The huge heartbeat beat was beating like a drum, Dongfang Ziyan's heart was very chaotic, he felt that he was frowning, he slowly opened his eyes, saw the dark blue vision, he spit out a series of bubbles, and then choked on a mouthful of cold water into his throat!

He couldn't breathe, suffocating like a drowning! "This is the shawl you used to wear when you visited, so please change it." The waiter put his cloak on both hands.

"You have a pretty good memory." Lingxu took the cloak and draped it on his body, without any expression on his face, and walked straight in. The places where the Chiyou tribe was active left records of settlements (the so-called "cities" in later generations), tombs, shrines and other relics, and tracing these ruins can show the areas of activity of the Chiyou tribe to reveal the clues of their relics.

Chiyou records about Chiyou City, there is Chiyou City six miles southeast of Zhuolu City. The spring water is deep but does not flow, and the rain flows sideways into the spring of Han". "Hanquan is also a place name. The spring water flows northeast, and meets with Chiyou Spring, and the water comes out of Chiyou City, and there is no east side of the city." Therefore, Zhuolu is in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province. Zhuoshui to be examined. Chiyou Spring is in present-day Zhuolu County.

In ancient times, the chief of the Jiuli tribe, the god of martial arts in Chinese mythology. He once fought with Emperor Yan and defeated Emperor Yan, so Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang joined forces to fight Chiyou. Chi You led eighty-one brothers to raise troops to fight the Yellow Emperor for the world, and launched a fierce battle in Zhuolu. Legend has it that Chiyou has eight legs, three heads and six arms, a copper head and an iron forehead, and is invulnerable. He is good at using knives, axes, and ge, and is extremely brave and brave. The Yellow Emperor is invincible, so please ask the gods to help him break it. The sky was dark, and the blood flowed like a river. Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor, and the emperor beheaded his head and buried it, and the head turned into a blood maple forest. Later, the Yellow Emperor was especially the "master of soldiers", that is, the god of war. His brave image is still feared, and the Yellow Emperor painted his image on the military flag to encourage his army to fight bravely.

Izanaki and Izanami were married like Adam and Eve. They gave birth to various gods such as the god of the sea, the god of the river, the god of the mountain, the god of rain, the god of the wind, and the god of the field. However, when the god of fire was finally born, Izanami was burned to death by the fire of her child, and her life took the path of the Yellow Spring, never to return. These are the world's earliest living and earliest dead.

Izanagi went to the country of Yellow Springs to bring Izanami back. However, he could not bring back Izanami, who had already died. Due to some unexpected circumstances (see Baidu Encyclopedia for details: Izanagi, Izanami's Death Section), the two who were originally husband and wife separated the Yellow Spring Beamang. Izanami said that she kills 1,000 people a day in order to achieve psychological balance. Izanagi said that in this case, he would give birth to 1,500 people a day in order to ensure the survival and development of mankind. So, from then on, the population of Japan began to increase.

Izanaki, who returned from the Yellow Springs Kingdom, gave birth to Amaterasu Okami with his left eye, Tsukiyomi with his right eye, and then, with his nose, Susanoo.

banish

Although Susanoo is a god who guards the sea, he cries all day long. Angry, Izanagi drove him out of the sea. So, Susanoo, who likes to be with people, went to visit his sister Amaterasu who lived in Takamagahara. But as he walked, the mountains and the earth shook, which alarmed Amaterasu. She thought he was going to invade Takamagahara and was fully armed and ready to fight. After Suzhan Wuzun arrived, he explained his intentions, and Amaterasu was still a little suspicious, so the two took the birth of a child as evidence, and the sister and brother combined, giving birth to the three goddesses of Tian Xinji (called Duoji Ji Ming in "Kojiki"), Tuitsu Ji (called Ichichi Hatohime in "Kojiki") and Ichikishima Ji (called Taki Du Ji in Kojiki) and the five male gods of Heavenly Ninja Ho Ear Life, Heavenly Bodhisattva Ability, Tianjin Day Root Life, Living Tsu Day Root Life, and Kumano Susan Camphor Day Life.

Susa settled in Takamagahara in this way, but he made the fields that he had managed to reclaim desolate and threw his horses into the spinning hut, making a mess of everything. The people of Takamagahara felt that there was nothing they could do about his brutal atrocities, and they were extremely troubled.

At first, the sun god was able to accommodate Susanoo in a relaxed mood. However, Susanoo is too headstrong and unreasonable. Amaterasu, who was seriously hurt by his heart, was furious and hid in anger to the Tenshiya (also known as Teniwato, which is equivalent to the Nantianmen in Chinese mythology). I can't get out. As a result, Takamagahara became pitch black, and the earth was devoid of sunlight. This can be said to be the solar eclipse phenomenon we are currently seeing.

