Chapter 340: Ke'er's Master and Apprentice Arrive

The rickety old man smiled gloomily, and in an instant, the dark surroundings suddenly rolled black, and the cold black qi merged into the white bone staff in the old man's hand, and the miserable white bone staff suddenly became extremely black, exuding a terrifying aura.

The rickety old man brandished a pitch-black white bone staff and slashed at Chen Feng's head.

"Relying on the old and selling the old, I want to see who kills whom!" A sneer curled into the corner of Chen Feng's mouth, and the black light of the Yanjin Sword flickered, facing the White Bone Staff.

A mediocre sword.

I only heard a crisp sound of 'click', and the white bone staff that exuded a terrible aura shattered inch by inch.

"How is that possible! Military...... Valkyrie? The rickety old man's pupils contracted sharply, his cloudy eyes were full of incredulity, and the next moment, his head was already flying up.

The corpse fell from the sky, the wind disappeared, and the dark sky regained its brightness.

"Valkyrie? I don't know, but it should be much stronger than the peak martial saint! Chen Feng's eyes moved, the sword was sheathed, and it flew in the direction of Tianshui City.

It's been half a year since I saw Rong'er and Xiao Xuanxuan, and Chen Feng really misses it in his heart.

Flying in the direction of Tianshui City, you can see many martial saints along the way, some martial saints ride four-clawed beasts, some ride one-bull beasts, and some ride water tiger beasts.

The Water Tiger Beast is a descendant of the ancient divine beast Tianwu.

