Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fog Fills

Then I looked up information about Chiyou on the Internet, and I probably knew that there was a king named Chiyou in ancient times, but I was very vague about everything about him.

But I've never heard of a goddess named Liangxi in ancient times, and I always think that all this is so strange, and there must be something strange in it.

According to online information, Chiyou, one of the ancestors of China, is the ancestor of the Miao people.

Legend has it that Chiyou is the leader of the ox totem and bird totem clans, and the two-horned bull head is the dragon in the traditional dragon culture.

Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, all of whom have copper heads and iron foreheads, eight arms, and nine toes, all of whom have extraordinary skills.

In ancient times, the chief of the Jiuli tribe had various explanations for his identity.

In the historical records, about 4,600 years ago, after the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, he launched a war with the Chiyou tribe in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province - the Battle of Zhuolu.

Chiyou died in battle, and the Dongyi, Jiuli and other tribes merged into the Yanhuang tribe, forming the earliest main body of the Chinese nation today.

Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, there are Xuanyuan Hill, Chiyou Tomb, Yellow Emperor Spring (Hanquan), Chiyou Sanzhai, Chiyou Spring, Bagua Village, Dingchetai, Chiyou Blood-stained Mountain, Tuta, Shangxia Seven Banners, Bridge Mountain and other ruins.

Specifically, you can read the "Zhuolu County Chronicles", "Historical Records", "Water Jing Note" and other historical materials. Modern buildings include the "Three Ancestral Halls of China" and so on.

His legend In Chinese history, ancient books since the Spring and Autumn Period have a rich record of the legend of Chiyou, but there are often contradictions.

According to these records, Chiyou was the leader of the Jiuli tribe in ancient times. Scholars speculate that Chiyou belongs to the Taihao and Shaohao clan groups according to the "Book of Yi Zhou" and "Treatise on Salt and Iron".

Chiyou has eighty-one brothers (probably eighty-one tribes, one says seventy-two), brave and good at fighting, and powerful.

The most mentioned Chi You in ancient books is the fierce battle with the tribal alliance led by the Yellow Emperor, and there are three specific theories.

The first statement is found in "Historical Records of the Lungs and Lung Mi Jiongting Punishment? Tsubaki Frequency 墼谮嫒?? Street surname twist ぱvertebral 腆螅? Haruka? Strange from the heart of the school? Street Xie Tartary pit caries? Commission?? Scalding again? Arc?

The second statement is found in "Yi Zhou Shu Annoyance 18. Penalize? Playing a pit? Partridge 嗟郏ㄑ Shiji?? Wat 哂诨frequency 郏?? Excellent? Childish pit throwing dandruff Jian?

The third statement is found in "The Book of Mountains and Seas? Penalize? Hit the pit martingale? シセfrequency郏? Frequency α?? Sword?? Are you all talking about the streets? Press the sword? Lack of pitfalls? Thin springs?

Although there are slight differences in the various theories, there is no doubt that Chi You and the Yellow Emperor were at war. The course of the war was more tortuous and mythical.

Chi You is good at fighting, "the weapon of the five soldiers, changing the clouds and mist", "making a big fog, covering three days", the Yellow Emperor "nine battles and nine invincible", "three years of the city is not down".

"Fish Dragon River Map" contains the Yellow Emperor's "defeat" Chi You, "it is to look up to the sky and sigh, and God sent Xuannu to grant the Yellow Emperor soldiers to believe in the runes", that is, relying on the power of the goddess "Xuannu" to win.

It is said that the Yellow Emperor used the guide made by the queen of the wind to identify the direction in the fog and won the victory.

The ending of Chi You is said to be defeated and killed, or surrendered to the Yellow Emperor and dominated the military.

Later, the world was chaotic, the Yellow Emperor painted the image of Chi You, deterring the world, the world thought that Chi You was immortal, and lived in the shogunate of the Yellow Emperor, so "all the eight countries are subdued".

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's battle against Chi You is an extremely important event in the era of Chinese legends, after the victory of the Yellow Emperor, unified the Central Plains region, and became the orthodoxy of China.

Therefore, Chinese historical books, especially Confucian classics, which have long been in the mainstream, have many bad comments about Chi You, although they may not be fair.

Later, Chiyou gradually deified and became an image with "copper head and iron forehead", "eight humerus and eight toes", "human body and cow hooves, four eyes and six hands" and "eating sand and stones".

Legend has it that Chiyou made metal weapons and was good at fighting, so he was revered as the god of war and the god of weapons (the master of soldiers) and worshipped. After the defeat of Chiyou, the people were scattered, some of them joined the Yellow Emperor, and some of them migrated to other places.

(The above is excerpted from the historical records, don't spray if you don't like it.) )

After reading these various legends about Chiyou, I fell into messy contemplation again, but the Chiyou I saw was a handsome and beautiful man, but why did I say that he looked so distinctive when I came to the historical records?

After all kinds of speculation, I wonder if the two Chiyou are not the same person? Otherwise, after more than 4,000 years of evolution, word of mouth has passed on this legend to the gods.

In the historical records, the Yellow Emperor relied on the goddess to defeat Chiyou, so could that goddess be the goddess Liangxi?

Why did things thousands of years ago have to fall on me? I was a little depressed, but I couldn't help but be curious, and I had to figure out the mystery.

Today, Mu Xiu is rarely busy, he made a big table of dishes at noon, I have to say that this guy's craftsmanship is really good, at the dinner table, I asked, "Mu Xiu, do you know the legend of Chiyou?" ”

But I didn't expect that as soon as I said this, his face instantly became so ugly, he looked at me and didn't speak, and then shook his head and continued to eat, and I had to ask no more.

I always feel that Mu Xiu seems to hate Chi You very much, as if the two of them have some deep hatred, I really can't understand, these two people are separated by thousands of years, what kind of grudge can there be?

I have been recuperating for nearly half a month, and on this day I suddenly had a fever in my head, and I wanted to find those people to go to Mangshan Peak together.

But when I called them and told them that we were leaving Mu Xiu and we were going there, they actually said that Mu Xiu said that there was no need to go again.

He also said that it had already been poured down by my great-grandfather's gang, and he didn't want to toss anymore even if there was anything, and asked me when I could go to the final destination that Mu Xiu said.

I didn't answer and hung up the phone directly, these people are really enough, they are so unjust, it's so annoying!

In the evening, when Mu Xiu came back, he said to me, "Rest early tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Where are you going?" I wondered.

"You'll know when the time comes." Mu Xiu's face was mysterious, he was simply angry and didn't have to pay for his life.

"But pull it down, then I won't go!" I played my eldest lady's temper.

"Fight." When Mu Xiu saw me like this, he seemed to be really afraid that I wouldn't go, so he hurriedly explained honestly.

"The final destination? Have you contacted them? ”

I didn't expect myself to ask such a question, how could I still think of them when I was so angry today that I was so angry?

Mu Xiu shook his head, "No, the final destination is not so fast, this time it is enough for me and you." ”

I didn't say anything more, nodded and went back to the room to rest, after all, it wouldn't be wrong to follow him, like last time, there were a few people equal to nothing, not just the two of us.

Lying in bed, I thought about a lot of things, and I always felt that I was getting closer and closer to the mystery, and then I was thinking about what to prepare for tomorrow.

After that, maybe because of the excitement, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and my mind was so clear that I had to count the sheep.
