Mountains and seas can be flat

The bear smelled the cooking blue worms, so he swallowed them with the fire without hesitation.There was a terrible roar, and the flames were so fierce that the torch whipped the worm ball straight into his mouth, and before the bear's mouth could close, its head was scorched.

While Fang Zheng was happy, he was also a little puzzled. It stands to reason that wild beasts are afraid of fire, so they should avoid it.But this bear not only has no fear of fire, but also takes the initiative to eat fire. It should be said that it is a wonderful foodie, desperate to eat that kind of burnt blue worms?

Anyway, Fang Zheng happily jumped on the bear, counting the edible parts. Bear paws are a must, but unfortunately there is no honey to brush.The bear's head was too heavy, and the fire that the big bear swallowed was not enough to burn through its head, and it seemed that it had to be roasted again.

The torch was ignited by the flame arrow just now. If it was a mechanism, Fang Zheng wanted to look for it again, can it be triggered again... because the torch was swallowed by the bear, and the wooden pole was stuck in its mouth, leaving only some sparks from the bear's face. keep floating out.The cave was plunged into darkness.

A flash of light crossed a semi-arc trajectory in the air.With a "bang" sound, he charged at Fang Zheng. .

Fang Zheng quickly jumped away from the bear, looked intently, and saw a faint silhouette in the darkness. At some point there stood a man holding a huge axe, slightly shorter than Fang Zheng, but the ax was almost two people tall.

As he slashed towards Fang Zheng, he slapped away the sporadic bugs that slipped through the net and gave off small sparks.Until the last spark goes out.

The man lit a new torch, Fang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he was surprised to find that this man was stroking the bear's fur attached and crying loudly.

It was an older man, small in stature, but strong and swollen muscles bulged out all over his body.It looks like he is in his 40s, but Fang Zheng knows that people in this era generally age quickly, and this person may actually be only in his twenties.

He was so angry that he almost collapsed after crying and yelled at Fang Zheng while chopping: "You actually killed my bear!?"

This bear turned out to be this man's partner?Fang Zheng looked intently at the axe, which was made of the same material as Zifeng's axe, and it was also shiny golden.There is also a sharp horn on his back, nearly one meter long, with a smooth upper part, which can be used as a spike weapon with a little polishing.

Fang Zheng immediately thought of the Si that day, did this person chop it up, or did Zifeng chop it up and give it to him?

No matter what it is, Fang Zheng understands why Zifeng lets them in one by one without worrying about escaping, because there is a person guarding the end.This person is Zifeng's accomplice and another emissary of Yu Yi.He left early and didn't know what to do. He took a huge bear and waited for them in the depths of the cave.

He actually made the giant bear a partner.

The arrow that lit the torch just now was also shot by this man.This person has been hiding in the cave. Perhaps he wanted to see what Fang Zheng wanted to do, so he didn't show up immediately. He just lit the torch for him.Unexpectedly, Fang Zheng used the torch to burn his bear to death, so he jumped out quickly.

"Die!" The man shouted and slashed, his strength should not be underestimated, and his body was also very flexible, not much worse than Zifeng.But Fang Zheng took advantage of the narrow terrain of the cave, and repeatedly rolled away quickly under his big axe.The man roared like crazy, but he couldn't beat Zhong Fangzheng no matter what.Fang Zheng thought with lingering fear that if he was hacked, he would be worthless, and he would be useless.

Fang Zheng didn't want to stand still, he had to save himself, he rolled his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Sir, please stop, I belong to Master Zifeng—"

"It's just servants!" Although the man was slashing at people crazily, he didn't completely lose his mind and panted heavily. Of course he knew who would come, and it must be the group that Zifeng brought in.There are more productive women than tribes.

Fang Zheng's skills are good, and he's a man, so that's Zifeng's other servant.After only a few days apart, he couldn't believe how deep the connection was.This is also one of the reasons why he was so angry——

A coolie picked up halfway, dare to kill his bear? !

Fang Zheng suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing his head down, he turned his head away, but the firm palm on the other side slapped him.Fang Zheng was horrified, that man could shoot left and right?Whichever is the lesser of the two powers, he stepped back.Avoiding the sharp weapon, the man was waiting, and punched Fang Zheng on the shoulder with a "bang".

