Mountains and seas can be flat

"If you can help us, don't talk about the location of Emperor Yao Yu's tomb..." The big copper tooth showed disdain, "I will take you directly to the tomb gate."

Fang Zheng sighed in his heart. During the day, the warrior named Gu Ya said that he wanted to report the situation of coveting the emperor's tomb, but these people ignored it. It seems that they didn't want to be trapped here for a long time, and they didn't want to abide by the agreement of their ancestors.That warrior named Guya must be stupid in their eyes.

Fang Zheng said: "I want to take out the things in the tomb. Besides that, I want copper."

Those people sneered, as if they didn't believe that Fang Zheng could have any solution, so they dared to ask for prices here.Fang Zheng ignored them, lifted the curtain and walked to the bed at the back.The closer you got, the stronger the stench of decaying corpses became.

The bed was covered with fragrant leaves, mugwort and perilla, and under a white curtain, the person they called the chief minister lay there coldly.He looked very young, in his twenties for this day and age.His lips were purple and eroded from the bottom of his neck.

Most of his body was festered, and the thick sores were dark purple. Fang Zheng blew out a lamb bone lamp beside the bed, which did not touch the human body, and opened his mouth with the horn of a sheep. Thin bluish-gray lines about a millimeter.

Fang Zheng knew it, and he turned around and asked these people: "Is there anything you have been eating since you were young? Or, what did your ancestors give you to eat?"

"You want to say poisoning, no." That Xiangyou witch said, "We also doubted it at first, but what we eat here is the crops we grow in the fields, the meat is the pigs we raise, and the water is drawn by ourselves. Well. It has been 60 years since the death of Emperor Yao Yu, if anyone has been poisoning us, it would have been discovered long ago."

Fang Zhengdao: "I need a pot to boil hot water, a few pieces of finely woven silk cloth, and the seeds of the crops you plant every year, soil from the field, soil from the well water, pig feed, pig bones, and more. Yes, my companion is still locked in the pigsty by you, you let him out. By the way, we are all dirty now and need to be cleaned first, just to see if there is any problem with your water source."

His order was so natural that these people almost carried it out unconditionally. They wondered in a complicated mood: Why does this young man have such a natural leadership temperament, at that moment it seems that he is the master here.

The big copper tooth said gloomyly: "You'd better pray for something, otherwise we—"

"Okay, don't do that, I didn't scare you too much." Fang Zheng smiled and waved his hands, "Go get ready."

Fang Zheng was led by them to the river below the mountain wall. On the way, he learned that there were four wells on their living platform, all of which were drinking water sources.Tribal people bathe in the running water flowing below the mountain wall, and they will not get sick if they leave for a short period of time.They usually go out to patrol and hunt, as long as they do not exceed a day, they will not get sick, so they can't go very far.The Xiangzhu side is the edge of their patrol territory.

There was no one around, Fang Zheng guessed that they had made arrangements in advance, thinking this way, suddenly saw Lianfeng in front of him holding two sets of animal skin clothes that the tribe changed, and greeted him happily:

"Brother Zheng. It's great that you're fine."

Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel soft, seeing that even the wind didn't hurt, the farming society still has its own benefits, at least it doesn't use people as rations.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also sighed. He didn't know whether Lian Feng had a good heart or a big heart, and he was able to sleep so peacefully in the pigsty. Pulled out, he woke up.

What Fang Zheng didn't know was that Lian Feng was pretending to be asleep, and his breathing sound was adjusted to match that of when he was actually asleep, and Lian Feng felt that the shell was slightly uncomfortable, and guessed the tribal environment like Fang Zheng has a problem.

"Wash your body first, it smells like a pig." Fang Zheng untied his clothes and waded into the river.The flowing water here is not like the hot springs in the valley. Although Fang Zheng is not afraid of the cold, he shivered when he was suddenly stimulated by the ice water.

Even Feng also took off his clothes and entered the water, but his expression was calm.Fang Zheng always felt that Lian Feng's body was a bit bigger, did he gain some flesh?

In fact, it was the process of the body in Zifeng's shell recovering.Zifeng's original body was thin and strong, without a trace of fat on his body.With no good flesh in the whole body due to the copper chain, the healed body was very thin at first, and it was awkward and inconvenient in the shell.It took him a lot of energy to regain his firmness, and when he was strong enough, he could break free from the shackles of the shell.

Just like a baby bird, it needs enough strength to peck open that layer of shell.

Fang Zheng cast a sideways glance at him casually, "Aren't you afraid of the cold? Is this water bearable?"

