Chapter Ninety-Four: The Stone Axe Giant

Hunger hurts the stomach and hurts the spirit, people are very quick when they are hungry, Zuo Dengfeng discovered this a long time ago, so he will do it on an empty stomach when he studies spells and learns classics, the city wall is very high, the morning sun is warm, Zuo Dengfeng quickly turned a copy of the Tao Te Ching, and it was not until noon that he put down the scriptures and meditated cross-legged.

Since being taught by the mysterious Taoist priest of the abandoned Taoist temple a method of gathering qi of interception, Zuo Dengfeng no longer needs to meditate cross-kneeled, and the cultivation of aura is divided into two steps: gathering qi and practicing qi, gathering qi refers to gathering external aura, and practicing qi is to integrate the gathered external aura in the body, and the time it takes to gather qi is relatively long, and the time used to meditate and practice qi is relatively short.

Zuo Dengfeng has now entered the supreme realm of yin and yang life and death, and further up is the realm of infinity, if you want to enter the realm of infinity, it will take at least sixty years of penance, and Zuo Dengfeng has no intention of doing so at all. The purpose of his diligent Qi cultivation is because he vaguely feels that the current Supreme Realm is also divided into three small steps, high, medium and low, he is currently at the lowest level, and there is still a small amount of room for improvement in cultivation, he wants to cultivate the Supreme Realm perfectly, and the purpose is twofold, one is that it is inevitable to encounter danger in the future, and it is possible to improve his cultivation to meet the unexpected. Second, he wanted to see the soul and the yin object clearly, but at present he could only feel their existence, but he couldn't see clearly.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Thirteen woke up, Zuo Dengfeng took a nap, according to the bamboo slips, the infinite realm of yin and yang life and death can be 'sleepless, eternal and free', which means that there is no need to sleep after entering the infinite realm, but the supreme realm is not good, you can sleep a little less, and you can't stand it if you don't sleep for a long time.

In the evening, Zuo Dengfeng took Thirteen on the road again, and there were many mosquitoes in the mountain at night, and Zuo Dengfeng did not dare to rest at night.

Zuo Dengfeng also eats irregularly, he will also eat the wild fruits in the treetops and the berries in the forest, and not all the wild fruits in the forest can be eaten, but he can keenly feel which ones can be eaten and which ones are poisonous, all of which come from his more and more acute instinct and intuition after practicing the Yin and Yang Technique, he can't tell why he feels this way, he only knows that this feeling is very accurate.

In addition, not all the streams in the mountains are drinkable, and many of them seem to be clear but have actually been polluted by the poisonous snake saliva water upstream, so Zuo Dengfeng does not have the opportunity to cook rice every day, and can only encounter what to eat.

The second trip was from west to east to find, this time Zuo Dengfeng did not have any gains, but a chance encounter made him have a deeper understanding of life, in the forest he saw a lame wild horse, the wild horse is a mother, and with cubs, attacked by a leopard, endangered and dying, Zuo Dengfeng couldn't bear to take away the leopard, but when the leopard was injured and left, Zuo Dengfeng found that it also had cubs, and several cubs were also very thin, injured it is very likely to make it unable to hunt and cause its children to starve to death. This incident touched Zuo Dengfeng a lot, sometimes compassion may be cruelty, and cruelty may also be compassion.

In the following days, there was still no harvest from Zuo Dengfeng, three thousand years is enough time to turn the sea into mulberry fields, very few buildings at that time can be preserved to this day, and the trees in the mountains are shady, looking around for twenty miles is very likely to miss the architectural remains under the shade, but this is not a way, if you walk through the forest, it is too time-consuming.

"Steady, don't rush." Zuo Dengfeng warned himself many times that the current direction and route of action were predetermined, and if he gave up halfway and turned to random searching, he couldn't remember which places he had searched, because there was no obvious reference in the mountain, and more time would be wasted at that time.

Seven days later, Zuo Dengfeng finally has a new discovery, and it is a city similar to the ancient city seen before, this city is on the east side of the boundary of Yongguo, also covers an area of more than 20 acres, because it is located in the shelter of the southern foot of the mountain, so this ancient city is relatively intact preserved, the general outline of the city can also be recognized, there are several houses remaining in the city, and the city wall remains on three sides. There is only one city gate in the ancient city, located in the south, and a square stone platform is added to the city wall, although the stone platform has collapsed for a long time, but Zuo Dengfeng still judged that this stone platform was used to transmit news, that is to say, this city is not the main city of Yongguo, it should be the same as the city found in the southwest before, it is the outer outpost of the main city.

Because the city has been overgrown with towering trees and waist-high weeds, Zuo Dengfeng could not observe carefully, so he could only enter the house that had not collapsed to find clues, the house was a flat-topped stone building, there were no windows, only a door, and the weeds in front of the door had been neatly suppressed and lodging, even if he did not rely on his keen intuition, Zuo Dengfeng knew that there was a python entrenched inside.