In any case, it is necessary to restore the original light of Takamagahara. For this reason, a large singing and dancing party is held in front of the cave, singing and drinking, and it is very lively, with the purpose of secretly finding out the mind of Amaterasu. Amaterasu saw that the cave was so lively, and his mood seemed to improve. As she quietly peered out through the cracks in the cave, the mighty gods violently opened the cave. At this time, in front of the cave, the Tiandian Girl Dance was danced. It is said that this was the beginning of the history of Kagura in Japan.

As a result, Takamagahara and the earth returned to their former light, and Susanoo was finally expelled from Takamagahara.

Subdue the Great Serpent

Susanoo, who was driven out of Takamagahara, landed on Funadoriyama called Izumo called Torifa.

One day, he noticed a pair of chopsticks floating down the river. "Ah, there's someone upstream!" , so Susanoo went upstream. There, he saw an old couple called Foot Milk and Te Milk crying around a beautiful girl named Ki Inada Hime.

After asking carefully, I found out that these two old men have 8 girls, but one person is eaten by the big snake every year, and at present, it is the turn of the last girl, so the old couple and the little girl are so anxious that they can't stop crying.

The Great Snake is a demon with eyes like red lanterns, eight heads and eight tails, and a body length of more than eight valleys. Susanoo's heart was touched by the beauty of Miss Ki Rice Field. After receiving the promise of marrying the girl, Susanoo is determined to subdue the Great Snake and eliminate the harm of the people.

Susanoo turned Ki Inada-hime into a comb and stuck it on his head. He asked two old men, the foot and the hand, to make eight gates out of a fence, and to place eight barrels of liquor in front of the gates.

After a while, the eight-fold snake came. When he had drunk all the fragrant wine, he lay drunk on the ground. Susanoo took the opportunity to hold the "Ten Fists Sword" and wanted to kill the Yaki Orochi, but when he cut the tail of the dead Yaqi Orochi, the blade of the Ten Fists Sword knocked out a gap, and he cut the tail one by one to see Susanoo only to find that it contained a hard and sharp sword, and this sword was the "Heavenly Cloud Sword."

The sword made by Susanoo is called the Sword of the Celestial Clouds, and it is a sword that he has never seen before. This sword, instead of holding it himself, is better to give it to Anameasu, who has been missing for a long time, so he dedicated the Tiancong Cloud Sword to Amaterasu.

This sword, known as the Kusanagi Sword (薙: ti) by Amaterasu, is still one of the three legendary magic weapons to this day.

Susanoo, who subdued the Great Snake, married Ki Inadahime, who changed back from a comb. Since then, he has settled in Izumo Province and has given birth to the god Hachishima Shinomi.

Later, he married the god of Daichi Himesheng and the god of the soul of Yuga.

In Chinese history, ancient books since the Spring and Autumn Period have a rich record of the legend of Chiyou, but there are often contradictions. According to these records, Chiyou was the leader of the Jiuli tribe in ancient times. Scholars speculate that Chiyou belongs to the Taihao and Shaohao clan groups according to the "Book of Yi Zhou" and "Treatise on Salt and Iron". Chiyou has eighty-one brothers (probably eighty-one tribes, one says seventy-two), brave and good at fighting, and powerful.

The most mentioned Chi You in ancient books is the fierce battle with the tribal alliance led by the Yellow Emperor, and there are three specific theories. The first theory is found in the "Historical Records: Five Emperors Benji", that is, after the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan in the Battle of Hanquan, Chiyou rebelled, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou in the Battle of Zhuolu, thus consolidating the position of the Son of Heaven;

The second theory is found in the "Yi Zhou Shu Taste Wheat Chapter", that is, Chiyou expelled the Red Emperor (Yan Emperor), the Red Emperor appealed to the Yellow Emperor, and the two emperors joined forces to kill Chi You in Zhongji;

The third is said to be found in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the North Classic", that is, Chi You made troops to attack the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor ordered Ying Long to fight, and the two sides fought in the field of Jizhou, and Chi You was defeated and killed!

Although there are slight differences in the various theories, there is no doubt that Chi You and the Yellow Emperor were at war. The course of the war was more tortuous and mythical. Chi You is good at fighting, "the weapon of the five soldiers, changing the clouds and mist", "making a big fog, covering three days", the Yellow Emperor "nine battles and nine invincible", "three years of the city is not down". "Fish Dragon River Map" contains the Yellow Emperor's "defeat" Chi You, "it is to look up to the sky and sigh, and God sent Xuannu to grant the Yellow Emperor soldiers to believe in the runes", that is, relying on the power of the goddess "Xuannu" to win. It is said that the Yellow Emperor used the guide made by the queen of the wind to identify the direction in the fog and win!

The ending of Chi You, the legend is mostly said that the army was defeated and killed, or surrendered to the Yellow Emperor, and dominated the military!