Lian Feng immediately hugged his arms exaggeratedly, chattering his teeth and said, "Yes, it's a bit cold."

Fang Zheng complained in his heart that this pretending was too careless, but Lian Feng came over and hugged Fang Zheng in an instant, and dawdled, "Brother Zheng is still warm."

Fang Zheng instantly felt the dizziness similar to that day when he held Zhu Luan's tail and heard Lianfeng blowing in his ear and said that sentence. He coughed violently, and quickly pushed Lianfeng away a few feet, Lianfeng's bones It was so heavy that his hands were sore before he pushed it away, and he warned with a straight face, "Enough is enough."

"Brother Zheng, don't you like others touching you?" Lian Feng showed that expression of crying like a puppy again, which made Fang Zheng's mood fluctuate.

Fang Zheng knocked on his head: "What's wrong with you, you don't like men, what are you doing?"

Lian Feng choked Fang Zheng confidently: "I don't like men, but I think brother Zheng is very warm."

Fang Zheng was about to be pissed off by him, but the next moment he said suspiciously: "Wait a minute, how do you know I'm warm?"

He doesn't seem to have any intimate hugs with Lian Feng.

Zifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he reacted quickly: "Brother Zheng, you have carried me on your back."

Only then did Fang Zheng dispel his doubts, but he still felt that something was wrong, so he taught with a straight face, "I'm not your hand warmer, so don't hug me around. If you pick a fire, it won't go out—"

"What is a hand warmer?" Lian Feng asked Fang Zheng with a blank and innocent look on the part above the water, but the part under the water stretched out a hand to—

Fang Zheng cursed a curse word, glared at Lian Feng fiercely, and shouted: "You damn..."

"I can understand the second half of the sentence, it can still be destroyed." Lian Feng continued to look at Fang Zheng with that harmless expression.Fang Zheng didn't make money, and in fact he didn't want to.He took a few deep breaths, waiting for the dizziness in his mind to pass, and he grabbed Lian Feng's arm with one hand, but the movement of the other's forearm was not affected in any way.

Before, I couldn't even hold the wind bowl steadily, why are my hands so...flexible now?It seems to be stronger?

No, if you think about it, your head will explode even more.

"What exactly is a hand warmer?" Lian Feng asked persistently.

"It's...a kind..." Fang Zheng gasped deeply several times, trying to force the strange voice back into his throat, and finally gathered his thoughts that had been kneaded into egg yolks, trying to make his voice natural, "... small... ...hot...for warmth..."

Lian Feng pointed differently: "Is it similar to this?"

"It's not... you... Mom..." Fang Zheng said weakly, he couldn't even swear at others.He was thinking about what sin he did in his previous life to provoke this little guy.It was useless to beat him, and it was useless to scold him. I was still trembling in his hands.

It was too slippery. Fang Zheng clenched his fists for a long time before gathering enough strength to push Lian Feng away. He made a fierce staring expression: "It's not true, stay away from me. I'm not in the mood to play tricks with you. Children's tricks. You will never—" He couldn't say the word, but the other party understood it anyway.

Lian Feng's expression changed at that moment, he opened his mouth and throat, and finally said, "...Brother Zheng, how do you know what is true and what is false?"

Fang Zheng snorted and said coldly, "If it's true, I'll know."

Lian Feng's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists in the water. He didn't speak until he finished washing, and then followed Fang Zheng in silence and obediently. square sign distance.

Zifeng looked at Fang Zheng's back with complicated emotions. He wanted to take revenge on Fang Zheng and make small moves to do things that made Fang Zheng flustered. It was the same with Zhu Luan that time. My meat, drink your blood, deliberately only said the first half of the sentence...

He gave Fang Zheng just now... because, when Fang Zheng checked his bones, what he did to Lian Feng, even through a layer of cartilage, still made him tremble, goosebumps, like an electric shock .It was a very strange feeling, and I was very flustered.

So of course it wasn't a good thing, so he just responded with an eye for an eye.

Zifeng convinced himself, revisiting the hatred of Fang Zheng with peace of mind, and felt that in the case of self-protection, he could stimulate Fang Zheng to the maximum extent without provoking Fang Zheng to strangle him to death, which is really too smart up.

Fang Zheng ignored him, and secretly vowed that he would never indulge this little thing again next time. See how presumptuous he was just now. When he has time, he must teach Lian Feng well. He and Lian Feng are just looking for something to do together. The feeling of simple companionship, Lian Feng is a person in the primitive era who doesn't understand the rules, so Fang Zheng can't let him know the boundaries?

He just wanted to "raise a child", he warned sternly, dispelling the pasty aftertaste in his mind.

