Chapter 45: The Land of the Nine Secluded Places
Biaozi shook his head, a look of your too innocent expression hung on his face, and then said solemnly: "It seems that you don't know much about the legend of the Drought Fish, I have to make up for the unknown legend for you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Telling legends and ghost stories, that is the strength of the standard, in his own words, it is a necessary skill he used to scare little girls back then, and he has practiced a lot, and the average storyteller is not as vivid as he is.
The mark tells us that in the legend, the drought played a key role in the many battles of the Yellow Emperor, and to the present, it is an absolute great hero of the founding of the country. The Yellow Emperor was defeated by Chiyou back then, it was the time to employ people, since this was the case, it was too late for him to be happy, how could he kill the drought?
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the reason why the Yellow Emperor killed the drought fish actually has nothing to do with her supernatural powers, but has something to do with the habits of the drought fish. It is rumored that the drought can fly to the sky and the earth, and wherever it goes, it can be thousands of miles away, and it can breathe fire in its mouth, even if the god of war Chiyou meets her, she has to take a detour.
Of course, the legend must be a bit exaggerated, otherwise, with the stunt of "everywhere you go, thousands of miles of red land", the Yellow Emperor will not compete with Chiyou for many years, as long as the drought appears, the Chiyou army will not be thirsty to death? Even the Yellow Emperor himself probably wouldn't dare to put such a plague god by his side, right?
The legend is inherently exaggerated, but it is not completely groundless, all kinds of signs show that the drought does have magical powers that are different from ordinary people, but what is not perfect is that such a powerful person, she is fierce by nature, likes blood food, that is, eating raw food, including the same kind, even very hungry, sometimes even indistinguishable from the enemy, and because of this, it was labeled as a monster by later generations.
The Yellow Emperor was unfavorable in the war back then, even though he knew that the drought was no different from a wild beast, he could only raise it properly to help him deal with Chiyou. As the saying goes: the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Later, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You as he wished, set foot in the Central Plains, and unified the world, and the consequences of the demonic monster can be imagined.
Legend has it that after the unification of the world, the Yellow Emperor couldn't resist the words of many ministers, and finally made up his mind and executed his daughter Drought Fish, and regarded it as the reincarnation of the demon, in order to prevent her from resurrecting after death.
Regarding the legend of the Dry Fish, the tag tells me that the above is only one of the versions, but it is also the most systematic version, and the credibility is relatively much higher.
As for the other versions, such as the fact that the drought is the ancestor of zombies, or the first-class drought ghost in Shaanxi, they are all versions after the Qin and Han dynasties, and most of them are not credible.
I questioned this, Drought is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, how can a good person grow into that virtue, if she is born with that dignity, according to the ideas of the ancients, it is estimated that she will not wait for her to grow up, and she will be disposed of! For example, Nezha in the Romance of the Gods was born as a meat ball, Li Jing didn't say a word, he picked up his sword and cut it, although the meat ball that was split later was a white and fat baby, but Nezha has never been treated by Li Jing, so that more grievances occurred later, and finally became an enemy, which can be seen.
Speaking of this, Biaozi carefully recalled it, and then said: "There is some truth in what you said, and I am about to discuss this key point with you." In fact, it is rumored that the drought was originally called Nu Lu, the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, not only is she beautiful, but she is also obedient to her parents, and the people who pursue her can line up a few streets away according to the current words. But I don't know for what reason, when the Yellow Emperor and Chi You were fighting, the appearance and temperament of the female squire suddenly changed greatly, from the original beautiful female squire to the drench that everyone talked about, and it was precisely because of the fierce reputation of the drench that she left many legends, to be exact, if the female squire did not become a drought, there would be no later legends at all, and we would not know the character of the female fish. ”
Sankra and I both think it's strange, according to the words of the standard, the Yellow Emperor's daughter Nulu was originally a very normal woman, but how could a good and decent beauty become a demon drought in a short period of time? This is really puzzling, maybe there is something hidden in it, but after all, it is an unverifiable thing, and it is useless to think too much.
"Only Gu magic can turn her into that." Wu Jian's cold voice suddenly sounded, and we turned our heads to look at him in surprise, only to see that his originally indifferent face showed a look of reminiscence, as if he had thought of something.
After a while, Wu Jian's complexion returned to normal, and he continued to us: "In ancient times, there was a kind of flying bird, called Gu Eagle, which was eaten by both humans and animals, and its saliva was strangely poisonous, and the middle one was reduced to the walking corpse, crazy and powerful, and had the ability to fly to the sky and the earth, which was called "flying corpse" by the ancients, which means a flying corpse. “
Except for its great strength and ability to fly, the flying corpse has no other power, as long as it separates its head body, it will definitely die. The real terrifying thing about the flying corpse is the Gu poison on its body, that is, the poison of the Gu carving's saliva, which will be infected when a living person touches it, and immediately becomes a flying corpse, which caused chaos in ancient times.
