One day, Xu Yuan was about to go hunting, and Shanyuan stopped him: "Come back, the monk is old and can't eat much meat, come, sit down, and the monk will tell you the origin of the world this week." Xu Yuan sat down honestly, and the monk narrowed his eyes: "That year, the ancestor was ten years old, although the people of the world lived in groups, but there was no dispute, and everyone did not say that they wanted anything to prove their wealth, in this year, the flood that fell from the sky washed away the village, washed away the livestock and crops, everyone panicked and moved the remaining grain storage at home to a high place, people were panicked, and they could not live all day, driven by hunger, some people began to rob, and some people began to kill people to obtain meat.

At this moment a young man who had never seen anyone appeared, dressed in fine clothes, and claimed to have been sent by the gods to save the world, and he wanted the people to bow down to him, and he led the people to the highest part of the mountain, where there were fruit trees that no one had ever found, and they were full of fruit. Just when everyone was hesitating, someone died suddenly, and the young man said that it was because people were not sincere about him that they would die. But the master clearly saw it, because the apple was different from other apples, it was very bright. But no one wanted to listen to a ten-year-old child, and when the young man said that if he surrendered to him, he would save the lives of the people. Three months later, when the flood waters receded, the young men took them to the edge of a great river where they could recuperate.

The great river was very dangerous and often overflowing, and the young man was now middle-aged, and he led his people to cross and come to the south, where he took the men to farm and build houses, and he took the women to raise mulberry and cook, and the silkworms they raised were cocooned and made into beautiful silk, and all this was in harmony until they found gold. In another year, they tied up the women and children of the neighboring villages, and demanded that they exchange the best for them, and when the men brought the gold, the whole village was shocked by its beauty, and the women vied with each other to wear it on their hands and necks, showing how radiant they were, and the men inlaid it on their clothes, showing how wise and powerful they were, but only the person they respected the most, who could only be said to be the village chief, did not ask for those things, and he watched coldly as the men and women were bewitched by the yellow metal, He took only the food that the men had brought and hid it. Then hail fell from the sky, which destroyed the crops, and the people had nothing to eat, and this time they began to wander around, some to eat leaves, some to eat weeds, and when there was nothing left, they ate the soil.

The village chief, sent by their gods, appeared, accused the people of greed, and said that gold was a sinful metal and that he could give it to the family if they were willing to give it to him. The premise is that they will do whatever he tells them to do. People were forced to agree to him for their livelihood, and the next day, the whole village Shaozhuang entered the house with food, went out with kitchen knives, hoes, and sticks, and came to the neighboring village, and wanted to rob their territory, livestock, and brought them back to the village, who had thought that the neighboring village had already starved to death, and there was no livestock food, and the village chief told them that as long as they wanted to live, they would join them, and he would point out to everyone a direction to live, and the ancestor was also in this team, and they conquered the village with iron ore, and the village chief invented something called a long knife, and since then, Things are starting to get out of hand.

The villagers gradually became disciplined, the old and infirm were also excluded from the ranks, the village chief was very strict with them, they came from various villages, now the villages will communicate with each other, will help each other, the more places the village chief takes them through, the more they do not want to go to a place to survive, some people are admired, some people die young, and they are buried hastily. The village chief has brought horses for them, and the bravest will have the opportunity to ride them on horseback, while the rest will have to rely on their own efforts if they want to survive or win horses. These people, formed the first army, every time they conquered the village, the village chief would reward everyone with the spoils of war, if they wanted a woman or a field, they would use the spoils in their hands and their village chief, no, now he should be called a general exchange, just like that, the people became rich, but the ambition also grew.

Someone wanted to challenge the General's authority in his place, and the General did not hesitate to kill them and tell those who were eager and indifferent that if anyone dared to betray, he would lose even more. Everyone was shocked, everyone bowed to him, at this time, the general was already an old man, he fought everywhere, pacified the south, and established himself as a king, a king recognized by God. He passed the throne to his son, an equally ambitious king, and he was a headache for the old men who had fiefdoms, who always relied on their own merits to criticize him, so he sealed their families elsewhere, co-opted his men, and finally left him alone and returned to his homeland.

After pacifying the south, the king set the goal in the north, at this time the ancestor was already an old man who knew the destiny of heaven, he asked the king to resign, the king did not agree or object, but acquiesced to the resignation of the ancestor. Shizu later said that the reason why the king wanted to conquer the north was because the world was initially decided, the people's hearts were unstable, and he wanted to fight to raise the war, so he made this decision, and then they came to the north, saw the endless desert, met the Mongols and the Mongolian scimitar, and the two sides fought to the death for decades without success. In the end, in the year of Wang Xu, he called the prince and told him that the northern barbarians were fierce, and they should be built with fortresses and guarded by heavy troops, so that the northern border could be determined, and then the people's livelihood should be determined.

Since then, with the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, successive generations of kings have been constantly passing down the will from heaven, and finally called the king the emperor, there has never been an accident between more than a dozen monarchs, the wind and rain are smooth, my ancestor also painted down the portrait of the first emperor, since then he has lived in seclusion in the Five Elements Mountain, and has studied the arithmetic of the organ from generation to generation, and finally escaped the drill of heaven. Created this Taoist house, I will now take you to see the portrait of the ancestral dragon. At this time, a day and a night have passed to tell the story for so long, but Shanyuan is not tired at all, he took Xu Yuan into his bedroom, and unscrewed the secret room, "The one hanging on the wall is our ancestral dragon." ”

Xu Yuan raised his head, but he couldn't see anything, "Master, the apprentice is stupid and can't see anything." Shanyuan smiled, took the painting off the wall, and asked him, "Can you see it now?" Xu Yuan nodded, and then his eyes widened suddenly. You see, isn't it the same as touching? ”
