The Third Age, Mother Earth Chapter 6 Creation Beast 2
After Nuwa Niangniang and her entourage left Bifang, they traveled all the way to the south. On this day, Niangniang and they unconsciously came to the Yangtze River that could not be seen on the other side. It was the first time for Tianlong and Tianfeng to see such a big river, especially when they saw the turbulent waves of the rolling Yangtze River, they were very excited and couldn't help but feel excited.
So, Tianlong asked Nuwa Niangniang: "Mother Zun Niangniang!" For such a wide Yangtze River, how do we cross it? ”
Niangniang said: "Children! For those of us who know how to spell, no amount of river can stop us. Aren't we going to activate the divine power to leap over? It was a no-brainer! ”
Tianlong scratched his scalp in shame and said, "That's right! It's such a reason, why don't I turn my brain? ”
Tianfeng listened to the conversation between the two of them and said happily: "Huh! It must be fun! Why don't we all compete and see who flies over first? ”
After Tianfeng finished speaking, she turned into a golden phoenix, and she didn't wait for everyone to respond, so she flew away in a hurry. The heavenly dragon also turned into a golden dragon, and the heavenly phoenix spread its wings one after the other and flew above the waves.
I only heard Nuwa Niangniang say in the back: "Alas! Look at these two children, I don't know how to wait for me, you guys are really not talking! ”
Wow! The vast Yangtze River is really magnificent, only to see the blue river surface of thousands of waves, smoke and clouds, rippling blue waves, big waves churning. The rolling Yangtze River is like a long dragon that rushes endlessly and pours for thousands of miles.
The three of them were amazed, they looked eastward, but saw that the back waves of the river pushed the front waves, the huge waves rushed to the east, and the thousands of waves slapped on both sides of the river, and the dragon did not look back. They looked westward, but saw that the clouds and the water were endless, and the silver ribbon was flowing through the clouds. There is a total of one place in the head of the river, and the blue water is thick with white waves one by one.
Everyone was simply stunned by the sight of the water and sky, and its magnificence was so wonderful. So much so that everyone patronized and enjoyed the scenery, but they forgot to look at their feet for a while. It turned out that they had already unknowingly flown to a mountain. When they saw that they had flown over the mountain, they had no choice but to settle on a sunny hillside on the south side of the mountain.
In fact, the mountain is not very high, and there is a beautiful lake at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain has its back to the Yangtze River and faces the sun. There are also several soothing mountains around the main peak. There are also some streams and waterfalls scattered between the peaks, and the mountains are full of forests and lush scenery.
Nuwa Niangniang stood on the hillside and looked out, and saw the sun in the mountains, the warm breeze, the trees in the forest swaying gently, and the branches of birds singing happily. Seeing that the scenery here is so beautiful, Niangniang is not in a hurry to leave. She said, "Children! Since the scenery is so beautiful here, let's rest here for a while, shall we? So they sat down and rested.
Suddenly, there was a distant "Woo! Woo! Woo ------" sound, the voice is high-pitched and deep, from far to near, almost like thunder. Tianlong and Tianfeng trembled with fright when they heard this terrifying sound, they didn't know what kind of monster it was.
After a while, everyone saw a giant beast running out of the forest, and wow! That guy wasn't just a monster, it was a monster. I saw that this monster had a big head on its head, and on this big head there were eight small heads, and each of these eight small heads had eight human faces. The strange thing is that all these heads have grown on the body of a very powerful tiger.
What's even more strange is that the fur on this tiger-faced beast is not like other tigers, its fur is blue-yellow and has no markings. And the human-faced beast was also very tall, like a behemoth. In addition, it has eight legs, eight legs, and eight tails.
As soon as Nuwa Niangniang saw this human-faced beast, she asked Tianlong and Tianfeng to hide first. The mother told them, "Children! Don't be afraid, don't look at this tiger-faced beast so mighty. In fact, it is also a docile and kind divine beast, you can rest assured, it will not harm people. Dragon, wind! Do you two remember that when we were making people out of clay, didn't we create some beasts? In fact, this mythical beast is the first beast we created in the world after we created the clay figure.
