At this time, the big snake obviously knew the horror of the phoenix fire, and let out an indignant tooth sound and sank, obviously trying to extinguish the fire with water. I looked at Shi Ling with concern, and the others were also the same people, only Hu Qinglan looked at the water intently. The slightest movement in the calm water of the river can make the nerves of everyone present!

The situation of not being able to see the bottom of the river makes people feel a little uneasy, but Shi Ling people are always smiling, "This fire is not a fire, water is wood, wood is the son of water, hitting wood makes fire, the surrounding wood has turned into ashes, wood turns into fire, fire is the son of wood, and this fire belongs to Nanming according to the direction of the fire is not extinguished in the water, once the wood grain in those fires is dissolved into the blood of the creature, usually when on the water surface, in order to avoid the grass and startle the snake, it will not attack, but once the water pressure transmitted from the outside world becomes stronger, it will make the blood spurt out of the body!"

The stronger the water pressure, the faster the blood will spurt into flames! If this atavistic animal wants to save its life, then it must surface, otherwise its own blood will be drained before the enemy can do it.

Seeing that the big snake was sinking underwater, the mercenary leader appeared at this time, and he commanded Ruoding, and quickly pointed to the west. In terms of commanding operations, this middle-aged man can be called an authority, even Hu Qinglan, although he is a big money lord and a pioneer, he can only bow to the wind!

The mercenaries are all war wild dogs, especially the injured old dogs, which makes this middle-aged man even more portrayal, he just calculated the shooting range, and it is ten times more accurate than the positioning of underwater sonar.

"To the west, one hundred and fifty meters, nine knots at a speed, ten meters deep."

After the mercenary leader reported this data, he returned to his position and went into the depths of the crowd, and at this time the head of their raft was facing east, which shows how cunning the Great Serpent is, and it is evident that the big guy, who was silent a little in the murky waters, also sensed that danger was approaching...... It looks like it was swimming east and escaping after it dived. But after diving out of everyone's sight, he swam back from the bottom of the raft again, swam to the west, and then hung us from behind our butts!

This kind of intelligence and behavior is almost no different from that of human beings.

After hearing the data reported by the mercenary leader, several captains had already issued a series of orders. The raft made an arc very calmly on the water, and the feeling of calmness was almost as if the farmer's hoe had been dragged deep into the earth, and when the raft turned over, the mercenary who acted as a lookout had already shouted:

"Blood stains floating on the water ahead!"

At this time, the mercenary leader had silently given the order, and the powerful modern weapon had already sprayed flames angrily, and a column of water splashed in my vision, and blood stains floated, and the blood was still burning, and there was no doubt that it had successfully hit the target.

I remembered what Shi Ling said, the composition of the phoenix is from Bi Fang. In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas. In the Three Classics of the Western Times, there is a bird in the mountain of Zhang'e, which is shaped like a crane, with one leg, red stripes and a white beak. The bird in "Overseas South Longitude" is in the east, and the green water is in the west, with only one foot. And "Huainanzi. It is said in the "Commentary on Training" that Mu Sheng is bi. Therefore, it is said that Bifang is changed by wood spirits, and the shape is a bird, one foot, and does not eat grains. In the Anthology. Zhang Heng, Tokyo Fu, "God, like a bird, with two legs and one wing, often causes strange disasters in others. And "Han Feizi. In "Ten Mistakes", it is said that the Yellow Emperor of the past joined the ghosts and gods on the West Qin Mountain, drove an elephant car and a dragon, and killed him. "Lu Ya" is Bi Fang, and the Zhao Firebird is also. Mu Sheng Bi Fang is influenced by the concept of the Five Elements, which means that wood makes fire. Because Bi Fang is a firebird, Bi Fang is used to replace fire, which does not mean that Bi Fang was born in wood. Yuan Ke said that Hua Fang is a phoenix, and a phoenix is a sunbird, so he sees that it is a false fire. In this way, the image of the phoenix, the king of birds, gradually took shape.

However, facts have proved that the ancient invasions in film and television dramas are all deceptive, especially Hu Qinglan's high-speed shooting, even if it is from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the atavistic animal with rough skin and thick flesh is difficult to withstand the frontal bombardment of this modern weapon that can break the armor, but this is the tireless Dahua snake After being hit hard again, the blood stained the surrounding river again, and it could not sink into the deep water to evade, so although it still has the strength to escape on the surface of the water, but this guy's blood will eventually run dry, And on the raft that is chasing behind, you only need to hit a moving target!

Therefore, there is no need to say much about its ending, the raft hung it unhurriedly, and when the blood was about to run dry, an armor-piercing ejection blew off the head, and then at least three mercenaries jumped into the water, shouting and shouting to scoop up the hapless big guy.

Hu Qinglan took out the blood-colored saber, deeply inserted it into the head of the big snake that was still twitching and shaking, and pulled it out after a while, kicking the broken body of the dead snake into the water, although they were all men licking blood from the edge of the knife, but according to my opinion, the mercenaries around me still felt that the blood on the saber was compelling, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. That's when we saw a waterline!

It's another big snake, I thought it was gone, but I didn't expect it to come back, it's better to be in time than to be in time, this guy is really too coincidental. It's like telepathy!

Then, in our horrified eyes, it was intertwined with the later snake that swam all the way to the fire, leaving only half a life! It actually formed a convex hull on the torso, like another head!

Gosh, this is the legendary two-headed snake?

Before watching "War of the Gods", I learned that there is a two-headed snake in ancient Greek mythology, which is the invincible protector of Hera, the queen of heaven, and the protector of women, but I only saw her help Hera use magic to punish many love rivals, demons and beasts will lose their mana and turn to ashes when they see the two-headed snake, and even the god-king Zeus is afraid of Hera. Legend has it that the staff of the two-headed serpent used by Hermos, the son of Zeus, was also very magical, and later the ancient Greek Cretans and ancient Egyptians made the two-headed snake into various ornaments and utensils as a protective god for men to give to their wives. And knowing the Shiling people, I learned that as early as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" there is a two-headed snake saying, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Western Classic" mentions that a strange beast with two heads is "sealed", this snake has both heads at one end, and the consciousness is opposite everywhere, one head wants to go there, one head wants to go this way, pulling around, and the size of the place cannot be moved.

Guo Pu also mentioned in the commentary: "The same is true of the crossbow snake today. Hao Yixing added: "The crossbow snake is a two-headed snake. When the "five directions" are mentioned in the "Erya Shakti", it means that there is a snake with a citrus aurantium in the central office. Corresponding to the "flounder" in the east, the "winged bird" in the south, the "bichigan beast" in the west, and the "bibi people" in the north, the five are the "heterogeneous" of the "four directions" and "China" respectively. Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty commented that the citrus aurantium snake is "the head snake." He also added, "Now Jiangdong calls the two-headed snake, and it is about to be issued by the king of Yue." Also known as crossbow strings. "It is the source of the citrus snake. Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Pen Talk Magazine II" in the Song Dynasty also mentioned: "There are many citrus snakes in Ningguo County, Xuanzhou, with long rulers, black scales and white chapters, two poems are the same, but one is against the scales. ”

It refers to the fact that there are many citrus snakes in Xuanzhou, most of which are one foot long, with black scales and white patterns, and the markings and colors of the two heads are the same, but the scales on the head of one of the snakes grow in the opposite direction to the scales of the rest of the body. This snake will live between the courtyard thresholds of people's homes, and there are dozens of them at every turn, and their form and habits are like earthworms. Tang Dynasty section of the highway "Beihulu Red Snake": ""Also Famous Garden" cloud: 'The two-headed snake is about to be sent by the king of Yue, and the common people see it ominous. The mention of the two-headed snake is considered unlucky by the world. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Shuao, a native of Chu State, also encountered a two-headed snake, and killed and buried the snake because he heard the legend of "the one who sees the two-headed snake will die". The Ming Dynasty's "Compendium of Materia Medica, Scales" also mentions the citrus snake, Li Shizhen quoted Guo Pu's description, referring to the citrus snake is also known as the Yue Wang snake, and the legend of Huiji refers to this snake is changed from the crossbow string of the Yue King, so it is also called the crossbow snake. The two-headed snake is only the size of a human finger, and one of the snake's heads has no eyes or mouth, and both ends can move forward. There is a more specific record in Liu Sui's "Difference in the Record of the Ridge": "There are many outside the ridge, more than a foot long, as big as a little finger, with brocade stripes on the back, and red scales under the abdomen. People take it for granted, and don't think it's different. Luo Yuan's "Erya Wing" also refers to: "There are many Ningguo, dozens of the same cave. "It's about the size of an earthworm. Li Shizhen carries the two-headed snake as a non-venomous snake, and foreigners in the southeast will eat it. This snake is used to treat malaria, and the natives of the mountains will dry the snake and tie it around the neck.

