According to the "Kyushu Note", in the bad land of southern Xinjiang, 100,000 mountains stand majestically, separating the north and south. The people of the Central Plains rarely traveled south, first, the roads were steep, and secondly, fierce beasts were rampant, making southern Xinjiang almost a Jedi.

The Divine Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, with jurisdiction over southern Xinjiang, but it has not been governed for thousands of years.

The new emperor ascended the throne, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, the Central Plains is scarce in resources, the fields are barren, and they are close to decay. The new emperor ascended to the heights, looked at the south, pointed out the rivers and mountains, and issued an edict: Whoever can explore the borders of southern Xinjiang, the resources of the baht, the details of the species, and the geometry of the population can be crowned the king of the southern Xinjiang. This edict quickly set off an uproar in the Central Plains, and the dignitaries sent people to the southern Xinjiang to seek the title of king.

The Central Plains has been singing and dancing for nearly a thousand years, the literary style is prevalent, scholars are everywhere, the literati have always had a very high vision, they only like to dance and write ink, and their fame begins with poetry, and their careers are more helpful to articles, and they are quite disdainful of the south.

The land of Wangji, located in the center of the Central Plains, has been built by the emperor of the past generation, more than 100 zhang, and can block millions of heroes. The central imperial tower is more than 500 zhang, and it stands in the sky from afar, and was built in the emperor of the founding father. The new emperor 13, riding the royal car Xiao Kunpeng to rise up, on the top of the imperial tower to show the heavens and the earth, surrounded by the people to kneel and worship.

Legend has it that Emperor Kaizu once built the Heavenly Palace on the central imperial tower, the heavenly palace was suspended on the imperial tower, the city in the sky, and disappeared abruptly after completion, leaving only endless legends.

The land of Wanggi extends in all directions, with a total of eight paths, [***] roads, thirty-two trails, and sixty-four trails. There is a dilapidated academy on the sixty-fourth path, named Songyang Academy, I don't know how many generations it was built in, and it has never come out of the Confucian giants, the people are not prosperous, and now they are even more withered, there is only one gentleman, and the number of disciples is less than ten fingers, all of them are the children of nearby people.

The sixty-fourth trail is the only way to go to southern Xinjiang, the road is long and obstructive, and people can be walked, but there are often more beasts than people on the road. Forced to make a living, Mr. had to set up a tea stall on the side of the road, and as the only talent on 64th Road, he often complained. Who would have thought that now this passer-by is full of people, mostly southbound people in a hurry, running long distances, most of them will stop to rest, Mr. is now a prosperous business, so busy that he has no time to teach.

Among the eight disciples of Songyang Academy, seven have gone home to make a living, and only one remaining disciple is named Zhen Zheng.

Zhen Zheng's family was devoured by a boa when he was playing in Yichuan Lake two years ago, he was studying at the college and survived, only he and an old slave were left at home, Zhen Zheng gave the old slave a large sum of money to let him go home to support the elderly, and since then Zhen Zheng has been alone, hanging alone. Fortunately, the original family was quite wealthy, even if there was no source of income, it was enough for him to eat and drink for more than ten years.

Zhen Zheng is fond of reading, but he doesn't read Lile Zhou Yi, he only likes to read the ambition of the wild monster fairy fox. Mr. has long been accustomed to reading extracurricular books in the academy, and he is too lazy to discipline, and now that he is not teaching, he ignores him.

That evening, Zhen was reading at home with candles, and several dark shadows appeared in front of the door, gloomy through the window paper. Zhen Zheng wanted to get up to check, but unexpectedly, the black shadow broke through the door, his mouth was covered with black cloth, and he held a white blade in his hand, and pounced on Zhen Zheng as soon as he entered the house.

