At this time, the mercenary had already reported that everything was normal in the jungle, there was no trace of human activity, it seemed that they just happened to encounter a group of dinosaurs migrating with the dense forest torrent, Yue Zhende had been watching coldly, and said at this moment: "It's useless to say anything now, even if we are willing to let go, can we leave, this strange jungle is not blocked?" ”

I nodded and said, "Not bad!" I sympathize with these mercenaries being eaten alive by mutated animals, all of which are sins committed by the ancient dragon veins founder. Now there is enough blood shed here, I think the ancient Yu who sealed the ancient gods with the dragon vein in ancient times does not want any innocent people to die in the future, as long as the ancient god does not escape, then he will not care, after leaving the dragon vein, you had better leave this country...... Of course, there is no problem in coming back and sending him to death. ”

Hu Qinglan was a little skeptical and said:

"How can I trust that you won't betray us?"

Shi Lingren smiled at me, but there was a sense of pride in his words:

"First, I don't have to lie to you, even if you obstruct me, I can still take Shen Shuiyue out. Second, if you really don't believe it, you can ask Yue Zhende if I ever lied? The protection of the tube building, the decryption of Yue Zhende's Yue family's mansion, which of these two major events is not led by me? ”

"What?! How can you do these two big things? After Hu Qinglan heard these two words, the marksman, who had always been very indifferent, was also suddenly moved, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yue Zhende: "What he said is true?" Do you dare to swear by the souls of the ancestors of the Yue family? ”

Yue Zhende glanced at me, and his eyes were also a little complicated:

"This Mr. Yin and Yang is a bit capable...... I swear before my fathers and fathers that this is true, otherwise the souls of my fathers will not be at rest in the depths of the earth. ”

Hu Qinglan nodded and said to us:

"May you be a man of his word." She turned to the mercenaries: "I have already paid the balance to your account, now I order you to pack up and prepare to withdraw, and do not send you to death again...... I'll walk the rest of the way alone! ”

The heavy rain poured down, and it did not converge due to the torrent.

You Murong was instructing me to separate the skin and flesh of the crocodile with a saber, and the fine meat was threaded with flexible shrub strips, and it was worn cross-body on the upper body, and the nose was full of the smell of fresh meat. Shi Ling was discussing this sudden flood with Hu Qinglan, but there was not enough information to judge, and finally had to deduce that the topography of this place was close to the legendary flood forest.

Flood forests are a type of rainforest that is often submerged for long periods of time during flood season. Sometimes referred to as "swamp forests", the most famous type of forest is in the inaccessible Amazon basin, where they make up 2% of the total rainforest area. The causes of floodplain forests are determined by the characteristics of moist instability, poorly drained soils, and specific trees. Like the mangroves in front of you, many flood forest species have tall roots that support its structure like arches. However, even if a floodplain forest is flooded for 4-10 months of the year, its flooding period is predictable. Even because fish play an important role in the seed dispersal of this forest. So it can be judged according to the fish news.

Fish? At this time, I had a vague clue in my mind, but I still couldn't get the point.

When I got up and was about to greet You Murong, I suddenly felt the mud that had dried up in front of me swaying. The gray surface of the ground agitated, as if a huge creature was sleeping below, and after awakening, it arched violently from the ground. My consciousness was a little blurry, and I thought I was fainting. But his mind didn't tremble, and when he looked closely at the muddy stacks of trees distributed in front of him, the blood all over his body hit his brain, and his cold hair stood up.

Not again! I yelled for You Murong to come with me, but You Murong stood too far away and didn't see what I found. But she knew that this was not a joke, and judging by the tone of my voice, there must have been an extremely dangerous situation. We waved our hands and threw ourselves at the Shiling people.

Most of the people were packing up, but one of the mercenaries suddenly shouted in a panic in the makeshift sentry:

"Boss! Come on board, what are you doing down there? It seems to be flooding again, and there are ......"

Unbeknownst to him, at this moment, a loud noise came, and the riverbed in front of him shook violently, and the huge energy released from a distance, with the steaming mist, threw up a wave nearly two meters high. Although compared with the real big wave, this wave is only a small splash, but a few mercenaries who are packing up their things do not know why, when they turned their heads to look in shock, they saw a huge wave surging over, two or three people were hit by this wave before they could react, and the sky was spinning for a while, and it was estimated that when they came back to their senses, they found that their bodies had floated on the water. The next moment, their bodies began to sink, and I guess their bodies were completely incapacitated by the big wave, and the bones in their bodies seemed to have been washed apart.

Even the few rafts that escaped the attack of the "dinosaur" were tossed by the waves and were immediately swept to the bottom of the river.

“…… There's a big guy coming! ”

As the sentry who spit out the second half of the sentence spoke, he dutifully aimed a flare at the water in the distance, and we could see it immediately. In the distance, there was a staggering number of flood peaks, and a huge shadow was rapidly approaching, surrounded by countless fine water bubbles, giving people the feeling that dark clouds were weighing down on the sky, and this shadow was constantly changing shape like ink that was gradually dissolving!

At this time, I saw that Yue Zhende's eyes suddenly widened, and looking at his expression, he seemed to recognize this thing, and immediately gestured to the others to get on the raft. As soon as he himself got on the raft, Yue Zhende immediately said urgently:

"Run, run, run, no...... Boating. ”

"Head, what do you see that?" At this moment, we met with Shi Ling and Hu Qinglan, and the mercenary leader stared at Hu Qinglan in surprise, pointing to the river outside.

Hu Qinglan squinted and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp. I feel the same way, the shadow in the river is actually two giant snakes swimming against the current in the entanglement of the raft. The giant snake is actually not terrible, but this giant snake is no longer the ordinary python I saw before, this is a beast that is quite similar to the ichthyosaur in the age of dinosaurs, ten meters long, one meter in diameter, its body is full of blue-black fine scales, it seems that the entire torso appears smooth and spindle-shaped, the scales are covered with a thin layer of mucus, the limbs are stretched forward in the shape of fish fins, but the front part of the limb is stretched out with sharp claws, and a long and fat tail also appears behind it.

And the most terrifying thing is that it has a human face, red eyes, two fangs that glow coldly under the lightning, and even small wings. I suddenly understood...... Fish...... Snake...... These keywords of the great water are connected together, which is the real snake contained in the "Shan Shui Jing Zhongshan Sutra", its shape is like a human face and a jackal, the wings of a bird and a snake, its sound is like a cry, see its big water. The snake people I met before were probably a hybrid of them and the snake.

