Mountains and seas can be flat

This period of time was not the most painful time for Fang Zheng, but it was the one that made him think the most and subtly affected his character the most.

The sense of uncontrollability brought about by blindness made Fang Zheng feel weak, so he put away his spikes and tried to be cautious, honest and patient.His heart was broken but calm because of this, and he often wondered what he would do if he couldn't see for the rest of his life.Fang Zheng always thinks from the worst side, as long as he thinks that this problem points to a solution like "being taken care of for a lifetime", he will suffocate for a while.

Therefore, Fang Zheng did not deduce the truth in time based on the few minor ailments of "Lianfeng".

Once when approaching the Qinglongling Valley, the team was resting, and Fang Zheng's ears were filled with the humming of livestock brought by the Jiuli people (they brought pigs and chickens), the noise of soldiers' children playing, and the old man who operated the copper furnace. Soldiers saliva flying across the sound of storytelling, Fang Zheng leaned against a tree to rest his mind, the little purple man curled up on his shoulders and rubbed against him furryly, after a while Fang Zheng felt that "Lian Feng" came to him again for warm comfort Embrace.Fang Zheng seldom blames or admonishes him now, only responds with silence, and allows him to hold himself, as long as he doesn't move his hands or feet.

Zifeng is used to being so close to Fang Zheng, and it was his joy and comfort during the long nights. During these days, he racked his brains to think about the contact with women from the Youbi tribe, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, have you ever hated me?" someone?"

"A lot." Fang Zheng told the truth. He was an angry youth in the past, and he encountered ups and downs. He hated many people from top to bottom, and he also hated himself who was spiky and ignorant.

"Then have they ever hated you?" Zifeng asked again in a low voice.

"Maybe." Fang Zheng said indifferently, remembering the intimidation and exaggeration after the group fights.

"Then what should we do?" Zifeng asked in distress.

"What else can I do, fight if you can, and hide if you can't be provoked." Fang Zheng shrugged.

Zifeng laughed and said, "Why do I feel that brother Zheng seems to be indifferent?"

Fang Zheng said calmly: "Because those are no longer the focus of my life." Whether it is hurt or hatred, it is like a beach after low tide, forever sealed in Fang Zheng's youth that no one can see.In comparison, the discomfort caused by blindness is a new thing for Fang Zheng to overcome. He has experienced much worse things.

"Why do you ask this?" Fang Zheng patted his head.

"Just curious." Zifeng understated, thoughtful in his heart, his thoughts gradually became clear, and he continued to sleep peacefully in Fang Zheng's arms.

A few days later, it was about to reach the entrance of the Qinglongling Valley, and there would be guards at the entrance. Zifeng speculated that the guards might be a woman who knew him from the Bi tribe, so he said to Fang Zheng: "Brother Zheng, I Go to the edge of the valley to inspect and see if there is any high ground suitable for sentry."

"There are servant cows on the eastern highlands, what are you going to do?"

Zifeng's heart skipped a beat, then he should try to stay away from the eastern highlands, and Puniu would not show mercy to him. "This valley was almost attacked by birds. Since the servant cow is guarding the east, I will go to the west to take a look. We can build a 'bell net' to guard against birds."

Fang Zheng said: "Are you going to do it today? Are you in such a hurry?" But Fang Zheng thought, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and it can be regarded as his heart disease.If Lianfeng can solve this problem, it will be very beneficial to them. "Then you go up from the inside of the valley."

"That's meaningless." Lian Feng said, "I'm going to try to see if I can climb in from the mountain wall outside."

"That's fine," Fang Zheng said, "Then you can do a 'big inspection' around the valley."

Zifeng could barely understand, "Well, I'll come back to find brother Zheng at night." Carrying out the phrase "If you can't provoke him, just hide", Zifeng avoided the first cordon at the entrance of the valley.But this is not the final solution to the problem, he has other arrangements.

Fang Zheng led the Jiuli people to the entrance of the hidden passage in the valley. It looked like a very ordinary small slope, but when the Jiuli people walked up, a dozen flying arrows with poisonous arrows whizzed over from all around. search.Fang Zheng didn't have any around him.Of course, the Jiuli fighters were not vegetarians either. They slashed away with their weapons quickly, fending off the first wave of surprise attacks, and even cut a few ropes.

Fang Zheng listened to the voice and said with emotion, if they really faced each other, these trained male fighters would seem to have an advantage.

"Put it away," Fang Zheng said to the surroundings, "They are friends."

The surrounding turf was opened, and dozens of women with spears and axes came out. They were a guard team composed of "female hunters" headed by Teng Mao, who were responsible for guarding near the entrance.

"You are finally back." They said to Fang Zheng in surprise. During this period of time, they were worried. The security work was more meticulous and serious than before, and they also stepped up exercise. Today's physical fitness and fighting quality are better than when Fang Zheng left.

Although Fang Zheng couldn't see it, he could hear it from their footsteps, which added to Fang Zheng's experience: You can't just let them rely on yourself, and leaving them occasionally can exercise the other party's self-reliance and self-improvement.In order not to let them lose this sense of tension, Fang Zheng pointed to his eyes and said: "I am back, but don't count on it, I want to recuperate."