Later, the world was chaotic, the Yellow Emperor painted the image of Chi You, deterring the world, the world thought that Chi You was immortal, and lived in the shogunate of the Yellow Emperor, so "all the eight countries are subdued"!

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's battle against Chi You is an extremely important event in the era of Chinese legends. After the victory of the Yellow Emperor, he unified the Central Plains region and became the orthodoxy of China. Therefore, Chinese historical books, especially Confucian classics, which have long been in the mainstream, have many bad comments about Chi You, although they may not be fair. Later, Chiyou gradually deified and became an image with "copper head and iron forehead", "eight humerus and eight toes", "human body and cow hooves, four eyes and six hands" and "sand and gravel"! Erbuda was the mother of the grain goddess Gild and the wife of the giant Jimir. Giantess, the lover of Loki, the god of fire. With Loki, he gave birth to Fenrir the wolf and the Midgard python, Graver Venier. Orbuda spies for her lover Loki, and the Asir tribe wants to execute her, triggering a war between the two tribes.

The daughter of the giant Su Dong. The giants stole the ale brewed by the wine elves Fieira and Giera. The main god Odin served for a year in Sudong Garden in order to ask for ale, but was refused. Later, Odin seduced Sudong's daughter Gonglu, and with the help of Gonglu, he stole back the ale and returned to Asgard. Odin fled from Sudong Garden and abandoned Gonglu, who was sad all day long.

Norse mythology is a long-forgotten myth that has been abandoned for centuries by descendants of the ancient Norsemen.

The descendants of the heroes of Norse mythology, the Germanic peoples of present-day Scandinavia and the northeastern German lowlands. They grew up in a desolate and harsh natural environment, and developed a brave and fierce personality.

Wandering, fighting, and hunting were their daily way of life, and they often went on expeditions to other lands under the leadership of bold and enterprising leaders, and won status and wealth from foreign lands that were not available at home.

The culture of these victorious countries was not necessarily superior to that of the conquered countries, and their weapons and equipment were not necessarily superior to those of the other side. But they possessed a fearless adventurous spirit and the courage to face death, which was an important reason why the Germanic peoples were able to invade the whole of Europe.

These Germanic warriors, who were not afraid of death, gradually expanded the scope of the expedition. In 400 AD, they were bounded by the Rhine and Danube rivers and bordered by the Roman Empire. As Rome declined, they continued to encroach on the territory of the Roman Empire.

By the middle of the fifth century, the Germanic peoples were oppressed by the Fen (i.e., the Northern Xiongnu who were defeated by the Han Empire and moved westward) from the east and west and north, thus causing a raging migration of peoples. This was what the Germanic people called the Heroic Age, and most of the heroes in Norse legends were heroes of this era.

As a result of this great migration, as far east as Russia, as far west as the coast of France and the island of Briden, as far south as Spain, the Italian peninsula, Sicily, and North Africa, they were invaded by Germanic peoples, and even as far away as Greenland and part of the American continent.

Norse mythology is a product of this people. But the record of mythology no longer exists in today's Germanic states. Instead, it has been preserved on Iceland, an isolated island in the North Sea full of volcanoes and glaciers.

The most important reason for the complete oblivion of the Germanic gods was the contact with the Roman Empire and the assimilation of Christianity through that contact. Coupled with natural disasters*, especially the "Thirty Years' War" of 1618-1648 AD, the inherent Germanic culture was mutilated and desolated, and the precious literature and legends fell into the abyss of oblivion and dusted in the long years.

At that time, only the Christian clergy were literate, and they were in charge of the records and kept the documents, and they naturally hated pagan legends, manuscripts, songs, etc., and cleaned them up; Only a few data have survived: the British Beowulf, the German Nibelungenlied, and the saga (heroic legends), as well as two collections of Icelandic mythological poems, the Edda.

In addition, the Germanic peoples believed that the original ancient script, Runenschrift (cognate with the mythical spell runes of the dark gnomes), was a spell with magical powers, and if the language was shaped into words, it was equivalent to conferring mysterious powers on the enemy. Therefore, it is difficult to verify not only the beliefs of the ancient Germanic people, but also the way of life today.

Genesis

Originally, there were only two regions of the world, one cold and one hot. Between these two areas there is a large crack that is wide and deep, called the "Jinonga Rift". When heat and cold meet, when fire and ice collide, smoke and water vapor rise, and a giant Ymir is born, followed by a heifer who feeds the giant, Andhu Mala. The cow's breath was scented, and the bitter milk dripped from the four*, and the giant sucked the cow's bitter milk to sustain life. After sucking the milk and filling his stomach, Ymir was attacked by the unbearable drowsiness and lay on the ice, sinking into a dreamless sleep.

