Of course now, the so-called barbarians. It just refers to the Changhu tribe in Beidahuang.
Yu Zai believed that since the three tribes of Kunlun were now suppressed, they could take advantage of this opportunity. Although they had scattered people, it was not enough. He suggested that the best way was to raise horses in the farming community and go out to rob them every once in a while. A wave of them makes them unable to get up, and that's enough.
In the end, these people can no longer stand the harassment, so they will gather in the north, escape the search range of the farming and settled society, and stay near the Beihai for thirty to fifty years to accumulate a wave of strength before coming back. According to the situation of the feudal dynasty, it should Without external pressure, internal fighting will begin, and then decay after thirty to fifty years, which happens to be the period of strength of the nomadic area.
But now, in the ancient times, we still have to point out all the technological points that are not complete. The leaders of the Central Plains are still very young. After thirty-five years, Yu Zai estimates that the Central Plains may really have machine guns. .
You have your Desert Cavalry, and I have my Maxim machine gun. If you don't accept one-on-one in the middle, let's see if your horse is faster or my bullets are faster.
The map of the entire world has not yet been unified, and everyone still needs to work hard!
.........
The construction of water conservancy has also begun. After all, after the rain masters are trained, when these rain masters are on duty, water conservancy facilities can be put into use in large quantities. The south-to-north water diversion is indeed somewhat difficult, but diverting water from the Yellow River is not a big problem!
What's more, there is a Daotang River near the West Sea.
Of course, the current prosperity and stability of the Western Wasteland is due to the blessing of the ancient rainy season. When the dry season comes, many rivers will disappear, but that time will be a long time ago.
Yu Zai said that it was necessary to dredge Jishi Mountain and break the mountain, and the source of the river would be controlled.
So everyone set out on the road, heading farther west.
In fact, the gods in Kunlun don't know the way to Jishi Mountain. After all, they have not walked out of the Tianmen for thousands of years.
The sea has turned into mulberry fields several times. Even though this sentence is not particularly applicable to the Western Wasteland, the Kunlun Gods have not left their homes for thousands of years. Their deep stay at home has blurred their memories, making it difficult to find them. The exact path to Jishi Mountain.
What's more, they didn't pay special attention to Jishi Mountain in the past.
The people and gods of that era did not have the concepts of geography and water control. When earthquakes and floods occurred, it was difficult to know the cause, and they could only be incompetent and furious. The people and gods of that era were able to know the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, which was already extraordinary. Something happened.
In fact, Yu Zai has never been there, so he is not sure whether the Jishi Mountain in later generations is the same as the Jishi Mountain in this era.
After all, there are always fallacies in legends, and the geography of the mythical era is always inconsistent with that of later generations.
People from the Western Wilderness such as Queen Mother of the West and Chong Li also did not know the location of Jishi Mountain and could not help. They only knew that it was at the lower reaches of Xingxiu Sea and at a key node of the river.
Then, we can only go in the opposite direction along the bank of the river.
On this trip, there were not many people coming, but it was still like a long queue.
The neighing of a large number of horses echoed throughout the world. People put on thick clothes and brought enough logistical support tools. Everyone did not know where they were going, but they all knew that as long as they walked along the river to the west, You can definitely see that mountain.
"Where the great floods of the past originated."
"Downstream of Buzhou Mountain guarded by two yellow beasts, in the far distance of Xingxiu Sea..."
“The accumulated rocks and mountains will split, and the floods in the great rivers will be eliminated.”
People talked to each other, taking one step at a time with the idea that this time they would be able to calm down the flood and benefit future generations.
Trampled in the mud, in the gravel, on the wilderness, under the mountains.
These people have traveled thousands of miles and seen thousands of miles of wind and frost. When spring finally arrives, the ice and snow have already melted. In front of them, the north wind has disappeared without a trace, and the spring breeze has blown from the east, pushing their Shoulder.
It seemed to be urging them, saying hurry up, if you keep moving forward, you will be there soon.
"Xuanming has gone far away, Jumang has arrived!"
Xuan Ming, the god who represented winter, disappeared, and Gou Mang, the wood god who represented spring, manifested his powerful spirit on this land.