In most folklore, the two-headed serpent is a bad omen, probably because there are no two heavens and no two people. On the other hand, the dragon is the totem of the ancient Chinese nation, and according to the current mainstream view, it is a hybrid totem, which mixes a variety of totems. The formation of the dragon totem embodies the subjugation and integration between multiple primitive peoples. The trunk of the dragon is the snake. Judging from the record of "Fu Xi Scales Body, Nuwa Snake Body" in "Lu Lingguang Dianfu", from the legend of Nuwa's brothers and sisters marrying each other in "Du Yizhi", and from the unearthed image of two snake bodies and people in the stone room portrait of Wuliang Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this can be proved. Therefore, there are many taboos against snakes. In particular, in books such as "New Preface", "The Biography of the Daughters", "Jia Yiji", and "On Balance", there are records that the two-headed snake cannot be killed, and those who see the two-headed snake die.

However, another point of view is refreshing, that when books such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" talk about creatures with heads on the left and right, or heads on the front and back, or two heads on the body, there is a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the state of male and female union. The "Chinese" and "The Legend of the Daughters" say that there is a male and a female and two dragons fighting in the court of Xia, which is a bad omen for the fall of the Xia Dynasty. The rainbow is the transformation of the snake and the dragon, and it is the snake and dragon that the ancients imagined hanging in the sky. This is fully confirmed by ancient records, folklore, and excavated portraits. The rainbow is also called a dragon, also called a rainbow, in short, it is a common name for male and female rainbows. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said that the rainbow is also called a beetle, and the shape is like an insect. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that the rainbow has two ends, and Yuan Ke said that the two ends also mean the combination of male and female rainbows. The oracle bone inscription has two ends.

The rainbow dragon in the "Nanyang Han Dynasty Portrait Stone" is a semi-circular bridge arch, and the two ends are clearly carved into a dragon head. In this way, there are many taboos against rainbows. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty said that one day, a pair of rainbow lizards landed on the palace in broad daylight, and the emperor was very disgusted with it. What is said here is obviously the same thing as the two dragons in the palace court in "Chinese". "White Rainbow Through the Sun" is the most feared by the ancients, and it is considered to be a "soldier elephant". "The Book of Songs" says: "The mantis are in the east, Mo Zhi dares to point", referring to a method of witchcraft curse, and the totem worshipped naturally cannot be referred, otherwise it will be rotten fingers. The appearance of the rainbow lizard made the ancients tremble, which is reflected in the oracle bone inscriptions. In the oracle bone inscriptions, there is a record of rainbow lizards being able to cause trouble. The Tang Dynasty Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous" clearly said: "When you see a snake, you will die in three years." At present, this taboo still exists in the Dai, Yi and Tujia areas.

It looks strange, but it's not unreasonable. Some people believe that the ancestors' superstition about snakes originated from the snake's symbol of "fecundity". Because the snake shows a demonic power that generates fear. Whereas, it shows a subtle foresight. From many myths and legends and archaeological data found, it can be seen that the ancestors especially worshipped its "fecundity". Therefore, its genetic engineering is sacred, and it is forbidden to be sacred from the sacred.

In the eyes of the ancients, once the snake, dragon, and rainbow were exposed to people's eyes without any scruples, it was a kind of humiliation and a kind of rebuke to people. As in their eyes, dragons and snakes are the same thing as chickens, pheasants, and phoenixes. In ancient times, there were things about worshipping pheasants and worshipping pheasants, and there were also records of dragons and phoenixes intersecting tails and pheasant snakes changing each other, which shows that pheasants are also a kind of totem worship, and they are also the same totem family as dragons. Of course, there are many taboos against pheasants. "Historical Records Yin Benji" said that the day after Wu Ding was sacrificed into soup, a pheasant fell on the armrest of the ding and called, Wu Ding was very scared and thought it was ominous. "Youyang Miscellaneous" said that on the night of Wu Zetian's birth, there was a group of female pheasants calling non-stop. It is also unlucky to see pheasants chirping. "Zuo Biography" says that there was a pheasant calling on the Taimiao Temple in the Song Kingdom, and later a fire broke out. You can't shoot this pheasant, otherwise it's ominous.

"Shuo Yuan" tells such a story: King Chuzhuang went hunting and caught a "pheasant", and a minister took the pheasant. Within a few days, the minister fell ill and died. Later, this man's younger brother asked King Zhuang for a reward, saying that his brother had learned from ancient books that the person who shot the pheasant would die in less than three months, and he took the pheasant to die instead of King Zhuang. King Zhuang sent someone to check, and there was indeed such a statement in the ancient books. We know that taboos arise from worship, and this worship is mainly caused by the psychology of reverence and awe. Therefore, in addition to the fear that it will bring bad luck, people often hope that it will bring good luck to people with its extraordinary magical power. Because of this contradictory duality, there are many completely opposite dualities. For example, the Book of Jin says that shooting a robin can avoid disaster; In the song "Crying in the Night", the crow's cry becomes an auspicious omen; In "Drama Talks", the owl becomes the bird of the annunciation; In folklore, the rat's tooth gnawing is considered a harbinger of wealth, and in "Maoting Hakka", the arrival of the rainbow lizard becomes a precursor to promotion; In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the arrival of the male pheasant also became a precursor to promotion. This contradictory phenomenon was interpreted by the ancients as "either God prosper, or God perish".

In ancient times, it was forbidden to slaughter cultivated cattle for the purpose of developing production, and on the other hand, because the taboo of eating cattle had existed for a long time. "Customs and Customs" said that not only is it forbidden to eat beef, but it is even taboo to say the word cow. There are many theories that eating beef can cause you to die of a bad disease, or even turn into a cow and be slaughtered after death. Agricultural production is inseparable from cattle, so there is this prohibition. At the same time, the ox was also worshipped as an ancestor, and unlike the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, the people who worshipped the dragon and the ox belonged to the same totem family. "Liezi" said that Fuxi and Nuwa are the head of the snake body and the ox, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has the saying of "Kui Niu", and even in May of the sixth year of Xianfeng, the two-headed snake in Poyang County was seen. On the eighth day of the fifth month of the seventh year, the wind and rain of Zeng's pond in Laifeng County came suddenly, there was something long and long, riding the wind into the pond, resembling a cow, the body was equipped with five colors, the eyes were burning and bright, and the water was spraying...... can prove this.

