Chapter 91 Chapter 5 Entering Yangcheng for the first time

"Yangcheng" was founded by "Sang Yang Wu Huan", a strange man in the era of Fengshen Bang in the late Yin and early Zhou Dynasties. When Sang Yang Wu Huan was young, he had learned the super-era knowledge of Di Menghun, a legendary figure in time and space. Di Menghun's knowledge comes from the twenty-fourth century AD, two thousand years later. Sang Yang Wuhuan couldn't learn all the knowledge, but only part of the knowledge he grasped is enough to make him a wise man far ahead of the times. After Sangyang Wuhuan founded "Yangcheng", several outstanding and intelligent people came out of his descendants. In addition to integrating the knowledge passed down by his ancestors, he also integrated the "Dimenghun Grotto Remains" outside the ancient Chaoge City. After excavating them, they copied down the records of scientific knowledge left by Di Menghun in order to relieve loneliness. After a few generations, there is a lot of knowledge that is even more outstanding than that of Sangyang Wuhuan.

Therefore, hundreds of years later in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yangcheng became a mysterious but powerful stronghold. It is said that among the famous strategists in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were children sent by the Yangcheng family. However, the real location of this Yangcheng is extremely mysterious. Apart from the mysteries of where the people in Yangcheng come and go, the outsiders only know about it because it is "extensive for ten miles and incomparably mysterious". Some people even say that Yangcheng can move, because someone once entered Yangcheng by accident, but if they want to enter from the same road in the future, they can't find the entrance no matter what.

Following in the footsteps of Sangyang Suyin, Yiyangjiu and the others arrived at Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, not long after. The State of Lu is one of the important feudal states surnamed Ji, the emperor of Zhou. The person who founded the city was the younger brother of the famous King Wu of Zhou in Chinese history: Duke Zhou Jidan. After the famous battle of enshrining the gods and defeating Zhou, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty founded the dynasty that lasted for nearly a thousand years. However, at the beginning of the dynasty, King Wu of Zhou passed away. The princes were not very obedient, and the foundation of the entire Zhou Dynasty was really laid down by the regent of Duke Zhou Jidan.

In addition to assisting King Zhou Cheng, Duke Zhou Jidan is most famous for his achievements in "making rituals and music", which transformed the Zhou Dynasty from a small tribe in the wild west to a huge dynasty that emphasized rituals and music. After hundreds of years, although the power of the Zhou Dynasty declined during the battle of Gou Rong's attack on Haojing, the power of the feudal states increased, and wars between countries were frequent. It no longer represents everything, but in the state of Lu, the feudal city of Zhou Gongdan, the ancient legacy of Zhou Gong's "emphasis on rituals and music, and making laws and regulations" can still be seen everywhere.

In the city of Qufu, although it is not as crowded as Linliu in Qi State, "blowing air into clouds, sweating into rain", it is still a very lively city. The State of Lu is located in Shandong, and the residents have the bold and tall appearance of the northerners. Walking on the streets, you can see tall and strong men everywhere, but everyone's expressions are a little more gentle and refined, and you often see Many do the ancient dress of the high crowned robe. Yi Yangjiu, Yi Ya and others were walking on the streets of Qufu, looking around curiously. Yi Ya could not help being amazed when he saw a few powerful men from the Lu Kingdom passing by.

"Wow! I also thought that Xiao Jiu's head is big enough and tall enough," he said with a chuckle, "but compared with these guys, it's like a son meeting his father." Walking to the center of the city, there were more and more people coming and going. Looking at the crowd, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help asking curiously: "Aren't we going to Yangcheng? Why don't we just go into the city?" He scratched his head, Looking around: "Didn't you say that Yangcheng is 'ten miles wide'? The ten miles will not be in Qufu City, right?" Sang Yangqing smiled lightly and gave him a sidelong glance.

"If you can guess it, then it's not called Yangcheng! Our city is really 'ten miles wide', and it is indeed in Qufu City. It's just that people like you can't see the mystery of it." Yi Ya at the side also heard what she said, leaned over excitedly, and asked with a smile: "Is it really such a big place? But look at the city full of people and houses, But you can't see any 'Yangcheng'?" At this time, the group of people has arrived at the most densely populated place in the city. The streets are full of houses and shops. Not to mention Yangcheng, even finding an open space may be a big problem.

Sangyang Shuyin looked around, but there was a look of emotion on his face. He stopped on the street, caressed a big tree, and stared at the few scratches on the tree. "It's been many years..." He murmured, "It's really been many years..." Yi Yangjiu looked at the surrounding environment curiously, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see where there was a "vast ten miles". He looked at the crowd casually, and in a blink of an eye, he saw two sisters from Sangyang's family walking slowly. Behind a stone tablet, before the figure disappeared, Sang Yangqing turned around and made a face at him.

