Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 68: The Angry Horse and the God of the Hidden Capital
The post-war clean-up work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Yang Zhuochao and the four of them saluted to Xie Fei Pavilion and said: "King, now the war here is over for the time being! We expect that in a short period of time, the "evil spirits" will not be able to commit! Because we have other important things to do, we will leave here first!
At this time, among the people who came to congratulate him, the only one who was the prince of "Black Rock City" Xie Yumo was missing! I think it must be because of the lack of energy, and it may be possible to find a place to drink alcohol.....
Xie Feige said politely: A few immortals can't just thank me for the great kindness of my "Black Rock City"! This kindness will be firmly remembered in my hearts by all the soldiers and civilians of "Black Rock City"! If he is sent in the future, we will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire!
After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, they finally said goodbye one after another! Yang Zhuochao and the four of them came directly to the high platform of the "Space Passage" teleportation square, intending to teleport to the "Sun Chasing City" through the space gate here!
At this moment, a horse suddenly came from afar! The freshly dressed angry horse was very chic. Yang Zhuochao was stunned and said: It's Xie Yumo.....
Driving closer, Xie Yumo grabbed the reins and said: "A few immortals, please wait a moment, I have a few words to say!"
Yang Zhuochao clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "What is the matter with Prince Yumo?"
Xie Yumo did not dismount, and said arrogantly: "Today's farewell, I don't know when I will be able to reunite with the immortals! Although the immortal magic skills displayed by the immortals this time are breathtaking, and the strategy and art .....of war are also unexpected! But Xie is not convinced, and if he meets the immortals again one day, he will definitely try to find you!
After saying this, he didn't wait for Yang Zhuochao's reaction! Le turned his horse's head and galloped away. Leaving a bewildered crowd messy in the wind.....
Yang Zhuochao shook his head with a wry smile and said: This person is handsome and has a majestic figure! It's a pity that this heart is as big as an ant. Alas.....!
Cai Ling pouted: I don't think he is as good as you describe the young master!
Yang Zhuochao glanced at her and said: At least it looks much better than me.....
Cai Ling grinned and said: Young Master, your current skin is naturally incomparable, but if it is replaced by you who is always arrogant, it will be much stronger than this broken prince.....!
Yang Zhuochao's eyes rolled again, and he thought: Isn't this nonsense? I also want to be more handsome and chic! But this can only be just a thought, the past self has become a thing of the past after all! No matter how brilliant it is, it has no meaning for the present.....
Ge Lao Dao: Young master, Cailing, let's go! There is still a long road behind.
Stepping into the "space passage" again, Yang Zhuochao felt in a trance that there was a feeling of being in a different world! He never dreamed that there would be such a big turning point in his life in this life.....
The location of the "Sun-Chasing City" has completely separated from the southern region, and it is located in the eastern region of the "Great Plane of Space", a place called the "Wild Land". It belongs to the "Headwind Continent" section, and it is a well-known barren place in the "Space Great Plane"!
The origin of this "Sun-Hunting City" is because of a well-known figure on the earth! To be exact, a figure of ancient myths and legends. His name is "Father Kua"!
The myth and legend of "Kuafu chasing the sun" occupies a great proportion in the ancient myths and legends of China! As a classic myth and legend, Kuafu's feat has always been talked about by later generations!
Standing on the high platform of the teleportation square of the "Space-Chasing City" and "Spatial Passage", Yang Zhuochao asked Ge Lao: This "Great Plane of Space" has not seen the sun during the day! How can there be a saying of "Chasing the Sun"?
Ge Lao smiled slightly and said, "Well, there was one before!" And there is more than one.....
Murong Feixue clapped her hands and said happily: I know, I know! Is it "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun"? This is also one of the myths and legends of ancient times, no less famous than "Praise Father Chasing the Sun"!
Cai Ling gently took Murong Feixue's hand and said, "It's basically the same!" But these two things are not as simple as in myths and legends.....
Murong Feixue nodded as if she didn't understand and said, "My life with you is really colorful! My previous days felt like I had lived in vain.....
Cai Ling patted Murong Feixue on the shoulder and said: Everyone has their own different lives and different experiences! Don't be arrogant and don't care too much about the past!
