It was the end of the year again, and the winter solstice was approaching. After the first snow in the capital, it was heavy snow. It rose intermittently for two months. The entire imperial capital was soaked in snow, covered in silver, still majestic, but also a little bit cold and desolate.

"Wutong Li" is very eye-catching in the capital. It has the highest appearance and the loneliest standing.

Mr. Zhang told Yi Chen that the reason why this building is called "Wutongqi" is to take the allusion of Zifu and the Phoenix Ghost Star. This Lizhou was not the capital of the country today. As early as thousands of years ago, when gods, demons and ghosts were mixed in history, it was called "Qifeng". It was the place where the gods, phoenixes appeared in the world, and it was also the place where Zifu made great achievements and dominate the world. The location of Wutong habitat was the location of Zifu Palace in the past.

Today, Mr. Zhang did not teach Yi Chen in his thatched cottage, but asked his little boy to drive a mule cart and lead Yi Chen out of the north gate, faced the wind and snow to climb Jiuding Mountain outside the city, and overlooked the entire imperial capital from a high place.

But in the snow, there were still a constant stream of pedestrians on the streets, which were as if they were drawing the complex Silk Road patterns on the brocade. The palace city was deeply surrounded by a ring, which was particularly luxurious and magnificent.

The wind on the mountain was about to blow Yi Chen to chase him, and he was wrapped tightly in his outer robe and cloak but still could not block the squeaky cold air. In this way, even the scene would be fading.

On the other hand, Mr. Zhang can stand up in the wind and show a sense of outrage.

Looking at the imperial capital, Mr. Zhang was always filled with emotion, with joy and sorrow mixed together, and it condensed into a tangled expression that was difficult to understand.

Yi Chen chased and rubbed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyes and looked at his teacher. Mr. Zhang did not look at him, but his thoughts fell on him.

"Do you think it's a prosperous era now?"

"Ah... let's count it?"

Mr. Zhang smiled and glanced at him.

It would be good if the little doll could get an answer to such a profound question. Of course, he didn't expect Yi Chen to be able to describe a flower.

"But you still remember the theory of 'Tiger and Rabbit in the Mountain' you and I discussed?"

"I remember, the teacher said that both tigers and rabbits are creatures in the mountains, and their actions and births are natural and none of them. They are right or wrong. These two completely opposite spirits are the pillars of balance of essence and energy in the mountains, and they cannot be easily destroyed or deviated from either." Yi Chenzhui understood the literal meaning of this principle, so he naturally repeated it.

"Good. Do you remember, we also mentioned the 'grass'?"

"Grass? Oh, remember."

Mr. Zhang turned to look at him, "What do you think of grass?"

"..." Yi Chen thought about it.

What can grass have? The essence of spiritual energy? It is everywhere in the mountains?

Yi Chen looked after Bai Xue for a while and was stunned before answering tentatively: "All the mountains and fields are the foundation of the forest?"

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang smiled and lit the tip of his nose, saying, "You're really confused."

It turns out that I was really confused.

"Grass is the foundation of the forest and is also the largest number of creatures in the mountains. Their life and death depend on the hands of animals such as "tigers" and "rabbits".

Yi Chen was chasing him and listened quietly.

"This is balance. If the balance between animals is broken, the grass and trees will only passively shift, or will be incurable, or will be defeated and destroyed. Similarly, the fate of the animals will be held in the hands of the grass and trees." At this point, Mr. Zhang stopped and looked at Yi Chen chasing and waited for him to go on.

This principle is actually very simple. Even a sensible little baby knows that without herbivorous animals, he cannot survive, and without prey, carnivorous animals. The plants and trees look weak and not worth mentioning, but in fact they also hold the lifeline of the most ferocious animals in the world.

In fact, both of these two hold the lifelines of each other.

"If there is no grass, there will be no animals."

Mr. Zhang nodded heavily and then looked at the imperial capital from afar. "If it is replaced by the principles of the present world, it is 'the people are the foundation of the country and the country is the governance of the people', both are indispensable."

Today, Jun Han finally returned to the capital with the last tail of the year.

More than a dozen riding black horses came on the snow. Everyone on the horse was wearing black light armor and suddenly emerged from a frost and snowy sky, which was very eye-catching.

The Tielin Army was particularly murderous. The people in the city did not dare to look up when they were far away. The black cavalry crossed the city and led the thin snow to jump lightly, just like a leap. In the blink of an eye, they went far away to the end of the streets and alleys. More than ten cavalry separated from Jun Han at the intersection and went straight back to the military camp. Even though Jun Han had no urgent matters, he rode his horse and trotted all the way and returned to the general's mansion quickly.

Shu Ling had already received the letter and waited by the door. When Jun Han stopped his horse stance, he stepped forward and led the horse and entered the gate of the general's mansion with Jun Han.

Even on a heavy snowy day, Jun Han's light armor was only wrapped in light clothes, and his hands were cold and white all the way.

Even the wolf demon in the northern border has reached the extreme cold and winter, he knows to avoid winter snow.

Shu Ling glanced at him and said, "It's better to add more clothes to ride a horse. The winter in Lizhou is not much less than that in the northern border."

Jun Han curled his lips indifferently, "The severe winter is bitter and cold, no matter how much clothes you wear, you will inevitably have a lot of them, so why not reduce the burden."

“…”

What a fallacy!

"How is the matter left to you?"

Shu Ling was confused at first, and then he remembered that Jun Han should be asking about finding a casting master.

"Is this a hurry?"

Jun Han smiled and glanced at him.

