Chapter Eighty-Three: The Fall of the Snow God
What came out of the cave was an upright monster with a snow-white body and two horns. It is three times the size of an ordinary person, with slightly shorter upper limbs and thick and powerful lower limbs. His eyes glowed blue, his mouth was as big as a bowl, and his fangs were sharp and sharp.
"Snowman?" Wang Gang said in surprise.
"It turns out that there really is a monster like a snowman in the world!" Uncle Han also said with a shocked face.
"No, it could also be a descendant of the Snow God." Aunt Han said with a solemn face.
The snowman and the snow god are two very different concepts, the snowman comes from modern scientific research, and the snow god comes from the folk mythology of the Tang Dynasty.
The original legend of the Yeti came from the Himalayas, when a Western expedition found a row of huge footprints deep in the Himalayas in the sixties of the last century, and then they followed the footprints forward, and finally disappeared in front of a cave. They found a safe hillside and squatted for two days and two nights. Finally, I saw the creature that came out of the cave, a monster with two horns walking upright.
Someone in the scientific expedition team also took photos at that time, but because the field of vision was too far, the snowman was a fusion of snow white and the surrounding snow. The photos are not clear. When the expedition team came to the cave with weapons in their hands, the snowman had no choice but to find flame ashes in the cave.
There is no record of a snowman in China, but there is a snow god in China.
In the sacrificial rituals before the Tang Dynasty. There are four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but there is no frost and snow. The reason why frost and snow are despised is that the impact of frost and snow on China in the ancient agricultural era was very limited, and it was all negative impact.
The official appearance of the snow god in history is the Tang Dynasty, and it was also in the Tang Dynasty that the name of the snow god was officially established, Tengliu.
There is such a story recorded in the Tang Dynasty, saying that there was a Zhongshu Ling named Xiao Zhizhong who went to Jinzhou to make a history of assassination, and he was going to lead his subordinates to Huoshan to hunt on this day. When the beasts of the mountains heard this, they were terrified. gathered together to find a way, and a fox demon suggested that as long as the snow god was allowed to snow and the wind god to wind on the day of the winter solstice, Xiao Zhizhong would cancel this large-scale hunting activity.
The snow god Teng six lustful, the wind god Xun two good wine. So there were two fox demons turned into human form, one went to Jinju City to carry a beautiful woman, and the other went to exchange fur for wine. Then the beasts held a sacrificial ceremony in the mountain, and sacrificed beautiful women and wine.
On the day of the winter solstice, as soon as Xiao Zhizhong and his subordinates left the city, it snowed heavily in the sky, and it was white. The cold wind howled, and man could not stand on a horse.
The god of snow has risen since the Tang Dynasty, and it is a Tang tomb that we are going to steal. Looking at the monster roaring and treading water, I had doubts in my heart.
Is there any connection between the two?
But is this monster a snowman recorded in Western scientific research, or a descendant of the snow god in our traditional Chinese mythology?
The monster soon swam across the stream, roaring and lunging at us. Wang Gang wanted to shoot, but I immediately stopped him, and then I took two steps forward and caught the monster's two claws head-on.
As long as it's not an ethereal spirit like the Nether Spirit, I'm not afraid of any melee monster. The Dan copper furnace burned excitedly, and the five thunders were wandering around the whole body, eager to find an outlet for catharsis.
Roar!
The monster let out a roar of rage and slammed its claws on the top of my head. I had mana in my waist, and after making a quick squat movement, I hit the monster's claws horizontally with my left hand, and made a fist with my right hand and hit the monster's abdomen with a straight right fist.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
My punch was so powerful that it went straight into the monster's stomach. The monster let out three screams. The huge body fell into the stream. After falling into the water, the monster quickly got up again, and fled into the cave with one claw covering its belly.
"No life, look at your hands." Aunt Han said.
I punched the monster in the belly, and my right hand was stained with blood in its body, but the blood was not red, but blue, and there was a faint chill.
"Aunt Han, why is this monster's blood this color?" I asked her.
"I can now be sure that this monster is not a snowman at all, but a descendant of the snow god in traditional Chinese mythology." Aunt Han said.
"The legend of the snow god comes from the Tang Dynasty, and what we are going to dig is also the tomb of the gods of the Tang Dynasty, is there any connection between the two?" I asked her.
"Even the gods are thrilled by the Immortal Tomb, and I don't find it strange at all that there are descendants of the Snow God here. And I also vaguely feel that this snow god not only failed to obtain the Heavenly Son of Heaven in the Immortal Tomb, but also very likely to fall inside. Aunt Han said.
"What? Will immortals also fall in the mortal world? I was surprised.
