Chapter 30: Mythology

Our family is also related to mythological stories, this is the first time I have heard of it, no one has ever mentioned it to me before, I remember that there is a book called "Shadow Domain" in the book that my grandfather gave me, but I didn't have time to read it, I don't know what mythological stories are still related to Shadow Domain, and I don't seem to have heard of such mythical stories.

Grandpa Tai paused and said, "You have all heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky. ”

Sun Shiqi and I both nodded, Nuwa Mending Tian has heard this story since she was a child, what does this have to do with the Shadow Domain.

Grandpa Tai then told us a different story of Nuwa mending the sky.

It was in ancient times, human beings were still tribal societies, our Xian clan belonged to one of the Shadow Witch tribes, the Shadow Witch tribe was attached to the Yellow Emperor tribe, our people from the Shadow Witch tribe because they could awaken the shadow spirit, connect the shadow domain and the present world, use shadow magic, divination, and spell casting, and were respected as great witches by various tribes at that time, and the people of the Shadow Witch tribe had priests in each big tribe and clan, and the Chiyou tribe also had people from our Shadow Witch tribe as priests.

At that time, there were two major clans in the Yellow Emperor tribe, one was the Gonggong clan and the other was the Zhurong clan.

Gonggong clan is a descendant of Emperor Yan, after Emperor Yan was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, the tribe of Emperor Yan was merged by the tribe of the Yellow Emperor, at that time there were also people from our shadow witch as priests in the Gonggong clan, and the leader of the Gonggong clan was named the god of water because of his ability to control water.

Zhu Rong is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and was named the god of fire because of his use of fire.

The reason why they can be canonized is because the shadow witch awakened the shadow spirits for them, let them use shadow magic, and let them travel to and from the shadow realm to obtain eternal life.

The Gonggong clan lives in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Chiyou tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe of Jiuli compete for hegemony in the world, the Gonggong clan rebels and helps the Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor tribe to fight, the Chiyou tribe is brave and good at fighting, good at using weapons, the leader of the Chiyou tribe is also an alien who awakened the shadow spirit, three heads and six arms, copper head and iron forehead, invulnerable. He is good at using knives, axes, and ge, and is extremely brave.

The Yellow Emperor tribe is numerous, although the Chiyou tribe is brave, but it can't be one enemy hundred, Chiyou ordered the Gonggong clan to cast the shadow illusion, the shadow illusion stepped on the seven star steps, the back was willow wood strips, naked body, shaking the head and tail between the mouth is the rolling clouds and mist spit out from its mouth, covering the world in an instant.

The Yellow Emperor looked worriedly at his headless fly-like subordinates, and before he could start a frontal battle, unfavorable conditions appeared, and the Yellow Emperor had no choice but to suspend the battle, and ordered the Shadow Witch to cast a spell to break the fog, and then compete with Chi You. The Yellow Emperor made a strange little car, and there was a bronze man on the car, and this bronze man put the shadow spirit of the shadow witch leader, no matter how the car turned, the bronze man's finger always pointed to the south. The invention of the guide car made the Yellow Emperor's troops, even in the clouds and mist that covered the sky, not lose their way. The Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou in the first round and drew Chiyou's army.

The Yellow Emperor, who did not take advantage of the first round, decided to strike first, and he ordered the Shadow Witch to use shadow illusions, turning into Ying Long to rush in, setting off a huge wave and trapping Chiyou's army on the island. Not to be outdone, Chi You ordered the Gonggong clan to perform shadow magic, blowing a storm and raining on the Yellow Emperor's army, causing the Yellow Emperor's army to fall into the mud and unable to move forward half a step.

The war was in a stalemate, Chiyou's army could not break through Ying Long's water trap, and the Yellow Emperor's army could not highlight the obstruction of Gonggong. In this case, the Yellow Emperor suddenly remembered that the Nine Heavens Xuannu had given him a clever plan, so he opened it and looked at it. The clever plan instructed the Yellow Emperor, if he wanted to win, he had to invite a goddess from the shadow domain, and this was the female leader.