The children! The name of this mythical beast is 'Tianwu', and in the earliest days, it was also called 'Tianyu', and now some people still call it 'Shuibo'. The reason why this Tianyu grew like this is because we had no experience when we made it, which led to the mistake of making Tianwu. Thinking about that time, my tears had dried up, but I still wanted to continue to create people, and then I was anxious to make some fish, beasts, insects, birds and other animals, so I attracted the river water to soak the wet soil and make mud for use.
I remember that I made them into human-shaped mud tires first, and because there were no tears or mud, I used river water instead. However, the mud from the river is not easy to use at all, and the clay figurines made are not presentable. At that time, I made eight clay figurines out of river mud, and I also used the merit treasure to cast spells on them, but I didn't expect that none of them were formed. So, I had to rub them together again to make a larger one. Later, seeing that it was really unsuccessful, I simply threw them up the hill.
I never thought that once I accidentally saw it in the forest near the Yellow River, and Tianyu at that time was what Tianyu is now. At that time, Tianyu was still the king of divine beasts in the forest on the bank of the Yellow River. Because at that time, Tianyu was in charge of all the beasts in that forest, and the animals there also listened to it. However, I heard that Tianyu later led some beasts to migrate here, and after Tianyu came to the Yangtze River, he gave up the title of beast king and became a water god specializing in managing rivers and seas. Because it has contributed to this place, the people here worship it and regard it as an auspicious beast. Therefore, the people here worship Tianwu as the water god of rivers, lakes and seas, and call it 'Shuibo'. ”
Tianlong and Tianfeng listened to Niangniang tell about the distant past, and they also remembered that there was such a thing, so they were no longer afraid of this terrifying Tianwu on the surface. Everyone saw that Tianwu was walking here. Tianlong said: "Mother Zun Niangniang! Should we say hello to it? ”
Niangniang said: "Why not? Are we all friends! ”
Tianlong shouted at Tianwu a few zhang away: "Water God Tianwu! Hello friends! We meet again! ”
As soon as Tianwu looked up, he saw Nuwa Niangniang, Tianlong, and Tianfeng coming, and it was happy to woo! Woo! screamed twice, and spit out a large circle of clouds and mist from his mouth, which was regarded as a meeting gift for everyone.
Nuwa Niangniang also said happily: "Tianwu! We're finally meeting again. You have worked hard for you to govern this place smoothly and prosperously, and my Nuwa is really happy for you. ”
However, Tianwu seemed to be slow, and Mu Mu didn't talk much. It just shook its head, knelt down on two feet again, and kowtowed to Nuwa Niangniang with the other six legs, still making a whining sound in its mouth, which was regarded as respect and repayment for Nuwa Niangniang.
Niangniang saw that Tianwu was very polite, but very dull, and felt that she had nothing to say to it. Then he said: "Tianwu! We also came here to enjoy the mountains and rivers and pass by here. Since you're doing well here, we won't bother, I think we'll see you again someday! ”
Tianwu was very happy to see Niangniang come to see it, but he was not good at expressing it, so he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. In a hurry, the eight little faces on Tianwu's head all scrambled to speak.
