Chapter 3 Gossip Village Talk Gossip
"Why is this ancient camphor so big!"
Everyone was amazed around the ancient camphor, and after the great destruction, the species on the blue star changed a lot.
All kinds of mutated creatures appeared from time to time, but everyone was still shocked by this ancient camphor tree.
After approaching the castle, everyone really felt its majestic posture, its diameter is more than 20 meters, the branches are uneven, vigorous and vigorous, the leaves are densely packed, covered with green and green, it is not said how high, but the branches extend to half of the castle.
In the middle of the trunk, there are actually two other ancient trees, which stand on the neck of the ancient camphor, and their heads are towering to the sky.
"It's a miracle that I've seen so many big trees along the way, and none of them can compare to it. ”
The monkey ran around the camphor in a childlike way, "Professor, have you ever seen a tree bigger than it?"
Professor Fang shook his head and didn't speak, he retreated more than ten meters and walked clockwise around the tree for a while, and after observing carefully for a while, he came back and walked counterclockwise around the tree for a while.
After observing for a long time, he spoke, "This castle is not simple, if I guess correctly, this ancient camphor tree is the feng shui tree of this castle, and this camphor tree should not be one, but eight."
They are located in eight directions of the castle, and this ancient camphor tree forms an outer gossip.
The building inside the castle itself constitutes an inner gossip, and the tree also forms a yin and yang pattern through the canopy and the castle.
It's not simple, it's really not simple, and it's hard to see such an elaborate layout outside. ”
"Brother, it should be said that you are the real not simple, and you can discover the secret of my Yanbao building after just a few glances. ”
Suddenly, a voice came from Gu Zhang, echoing the professor's words.
Everyone followed the prestige, and at some point there were already five people standing at the top of the canopy, five majestic and strong men.
The wind at the top of the tree swept the branches and swayed, but it couldn't shake them, they seemed to stand in the void.
It was the middle-aged man in his forties who spoke just now, and he was looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
Li Dong's face changed suddenly, and he commanded his subordinates to protect the professor with gestures.
Master, this is a master that Li Dong has never seen in his life!
It's right in front of you, but you don't even know when the other party is standing on the tree.
If the other party intends to sneak attack, it is estimated that a few of them will not even know how to die.
Moreover, Li Dong also felt the same breath as himself from the five people on the other side, which was a unique aura that belonged to soldiers honed from the battlefield of blood and fire, and people who had not experienced the cruel battlefield could not pretend at all.
How could there be a master of the army in this remote castle, and there were five at once, how is this possible?
Li Dong felt that the scene in front of him was incomprehensible at all.
"Haha, the class has an axe, it's really a class to get an axe~"
Professor Fang waved his hand and replied with a smile, "What do you call your friend?" ”
Without seeing the slightest shaking of the body, the five people on the tree had already arrived in front of the professor and the others.
Although I watched them float over as if they were in the wind, the feeling of silence still made people's scalps tingle.
Li Dong and the other six warriors couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, in front of such a master, what role could the protection of themselves and others play?
The gun in his hand was like a toy for a master of this level, but the insistence of the soldiers still made them stand tall in front of the professor and others.
"Don't bother, don't bother," as if he hadn't noticed Li Dong and the others at all, the middle-aged man greeted him in a relaxed tone.
"My name is Jiang Zhong, and I am the leader of the Yan clan's city defense army, and these young men are also from our city defense army. We, the outsiders of Yanbao, are relatively rare, and you can be said to be the first wave of guests after the Earth Change, and you are welcome. ”
"Yan Clan, Yan Castle,"
Everyone's eyes lit up, they really came to the right place, as we all know, Shennong is Emperor Yan.
"Earth change? You are talking about the great plate movement of the landslide and earth fissure more than 500 years ago!"
Professor Fang understood what Jiang Zhong meant after a little thought, but there were more doubts in his heart.
"It's a miracle that such a large building as your castle survived the great destruction!
After that disaster, few buildings on the Blue Star survived. I see that the mountains and landforms around this Shenglong frame have also completely changed, which is incredible~"
"Haha, let's talk about these words in the castle, how can there be any reason to let the guests stand at the door of the house. ”
Jiang Zhong didn't answer the professor's words directly, but he dodged and pulled the professor towards the big tree, and before Li Dong and the others could react, they had already walked into the ancient camphor.
"Be careful, hit ......"
