Chapter 139: Image

As the candle dragon's voice fell, everyone present was dumbfounded, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

There is no doubt that as long as the name Chiyou is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind in the world must be the story of his struggle with the Yellow Emperor for the world but finally defeated.

However, although Chiyou was ultimately defeated by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, it was in this war that was related to the direction of Chinese civilization that Chiyou left a deep impression on later generations.

After his death, although the people of the Jiuli tribe fell apart and began to flee, but at the same time, his heroic deeds spread all over the land of China.

But there is no doubt that although Chiyou was respected as the master of war and the god of war by later generations, in the eyes of the public, Chiyou has always been a brutal and unkind, warlike and murderous image, except for war, it seems that he has not made much contribution.

In this case, then in the words of the candle dragon just now, why did we hear a Chiyou that was obviously inconsistent with the legend?

If someone else says it, we may think that this person is a man who is a man of false faith and hearsay, but if these words are spoken in the mouth of the candle dragon, then we must weigh the weight of it.

From the respect in the tone of the candle dragon when he mentioned Dayu, it is not difficult for us to see that the candle dragon's respect for Dayu comes from the heart, and there is no falsehood in it.

And as mentioned just now, in the battle of Zhuolu, Chiyou is Xuanyuan's biggest enemy, since Xuanyuan inherited Dayu's teachings, then Chiyou, who is against Xuanyuan, is undoubtedly Dayu's enemy.

Because of this, for the candle dragon that Dayu respects very much, it stands to reason that there should not be any good feelings for Chiyou.

But now it's the opposite, as we have seen, when Candle Dragon mentioned Chiyou, although he was not as respectful as when he mentioned Dayu, there was also a faint awe in his tone.

There is no doubt that for Candle Dragon, since Chiyou is Dayu's enemy, he should also be his enemy.

At the same time, the unfeigned awe in the candle dragon's tone was also imprinted in the minds of each of us.

Obviously, if a person can make his enemies feel awe-inspiring, then he will not be a simple being.

And Chiyou is undoubtedly such an existence.

If even the Candle Dragon cultivated into such an amazingly powerful existence, and would reveal that trace of awe when mentioning Chi You, then it would prove that the story we know is definitely not the truth of the matter, otherwise with Candle Dragon's temper, he would definitely not have such a reaction to Chi You.

"I asked you just now, do you really know anything about Chiyou, what I just said is true, not only that, in addition to agriculture, Chiyou also has other achievements, and his contribution to the human race is far greater than you think."

As if sensing the confusion and confusion revealed in our expressions, the candle dragon smiled with a complicated expression, and his tone was still so serious.

"As the so-called state has national laws, families have family rules, there are no rules, there is no circle, good deeds should be praised, bad deeds must be punished, and for a tribe, the so-called rules refer to punishment."

"Actually, if you have carefully read the Book of Mountains and Seas, you should have found that it is clearly recorded in the book that Chiyou was the first person to create punishment and strictly enforce it, so in that era, Chiyou was also known as the god of punishment."

"Later, when Chiyou was defeated in the battle of Zhuolu, the punishment was imitated by Xuanyuan, if you look at it from this point of view, Xuanyuan is actually just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and Chiyou is the real pioneer of punishment."

It seems that he doesn't want us to waste too much time, so the candle dragon didn't stop talking after this paragraph, but directly told us another contribution of Chiyou.

"The third major contribution made by Chiyou is the smelting of metals, in ancient times, Chiyou was the first person to invent the art of smelting, and he used this technique to create sufficient weapons for his troops, so that the Jiuli people can conquer the world more smoothly."

"By the time of the battle of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan began to lose to Chiyou, the first is because Chiyou and his eighty-one brothers are extremely brave and unstoppable, and the second is precisely because Chiyou's army has a large number of weapons, because there is no armor at that time, so the sharpness of these weapons is far beyond what people can resist."

As he spoke, the candle dragon turned around and looked at us with his still closed eyes, his tone full of seriousness.

"As we all know, the invention of smelting has great significance, this invention marks mankind from the Stone Age into the metal age, stepping into a new chapter, in this case, then as the inventor of the art of smelting, the meaning of Chiyou does not need to be said too much."

"Throughout Chiyou's life, he developed agriculture, smelted copper and iron, and took charge of punishment, not only made great contributions to the development of the human race, but also took the lead in the war and moved forward bravely, because of this, the Jiuli people have always worshiped Chiyou as their ancestor for thousands of years, and regarded him as the ancestor of mankind like Xuanyuan."

"In addition, Chi You actually has a lot of contributions to the human race, he invented pottery, created a city-state, and recovered Dongyi, although for some reason, there is no corresponding record of this in the history books you have read, but in any case it cannot erase his contribution to the human race."

After saying so much in one breath, the candle dragon fell silent again, and once again he gave us plenty of time to digest what he had just said.

As the so-called flaws are not concealed, if according to what Candle Dragon said just now, then although Chi You was defeated in the hands of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu, but only by virtue of the major contributions he made to the human race, then he should not be the image of the evil god like a demon in the cognition of future generations.

But if this is the case, then why are there diametrically opposed accounts of this in all the history books we read?

Does this mean that someone has deliberately distorted Chiyou's image?

If there really is such a person, then this person's existence must be extremely long, he not only wiped out Chiyou's contribution to the human race, but even left Chiyou's image like an evil god for future generations.

So who could this person be?

What is the ultimate purpose of his painstaking efforts to smear the true image of Chiyou to future generations?
