558.Fortress in the Mountains (The Secret of Longevity for Recommendation Votes)

The history of Jiuzhou can be examined, the earliest was in the Xia Dynasty, and the Xia Dynasty had a book called "The Book of Great Xia Rites", which recorded some of the daily life of the ancients and what they saw and heard.

Because the narrator is a monk, this book is considered to be the earliest account of the cultivation of the human race, and it is all the ancients' cognition of all things in heaven and earth.

Among them, the description of animals is naturally indispensable, but the division of animals in the "Great Xia Rites" is completely different from now, it is simply divided into five categories of "scales and feathers", and the "five insects" are synthesized:

Birds are called "feathered insects", with the phoenix as the leader;

The beasts are called "caterpillars", with the unicorn as the leader;

Insects and aquariums with carapace are called "insects", with spirit turtles as the leader;

Scaly fish, reptiles, and winged insects are called "scale insects", with the dragon as the leader;

Creatures with little hair and scales, such as humans, earthworms, toads, yellow eels, scaleless sea fish, and scaleless snakes, are called "worms" or "worms", with saints as their leaders.

The insects that the servants are rampant are the fifth type of insects among the five insects!

Wang Qilin has not read "The Book of Rites of Great Xia", the content of this book is very lost, the remnants are intermittent, and there is no systematic connection, resulting in the content becoming contradictory and even unbelievable.

But he knew the statement of the five insects, and even knew it for a long time:

Because the folk call the tiger a big worm, the snake a long worm, the lazy man called the lazy worm, the one who loves to read is called a bookworm, and the sparrow is called a small worm......

Of course, men are sometimes called bugs - many places do not have this name, but the man's little baby is called the little finch, where the little finch and the little worm mean the same thing.

Wang Qilin felt strange when he knew these names when he was a child, so he paid attention to the reason, and learned from the old people in the village that there were five insects in ancient times and that all life was insects.

Therefore, he knows the theory of five insects, and also knows that insects, feather insects, caterpillars, etc. are not the names of a kind of insects at all, but a classification.

Faced with the rampant subconscious spitting out of the servants, he told what he knew about the five insects.

After hearing this, the servant shook his head: "Lord Wang, what you said about the "Great Xia Rites" Lao Yu doesn't know, the so-called name of the five insects, Lao Yu knows, but the saying about the five insects is different from your Han people. ”

He then told Wang Qilin about the exposition of the mountain tribes on the ancient times.

The first is that in ancient times, the heavens and the earth were in constant turmoil, trees could walk, and stones could speak.

Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, stones, trees, water and fire, mountains and rivers have not yet been formed, but the shadows of heaven and earth, the shadows of the sun and the moon, the shadows of stones and trees, the shadows of water and fire, the shadows of mountains and rivers, and the shadows of rivers have appeared.

Then, due to the change of breath and voice, a great god named Panguo King was born, Panguo King is one, and after he appeared, he gave birth to heaven and earth, this is two, the moon and stars are three, and the stars are broken and the void is all things in the sky.

In the same way, all things in rivers, lakes and seas are born in water, mountains and peaks are all things, and the land gives birth to deserts, swamps, black soil, red soil and other things.

In this way, all things in the heavens and the earth appeared.

But there were no living beings, at this time the trees could walk and the stones could talk, but they did not have intelligence, so the Panguo King let the trees and stones combine their aura, and together they gave birth to five eggs!

Five kinds of insects crawled out of five broken eggs, the first is a feather insect, and the feather insect turns into ten thousand species, flying to the sky.

The second is the caterpillar, which turns into ten thousand species and jumps into the jungle.

The third is insects, which are insectized into thousands of species and burrow into the ground.

The fourth is the scale insects, which turn into 10,000 species and jump into the clear water.

The fifth is the insects, which are transformed into ten thousand species and walk between heaven and earth......

This account exists in the form of a poem, and the rampant voice of the servant is low, the words are clear, and the rhythm is full of rhyme, and Wang Qilin feels quite good when he listens to it.

Eight Meow was lying on a stone with Erlang's legs crossed, a fat paw beating to the rhythm on his little belly, squinting and crooked his mouth, hanging Erlang should be like a stupid son of a landlord who listens to a small song.

Shihe has been probing his brain at the entrance of the cave, and this little worm wants to drill the hole.

He stopped, and said: "This is called "The Founding Record", which is the earliest epic description of all things in heaven and earth in our mountain, and it was handed down by the king of Panguo. ”

Wang Qilin said: "The king of Panguo you are talking about is the ancestor of our Han people, Pangu, right?"

The servant shook his head rampantly and said, "I don't know, maybe it's true, the common ancestor of all things is the king of Panguo, and Panguo Pangu is just a little difference in accent." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Is there a detailed account of the five insects in your "Founding Record?" How do you know that this little insect on my shoulder is a worm?"