Double-headed, giant, horned, winged...... The further mystification of these taboo snakes sublimated into dragons. For example, in African mythology, there is a creature that resembles a dragon. But he has two heads and can go in two different directions at the same time. When one head sleeps, the other will wake up to guard its eggs. It feeds on ants, has a scaly body, chicken feet, feather wings, moves as fast as lightning, and can be rejoined after being split in half, in early church frescoes, the second head is on its tail, and in some drawings, the two-headed snake also has wings and chicken feet. Pliny, a Roman sage who lived in the first century A.D., said that the best cure for a cold was to wrap a dead two-headed snake or its skin around a person's body. He also told the world that if a dead two-headed snake was nailed to a tree that was about to be cut down, the logger would not feel cold and the tree would be cut down more easily. It means "to go in two directions at once" in Greek, and is now used in honor of the scientific name of a legless lizard in South America.

I think that the Yellow Emperor didn't let the Son of Heaven do it, looking for seclusion everywhere, worshipping gods and immortals, and asking about immortality, there is always a bit of a lack of people's hearts and the meaning of snakes swallowing elephants, so there are many people who hate him. It is said that the Yellow Emperor's looting methods are really powerful, what "Three Emperors' Inner Text", "Nine Directions", "Shenzhi Tu" ...... The practice secrets of the various major sects were all in his hands. As a result, it aroused the public indignation of the first batch of Gu Immortals, and later he went to Mount Emei to ask for a meeting with the innocent emperor, wanting to learn the way of the true one, but he didn't expect this innocent brother to not give face, and replied coldly: "You have become an emperor, you don't lack anything, and you still want to live forever, it's a little too greedy, right?" ”

The Yellow Emperor came to cultivate immortals, that is naturally the wealth of the law and land, after he carefully studied the cheats, he sent people to mine the wind grinding copper ore in the first mountain, and cast Jiuding under Jing Mountain. After building the Great Ding and refining it into an elixir, it means that the cultivation of immortals is successful, so the heavens sent a dragon down to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode on the dragon, and more than 70 of his ministers, wives, and second wives also climbed up - the book was full, and the dragon began to take off. Other lower-level courtiers don't have tickets to become immortals, but their hearts for immortals are not weak at all, and they grab the dragon's whiskers one by one, even if they hang them, they have to hang them to the sky. Looking at this formation, it is somewhat similar to the time when some Chinese people rushed to the US imperialists to wash the dishes. It can also be seen that the genus of the dragon and snake, which had been purged at that time, was once again linked to the imperial power and made a comeback.

This is also forced to be helpless, because the once-in-a-millennium flood has returned, and the dragon and snake have sacrificed their lives and forgotten to die in the water control, and have made great contributions. In particular, the hero of water control Yu established the Xia Dynasty of the new human race, Yu is an important figure in the flood control in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Yu" is his name, "Shangshu Commentary" three said: "Yu biography, said Wen life, permeated in the four seas. Sima Qian's "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" contains: "Emperor Yu is another name for the Xia Queen, and his surname is Xi's." Yu's surname is Wenming, Yu's father's name is Kun, Kun's father's name is 颛顼, Zhuan's father's name is Changyi, and Changyi's father is Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Yu's mother is a female name of the Xin family, or a female Zhi, a female hip. According to "Historical Records Suoyin", "Liwei" said: "Yu's mother cultivates herself, and swallows coix for the birth of Yu, because of her surname Ji's."

Yu is the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, from the Yellow Emperor to Yu, a total of five generations, all with the same surname and different countries. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea" contains: "The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse, and the white horse is a cang. The "Kun" here is the father of Dayu. Wang Jia's "Collected Memories" said that when he died, he "turned into a yellow bear", or "turned into a fish." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" also contains "Kun Fusheng Yu", "Fu" is "posthumous child". Therefore, the volume of "Wu Yue Chunqiu: Wuyu Biography" said that Yu's mother "cut the coercion" and gave birth to Yu. And Dayu "is a worm in the valley, and a dragon out of the valley". According to "Da Dai Li Zeng Zi Tianyuan": "The essence of the feather insect is called the phoenix, the essence of the insect is called the turtle, and the essence of the scale insect is called the dragon." The insect of scales, the highest level is the dragon. Even "Shuowen" said: "Yu, insects also". In ancient times, the common name of the beast was called the worm, and Xu Shen trained Yu as an insect according to this.

The oracle bone inscription has the word Yu, and the curve of the word "arrow" is a poisonous snake, and the horizontal one is a wooden stick with a stick, which means that the wooden stick beats the snake. The shape of the small seal (Yu) character is still in the shape of a snake, and the shape of the wooden stick has become more complex. The character of Kaishu Yu is derived from the small seal. "Jade Chapter: Insect Department" said: "Worms, Yu insects also." Therefore, in myths and legends, in 2070 BC, Yu killed the general Xiangliu, which was turned into a dragon fighting method. Gonggong has always been ambitious, and before Gonggong was angry and hit his head against the pillar that supported the world in the mountains, causing the world to tilt to the southeast. "Historical Records Supplement to the Three Emperors": "The princes have a Gonggong clan, and Ren Zhi is punished by being a strong bully but not a king; Riding wood with water is a battle with Zhu Rong. If you are not victorious and angry, your head will not touch the landslide, the heavenly pillar will break, and the earth will be lacking. After that, the Gonggong continued to make trouble, bringing about the outbreak of floods, and was finally suppressed by Yu, and the flood control was successful.

"Overseas North Classic": The minister of the Gonggong said Xiang Liu's family, nine songs, to eat in the nine mountains. Where the willows arrive, it is Zexi. Yu kills the willow, its blood, can not be planted with grains. Yu Juzhi, three thousand and three frustrated, is thought to be the platform of the emperors. "The Great Wilderness North Classic": The name of the Gonggong minister is called Xiangxiang, the body of the nine snakes, the self-ring, and the food in the nine soils. The place where it is is the source of Ze, not hard but hard, and the beasts can not deal with it. Yu annihilation flood, killing each other, its bloody stench, can not grow valley. The land is watery and uninhabitable. Yu annihilated, three and three depressed, thought it was a pool, and the emperors thought it was a platform. In the north of Kunlun. Xiangliu gods or people, ministers of co-workers, nine human faces, snake body and green face, dare not shoot north, afraid of the platform of co-workers. There are ruins of the Imperial Terrace in the swamp, and to this day the archers do not dare to shoot to the north, because they are in awe of the Gonggong Bench where Gonggong Welling is located.

Xiangliu is also known as Xiangyu, the minister of the Gonggong clan, and the fierce god of ancient times. According to the records of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the North", it is inferred that after the defeat of the coalition forces of Chiyou, Dongyi and the Gonggong clan, Houqing went into exile. Gonggong was disheartened for a while, and ordered the relict of Houqing to succeed to the throne, Houtu was in charge of national affairs, and Xiangliu and Wuzhiqi were in charge of military and political affairs. Xiangliu and Wuzhiqi teamed up to squeeze out the Houtu lineage, and it was precisely because of the change of the Deaf Clan that Houtu fled to establish the Youdu. Xiang Liu and Wuzhi Qi hijacked the magic weapon, inherited the will of the co-workers and continued to make trouble. During the Yao Shun period, the main battle faction of the Gonggong Group represented by the Lieshuqi was one of the four sins. Later, Ji Yu took the Feng clan as a guide and recruited Hebo Fengyi. Xiang Liu was furious and called on the Tianwu brothers and sisters, Jiang Su, Lie Que and others to raise an army to crusade against the rebellion. Hebo Fengyi fell into a heavy siege, and Lingguxu, the commander of the water control army appointed by Ji Yu, skillfully dispatched, and Kui Long and Baxia, who sent Nuwa reinforcements, used the contradictions between Xiangliu, Tianwu and others to break through each of them.