Teng Mao and the others were shocked again, and looked seriously at Fang Zheng poking the road ahead with a black sword.Fang Zheng was actually blind, which made their hearts heavy-they always thought that Fang Zheng was a god, and suddenly realized that he was also a mortal body that would be injured.

Usually, Zifeng is holding him by the hand, but now that Zifeng is not around, Fang Zheng walks slowly as he fumbles.But he didn't let others help him. Relying on his memory, hearing and feeling, he walked to the small soil slope and dug out two pieces of turf. The Jiuli people were surprised to find a hole in the ground.

Fang Zheng pondered: "This copper furnace, let's see how it fits in."

The passage was about the same width as the copper furnace, and it was barely passable.However, the long and narrow passage certainly cannot be carried by twenty soldiers at the same time, and its weight cannot be solved by pushing forward and pulling backward.

"We're going to make some sliding devices." Fang Zheng said another term they didn't understand.

In fact, it is better to make a pulley, but it cannot be cut into a wheel shape without tools.Fang Zheng directed these people to find a lot of wood, cut off the heads and tails, and got logs one by one, cut the logs into small pieces, and put them in the passage to become a simple sliding device.With the log rolling below, I asked the two strongest fighters among the Jiuli people to push and pull, and finally pushed the copper stove into the long and narrow passage with difficulty.

The logs used in the back were handed to the front for padding. After a long time of tossing with this primitive method, the copper furnace was finally sent in. After coming out of the passage, the world suddenly widened, and the Jiuli people were dazzled.

"It's so beautiful." The only Xiangyou witch who followed admired Zhengdao, "You are better than the environment by the bamboo in Xiangshui."

There are lush vegetation here, and the fruits visible to the naked eye include chestnuts, apricots, peaches, tall ginkgoes and pine trees, Wangtian fir with dense crowns, and wild mulberries. It was gray and black huts, shrouded in mist.The clear river runs through this fertile land like a jade belt, and small fish jump from time to time in the river.

Fang Zheng felt much better when he heard the familiar natural sound in the valley, but now he is not in the mood to appreciate it.Let the people of Jiuli carry the copper stove to the edge of the valley where there is no one, and said: "Go to a meeting to discuss your placement. I will use that copper stove as soon as possible."

"Meeting" is another new word, but the women of the Bi tribe are not surprised. They just observed the strong fighters of Jiuli in surprise, and learned about things from time to time when they asked Fang Zheng and introduced each other. The ins and outs.Teng Mao was a little excited. The badian man whom the four of them married was killed by Zu Jiang's spies. Fang Zheng's words of "finding you a better one" were not empty words.

Teng Mao told Fang Zheng that the commune was temporarily moved to the cave. After all, the threat from the sky had not been lifted at that time, and the elders were very cautious.They found that the cave was very big, and they considered whether to let everyone move in, but after a while it seemed that nothing happened, and everyone was reluctant to build the volcanic ash house, so they still lived in the original place, just put the baby in the cave. The medicinal materials from the nursery school and the commune were transferred in.

"The cave is very big?" Fang Zheng explored the entrance of the cave, but it can't be considered "big" anyway. Could it be that the magnetic mining area inside has begun to affect the geology again?Fang Zheng was thinking while walking, and he was able to accurately kick off the small stones on the road ahead, which made Teng Mao very surprised: "Aren't you blind?"

"Many things have sound." Fang Zheng's footsteps are not much slower than theirs. When the black long sword is touched on the ground, it will vibrate things on the ground nearby, and some small stones will make sound. Fang Zheng relies on this method to find the way. Even the wind It was the same when he was here, he didn't want to rely on Lian Feng to carry him forever.

"Where's the Xingji boy who went out with you?" Tengmao asked curiously again.

"He is strengthening his vigilance nearby, come later." Not to mention Fang Zheng, they had a meeting for half a day, discussing a lot of issues, and said that later, Zifeng finally climbed to the top of the valley cliff.

Seen from above, the valley is in the shape of pockets with two pointed ends, and to the south is a barrier like a waterfall of several peaks, which Zifeng could not climb up.To the north are towering peaks like pinnacles, too narrow to stand on and impossible to climb.The east side is a steep slope, which can barely be climbed, but Puniu lives there; the last is the west side, which is the source of the valley stream, formed by huge piles of rocks, slippery and steep, very difficult to climb, but Zifeng still climbed up , and saw a stone land on it, suitable for building a small house.

Zifeng asked Jiuli Datongya for a copper mask before, and he covered his face, then quickly slipped down the valley, sneaking carefully in the valley.With his agility and agility, he managed to avoid several waves of women on the road. Even if he noticed it occasionally, it swayed out of their retinas like a gust of wind and a puff of smoke.

Zifeng covered himself all the way, and finally reached the other end of the valley, where there were more than a dozen abandoned houses, which were specially used to house foreign prisoners who tried to escape.It didn't take long for Zifeng to find his target - two rooms with newly rolled wooden fences. Looking from the fences, Zu Jiang's female spies, Cha'er and Gou'er, were locked inside.They were detained separately.A thick hemp rope is tied on the hand.

