Chapter 1026: Third Guardian Beast
"Pixiu?" The fish was dumbfounded.
It's just nonsense, Xu Shu actually talks about it?
If he didn't know Xu Shu as a person, he might have thought that the other party was joking. But Yu Buzhi is really familiar with this confidant, Xu Shu has a free and unrestrained temperament, and can get along with anyone, but Xu Shu is very measured, and he will never be a demon in this kind of thing.
"It's like an iron-eating beast, right? It is the same as described by the ancestors of the clan. Dujie still insisted on his opinion, but his tone was not so sure, obviously Xu Shu's words made him waver, and he seemed to lack confidence. Dujie began to deal with Xu Shu very early, and his trust in Xu Shu has long exceeded his reliance on experience.
"It's obviously a white ......," the old man who was fighting against Dujie also muttered.
"What the two of them said is actually right," Xu Shu laughed and explained: "Pixiu is an ancient Rui beast, which rarely appears in front of people, and the descriptions and legends about it mostly appear in the classics of the gods and monsters, which are difficult to verify and rarely compared. In addition, most of the ancient books are single works, and it is difficult for authors to communicate with each other in a timely manner, so it is common for the same thing to have different names in different works......
But even so, due to the different personal understanding of the content of the classics, the final results are often strange. Ancient beasts are hard to find, and the examiners all believe in their own conclusions, and they are unwilling to compromise, and the contradictions are difficult to reconcile, and finally go their own way. The longer it is circulated, the more difficult it is to heal the differences......"
"Let's take it as an example," Xu Shu pointed to the panda, "Bai Zhen is the name in the "Mao Poems" (that is, the Book of Songs); It is called Pi in the Book of Books; The iron-eating beast is said to be because it has sharp teeth and loves to eat copper and iron, and often eats the iron farming tools in the people's homes; In addition, some people call it Tianlu, evil spirit, Baijie and other names...... Now that it has so many names, it's hard to predict what will happen in the future. ”
"Actually, there is no consensus on whether the white creature, the iron-eating beast and the pixiu refer to the same species. In the following tends to think that it is the same species, a family's words, you refer to it. Xu Shu finally said with a wry smile, this thing is not clear, Xu Shu specially explained, so as not to mislead others.
People's perception of pandas is all based on the old legends, involving ancient beasts, rumors are often very mysterious, but Xu Shu's justified rhetoric is more convincing. Everyone listened to it with relish, and they were fascinated, and Mr. Xu, who was as knowledgeable as the sea, thought that their reaction was as it should be, and they quickly digested and absorbed Xu Shu's rhetoric, and they naturally bragged to others in the future.
Controversy? Inexistent!
However, there were still people in the field who raised questions: "There are many ornaments and talismans, and the appearance is different." ”
Actually dared to question Xu Shu's remarks, Du Jie was about to refute, turned his head and saw that the speaker was actually Huang Zhong, and immediately turned his head back as if nothing happened. Huang Zhong is not only a king-level general, but also has rich life experience, although he has not been in the Zhulu Leader for a long time, he is known for his steady behavior. In fact, Dujie has never seen the Pixiu Talisman, and people don't need that thing when they go to war, but Huang Zhong is a military general, and he has seen a lot of Talismans, and Huang Zhong dares to say that Pixiu's appearance is different from that of a panda, and it will not be nonsense.
"What General Hansheng said is very true, it is indeed very different from the image of Pixiu on the soldier talisman......" Xu Shu admitted this happily, but looking at the expression on his face, there should be a turning point next, "But, who said that the image of Pixiu comes from an adult beast?" I saw in an ancient book that the image of Pixiu in the ornaments and talismans was actually taken from the Pixiu cub ......"
When Xu Shu was talking, Yu Buzhi had already clicked on the webpage.
The search results are basically the same as what Xu Shu said.
Xu Shu was a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and due to the limitations of the times, the information he could access was quite limited, and there were many research discussions on pandas in later generations, and they were more convincing.
