collecting.

Fang Zheng was a little puzzled. If Fuxi, Wahuang and other demigods were actually descendants of the Huaxu clan, why would there be a legend of "creating man"?Zifeng told him that the Huaxu civilization had a population of 200 million at its peak.

"Back then Bao Xi and Emperor Wa established the Xuanyuan Kingdom." Qijun said, "They are already demigods and can live for thousands of years. But everyone else died, and for a while there were only two of them left in the world. Inherited the Dragon Beast The half body of the human body is also like a dragon and beast, which cannot reproduce naturally. Emperor Wa smashed the remaining water essence of the Huaxu family and kneaded it into the monkey's body, and Xuanyuan Kingdom had a new human race."

Qi Jun sneered and said: "So, the later 'people' are not the kind of 'people' of the Huaxu family at all. The Huaxu people live long and are smart. The later 'people' are far inferior. Just killing some monkeys."

Fang Zheng was surprised, and asked in confusion: "That's not right? Emperor Tao Tang's wives came from the descendants of Hua Xu, and an old man from the Ku family was imprisoned in the Xiazhu Dungeon. There are also several small villages in the Hongshan Jade Mine. , are also descendants of the Huaxu race? And they don’t look any different from the later human race.”

Abandoned Jun sighed a few times, "You really know a lot. Let me tell you some secrets. There are indeed some survivors of the Huaxu people in the world. It was when the imam catastrophe happened, and the Huaxu people embraced the heart of death. A gap in the abyss was opened, and some people fled in. Without air, people would die in it. What I did in Yongjie back then also proved this... But the Huaxu people have a way, the dragon bone Tianfeng , They blew up some space to hide inside. The ants outside can’t get in. They can’t get out either.”

"The air will be exhausted." Fang Zheng frowned.

"Yes. The Huaxu people can naturally think of this. They use white stones to seal most of the body's activities, and fall into a deep sleep. The consumption is very small, and it can last for hundreds or even thousands of years."

Fang Zheng thought: "But it won't wake up like this. No one will wake them up."

"Yeah, they're gambling." Abandoned Jun said leisurely, "It's like stuffing yourself into the cabin, sleeping and drifting on the boundless sea. Maybe one day they will land on the shore. Maybe they will drift forever. Some people win the bet The flowing abyss came out of the ground, and a few Huaxu people were exposed to the outside air and came back to life. However, their brains seemed to have been seriously injured and degraded very badly. They returned to the human race and built several small villages. No climate. The lifespan is very long, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and gradually there are several powerful people, such as Di Jun, Tao Tang, and the Ku family... They rely on the memory of their ancestors and reproduce near the Hongshan Jade Mine. .”

Fang Zheng is in a complicated mood, so the patterns on his body, and those on the Hongshan survivors, are they the unique symbols of the Huaxu clan?Where did he come from?

Fang Zheng's expression gradually tightened, and he suddenly asked: "Then how long can they...float...for how long? Is it possible that there are still some of them who haven't landed in that abyss?"

Qi Jundao: "Time is really a magical thing. Past, present, future... 100 years, 1000 years, 5000 years, we will never know. Fang Zheng, guess where Lian Zifeng came from? "

Fang Zheng's heart tightened for a moment, "Yijun picked him up in Shoutong Mountain." His eyes were sharp, "You should know best." Yijun went to Shoutong Mountain to find out the truth about Zhihao's death.And abandoning the king is the real culprit who killed Zhihao.

Qi Jun smiled, "Huaxu people have a long lifespan, but the longer the life, the better. In order to pursue the ultimate immortality, they chose two directions to break through. The first one is 'flowers and dragons'. In In the long war with the dragon beasts, they won, and the dragon beasts almost perished. The last thing they captured was the King of Dragons, a huge black dragon, dozens of times bigger than your two combined dragons... Hua Xu made a baby out of the blood and bones of the black dragon, but unfortunately, disaster struck right after it was finished, and they had no choice but to stuff the baby into the abyss for drifting. This drifting took hundreds of years. "

Fang Zheng was shocked: "Could it be that the baby is—how do you know these things?"

"Don't be so impatient, listen to me. This is about the second direction." Qi Jun said unhurriedly, "There is a faction among the Huaxu people who think that it is useless to rely on long-lived animals. Thousands of years will also age and burn to death. But minerals, earth and rocks can remain unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. The second direction of longevity research is to try to use jade to make a substitute body. They also succeeded partly, sealing people Sleeping in jade is also a technological achievement of this school. According to records, the Huaxu people have also successfully made artificial limbs made of jade."

"The last king of the Huaxu clan, his name is Di Jiang. He is the firm promoter of the latter group. Originally, the two directions were not contradictory, and they were promoted at the same time. When the time comes, whichever has the technological achievement of immortality will be good for the Huaxu people. But at that time, Huaxu's overwhelming power was only enough to completely support one direction. The research experiment of Huaxu's "flower and dragon" has lasted for nearly a hundred years. The power is even stronger. Although jade is indeed more durable than biological continuity, But the price is even higher. Some people say that it is because Dijiang and Dragon Beast have a personal relationship and reached a peace covenant privately. They want to abolish the research tradition of "flowers and dragons". Whether Dijiang wants to really change or not, take the opportunity to suppress Whether it is the old forces, it is out of the peace and righteousness of wanting to coexist with the dragon beasts, or the selfish friendship with the dragon beasts. The harder he pushes this second direction of jade longevity, the more resistance he will receive."

"'Flowers and Dragons' are deeply rooted in Huaxu's research, and Di Jiang failed to reform in the end. The war between Huaxu people and dragon beasts has not stopped. Dragon beasts have been slaughtered almost to the ground, only a few sporadic offshoots escaped A few, far away from the world... When the last huge black dragon king was captured, Di Jiang abolished his throne and asked himself to be an experimenter of communion with flesh and blood... Before a new king could be elected, Hua Xu wiped out the clan. But before Dijiang passed away, he left behind a skeleton made of white stone. He seems to have some memories attached to it. It is very fragmentary, and he can recall it occasionally."

Qi Jun rolled up his sleeves slowly.Fang Zheng lost his voice, "You found it?"

"When I tried my best to get it, it was incomplete. It is rumored that Dijiang even made a white stone head, but unfortunately I don't know where it went. It took me many years to find enough matching stones. Patched it to work. I replaced it on myself bit by bit, and it was just about the head."

Fang Zheng asked in surprise, "Head?"

"If you have a broken limb, you can have a prosthetic limb. What if you lose your mind? I'm only one head away from being truly immortal." Abandoned Jun finally took off his bamboo hat, and Fang Zheng saw a picture of an old man covered in wrinkles. vicissitudes of life.

"The baby you mentioned just now made of the Black Dragon King was also put into the Abyss during the catastrophe? What happened next?" Fang Zheng asked anxiously.

"Didn't you almost guess it? That's right, he came out of the abyss of Shoutong Mountain 20 years ago, Lian Zifeng. At that time, I watched from afar, and the memory on the white stone told me, That's him, he is a little baby made of black dragon bones and blood, managed by the Huaxu people... He was stuffed into the abyss, wandering for many years since ancient times, and didn't start to grow until he emerged from the abyss 20 years ago... Yi didn't know what a terrible thing he picked up, only I knew in this world. Yi was very good at tracking the breath, I didn't dare to stay nearby, but I firmly remembered that little baby, in the future, it would definitely turn the world upside down. "