The two walked into the study. Jun Han was a little tired and sat down in front of the desk. Leng armor was still hanging on his body, invading the coldness of the ice and snow all the way. The light clothes inside were nothing, and it was quite biting at this moment.

But he didn't care much.

"The weapons of mortals are somewhat reluctant to deal with natural creatures. If they cannot be strengthened as soon as possible, maybe in a few years, the situation will not be stable."

Shu Ling's expression was a little calm, but after hearing Jun Han's words, he did not answer.

Shu Ling's heart is very soft. Over the years, Jun Han and Baili Yun have already sharpened a heart that is invulnerable to swords and guns, but he still has gentleness.

Jun Han saw his thoughts and said slowly: "Whenever there is change, there must be sacrifices. After the change, it takes time to stabilize the pattern. If there is no strong enough method, the shock can easily evolve into subversion."

"Actually..." Shu Ling paused.

Jun Han vaguely felt the tendons in his brain began to twist slightly again, so he rubbed his temples and said, "Speak."

"In fact, even without ghost stars, you can create stronger weapons."

Jun Han put his hand down, did not deny it, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed gently, "Then you have to find someone for me first."

"..." Shu Ling was silent at first, thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Did you agree?"

Jun Han's eyes were slightly sunk, and he thought for a while, "This matter must be decided according to the specific situation. When you first find someone at the beginning of the year, you can strengthen the weapon as soon as possible. Now, although the countries in the east have conquered, there are still disasters, so you must guard against it."

In addition to the demon kingdoms in the east, the demon forces in the northern and western regions should not be underestimated, and those are probably truly unfathomable.

In fact, what is known in this world is not that scary. What is really scary is often the things that are long-lasting or new monsters that are unsightly. Whenever you encounter these unexpected things, you will always catch them off guard.

This is the case in the Northern and Western Regions. To this day, no one can thoroughly explore the secrets during the period, but they seem to have a little movement to turn the world upside down.

This was the case with the previous King of Beishan. God knows how a wolf demon has such a powerful force.

The ghost star is also an indescribable force from Guyuan. Jun Han has never experienced this force, and has only been intimidated by Xu Zao before.

It was when I was thrown into the immortal cage that time, although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I felt the pressure of the power through countless layers of magic circles.

However, such a terrible force can hide silently in a child's body. Even Lianyin, who was born to be particularly sensitive to spiritual breath, seemed to have not poked this abnormality from him.

This is much scarier than those things that are arrogant and arrogant, with the words "domineering" written on their faces.

It is unpredictable. Under the seemingly obedient appearance, there is a destructive inner world hidden. Although he has the qualifications of "domineering", he must start from the dark in a low-key manner - Jun Han has a personal experience of this kind of terribleness.

Since my thoughts are all about the "ghost star", I naturally cannot avoid being involved in Yi Chen chasing. So Jun Han raised his eyes and asked, "Where is Chen chasing?"

"I went up the mountain with Mr. Zhang early in the morning."

Jun Han nodded slightly, fell out of the door, and crossed the courtyard wall and saw a corner of Jiuding Mountain.

This mountain is also very interesting.

Legend has it that after Zifu stabilized the four seas, he cast a nine-legged tripod with the flames of the ghost star, and placed it on the north side of the city through the oracle. After one night, the nine-legged tripod turned into a mountain, becoming a barrier blocking the northern border.

"All the four realms are kings, the people are the foundation of the country, the ministers are the importance of the court, and the kings are the town of a country. The three are each responsible and indispensable. If you stay in a different position, your heart will be the same. Do you understand?" Mr. Zhang asked Yi Chen and was confused.

There are so many chattering about this, it is just a way to govern the country and ensure the stability of the country. Yi Chen is chasing his age, and no matter how focused he is, he can only listen to the fog.

When Mr. Zhang saw the doll, he opened his eyes and sighed - he was still young and said it was too early.

When Yi Chen saw the teacher sighing, he hurriedly squeezed his mind and forced two words: "Working together, uniting..."

Mr. Zhang squinted his eyes and tasted it.

It's still on the point, although I haven't realized the key points.

But for such a young child, it's pretty good.

Mr. Zhang used to teach scholars who were well-read and had a good foundation in poetry and books. It was the first time for a baby who had not yet recognized all of his words. He was inevitably a little unhappy.

"Have you heard of the legend of Jiuding Mountain?"

"No."

It is said that the original body of Jiuding Mountain is a nine-legged tripod made by Zifu with the fire of the spiritual phoenix. It was offered to the north of the city by the oracle. It became a mountain overnight. The evil demons in the northern border did not dare to invade from then on.

It is said that in the past, the gods in the sky suppressed all the evil beasts and demons they had subdued outside the four realms of the Central Plains, so they cast four divine artifacts on the four boundaries. When the divine artifacts become mountains, they can be connected to them as walls, and use the power of the gods to prevent external troubles for mortals.

After hearing this, Zifu asked, "Isn't this the four realms used as cages to imprison people in the mountain wall?"

The god did not answer, but only told him that if this was not the case, Jiuding Mountain would become an ordinary mountain after three thousand years because of the dispersion of divine power. At that time, the demons would enter the ordinary realm and cause harm to the world.

Zifu did not cast the remaining three magical artifacts.

In the eyes of mortals, gods may be immortal, but there has never been an eternal thing in this world. It is common for the feng shui to change the world in the cycle of feng shui.

When there are still gods in the world, mortals can certainly rely on the power of the four mountains to be birds in golden cages. If the gods die, the artifacts will surely fall, and mortals will not be able to become enemies with external forces at that time.

As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times, and the potential of ordinary spirits can only be truly stimulated when they are alive and die.
