Chapter 190 Yunmeng Yunying

The vast and boundless Yunmeng Lake, the endless blue water surface is like an inverted sky, between the water and the sky, endless water vapor rises under the sun, and from the sky, it appears a colorful and gorgeous scene, with countless rainbows interweaving.

The city located on the bank of Yunmeng Lake is shrouded in the mist and looks like a dream.

On the banks of the Yingshui River, dozens of miles northwest of the city, Jiang Shan and Zhong Yu seemed to have appeared out of thin air - the water droplet aircraft that landed on the water's edge did not cancel its stealth mode.

Jiang Shan put the water drop aircraft into his Qiankun bag with his backhand, and a pearl as big as a fist fell. Jiang Shan caught it and put it in his arms.

It's the Qiankun Pearl.

The Qiankun Pearl contained a small world inside, and it couldn't be put into the Qiankun Bag. So when collecting water drops, it was automatically discharged.

After putting away the Qiankun Pearl, Jiang Shan said to Zhong Yu who was looking at the water, "I don't know what this city is called, but it looks several times bigger than the capital of Gu State. The Miao State is so prosperous."

"This is Yunying City." Zhong Yu came back to his senses and nodded, "Although You Miao is located on the edge of the barbarian border, it is a big country, more powerful than Gu, Jing, Li and other countries."

He said: "The book says that the Miao Kingdom had two big cities. One was Chiyou City, which was the capital of the country, and the other was Yunying City."

"Because the Miao Kingdom rarely communicates with the central government, I don't know whether the Miao Kingdom has built other cities besides Chiyou City and Yunying City."

Then he smiled and said, "The origin of Yunying City lies in the early days when the You Miao people migrated to Yunmeng Lake. At that time, the descendants of Chiyou were a pair of brother and sister. The brother built Chiyou City, and the sister built Yunying City on the bank of the lake. The name Yunying came from the fact that it was built at the junction of Yunmeng Lake and Yingshui River, and the fact that the sister vowed not to marry, so she was called Yunying Weimarried."

Jiang Shan couldn't help but laugh: "So Yunying still has this intention before she gets married?"

Then he changed the topic and said, "From now on, you are my younger brother and I am your older brother. I am Jiang Shan and you are Jiang He. Remember not to let anything slip."

Zhong Yu nodded and said, "I remember. My name is Jiang He."

Jiang Shan laughed and grabbed Zhong Yu's arm. A faint golden light flowed around his body. He held Zhong Yu and jumped up, turning into a stream of light. Soon, they arrived at the outskirts of Yunying city.

Yunying City is very large, but the real main body of Yunying City, which is the city built in the Dayu era 30,000 years ago, is now the inner city of Yunying.

Over the years, thanks to the rich resources of Yunmeng Lake, more and more people came to make a living here, and thus a series of circular outer cities were formed outside Yunying City.

The outer city has no walls.

It is a series of settlements that are staggered and intertwined, forming blocks. These blocks are connected into rings, and they are lined up in rows, surrounding the inner city.

Jiang Shan and Zhong Yu found a simple courtyard in a neighborhood at the outermost edge of the settlement. They rented it for a month in exchange for a piece of beautiful jade and settled down temporarily.

Following the middle-aged fisherman, who was wearing simple linen clothes, had a weather-beaten face and smelled of fish, into the courtyard, the fishy smell that hit me was ten times stronger than that on the fisherman.

Zhongyu couldn't help but pinch her nose.

The fisherman said, "This was my brother's house. He died in Yunmeng Lake. It has not been cleaned for several months. I still have to go to the fish market to sell fish, so I need to clean it."

He said this a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "We can do it ourselves."

The fisherman smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

After all, the people at the bottom of society also have their own cunning, which is harmless.

The fisherman said, "Then I will come back in a month."

Jiang Shan nodded, called him and said, "You make a living by fishing, so you must be very familiar with Yunmeng Lake. My two brothers have heard of the name of Yunmeng Lake for a long time, and we came from afar just to enter Yunmeng Lake and take a look at the scenery. Can you tell us about Yunmeng Lake?"

He added: "I am willing to pay for it."

When the fisherman heard this, a strange look flashed across his face; it was like the expression of an old farmer in the countryside when he heard that a young man from the city wanted to go to the fields to plow.

He might be secretly complaining in his heart.

Then he said, "No need for compensation, what the young man has given me is already enough, I feel embarrassed."

Then he said, "If you two are willing to listen, I will tell you about my fishing experience."

Sitting on the ground under a tall mulberry tree in the yard, the fisherman talked about his experiences.

He first said: "Everyone says that Yunmeng Lake is good. What's good about it? There are a lot of fish, which makes it convenient for us to make a living. But that's all."

"For us, Yunmeng Lake is not only rich, but also dangerous."

"Within thirty miles of the shore, the waters are safe. But beyond thirty miles, life and death are out of your control."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"However, over the years, all the fish in the waters within thirty miles have been caught. Except for the two fishing seasons of Jumang and Ruoshou each year, there is a harvest within thirty miles. If you want to catch fish at other times, you have to risk going to waters thirty miles away."

"The deeper you go into Yunmeng Marsh, the more beasts and ferocious birds you'll see. Every time someone dies at the hands of a beast or bird, not even a bone can be found."

He sighed and said, "That's how my brother died. I watched him get eaten by a huge fish with a red face, and I could only flee."

Then he said, "Strange beasts and vicious birds are the first, and the unpredictable weather is the second. Sometimes when you are fishing, a strong wind will suddenly blow and huge waves will be raised; sometimes there will be thunder in a sunny day, and the lightning will strike the water surface, and those who are hit will die."

He said: "Especially between the Zhurong and Ruohu seasons, there are ten days of strong winds. The winds are so strong that the sky is dark and you can't see your hand in front of you. If you go fishing in the marsh at this time, few people will survive."

He sighed again, "Only at this time can we catch the most delicious Yunmeng fish. In order to get ahead in one step, many people take the risk of entering the marsh on windy days. Out of a thousand people, not even one may come back."

"The windy days between the Zhurong and Rushu seasons are indeed dangerous, and the thunderous days between the Xuanming and Jumang seasons are even more dangerous. It is clearly the time when winter turns to spring, but there are thunderstorms everywhere. Except for those powerful bigwigs in the inner city, we, the little people who make a living by fishing and hunting, don't dare to enter the marsh on a thunderstorm day."

Fierce beasts and unpredictable weather! Fierce beasts need no further explanation, but the unpredictable weather also includes strong winds and thunderstorms.

It can be seen that the environment of Yunmeng Lake is so harsh that it is unimaginable.

Of course, strong winds and thunderstorms are seasonal and not unavoidable; however, sudden changes in weather are the most difficult to guard against.

Jiang Shan chewed over the fisherman's words and suddenly said, "Yunying City has been built here for 30,000 years. The Yunmeng Marsh is indeed dangerous, but over such a long period of time, haven't there been heroes who have explored safe routes and drawn maps of Yunmeng?"

The fisherman looked confused and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Shan nodded, not taking it seriously. The fisherman was just a low-level citizen in Yunying City, and there weren't many things he could touch.