It has a human face but a jackal-like body, and a bird with wings that crawls like a snake, and makes a sound like a human being. It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer heard a baby crying near Daliang City in the Wei Kingdom, and found that it was a snake-shaped monster. Over the next three days, the Yellow River overflowed, flooding more than 850 towns and villages along its way. This is the fight of the small and the old...... The previous flood was summoned by them, just like in the dense forest on the banks of the Amazon River, there is a black-brown spotted snake with sarcoma-like scales on its head and diamond-shaped body, and the local Indians call it "Sulukuku" The large snake can secrete a kind of mucus by its epidermis, which acts as a heat insulator, so it can not only fight fires, but also stay on the fire for a long time. This thing may have the opposite ability.

The Snake that had been attacked by the flare began to roar loudly in anger, and sure enough, it was like a roar, and then quickly swam towards this side, so as the distance between the two sides shortened, I could see that the monster's neck was still relatively slender, with a huge head like a crocodile and a long snout. It reminds me of the fossil of the Hu Yaolong that I have seen in the museum. The fossils were found in Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, and are 90% intact and preserved. The name "Hu" is in honor of the late Chinese paleontologist Hu Yaoming. This dinosaur lived in the Jurassic period, with a total body length of more than 40 centimeters, belonging to the bird wing family, representing one of the closest dinosaurs to birds. Is the snake also a member of the ancient dinosaurs?

But probably because under the fire of the mercenaries, although they did not break the defense, but also provoked the snake is really angry, so it will open its mouth from time to time and roar, at this time you can see clearly that the structure of the mouth of the snake is similar to that of snakes, and it can be opened into an exaggerated arc, and the rows of sharp teeth arranged in the mouth are simply like groups of razors, whether it is meat or vegetarian, hard or soft, it will be ground to pieces.

And probably because the chewing muscles of this monster are quite developed, there are two thick muscles bulging under the skin next to the mouth of the Dahua snake, and the knot extends to the neck, you can imagine how heavy the price of being bitten is.

Probably hurt by the mercenary's accurate and ruthless bullets, the monster's long neck suddenly exposed to the water, and aimed at a mercenary and sprayed a stream of colorless and transparent venom! This is not the style of dinosaurs!

In the face of its hand, the other mercenary immediately raised his blast shield and grabbed it in front of his companion.

The venom poured on the mercenary's shield, and immediately scattered and splashed away, the explosion-proof shield was fine, the venom could not corrode it at all, just like the water droplets on the lotus leaf, and the splashed venom fell on the raft around it You can see green smoke, the wood used to make the raft is very hard and wear-resistant, and it immediately showed a scorched black.

A piece of venom flew almost against the guy's face, and the guy only felt a burning sensation coming from his face, and after the thick burnt smell came out, it was followed by a burning pain! Unexpectedly, half of the hair next to his ears has been burned, and if it is splashed, then he will have to return to the outside world to go to South Korea for a plastic surgery package.

Despite the victim's timely warning, the splash of venom was irregular, and one of the mercenaries dodged one step slower, accidentally dodged the venom, and the whole right hand squeaked, and strangely, his whole person seemed to feel no pain at all, and he watched the epidermis of his right hand boil, bubble, and then fester. It doesn't seem to have come to his senses.

At this moment, a figure strode forward, and Hu Qinglan pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed straight down, cutting off the mercenary's arm up to the shoulder! The severed arm corroded cleanly in a short period of time, as if it had been thrown into concentrated sulfuric acid. The mercenary was also tough, knowing that he had escaped death, and after hurriedly stopping the bleeding, he endured the pain of his broken arm and bowed slightly to Hu Qinglan.

The snake roared and spewed out several streams of venom in succession, but this time everyone was prepared and was not accidentally injured again. For mercenaries, although they are still ordinary people, they are very afraid in the face of the unknown, but once the culprit appears, even if it is a water giant beast such as a sperm whale, they have to fight fiercely, not to mention that they have killed a dinosaur, and they have a very clear grasp of the weakness of such creatures, that is, once they get close, they often make these people fall into a very embarrassing situation, but the distance is different, for example, although the two big snakes in front of them are fierce, they have never been able to break through the range, although they are still alive and well by relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, But let the bullets greedily gnaw at its body, and the Great Snake seemed powerless.

Seeing that the Dahua snake was getting closer and closer, a red light suddenly ignited on the head of the raft, but Hu Qinglan didn't know when she touched the head of the raft, and placed her love gun on the gun position of the original raft head, this thing was mainly an armor-piercing bullet, and the damage at close range within fifty meters was very terrifying.

With two loud bangs, two terrible wounds suddenly appeared on the body surface of the Great Transformation Snake, which bore the brunt of the attack, and the bright red flesh kept wriggling, trying to squeeze out the armor-piercing bullets that had been shot into the body.

Under the pain, it suddenly let out a terrible roar, and its thick and powerful tail slapped the water hard, and suddenly a huge wave five or six meters high surged like a wall, hitting the raft alive! With a "snap", the entire multi-ton raft was raised nearly 45 degrees!

The collision was so abrupt that more than a dozen people screamed in horror and tumbled into the water. My pupils contracted suddenly, and sure enough, once this atavistic animal in the water is in the home field, it can often exert its strength like a fish in water!

In an instant, another atavistic animal took the opportunity to approach within thirty meters of the big raft, but Hu Qinglan's guy had already stood on the head of the raft, with an explosion-proof shield in his left hand and a saber in his right hand, calm as a mountain, and I also pulled out the saber with my backhand, raised it and aimed it at the head of the big snake in an instant.

The wind blew across my cheeks, and there was a different kind of coolness, and the smell of the river wrapped around me like a mother. And although Yue Zhende's face turned pale, his hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock!

I have to admit: the power of the saber at this time has changed from the previous best melee strength to take a back seat, and my positioning of it at this time has become a surprise soldier in my hand, and the main pursuit is not its damage, but to take advantage of the time after the bullet hits.

There is no doubt that it would be more convenient if Hu Qinglan could give this atavistic creature a hard blow and make it stun for two seconds! However, there was more than one person who was expecting Hu Qinglan's guy to rush forward and attract this guy's attention. Yue Zhende couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this behemoth, turned around and waved his hand, "Quickly withdraw...... Diving! ”

"Head ......" The mercenary with the broken arm slammed nervously, "We will be drowned, even if we don't drown, we will be frozen to death because of the wet temperature"!