Tian Wu is the god of water in ancient myths and legends. It has a human face and a tiger body, which is closely related to the hunting life of the Wu people. The Wu people live by hunting, and "the tiger is the king of a hundred arms", therefore, the Wu people worship a tiger-like animal. This ancient animal may have become scarce and extinct in the pre-Qin period. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: Tianwu, eight songs and eight sides. Tiger body, eight legs and eight tails. It is blue-yellow, spit clouds and mist, and is watery. It is said that Wu is a water god in ancient times, and the previous one is a description of his appearance, a monster-like immortal. The Valley of the Rising Sun, the god said Tianwu, is for the water bo. It is a beast, with eight human faces, eight legs and eight tails. All green and yellow. Eight tails, all green and yellow. "In the movie "Yongle King's Vow", he was a heavenly general, and the two turtles and snakes made trouble, and Zhang Tianshi asked him to surrender to the lower realm. The picture shows Tianwu catching turtles with his left hand and snakes with his right hand. The Wu people belonged to the Yanhuang clan and originally lived in the area of present-day Shanxi and Shaanxi. People have left names, geese have left voices, Wu people have left many place names named after "Wu" or "Yu" in this area, such as Wu Mountain, Yu Mountain, Yu City, etc. About in the world of Yan Huang. With the eastward expansion of the Yandi clan and the Yellow Emperor clan, the Wu people were also forced to move eastward on a large scale, and by the time of Yao Shun, many branches of the Wu people had migrated to the Yangtze River Delta on the southeast coast. Such. The Wu people bid farewell to the dense primeval forests and saber-toothed tigers, and began to conquer the rough sea. The original clan god "Tianwu", who blessed his descendants with many gains when hunting, at this time, of course, has to become a "water pool" to protect the descendants of the Wu people when dealing with the rivers and lakes. It is precisely because of this subtle change that it is precisely because of this subtle change. The brilliant creators of the Chinese script sometimes refer to Wu Yu of the Wu clan. Hook up with the fish. In Jin Wenli, the "Wu" of Wu State. It can be used as "?" Finish. Even Wu Zi is sometimes alive like a fish. It is no wonder that Mr. Wei Juxian, in the "Wu Yue Cultural Treatise", mistakenly interpreted the word "Wu" as the shape of a fish, and regarded the fish as a totem of the Wu people, which is really for a reason. "Tianwu" or "Tianyu" is the "Yu" that can often be seen in the pre-Qin and Qin and Han documents, also called "驺虞". The Classic of Mountains and Seas. "Overseas Eastern Classic" once recorded: Tianwu Yao welcomed Gu Huai as his wife and gave birth to 4 daughters, all of whom broke up. It means that Tian Wu married a woman as his wife and had four daughters, and the characteristics of Tian Wu were equally divided, and this woman had two faces on her head. The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Great Wilderness East Classic says that Tianwu has a female named Chu Wu, and there is a record: Chu Wu hated the flint and destroyed it when he saw it. I don't know the reason for this, but the totem statue of this Zhennanhou is written in the Zhennan Hou Sihuo, so the two can't see each other, this Zhennanhou and this Chu Wu fought for a long time, and finally killed Chu Wu, buried in this crypt, the corpse should be separated, but the location of the corpse is not known where, this buried in the tomb is probably also taken from the meaning of trampling on ten thousand people, indicating that the two gods have a deep-rooted hatred. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The "North Classic of the Sea" records: "There are rare beasts, big as tigers, colorful and colorful, the tail is longer than the body, the name is called Wuwu, and the day is thousands of miles." It can be seen that the ancient Wu people were also named after worshipping an animal called "Yu" or "Su Yu". After this animal was named "Yu" and was revered as a totem and a clan god by the Wu people, it became "Tianwu" - the great and sacred Wu. The original meaning of the word "Wu" indicates that a person shouts loudly while running and looks back, implying the call of a primitive pig hunter. The primitive pictogram of the Wu character: running, turning back, shouting loudly. "Wu" is a huiyi character, which is composed of two components: "arrow" and "mouth". Around the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese characters were standardized. The "arrow" part has begun to be changed to "day". During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a scholar named Wu Ping, who wrote a famous book with Yuan Kang called "The Book of Yue Jue", in which he used the method of splitting characters to implicitly state his name in the last part of the book. The book says: "The text is a resignation, from Bangxian." Bangxian takes the mouth as the surname, and the sky is the sky; Chu Xiang Qu Yuan, with the same name. Today's people with the surname Wu often say that their surname is Wu when they introduce their surname to people they meet for the first time. From the classical linguistics, the original meaning of "Wu" is to shout loudly. So, what does it mean that the ancient ancestors took it as their surname? If we do a deeper dissection and perspective of the Wu character, it will suddenly dawn on us. Judging from the two components of the Wu character, "kou" means shouting, shouting, and "arrow" is like a person running and looking back from time to time. The two components combine to form "Wu", and its original meaning is to represent a person who shouts loudly while running and looks back. This situation is not unfamiliar to us today, and it is even a worldwide theme in primitive frescoes, because it is actually a picture of the hunting life of human childhood. When the hunter finds the big beast, ~ while running, shouting, and looking back from time to time. This kind of shouting action is called Wu, and this kind of person is called Wu people. Primitive humans often wear tiger skins for hunting, which can still be seen from the hunting life and primitive dances of contemporary African primitive tribes, and we have also seen this kind of hunters wearing tiger skins in the scene of Wu Song fighting tigers in "Water Margin". So. In ancient times, the word "Wu" was often added to the head of "虍" to make "Yu". The Wu people are also called Yu people. In pre-Qin literature, there are often Yu people, who refer to officials who are in charge of field hunting. So. Why did the hunter-gatherers, who later called themselves "Wu" (or "Yu"), adopt a picture of their own form of existence as the surname of their own people, a sociological sign of kinship, kinship, and marriage? Let's dig traps, load crossbow arrows, and wait for the arrival of the saber-toothed tiger in the imaginary mountains and forests. And when the ferocious beast appears, run and bark with this tribe, don't you feel the awakening of pure human power and the beautiful feeling of hazy exhilaration? At this point, you will surely decide that as a member of this small world, there is really nothing more exciting than this moment. Thereupon. Choosing "Wu" as the title of his clan is naturally more appropriate. This clan is the Wu Yuyu clan. At this point, we seem to hear the loud cries of primitive hunters, whether it is the joy or horror of the sudden discovery of the great beast, the signal to call to the companions to be ready, or the expectation of frightening the ferocious animals with that deafening sound? In any case, in addition to accidents, the word "Wu" is also a phonetic text. As the totem and ancestral god of the Wu people, the monster of "Tianwu" is closely related to the hunting life of the Wu people. In ancient China, there was a strange book that recorded gods and ghosts, called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Among them, the "Overseas Eastern Classic" records: "The Valley of the Rising Sun, the god called 'Tianwu', is for the water bo." There is also a similar record in the "Great Wilderness East Classic". According to the book, it is a giant monster with eight heads, eight legs, eight tails, a human face, and the body of a tiger. From the illustrations transcribed from the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", we can get a glimpse of its mysterious and strange style.

