Chapter 7 The Mountains of Shuzhong

Shuzhong, mountain road.

About 4,000 years ago, the Sichuan region entered the period of ancient legends, which was about the same as the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods in the Central Plains. At this time, the content of ancient history and legends is mainly about the lineage and activities of the ancient Sichuan kings, and the more famous ones are Dayu Daojiang, Du Yuhua Juan and so on. Although there are no historical records, archaeological excavations and oral legends at sites such as Sanxingdui, Jinsha, and the Twelve Bridges prove that by the Shang Dynasty at the latest, the Chengdu Plain had entered a slave society.

Around the Xia and Shang periods, the Shu tribe migrated from the area of present-day Mao County to the Chengdu Plain. After the "three generations of Shu kings", about the same as the Western Weekend period of the Central Plains, the Du Yu Dynasty was established, during which the capital of the Shu State was moved to Piyi (now Pi County), the Du Yu Dynasty adopted the monarchy hereditary system, and its power was strong, and its power basically covered the entire Sichuan Basin. Approximately equivalent to the early Spring and Autumn Period, Du Yu's Zen was located in the Shu Xiang Turtle Ling, which had the merit of water control, and the Turtle Ling established the Enlightened Dynasty.

The Enlightened Dynasty set its capital in Guangdu (now Shuangliu), at first the country was strong, about the 4th century B.C., the Enlightened Ninth began to imitate the Chinese ritual music system, and moved the capital from Guangdu to Chengdu, and there is the legend of Changhong Huabi. In the ninth year of King Huiwen of Qin (316 BC), Qin prepared for the unification of the world and attacked Shu from Shiniu Road.

After Qin conquered Shu, it set up two counties, Shu and Hanzhong. The Sichuan region gradually implemented the system of the Qin State and began to enter the feudal society. During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin to King Xiang of Qin Zhuang (227 BC ~ 247 BC), Li Bing served as the Taishou of Shu County, and took many heavy measures to develop Shu, such as building Dujiangyan and dredging the Jian and Pier rivers (now Nanhe and Jinjiang), making the Chengdu Plain increasingly rich and rich, providing an important material guarantee for Qin Shi Huang to unify China.

Yan Hong and his entourage, at this moment, are walking between this rugged mountain road, coming from Xianyang for thousands of miles. She was only a little bored, but the team of more than 100 people behind her slowed down the journey, passing through a dense jungle, but what appeared in front of her was a different scenery.

The country is beautiful and extraordinary. A waterfall towers into the sky in front of me, just across from me, and although it is far away, you can still hear the sound of water crashing against rocks and splashing in all directions. In front of the waterfall, there are also white cranes flying rings, which are like a fairyland against the colorful rainbow.

Looking from afar, the right side of the waterfall is an endless plank road, the people who enter Shu regardless of whether they are noble or low take this 'desperate situation' and enter, there are high-ranking officials and nobles between them, there are also rich businessmen and giants, and more are the simple mountain people of Shu.

Since the Qin State entered the Shu Kingdom from the Shiniu Road, and then Zhang Yi began to build the plank road, the plank road is thousands of miles, leading to the Shu Han Dynasty, so that the world is afraid of Qin.

When the plank road was formed at the beginning, there were four plank roads through Shu, including Jialing Old Road, Bao Slope Road, Tanluo Road and Meridian Road. Among them, the slope is more than 250 kilometers long, and the road surface is 3 to 5 meters wide. The plank road hovers between the mountains and valleys, and different engineering and technical measures are adopted according to local conditions, or the mountain is dug as a road, or the bridge is built to cross the water, or the wooden road is built by the mountain and cliff to support the wooden pillar on the dangerous rock and deep ravine, which shows the excellent technical ability to adapt to the very complex terrain conditions in the road construction project. The plank road is the traffic artery between Sichuan and Shaanxi, which has been built repeatedly in successive dynasties, and the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State have entered this poor mountain and bad water.

With his own hard work, this originally sparsely populated barren land has been turned into a country of abundance, and Yan Hong feels admired every time he thinks about it.