One of the big men said: "There is really only one melon baby in this house, but the gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, and lamp oil are caught by hand!" A big man next to him echoed: "It's still the leader LinkedIn, planning ahead, finding such a fat sheep, and preparing enough gold and silver as a coil for the southbound." ”

Only then did Zhen Zheng realize that he was held hostage by the southbound bandits, not only did he lose his property, but he was afraid that his life would be difficult to preserve. "Gua Wazi, Lao Tzu asks you, where are all your gold and silver jewelry?" asked the bandit leader. Zhen Zheng knew that people were swordsmen and could only let them fish and meat, so he told them happily.

When the bandits collected the money and wanted to kill, they were busy saying: "A few adults want to go south? The southbound road is blocked and long, poisonous insects are everywhere, and fierce beasts are rampant, I grew up here, and I am very familiar with this road, so I can help a few adults reach southern Xinjiang and seek the title of king." The bandit leader thought about it for a while, and saw that Zhen Zheng was weak and not threatening, thinking that this road was indeed difficult to walk, but it was a clever plan to catch people and guide the way, so he agreed.

The moonlight shone the shadows of all things, and several figures hurriedly moved, and it was the bandits and their group. Zhen Zheng walked in front of the road with his hands tied behind his back, constantly being pushed forward, and the bandits had to leave the village before dawn.

The sky was already bright, and after rushing overnight, Zhen Zheng and his party had come to Yichuan Town. Yichuan is a rather large town near the sixty-fourth path, legend has it that there is a god cup in the town, petition to this cup, wishes can be fulfilled, but since ancient times people have not found any god cup in Yichuan, only a joke made by the ancients.

Yichuan town is built next to the mountain, the mountain is called Yichuan Peak, it is the first peak of the Central Plains, the main peak is as high as 10,000 zhang, no one has ever been to the peak, there is a lake next to the mountain, it is called Yichuan Lake, the lake is rippling with blue waves, it is bottomless, it is said to be the first deep water lake in the Central Plains. Legend has it that there is no mountain or lake here, but it is a great change in the world, the soil and stone originally located in Yichuan Lake were instantly "pulled up", standing next to the deep pit, becoming Yichuan Peak, and the deep pit accumulated rainwater over the years and became Yichuan Lake.

In recent years, a giant python has appeared in the lake, nearly 100 zhang long, five or six zhang thick, and a large mouth can almost swallow a big boat. Zhen Zheng's family was buried in the belly of this snake. Now there are no homes in sight near Yichuan Lake, and the population of Yichuan Town has also plummeted, and people who have left their homes can be seen on the road. The leader of the bandits didn't know why, and asked Zhen Zheng the reason, Zhen Zheng just said lightly that in recent years, fierce beasts have been infested here, hurting people's lives.

Zhen Zheng knew that no matter whether the southward journey was successful or not, he would inevitably die, and the surname Suo would die together, and there might be a way to live. Zhen Zheng led the bandits to Yichuan Lake, along the way the life withered, the grass and trees withered yellow, at this time it was the height of summer, but it was a late autumn scene. Seeing this scene, the bandit leader couldn't help but say: "There is a lot of evil here, don't go any further." Zhen Zheng thought for a while and said: "There are indeed other roads leading to southern Xinjiang, but walking from here can save three days' footsteps, and with the wisdom of the leader, he must not be afraid of ghosts and tricks." When the bandit leader heard this, he didn't want to be looked down upon by a kid, so he didn't keep silent even if he was full of doubts, and followed the team.

The height of Yichuan Peak, I am afraid that only by taking the big Kunpeng can reach the top, and it is difficult for manpower to do it. Before arriving at the lake, it is to cover the sky, look up, the clouds and mist are shrouded, you can't look at one of its poles, like the pillar of heaven and earth, like the legendary Buzhou Mountain. Zhen Zheng was infinitely sad in his heart, knowing that there was a dead end ahead and he had to go down, looking at the giant peak in front of him, Zhen Zheng prayed silently, hoping that he could survive.

Seeing that the lake was in front of him, but there was no sign of danger, Zhen Zheng continued to walk along the lake in front, and his heart was very entangled, hoping that the giant python would appear and swallow the bandits, but he didn't know if he could escape from Shekou.

