When did the phoenix first appear?

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" has clouds: "There are birds, its shape is like a chicken, five colors and words, the name is Fenghuang." ”

Judging from this sentence, Fenghuang should be a kind of bird. But the same "Classic of Mountains and Seas" also recorded: "There are three five birds, one is called the emperor bird, one is called the Luan bird, and the other is called the phoenix bird." ”

This again becomes three kinds of birds, which is correct, and the jury is still inconclusive.

As for later generations, people usually interpret the phoenix and the phoenix as the same bird that is different from the male and female, which is actually a kind of monarchical packaging.

The phoenix is not any bird that exists in reality. But after the Qin and Han dynasties, the dragon gradually became the symbol of the emperor, so there was a corresponding image of the queen's concubines, that is, the phoenix emperor became a phoenix, and it was quickly feminized.

To put it bluntly, there was the concept of the phoenix first, and people tried to find some birds to echo and fit the so-called phoenix.

Therefore, in ancient times, there was no such thing as the word phoenix. So what is its true body?

"There are five phoenixes, five phoenixes, more green ones, more yellow eagles, more purple cormorants, and more white birds. In other words, these five species of birds are all phoenixes.

The "Autumn Water" chapter said: "There are birds in the south, and their names are chicks, not only sycamores, but not only sycamores, but not practice, no food, and no drink." ”

It's not that the sycamore doesn't rest, it's not that the fruit of the bamboo doesn't eat, it's not that the sweet spring water doesn't drink—this chick is a real phoenix.

…………

The southernmost point of Guangdong Province, Xu Wen.

It is also the southernmost point of the Xia mainland, and further south is the Qiongzhou Strait, which is only 14.6 nautical miles (27 kilometers) away from Qiongzhou in a straight line.

There are many islands in the county, and there are more than 50 harbors and ports alone.

In the southwest, there is a large mangrove area, which is a special type of tree that grows along the coast and has been eroded by the tide for a long time. As a result, after the environmental changes, the mangrove forest expanded wildly, and even spread into the seawater, truly becoming a spiritual plant with both land and water.

The roots of the trees are rooted in the water, and they are constantly coiled upward, and one by one is entangled, forming an island of trees, which can be walked freely, which is also a spectacle.

"Rustle!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and six or seven people brushed aside the branches and leaves, revealing their tired figures. They are members of the Red Lotus Sect, responsible for searching for Xu Wen's area, and the leader is called Lin Sheng, who is Lin Zhe's brother.

The real body of the phoenix is not easy to find, what is looking for clues is clues, which requires meticulousness and patience. A few people rummaged through Xu Wen and found nothing, and plunged into the mangrove forest again, if there were no clues, they could only go back to report.

"Ah Sheng, how strong do you think that bird's cultivation is? Who is Mom and Dad? You can't jump out of a stone, right?"

One of them asked casually as he walked.

"Huainanzi" has written, Yu Jia gives birth to a flying dragon, and a flying dragon gives birth to a phoenix emperor. Yu Jia is the ancestor of the legendary flying animal, and of course no one has ever seen it. ”

Lin Sheng is in his thirties, has an elegant temperament, has read a lot of books, and said with a smile: "There are too many artificial decorations for these things, just listen to them." When the East China Sea turned into a dragon, didn't the official say that the dragon was the essence of heaven and earth, and was born in response to feelings? I guess the phoenix was the same, it was born in response to feelings. ”

"That lewd dragon is also worthy of the spirit of heaven and earth?" someone laughed loudly.

The others didn't refute it, and they all showed disdain.

At the beginning, the common people were still in awe of the green dragon, but then the truth slowly surfaced, and they only knew:, you are not a real dragon, just a long worm.

Shh

This perception is far behind, if you don't take the right road and take the dry road, it is no wonder that the realm is extremely difficult and stagnant. Over time, when I looked at the dragon again, I didn't feel anything, but I had a faint sense of contempt.

"The lewd dragon incarnates into a human immortal realm. If this phoenix is really born of heaven and earth, how can it not be bad? We must not come close, lest we set ourselves on fire. Someone reminded again.

"It's okay, we're not catching it, what are we afraid of. If you really want to find it, can't you take a look at it from afar?"

"Don't worry, this shows that we are prosperous in the world, and only then can we have a phoenix auspiciousness, which should be born. ”

"That's it, Xiangrui!"

Most of the people didn't care, after all, in the bones of the Xia people, this kind of blood flowed. When it comes to dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and pandas, first of all, it is not fear, but a strange sense of closeness.

It's like what glory.

The mangrove forest is vast and dense, with tree islands adjacent to each other, leaving only a gap for small boats to pass through, and you can jump over it with a quick stride.

From time to time, flocks of birds flew around, and the noise was startled by a burst of insects. The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the afterglow is soaked, and the sun is rolling on the tree island and the sea, warm and bloody.

Everyone jumped around the island, searching for a long time, and Lin Sheng, who led the team, suddenly paused, and put his index finger to his lips: "Shhhhhhh

The team cooperated tacitly, and the rest of the people immediately dispersed, forming the most perfect ambush circle.

After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of brushing in the depths, quickly approached, and rushed away from the bushes, and a large blue bird more than half a man tall jumped out.

This bird is called the blue-feathered quail, and after alienation, it cannot fly, and can only glide at low altitude, but it runs fast, has a ferocious temperament, and is a carnivorous.

In the past, there would have been a battle, but today it is strange. The blue-feathered quail glanced at it, ignored it, and walked away with its round belly.

"Hmm, maybe I've just eaten enough, so I'm too lazy to go to war......"

Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it, and beckoned his companion to go deeper. After walking for a short time, I smelled a trace of blood and found a huge corpse in a clearing.

It was also a bird, most of the meat had been gnawed off, and the hard roots around it were covered with paw prints.

"Gray-headed Bulbul, it's been dead for a long time, what is the cause of death......

One person turned over the corpse and said strangely: "Hey, there is no serious injury, and the muscles and internal organs are not damaged, but it looks like a ......."

"What is it like?"

"Scared to death. ”

Scared to death......

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were happy, and Lin Sheng hurriedly said: "Quick, look around to see if there are any clues?"

Everyone immediately dispersed.

"These paw prints are all of blue-feathered quails, and no second creature has ever come. ”

"There were no signs of a fight around, and there was no breath left. ”

The bird didn't seem to struggle much, and fell with a thud. ”

"Is it a phoenix?"

Several people regathered, and they all looked at Lin Sheng hotly. Lin Sheng thought for a moment and said: "The gray-headed partridge is not weak, and it is also a hegemon in the mangrove forest, and being able to kill it so easily shows that the strength is very strong." And more importantly......"

He paused, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone, "Have you noticed that we have searched the mangrove forest, and we have not found any traces of large creatures, including people, inhabiting and staying. ”

"You mean ......"

"The phoenix does not fall without a sycamore, even if it is an enemy, it will not want to live here!"

Lin Sheng was completely boiling, and said: "I have an intuition, that Phoenix is in Guangdong Province, just nearby, look for it, keep looking!"