Ji Yu on the periphery was alone and personally met Tianwu, Jiang Su and Lieqing, causing them to retreat. The army of Xiangliu was broken up and fled alone. Ji Yu personally pursued and killed Xiang Liu next to the swamp. After the death of Xiangliu, its blood stinks, the land that flows through the grain does not grow, and the saliva that flows out when dying has formed a huge venom swamp, Yu fills the swamp three times but collapses three times, so he has to open up a large pool that is clean and build a palace pavilion for the emperors by the pool, called the platform of the emperors. This battle may also be said to be contained in the "Chinese Lu Yu": The uncle of the Gonggong clan has nine you. Bo Jiu has that is, the hegemony of the continent. In fact, it is said that the Gonggong clan was once the overlord of the mainland, that is, a leader of the Central Plains Tribal Alliance. This reflects the fact that the nine clans lived in nine places, and the Gonggong clan was the primacy among them. The Gonggong clan lived in Hui County, southern Henan Province in later generations, and the place of long-term activity was the Yishui and Luoshui basins in the western part of present-day southern Henan. This place was called the continent in ancient times, probably from the legend of the Hydra of the Gonggong clan. Later, there was also a continental Rong in the mountains to the west, which was probably continued by the remnants of the Gonggong clan.

Gonggong died without repentance, and continued to rebel in the dynasty of the Yellow Emperor's successor, Zhuan, and was defeated by Dayu sent by Zhuan, Zhuan, the descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, this war is actually a continuation of the Dragon and Snake War. Since Xia Yu is also a dragon species, and "Wu Yue Chunqiu" says that Xia Yu married Tu Shan, a member of the fox totem. "Reading Wei Caotang Notes" said that there is a fox temple in Taigu County, Shanxi. "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Wang Heizong" said: "There is Lingying Gong Temple in the east of the city, there are caves next to it, a group of foxes are in place, and the demons and witches are coerced by it for people to be a blessing and a curse, and the people believe in it, and pray for the flood and drought and epidemic, and the folk language is the sound of the 'fox'." So the fox is also a totem, and it is also related to the dragon totem. Become the promiscuity of the fox fairy in later generations.

And Dayu's control of the water is very similar to a scene in Hittite mythology, and the record is a scene in Hittite mythology in which Taishub, the god of the sky and storms, kills the giant serpent Ilukyanka. A cuneiform tablet excavated from the Hittite capital of Hatush features a sphinx of Chorumboazkoy carved against the backdrop of a Hittite ritual. The origin of the name Iluyanka may be a compound word, consisting of two parts – both parts meaning "snake" in Proto-Indo-European. The two identical parts of the word are inverted, and these two parts appear in Latin American Anguilla, and the affix is cognate with the English language, and the affix is derived from Laivan Ayi. So the legend is that in the struggle between the god of the storm and the dragon king Ilukana, Ilukyanka won a great victory.

So Ilukyanka took away the eyes and heart of Taishub, the Silver Moon: as the price of defeat, it can also be interpreted as taking away the divine power of the god of storms. Taishub asks for help from Inarashi, the goddess of Hera. In return, she had Taishub promise him that he would acknowledge Inarashi's love for a mortal. Ina Rush hatches a trap for Iluyanka. She asked Taishub to prepare a large amount of food and wine, and to worship the dragon king on the night of the silver moon and lure the dragon king to drink. The dragon king swept away the tribute and was drunk like mud. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly tied up Iluyanka with a rope.

The god of the storm, Taishub, gathered the other gods to kill Iluyanka. Folklore is even more thrilling, and in order to take revenge on Ilukyanka, who defeated him, the god of storms, Taishub, married a goddess born to a mortal. They had a son, and when he grew up, he was going to marry the daughter of the dragon king Ilukana. The god of the storm, Tayshub, told his son to give his eyes and heart as a bride price, and the son did so. With this, the eyes and heart of the storm gods returned to their masters, and Teshub challenged the dragon king Ilukyanka once more. Miko finally realizes the war between them, and he discovers that he is being used by his father. Choosing to side with Iluyanka, as he could not give up his wife, in the end, Taishub killed the dragon king Iluyanka and his son with a storm and lightning.

This version appears in related artifacts from Malatya, displayed at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara, Turkey. In 1930, this Hittite myth was made public, and the battle between Taishub and Ilukyanka and Zeus and the giant serpent Typhon, the similarities with the trickery myth of the Japanese Yagi Orochi and Susanoo, and even the dragon and snake romance of Dayu to control the water have been very obvious, even if the Hittite mythology has not yet been fully discovered and deciphered...... And this cannot but be reminiscent of the relationship between the Great Flood and the myth of the dragon and snake. After all, behind Dayu's water control, it was Nuwa who endorsed it and tried her best to prevent the ancient gods from harming the world. Defeat the Communist Party to stop the flood, cut the Xuan Turtle to make up the heavenly pillar, descend the green dragon and subdue the white tiger, and chase the evil star to eliminate the evil god. In later generations, there was a poem that praised 'the serpentine Ji, the body of the Holy Spirit.' Kill the wind demon in the western frontier, and kill the thunder god in the eastern sea. The South Mountain collects the earth demons, and the North Wilderness ambushes the fire monsters. In the end, the flood will be calmed, and the earth will be reborn. Since then, the genus of the dragon and snake has taken the essence of the five elements as the name of the vote, which has solved the problems left over from history.

Of course, in the animal kingdom of that era, man was already the spirit of all things, and the dragon had changed from the former overlord of the world to the leader of mere scaly insects. These four belong to the spirits who enjoy the treatment of immortals, and at most they are the representatives of public opinion in the animal world. The phoenix, the unicorn, and the turtle have no special abilities, but according to Zhuangzi's theory, they are "useless uses", but they don't need to do chores, as long as they are used as auspicious cheers when the emperor needs them. And because the dragon has the skill of raining, even if he becomes the dragon king, he is still a hard worker in his bones. Although I used to be a driver for the leader, I still can't compare with the secretary. Unlike other immortals, they are basically not involved in taking university exams, recruiting jobs, and promoting cadres. To put it mildly, its status may also have a fight with the unpopular "Bi Ma Wen".

Some dragons are really boring in the sky, and they will secretly descend to earth. At this time, Haotian God was not polite again, and Thor was immediately in charge of arresting. Escaped dragons generally hide in the woods or in the rooms of Confucianism, and when the thunder god is arrested, he often destroys houses and trees, and after being caught, he is extradited back to the heavenly realm for punishment. A few Thor are also suspected of excessive violence like the US imperialist police, often killing the dragon on the spot, and people say that this is "taking the dragon from heaven". This is an immortal tribulation, it is simply a high-level slave. Fundamentally, dragons who can't walk freely when they enter the system are a little better than ordinary spirits by virtue of their skills, and they can often contact the high-level. Therefore, the appearance of the dragon often indicates the advent or favor of the gods, in the eyes of the ancients, the dragon is only as a magical symbol, and its own divinity is really relatively limited. To use an inappropriate analogy, on the eve of an earthquake, animals often have abnormal phenomena, such as chickens flying and dogs jumping, but these visions themselves are not earthquakes, let alone the cause of earthquakes.

And the dragon and snake parted from each other, and the dragon was sacred, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the divine right of the monarch and the god-making movement of the dynasties. For example, there are many legends that Liu Bang can be the emperor. The most popular is the burial of Liu Bangzu to the treasure land of feng shui. Liu Bang was born in Fengyi, Pei County, Xuzhou. His grandfather's name was Liu Qing, from the capital of Wei to Daliang in present-day Kaifeng, Henan, moved here, and the village where he lived was called "Jin Liu Zhuang" by the world. I don't know when a plane tree grew in front of the Liu family's house, and this tree grew into a towering tree with lush branches in a few years. One day when the wind was blowing, a golden phoenix flew in and built a nest in the tree. Later, the golden phoenix flew away, which was very strange, and Liu Qing also died of illness. The family cut down the sycamore tree and gave Liu Qing a coffin. When he was about to be buried, the weather that had been fine suddenly changed, with wind and rain, lightning and thunder. But as soon as the coffin left the house and could not be carried back, it temporarily stopped next to the pit of the plane tree.

