Chapter 178: Xuanniao

After listening to what the candle dragon said, we realized that the truth of the story was actually like this.

It seems that the reason why Bai Jian's reputation in later generations is that he made the same choice as Chiyou, and he finally hid his contribution to the human race like Chiyou, and since then he has been incognito, waiting for the future generations to protect the peace of the human race in another capacity.

If this is the case, then the appreciation revealed in Candle Long's tone when he mentioned Bai Jian just now has an answer.

It is precisely because of Bai Jian's sacrifice for the sake of the human race that the existence of the candle dragon will look at him differently, although he is not as respectful as he treats Dayu, but he also does not have the slightest disdain.

And as long as we can think of this, then we already have a rough guess about the battle of the gods that has been legendary for thousands of years in later generations.

Although we don't know the specific process of this war at present, after listening to the story told by the candle dragon, we still don't know that it is not so much that there was a war for the world in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, but that someone used the excuse of fighting for the world to choose a new guardian god for the human race.

And Bai Jian, whom Candle Dragon specifically mentioned just now, is the leader of these new gods, that is, the legendary leader of the Three Realms, the Eight Divisions and Three Hundred and Sixty-five Road Qingfu Zhengshen!

"Senior, I think we know enough about Bai Jian's story."

After thinking of this, I sorted out all the stories I knew so far in my mind, and after confirming that there were no omissions, I looked at the candle dragon and asked seriously.

"But despite this, I still don't know what your purpose is in telling us these stories, whether you want to tell us the secrets of the past, or what do you want to tell us to do with these stories?"

In response to my inquiry, the candle dragon expressed himself very calmly, as if these things were insignificant.

"Since you have embarked on this road, there are always some things that you must know sooner or later, and now that you have the opportunity, it is better to inform you as soon as possible, so as not to know what to do in the future."

As he spoke, Candle Dragon's words changed, and his tone suddenly changed from calm to serious, making our expressions also become serious.

"So, you don't have to pay too much attention to what happened just now, as long as you know the truth in your heart, what I'm going to say next is the really important part of this story."

"After the Xia Dynasty, the spiritual energy of Shenzhou was exhausted and entered the era of the end of the law, and the leader of the human race changed from a high-ranking immortal to the human race itself.

"And this waited until the end of the Shang Dynasty."

For the Shang Dynasty, we naturally will not feel unfamiliar.

The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty recognized in the history of Shenzhou, while the Shang Dynasty was the second dynasty recognized in the history of Shenzhou, and it was also the first dynasty in Shenzhou to have direct contemporaneous written records.

According to records, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty was named Xia Wei, and it was rumored that he was ruthless, and even able to fight jackals and chase four horses, because the relationship between the Xia Dynasty and the Fang tribe had broken down at that time, so Xia Wei often sent troops to crusade against those disobedient tribes.

And it is precisely because of Xia Wei's repeated conquests, so it angered many authoritative tribes, taking this opportunity, a tribe called Shang slowly developed, in Xia Wei indulged in pleasures, regardless of the suffering of the people, this tribe has already strengthened its own power.

After feeling that he had a certain chance of winning, one day the leader of the Shang tribe, Tang, led the Fangguo tribe to crusade against Xia Wei, because Shang Tang had been developing for a long time, Xia Wei could not resist it, so he could only flee while fighting, and finally died in the Nanchao Mountain.

With the death of Xia Wei, the Xia Dynasty was also officially declared extinct, Shang Tang called the king in Bodi, established the Shang Dynasty, and experienced three major stages before and after, passed the 17th and 31st kings, and the national Zuo lasted for more than 500 years.

In the legend, the origin of the Shang Dynasty can be traced back to the period of the Five Emperors, the ancestor of the merchant Qi because of the help of Yu Yu to control the water and was enshrined in Shangyi, since then the tribe has called itself Shang, and the legendary Xuanniao as the tribe's totem.

When I thought of this, I was suddenly stunned, and a paragraph inexplicably appeared in my mind.

There is a mountain in the North Sea, the name is the mountain of the hidden capital, the black water comes out of the Yan, there are the Xuanniao, the Xuansnake, the Xuanbao, the Xuanhu, and the Xuanhu unkempt tail.

This passage comes from the Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing, which roughly means that there is a mountain within the North Sea, this mountain is called Youdu Mountain, and the black water originates from this mountain, and there are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes with fluffy tails.

The reason why I suddenly thought of this was not because of my cranky thoughts for no reason, but because two words appeared in this passage at the same time that made me sensitive.

Youdu and Xuanniao.

Listening to the tone of the candle dragon just now, the existence of the Shang Dynasty is even more important than the Xia Dynasty when Shenzhou entered the era of the end of the law, and because the Shang Dynasty is a descendant of Xuanniao in the legend, I am particularly sensitive to the word Xuanniao at this moment.

If you understand it simply, the so-called Xuanniao is actually a black bird, but in various myths, Xuanniao has shown many different appearances, some people think that it looks like a crane, some people think it is like a phoenix, and there is no conclusion for thousands of years.

However, in many ancient books, there is a legend about the origin of the Shang Dynasty.

In the rumor, there was a woman named Jian Di, she and two other women went to the river to bathe, suddenly a bird flew in the sky, the bird laid an egg, Jian Di swallowed it by mistake, and when she went back, she became pregnant, and gave birth to a son after October, named Qi.

Qi since childhood, talented, when he grew up, he helped Dayu to control the water, Emperor Shun named it Situ, and gave him the business land, and the Shang tribe began to form and develop.

It is precisely because of this legend that the ancients had the so-called "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business".

As strange as it sounds, there are still many people who believe in this statement.

In addition to the so-called story of the Xuanniao, there is no doubt that the place where we are now is the legendary capital of the world.

Judging from the name alone, it is not difficult to find that the place where we are now and the mountain of the hidden capital recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas should have some kind of connection that we do not know.

Since the Book of Mountains and Seas is written by Dayu, every sentence in it must have his truth.

And now, we have found two words related to us in the same sentence, and I don't think it is a coincidence.