Strange to say, although the stone tablet is as tall as a person, it is slender and slender, and the slender figures of the Sangyang sisters can barely be hidden behind the stone tablet, and only one of them can be hidden. However, Sang Yangjing and Sang Yangqing walked behind the stele, and both of them disappeared out of thin air. As if disappearing into thin air, the two of them disappeared without a trace. Yi Yangjiu was shocked, and ran over with his mouth open, but saw a row of low earthen walls behind the stele, covered with moss, but how could there be any trace of the two sisters?

"Strange! Strange!" he murmured, "how could this be?" Yi Ya and the others just saw the scene where the Sangyang sisters disappeared out of thin air. They were dumbfounded and searched around desperately, but they couldn't see where the two sisters went. Sangyang Yinyin stood in front of the big tree and sighed for a while, then turned his head and said to Yiyangjiu and the others seriously: "Now we are about to enter Yangcheng, the terrain of my Sangyang family has been shifted to hide Art is unrivaled in the world, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, follow me, don't leave the team, otherwise you will not be able to enter Yangcheng."

Yiyangjiu nodded, and several people followed Sangyang and Yinyin's footsteps and walked slowly. Yiyangjiu walked at the end, but found that they were not going to the back of the stone tablet where the two sisters of Sangyang disappeared, but to a place where the two Sangyang sisters disappeared. at the grove. After walking three or two steps behind the bushes, two walls appeared in front of my eyes, slightly higher than a person, and the middle of the two walls was barely enough for a person to walk through. Approaching this place, Yi Yangjiu subtly felt that the whole environment seemed to have become a completely different world. Not far behind, the voices of people on Luguo Street became blurred, the air seemed to become a bit stale, and even the familiar market smell had disappeared. He turned around curiously, and found that the way he had come was hidden at the edge of the bushes, but he felt that he had only walked less than ten steps, and the distance of these ten steps had already brought him into a completely different world. Originally, he wanted to walk back curiously to see if the world full of people was still not far behind, but after thinking about Sangyang Suyin's explanation, he gave up this idea. Just after such a hesitation, he turned his head, only to find that the people in front had also disappeared. Yi Yangjiu was slightly startled, and instinctively walked forward quickly, trying to keep up with the team, but the road ahead seemed to be possessed by a demon, the path between the two walls was long and long, and he used to walk fast , and started to run wildly after walking, but the inconspicuous path can't be finished no matter how hard it is! Yi Yangjiu panted, pondered for a while, and saw that there was still no end in front, so he made up his mind not to go any further, but to turn around first. However, when he turned around, he yelled out "scared" as if he had seen the scariest monster. It stands to reason that he had been running on the path for a while just now, and what he saw when he turned his head should of course be the way he came from. But looking now, I saw the little grove that had just entered between the two walls. It seemed as if the distance I had been running for so long had disappeared out of thin air, and I was just standing still. Yi Yangjiu smiled uneasily, thinking that this could relax his tense emotions, he pondered for a while, then decided to walk through the bushes first, and then go back to Qufu Street. Pushing aside the branches and leaves of the bushes, he took two steps, but the scene in front of him made him unable to hold back a lot of cold sweat from his forehead. At the other end of the bushes, it is not the Qufu Street as imagined, but the same scenery as the endless trail just now. Two high walls, leaving a gap in the middle that a person can barely pass through. And the path in the middle of the high wall, at the end, is dark, as if leading to a terrible unknown world. At this time, Yiyangjiu's primordial spirit "Luoye" walked over staggeringly, and seeing its fat green figure, Yiyangjiu finally felt relieved under the suspicion. As long as there is Luo Ye by her side, at least there will be someone to rely on to take care of her when she is in danger. "Luoye," Yi Yangjiu whispered, "Take a look." After getting along with Luoye for so long, although Yi Yangjiu didn't put much effort into the primordial spirit technique, he already had a familiar way of communicating with the green primordial spirit. Sure enough, Luoye withdrew as he said. The seeds all over the sky spread rapidly on the path. Some vines meander around the earthen wall and stick out of the wall. Yi Yangjiu looked at this scene, and had an idea in his heart, and couldn't help but patted his forehead. "Well, you idiot!" He said with a dumbfounded smile: "The wall is blocking you, won't you climb over the wall?" As soon as he thought about it, he felt that the problem of getting lost had been solved, so he couldn't help laughing happily, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although the two walls in front of him are slightly taller than people, they are of course no trouble to Yiyangjiu. As early as Weicheng's youth, he has already mastered the magic skill of jumping