When the mourners came to carry the coffin again after the rain stopped, they found that the coffin was missing, and a grave appeared on the plane tree pit. People saw that the head of the grave was actually a black pressed ant, busy carrying soil to the grave. This is the legend of Liu Bang's ancestral tomb "Phoenix Point Point" and "Ant Round Tomb". This matter is naturally a second-party statement after Liu Bang became the emperor. Not to mention China, the Red Dragon, a landmark in Wales, for example, is a symbol of the ethnicity. In Celtic mythology, there are two places where the red dragon is recorded, one is "Mabinogion - The Tale of Lut and Leva", during the reign of King Lut, there was a terrible scream every May that caused men to lose their strength, women to miscarry, young people to lose their reason, animals to be infertile, land to be barren, and plants to wither. King Lut turned to his brother, King Levis of France. Li Wa told him that due to the fierce battle between the red dragon and the foreign white dragon, it was the red dragon's cry of pain.

Later, King Lut took Lew's advice and dug a deep pit in the center of Britain, filled it with honey, and covered it with cloth. In the evening, when the two dragons were tired, they went into the pit and drank honey. So Ruth took advantage of the dragon's sleep to wrap them in cloth, put them in a sarcophagus, and buried them in Slovenia. The other is the document "Britannia in History", the king of Britain was originally the grandfather of King Arthur of Constantine II, and after his death, he was regent of Vötigen. The Scots and Picots in the north took advantage of the opportunity. If you are defeated, you will invite the Saxons from your hometown to help. The leader of the Saxons, named Hanyes, married his daughter to Votiggen, but secretly ambushed and killed all the 300 nobles of Votigeng at the wedding banquet, and only Votigeng escaped.

So the Han Ye Eagle occupied the magpie's nest, and King Vantigeng wanted to build a castle to fight against the above-mentioned place where the dragon was buried, but the raw materials used to build the city would disappear inexplicably in the middle of the night every day. His think tank told him that he needed to find a boy born of a virgin, sacrifice him, and spill his blood on the foundations of the castle so that the construction could begin. King Votigon found such a boy, who would later be Merlin. The boy denied the think tank's claims and told the king about the two dragons. The king ordered the ground to be dug up, and sure enough, two sleeping snakes, one red and one white, were found. The snake woke up and continued to fight, at first the white snake had the upper hand, then the red snake turned the defeat into victory, and the white snake fled. The boy said that the red and white snakes were actually two dragons, the white dragon representing the Saxons and the red dragon representing the king's people, and prophesied that the king's people would drive out the Saxons. It was only after the death of Hyaes that the father of King Arthur, incarnated by Amberrose and his brother Beaulies, raised an army from Gaul, defeated the Saxons, and restored the throne. In order to commemorate the three hundred nobles who were killed, King Votigeng searched for strange stones to make monuments, but he was not allowed. The wizard Merlin found a national treasure for the King of Ireland, called: Hanging Stone.

This hanging stone was originally quarried from Africa, is the relics of the giant clan that ruled the world at the beginning of chaos, a total of 9981 pieces, called the "Dance of the Giants", this dance hides the mystery of a long-lost sect ritual, has the effect of turning decay into magic. Immediately, King Uther sent an army against Ireland, and the king of Ireland was defeated, so he asked Merlin to cast a spell to transport the hanging stone back to Britain. The daughter of King Uther, Arthur's father, the dragon god and Arthur's half-sister, Morgana, later married a prince of Norway and gave birth to the hero Gavin Knight. But before that, unknowingly, he fell in love with Arthur when they first met, and later found out that they were siblings, and legend has it that when Mordred was born, Merlin predicted that the child would threaten Arthur's throne, so Arthur put the baby on the sea, but Mordred miraculously survived, Arthur remorsefully accepted Mordred.

King Uther, the god of the dragon, took advantage of the auspicious omen of the dragon flying to the throne, and immediately defeated the Saxons, and set up a banquet in London to reward his courtiers. At the banquet, Panlong saw that the third brother, the wife of the Duke of Cornwall, Yiglin, was beautiful and outstanding, and Panlong fell in love at first sight. The duke noticed that he and his wife said goodbye. Panlong was furious, and raised troops to defeat Panlong for a long time, so he immediately asked Merlin to cast a spell, and Yucheng did this. Yiglin was pregnant with King Arthur, the dragon of England, and after Arthur gave birth, she was taken away by Merlin. Soon, Panlong was killed by the regent King Fu Tigeng, poisoned to death, and his brother was buried in the hanging stone henge, which is the "Dance of the Giants". King Arthur drew his sword in the stone, took the throne with the help of Merlin, and formed the Knights of the Round Table, which became the predecessor of the knightly class...... However, what future generations are talking about is the story that King Arthur, Queen Gwynaville, and the first heroic knight under his command, Lancelot's love triangle have to tell...... It has even become the source of countless knightly legends.

Lancelot, known as the Flower of Knights, was the queen of King Solomon of Israel. Therefore, all heroes in the world are admired. Ladies and ladies wept for him. During the knighthood ceremony, Arthur carelessly forgot to equip him with a sword, and Queen Gwynaville was careful and stepped forward to hand him the sword. Lancelot looked up and looked at each other, his heart for the first time was occupied by the Queen. As the "Yangtze River Knight", he is a beautiful man with long blond hair, blue eyes, handsome appearance, and confused eyes, which is very charming. Gentle and considerate, respectful of women, and good at getting along with women, it can be said that she is the most perfect lover image of women. The tragic end of the saga is this: the queen and Lancelot's love affair is finally officially announced, Arthur also issues an arrest warrant, and during their tryst, 12 more knights go to assassinate them, only to be killed, and Lancelot takes the opportunity to flee and break with the Knights of the Round Table.

Later, the queen was burned at the stake, and Lancelot led his comrades to the execution ground to rescue them, and was invincible, "all those who resisted them were killed, and all the good knights who were armed in arms were immediately killed as soon as they fought", rescued the queen, and relied on his own territory to resist Arthur's conquest. Later, under the mediation of the Pope, he reconciled with Arthur, and was forced to return to the queen by honor, because according to the records, he had always denied his personal relationship with the queen in public, and led his knights to leave England and rule the whole of France, and then fought with Arthur, Arthur's nephew or illegitimate son Mordred took the throne when Arthur crossed the sea to conquer, Arthur in the contest with Lancelot, suddenly heard that the illegitimate son rebelled and robbed the queen, and hurriedly returned to the division with the intention of fighting the rebel.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Sir Gavin, the nephew of Arthur who had been killed in battle, must wait until he reconciles with Lancelot and returns to help before he can fight the rebel. Arthur summoned the one-armed general Bedwell to negotiate peace with Mordred in order to secure a month's recuperation. The two sides met, negotiated the terms, and when the peace talks were completed, a viper jumped out of the grass in the meeting place, and stung the heel of one of the attendants, and the entourage saw that there was a snake and didn't think about it, and drew the sword at his waist. Arthur sighed: God doesn't help me, but what! Then the father and son fought a decisive battle, and the result of the battle was that the two died together, Bedwell threw his sword, and the three goddesses took Arthur's body to Avalon Island to rest for rebirth. History records "Arthur and Mordred died, and a plague fell from heaven". Knowing that everything was on her own, the queen blamed herself and became a nun after her husband's death. When Lancelot returned to England to find her, she refused to accompany Lancelot, although she fainted three times due to agitation. In desperation, Lancelot also became a monk, and the two never saw each other again until their deaths. It really starts with a dragon and a snake and ends with a snake kiss.