Tianfeng saw that they were scrambling for words, chattering and messing around, and everyone couldn't hear a word clearly. Tianfeng was also a little anxious, so she said, "Tianwu! So you can talk? But it's a mess, and you let them come one by one. ”
Who would have expected that Tianwu still whined twice, and it still shook its head and couldn't say anything. Nuwa Niangniang didn't want to be embarrassed by it, so she said: "Tianwu, since you can't speak, forget it, let your eight people speak for you!" But everyone can only come one by one, and they can only say one word at a time. ”
So, the eight small-faced people smiled and nodded together. I only heard the first person say: "Mother has arrived!" There is a long way to go! Welcome! ”
The second humane: "Mother Zun Niangniang!" Your grace of creation, the world is great, and Tianwu will never forget! ”
The third person said: "Mother Zun Niangniang! You made one life for others, but you made eight lives for heaven, thank you! ”
The fourth person said: "Back then, the king of Tianyu Forest, such as today's Wujiang River God, this is all your merit!" ”
The fifth person is humane: "All living beings in the world have one mother, and one mother is merciful to all people in the world." ”
The sixth person said: "My mother is dedicated to the world, and the whole world respects my mother." ”
The seventh person said: "Mother is a god of the four seas, who does the prosperity of the four seas depend on?" ”
The eighth person said: "Mother's mother's light shines, and it warms my heart for thousands of years!" ”
After listening to Nuwa Niangniang, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Oops! My children! I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking with your small mouths. How can you flatter me like this? It made me feel a little embarrassed. ”
Tianlong and Tianfeng listened to everyone's praise of Nuwa Niangniang, and they all agreed with such praise, and they all stretched out their thumbs and applauded. Nuwa Niangniang said: "Long'er, Feng'er, don't make a fuss, I think, let's say hello to Tianwu and hurry as soon as possible!" ”
After Nuwa Niangniang said goodbye to Tianwu, they walked for more than a month and came to a plain. When it got dark, they planned to find a place to spend the night, but they couldn't find it for a long time. They were worrying, when suddenly a tall man walked by in the moonlight. Because everyone didn't pay attention, the man hit the three of them headlong.
Tianlong got up and said angrily: "Who walks without long eyes, and doesn't apologize quickly when he knocks us down?" ”
Nuwa Niangniang got up, she patted the dust on her body and said, "Long'er! Don't be rude! We didn't avoid it in time, in fact, there are also mistakes, let's not just blame others! ”
Before everyone finished speaking, Tianfeng shouted in surprise: "Ah! Niangniang, look at it, this person is really weird, he has three heads and six arms, he is a weird person! ”
Everyone listened, and Qi Shushu turned their eyes to the man. In the moonlight, a tall figure stood there. I saw that the man had a serious face and a mighty form. His body was solid, and his legs and feet were thick and powerful, like steel and iron bones. In addition, he was born with three resolute heads and six strong long arms, and he was like a monster.
Nuwa Niangniang couldn't help but exclaim: "Oops! Isn't this a 'wandering mind' Taizhang? Or let you 'be good at distraction'. Great God! It's so late, you don't keep vigil on Sanxian Island, why are you here? ”
Jihai fixed his mind and said, "Oh! It turned out to be Nuwa Niangniang! I'm sorry sissy! Because I couldn't sleep at night, I went out for a walk, and I didn't want to come here, and I didn't want to knock you down. Empress! Are you lost, why are you here? Shall I send you back? ”
After hearing this, everyone came to their senses, and then Niangniang smiled: "Zhuhai! No problem! We just couldn't find a place to stay. I think since it's so late, and it's almost dawn, let's talk for a while, and we'll set off after dawn. ”
Unconsciously, Dongfang had revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and Nuwa Niangniang hurriedly asked everyone to find some wild fruits nearby to satisfy their hunger. However, the amount of food in Zhuhai was surprisingly large, and he ate a lot of melons and fruits, but he still didn't eat enough. When Tianlong saw this, he went to the small river and caught fish and shrimp for him to eat, and Zhuhai ate a lot of fish and shrimp, and finally ate half full.
At this time, a red sun was rising from the horizon, and Nuwa Niangniang said with interest: "Zhuhai, since you are known as a good wanderer, why don't you take a walk and let us see how good you are." ”
Zhuhai patted his chest and said, "What's so difficult about this, just look at me!" ”
As he spoke, he walked up like a fly. He had long legs, a big stride, and a very fast walk. He walked as fast as a gust of wind, so fast that wild horses, hares, and birds could not catch up with him.
Zhuhai hurried all the way south, and in a blink of an eye, everyone couldn't see him. In a short time, he hurried back from the north. Zhuhai told Nuwa Niangniang that there were a total of 233,575 steps from the South Pole to the North Pole.
Niangniang nodded in satisfaction and encouraged Zhuhai to continue walking. Without waiting to catch his breath, he hurried eastward again, and in a short time he returned from the west. Zhuhai said: "Report to Niangniang, from the East Pole to the West Pole, there are a total of 5009,863 steps.