Seeing Jiang Zhong pulling himself straight towards Gu Zhang, the speed was extremely fast, and he was about to hit it in two steps, and Professor Fang's qualitative nature was so frightened that he screamed.
"Hey, strange, strange, what kind of technique is this," Professor Fang's face touched the tree, and there was no feeling of hard objects, as if he had squeezed into a soft membrane, and in the blink of an eye, the person was already in the tree.
Looking back, Li Dong and the others were looking at themselves dumbfounded, but their eyes were not focused on themselves, as if they didn't exist at all.
What's even more strange is that as soon as you enter the ancient camphor, the huge sound of the waterfall outside is completely inaudible, and it suddenly becomes extremely silent.
Professor Fang was curious inside the tree, but Li Dong and the others outside the tree seemed to have a dream.
Professor Fang and Jiang Zhong approached the tree, and there was a ripple and shaking on the tree, and the person entered, which was too mysterious.
The energy shield of the sea tribe is mysterious enough, but it is technology, there are excitation devices, control buttons, everything can be followed, and the one in front of this is completely a tree!
After the Great Destruction, the energy shield of the Sea Clan appeared in front of the world many times, and all countries have studied it, that is, the physical use of energy.
Some scientists have developed a magnetic shield with the help of the principle of the energy shield, which can be said to look no different from the energy shield, but it is not as powerful as the energy shield of the sea tribe, and it cannot be miniaturized.
But people don't think that the energy shield is so mysterious anymore, and only regard it as a relatively advanced technological product.
"Friends from afar, please!"
The young men of the Yan clan looked at the remaining few people with a grin. The hand leading the way reached into the tree, but the body was still outside, as if the tree was made of jelly.
These Yan people have been very kind since they appeared, so Chen Dong didn't worry too much about the professor being taken away.
There are relatively few strangers I usually see, and a few young men have been looking at everyone curiously, especially Ouyang Yafu has received the most attention.
However, they had only secretly glanced at it a few times before, and they looked a little embarrassed, but this time they dared to speak boldly.
Ouyang Yafu saw the way a little, this should be the legendary formation enchantment and other barriers, she smiled and walked into the ancient camphor with Xu Yan, looking accustomed to it.
Although Li Dong and the others didn't know the reason, their status as soldiers did not allow them to show their cowardice, so they followed up with a hard head.
Only Sun Hao still looked at the big tree in disbelief and didn't dare to enter the castle, bringing a little psychological comfort to a few young men who were deliberately tricking. They grabbed the fat man's arms and carried him into the fort despite his struggles.
After meeting with the professor in the ancient camphor, everyone came to the center of the ancient camphor, and the two ancient trees actually took root on the ancient camphor.
Because the inside of the ancient camphor is transparent with a semi-energy body, they can clearly see the hanging roots of the two ancient trees, which can be seen from time to time, and everyone is amazed.
After walking for a while, the tree came out, the ancient camphor is facing a strange stone shadow wall, which is painted with the scene of the ancient battle, the carving is exquisite, and the people in it are visible.
Professor Fang also deliberately stepped forward to study for a long time, but he couldn't tell which war it was.
After walking through the shadow wall, everyone found that there was a hole in the fort, each family, facing each other, relying on each other with their backs, and the lanes were vertical and horizontal, like a labyrinth.
In the middle of each lane is a straight road nearly three meters wide, and on both sides of the straight road are waterways nearly one meter wide, the straight roads are connected, the waterways are connected, and the entire castle building is a whole.
Except for the strange huge claw marks on the wall, the entire Yanbao looks beautiful and antique, and this sense of historical vicissitudes is difficult to find in the outside world that has experienced a great destruction.
On the way, the professor introduced the origins of several of his people to Jiang Zhong and others, and only during the chat did he know that Jiang Zhong was actually nearly eighty years old, a few years old from the professor, this old brother is really worthy of the name, but he looks too young.
While speaking, everyone followed the straight road to the center of Yanbao - a huge square, and in the middle of the square was a Taiji Yin Yang Fish.
Half of the people who are close to everyone is a yin fish formed by a pool of blue water, and before they get close, they only feel a cold air, and the cold smoke on the spring is filled, and the strange thing is that there are still small black fish swimming in it, and the leaves on the top of the pool are also in the shape of a yin fish, just covering the pool.
And when I walked to the opposite side, I found that it was covered with all kinds of fiery red rocks, large and small, and there was still hot gas coming out when it was near, like a volcanic crater about to erupt, and it was scorching.
