"Then, there's a problem. Regardless of whether the body is patched up by Du Lu, the last emperor of Shu, or the witch emperor Chi You, we can only say that it is extremely strange to patch up the body. Maybe we can check the information, just in case we can find something from it. Woolen cloth?"
Wu Xuanyu also understood what Song Siyuan meant and nodded to them: "The historical records of the Witch God Clan are all in the Gao Mediator Temple in Chenggao. After we go back, I will take you to the temple to check the information. .”
Wu Xuanyu pointed to the mountain stairs near the north gate and said: "Look, after the north gate tower, there will be a white-gray stone road paved downwards. You can use this mountain road to walk down, and then go back when you reach the foot of the mountain. After wading through the lake and forest, even if you enter the Witch God Canyon, the other gates are just decorations, only the north gate is the most important, and it is guarded by armed guards all year round."
Between Wushen Forest and Wuhuang Mountain is a large swamp river beach. In the past, people used to take a detour from Wuhuang Mountain. After the corridor in the swamp was closed, it became difficult for these people to go back, just like they walked over. There are thousands of meters of covered bridges. Without the covered bridges, ordinary people would no longer want to come to Wushen Canyon.
However, it is not impossible to walk across. If you climb over the hills and then cross the river bank through the canyon between the pillar peaks, you can still reach the canyon. This method of walking requires tens of millions of times more difficulty than the corridor bridge. If there wasn't something to save people in Wushen Gorge, ordinary Gu people wouldn't be willing to leave easily.
As long as the covered bridge is pulled up and the promenade on the swamp river beach is guarded, most of the people will be kept out of Wushen Gorge. If there are people who go to Wushen Gorge despite all the hardships, there must be some conspiracy.
Yue Guanchao followed Wu Xuanyu's introduction and observed the northern gatehouse. In the forest in front of the gatehouse, a spacious horse path was dug out. The white stone paved road meandered down the mountain. Further down, the mountain road was already as thin as a silk thread, wrapped in rich greenery. There is only a faint mist left.
The forest of Wushen Gorge spreads for several miles outside the valley. As the vegetation gradually becomes sparse, and when the velvet shrubs reach the end, they can already see the riverbank swamp, which is similar to the canyon and lake they saw. The water surface is vast and as big as the ocean. Tidal flats and lakes block almost all the mountains from Wuhuang Mountain into the canyon.
The only difference from the lakes in the south is that this lake has many tidal flats, so the river water is not surging violently, and there are no strange waves like the lakes in the south. The lake is calm and open like a pool of stagnant water, and can only be seen when the breeze blows. Only when the algae drifted underwater did we realize that there were undercurrents under the water. Most of the time, it was like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight.
Since it is said to be a swamp, it cannot be all lake water. In addition to flaky tidal flats, the lake is also dotted with thousands of mottled floating islands, just like green snails distributed irregularly, with rippling reeds and lush aquatic plants. Some floating islands are even It will be blown by the wind and move freely in the lake.
What's more, there are water forests spreading all over the floating island. Most of these century-old trees have lush branches and canopies, and the greenery accumulates on the tidal flats, dividing the lake into water forests, which is particularly magical.
In the tidal flat, there is a 1,000-meter-long corridor that builds the lake, from the exit of Wuhuang Mountain to the forest on the north bank. It looks like a long dragon full of towers, connecting the two sides of the river, and armed guards can be seen patrolling the guard area.
Song Siyuan looked at this strange tidal flat and explained: "This kind of river beach swamp basically developed from the river channel. As the water flow gradually became scarcer, the former lake began to accumulate sediment. After thousands of years, it will form in the river channel." Tidal flats are formed on both sides of the bank. At this time, if the water flow continues to increase, after the water is restored, the water surface will be washed by the accumulated water and form flaky tidal flats. Over time, it will become a mixture of lakes and tidal flats."
"Indeed, when our ancestors came to the witchland, most of them lived in hilly areas. After generations of water witches, they controlled the floods and dug pools in the north. At the same time, they built rivers and dug canals in the mountains. Only then did the rivers flow into the lakes in the north and south. After that, the tidal flats gradually gradually It emerged from the water to form a plain, and it took nearly a thousand years to form what we see now."
When Wu Xuanyu introduced her, Song Siyuan noticed the message in her words and asked again: "Did you live in the hilly areas before Wu Shen Kingdom?"
"Um."
The little witch nodded to everyone: "Indeed, this is the news I learned from the Gao Mediator Temple. Long before the demise of the Great Shu Witch Kingdom, the high priest of the Bashu Kingdom had already sent tribesmen to pioneer..."
Back then, when the Gu people came to the Witchland, it could be said that there was nothing here. At a glance, there were no rivers and mountains in Zeguo. The entire Witchland was almost all tidal flats. The tidal flats were so dense with five poisonous water bugs that there was no way to live in them. Only the ones in the north were The hills are like floating islands in the sea emerging from the water. The tribe originally planned to abandon this place.
The high priest said that this witchland is indeed a treasure land. As long as it is managed well, it can become a prosperous plain that can be used to open up wasteland for survival. It has even been divined that this is the last protected land of the witchland. Only then did the Gu people give up their doubts and start thinking about how to change the status quo. .
The situation here is indeed tricky. The terrain of Wuji is high in the south and low in the north. The water should flow from the south to the north. However, because the hills are high and block the water, the water accumulates in the plains and cannot be discharged. This is how Qianli Zeguo is formed. If you want to make the plains emerge from the water, then It can only control floods.
After that, generations of Gu people began to settle in the hilly areas of the north, building stilted buildings, traveling by boat to control floods, digging mountains and canyons in the hilly areas, diverting water into rivers, forming cofferdams into lakes, and digging canals. The lake then emerged from the water to form a beach.
When all the river networks are connected to the hills, water is directly discharged into the giant lakes in the north. The lakes that had already stopped flowing because of the hills were once again covered by the lake water to form tidal flats. At the same time, the dense river network also played a role in hydrophobicity. Since then, the lakes in the south have Regardless of whether the lake is flooded or released, it will be dredged into the hills through the river network, and then poured out through the canyon, without silting in the plains.
In fact, as the high priest said, the central lake was originally blocked by hills and could not release water. It was dammed here for thousands of years, and an unknown amount of fertile river mud was deposited. After the water was released, all the silt was deposited to form fertile soil, no matter it was Both dry fields and paddy fields can achieve three crops a year, with abundant fruits and plump ears.
At this point in time, it has reached the end of the Great Shu Witch Kingdom. By the time King Qin conquered the capital of Shu, most of the Witch God remnants had already entered the Witch Kingdom and relied on this fertile plain to survive. It can be said that without the prophecy of the high priest and a generation of If floods are managed on behalf of the shaman people, even if the shaman god remnant people really reach the shaman realm, they will be trapped by the ruined mountains and bad water, and will not be able to develop the shaman god remnant country.
Listening to Wu Xuanyu's words, Song Siyuan realized that the truth was indeed as magical as she said:
Back then, after the defeat of the Wu Shen Kingdom, the Gu tribe went to the southwest, the Shuisu tribe stayed in Yunmengze, eight hundred miles away, and the Shen tribe traveled far away to the mainland. In the Xianbei Mountains, soldiers from three countries fled in different directions, but they gradually merged and gathered together without realizing it.
Some people died, but not completely...
