During the trip, Xuanyuan asked Bairong Jiao, what would he most want to do if he returned to Taotangqiu Cave in the future? Bairong Jiao was no longer the ignorant monster he was before. He thought about it and replied: "I will eat all the beasts in the cave."
Yes, if alive
If I encounter the same species in the world, I will take them back and let them regenerate and reproduce. There are also some plants and trees that I destroyed, and some of them have disappeared in the cave. If I encounter the same species in the world, I will try to transplant them back.
.”
This answer satisfied both Huwa and Xuanyuan. In fact, Bai Rongjiao at least already knew about some mystical principles of opening up the cave. Xuanyuan and Huwa originally planned to visit various ancient hidden caves, but because Xuanyuan conquered
He took Bai Rong Jiao as his mount, so he did not continue for the time being. He took Bai Rong Jiao to another place among the nine hills of Bayuan, namely the Black and White Qiu.
When heading from Shenmin Qiu to Black and White Qiu, flying over the East China Sea, Bai Rongjiao sighed: "It's so big!"
Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's a bit smaller than before."
The Black and White Hill is located on the south bank of the river outside Baichuan City. It was originally only a few dozen miles away from the East China Sea. When the East China Sea was at its widest, it was of course the years when the floods broke out. It stretched for more than a thousand miles. The Black and White Hill was submerged by the flood at that time, and only one was left.
The top of the mountain. Later, the flood receded, and the Fangfeng clan used the Sky Cutting Blade to open up new waterways in the Wuyun Mountains. The area of the East China Sea was also slowly reduced, and now the shore is about a hundred miles away from the Black and White Hills.
There was no East China Sea in Ba in later generations, but it was still there at this time. It gradually disappeared as the waterways in the Wuyun Mountains were continuously eroded and widened, and the residents of the East China Sea encircled the lakes and hoarded fields for reclamation. The East China Sea disappeared probably more than two thousand years later.
, it is still a vast lake, which certainly makes Bai Rongjiao marvel.
Taking Bai Rong Jiao around Ba Yuan is to give her practical guidance and teach her a lot of things. Although it can be taught with spiritual thoughts and heart seals, Bai Rong Jiao has broken through the prison of heaven and earth and entered a new world. It is not like what others are accustomed to.
A better way is to let her see people and explain the changes in the world at any time.
Flying across the East China Sea and entering the cave of the Immortal Family in Black and White Qiu, the remains of the ancient Kui Dragon that perished in the Heavenly Punishment were still there, which also shocked Bairong Jiao. Huwa had already refined a secret treasure similar to the escape talisman.
After protecting Bai Rongjiao, he passed through the space passage created by Taihao and came directly to Dongting Immortal Palace.
When Xuanyuan ascended three months ago, Huwa beat out all the descendants in the Immortal Palace. Now he has recalled them again and introduced Bai Rongjiao to his fellow disciples, including Huwa's mount Qingniu. Huwa and
Xuanyuan left Bai Rongjiao in Dongting Immortal Palace, and told her to live a good life and stabilize her cultivation, and then go to Kunlun Immortal to find other disciples, especially Ao Guang.
Ao Guang was a black fish in the East China Sea that became a monster. Later, when it broke through the Yangtze River waterway, he was reborn and transformed into a dragon. He also witnessed Wang Yang. His experience was similar to that of Bai Rongjiao in some aspects. The relationship between the two
It also allows for better exchanges and exchanges. In fact, there is also a water tribe demon cultivator in the Dongting Immortal Palace, that is Dianli. Dianli is still the god of Dianshui, but his cultivation level has just reached greatness, and he is still unable to compare with the Bairong Jiao.
Leaving Bai Rongjiao in Dongting Immortal Palace, Huwa and Xuanyuan left again. They came to the shore of the vast ocean between the river and the outlet of Huai River. This area was called the Land of Dongyi in ancient times, and the Hua River where Taihao was born was
The Xu clan flourished here. Later, Taihao was respected as the leader of the alliance by various tribes, and then the theory of China came into being. The subsequent emperors of China were of the Qing Emperor lineage.
When Shaowu claimed to be an angel in Lu Zhang and wanted to canonize Bajun, he once called himself "a descendant of Taihao, a member of the Shaodian clan". In fact, the current emperor of China also calls himself this. Because both the Yan Emperor lineage and the Yellow Emperor lineage claim to be the last generation.
The descendants of Qing Emperor Shaodian inherited the orthodoxy of the Chinese Emperor. Therefore, the Dongyi area was the area where farming civilization was first developed.