"If you don't run, you'll have to feed the snakes"! Yue Zhende roared in his ear, and then commanded the other subordinates, "Hurry up and find a few ropes to tie everyone together, and strive not to be swept away by the river"!

"Head, what about the supplies and these people?" The leader of the mercenaries glanced at me and Shi Lingren and the others, and asked what Yue Zhende meant.

"Idiot, your life is going to be gone, you are still thinking about this, hurry up and find a rope for Lao Tzu"! Yue Zhende was so angry that he jumped to his feet, I felt that he was sighing about how he had raised such a bunch of stupid idiots. Glaring fiercely at me and Shi Lingren and the others, he took the rope found by his subordinates and tied it around his waist first, and the other subordinates followed suit. You Murong and we found some pots and planks, hoping to use their buoyancy to support them for a while longer.

The mercenary with the broken arm and a few wounded stumbled in front of Yue Zhende, knelt on the ground and begged him to take a few of them, I thought it was another miracle, but he was kicked hard by Yue Zhende, and pointed a gun at his nose to tell them to get out. The broken-arm mercenary and the others could only watch in despair and anger as Yue Zhende and the others fled from behind, leaving them here to fend for themselves.

As soon as they left, Shi Ling and I hurried to find everything that could be used. I watched the mercenaries fall into the water one by one in two steps, but I wiped the water on my face, but I was surprised to find that there was really a big snake!

Secretly screamed bad. Of the two big snakes, one seemed to have discovered Yue Zhende and the others and chased after them, while the other had already swam to the raft and was about to crash into it.

"Bang"!

There was a loud noise under the raft, indicating that the Dahua snake had entered the bottom of the raft. "Ahh There was another exclamation, most of the body of this big snake was hidden in the water, only one head was raised high, aimed at Yue Zhende, and then the head popped out like a bullet out of the chamber, and Yue Zhende was ...... The person next to him swallowed it in his mouth!

"Oh my God!" One of the mercenaries screamed and was about to swim ashore along the raft, but he was so nervous that he stumbled and fell into the river.

"Help me!" He raised his head and swam to the shore with all his might, but as soon as he shouted, he saw a wave rise in the river, and then the wave enveloped him in it, and quickly sank into the water.

"Let's go!" The other mercenary was very clever, jumped off the raft in the opposite direction, and half-swam and half-ran towards the shore.

"Oh my God, oh God!" The mercenary who had just crossed was frightened, and he shouted incoherently: "Two Leviathans, there are two Leviathans in the river, let's go!" ”

But before he finished speaking, he saw another black shadow emerge from the bushes on the shore, this is the third big snake!

As soon as the Dahua Snake appeared, it tightly wound the pious mercenaries who had jumped off the raft, and then the sound of "crackling" sounded like fried beans, the bones of the pious mercenaries were crushed, and streams of blood continued to emerge from his mouth, nose, and ears, etc., he desperately opened his bloody eyes, opened his mouth wide, but did not make any sound, and after a while, his head was crooked to the side, but he was directly hanged by the Dahua Snake!

The incident happened suddenly, and it seemed that in a blink of an eye, the people on the raft had already suffered many casualties, and the leader mercenary came to Shi Lingren, looked straight into his eyes, and said seriously: "Cooperation? ”

Shi Lingren thought for a moment, his subordinates were busy with their movements, and nodded, "Okay"

"Oh my God, there are big snakes on the shore too, and I'm not waiting to die with so many of you...... I'm leaving! The frightened mercenary with an explosion-proof shield snatched the scimitar from the waist of the mercenary with the broken arm and slashed it at the rope tied to the raft.

"Dude, stop!" Suddenly, the mercenary with a broken arm was unprepared for the shield-wielding mercenary who saved his life and snatched the knife from his waist, but it was too late to stop it.

Nearly half of the raft disintegrated, the shield-wielding mercenary threw away his knife, stepped on a large log, picked up the oars made of long wood on the raft, rowed hard, and shouted while rowing: "Hurry up, I want to get out of here!" ”

The large log that resembles an African canoe has just left the raft in the center of the river when a wave rolls up and swims quickly towards the canoe.

"God, it's the Great Snake!" Immediately afterwards, under the river fifty meters in front of the raft, a huge black shadow appeared, like a dark cloud hidden under the water, drifting slowly and steadily, dragging a strip of red behind it, and the huge dorsal fin floating on the water surface was like a chopping knife, and even reflected a few rays of the sun's rays, and then broke through the water and quickly aimed at the raft and rushed over!

And then pass by......

Apparently this troll has already rammed and sunk many similar human creations in this way! It was then looking forward to opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, greedily devouring the fallen humans, feeding its wounds with their flesh.

It's just that for the mercenaries who have fallen into the place of death, they are no stranger to this scene, and at the moment of life and death, they have plucked up their courage, climbed the solid thing next to them, and at the same time whistled loudly and screamed:

"Baby, come here."

"You'll find your most powerful weapon as fragile as a collector's porcelain – but not as precious."

"Oh, I can't wait!" In the chaos, Shi Lingren's chanting was always clear: "The three and five forbidden laws of the Tao must be passed on orally, and the pen cannot be compromised." A method, straight thinking about my body as a red bird, so that the length of three zhang, and stand on the head of the tiger, because the breath is closed, the tiger is gone. If you stay in the mountains at dusk, take the hairpin on your head and hold your breath to stab the white tiger, you are also fearless. Nine true fighting light, Tao Qi parallel, big cold and small heat, when coming out from the inside, the most huge. Eliminate the sorrow and eliminate the fierce, the light of water and fire, the fierceness in the house, the great god and the man, into his body, trance and impermanence, the avenue is orthodox, the truth is always done, the evil spirit is quickly extinguished, and the urgency is like the law. ”

I looked at Shi Ling people worriedly, as if I saw the legendary history of Ge Hong holding his breath with a knife in his left hand, drawing the ground as a square, and saying that he was forbidden to breathe. This curse forbidden Taoist patriarch is known as the yin of Heng Mountain, the yang of Taishan, thieves can't afford it, tigers and wolves can't do it, the city is not finished, and it is closed to Jinguan. Because of the sword in the middle of the day, the white tiger is also fearless. Ge Hong's three or five curses to ban the tiger are an example. However, you must know that mantras and forbidden evil spirits are often carried out in conjunction with techniques such as contemplation and qi, that is, when reciting mantras, you must make yourself enter the method of breathing.

