hold on to that dragon

Jiang Rang set off for Duguangye with Feng Xiaomao.

However, he was heading northwest.

Feng Wangbei didn't know that Du Guangye was in the south, but he knew that the surrounding area was getting colder and colder, so he asked, "Where are we going? To the North Pole?"

——This is a joke. When Feng Wangbei didn't know the existence of the spirit world, he thought that Nether was very close to the North Pole.

However, Youdu is indeed located in the extreme north of the spirit world, and it is not wrong to say that this is the North Pole.

"Go to Yuyuan." Jiang Rang said.

Habuchi is a lake below Mount Ha.

The full name of Yushan Mountain is Weiyu Mountain. It is located in the shade of the extreme north, and it is a mountain that cannot be seen by the sun.

The cold wind was howling, the snowflakes were raging, and the wind ball was in Jiang Rang's hood, thinking, Yuyuan must be a frozen lake.

Yuyuan is indeed a frozen lake now, but it doesn't freeze all year round, it has about four months of ice-free period a year.

After arriving at Yuyuan, Jiang Rang flew up, hung above the frozen Yuyuan, took out his umbrella, and poked at the frozen lake from a distance. A hole for people to come in and out of.

Jiang Rang jumped into the water from the big hole with Feng Xiaomao, Feng Xiaomao quickly hugged Jiang Rang's lock of hair tightly, and closed his eyes.

But they were not soaked in the ice water, because a large air bubble surrounded them, and the windball opened his eyes and saw them sinking slowly into the lake like balloons falling from the sky.

The dark underwater is another world. The huge black aquatic plants are as dense as a forest, and each aquatic plant has a soul body hanging on it. If you look around, this is an underwater soul world.

Jiang Rang opened his umbrella, black mist poured out, and the wandering soul stored in the umbrella spread into the lake with the black mist, and the water plants danced like streamers, each streamer entangled a soul body, and soon hundreds of The wandering souls were divided up by the aquatic plants.

This scene is kind of scary.

Feng Wangbei asked Jiang Rang in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"Cultivate the soul. Seriously damaged souls will be placed here for cultivation."

The aquatic plants at the bottom of Yuyuan Lake are called soul-nourishing grass, which can replenish strength to the damaged soul body.

What Jiang Rang just put into the lake was the ghost he received from Wei's house.These soul bodies have been refined by the soul refining technique, and they are all incomplete. If left alone, they will dissipate in a short time.

"You still have a nursing home."

No wonder the Nether is called the Kingdom of Ghosts, because it is indeed the kingdom of ghosts, controlling them and providing them with shelter.

After releasing the soul body in the umbrella, Jiang Rang threw the clay figurines he had collected from Wei's house into the lake. There was a black soul bead mixed in between the clay figurines. Feng Wangbei recognized it: "It's the one who ran away. The little clay figurine that came to our room."

The soul pearl seemed to be soaked in water, and turned into a little boy with closed eyes. A piece of soul nourishing grass stretched out, entangled the little boy, and pulled him away.

Those clay figurines sank on the fine sand at the bottom of the lake, soaked by the water of Yuyuan, and soon turned into mud, and small souls floated out of the rotten clay figurines, and the soul-nourishing grass began to dance again, like The welcome ceremony was held, and soon, those little souls were hung on the soul-nourishing grass.

Feng Wangbei said: "Like ginseng fruit."

"Ok?"

"It is said that the fruit that looks like a child can live for a long time after eating it."

Jiang Rang looked at the soul nourishing grass: "Do you want to eat it?"

"...No, no, I just have rich associations." The "children" are hung on the soul-nourishing grass. Who would want to eat children?

"There is a tree in the spiritual world, and villains will grow on it. They are called fungus people. Eating them can increase your lifespan by hundreds of years."

"A living villain?"

"Well, he can move, laugh, and play by himself, just like a child."

"Someone going to eat them?"

