The Seventh Age, Fuxi Salvation Chapter 2 Fire Ancestor Suiren
Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang originally lived very comfortably in Jiangshui, which was due to the smooth nature at this time, which provided relatively rich nutrients, enough to make the people living in Jiangshui live well. Therefore, the emperor and Niangniang had no scruples, so they had to give birth to children one by one. Soon they had more and more children, their people were growing, and their families were thriving and happy.
Recently, however, the Emperor had discovered that many of his people were suffering from a strange disease. This strange disease makes people vomit and diarrhea, and fidget. It often only takes a few days, and such an illness will torture people like withered bodies, and some even die.
Seeing this, the emperor also had a heart disease in his heart. This heart disease has always haunted him, and caused the emperor to have trouble sleeping. The emperor asked himself, how could children get such a strange disease? I don't know if such a strange disease can be cured? If the children are not treated quickly, this thriving family will not be guaranteed.
Nuwa Niangniang also couldn't sleep for a long time, she anxiously guarded the sick children day and night, and her tears had long since flowed. It's just that Niangniang just gave birth to a child recently, and her body is still very weak.
Niangniang saw a few children vomiting on the ground with yellow faces and thin muscles, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she said regretfully: "Brother Zun, our children are going to die, and we can't watch them die." Now, let's hurry up and cast a spell to save the children, right? Maybe they can still be saved. ”
So, Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang tried to heal the children themselves. The two sat cross-legged in front of the children together, closed their eyes slightly, recited the exorcism spell together in their mouths, and pushed all the mana together with luck, and finally pushed all the mana towards the children together.
After casting the spell, the emperor and Niangniang breathed a sigh of relief, and they opened their eyes at the same time. Nuwa Niangniang picked up a child, the child was soft, Niangniang rolled his eyelids again, and found that the child was wilted and had no spirit at all, and Niangniang was finally deflated.
When the emperor saw Niangniang's sighing appearance, he knew that it was not good, so he asked Niangniang: "Sister, has our mana not achieved the expected effect?" ”
Nuwa Niangniang burst into tears, she wiped her tears and said, "Brother Venerable, at this time, our children are already in a worrying situation, and our mana has not played a big role. This time, I just saved their lives first. Brother Venerable, it may be that we have been in the world for a long time, and our divine power has been exhausted. I found that since I gave birth to the Red Emperor, the original mana has naturally disappeared. I think that since we can't save our children, there is nothing they can do about it. Woo------, what are you going to do with the kids? ”
Emperor Fuxi comforted Niangniang and said: "Sister, we have no other way, we can only turn to the outside world now to see who can bring our children back to life." ”
When encountering such a thing, he couldn't be lazy, and Emperor Fuxi hurriedly handed over the things at home to the Red Emperor to do, and he walked around and asked if there was anyone who could save the children's lives. After many inquiries, the emperor finally heard the news of the master.
One day, Emperor Fuxi saw a man from the west, and the man told him that in the far west, there was a "Suiming Kingdom"; In the Kingdom of Suiming, there is a "Suiren Clan". This flint is very smart, and he may have special skills. Because, he can make the people of Suiming Kingdom healthy and healthy, and they will not get sick often.
After the emperor heard this, he couldn't wait to go to Suiming Kingdom to find the Suiren clan immediately, so that everyone could be relieved of their illness one day earlier. The emperor wanted to leave immediately, but he was not at ease at home. I feel that if I leave, there will be no one to take care of me at home. So he asked the Red Emperor to stay in Jiangshui and take care of everything at home first, and he set off west with Nuwa Niangniang.
Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang left Jiang Shui and walked west for a long, long time, until they finally came to the place that the man pointed to, and the two of them stood in a sandy area and looked around. Ay! There is no Suiming country here, there is an endless desert everywhere. Besides, there is nothing here except the desert and the wind and sand?
Standing in this vast desert, Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang were a little disappointed. They had walked a long way, they were already tired, thirsty, and sweaty, but they hadn't found the shadow of Sui Mingguo, what could they do?
Nuwa Niangniang looked at the vast desert, and she said with some discouragement: "Brother Venerable, now that our skills have been lost, and we are trapped in this endless place, do you think we can still get out of here?" Will we ever see our children again? ”
Emperor Fuxi put his arms around Nuwa Niangniang and said, "Honorable sister, don't be discouraged! We are the children of heaven and earth, and God is not kind to us, and whenever we encounter difficulties, there will always be divine power to help us. I think we'll rest for a while and recuperate, and we'll figure it out after noon. ”
Nuwa Niangniang was also too tired, she listened to the words of Emperor Fuxi, and obediently lay in the emperor's arms and fell asleep. The emperor comforted Nuwa Niangniang and also entered a sweet sleep together.
