It is sad to leave people under the red water, and the years are beginning to change, with a bit of joy and a bit of worry.
Mengchang didn't know what happened after he and his concubine fell into Chishui that day. He just felt that his new ability was a bit inexplicably sad.
The Vulcan's ascension obviously divided the task into five equal parts. I don't know whether he will be asked to find the afterglow of the Zhu Rong clan in the future, or to plunder five parts of the fire god's divine power.
But at this moment, with this god-like skill in hand, Meng Chang felt a sense of heroism in his heart, and the urge to go to the sky to find the last battle with the candle dragon.
Wave is the way to death, and expansion is the original sin of decline. The more powerful you gain, the more cautious you must be.
Meng Chang kept suppressing the unrealistic restlessness in his heart. There was no difference between seeking bad luck for Zhulong and seeking death, but...
Zhu Yan!
Hey, wait patiently, little monkey. Meng is not too narrow-minded. Now that he has the blessing of divine power, sooner or later, he will teach that naughty monkey a lesson. He will understand what it means to be thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river. Don’t bully young people. poverty.
The jade unicorn took back the beast bag and lay quietly in the small universe to nurse its injuries. The bones of the unicorn family are extremely hard. If it weren't for the red sperm, it would be difficult to catch a wild unicorn by yourself. , it will only be the younger ones who are older, the older ones who are older, and even older ones.
Fortunately, Ji Youyu didn't have much of a problem. He was protected by Xuanwu's real body. He just had a dislocated arm. He could easily fix it with a bone-setting technique. After a few days of rest, he would be fine.
Therefore, the father and daughter could only walk the rest of the way with their feet.
Along the way, Meng Chang was a little exhausted, but Ji Youyu was indeed a little tiger cub born in the wilderness. As long as he squinted for a while, he would wake up like a chirping lark, talking non-stop in Meng Chang's ears. There are endless stories, a small dream, she can tell it for ten miles without stopping.
It's great, and I'm not lonely at all. No wonder my father's colleagues in later generations like to nag him that having a daughter is better than having a son. Having a caring little cotton-padded jacket can make people feel different warmth. It's just a pity. He has been a man for two lifetimes and is currently single.
When passing through Rongfu Mountain, Mengchang deliberately walked around the mountain, hoping to find the corpse of King Rong Xuan described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Unfortunately, he searched through the mountains and peaks and could not find any trace of it.
"It's strange. According to the records in the Book of Mountains and Seas, it should be here. Why can't I find it?"
Rongfu Mountain was originally the birthplace of Quanrong, and what is interesting is that, as mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a mountain named Rongfu Mountain, which flows along the river. Some people call him Quanrong. Huangdi gave birth to Miaolong, Miaolong gave birth to Rongwu, Rongwu gave birth to Mingming, and Mingming gave birth to white dogs. White dogs are male and female, and they are dogs and soldiers.
What do you mean? Quanrong's ancestors were also pure descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and could be considered a member of the Zhuxia. However, he was kicked out of the chat group of descendants of Yan and Huang for unknown reasons.
The so-called corpse of King Rongxuan does not mean that the corpse transformed by King Quanrong after his death is essentially different from the corpse of Xia Geng.
For meat, there is a red beast, horse-like and headless, which is called the corpse of King Xuan of Rong. This beast, like the White Wolf God, is the god who protects the dog warriors.
After searching for two hours, Mengchang had to give up the search and continued to move forward dejectedly. But he didn't know that as soon as he took off, the corpse of King Rongxuan emerged from the mountain, and he beat his chest with lingering fear. Breathing heavily.
It's too scary. Who is this powerful person who deliberately pretends to be a young man and is here to play with him and show his weakness to the enemy? A few days ago, such a big and powerful concubine like Chishui was "beaten to death" by this boy. If he really wanted to catch her, she might not be able to survive three moves and would have to go back to accompany the white wolf.
