Mountains and seas can be flat

Fang Zheng thought that Lian Feng was done and wanted to get back his clothes and put them on, but Zifeng held him down again, and gently slid his hand to the inner side of Fang Zheng's thigh, where the swarm stared, "Brother Zheng, where are you?" The venom must also be sucked out..."

Fang Zheng's face turned red, but Lian Feng's tone was extremely upright and serious, as if he was serious about business, but Fang Zheng didn't know how to excuse his body if he wanted to lean down to suck that place. The resulting reaction, I don't know if the other party will do something out of the ordinary like in the water just now, and the reaction will be seen in full view, he just wants to hit the wall just thinking about it.

"Lian Feng," Fang Zheng held Lian Feng's forearm in vain trying to stop him, "Don't... don't provoke me."

At that moment, Zifeng wanted to make a condition. He is always the one who will firmly grasp the opportunity. Fang Zheng couldn't see that his other hand was climbing on the stone wall and stretched out his veins, so he restrained himself from being blind in his arms. Fang Zheng, who showed a fragile expression, was impulsive to do something, and said softly: "I won't. It's just brother Zheng, can you...don't call me Lianfeng."

Fang Zheng asked blankly, "What's your name?"

Zifeng rolled his eyes, and said affectionately, "Can you call me more affectionately, Xiaofeng, or Feng'er."

Then it would be pronounced the same as his original name, and Zifeng could enjoy the address of the other party with peace of mind.

Fang Zheng guessed Lian Feng's careful thoughts, and he got goosebumps, but the two reunited after going through hardships, except that life and death are trivial matters, so he couldn't bear to refute the other party's request, nodded and said: "Okay...Feng'er."

Fang Zheng thought that he must find a time to explain clearly to Lian Feng, and let him cut off those ambiguous feelings. The small request, the right should be appeased.

Zifeng's heart was agitated, and he suddenly bent his head to suck out the venom from the wound on Fang Zheng's inner thigh. When his lips and tongue touched the tender and sensitive skin, Fang Zheng's skin trembled visibly, and his face spread. With an uncontrollable blush, he bit his lower lip and turned his head away, lamenting that he was not a saint, who could bear such a series of events.

Zifeng rolled his eyes, and after spitting out the venom, he gently bit the piece of skin and moved upwards. After a while, Fang Zheng pushed him away as if he had woken up from a dream, and roared angrily, "Don't make an inch—"

Zifeng actually had the strength to hold Fang Zheng down, but he still pretended to be pushed away. The fact that he didn't dare to say "Brother Zheng, your waist is weak" would probably make him even more irritable. He pretended to be a bad guy The child who was found and at a loss said, "Brother Zheng, don't be angry. I..." Zifeng's throat tightened for a while, and he was a little panicked in his heart.

Zifeng didn't know what to say. Of course, the hunting-like desire to plunder and possess was appealing to his mouth, but other than that, Fang Zheng's feelings seemed to be more than that, but he couldn't describe it, and he didn't know what it was: A warm but fragile thing made him cautious, like walking on thin ice.

"You?" Fang Zheng pricked up his ears vigilantly, praying in his heart that Lian Feng would not throw out the hot potato he knew well.His head is very confused and his heart is also very confused, and he is going to take the time to stroke it.

Zifeng endured it, squeezed blood from his fists, took a deep breath and said, "I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just thought it was fun..."

Fang Zheng was laughed out of anger for a moment, and he didn't have the strength to scold him. He just felt endless exhaustion, "Feng'er...don't torment me. I'm so tired."

Zifeng hurriedly put his arms around Fang Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, go to sleep, I'll watch over you here, don't be afraid."

Fang Zheng shook his head, supported the stone wall and groped for the fish skin clothes to put on again, said: "We can't sleep, we have to escape from here as soon as possible. Who knows what else is there. What is that kind of thing like a banyan tree—"

I can't tell if it's an animal or a plant. It's similar to many creatures in the Cangwu Abyss, and it's a mixture between the two.

Although Zifeng didn't understand the banyan tree, he also came from the lake and knew what Fang Zheng was referring to, "I heard that Emperor Yao Yu once subdued six demons and four ghosts, among which Huai Gui was five hundred feet long from Lun. , the tree body and human face, probably it is it.”

Fang Zheng had heard the name of this monster in "Shan Hai Jing", but he only saw the true face of this monster now, before he could be shocked, Zi Feng said again:

"Although this thing is fierce, it has been domesticated after all. After knowing its weakness, it is actually not difficult to escape. It likes to hide gold and silver in Nalangxuan. As long as you find some small round stones and sprinkle them towards its tentacles, it will not pester people anymore. .”

Fang Zheng smiled: "So when you came over, you just threw small stones down? You really belonged."

This is the first time that Fang Zheng smiled after being blind. Zi Feng was stunned. Like a plant with vigorous vitality, the whole person is shining in Zifeng's eyes.

