Chapter 81: Antiquity
According to the research of current scientists, the ancestors of all animals came from the sea, starting with bacteria, and then after countless years of evolution, everything in the world appeared, and human beings are only one of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info So what Wu Jian said is not wrong, we humans are actually a kind of animals, the reason why we become "humans" is the result of countless evolutions, if we look down on animals, it is equivalent to looking down on ourselves, the reason is as simple as that.
After a short period of contemplation, I asked Wu Jian, "Regarding the great evolution of our ancestors, is there a detailed record in the ancient books of your clan, and what is the truth of the matter?" ā
Wu Jian recalled for a moment and said: "This matter is a long story, and it also involves a lot of historical issues, and after you listen to it, you will find that many rumors in the Yellow Emperor's era are actually much more complicated than we imagined." ā
More than 6,000 years ago, the three tribes gathered in Wanqiu finally parted ways, the Fuxi tribe stayed in place to develop, the Yang Hui tribe went to the far west, and the Nuwa tribe went south. Wu Jian is from the Nuwa tribe, so the story of the incident should start with the Nuwa tribe.
After leaving Wanqiu, the Nuwa people migrated all the way south, first in the Yunnan and Sichuan areas, but the conditions there were very harsh, so they migrated again, to Guizhou and Hunan, and finally took root in Xiangxi, Hunan.
In the mountains of Xiangxi, the harsh environment faced by the Nuwa people is still not optimistic, in the confrontation with nature, they step by step towards civilization, and even developed the art of medicine into an extremely powerful Gu art, so the Gu art originally came from the art of medicine.
Soon after the birth of Gu art, the position of witch doctor was established in the clan, and the farming techniques and techniques left to them by the Fuxi and Nuwa tribes were also used, such as the number of spells, which were improved by the Nuwa tribe to form witchcraft, and the position of wizard came from this.
The difference between witchcraft and magic is that it not only implies the art of metaphysical knowledge, but also a kind of psychic art. What is psychic art, in a sense, is an ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, this kind of thaumaturgy, is produced from sacrificial activities, such as praying for heaven and earth, communicating with yin spirits, all of which need to use psychic skills.
On the contrary, the farming techniques left by the Yang Hui people have not been fully utilized among the Nuwa people, in fact, it is related to their living environment. The habitat of the Nuwa tribe is deep in the mountains, where there is no flat land, and some are only fierce birds and beasts, so it is not conducive to the development of agricultural techniques at all.
After more than 1,000 years of development, that is, more than 5,000 years ago, the Miao people at this time have become strong, and they have also developed from the ancient matriarchal society to the patriarchal system. During this period, the three ancient tribes also had contacts with each other, so they had a certain understanding of the development of each other's tribes and learned a lot of advanced cultural knowledge from each other.
According to the envoy from the Fuxi tribe, after their tribe stayed in Wanqiu for a hundred years to continue its development, their old patriarch suddenly fell seriously ill and died, so it was not named who the patriarch's heir was. The old patriarch had fifteen sons, and they each led a part of the clan, and after the old patriarch died, they had a dispute over the position of the patriarch, and in the end no one obeyed anyone, so the original Fuxi evolved into fifteen brother tribes.
These fifteen tribes are the Dating Clan, the Baihuang Clan, the Central Clan, the Whisker Clan (recorded in the Tongjian Waiji, but not recorded in other books), the Lilu Clan, the Lilian Clan, the Huxu Clan, the Zunlu Clan, the Chaos Clan, the Haoying Clan, the Youchao Clan, the Zhuxiang Clan, the Getian Clan, the Yinkang Clan, and the Wuhuai Clan.
These fifteen tribes once reached a consensus that they could not invade each other and manage the Central Plains land of Wanqiu together, but they still had the Fuxi clan as their ancestor. As for the green celestial stone, which symbolized imperial power and diplomacy, it was placed in the ancestral temple of the Fuxi tribe, and it was jointly guarded by the people of the fifteen tribes, and no one could own it alone.
