Mountains and seas can be flat

Hearing that they were almost arguing, Lian Feng opened his mouth slowly, pretending to be surprised and pointing at the strand of hair wrapped around Fang Zheng's finger, "Is that the hair of the big animal Brother Zheng met today?"

Fang Zheng thought for a second that this guy knew a lot, maybe he could figure out what kind of animal it was, so he asked, "Do you know what kind of animal is that that looks like a black horse but has horns on top of its head?"

Lian Feng was surprised and said: "Of course...God, Brother Zheng, what you met was Xie Yan."

Fang Zheng suddenly thought of information about this animal.It is another kind of mythical beast similar to "Kunpeng", whose name does not directly appear in "Shan Hai Jing", but is based on the animals in "Shan Hai Jing".

Xiong is like a cow and sheep, with a dark body and horns on its head. It is often called Qilin together.It is a mythical animal that symbolizes the prison in ancient times.Until modern times, this mythical beast was often engraved at the gate of the court. It is rumored that it can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyal and evil.

Whenever this beast encounters an outlaw, it knocks the person down with its horns.

Elder Mingye was also taken aback: "I've heard of Xiexi, but we don't know what it looks like. Only Yu Yi and Xia Zhu have this kind of animal, and the last two are already dead."

Now Fang Zheng already knows that the big country in the north is called "Xiazhu". According to the archaeological knowledge of later generations, it is speculated that it has some relationship with the Liangzhu civilization, but Xia Qi's descendants sit on the throne. Fang Zheng thought, so It seems that it was the transitional stage of the late Liangzhu civilization migrating northward to establish the "Xia Dynasty".

"Xiazhu" and "Yuyi" came from the same lineage of Yao, Shun and Yu. After the death of Dayu, they split into two countries because of the differences between the "inheritance system" and the "abdication system".

Dayu's son, Qi, established a country in the north called "Xiazhu" in this era.And Yu's old officials, headed by "Yi" who was going to be abdicated at the beginning, left the East and established "Yu Yi".

The power of Yu and Yi stems from the support of many heroes who fought in all directions during the Shunyu period, such as Dayi who can shoot arrows, and Yi who can control beasts.

However, Xia Zhu's strength should not be underestimated. The resources, combat power and technology of the two countries come from the same source, and they are not willing to give in. Many disciples of the younger generation, many of them are on the side of the new monarch Xia Qi.For example, the famous Dayi died at the hands of his disciple Pang Meng, who was ordered by the king to assassinate his teacher.

This kind of "Xiang" is a mythical animal used by Yao and Shun to execute punishments.There are only two of them, one male and one female.After the split of the old dynasty, Xie Yao was taken away by each of the two countries.Unable to breed offspring, two Xie Niang died in the east and north several decades ago, and no one has ever found the other.

Unexpectedly, today, such an animal came to the cave?

Fang Zheng was also very surprised after hearing Lian Feng tell the origin of this animal.

Lian Feng continued, "Emperor Tao Tang discovered this animal at the mouth of the Shuihuo Spring. It is said that it was born from the Shuihuo Spring. Maybe Brother Zheng and you have a Shuihuo Spring here too."

What water and fire spring?Speaking of spring water, there are hot springs formed after volcanic eruptions in the valley. Could it be that they are water and fire springs?But how could there be animals in the spring?Fang Zheng didn't know whether to believe these true or false legends. The absurd idea in his heart was: if it came out of the water and fire spring, there would be no need to find the missing entrance and exit.

"You follow me to see that animal." Fang Zheng made a decision, as well as its blood and other traces, maybe Lian Feng could see other things. "But you're still suspicious." Fang Zheng said with a straight face, "It's not that I think you're okay, but that this matter is more important."

Lian Feng nodded obediently, and said cautiously: "Brother Zheng... Am I embarrassing you?"

Fang Zheng's mood is complicated, even Feng's attitude of pretending to be obedient is too skilled, who treats him as "one of us"?What embarrasses you... Make it seem like Fang Zheng will have a headache for him.