As soon as the two of them fell asleep, they felt that they were standing in the heart of the vast desert, and they were about to move their steps, but they saw that the desert under their feet was gone, and it had already become a large oasis like a beautiful garden, and there was a large blue lake at the edge of the oasis.
As soon as Nuwa Niangniang and Emperor Fuxi saw the lake, they rushed to the lake. They took a sip of water and felt the lake was sweet and sweet. So, they drank their fill in one gulp. After drinking enough water, the emperor and Niangniang also had spirits. They felt as if their original divine power had returned to their respective bodies all at once.
The emperor and the mother involuntarily flew lightly, and they found that this oasis was very beautiful and beautiful, it was like a fairyland. This oasis is also very large, like a big fairy island in the middle of a lake. It is surrounded by a very large azure lake, and its center is covered by a canopy like an emerald green umbrella.
Seeing this, they fell to the ground, and the emperor took Niangniang's hand and walked to the depths of the oasis. As they walked around, they found that the people here were very laid-back. They don't do things either, they play in their own hands. Many people walked in the warm sunshine, and many gathered around the lawn to eat together.
When the emperor and the others passed by those people, they gave them some food in a friendly way. It was like a kind of meat, but it was something they had never seen before.
The Emperor took the food and tasted it, but it was fragrant and delicious, and it was also a special taste that they had never tasted. The two thanked the person who gave them the food and moved on. They walked a long way until they came under a large tree.
This big tree is surprisingly large, it has intertwined roots and lush branches. Its canopy covers the sky and the sun, and the canopy is so large that it seems to stretch over thousands of acres of land. Colorful clouds and mist surround this big tree.
At this time, although the scorching sun hung on the treetops, standing under the trees, I felt a slight cool breeze blowing beside me. The two of them rested under the tree for a while, and the fire just now had already been swept away by this coolness.
At this time, a person happened to pass by, and Emperor Fuxi inquired about him and asked him if he knew that there was a place called Suiming Kingdom. It seemed that the people here were very kind, and as soon as he heard someone ask him, the man opened the conversation with a grin.
The man said, "My surname is 'Feng', and my name is 'Hux', so you can call me Hux." The place where we are is is the Suiming Kingdom you are looking for. Our Suiming Kingdom is a good place, the four seasons in Suiming Kingdom are like spring, there is no day and night here, and the sun is shining everywhere, usually, the world is bright.
People here are always in good health because they don't have to worry about it, and they don't die easily. But some people live for a long time, and they also find it boring. If anyone doesn't want to live, it's easy to do, he just needs to go to the Fire Ancestor and say it, and his body and soul will go directly to the sky.
What's even more peculiar is that there is also a magical fire tree in the Suiming Kingdom, which is called "Suimu". At present, the big tree above our heads is the national tree of our Suiming Kingdom - the flint fire tree.
Besides, there is a story to the discovery of this fire tree. One day, a beautiful osprey landed on this tree, and it pecked at the small insects on the tree with its sharp beak. Bang! Bang! Bang! Every time the osprey pecked, a brilliant spark flashed from the tree. Unexpectedly, a wise saint happened to pass by, and these were all seen by this saint.
So the saint climbed up the tree and broke off a branch. He wanted to imitate the osprey's method and knock out sparks from the branches. So the saint went to find a sharp stone. Then he struck the branch with a stone. Then a miracle appeared, and the branches were quickly set on fire, and the saint folded a few more branches and put them on them, and suddenly the red flames quickly burned.
Seeing this, the saint was pleased, and he broke off some branches for experiments. He rubbed the branches with sharp stones, so that the flames generated faster. Therefore, the sage unreservedly taught the method of making fire from the wood to all the people of the Suiming Kingdom.
In fact, before the invention of fire, the people of Suiming only ate raw food. At that time, people were often sick. Ever since the saints taught people to use fire, everyone has switched to cooked food, and people have never been sick again.
In order to thank the saint for his invention, the people of Suiming Kingdom regarded the saint as a hero. So, everyone held a grand group meeting under this fire tree. Everyone unanimously elected this saint as the tribal leader of the Suiming Kingdom, and affectionately called him 'Fire Ancestor' or 'Suihuang'. In fact, the name of this Fire Ancestor is 'Suiren Clan'. ”
Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa Niangniang finally found the Suiming Kingdom, and they also learned about the Suiren Clan from Hux. They couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Hux's again, where does the Suiren clan live now?