She is a very terrifying goddess, legend has it that she was originally a zombie and later transformed into a human, her eyes were born on the top of her head, and she could see the sky when she walked, but she could not see the front of her. But no one dared to appear in front of her, because her hair was all small snakes, fangs and claws, and she wanted to devour people. In fact, the female was originally the ancestor of the Shadow Witch Clan, but because she was eaten by the illusion of the illusion, she was unable to restore her human form.

Everywhere she goes, she uses shadow art to make the red land thousands of miles, often a drought is three years. Where she lives, all living things die of thirst. Suddenly the wind and rain stopped, the water quickly evaporated, and the muddy ground quickly became dry.

The Yellow Emperor wasted no time in launching a general attack, and a tidal wave of troops poured towards the Chiyou tribe. Although there were eighty-one Chiyou brothers, all of whom were copper-headed and iron-headed, they still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Yellow Emperor's army. In the end, Chiyou's troops were defeated, and all eighty-one copper-headed and iron-fronted warriors were killed by the Shadow Slashing Sword. Even Chi You himself, although he had eight legs and wings, could not escape, and was beheaded with a shadow sword by order of the Yellow Emperor.

The Gonggong clan saw the defeat of the Chiyou tribe and knew that they would not be able to escape death, so they killed the shadow witch and got the shadow spirit of the shadow witch, and wanted to open the shadow domain, release the demonic beasts in the shadow domain, and dominate the world, but although the Gonggong clan is powerful, but the shadow domain is not just able to open the passage to the present world, according to legend, the shadow domain and the present world have a portal on a mountain, so the Gonggong clan began to dig mountains and fill ditches everywhere. Nominally, to flatten the earth, but in reality it is to find a gateway to the Shadowlands.

The Yellow Emperor learned about the conspiracy of the Gonggong clan through the divination of the shadow witch, and ordered the Zhurong clan to stop the conspiracy of the Gonggong clan, for which the Zhurong clan and the Gonggong clan began to fight constantly.

Zhu Rong is good at using shadow arts, and Gonggong is good at using shadow illusion, they are incompatible with water and fire, and the people of the world are devastated, I don't know how many years they have been fighting, they hit Buzhou Mountain, Gonggong Clan summoned an incomparably huge shadow illusion, knocked down Buzhou Mountain, who knows that this Buzhou Mountain is the gateway between the present world and the shadow domain.

The shadow domain was knocked out of a crack that was thousands of miles long, and the demonic beasts and demons and monsters in the shadow domain rushed into the present world one after another, and the heavenly river water in the shadow domain also poured into the present world, and the living beings in the present world were facing life and death.

The descendants of the Shadow Witch Clan were given five surnames by the Yellow Emperor, using five flavors as surnames, namely sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.

Nuwa Niangniang refined a total of 36,501 pieces of colorful divine stones to fill the gap, and the remaining one was left on the top of Tiantai Mountain, and finally used the four legs of the god to demarcate the boundary between the shadow domain and the present world.

After mending the rift in the Shadow Domain, Nuwa Niangniang made five boxes with some of the remaining soil and handed them over to the leaders of the five surnames, Nuwa Niangniang left a legacy to the Shadow Clan, only the descendants of the five surnames can open the password in the box, and the five boxes after opening the password can be placed on the colorful divine stone left on Tiantai Mountain at the same time to unlock a shocking secret.

Grandpa took a long breath, picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of water.

Sun Shiqi and I were stupid, this myth of Nuwa mending the sky is indeed different from what we heard.

"What kind of secret is that?" Sun Shiqi asked Grandpa with wide eyes.

"I don't know, and no one knows, it's a legend that has been passed down among the descendants of the Shadow Witch. Grandpa looked at Sun Shiqi and replied.

"The person who stole our wooden sword and painting should be the other four surnames?" I asked, looking at my grandfather and grandfather.

"It shouldn't be, it should still be the descendants of our Xian clan, it may be the descendants of the Xian clan in Shandong or Henan, there are very few descendants of the Xian clan who know this myth now, and even fewer who know the shadow spirit. Grandpa said.