This half-human, half-beast monster. It is the ancient primitive hunting clan - the totem and ancestor god of the Wu people. "Tian" means "great", and "Tianwu" is the great Wu. "Tianwu" has a human face and a tiger body. This is closely related to the hunting life of the Wu people. The Wu people live by hunting, and "the tiger is the king of a hundred arms". Therefore, the Wu people worship a tiger-like animal. This ancient animal may have become scarce and extinct in the pre-Qin period, and the Wu people took Yu as a totem, and the prototype of "Tianwu" was Yu. In the previous Wu character interpretation, we pointed out that hunters often wore tiger skins as a kind of dance costume to disguise themselves when hunting and to celebrate the movements of animals when harvesting prey. Therefore, like Wu Changjia's "production" as "Yu", "Tianwu" not only resembles a tiger, but its name is also called "Dayu" in the "Nanshan Jing" and "The Great Wilderness West Classic". But "Tianwu" is a human face again. From here, one can see the union of beast and man, and also the transformation from man to god. At the same time, we also got a clear and unmistakable message that "Tian Wu" is also a human being, and it is the ancestral god of the Wu people. Tianwu should also be called an enlightened beast, and the "Clarification of Misunderstandings and the Re-understanding of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" quoted in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the "Three Classics of the West", the "Western Classics of the Seas" and the "Zhuangzi. From these records, it can be seen that the ancients believed that the god in charge of Kunlun was the enlightened beast Lu Wu, that is, the shoulder Wu, a tiger god with nine heads, and this image was very common on the Han portrait stone excavated in the Han tomb, and was regarded as an auspicious beast. The Enlightened Beast is actually the idol of Xia Houqi, the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty. Xia people worship the white tiger, with "Yu" (white tiger) as the totem, they give the most feared a former prince and a former king have been shaped into a tiger-shaped totem statue, a ancestor is Dayu, his totem statue is the "Overseas East Classic" and "Great Wilderness West Classic" in the "Tianwu", "Overseas East Classic" said that its image is "eight human faces, eight feet and eight tails, the back is green and yellow", "Great Wilderness West Classic" said that it is "eight human faces, tiger body ten tails".

However, none of these martial saints could find Chen Feng, even if they passed by the high-level martial saints, these martial saints could not find Chen Feng. The speed was terrifyingly fast, and it was speeding towards Tianshui City.

It didn't take much time for Chen Feng to come to Tianshui City, and his figure flashed, and he had already arrived in Chen's mansion.

"Brother, you're really not dead! Great, yesterday I heard Ziyue's sister-in-law say something about you, I really can't believe it, it's too unbelievable. A crisp and pleasant voice with joy sounded in Chen Feng's ears.

"Haha, Ke'er, you are finally willing to come to the Heavenly Martial Realm." Chen Feng said with a smile. After glancing at it, I was surprised to find that this girl's strength was already at the super supreme level, and she was only one step away from the martial saint.

"People have long thought about whether it is okay to come, but the master has not let me come." Chen Ke'er pouted, looked dissatisfied, and ran over.

"Hehe, when did you come, by the way, what about the crazy senior of the gods, why is he not in the house." Chen Feng asked.

"Master, he went out for something and will be back in a few days." Chen Keer said.

"Brother Feng, you're back."

At this time, Zi Yuerong walked in with Xiao Xuanxuan in her hand, looking at Chen Feng with beautiful eyes that seemed to be happy and disgusted.

"Uncle, you have promised to accompany Miss at home, but this time it has been half a year." The little maid Xiao Xiao said.

"Rong'er, something happened to me on the way." Chen Feng said with a dry smile.

"Are you all right? What about them? Zi Yuerong said.

"Those two little guys are in trouble, and I have locked them in a bag. Well, it's time to let them out. Chen Feng immediately moved his mind, and the purple and blue light flashed, and suddenly the little purple eagle and the little blue bird appeared in the courtyard.

"Wow, smothering birds, smothering birds!" As soon as the stinky fart bird came out, it chirped.

"Hmph, the bad guy brother is so bad, he locked us up for so long!" Little Purple Eagle also shouted.

"You two little guys, you are so noisy, running around, next time you are caught, I don't care." Chen Feng scolded with a smile.

As he was talking in the courtyard, at this time, a maidservant girl in the outer courtyard ran over and said, "Master, madam, the lord of Tianshui City is asking to see you in the living room!" ”

Chen Feng's eyes moved, and he immediately left the inner courtyard and walked towards the living room.

In the living room, Dongfang Peng, the lord of Tianshui City, was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting, and when he saw Chen Feng walking in, he was immediately excited and envious: "Brother Chen, congratulations, congratulations, it's really a great event, quick, follow me back to the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned, his face was stunned, "Uh, Brother Dongfang, what do you mean by this?" What's the situation? (To be continued.) )
