Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 462 Zhou Jian
"This is just great."

"If another person with the surname 'Shi' were to come, I can't even imagine how chaotic the Qin Dynasty would become."

The "Horus's Birthday Celebration" coincided with the "An Lushan Rebellion".
This is sure to cause a huge fire in the West Sea region!
"I can't wait."

He Bo muttered to himself from the side.

Abandon the physiognomy of tilapia.

Having learned his lesson and grown stronger from his shame, Nile Water God, who transformed himself into the appearance of a local crocodile, is now practicing a death roll in the water, huddled against a clump of seaweed.

He interjected, "Could you read something nice?"

"Watch out, or Ying Qin might gang up on you and beat you up!"

He Bo waved his hand dismissively, "I suppress the world and rule for eternity. Even if you gather the power of the Qin Dynasty, what can you do to me!"

Wealthy and powerful ordinary people,

They can still be arrogant and openly flaunt their wealth and power.

Even amidst public outcry, they weren't afraid to issue a public notice, which, amidst seemingly righteous words, prominently displayed the words "What can you do to me?"

Not to mention ghosts and gods?

"What about the Liu family as well?"

"Aren't they almost at the Western Sea?"

As the Han dynasty's state declined day by day,
Even Liu Laosan, living in the Central Plains, couldn't withstand the wailing and sighs of his descendants.

In addition, he was also very eager to see his old rival have his fun.

He clapped his hands and decided to take a few of Liu's descendants to form a tour group and travel along the "Unified" underworld road to the West Sea to witness the end of the Qin Dynasty.

"I knocked it down once with my own hands back then, and now I can watch it fall down again with my own eyes!"

What an incredible coincidence!

Emperor Taizu of Han, Liu Bang, stood with his hands behind his back and expressed deep emotion.

After all,

With a flourish of his sleeve, he took away the fine horse provided by Liu Che, the money provided by Liu He, the food provided by Liu Ying… and all the dead ghosts mentioned above.
He patted his horse's rump and left the Central Plains, heading to his father, who had been lost in a foreign land for many years.

Those sons of the Liu family who followed Emperor Taizu also said happily:
"Being an emperor or a feudal lord during one's lifetime, one cannot travel to many places."

"Now we can even go to the Western Sea!"

"What a pleasure!"

Only the Qin rulers, who knew nothing of this, were unwilling to give up their family's foundation in the Western Sea, and lacked the unrestrained thinking of the Liu family. They remained in the same place, sighing at the various aspects of human life.

"It's already good that they didn't start fighting right after they met!"

"Hold together?"

"There is absolutely no such possibility!"

Rather than believing this,
It's better to believe that the dead can be resurrected and that Egyptian temples can stand up!

"correct!"

"How much progress have you made on the medical knowledge about Egyptian heart-and-lung extraction that I asked you to collect before?"

The Nile crocodile then stood on its hind legs, used its short, thick front claws to pick up the scales on its body, and handed a handful to its main body.

"It's all here."

"So, what do you need this for?"

"Of course, it's for studying!"

He Bo clutched his chest, praising himself, "How many people in the world are like me, who love learning and are open to all kinds of knowledge?"

The Nile crocodile squinted at him, casting a disdainful glance.

"Well, actually, I met an interesting guy while I was swimming in the Yangtze River."

"I promised him something, so I'm coming to Egypt in the Western Sea to seek Buddhist scriptures..."

……

People who frequently commit murder and dispose of bodies know that...

Places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and few people around, are very likely to attract some dirty things.

He Bo, who has never been a good person, is one of them.

Previously,
He roamed freely through the river, feeling the Yangtze's reluctance as he let out a loud, raucous laugh.

The river flows very freely.
He Bo's lubrication was also quite lax.

Until the ghosts and spirits, with their eyes closed and focused solely on feeling the nourishment of the river, followed a tributary and arrived at a mountain wilderness.

Not far away,
There exists a mass grave, a place where prisoners executed in nearby cities were placed.

When He Bo finally opened his eyes, shaking off the tide from the not-so-gentle embrace of the Yangtze River,

Then they saw a young man sneakily carrying a shovel into the mass grave and forcefully shoveling it into a fresh grave.

He Bo immediately became curious.

He also followed this person furtively, observing him secretly.

The man pulled a recently deceased person out of the grave, bowed to the body, and then began to take off his clothes.

He Bo found this quite exciting, but was also worried that making a sound suddenly would disturb the other person's enjoyment.

So he secretly struggled with the decision, wondering whether he should go to the underworld to find another participant and invite him to witness this miraculous scene.

Fortunately,

Young people aren't sick, after all.

He simply pulled out several small knives hidden in his clothes and then cut into the fresh meat in front of him.

He Bo watched his actions quietly, and then a feeling of craving arose in his mouth.

