Chapter 288: The Yellow Emperor's Scheme
At that time, I was skeptical of these godly words that Uncle Shi said, not to question Uncle Shi, but to doubt whether the information he learned was true, and later asked Yang Guoshan.
Yang Guoshan, the director of the cultural center and half an archaeologist, replied with a smile: There is actually no general in history, he is just a figure made up by folk artists in the more than 100 years from the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty.
And so it was put down.
This old man in front of me actually calls himself a general!
At that time, I was also full of circles, looking at the environment, and then looking at the appearance of this old man, deep down I actually believed it. Immediately, he was stunned, and suddenly thought: Jiangchen is one of the four ancestors of ancient zombies! Could it be that there is a zombie sitting in front of me?
Immediately, the scene in Lin Zhengying's zombie film came to mind: a zombie dressed in the Qing Dynasty official mansion, with his hands outstretched, jumped towards me with a hideous face......
"Haven't you heard my name?" When the generals saw my reaction, they were a little puzzled.
"Listen...... I've heard of it! You...... You are ......" I wanted to say that you are one of the four zombies, but when the words came to his lips, Fang felt that something was wrong, so he stopped.
"Then have you heard of Nuwa and Fuxi?"
"I've heard of it too...... They are all hailed as the ancestors of mankind. β
Hearing me say this, the general laughed, stretched out his hand and stroked the beard on his face, his eyes were a little bright, but there was still no expression on his face.
"They are your ancestors, but what about me? Me too...... Hi! That's it! That's it! β
"Then did you know that Xuanyuan has a bear?"
I quickly searched for the name in my mind, but I couldn't find it, so I shook my head.
The general hurriedly explained: "Ao! It seems that he has given himself a very majestic name, called the Yellow Emperor. β
As soon as I hear the word Yellow Emperor, my scalp is numb, is the name of the Yellow Emperor called Xuanyuan Youxiong?
I looked at the old man in front of me again, if he was really a general, he would have to be four or five thousand years old, he wouldn't just sit like this for four or five thousand years, right?
"This kid really has no conscience! I helped him win that battle, but he didn't come to see me again, he was already ...... It's been 4,680 years! β
After saying that, he laughed again, and his voice was still like a bronze bell.
He often called the Yellow Emperor "boy", so the generals were much older than the emperor? Thinking like this, I wanted to test it with words, so I asked, "Old man, do you know the Yellow Emperor?" He is the ancestor of our Chinese civilization. β
"Ancestor? The Ancestor of Shit! Looks like I've been calculated by this kid. β
What followed was a lengthy conversation, and I picked out the important ones:
The general said that he had a common master with Nuwa, Fuxi, and Pangu.
I still don't know who the master of these four characters who has always existed in Chinese mythology is, it should be a very good character, and I don't know why there is no such legend in history - maybe it was deliberately erased.
The master selectively taught the four of them some skills, which led to the later Pangu opening the land, Nuwa creating people, Nuwa mending the sky, and those legends about Fuxi.
In fact, among the four of them, the generals are the most powerful, and even Pangu opened the world, Nuwa created people and mended the heavens, and he planned them single-handedly.
The myths and legends we know about Nuwa's creation of man are basically like this:
After Pangu Heaven and Earth was opened, there were sun, moon and stars in the sky, mountains, rivers, grass and trees on the earth, and even birds, beasts, insects and fish, but there were no human beings. This world, no matter how you say it, inevitably seems a little desolate and lonely.
I don't know when, a goddess with great powers appeared, called Nuwa. She is said to be able to change seventy times a day. One day, the great goddess Nuwa walked on this field of reckless hazelnuts, looked at the surrounding scene, and felt very lonely. She felt that between heaven and earth, something should be added to it to make it vibrant.
What do you want to add to it?
She walked and walked, she was a little tired of walking, and occasionally squatted down next to a pool. The clear water of the pool illuminated her face and figure; She laughed, and the shadows in the pool smiled at her; She pretended to be angry, and the shadows in the pool were angry at her.
She suddenly had an idea: although there are all kinds of creatures in the world, but there are no creatures like herself, so why not create a creature like yourself to join the world?
Thinking about it, she dug up a ball of yellow mud from the edge of the pool, mixed it with water, kneaded it in her hand, kneaded it, and kneaded it into the first doll-like little thing.