Winter gradually goes away and the ice and snow melt, even the desolate quicksand and weak water, the majestic Kunlun will eventually usher in the warm spring breeze.
On Kunlun, after a pool of ice and snow gradually melted, and after about two changes of sun, moon, day and night, a small seed took root and sprouted, and after many rotations of stars and the sun, this small seed finally became Beautiful and pure yellow flowers bloom.
From this moment on, this surging breath of life filled the originally silent and quiet world.
This is the greatest power and the most beautiful scenery in the world.
In the Great Western Wilderness, the mountains are stacked on top of each other. The rays of the sun twist and turn through the gaps in the mountains, and then suddenly burst out in the countryside. A faint golden color sprinkles the sky and the earth, and falls on the grass and valleys that are struggling to grow.
In this vast land, there are beautiful scenery everywhere.
The water of the river is roaring!
The long, cold winter is over, with clear skies and thunder.
The river began to slowly swell, and the water in the river obviously rose. The moisture between the sky and the earth gradually increased. When spring came, it was a good time for flooding again.
Yuzai gasped for breath, after walking such a long distance, when he raised his head again, a majestic giant mountain appeared at the end of the thousands of miles of wilderness. It seemed to have a disconnected relationship with Kunlun in the distance, and seemed to be independent in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. , behind it is a majestic plateau, and the Xingxiu Sea is firmly blocked by it, like a big hand that cuts down horizontally, cutting off the wide road between the sky and the earth, connecting the east and the west!
The great river gushes out from that mountain, from a tall and narrow place, and rushes out happily, singing a majestic song all the way to the east.
The places it winds through will be nurtured, and humans and all living beings will thrive on these fertile lands!
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Three Classics of the West": Three hundred miles to the west is called the Mountain of Accumulated Stones, with a stone gate at its base and a river flowing to the west. It’s a mountain, and everything exists there!
In front of Jishi Mountain, a large area of land is bulging and sinking, like strange earthen bags. There are pits in the earthen bags, which are surrounded by small pools dotted one after another. This is a terrible swamp. It was formed a long time ago!
Kuafu chased the sun and reached the west of Jishi Mountain, but he still didn't see where the sun set.
What the world calls Yu Yuan, the ancient Congling Mountains, is the Pamir Plateau, which is still thousands of miles away from here.
"That's Jishi Mountain!"
"This is a mountain range, not a single mountain."
"Look, that's Daze!"
"The river is blocked, it's the same situation as Longmen!"
Shan's chest, full of water, cannot swallow and overflows.
But soon, someone discovered something was wrong.
Everyone is approaching, but Jishi Daze is really too big. The large swamp formed a long time ago makes the place full of dangers. Once you step into the quagmire below, it will be like falling into a bottomless pit.
"Look, there are actually pictures on Jishi Mountain!"
Someone pointed to the tall and majestic mountain and shouted in surprise. It turned out that there was a huge rock cliff painting next to a peak of Jishi Mountain!
What era is this offering to the ancient gods?
"I've never seen it before, not even me. It's really amazing."
God Kunlun was among the crowd when he saw the huge ancient rock paintings painted like miraculous craftsmanship. He was also very surprised. At least in his knowledge, there should not be anyone here before the Hexiong clan. After the Hexiong clan, there should be no one here. Even Suirenshi has never been here.
Huangdi also believed that the country of the Huaxu family was in this place, where the people were averagely wealthy but not old and immortal, and had only joy and life but no pain and death.
Until the battle between Zhuanxu and Kanghui, they fought all the way to Buzhou Mountain. At the source of the Yellow River, they may or may not have passed through this place... After all, the river is a winding curve, not a straight line. The location of Jishi Mountain, It is indeed in front of Buzhou Mountain, but the geographical location of the two is hundreds of miles apart.
"It looks like a rock painting on Helan Mountain..."
“There’s something wrong with this mountain!”
As a geographer, Yu Zai was keenly aware of the anomalies in this mountain. Not to mention who painted the huge rock cliff paintings in what era, perhaps they were self-portraits of some flying god...
The bigger anomaly lies in the situation around the mountain. In addition to small earth bags, there are also many seemingly disordered, but actually very orderly, huge stones scattered here.