The Jin Dynasty recorded in the book "Erya Shi Beast": "The panda is like a bear, with a small head, black and white barge, and can lick and eat copper, iron and bamboo bones." In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shizhen's "Longshu Aftermath" recorded: "Pixiu produces Emei, from the veneer hall above, among the trees. Shaped dog, yellow and white, Pang fat and sluggish. Don't be surprised when you see people, and the dogs often insult them. Its voice is like chanting Buddha, not a beast. "Born in Sichuan, the yellow and white animal that is slow to react and lives in the alpine forests is not the panda?
In addition, the myth "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that there is an animal that resembles a bear, with black and white fur, produced in Yandao County, Qionglai Mountain (now Yingjing County, Sichuan), "sexually eating copper and iron", so it is called an iron-eating beast, which is very similar to the Pixiu that likes to eat and does not vomit. There is a record in the "Divine Sutra" that says: "There are beasts in the south, the size and shape of the horns and feet are like buffaloes, the fur is as black as lacquer, it eats iron and drinks water, its dung can be used as a weapon, its profit is like rigid, and it is called iron." "And the most exaggerated legend about the panda, probably dating back to the ancient period of Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor's battle of Hanquan, it is said that the panda is Chiyou's mount, considering that the panda has lived on the earth for at least 8 million years, this cargo to participate in the ancient Yanhuang War, it seems to be very logical.
The brain made up the scene of Chiyou riding a giant panda to fight the Yellow Emperor, and the fish was unwise and didn't know what to say......
Yu Buzhi also specially found a picture of a panda cub, compared with the picture of Pixiu, the newborn panda cub is strikingly similar to the image of Pixiu on the soldier charm (interested book friends can compare it with Baidu, it's really like)!
Yu Buzhi was deeply ashamed.
I really didn't know that the panda who is proficient in cute art has such a connotation!
It's just an iron-eating beast, and it doesn't matter if you've ever been a Chiyou mount, what matters is whether it's or Pixiu. Pixiu can be a famous beast in ancient Chinese books and folklore, from ancient times to the present, up to the emperor, down to the people are extremely concerned about collecting and wearing Pixiu, legend Pixiu in addition to the effect of good luck and evil spirits, there are also the functions of the town house, turning Tai Sui, promoting marriage, etc., in ancient times, it was often used as a military title, with rich meanings.
The fish is not wise and immersed in joy.
"Card to me." Yu Buzhi patted Tom on the head.
Tom pawed his paw to his belly, and a blank guardian beast card appeared out of thin air.
Pick up the card.
Click.
Use.
A cloud of Guanghua surrounded the panda, and the Guanghua circulated faster and faster, and finally all of them were submerged in the panda's body.
"Ding Dong: Pixiu has become the third guardian beast of the deer collar, and its natural abilities 'good luck', 'evil spirit', and 'fortune' are opened, congratulations to the unwise players."
The panda is Pixiu, at least that's what Futu thinks!
Pixiu: The beast of Jirui that turned disaster into auspiciousness, is now in the mature stage. Innate abilities: good luck, ward off evil spirits, and attract wealth.
Good luck: The faction to which it belongs has good luck.
Ward off evil spirits: avoid evil and drive away evil.
Fortune: Pixiu swallows everything without pouring out, and the income of the subordinate force increases by 20%.
As a legendary and famous beast, it is not surprising that Pixiu has the talent of good luck and warding off evil spirits. The Fortune talent cannot be quantified, making it difficult to assess its impact on the territory; The talent of warding off evil spirits is useless to the deer leader, the territory where the two shadow beasts are seated, what evil people dare to come?
The talent for fortune really moved Yu Buzhi to tears. Pixiu also has a legend to draw wealth: legend has it that Pixiu violated the rules of heaven, and the Jade Emperor punished it for only feeding on wealth from all directions.
With a 20% increase in income, the incremental income will be astronomical at the level of income that you are leading by!
has been trapped by money for many years, but I am looking forward to a savior!
It is worthy of being a national treasure and a mascot!
"From now on, you'll be called rolling." The fish said to the panda with satisfaction.
