The mountains and rivers are barren, and miasma is everywhere. It is a vast wilderness with the worst environment among the mountains and seas. Of course, this environment is harsh compared to the human race. If we don’t talk about the miasma that cannot be driven away everywhere, if we look at it from a high place, then the scenery is still
Very nice....
The mountains here divide the wilderness, and scattered valleys are lonely in the gaps between three or five mountains. Areas like this can be found everywhere in this vast wilderness.
Of course, this is the land of mountains in Lingnan, not the land where the Fire-Tired Kingdom is located. The mountains and wilderness are intertwined like canine teeth, which can be regarded as a huge feature of the Lingnan wilderness.
A valley lake deep in the mountains is called the Water of Fire Crossing.
Bonfires are rising here. The people who live in the Lingnan wilderness all live in such valleys, lakes, or idle mountains and fields. They are blocked by mountains. Many tribes are separated by a big mountain. They live in it until they grow old and die.
I don’t know the world beyond the mountains.
"I heard that further south, over eight mountains, is Mount **. The Fire Crossing Water will flow along the east, meandering to the south. There is a water called Qingshui, coming from the northwest, from
It originates from the great river, the fire crossing water extends from Qingshui, and will eventually return to Qingshui."
"Mom, where did the green water flow to in the end?"
"? Tushan, the green water will eventually flow to the foot of this mountain, nurturing the tribes there. To the southeast of this mountain, there is a mountain, and there is a tree on the mountain called Luan."
"This tree grows on red rocks. It has yellow stems, red branches, and green leaves... Legend has it that it was a tree planted by the Emperor of Heaven."
"There is a grain of rice in Nanshan, and its name is Jiagu. It is the most beautiful millet in the world... The people who grow it are called the Juhui family. These are some little people. How big are they? They are only the size of your palm...
..”
"How can there be such a small person in the world? Stories are always stories. If one day, I grow up, I will go upstream along the Qingshui River. I will get out of this mountain and see the outside world...
..”
The children gradually fell asleep, and the women also slept peacefully. Only a young man did not fall asleep. He was sitting on the threshold of the house. Below the water tower was the gurgling Huodu Lake.
The young man is called Ya.
Cliff refers to a steep mountainside.
"The clouds are higher than the sky and the mountains are steeper than the walls. The people here have never walked out of the mountains from birth to death."
The young man didn't think this was a good thing. If no one went out, no one would know the stories outside. Everything we know now was brought about by the turmoil decades ago.
At that time, a giant named Chiseltooth passed by here, but he didn't stop too much.
I heard from the old people that the giant was running away from another strong man. The man who was chasing him was very strong. He hadn't eaten for a long time, so he ate the two tribes here and then ran away again.
.
The giant claimed that he had many subordinates in the past, and many tribes relied on him, but they disappeared later.
Later, no one knew whether the pursuer whom Chisel Tooth evaded passed by here.
Maybe the legendary person came and left quietly.
This fire crosses the water, fireflies fly, everything in this mountain and outside the mountains is a story.
Mountains and seas cut off human life.
Although the land of Shu is not connected to the Central Plains by inhabited roads, the people of the land of Shu have never stopped walking out of the land of Shu. When the Shu girls left Shu, there was Xiling, where Lei Zu was born. In the southwestern region, the people protected by Xuan Snake
Although they are almost isolated from the outside world, a lot of information from the outside world can always be conveyed to them after a period of time.
But in the mountains of Lingnan, these small tribes are surrounded by thousands of mountains. The big tribes outside will not know who lives here. Those towering mountains block the tribes from exploring and also trap the people in the mountains.
.
Stories are always stories, and to the outside world, they are like non-existent people.
The old people in the tribe gathered together, and the wizard summoned them, their faces a little gloomy.
The floods in the past few years have affected them. The Huodu water has risen a little, but this is not important. What is important is that the flash floods have caused several gathering points to be washed away. Now the population of the tribe has dropped greatly. Huodu
Of the eleven small fields around the lake, only seven are left.
Where the tribe lives, in the valley where the wizard lives, there is a giant tree called Ganzhi. For the tribe, this is a sacred tree that can give faith. The branches of this tree are fiery red and the leaves are red.
It is yellow, the flowers are white, and the final fruit is black.
The Ganzhi tree that grows for more than a thousand years is called Ganzu. There is a variant of Ganzu called "ancestral torreya". The fruit it bears is a seven-foot pear. It blooms in three thousand years and bears fruit in nine thousand years. Mortals cannot see this kind of tree.
If you accidentally see the fruit, if you eat it, you can live twelve thousand years.
These are all legends. In fact, the fruits produced by Ganzhi trees look like enlarged mulberries.
No one has ever seen a fruit that can live for twelve thousand years.
The old wizard, holding a handful of burnt rotten grass, said some more important things to the other leaders.
"The ancestors foretell the danger, and there will be great danger coming here... The river of fire crossing will dry up..."
The role of rotten grass is similar to that of tortoise shells, used for divination from fireworks, but a leader asked, meaning that decades ago, the giant called Chiseltooth came here and brought disaster to everyone, but
In the end, everyone still didn't leave; many people died in the flash floods in the past few years, but everyone still didn't leave.
It’s not a question of whether to leave or not, but where to move after leaving?
There are mountains in all directions. The tribesmen have migrated. There is no valley, no land for farming, and no food for fishing and hunting. Do you want to die if you leave the mountains?
We were born here, not because we don’t want to get out, but because we can’t get out, so in the end, we also die here.
What can be different this time?
The other old leaders all thought so, and the old wizard's hands were trembling a little:
"Yes...it's a corpse elephant! It's an answer I've never seen before!"
Corpse statues, among the mountains and seas, those that can foreshadow corpse statues are usually those with the status of "divine lords", such as ancient giants such as Tianshenwei, Shebishi, Xingtian... Of course, their own corpse statues,
It also represents some meaning.
For example, Xingtian, also known as the disabled corpse, represents a kind of "omen", that is, "dreaming while sleeping", that is, he will have some foreboding dreams in his dreams, and after waking up, these dreams will definitely happen. Generally speaking,
Before people die, they will see it in their dreams.
Between life and death, there is terror.
"The corpse elephant comes from our ancestors, and our ancestors are warning us to get out of here."
This change is very strange. No one knows what Huodu Lake will become.
It was a simple warning, but it made people uneasy. The wizards were a little afraid, but the old leaders were determined not to move.
In desperation, the next day, when the clouds were about to rise from the mountains and the light fell from the lake, Wu Lai told all but the seven remaining mountains and fields, telling the people of those tribes what kind of warnings the ancestors had given.