After walking for a long time, the lake was still silent, Zhen Zheng thought that this giant python might not be in the lake, and the plan of killing people with a knife might not work, so he could only think of another way. Suddenly, a great change occurred, the wind was blowing, the sky was dark, the lake was undulating, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake. The bandits were also shocked in the face of this vision of heaven and earth, and they stood at a loss on the spot.

I saw a giant beast as black as ink poking out of the lake, two or three hundred meters long, with two golden giant eyes on its head, the pupils were erect, and they were taller than one person, and there was a huge silver horn in the center of the two eyes. Zhen Zheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed a giant python, and when he saw the silver horn, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Zhen Zhengxi reads the book of Zhiwei, this snake head has horns, it must be a dragon, "Yunhui" has clouds: Jiao, dragon, hornless Jiao. In "The World Speaks New Words: Self-Reform", it is said: Huh, a kind of small dragon with legs in ancient legends. It looks like it's a head.

can see a head with his own eyes, and even be eaten by him, Zhen Zheng doesn't know what it feels like in his heart. In the past, Zhen Zheng still had a grudge against this giant python and hated it for swallowing his family, but now Zhen Zheng can't hold the slightest hatred, and he only has shock and fear in his heart. No matter what Zhen Zheng thought, the bandits had already been frightened and fled in all directions. The dragon's entire body meandered for more than 500 meters, floating on the lake in the air, swaying his body at a high speed, and eating the bandits who fled in all directions in a few bites.

Zhen was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, trying to escape, he saw through his eyes that the mountain-like python was standing in front of him, and he almost sat up in shock, but finally restrained, and the sweat almost soaked the placket of his clothes.

Zhen Zheng scolded in his heart, you are a pervert who is not a snake or a dragon, it is not enough to eat more than a dozen big men, and you don't forget the few taels of meat on the master. Although Zhen Zheng knew that more than a dozen people would definitely not be able to satisfy Qiu Long's appetite. Qiu Long lowered his head and spit out the snake letter, as if he wanted to probe Zhen Zheng's life and death, seeing that the snake letter, which was several times thicker than Zhen Zheng, was about to probe over, Zhen Zheng had fallen into despair. At this time, Yi Chuanfeng seemed to tremble, and Qiu Long suddenly swam back to the lake in a panic, disappearing, and the world was silent.

Zhen Zheng had just escaped, and he was almost paralyzed on the ground with fright, and after a long time, he let out a long breath and calmed down. It is said that if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future, not to mention that you will not die in the face of a legendary monster like Qiu Long. It's just that Zhen Zheng really didn't understand why Qiu Long ran away without eating himself, it seemed that the earth trembled at that time, could it be that Qiu Long thought that there was an earthquake at that time, so he hid in the water?

Zhen Zheng was running in the grove, the surrounding scenery was flowing by, he didn't dare to stop at all, he was worried that the dragon would come out again, he was really scared.

ran for an unknown amount of time, until Zhen Zheng completely lost his strength and sat on the ground, panting. Zhen Zheng thought that he had run far enough, and Qiu Long should not chase after him. Who would have thought that as soon as he raised his head, he was so shocked that he almost fainted, not far in front of him was Yichuan Lake, and Zhen Zheng's location happened to be the place where he got up and ran away, at this time the world was still silent, the lake was calm without the slightest ripple, and a strange atmosphere floated in the air, making Zhen Zheng feel creepy.

Zhen Zheng took a few deep breaths and stood up, he found that there was a faint mist floating in the woods not far away, but there was no just now, the mist gradually worsened, the white became thicker, and finally almost completely submerged the woods, and the white fog spread towards the lake. When things go wrong, there must be demons, Zhen Zheng knows this well. He no longer had the courage to go back, so he had to bite the bullet and head south, trying to make a big circle around the woods.