The place marked by these stones is a place that has not been invaded by the river and belongs to a safe area in the swamp. There are some long swamp grooves between the stones, which seem to have existed a long time ago.
And from the trajectory of the river in the swamp and the huge river bed, it can be seen that these stones are marking the movement of the river!
In other words, I don't know how long ago, there were some people living here. They used huge stones to delineate their living areas to ensure that they would not be affected by the sway of the river.
And this Jishi Mountain suddenly appears in the middle of the river. Look at those huge stones...
Yuzai came to a higher place and saw the entire layout.
These huge stones and the planned area seemed to match the Jishi Mountain in the center. This Jishi Mountain seemed familiar to Yu Zai...and he quickly saw something!
"The Great Flood Control City and the Aqueduct!"
This is an astonishing discovery. The state of Jishi Mountain does not appear to be naturally occurring, but rather seems to have been forcibly placed here!
"What did you say? How is this possible?"
"Even if dozens of great witches use the magic of moving mountains, they still can't move such a huge mountain!"
"This is a mountain range, not a hill!"
"If what you say is true, then who placed these huge stones here, and how do you know their age?"
The leaders who followed Yu Zai asked various questions. They looked at the Jishi Mountain. Perhaps they were the first guests to visit this place in thousands of years since some of the "tribes" here disappeared.
“Excavating the swamp, from the degree of change in the swamp, we can roughly infer the period when the land changed, and thus roughly infer the age of these boulders.”
"After all, in such a large swamp, if it were now, we would definitely not be able to live here."
"But we came here to open Jishi Mountain and dredge the river, so studying its formation time is unnecessary behavior."
The Jishi Mountain in the distance is obscured by clouds and mist. The water vapor from the river raises a large number of white clouds. The sun shines on the black mountain, making it more majestic and vast, like a silent ancient god who has been sleeping for thousands of years.
Ruzai's eyes were blurred, and in his memory, some academic reports he had seen a long time ago were reorganized at this time.
"There is indeed such a legend... Jishi Mountain is actually a man-made water control project."
“A long, long time ago, people didn’t know how to control water, so they chose the simplest method, piling up a large amount of earth and rocks to block the river channel and make the outlet of the river narrow... The ancients Living by the water, he piled stones on the river bank to prevent the river from flooding. The effect was very good. The piled up soil and boulders were as strong as a mountain, so it was called Jishi Mountain."
"Those boulders are an alarm to detect the swing amplitude of the river. Once the swing amplitude of the river exceeds the boulders, then people will start to migrate and cannot live near the boulders."
"That narrow stone door also has traces of man-made chiseling!"
In the ancient times, although the ancestors made some foolish actions to block water in the eyes of later generations, in their understanding of that era, this was the best management method.
When water comes, soil will cover it, isn’t it right?
So they built this mountain, this magnificent mountain of earth and stone!
The accumulated soil forms a mountain, and the wind and rain stir up the mountain!
When water accumulates and forms a deep abyss, dragons emerge!
"A great miracle, if it did not stand upstream of the river, I should have preserved it..."
Yuzai called the historian to take photos and collect evidence. At the same time, he took a pen and paper to record this great miracle that was about to disappear completely from heaven and earth!
"It's a pity that no matter how great a miracle is, if it hinders the survival of future generations, it must be destroyed. Each era has different opinions. The ancient ancestors will not come back again, and we will follow in your footsteps. Complete your unfinished business!"
.........
"From the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, we traveled five hundred miles westward along the river to reach Jishi Mountain.
The ancients built this mountain with huge boulders to prevent floods from the river. There are many flowers, plants and trees on the mountain, and there are metal minerals and huge rocks everywhere. If you climb up the mountain and look to the west, you can see the Xingxiu Sea on the plateau.
There are no wild animals in the mountains. There are swamps that swallow people everywhere at the foot of the mountains. The puddles and meadows in the swamps are dotted like black and white chess pieces on a chessboard. There are stone paintings on the cliffs of the mountains to worship ancient gods.
The big river passes through Jishi Mountain and accumulates outside the narrow stone gate.
In the 79th year of the Tang Dynasty, Baikui in the Central Plains began to build mountains, guide the river to the stone gate, dredge the silt, and connect it to the sea! "