It was too late, and the violent collision suddenly occurred in an instant, and the hard bony fins came into contact with the big wooden bottom of the raft, and it turned out to be in the surging white waves, scraping a series of sparks, straight out of more than a meter long!

Then the huge and heavy body of the raft pressed straight down, and with a click, the giant fin of Bai Sensen was bent and broken! The base of the raft that was being cut only left a white mark!

The giant fin, which was three meters high and about five or six meters long, was crushed into three pieces, and the missile went twenty or thirty meters to the left and right, and only fell on the water after cutting through a few waves at high speed, there was a kind of desolation that went with the flow.

The original purpose of the Great Snake was obviously to cut the raft in two directly from the broken raft, and then use its strange power to overturn it, but its plan was deviated from the beginning, and it was a huge deviation!!

Because of Shi Lingren's forbidden technique, his dorsal fin not only failed to cut the raft head, but was crushed alive!!

Then the big black raft was suppressed in an indescribable manner, almost as if it were a mountain. As soon as the skin and flesh of the Dahua snake touched the main body of the raft, the iron-blue texture that was winding on the surface of the raft body suddenly clinged to it as if it came to life, and the Dahua snake roared and roared violently, but the skin and flesh that was in contact with the place were torn apart. And then it dissolved miserably in white smoke!

Just because the Shiling people are chanting: "Zi snake, shakuhachi snake, earth snake, sand lice, poisonous snake, white lizard snake, net snake, python." There are eight kinds of snakes, and the human author must be cured with medicine. The curse said: A tree on the side of the road, a hundred feet without branches, the phoenix's mouth is like silk, I don't know if you go quickly, and you are as anxious as a law. ”

Although the volume of this big snake is almost equal to one-third of the raft, and the strange power is even more amazing, but in the previous collision of that degree, there is still a feeling of stability on the entire raft, and it is just a few shakes, this kind of strong balance is not to say that it is an ordinary big raft, even the destroyer may not be able to catch up!

Although I don't understand what the Shiling people have done, the Dahua snake that has suffered a big loss is also a spiritual creature, so without saying a word, it has to dive into the deep water.

This is the most difficult way to hunt this atavistic animal, and if you can defeat the atavistic animal on land, you can chase it after it even if it escapes, and finally kill it under the horse.

However, hunting these terrifying atavistic creatures of the ocean, even if they can overwhelm them in strength, it is quite difficult for these creatures to escape into the deep water, unless they can be blocked in their nests or their cubs are caught.

Of course, the primitive predators are not without them, waiting for the impatient ones who only want to escape the flesh and blood of the guys, and as soon as they see that the bloody battle and hard work are about to be put to waste, they will jump into the water and chase after them as soon as their heads are hot. At this time, everyone can naturally guess the tragic thing, the combat strength of the injured monster in the water has increased significantly, and the strength of the land overlord has been downshifted when he runs into the water, and the chasing and killing often can't float anymore...... Pythons devour dinosaurs and even giant frogs devour dinosaurs, so that's it!

However, not to mention that the mercenaries themselves are masters of hunting animals, the Shiling people alone have long considered this situation. This kind of murder weapon that has passed the test of time and cursed and forbade thousands of times is inherently a huge nemesis for human beings to deal with all kinds of sharp-toothed and sharp animals! Although the snake is a legendary creature, it also seems to be a snake genus.

It is well known that the deeper the river, the greater the pressure it brings, and the spell that the Shiling people had previously chanted used a secret technique imitated by black magic.

This secret technique is very vicious, and it has a restraining effect on all dragons and snakes.

Different from the nine sons of the dragon, the genus of the dragon and snake of the ancient concept covers a lot, from the real dragon to the horned snake, after all, in their eyes, it is difficult to distinguish, such as whales, dolphins, etc. It was regarded as the same kind by the ancients, not to mention that Dandao believed that yang energy was generated in Pangu, and the yang was clear for the sky, and the yin was turbidity for the earth. Yang Qi is the Yang Qing Qi, although there are Pangu real people to divide it but can not be completely isolated, Yin and Yang Qi are mixed to nurture all things. The relatively even yin and yang in all things evolved into five insects. Those who are more yang become gods, and those whose yang energy is higher than humans are transformed into mountain gods or spirit animals. Those who are in the yin turn into the void, and those who are slightly heavier in the yin qi turn into grass and trees.

As a result, "Da Dai Li Ji Yi Ben Ming" preaches that Nuwa created the world and created all things, which is divided into five elements and five insects: Oriental scale insects, dragons are long, and fish genera; Southern feather insect, phoenix emperor is long, all birds are genus; central nudebug, artificially long, without genus; Western caterpillars, tigers are long, wolf bears are genus; Northern insect, turtle is long, turtle mussel genus. Fu Xi's out, the world is flat, and the five insects are cured; Fu Xi is not, the world is tilted, and the five insects are chaotic.

That is, the ancients divided the animals into five categories, that is, one is the feather insect, the bird phoenix is the long of the feather insect, the second is the caterpillar, the beast, the lion and tiger is the long of the caterpillar, the third is the beetle, and the latter is called the insect, which refers to the insects and aquariums with carapace such as shellfish, crabs, turtles, etc., and the basalt of the turtle evolution is the long beetle. Fourth, scale insects, fish, lizards, snakes and other scaly animals, including winged insects, are naturally considered to be subordinate departments of dragons. Finally, there are insects, also known as beetles, which are naked, that is, the meaning of oligohair-covering, referring to naked apes and humans, frogs, earthworms, etc., collectively known as "five insects".

Among them, the wind emperor is the god bird that the world is very familiar with, the Danxue Mountain in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is a bird in the mountain, shaped like an ordinary chicken, the whole body is colorful feathers, the name is the phoenix bird, its shape is five-colored and text, the first text is said to be de, the wing text is said to be righteous, the back text is said to be lily, the text is said to be benevolent, the belly is said to be a letter, it is a bird, the diet is natural, self-singing and dancing, and the world is peaceful when you see it. The phoenix, the bird of five virtues, was the king of birds in ancient times. The male is called a phoenix, and the female is called a phoenix, and its shape is the head of a chicken, the neck of a snake, the jaw of a swallow, the back of a turtle, and the tail of a fish. As for the pattern on the head, it is in the shape of the character De, the pattern on the wings is in the shape of the character Xi, the pattern on the back is the shape of the character Li, the pattern on the chest is in the shape of the character Ren, and the pattern on the abdomen is the shape of the character for the letter. It is the Confucian god-making movement.