Zifeng's heart was beating harder and harder, and that inexplicable feeling of softness was strengthened again—Brother Zheng is so kind, and he longed to stay by his side all the time.Zifeng grabbed Fang Zheng's hand and said, "I'll carry you."

"Just take me by the hand, I can go." Fang Zhengbian had a little stubbornness about such trivial matters.

Zifeng insisted on turning back: "It doesn't matter, I have a lot of physical strength, so it will be faster. Brother Zheng, you can trust me."

Hearing what he said, Fang Zheng didn't feel stubborn anymore. He followed Zifeng's lead and lay on the opponent's back. He was surprised to find that "Lian Feng" seemed to be a few centimeters taller than him, and his back was also thick and hard muscles. Intuitive feeling - this guy was indeed a warrior in the past.

The image of "Lian Feng" in Fang Zheng's mind became a bit strange, Fang Zheng thought awkwardly, obviously he had always thought Lian Feng was a pale, fragile, bright, and weak child like a student, and he had imagined in his heart when he was a teenager The shadows overlapped, but at this moment Lian Feng seemed to be completely opposite, and Fang Zheng couldn't help thinking of Zifeng. If Zifeng was still alive, Lian Feng would also be a soldier in Yu Yi... Fang Zheng's heart froze suddenly, he I don't know where this panic comes from, I just feel that the two shadows in my mind are overlapping more and more...

Fang Zheng lay on Zifeng's back and thought endlessly, until he heard the sound of the wind in his ears and the rapid movement of his body, and felt that "Lian Feng" seemed to be running deep into the cave with him on his back.Can you still run with a big living person on your back?Fang Zheng thought incredulously: Is the bone that Zu Jiang gave him really installed in his body?Wouldn't he be weak after being broken?Or——Fang Zheng didn't know why that weird panic reappeared, if that layer of bones wasn't inside...

Fang Zheng faintly felt that he had touched some terrible thread again, and before he had time to think about it, he suddenly heard whistling and shouting in the distance.

The long howling sound was very desolate, one after another, it was the sound of apes crying unceasingly.Maybe it's not apes, but the kind of "Jade People". Fang Zheng thought of those poems describing the desolation of apes, and his heart was also touched. He imagined that in the depths of this desolate and silent Cangwu Abyss, the species closest to humans year after year Trapped in the dark underground, they can't speak and express, so the natural sorrow and sorrow have turned into long and short cries, echoing in the canyon of the long night.

Fang Zheng knew that they were walking in the "gorge" because of the sound of the wind.Ehuang and Nvying floated into the Cangwu Abyss from the Xiangjiang River. The Cangwu Abyss must be more than one entrance guarded by the Jiuli Mask Army, but it must be difficult to find.Along the way, the little purple scorpion was still releasing electric sparks, which caused the rocks on both sides of the canyon to fall, and the long and narrow river course also changed.

If Fang Zheng could see with his eyes, he would have figured out the location of these stones, as well as some partitions in the canyon and river, which seem to be chaotic, but in fact they have been cleverly arranged manually, using the five elements, eight trigrams, feng shui, etc. to form a maze-like dilemma. Guidance, you will never get out or get in for a lifetime.It must have taken a lot of effort for Ehuang Nvying to row in back then.Although Fang Zheng couldn't see it now, fortunately, there was a little boy leading the way, which helped them a lot.

Zifeng followed the instructions of Xiaomao, and jumped lightly among the boulders in the stream. He carried Fang Zheng on his back without any difficulty, and told Fang Zheng about the scenery on both sides of the river from time to time;

"There is light ahead, very thin and narrow, leaking from the gap in the zenith."

"The sky is gradually splitting into a line, and the closed dome is splitting into a line of sky."

"A line of sky has expanded, and the front is the size of the sky that can be seen in the valley."

"The sky is blue and we're going out soon."

Fang Zheng didn't know how long it had been, Lianfeng let him down to eat twice in the middle.After resting for a few hours, Lianfeng slowed down when he was about to walk out of the canyon. He was carefully checking the traces near the canyon entrance, and he was not in a hurry to go out.

"Let me find out if there are any traces of Zu Jiang's spies. They are everywhere. The grievances between the previous king and Ehuang Nvying may have caused them to have a stronghold near the Xiangjiang River..."

Fang Zheng's heart moved, "I heard from Da Tongya that day, when Ehuang Nvying came here to look for the tomb decades ago, Shun's third concubine, Dengbei, came to trouble them many times? Zujiang's?"

In fact, the name of the third concubine also appeared in "Shan Hai Jing" and "Bamboo Book". It is recorded that she gave birth to two daughters to Shun. The names of her two daughters recorded in the book are Zhuguang and Xiaoming.