She put the little thing on the ground. Strange to say, this little creature of mud, as soon as he touched the ground, came to life, and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Mother! β
Nuwa looked at this intelligent and beautiful creature she had created with her own hands, and when she heard the shout of "mother", she couldn't help but be full of joy and smile.
She gave her beloved child a name called "Man".
Although the human body is small, it is said that because it was created by God, it looks and behaves a little like a god, and it is different from birds that fly and animals that crawl. In this way, it seems that there is an extraordinary spirit of governing the universe.
Nuwa is very satisfied with her work. So, she continued to do her work, and she made many cute little people who could talk and walk out of yellow clay. These little people jumped around her and cheered, making her spirited.
Although there are human beings on the earth, Nuwa's work has not ended. She thought again: People are going to die, do they create a batch after they die? It's too much trouble. How can we keep them alive?
Later, she finally came up with a solution, which was to divide the little people into men and women, and let the men and women work together to create their own offspring. In this way, mankind has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has increased day by day.
β¦β¦
The legend does not mention the names of the generals.
In the myth of Nuwa mending the sky, it is only said that Nuwa searched thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally gathered the colorful stones, and then smelted them for three days and three nights to mend the holes in the sky. There is no mention of generals either.
When I talked about these two legends and my own thoughts, the generals were also stunned.
"Is that really the case?"
I nodded.
"This ...... That's not right! Could it be that the Yellow Emperor has tampered with history? The general muttered.
I was also curious, and hurriedly asked, "What does the real history look like?" β
The general suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed around like a dead wood.
"Do you see this place?"
I nodded, and said in my heart: I'm not blind, how can I not see such a big cave!
"Count, this is where you came from."
"Birthplace? In this cave? β
"Originally, this was not a cave, but it became a cave after a lot of earth was dug up."
Digging? Why dig such a big hole! I wondered to myself.
The general said: "Later, these muds lived in the Yellow River water, and they were kneaded into many animals, and there were living beings in the worldβincluding you humans, of course. β
When I heard this, I almost jumped.
What the? When Nuwa created man, did she obtain soil here?
"Not only that, but later there was a hole in the western sky, and the stone here was also used to smelt the slurry and mend the sky!" The general continued.
I can't put into words the shock I felt at the time, no wonder he said that this cave was the birthplace of humanity, but it was too strange to believe.
"Where did Nuwa and Fuxi go?" I asked.
"Pangu has become one with this land, Fuxi and Pangu have also been feathered, and at that time I took the initiative to take the responsibility of assisting their descendants to govern the world, until a few hundred years later, Xuanyuan has a bear appear."
As soon as I heard it, I seemed to understand something, and continued to ask: "What is the relationship between the Yellow Emperor and Nuwa and Fuxi?" β
"Speaking of which, it's their great-great-grandson! The relationship is complex and cannot be explained in a few sentences. As he spoke, the general turned his words around and sighed, "I'm still being calculated by these two people!" β
"You mean Fuxi and Nuwa? They turned out to be a couple of two? β
The general nodded.
"Fu Xi learned the art of divination from his master, and calculated that in a few hundred years, his great-great-grandson Xuanyuan Youxiong would be challenged by the Demon Lord of the East, and the most critical battle after the creation of mankind would be staged."
"You're talking about the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou?"
"Chiyou? It seems to be called this name, that kid is actually your ancestor, and he was conceived by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, but he is not the same kind of person as you. β
"This battle is recorded in the history books, called the Battle of the Deer, the Yellow Emperor defeated the murderous Chiyou with the help of the right time and place, and then the Huaxia unified the Dongyi people."
The general shook his head and said slowly: "The truth is not like this!" Fu Xi counted this battle, so he begged me, let me help his great-great-grandson through this pass, what is the right time, place and people, all are nonsense, if there is no me, maybe the ancestor of today's human race is not Xuanyuan Youxiong's kid, but Chiyou. β
"You helped the Yellow Emperor? How can it help! I asked hurriedly.
The general did not answer me directly, but asked, "Do you know why I have been sitting in this underground where there is no light of day?" β
I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.