When the man casually placed a piece of meat aside, He Bo couldn't help but step forward and stop him.

"Don't waste it."

"If you don't want it, you can use it to feed the creatures in the forest!"

The young man had no idea that besides the person dumping the body, there would be other people involved.

Moreover, someone who can utter such arrogant and outrageous words is probably a madman or some kind of man-eating monster.

He immediately screamed in fright, arched his backside, and shrank back, making begging noises.

He Bo didn't try to comfort him, but instead craned his neck to look at the person who had offered himself up beside him. He noticed that although the person's features were somewhat patchy, they were still fairly neat overall.

If the kid in front of him has a good memory and is quick-witted, he can put the things he took out back together.

"What are you doing?"

After the three-way meeting, brought about by fate, calmed down a bit, He Bo squatted on the other side of the sacrificial hero, looking at the young man whose hands were covered in blood, and asked him a question out of curiosity.

The man lowered his head and said:
"I'm just curious... curious about what the human body is all about."

The man who called himself "Zhou Jian" then explained.

He first stretched out his hands to show He Bo his naturally six fingers, and then said:
"Although my family didn't dislike me because of this, people around me inevitably gossiped."

"After hearing it so many times, I initially felt a little uncomfortable, but then I developed an extra curiosity about the human body."

Zhou Jian,

Born into a local landlord's family, they could be described as "quite wealthy".

His parents were middle-aged when they had their only son, so even though Zhou Jian had a congenital disability, they did not diminish their love for him.

And that is why
Even though he heard a lot of gossip from outsiders when he was young, Zhou Jian did not distort his heart or develop bad feelings.

and at least years old,

Knowing he had no chance of being recommended for the civil service exam and becoming a scholar, Zhou Jian sought out a renowned local physician to learn his miraculous medical skills.

The more I studied, the stronger the questions that arose in my mind because of the abnormality of my body became.

Why after taking medication?
Will the patient get better?
The human body and herbs are two unrelated things, so why do they produce such a change when they come together?

Why does the heart beat?
What exactly causes the circulation of blood and qi?
These unanswerable questions piled up in young Zhou Jian's mind like a mountain.

When you can no longer hold it in and need to release...
Zhou Jian then went to find a butcher and began to observe his work.

He offered money to pave the way, requesting that the man teach him the skills of "slaughtering sheep and butchering oxen." Of course,

Not long after,

Zhou Jian was driven away by the butcher because he cut meat too slowly and always tried to understand the cattle and sheep too much.

"Working like a woman embroidering clothes!"

"Keeping you around is just a hindrance to my selling my body!"

But Zhou Jian was still satisfied.

Therefore, he behaved himself for a while, only staying at home and starving himself until he was skin and bones, so that he could count the number of bones in his body.

Several years later, he reverted to his old ways and had the idea of ​​openly sharing his innermost thoughts with his fellow fans.

Harboring such desires,
Zhou Jian also brought money and found a criminal who had been sentenced to death.

He promised the other party:
"After you die, I will bury you and make offerings so that you can have a peaceful place in the underworld."

As long as you offer your body.

The other party thought the deal was pretty good.

Although the ancient sages of the Chinese nation had long taught that "our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents," and even the law regarded cutting off hair and beard as a form of humiliation and punishment,
But when a person is about to die, with their head about to fall off, why bother with all that else?
The criminal was a highway robber who had killed many people in order to rob them of money.

He believed that after his death, it was normal for his body to be humiliated, damaged, or even eaten by beasts, and besides, he could use it to earn a coffin and offerings for himself.

As for whether Zhou Jian will keep his promise?
snort!
When he dies and goes to the underworld, he can find ghosts and gods to complain to!
This pale-faced, thin boy will die sooner or later.

We'll settle all the old and new scores then, what's there to be afraid of!
So he readily agreed.
As agreed, Zhou Jian came to dig up the grave shortly after Zhou Jian was executed and placed in a mass grave, and had a deep conversation with the piece of flesh left behind by the sinner.

He Bo listened quietly, and felt a sense of admiration for the young man's ambition.

After all, this kind of research,
There are not many in the world of the Chinese.

With Confucianism being strengthened, this path has been further blocked.

But a person is a person,
The heart needs to beat.
Blood needs to circulate.

If you want to cure diseases and understand what "human beings" are, you have to take out your own heart, lungs, and intestines, wash them, and expose them to the elements.

So He Bo said:
"I am also a doctor, and I have some research experience in this area."

"If you're interested, we can discuss this further."

Zhou Jian was delighted upon hearing this and invited He Bo to his home later.

Currently,

He still has to continue to pour his heart out to the guy lying there, and then prepare a new grave for him!

He Bo didn't mind.

He followed Zhou Jian, head bowed, and used a small knife to pry at the other person, pointing and gesturing in various places.

The exchange between the two sides was very pleasant.

