Chapter 2014 Meet Again
Fangzheng can't use magic in this world, but he is a time dragon after all, not to mention the reincarnation of the soul, the power of the dragon will definitely be preserved. So during this period of time, Fangzheng traveled around, in addition to gathering refugees, he was also looking for those interesting animals and taking them in.
Most of the animals in this world are not much different from the modern ones, but perhaps because of the world of martial arts, there are also many unique species. For example, in martial arts novels, there are often descriptions such as thousand-year-old ice clams, which can be invulnerable to all poisons after eating, and can increase one-hundred-year skills. If it were Fangzheng, that world would definitely not exist, but there are actually similar species in this world.
Not only that, Fangzheng actually found some species described in the Shan Hai Jing, the most famous of which are naturally the four holy beasts of Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu. Of course, these four holy beasts are not as mysterious as those described in the Book of Mountains and Seas. After communicating with them, Fangzheng found that these strange beasts lived longer, had smarter brains, and looked weirder at best.
However, Fangzheng found some problems in it, that is, most of the creatures described in the Shan Hai Jing are actually prehistoric old people!
Like the most famous four holy beasts, the white tiger is the famous saber-toothed tiger. When Fang Zheng saw it, he was so excited that he wanted to take a picture of it with a camera...
The same is true for the other three holy beasts. Qinglong is a genetically mutated boa constrictor, most likely the offspring of the titanic python. The whole body is green and nearly fifteen meters long, and its weight is calculated in tons. Perhaps because of returning to ancestors, the head of this titanic python looks like a dinosaur. From a distance, it really looks like a green dragon shuttling between mountains and forests.
As for Xuanwu, it is a huge earth-patterned tortoise. It is nearly four meters long and has a bald head of 1.5 meters. If the ancients see this kind of monster, it will definitely scare the urine directly.
And the phoenix is also a prehistoric giant bird. It stands three meters high and has a wingspan of at least seven meters. Just flying through the sky for a prehistoric giant bird like this makes people tremble.
From this point of view, the Book of Mountains and Seas is quite scientific. After all, most prehistoric animals were huge in stature, and the ancients tended to exaggerate comparisons. For example, the most famous "There is a fish in the North, and its name is Kun", which is probably some kind of prehistoric animal. Maybe even marine life. After all, in modern times, it is occasionally reported that prehistoric creatures that were originally thought to be extinct were found in the deep sea, so in ancient times, it was more normal for prehistoric creatures to escape the catastrophe and come out for a walk.
Moreover, in the era of Shan Hai Jing, the ancients did not have enough painters, so they had to use the existing descriptions to make up, and naturally there will be a bunch of oolongs. For example, "Six-legged, four-winged, and snake-body" is described in Shan Hai Jing, which looks like some incredible monster—to put it bluntly, it is actually a dragonfly.
What's more, you can't say that this description is wrong.
This shows the importance of classifying creatures, at least you don't have to make up your own brain for a bunch of similar words.
Of course, Fangzheng said, it would be best to find two tyrannosaurus rex to guard the gate, then find a triceratops to pull the cart, and then get a group of plesiosaurs to show off... Well, it's still waiting for him to do it It's time to dream again in Jurassic Park.
These are both scientific and unscientific.
That is, these prehistoric creatures, especially those who lived for a long time, almost all possess special powers similar to internal forces. Of course, if you say that calling the wind and calling the rain, they cannot achieve it, but it is already very close to the description of internal force in some martial arts TV dramas. For example, Xuanwu has an internal force barrier that can block physical attacks, while Qinglong uses internal force to condense water and vaporize it into ice mist... This is very similar to the golden bell shield or the cold ice mysterious palm.
Fangzheng was amazed by this, but he didn't particularly care. After all, this is the world of Xun Qin Ji. If Fang Zheng's memory is correct, there will be the Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons, breaking the void, and turning the clouds and rains. Leaving aside the Tang Shuanglong, in Shattering the Void and Overturning Clouds and Rain, there are descriptions similar to those of the supreme martial artist Shattering the Void and leaving the mortal world.
Of course, if you look at it from a scientific perspective, then this is actually very similar to human beings breaking through the original boundaries and becoming high-dimensional creatures. From a purely scientific perspective, this is not incomprehensible. But using martial arts to achieve this effect seems very unscientific.
However, Huang Yi's martial arts novels are originally like this, jumping back and forth between scientific and unscientific, so it is not surprising that this world is also like this.
These animals immediately fascinated Ji Yanran, after all, girls like small animals, and Fang Zheng also collected many cute animals, the most famous of which is the giant panda, which is a national treasure. Fangzheng was raised directly in the courtyard of Xiaoyao Palace. Looking at these cute and soft animals, Ji Yanran couldn't walk on the spot, so she rushed to hug them and rub them together.
