After further questioning of the two people, it was finally determined that the big river we encountered before was exactly the river the couple mentioned, which is now the Yangtze River. And the location we are now in is exactly what the couple called the Yangtze River in ancient times.
The place known as Yunmengze is now Fanyang Lake and Dongting Lake.
After asking the direction of the capital of Xia Dynasty, the four people left in a hurry. Walking in a strange world, especially the world more than 4,000 years ago, really made people unable to calm down. Looking at the traffic that should have been eight lanes and six lanes
The asphalt roads running from north to south, and the high-speed trains coming and going, suddenly turned into patches of virgin forest, with birds, animals, fish and insects everywhere, and sparsely populated, rarely seen for hundreds of miles.
Time travel, the simple Chinese explanation is to travel through time and space. Generally speaking, it refers to an event in which someone travels from the time and space to another time and space through a certain process for some reason. In the original world, this is an extremely abstract
vocabulary, but we didn’t expect that one day it would really happen to us. Moreover, it was even more exaggerated than what was written in those time-travel novels, and we actually traveled to the oldest dynasty in China.
"We have traveled through time. We have actually traveled through time..." Xizi seems to have not accepted this reality yet.
Shui Yueqing gently stroked her forehead and looked at the boundless forest in front of her, completely helpless: "What should I do now? I don't have a clue. I don't even know where the way back is."
Da Zhuang sighed: "Although it is very exciting for me to travel through time, I really don't want to come to such a wild world and walk for ten and a half months without seeing anyone."
"We can only take one step at a time. When we get to the capital of Xia Dynasty, we may be able to find out something." I said to the three of them, "Don't worry, I believe we will be able to find a way back."
The capital of the dynasty during the time of Emperor Yu was Daxia. The four of them walked and inquired, and finally saw a small capital city after walking for nearly a month. The walls were not very high, and some slightly taller buildings could be seen in the city.
, there are not many people coming in and out. Seeing this low ancient city, it is difficult to connect it with the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Before entering the city, the four of them exchanged a few pieces of clothing. The strange clothes were too eye-catching in ancient times. The four of them quickly walked around the city. Only then did I realize that historians more than four thousand years later had beautified ancient China.
There are too many, and there are no large palaces like those seen in movies or TV series.
"Mutton, mutton, ten shell coins."
"Axe, bronze axe, bronze hoe exchange."
"In exchange for millet, a bolt of linen and a bag of millet."
There were shouts from time to time on the street, and they were shouts that could only be heard on TV. Xizi looked at the linen cloth placed on both sides of the street stall and couldn't help but shake his head: "Can this linen cloth be worn? It's not as good as animal skin."
"Have you ever noticed that people in the Xia Dynasty all wear similar clothes, with black tops and earthy yellow bottoms," Shui Yueqing said.
I nodded and said with a smile: "The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty in China, with a very strong religious overtones. Its wood virtues became the world, and it was green, which established the shape of the upper garment and the lower garment and the color of the black garment and yellow garment.
.The upper garment represents the sky. Because the sky is black in the dark, the upper garment is black, and the lower garment represents the earth. Since the earth is yellow, the lower garment is yellow.”
"Oh, stop studying culture here and think about what to do? People four thousand years from now don't know about space-time tunnels, let alone those from more than four thousand years ago. What will happen even if they come to the capital?"
Da Zhuang said anxiously.
I have been thinking about this question for a long time. On the way here, I kept thinking about who to ask. The time and space tunnel and the ancient starry sky road should be unknown to officials and civilians. In our world, they know such secrets or have been pursuing them.
There are only those who practice Taoism. Throughout the ages, there are many people who have cultivated Taoism and become immortals. Finding them may be the right solution.
"Look for those hermits who practice Taoism or magicians who make alchemy." I said.
"Are there any well-known Taoist cultivators in this period? The Xia Dynasty, especially the era of Dayu, basically belonged to the mythical period. Are there any ordinary people who know the art of Taoism?" Shui Yueqing asked worriedly.
Xizi patted his little head and said excitedly: "I remembered, yes! There was only one famous Taoist in this period, and that was Fang Hui!" Xizi looked at our shocked faces, and then said, "I don't know if you have heard of ""
There is no "Biography of Immortals", it records the journey from Shennong Shiyu Master Chi Songzi to the West
During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the Xuansu 71 were the names, life experiences and deeds of the Xian family. Fang Hui was one of them, and his deeds continued from Yao to the end of Xia Qi. There were two Xian families who had traces in the entire Xia Dynasty.
The other person is Wu Guang, but he lived in the late Xia Dynasty and we cannot find him."
"Oh my God, Xizi, I discovered how you know so much about ancient Chinese history. You have now been upgraded to a super idol in my mind." Da Zhuang began to use his flattery skills again.
"Where is Fang Hui?" Shui Yueqing asked.
"I have been living in seclusion in Wuzha Mountain." Xizi thought for a while and said, then looked at Da Zhuang and me: "Do the two geography experts know where Wuzha Mountain is?"
Xizi's question really stabilized me. I only knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had Wuzha Palace, but I had never heard of Wuzha Mountain: "Dazhuang, have you heard of it?"