"It's the basalt fire rock in the center of the earth, and it can heat up by itself," Jiang Zhong explained, as if he saw the confusion in everyone's eyes.
"From a scientific point of view, every rock here is a small nuclear reactor, or something like a small sun, where nuclear fusion is happening all the time.
However, they only provide thermal radiation and no other radiation damage, and they are very stable and have no danger of explosion.
The energy of this rock can last for a long time, from the time of the ancestral gods to the present, it has not weakened, for seven or eight thousand years. ”
Everyone's jaws dropped to the ground!
Is this still the isolated paradise in everyone's minds? How can professional physics terms jump out of this young man's mouth one by one, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.
It feels like a knowledgeable professor is imparting knowledge to everyone, just a teaching stick.
"This ......."
"Although there are few people here, the people of the clan still go out occasionally," Ouyang Yafu's question had not yet been spoken, and Jiang Zhong had already opened his mouth to explain his doubts.
"Otherwise, the young men don't have any daughters-in-law, and it is illegal for close relatives to marry. ”
This serious joke made everyone feel anxious on the outside, and this young-looking old man was still quite good at cold humor.
"Every girl and boy over the age of sixteen in our clan will go out and stay in the outside world for five years before coming back, otherwise how could our castle exist until now.
Although the situation in the outside clan cannot be announced due to the ancestral teaching, the advanced knowledge outside always needs to be learned, and we are not a place where we cannot eat the ancients.
If Miss Ouyang meets a satisfactory young man with us, you are welcome to join our Yan family."
In the last sentence, Jiang Zhong turned back to Ouyang Yafu and said it, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
After saying this, everyone nodded frequently, especially those young men of the Yan clan, and their favorability towards the leader rose slowly.
Only Ouyang Yafu threw this handsome grandfather a free health ball.
"Distinguished guests are coming from thousands of miles away, and the old body is not welcome, please come in and sit!"
Everyone was joking, and a gentle and kind voice came from a distance, Professor Fang and they looked up, and it turned out that there were already people waiting for them in front.
Yin Yang fish is facing a majestic hall, the eaves outside the hall are anti-Yu, the momentum is magnificent, and there are three big characters in the hall of the flame soul.
At this time, there was an old lady with crane hair and a childish face standing in the square at the entrance of the hall, her eyes were deep and wise, and she was holding a dragon head crutch in her hand, looking at everyone with a smile on her face.
"This is our Yi elder, she is the oldest elder of our clan, and she has experienced the changes of the year.
If you want to know about the situation of the big devastation back then, you can ask her, the Yi clan elder is still very easy to talk to," Jiang Zhong smiled and introduced the old man to everyone.
Isn't it at least 600 years old, although with the progress of biotechnology, the life span of human beings is getting longer and longer, but such an old birthday star is still rare.
Everyone, even Professor Fang, had the nervousness of a child just meeting a strange adult.
Only the fat man's face was full of disdain, and he seemed to want to say something, but he was pressed back by the professor's rare stern eyes.
"The boy Fang Nai, with his students and friends, has met the old Yi people, and wishes the old man a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan. ”
Professor Fang hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists to the end, this salute was to respect people, and Ouyang Yafu and the others also bowed.
"Haha, no need to be polite, everyone please come in!" The old man was in a very good mood, and led everyone into the Flame Soul Hall with a hearty smile.
The hall is empty but not as much as the outside of the hall is decorated with carved beams and paintings, although the pillars of the hall are huge, but there is no carving, it seems to be simple and simple.
On the front is a simple portrait of an old peasant in the shape of a turtle-backed crane, with three chairs under the portrait and two rows of chairs on the left and right sides, and there is nothing else in the main hall.
"Could it be that this is the portrait of Emperor Yan?" Xu Yan looked at the portrait hanging in the center, suddenly changed his previous silence and asked first.
"Isn't Emperor Yan the head of a bull? This image seems to have never been circulated in the outside world. And we're here to visit Emperor Yan's Mausoleum this time, is it really in the Shenglong Frame?"
From the beginning of this trip, Xu Yan had too many questions in his heart.
Unlike Ouyang Yafu, who knew some secrets unknown to ordinary people because of his family background, his understanding of Emperor Yan all came from oral myths and allusions that he had studied.
There are nine Yan Emperors, the first Yan Emperor is Shennong's, Yan Emperor was born by Jiang Shui, so his surname is Jiang, and he is the head of the cow.
