Unlike other members of the special operations team stationed in various cities, Ou Zhao is stationed in Qiyang County, a mountain village in Qiyang County to be exact. This really baffles me a little bit. Under my inquiry, Ou Zhaocai told me that he was a member of the special place guarded by the same as the dead fat man Cangyue before, but the location he guarded was not as important as the Three Ancestors Hall guarded by Cangyue, and even if someone made trouble, he couldn't take anything.

The mountain village where Ou Zhao was stationed was actually very close to the col where the treasure was unearthed, only separated by two hills. Master Mao said before that the col is likely to be the tomb of the ancient fire god Zhu Rong, and the five fire fairy clothes unearthed there can also be said to be a confirmation of this conjecture from the side.

The mountain village is not big, there are dozens of families scattered around, but the road is very well repaired, and the mountain village in the south, even in winter, is full of greenery, which is completely different from the bare mountains and bald trees in the north after winter. In the middle of the village, there is a very large fire temple, but from the appearance, this fire temple is not an antiquity, Bai Bing curiously dragged me in to visit, but saw that the door is a golden and brilliant main hall, which enshrines the southern three qi fire De Xingjun Zheng Shen Luo Xuan, surrounded by the tail fire tiger Zhu Zhao, the room fire pig Gao Zhen, the fire monkey Fang Gui, the winged fire snake Wang Jiao, the fire Tianjun Liu Huan five fire gods, I couldn't help frowning when I saw it.

I vaguely remember that there is a bad movie called "Journey to the West" that is repeated three times in a martial arts action, in which there is an uneducated hard-pressed child who is chanting "Zhurong, the god of water, the god of fire works together", now look at this temple, it is as lame as that film, next to the place so close to the tomb of Zhurong, the fire temple that was erected, the temple is actually enshrined in the gods of the fire department after the Romance of the Gods, isn't this a big axe in front of Luban, and a big knife in the temple of Emperor Guan? But the strange thing is that except for the occasional villagers who come in and out of this temple, I didn't see the temple blessing.

Out of this big hall, look back, but it is a small temple with simple doors and windows, although the temple is small, the roof is extraordinarily high, almost as high as three statues. The temple enshrines a majestic face, a statue of a god with a beard like fire, and the inscription on the wall behind the statue reads "Zhurong, the god of fire in the South China Sea" and, the word "South Sea" looks a little different from other words, the color is black-brown, and it seems that someone has painted something on it. It seems that this is the real fire temple, but I don't know why, when it was renovated, it put the main god in the small hall at the back, and let those fire gods sit in the main hall.

"Hey, isn't Zhu Rong an ancient god of fire? Why is it written here that it is the god of fire in the South China Sea? Bai Bing pointed to the line of words on the wall and asked, for these mythological knowledge, she is a layman who is younger than me.

"Well, it's really going back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties." Gao Ting, who was in charge of carrying the double-edged spear on his back, stroked the spear from time to time, chatting with the weapon, Bai Bing and I also had a bit of a tendency along the way, Yu Luo's light bulb was gone, and we chatted more unscrupulously, which suffocated Ou Zhao, who was cheerful by nature, and now he finally had a chance to speak, and hurriedly interjected: "Lu Wang, the founding hero of the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, Jiang Ziya, who we know, once wrote three books, "Taigong Jinkui", "Taigong Conspiracy", and "Taigong Art of War", collectively known as "Taigong Three Books". Among them, there is such a record in the "Taigong Jinkui": the god of the South China Sea said Zhu Rong, the god of the East China Sea said Jumang, the god of the North Sea said Xuanhui, the god of the West Sea harvested, here may be the earliest record of Zhu Rong is the place of the god of the South China Sea, and later someone researched the statement of the god of the South China Sea, found a legend, said that it was the period of Emperor Yao, the flood was monstrous, the mountains were destroyed, and the people of Li lived in dire straits. Emperor Yao ordered Kun to control the flood, speaking of Kun, maybe the two of you are not familiar with it, Mao Lao told me, you are more half-hung about professional knowledge, this Kun, is the father of Dayu who we know to control the water, and he passed the door three times without entering that Dayu. But nine years have passed, and nothing has worked. Later, Kun learned that there was a treasure in the sky called "Xiyang", and as long as he threw a little bit of it into the earth, it would immediately grow, accumulate into mountains, and pile up into embankments, so Kun found a way to go to the sky and steal Xiyang to the world. Plugging the flood with it, the earth finally lost sight of the flood. However, when the Emperor of Heaven knew that the soil had been stolen, he sent the god of fire Zhu Rong to kill Kun in the area of Hayama and recapture the rest of the soil. The Emperor of Heaven also ordered Zhu Rong to monitor the water control in the world, and ordered him to take charge of the power of one side of the water. Since Zhurong is the god of the south, he is one god of water and fire, and he is also the god of the South China Sea. ”

"So that's the case, then, does this South China Sea god have a palace like the Dragon Palace, just like the one in Journey to the West?" Bai Bing was full of curiosity about this thing, after all, she had never seen an immortal, and even I had never seen a immortal. "You say, if Zhu Rong goes to inspect the South China Sea, if he goes to the Dragon Palace, won't the South China Sea become water vapor everywhere?" The latter sentence is told to me.

