Juluze, located in the Taihang Mountain River alluvial fan and the Yellow River old road junction depression, according to legend, one of the oldest clans, the Jiuli tribe is said to have settled here, therefore, there is no shortage of people to use "Li Ze" or "Li Bo" to call this water fertile land.

As soon as they heard that it was Ze, most people would subconsciously think that it was just a lake, just like Zang Ba and Tai Shici, but when they came to Juluze under the guidance of Zhang Huang, they were shocked to find that Juluze was composed of many lakes (shallow small lakes) around a gourd-shaped lake, which is at least more than 100 miles long from north to south, and more than 40 miles long from east to west.

This is not counting, because the Yellow River nine water rushed into Juluze brought a large amount of sediment deposited here, so that many of the berths around Juluze became swamp-like mud after accumulating and precipitating a lot of sediment, under the nutrient value of the river, those berths next to Daze, gradually evolved into a piece of lush forest, in the beautiful natural scenery, and faintly revealed the threat.

In front of such a masterpiece of nature's ingenuity, even Cai Yan lost her mind for a moment, muttering about the origin of the continent as far as she knew.

"Dayu guides the river, the north crosses the water, as for the mainland, ......"

"Historical records?" Xu Fu glanced at Cai Yan with a little surprise when he heard this, after all, in this thought, it is rare for a woman to know how to read and write, and it is probably unique to have read Sima Qian's "Historical Records". Therefore, at first glance, when he heard Cai Yan reciting a few sentences of the chapter of the guide river in the historical records, Xu Fu's heart was full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan was even more surprised than Xu Fu, and said it ugly, it turned out that she had always thought that Zhang Huang's companions were reckless men who didn't know poetry and books, and at best they could recognize a hundred or so words, but she didn't expect that she had only recited two sentences, and Xu Fu had accurately said the source of the sentence she recited. This made Cai Yan look at Xu Fu, a young man who always claimed to be the Black Feather Crow Military Division.

"Yuan Zhi has also read the historical records?" Cai Yan couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this moment, Xu Fu almost burst into tears.

Because since he was "unfortunately" abducted by Zhang Huang and became a member of the Black Feather Crow, no one has ever called him by the word again. Zhang Huang's "Dafu" had already made Xu Fu feel the corners of his mouth twitch, and Chen Zhi and Li Tong's unceremonious "half-tricked military division" made Xu Fu tremble with anger, only Zang Ba and Tai Shici occasionally called him "military advisor".

How many days have it been? Xu Fu went from being reluctant and resisting in every possible way to being resigned and indifferent later, during which he did not know how much helpless sighs and sadness he took, so that now, Xu Fu actually has a feeling of being able to see the moon.

"Back to my sister-in-law, I had time to copy it when I was ten years old." Xu Fu replied with the excitement in his heart.

Cai Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Tentatively asked, "Can you still recite it all now?" ”

"This ......" Xu Fu frowned slightly, shook his head and said truthfully, "I can probably recite it...... But if you want to be word for word, I'm afraid it is...... Well, it's a little difficult. ”

"......" Cai Yan was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, although she was also a talented person with unusual intelligence and a strong memory, she couldn't recite the entire history on the premise of only copying it once, not to mention that it was seven or eight years later.

Unbelievable!

"Really?" Cai Yan was a little skeptical. Although she didn't think that Xu Fu had any reason to deceive her about such a thing, she still instinctively couldn't believe it, because in her opinion, this was something that even she and her former nominal fiancé, Wei Zhongdao, who was known as a world-shattering talent, could not do it.

Xu Fu was just about to speak. Li Tong grinned and put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate Dafu, he used to be one of Xun Wushuang's beloved disciples......

Pity. Before Li Tong finished speaking, Xu Fu, who looked a little displeased, slapped his hand off his shoulder, after all, this matter was Xu Fu's sore foot. Having said that, even after passing through the Yingchuan Xun family and his party. Xun Shuang and Xu Fu used to be a father and son like a master and apprentice, but their relationship still hasn't improved much. But think about it carefully, with the stubborn temper of the two of them as if carved out of a mold, it is absolutely impossible for one party to bow its head to the other party and give in, whether it is Xun Shuang or Xu Fu.