"Lord Night Emperor, it's getting late, do you want to camp on the spot?"

A respectful inquiry pulled Yan Hong back from his endless thoughts, and after looking at the sky, he realized that unconsciously, the beautiful sunset rose again, reflecting a sea of clouds.

"How's it going today?" Yan Hongxin grabbed Ma Zhuang with his hand and asked.

On one side, the face of the Yin and Yang family disciple froze, and he replied, "Lord Qiqi Night Emperor, there is still no news today. ”

The reins of the horse in Yan Hong's hand unconsciously tightened, and his brows furrowed deeply again, Yan Hong's question was exactly what Donghuang Taiyi said about the medicine [Xuanxuan Purple Lingzhi].

According to the Eastern Emperor, Master Xiaomeng, the head of the Taoist Tianzong, accidentally got a [Xuanxuan Purple Lingzhi] in the year of its establishment, so that his skills advanced by leaps and bounds, so as to win the position of the head of the Taoist Tianzong in one fell swoop.

【Xuanxuan Purple Ganoderma lucidum】Miracle delicate in childhood, a little careless will wither, only in the world today is unique to Shu, the four seasons in Shu do not change much, the climate is mild and humid, there is more rain and dew between the mountains and forests, and the matter of Ganoderma lucidum grows.

【Xuanxuan Purple Ganoderma lucidum】Under normal circumstances, it grows in the depths of the valley with dense clouds, and becomes white when it is young, and turns pale green after ten years, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the surrounding mountains, which is also a kind of self-protection to prevent the seedlings from being damaged by people and animals.

Subsequently, the color of [Xuanxuan Purple Ganoderma lucidum] gradually deepened, and when it was fifty years old, it was dark green all over the body, like an ordinary plant and tree, and when it was sixty years old, the color of Ganoderma lucidum began to transform and turn into light red, which was more prolonged, starting from the root and slowly changing little by little.

When it is one hundred and fifty years old, it will turn into a whole body of crimson, until this moment [Xuanxuan Purple Lingzhi] is used in medicine at this moment, but when it comes to the real best, it will be waiting for fifty years, waiting for two hundred years, the top leaves of Ganoderma lucidum will turn into a crystal clear purple, and then, the skin of Ganoderma lucidum will turn red, and a little delicate meridians can be seen at a glance naturally revealed, turning into a clear dark purple, which is the real best [Xuanxuan Purple Lingzhi].

However, all things have their own fixed number of life and death, and after the [Xuanxuan Purple Ganoderma lucidum] matures for two hundred years, it can survive for another hundred years, that is, the life span of Ganoderma lucidum can reach three hundred years.

Before leaving, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi had instructed that if it is a seedling of less than 50 years, it is useless to take it, and a hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum needs to be brought back to the Yin and Yang family to be carefully cultivated for three years before it can be used as medicine for Shao Si Ming to take, if it is 150 years, it can be directly ground into powder and taken without being supplemented with other medicines, if it is encountered in two hundred years, it only needs to be taken in half.

Because at this time, the spiritual power contained in the Ganoderma lucidum is extremely huge, and excessive consumption is afraid that it will damage the muscles and veins, since then the year of Ganoderma lucidum has not increased for ten years, and the amount will be reduced by one point, and so on.

"Lord Qiqi Night Emperor, the camp tent has been set up!" A disciple of the Yin and Yang family stepped forward to report.

This time to come to Shuzhong, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi for the convenience of acting, granted Yan Hong cheap authority, the team of more than 100 people is Yan Hong selected the elite disciples of the Yin and Yang family, turned the horse's head, came to a delicate carriage Yan Hong said, "It's getting late today, it seems that you are going to be wronged to sleep in the mountains." ”

With a light hand, the curtain with the golden bell was raised, and then a soft response came.

The lotus step moved slightly, the purple leather boots stepped out, and a slender jade hand was on Yan Hong's shoulder, and then a graceful girl jumped out, it was Shao Si Ming.