"Eh, I said beauty, you've seen too many 100,000 bad jokes, Zhurong is not a gourd baby, he would do that kind of stupid thing." Ou Zhao shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, those things are all verified by secular scholars, it is true that the great god of Zhurong is the god of the South China Sea, but the South China Sea is not the South China Sea that we are talking about now." It's the South China Sea that I'm guarding. ”

Ou Zhao is also a master who is not shocking and endless, he said that he is guarding this mountain village, and he said that he is guarding the South China Sea, is it not actually a sea, but a mountain? "You mean the South China Sea is here?"

"That's right, the South China Sea is here." Ou Zhao said, actually closed the door of the small temple, and then picked up a rusty iron lock from the ground next to the door, and locked the door of the small temple from the inside.

"Alas, I said, what are you going to do, lock the door so blatantly, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the temple?" Although I didn't see Miaozhu, he should have done something in the small temple, and it would be bad if someone found out.

"What are you afraid of?" Ou Zhao's expression suddenly dimmed, "There used to be two temple blessings here, but now...... I'm the only one left, don't worry, no one will bother us. Looking at his expression, I suddenly remembered the mound with the wordless monument, silently let go of Bai Bing's hand, and moved to the side, Bai Bing nodded at me very sensibly, indicating that he understood what I meant.

"It's okay, you don't have to do this, I don't think about it that much." Our small movements did not escape Ou Zhao's eyes, he shrugged his shoulders, climbed over the wooden fence, put the index finger of his right hand into his mouth and bit it, and then, pressed his bleeding fingers on the wall, and traced the two words "South China Sea", the original black and brown words were suddenly dyed with a touch of bright red, and it turned out that those black and brown were the blood stains that dried up on these two words. With the last stroke, the position of the statue of Zhurong suddenly heard the sound of "Grara" turning, and the floor under the statue slowly rose, revealing an existence similar to an elevator. Looking at things, they are also hundreds of thousands of years, and I have to admire the creations of our ancestors.

The four of them walked into the "elevator", Ou Zhao pinched a finger, and muttered a "edict" in his mouth, and the "elevator" slowly descended and sent us underground. It seems that this small temple was built so high to match this super-civilized "elevator".

The length is limited, and the elevator actually drops down to the height of a god statue, and below is a pitch-black corridor. Ou Zhao pressed it on the wall next to the road, as if he had pressed a light switch, and a ball of fire appeared on the wall, illuminating the bluestone steps at his feet, and looking at the degree of weathering of this step, it should have been thousands of years old.

"I said, Ou Zhao, it's not like I haven't been to your Vulcan Village, why didn't you bring me here before?" Gao Ting complained with some dissatisfaction about Ou Zhao's unkindness.

"Gao Group, you have wronged me, Li Tou doesn't know about the secret realm of the South China Sea, he didn't tell you, you should find him trouble first, besides, this place is not a tourist attraction, you can't play around, and every time I come in, I have to bite my finger to open the door, how painful it is." It's me and Xiaoyi, since we were children, haven't been to this place a few times. "Xiaoyi is Ou Zhao's girlfriend, I don't know if he is naturally optimistic or if he has suppressed all his sadness in his heart, although he can't hear anything wrong, but he always feels that he owes him something.

After walking diagonally down the passage for half an hour, a corner appeared in the corridor, and when we turned the corner, everyone's mouths were open enough to stuff a duck's egg in except Ou Zhao—what appeared in front of us was a place similar to a beach, except that the "water" of this beach was all quietly flowing lava! And on the edge of the red "sea water" that cannot be seen at a glance, there are two large characters carved out of stone, "South China Sea", which makes all this look rough and heroic.

"This, this is the South China Sea!?" If I hadn't seen these with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined what this place would be, but if this is the South China Sea, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zhu Rong is the god of the South China Sea.

"Damn, that's awesome. Can this thing swim......" Gao Ting also let out an exclamation of some disconnection.

"That's right, among the five elements, the south belongs to the fire, and the so-called South China Sea is not a sea of water composed of non-decant water in the north, but a sea of fire." Ou Zhao's voice was a little proud.

"No, Ou Zhao, why is there such a large sea of lava, which is only more than half a mile away from where we are, but I don't feel hot at all." As a girl, Bai Bing is more sensitive than men in details after all.

Hearing Bai Bing's question, Ou Zhao laughed very presumptuously, "I said beauty, if there is nothing peculiar, then this is just a magma pool at best, how can it be called the South China Sea, come with me, and show you the most peculiar places in the South China Sea." With that, Ou Zhao walked towards the South China Sea, which was made of lava......