"Well. But bacteria people are rare, basically equivalent to legends."

"It must have been hidden, otherwise it would be eaten by you, it would be terrible."

"There is nothing you can't eat." Jiang Rang said, "The strong in the spirit world are respected, and the weak are preyed on by the strong. After leaving Nether, don't run around, and be careful not to be caught and eaten."

Feng Wangbei: "..." It must be scaring him.

Jiang Rang floated into the soul-cultivating grass forest with Feng Wangbei. He looked at the soul-nourishing grass as if he was inspecting something.

Feng Wangbei thinks this scene is a bit scary, huge aquatic plants, countless "corpses", it looks a little better from a distance, and the water is dark, don't look too hard, it doesn't look too real, it really makes people feel suffocated when viewed up close feel……

Jiang Rang raised his hand, grabbed a soul body, and threw it into his umbrella.

Feng Wangbei felt like he was picking ripe fruits...

Jiang Rang inspected the entire forest, "picked up" a few soul bodies, and put them all into his umbrella.

Feng Wangbei asked: "What's wrong with them? Don't you need to continue training?"

"Well, they have almost cultivated themselves."

After the work was done, Jiang Rang rose to the lake with the wind and looked north, and still went out from the previous ice cave.

Walking on the thick ice, Jiang Rang chatted with Feng Wangbei: "Da Yu's father Gun died in this area."

"Da Yu, I know that Dayu controlled the floods, and his father also controlled the waters, but failed and was killed. Then he inherited his father's business and continued to manage the waters, right?"

"Ah."

In ancient times, when a flood broke out, Gun stole the emperor's breath soil (a kind of sacred soil that can grow by itself) to control the flood. After the emperor found out, he sent someone to kill him in Yushan.

"After Gun died, his body did not rot for three years. Someone cut open his stomach, and then Yu was born."

"Da Yu came out of his father's stomach. How can a man give birth to a child? And his father was dead at that time. So, Dayu is a ghost? Is it formed by his father's obsession with water control?" Feng Wangbei was a little confused. I was a little excited, feeling as if I had discovered a shocking secret.

"Not necessarily, men of some races can also have children. Gun is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, a divine race, and it is possible for him to give birth to Dayu as a dead person. Legend has it that after giving birth to Dayu, he turned into a ghost and sank into the feathers. Yuan, therefore, his ghost incarnation 'other person' is not Dayu."

"What happened after he turned into a ghost?"

"It should have lived for a while, and then dissipated." Jiang Rang said, "His divine power and obsession with water control were passed on to his son. His son succeeded in water control later, and his wish was fulfilled, so he should have dissipated."

If you die, you must control the water, and if you succeed in water control, you will really die.The obsession of ghosts is really embarrassing.

Feng Wangbei sighed in disappointment.

Jiang Rang touched the little fur ball, looked at Yushan next to him, and asked, "Do you want to visit Yushan?"

"Okay." Fengwangbei's attention was diverted, it looked at the snow-covered mountain next to Yuyuan, "Why is it called Yushan?"

"The mountain of entrusted feathers."

When the weather is warm, many birds will molt in this area, so this mountain is called Weiyu Mountain, Weiyu means shedding feathers.

Feng Wangbei imagined the scene of feathers flying all over the sky: "I have to take a look then."

"Are you coming to change your hair too?"

Feng Xiao Maoqiu immediately shook his head: "I don't want to shed hair." The naked bird is too ugly.

Jiang Rang smiled: "You may still want to change your fur. Let me show you what you look like now." He took out the mirror to take a picture of the little furball.

In the snow light, a white fur ball appeared in the mirror, it was a little bigger than before, other than that there was not much change, even the dull fur that was scalded in the flames was still on its head...

Fengwangbei wants to cry but has no tears. Hasn't its fur been reborn once in the fire?Why didn't these curly hairs regenerate?

The curly hair of beasts is fine, but what about the curly hair of birds?Fortunately, only a few hairs on the head are curly, otherwise it would be ugly to be covered with messy curly hair.