Not to mention the corpse of King Rongxuan who had escaped death at this time, Mengchang and Ji Youyu, who had been hurrying and hurrying all the way, finally walked out of the endless grassland and arrived at the end of the north of the wilderness, where the powerful The Tianshen Mountain guarded by the Yi tribe.
Qiong Chan said before that Dayi's tribe had a way for him to go to Zhongshan and leave the world of mountains and seas.
He really wanted to stay here and be a ruthless brick-moving machine until the end of the world and unlock a magical power before leaving. However, although time in the world of mountains and seas is fixed to the outside world, he is still worried about the time of innovation in his heart. thing.
He also thought that after surrendering Yuan Futong, he would accumulate grain and build high walls in Mengdi to make the Yin Shang great again.
Furthermore, Qiong Chan and Xiang Yao whom he met along the way were all urging him to go to Jiuyou Land to find Houtu as soon as possible, and not to use too much power of his own blood. He also kept the crazy woman in his heart. Hey, the matter of divinity has always made him feel in his heart that his bloodline is both a gift from his ancestors and an uncertain time bomb. If he doesn't understand these things, how can he calm down and brush monsters, which makes him feel uneasy.
At the foot of Tianshen Mountain, with the arrival of Meng Chang, countless huge woods on the originally motionless mountain began to rustle automatically without wind.
Hundreds of Dayi tribesmen with various colorful feathers on their heads built a simple Guancheng that combined earth and wood at the entrance to the mountain. This was also the first "modern" building that Mengchang saw after coming to Shanhai. , there are already some prototypes of the great passes of later generations. It is not that easy to build such a pass.
Just like drilling wood to make fire, many seemingly simple and easy-to-understand principles are often not as easy as theoretically in the hands of the executor.
"Stop whoever comes, who can break through?" A young strong man with three colorful feathers on his head came forward with his tribe and stopped the father and daughter.
A strange young man with an unknown identity, and a girl with him, could walk around in the dangerous wilderness. He looked weird no matter how he looked at it. The strong man did not dare to look down upon him, so he kept his tribe on guard from a long distance away.
Mengchang was a little thoughtful. He had many identities, and he didn't know which one would be better to introduce. If he made another joke like when he met Youli and the other three people, the Dayi tribesmen in front of him, whose arrows on their bows and arrows were glowing with a faint white light, would not be the same. So easy to deal with.
"Hmph! I am Ji Youyu, the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu and the grandson of Qiongchan, the head of the Gaoyang clan. This is my father, Ji Mengchang of the Gaoyang clan. Please get out of the way quickly and invite my father into the mountain to receive you. "
Mengchang looked at Ji Youyu in surprise and did not react for a moment. He saw Ji Youyu standing in front of everyone with a proud face, patted his flat chest, and said fiercely: "Father, please stay back. Let Youyu call the door for you, lest you lose your high position in vain and make people doubt the noble bloodline of my Gaoyang family."
Good guy, I just told the story of a monkey drifting west, and this little guy imitated Bajie's pride in introducing his senior brother, and made the simulation vivid and vivid. It's very good, he is a born good actor.
The people of the Dayi tribe were a little surprised. The strong man at the head did not dare to let them go easily. Instead, he bowed and his tone was much calmer.
"Dear guest, please wait a moment. Let me call the leader."
After saying that, he asked the others to guard the pass and ran all the way up the mountain.
Mengchang held down the unconvinced Ji Youyu and tapped it gently: "It's good not to learn, but to learn these weird things."
Ji Youyu pursed his lips and felt a little aggrieved: "But, father, Youyu also wants to help you. I see that my father is like this every time he meets guests. I asked Uncle Youli and the others to roll their names and say It is more majestic this way and will not degrade the majesty of our Gaoyang clan."
"Moreover, even if Dayi comes, he is still a subject of my great-grandfather. I am the sect and he is a subordinate. Why can't we act in a high-profile manner?"