Another example is Saletis, a harmless green snake revered by the Prussians on the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea in the Indo-European language family. It was the Lithuanian goddess of the grass snake and a symbol of fertility. Its prophetic power is seen as a divine mission. As a symbol of fertility, it appears in every house: under the bed, in the corner, and even on the table. It is the favorite animal of the goddess Sala, and Saletis is guarded by the sun goddess Sala, so killing Saletis is blasphemous. Seeing the death of Saletis, the goddess wept in grief and shed tears, and the red berries that spread all over the mountains were her tears. The inhabitants of the Baltic Sea pay homage to her with jugs or spoons, and she illuminates the water with a golden glow.

It was not until 1387, when Lithuania and Poland united, that the Teutonic Knights swept through Lithuania and forced the inhabitants to convert to Nestorianism. So Saletis became another mysterious animal that brought wealth to people...... The tail has a second head, hatched from the eggs laid by the rooster, and has the body of a lizard, the head of the rooster, and the feathers or the wings of a flying snake...... Chicken snake, a glowing, flight-capable Saletis. In 1387, after the Lithuanian peasants were forced to convert to Nestorianism, they continued to worship the little green serpent, believing that in folklore it meant that they were going to marry or have children. And because of its purported ability to turn enemies to stone with its gaze, the Teutonic Knights were considered quite fearsome as a shield with such a coat of arms. This custom indicates that the prehistoric worship of snakes still survives.

Coincidentally, Beddington and Christie of Hampshire, England, say that in a dark dungeon at Wellwell Abbey, a toad hatched from a rooster's egg as a strange beast, initially an object of curiosity, but after a few years it became a greedy monster that only eats human flesh. Four acres of land were offered as a bounty to those who were able to kill the monster, and many brave people died while attempting the mission. Eventually, a skilled craftsman named Grimm sharpened a polished mirror out of steel and placed it in the Chicken Snake's underground den, where the Snake saw his image as an enemy and wounded himself during the battle with the mirror, and finally collapsed from exhaustion. In order to avoid the murderous gaze of the chicken snake, Green half-crouched into the dungeon and killed the chicken snake with his spear. Strangely enough, for many years, the people of Wivell could not be persuaded to eat an egg ....... The four-acre plot in a maple forest is famous, and it's known as Grimm's Acres. The chicken snake that once hung on the cross at the spire of St. Peter's Church in Whivel is now in the Andover Museum.

Of course, in modern society, the ancient sacred dissolves, such as the phoenix fetus is a famous dish in the Tang Jinshi roast tail banquet. Although this dish is actually made with the pancreas of fish, which is what the world calls "fish white" steamed egg custard, the eggs used here are not ordinary eggs, but the "eggs" that have not yet matured in the hen's body. The specific method is to chop the fish finely, stir it in the egg and steam it. Spread to modern times, this dish is also called fish white steamed egg custard, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are also new dishes in Sichuan cuisine. The method is similar, but ordinary eggs are used, and the name is considered too straightforward, not as sentimental as the phoenix fetus of the Tang Dynasty. And the emperor and the general are even more taboo-free, for example, the perfect old man Qianlong boasted of his elegance all his life, and the eunuchs and royal literati around him created many auspicious and gorgeous names for the dishes in order to cater to Qianlong's preferences, such as the phoenix lying in the snow, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the palace gate is desecrated, the snow is cold and autumn, the dragon and the phoenix admire the moon, the jade lion and the green pine, the snow moon peach blossom, etc., which are very poetic, but they are also full of dirt and sacred.

However, according to the US imperialist "National Geographic", there is indeed a two-headed snake in the world! Gerdon Berghardt, an expert specializing in herpetology at the University of Tennessee, said. It is common to hear every few years that someone has spotted a two-headed snake. Berghardt had studied two-headed snakes well, and he had studied many of them before. Two-headed snakes are not as rare as one might think. There is a two-headed snake named Sylma and Louis, which was bred by Craig Tremball in the 80s of the 20th century and later sent to the San Diego Zoo in California. It used to give birth to 15 normal snakes before it died.

"It's interesting when you watch two-headed snakes eat, they're very aggressive when they eat, and their heads are constantly swallowing the food they catch, and it takes a long time," Berghardt said. Because they have great difficulty in deciding which direction to move, and they have to react quickly to an attack, but they have a hard time doing so, because they have two heads commanding at the same time. "Scientists believe that this is due to the fact that both heads of the two-headed snake are hungry almost at the same time, and both heads are interested in the same food." Living in the wild with two heads is a big obstacle," agrees with Professor James Bedman of the University of Arizona, "Two-headed snakes have a particularly difficult time catching food. ”

Arizona is the home of a two-headed snake king, which was discovered when it was a small snake, and at Arizona State University, the two-headed snake lived for nearly 17 years, and can be called the two-headed snake king. Even if the two-headed snake is kept in lock-ups, there are many problems. Two-headed snakes generally act with their sense of smell, and if one head smells its prey, the other will attack, and when it catches its prey, the second head will swallow the prey. The two heads must cooperate with each other to catch the prey. Overall, Berghardt said, the two heads of the two-headed snake will work together quite well. Sylma and Luis, the two-headed snake that lives at the Sanctuary Igo Zoo, is a good example of this. The snake's growth is not much different from that of a normal snake, and its ability to hunt is comparable to that of two heads. Is it possible to combine two two-headed snakes to give birth to a two-headed snake, or is there a higher chance of giving birth to a two-headed snake than in other cases? This is not very certain at this time.

"These animals should not be seen as deformed," Berghardt said. Like other species, they are dynamic organisms with their own characteristics. This provides an excellent opportunity to study how two nervous systems coordinate and control the same body. Through this research, we can also further address the survival of conjoined babies. This kind of two-headed snake is similar to the original two-headed snake in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which makes us wonder if the existence of the two-headed snake shows that the mythical two-headed monster was formed under the basic concept of reality. If so, under what circumstances?

The Beishan Jing and the Dongshan Jing are relatively simple and simple, and do not deify those prehistoric animals, but only mention them slightly, which are no different from common animals; However, the overseas Northern Classics and the Great Wilderness Northern Classics are more deified, and the records are really detailed and full and incredible, which is incompatible with the concept of the author of the Mountain Classics, which shows that the authors of the Mountain Classics and the Sea Classics are not a person, and they are considered to be the summaries made by the Chu or Bashu people from the middle and late Warring States period to the early and middle Han Dynasty, as reasonable as the Gao E's sequel to "Dream of Red Mansions". The Book of Mountains is trying its best to describe the images and uses of mountains and rivers, gold and jade, animals and plants, sacrificial methods and ancient gods. The Book of the Sea completely abandoned the description of geography, minerals, flora and fauna, and sacrificial methods. Its narrative style is similar to that of the narrative and the writing, but the descriptions of birds and beasts are basically true, but due to the lack of vocabulary, a lot of patchwork concepts have been created.

The snake tail, the human tongue can speak, the human face and the fish body, or a poem of ten bodies may be false, such as a few strange horned animals in the Xishan Sutra. In the mountain of Gaotu, there is a beast, its shape is like a deer and a white tail, the horse's feet are human hands and four horns, and the name is called the baby of the horse. In the mountain of Zhongqu, there is a beast, its shape is like a horse and the white body and black tail, a corner, tiger teeth and claws, the sound is like a drum, its name is called Majiao, it is a tiger and leopard, and it can be a soldier. In the mountain of three dangers, its shape is like a cow, white body, four horns, its pride is like a cloth, its name is called Ao Tongyin, it is a cannibal. Quadrangular animals are not uncommon, and there are extant Asian quadrangular antelopes, although all four horns of the quadrault are very short. Another example is the elk, in fact, the elk has two horns, but its horns are bifurcated at the base, so it is easy to be mistaken for four horns; In fact, these animals are not strange in terms of shape, but it is a bit strange to say that they eat people and tigers and leopards, and such a large number of horned man-eating animals is really a difficult mystery to solve. And so on, which is understandable in modern society. After all, genetic mutations caused by environmental pollution can produce all kinds of strange animals, and if the imperial court opens the ban, biologists can disrupt genetic recombination like "Resident Evil", and almost any strange animal can be produced.

