Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang said goodbye to the White Tiger, and they went all the way north, until they came to the northern land. At this time, it is a cold winter in the north, and the endless snow freezes the forests and mountains in the vast wilderness. As far as the eye can see, there is silence on the snowfield, except for the occasional hoof prints of a few animals, there is no longer the breath of the world.

At this time, Nuwa Niangniang's fourth child is about to be born in this ice and snow. In order to find a warmer place for Niangniang to give birth, Emperor Fuxi searched all the nearby mountains and rivers, but there was no place to stay.

Niangniang, they walked and walked, and they came to the shore of the North Sea. At this time, Nuwa Niangniang couldn't walk. The emperor was helpless, so he had to spit out a mouthful of real fire on the Fuxi sword, and after quenching the sword, the Fuxi sword could also cut ice like mud.

The Emperor took a large piece of ice by the seashore and used his sword to divide the ice into square pieces. The Emperor built up ice cubes and poured ice water on them, so that a makeshift igloo was built.

Not to mention that this igloo is crystal clear, beautiful and generous, and strangely good-looking. The space of the igloo was not small, but it was empty, and the emperor went to fetch a few large rectangular ice cubes and a few smaller ice cubes. After a busy morning, a simple bed and a few simple tables were ready.

After doing all this, the emperor helped Niangniang into the house and sat down, and when he touched Niangniang's forehead, it was cold. The emperor hurriedly went to the snow to pick up some dry firewood and piled it in the house, and Nuwa Niangniang sprayed fire on the firewood and grass, and the firewood burned instantly.

The emperor covered Nuwa Niangniang's cheeks with both hands, wanting to add some warmth to her. Then, he said with concern: "Honorable sister, my brother can't do anything more for you, so you can just take it." It's a little colder and a little more bitter here. But having a house that can shelter you from the wind and snow is better than sleeping outside. ”

Nuwa Niangniang gazed at Emperor Fuxi affectionately, she snuggled tightly on the emperor's shoulder, and her heart was already full of gratitude.

Nuwa Niangniang smiled and said, "Brother Venerable, with you, I don't feel bitter." Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who would be busy for me, someone who would be there for me? I'm already content. ”

When night fell, as soon as the mother was about to fall asleep, she felt uncomfortable, so she tossed and turned and tossed. Seeing that Niangniang couldn't sleep, Emperor Fuxi knew that the child might be about to be born, so the Emperor hurriedly got up and went outside to get some dry firewood.

Suddenly, I heard a crackling sound in the air. Along with this sound, there was also a brilliant and colorful arctic fluorescence, which pierced through the sky and scattered on the vast land.

Emperor Fuxi was stunned by this beautiful view, and he looked at it. Then I saw the red glow on the side of the distant mountain illuminating the earth, and a touch of new green fell from the sky, and the new green was like a girl's falling gauze skirt. When the breeze blew, the red glow turned a dark purple. The new green also turned into wisps of pale green mixed with moon-white veil, and they steamed like light smoke and mist to the sky.

After a while, the light smoke and mist drifted somewhere? A touch of lilac covered the snowfield, and above the lilac was a layer of vivid green green, and on top of the green green, there were a few inky black clouds.

Emperor Fuxi held his breath, for fear of alarming the creation god. He looked into the mountains again, and above the forest, at some point, a jade and warm green jade gem was buckled, and on the top of the gem was a circle of dark blue color filling the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the jewel was gone, and what was close to the ground became a newborn sunrise, and it was like the distant sunset. The upper end of the glow was covered with a layer of purple, and the upper end of the purple floated a layer of orange-red, and the upper end of the orange-red was attached to a layer of dark blue. In the dark blue sky, there are jewel-like shining stars.

At this time, Emperor Fuxi patronized the gorgeous aurora, and had long forgotten that Nuwa Niangniang was still enduring the pain, and she was waiting for the birth of the child. Although Niangniang also saw the unpredictable and beautiful aurora, she couldn't bear to disturb the emperor's interest, so she had to grit her teeth and persevere.

