Chapter 182: Houji

If everything really turned out to be what I had suspected, then it would undoubtedly become awkward.

Popularity.

Heaven and earth are the purest and simplest, but at the same time they are also the most complex existences.

Dayu tried his best to order Yinglong and others to teach the people he saw in the trajectory of heaven the art of cultivation and governance, but in the end, because of the lack of people's hearts, these descendants who had obtained the art of cultivation and governance disturbed the peace of the human race.

If Dayu can know everything that happened in the future, then what will he think?

Thinking of this, I naturally couldn't remain indifferent, and looked at the candle dragon and asked tentatively.

"Senior, could it be that the battle of the gods that took place in the last years of the Shang Dynasty was caused by the lack of people's hearts?"

The candle dragon did not hesitate to answer my question, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded so plausible.

"Yes and no."

When we were puzzled by these four simple words, the candle dragon spoke again and further explained the truth of the year for us.

"That battle of the gods is indeed an accident that no one expected, on the surface, that war is because of the lack of people's hearts, some people are dissatisfied with Shang Tang can sit on the world and want to replace it, but in fact, after this incident, there is another pair of black hands, and it is under the control of these black hands that will cause that war that has been passed down through the ages."

"You already know that the ancestor of Shang Tang was taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but you may not know that the Zhou Dynasty, which finally overthrew the rule of the Shang Dynasty, its ancestor also abandoned his name, but he also has another more well-known name, that is, Houji."

"Houji?"

Hearing the word Houji, Shen Lang immediately couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked excitedly to the candle dragon.

"Senior, isn't Houji one of the two who followed Dayu to control the water, could it be that the Zhou Dynasty, which has been inherited for 800 years, was established by his descendants?"

In response to Shen Lang's curiosity, the candle dragon nodded slightly, indicating that his guess was not wrong.

However, the candle dragon did not open his mouth to answer, but waited for us to understand it on our own.

By now, we already know something about the candle dragon, and after seeing his expression, we already know in our hearts that he will never explain much about this matter, and if we can't sort it out, we are afraid that we will have to wait until we leave here to find a perfect answer.

But fortunately, our current group of people can be described as a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and when the candle dragon was silent, a person slowly walked out and told us in detail about the record of Houji.

This person is naturally the mysterious Spring Pavilion.

"Candle Dragon predecessors are right, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty surnamed Ji, name abandoned, because he was a farmer in Jishan, so he was called King Ji, and later was Yao Ju as a farmer, and was ordered by Shun as Houji, in the legend, Houji taught people the method of farming, and was considered to be the first person to start planting millet and wheat."

In our curious eyes, Chunting slowly spoke, telling us those mysterious stories about Houji.

"In the legend, when Jiang Yan, the daughter of the Tai family, went to the wilderness, she accidentally stepped on the footprints of a mysterious giant, and when she returned to the tribe, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, because the people in the tribe have always believed that this child was born ominous, so Jiang Yan decided to abandon it after the birth of this child."

"But the miraculous thing is that Jiang Yan abandoned the child in the narrow alley, whether it was a horse or a cow passing through the alley, they would not trample on the child, and when Jiang Yan abandoned the child in the forest, a group of people happened to come to the forest, and Jiang Yan could only take the child away again and throw him back on the ice of the canal, intending to freeze him to death like this."

"And at this moment, a group of birds suddenly appeared in the sky, this group of birds saw this poor baby, and covered him with wings, after this toss, Jiang Yuan felt that it was the will of God to bless this poor child, so he changed his mind and prepared to raise him as an adult, because he had been extremely abandoned, so he named it abandoned."

Although we know in our hearts that these are all stories made up by later generations, after hearing such stories, we can't help but be amazed and have a great interest in this so-called abandonment.

"When he was a child, he liked to plant all kinds of plants, and when he became an adult, he was good at planting all kinds of food crops, under his leadership, people planted food one after another, and after Yao heard about it, he recommended him as a farmer, and ordered everyone in the world to follow him to learn the method of planting."

"Because the whole world follows the method of learning to plant, abandoning the merit of the human race, and the merit of the common people, so the emperor Shun abandoned it in Taidi and gave him the name of Houji, which actually refers to the emperor of Baigu, in order to distinguish it from his original surname Ji."

Listening to Chunting's story here, a hint of clarity appeared on everyone's faces.

If it is according to the story of Chunting, then this so-called abandonment is indeed the legendary Hou Ji who followed Dayu to control the water, there is no doubt that since Hou Ji can become a person who follows Dayu, then he will definitely not be an ordinary role.

And the candle dragon just told us that this legendary renunciation is actually the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty.

Since this is the case, then can we conclude that this so-called Hou Ji Qi is actually the same as Shang Zuqi, which is the existence that Dayu sees in the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, and both of them have been taught by Dayu's faction and have obtained some cultivation and statecraft?

As later generations, we naturally know in our hearts that Shang Tang overthrew the tyranny of Xia Wei, ended the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty at the same time.

In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, King Yin was as brutal as Xia Wei, and at that time he raised troops to overthrow the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty, named Ji Fa, and later generations called him King Wu of Zhou, and after King Ji Fa of Zhou defeated Queen Yin, he established the Zhou Dynasty that lasted for more than 800 years.

And if it is based on the conclusion just now, then this Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa is actually the descendant of the abandoned.

Thinking of this, everyone was suddenly shocked in their hearts, and they faintly made some discoveries.

According to the chronological order, Dayu's son Qi established the Xia Dynasty, the descendants of Shang Zuqi overthrew the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty, and the descendants of Hou Ji abandoned overthrew the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty.

There is no doubt that whether it is Dayu or Shang Zuqi and Hou Ji Qi, they are the existence of ancient times, and Shang Zu Qi and Hou Ji Qi have been inherited by Dayu, so their descendants can successfully establish a new dynasty.

So can we understand it this way?

A thousand years ago, the essence of the change between the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was the struggle between the descendants of those who had received the inheritance!