Feng Wangbei looked at Jiang Rang: "When I became a human, my hair was curly, right?" Did he meet Jiang Rang with curly hair?

"It's straight, and it's black."

The hair of many creatures will be the same color as their original hair, but Feng Wangbei did not follow the rules.

Feng Wangbei focused his attention on "black", he guessed that Jiang Rang liked black, and said: "Black is good, I like black."

Jiang Rang smiled slightly, put away the mirror, put the little wind ball back into the hood, and continued walking up the mountain.

The little furball looked around: "Is the mountain next to it also Yushan?"

"Probably belongs to the Yushan mountain range? These mountains are connected together, and I can't tell which mountain is called." Jiang Rang looked around and pointed to a mountain road in the northwest, "That should be Zhongshan, very Long ago, Candle Dragon lived there."

Zhulong is a descendant of Pangu with a human face and a snake body. He lives in the extreme north and is the god of Zhongshan.

Legend has it that when he opens his eyes, it is daytime, and when he closes his eyes, it is night.

——Only in the extreme north where the sun doesn't see the sun can he use this ability.There is sun elsewhere.

"He's not there now?" Feng Wangbei asked.

"No, it should have gone to the God Realm when the God Realm and the Lower Realm were separated."

"Oh. Why are the God Realm and the Lower Realm separated?" Feng Wangbei was curious.

The human world and the spirit world are collectively referred to as the lower realm, while the god realm is the upper realm.

"At that time, the Emperor of Heaven felt that gods and humans should not live together, and it is better to rule separately."

"Oh. The human world and the spiritual world were also separated at that time?"

"The separation of the Three Realms is a very long process." Jiang Rang said, "After the Battle of Buzhou Mountain, the Heavenly Emperor asked his subordinate gods to separate the God Realm and the Lower Realm, cutting off the heavenly road. But it was not until Dayu's death that the God Realm and the Lower Realm were completely separated, that is, At that time, the lower world was split into the spirit world and the human world."

The period between the Battle of Buzhou Mountain and Dayu's death was not short, at least several thousand years, even tens of thousands of years.During this period of time, communication between God and man was still very frequent.After that, the gods began to disappear.

"Why did the spirit world and the human world have to separate after Dayu's death?"

"It should be related to the flood that almost destroyed the world. It is said that the flood was a man-made disaster. This incident probably made the gods feel that it is easier to manage the various ethnic groups, so the Three Realms were completely separated."

Feng Wangbei said: "But the spirit world and the human world are not completely separated, it seems that there has always been a faint connection."

"Well, the barrier between the spirit world and the human world is not seamless enough."

After all, the spirit world and the human world are both lower realms, and they are worlds on the same level, so it is easier to figure it out.

But going from the lower realm to the upper realm is difficult. The sky and the earth are two worlds. After the celestial road is cut off, the people in the lower realm will never go to the sky again.

"Fortunately there is a seam, otherwise I wouldn't be able to know you." Feng Wangbei said.

"Not necessarily, you are originally from the spirit world. If there is no gap, you will stay in the spirit world forever. Maybe we have known each other for a long time."

"Oh yes..."

After reaching the top of Yushan Mountain, Fengwangbei saw the shining sun in the distance, and it flew up excitedly: "It's so bright."

The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, mixed with heavy snowflakes, and Fengwangbei was almost overturned.

Jiang Rang reached out to protect it.The little fur ball slammed into Jiang Rang's hand and rubbed his head against his hand.Jiang Rang touched its little head.

"That direction is Buzhou Mountain, do you want to see it?" Jiang Rang said, looking at the bright spot in the distance.

"The legendary Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain? The mountain that Gonggong hit?"

"Correct."

