Chapter 15 The Land of Hardware
The Heaven-Gazing Beast walked much more smoothly than the Hideous Beast, but the speed was a little slower, but it only took a few hours to reach the hundred-mile journey. What Fang Zhong saw along the way became more and more desolate, and those unknown mountains even had the sound of ghosts crying wolves from time to time, and the people who listened to it in the dark night were terrified, but He Ying was not afraid. Fang Zhongxin said that she really wanted to find a hidden place to settle down, and her heart was worried, scared and a little excited, and she didn't know which one had the upper hand.
was thinking wildly, but Wangtianqian stopped. He Ying jumped lightly, and said after landing on the ground: "Come down, it shouldn't be far, the rest of the road is very difficult, let's walk over." Fang Zhong said: "This is Yonghu Mountain?" He Ying said: "I haven't arrived yet, Nayonghu Mountain is not tall, hiding in the mountains, surrounded by lakes, it is the most suitable place to live." Then he looked at Fang Zhong with a smile. Fang Zhong didn't dare to look at her, and looked at the sky. This beast was unseated, and after roaring a few times, its limbs shrank, its body became smaller, and it turned into a squirrel and jumped on He Ying's shoulders and squatted down, its two black eyes were wide open, and it looked very cute. []
The two of them jumped over a ridge, and there were countless ruins and broken walls on the flat land in front of them, but many of them were weathered, hidden among the weeds and trees, and they could not see their original appearance at all. Fang Zhong looked at the dilapidated Cheng Dù of this place, but he was afraid that it would be hundreds of years long, and said: "This place has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and there is no population at all. He Ying said: "It's not just a few hundred years, it's a thousand years, originally this was a city, and the people who lived here left and then abandoned it to this day." Fang Zhongqi said: "How do you know so clearly, could it be that you have been here a long time ago?" He Ying smiled: "If I don't come to investigate first, it would be bad if someone is already here, I haven't heard of men and women eloping and those who are not afraid of being known, and they must be sneaky." Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's definitely not the case, you must have another purpose for coming." He Yingqiao's face sank, and said: "If you don't believe it, you just go back, and I didn't force you to come." "Walk forward with the crumbs of the ground.
He Ying walked for a while, turned her head and looked back, and saw that Fang Zhong was still following, but her face was a little unhappy, and she smiled lightly: "I knew that you would come, otherwise there would be some wild beasts in this mountain that would come out and take me away, who would save me?" Fang Zhong said angrily: "In the past few years of Cihang Jingzhai, how many beasts are you afraid of?" He Ying said: "In order to save that Zheng Sect Master, I used up all the mana in my body, is it easy for you to use the six-character Great Ming Mantra?" If you hadn't brought him here, how could I have gone to Tsz Yun Temple, and how could I have no strength at all, so in the final analysis, it was you who did it, who would accompany you if you didn't let you accompany me? Fang Zhong said: "You can say it very well now." He Ying smiled: "You and I are not outsiders, if there is anything to say, if it is someone else, I will not say a word." Fang Zhong listened to her kindness, his heart warmed, and said, "Then you should tell me the truth, I don't believe it...... I don't believe ...... "I want to say that He Ying didn't come here to elope with her, but I'm embarrassed to say it bluntly." He Ying said with a smile: "When you get to the place, you will know, the city here was very famous in the past, called Jiuli City, but the people who live here are afraid of being killed, so they flee to other places." He Ying turned his head and talked about the city again. Fang Zhongdao: "Jiuli City? Who's going to kill the people here? He Ying said: "Of course it's Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor." ”