"The god of snow is not a god. It is a god artificially sealed by the Tang Dynasty, and of course he will die. Immortal is not an independent noun, but should be taken apart and pronounced. I'm going to tell you about the difference between gods and immortals......"
In Chinese mythology, the gods are sealed. God has a mission and a role. Jiang Ziya used the god list to seal the position of three hundred and sixty-five Qingfu righteous gods, and each god has his own responsibilities.
For example, Huang Feihu was named the head of the Five Mountains by Jiang Ziya, and was in charge of the eighteenth layer of hell in the Netherworld. Whoever should be born and die transforms people, gods, gods and ghosts. All from Dongyue can be right, only then can it be implemented. This is where Huang Feihu's responsibilities lie.
Immortals, on the other hand, are realized from the Tao, and their status in the heavenly realm is much higher than that of gods. Immortals are free and not bound by any duties. As long as you don't break the rules of heaven, you can come and go.
There is one of the biggest differences between gods and immortals, after becoming a god, the strength of a person's mana has been fixed. No matter how much you practice, after the Godhead is set, there will definitely be no further improvement.
After becoming an immortal, as long as the Dao heart is not extinguished. If you succeed in the tribulation, you can infinitely improve your cultivation. It is divided into nine levels from Earth Immortals, Scattered Immortals, Upper Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Xuan Immortals, Golden Immortals, Da Luo Jin Immortals, Mixed Yuan Da Luo Jin Immortals, and Sages.
The three Qingdao Venerables are all among the saints, and after the saints, there is only one Hongjun Ancestor.
"Aunt Han. How can you tell if the snow god has fallen? After hearing the difference between the immortals, I asked her.
"If the Snow God hadn't fallen, this monster wouldn't have been knocked away by you. As a descendant of the Protoss, it will not flee even if it dies in battle. Now that it can escape, it means that the snow god has fallen. The Godhead is gone, so the monster has no faith in preferring to die. ”
In this case, God is a high being, how can a descendant of God show his timid side in front of people?
"Aunt Han. Since even the snow god can fall into the immortal tomb, how can we rob it? I asked Aunt Han again.
Originally, I was still full of fighting spirit, but when I heard Aunt Han say that a snow god had died in this immortal tomb, my confidence was very damaged.
"Go, of course. If you can't get the exercises in the Heavenly Son Karma Fire Sword, your Five Thunder Righteous Fire will not be able to exert the strongest power, and the era of the end of the Dharma is coming to an end, and the rise and fall of the Dao Gate depends on you alone. Say anything, there is also a gamble. The so-called gambling does not necessarily mean losing. Aunt Han said firmly.
"Good. It's because I'm too weak, and when I hear about Godfall, I lose my confidence. I said with a little shame.
"You're still young, and it's normal for you to lose your self-confidence once in a while. I appreciate that from you. People are self-aware, and if you act recklessly, I will worry about you. Now we want to go to the cave of the descendants of the snow god and see if we can get some clues about the tomb of the snow god thief. Aunt Han said.
After Aunt Han finished speaking, she used the light body technique. Treading water to the other side, and then throwing the fairy rope to Liufeng Sakura, the two of them fixed the fairy rope with their true qi.
Uncle Han, Wang Gang, and Zhuge Qingyun threw their luggage over first, and then climbed the immortals in turn and roped across the stream.
I picked up Song Yu horizontally. After a run-up, his feet slammed into the air, and his body rose into the air and landed heavily on the opposite bank.
"No life, now your body is the strongest, you can lead the way in front, if there is a monster attack, don't hesitate to kill it on the spot." Aunt Han said.
"Okay."
It's cold inside the cave, and this cold is not the kind of temperature drop in nature, but a kind of cold that comes from the bones, and no matter how thick you wear, you can't keep out this cold.
I glanced back at Song Yu and found that her lips were trembling. Not only her, but even Uncle Han, Wang Gang, and Zhuge Qingyun all showed a look of patience.
"I almost forgot. None of you have true qi protection. In this way, you wait for us outside, and I'll go in with the three of them, Flowing Wind Sakura, and Wuming to investigate. Aunt Han said.
After the four of them stayed outside, the three of us quickened our pace inside the cave. There were no monster attacks along the way. We quickly descended the tunnel to the bottom of the cave, where we saw the wounded monster.
It lay on the ground in agony, looking horrified at the sight of us.
Behind it was a throne carved of ice, with a crown of sure blue glitter......
The monster gritted its teeth and roared, then quickly got up from the ground, picked up the crown and put it on its head.
Aunt Han quickly recited a spell, and the fairy rope in her hand was as straight as an arrow, entangled one of the monster's claws.
At the same time, he said loudly: "No life, stop it, don't let it wear the Ice Crown!" ”