"Since this is the birthplace of your human race, it is naturally also the lifeblood, only if I am here, you will have the courage, otherwise you will all become the walking dead."
"When you say help the Yellow Emperor, do you mean sitting here all the time?"
The general shook his head and said, "Although I didn't go in person, I sent my apprentices, including my most beloved female apprentice. β
When I heard this, I was stunned, the female lu turned out to be the apprentice of the general, it is not impossible to think about it! They are all zombies. But no matter how powerful a zombie is, can it still decide the outcome of a battle?
"As for the details of this battle, I still heard it from another young man hundreds of years after the end of the war."
What the? I was shocked again, so that someone else had been here since then!
"Who's that man?" I asked.
He ...... His name is Dayu, have you heard of this person? β
When I hear it, my scalp is numb, not to mention that I've heard it! I said in my heart, this time I came to Ningxia to find the tomb of Dayu.
"I think it's not just me, everyone knows Dayu! He's a flood hero! After being stunned for a moment, I hurriedly replied.
"Dayu told me the details of my battle......"
Known as the "God of War", Chiyou has a bronze body and iron arms, a pair of metal wings that are harder than steel, and the most terrifying thing is that he has eighty-one equally demonic brothers, all of whom are extremely strong.
In addition, there are many god-like characters who help Chiyou, who can call the wind and rain and make waves.
It is said to be a battle, but in fact it has lasted for ten years.
In the first few years, the Yellow Emperor was defeated and retreated, and there was no way to resist Chiyou's attack, so he had to beg his generals again.
At that time, the generals were already under the magic lake, so they sent several of his apprentices to help the Yellow Emperor.
The general is a zombie, he can not eat or drink, he will never die or die, his apprentices are naturally the same as him, on the battlefield, if you cut the opponent a dozen times, the other party still seems to be fine, you will also collapse.
These apprentices of the generals are all equipped with unique skills, some can exchange poisonous snakes, some can manipulate rats and ants, and the drought is the most bullish, and wherever she goes, the oasis will instantly turn into a desert.
The Dongyi tribe where Chi You belongs is originally "water", so they naturally can't withstand the drought.
This was the turning point of the war.
However, after the victory of the Yellow Emperor, he did not come to the Demon Lake to see the generals as agreed in advance, not only that, but even several apprentices of the generals were like evaporating from the world, and they never came to see him again.
The generals just sat cross-legged, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed.
Hundreds of years later, a young man arrived.
The general said that the young man looked exactly like me, so after recognizing my appearance just now, he was shocked.
That person is Dayu.
Dayu didn't say how he found here, and in his vague words, the generals also heard what was difficult to say, so they didn't ask any more.
Dayu said that the Yellow River has become a hidden danger, and the river is overflowing, making the people miserable.
The generals know what is going on, the Yellow River originally belonged to the Dongyi tribe, this is the injustice of the spirit of nature to that battle! It's anger!
Dayu has no choice, he has been governed for several years, but the Yellow River is still like an evil dragon, stubborn and abnormal.
The minister handed him a sword, speaking of which, this sword was created by the way when he helped Nuwa smelt the colorful stones, and the sword "belongs to fire" should be able to restrain the resentment and anger in the Yellow River.
Dayu promised the generals that after the matter was successful, he would return here with the sword, but he also broke the appointment.
Thousands of years have passed, although the generals are immortal and immortal, but so many years of "meditation" have made him figure out a lot of things, he knows that all this is actually a catastrophe, the so-called catastrophe is inevitable, whether it is for himself or for Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Yellow Emperor, everyone's fate has already been arranged.
The general judged that several of his apprentices should have been more than lucky, and even thought of what the young man who looked exactly like me had to do with the Yellow Emperor.
I told me about the strange tomb I found under the Yellow River and saw a living corpse exactly like me in that coffin.
After hearing this, the general's eyes seemed to light up, and he muttered: "This person should be my land girl!" She was probably persecuted by the emperor and his descendants and imprisoned under the Yellow River.
The nemesis of the female lu is the water, and the emperor should have designed and planned to suppress the female lu with the Yellow River.
After hearing the description, the general felt that his favorite apprentice also had a premonition that he would be destroyed, so he prepared in advance, that is, to release the rumor in advance, and engraved the location where he was trapped on the turtle shell.
