Chapter 260: The Invisible Man
Le Zhengxian didn't know who Guan Mochen was, so he asked curiously: "Who is Yubi Chenghuang?" ”
Hu Shen said: "His name is Guan Mochen, he is a man who learns the art of imperial ink, but what he worships is the art of Kuang Bi, this person is upright, it is because of his integrity that his future has been delayed, the earth can be attached to the forces, but he must not rely on his own ideals, although Guan Mochen is a good person, but in the troubled times, he ......"
When Hu Shen said this, he smiled bitterly and slowed down: "But in troubled times, good people usually don't have good rewards. ”
Le Zhengxiu asked: "A Tongtian prince and a royal pen city god, can't you change something?" ”
Hu Shen looked at Le Zhengxian and said: "Even if you add me and An Shu, even if Cai Qianqing is alive, the five of us join forces, and what we will change is only a temporary situation, but we can't change everything, because we are not destined to be people who can change this era. ”
Although Tang Anshu is smart and has figured out the law, his weakness is that he is too soft-hearted and has a serious lack of experience in the rivers and lakes; Cai Qianqing also has the same problem, and the things she focuses on are too one-sided; Although An Wanghai is ruthless and does things without compromise, he still retains the original kindness in his heart.
Therefore, the reason why these three people have become friends is that they all regard kindness as the foundation of their foothold.
Hu Shen slowly walked towards the ancient tower: "As for Guan Mochen, his weakness is that his ideals are too grand, and he always hopes that he can change everything by himself, it's not that he is not sober, and it's not that he can't recognize his ability defects, it's just that he is too idealistic." ”
When Hu Shen walked to the gate of the ancient tower, Yunshang turned around and asked, "Is this really the entrance?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Of course, this is also the water prison of Qianqing, smash the door open, keep going down, and the entrance is at the bottom." ”
Yun Shang was puzzled: "If I'm not mistaken, it's not so clear on the map, right?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Of course, but it is clearly written on the other map. ”
Yun Shang asked, "Another map?" ”
Hu Shen said: "That's right, that map is in my head, so don't think about killing us after you go in, that will only make it difficult for you to move an inch." ”
Yun Shang seemed to understand something, and no longer spoke, but showed a strange smile.
●
In the city, in front of the strange woods.
Tang Anshu and the others were all napping, ready to take a nap for a while and continue to move forward, after all, people are not machines, there is not enough rest, and continuing to move forward is undoubtedly looking for death.
The relatively energetic Raimaru slept for a while, then woke up and took over the male yellow, sitting on the side with a gun and watching closely around, his eyes were still locked on the position of the canyon, and he kept thinking about whether the woman he saw earlier was his hallucination.
Just when Raimaru was still wondering, he suddenly saw something swimming in front of his eyes, and as soon as he was excited, he immediately stood up with a gun, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a fish!
Fish!?
Rakumaru thought he was dazzled again, rubbing his eyes and looking closely, but he really saw a fish slowly swimming past him.
"Fish! Fish! Raimaru directly woke up Tang Anshu, who was closest to him.
Tang Anshu turned over and got up: "What fish?" ”
Rakumaru pointed to the location where the fish had been found earlier: "There's ...... there"
But the strange thing is that the fish that was swimming in mid-air before is now gone.
Tang Anshu looked at Lei Pill in confusion: "What's wrong with you?" ”
The rest of the people also woke up one after another, and after hearing what Raimaru had seen earlier, Benzoin walked up to Raimaru and examined his eyes, "Maybe that plant liquid dripped into your eyes and gave you the illusion. ”
Raimaru said angrily, "Impossible! I saw a fish swimming past me! ”
Ye Xin smiled: "It's flying over, right?" ”
Mimi and Mint couldn't help but laugh, no one believed him, after all, how could a fish swim on land, or in mid-air?
Tang Anshu lifted his thousand bags and said, "Let's go, it's time to move on, go through this forest first." ”
Xionghuang turned around and ordered, "There are seven of us, divided into two teams, Mr. Tang, Yexin, Raimaru, and Mint are in a team, and the rest are in a team with me." ”
After saying that, the seven of them walked towards the woods, because of the strong light overhead, there was almost no dark place in the woods, but because of this, everyone who had just entered the woods was surprised to find that there were clumps of coral growing next to the roots of those trees.
Tang Anshu squatted in front of a clump of red coral: "It's red coral." ”
Yexin wondered: "How can there be coral?" Moreover, this kind of coral is very valuable, and it is almost impossible to find it in the East China Sea. ”
Raimaru in the back: "There is coral!" There are fish! What I saw earlier was certainly not a hallucination! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, as soon as Raimaru raised his eyes, he saw a figure flashing in front of him, although the speed was fast, Raimaru still clearly saw that it was the woman from before.
The woman was dressed in green, and she could almost blend in with the surroundings in the woods, but Raimaru remembered that in the canyon before, the woman's clothes were black.
Could it be two people?
Rakumaru didn't tell anyone else this time, but quietly walked behind the tree, stretched his head out suddenly, and was immediately startled, the woman was really behind the tree, and looked at him with a monster look.
The woman wore a green cloth skirt with her hair tied around her waist, a jade plaque tied around her waist, barefoot, a goose egg face, and no makeup on her face, but she was so beautiful that it was eye-catching.
Raimaru calmed down and asked, "You, who are you?" ”
The woman didn't seem to understand what he was saying, tilted her head to look at him, looking him up and down.
