Between mountains and seas

Chapter 6 Mountain and Sea Era

Thinking of this, Shao Jingxing couldn't help but look down at his two hands.He was spoiled and spoiled, if he didn't like to cook, he could be regarded as a man with ten fingers in the spring water.But after this trip to the dense forest, even sitting here, he can feel the change in himself, and...

"This, this mole—" Shao Jingxing suddenly saw the red mole on his wrist, and immediately forgot about the change in his body, and his thoughts slipped away again, "It's——what blood are you talking about?"

Huo Qing seemed to sigh slightly, but he still answered: "It is recorded in "Sou Shen Ji" that there is an insect in the south named Qingfu, which looks like a cicada and is slightly bigger—" He looked at Shao Jingxing, and changed the vernacular at the right time, "Qing The clam will lay eggs on the blades of grass, and if someone takes its eggs, the clam will sense it, no matter how far away it is. Some people use the blood of the female clam and the blood of the young clam to smear the copper coins respectively, as long as Keep one of them, and even if the other is used by the flowers, it will fly back by itself. This is the use of the induction ability between the mother and child of the green clam. "

"Ability to sense..." Shao Jingxing managed not to miss the point this time, and sighed, "No wonder I could feel you coming just now..." With these two disobedient legs, he almost let him go out Woolen cloth.

Huo Qing glanced at his leg: "This is unrefined blood. If you use it temporarily, the effect will not last long. When the color fades completely, it will have no effect."

"Oh——" Shao Jingxing didn't know whether he was lucky or regretful, so he paused for a while before saying, "It's okay, okay, otherwise, if the police find out, I don't know what to say..."

Huo Qing didn't understand the subtle emotions in his heart at all. Instead, he said in a businesslike manner: "You can rest assured about this. The memory of the two children about the dense forest has been erased. Before you answered that it would be appropriate to faint when the car overturned. The police There will be no more inquiries. We will take care of the rest."

"Ah?" Shao Jingxing asked instinctively, "Who will deal with it? No, you, what do you do?" No wonder the police showed up once after he woke up, and he didn't get to the bottom of such a weird situation. Huo Qing took care of it.

Huo Qing pondered for a while, then replied: "Member of the third team of the Special Affairs Division of the National Security Bureau."

Shao Jingxing tried his best to recall: "I've never heard of any special affairs handling department in Guoan..." Anyway, there was such a second uncle, so he knew a little bit about it.

"It's not open to the public." Huo Qing thought for a while and replied, "Most of the time we are called 'relevant departments'. The specific situation will be known after you participate."

"Participate?" Shao Jingxing was taken aback, "Participate in what? National security?" He didn't think so.

Huo Qing frowned slightly, and glanced at his hand: "You should know that you have awakened a supernatural power."

"Ah——" Shao Jingxing remembered what he wanted to say just now, "I was just about to ask you about me, my ability to make fire..."

"It's the ability you awakened under the influence of the power of mountains and seas." Huo Qing took his words, "Just now we talked about "The Classic of Mountains and Seas." Originally, he came here to talk about the world of mountains and seas, but he was dragged around by Shao Jingxing Yes, in the end it was abducted to the relevant department...

"That's right, The Classic of Mountains and Seas." Shao Jingxing quickly put on a studious look, "The power of mountains and seas is related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, right?" ", and did not mention "Shan Hai Jing"...

"To be precise, it is related to the world described in "Shan Hai Jing"."

""Shan Hai Jing" is not Hu——" Shao Jingxing stopped his mouth in time, and changed his words abruptly, "Isn't that Du, Du —— a fantasy?" What is Du?He couldn't remember what the last word read.

Huo Qing shook his head: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas is not fabricated. It is a local annals and biological illustrations of the second Shanhai Era, which has high research value. Including some mythical novels after that, most of them were born out of this, It can be regarded as a supplement to "Shan Hai Jing."

"The second time...Shanhai Era?"

Huo Qing nodded: "This is the internal statement of the Special Affairs Division. It started with Gonggong opening the sealed door of Buzhou Mountain, and ended with Dayu's completion of water control and the casting of Jiuding."