The appearance of a talented girl and a stone girl has long been forgotten.
"Mr. Fang, if you don't dislike him, Yan Ran is willing to help you with all your strength."
After playing with pandas enough, Ji Yanran's face was full of satisfaction, and her attitude towards Fangzheng was not to mention how good it was.
"Yan Ran knows that there are quite a few talented scholars in the Six Kingdoms who have no ambitions. If Mr. Fang agrees, Yan Ran is willing to invite them to Xiaoyao Palace."
"Of course that's good."
Fangzheng nodded. Although Ji Yanran said that she was not well-known in history, she was at least the most talented woman in the world in "Xun Qin Ji". If nothing else, she must know more people than Fangzheng in this era, and besides idioms and some allusions, Fangzheng Other than the more famous people such as Zhao Gao who turned a deer into a horse, Lian Po who pleaded guilty, Xiangru who returned to Zhao completely, and Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of the ages, basically no one else knew about them.
Before Fangzheng was looking for someone, he basically went to one place, then went to various places to inquire, and then took the initiative to come to chat with the target after confirming the strength of the other party before making an invitation. Of course, this is indeed quite a waste of time, but Fang Zheng has a thousand years to kill, and he doesn't care about this little time.
But now that Ji Yanran is willing to help, of course he is willing, but Ji Yanran also made a request, that is, Fang Zheng should go with him.
Fangzheng didn't care about this, Ji Yanran's exact age was not written in the novel of "Xun Qin Ji", of course, it was a novel, in reality... Well, Fangzheng would not be so stupid as to ask Ji Yanran this question, but he According to visual inspection, Ji Yanran's age should be between eighteen and twenty years old. Considering that the ancients generally married and had children at the age of fourteen, Ji Yanran was considered an older young woman in this era.
If it wasn't for Ji Yanran's unparalleled talent and beauty, she would probably be married and have children by now. But it is also because of her great charm that princes, nobles, literati and scholars from all over the world fall in love with her. The reason why Ji Yanran wants Fangzheng to accompany her at this moment is probably to tell the world that she is famous and beautiful, and other people should stop asking for it. It's no fun.
After all, there are no newspapers, magazines or news broadcasts in this world, so it is impossible for Ji Yanran to advertise. The most convenient way is to take Fang Zheng around in front of the dignitaries of various countries --- no matter what era it is, things like rumors spread faster than the speed of light.
But Fang Zheng didn't care much, after all, even if Ji Yanran had this idea, he didn't tell him, and Fang Zheng's attitude towards Ji Yanran was very calm. On the one hand, he doesn't pay much attention to the relationship between a man and a woman, and besides, Ji Yanran hasn't confessed to herself yet, maybe she will fall in love with Xiang Shaolong according to the original plot in the future?
In any case, it is enough for Fang Zheng to be able to win over talents conveniently. As for Ji Yanran's problem, it will not be too late to deal with it in the future.
However, the return trip was smooth sailing, and the smoothness was...unexpected.
"really weird."
Ji Yanran was dressed in strong attire, and rode forward, looking around with doubts on her face.
"Why is there no one on this road?"
Ji Yanran's doubts are not unreasonable. You must know that the two of them are going back to Daliang on the official road, and this is ancient times, and it is a time when the warring states are constantly fighting. Once the enemy invades, of course it is impossible for you to send a telegram or Just make a phone call to inform the rear.
In fact, on the official roads of the State of Wei, soldiers usually set up defenses, camps, and beacon towers. In this way, once the enemy invades, the news can be passed to Daliang immediately.
However, seeing that there is not even a ghost in front of him, if the enemy country invades, they will rush to the capital without fighting.
This naturally made Ji Yanran very suspicious, but she couldn't understand it. However, Fang Zheng seemed very calm. He rode on the white deer, turned his head and looked back.
"What's going on, don't we know when the people behind come?"
"Behind?"
Ji Yanran turned her head, followed Fang Zheng's gaze and looked back, and soon saw a huge team in the distance slowly advancing along the official road.
And the banner they unfurl is...
"Is it Zhao Guo's envoy?"
"Yeah, it seems that we have a good show to watch."
At this moment, Fangzheng also said with a smile, his eyesight is dozens of times better than that of ordinary people. In Ji Yanran's eyes, he could only see a group of figures, but Fangzheng could clearly see the manly figure in the front standing proudly wearing armor. It was Xiang Shaolong who was riding the horse.
I really didn't expect to meet again here.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong and others, Fangzheng also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. If he remembered correctly, in the original book, Xiang Shaolong accompanied Princess Zhao to marry Wei to steal Lu Gong's secret records.
Although the plot is a bit different from the original book, but I don't know how Ji Yanran will react when she meets Xiang Shaolong here?
He did have a little interest in it.