Fang Zheng knew that if he didn't take this punch, he would be hit by a big axe. He would rather be punched than entertained by an axe.But this strength gave him the illusion that it might be easier to be hit by an axe.Immediately, he was hit with a "click" on his shoulder bone, and he was in severe pain, and he didn't know if it was broken.Fang Zheng bumped into the stone wall behind him, let out a muffled cry of pain, and clenched his teeth tightly to keep himself from moaning in pain.

"I'm going to kill you!" The man was so angry that he wanted to punch him again.Fang Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. In order not to be beaten to death by this bear-guarding maniac, he immediately raised the banner as a tiger's skin skillfully: "If you kill me, Master Zifeng will trouble you .He defends me like you defend your bear."

Although it is very humiliating to compare oneself to an animal, the other party will only understand if this analogy has the effect.

However, the other Yu Yi envoy was also very thoughtful, and sneered: "If Zifeng really valued you so much, you wouldn't know that this bear is a beast companion, let alone want to kill it. You are the one he randomly found. Slave, a hundred of you guys can’t compare to our beast companions, I guess you don’t even know what Zifeng’s beast companions are, how dare you compare them?”

Fang Zheng was taken aback. It turned out that all of Yu Yi's war machines had a fierce beast similar to this bear as a "beast companion"?Then again, if Zifeng raised beasts, why didn't he use them when dealing with giant snakes?

There was a dark fire in his heart, even though he knew that toothpick... Bah, even if it wasn't a toothpick, he was still a pervert. To a large extent, he regarded himself as a slave to use at will, and being pointed out so bluntly still made him more irritable. Thinking about how the two of them will die in their hearts.

Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't speak, the man believed in his speculation even more, and kicked Fang Zheng unceremoniously, kicking him to the ground.

Fang Zheng fell to the ground. In fact, he had detected the other party's intentions in advance. He could have avoided the kick, but he was going to attack his heart first.Fang Zheng endured his hatred and anger, and thought about countermeasures first.

Although Fang Zheng was kicked to the ground, he didn't stop thinking. He remembered that it was said in "Shan Hai Jing" that some clans would manipulate four kinds of beasts including bears.These four beasts are the tiger, leopard, bear, and phoenix.But in fact, both bears and 罴 belong to bears.So strictly speaking, there are three choices of animal companion, he needs to gamble accordingly, first guess what Zhong Zifeng's animal companion is, this person will not think that he is irrelevant.

And according to this information... Fang Zheng recalled the relevant records, and he also roughly outlined the origin of Zifeng and others, and the genealogy of the "Yuyi" country.

"Leopard." Fang Zheng looked up at the messenger.

The man was taken aback: "You really know?"

You've got it.Fang Zheng evoked a sarcastic smile, the man really didn't dare to do it again, and looked at Fang Zheng with some fear and suspicion.

Fang Zheng thought to himself, Zifeng is nimble and runs extremely fast. Among the three beasts "leopard, tiger, and bear", the bear is too clumsy and the tiger's endurance is not enough. Only the leopard is the most suitable for Zifeng's characteristics.The leopards of this era must not be the smaller clouded leopards or leopards of later generations.Leopard fossils larger than tigers have been unearthed in archeology, although they have become extinct in later generations.But in the ancient times when animals were all bigger in size, it is still very possible to see them.

As for the origin of "Yu Yi"... Fang Zheng probably figured it out. There are many strange small countries in "Hai Jing" and "Huang Jing". According to the perspective of later generations, they are only classified by clan size, and they cannot actually be called "countries".There are several clans among them who will enslave the ferocious beasts of "leopards, tigers and bears", such as people from the Kingdom of Lin and the Kingdom of China.It is recorded in the book that they are all descendants of "Emperor Jun".

"Dahuang Dongjing" contains: There is a country of Zhongrong, and the emperor Junsheng Zhongrong... four birds, leopards, tigers, and bears.

The "bird" here means beast, which means that the descendants of Emperor Jun will drive four kinds of beasts: leopards, tigers, and bears.

The more than a dozen "Emperor Jun" appearing in "Shan Hai Jing" do not refer to the same person. According to the textual research of later scholars, sometimes it is himself, sometimes it refers to the Yellow Emperor, sometimes it refers to Emperor Shun, sometimes it refers to Emperor Hong, and sometimes it refers to him. Refers to Emperor Ku, because of the rumors spread in ancient documents.For example, it is mentioned in the "Shan Hai Jing" that Di Jun's wife is Ehuang, which is a corruption of writing Shun as Di Jun.As for the "descendants of Emperor Jun" who "used ferocious beasts", later scholars used the method of document comparison in "Shangshu · Shun Dian" to put forward a statement that the "Emperor Jun" here refers to another place of Shun. Corruption.