For pythons, Zuo Dengfeng has seen too much in the past few days, if he doesn't meet a big python one day, he will feel that there is something less, Thirteen is not afraid of snakes, on the contrary, it likes to tease snakes very much. Zuo Dengfeng nodded slightly at it, Thirteen knew that Zuo Dengfeng agreed to it to go down and bombard, excitedly jumped off Zuo Dengfeng's shoulder, jumped into the house, after a whining, a bucket-thick python was blasted out by Thirteen, this is the largest python he encountered along the way, Zuo Dengfeng stood on the roof and watched the python swim slowly, and at the same time visually measured its length, and found that its body length was about twelve meters. This discovery made Zuo Dengfeng frown secretly, such a thick python body length is only twelve meters, Thirteen Dangyu once showed him the length of the six yin fire snakes in the twelve earth branches, according to the distance that thirteen walked, the body length of the six yin fire snakes is more than twenty meters, how thick it must be.

Thirteen seems to be the nemesis of snakes and other poisons, no matter how big the other party is, they are afraid of it, Zuo Dengfeng doesn't know the reason, but Thirteen's urine can make the bronze armored beast surname Dafa, and it also makes President Dejia's zombie father lie down directly, so Zuo Dengfeng suspects that its urine is a pure yang thing. But he was only suspicious and couldn't confirm it, because every time he ordered Thirteen to pee, Thirteen ignored him.

During this time in the mountains, Zuo Dengfeng found a phenomenon, that is, the animals in the mountains have their own territory, and the large beasts occupy an area, and there are few other beasts in this area except for the fierce beast, this giant python should be the overlord of this area, so there will be no other large beasts within dozens of miles around.

Thirteen drove out the giant python and did not stop, it enjoyed the vanity and sense of accomplishment of the little man chasing away the big guy very much, and chased the giant python away again and again, Zuo Dengfeng shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the stone house.

The house is very empty, although the house has no windows, but the humidity is very large, plus the age, all the wooden utensils in the room are rotten, the middle of the room is a smooth ground, this is the position of the giant python coiled, the things in the stone house are squeezed into the corner of the house, Zuo Dengfeng walked to the corner of the house to observe carefully, and found that there were several bronze objects with green rust scattered on the ground, but unfortunately they immediately became green powder as soon as they were taken by the probe, even the bronze objects could not be preserved in the three thousand years of moisture corrosion.

With the experience of the previous car, Zuo Dengfeng didn't dare to stretch out his hand anymore, he could only look down carefully, these bronze utensils scattered on the ground were large and small, the big ones were about the same as the wooden boxes behind him, the small ones were only the size of palms, and there were square and round, according to the style, it didn't look like a living vessel, and it didn't want to be a sacrificial utensil, but it was a bit like a container for storing something.

In addition to the bronze ware, there are some stone utensils in the corner, the style is also similar to the bronze ware, the stone utensils are relatively intact, Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and took a square stone box and looked down, the stone box is more than a foot long, more than 30 centimeters high, there are small holes drilled on the left and right sides, the lid of the box is a groove push and pull type, in a closed state, open the box, and find that there is nothing inside, but the wall of the box on the inside of the box is carved with two wine cups, and he has been silent for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally thought that this stone box might have been used to raise some kind of animals or birds.

Put down the stone box and then look at other utensils, and find that it is also used to store or raise what kind of animals, a variety of different boxes may raise different animals, there are animals, there are birds, the size of the bamboo cylindrical stone tube may be used to raise insects.

If it is a large city, it is not surprising to find these things on the peak, because it may only be a place for the aristocratic class to domesticate pets in their spare time, but the scale of this city is not large, and it should be inhabited by soldiers, and it is impossible to have a very high-level nobleman.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng didn't come up with a clue, so he could only look down again from the corner, and after pushing aside a pile of green copper powder, a stone axe came into view.

This is a huge axe, the handle of the axe has decayed, but the axe is still there, the length of the ordinary axe is only a dozen centimeters, and the stone axe in front of him is more than forty centimeters long, which is three times the size of an ordinary axe, and the perforation in the middle shows that it was indeed used back then, Zuo Dengfeng reached out and picked up the stone axe to estimate the weight, and found that the weight of this stone axe was definitely not less than fifty catties.

Zuo Dengfeng smiled and threw down the stone axe, in his opinion, such a heavy axe is definitely not a weapon, because it exceeds the bearing limit of ordinary people's arm strength, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is known as eighty-two catties, that is in terms of catties in the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to the current weight of about thirty-six catties, this stone axe is more than fifty catties, not to mention going into battle to fight, it is difficult to carry it.

In addition, this axe should not be a weapon used by people in the monastics, because the perforation in the middle of the axe is also very large, and according to the size of the perforation, the handle of the axe should be the thickness of a pen holder, and ordinary people's hands cannot hold it at all.

But at the moment when Zuo Dengfeng threw down the stone axe, he noticed several clear axe marks on the stone wall on the right side of the room. Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng picked up the stone axe and stepped forward to compare it, and found that the axe marks on the wall were completely consistent with the blade of the stone axe, which meant that this axe was indeed used as a weapon before.

According to the weight of the axe and the thickness of the axe handle, the height and weight of the person who used this axe were definitely far beyond ordinary people, but the handles of the stone box and bronze tools were carved and poured according to the size of ordinary people's palms, which means that the human body size of those who lived here was not enough to use such a heavy axe.

Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, so he put down the stone axe and continued to clean the corner of the wall, when the debris in the corner of the wall was removed, he found something that made him frown suddenly, a skull, this skull skull has been preserved since it was buried by debris, it is not surprising to find the dead man's skull Zuo Dengfeng from here, to his surprise, this skull is very large, twice the size of ordinary people!