The little girl was smart and often drew inferences from one case to another. Meng Chang didn't say much and repeatedly told him that when he saw the leader of the Dayi clan later, he would rather be a little bit obedient than deliberately annoy others.
Emperor Zhuanxu is Emperor Zhuanxu, and it has been passed down for three generations. What else is there to talk about as chief and deputy? Even if he is Emperor Xin, doesn't he have to be respectful to Grand Master Wen?
When children are still young, it is the time when they need education. Such unhealthy tendencies must not be allowed to grow.
Ji Youyu's eyes were rolling, and he didn't know if he listened to what he said, or what he was thinking at the moment.
Not long after, an old man in white robes from Tianshen Mountain walked down slowly. When he reached Mengchang's side, he saluted politely and said.
"The general seems to have arrived a little late, but did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
"?"
Is it possible that this person can feel the changes around him even when he is still?
"On the way, I was intercepted by a concubine, had a big fight, and injured my mount. My pace became much slower along the way."
After hearing this, the old man in white looked a little sad. His eyes that had been closed opened and his penetrating eyes focused on Meng Chang.
"Oh, it seems that she can't let go of the past after all. What a pity, what a pity!"
After the old man opened his eyes, Meng Chang discovered that there were actually two pupils in his eyes.
A numb tremor suddenly surged into his heart. Without saying a word, Meng Chang pressed Ji Youyu's little head next to him and bowed.
"Baron Meng of the Great Shang Northern Territory, Meng Chang, pays homage to Emperor Shun!"
Oh my god, in ancient times, Meng Chang had only heard of one person with double pupils, and that was Emperor Shun. Seeing such obvious features at this time, he didn't know that he was lucky enough to meet a living statue. The "saint" of the human race.
The double-eyed old man was not very happy. Instead, he pretended to be unhappy and asked in a dull voice.
"Shun was born hundreds of years after me. I cannot be called the Five Emperors."
"Then who are you, ancestor?"
"I Cangjie, could it be that future generations have forgotten me?"
Mengchang was stunned, and hurriedly wiped his eyes and looked carefully. He saw that there was a pair of closed eyes above the old man's eyes. Strictly speaking, they should have two pupils and four eyes.
This surprise is no better than meeting Emperor Shun!
The story recorded in primary school Chinese textbooks, Cangjie coined characters, the ancestor of civilization!
The meaning of the word "cang" is that one person is above the king and the next is the king.
This is a person that even the Yellow Emperor appreciates and respects very much.
"How dare future generations forget your achievements? Your achievements are not inferior to those of the emperors and ancestors. In future generations, we will all respect you as the ancestor of civilization. Even children of a few years old have grown up listening to your stories."
"Hahaha"
Cangjie laughed happily. No matter how good the praise was given to him, it was not as important as boasting about the words he had spent his whole life working on.
"You didn't lie. I'm glad that there will be people in future generations who remember my existence and my words."
"Come, look at these words for a moment and let me see how much you can recognize."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cangjie took out a wooden board from his arms and showed his hard work expectantly.
There were some crooked words written on it with dark toner, like a heavenly book. Meng Chang looked a little confused. He could barely recognize the characters by their shapes. He could recognize a Japanese character, but he couldn't make out some other symbols.
Double pupils can see people's hearts. Seeing this young man who speaks sincerely is in a dilemma, the thoughtful old man can't help but sigh and stare at the sky with a sense of loss, seeming a little lonely.
"After all, have people forgotten my words? Alas~"
Meng Chang's face turned red with embarrassment. He couldn't say that he knew all the simplified Chinese characters, but he was still very confident in most of the commonly used characters. Even the traditional Chinese characters could be recognized in front of his eyes. In the era of Dashang, Zhongdingwen, inscriptions Can barely write.
It's just that he really couldn't recognize the words on the wooden board. It was really abstract and he felt like an illiterate...