The servant said: "The "Founding Record" does not specifically describe what the five insects look like, but our clan also has the ancestral secret realm, and there are many murals in the secret realm, and there are pictures of the five insects in it. ”

He pointed to Shiyu and said: "This is the case with the worm, it can change from one eye to two eyes, from two eyes to one eye, and the most important thing is that the old decay has a natal worm, and when the old decay sees it, the natal worm has a close heart to it, which is the ability of the five insects." ”

"The five insects are the ancestors of ten thousand insects, and ten thousand insects cannot attack the insects of their own ancestors, this is the rule. ”

Wang Qilin suddenly thought of an incident when he first got Shihe.

At that time, he was still in the Uehara Mansion, and once he went to the Yinjiang Post Office to find Taiba, and was stopped by an iron captain, whose weapon was a vip, and when Shi'a entered his body, the violin snake did not attack him again.

Most snakes have scales and belong to scale insects, but the piano snake has no scales, and the whole body is silver and white and can be turned into a silver spear, it is a worm!

He continued to think about it, and then he and Xu Da went down into the yin road together and met a group of ghosts who wanted to escape from the yin road.

Another time to use Shihe, he used Shihe to persuade the Goldfinch Bird, the Goldfinch is not a worm, but it is the same ten thousand insects, it was after Shihe entered his body, the Goldfinch had a good impression of him, and was willing to negotiate with him to make a sword for him.

There is also the python god, he is not a worm, so at that time he used ten to persuade the python god, the python god refused to agree at first, but finally succumbed under the threat of violence.

If you think about it carefully, the python god is one of the eight tribes of the Heavenly Dragon, and he has a strong temperament, so he shouldn't be so easy to convince himself.

The reason why he will be soft is that he himself has a good impression of Wang Qilin, and in this case, if he doesn't give in, he will be beaten by the Asura reckless man and the kinarana warmongers, so he chooses to give in.

Wang Qilin also thought of the pulse that turned into Qin Tao's identity and chased and killed several scholars, pulse wang was a demon turned into a bookworm silverfish, and he showed unusual closeness when he first saw Shihe.

The name of the silverfish is not a fish that does not belong to the scale insect, it is an insect, but it is a worm after it turns into a human, so it will be so affectionate to Shihe.

And then he found that he could even understand the ghost after Shihe got into his ears, so he once asked Shihe to get into his ears to listen to the sounds of Eight Meow and Ninety-Six, but the fart didn't understand.

Now the reason is out, Eight Meow and Nine-Six are not insects but caterpillars, and Ten Meow doesn't work for them!

After synthesizing many ideas and solving many mysteries, he finally understood the identity of Shihe, which was the insect of the five ancient insects!

However, he understood this truth, so he shook his head categorically and said, "He is not a worm, he is just a strange snake." You see, if according to what you said, he is a worm, then I have a worm, why am I still being hunted down? When I fought with the three-pointed village before, the scorpion they released also bit me!"

The servant said rampantly: "Yes, some people are chasing you, and scorpions are also biting you, but what does this have to do with the insects? They are not chasing and killing the insects, nor are they trying to bite the insects, but to deal with you." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin knew that the locals didn't know much about the five insects, and they didn't know that the insects could burrow into people's bodies to make people have some strange abilities.

I don't know if it's right, he didn't say much, but just said to the servant: "Whether it's a worm or not, the official doesn't want its existence to be exposed, do you understand what the official means?"

The servant nodded calmly: "The old man is not a talkative person. ”

Wang Qilin patted his arm affectionately and said: "Old man, now you are the only one who knows that I am a pet, and you are the only one who thinks he is a worm, so if there is news from the outside world that he is a worm, then I have to think that you spread the news indiscriminately, you understand what I mean, right?"

The servant continued to nod: "Understand, if the relevant news is revealed, you will kill me." ”

"You still don't understand," Wang Qilin smiled, "I mean that when the news is revealed, I will unite with Jiuli to cut down the grass and eradicate your Daheitong!"

The servant stared at him rampantly and said, "In this way, there is one thing that the old man cannot do. ”

Wang Qilin immediately said: "But as long as you keep this secret, I, Guanfengwei, will be your hardcore ally of Daheidong, and I dare to promise you that when I come to Shu County this time, I will clean up Jiulitong!"

"Didn't they all say that King Zhen is the backer of Jiulitong? Believe me, I will clean up their backer!"

The servant said rampantly: "Okay, the old man will inform you of this. The old man originally brought you up to fulfill Miao Songyun's promise to you and let your dragon be reborn. ”

Wang Qilin asked in confusion, "Who is Miao Songyun?"