After two hundred years unscathed, the fifteen tribes grew stronger, and their territory expanded many times to the surrounding areas. But no one expected that at this time, their leaders at that time had a scuffle with each other because of the ownership of the green celestial stone.
The great war lasted for five years, causing the vitality of the various tribes to be greatly damaged, but there was still no winner or loser, and finally some tribes suggested that the fifteen tribes should be reunited to form a new large tribe, and as for who would unify the large tribe, it was up to the people themselves to elect.
This proposal was quickly supported by more people, because they did not want their relatives to die for this meaningless war, and they wanted to live the peaceful life they used to have.
The leaders of the fifteen tribes, though they were not convinced by anyone, were forced to accept the proposal under pressure from the people. This process of promotion lasted for three years, and finally allowed a clansman named Youxiong to sit on the position of patriarch. After the establishment of the new tribe, the real power was still in the hands of the leaders of the previous fifteen tribes, and the new patriarch Youxiong was just a puppet leader.
Youxiong is very talented, in order to firmly grasp the rights he should have, he is working hard while cultivating his strength in secret. After about thirty years, the power that Youxiong secretly cultivated became bigger and bigger, and at the same time, his prestige gradually surpassed that of the original patriarchs and was recognized by many clansmen.
After holding power, Youxiong changed the tribe to a country, and at that time, the names of the tribes were all based on their surnames, so naturally, the name of the country was called Youxiong.
The beginning of the Xiong Kingdom, the capital of Jiangshui (now Shaanxi Province, Baoji City), the king Youxiong abolished the original tribal rule system, set up a number of official positions, and governed the country with the ministers.
After a hundred years of cultivation and recuperation, the kingdom of Youxiong grew stronger, and at this time, their first king, Youxiong, was already dying, so before he died, he relinquished the throne to a minister of high prestige, whose name was Shenlong.
Hearing this, the third uncle couldn't hold back any longer, he questioned Wu Jian's statement, and couldn't help but say, "Wait! What do you mean when you said that the first king of the bear kingdom died more than a hundred years after it was founded? Could it be that the man named Youxiong lived for more than a hundred years? ā
Wu Jian said flatly: "His real age must be more than more than more than a hundred years old, because his specific age before becoming king is not recorded in ancient books." ā
Wu Jian's bland words shocked all of us, and I thought about it deeply, if Youxiong's age before becoming king was counted as forty years old, then how terrifying would his real age be? One hundred and fifty years old? What if he became king at the age of fifty? Then his longevity has to be increased, oh my God, does this person really live that long?
The label smashed his mouth, and said in surprise: "If what you said is true, the most conservative estimate is that this person has at least one hundred and sixty years of life, damn, this is more than twice the life expectancy of a normal person." ā
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "Although the real age of Xiong is not recorded in the ancient books, judging from some of the things recorded later, if this person did not die of a serious illness, his lifespan would be at least two hundred years old. ā
"What?" Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Wu Jian a little nervously, because the degree of surprise we were already reaching the extreme.
After a brief period of surprise, Tom's expression changed again, he pointed at Wu Jian and said in disbelief, "You are talking nonsense!" How can a person have such a long lifespan, and are you sure that the person in your clan who recorded this is not a psychopath? ā
I understand Tom's mood very well at this moment, you know, we now live in such superior conditions, the average life expectancy is only more than 70, while the ancients lived in such difficult conditions, but lived to the age of 200 years, how can people believe?
Wu Jian looked at Tom coldly, and said coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can not listen to it at all, but please don't insult my ancestors." ā
I saw that Wu Jian's face turned blue, and I knew that this was a sign that he was going to go crazy, so I shouted to Tom next to me, who looked unconvinced: "We are discussing things now, don't make the atmosphere so unfriendly, okay?" ā
Tom looked at me a little strangely and said, "Do you believe what he says, are you sure he's not telling myths?" ā
The people in the scientific research team have known Wu Jian for a long time, and they can't understand his temper anymore, as long as it comes out of his mouth, if it is not a misjudgment, then it is 100% true, so we subconsciously believe everything he just said, which is also the reason why we are very surprised.
