Chapter 17: Eight-Foot Qiongyu

When he left Wadao for the first time, Gongsun Kang reminded Zuo Ci of two things:

1. There are three ritual vessels in Wajima. Kusanagi sword, eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, Eight Mirrors. Now I just know that the eight-foot Qiong Goyu is in the hands of Queen Himiko, and the other two magic weapons must also be found.

2. According to the records of the "Ancient Records" of the later generations of Japanese people, there were five spiritual bodies in the first generation, known as other gods, all of which had no actual body. Also look carefully and see if you can use or absorb it.

Now that the Yin God has been formed, Gongsun Kang began to bring up the old things again, asking Zuo Ci how is his progress?

"No progress." Zuo Ci spread his hand helplessly. "You said, I don't have a clue about these two things."

Could it be that in this era, the Kusanagi sword and the Yatsuya mirror had not yet spread to Japan?

"Now that we have cultivated the Yin God, I think we can have a good chat with the spirit body inside the eight-foot Qiong Gou Jade. Maybe there's a clue. Zuo Ci put forward a feasible suggestion.

With Gongsun Kang's current status as Wajima, he can summon Queen Himiko to come to Kyushu City to see him.

But he also wanted to linger with Taiwan again, so he set foot on the land of Honshu Island again.

In the Queen's Palace of the Yamatai Empire, Queen Himiko knelt and bowed to Gongsun Kang, extremely respectful. The living god of thunder is not something that mortals can look up to!

"Take out your eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, I have something I want to ask him." Gongsun Kang looked cold.

"No" Queen Himiko respectfully took out the eight-foot Qiongyu from her arms and raised her hands above her head.

Gongsun Kang took it with one hand and said calmly: "You can step back first." Close the palace gate and don't let anyone in. ”

"No!" Queen Himiko bowed her head and slowly retreated, exiting the main hall and instructing the guards.

Gongsun Kang smiled at the eight-foot Qiong Gou Yu and said, "Daoyou, if you don't show up at this time, when will you stay?" ”

I felt the temperature of the air around me suddenly become cold, and I felt a little foggy in front of me. But when I looked at it, there was nothing.

"Don't look at it with the eye of lightning!" Zuo Ci hurriedly reminded Gongsun Kang, "It will damage the soul of this Taoist friend!" ”

"Good!" Gongsun Kang is not here to destroy the soul body, he has something to ask.

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci both escaped from the Yin God.

Sure enough, when the Yin God and the Yin God meet, they can see each other clearly and communicate.

I saw that the other party was a fifty-year-old man with a white beard. Thin appearance, very elegant.

"Please introduce yourself," Zuo Ci was polite.

"It's all tears," the old man looked very funny.

"400 years ago, His Royal Highness the First Emperor ordered Xu Fu to take 3,000 boys and girls out to sea in search of the elixir of life. The entourage had a lot of sailors, officers, guardsmen. I was the original retinue officer, and my surname was Xu, and I served as a lieutenant. The old man began to talk.

In this era, transportation is underdeveloped, and the flow of information remains unchanged. Xu Fu's affairs are only known to Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci in Wadao. Now this soul body is said in one mouth, and it seems to be true.

"Then why did Xu Duwei fall here?" Gongsun Kang was also a little curious.

"Because of the eight serpents." Xu Duwei did not hide it. Eight songs means eight heads.

"Oh!" The play meat is coming! Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci were shocked, and listened attentively to Xu Duwei's detailed explanation.

"Back then, we had 20 big ships come to this place. After searching for half a year, I didn't find the elixir of immortality. Immortal Master Xu Fu found some spiritual materials and elixirs. Xu Duwei said: "We continued to walk forward, and in the southern sea, we found some isolated islands. ”

Here's a sad story.

Xu Fu and his entourage foresaw a big snake with eight heads on the isolated island. With eight heads, he is sure to be a demon! What's more, this big snake is hundreds of feet long!

Xu Duwei led people to shoot with crossbow arrows! Slash with a broadsword, stab with a sword! Nothing worked!

As soon as the big snake opened its mouth and sucked dozens of soldiers into its stomach.

Xu Duwei carried a sword given by Qin Shi Huang, and was swallowed by a big snake.

Tian fought for a long time, and even Xu Duwei was bitten by the big snake into two sections!

Xu Duwei originally thought he was going to die, but I don't know why, he was still alive. It's just living in the form of a soul body, and it's not able to communicate with people.

Until one day, a little girl picked up an eight-foot Qionggou jade on the beach and kept it close to her.

A few years later, Xu Duwei found that he could communicate with the little girl, so he passed on the ideology and culture of the Qin people to her, and guided her to establish a small country, which was the Yamatai Kingdom. This little girl is Queen Himiko.

"That's it" Gongsun Kang finally understood the cause and effect, and it also matched the later history of Wajima.

Legend has it that the Kusanagi Sword was a sword obtained from the tail of the Great Snake after Susanoo (the god of the sea) subdued the Yagi Orochi. Legend has it that as long as there is a large snake in Yaqi, there will be clouds floating in the sky above it, so the sword was originally called "Tiancong Cloud Sword".

According to the Kojiki, Sujan Woozun (also known as Susanoo) met Ashiina Shiina and Tenashi Shiina in Izumo Province, and they had eight children, but seven of them were dedicated to Yagi Orochi, and they told Suzhan Uzumun that Yagi Orochi was about to eat their last daughter, Kushinata Bimai, and Suzhan Woozun promised to remove the Yagi Orochi for the old couple, but on the condition that he marry him to him.

He dressed up as a strange rice field hime, brought eight barrels of wine, and placed them in different places, Yaqi Orochi was tempted by the smell of wine, and stretched out his eight heads into different barrels to drink, Suzhan Wuzun took the opportunity to cut off the head of Yagi Orochi one by one with a ten-fist sword, and then cut off its tail, and when he cut off the fourth tail, he found a sword in the snake's body, which he named "Tencong Cloud Sword" and dedicated it to Amaterasu.

Later, during the reign of the twelfth Emperor of Japan, Emperor Keiyuki, the sword was obtained by the Japanese Emperor, who was deceived into hunting deer on the grasslands when he arrived in Suruga Province, and the local warlords burned the grasslands with rockets and killed the horses to prevent him from escaping. During this period, he found that the Tiancong Cloud Sword could control the wind direction and could survive the disaster, so he named the Tiancong Cloud Sword "Kusanagi Sword".

It seems that this so-called Kusanagi sword" is Xu Duwei's saber.

"Do you have any magic weapons with you?" Zuo Ci asked.

Looking at Xu Duwei's confused gaze, Zuo Ci reminded him: "For example, the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade you live in now can hold the soul body, and it is a magic weapon." ”

"Oh" Xu Duwei understood, and he said: "Xu Fu Immortal Master also has a mirror that can seal demons and monsters, it should be the magic weapon you said!" ”

There is no doubt that this mirror is the Eight Mirrors!

Finally found the source of the Kusanagi Sword, the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade, and the Eight Mirrors, and Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci were both relieved.

"Is the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade also the magic weapon of Master Xu Fuxian?" Gongsun Kang began to ask for details.

"It should be" Xu Duwei said: "Qiong Goyu used to be just a small ornament hanging on the belt of Xu Fu Immortal Master, but I didn't expect it to be able to contain the soul body. ”

"What happened to Immortal Master Xu Fu?" Zuo Ci asked again.

"I don't know, when I died, he was fine." Xu Duwei said: "But Qiong Goyu is on the seaside, and it is unlucky to come to Xu Fuxianshi." ”
