Chapter 266: The Truth Behind Myths and Legends
After watching the scene just now, Ye Fan had already come up with a surprising inference that countless scientists would think he was a fool.
The Yi in the cross shoots nine days, and the shot is not the sun at all!
In many Rao's cognitions, it has always been thought that it was Hou Yi who shot down the nine suns, but in fact, it was not Hou Yi who really shot the sun, but Yi.
As Ye Fan, who used to be a liberal arts student, he knew that there were actually two people all the time, one paddle Yi", and the other oar Houyi".
And Hou Yi is a monarch of the Xia Dynasty, because the word "Hou" is the most honorable title of the Xia Dynasty, so later generations are honored to call him "Hou Yi", and finally became a king for eight years, was killed by his retainers, and has nothing to do with shooting the sun.
And "Yi" is another person, "Yi" is a mythical figure in the period of the Five Emperors, and his wife is Chang'e, and the similarities between "Yi" and "Houyi" are both good at archery, so they are often mistaken.
Whether it is from "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi", and "Chu Ci", there are records about the nine days of Yi She.
According to the information Ye Fan had read before, the ancients believed that in the area of Ganshui, there was a country called Xihe.
A woman named Xihe, the wife of the Emperor Jun Immortal, gave birth to ten suns, and she was bathing the sons of the sun in the abyss every day.
And where the sun rises, there is a hibiscus tree, where the ten sons of the sun hang every day, taking turns to work.
Emperor Jun Immortal gave Yi a weapon "Red Bow Su" and asked him to use this weapon to help countries in need, while Yi obeyed orders and began to experience the hardships of the surface world.
During the reign of Yao, the ten sons of the sun, not knowing whether they were greedy for fun or deliberately violating the law, appeared together to shine on it, and the bursting sunlight scorched the grass and crops.
People had nothing to eat, and there were many fierce birds and beasts that harmed the people, which made people's lives very miserable at that time.
In order to save the people from fire and water, Yao found the hero, Yi, and asked him to get rid of these disasters.
Yi was very brave, not only got rid of all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts, but also used Di Jun to give him a divine bow, and directly shot nine of his ten sun sons to death.
After the disaster was eliminated, the people were very happy, supported Yao as a son, and Yao's prestige reached its peak.
These are the legends of the "Nine Days of Yi Shooting" that have been circulating in folk myths and stories.
However, from the scene of Fang Cai, combined with mythological stories, everything is suddenly clear.
The "nine days" in the Nine Days of Yi Shooting are nine unidentified luminous objects similar to the sun, which is the same as the "Kuafu Sun" that Ye Fan saw before.
Because even very advanced alien civilizations can hardly destroy nine real stars with individual weapons.
And the appearance of these nine UFOs is like a grand military exercise, but also like a military operation, no matter what it is, it has led to the appearance of the "Nine Days" in Kongzheng at the same time
"Killing plants and trees" is typical of the radiation caused by unidentified flying objects, where they hover, the plants and trees are scorched, and even the soil contains radioactive elements.
The "Fuso Tree" is a base for unidentified flying objects, and if analyzed from the perspective of modern technology, their vertical take-off and landing flight characteristics make it impossible for the parking lot to adopt a flat approach like the parking ground of human aircraft.
It is more likely to be a way to stretch the three-dimensional space of Ju Yong's unity, compactness, and flexibility, which is just like the one Ye Fan just saw, a large unidentified flying object in the air that looks like a "steel tree".
It was most likely the nine unidentified luminous objects, the large mothership at anchor, or a temporary mooring.
Therefore, the ancient witnesses mistakenly believed that the UFO was the sun, and the base with the vertical and horizontal structure of branches and leaves was a large tree, so there was a legend that the sun inhabited the tree.
And the weapon used by Yi in "Nine Days of Yi Shooting" is a weapon that is completely beyond this era, and it is he who directly destroyed the nine unidentified flying objects that were in flight.
It can be seen how powerful the weapon in Yi's hand is.
Obviously, the mythical "Red Bow Element" is not a bow and arrow, but an advanced weapon with a firing function.
The whole body of this weapon is red, and the color of bullets or lasers fired is red, so eyewitnesses at the time recorded the name "red bow".
Because the productivity of the people at that time was very low, the only weapons they used were stones, sticks, bows and arrows.
So they took it for granted that this kind of weapon was also classified as a type of bow and arrow.
The conjecture of the ancients is really romantic, in fact, it is also a common thinking habit of human beings, that is, "similar associations".
That is, to associate some strange unknown objects with common objects, and then interpret them with the thinking of common objects.
At this time, Ye Fan, after seeing the alternative version of the story of "Nine Days of Yi Shooting", was also full of emotion in his heart.
Is it possible that some so-called myths were used by ancient ancestors to record the major events that happened in ancient times in the form of stories, so that they could be passed on to future generations?
Because myths are collectively created orally by the people, they show the cult of superpowers, struggles, and cultural phenomena in the pursuit of ideals.
So what is the force that can call on the people to collectively create orally?
Because people who have never experienced the charm of money, how can they think of how to worship money?
If you think about it from another angle, it is very likely that the ancient ancestors had witnessed the charm of superpowers and then had a psychology of worshipping them, then many aspects can be explained.
Whether it is "Praise the Father and the Sun" or "Yi Shooting for the Nine Days", the real story behind it, and what kind of story the ancient ancestors wanted to leave for future generations, do we really understand it now?
Just like the movie "Star Trek", when the huge spaceship flew out of the seabed, those primitive people saw this scene with panic and awe.
Those primitive people knelt on the ground and worshipped, thinking that it was the god of the bottom of the sea, but in fact it was just a spaceship that did not exist in their civilization.
As for the legends of ancient times, almost all of them come from mythological stories, and even the history before the Shang Dynasty, which seems to be very vague until now, and there is no historical legacy except mythology.
If the stories hidden behind some myths are really the same as what Ye Fan saw, then what is the real history of our human beings?