The servant explained: "Miao Songyun is the Heavenly Master of the Three-Pointed Village, you don't know his name? As for the dragon, he is another spirit insect that you raised, a big snake with scales on its head that can stand up into a crown. ”

Wang Qilin suddenly said: "It turns out that the big snake is called Qilong, but that big snake is not mine, it belongs to Lord Xu." ”

He finally understood the reason why the servants were rampant and called him up the cliff: "You asked me to come up, did you want to fulfill that Heavenly Master's promise and improve the cultivation of the dragon?"

The servant looked down in embarrassment, and Xu Dazheng looked up stupidly below, and the two looked at each other.

The wind blew, and his hair was disheveled.

Wang Qilin asked, "What method do you want to use to reincarnate the dragon?"

The servant rampant came back and pointed to the exposed cave, and said: "Below is the white coffin of the red and black pupil village, the white coffin contains the essence of ten thousand poisons, you Han people call it ten thousand poison essence, we call it Yu Lu." This thing is highly poisonous to people and beasts, colorless, tasteless, and extremely terrifying. ”

"But it's a great tonic for snakesβ€”and it's a great tonic for insects. ”

Wang Qilin immediately put down the ten he's who was about to move: "Rush to the hole, baby, go make up for it." ”

Every tonic is a matter of him and eight meows and ninety-six, for example, yesterday Suisui Niangzi caught another deer and got three deer, Wang Qilin ate kidneys and eight meows ate deer whips and ninety-six ate deer treasures, and he didn't have to eat it, so he only mixed a mouthful of deer blood.

Now Wang Qilin always feels that it is very empty, so there are opportunities and conditions for tonic today, so he must make up for it.

Shihe jumped.

Wang Qilin frowned and asked, "How did it come up?" This stone cave looks smooth. ”

The servant said expressionlessly: "The old man thought that you would tie a fishing line to it, put it in a hole, and then pull the fishing line and bring it up." ”

Wang Qilin suddenly realized, good idea.

It's a pity that now Shiyu has already scored a hole-in-one.

But this doesn't mean that this method is useless, he was quite worried that something would happen to Shihe, so he found a long rope, tied up Ba Meow, and said to Ba Meow: "You go down to see the situation, in case Shi He is in danger, you have to save it." ”

Eight Meow looked at him in confusion: What happened to the cub?

Wang Qilin rubbed his little brain and said, "Don't worry, isn't Dad here? Dad will help you." When the time comes, Dad will shout and cheer you on, you have to hear clearly. ”

Eight Meow turned around and ran, and the soles of his feet were windy.

It's a pity that he was tied with a rope and dragged back.

Wang Qilin said: "You can't be like this, it's your little brother, men have to protect their little brother, it may also be your sister, if it's your sister, your sister will transform in the future, maybe it will become a white and tender little cat." ”

Eight Meow's eyes immediately widened, and he smiled obscenely: Wonderful!

Then he took a deep breath and jumped into the hole.

After a while, it was getting dark, and the rope was pulled.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin hurriedly pulled it up, and finally pulled out the eight meows back and forth.

But there is no ten.

This frightened Wang Qilin: "Wucao, cub, what about your second aunt?"

Eight Meow gave him a tacit squint, and the corners of his mouth raised his eyebrows at him - it was just the same virtue as Xu Da!

It opened its mouth, and Shiha appeared.

Shiyu has changed, its body used to be translucent, as if it was carved from the finest jade.

Now it has a colorful hue inside it, like a glass stick that changes color.

And then it fell into a deep sleep.

The servant said rampantly: "Lord Wang, the old man didn't deceive you, did he? ”

Wang Qilin asked worriedly, "It's not going to die, is it?"

The servants wept and laughed rampantly: "How is it possible? If it is dead, the old decay will bury it!"

Wang Qilin was in awe, the old man was fierce enough.

Thinking that he could leave in this way, the servant shook his head rampantly, saying that he still had something to do:

He split the rubble and threw pieces of rubble into the cave at the top of the cliff.

Wang Qilin asked, "You want to block this cave?"

The servant said sadly: "Yes, the red and black pupils are gone, and the dew that has accumulated in their white coffins for thousands of years is gone." This coffin is the last trace, and it is time to erase this trace, so as not to be remembered by outsiders and disturb the peace of the deceased. ”

People contributed Yu Lu to themselves, Wang Qilin must remember the good of others, he used eight swords to bombard stones, so that the servants can fill the stones rampantly.

Under the operation, he suddenly realized that these eight swords are very useful, they can blow up fish and open mountains, but it is not suitable to kill people.

The cave was eventually filled, and by this time it was already full of stars.

The servants thanked him rampantly, and Wang Qilin asked, "Great Sage, is your dew very precious?"

Hearing this, the servant laughed rampantly: "Of course, Lord Wang, you should know that we Daheidong people are not greedy for money and lustful, but only like to raise poisonous insects." For everyone, the natal poisonous insect is a person's greatest wealth and the most precious treasure. ”

"Yu Lu is the accumulation of all the treasures in the history of a village, do you think it is precious?"

