Chapter 2 Kyushu world setting

He heard the first drop of water fall. It fell into the vast dark void, which may be a huge underground cavity, where the earth's crust is intertwined, and thousands of miles of rocky mountains grind together, making a loud sound.The mountains are gestating, rolling, and being driven underground, waiting for the moment when they break through the ground. The flames splashed out, and before there were plains and mountains, the fire and water collided directly, and the white mist rose to the sky, and was torn by the storm in the air, forming various huge and bizarre shapes. The rain began to fall. Who has seen how the second and third drops of water in the world came.Who is lucky enough to look up when the first rain falls, because the rain has not stopped since then, and has been falling for millions of years.

Then the sea appeared, boundless, without such a thing as land.The gas erupted from the canyon in the deep sea, and one after another bulge was continuously formed on the sea surface, each several tens of miles high, and then exploded, and the huge water wave collapsed, smashing the low-moving dark clouds. The sea water boiled for tens of thousands of years before it stopped, and finally the world fell into silence.Dark clouds covered the sky, and the sea was dark. Only in the deepest part of the earth's core was it bright, and the fiery core of the earth was rolling to complete its final shape.

But on the distant surface, everything is still silent, silent, without a breath of wind, and the Wuyun Mountain stands still, only piling up, piling up, one thousand years, until the top of the sky, five thousand years, until it completely fills up the sky . I don't know who coughed lightly.Have it?It is true that there is no life, but the cloud covering the entire dome suddenly collapsed, the wind came out, the thunder and lightning ran out, everyone laughed loudly, tearing the curtain to pieces... And so the earth—just like that—appeared. This is our earth.It's still scorching hot and the rain is puffing up white smoke, but just be patient and you'll see the moment when the first flowers bloom.The flower will not know who separated the sky and the earth for this moment, and who moved billions of soil and water from the void.

This is boundless. ... When it's time, he spreads his wings. There is no God, no creator, no gods, the moment there is light, there is singing. The great creation begins here. astronomical The earth is like an endless scroll. When you embark on a long road, if you don't turn back, you will never return to the starting point.And when you sit and rest, the water and land are also moving away with the passage of time, going to the depths of history.The relationship between time and space is like an ever-rotating scroll, where layers of past history overlap with layers of the sky, secretly affecting the trajectory of stars.

When people on the earth look up at the sky, what they see is not just the sun or the moon, but the three stars and nine stars alternate in the sky.The three stars are the fiery and bright sun, the extremely dark Gu Xuan, and the twin moons that accompany but never meet (a double star composed of a bright moon and a dark moon).And Jiuxingque is nine huge constellations, namely: Shang, Han, Ning, Zhong, Lan, Wan, Yue, Yun, and Lei. In different ages, their brightness alternates between light and dark, affecting the drift of clouds, the fluctuation of sea water, and the ups and downs of the earth.In mythology, it is believed that each of the nine stars has a palace in the sky, and each has an automatically operating astrolabe, and the movement and direction of the planets on it dominate the fortunes and fortunes of Kyushu.

In addition, there are many huge auxiliary stars such as Yufei, Genbai, Miluo, Tianxi, Huanhua, and Lizhang. Their halos can be faintly seen even in the daytime. At dusk on some special days, the sky is brilliant and streamer. The stars danced in huge streamers, and the sky was like a carnival of gods.And at night, the sky is dominated by Gu Xuan, who absorbs all light, and the light of the nebulae is absorbed and weakened. Except for the main stars that still have huge elegant halos, the other stars are like large and small diamonds that are randomly scattered on the black cloth .The huge star clusters they form are like clouds in the wind, constantly changing shapes and gathering and dispersing.Sometimes it changes beyond recognition overnight, and sometimes it remains unchanged for thousands of years.

Because of their light, the sky in Kyushu is not always blue or white. When people see the changing sky color and the light and dark halo shapes of the main stars, they will know what changes the star power may bring to this earth, maybe It's the rainy season, maybe it's a storm, maybe it's an era of mild climate and stable breeding. geography People think that the stars in the sky correspond to the mountains and rivers on the earth, so the ancient dynasty that first divided the world of Kyushu divided the land owned by this dynasty into Kyushu according to the mapping of the nine stars. This is: Shangzhou, Han State, Ningzhou, Zhongzhou, Lanzhou, Wanzhou, Yuezhou, Leizhou, Yunzhou.

Kyushu is not the whole of the earth, because the earth is infinite.But the ancient dynasty founders believed that this territory was the center of the earth.It is said that Kyushu was contiguous in ancient times, but because of the melting of glaciers covering the land and the rise of sea water, and the emperors of ancient dynasties mistakenly dug a canal leading to the sea, causing the sea water to flow backward, Kyushu was divided into three inland seas. Northland, Eastland and Westland. The area unit of Kyushu is extension (100 square miles). The east land is about 540,000 tao, the north land is about 360,000 tao, and the west land is about 250,000 tao.