From this point of view, most of the strange creatures in the Shanjing are understandable, or they are misunderstood due to the lack of vocabulary and the vagueness of patchwork analogies; Or because the concept is not clear, insects are regarded as birds and beasts; Or because of genetic mutations, there really are four 16-legged conjoined cats, four-legged ducks, three-legged frogs, two-headed snakes, and hermaphroditic polar bears. In general, the description of animals in the Book of Shan is true and credible, and only a small part of the world cannot explain it. The difficulty is that to this day, news such as three-legged chickens and two-headed snakes are often reported. It cannot but be said that it is the result of genetic mutations in post-industrial society. It is important to know that excessive use of chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, etc., which causes environmental pollution and even electromagnetic radiation, may cause this genetic mutation. But how could this be possible in prehistory......

What's more, there is a terrifying beast in the Eastern Four Classics, "Taishan, there is a beast, its shape is like a white head, a glance and a snake tail, its name is called a dragon, the water is exhausted, the grass is dead, and the world is plagued," This is an animal that is more terrifying than the Queen Mother of the West, and the grass is dead, and it can be said that the animal is highly poisonous, or it is too edible and other reasons, but how to explain the exhaustion of this line of water? If it is a slow evaporation, the ancients could not have observed it. The small meteorite can make the water dry up immediately, that is because of the high temperature, but what kind of creature exists and what ability can run the water out, and this animal, Shanjing didn't think it was very strange, and he couldn't even get the title of a divine beast monster. The abundance of biological variations, the woolly rhinoceros that has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and the armadillos unique to the Americas are all showing the world a strange age, as if our ancestors were much older than the world imagined, and the knowledge was much broader.

Thinking wildly, without delaying the movements of my hands, I saw that the situation was critical, and hurriedly threw out the saber in my hand, hitting the head of the double-headed snake, and the double-headed snake roared and fell into the water, and only a piece of blood red appeared on the surface of the water.

"Look at the fight!" The shield-wielding mercenary shouted, raised the blast-proof shield in his hand and slapped the double-headed snake in the water, but instead of stopping the double-headed snake, his actions angered the two-headed snake, and it slammed into the raft, lifting the raft high and flying into the air.

"Ahh Everyone on the raft let out an exclamation almost at the same time, and then fell off the raft.

With a few thuds, everyone fell into the icy water, and I shivered a few times at the biting cold, and as soon as I rose to the surface, I began to swim vigorously. Following them, everyone else jumped down, and the raft was already empty.

Although I can swim, I have never tried this kind of high diving, but who can take care of this in this crisis. The resistance of people in the water is much greater than on the ground, when the hands and feet move in the water, you must be able to feel the strong resistance, I am obviously too confident in myself, I poured a few mouthfuls of cold river water, I was held by the Shi Ling people's weak waist, sliding in the water.

"Ahh Giant Serpent"! Behind him, the other people who jumped down were in a mess and screamed. In the darkness, a black figure swam among these people, and in a few moments, it swallowed all those who were still shouting just now. That bloody mouth can swallow an adult man in one bite.

"Shiling people, the snake is coming"! I was stunned by the approaching black shadow, and I told the story straight.

"Swim ashore! Fast! It was the mercenary with the broken arm who shouted, he was still alive and shouted loudly, holding You Murong Hero to save the beauty in one hand, and brandishing a saber in the other.

At this time, more of the mercenary companions seemed to have been frightened by the two-headed snakes that surrounded them, and they only knew to hold on to the arms of the nearby mercenaries, but they couldn't do anything.

"Oh God, help me!" The blast shield in the shield mercenary was gone, and he swam extremely fast under the threat of death.

I saw You Murong pull out the saber from his back again and throw it at the double-headed snake in the water, but the double-headed snake was in the water, and most of the saber's power was offset by the water, and it was difficult to cause damage to the two-headed snake at all.

A wave of water chased after the broken-arm mercenary and You Murong, and the broken-arm mercenary gritted his teeth, took You Murong's hand away, and shouted: "Swim to the shore, swim quickly!" He pushed You Murong out, and then used the saber in his hand to cut a bloody mark on his arm, and the strong smell of blood led the chasing two-headed snake towards him at once.

"Come on, you satan-raised, you ruined my team, you ate my brothers, you ate my arms, come on, now destroy me!"

The huge body of the two-headed snake drew an arc in the water, like an arrow and rushed towards the severed-arm mercenary, the broken-arm mercenary was bare-eyed, and the saber in his hand was thrust down, bringing out a piece of blood, but then he was swept up by the two-headed snake: the two-headed snake seemed to be enraged by him, it tightly wrapped around the severed arm mercenary, and then opened its mouth, two fangs bit fiercely on the head of the severed arm mercenary, and the blood on the head of the severed arm mercenary continued to flow, flowing into the river, dyeing the river red. Then the whole person was dragged into the murky water!

"Oh my God!" You Murong seemed to be awakened by the death of the mercenary with a broken arm, she slapped the water hard, swam towards the shore, and finally swam to the shore.

The shield-wielding mercenary pulled the wood, clinging to the wood, and watched with a pale face as the double-headed snake in the river swallowed the severed-arm mercenary, shook it a few times, and then scolded: "You damn Satan's ......." He scolded all the slang words in the slums, which was unbearable, but no one would stop him.

The two-headed snake has discovered the direct lethality of one bite at a time, and is now suffocating its prey by winding and then swallowing it alive, and the muddy river water is a good place to hide its huge snake body. Everyone is swimming desperately, it doesn't matter if you can't swim the big snake, just be faster than your companions!

Suddenly! The river around me suddenly shook violently! The murky river splashed in all directions. Splash as far as the shore!

The double-headed snake, thicker than a bucket, jumped up from the bottom of the river, bringing a huge splash of water, and the splash of water blocked my view, and when the water droplet fell, the body of one of the nearby mercenaries had already been half filled by the snake, and the double-headed snake raised its head upward, and swallowed all the mercenaries who had taken its mouth as food. During the swallowing, I could still see the protrusion of the double-headed snake's belly.

The other mercenary was no better than the mercenary just now, his head was bitten by the other head of the two-headed snake, which was smaller than the head of the two-headed snake just now, and then his leg was swallowed by the other head of the two-headed snake to the base of his thigh, and his side waist was rolled up by the snake's body. The two heads were pulled in opposite directions, and the man's head was swallowed into the abdomen by the two-headed snake head on top of the head, and the blood sprayed from the neck was stained red.

In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of his existence nearby, and even the pool of blood was obscured by several traces of water.

But I didn't have the heart to die and the fox was sad, and the moment my feet felt the stinging pain, I had already released the power of the magnetic field in an instant, and waved the saber in my hand to slash at the head of the double-headed snake! But the double-headed snake is familiar with the water, and the streamlined design also slows down the resistance in the water, and the body vigorously shakes me in the big mouth! I yelled that it was not good, and for a while, I entered a state of yin god.

I seemed to separate another self, able to clearly observe every detail of the fierce battle in the river, I was about fifteen meters long double-headed snake tail wrapped around my feet, I did not look flustered, in the river between the electric flint and flint in the hand of the saber cut the neck of the double-headed snake three inches, but because of the angle and accuracy plus various chaotic factors, the saber only hit the right eye of the double-headed snake, failed to remove its head with one blow.

The double-headed snake was in pain, and before I could swing it down, it had already released its fangy mouth and threw me out!

