On the Importance of Chinese Characters

"Is this the main city of Yuanshi Mansion?"

Zhuang Yunzhou opened the window, looked at the miniature city that was getting closer and closer below, and exclaimed.

The main city of Yuanshi Mansion is called 'Record City', which consists of sixteen tall and heavy mountains.The buildings in the city are built like steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are hundreds of stone bridges communicating with each other between the mountains, which is convenient for people to quickly go from one mountain to another.

Looking down at the entire Lucheng from the sky is already a beautiful scenery, but when the frame landed on the east gate of Lucheng and looked up from the bottom, another unique shock came to my heart.

The whole recorded city is filled with a strong ancient flavor, as if soaked in history.

The rough and heavy city wall is made of huge rocks, and the wind and rain have left countless traces of time on it. There are plants and trees sticking out their heads tenaciously from the gaps in the boulders, and the moss in the corners is green and lovely.

The tall city gates that have been washed and faded by the years are still engraved with styles that were popular 2 years ago, which have been handed down to this day, but they do not have a simple beauty.

Walking into Lucheng, there are various houses scattered here and there, old and new. People walking on the road are wearing clothes that are popular in different periods.

The first peak of Lucheng is the entrance to Dongcheng, and it is also the administrative peak of Lucheng.The ancient and majestic manor on the top of the mountain is the residence of the master of Yuanshi Mansion.The mansion master of the Yuanshi Mansion is the only member of the Wanshu tribe who will return in his prime. They call themselves "gravekeepers".

Generations of Wanshu people have recorded countless histories, but only the most authoritative records can be stored in Lucheng.The center of these sixteen peaks is the burial ground of these record masters, on which countless outstanding people of the Wanshu Clan lie buried.

And these stones of attention, which record countless histories, are their most precious funeral objects.

Holding Su Yu's identity token, Su Wu knocked on the gate of the manor at the top of the first peak.

After a while, the first simple and melodious bell echoed among the mountain peaks.The residents of Youlu city put down their things, looked up at the first peak, curious about which distinguished guest came, and let the palace lord ring the bell to welcome him.

As soon as the long bell on the first peak fell, the second peak followed.

One peak after another, the thick and heavy bells continued for a long time, until the No. 15 bell ended, and the people in Lucheng were amazed that a great person came to the city.At the same time, on the sixth peak, the eyes of the two young Celestial Clans who looked exactly the same brightened, they looked at each other, and stood up.

The wide door of the palace lord's residence slowly opened, and Ning Changhe, the patriarch of the Wanshu Clan, slowly walked out of the door. This Wanshu Clan, who was only half the height of the Spirit Clan, had brown bark-like skin, and clusters of green leaves growing on his ears. , pieces of emerald green leaves covered the top of his hands, it was his hair.

Zhuang Yunzhou deliberately got to know the Wanshu clan before coming here.This is a race similar to the tree people described in the previous novel. There are tall tree species, short shrub species and special vine species in the race.

The amount and color of the hair represent what period they are in. Green is juvenile, green is youth, emerald green is adult, green and yellow is old, and withered and yellow is a sign of death.

From this point of view, Ning Changhe is a mature Wanshuren of shrub species.

Seeing Su Yu, Ning Changhe took two quick steps, looked him up and down several times with an expectant smile on his brown face, and said, "My lord, the sage was born in the year 110. .Father, Su Shengren, the master of the northern border, and mother, Jiaoyuejie of the Baiwei clan of the Tushan tribe, were a hundred years old at the time."

"Your birth is a major event in the northern region, and it is also a major event in the entire Tianze world. You are the first generation of saints. Because of your birth, my Wanshu clan is full of excitement. It is a pity that I was already a tomb keeper back then. It is a pity that I cannot Witness the grand occasion of your birth."

Su Yu stared slightly at Ning Changhe's gentle and joyful eyes. He never thought that there would be a race that would not care about others, but was simply happy for his birth.

Su Yu involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, with a very kind tone: "Master, I came this time to take a look at the two ancestors of the spirit clan collected by the nobles. If it is the one I am looking for, I am willing." Trade things in."

"It's what the Eldest Young Master wants, of course there is no problem." Ning Changhe agreed very simply, "Please come with me, Young Master."

Ning Changhe's leaves' ears trembled twice, and the message that only the Wanshu clan could perceive was sent out.Soon, rustling sounds came from the lush woods next to the manor.

Zhuang Yunzhou and the others turned their heads to look, and saw a thick tree root with many thin roots protruding from the woods suddenly, and one was followed by another.

The two tree roots stepped out of the forest like human legs, and it was only after this thing got out of the forest that Zhuang Yunzhou discovered that it was actually a different plant.

This heterogeneous plant looks like a tree stump cut horizontally by someone with a tool. Four clusters of thick rhizomes protrude from the bottom of the tree stump, with fresh soil on it. It looks like it has just pulled itself out of the ground. The way it came out.