There is also this bird called Phoenix, which eats and drinks very naturally and calmly, often singing and dancing from its own children, and it is even more unknown when the world is peaceful when it appears. In fact, the description of the phoenix in the "Book of Mountains" is very simple, its shape is like a chicken, and the text is five-colored, but it is followed by a few inexplicable words morality, righteousness, reason, benevolence, and faith, to put it bluntly, there is nothing special, but it is just a definition of the pattern of each part of the phoenix's body. Confucius and mortals think that the phoenix is very godly, because the phoenix is an auspicious bird, and when you see it, the world is peaceful.

In ancient times, even in the ancient dynasty of the three emperors and five emperors of the ancient ancestors, the living environment of mortals was very harsh, not only to guard against the attack of wild beasts, but also to guard against human beings killing each other, but also to guard against natural disasters. The most harmful is the military disaster, followed by natural disasters, natural disasters are also the most complex, various types of disasters make mortals fearful, mortals are helpless and begin to want to predict these disasters. The most common way to predict is the proverb. There are many agricultural proverbs in the proverbs, what crops do not recognize the father and mother, and the deep cultivation is more grain. Corn is not dung, only a stick. Hit six or nine heads in the spring, and walk the cattle everywhere. And there are many who pray for peace in the world. Some of the animals in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can predict floods, some can predict fires, some can predict droughts, some can predict military disasters and wind disasters, and of course, there are animals like phoenixes that can predict the peace of the world. Or because of this, the phoenix is common to many national myths and legends, and its characteristics are one is the vermilion bird, the second is the fire nirvana, and the third is the dragon fight.

One theory is that the phoenix first originated from the nine phoenix divine birds of the Chu people. The Classic of Mountains and Seas is the earliest document that records the image of a nine-headed bird. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness North Classic" says: "In the great wilderness, there is a mountain called the Arctic Cabinet. The sea water is injected into the north. There are nine gods, a human face and a bird body, and the sentence is called nine phoenixes". Hundreds of birds out of the phoenix, nine phoenixes are ancient spirit animals, set the aura in the phoenix fire and burned under the flames of the phoenix, so that there is a phoenix body, and Qiang Liang is the same as the god of the Arctic cabinet mountain. It integrates the three powers of fire, fierceness and fire. She usually likes to take off from a distance and then dive as hard as she can, slashing her prey with her sharp claws, a stance that, combined with her agility, makes it impossible for her enemies to fight back. The nine phoenixes in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are undoubtedly a holy bird or a sacred bird. But since then, the nine phoenixes have mysteriously disappeared from ancient Chinese texts, and have been replaced by a variety of nine-headed birds with other strange names, which not only completely lost their sacredness, but also became a strange bird, ghost bird, or demon bird over time.

The author of the Book of Mountains thinks that the phoenix is an ordinary bird, but he thinks that another bird is a strange bird. There are strange birds in Yangshan and Guanxiang Mountain, these strange birds have not even seen their appearance, and they have no name, which has aroused great interest in the world, it turns out that the author of the mountain scripture is not omniscient, he can only use strange birds to summarize these unknown birds. They are honest! There are also the world's inexplicable sacred birds and Kunlun hills, there are birds, its name is quail birds, it is the emperor's hundred clothes. The author of the Book of Mountains does not think that this bird is magical, it is a bird, it is not strange, and it is not a god, but the world cannot explain what he said! The main difficulty lies in the hundred clothes, which can be used with Fu and Fu, and have the meaning of business or things, such as farming, serving fields, and serving horses, all of which have similar meanings. Of course, it can also be interpreted as clothes or tribes and places, the author of the Mountain Sutra is very honest, and the birds, beasts and fish that he does not know will be collectively called strange birds, monsters, and strange fish.

The author of the "Book of Mountains" did not think that many birds and beasts with three heads and six arms, six eyes and four ears were strange, but said that there were even stranger animals than them, and those strange birds and beasts may be hidden too deep for people to discover, or simply cannot be described in words. Therefore, the author of the mountain scripture let out a sigh and went from Mishan to Zhongshan, four hundred and sixty miles, and all of them were in the meantime. It's a lot of strange birds, monsters, and strange fish, all of which are foreign objects! There are birds, its shape is like black, human face, the name is like a bird, flying at night and lurking in the day, and the food has been lost. This is supposed to be a kind of owl, but in fact, the owl's face is not like a human face, but more like a monkey's face. However, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song dynasties, the names of "nine-headed birds" in ancient documents are roughly ghost birds, ghost car birds, cormorants, Gu Bird, female birds, and so on.

"Taiping Yulan" contains: "There are nine birds in the back garden of Qi, red in color, like ducks, and all nine are singing. "Jiufeng seems to have transformed into a red nine-headed monster duck. The Song people's Zhou Mi's "Qi Dongye Yu" said: "The ghost car bird, commonly known as the nine-headed bird...... It is said that there are ten songs of this bird, one of which is devoured by dogs, and so far the blood drops of people, can be the blame for the disaster. Therefore, those who hear it will scold the dog to extinguish the lamp, so as to quickly pass the ......" The image of Jiufeng has been cut off by a dog, and the demon bird can drip blood. It is not difficult to see from the middle world that the nine-phoenix divine bird revered by the Chu people has been completely demonized by the world into a ghost bird with an "ugly image, violent temperament, soul-stirring, dripping blood to bring disasters, and snatching people's parents and sons", and the nine-headed bird has almost become a catastrophe that everyone fears. How can the nine phoenixes, which are sacred objects, be wantonly scandalized and demonized by all kinds of ancient books?