He taught people to use fire and pottery to plough, he tasted a hundred poisons to make "Shennong's Materia Medica", reigned for 120 years, and was buried in Longxipi, Luoling County, before the great destruction.
This is the image of Emperor Yan of the Shennong clan that Xu Yan understands.
The professor brought him out this time to make him very puzzled, and he also read the professor's ancient book, which was from the tomb of a prince in the Shang Dynasty, and he only regarded it as a story.
Unexpectedly, the professor took it seriously, and brought him and Ouyang Yafu over to explore, full of questions, and couldn't help it anymore when he saw this portrait.
"Haha, that's a false rumor, this is the portrait of the ancestral god and his old man, which was hand-painted by the clansmen in the appearance of the ancestral god back then. ”
Several people from the Yan clan in the hall looked at each other and smiled, and after the old Yi clan sat down in the middle, he motioned for everyone to sit down too.
"The bull-headed human body is just an image that appeared when our clan worshiped our ancestors, it was the original totem of our clan, and then I don't know why the ancestral god was actually passed on to this image.
As for Emperor Yan, which Emperor Yan are you talking about, Emperor Yan has always had a total of nine, and we only know that the first Emperor Yan, that is, the ancestral god, is buried here.
Isn't there still a legend that the ancestral gods ascended to heaven here in the Shenglong frame? In fact, this legend is still somewhat close to the truth.
As for the other Yan Emperors, we really haven't explored where they are buried. ”
Xu Yan was stunned by this answer, and before he could ask again, he was taken over by the professor.
This student has always been in a hurry to say what he didn't understand, and he was already a little anxious about the question just now, but fortunately, the Yi clan was more approachable and didn't be surprised.
After sitting down and chatting for a long time, the professor gave them a certain understanding of this place, and the Yi people always knew everything and said everything.
According to her, it is natural for the descendants of Yan and Huang to know the affairs of their ancestors, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
However, according to their ancestors' teachings, their attitude towards the outside world has always been that they do not take the initiative to publicize it, nor do they conceal it in the slightest.
In fact, they have always been in contact with the outside world, but they don't know why there hasn't been much news about Yanbao over the years. Even if it spreads, it will only be known to a small number of people.
This Yanbao was built by the Shennong clan with a group of children after the battle of chasing deer, in order to temper the children and guard China.
The entire Flame Fort was shrouded in a huge formation, which had never been visible to people before, so there was never a record of it in the Ascending Dragon Frame.
When the ground changes, the formation is affected, and the concealment function disappears to be seen by the naked eye, but modern electronic devices such as satellites still cannot be detected.
However, because the Shenglong frame has been rarely visited after the Great Destruction, no outsiders have been here for nearly 600 years, except for marriage, and the communication with the outside world has always been the people of the clan.
As for the destruction of ground changes, there is the protection of the formation, and although there is a plate collision, it is not large.
The reason why it is said that the legend of Emperor Yan ascending to heaven on the Shenglong ladder is indeed somewhat true, it is because Emperor Yan's relics are here.
However, his primordial spirit is no longer in this space, and no one really knows if he is still alive now.
The first generation of Emperor Yan actually lived to the end of the Battle of the Deer, and Emperor Yan may not have died until now, is this a myth or a real history?
Everyone, including Professor Fang, was messy.
Ouyang Yafu's cherry mouth opened and didn't close for a long time, history, mythology, and after knowing these news, more questions popped up, what happened in ancient times?
When the Yan people came in to light the lamp, everyone found that it had completely darkened suddenly, and Professor Fang himself felt a little tired after sitting down for a few hours, and he was really embarrassed to drag the master's house to ask questions.
Although the old Yi seems to be in good spirits all the time, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to let an old man in his six hundred years accompany him to chat for so long.
"Is it convenient for us to go and worship Emperor Yan tomorrow?" Professor Fang finally asked before leaving, this is something that every descendant of Yan and Huang yearns for.
"Of course it's okay to worship, but it may take a few days to delay, and we're preparing for the New Year's festival in about seven days, and then we'll be able to show you something different. ”
After thinking about it, the Yi clan elder said, "You have been shopping in the fort for the past two days, Jiang Yi, you can arrange it!"
From behind the pillars of the main hall flashed a beautiful woman in plain clothes, her eyebrows were like autumn water, and her flashing bright eyes showed a bit of ability, she nodded to the guests and said, "Everyone, please come with me!"
After speaking, she took a step ahead and walked out of the main hall to lead the way.
