Chapter 103, the geography of Kyushu, the city of ten thousand glues

The world of Kyushu in general is probably a circle with a slight arc - it may be so, but it is just a possibility.

This world is boundless, and no matter which way you fly, you will eventually enter a vast and boundless barren land. To the west and north is the barren sand, and to the east and south is the barren sea.

The barren land is boundless, and there were once immortals who flew for decades in one breath and failed to fly to its edge, and finally had to fly back for decades, tired like a dog.

The so-called "Kyushu world is roughly a circle" is a rough map drawn on the edge of the barren land.

As for up and down, down is an endless earth—endless, and you can dig all the way on, with no end in sight. It will pass through the clouds, the wind layer, the sky fire layer, and finally reach the extraterritorial void. The extraterritorial void is vast, dotted with countless stars. From the extraterritorial void, the world of Kyushu is just a star.

But the wonderful thing is that even in the Heavenly Fire Layer, you can see the sun and moon, but once you enter the extraterritorial void, you can't see the sun and moon, only the stars.

Not only that, it is said that people see things from near to big and far from small. From the Kyushu world to the extraterritorial void, the stars must be small and the Kyushu world is huge. But in fact, this is not the case, the world of Kyushu seems to be just a small star, nothing more than close at hand, within reach.

These things are recorded in the "Divine Sutra", and the "Divine Sutra" is an ancient book from the Tianxiong Dynasty, which shows that as early as ancient times, there were immortals who explored all this and came to a preliminary conclusion.

The circle of Kyushu world, the center of the circle is probably in Yizhou - so many Yizhou people think that Yizhou should be called "Zhongzhou", and they like to use the term "Xiazhou" when they call Zhongzhou.

In the Cosmos, that is, in the Circle of the Barren Lands, the land is close to sixty percent, and the ocean is slightly more than forty percent. Sixty percent of the land, Daxia accounts for nearly three-tenths, Tianzhu is more than two-and-a-half, the Western Regions is less than two-tenths, the northern grasslands and snowfields account for nearly two-tenths, and the rest are some three-regardless of the border areas, all of which are mountains, deserts, dense forests, and the like.

Of the 40 percent of the ocean, nearly 70 percent are in the South China Sea, and more than 30 percent are in the East China Sea. Some scholars divide the South China Sea into two parts: "South China Sea and West Sea", roughly the West Sea is counted on the Tianzhu side, and the South China Sea is counted on the Daxia side. Correspondingly, the East China Sea is also divided into the "East Sea" and the "North Sea", with the East China Sea on the Bactria side and the North Sea on the snowy side.

There are many ice floes and icebergs in the North Sea, and those icebergs often do not look like many parts on the water, and the underwater part is quite large, and once the ship hits it, even if it is not damaged, it is easy to get stuck in it, which is very troublesome.

There are many islands in the East China Sea, dotted with countless islands. The people of the East China Sea are centered on the five immortal islands of Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai, and are scattered in countless countries of all sizes—creatures that can live in the sea abound, and they don't necessarily have to live on land. Even among the five immortal islands, the two mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao are also underwater, which are the holy places of the sea tribes led by the dragon clan, and the land races can't even visit if they don't have the ability to avoid water.

There are not as many islands in the South China Sea as in the East China Sea, but they are generally larger. The island is thriving and populated.

Over the years, Great Xia has been working hard to open up the South China Sea and has occupied many large islands. The total local population is even larger than that of the Northland - Pan Long's friends Zhang Hao and Zhang Guozhong were born in the South China Sea.

To the south of the large islands along the coast, there is a relatively large sea area with few islands, called the "Great South Ocean", and further south from that sea area, there are several very large islands, which together are almost equivalent to the land of three states. The locals call it "Mo Luo Yu", Bactria calls it "Java", and Tianzhu calls it "Wu Fan".

Java's sphere of influence spans the Western and South China Seas. They were not a complete country, but were made up of three large states, Java, Luzon, and Malay, as well as a number of smaller states.

Java was the first of the three kingdoms, and it is said that the ancient Javanese Empire once ruled the whole of Java, but it was only later that the state weakened and split into several states.

In terms of strength alone, Java is better than Luzon or Malay, but the two countries join forces and have a slight advantage over Java - it is quite a meaning of another world Shu and Wu uniting against Wei. However, the kings of Luzon and Malay were more brainy, and never backstabbed their allies, but were always able to cooperate sincerely in the big war, which is commendable.

