Gonggong country, central Chutian County.

On the plains of thousands of acres between the rivers and rivers, fertile fields can be seen everywhere. The breeze blows, the rice is fragrant, and the dragonflies dance around the dancing rice leaves.

This is the Xuanyan Continent with many mountains and rocks, and it is the famous Chutian Plain.

Thousands of years ago, when Gonggong's body was destroyed in the world and his soul came to the underworld, Emperor Xudu gave him this fertile field, intending to use him to balance Zhurong. Since then, the Gonggong has set up the national capital on this plain.

In the center of the plain, among several scattered hills, there is a huge sinkhole in the shape of a barrel with a radius of more than ten miles, which is located between the two rivers of Yuqu and Yuque that cross from Chutian County.

The sinkhole with a height of hundreds of zhang and a width of a mouth of thousands of zhang is like a giant beast with its head raised and its mouth open, which makes the viewer fall in love and be impressed, and marvel at the magic of nature.

At the edge of the foot of the sinkhole, there is a circular city wall, which encloses the sinkhole. On the outer wall of the sinkhole, the green trees are shady, the jungle covers the sky and the sun, and the strange stones that emerge from the mountain wall are in harmony.

Several waterfalls erupt from among the rocks, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, like Bai Lian across the sky, roaring, extremely spectacular.

After the waterfall falls to the ground, it flows down the mountain to the north and south of the canal, and flows into the clear and transparent Yuque River and Yuqu River.

Amid the shade of the trees, the pavilions and houses rise, and in the tranquility, the cornices loom among the treetops. Among the trees, the mountain roads and stone steps made of smooth stone slabs around the mountain, like stretched cobwebs, connect the houses and pavilions of this mountain.

This is the national capital of the Communist Party of China - Yuque City.

On the top of the sinkhole, a wide square boulder is used to form a ring high wall around the mouth, standing at the mouth of the sinkhole. There are many arrow towers on the wall, and groups of guards in armor are walking around the city wall.

Although the shape of the sinkhole is not unique, the inner wall of the sinkhole is unique.

The inner walls of the other sinkholes are smooth and steep and straight. Only on the inner wall of this sinkhole, the horizontal platform is of different lengths, several zhang in height and width, and the crescent-shaped natural stone platform extends down layer by layer.

The layered shapes resemble layers of terraced rice fields, and they are like pieces of oblique moon scattered in the world.

The stone platforms are all pure white as fat, as smooth as jade, and look at each of them, layer by layer like clouds and snow, giving people the feeling of being dustless.

On the stone platform, there are countless buildings and palaces with strict patterns. Solemn and generous, neat but not rigid, gorgeous but not delicate, stretched but not ostentatious, simple and full of vitality.

In terms of architectural style, it is also very different from the architecture of other vassal states. The first floor and one pavilion, one hall and one hall from bricks to tiles, from beams to columns, are all carved and polished with fine jade jade, even the plaque at the door.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the houses here are all jade houses.

And the roof is all similar to the pagoda-like heavy eaves and spires; on the beams and columns, the carved paintings are not dragons, phoenixes, turtles and cranes, nor fairy grass and qionghua, but all kinds of strange snakes.

Even the stone lions and stone unicorns placed on both sides of the door are not stone lions, stone unicorns, let alone green dragons and basalt and other things, but stone carvings of a man and a woman, with two heads and snake bodies.

The warm jade, in the moment when the cloudy sun shining from the top of the pit, shows the majestic momentum in the brilliance, but also handsome, and the beauty is breathtaking.

This is the Yuque Palace of Gonggong, and the Yuque City outside the Tiankeng is also named after it.

In fact, this large-scale jade house complex was not built by Gonggong himself after coming to the underworld; the Jade Que Palace existed in the era of the ancient gods, and this place was a palace of the ancient gods.

I really don't know, where did the ancient gods find so many exquisite jades back then?

It's just that when Gonggong came to the underworld, there was no ancient god, and his fiefdom happened to be here, so he took such a big advantage.

But strictly speaking, the ultimate use rights of these buildings should belong to Xiao Shizhu.

At the bottom of the middle of the sinkhole, there is a hot spring pond with a radius of about one mile, and the spring in the pond is crystal clear, colorless and tasteless. There are four sides, east and west, north and south, and there are springs everywhere. As the spring erupts, water droplets splash down and the water surface of the pond rises.

The thin but not thick clouds made everything in the pool blurry, and when the sun shone on the cloud, rainbow light appeared in the mist on the water. It has the looming beauty of a fairyland.

On the north shore of the pond, there is a huge stone boat moored, the body of the boat is in the water on all sides, and there is a small stone bridge at the bow of the boat to communicate with the pond bank, like a springboard.

There are two-story buildings on the stone boat, and the beams, pillars, and roof are made of white jade. The wall pillars, the body of the boat is jade, carved with a wave pattern, and the top is decorated with brick carving, which is delicate and gorgeous. Even the details of the floral decoration are realistic.

