Chapter 126: Honeycomb Window Paper
"Okay, wait until dawn." Jade Whisk nodded in agreement. Although both of them can see in the dark, they certainly don't see things as clearly at night as they do during the day, and in addition, the yin qi is heavier at night, and strange things are easy to happen.
After Yufu finished speaking, Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and prepared to collect firewood to make a fire, after thinking about it and changing his mind, he had already noticed the direction of the wind when he walked here before, there was a lot of north wind in winter, and it must have blown to the south after lighting the fire.
Thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng lit a fire, to be precise, it was set on fire, and under the encouragement of the mountain wind, the fire quickly burned, and the fire quickly spread to the south.
"Why set fire?" Seeing this, Jade Fu frowned and spoke, she knew very well that this fire would cause tens of thousands of living beings to die.
"If we want to get out, we can only break the formation, once the formation is broken, these monsters will run out, do you want them to run out?" Zuo Dengfeng took out the water from the wooden box and handed it to the jade whisk.
"How can there be people in the city?" Yufu took the kettle and took a sip.
"I don't know, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anyone." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and replied.
"Is it possible to be a survivor?" Yufu returned the kettle to Zuo Dengfeng, Zuo Dengfeng was thinking about it at the moment, Mu Ran took the kettle and took a sip, and after drinking, he remembered that Yufu had drunk it before, and looked up at Yufu in embarrassment, but fortunately, Yufu didn't pay attention.
"Inbreeding can lead to serious deformities, and it's not been a day or two since those giants became what they are now, and there shouldn't be normal people here." Zuo Dengfeng took out the porcelain bowl he used and poured water for Thirteen to drink.
"If it's a human being, what kind of relationship is considered a close relative?" Jade Fu asked.
"Blood relatives within three generations, father and daughter are the first generation, brothers and sisters are the second generation, and cousins are the third generation. Even if there were 10,000 residents here, they would have been related to each other for such a long time, because childbearing is a matter of two people, and as the generations reproduce, the room for mutual choice will become smaller and smaller. Zuo Dengfeng replied. These are all Western sciences, and the jade whisk naturally can't touch them.
"We have carrier pigeons in Chenzhou, the pigeons lay two eggs at a time, and after hatching, they are a male and a female, they are brothers and sisters, and when they grow up, they are husband and wife, and they are not deformed." Jade Whisk retorted with an example.
"Can a pigeon be the same as a human?" Zuo Dengfeng pouted and said. If it weren't for what Jade Whisk said, he really didn't know that pigeons were bred like this.
"In the village where I lived as a child, there were many cousins and sisters, but there were not many disabled and fools, on the contrary, the girls were beautiful and the men were smart." Jade Whisk looked around and found a piece of bluestone and sat on it.
"It is possible to have children who are better than their parents, or they can have children who are deformed. A good child is very good. A bad child will be very bad. Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and sat on the ground, keeping a distance of three steps from the jade whisk.
"Why is this happening?" Jade Whisk asked.
"I don't know, the book doesn't say it. However, only 30 percent of the inbred offspring are better than their parents, and the remaining 70 percent are not as good as their parents. That is, the possible surnames of the bad ones are much larger than the possible surnames of the good ones. Zuo Dengfeng said.
"Then there are still thirty percent of the good ones, and there are probably survivors in it." Yufu still insisted on her own opinion.
"The odds are too small, you can calculate, people generally get married and have children in their twenties, three thousand years is one hundred and fifty generations, the first fifty generations let's deduct it, the next hundred generations must be close relatives, each generation of one hundred generations has seventy percent of the possibility of not being as good as parents, this situation is like stepping on a mouse in the room with a foot, one foot can not die, a hundred feet can not step on death?" Zuo Dengfeng tried to make Yufu understand the truth.
"If the mouse is lucky, he may not be able to step on it to death with a hundred feet." Jade Whisk shook her head again.
"Are you deliberately mad at me or are you thinking like that?" Zuo Dengfeng sighed helplessly, how could it be so difficult to talk to such a smart woman as Yufu.
"That's what I thought." Yufu looked at Zuo Dengfeng's helpless expression and was very amused.
"Let's take a gamble, I bet that the people in it will definitely be different from us." Zuo Dengfeng took back the porcelain bowl and stood up and put the wooden box on his back.
"I bet they're no different from us." Jade Whisk also stood up.
"What about the bets?" Zuo Dengfeng opened his mouth angrily.
"You say." Yufu's face was confident.
"If I win, you will be the head of the Maoshan faction." Zuo Dengfeng never forgot to pull the red line for the golden needle.
Hearing this, Yufu frowned suddenly, and looked sideways at Zuo Dengfeng, looking extremely angry.
"I'm playing......" Zuo Dengfeng saw that Yufu's expression was different, and hurriedly explained.
"Okay, if I win, you can put the hosta on me." Yufu interrupted Zuo Dengfeng's words in a cold voice. After finishing speaking, he rubbed his body and swept forward, landed on the bank of the moat to borrow strength, and then crossed the moat and rushed to the ten-zhang high city wall.
Zuo Dengfeng is not a fool, he heard the sound of Yufu's words, and for Zuo Dengfeng, the bet was undoubtedly a hornet's nest, but for Yufu, it was a window paper. Zuo Dengfeng has never had such a headache as now, he feels that he has become a despicable villain invisibly, although the golden needle has hidden some things from him, but Zuo Dengfeng has always regarded him as a big brother, and he has always regarded Yufu as a future sister-in-law, and he doesn't even feel that he should look at the curve through his clothes, so he feels that he has become a brother-in-law who seduces his sister-in-law.