The copper teeth of the tribe found all the things that Fang Zheng wanted. Fang Zheng wanted to check outside, but at the request of several witch chiefs and copper teeth who were unwilling to "disrupt the stability", Fang Zheng had to enter again and cover it with spices. In a room that stinks of corpses.

Fang Zheng washed the white silk cloth with hot water and put it under the small piece of burning pig bone. The burning pig bone emitted phosphorus fire, and the dregs fell and turned black.

Pork bones are rich in phosphorus, but they are so black, which means they are polluted.

Fang Zheng processed a few more seeds in the same way, and the sediment was dark brown.

Precipitation of metallic minerals and sulfur is estimated.

The blue-black gum line of the chief secretary of the deceased was mercury poisoning.

The crops of this tribe, in addition to the conventional rice and millet, also cultivate a large number of wild vegetables and weeds, such as milk thistle, bitter herbs, mountain lettuce...

Fang Zheng was clear in his mind, he summoned the blood-robed witch chief and the three copper teeth again, and said to them: "I basically know what your curse is. Before that, I want to make one final confirmation."

Fang Zheng pointed to the ground, "Emperor Yao Yu's tomb, or at least the tomb passage, or a certain tomb structure, is it under this platform?"

The faces of those people changed, and the air froze.

Fang Zheng frowned and said: "This question is very important, I hope you can answer me truthfully."

In the end, the Xiangyou witch said reluctantly: "Yes..."

Fang Zheng thought, sure enough, it was consistent with the speculation. The construction of the tomb will use a large amount of metals refined from ores, such as mercury, which can be used to make everlasting lamps. In the underground objects, how many rotting bacteria and impurities breed.What's more, there are some huge tombs that will be guarded by poisonous insects and beasts (Fang Zheng thinks that based on people's domestication and understanding of animals in this era, this kind of thing is very possible), and those poisonous insects and snakes have occupied the hovering places for a long time, and the toxins follow soil spread...

Metal poisoning, bacterial spoilage poisoning, etc. are like chronic diseases, slowly eroding the people on the platform, so over time, they will show various symptoms of sudden death.But staying on the platform without getting sick depends on the generation of crops that have been selected in the polluted soil, and those livestock that drink polluted water all the year round but still grow healthily.

Relying on the evolutionary advantages of natural selection and artificially selected healthy varieties, these crops are tenaciously filtering toxin precipitation and becoming more and more resistant.People eat these crops, such as milk thistle and chicory, which can precipitate and neutralize a lot of heavy metals, barely keep people from being poisoned and die, and achieve a delicate dynamic balance from generation to generation.

The more toxins are deposited, the more resistant these crops are.However, plants and livestock that have grown up through pollution have excessive levels of toxins in their bodies, and they will naturally deliver more toxins to people.People have to choose a more resistant variety to continue breeding in the next year.

The selection of seeds and livestock each year is actually the tribe's unconscious choice to take the first step to survive, like a dance on the tip of a knife. In the cruel persecution of survival, they are always only one step ahead.

So once the people of this tribe leave the platform, something will happen, because outside, they cannot eat the tribe’s crops rich in high resistance to neutralize the precipitation, and the toxins accumulated in the body will break out.The chief secretary went out for a year without any accidents. It may be that the pills he made were also made of local raw materials, and he took them all the way, temporarily suppressing them.But refining would change some of the properties of the medicine after all, causing new side effects on his body. After he came back, he gradually died of mercury poisoning.

Fang Zheng knew that people in this era couldn't understand resistance.So I simplified it and told them that it was the poison in the tomb that emerged from the ground and infected their bodies, and only the agricultural products here could detoxify them, which made them unable to leave this place.

"Then if we move these crops to other places, can we get out of here?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "No need to transplant, I can even let you all leave, but you have to fulfill your promise first."

Eating the crops on this land all the time is just drinking poison to quench thirst, they themselves have a lot of poison.

Metal poisoning has more than one solution.Fang Zheng observed that this tribe did not raise cattle, probably because the arable land is too small to use.However, if it is precipitated with milk, supplemented with a diet therapy such as a large number of wild vegetables, fruits and vegetables, seeds and fungi, it can neutralize many heavy metals in the body.Those who settled outside probably did not pay attention to their dietary structure, and most of them only ate meat during migration.If they can eat milk, fruits and vegetables that neutralize heavy metals, dried fruits, fungi and other foods every day in a place with abundant water and grass, the chances of being cured are very high.

They all choked for breath, stared at Fang Zheng in disbelief, and said hoarsely for a while: "You...you said there is a way to let us leave soon?"