In the era of Xuandi Zhuanxu (the grandson of the Yellow Emperor), the Battle of Buzhou Mountain broke out. The descendants of Emperor Yan, Gonggong, raised troops and wanted to overthrow the rule of the Yellow Emperor, but failed in the end. In a fit of anger, Gonggong broke the Tianzhu. Zhoushan caused the sky and the earth to tilt. From then on, the stars in the sky began to move, and the rivers on the ground also began to flow eastward.

It was also because of this war that Zhuan Xu, who was the Emperor of Heaven at the time, had the idea of ​​​​separating the heaven and the earth.

"I want to go, but it's so far away. Let's go later." Feng Wangbei said, "Let's go to Du Guangye first." His father and uncle have already gone to Du Guangye. Want to beat him up.

"Alright."

Jiang Rang took Feng Wangbei down the mountain from the west of Yushan Mountain, and then walked all the way to the southwest.

On the way, I passed the settlements of some ethnic groups, but Jiang Rang didn't stop, so Feng Wangbei only took a few glances from a distance.

"I seem to see people and horses."

The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a horse, running fast.

Jiang Rang said: "Want to ride a horse again?"

"...No, no." Riding a horse is so strange, I dare not ride.

As we walked forward, the sky became brighter. When it was completely bright, Jiang Rang said, "We're almost at the beach."

"North Sea? I smell the fishy smell of the sea."

"Well, Beihai is also called Beiming. In front is Haimen, let's go there to take a boat."

Haimen is a city, and the people who live here are mainly Yimu people, whose characteristic is that they have only one eye.

"A city in the spirit world?" Feng Xiaomao flew out of Jiang Rang's hood and looked forward with great interest, "Where is where?"

This place is very desolate, there are rocks everywhere, no trees, not even much grass, and there is still a city?

Jiang Rang said: "Just ahead."

Where is the front?Feng Xiaomao looked forward, but there was nothing in front of him.

After walking a few more miles, Fengwangbei finally saw the city.

It turns out that only the roofs of the houses here are exposed on the ground, and the houses are underground, and the roofs are made of stone slabs, which look like rocks from a distance.

"Why do you build the house like this? They like to live underground?" Is it some kind of race that doesn't like to see the light?

"The sea breeze is strong, and it is windproof."

"oh oh."

The main part of Haimen City is underground, and Jiang Rang took Feng Wangbei to "visit" underground.

This is a "stone city", and the buildings are all made of stone.

The people in the city look very distinctive.

After seeing the people here, Feng Wangbei felt that he knew why they lived underground, because they were so ugly - so ugly, it's better not to go to the ground to scare people.

Feng Wangbei thinks they are ugly, not because they only have one eye, or simply thinks they are ugly, the kind of ugliness with their faces smashed on the ground, and all of them are completely black.

Jiang Rang said: "People who come to the extreme north often mistakenly think that this is the ghost country."

Feng Xiao Maoqiu nodded again and again, it could understand.The people here look too much like ghosts.The ghosts in the Nether have strange shapes, and the people here are also strange.

Then Feng Wangbei remembered his current human form.

Also like a ghost.

well.sad.

Jiang Rang walked into a shop with jade bird carvings hanging in front of the door.

The shop owner is a man with a white beard. When he saw Jiang Rang, he smiled and said, "My lord, you are here. Where are you going this time?"

Jiang Rang said, "Zhongzhou."

"There will be a boat tomorrow, and I will leave you a room?"

"Ah."

"If your lord doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay here tonight?"

"it is good."

The owner of the white-bearded shop took Jiang Rang into the backyard, led him to an independent and elegant courtyard, and said, "My lord, do you think this place is suitable?"

"Very well, you have a heart."

After the shopkeeper left, Feng Wangbei asked Jiang Rang, "Does that shopkeeper know who you are?"

"I don't know." Jiang Rang said, "I helped him find his son."

"Oh." It turned out to be a benefactor, no wonder he was so polite.

"I guess he probably asked me again this time."

"Oh."

"However, I have something to ask him."

"Oh." What a complicated adult world.