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is very famous, that is the ancestor of Yanhuang, of course Fang Zhong knows, and said strangely: "The person Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor wants to kill, it must be a heinous criminal." He Ying said as he walked: "Not really, it is only a few leading characters who do evil, and more people can't help themselves and just obey orders, even if they want to kill, they don't have to implicate innocents, and kill all the people on one side." There is a very famous person in this Jiuli City, and the sins he has done are too great, which provoked the anger of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the soldiers to raze this place to the ground. Fang Zhong suddenly realized: "There is no second person who can fight with Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor except Chi You, this Jiuli City is the city where Chi You was located at the beginning." He Ying said: "Exactly, this Jiuli City is also the name of the year, after the defeat of Chiyou Zhuolu, Jiuli City could not be defended, and the original people either attached themselves to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor or went away." After Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor came, he set a fire again, and the city was completely deserted. Later people revere Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and evil Chi You, even this city is too lazy to mention, and named after the mountain, called Jiulong Mountain, you see the surrounding mountains is, even the Qinglong Mountain where the Ciyun Temple is located is one of them. ”
Fang Zhong said with emotion: "This Jiuli City must have been densely populated and prosperous back then, but who knew that after a thousand years, it would just be a pile of rubble. "Thinking of the ruin of Luoshui City, the final result is roughly the same, and I can't help but feel a little sad. He Ying urged: "Hurry up, you must rush to Yonghu Mountain before dawn, otherwise you will come in vain." The two quickened their pace and walked deeper. After walking for a few miles, a small hill appeared in front of me, which was not surprising in the Jiulong Mountain, but this mountain was surrounded by water on three sides, leaving only one side to connect with the land, like an isolated island. He Yingxi said: "This is Yonghu Mountain." Fang Zhong said: "This mountain is very ordinary, it's not very surprising, why do you want to come here?" He Ying smiled mysteriously and pointed to the water surrounded by water on three sides: "This is not natural, but someone excavated it with ** force." If you look closely at the shape, there's something strange about it. Fang Zhong took a closer look, only then did he find that the water on three sides really had traces of artificial excavation, the front of Yonghu Mountain had a wide water surface, and the two sides gradually narrowed like two sharp horns, just to contain Yonghu Mountain, from the front, it was like a cow and beast embedded at the foot of Yonghu Mountain.
Fang Zhongdao: "It seems to be a bull's head." He Ying said: "It's Chiyou's head." This Yonghu Mountain was originally a mine, and it was the hardware here that Chiyou obtained to cast a heavenly artifact and dare to compete with Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Fang Zhong was surprised: "There is still such a legend in this mountain? He Ying said with a smile: "I also heard the master say that there is this place, whether it is a legend or not, you can know it when you look at it in the past." "After a few ups and downs, I have reached the lake. The lake was pitch black and bottomless. He Ying walked around, but she didn't notice anything unusual, and she didn't realize that she had reached the only side that didn't catch water. From here, you can go directly to the top of Yonghu Mountain. He Ying looked at it for a moment, picked up a stone from under his feet and checked it, and the other party said: "This stone is extremely heavy, it is not at the foot of the mountain, it must have rolled down from the mountain and came here." Let's go up and take a look. The two walked up the mountain for a while, Yonghu Mountain was not big, and when they reached the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye, there was a squeak everywhere, and countless foxes came out, staring at Fang Zhong and He Ying with bright eyes in the night. He Ying was startled, and when she saw that it was just a fox, she said: "No wonder it's called Yonghu Mountain, it turned out to be the fox's lair, ouch, these foxes don't know how long they stay here, if a few of them become jīng, don't lose you." Fang Zhong said: "Then it also depends on whether the fox jīng is beautiful or not, most of the time, how can you get me?" He Ying glanced at Fang Zhong with some disgust, and snorted lightly, "Who is mini?" "The foxes did not squat on the trees, but one by one they stood on the countless broken stone pillars, which were carved with strange monster faces, all of which were dominated by the heads of oxen. There is a cave under each stone pillar, some large and some small, I don't know if it is drilled by a fox or born with it, and a few caves are even bigger, although there are weeds and branches to cover it, it is enough to enter and exit. From time to time, there is a yīn wind coming out of those holes, which makes people dare not enter lightly.
He Ying lowered the curtain of the vajra hat again, and bent down to drill into a larger cave. The cave was extremely dark, and Fang Zhong was about to illuminate it with palm fire, when the sky-gazing mouth on He Ying's shoulder opened and spewed out a ball of flames, which immediately illuminated the cave clearly.