Shouldn't it be an angry and spineless refusal to resist?Fang Zheng tied him to the head of the bed in the morning, and even the wind didn't complain, but said obediently, "waiting for you to come back".

Forget it, let him pretend to be good, and see how long he can pretend... Fang Zheng couldn't describe the strange feeling in his heart, he could only give Lianfeng a hard look, and drove him to follow him out.

Lian Feng fell behind after walking a few steps, panting, "Brother Zheng, I'm so dizzy."

Fang Zheng walked hurriedly. Looking back, the little thing was leaning on the wall, panting with a red face.Fang Zheng frowned impatiently, pulled the rope in his hand and said, "What's the matter, couldn't you walk by yourself when you came here just now?"

Lian Feng said weakly: "Probably... I haven't eaten for a whole day."

Of course this weakness was feigned. Although Zifeng was much weaker, it was far from being dizzy after walking a few steps.

He just wanted to try to see how much Fang Zheng could tolerate and pity this pretended "Lian Feng" face.

Fang Zheng frowned even tighter, why is this western star priest so delicate.However, he still walked up to the other party and turned around, saying in a bad tone, "Come up."

Fang Zheng frowned even tighter, why is this western star priest so delicate.However, he still walked up to the other party and turned around, saying in a bad tone: "Come up." Fang Zheng said to himself that he was not soft-hearted and didn't drag Lian Feng away, just because this guy was more obedient. .

Lian Feng grabbed Fang Zheng's back and said, "Brother Zheng, you..."

The moment he carried Lian Feng on his back, he almost didn't continue to press Fang Zheng down. The opponent was still as heavy as a stone, and he could barely carry it.Fang Zheng only felt beads of sweat on his forehead.Lian Feng was like a child who had never been carried on his back, carefully wrapping his arms around Fang Zheng's neck.

"No-to-shake-" Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, trying to throw him off several times.

"No one has ever carried me on my back." Lian Feng couldn't restrain his excitement, Fang Zheng said, "I have only ridden animals since I was a child..."

Fang Zheng threw him to the ground with a backhand, panting, "Can you talk?"

Lian Feng was stunned by the fall, and finally understood after a few moments, and said anxiously: "I didn't mean..."

It's over, it's over, but this is the end of talking in the head, Zifeng's alarm bells rang in his heart, and he blamed himself secretly, why did Fang Zheng talk like that, so he spoke in a fluttering manner.This is still innocuous, what if I accidentally tell the more terrible truth.Fang Zheng couldn't just cut him into pieces.

Fang Zheng sighed, squatted down again, and said, "Don't just use your mouth to speak next time, remember to use your brain."

Lian Feng was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect Fang Zheng to be willing to carry him on his back, so he hurriedly climbed up Shang Zheng's back again. In fact, he was not too small, almost as tall as Fang Zheng, and his legs had to be curled up to be carried by Fang Zheng. rise.

Lian Feng put his head on Fang Zheng's shoulder, and there were blue blood vessels on Fang Zheng's pale neck.Lian Feng stared ecstatically, opened his mouth quietly, and couldn't help thinking, what would it be like to bite here now?

He hates, but there are many more important things than hate.

Back then, Fang Zheng's phrase "freedom" seemed to hover in his mind like a ghost.Zifeng suddenly wanted to hear Fang Zheng's opinion on other things.

"Brother Zheng, my brain is not enough. There are many things, and I feel very sad if I can't figure it out." Lian Feng sighed on Fang Zheng's back.

"whats the matter?"

"For example, the fate of a person who has made great achievements is no different from that of those slaves. It is even more tragic. Why is that?"

Fang Zheng smiled sarcastically: "Isn't this a normal thing?"

Lian Feng clenched Fang Zheng's shoulders and said hoarsely, "Normal?"