In history, it is said that the phoenix clan of Southern Chu defeated the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and fled to the Chishui tribe, and the two clans exchanged friendships, and the phoenix gave the Vermilion Bird and the nine phoenixes to guard their clan, so the phoenix was scandalized. Just like the god of the Dongyi tribe in ancient China, Chiyou, in the Huaxia tribe, he has become a monster that can fly sand and stones. At the same time, it is well documented that Zhou and Chu have always been rivals. King Zhao of Zhou led his army to conquer Jingchu, but died in the Han River and became a ghost in a foreign land. "Water Jing Shui Note" records: "King Zhao crossed the water, the water flowed and died, and he died by the water." From this, the degree of hatred of the Zhou people towards the Chu people can be imagined. After that, King Chuzhuang overlorded the Central Plains and asked "Jiuding" in the suburbs of Luoyang, which doubled the Zhou people's "fear of Chu and fear of Chu". During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu successively destroyed 61 countries. The Zhou people described the worship of the nine phoenixes of the Chu people as monsters, and made up the story of the tengu cutting off one of them, which seems to be in line with this convention. It is often said that "the dragon and the tiger fight", but in the pre-Qin artworks, the dragon and tiger never fought. However, in the embroidery and other works of art of the Chu people, "dragon and phoenix fighting" is not uncommon. The status of the tiger in the hearts of the Chu people is lower than that of the dragon, it is just a royal object that the giant phoenix steps on its feet, and it can also be imagined that the Zhou people and other enemies of Chu may also belittle the phoenix and the phoenix, and even wantonly scandalize and demonize the phoenix.

Although the world has changed over time, Jiufeng has become the Taoist protector god Vermilion Bird, but it is the characteristics of the phoenix unchanged or even carried forward, representing the southern Vermilion Bird is another incarnation of the phoenix, and has become the ancestor of the Yin Shang Dynasty God Xuanniao, the first of the Suihuang period of the southern fire is Zhurong's subordinate officials. Later born Shang Dynasty ancestor deed, become the Shang Dynasty protection of the holy beast, Zhu is red, like fire, the south belongs to fire, and means the blood of the phoenix. It also has the property of being reborn from fire. The seven houses of the south: well, ghost, willow, star, zhang, wing, and Zhen are incubated by the red bird, and the well is a water bird that is a crane, a ghost, also known as a ghost. "Rhyme": "Zhong Ye", so the ghost can be understood as the meaning of the ghosts; "Saying": "Yu, the bottom of the car is also", the four stars of the ghost house are square, like a car, which may be another meaning.

"Butian Song": "The four-star album is like a wooden cabinet, and the white one in the center accumulates corpse gas", "Watching the Elephant and Playing Occupation": "The ghost is white like powder in the center, which is called the corpse gas." A heavenly corpse, the main death and funeral shrine. In the popular Japanese manga "Saint Seiya", the trick of the Cancer Gold Saint Seiya is called "Corpse Qi Underworld Wave, on the whole, the ghost house is the ghost car bird, a nine-headed bird, also called the nine phoenixes." Liu, originally known as 咮, is the meaning of a bird's beak, which is similar to the meaning of Jiaosu as a dragon's horn. Stars, also known as the Seven Stars, "Historical Records ̇ Tianguan Shu": "Seven Stars, Neck, for the Official, the Lord is in a hurry", "Historical Records ̇ Suoyin": "Neck, Vermilion Bird Neck also." Officer, throat also. The thing is in the throat, and it will not stay long after, so the Lord is in a hurry. "Among the seven Nakshatras in the south, the brightest is the Nakshatra, which may be the heart of the Suzaku Bird.

Zhang and Yi are also taken from the vermilion bird, "Erya": "Bird Zhang Hu", the note says: "Oh, the place where the bird eats." "Historical Records ̇ Book of Heavenly Officials": "Wings are feathers". The twenty-two stars of the wings are shaped like the wings of a bird. Legend has it that the royal family of the bird family is the phoenix family, the lowest is the Luan bird, the high is the phoenix bird, and the high is the Xuanniao, also known as the red bird, and the highest is the mother of the phoenix, the mother of the bird. The original meaning of the lacquer box is the writing car on the lid of the lacquer box, which belongs to the constellation of Crows, "Xibu Tiange": "The four pearls of the Suzhou are not equal, and Changsha is hidden in the middle of a black color", Changsha is a fifth-magnitude star, and the scientific name is Zeta Star in the constellation of Crows. And Xuanniao's statement is from the "Book of Songs". Shang Song. Xuanniao said: "The Xuanniao of Destiny descends to give birth to business, and it is full of earth." The ancient emperor ordered martial arts soup, and the four sides of the positive domain. ”

The third generation of the Xia Shang dynasty eliminated the tradition of Zen concession. Especially from the beginning of King Wu's war, there are no two heavens and no two people, and the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, and only one king is allowed to exist in a group, because the beliefs provided by the clansmen in the tribe and the kings provided by the subjects are only allowed to be exclusive. If there are two kings in a clan, the clan is divided unless one of them surrenders or dies. Of course, there are also situations where kings coexist, for example, since there are Qingluan and Xuanniao in the Phoenix clan, because they are jointly subordinated to the Lord of the Hundred Birds, Phoenix, and become the status of a vassal king whose strength is not far from that of the king, but whose status is slightly lower. But from the beginning of the era of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, the dragon and the phoenix are not mutually exclusive.

This phenomenon of dragon fighting also appears in Tianzhu, and the evidence is Garuda, which is a kind of golden-winged bird in the myth of Tianzhu, which is extremely large, and it is said that there are 3.36 million miles of wings spread. Its wings are solemn and red, its body is golden, and there is a large tumor on its head, which is a wishful pearl. This birdsong is mournful and feeds on dragons. It eats one dragon and 500 baby dragons a day. At the end of its life, the dragons vomited poison and could no longer eat it, so they flew up and down seven times and flew to the top of the Vajra Wheel Mountain to die. Because it has been feeding on dragons all its life, it has accumulated a lot of poisonous gas in its body, and when it is dying, it burns itself with poison, and then rises from the flames. Just like "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the West of the Sea", "Kunlun South Abyss, three hundred miles deep." The enlightened beast body is a large tiger and nine heads, all of which are human-faced, and stand on Kunlun in the east. There are phoenix luanbirds in the enlightened west, all carrying snakes and trampling snakes, and there are red snakes on their arms. "Therefore, the phoenix fire is the nemesis of all dragons and snakes.