Hux's said: "Because we are neither hot nor cold, neither dry nor dry here, and the four seasons are like spring." Here there is green grass for paving, and fire trees for covering. So, every place here is a good place to live. You want to ask where the Suihuang lives now? I don't know. However, although the Suiren clan is a fire ancestor, he does not have a special residence, and he does not have a palace, but lives with everyone at will,"
Emperor Fuxi asked suspiciously, "Hux, are you safe when you sleep?" Are you not afraid that wild beasts will come out against you? ”
Huxs said with a smile: "The wild beasts are all on a small island not far from our Suiming country, where there are many wild beasts, and we often go there to hunt wild beasts and cook them, and we often catch some fish in the lakes around us and roast them. ”
While everyone was talking, it happened that the Suiren clan came over, and Hux's hurriedly bowed to the Suihuang Emperor, and introduced the Fuxi Emperor and Nuwa Niangniang to the Suihuang Emperor. Suihuang doesn't take a shelf, he is also very enthusiastic. He asked Huxs to fetch some prey, and they had a barbecue while talking.
Just as Hux's went to get his prey, he saw that the Suihuang had already climbed onto the fire tree, and he broke some branches, and he also broke a very large branch. The Suihuang placed the branch across the ground and used the tip of a thinner and straight branch to drill vigorously into one part of the branch.
The Suihuang went from slow to fast, skillfully turning the branch. After a while, I saw a puff of smoke rise from the top of the branch, and then a flame burst up. The Suihuang piled all the leaves and branches together, and when the branches burned, the pile of leaves had become a raging trend.
The bonfire was lit, and the Suihuang set up a grill with a branch, and it just so happened that Hux's got the prey as well. They put a pheasant on top of it and roasted it, and they saw the fire licking and burning more and more vigorously.
In a short time, white smoke rose from the skin and flesh of the pheasant, and a splash of oil also dripped down, and then a burst of aroma came to the pheasant, and the pheasant was cooked. Emperor Sui took off the roast chicken and gave it to Emperor Fuxi to eat, and the Emperor pulled a chicken leg and gave it to Emperor Sui, and then took another one to Hux, and then tore off a piece of chicken and gave it to Nuwa Niangniang, and he also took a piece of chicken neck and gnawed it. Everyone eats fragrant barbecue, which really has a unique flavor.
Everyone sat around and shared a delicious barbecue, and the Suiren clan talked about their life experience.
Emperor Sui said proudly: "At first, my hometown was not here. At that time, I had been living in the Qushui and Suishui areas. At that time, whenever we were attacked by wild beasts, we used rocks and branches as weapons to resist the invasion of wild beasts. At that time, we ate raw meat from hunted animals or raw roots or leaves of plants, and wore animal skins or clothing woven from plants. At that time, we were also often sick, and most of us lived very short lives.
At that time, the forests we lived in were often subject to fires during the dry season. Our people there have a quirk of seeing the burning fire as a bad thing. Therefore, everyone generally walks around the fire and lives in shelter from the fire. But I don't think so, others walk around the fire, but I go to the place where there is fire. Others live away from fire, but I like to live where there is fire. People will throw away animals that have been burned by fire, but I always pick them up and eat them when I find them that have been burned to death. Whenever I tear off the cooked flesh and put it in my mouth to savor it. There is always a feeling of love that cannot be put down.
Later, because I couldn't find a fire source for a long time, and I didn't have any cooked food to eat, I searched around the mountains and forests. At that time, I also found a flint fire tree in the local area, and the fire tree was similar to this one. Because this fire tree is a small sapling that I moved from next to that fire tree.
When I found the flint, I didn't know it was a fire tree that could make a fire. But then I sat under the tree and played, so I took a branch and drilled it against another branch, and there was another fire. I quickly set the fire-burning branch on fire to a pile of leaves and branches, and then I got the way to make the fire.
Later, after a long period of experience, I finally discovered the wonderful use of fire. I've found that in the cold season, if you're near a fire or basking in the sun, you're warmer. If you eat the meat of the beast that has been cooked by the fire, it is better than the raw meat, and there is less of an unpleasant fishy smell. And the taste is good, and the stomach feels comfortable.