"Meow~" Thirteen saw Zuo Dengfeng carrying a wooden box and turned in a circle, and looked up at him suspiciously.
"Meow, I'm in trouble." Zuo Dengfeng sighed heavily, reached out and grabbed Thirteen and put it on his shoulder, and then quickly chased after it, this matter is completely messed up, no matter who loses or wins, it is all smashed.
After the moat bank landed and borrowed strength, Zuo Dengfeng quickly rushed to the city wall on the other side of the river, and the aura could not be used in the formation to turn or stay in the air, and he had to look at the angle and obliquely go up the wall.
The ten-zhang city wall was nothing to Zuo Dengfeng, and when he swept up the city wall, Yufu was standing on the city wall and looking at the scene inside the city.
"I'm kidding, don't take it seriously." Zuo Dengfeng swept up the wall, and the first thing he saw was the expression of the jade whisk.
"I'm not kidding, you have to take it seriously." Jade Fu didn't turn his head, and the expression on his face was very cold.
"Can you change the bet?" Zuo Dengfeng's IQ was greatly reduced under anxiety.
"It's late." Yu Fu turned his head suddenly, and the frightened Zuo Dengfeng subconsciously took two steps back, he had never seen Yu Fu so angry, at this time he began to regret it, he had not been in contact with Yu Fu for a long time, and he didn't know what her surname was, so he was joking too much.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't say anything more when he heard this, judging from Yufu's expression at the moment and what she said before, she really didn't mean anything about the golden needle, she really shouldn't be blindly enthusiastic, and now she is really angry. At this moment, although Zuo Dengfeng was looking at the city, he was not looking at the scenery, but regretting it, he knew that it would be this situation, and he would rather not suffocate to death without anyone talking than call Yu Fu over, but then again, if he does not contact outsiders all the year round, he should not be suffocated, and it is possible to suffocate madness.
Annoyed for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally shifted his attention to the city under the city wall, the city is square, ten miles square, there are four streets in the city, the cross shape runs through the southeast and northwest, the ancient city is divided into four areas, most of the buildings in the city are stone buildings, which have been preserved by three thousand years of wind and rain, the buildings in the northeast and southeast areas are relatively tall and exquisite, but the number of collapses is also the largest, which shows that wood was used when it was built. The two areas in the northwest and southwest are almost all huge flat-topped stone houses, arranged vertically from east to west and north to south, which are very neat and relatively well preserved.
The huge triangular golden tower is located on the south side of the crossroads in the center of the ancient city, and the bottom occupies half of the area of the southwest and southeast areas, that is, about five miles, and the situation on the north side of the golden tower is currently unknown, because it is a blind spot in sight.
The streets of the ancient city were also overgrown with weeds and trees, and most of the houses were without doors, and the whole ancient city looked dilapidated and desolate at night.
"There are people in the stone building, you lost." The jade whisk probe took out the phoenix hosta from his bosom and handed it to Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and glanced at her when he heard this, although the city was overgrown with weeds, but there was a clearly recognizable path among the weeds, this path led from the direction of the city gate to a two-story stone building in the southeast area, and there was a faint fire in the stone building swaying slightly, which meant that there were people inside.
"To be honest, I wanted you to lose before that, but now I don't think so, but I don't want you to win either." Zuo Dengfeng sighed and shook his head, but did not take the hosta.
"Willing to gamble." The jade whisk did not take back the hosta.
"Have you ever thought about it, if there are really people here, they can leave here at all, why live in this dangerous environment." Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and spoke.
"This place is the closest to the southern edge of the formation, and it is more than a hundred miles, do you think they dare to go out?" Jade Whisk smiled victoriously.
"Our gamble is nullified, I don't want to force you to do things you don't like, and you don't want to force me to do things I can't do." Zuo Dengfeng took the hosta in the hand of the jade whisk and inserted it into her bun.
"I'm kidding you. Say, what clues did you find that made you so confident that you would win. Yufu was stunned for a moment and changed the tone of her speech, trying to make her voice cheerful and natural, in fact, her vocal cords vibrato, she understood Zuo Dengfeng's sad helplessness, and also understood his firm persistence.
"There is a reason for everything, those giants out there can't farm, they can only hunt for food, and in the long run, their mouths have become like wolves, and their sense of sight and smell has become very developed, but have you ever wondered why they don't have ears?" Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile. Some of the words made it clear to him.
"Do you mean that the brass drum outside the stone tower can make a sound that makes them fearful? Over time, they have degraded their sense of hearing? Yufu stretched out his finger and pointed to a big drum outside the stone building, the drum was as big as a mill, and the bronze was the bone, erected outside the house.
"Yes, the path we walked on earlier was less than three feet wide, which happened to be the same width as the copper drum, which means that the people in the stone building often go out with the copper drum, and since they can go out with the copper drum, they will naturally be able to safely approach the edge of the formation and leave. The reason why they didn't leave was because the formation didn't let them out, why didn't the formation let them out, because they were different from people. Zuo Dengfeng said his judgment.
"I don't believe you can guess right when you go back, seeing is believing." Jade Whisk said as he swept down the city walls.
"How can I say I'm guessing?" Zuo Dengfeng followed closely with Thirteen, and the two of them quietly approached the stone building in the southeast area that emitted a faint light under the cover of night......