Another colorful light struck, and the beautiful gap made the bright red, light orange, bright yellow, dark green, water blue, blue, and purple all over the sky. The colored lights swayed leisurely, like a curtain hanging down from the sky. They are like fairies, twisting their beautiful bodies in the dark night sky, which will inevitably make people forget whether they are in fairyland or in the world.

"Ouch!" Nuwa Niangniang couldn't hold it anymore, so she let out a low moan.

As soon as Emperor Fuxi looked back, he slapped his thigh and secretly shouted: "It's bad, how can I forget about business?" ”

The Emperor hurriedly ran into the house and took Nuwa Niangniang out of bed. He said apologetically: "Sister, come and see, you see that this aurora is so beautiful, it's the first time we've seen it, it's amazing." ”

Before Emperor Fuxi could finish speaking, he saw a green light splashing out of nowhere, like a green veil covering the sky. The emperor saw that Nuwa Niangniang couldn't walk, so he picked up Niangniang and came outside. As soon as the emperor was about to put Niangniang down, he saw something rolling into the sea, and under the light of the aurora, a wave was stirred up in the sea.

The Emperor asked, what was that? The mother said embarrassedly: "It may be that our child fell into the water." ”

"What? Did our child fall into the sea? It's worth it! The Emperor was so frightened that he was about to jump into the sea.

Nuwa Niangniang grabbed the emperor, and Niangniang said: "Brother! Don't be in such a hurry. Don't forget, this time, the children we gave birth to in the north are not afraid of water. Not only is it not afraid of water, but it also likes water, maybe it is the category of aquatic. Look, that little guy is playing in the water! Isn't it playing comfortably in that water? ”

Emperor Fuxi looked in the direction of Nuwa Niangniang's finger, and in the ice cave that had just been cut, a small sea turtle was floating on the water. It paddles, floats, swims to the side and climbs onto the ice, slips and jumps into the water.

The Emperor saw that it was very cute, and called it ashore. But the little turtle didn't come up alive or dead. Nuwa Niangniang said: "Brother Zun, it is born an aquatic child, and it is not afraid of the cold, I think it will go!" ”

Emperor Fuxi was still a little worried, he said: "Honorable sister! On such a cold day, is it really not afraid of the cold? ”

Niangniang said: "Don't be afraid! It's frozen with ice, and it can't freeze to death. ”

When the emperor heard Niangniang say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Emperor summoned it again, and the little turtle showed its head and went under the ice again. The emperor shook his head helplessly, and helped Nuwa Niangniang into the house to rest.

Because he had something on his mind, Emperor Fuxi never slept all night. As soon as the genius was bright, the emperor got up. With trepidation, he walked out onto the ice. I saw that the ice cave was no longer there, and a thin layer of ice had formed there overnight. The emperor frowned, and he looked for the little turtle again, but he couldn't find it. The anxious emperor hurriedly smashed open the ice, and the divine turtle swam out, and it turned out that it had become a great divine turtle.

The Emperor seemed to have found the lost treasure, and he was so anxious that he took the turtle in his arms, pressed it to the cheek and kissed it. The Emperor looked at the child again and found that the turtle had grown a unique body just like its compatriots.

I saw that this turtle was carrying a pair of dark blue armor, and the full moon seemed to have deep markings on the armor, and there seemed to be a dark green dragon entrenched in the middle of the markings. The turtle has a small, pointed head, short, flattened limbs, and a small tail that sticks out of the back.

Emperor Fuxi unintentionally poked the turtle, and the limbs and head of the turtle suddenly retracted into the turtle shell. At this time, Nuwa Niangniang also got up. She saw that the emperor was playing with the turtle, so the mother said, "Brother! It's time for you to give us a name for this turtle. ”

The emperor scratched his scalp and said humbly: "What's it called?" You see? ”

Niangniang laughed and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”

The Emperor looked at the turtle again, and it was staring at him with small eyes. As soon as the Emperor raised his hand, the Divine Turtle thought that the Emperor was going to hurt it, and it actually bit the Emperor's finger. The pain made the Emperor quickly beat, but it bit harder.