After all, Kui, Shun, Jun, and Ku are all spelled the same in oracle bone inscriptions.

"Shang Shu Shun Dian" records that Shun ordered a man named "Yi" to train all kinds of beasts.Yi is very modest, saying that he wants to be courteous after "Zhu, Hu, Xiong, and Zhu".Shun said, you are the leader, and they follow you.

"Zhu" means "leopard" in the ancient Jiangdong dialect. When people of later generations translate, they often translate "Zhu, Hu, Xiong, and 罴" as the four courtiers of Shun.But the four courtiers made an appointment to name the beast, and the name of the beast was the same as the name of the manipulated beast in "Shan Hai Jing"?This coincidence is too strange.It is more likely that they are not courtiers, but beasts in the literal sense.

Fang Zheng remembered that his father said that the beautiful scene of "comity" is full of Confucian whitewashing.A more reasonable guess is that it is not "comity" but "competition".The truth is that the person "Yi" defeated the four beasts and mastered the means to tame them, so he naturally became the leader of the beasts.Since Yi worked for Shun, his descendants naturally learned the means of manipulating beasts, and were mistakenly recorded as the descendants of Emperor Jun in the "Shan Hai Jing".

Moreover, according to another complicated textual research by scholars, the person "Yi" is speculated to be related to "Qi", the ancestor of the Yin and Shang peoples, and is described in mythology as being inspired by a mysterious bird.This is consistent with Fang Zheng's hearing that the east side worships sunbirds.

Fang Zheng also remembered that the "Yu" of "Yu Yi" is the "Yu" of "Yu Shun", which is a common surname in ancient times, so there are so many coincidences.Fang Zheng can almost conclude that the great eastern country "Yuyi" is a fusion of the officials of Yushun and the ancestors of the Yin and Shang peoples. Although the "Shang" dynasty was not established until hundreds of years later, their ancestors have already lived in this land on, and has become so powerful.

Fang Zheng coughed and stood up, leaning against the stone wall. His chest and abdomen hurt from being kicked, and his shoulders were swollen. I don't know if the bones inside were broken.However, Fang Zheng was caught off guard and stretched out his other hand, and slapped that person with a "snap".The man didn't dodge, leaving five fingerprints on his face.

"I, Chi Zhao, can't spare you!" The man covered his burning cheeks, so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and he slammed Fang Zheng against the wall and was about to smash him on the top of his head.

It turned out that this person was called Chi Zhao, Fang Zheng snorted coldly: "Kill him to death, and Master Zifeng will avenge me."

Chi Zhao's fist hovered dangerously three inches in front of Fang Zheng, trembling with resentment, he really didn't dare to beat Fang Zheng to death.If Fang Zheng is as important as he said, like a beast companion, then Zifeng will be offended.Zifeng is different from them... But, is he sacrificing his bear for nothing? ?Chi Zhao clenched his teeth, he was not reconciled.

The noise gradually came from the aisle at the entrance of the cave. Those tribal women walked to the entrance of the cave. They saw the light of the torches from a distance, but when they entered the hall of the cave, they were scared and screamed by the corpse of the giant bear. Again and again.

"Shut up!" Chi Zhao yelled at the screaming women, pointing to the huge space in the center of the cave and said, "Come in, leave a place for the people behind."

The tribal women and the two elders all came in one after another, and Zifeng followed at the end. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Fang Zheng leaning against the stone wall and was injured. When he slapped the bear corpse on the ground, he showed an expression of disbelief.

"What's going on?" Zifeng asked Chi Zhao.

"Who is he to you?" Chi Zhao was angrily ready to ask the teacher.

Zifeng glanced at Fang Zheng, "He is the one I want to use."

Chi Zhao stared at Fang Zheng suspiciously, and murmured to himself: Although Fang Zheng's skill is indeed good, when did Zi Feng start to play meat?And looking for a man?

——Xiao Zifeng, the taste is very strong.

"He killed my bear." Chi Zhaosen said to Zifeng coldly: "There must be an explanation for this matter."

Fang Zheng thought nervously, even if he ate Tai Sui meat, but he couldn't even beat Zifeng, his colleagues would be even more invincible.

However, Fang Zheng immediately rolled his eyes, Zifeng's accomplices are human, and as long as they are human, they have weaknesses.

Where there is a weakness, it can be exploited.

For more than two people, there is a word called divorce.