The person lying down also remained silent, expressing their approval through silence.

After getting to know each other for a while,
When Zhou Jian enthusiastically introduced to He Bo the parts of the animalistic artifacts he had secretly made and collected,
He Bocai slapped his forehead, remembering that Egyptians were also quite knowledgeable about the art of open communication.

The latter's craftsmanship

But it is something that even the Pharaoh praised!
Therefore,

He Bo turned and walked towards the Nile River, reaching out his hands to his transformed clone, begging for knowledge.

……

"So that's it."

"I thought you'd filled too many jars and were thinking of making some cured meat on the side!"

"Hmph, who would eat something like that?"

"We, the gentlemen of the Xia people, cook directly in large pots!"

Cooking skills like this,

Aside from the culinary master King Wei of Qi, and the expert culinary enthusiast Duke Ai of Qi,
During the Chu-Han Contention, Xiang Yu used this technique quite a few times!

"You must work hard, like the marmots in the river and the golden eagles of Xingshan, to contribute to bringing all the Chinese people together, understand?"

Before leaving,

As usual, He Bo earnestly advised his clone.

Although he knew it in his heart.
This being, whose nature originates from the same source as oneself, will not be entirely obedient.

But what if someone with congenital intellectual disability is successfully "persuaded" by He Bo, the original being?

It's free anyway, so I'm just fooling myself.

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try!
The Nile crocodile immediately bared its mouthful of teeth and said:
"There are only so few people in the river, and Xingshan is even more desolate. What else can those two guys do besides dig in the dirt and drink water?"

As everyone knows,

Where there is fertile soil, virtuous men of the Chinese nation will flourish.
Conversely, we can deduce that...
Where there is no fertile soil, the number of virtuous people will be scarce.

in this way,

Far from home, and with few of my old relatives' groundhogs and eagles around, I can only use work to distract myself from the loneliness in my life.

Where does it resemble Egypt?
This place was so prosperous that it could even witness the "Horus's Birthday Celebration" and the "An Lushan Rebellion"!

For this,

He Bo simply said matter-of-factly, "If you don't work hard, how am I supposed to swim in the sea?"

"I've long wanted to build myself a crystal palace underground in the East China Sea!"

As He Bo gained control of more and more mountains and rivers, the sea's rejection of him diminished.

When they captured the Yellow River,

Only the pitiful He Bo, who could only wander back and forth at its estuary,
Now we can swim freely in more remote areas for a while!

It seems that the high mountains added to He Bo's weight, allowing him to act as a "pillar of strength" in the sea.
And the counter-proof of "the ocean embraces all rivers":
The truth that "all rivers can converge into the sea" holds true.

Of course,
That one in Nan Yinzhou was extremely terrifying.
The giant river disguised as the sea is an exception, capable of sweeping away Yu the Great who was trying to control the floods, making the Foolish Old Man who was trying to move mountains despair, and making Jingwei who was trying to fill the sea realize her mistake.

After all, the sea area near the mouth of the Amazon River has been eroded into a freshwater state.

"Once I conquer the Yangtze River in the Central Plains, you can conquer the Nile River in the west... The Western Sea may well become an inland sea of ​​our Xia Dynasty, and the Mediterranean Sea may well become an inland sea of ​​our Xia Dynasty!"

Nile Crocodile asked, "The Western Sea?"

"Wasn't it already an inland sea of ​​the Qin state?"

When the Qin people were still huddled in the Epang Palace in a corner of the Western Sea...
They have built ships and conducted some explorations along the western sea.

Therefore,
The people of Qin had a basic understanding of what kind of scenery they would see after crossing the towering mountain range they named "Beishan" (North Mountain).

After moving south to Persia and occupying the fertile lands of Mesopotamia, the Qin people, who were naturally fond of farming, did not forget the plains surrounding the northern part of the Western Sea and abandoned their old ways for something new.

Although it was indeed colder there and the land was more difficult to cultivate...

But as long as it's a place to farm, we'll take it over first!

then,

The Qin people sailed across the Western Sea and arrived there. After driving away the local wild humanoids, they began to claim their land.

After some twists and turns,

The Qin people have already firmly seized the claim to the entire Western Sea, and even some lands further north and west!

unfortunately,

The people of Qin are the people of Qin.
He Bo is He Bo.
How can they be compared?
"My mind is made up!"

"Once we take over the Yangtze River, we'll use the Black Sea as an experiment to see if we can evolve from being the master of rivers to being the master of the sea!"

He Bo raised his hand confidently, "No matter what, dozens of mountains versus a vast ocean, the advantage is on my side!"

"You all, get them!"

The Nile crocodile silently crawled away.

He also left behind a sentence:
"I don't understand why you came here to feed that kid Egyptian leftovers."

"In a few more years, he will be able to have a deep conversation with the corpses scattered all over the ground."