"Poof!" My petite body fell into the river on the opposite side, and when I fell into the river, I could clearly see that my feet were bloody!

The two-headed snake kept spitting out the letter in its mouth, making bursts of "hissing" sounds, and then swam towards everyone with its huge body.

"Damn, I knew I was still in the mangroves." The mercenary who had explored the path before complained with a pale face, and the unlucky man was now pale, but he was holding a rifle with a bayonet in his hand. Or because I am in the perspective of the Yin God, everything I see is in slow motion, and when I can actually see his gun style, a series of data flows into my mind, and I can't tell if it was mentioned by You Murong or Hu Qinglan when they gossiped before. It was the "sibling" AN74 assault rifle of the Acre 94 gun family.

In 1996, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian Army and Marine Corps began to be armed with AN94 assault rifles. However, due to funding constraints, only a small number of troops have so far been equipped with it. During the war in Chechnya in August 1999, soldiers in the Russian Marine Corps who used the AN94 for the first time described it as "fantastic." The soldiers also took great care of it. American imperialist intelligence officers managed to get their hands on the AN94 rifle. But Nikonov, the chief designer of the AN94, said: "The US imperialist small arms experts can completely disassemble and copy the AN94-style 5.45mm automatic rifle, but the hybrid recoil action mechanism of this gun is something they can never master." ”

After all, the core technology of AN94 is that it is designed according to the mixed recoil action mechanism, using single, double and burst firing methods, and the shooting density exceeds that of the Acre 74 several times. The 5.45 mm × 39 mm bullets fired by it tumble over as soon as they enter the body of a living target until they deform and shatter, greatly increasing energy transfer. AN94 parts are manufactured from high-strength polymers reinforced with glass fibers. It also preserves the property of hand-to-hand combat with the butt. It can be attached to grenades, and it can also be fitted with the detachable multi-purpose spike that the hapless man now uses, and it is quick and easy to load and unload. It does have a lot of technical performance over the AK74. The most striking aspect of the AN94 assault rifle is the extensive use of plastic, a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide. Its entire butt is made of this material.

Another feature is the air duct under the barrel, which, in fact, is the butt extension, on which there are rails on which the grenade launcher is mounted. There is a pin in the middle of the extension rod, which serves a dual purpose: one is to prevent the barrel and extension rod from jumping up during fully automatic firing, and the other is to prevent the weapon from rushing forward violently. In addition, the gun is also specially designed for use inside infantry fighting vehicles, it can be mounted on a special mount for firing. In order to prevent the longitudinal movement of the weapon, the pin also doubles as a stop bearing. The piston barrel is located inside the casing.

Similarly, automaton components, barrels, barrel seats, pistons are all enclosed inside the receiver. It's like a cannon, making the receiver a kind of bracket. The bolt and bolt frame move in the barrel holder. The casing cover and handguard are one component and are also made of polyamide. A rotatable star-shaped sight is mounted above the rear of the receiver, and there are illumination elements that help the shooter accurately capture the target in bad light.

There is a similar device next to the rectangular crosshair, which is protected by a shield. The reticle can be freely adjusted in direction and height. The muzzle brake is a two-chamber structure, completely different from the design habits of Russian weapons. The bayonet mount is mounted on the right side of the barrel, which not only ensures greater stabbing power when stabbing hard, but also facilitates the installation of a grenade launcher under the barrel. The AN94 rifle differed greatly from the Kalashnikov rifle in that the designer Nikonov used only five parts of the Aka-74 rifle, namely the folding blade and lock knob of the folding stock, the magazine, the optical sight mount on the left side of the butt, and the wiping tool. The double-row 30-round magazine has an angle at the receiving port to give the buffer spring more room to move.

Unlike the Acre 74 and Acre 100 series, the butt of the AN94 is folded to the right. This makes it more ergonomic, because folding and opening are quick and easy, and it is comfortable to carry. The gun has a cushioning device inside that reduces recoil impulse and accelerates forward movement of the barrel and barrel seat. This buffer is connected with the firing mechanism by a hook. There is also a buffer behind the barrel seat to help speed up the re-entry of the bolt frame. The most notable mechanism for the AN94 assault rifle was the transition from a 2-round burst fire of 1800 rounds per minute to a burst of 600 rounds per minute.

The high rate of fire is achieved by the following three structures: first, the bolt frame has a short stroke, which is accelerated by a recoil buffer spring at the rear of the barrel seat during re-advance; And in front of the barrel seat there is a buffer that supports the buffer spring to accelerate the re-advance of the automaton assembly; At the same time, a specially designed hammer is used, and a special device is installed on it, which can reduce the firing time between the first two rounds to a minimum, a linkage mechanism. The so-called linkage mechanism is actually a wire rope that passes from the bolt frame through a transmission roller to the ammunition feeding mechanism, which is the most ingenious technical know-how on the gun. With this wire rope, the whole feeding process is divided into two steps. The first step is to grab the bullet from the magazine: when the bolt assembly starts to recoil, the wire rope moves in the opposite direction to grab a bullet from the magazine and guide it a certain distance.

In the second step, when the bolt frame moves forward, the lower boss of the bolt pushes it into the chamber to complete the locking. The application of this technology significantly shortens the reloading time. On a normal semi-automatic rifle, the bolt always slides to the rear of the bolt as long as the receiver allows or recoil, and this stroke is also required for the bolt to grab a bullet from the magazine. On the AN94, due to the wire rope-roller system, the bolt does not need to grab the bullet directly from the magazine, the task can be completed by a device at the end of the wire rope, and the bolt function is limited to pushing and locking. In this way, the bolt does not need to cross the magazine, and only in the final stage of the bolt is the bolt socket in contact with the bottom of the bullet.

That is to say, when the bolt assembly recoils, the mechanism responsible for the first stage of work moves forward, and then, the bolt quickly locks forward, and the feeding mechanism begins to return to its starting position, that is, behind the bottom of the second shot. Delayed recoil can lead to a noticeable improvement in firing performance. The reason for this is that at the same time as the automaton assembly delays recoiling, the bullet has already left the muzzle. During the whole process of firing, two automatic cyclic processes are generated at the same time: one is the recoil and re-entry of the automaton components in the receiver, and the other is the movement of the bolt components. When firing in bursts, the shooter must pull the safety to the "O" for "shooting" position and the fast and slow lever to the "AV" for "automatic" position. Pull the lever so that the bolt is in its rear position. In the first stage of ammunition supply, the aforementioned specialized agency grabs a bullet from the magazine, and the bolt frame prepares the hammer for firing.

Pull the trigger, the bolt is quickly pushed forward by the reentry spring and the buffer spring, the bullet is pushed into the chamber, and the two locking shoots enter the corresponding groove in the barrel to complete the locking. When the trigger is pulled all the way down, one of the bumps strikes forward against the trigger plate that rotates around the axis, compressing the firing lever to rotate and release the hammer. The hammer strikes forward under the action of the spring force, and the firing pin strikes the firing device of the first bullet. Driven by the recoil, the automaton assembly slides backwards in the receiver to compress the buffer spring.

The AN94 took advantage of this principle, when the weapon fired two bursts at a high rate of 1,800 rounds per minute, the automaton assembly slid backwards on the rails in the receiver. Before the automaton assembly sat down, 2 rounds had left the muzzle. The shooter's recoil is only a slight blow to the shoulder, which does not deviate the trajectory, so it is very beneficial for improving accuracy. In fact, the manufacturer later completed the development of two new assault rifles. The two new guns were developed on the basis of the AS and PU-192 prototypes, using 7.62mm and 5.56mm NATO calibers respectively. However, because of the deficit problem, the change of the outfit of the entire Russian army is far away, but these war wild dogs were used first, which cannot but be said to be very ironic.