Nuwa Niangniang saw that Zhuhai was so able to walk, and he could calculate, so she said to him: "Zhuhai! I recommend that you get a good night's sleep for thousands of years. Then, just wait for a saint to appear. At that time, will you continue to serve everyone according to the instructions of the saints and the will of God? ”
Zhu Hai said: "Why is it bad? I think that when my mother built me, I used the hard stone and hard soil of the iron mountain to build the steel and iron bones I built, and my life was given by my mother, how could I not listen to my mother's words? ”
Nuwa Niangniang smiled with satisfaction, she asked Zhuhai to remember the agreement at this time, and said goodbye to Zhuhai here, and then led Tianlong and Tianfeng to continue to move forward.
Nuwa Niangniang said goodbye to Zhuhai, and they continued all the way north. One day, Niangniang and they came to the Qingshui River Basin. And in the hilly area, it is the twilight of autumn. I saw that the river valley plains here are crisscrossed, and the Chuantang basin is covered with fallen leaves. Even the loess slopes were overgrown with thorns, a desolate scene of twilight.
Nuwa Niangniang, they walked casually along the river. Suddenly, they found a corpse lying in the grass on the shore. I saw that the man had a sallow face and a hideous face, his long hair was scattered, his neck was broken, and a pool of black blood had been shed all over the ground. And the man still had a wide open mouth, a long tongue sticking out, and he was missing an arm and a palm.
Nuwa Niangniang saw that this person was pitiful, and she was just about to ask Tianlong and Tianfeng to bury the corpse. Suddenly, the mother smelled a strange stench. Niangniang looked carefully, and she found that the carrion was already covered with plaque, and many dense insects were gnawing at the corpse.
Nuwa Niangniang screamed, telling Tianlong and Tianfeng to leave here quickly. Before she could finish speaking, she saw that the corpse actually moved on its own. The mother said that it was not good, and she recognized that this was the legendary "according to the corpse".
didn't wait for Tianlong Tianfeng to leave, only to see the corpse stand up all of a sudden, and rushed towards them. Tianlong was busy protecting Tianfeng, Tianfeng was so frightened that his soul flew away, he had forgotten to dodge, and he was even paralyzed on the ground. The mother knew that if she touched the corpse, the person's body would begin to rot. This is because, according to the corpse, the corpse poison is extremely smelly, and its poison is incurable.
Nuwa Niangniang didn't think much about it, and said that it was too late, and it was too soon, and Niangniang spewed out the true fire of Samadhi at once, covering the corpse in the fire dragon. I only heard a "beep-pop" sound, and the plaque on the corpse was gone, and the insects on the corpse were burned to death in the firelight.
However, strange things happened then, and it is said that not only was his body not burned to death, but he was miraculously resurrected. After being resurrected, he suddenly radiated and turned into a handsome man. He thanked Niangniang for saving his life, and asked Niangniang what he commanded.
Nuwa Niangniang said: "According to the comparison! Life and death are fateful, God is sincere, no matter what, this is your creation. According to the comparison, I don't have any requirements for you, I just want to attach you to the priesthood of the underworld and send you to the underworld to build a Yama Hall of the Netherworld Underworld. I want you to take care of all those who die so that they can rest in peace. I hope that after they pass away, they will neither be disturbed by the world, nor be zombies to disturb the world. ”
He was very pleased to accept the order, and he thanked Nuwa Niangniang and went away alone.
Nuwa Niangniang saw that there were Tianwu and Bi Fang in the world. The great gods of Zhuhai, Zhibi, and Candle Yin work together to maintain order in the world. They coordinated the changes in the land, landscapes, trees, light and darkness, etc., and Nuwa Niangniang felt very gratified. That's because with their division of labor and cooperation, everything in the world can be more harmonious and beautiful, which is what Niangniang expects most.
Tianlong saw that Niangniang was in a good mood, so he asked: "Mother Zun Niangniang!" Where are we going again this time? ”
Nuwa Niangniang said happily: "Children! After such a long time of running, I think you're tired too, right? I think let's go home first! ”
