When the old man heard us say this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he asked, "What kind of giant is fighting?" ”

I scratched my head. said: "I don't remember the specific plot, but I listened to the fungus." When the two giants fought, there were many people running on the ground, and these people were wearing animal fur and grass skirts, which was very primitive. Later, one of the giants was defeated, and the body was dragged into the river by the water spirit. ”

Then I said, "We suspect that the appearance of the fungus has something to do with our ancestors. After we passed the guò test, the ancestors created a zào pilgrimage in this place to pass on information to us. And you happened to find traces of the ancestors' activities over there. Most likely, that trace was left by him when he created the Zào Dynasty Fungus. ”

The old man's eyes showed a strange look, and he said, "That's right, these two things. It's actually the same thing. ”

He kept pacing around the room, turned around, and then said to us: "The place we went to has always had a legend that coincides with the dream of the Asahi fungus. ”

I asked, "What legend?" ”

The old man said mysteriously: "Dayu controls the water." ”

I thought he could tell some kind of magical legend. Suddenly hearing the words "Dayu controls the water", I couldn't help laughing: "Old man, everyone knows about Dayu's water control." As long as it's in China, I'm afraid there are legends everywhere, right? ”

Old Man Gu smiled and said, "What do you think. Am I telling you a mythological story? ”

He sighed and said, "We have been founded by our ancestors for more than a thousand years. Naturally, I didn't dare to climb the miracle of Dayu's water control. What's more, hehe, Dayu controls the water. Yes, it is true. Or far-fetched, that's hard to say. Dayu is a human, a god, or a demon, no one has figured it out. ”

I waited for him to finish sighing, so I asked, "What is that local legend?" ”

The old man said: "According to legend, in ancient times, the flood was monstrous. Then Dayu controlled the water, dredged the Kyushu river, and channeled the flood water into the sea. Needless to say, right? ”

I nodded and said, "We all know that." ”

The old man said: "The locals say that Dayu controls the water when he reaches a section of the Xiangjiang River. I met two demon beasts, this demon beast is a father and son, the father's name is Wu Zhiqi, and the son's name is Benyun. ”

Dayu and Benyun fought in the Xiangjiang River, and finally Benyun died. Wu Zhiqi sent the water ghost to snatch Ben Yun's body, buried it on the top of the mountain, waited for thousands of years to return to the sun, and then found Dayu to avenge his death. ”

Xue Qian's face suddenly realized: "I understand, what do you mean." In the dream of the Asahi fungus. The dead person is Benyun, and it is Dayu who is fighting against him? No wonder the people there are dressed in fur skirts, it turns out that it was thousands of years ago. ”

The old man sat down, tapped his fingers on the table for a while, and then said, "Do you think Dayu is a human or a god?" ”

This sentence stopped us.

Chinese mythology is interesting. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, in the history books, became people. In mythology, it becomes a god.

And Dayu seems to be a watershed, the emperors before him are all half-human and half-god. And after him, they were all mortals. As for himself, I really can't answer.

The old man said: "According to my speculation, Dayu is probably just a mortal. The people are ignorant, and for thousands of years they have boasted about his merits from generation to generation, and the more they talk about it, the more they talk about it. Anyway, I don't really believe in his battle with demon beasts. ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Maybe there is a tiger in that place that was killed by Dayu." After a long time, it will become a monster. ”

Old Man Gu smiled and said, "There is another possibility, that there are really two demon beasts in that place. And in that place, there was really a big war. It's just that the common people spread falsehoods and misplaced them on Dayu. ”

I immediately reacted: "Since the old man is so sure, could it be that you have seen that demon beast?" ”

The old man raised his head and looked at the black roof, as if he was looking up at the top of the mountain: "I didn't see the demon beast, I saw the beast bones." But it wasn't what I saw, it was a little ghost. ”

Xue Qian asked, "Does this demon beast's bones have anything to do with it?" ”

The old man said: "This demon beast has been dead for thousands of years, no one knows how he died, since everyone said that he was killed by Dayu, then he was killed by Dayu." We had no intention of having anything to do with him. Like you, I'm just treating it as an absurd legend. Just now you mentioned the dream of the Asahi mushroom, so I thought of this legend and took it out to confirm whether these two things happened in the same place. ”

The old man was silent for a while, and then said, "This legend is known to many people in that place. It's just that no one took it seriously. Later, a little ghost saw a phantom by chance, and this phantom was like a very good ancestor. And this phantom shadow walked towards the top of the mountain where the dry bones of the demon beast were buried. ”

"Our strength is all over the world, it just so happens that this little ghost is subordinate, he is very loyal, when he saw the old ancestor, he hurriedly wanted to hold him, invite him back, revitalize. But the phantom waved his hand, knocking the imp to the ground. By the time he got up again, the phantom was gone. ”

"If this matter is put on hold, the little ghost will definitely think that he is dazzled and ignore it. But when the eldest prince ordered him to go, he stepped up his search for his ancestors everywhere. So the little imp hurriedly informed the others. When I got the news, I rushed over with some imps to find out if it was true. ”

I looked at the monkey hair of the old man and thought, "Could it be that when they were investigating the news, something happened to them?" ”

Old Man Gu continued: "We rushed there very smoothly. Then I searched around for a long time, but I found nothing. Later, we began to look for the top of the mountain where the bones of the monster were buried. ”

"This place is no secret. But no one has ever been. It is said that it is very evil there, not to mention that it is a living person, it is a terrible ghost for hundreds of years, as long as you walk in, it is impossible to come out again. At that time, a lot of people advised me not to go in. But in order to find my ancestors, where can I take care of so much? Against all odds, I took the lead in that direction. ”

"Those little ghosts had no choice but to follow me in. Along the way, we saw a lot of dry bones, all of them in the same position, with their feet facing the top of the mountain and their heads facing outward, as if they wanted to run away and get out of here when they were dying. ”

"The little ghost I brought said that there are so many dry bones here, it seems to be a big murderous place, let's go back first, let's think about it in the long run. But I wouldn't. All the little ghosts persuaded me to go back, but there was only one little ghost named Ghost Four, which I brought from the Central Plains, and he resolutely supported me, saying that he would not see the traces of his ancestors, and he would not give up. "The Empty House:.

"When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw a cave, and according to legend, the bones of the demon were buried in it. Demon bones are the only thing of value on this mountain. If the old ancestor appears here, the biggest possibility is that he has entered. ”

"I thought about it outside, and then sent a little imp in and let him see if there was anything going on inside. Not long after this little ghost ran in, he ran back and said to us excitedly, there are really demon bones in it, and there are ......"

When the old man said this, he suddenly paused.

I asked curiously, "What else?" ”

The old man said, "I don't know what else. When the imp said this. Suddenly a strange smell came from inside the cave. Then the imp's body slowly faded and vanished. ”

I asked, somewhat surprised, "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

The old man said: "It means that the soul is scattered." No, it's even stricter than the soul flying away, and he didn't even have a single fragment of the soul left. ”