Murong Feixue nodded and said, "Thank you Cailing for your teaching, but I'm really happy to be with you now!"
Cai Ling took Murong Feixue's hand and said: People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny! There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and it is right to cherish the present!
After a pause, Cai Ling said to Yang Zhuochao: Does the young master know the origin of "Kuafu"?
Yang Zhuochao was thinking about things, and when he heard this, he was stunned and said: It's not too clear, you tell me about it!
Cai Ling said: According to legend, this "Kuafu" is a descendant of the great god "Houtu", and the honorific title of the great god of "Houtu" is "Chengtian imitates Houde Guangda Houtu Emperor Land"! It is the fourth emperor of the Taoist god "Four Emperors and Six Emperors", she holds yin and yang, and nurtures all things, so she is called "Mother Earth"!
Legend has it that she was the first king of the earth. Later, she cooperated with the "Haotian God" who presided over the heavenly realm, and was the female deity who dominated the mountains and rivers of the earth!
People believe that this god is the protector of agriculture to obtain a good harvest, or the god of fertility and the god of the earth! Because China has been a country based on agriculture since ancient times, and human beings have long been bound by the idea of "born of heaven and nourished by earth," that is, they have formed a ritual law of worshiping heaven and earth.
Therefore, the great god of "Houtu" is the "earth god" of the gods of the "five elements"! But she is also the "god of the hidden capital" who is in charge of the world of the dead!
Yang Zhuochao stuck out his tongue and said: "So powerful! That "Houtu" god has the power to the sky! Oh, that's right. It seems that I have heard you mention before that in the "Great Plane of Space", there is a "Eternal Night Underworld" inhabited by the "ghost race"! There is also a "dark hell" where the "undead" clan lives!
Cai Ling replied: "The great god of Houtu is the god of the hidden capital!" The "ghost clan" and the "undead" clan are all under her control. Careful people can see some clues from the names of the places where they live!
Yang Zhuochao asked suspiciously: What is the problem? I didn't pay much attention to it!
Cai Ling continued: "The "Dark Hell" where the "Undead" clan lives and the "Eternal Night Underworld" where the "Ghost Clan" live, how do you pronounce their place names together and combine them with one word? Isn't it a bit impressive.....
Yang Zhuochao muttered silently: "Eternal Night Underworld", "Dark Hell", "Dark Hell", "Eternal Night Underworld" are combined to take one word combination.....
Suddenly, Yang Zhuochao had a flash of inspiration and said: ..... "Netherworld" ..... you are referring to?
Cai Ling covered her mouth and chuckled: "The young master is not too stupid!
Yang Zhuochao said in shock: It turns out that the "Netherworld" that people have spoken about for thousands of years actually means this.....
Ge Lao also interjected at this time: What the young master said is right, this is the meaning of the real "Netherworld"! And the "Houtu" god is also the "Netherworld Co-Master" in the strict sense, that is, the "God of the Netherworld" .....!
Among her descendants, this "Kuafu" is one of them! It is rumored that this Kuafu is the leader of the ancient Miao Barbarian tribe, the Sanmiao tribe, the "Ancient Giant Clan." Later, he went north to join the "Dongyi tribe", that is, the camp of "Chiyou"!
Legend has it that he has two golden snakes hanging in his ears and two golden snakes in his hands. Good at running and full of great strength. One of the most well-known ancient demigods!
Because the people of the "Ancient Giant Clan" helped the "Dongyi Tribe" of "Chiyou" to fight against the Yellow Emperor, but they were unfortunately defeated by the Yellow Emperor and returned to their homeland. That is, the predecessor of the "Sun-Chasing City" where we are now, a place called "Chengdu Zaitian"!
Later, there was a severe drought in the land. The sun was like a big ball of fire, roasting the earth and drying up the rivers and lakes, and making it desolate. The people of the "Ancient Giant Clan" all went out to find water to fight the drought, but the rivers and lakes dried up, where can they find water? The leader of the Kuafu clan was so angry that he swore that he would take off the sun.....!
But the speed of the sun was extremely fast, and Kuafu chased after him for nine days and nine nights but could not catch up with the sun! In the end, Kuafu was so tired and thirsty that when he reached the halfway point, his body could no longer support it, and he slowly fell down and died of thirst .....!