In his slumber, sweat dripped from his left armpit, a man and a woman (Mimir and Bestla, the giantess of wisdom), and from the feet of Ymir a deformed giant with six heads, Thrudgelmir, from which the Frost Giants multiplied. Cows, on the other hand, survive by licking salt and hoarfrost from the ice.

One day, while it was licking the salt cube, it suddenly revealed its long shiny hair from the salt lump, and the long hair was set off by the flame of the Fire Country, making it look glorious and moving. The next day, a beautiful male head is revealed. On the third day, a majestic body also emerged from the mass of salt, which was the god called Bri, the ancestor of the gods.

Ymir fights Brie, and so a fierce battle between the Giants and the Protoss begins. In the end, Brie received a fatal blow from Ymir and fell to his death on the ice field, and the giant was victorious.

But at this time, Brie's son Bull married the giantess Bestra and had three sons, Odin, Willy, and Vi. The three gods continued to fight the giants in revenge for their grandfather's murder.

So after a fierce battle that shook the universe, he finally killed the giant Ymir, Odin pierced Ymir's chest with a spear, and the blood gushed out into a sea of blood, and the giants drowned in the sea of blood.

Only one man and a woman, Bergelmir, the son of the six-headed giant Thrudgelmir, and his wife, swam across the sea of blood and fled to the other side of the world, where they founded Jotunheim, the "land of giants", where they bred many frost giants and vowed to be enemies of the gods forever.

Then Odin began to create the world, first he put Ymir's body in the center of the "abyss", and created the earth with Imir's flesh, blood into endless oceans, bones into mountains, and countless hairs into trees.

Odin chiseled the giant's skull into the firmament, and made clouds out of his brain, and piled up graupel and snow in it. The giant's corpse soon grew maggots, these maggots attracted the attention of the gods, and after a fierce battle that shook the universe, it was not easy to kill the giant Ymir, Odin pierced Ymir's chest with a spear, and the blood gushed out into a sea of blood, and the giants drowned in the sea of blood.

Only one man and a woman, Bergelmir, the son of the six-headed giant Thrudgelmir, and his wife, swam across the sea of blood and fled to the other side of the world, where they founded Jotunheim, the "land of giants", where they bred many frost giants and vowed to be enemies of the gods forever.

Then Odin began to create the world, first he put Ymir's body in the center of the "abyss", and created the earth with Imir's flesh, blood into endless oceans, bones into mountains, and countless hairs into trees.

Odin chiseled the giant's skull into the firmament, and made clouds out of his brain, and piled up graupel and snow in it. The giant's corpse soon sprouted maggots, which attracted the attention of the gods and gave them human form.

Since the firmament needs to be supported by strong support, the gods are supported by four dark elves (gnomes) with strange powers from these new creatures, and their names are Nordri, Sudri, Austri, and Westri, so they are called the four directions of their separation - North, South, East, and West.

The gods continue to use the giant's eyebrows as a wall, and the space inside is called the "Atrium", which lies halfway between the "Land of the Dead" and the "Land of Fire".

The gods then took Mars from the "Land of Fire" and placed it in the sky, creating the sun, moon, and stars. The sun and moon were placed on the chariot, and the gods chose a man (moon) and a woman (sol) of the giants to drive it.

In addition, he ordered a giantess "Night" Nott to ride a black horse to gallop through the sky, and every morning was replaced by her son "Day" Dag riding a bare horse, so that there was an alternation of "night" and "day".

Behind the sun and moon are chased by fearsome wolves, sometimes bitten to form "solar eclipses" and "lunar eclipses". The wolves are always reluctant to chase, and one day they will finally devour the sun and the moon, and that is the end of the world.

After the creation was completed, Odin and his brother wandered around the shore, admiring their achievements. They stumbled upon two branches washed ashore by the waves, so they used the ash branches to create a man and an elm branch to create a woman.

Although the first human ancestors appeared, they still lacked a little spirituality, so Odin gave life and soul to humans, Willy gave them reason and movement, and Wei gave them feelings, appearances and language.

So the man and woman, who were originally branches, became creatures of love, hope, life, and death, and they took all kinds of people who lived in the "atrium" and multiplied with the gods and became the ancestors of mankind.

Elves and gnomes

These two races are described in the book of Sybil's prophecy:

"Long before the gods thought of creating the world from Ymir's corpse, many maggots were born from Imir's rotting body*. These maggots grabbed the essence of the Giant's ancestor, and they were all spiritual creatures. Under the judgment of gods such as Odin, they all had human-like bodies and intelligence. Maggots that grow from the lighted side of the corpse become elves or lightelfs, and those born from the backlit side of the corpse become dark elves, and they are commonly referred to as gnomes. Hold up the sky

and give them human form.

Since the firmament needs to be supported by strong support, the gods are supported by four dark elves (gnomes) with strange powers from these new creatures, and their names are Nordri, Sudri, Austri, and Westri, so they are called the four directions of their separation - North, South, East, and West.
