Chapter Fifty-Eight: The God of Tomb Exploration
Li Ji woke up and saw the gray sky and the radiant Lei Gongmo Cliff.
"Awake?" Zhou Babao smiled at Li Ji with a big face.
Li Ji narrowed his eyes, as if he was not used to the sudden strong light, and only replied after a while: "Am I dead?"
Zhou Babao pointed to the golden Lei Gongmo Cliff and scolded: "Phew, this is Lei Gongmo Cliff, you are still alive, if you die, you can still see us, isn't that a curse that we are also dead?"
Li Ji suddenly remembered the six-eyed monster and exclaimed, "What about the Huangquan Stygian Sea Monster?"
Zhou Babao smiled and said, "I was frightened by a divine bow from a thin bamboo pole and fled." ”
At this time, Li Ji found that Xu Shixi had an extra red giant bow in his hand.
Zhou Babao slowly squatted beside him, probed his pulse and said: "It may be that I was sucked some blood by that monster, although I am a little weak, but it is not a big problem, take some pills, and I can recover after a little rest." ”
So he took out a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into Li Ji's mouth.
Although Li Ji was a little tired and pale, he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked, "How did you scare the zombie ancestor Yinggou away, it's really incredible!"
"The six-eyed monster is the zombie ancestor Ying Gou who wanders outside the Three Realms and Six Realms?" Zhou Babao and Xu Shixi both looked at Li Ji suspiciously.
"Just now in the illusion, he said to himself, Yinggou almost took my soul, what happened to scare him away?"
Zhou Babao ran over and told what had happened, while Xu Shixi stood up quietly, looking at the fading Huangquan Styx Sea, and a thrilling scene flashed in front of him.
It turned out that when Ying Gou was about to devour Li Ji's soul, Li Ji channeled the power of the Thunder Gong Electric Mother into the Huangquan Styx Sea through the golden thread, and by chance opened a mechanism in the mural.
Xu Shixi fixed his eyes and saw that a giant red bow with an arrogant shape was placed in the giant gate, with dragon heads carved at both ends, and a pair of wings on each dragon's body, with a faint green smoke emitting from it.
In desperation, he held the giant red bow, but with all his strength, he could not pull the bowstring.
He was horrified in his heart, and he was sure that this bow must be a divine bow, and after a closer look, he found that it was the legendary Houyi shooting sun bow - the Shenjia Tong bow.
It is rumored that once the Houyi Sun Shooting Bow is opened, between the bow body and the bowstring, an arrow that is completely gathered by spiritual light will emerge into a bundle, and it will be launched and shot down on the sun.
But his spiritual power was simply not enough to pull out this ancient divine bow, and it was useless to have an empty divine bow.
At this moment, Xu Shixi said something to the three-legged crow in the Jiuyang hanging coffin, and then something strange happened, and the nine spiritual lights flew into the divine bow.
At this time, he easily pulled out the divine bow, wound a silver arrow with his right hand, aimed at the light shield of the Huangquan Styx Sea monster, and gently loosened his hand and shot an arrow.
The earth-shattering silver arrow drew an elegant arc in the sky, and one arrow pierced the extremely powerful light shield, and the second arrow scared the zombie ancestor Ying Gou away.
When he said this, Zhou Babao couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask Xu Shixi: "Hey, thin bamboo pole, how did you pull that divine bow apart?"
Xu Shixi frowned slightly, stopped talking, and finally avoided his topic directly, shook his head, and sighed: "The world says that this Hou Yi shooting the sun is made up, but unfortunately I don't know that there is a world outside this world.
I remember that in a ranking book of ancient artifacts, Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow was among the best, the bow body was made of the stone that mended the sky and was refined in the fire of the Nine Shadows, the bowstring was made of the tendons of the dragon and the skin of the winged tiger, and the arrow was made of the bones of the iron fish and the feathers of the firebird. Legend has it that Hou Yi used this bow on the sun, so it is known as the bow of the gods. ”
Li Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder, this bow is boundless, and he was so frightened that he ran away, it seems that he is very afraid of this treasure." ”
Xu Shixi nodded and said: "Of course, Hou Yi used this arrow to shoot the nine sons of the sun, which shows that its power can punish gods and destroy ghosts, and it has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth." ”
Zhou Babao scratched his head and said, "No, this is strange, why is the Divine Hunting Tong Bow that shot the Nine Sons of the Sun on top of their coffins, what does this mean?
"Since the Divine Hunt Tong Bow shot the Nine Sons of the Sun, it has disappeared without a trace, and Hou Yi was distrusted by the Emperor of Heaven, and was finally relegated to the world. Usually the funeral goods are closely related to the deceased, could it be that Hou Yi's bow to shoot the sun is also a thing of the gods?"
Li Ji followed the direction of Xu Shixi's thinking and raised a question: "As we all know, the sun is a god, and Hou Yi is just a mortal, Hou Yi shoots the sun, which is undoubtedly a story of a mortal killing gods, think about it, the key to success must be in Hou Yi's weapon, so where did Hou Yi, the divine bow that is enough to shoot the sun, come from?"