(Currently, it is set that one Kyushu Li is the same as one Huali, and one expansion is 100 square miles, which is equal to 25 square kilometers in reality. The three seas are about 40 million square kilometers.) Race Did God create the world?Or are the stars and the earth all grown from the vastness?No one knows, because no one can prove the existence of gods, they only exist in the legends of the various races in this land. The six major clans in the vast Kyushu world are Ren, Yu, Kuafu, Heluo, Mei, and Yu.Regarding their origin, the legends of each ethnic group are different, but they have a wonderful commonality.

Human Mythology: Heaven and earth were originally an egg, and the giant Pangu opened the sky in the egg, and Nuwa created man.Nuwa molded the human race out of fine clay; carved Kuafu out of stone; burned the river network out of black mud; weaved the feather race out of grass leaves; and finally the remaining materials were scattered everywhere to form other creatures: for example After being eaten by fish that rushed into the sea, the fish turned into a human and became a shark. Kuafu Myth: Pangu opened the sky, and after Pangu fell, his flesh and blood turned into mountains, his blood into rivers, his hair into forests, and his eyes, teeth, ears, nose, and mouth into the five wonders of the earth.The Kuafu family jumped out of Pangu's mouth, the human family came out of his hands, the Yu family flew out of his hair, and the soles of his feet came out of the river network.Because of the isolation from the sea, the existence of the sharks was ignored in their mythology.