Nowadays, the core area of the Chinese Empire has been transferred to the Central Plains, and its territory continues to expand to the west and south. However, this area is still a densely populated area, with pastoral fields scattered around and connected by city walls and villages. The thirty-two places Taihao told Huwa
The largest one in the Xianjia Cave is right here.
Taihao also didn't say what the name of this cave was or what the situation is now. He just gave it to Huwa to open the door. Huwa suspected that Taihao might have opened this cave himself. In Taihao's era
, many ancient immortals had nowhere to ascend, and tried to create their own so-called "immortal world" in the human world, leaving behind various caves. Didn't Taihao himself try it?
The process of opening up the cave can also prove the cultivation. For example, after Shennong became a true immortal, he went down to the lower world again and opened up the small world of Shenfu Gang to cultivate various spiritual plants. Huwa has never heard of the cave opened by Taihao.
There may be a barrier, but he didn't say it.
The cave here is located in the Dongyi land where Taihao grew up, and it is so large in scale. It was probably opened by Taihao to prove his cultivation. But whether this is the case, Huwa can only guess. Maybe he can only go in after entering.
Learn more about the inside story. The size of the cave here is not as big as the small world of Shenfu Gang. It has a radius of about three hundred and less than four hundred miles, but it is still quite big!
There is a mountain range on the plain that extends into the ocean, and there are dense human settlements on both sides of the mountain range. But in this era, no matter how prosperous the area is, there are still large areas of mountains and wilderness in the suburbs, and the population distribution is much sparser compared to later generations. And this kind of place
There are few powerful beasts and monsters in the mountains and wilderness, and they often become a place for nearby villagers to chop firewood, collect medicine, and hunt.
Deep in the mountains with steep terrain, there are also few people. Huwa and Xuanyuan came to the deep mountains. From the top of the mountain, they could see the blue waves in the ocean. The two fell into the deep valley, and their figures suddenly disappeared.
Open the cave door and enter.
The first feeling when entering the cave is that I have gone to the wrong place, as if this is not the land of Dongyi, but deep in southern Xinjiang.
At this time, the climate in the river basin was warmer than that of later generations. To the south of the Central Plains, especially after crossing the river, the climate was hot and humid, plagued by malaria, dense swamps, and infested with poisonous insects, making it unsuitable for human habitation. After Jiuli's defeat, he migrated all the way to
Going south and south, we finally entered Southern Xinjiang, because that was a place no one wanted to go in ancient times.
Now, after hundreds of years of reclamation and changes brought about by various opportunities, the five major tribes of the Li people and the Baiyue tribes have transformed their places to become more and more suitable for human habitation. But in many other places, especially deeper in southern Xinjiang,
The environment is still very harsh.
After Huwa and Xuanyuan entered the cave entrance, they were surrounded by a humid and hot swamp area. The muddy muddy water was covered with rotten branches and leaves. They could also see the corpses of beasts stuck in the mud. Bubbles occasionally emerged from the mud and filled the air.
There is a rotten smell.
There is a lot of wet soil above the water in the swamp, and the vegetation is very lush. There are many plants growing even in the water. There are many vines hanging from the tall plants, and the sky cannot be seen when you look up, and the air circulation is very poor. Not far ahead there is a light
Pink mist filled the air. Since there was no wind in the forest, the mist did not move. It was like a still veil, almost imperceptible, and it was a poisonous miasma.
The footing after entering the portal is quite dry. It looks like a platform out of the swamp, but it is paved with square stone slabs. These stone slabs are also covered with cracks, dead branches, dead leaves, animal feces and
Covered with bones, there was literally no place to stand, while Huwa and Xuanyuan were hanging in the air.
It was obvious that there had been a building here. Judging from the rubble scattered on the platform and in the swamp next to it, there was once an arch above it. This arch was not damaged by external forces, but was damaged by the years, entangled vines, and weathering.
It collapsed on its own. It looked like an abandoned place, but Huwa was surprised and said: "There is still a legacy in this cave."
When he came in, he felt that the Xianjia Dongtian Barrier here was not without an owner. In fact, as long as he did not personally create the Dongtian Barrier, he could not be regarded as the master of the Dongtian in the full sense. He just received its inheritance. Hu
The baby only received the inheritance of opening the portal from Emperor Taihao. If he re-refines this cave world barrier, he can fully control it, just like re-refining an artifact, but it is more difficult than re-refining the artifact.
many.
Huwa is obviously not the only one who has received the inheritance of this cave. Today, there are still people here who control the immortal family's cave barrier, which makes Huwa feel very strange. Because Emperor Taihao told him about this place because the cave here disappeared from the human world.
It has been unknown for a long time.
There was a rustling sound on the surrounding trees and vines and among the rotten leaves in the swamp. Xuanyuan flicked his fingers and the invisible pressure was released, forcing all the approaching poisonous insects back, and the surroundings became quiet again. She obviously didn't like this place very much.