Because of this, the culprit of the flying corpse, the Gu Eagle, was regarded as a great disaster by the tribes, and he was killed when he encountered it, so that the Gu Eagle disappeared hundreds of years later. However, on the occasion of the Yellow Emperor's war against Chiyou, the war in the world continued, presumably the Gu eagle hiding in the deep mountains was disturbed, and the traces reappeared, and in the midst of the war, attacked the Yellow Emperor's army, making hundreds of soldiers become flying corpses, and the Yellow Emperor's daughter Nulu was also among them.
The Yellow Emperor loved the female lu very much, knowing that she had become a walking corpse, but he was still reluctant to kill her, but ordered a large bronze chain to lock the female lull up. Who knew that in the next ten days, the flying corpse girl suddenly died violently and became a real corpse, and the Yellow Emperor was grief-stricken, but to no avail.
In order to keep the corpse of the female lu from rotting, so that it is convenient to return to the tribe for burial in the future, the tribal wizard had to make the corpse of the female lu into a zombie, who knew that this unintentional move created a famous monster drought in the future.
The female squire was resurrected, turned into a dry fish, liked to eat flesh and blood, the body was as hard as copper and iron, and it could reach several zhang under the jump, almost having the ability to fly to the sky and the earth, the Yellow Emperor sacrificed a lot of his subordinates to capture it, but he couldn't bear to kill it.
Later, the Yellow Emperor's subordinate adviser Feng Bo offered a plan, saying that the drought was almost invincible, and it must be a great help to release the injured enemy during the battle with Chiyou. Although the Yellow Emperor couldn't bear it, the war was losing and retreating, and in desperation, he adopted Feng Bo's strategy.
Since then, every time there is a big battle, the Yellow Emperor will send people to lead the bloodthirsty drought to the enemy's position, so as to disrupt the enemy's troop deployment, and the terrifying appearance of the drought can disturb the enemy's military heart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yellow Emperor led his troops to launch a strong attack, which often achieved miraculous results.
Wu Jian's deeds of these drought fish are all in his view of the secret ancient books of the tribe, although they are not far from the legendary stories, but there are many less mythological colors, but they are more real, so that people can understand the drought fish from a rational point of view.
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "And what about later?" Was the drought really divided by the Yellow Emperor's five horses? ”
Wu Jian shook his head very dryly, his face was as indifferent as ever, and he said expressionlessly: "She didn't die, it is recorded in ancient books that after pacifying the Central Plains, the Yellow Emperor trapped the drought in a place called 'Nine Secluded Land', so that she could never come back and make trouble, I think he still can't do anything about the drought fish." ”
Sankra's interest was raised, and he said to us with some excitement: "Oh, look at the content on this mural, isn't it that Sun Dabiao guessed correctly, the legendary drought is trapped here by the Yellow Emperor?" ”
Wu Jian said a little bored: "Maybe, who knows?" ”
Biaozi suddenly became elated, and he said a little proudly: "Haha, look, I really guessed correctly by Biaoye, right?" It seems that our luck is not bad as always, and this time, it is really exciting to meet the legendary drought fish. ”
I saw that he looked like he was about to see the drought, and he intended to hit him, so he said angrily: "The drought, but the legendary fierce monster, do you think we can deal with it, that is the ancestor of zombies." ”
Biaozi said with a nonchalant expression: "The ancestors of zombies are still zombies after all, and they are afraid of a ball." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, raised his chin towards Qin Kunlun and the others, and continued: "Besides, aren't there still those vanguard troops? They are well-armed, and it is estimated that even the drought can be done in three or two clicks. ”
Sankra hurriedly echoed, and he smiled and said, "That's right! That's right! Maybe there will be a fierce battle at that time, and that scene will definitely be extremely exciting, and most importantly, under the chaos, we may be able to sneak away. ”
Seeing Sankra and Biaozi's evil smiles, I was speechless, perhaps, what they said was exactly what I was thinking, and all of a sudden, my heart beat faster, and I became a little expectant.
In the entire cave, except for the murals in front of him, everything else seems to be very ordinary, at this time, Qin Kunlun's side is almost busy, he saw a few of us talking there with a sigh, so he beckoned and said: "I got five boats, it should be enough for more than a dozen of us, don't talk nonsense there, take the things, and we will go into the water immediately." ”
Walking out of the stone cave, the speed of Li Gao's group was indeed not ordinarily fast, in just over an hour, five wooden boats two meters wide and four meters long were assembled, of course, those woods had been processed before, which was the greatest convenience. (To be continued.) )