I said to the indignant Tom, "Is it really going to be discussed later, let's listen to him finish the matter first, maybe after you know the truth of the whole thing, you won't think so." ā
The third uncle saw some clues from the expressions of our people, so he said to Tom: "Xiao Yang is right, don't interrupt me, if you don't want to listen, plug your ears." After speaking, the old fox looked at Wu Jian expectantly and motioned for him to continue.
Wu Jian saw Tom's deflated face, and the unhappiness in his heart finally subsided, so he continued to tell us the rest of the story.
It is said that after the dragon succeeded to the throne, attaches great importance to agriculture, because of this, the people of the bear country during his succession, have lived a life of abundant food and clothing, in order to commemorate his merits, after his death, people changed the word "dragon" in his name to agriculture, called Shennong, symbolizing that he is the god of agriculture.
Shennong reigned for more than 120 years, and after his death, his son Linkui succeeded him to the throne, and the hereditary system began from there. Since Shennong's death, his descendants have been in charge of the bear country, which lasted more than 1,500 years, until the fall of the bear country.
Since the establishment of the bear country, it has lasted for more than 1,700 years, during which there have been nine kings, and if you average their reigns, each of them has been kings for at least 180 years. Wu Jian calculated, even if these nine people were only thirty years old before they succeeded to the throne, then plus their age after inheriting the throne, they were already more than two hundred years old, which is why he was sure that the real age of Youxiong should be around two hundred years old.
In order, the kings of the bear country are the following people, the first king ---- Xiong, the second king ---- Shennong (Shenlong), the third king ---- Linkui, the fourth king ---- Dicheng, the fifth king ---- Diming, the sixth king ---- Dizhi, the seventh king ---- Dilai, the eighth king ---- Diai, and the ninth king ---- Yuke.
Shennong, the second monarch of the bear country, believed that the sun was not only the embodiment of light and justice, but also the root of all fire, so he changed the totem to the sun and worshiped it very much.
After more than 1,700 years of development, the country of Youxiong has become very powerful, but at this time, a minister named Gongsun suddenly sent troops to rebel, and since then, the largest war in the history of the land of China began to be staged.
One day, a group of people rushed to the Nuwa tribe, claiming to be envoys sent by Emperor Yan to meet the leader of the Nuwa tribe in an urgent matter.
At that time, the patriarch of the Nuwa tribe was called Xingtian, and after he learned about this, he immediately summoned the envoy of Youxiong Country, and through some conversation, he knew that there was a civil strife in Youxiong Country.
The purpose of the envoy from the Xiong Kingdom was very simple, hoping that the Nuwa tribe would send troops to support and jointly quell the mutiny in the country.
The Nuwa tribe, the Fuxi tribe, and the Yang Hui tribe had an ancient contract on the land of Wanqiu more than 7,000 years ago, and no matter if any party had something to ask for, they would definitely go to support, so Xingtian, the leader of the Nuwa tribe at that time, did not hesitate at all, and agreed to the other party's request.
The reason why Xingtian agreed to be so simple was not because of the existence of the ancient contract, but because he had a very good relationship with Chi You, the son of Emperor Yan at that time, so he sent troops to support Youxiong Country this time, from a deeper level, because of the friendship between individuals.
Through the envoy of the Xiong Kingdom, Xingtian learned that Gongsun was actually the cousin of Emperor Yan Yuke, because this person was quite talented, so he was promoted step by step by Emperor Yan Yuke to become the minister in charge of the soldiers. However, what Emperor Yan Yuke never dreamed of was that after his most trusted cousin had military power, he took up the idea of the king's throne, and at this point, a major war in the country began.
Gongsun mastered most of the soldiers in the country, so in this great battle, he achieved absolute superiority in force. Emperor Yan Yuke retreated after repeated defeats, and as a last resort, he thought of the ancient contract in the clan, so he sent someone to bring Tianshi over to ask to see Xingtian, hoping that he would send troops to help and quell the chaos as soon as possible.