Zifeng pulled out the wooden bar that guarded Cha'er's room and stepped in. The food bowl in front of her was already empty, and there was no strange smell in the cell.She looked up and saw Zifeng's copper mask, and just about to scream, Zifeng asked through the mask, "Where is the disguise tool you buried outside the valley?"

Cha'er quickly looked at Zifeng's figure, and said in surprise, "Master Zifeng? You? You've recovered..." Her face was pale and complicated. In fact, they had never seen this horrible skill with their own eyes. It's just that Yu Yi's rumors about beheading the big green dragon alone, and after Zu Jiang's master of the country sent other elite spies to rescue him, they heard that he was pierced by 28 iron chains and he was still alive. A series of rumors about being sent out to do things made people click their tongues.

Cha'er reacted quickly: "Master Zifeng, back then I didn't reveal your identity even when I was poisoned by a Gu worm, so you have to save me."

What kind of Gu worm was Zi Feng thinking about? Fang Zheng lied to them, but he would not disclose information that would be harmful to Fang Zheng, so he just said lightly: "I remember it, but I can't control the Gu worm, so why let myself What about suffering? They just want you to be soft, you agree first, and other things will be discussed later. I will stay here for a long time."

Cha'er was dumbfounded. If it wasn't for Zifeng's identity, she would have suspected that he was a lobbyist of the tribe. In fact, during this time, the elders of the Bi tribe had Fang Zheng's instruction and decided to take care of them very well.Although it is locked up, there are three meals a day, and there are dedicated people to clean up, and they come to chat with them every few days to exchange feelings.The weak-willed Gou'er almost fell, even though they had never received such care in Zu Jiang's country.Cha'er keeps reminding herself that this is all an illusion, they must be using her, and they must not betray to resist the sugar-coated cannon. But at this moment Zifeng actually persuades her to give in?

Beads of sweat dripped from Cha'er's forehead, did Master Zifeng have friendship with this tribe?Or did he have contact with Fang Zheng as Lian Feng?

"Think about it yourself." Zifeng said, "I'm not from Zujiang either, and the Lord of the Two Kingdoms you are loyal to wants to arrest me. That time you hid in the house and assassinated Zheng...Fang Zheng and injured me. " Zifeng said grimly, "For the sake of not revealing my identity, I will not settle this account with you. The location of the disguise tool..."

Cha'er was trembling. Indeed, from a standpoint, Zifeng could kill her and get rid of the tail of the second king. Since this was life-saving straw, she immediately said cleverly: "Under the biggest beech outside the valley. Mr. Zifeng, you What do you want Yicheng to do? You bring people over and I will help you—”

"No need. You don't need to change so much." Zifeng has also seen Zu Jiang's set of disguise tools. In addition to the thin copper needles for sewing human-skin-masks on the head, there are also some ore powders. Dyes to modify eyebrows or change skin tone.Zifeng decided to live in a high place in the west away from those women, try to minimize contact with them, draw facial features, become more like "Lianfeng", and put on a mask, so that most of the cases will not be exposed.If he really wanted to find Fang Zheng, he would just sneak in today, and he might not meet a few people along the way.

Today, when I got in touch with Cha'er again, Zifeng has been in a daze for a long time and no one has called him "Master Zifeng". This not only brought back memories of his past, but also aroused the unwillingness and hatred in his heart that was hard to get rid of. The pain of severe torture is like a nightmare, many nights only by holding Fang Zheng's warm body can prevent him from dreaming of that hellish experience.

At first, Zifeng couldn't figure out why he had worked hard and been loyal for so many years, why it ended like this in the end.

After following Fang Zheng into the tomb of Emperor Yao Yu in the Abyss of Cangwu, Zifeng figured out one thing: his confusion was because he had never experienced the era of a virtuous king.Now that I have a comparison, I understand that Yu Yi's monarch is not qualified, far worse than his ancestors, otherwise he would not easily abandon himself.Zu Jiang's daughter-in-law rescued her, but she couldn't wait to use her, and her vision was only at that level.

The contrast in Zifeng's heart is even stronger. 60 years ago, the Yu Dynasty was divided. Although the technology has been passed down, there is no elder leader with excellent ability and morality, and they can be re-integrated to form a unified and powerful force... This is not unrelated to the disqualification of the superior.Where can I find people like Tao Tang, Yao Yu, and Chong Yu?

Zifeng frowned. In the past, he carried out orders blindly and didn't know right from wrong, because he didn't know what was right and what was wrong.But from then on he knew that the king of Yu Yi was not qualified, and he knew that he was not worthy of being wronged. Zifeng gritted his teeth, his fists and eyes protruding with blue veins, until Cha'er timidly called out: "Master Zifeng? Master Zifeng? If it is according to what you said , Didn’t I...betray Zu Jiang? We soldiers cannot betray. Now that your body has recovered, do you want to go back?”

Zifeng said: "That's not betrayal, you'll understand. As for me..." He took a deep breath, his expression gradually complicated "Of course I want to go back, but..." He sneered, "Of course I have to save enough for the king gift, go back."