"Xun Wushuang? Xun Shuang, Xun Ciming? Cai Yan was shocked when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Yuanzhi, you actually studied under Xun Shuoru?" ”

Shuo Ru is a written honorific title for attaining extremely high achievements in Confucian classics, i.e., Great Confucian. And although Xun Shuang is not as good as Ma Rong and Guo Tai, two great figures who are like the Confucian banner of the entire era, in terms of his attainments in scriptures, he can at least be a very small number of Confucian sages who are qualified to sit on an equal footing with well-known Confucians such as Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, etc., how could Cai Yan, who has been a female student of Confucianism since childhood, not heard of Xun Shuang's famous name.

Xu Fu smiled far-fetchedly, and at the same time glared at Li Tong hatefully. Usually, Xu Fu rarely gets really angry, unless someone touches his bottom line, and the master-apprentice relationship with Xun Shuang is exactly what Xu Fu is most reluctant to mention, because there is one thing that he has not been able to let go of.

It may be that seeing that Xu Fu, a good old man on weekdays, was really angry this time, Li Tong hurriedly ran away, and Cai Yan looked at Xu Fu, who had a somewhat bad complexion, and did not ask any more, although she was very curious about how a world-renowned talent like Xu Fu, who could be regarded as a personal disciple by Xun Shuang, could get mixed up with Zhang Huang and these people.

may be because of the relationship between literature and light martial arts in this era, so even Cai Yan doesn't pay much attention to martial artists who only know how to wield guns and dance swords, otherwise, she wouldn't have thought about subtly letting Zhang Huang read more books.

At this time, Zang Ba's steady voice came from the direction of the carriage.

"The boss is awake! …… Boss, how are you? ”

Hearing this voice, Cai Yan hurriedly turned around and hurriedly returned to the carriage where everyone was riding, and happened to help Zhang Huang, who stepped out of the carriage with Zang Ba's support.

"Ah Huang, how are you feeling?" Cai Yan asked with some concern.

"Also...... Not bad. Zhang Huang moved his somewhat stiff neck. Because of the unbearable relationship of the hot poison, Zang Ba and Tai Shici were afraid that he would harm himself again under the torment of the hot poison, so they directly knocked Zhang Huang unconscious. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Huang spent almost all of his time in a coma, because as long as he showed the slightest sign of awakening, Zang Ba and Tai Shici, who were staring at him closely, would unceremoniously make up for the knife. After all, although this will not slow down the accumulation of heat poison in Zhang Huang's body, it can at least allow Zhang Huang to temporarily get out of pain.

Of course. There are still side effects of this, for example, now, just after waking up, Zhang Huang immediately felt the hot in his body from beginning to end, but his head was still groggy and he didn't react for a while.

"Boss, Juluze has arrived, what should I do next?" Saying this, Chen Zhi looked around into the distance, and added with a puzzled expression, "Boss, what direction is that Phantom Sky Mountain you are talking about?" I didn't see any mountains along the way. ”

As soon as they heard this, the black feather crows were also stunned. I couldn't help but look around, but as Chen Zhi said, there was only a vast and magnificent lake here, and then there were patches of lush forests, as for any mountains, they didn't see a single one.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhang Huang endured the gradually growing heat in his body, smiled reluctantly, and said. "Follow me, and you'll see." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the swampy moories on the periphery. "The carriage is left here, let's go this way."

"Road?" The black crows glanced at the road Zhang Huang pointed out with a strange expression, if that piece of muddy land could also be called a road.

"Be careful, don't fall. …… these places. It used to be a lake, although it was not bottomless, but it was also a ...... more than a dozen zhang," Zhang Huang reminded as he pointed to a few mud puddles in the distance.

Glancing at the puddles of mud that were even bubbling. The black-feathered crows swallowed a little uneasily. Many times, people are still quite powerless in front of nature, just like the black feather crows have mastered the rigid body one by one, but once they accidentally fall into those pits, what role can even the rigid body play?

Probably noticing the nervous expressions of the black feather crows, Zhang Huang first patted the back of Cai Yan's small hand holding him, and slightly calmed her who was also a little uneasy after hearing those words, and then he smiled and said to the black feather crows, "Follow my steps, you won't fall into the pit." …… If you want to be on the safe side, you might as well use the curved steps to match my rhythm. ”

The black crows glanced at each other, and invariably began to simulate the rhythm of Zhang Huang's steps, so that as long as they grasped the distance of Zhang Huang's steps, they could easily step on the footprints left by Zhang Huang, and would not step on other places.