Naturally, there are many masters in the Three Kingdoms of Nanyang, but they are very mixed with shemales, and even no shemales have ever been differentiated-for the monsters, maybe it's a good place?

And the big demon who attracted a large number of masters to round up this time is said to be a resident of a small country in Java. It seems that he wanted to fail in the coup d'état and usurp the throne, and fled with injuries, and fled from the Three Kingdoms of Nanyang to the South China Sea in one go, probably to escape to Daxia to hide.

"This thing is stupid, isn't it?" Pan Long drank a pot of tea, and after listening to the introduction of the tea doctor, he couldn't help muttering, "He can't get along in Java, so he wants to come to our Daxia to mix?

The tea doctor who received Pan Long's silver ingot smiled: "Maybe he thinks that Daxia doesn't fight anyway, so it's too peaceful." ”

Pan Long couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Can the two years of Great Xia be considered peaceful?

Two immortals have died, a lot of real grandmasters have died, and all the sons of heaven have been assassinated, if it weren't for the second son's desperate efforts to block it, now the new emperor has ascended the throne.

This can be considered peaceful, but Java is actually nothing.

At least they didn't die immortals!

"I think his way of understanding the word 'Taiping' may not be the same as ours. Pan Long said, "Our side just had two big chaos in a row last year, and the gods blew up a large piece, and the Son of Heaven was assassinated - the second prince, Di Luonan, lay in bed for several months and almost died. It's not peaceful at all!"

"Could it be that Java is also tossed like this?"

Dr. Tea twisted his black beard, thought for a while, and said, "As far as I know, they have not had a major war in the past few decades, nor have they ever been assassinated by the monarch of a great country, or the martial god of the Zhenguo Kingdom, similar to the immortal, Buddha, and demon god here in Great Xia. ”

"I'll just say it!" Pan Long nodded again and again, "If I were him, I would definitely flee to the East China Sea!"

"It's a good idea to flee to the East China Sea!" Dr. Tea agreed, "but there isn't much land on the East China Sea." ”

"There's not much land?" Pan Long was a little puzzled, "Isn't that big demon a snake? Snakes can't live in the water? ”

Dr. Tea shook his head: "From what I heard, it seems that the real body of that big demon is a terrestrial snake that will drown if you go into the water. ”

Pan Long's eyes widened, and he felt that this thing was a bit ridiculous.

The snake demon who wants to be cultivated to protect his descendants is actually a landlubber who sinks into the water?

"The guest officer came late and didn't know anything. The news has spread. Dr. Tea said, "Now that many decent masters have left, the rest are basically trying to kill snakes and take Neidan." ”

"I see!" Pan Long suddenly realized.

He has been coming to the South China Sea for a few days, but he is flying around in the sky, and almost all he meets and sees are people in the green forest, and he is stunned that he has not seen a few famous and decent masters.

He thought that these decent masters had reached some agreement and were waiting for an opportunity, but it turned out that he found that this snake demon had no cultivation value and left directly.

As for killing demons and taking pills or something, the famous and decent people disdain to do it. The way of cultivation is first in cultivating the mind. A person who ponders "killing" and "robbing" all day long will not be able to go far on the path of righteousness.

True Grandmasters don't have their share, so it's very possible to go mad.

For example, the Suishan Ren family, although they have been trying to cultivate a second real master over the years, Ren Changsheng, as one of the most powerful great masters in the world, has never done anything to kill people and seize treasures or kill demons to take pills. Even when he saw that his life was about to end, he resolutely refused to make an exception in order to cultivate the younger generations of the clan.

This is the conduct of the right way.

Some people may think that this ethics is very stupid, but there are few strong people in the world who cannot adhere to their beliefs.

Those who can't stick to their beliefs have often been eliminated long ago.

Pan Long sighed, said goodbye to this teahouse that was also engaged in intelligence business, went out of the city, stomped his feet, and flew into the sky again.

Looking down from the sky, several large and small islands are scattered across the sea, and many ships travel between the islands, which is quite lively. About twenty or thirty miles to the north is a snake-like coastline. Countless tall trees are scattered all over the place, and the small oval leaves rustle in the sea breeze.

This is the northernmost part of the South China Sea, not far to the east, is the famous city of the South China Sea called "Wanjiao".