over the wall and sneaking away in the whole Weiguo, no matter how high the wall is, No matter how smooth the wall is, "Little Nine" always flips over it. Yi Yangjiu's tall body moved lightly a few times, and he spotted a recess on the wall. He stretched out his hand to break it, followed the force of the break, jumped up vertically, and took two steps on the wall with his feet. , the whole person is like a big bird, flipping over the wall lightly. With a "poof", Yi Yangjiu, in order to be perfect, deliberately ran out of the house as if he was a boy, and landed on the ground more lightly than a cat. Then, after landing on the ground, they saw another completely similar place behind the wall. There are two gray walls, and a narrow path between them. Surprised, Yi Yangjiu also lost his temper, gritted his teeth, and turned over to the opposite wall again. I don't know how many times I turned it over. After turning over, my hands and feet are a little sore, but the scenery in front of me is still the same. no no!This absolutely impossible thing has happened now. The primordial spirit "Luo Ye" who was with him day and night, who was always by his side, also disappeared at this moment! Yiyang Jiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at the sky, but he could still see a familiar blue sky. It's just on the ground, but it has already fallen into such a strange trap that is difficult to escape! Yi Yangjiu was sweating profusely, his tired legs went limp, and he sat down against the wall limply, gasping for breath. What the hell is this place?Why are there two endless walls on the streets of Lu State? Amidst the panting, Yi Yangjiu listened carefully, trying to hear the voices of people on the street. He deliberately lowered the sound of his breathing and listened intently, but he heard the voices of people on the street were still there, although it was a little blurry, but still audible! Even the voice of a woman scolding a child loudly can be vaguely heard! Can hear but not walk. Really, what the hell is this place? No, this place is not a "ghost place". This place is the mysterious "Yangcheng". "Vast ten miles, extremely mysterious" Yangcheng. It was also at this time that Yi Yangjiu understood the true meaning of these two rumors. He shook his head dejectedly, but still yelled loudly: "Luoye!" "Senior Sangyang! You are a fat man, you are a dead man, you are a dead man..." His voice was majestic, and under the yelling, the voice spread far in the long alley, but there was no response. Yi Yangjiu took a deep breath, suddenly felt angry, and for a moment, he just wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. He has a fierce and stubborn personality. Although he was a little scared just now, there is really nothing he can do now. Most people may feel sad and discouraged, but Yiyang Jiu became more angry when he was frustrated. He roared loudly, split his palms, and lost his mind The ground yelled loudly, and beat the wall vigorously with "dong dong dong", only to blow dust and smoke on the wall. If this kind of strength is used to hit someone, about three or five punches are enough to kill that unlucky ghost. But the wall was extremely strong. Although Yi Yangjiu used all his might in his rage, he only shed some dust and did not collapse because of his slaps. He played up.Then he yelled with a hideous and distorted expression. Amidst the shouts of "Ah...", suddenly, someone thumped hard on the back of his head with a "boo". Unpredictably, Yi Yangjiu was taken aback by such a situation, and when he turned his head to look, it was Sangyang Suyin with a half-smile on his face. Behind him, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, and Shu Diao all had uncontrollably laughing expressions. In a blink of an eye, green radish leaves appeared one after another, standing under the dusty corner of the wall unchanged. "Why are you losing your temper?" Sang Yang Su Yin frowned and said, "I broke the wall of my Yangcheng, but you have to pay for it!" Yi Yang stared at him blankly, but couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. "What the hell is this...?" He muttered to himself, scratching his head again. "The entrance of Yangcheng is the highest crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of my Sangyang family over the years." Sangyang Suyin said: "My ancestor Wu Huan learned the strange knowledge of the sky from Di Menghun, a strange man in time and space, and there is a kind of strange knowledge Being able to shrink the ground into an inch and go back and forth in an instant is called "space transfer". But even Di Menghun himself has never learned the knowledge of space transfer thoroughly. On the contrary, my Sangyang family had an ancestor in the time of King Mu of Zhou From the ancient escape method, I comprehended a brilliant magic technique similar to "time-space transfer", which can confuse people's minds and divert people's attention. Although it can't really create flat lands out of thin air, it can trap people in it. , it is equivalent to being trapped in a world of nothingness that will never be restored.” "Time-space transfer?" Yi Yangjiu asked curiously: "You said that I am trapped here because of the 'time-space transfer' mana?" "The mana is a name we added. There are other names in the fairy world of the strange man Di Menghun, but that is a realm that we can't reach with all our efforts, so there is no need to waste effort," Sang Yangsui Yin took Yi Yangjiu's hand, turned around and walked