However, what Xingtian didn't expect was that when he led the warriors of his clan to the country of Youxiong, a bad news came that the imperial palace was actually broken by Gongsun's rebels, and Yandi Yuke had become a prisoner of his subordinates. But fortunately, the eldest son of Yan Emperor Yuke escaped from the imperial palace in the melee, and quickly gathered a group of people among the people, and the person who came to greet Xingtian was Chi You.
As early as more than ten years ago, Xingtian, who was not the leader of the Nuwa tribe, had a relationship with Chiyou, the son of Emperor Yan, when he was sent to the country of bears, this person was not only burly, but also born with divine power, and was known as the first warrior in the country of bears. However, what is more interesting is that Xingtian is also extremely burly, and he is also recognized as the first warrior of the Nuwa clan, at this time, a minister of the bear country proposed to let the first warrior between the two clans compete to see who is the real first warrior.
However, for the sake of friendly relations between the two clans, this proposal was vetoed by Emperor Yan Yuke, but afterwards, these two strong-blooded young men were itching, so they had a private contest, as for that contest, who won and who lost, only the parties know.
Goodbye to the former opponent, both of them had a feeling of reunion after a long absence, and on the same day, Chi You set up a banquet to entertain Xingtian, and informed Xingtian of the current situation of the bear country. After some negotiations, Xingtian and Chiyou decided that as long as Gongsun did not agree to release Emperor Yan Yuke and abandon the city and surrender, they would launch a siege battle on the second day.
Gongsun naturally knew that the Nuwa clan had come to support Chiyou, so he secretly sent someone to curry favor with Xingtian, hoping that he could withdraw from this war. Xing was upright by nature, and he had long regarded Gongsun who had committed rebellion as a villain, so he immediately rejected the messenger sent by Gongsun, in order not to let Chi You be distracted, and killed the people who came on the spot.
After the negotiation failed, Gongsun still refused to let go of Chiyou's father, so on the second day, Xingtian led his people to attack the city. The Nuwa tribe has lived in the mountains for a long time, and they have been fighting with wild beasts for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the soldiers of Gongsun are naturally not opponents, so they abandoned the city and fled, and went to the Jishui area to lie dormant.
Since then, there have been dozens of big battles between the two sides, large and small, and Chi Youyin has the help of Xingtian, and Gongsun will be defeated in every battle, so many of the soldiers who followed him began to defect. In order to prevent this from escalating, Gongsun sent people to Chiyou's base camp and declared that he was willing to hand over the former Yan Emperor Yuke, but Chiyou had to hand over the ancient sacred relics of the clan, Tianshi, and promised to let him establish himself as king, occupy the area around Jishui, and if not, kill his father Yuke.
Xingtian felt that there was something strange about this matter, and suspected that it was Gongsun's plan to delay the army, so he suggested that Chi You should go all out and lead the soldiers to kill in the area of Jishui, so as to completely eradicate Gongsun, so as not to cause endless disasters in the future.
However, Chiyou was worried about his father's safety, and he agreed to Gongsun's request despite Xingtian's obstruction. After that, the two exchanged what they needed, and Gongsun also kept his original promise, retreated to the area of Jishui, and never set foot in the country of Youxiong again.
After Gongsun retired to draw water, in order not to lose the hearts of the people, he also established his own country with the name of Xiong, because his fief was in Jishui, and the palace sat on Xuanyuan Hill (Xuanyuan Hill, in the northwest of Xinzheng, Henan), so he changed his name and surname to Ji Xuanyuan. Ji Xuanyuan believes that the earth is the mother of all things, and the color of the earth is yellow, so he calls himself the Yellow Emperor.
After five years of such peace and sound, on the evening of one day, a minister reported to Emperor Yan Yuke, Ji Xuanyuan's thief heart was not dead, and he had made a comeback, and launched an attack in many border areas of Youxiong Country, hoping that Emperor Yan would make plans as soon as possible.