And "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" said that Shao Hao was like a child, and he invented a bow and arrow, and said that Emperor Jun gave Yi a red bow and white feather arrows. The Dongyi people, represented by Taihao and Shaohao, are important founders of China. Yi from the bow from the great, that is, the one who wields the bow. In the legend of Houyi shooting the sun, there are ten days in the sky, which is not so much explained by meteorological holidays, but rather the continuation of the concept of Xi and Sheng's ten days in the folk. When I was a child, I saw the New Year painting of "Chang'e Running to the Moon", first Yi shot for nine days, and then Chang'e took immortal medicine and flew to the moon. The legend of the sun and the moon is connected as one, corresponding to the legend of the second wife of the emperor in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Indians say "Xihe mother, Changxi mother, day mother and aunt of the universe", and the epitaph of Kim Yuxin, the general of Unified Silla, says: "The descendant of Xuanyuan, the Yin ...... of Shaohao" The ancient history of Korea said that the mother of the ancestor of Silla was born with a chicken mouth, and the pottery unearthed in Gyeongju, the former capital of Silla, was engraved with a female image of a chicken head and a human body. Legend has it that the kings of Silla were all oviparous. The ancestors of King Wei Zou Nishi came from Jilin and called himself Shaohao Jin Tian, so his surname was Jin. In ancient times, Dongyi, from East China, Northeast China to Southeast Asia and the Americas, most of them are descendants of Taihao and Shaohao.

It is the descendants of the Yin Shang who say that their ancestor, the Qi, was born by the Xuanniao and established the powerful Shang Dynasty. Therefore, Xuanniao became the ancestor of merchants. Historical Records. Yin Benji also recorded this history: "Yin Qi, the mother is called Jian Di, there is a daughter of Rong Di, and she is the second concubine of the emperor...... The three of them took a bath, and saw the Xuanniao with its eggs, and Jian Di took it and swallowed it, because of the pregnancy contract. "Whether it is a bird or a phoenix, it follows the development of Taoism, and it is changed from a bird or a peacock into a half-human and half-bird, the Nine Heavens Xuannu who inherits the art of war to a fairy who is completely human, all of which follow the development of the Yin and Yang Family, the Five Elements Family and Taoism in the future. can be described as the earliest Internet celebrity.

This kind of national cultural gene connects Dongyi with the Yin Shang of the local people, which is a leap in the development of human self-understanding. Therefore, later generations said that the nine phoenixes of the Chu people were ten and one was bitten off by the tengu, obviously integrating their own "ten" psychology. Many folklorists believe that the world's wanton demonization of the nine phoenix birds probably began in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Qin and Han dynasties until the Tang and Song dynasties. The cause should be a kind of "fear of Chu and fear of Chu" psychology and the inheritance of "only the dragon alone" from generation to generation. And this psychology comes from the ancient gods of ancient times.

The Tang Wu Revolution, King Wu cut down, traced back to the origin, just because the Chu in the Zhou Dynasty refers to the southern Chu Man, that is, the Xiong Ying tribe who rebelled with the Shang Zhou prince Wu Geng, and the Xu people, Qunshu, Zhao, and Qin nobles are mostly descendants of the Dongyi Shaohao group, which belongs to the non-my race. I want to be after the Jedi Tiantong, the human race entered the Shaohao Jintian era and the Yanhuang Five Emperors era respectively. Fuxi and Nuwa inherited the primitive civilization of the Suiren clan, and Fuxi Nuwa's human-faced snake body can also be regarded as insects. They created a golden age in which ancient gods and humans coexisted peacefully. The Suiren clan group living on the Kunlun Mountains was forced to move in two ways due to the snow line moving down. One route goes from south to east, enters the south of the Yangtze River, and develops into the Suiren Miaoman Group. One route goes from north to east, enters the east of Taihang Mountain in the Yellow River Basin, and develops into the Suiren's Fuxi Group.

The Miao Man Group is the Black Tiger Branch of the Suiren Clan; Fuxi Group is the Suiren's cattle and sheep branch. Fuxi implemented primitive agriculture on the Loess Plateau in Longxi. Hence the name of its clan as Fuxi. Fuxi is not only a personal name, but also a clan name, and at the same time it is synonymous with the "country" of an era. Become the recognized leader of the Terran clan alliance groups everywhere. The dragon snake divine descendants of the Nuwa clan and the Fuxi clan both belong to the Fuxi clan, which is a family line of two generations of marriage. The two ethnic groups alternated with each other and divided the world equally, forming the Fuxi Nuwa regime. As in the Aboriginal mythology of Australia, three siblings, two women and one man, created the continent of Australia and hid it in the midst of plants. They come from hell and are eaten in the end. Two of the women pierced their skin to make the world's holiest amulet. One of them was the goddess of rain.

During this period, the environment was extremely cruel, and natural disasters claimed many precious lives. Nuwa used clay to create a "new human" and a new human society. He also established a marriage system for the new mankind, so that young men and women would marry each other and reproduce. After the Feng surname Fuxi migrated to the lower reaches of the ancient Yellow River, many branches were formed, and Shaohao Jin Tian was one of the branches, Shaohao Jin Tian, which later developed into a clan group with 25 branches, called Dongyi Shaohao Group. "Spring and Autumn Destiny Calendar Preface" said that Shaohao passed on the 8th generation, 500 years, "Yiwei Audit Map" said that it was 400 years, and the Qingyang clan had four strong expeditions in the later period. The monarch of Qingyang, the camp is not governed, the ministers compete for power, the distance does not listen to each other, the country is divided into eight, "Yi Zhou Shu Historical Notes".

The battle of Zhuolu led the twenty-five clans in the headquarters, united with the descendants of Emperor Yan, Gonggong, Kuafu and Jiuli and Miao of the Chiyou clan, and attacked the Yellow Emperor in a big way. After the defeat of the army, the minister belonged to the Yanhuang group, and later established a close exchange relationship with the Yellow Emperor, such as he took in and raised the Yellow Emperor's grandson Zhuan Xuan to take over his position as the leader of the Dongyi Tribal Alliance. And the ancestor of the Chu people was from the Emperor Gaoyang clan. The fifth generation of Wu Hui after Emperor Zhuan, is the fire of Emperor Gao Xin, in charge of heavenly fire and earth fire, can melt the world, Wu Hui's son Lu Zhong, gave birth to six sons, the youngest son is called Ji Lian, surnamed Mi, is the ancestor of Chu. Ji Lian was called Xiong Xiong, who was the teacher of King Wen of Zhou, and his great-grandson Xiong Yi, when he became a king, he was named Chu Zi, which means the viscount of Chu Land.