The only unsettling factor is whether Zhang Huang will accidentally step on the wrong place.

Out of uneasiness, Xu Fu couldn't help but ask, "Chief, you seem to be familiar with this place?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Huang showed a smile on his face as if he was reminiscing, and muttered, "When I was young, I had to go down the mountain for about three to five days, hunt some game, and go to the nearest village to buy some rice and vegetables. ”

"Haven't you ever fallen?" Li Tong laughed ill-intentionedly.

"Of course. …… Several times I almost died. Zhang Huang's indifferent look made the black feather crows look at each other.

Talking and chatting, Zhang Huang and his party walked deeper and deeper in this forest, and I don't know how long it took, after they carefully passed through a dense forest, the black feather crows were shocked to find that the eyes suddenly opened up, and it was no longer the dangerous Zelin area that did not know how to get started, what appeared in front of them was a field full of greenery. Incredibly, in front of them, in the distance of the blue lake surrounded by jungle, a towering mountain suddenly appeared in front of them.

"This ......" Everyone was dumbfounded, knowing that they were just on the outskirts of Juluze, but they had never seen any mountains, let alone such a towering mountain.

"Illusion?" Xu Fu's eyes widened in shock, at this moment, he really couldn't figure out whether the mountain he was seeing now was an illusion, or if the qiē they had just seen on the outskirts of Juluze was an illusion. However, he instinctively felt that in Juluze, a place surrounded by a large area of water, there should really not be such a fairyland-like lofty mountains.

"I finally understand why the boss is coming to his stepfather......" Tai Shici seemed to have woken up to something, and said in disbelief, "If what we see now is just a Taoist illusion, then the boss's stepfather, his ability will definitely not be under that Zhang Zhen......"

A group of people looked at Zhang Huang with strange expressions, after all, Zhang Huang had never said that he had such a powerful father-in-law.

Facing the shocked expressions of the brothers, Zhang Huang shook his head with a light smile and said, "You misunderstood, this place was not made by my stepfather with Taoism, but was naturally formed, and my godfather is not the master here, he is just living here......

"Master?" The Black Feather Crows looked at each other suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Who is the owner here?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Huang raised his finger and pointed to the top on the left and right sides, and the black feather crows looked up in confusion when they saw this.

It didn't matter if they saw it, they were immediately frightened and turned pale. For they were horrified to find that many strange people in disguised clothes had appeared on the trunks of the great trees on either side of the path they had walked. Most of these strange people were dressed in the fur of wild beasts, and only a few wore clothes that resembled coarse cloth, and their dark faces and skin were painted with a blood-like dark red pattern, and they either crouched or stood, or held wooden bony spears, or clenched stone knives and bone knives, and looked at them with unkind expressions.

[Barbarian!] ]

The black feather crow, who gasped in fright, exclaimed in his heart. Although they have more or less heard that even under the rule of the Great Han, there are some mountain people who are not obedient to the religion and would rather live in the seclusion of the mountains like savages than submit to the rule of the Great Han, but if they really encounter it, even if they add the battle of the Great Min Mountain that they encountered when they fought with the rebels in Guangling, it is only the second time so far.

In the impression of the black crows, those indigenous warriors in Damin Mountain in Guangling County are powerful enough, and they are simply unrivaled killers with the cooperation of night, but at the moment, it seems that this wave of natives that suddenly appeared in front of them is even more powerful. Because if it weren't for Zhang Huang's signal, they wouldn't have known that there was already a group of fierce-eyed brutes staring at them above their heads.

This ability to hide the aura is far above the indigenous warriors of the Great Min Mountain.

Involuntarily, the black-feathered crows reached for the weapons they were carrying. And seeing their actions, the eyes of those thick-shouldered barbarians became more and more vicious.

At this time, Zhang Huang pressed the Wu Hook Divine Weapon in Chen Zhi's hand, which was closest to him, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't move!" …… We're on somebody's turf. They are the masters of this place, as I have just referred! ”

"They are ......"

"Yellow River Guyi, Li people!" Zhang Huang said in a low voice.

[Li nationality?] That's not legend......]

Cai Yan and Xu Fu, the only ones who had heard of it from the books, glanced at each other, and it was difficult to hide the horror on their faces. (To be continued......)