Shao Jingxing felt that his head was getting dizzy: "Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, Dayu controlled the flood..." Isn't this all myths and legends?And: "If there is a second time, there will be a first time. When was the first time in the Shanhai Era?"

"It's the time when Pangu opened the world."

Looking at Huo Qing's serious face, Shao Jingxing could only respond with "hehe".No matter how ignorant he is, he still knows about Pan Gu's creation of the world.What do the legends say?The heaven and earth were as chaotic as a chicken. Pangu split it with a huge axe. The clean air rose to form the sky, and the turbid air descended to form the earth.

Isn't this all bullshit?Elementary school students know that the sky is not pure air, and the earth under their feet is not turbid air.Besides, there is only Pangu in this chaos, where did the ax come from?Did it come from Pangu?Do not make jokes!

"This is an error in the records of later generations." Huo Qing did not mean to be joking at all, "Words evolve, and fallacies will appear in word of mouth. But even so, some truths can be seen from it. The so-called chaos of heaven and earth, It refers to the situation when our world and the world of mountains and seas are not yet separated, and the power of mountains and seas is mixed in the world. Pangu's division of chaos is not to separate the world of mountains and seas, but to separate the world of mountains and seas from our world. Qingqi refers to our world, while turbid air refers to the world of mountains and seas."

Shao Jingxing licked his lips, not knowing what to say, and asked after a long time: "Why did Pangu separate the two worlds?"

Huo Qing glanced at him, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes, as if he was surprised that he would ask such a stupid question: "You have already entered the world of mountains and seas, and seen mountain spiders... and those two This child, if they stay in the world of mountains and seas for too long, the power of mountains and seas will cause irreparable damage to their bodies, even if there is medicine, they cannot be cured..."

Shao Jingxing was a little embarrassed.When Huo Qing said this, it seemed that the question he asked was indeed an idiot.But he originally found it hard to believe what Huo Qing said, not because he wanted to appear so mentally retarded... Alas, even though he has actually entered that mountain and sea world, it is still hard to believe that this is not a dream .Moreover, he still doesn't know how to get in.

Huo Qing was silent for a while before answering: "It's because the enchantment is damaged, you happened to meet it." He saw Shao Jingxing's embarrassment, and comforted him a little bluntly: "People who enter the world of mountains and seas for the first time will find it a bit difficult. Believe - just like you."

Shao Jingxing grinned, feeling that this kind of coincidence really made people feel mixed like this sentence added by Huo Qing: "But why am I different from those two children?" And the third brother was also alive and kicking the last time he saw him Yes, although it doesn't seem to have awakened any abilities, there is no sign of being corroded at all.

"The power of mountains and seas has different effects on living things." Huo Qing may have seen the characteristics of his rotten wood, and he answered very patiently, "The gods and ghosts, monsters and monsters in myths and legends are all living things that are controlled by the power of mountains and seas." It is transformed by erosion. There are also some that are not affected, but for most people, the power of mountains and seas belongs to "turbid air", which is not good for the body. The life span of ancient people is short, and the erosion of the power of mountains and seas cannot but be said to be A reason."

Shao Jingxing finally had an idea in his mind: "So, what Jade Emperor, Daji, and Sun Monkey were all mutated by the power of mountains and seas—that,?"

Huo Qing didn't know how he pulled these characters together all at once, frowning slightly, but still said: "Although some of them are fictional images in literary works, they can also be found in mutant creatures. corresponding prototype."

"Fox spirit—" Shao Jingxing exclaimed, "There really are..."

Huo Qing pursed his lips tightly.Shao Jingxing suddenly realized that a sharp line had been pulled out from the corner of his lips, and quickly stopped his thoughts of galloping away, and asked, "Then what happened afterwards? Speaking of which, how could Pangu separate the two worlds? By the way—he must be a mutant too, right?” Among other things, the myth said that Pangu’s body grew with the separation of the sky and the earth, with his head touching the sky and his feet on the ground, who could do this for ordinary people?

Huo Qing also had a headache for him, and nodded patiently: "Pangu is a powerful person, so he has the ability to separate the two worlds, and set the gate of the two worlds at Mount Buzhou."