Therefore, whenever there is a wildfire, I deliberately collect some fires and call on the people around me to roast and eat the captured beasts or picked plant roots on the fire, so that everyone can gradually overcome the habit of eating raw. I also led the people around me to stay close to the fire or bask in the sun to keep warm during the cold season, so that all the people in our area found a way to resist the cold. ”
After Emperor Sui's words, everyone gave warm applause. Emperor Fuxi woke up like a dream, and he said: "Because of this wisdom, Emperor Sui has saved a lot of people, and Fuxi admires it." However, since the Suihuang has made great achievements, you will have greater development when you stay there. But why are you here again in the land of Suiming? ”
Emperor Sui smiled and said: "Actually, when the people at that time saw that I invented the edge wood to make fire, everyone also unanimously respected me as the first person to use fire. So, they named me 'Suiren'. After I became a flint, I named the place where the fire was made 'Suiming Country'. Later, I also taught everyone how to catch fish and shrimp. It also taught people to roast and eat fish, turtles, mussels, clams and other fishy things.
At that time, I was also inspired by the discovery of the Heavenly Dao, and also named some mountains and rivers. And because the virtue of heaven and earth gave birth to all things, I realized that we human beings are the respect of all things. Since then, I have called myself the surname Feng, and then named the human race after the surname Feng. And set blood restrictions on human marriage, so that there is a strict distinction between humans and beasts, which is humanity.
I have discovered that the way of heaven can give birth to the way of the earth, and the way of heaven and earth will promote the birth of humanity. This is what I found in the Heavenly Dao view of 'one life is two, two is three, and three is all things'. But all heaven, earth, and man all begin from the nameless, and then become famous. If everything is famous, then heaven and earth are enlightened, and we human beings are the ancestors of civilization in heaven and earth. ”
This time, after hearing this, Emperor Fuxi took the lead in applauding again, because he had been shocked by Emperor Sui's speech. Emperor Fuxi paid close attention to the Suiren clan, as if he wanted to fully understand the Suihuang Fire Ancestor from the Suihuang Emperor's words.
Emperor Fuxi respectfully bowed to the Fire Ancestor and said: "Human beings are indeed the ancestors of all civilizations, and Suihuang is the ancestor of heaven and earth civilization. ”
Emperor Sui said a little shyly: "The Emperor is modest, your contribution to mankind is earth-shattering, and my Suiren clan is just doing what I can." ”
The Emperor arched his hand again and said: "Emperor Sui, I heard that there is a "River Map" and "Luo Shu" in this world, and I don't know if it has anything to do with you?" ”
Emperor Suihuang smiled: "The so-called "Hetu" and "Luoshu" are only circulated in the Suiming Kingdom, but I haven't seen them either. I only occasionally discovered the workings of the Heavenly Gang, the Heavenly Age, the Taiji Seal, and the Taiji Vortex. And these things are a bit difficult to explain, and I can't explain them clearly for a while. Secondly, I also created the Eight Ropes Criterion and the Guibiao Calendar. Since we invented the rope kneading technique, we have begun to tie knots on the straw rope. Big things are tied in big knots, and small things are big knots, and this method of remembering is called 'knotting rope notes'. ”
The Emperor couldn't help but nod his head, and he asked again: "The Suiming Kingdom that the Suihuang Emperor said is probably not the current Suiming Kingdom, right?" How did you get here? ”
Emperor Sui said: "Emperor, I am a mortal, and I naturally have a limited life. After I died, I came here without knowing it. Luckily, I had the flint sapling in my hand at the time, so I planted it here. When the people here elected me as the Emperor of Sui, I also built a Suiming Kingdom here. ”
As soon as Emperor Sui said this, Nuwa Niangniang was a little hesitant, she said: "Emperor Sui, I came here with the Emperor to ask for treatment for our sick children, who also fell ill due to eating some raw and cold food for a long time, and now they are in urgent need of treatment. However, if we can't go back here, there will be no cure for our children's illness. What can I do? ”
Emperor Sui laughed again, and he said, "Nuwa Niangniang, don't worry. There is no endless road, and everything will be fine. The Emperor and Niangniang, I tell you, you two are in a real dream at this time. It may seem ethereal, but you are real. It's like looking at yourself at the shadow of the water, the shadow in the water doesn't look real, but the person who looks at the shadow is real. ”
The Emperor thought of the children, and he was also a little anxious. Then he said: "Suihuang, so what? What does this mean? ”
Emperor Sui said seriously: "Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa Niangniang, in fact, I still want to tell you that since you are a real existence, it is not difficult to go back to the real one." Now go to sleep as you came, and perhaps, when you both wake up, you will see the person you want to see. ”