Heluo Myth: The earth is the furnace of the goddess, and there is a raging fire in the center of the earth, and all ethnic groups are fired from the furnace.The river network was naturally produced in the first furnace, so the goddess gave them fire.And give soil to the human race, wind to the feather race, and water to the shark race.The charm is formed by the smoke from the stove. The myth of the Yu tribe: the earth was originally an egg, and suddenly at a certain moment the sky opened up, the clean air rose, the turbid air fell, the rising wind combined with the stars to give birth to the Yu tribe, and the people on the ground are too far away from the stars, so they are doomed There is no power to fly.But the Yu clan also lost the protection of the earth because of this, and wanted to wander about. Charm: Because it is condensed from nothingness, non-races have no blood relationship, cannot reproduce and have no inheritance, so there is no culture at all.But they think that they are the aura of the earth, and they condense only to experience the feeling and understand the world. Merman Myth: In the past, the world was full of water, which was the world of Merman. Suddenly one day the sky broke, and huge rocks and soil fell, and what emerged from the water became the earth.Some mermen were curious, walked to the land, went farther and farther, and even forgot to go home.Over time, the caudal fin becomes a leg, and it can no longer return to the hometown of the sea. Terran: The human race does not have the wings of the Yu race, the height of Kuafu, the miraculous skills of Heluo, the supernatural power of Mei, and the good water of the mermaids, but they are the race with the largest number, the widest distribution, and the most developed social system.Hanzhou, Zhongzhou, Lanzhou, Wanzhou, and Yuezhou are all dominated by the human race. The human race is divided into Eastlanders, Northlanders and Westlanders.Donglu people value etiquette and righteousness, read poetry, wear long robes with wide sleeves, play the piano and paint, and take farming as the cornerstone of society.The Beilu people live as nomads, and most of them live on the Hanzhou prairie. Their folk customs are fierce, they like strong wine, and they like long songs. They are called barbarians by the Dong people.There is a wide strait between Donglu and Hokuriku, also known as the Tiantuo River. It has witnessed repeated conquests from the north to the south, and the rise and fall of grievances and enmities. And Westland is a land of mystery.Legend has it that there used to be a brilliant civilization, but because of the plague, only ruins were left in the forest. Feather family: A race mentioned in the Shan Hai Jing.When Yuren needs to fly, he can condense the wings crystallized by spiritual power on his back, and when he stops, the wings dissipate, fall and melt away.They use lunar power to fly, and their flying abilities vary according to their physique and bloodlines. Most of the feathered people can only condense their wings on the day when the lunar power is strongest every year, and one-third of the feathered people can fly on the lunar power of each month. Flying on the strongest day, only a few Yuren can condense their wings once a day, and those Yuzu who can condense their wings to fly at any time are one in a million. The bones of the Yu race are hollow, their bodies are light and thin, and their weight is only half that of the human race, so they are definitely not rivals of other races in terms of muscle strength.Their strengths lie in agility and the ability to condense their wings. When the Yu Clan was not flying, the feathers condensed by mental power scattered and gradually melted like ice without leaving any traces. The Yu people live in the forest, they don't cut down trees, they don't shoot birds.Their dwellings are living houses, formed by the subtly growing guide shoots.The Yu tribe is scattered in the boundless forest of Ningzhou in the form of city-states.Due to the loose nature of Yuren, although there is a royal family, they are usually unable to restrain the city-states, and it is difficult to implement a unified government order or organize a large-scale army. The Yu people yearn for the distance, but they are a family of wandering and rootless people. They can fly into the sky, but it is difficult for them to gain a foothold on the earth. Kuafu: A race of giants, so named because they are said to be descendants of the mythical giant Kuafu.Legend has it that they can grow infinitely taller, but most of the Kuafu clan can only grow to twice the height of humans. The appearance of mountain-like giants requires special events or extremely long lifespans. The Kuafu family is rare in number, withdrawn and reticent.Most of them live independently as a family unit, rarely live in groups, and mostly live by hunting.Sometimes Kuafu would choose his own leader, but without a complete institutional and social system, he was still in the state of a primitive clan. The number of this race has always been very small, only one percent of the human race, and it is scattered in the snow-capped plateau of Shangzhou in the North, and it is very rare in other places. The severe cold has made the Kuafu family strong and resilient, just like their day-to-day ancestors. Once they set their goals, no one can stop them. They step across mountains and rivers with huge feet. River network: A slender race, half the height of a human race.But the network's wisdom and skill more than made up for it.They are the most pioneering race, building cities in the mountains and underground.There are many female kings, and the children are collectively raised by the tribe after birth. The female king is the respected mother. There is a system that pays great attention to collective unity and precise division of labor. Thousands of people can work together as one person. Its construction and production capabilities are difficult for other races. of.The production process and refining technology of Heluo are also the first among all clans.In addition, some Heluo tribes also make a half-plant, half-animal body called Jiangfeng, which is used to wrap around their own body as a new body or mount. The number of Heluo tribe is about one-fifth of the human race, and the tribes that can make general winds account for about one-half of the total number of Heluo tribe.Most of the river networks are distributed in the southern part of Yuezhou, and other states are relatively rare, but this does not mean that there are no river network cities underground in these places.If you get lost in the mountains at night, and when you turn around the corner and suddenly see that the whole mountain in front of you has been cut off in half, and the lights on the flat mountain wall are brightly lit, like a starry sky, it must be a huge city surrounded by rivers. charm: Meizai was originally a spiritual incorporeal body, they were condensed by the aura floating on the earth.When they start to have consciousness, they will instinctively want to get a flesh and blood body, so they absorb tiny substances from the surrounding air, soil, and water, and start the difficult process of agglomeration. This process is quite long, and it will take months, years or even decades. The ghost will first find a very quiet place to wrap itself with a chrysalis. The shape of the chrysalis is usually like a stone or dead wood, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Hard to tell.Although theoretically, charms can be condensed into any shape they want, but condensing them into things imagined out of thin air will make the body unreasonable, and it is very easy to fail. If they condense into animals, they cannot blend into the crowd, so charms usually choose the appearance of other races. to condense. The appearance of the condensed Mei is similar to that of other races, but it has a strong sense of magic and spiritual power, but it often has defects inside its body, which is different from ordinary people.Mei can directly condense into an adult, but even if condensed into a baby, it still has innate wisdom.There are also some charms that fail to condense and become strange in shape. Charm is a contradiction between freedom and imprisonment. They are willing to feel physical pain in order to blend into the crowd, but they are always lonely and alien in the crowd. shark: The shark clan, also known as the Jiao clan, has a body with a dragon tail and a slender streamline.Most of them live in the sea, and there are also a small number of mermaids in the few large rivers and lakes that communicate with the sea, including underground lakes.If the merman wants to go ashore, he must first use magic to transform his legs, or he can only use a car to travel.It is difficult for a merman who has not changed his physique to survive outside the water for more than a day. The mermen use a chant-like language to convey information in the sea with waka-like tones.When human beings hear strange singing at sea, they know they have encountered sharks.They use scaffolding to cultivate fast-growing corals to build underwater cities, or weave house nests with water and grass, and float in the sea. A tribe will have at most hundreds of such grass nests.Mermaids often migrate along with changes in the direction of ocean fish and warm currents, so some sharks will use balsa wood and air bubbles in the sea to build huge underwater floating cities and drift with the currents. Sharks are good at weaving a kind of extremely thin silk from raw materials in the sea, called scallop silk, which is light and tough, with an extremely smooth surface, and is used for construction and clothing in the sea.This is an extremely precious silk fabric.It is said that the "mirage" that occasionally appears on the sea is the market where the mermaids sell and exchange this kind of mermaid.There is another legend that when the sharks cry in sorrow, the tears that roll down are beautiful pearls. In fact, they are the crystallization of tears that the sharks shed when they cry. The above is only the briefest description of the Kyushu setting. In the future, we hope that this world will be continuously improved and enriched by many, many works and imaginative settings.In the end, it becomes a grand spectacle, and every detail of it is so real and palpable. I once imagined: when the stars sink from the center of the sea, they go to the other side of the vastness.The huge light wheel pushed away the sea water, and the sea area thousands of miles away was reflected bright yellow.The stars continued to sink, and the sea boiled wherever they went.The sharks came here and stood on the edge of the deep sea cliff, looking at the wonder of the stars reflected in the sea.The Kuafu family stood on the iceberg breaking the waves, chasing the sunset. In the sky above their heads, there were transparent wings reflecting the rays of the sun. The dark sea was burning, and all the creatures instantly became colorful and began to revel. . Kyushu World, I hope it can be a stage for all fantasies.