Ning Changhe clapped his hands and said, "Little Vinegar, take us to the Fifth Peak."

Hearing the owner's voice, a big round eye suddenly appeared on the cross-section of the tree stump facing forward. After blinking twice, it arched its back. Although there was no sound, Zhuang Yunzhou It seems to hear the sound of its hard work——

'Puff puff puff puff', eight round leaves suddenly emerged from its back, and the leaf stalks stretched and fell beside everyone.

Ning Changhe bent his knees slightly, jumped up lightly, sat cross-legged on the round leaf, and then the leaf stalk retracted, carrying Ning Changhe on his back, and the others followed suit.

After everyone was seated firmly, Xiao Vinegar jumped happily on the spot twice, and then rolled her legs into several circles, and rushed out with a 'swoosh'.

Xiaojiu is Ning Changhe's mount, and he is very familiar with Lucheng. He quickly found the fastest one leading to the fifth peak among the dozens of passages on the first peak.

There is a semi-arc-shaped depression on both sides of the passage built between the peaks. As soon as Xiao Vinegar arrived here, he put away the roots of the tree, rushed towards the depression like a child, and stuck himself there. sunken place.

A huge feeling of pushing back came instantly, and Zhuang Yunzhou involuntarily leaned back, leaning against the back of the leaf that Little Vinegar stretched out at some point.

The extremely fast speed brought a refreshing wind, Fang Qiling let out a hearty laugh, and praised: "This exotic plant is really good!"

Little Vinegar seemed to understand that someone was praising it. The leaf that was originally placed on Ning Changhe’s head to block the sun drew an arc, and scratched the front stump twice, looking very embarrassed, and Ning Changhe was merciless A slap on the tree stump: "Cover me, I don't know if I have been exposed to too much sun recently?"

In an instant, the leaves stretched back at an extremely fast speed, and two more emerged, completely covering the left and right tops of Ning Changhe's head.

Zhuang Yunzhou's eyes couldn't help laughing and curved into a crescent moon, his whole body suddenly relaxed, those heavy doubts seemed not so depressing at this moment.

They passed through three such passages in total.Zhuang Yunzhou let go of his chaotic thoughts, experienced the 'roller coaster' twice, and finally arrived at the fifth peak of Lucheng.

'Five' is the most honorable number in the Wanshu clan, and it is the burial ground of countless Wanshu sages. Even Little Vinegar became calm when he reached the fifth peak

This is a very high mountain, except for a few buildings at the foot of the mountain, the entire mountain has maintained the most primitive appearance, and there seems to be no trace of any activities of the Celestial Clan.

Ning Changhe led them through the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, walking solemnly and quietly along a long bluestone road step by step, and Zhuang Yunzhou saw a huge cave entrance.

Both sides of the hole are planted with extremely dangerous exotic plants. The alien plants who sensed someone coming turned their heads in unison.

Ning Changhe took a step forward and held up a leaf.

As soon as the leaf came out, all the different plants turned their heads back and returned to their original quiet appearance.

Ning Changhe straightened his clothes and stepped into the cave, followed by Zhuang Yunzhou and his party.

The mountain wall is inlaid with natural moonstones, and the soft light instantly draws people into a quiet atmosphere. Zhuang Yunzhou walked in this passage, as if he could smell the fragrance of books in his childhood study.

Everyone walked forward for 50 meters, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

"Wow~" Zhuang Yunzhou raised his head and couldn't help but exclaim.

The abdominal cavity of the entire Fifth Peak was actually completely hollowed out, and even the top of the mountain was opened up. The sunlight shone down from above, illuminating the exit at the top brightly and vaguely.

Numerous small grids have been chiseled on the circular mountain wall. The irregular grids exude an indescribably ancient and peaceful atmosphere. Inside each small grid is a star. Stones, a blossoming light illuminates the entire mountainside.

There is a staircase entrance on the left and right sides of the cave. Looking from the bottom up, the seemingly endless circle of stairs is like a never-ending history.

"Let's go." Ning Changhe climbed up from the steps on the right, and finally stopped at a small grid.

There are two things here.

The sacred mountain in Zhuang Yunzhou Xuhai, which had been trembling since stepping into the cave, finally stopped. He raised his hand and picked up the red fruit.

"Qi" in oracle bone inscriptions means wolfberry, a small deciduous shrub with oval red berries.

A gust of breeze blew down from the top of the mountain, lifting the hair on Zhuang Yunzhou's forehead. He held the Zuyuan and looked at it for a while, then gently put it back.

And on the wall of the sacred mountain in his imaginary sea, a character flickered for a while and then disappeared, it was the character 'Qi' in oracle bone inscriptions.

"No." Zhuang Yunzhou shook his head at Su Yu.