Da Zhuang shook his head: "I have studied Wuzha Palace before, but I have never heard of Wuzha Mountain. I don't know if this is the same place."
"Where is Wuzha Palace?" Shui Yueqing asked hurriedly.
"In our world, Zhouzhi, Shaanxi Province, I can't remember the exact location. It seems to be in some town." Da Zhuang said thoughtfully.
"It should be in a place, let's go, let's go now." Our current location should be Yuncheng, Shanxi more than 4,000 years later, and due west and south is Xi'an. The Wuzha Palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was right next to it.
The Qinling Mountains, with the Weishui River to the north, should be roughly located next to Xi'an.
The four of us didn’t rest because there was no inn here or a teahouse where we could eat. We didn’t even have time to pay a visit to China’s ancient god, Emperor Dayu. The story of Dayu’s flood control has been passed down for thousands of years.
Such a historical figure can be said to have shocked the past and present, and can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
The road to the west is not easy to walk. It is almost over mountains and ridges. The first Taihang Mountain took the four of us nearly a week. However, along the way, we ate a lot of game, many of which we had never seen before.
There are also animals that were listed as first-level protected animals in later generations. Moreover, the Taihang Mountains in this era were much more lush than those in later generations, and there were tall primeval forests everywhere.
After walking over mountains and ridges like this for nearly a month, the four of them finally stopped at a rough location. Xi'an had not been built in Dayu's time, so it was still a wild land with ancient trees and wolves everywhere.
Twisted with vines, large and small
There are countless peaks, and to the south is a big mountain that stretches from east to west, as strong and tall as a horned dragon. Although it is a bit wild, it is filled with rich spiritual energy. Three years of practice has allowed me to easily feel this kind of thing that only a monk can perceive.
thing.
"There are so many mountains here, which one is Wuzha Mountain?" Xizi asked with a frown.
Shui Yueqing also felt worried for a while: "There is no human habitation here, it is completely a wilderness. Can Fang Hui really live in seclusion in such a place?"
"Don't be discouraged, let's go for a walk. Although the population was extremely sparse during Dayu's time, it is possible to encounter a few hunters in the wilderness, just like what we encountered in Yunmengze." Da Zhuang encouraged the two of them.
.
I pinched my chin and was lost in thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "No, we are not where Xi'an is yet. Da Zhuang, have you ever heard of the ancient Luo Kingdom?"
"Yes, yes, yes, my day, I remembered it when you said it. People in our field have studied ancient countries a lot. The ancient Luo Kingdom is rumored to be the hometown of Dayu. By the way, this period must still exist. The ancient Luo Kingdom continues.
It lasted more than 800 years, from the era of Yao and Shun to the demise of the Xia Dynasty. Of course, the era of Yao and Shun also belongs to the mythical part, but it has to last for 500 years in the shortest time." Da Zhuang suddenly said with some excitement.
"Then, where are we going?" Shui Yueqing asked.
"Go west, we still need to go west, but it should be soon." I said to a few people and walked forward first.
Further on, the road became relatively flat. After walking for less than a hundred kilometers, a small city suddenly appeared in front of us. A large number of mud houses were lined up in rows. From a distance, it looked like two large villages merged together.
"This is the ancient Luo Kingdom?" Da Zhuang said looking a little disappointed.
"It should be so. During the time of Dayu, a city of this size was already quite large. You can see in the distance that there are many retail households scattered at the foot of the mountain or along the river. Let's go and have a look." I said.
The four of them quickly arrived at the ancient Luo Kingdom along the dirt road. Of course, the Luo Kingdom at this period could not be called an ancient country. When they arrived, it happened to be noon, and they could not find a restaurant in the city where they could eat.
People had no choice but to buy some vegetables and raw meat with shells at the market, as well as a small bronze cauldron for cooking rice.
After dinner, after inquiring, the four of them found the priest of the Luo Kingdom. The status of the priest in this era was very high. It is said that it is impossible to see such a high-status person in future generations with our status. But okay
The current Emperor of Xia is Dayu, who is good at politics and honest. Although the Luo Kingdom is only a vassal state of Daxia, at least Dayu came from here, so the administration is very clear.
"Where do you come from?" The high priest should be less than fifty years old, but he looked very old, but his words were still polite.
"From Daxia." I said.
When he heard that I came from Daxia, the high priest's eyes lit up: "How is King Yu?"
As soon as I said this, I couldn't help but be stunned. What do you mean? Is it true that everyone in Daxia can easily see Dayu? However, I still said half truthfully and half falsely: "A few of me grew up in the mountains and forests, and very few
Although he is still walking in the world, I was lucky enough to meet King Yu a few years ago. He is in good health and in good spirits. He is truly a blessing to me, the Xia Dynasty."
"Well, it's true that your words are a bit weird, like a person from the mountains. But -" the high priest said and then glanced at Shui Yueqing and Xizi: "These two women are so beautiful and refined, they must not be from this world."
"Ah, oh, sacrifice to the wise eye." The four of them were stunned almost at the same time. It seems that human nature has been like this since ancient times. Men always love beautiful women.
"Hey, what's the matter?" the high priest said with a smile as if nothing had happened.
"May I ask the priest, where is Wuzha Mountain, where the Immortal Fanghui can hide?" I asked.