After Emperor Yan Yuke learned about this, he did not dare to slack off, so he sent his eldest son Chi You, who was in charge of military power, to put down the rebellion. However, after five years of cultivation and recuperation, Ji Xuanyuan's team led by him became stronger and stronger, and his weapons had also improved greatly, so after several battles, Chi You's side was defeated.
Seeing that Ji Xuanyuan's rebels were growing stronger and stronger, and had already occupied a lot of their own territory, Emperor Yan Yuke thought of the Nuwa tribe who had won all battles that day, so he ordered Chiyou to personally bring a generous gift and go to the Nuwa tribe to ask for support.
Although Xingtian blamed Chiyou for not listening to the advice of the day, he still couldn't save face, and finally agreed to send troops to support.
Chi You thanked Xing Tian for his help again, and decided to marry Xing Tian as brothers of the opposite sex, and claimed that the Nuwa tribe was the brother clan of the Bear Country, and if there was a need in the future, as long as he Chi You was there, the Bear Country would spare no effort to help.
Although Ji Xuanyuan's soldiers have improved a lot in combat effectiveness, and their weapons are more advanced than before, they are still not the opponents of the Nuwa tribe.
At this time, Xingtian once again proposed that while the morale was greatly boosted, he must not be soft-hearted, and he must go into the water in one go, and cut Ji Xuanyuan to the roots, so as not to happen again in the future.
Having learned the lesson of the last time, Xingtian's proposal this time was quickly approved by Yan Emperor Yuke and Chi You, so soon after, they led their army to draw water and prepare for the final battle.
After the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan knew about this, he couldn't sit still all day long, and at this moment, his subordinate military advisor Feng Bo brought him a thing, which was nothing else, it was the ancestral temple artifact Tianshi that was exchanged from Chi You's hand that day.
Seeing that the Yellow Emperor didn't know what he meant, Feng Bo explained that the artifact Tianshi was a token of the three ancient tribes, and now that we are in trouble, we can use this object to request other tribes to come to support, which is a contract reached in ancient times.
The Yellow Emperor shook his head again and again, saying that the Nuwa clan had formed an alliance with Emperor Yan and had long regarded themselves as mortal enemies, and even if they had Tianshi in hand, the other party would not agree to this.
Feng Bo said that the Nuwa tribe was only one of the three major tribes at that time, and in addition to this tribe, we could also find support from the Yang Hui tribe in the far west. And the Yang Hui tribe has not sent someone to the Xiong Country for a long time, and they must not know about His Majesty's dispatch of troops this time, as long as we bring a lot of treasures and tokens to the Tianshi, and then put the matter of the Xiong Country upside down, when the time comes, the people of the Yang Hui will definitely come to support.
The Yellow Emperor was overjoyed after hearing this, but after a while, he hesitated, and he said to Feng Bo, the Western Queen Mother Country is located in the extreme west, and it must take a long time to travel between them, but I am afraid that if you don't wait for you to bring support to the Yang Hui soldiers, I will be completely wiped out, what should I do then?
Feng Bo felt that this was not a problem, and he suggested that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan pretend to surrender to Emperor Yan, as long as it dragged on for some time and waited until he returned, then all the problems could be solved.
After hearing this, the Yellow Emperor was overjoyed again, and ordered Feng Bo, who could speak well, to set off quickly and complete the matter as soon as possible.
More than 6,000 years ago, after leaving Wanqiu, the Yang Hui migrated all the way to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and finally settled down at the source of the Yellow River, which is at the foot of the main peak of the Kunlun Sacred Mountain (in present-day Qinghai Province).
About 500 years later, I heard that the Fuxi tribe had established the Youxiong country, and the Yang Hui people also had this idea, so seven years later, they also established their own country. Although the Yang Hui people have gone through hundreds of years of development, they are still in the matriarchal social management system, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, their lord was honored as the queen mother, and they are located in the west, so they have the title of the western queen mother.
After the establishment of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom, they had dealings with the Fuxi people of the Nuwa tribe, so they absorbed many advanced technologies of the other two tribes, and not only developed their own farming skills more rapidly, but also the medicine skills of the Nuwa tribe and the number of techniques of the Fuxi tribe were also improved more powerfully.