Fang Zhengdao: "People and slaves who have made great feats are like sharp knives and bone forks. They are tools. When sharp knives are used a lot, they feel that they are individuals. But in the eyes of superiors, they are still just tools. Tools can It can be used to show off and exhibit; it can also be broken, left unused and discarded.”

Aware that Lianfeng was silent for a long time behind him, Fang Zhengzheng was puzzled, and suddenly felt that the other party clenched his shoulders and sniffed lightly.

Sure enough, the sharp answer is much more painful than any bone needle.

...It can also be used as a bargaining chip and a condition...The tool thinks that it can be angry, it can be rejected...

...I only think that others are tools, but I don't know that I am also...

A strange feeling surged in Fang Zheng's heart - a guy who had known each other for less than a day and had not been cleared of suspicion seemed to be about to cry on his back.

Fang Zheng is not very good at dealing with such things. He put Lian Feng down and turned around. The other party squeezed his shoulders tightly, trembling all over, biting his lips tightly, like a small animal frozen in ice for a long time.

While Fang Zheng was wondering, Lian Feng said something strange.

"Why are you...shouldn't...you..."

Zifeng held Fang Zheng's shoulder tightly, not letting himself lean over.He knew that if he hugged it, it would be very warm. It was confirmed three years ago that he could absorb a lot of warmth from his body when sleeping with him at night.But you shouldn't learn from Fang Zheng, you clearly want to capture Fang Zheng back, lock him up, and implement revenge...

Can't be...weak.

But at this moment, like a drowning man falling into a well, he clings to a long rope, which can actually relieve the pain in his heart a little.

It's really strange, Zifeng thought, he obviously hates Fang Zheng so much, why is he so eager to learn warmth from him.Fang Zheng didn't understand the last words he said to him three years ago. It wasn't until he experienced those dark encounters that he realized the weight.

Zifeng always thought that he was irreplaceable, but he forgot the more serious things.

He stayed in hell for three years, experienced so many things, his skin and bones had to become what he is now.Now I am shocked to find that Fang Zheng has turned the valley that was bombed and buried into a paradise in the past three years...

He couldn't help himself, and asked Fang Zheng those words, and when he got the answer, he could hardly control his emotions.

"Cry if you want to cry." Fang Zheng didn't ask what Lian Feng was suffering from. He had already experienced what happened to the weak in this era.In his opinion, Lian Feng is also one of the thousands of poor people.

Lian Feng straightened up, but not a single tear fell in front of Fang Zheng's eyes. He lowered his head and said nothing, clenched his fists tightly, and did not choke.

"It's stubborn," Fang Zheng was a little surprised, nodded, "then swallow it, and don't let it float out again." Fang Zheng kept looking at him, and finally sighed: "It's okay if you swallow it."

Zifeng raised his head, and suddenly asked in a very soft voice: "Have you swallowed it too?"

Fang Zheng didn't notice that his address was changed to "you".

"A long time ago." Fang Zheng said coldly.

"Okay." Zifeng nodded.Then there was silence.

Fang Zheng picked up Lian Feng, who had finally stopped choking, and felt Lian Feng's lips brushing against his neck, like a soft feather.He was very sensitive, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't move around."

"Brother Zheng, you are so warm." Lian Feng put his arms around his neck, rubbed his head on his shoulder, and there was a little light in his frosty eyes.

——Only you can bring me back to life, Fang Zheng, when I thought I was dying in the belly of the big blue dragon, when I trekked thousands of miles of desert and almost died of thirst on the way back to the capital, when I forged unprecedented achievements When 28 brass chain nails are poured through the lute...

I still remember your name, Fang Zheng.It's your name that keeps me alive again and again.In the beginning, I hated you, revenged you, tortured you, and watched you collapse to survive.

Later, in order to find out where you came from, to inquire about the power of the stories behind you, and to find the answer to the "being free" in your few words...

Lian Feng buried his head on Fang Zheng's shoulder, with confusion in his eyes. ..