"Then why are these treasures in our house?" I continued.

"Because our ancestors of the Xian clan have always been the leaders of the Shadow Witch clan, and the other surnames are the heads of their own surnames, according to the instructions of Nuwa Niangniang, the five boxes are kept by the heads of the five surnames, and the ancestors of our branch are the heads of the Xian clan. Grandpa looked at me and said.

"Then why are they robbing us of our stuff. I said a little indignantly.

"Our descendants of the Xian clan are not prosperous, and other descendants of the Xian clan want to replace them. Grandpa shook his head and said.

"Knock knock, you are the leader of this branch in the future, you must awaken the Shadow Spirit and keep this box, and the descendants of the Shadow Witch with other surnames may also come to snatch the box. Grandpa said with a serious face.

"Then why don't you let my dad take on the responsibility?" I was a little puzzled.

"Neither your grandfather nor your father can awaken the Shadow Spirit, and they can't take on the burden. Grandpa shook his head and said.

I looked at my grandfather in amazement, I thought to myself.

"I don't know how to wake up the Shadow Spirit, Grandpa, my own Shadow Spirit has been locked up with a Shadow Chain. I said nervously, looking at my grandfather and grandfather.

Grandpa and grandpa suddenly looked at me with wide eyes:

"Your shadow spirit is chained in the Shadow Chain. Grandpa was a little surprised by my answer.

"Come, put your hand over and I'll see. Saying that, Grandpa raised his hand, and I stretched out my right hand to Grandpa's right hand.

Grandpa took my right hand, my right hand was on top, grandpa's right hand was down, our palms were palms against palms, I only felt that the palms of my hands slowly began to itch, as if something was licking the palms.

Suddenly, I felt a tightness on my body, like countless ants crawling on my body and tearing my body, my whole body was painful and itchy, I wanted to pull my hand out of my grandfather's hand, but my hand seemed to be sticky, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull it out, my sweat beads flowed down from my forehead, I really wanted to find an iron brush to brush off all the flesh on my body.

"Grandpa, itchy, itchy, it hurts, it hurts, I can't stand it, please let go. I screamed in pain and squirmed from my chair to the floor, scratching at my left hand.

Sun Shiqi was startled when she saw my appearance, looked at my painful expression, and hurriedly got up to help me up.

"Girl, don't move. Grandpa stopped Sun Shiqi, and then grandpa let go of my hand.

I lay on the ground, panting, my body was already soaked with sweat, my grandfather let go of the feeling on my body has been much better, but I feel that my body is still tight, as if something is binding me, but the itching feeling has disappeared.

I feel very ashamed now, a handful of snot and tears in front of Sun Shiqi, I struggled to get up, grandpa gave me a handkerchief to wipe my face, I turned my head and didn't want Sun Shiqi to see my face, it was too embarrassing in front of a beautiful woman.

"Hey, you have been cast a shadow chain like your grandfather and father, and it should be a person, his shadow power is getting stronger and stronger, the shadow chain on your body is stronger than your grandfather and father's, is it that our Xian family is going to break the root?"

When I heard this, I was shocked, could it be that Grandpa and Dad also cast shadow chains by others, and the spell was cast by the same person.

"When did Grandpa and Dad get a shadow chain? I asked, a little confused, a little frightened.

"All at the age of sixteen. Grandpa Tai closed his eyes and replied, his tone full of regret.

I'm sixteen now, and I'll be seventeen in two months, and I wonder why it's all this time. I suddenly remembered the man in black in the elevator of the mall, and I should have given me the Shadow Chain.

"Grandpa, I remember that I had a man in black in the elevator of the mall a few days ago, and when he was behind me, I had this feeling of bondage in my body, which I hadn't had before. I looked at my grandfather and said.

"The man in black?" said Grandpa in surprise suddenly, and Grandpa also opened his eyes and looked at me with a deep gaze.

"You've met the Man in Black, too. Grandpa asked with a squint.