Shao Jingxing thought for a while, and found that he couldn't imagine how Pangu could separate the two worlds, so he could only find something to say authentically: "After that, our world won't have the power of mountains and seas?"

Huo Qing shook his head: "Although the two worlds are separated, the power of mountains and seas is a kind of energy, invisible and invisible, and cannot be completely expelled, so there will still be mutants or mutant creatures occasionally appearing in our world, but with this This kind of energy is gradually exhausted, and there are fewer and fewer mutated creatures. After the Zhuolu battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the first Shanhai Era ended."

Emma Chiyou, he knows this!Shao Jingxing quickly said: "I know this. Chi You has 81 brothers, all of whom are invulnerable to swords and guns. They can fly and run, and can make wind and rain. The Yellow Emperor can't beat them. I made a drum out of Kui's cowhide, and made a drum from the bone of the God of Thunder, and the sound of one blow could be heard for hundreds of miles, and that's how I defeated Chi You!"

This is because he was interested in the boss when he was playing "Xuanyuan Sword". It should be right, right?

Huo Qing didn't know his original intention of checking the information, but he was surprised that he still knew something, although it was not comprehensive, but it was basically correct, so he nodded involuntarily: "Yes. Chi You is also a strong supernatural being. He also domesticated and gathered many alienated people and creatures, the so-called 81 brothers actually refer to the large number of supernatural beings gathered around him."

It was rare for Shao Jingxing to be affirmed, so he couldn't help being a little proud, and quickly said: "It is said in the book that Chi You is a descendant of Emperor Yan, but in fact it was because Emperor Yan was defeated by Emperor Huang, that's why he raised his army. Later, Kuafu, Xingtian, Gonggong, etc. They are subjects or descendants of Emperor Yan. The battle between Yan and Huang has dragged on for so long..."

Huo Qing shook his head slightly: "The statement of the descendants of Emperor Yan and his subordinates may not be credible. This is just a war caused by the different attitudes of the supernatural beings towards the world of mountains and seas. Whether it is Emperor Yan or Chi You, including the fact that the Second Era was opened later. The Gonggong of the Qing Dynasty all advocated opening the gate of the two worlds and absorbing the power of the mountains and the sea. But the position of the Yellow Emperor was exactly the opposite of theirs, and this led to the protracted war. The Battle of Zhuolu was only recorded in history, never seen before. There will only be more.”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "These histories, after you enter the special affairs department, someone will make up for you. Let's talk about your abilities now."

It was only then that Shao Jingxing realized that Huo Qing didn't come to teach him science today: "No, me, why did I enter that special, special affairs department? What are you going to do there?"

"Eliminate the power of mountains and seas, and guard the gate of the two realms." Huo Qing became serious, "I just said that although the two realms were separated by Pangu, the two worlds originally lived together, and they were both inside and outside, and Pangu couldn't separate the two realms." To be completely separated, we can only build a barrier to separate it. However, the barrier is not unbreakable, and its effectiveness will weaken over a long period of time, causing more power from mountains and seas to invade our world. Therefore, even if the two worlds Separation, and weird things have never stopped. Not to mention that there are people like Gonggong who forcibly opened the gate on Buzhou Mountain and created a catastrophe that endangered Kyushu."

Shao Jingxing was a little nervous by his seriousness, and murmured in a low voice: "Buzhou Mountain fell, didn't it cause a flood..." Dayu controlled the flood, and he never entered the house three times. This was something in the elementary school textbook, and he remembered it very clearly.

Huo Qing asked back: "In the time of Yao and Shun, there was a flood of water in the world, not one or two rivers, but thousands of rivers and hundreds of rivers. Where did so much water come from?"

Shao Jingxing was tongue-tied.Fortunately, he was not stupid, so he turned around and tentatively said, "Yes, he came from the world of mountains and seas?"

Huo Qing nodded: "To be precise, it is water with the power of mountains and seas. What gushes out from the gate of the two worlds is not so much water as some kind of power. To be honest, Dayu's water control is pure water control Second, the most important thing is to control all kinds of spirits and ghosts that suddenly appear; these monsters are all mutated by the power of mountains and seas."