He wrinkled his nose slightly and said, "Let's go out and take a look first."
The two of them used magic to push aside the tree crowns and vines, and flew high into the sky. Huwa unfolded his immortal consciousness and looked around, which further confirmed his previous judgment. Not only has the inheritance of this cave not been broken to this day, but it is also continuing to be opened up.
For Huwa, it is just a door that can be entered and exited, and the door that can communicate with the outside world seems to have been forgotten.
Emperor Taihao told Huwa that the size of this cave is more than three hundred miles and less than four hundred miles in radius. But now that Huwa unfolds his immortal consciousness, it is close to five hundred miles in radius. In ancient times,
The so-called square circle roughly refers to the side length of a square or the diameter of a circle, that is to say, its area has almost doubled.
Of course, this is not a mistake by Emperor Taihao. It can only mean that this cave has been opened up and expanded later. About one-third of the nearly 500-mile radius of the cave is covered with the same kind of malaria and poisonous insects just now.
The haunted desert forest is on this side close to the cave entrance. Not to mention uninhabitable, it is impossible for ordinary people to go deep even if they want to go deep.
Leaving this area, other parts of the cave are intertwined with hills and mountains, scattered with valleys. From a distance, there are actually inhabited villages. The buildings here are very primitive, with stone walls, timbers erected on them, and straw curtains as roofs.
It looks very quaint, but the houses are all very high, almost over three feet.
Huwa and Xuanyuan hid their figures and quietly flew closer to take a look. They found that the residents here were very strange in appearance and not ordinary human beings. They had thick black body hair. The adult men were about two feet tall, and the women were also ten feet and five feet tall.
6. Compared with ordinary people, the proportions of his body are very strange. He has a pair of short legs, even shorter than ordinary people's legs.
Of course, for such a tall person and such short legs, they walk relatively slowly. But these people's arms are surprisingly long, and they can touch the ground without bending down. Ordinary people's arms are divided into two sections: the upper arm and the forearm, and their arms are
But it's three sections, and it seems more flexible to move in all directions.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the wrist bones of these people are different from those of ordinary people. They are not one piece but a long one, forming the third section of the arm. It is obvious that this is a demon clan, and it seems that it has been sealed in this place.
It has been multiplying in the cave sky barrier for a long time and passed through many generations.
Huwa has seen many kinds of monsters. Even the feathered people with wings on their backs have seen two different species in different places, and their origins are generally clear. The monsters are in the realm of transformation.
The descendants of the demon king retain some characteristics of the original demon. Their ability to reproduce is very limited. The formation of a demon clan is often due to the inbreeding of brothers and sisters, and usually does not last for a long time.
This is the first time Huwa has seen such a large-scale demon community. There are dozens of villages scattered in the Dongtian Mountains, with a total population of 7,000. It can almost be called a small country.
People here use the same language as the outside world, but the pronunciation is very different. Even if it is the same language, if the pronunciation habits are different, it will be difficult to understand, but this cannot be difficult for Huwa and Xuan
True immortals like Yuan traveled around various villages and learned the special "dialect" of this place.
Although there are more than 7,000 monsters here, distributed in dozens of villages, there are no market towns, no city walls, and no concept of currency. They don't seem to need these, except for occasional barter exchanges.
.
But they believe in gods. When they return to the village after work every day, they will kneel down and worship at a circular platform in the center of the village, as if they are praying or holding some kind of sacrifice. They will also put food on the platform. This ceremony ends
After that, the leader of the village would distribute the food to everyone. After eating, people would dance around the platform, waving their long arms, twitching their short legs, and singing songs.
Large areas of fields have been opened around the village, but the crops they grow are different from other places. Tiger babies have only been seen in the small world of Shenbu Gang. This kind of grain is very nutritious and tastes good, but it is only suitable for relative
Hot and humid environment, long growth cycle, and low yield.
However, there are only more than 7,000 people living in the cave with a radius of hundreds of miles. They do not pose a big threat to their survival. They have opened up enough fields to grow this kind of grain. In addition,
They also collected the buds of various plants for food, including insects, and occasionally hunted.
After mastering the language used by these people, Huwa and Xuanyuan also learned through their conversations that this demon clan calls itself "Jiang Ben", which seems to have no specific meaning, it is just a name or a sound.
The people of Jiang's tribe don't know how long they have been living here for generations. In their consciousness, even if they have been living here, they don't know the outside world, or that the cave they can see is the whole world. What's interesting is that
, Chiang’s own people actually have the concept of “country”, and they call this place Chiang’s Divine Kingdom.8