Bakelite is a southern tree that produces milky white sap that is soft and elastic when dried, and is used by the locals as a shock-resistant material, which has been purchased and used by the Central Plains. In the early years of the Great Summer, someone invented a special technology that could turn yellow-white raw rubber into black cooked rubber. Cooked rubber is tougher and more wear-resistant than raw rubber, and has better elasticity, waterproof and mothproof, and durable. It is widely used in a variety of situations where seismic stability is required.

Since then, this cooked rubber has become an important production in the south.

Geographically, Jingzhou is closer to the south. However, the dense primeval forest blocked the road, making it difficult for the army to march. Later, it was the Yangzhou Navy Division that took the lead in marching along the coastline and occupying a stronghold on the coast of the South China Sea, which gradually developed and opened up this new territory for Daxia.

In this territory, bakelite is one of the most common cash crops. Wanjiao City is also named because when the city was opened up, it was found that there were a large number of natural bakelite trees around, and it was estimated that there were about 10,000 trees at the time of reporting.

Today, around Wanjiao City, the planting area of bakelite exceeds 1,000 hectares. It can be said that in addition to grain, all other land that can be grown with bakelite is planted with this crop. More than three-quarters of the raw rubber produced here in the entire Great Xia is produced, and it can be called the base camp of the raw rubber in the entire Great Xia.

In the past, the "10,000 glue" is now very inaccurate, about 16 baginwood plants are planted in one acre of field, and 1,600,000 baginwood forests are planted.

It's just that the yield of bakelite is very low, a tree does not exceed five catties a year, and after a long time, the yield will drop greatly. There are so many bakelites outside Wanjiao City, and the raw rubber produced in a year is even less than three million catties, and it has to be processed to become mature glue, so the price of cooked rubber on the market is still surprisingly high.

Even the high-end carriage that Pan Long and Han Feng bought at the beginning only used some cooked rubber in the shockproof parts of the carriage, and did not use rubber tires similar to those commonly used in the world in Pan Long's previous life.

There are several big cities in the South China Sea, the largest of which is naturally located at the southernmost end of the "Jingnan Avenue", Haijiao City, in order to build the road from Jingzhou to the South China Sea, it took nearly a hundred years before and after, and I don't know how many people died. So much so that there is a folk legend that on Jingnan Avenue, there is a dead soul of a folk husband at every step.

However, between the cities in the South China Sea, shipping is the main mode of transportation.

It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to build roads, it's too expensive to build.

Back then, the Jingnan Avenue had left countless infamy. Although it is said that this kind of thing is beneficial in the present generation, who wants to be poked in the backbone and let the latecomers benefit?

Take advantage, everyone likes it. Suffer, everyone doesn't like it.

On this issue, the princes above the temple are no more noble than the high-rollers and robbers in the green forest.

Pan Long sat in the clouds, watching the large and small ships full of murderous mermaids in the green forest, and then going out after replenishing in the port, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Where can I find such headless flies searching everywhere?

No matter how stupid the snake demon is, he knows how to hide his traces. I'm afraid that at this moment, I have already changed my human appearance, hiding in towns and villages.

The South China Sea is so big, it's not easy to find someone who is deliberately hidden!

And, even if they find it, so what?

It's nothing more than being robbed by others.

"These people are busy and don't know that they're just making wedding dresses for other people. He said.

A voice came from afar: "Could it be that the first young master of the contemporary generation also wants to compete for the snake demon's Neidan?"

Pan Long didn't go after the source of this voice, and replied, "I have already cultivated into a real person, and I don't know how to do alchemy. The snake demon's Inner Dan is useless to me. Actually, I'm just here to see the excitement and increase my knowledge. ”

"But if the situation is right, there's nothing wrong with grabbing one, right?"

Pan Long smiled: "I can't swear by this kind of thing, what's more, even if I swear by a curse, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. The voice replied.

"yes, I knew you didn't believe it. Pan Long smiled and said, "But if you swear that you are not interested in the snake demon Neidan, then I will believe it." ”

The voice was silent for a long time before it said, "I hope you keep your word!"

Pan Long just smiled and didn't say anything.

He estimated that he was waiting for the snake demon to appear, and this person's attention was only three points on the snake demon and seven points on himself.

I hope that this person can be sensible at that time, and don't be nervous to come to trouble himself.

Pan Long was too lazy to rob the snake demon Neidan with others, but if someone had to trouble him, he wouldn't mind doing it.

Anyway...... Who is not fighting?

Idle is also idle.