"Huh? Father, I know these words." Ji Youyu stood on tiptoes and looked at the board, pointing to the words on it.
"This is a short story. The sun, moon and stars, Huang Yan allied to compete for the throne, and the nine states were unified."
Listening to Youyu's retelling, there was light in Cangjie's eyes again. A pair of big hands kept rubbing his cute little head, with a smile on his face. The divine light in his upper eyes flickered, and he kept scanning the divinity in Youyu's body. .
"Eh? Are you a descendant of the Yellow Emperor? Oh, yes, just now Yu Xiang said that a nobleman from the Gaoyang family came to visit. You must be the little girl that Qiong Chan brought into Shanhai."
At this moment, Ji Youyu was not skinny at all. He knelt on the ground obediently and kowtowed: "Gao Yang clan, Ji Youyu, pay homage to the ancestor of civilization."
"Okay, okay, okay, we are all a family, the little doll is so polite, hahaha."
The old man was rarely happy, and the surrounding soldiers also lowered their guard and looked at the two uninvited guests with grateful expressions.
"Ancestor Cangjie, it's not that the younger generation can't recognize your writing. It's just that the later generations where the younger generation lived have innovated the writing several times to make it easier to write and improve. Therefore, your writing at that time is indeed very different."
After speaking, Mengchang picked up a branch and scrawled on the ground the different changes from hieroglyphics to oracle bone inscriptions, then to bell and tripod inscriptions, traditional Chinese characters, and simplified Chinese characters.
There may be seal script and other fonts in history, but unfortunately these are not something he can understand.
Cangjie smiled. It would be better if it was not lost. It would be better for future generations to innovate. It would be better to stand still and not think about making progress. Looking at the various changing words, Cangjie smiled and said nothing.
After trying to figure out all the words, he looked up and saw Meng Chang with piercing eyes. Cangjie smiled and said, "What? I have a pair of double eyes that can see through human nature and distinguish right from wrong, good and evil. Do you want it?"
Mengchang subconsciously wanted to nod, but when he thought of the disappearance of his concubine, he immediately stopped thinking and shook his head desperately.
My magical powers are what I want, and my ancestors are what I want to protect. If I cannot have both, I will give up my magical powers to protect my ancestors.
"Don't worry, Qiongchan must have a purpose for asking you to come here specially, and he won't let you go in vain."
"This mountain is called Tianshen Mountain. Do you see the platform at the top of the mountain?"
This mountain is not very high, just a hundred meters high. There are winding and connected mountains in the middle. It may take dozens of miles to reach the top. Meng Changrao has good eyesight. You can't even see it from such a long distance.
Cangjie slapped his head and kept begging for mercy. He was old, but he ignored that others didn't have the ability to see a thousand miles at a glance.
"There is a platform on the top of this mountain, which was set up by Dayi to sharpen the people's character and sharpen their blood. There are two gods and ferocious beasts shot by Dayi inside. If you can pass After you go through the trial and gain the power of the divine beast, I will give you the Heavenly Vision and the Heart-Guarding Eye, how about it?"
Mengchang swallowed, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. This is simply a wave of fat. With two clairvoyance skills, and two or more new skills can be obtained through the trial, can there be a more cost-effective deal?
"May I ask ancestor Cangjie, what are these two ferocious beasts?"
"It's not difficult, it's just a test platform. Dayi built four of these test platforms at that time, and this is just one of them."
"..."
Well, it is indeed not difficult. After all, the person who did this is called Dayi. How many Dayi were there in ancient times?
PS: Dayi didn’t mention much in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The 猰貐 and gale here, including the two trial platforms in the future, are not drawn from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but from Huainanzi.
In addition, I would like to add that since the beginning of Tianwen, people often confuse Dayi and Hou Yi. This is wrong. Yi was a person in the period of the Five Emperors, and Hou Yi was a rebellious minister of the Xia Dynasty. Of course, Hou Yi was also very powerful.