Nuwa Niangniang hurriedly scolded, the turtle didn't listen to this at all, it still bit the emperor's hand and didn't let go. Niangniang said: "Brother Venerable, you quickly turn the turtle on its back down." Then, press its belly again and see if it can loosen its mouth. ”

The emperor hurriedly did as Niangniang instructed, hey! It worked, the emperor only pressed it, and the turtle relented. The emperor looked at the bitten and swollen fingers, and he didn't dare to hug the turtle anymore. Nuwa Niangniang came over and blew her breath again, and the emperor's fingers didn't hurt anymore.

As soon as the turtle hit the ground, it jumped into the water again, and after a while it climbed ashore again. The emperor was so angry that he said to the turtle: "Why do you still use force against Lao Tzu, the son of your turtle?" See if I don't clean you up. ”

Angry is angry, the emperor is still quite concerned about this turtle son. He took a closer look at this turtle and found that it was a blue turtle with scales, a turtle and a snake, and a vast supernatural power. Emperor Fuxi named this Xuanwu son "Xuanwu".

Nuwa Niangniang clapped her hands and said quickly: "Brother Venerable, don't look at this Xuanwu turtle is inconspicuous, but the auspiciousness of Xuanwu is no less than the other three divine beasts. Xuanwu can still bring happiness and tranquility to the world wherever it goes, it is a very long-lived northern water god, and its lifespan can be as good as that of the sky. Because Xuanwu is still the spirit beast of this northern underworld spirit, we might as well call it 'Xuanwu' or 'Northern Underworld'. ”

Emperor Fuxi also clapped his hands, and he said: "Honorable sister, in fact, our four children, Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, are four psychic beasts that shake one side of each other. They are all gods of the four directions with great powers, and we might as well assign them to their respective missions. I think let Qinglong and Baihu be responsible for suppressing evil and warding off evil, and be in charge of the Quartet. Let Suzaku and Xuanwu be responsible for increasing auspiciousness and helping Rui, and harmonizing yin and yang. Wouldn't that be great? ”

Nuwa Niangniang seemed to remember something, and she said: "Brother Venerable, when we came to the world, didn't the Emperor Taihuang give you the position of emperor and let you be in charge of all things in heaven and earth?" You can just let our children, the four gods, manage the things on earth, and you can just make the twenty-eight heavenly nights easier, isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

Niangniang's reminder, Emperor Fuxi was even more enlightened. He said, "Honorable sister, since our children occupy one side in the east, west, north and south, and since they can manage the four earths, why can't they manage the four heavens and stars?" I think let these four gods rule over the twenty-eight heavenly nights. Let's let Qinglong be in charge: Jiaosu, Kangsu, Shisu, Fangsu, Xinsu, Weisu, Keiju, the seven stars of the East; Let our White Tiger be in charge of Kuisu, Lousu, Stomach, Angsu, Bisu, Jiaosu, and Betelgeuse, the seven stars of the West; Let our Suzaku be in charge of the wells, ghosts, willows, stars, zhang, wings, and the seven southern stars; Wouldn't it be better to let our Xuanwu be in charge of Dousu, Niusu, Female, Void, Dangerous, Room, and Bisu, the Seven Stars of the North. ”

Nuwa Niangniang watched the emperor shirk responsibility like this, and she smiled weirdly: "It seems that my respected brother still has a way, that is, he pushed the burden to others, and left the leisure to himself." Importantly, it also exercises the children. It also gives you more time to do things outside of heaven and earth, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Emperor Fuxi laughed and said, "Respected sister is honored sister!" I still know me! I am not going to do things outside heaven and earth, but I am going to do things inside heaven and earth. Because within this world, we still have a lot to do. ”