Raimaru asked again, "Who are you?" ”
The woman repeated his words, "Who are you?" ”
Raimaru said, "I'm Raimaru. ”
The woman didn't imitate and repeat this sentence, still looking Raimaru up and down.
Benzoin, who was in front of the tree, heard something and walked over directly, asking at the same time, "Rakumaru, who are you talking to?" ”
Raimaru hurriedly turned around, and just as he was about to explain, he found that the woman who was in front of him had disappeared.
Raimaru knew that the woman's disappearance was difficult to distinguish, and Benzoin would still say that he was hallucinating, so he had to shake his head and say, "No one, I'm just going to see." ”
When Raimaru turned around and followed Tang Anshu and the others to leave, Benzoin, who was about to leave, found something, she squatted down and looked at the place where the woman had stood before, where the grass had obviously been trampled on, and Rakumaru had obviously not stood there before.
Was Raimaru really talking to someone just now?
Along the way, Benzoin looked at Raimaru, who was Raimaru talking to before? Moreover, why is Raimaru looking left and right all the time, as if he is waiting for someone.
Suddenly, Benzoin noticed that Raimaru was a little abnormal, because Raimaru froze in place, and then looked at the people around him with strange eyes, but the people around him did not react.
Unbeknownst to others, Raimaru saw between the two trees in front of him standing the woman who had spoken to him earlier.
But why didn't anyone else react? Can't they see it?
Benzoin came to Raimaru's side and followed his gaze, but still didn't see anything.
Benzoin couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”
Raimaru came back to his senses: "It's nothing, it's okay. ”
Suddenly, Raimaru was shaken again, and Benzoin noticed his strange demeanor again.
But Benzoin didn't know that what Raimaru saw at this time was a school of fish slowly swimming out from behind the woman, surrounding the tree next to her.
"Fish ......," Raimaru couldn't help but say again.
Fish? Where are the fish? Benzoin looked fixedly, but still didn't see anything.
Rakumaru glanced at Benzoin and smiled awkwardly, he couldn't understand what was going on at all, why could he see it clearly but others couldn't?
As the team continued to move forward, it seemed that there was no danger in this forest, but the further they went, the more they found that this forest seemed to be in the sea before, because the grass gradually turned into sand, the shrubs turned into coral, and there were countless shells hidden in the sand, and the original big trees that were different from each other no longer existed, and became dead trees that seemed to have been immersed in the bottom of the sea for many years.
Tang Anshu stopped, looked at his surroundings, and turned to look at the forest he had walked through earlier.
Xionghuang signaled vigilance, approached Tang Anshu and said, "Something is wrong." ”
Tang Anshu said: "The environment has changed, I'll look at the map." ”
After taking out the map, Xionghuang looked at the map and asked, "What does it mean that there is a boat painted in this place behind the forest?" ”
Tang Anshu raised his eyes and looked ahead, and there was already a fog in front of him: "I don't know, maybe it's a boat." ”
Yexin asked, "Are we still at the bottom of the sea?" ”
After Ye Xin finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look up at the dazzling light above their heads, and so far they hadn't figured out what it was.
Tang Anshu analyzed: "In terms of distance, from Qiufu to the seaside, it will take an hour to walk, and we will walk for half an hour at most, but it can be regarded as close to the coastline." ”
Benzoin asked, "Why is it called Kuncheng?" ”
Tang Anshu thought for a while and said: "The place name Kuncheng did appear in the past, but it was not in Yongcheng, but in the current territory of Shandong, in Penglai. ”
Everyone was surprised, why did they have anything to do with Penglai again? And Penglai is too far away from here, Yongcheng is next to the East China Sea, and Penglai is in the Bohai Sea, which is not a place at all.
Tang Anshu said: "I have heard a legend about Penglai Yushan. ”
"Wait." Xionghuang interrupted Tang Anshu's words, "I know that the place of Yushan is in the area of Haizhou (now Lianyungang)." ”
Tang Anshu said: "That's right, in the "Zuo Chuan" and "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles" and other ancient books recorded in the Yushan is indeed in the Haizhou area, but in the legend Yushan is one of the four mountains of Penglai, also known as Yushan, this place is 'Shun Death Place', that is, the place where Shun killed Kun. ”
Kun and Yu were the great-grandsons and great-great-grandsons of the Yellow Emperor, respectively. The "Historical Records" records that "the fish died in Yushan to change the east". Legend has it that during the reign of Yao Shun, the world was harmed by floods, and Yao ordered the leader of the Chong clan to control the water. Kun used the method of blocking, but the result failed, and Shun killed Yu Yushan. Shun ordered Yu, the son of Kun, to control the water, and Yu accepted the lesson of his father's failure, switched to the method of channeling, and finally calmed the flood.
Tang Anshu explained: "In the past, there was a city in Yushan, and I heard that there are still ruins, but there is also a legend that it is a city that can be moved. ”
Everyone was surprised, and Yexin asked, "A moving city?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Yes, the legend of Kuncheng can fly into the sky, can also escape into the ground, the whole city seems to be alive, can move at will, some people say that this is originally the ancients did not want future generations to find Cangcheng used strategy, because Cangcheng is next to Yushan, so, there are many places called Yushan in the country, but most of them are either next to Penglai, or next to Haizhou, in short, these two places." ”
After Tang Anshu saw the word "Kuncheng" on the map, he did a detailed investigation and found that no matter how he checked, he could not find out the exact location of "Cangcheng", and even where Yushan was in different opinions.