Zhou Babao nodded and smiled: "Regarding the origin of this Sun Shooting Divine Bow, it is quite interesting. According to ancient records, 'Emperor Jun gave Yi Tong a bow to help the country, and Yi was the first to go to the land to overcome the difficulties', here it is clearly said that Hou Yi's weapon bow and arrow was given to Hou Yi by the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Li Ji was puzzled: "Isn't the Emperor of Heaven the father of the Nine Sons of the Sun? How can there be a father who wants to put his son to death?"
Xu Shixi glanced at the Shenjiatong bow in his hand and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense." The purpose of the Emperor of Heaven to give Hou Yi a bow and arrow weapon is to let Hou Yi take the weapon to solve all kinds of difficulties of the tribe and the people, after all, when the ten days come out, not only is the drought unbearable, but there are also many monsters who take the opportunity to come out and make trouble.
Hou Yi used the bow and arrow given by the Emperor of Heaven to shoot six powerful monsters in one go, and it can be seen from here that Hou Yi took the divine bow and had the power to shoot the gods.
As mentioned earlier, the Emperor of Heaven is the father of the sun, and it is unlikely that he will give Hou Yi weapons to deal with his own children, and the order that the Emperor of Heaven gave to Hou Yi is just to help the country and kill monsters. ”
"Oh, I know, after Hou Yi killed the six monsters, he must have found that the symptoms are not the root cause, and the ten days are the root cause of all the troubles, so Hou Yi resolutely shot the nine suns. Sure enough, Hou Yi is the master of the common people, and he is a true hero!"
I don't know when it began, there is a saying that Hou Yi shoots the sun is an ancient myth, in the minds of the people, he is a great hero, he is the courage and excellent skills to save the people in danger, to avoid disasters, for future generations to admire.
Li Ji, who grew up in the community, has always taken Houyi as a role model.
Zhou Babao stood on the edge of the cave and looked out, the Yellow Spring Styx Sea had gradually evaporated and subsided, and suddenly thought of something, slapped the back of his head sharply, and said with a bitter face: "The nine suns that he shot fell into the south of the East China Sea after death, turning into a mountain called Wojiao, and the sea water will be evaporated instantaneously when it reaches here, so the sea will be filled with all rivers, but it will never be filled." I think that the Lei Gongmo Cliff we are standing on now is very likely to be the legendary Wojiao. Otherwise, so many unimaginable things have happened, and it really can't be explained by common sense. ”
Li Ji patted Zhou Babao on the shoulder, and nodded frequently: "The fat man's guess is somewhat reasonable, after the death of the ninth son of the sun, he turned into Wo Jiao, the sun spirit in his body is still there, and the heat emitted by Wo Jiao Mountain is huge. ”
Xu Shixi glanced at Li Ji in astonishment, paused, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on his originally cold and arrogant face: "Senior Brother Li, I can't imagine that all the senior brothers say that you are born a waste material, I think everyone has lost their eyes! Your bold analysis and speculation just solved the doubts in my heart." The fat man just asked me how to pull the bow, and I didn't have an answer at the time, so I was speechless. Now I understand that when I prayed to the three-legged crow and prayed for strength, the nine spiritual rays flew from the coffin into the divine bow and could be easily pulled away. I think it should have something to do with their sun spirit, it is their soul power that opens the same god hunting bow, just like lighting a lamp needs a fire fold, the sun spirit is a fire fold, which is the key to activating the god bow. ”
Li Ji and Zhou Babao congratulated together: "Senior Brother Xu, you are really smart, you have found the secret of opening the Divine Hunting Tong Bow, congratulations!"
Zhou Babao walked to Xu Shixi's side, stroked the finely made and arrogantly shaped Shenjia Tong bow, and couldn't help nodding and saying in amazement: "Thin bamboo pole, you are talented, well-read, and strong in martial arts. Hou Yi has become a generation of heroes with this bow, and you will have unlimited in the future. ”
Xu Shixi's expression suddenly dawned and said: "I'm ashamed, having the fate to get this ancient divine bow has been a blessing for several generations, and I don't dare to compare it with the great hero Hou Yi." It's a pity that Hou Yi's ending was a little sad, he was jealous of his apprentice Fengmeng, and he was killed by a sneak attack with a peach stick, and became the god of Zongbu after his death. ”
Li Ji pursed his lips and sighed: "Zongbu God? Folk rumors say that this kind of god often leads a tiger under a peach tree, and every ghost has to go to inspect it. In fact, he is a little god who hunts ghosts, and he is not yet famous. ”
Zhou Babao interjected and said: "So there is a folk legend of peach wood to ward off evil spirits, which is because Hou Yi was named the god of Zongbu after his death. ”
Xu Shixi looked at the divine bow in his hand in a daze, but a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable sadness came to his heart, and he said with a gloomy expression: "As a hero who shoots the sun, Hou Yi's ending is still quite sad, maybe the act of shooting the sun offended the emperor of heaven, so he can't have a good ending!"