slowly: "This time you take care, follow closely." Yi Yangjiu opened his eyes wide, staring intently at Sang Yang Su Yin's back, and the group moved forward slowly again. It's strange to say that he was also walking on the path, and just now he couldn't get out no matter how he walked, but now he was following Sangyang Shuyin, but after walking a few steps, his eyes suddenly opened up. I saw a wide square in front of me, but the land on the square was of a strange texture, neither soil nor stone, and there was a faint silver light. On the other side of the square, the entrance of Yangcheng is also very different from the buildings in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It has a strange shape. There are a few towers that are round and round, but they protrude from the top with sharp pinnacles like needles. Yi Yangjiu opened his mouth wide, looking at this legendary strange city in surprise. "Ah..." Yi Ya at the side also said in admiration: "Is this place really in the middle of the market in Lu State? But how do you find such a large area in such a crowded market?" Yi Yangjiu looked left and right, and found that the brightness in the whole space was the same as that of the outside world, but when he looked up, although the sky was the same blue, if he looked carefully, he could find that the color of the large piece of sky in the center was not the same. Yi Yangjiu pondered for a while, with a look of horror on his face. Sangyang Suyin looked at his expression and knew that this red-haired kid had a quick mind and had already seen the mystery of Yangcheng. "The difference in color is the real sky," said Sangyang Yinyin, pointing to the center of the sky. Hearing his explanation, Yi Ya and others also looked up. "Basically, Yangcheng is a fortress hidden about ten feet and seven feet underground. The entire space is like a bulb of garlic, with a sharp upper part and a richer lower part. The light in the whole Yangcheng city can be the same as that of the outside world, all thanks to the crystal mirror next to the opening in the sky. " Yiyangjiu and the others looked up and saw that the small piece of sky was surrounded by things like mirrors on the surface of water, skillfully bringing in the light from the outside sky, so that the light in the whole city of Yang was similar to the outside. "That crystal mirror is extremely rare in the world. After Mr. Wu Huan became rich in Lu State, he exhausted his energy and financial resources all his life, only to get 60% of the mirror, and the remaining 40% took another 70 years." , Only then will the collection be completed, and the entire Yangcheng will not be truly complete until then." At this moment, the silent Kaifang counted with his fingers stuck, with a surprised expression on his face. "It's just that the exposed sky is insignificant compared to Yangcheng, but it is the size of a city or two. How can no one notice such an open space on the main street of Lu State?" Sangyang Suyin smiled approvingly. "This is the most extraordinary thing about the ancestors of my Sangyang family. If you know how to deceive people at the entrance, after all, you only need to confuse a few people. But how can such a large place What is unknown about Luguo Street? It turned out that when my ancestors built Yangcheng, this area was not prosperous, it was just a wasteland. The ancestors of the Sangyang family deliberately managed and built this place to make it a prosperous place. The so-called "Small hermits hide in the mountains and forests, and great hermits hide in the city." If you want to live in seclusion, it will be harder for people to find out if you hide in the downtown area. Do you understand this?" Yiyangjiu and the others nodded. "Therefore, the ancestors who built Yangcheng first constructed the nearby houses in an ingenious way, making them seem to be closely surrounded, but leaving a big open space in the middle. Looking at the middle from four directions, taking advantage of the human eye's mistakes Perception, let them feel that this open space does not exist. Around the open space, not only set up magical terrain, so that the surrounding houses cannot be easily approached, and there is no chance of breaking in by going the wrong way. Trees and water are also placed around the open space. Tang, so even if you know that Yangcheng is here and you want to go in and look for it, you will always walk back to the original place after a few steps. It has been hundreds of years since the construction of Yangcheng, but there has never been an outsider who has not been led by the city. Can come in, so you understand?" "Understood." Yi Yangjiu suddenly realized and smiled happily. However, if you think about it deeply, and think of the ingenious conception and profound knowledge of the Sangyang family in the past, you can't help but feel a little more awe of this mysterious family. Sangyang Suyin quietly looked at the big hole in the sky showing the blue sky, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face. "It's just...the example of our ancestors is still there, but it's hard for us unworthy descendants to have the same achievements as them..." At this moment, there was an unusually loud sound from the gate of Yangcheng. "That's right! Unworthy descendants!" The voice was so loud that it didn't seem like it was coming from a flesh and blood body. The sound reached the ears, rumbling like thunder. "It's just that the word 'unworthy descendants' is said by you, don't you think it's shocking?"