Wang Qilin nodded thoughtfully.

The servant stared at him vigilantly and said: "Lord Wang, the ugly words are in front of you, this Yulu is the secret treasure of all the tribes of my Great Black Mountain, whoever wants to touch it, then our Great Black Mountain will be incompatible with whom, and we will definitely do our best to deal with him!"

Wang Qilin said: "I understand, taking it without telling is a thief, and the white coffin is the place where you bury your ancestors, which is also a cemetery, so to steal the dew is to rob the tomb, which is an unforgivable felony in our court law!"

"And this official, it is incompatible with evil!" he waved his fist to the sky, and Eight Meow stood up and punched, especially cooperative.

The servant couldn't help but look at it twice: "Your cat has a really strong sense of existence, did it grow up in the troupe? There are so many plays, one set after another." ”

They jumped off the cliff, and there was already food below, and there was a lot of food for grilled fish, pheasant, and hare.

Wang Qilin wanted to grab a chicken leg to eat, and Suisui said: "Don't eat meat all the time, eat some rice, there was rice left at noon, so the slave family made you an egg fried rice." ”

As if in a trick, she waved her palm into a large bowl full of fried rice.

Wang Qilin brought it over and was ready to eat, and after pulling it twice, he asked, "Why doesn't this egg fried rice have eggs? This is meat fried rice, right?"

Suisui Niangzi smiled: "It's egg fried rice, eat it quickly." ”

Eight meows pulled Wang Qilin's arm and ran up, trying to stretch his neck and salivate to see the rice bowl, after seeing it clearly, it snorted, silently fell down and twisted his waist under his crotch and ran to find black beans to rub rice.

Black Bean saw him coming to protect his bowl and warned it, "Old Ba, do you want to take food from the tiger's mouth? I think you are going to kill yourself!"

After they had eaten and had eaten, they set out on the road in the night, and the servants were rampant in guiding the way, and the young men ran fast.

The mountain road, which was expected to take twelve hours, arrived in only half an hour, and they could even have another dinner with the village.

The village where the servants are rampant is called the village of the bureaucrats, which is different from Wang Qilin's imagination, this is not a very big village, it is a very unique village, and it is a village that he has never seen or even thought of!

A stockade that hollowed out the mountain!

Running all the way to the village, the terrain gradually eased, and there were many mountains but no longer steep.

This kind of place is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not a good place for deep mountain villages such as Dahei and Jiuli Mountain, because the mountains are too chaotic, and each mountain village can only rely on its own strength to defend it, and the yamen and the imperial court soldiers and horses can't take care of it.

This is also the reason why the mountain tribes do not urinate the imperial court - we can't count on you when we are threatened by bandits, bandits, and rogues, but when it comes time to collect grain and taxes, you come?

Let's eat fart!

The village that Wang Qilin saw along the way, whether it was Yulu Village or Red and Black Pupil Village, occupied the dangerous mountain and defended it according to the danger.

This is not the case with the Servant Village, where its own hill and the surrounding hills are not too high, and where there are official roads passing through it, where horse thieves can even charge with cavalry.

But it is delusional to storm the bureaucratic village, and this village has directly hollowed out a unique mountain.

The mountain peak is tall, shaped like a pagoda, it is all blue and white light gray granite texture, the momentum is majestic, the mountain is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom, and the layers are full of rooms.

When he rushed to the stockade at night, Wang Qilin looked intently and saw candlelight coming out of the doors and windows of the room, as if the mountain had turned into a huge red candle.

On the whole, the mountain peak is divided into two sections, it goes straight up and down, full of traces of knives and axes, and the arc of the mountain peak should be done by man.

The upper part of the cave is very interesting, some of the holes are large, and the livestock are placed with weapons and farm tools, and some of the holes are small, Wang Qilin feels that he can only get into a dog.

Ma Ming is an expert, he looked at it and said: "Those small holes are prepared for war, Seventh Master Xu, you see, the distribution of the holes looks random, but in fact, they are all designed with great effort, to ensure that the wooden ladder is erected from anywhere, you can stretch out a fork from the hole to push down the wooden ladder, and there is no dead angle in their distribution." ”

In the event of a battle, the enemy must set up a wooden ladder to climb up the stockade if it wants to enter the stockade.

But there are many small caves in the mountain below, which are small from the outside, and there is a world inside that can be accessed from other rooms.

As Ma Ming said, if someone climbs with a wooden ladder, the stockade can push them away by simply placing human hands in the hole.

If no one is climbing the ladder, these are the shooting ports, and they can fire with their crossbow arrows without fear of being hit by stray arrows from outside.

In short, what appeared in front of everyone was a war fortress, a dangerous place that Wang Qilin had never seen before!