After Feng Bo arrived in the West Queen Mother Country, he found that all kinds of technologies in this country were very advanced, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing, and couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly made up his mind to bring back these things he saw to use them.
After seeing the Queen Mother of the West, Feng Bo said that the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan was known to be talented and was designated by the previous Emperor Yan as the future heir, but who knew that after the death of Emperor Yan, a minister named Yu Ke launched a mutiny, he drove away the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and seized the throne of Emperor Yan.
And now, that traitor still wants to be killed, so in desperation, I hope that the Western Queen Mother Kingdom will send someone to set things right. In order to make the Queen Mother of the West fully convinced, Feng Bo even took out the ancient holy artifact Heavenly Stone.
The Queen Mother of the West knew that the holy relic Heavenly Stone was a necessary thing for the kings of the Bear Kingdom in the past dynasties, and it was a symbol of all rights, so without thinking, she completely believed Feng Bo's words.
After that, the Queen Mother of the West immediately summoned the general Jiutian Xuannu and asked her to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and immediately went to the country of Youxiong to support, and gave her the divine book "Heavenly Seal Wenshu Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" that evolved from the number of spells.
The number of techniques is based on the theory of the restraint of the five elements of yin and yang, to speculate on the "good luck" of nature, society, and personnel, according to this technique, the Fuxi people also invented the gossip map, as well as the art of gossip.
However, the "Heavenly Seal Book of the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter" of the Western Queen Mother Country is more than that, this strange book not only implies the above various abilities, but also records the creation methods of various weapons, as well as the art of war used in the formation and march, which is the killer weapon used by the West Queen Mother Country to defend against the enemy.
After Feng Bo got the help of the Queen Mother of the West, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately rushed to draw water with the Nine Heavens Xuannu. The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan really did not disappoint Feng Bo, and used the trick of pretending to surrender to drag Emperor Yan for more than three months, until Feng Bo brought reinforcements.
Seeing that the soldiers on the Yellow Emperor's side marched in no order, and the weapons were even more rudimentary, the Nine Heavens Xuannu suggested that he build sharper weapons and chariots, and passed on some marching formations to him.
With the help of the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Mother Kingdom of the Western Queen, as well as the "Heavenly Seal Wenshu Dragon Armor Divine Chapter", the strength of the Yellow Emperor's side increased greatly, and soon tore up the agreement he had promised to the Yan Emperor, and launched another attack on the border of the Youxiong Kingdom.
The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, whose strength has greatly increased, is invincible, whether it is the soldiers of Emperor Yan or the warriors of the clan brought by Xingtian, they are not his opponents, so that they will be defeated in every battle.
Just when Emperor Yan and Xingtian were in trouble, at this time, the sorcerer of the Nuwa clan offered a plan, but this strategy was very vicious and was vetoed by Emperor Yan on the spot. Since then, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor have fought several times, but each battle is still the defeat of the Yan Emperor.
Seeing that the country of Youxiong was about to be defeated, at this time, one of the ministers of Emperor Yan launched a rebellion, he led several henchmen to kidnap Emperor Yan, and fled to the side of the Yellow Emperor, handing over Emperor Yan in order to protect himself.
Chi You was furious when he heard this, and after discussing it with his brother-in-law Xingtian, he felt that he had reached the point of exhaustion, and he had to use the wizard's strategy desperately.
That night, the sorcerer summoned a thousand warriors from the clan, asked them to voluntarily eat a red Gu worm, and then launched an attack on the base camp of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan overnight. In that sneak attack battle, the Yellow Emperor and the Nine Heavens Xuannu were unexpected, not only lost a large number of soldiers, but were almost captured by the thousand warriors sent by Xingtian.
After every battle, as long as Xingtian sent this thousand brave clansmen, the army of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan would be defeated, and over time, a rumor spread among the army of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, saying that the thousand warriors sent by Xingtian were actually not people, but demons who crawled out of hell, so they could not be defeated. (To be continued.) )