Shao Jingxing is quite familiar with the story of Dayu's flood control, and he still remembers the names of some monsters and monsters that appeared in the story: "Dafeng, Wu Zhiqi, Xiangliu, He--what, what's the matter with that..." There are several other monsters that he knows, but the names are too unfamiliar to recognize them!I knew I should look it up in a dictionary...

"Hey." Huo Qing completed it for him, with a slightly helpless expression.

"Ah, ah, Heyu, I remember the word for fish."

"Read 'rain'—forget it." Huo Qing gave up correcting his thoughts, "Pronunciation is not important, but you must be clear about the monsters in the world of mountains and seas, so that when you encounter them, you won't be confused because of nothing. Knowing but suffering. For example, the mountain spider, I actually lured it away at the time, as long as you stay quietly in the car, it will not find it. But after your movements caused the ground to vibrate, it was attracted back. If you know this, you'll know how to avoid it if you encounter it in the future."

"I, I—" Shao Jingxing was horrified by what he said, "Why did I still encounter it..."

Huo Qing said lightly: "To protect the gates of mountains and seas, one has to deal with these things." He looked at Shao Jingxing seriously, "You have awakened your abilities, you should know your responsibilities—"

"Wait!" Shao Jingxing called out instinctively, "What responsibility? I just overturned the car for no reason, so how could I have any responsibility?" Oh my God, he managed to come out of that damned jungle alive, if it wasn't for that My son has awakened the ability to start fire, and he will die before Huo Qing comes to save him, okay?

And what is his ability?He also tried it after he came back, and to be honest, he only used it as a lighter—no, if the lighter had enough gasoline, it could explode, but he couldn't even explode, it was just an ignition stove.With this little ability, what kind of responsibility should he be asked to guard the gate of mountains and seas?Do not make jokes!

Huo Qing frowned slightly after hearing him say such a thing: "Although your ability is not strong, it has special effects and is very useful in the world of mountains and seas—"

When Shao Jingxing heard the word "mountain and sea" now, his scalp would explode.A single spider made him want to die—no, it was a narrow escape. Think about other monsters, just the ones he mentioned just now are enough to scare him to death!

At this moment, he didn't care about any beauties, and quickly interrupted Huo Qing: "I don't have the ability to protect myself at all, and I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute to the protection of the gate of mountains and seas. Then what, your special affairs department must be very busy , look, I won't keep you..."

Huo Qing frowned even tighter: "Mr. Shao, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. What's more, this is related to our world, and it has nothing to do with you—"

Shao Jingxing hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't have much ability, really. You just said that my ability is not strong at all, and I can't bear any responsibility." This time, he was about to be scared to death. Can't stand it a second time.

Yes, he was terminally ill and wanted to commit suicide.But he wanted to die quickly, not so badly—after he came back, he went online to check how the spiders eat, and then thought about the fate of the sixth son and the third brother, he would be scared by nightmares when he slept Awake!It was only a little bit away from him being bound by spiders and being melted and sucked in bits and pieces while he was alive...

What if the door to come back opened a little later?Or did the car not bring him out when the car suddenly continued to overturn, but still left him in the world of mountains and seas?

Just thinking about it this way, Shao Jingxing felt that his entire spine was soaked in ice water, and he was so frightened that he died.What is the gate of mountains and seas, he never wants to take a step closer!Thinking about it, he wouldn't be so unlucky, would someone interfere with the enchantment again?

Huo Qing didn't expect him to refuse so simply, he was choked up for a few seconds before he could speak: "You can sacrifice yourself as a hostage for that child—"

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!I'm just because I don't live long anyway, thinking that being shot to death by a gangster will save me the trouble of crashing a car...

Just when Shao Jingxing was wondering whether to say this, the door of the ward was pushed open, and his attending doctor walked in quickly with the examination report on his face excitedly: "Xiao Shao——" Seeing someone there, he couldn't help but stop talking , "Who is this?" It's not yet visiting time, and not everyone can come here casually in this ward, who is this person, and how did he come in?

Now that someone came, Huo Qing couldn't continue his words. He glanced at Shao Jingxing and got up: "I'm leaving first, you think about it again, I'll come back in a few days."

No, I don't have to think about it...