The bow of the boat is the shape of a giant snake with its mouth open and its teeth, and its whole body is more than ten zhang long, looking like a big snake with green skin, crawling in a hot spring.

This is where the co-workers used to work.

At this moment, in the stone chamber deep in the second floor of the stone boat, there is a human face, hands and feet, and the soul of a snake body, sitting cross-legged on the throne in the depths of the stone chamber.

His upper body skin was blue, his lower body and snake tail were dark color, and his scales shone in the light.

This ghost is one of the princes and kings of the underworld-Gonggong. But in addition to being a little weird, there is no domineering that a hegemon should have, but a little more kind.

And in front of him, there were two other ghosts. One ghost is the first fierce general of the Communist Workers' Republic of China, and the other is a young female ghost, looking at it, but in her early twenties, she is very watery.

Wearing a lilac dress, her delicate skin made her look like a pink carving. It's just that he painted a face with light makeup, and under that indifferent demeanor, there was a faint elegance and vulgarity.

In her hand was a four-foot-long wooden staff, on which were coiled two small snakes carved from jade, with a thin neck and a short tail, and the head of the snake was just resting on the top of the staff.

The carving is so lifelike, even the scales on the body are carved out without falling, which is extremely vivid. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and most people will think that this stone snake is a real green bamboo snake.

At this time, in this stone room with a closed door, there were only three ghosts.

"There is news from the east that Zhurong old ghost will be going to attack us soon. Gonggong's gaze swept away on the faces of Fuyou and the female ghost, and he closed his eyes slightly and asked lightly: "It is said that they have also united the ghost mother country, what do you think?"

"Zhu Rongjun, don't be afraid. After pondering for a long time, Fuyou was the first to speak, frowning and saying in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that it is the ghost mother country that is terrifying. ”。 As he spoke, there was a subtle trace of awe in his eyes, which flashed away.

Since the last time he failed to raid the southern side of Shuoyue Island, he has been studying and investigating the army that defeated him, who is in command?

After several twists and turns, he learned that it was a young soul named Xiao Shizhu who commanded this army, and he was immediately shocked.

Xiao Jiajun's combat ability is so strong, the cooperation between individual soldiers and individual soldiers is extremely tacit, and the response is extremely fast as that of the Xudu Army, and even vaguely surpasses it, such a tiger and wolf division is not at all like a young soul who has no hair on his mouth and is not firm in his work, and can be trained.

Since then, he has been paying attention to the other party, and the three words Xiao Shizhu are also deeply imprinted in the depths of the floating soul, making him feel awe of this little ghost, and at the same time, he is also looking forward to competing with this on the battlefield again.

Especially after hearing that Danshui City, which he hadn't won for a month, was conquered by this little ghost in one day, this expectation sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, spreading madly in the depths of his floating heart, becoming more and more out of control.

Just as he finished speaking, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at his subconsciously clenched fists, and said coldly, "Are you afraid of Xiao Shizhu?" It seems that she has seen through the other party's mind and guessed the other party's thoughts at this glance.

"Hmm. Floating was not frightened, nor was there any shame on his face, but replied lightly: "He is indeed an opponent worth challenging." ”。 The tone was not surprised, it was so plain, and it was a matter of course for him to be able to see through his ghostly mind at a glance at the woman.

"Gu also got information that Xiao Shizhu and Changqin had formulated a plan to concentrate their forces first and attack the northern port of our country. Rather than adopting a strategy of flanking things from left to right. Gonggong turned his eyes to look at Fuyou, smiled slightly, and said: "He knows that our country's rivers are crisscrossed, the navy division is strong, and it is easy for us to break through the cross-border battles; ”。 But in his eyes, there was never a trace of awe.

"There are also drawbacks to not dividing the troops. Fuyou bowed his head slightly, and after a little thought, he said respectfully to the co-workers: "The two countries are united, lack of tacit understanding, didn't we suffer such a loss last time? Xiao Shizhu shouldn't be so stupid, right?"

"The ghost in the west who wants to cooperate with us, said that Xiao Shizhu has thought of a way. After shaking his head slightly, Gonggong stood up, swung his long snake tail, swam to the window, pushed open the carved window, stared at the mist outside the window, and said slowly: "The main attack is to attract the main force of our army to the decisive battle on the sea in the north, and try to destroy the main force of our army's naval division." ”。 After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth curled and chuckled.

In the smile, there is still a little disdain.

"Theoretically, it's really the best way to go. But it will be difficult to carry it out. Let's not talk about the tacit understanding between the two countries in the first joint operation, but when it comes to a decisive battle at sea, we have the upper hand. Floating You was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the doubts in his eyes became more and more serious: "Is this news true?"

"It shouldn't be fake, that ghost needs our help, don't dare to lie to me. Gonggong's affirmative answer made him even more suspicious.

"Then you can come and go. The woman, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.