Lian Feng then told Fang Zheng about Zu Jiang's related situation. Fang Zheng compared it with what he found out from spies Gou'er and Cha'er at that time, and gradually outlined a picture of Zu Jiang's historical changes:

The Zujiang tribe has existed for a very long time, but a hundred years ago it was not a "big country", but an ancient tribe.Three generations ago, they gave birth to a beautiful woman named Deng Bei. During the process of tribal development and external alliances, the ancient "walking marriage system" was implemented. Men "marry in".At that time, the Dengbei clan that Zu Jiang "married out" became the third concubine of Emperor Yao Yu.But at that time, Emperor Yao Yu was over 50 years old. As a person of that era, he was already considered old, and he had two virtuous concubines, Ehuang and Nvying.

"Zu Jiang's women have their own set of rules," Zifeng said rather helplessly, "They don't look down on men very much, and they don't have a sense of belonging to Zhuanyi and a certain man. And the more they believe in strong men, the more their stomachs will be. The children in the village can have more powerful abilities at the same time. So they will find many men to conceive, and regard this kind of thing as an honor. The Dengbei family also did the same at that time..."

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and Zifeng continued: "Emperor Yao Yu has many heroes. For example, Lao...cough, Lord Yi, Kui, Yi, Boyu, Gaotao...in short, the Dengbei clan They were very bold to seduce her. Of course, most people should have rejected her, but this kind of thing is always a headache. Emperor Yao Yu's mood is probably also very complicated, but he is a benevolent king and did not pursue it. Deng Bei Shi successfully gave birth to two daughters, and they have been living well in Yu Chaoguo."

Fang Zheng thought, this would be unimaginable in other periods of slavery or feudal dynasties, and the emperor would absolutely not tolerate it. Only the peculiar customs of the ancient times and the measure of the ancient sages could make this happen.

Zifeng continued: "The two daughters are Xiaoming and Zhuguang. After the death of Emperor Yao Yu, the Dengbei family brought them back to Zujiang. Both daughters became the lords of the country. They focused on strengthening the army, forming secret agents, Going everywhere to collect weapons, recruit soldiers and so on. It should be this period of time to assassinate Ehuang Nvying, probably because they were not pleasing to the eye before. Of course, they also inherited the custom of their mother looking for good men everywhere, and they refused at the beginning. The heroes of the Dengbei family rejected them again. It's really hard to think about it."

Fang Zheng complained in his heart, if some of Emperor Yao Yu's officials were not firm in their determination, they didn't really reject Deng Bei's family at the beginning, and after more than ten years, her daughters came here again... that's really not dare to think about it, the primitive society really……

Zifeng paused and changed the subject: "Emperor Chongyu was the one who succeeded him at that time, and he went to control the water everywhere. The two lords Zu Jiang sent him the 'Holy Maiden' of the tribe, who came from one of the oldest tribes. Shan family, I heard that she has a strong ability to drive animals, especially foxes. She helped Emperor Chongyu a lot with this ability. The Tu Shan family also contributed a lot of effort to things like carving a tripod and casting Kyushu. Therefore, Emperor Chongyu agreed to many development needs of Zu Jiang, such as exchanging food, weapons, technology, etc. "

Fang Zheng recalled the information revealed by Cha'er and Gou'er at that time - Zu Jiang developed and expanded rapidly in those decades, and soon became the largest tribe in the west.They also learned from Emperor Chongyu to summon the "Xiao Wanbang", but according to them, they are restoring the ancestral system, and they hold a "Yao Banquet" every ten years, and invite the leaders of all tribes to come to participate. This is actually their "Borrowing Conference" ", they rejoice with the strongest and best men and give birth to the same excellent offspring. If they are men, they will "marry" to the outside tribe and exchange new men to come in, so as to ensure the number of slaves and avoid blood relatives match.The women they channel are very strong, intelligent and capable.Fang Zheng thought to himself, this is the method of selection and breeding of good genes in the biology of later generations. One of the means to keep strong is the good original species and diversity, which has been used so skillfully in the primitive matrilineal society tribes.

"Now Zujiang's Great Lord and Second King are the daughters of Xiaoming and Zhuguang." Zifeng told Fang Zhengdao, "From this generation on, their thoughts have gradually changed. That great state asked me to find Lord Yi's bow and arrow. To find Emperor Yao Yu's tomb, although she didn't say it explicitly, but I can feel...she wants to confirm who her father or grandfather is."

Fang Zheng's heart shuddered. Is it a sign of the so-called 'matriarchal society gradually looking for paternal pedigree'?At a certain stage in human society, the "sense of belonging" will always begin to strengthen, so both parties with clans and blood relatives will start to pay attention to their fathers in addition to their mothers, which is the prelude to slowly entering a patrilineal society.And that a lot of strict and complicated laws of heaven, laws, laws and human relationships, which gave birth to civilized etiquette, and the traditional feudalism that accompanies it with light and shadow, also gave birth to germination.