Prior to this, the Gonggong clan, the god of floods in the west, often manipulated floods to harm living beings, and Nuwa was angry and ordered the fire to lead the northern expedition of the southern tribe to the Gonggong clan. The end of the battle between the two sides was the defeat of the Gonggong clan, led the tribe to the west, angrily attacked the sacred land of the sacrifice to the heavens Buzhou Mountain, the Gonggong led the tribe to attack the top of the mountain, cut down the Tianqi Jianmu, cut off the eight-rope line, set the table to the southeast, the table rope was broken, the eight-dimensional inaccuracy, the symbol of the royal power of the worship center was seriously damaged. Nuwa also ordered the Lilian clan to lead the clan and the Zhurong clan to jointly attack the Gonggong clan and drive the Gonggong clan to the north of Qilian Mountain. Due to the destruction of the Tianqi surface tree, the observation of celestial phenomena and the prediction of weather changes could not be carried out normally. As a result, the great flood of that summer came, and the people were unaware of the sudden flood, and many tribesmen were buried in the flood. The Great Flood brought unprecedented disasters to the Fuxi clan that arose in the North China Plain, and some ancient gods caused trouble, and many people died in the flood. Survivors were forced to leave their homeland where they had lived for decades and migrate to unfamiliar highlands and mountains. The Great Migration caused tribal survivors to compete for new territories, causing wars within the Fuxi clan group, and thus gradually declining the powerful Fuxi Nuwa regime. At this time, the Shaodian clan and the Youyu clan who stayed in the area of ancient Kunlun Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Buzhou Mountain and Qin'an Dadiwan gradually prospered, and they migrated to the Changyang Mountain area of the Qinling Mountains, rebuilt the Guantian sacrifice center, developed and multiplied the "Yanhuang clan", and successively established the Yandi regime and the Yellow Emperor regime.

Emperor Yan's Kui clan originated in Changyang Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, just like the later generations of King Zhao Wuling and Peter the Great, the Kui clan in his youth was ambitious. In order to realize his lofty ideal of ruling the world, at the age of 16, he often traveled to various places on his own, learned about the local customs and geographical environment, and personally grasped all kinds of valuable information and materials. Through several years of activities and investigations, we have basically figured out the inside story of the Fuxi Nuwa regime. He believed that the best time had come to replace the regime of the Fuxi Nuwa clan and the two saints of the Linchao dynasty. However, it is difficult to win with the strength of the Kui tribe alone, and it is necessary to unite other tribes. At present, the strongest forces are the major tribes in the south, especially the Chishui tribe. In order to persuade the Chishui clan, he went to the Chishui tribe in the south alone for a friendly visit. Kui Kui won the respect of all the people of the Chishui tribe with his outstanding talent.

The young female leader of the Chishui clan, Tingyu, also took a fancy to his talent and begged Kui Kui to marry her and let Kui stay with her for the rest of her life. and promised to give him the position of the great chief of the Chishui clan. This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Soon, Kui Kui became the chief of the Chishui tribe. He led the tribes of the Chishui clan to the east along the Yangtze River Valley, conquering dozens of tribes of all sizes and increasing his power greatly. He was soon elevated to the position of Grand Chief of the Southern Tribal Clan Alliance. As a result, Kui Kui proclaimed himself the Red Emperor and confronted the Fuxi Nuwa regime, which was active in the Yellow River valley of the Central Plains.

At this point, Kui Kui was called the emperor, announced that "the world is the king of fire virtue", changed the word "deficit" in the emperor's name to the word "Yan", and was called Emperor Yan. Shang Yang is the totem of the Yandi clan, and the surname Jiang is the national surname of the Yandi clan. Zhu Rongnu, a member of the Kui clan, was famous for her outstanding talent and virtue when she was young. The Kui clan saw that she was a good seedling, so they focused on cultivating him, and in his later years, he made her the heir to the throne. In 4827 BC, Kui Kui died, and Zhu Rong ascended the throne. At the beginning of Zhu Rong's accession to the throne, he tried to expand to the Central Plains, but at this time there were disputes within the clan, and several major branches of the Yan Emperor clan wanted to compete for the throne. Zhurong Empress Changqin was established as the heir to the throne, but the Gonggong clan was not satisfied, causing civil strife. Gonggong, who is also a member of the Kuikui clan, is a very ambitious person, and he thinks that his talent is the best in the world, and he will inherit the throne in the future. But Zhu Rong didn't buy his account and decided to set up his eldest son Changqin as the heir to the throne. Gonggong resolutely opposed it, believing that Changqin was young and virtuous, and he was unworthy of being an emperor. The emperor is the ruler of a country, and he should be the residence of a virtuous person. The implication is that I am the only one who deserves to be the heir to the throne.

Discord within the clan shook the dominance of the Kui clan's regime, another branch of the Yan Emperor, the Yan Emperor who rose in the Luoshui Valley, the Shennong clan became stronger, and the Shennong clan led the tribes of the Central Plains to join the west on the grounds of rebellion, defeating the Kui clan, Zhu Rong was defeated, and had to give up the throne. With the support of the major clans and tribes in the Central Plains, the Shennong clan naturally sat on the throne. Only the co-workers were not convinced, and led the headquarters to move eastward. Gonggong belongs to the Yandi clan, as the god of water, Gonggong has a human face, hands and feet, and a snake body. According to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Sea of the Sea": "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, listened to the Yanju and gave birth to Yanju, Yanju gave birth to the festival, and the festival gave birth to the opera, and the drama gave birth to Zhurong, and Zhurong descended in the river, and worked together." Song Luomi's "History of the Road, Later Ji II" notes "Returning to Tibet and Qizhen": "The common workers have a snake face and red hair. "Legend has it that Gonggong is the god of water. "The Seventeenth Year of Zhao Gong of Zuo": "The Gonggong clan is named after the water discipline, so it is the name of the water master. "Pipe Degree": "The king of co-workers, the seventh tithing in the water, the third tithe in the land, take advantage of the momentum of the sky to control the husband." "Huainan Ziben Sutra Training": "When Shun, the joint work vibrates the flood and uses the thin empty mulberry. "The most authored of the myth of Gonggong is the battle between Gonggong and Zhuan. "Huainanzi Astronomical Training": "In the past, the people worked together and were angry and could not touch the mountain, the heavenly pillar was broken, the earth was destroyed, the sky was tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars shifted; The land is not in the southeast, so the water and dust return. ”

At this time, it was the period when the descendants of the ancient gods and the major clan groups of the ancient ancestors competed for hegemony, in addition to the Yan Emperor Shennong, there were also the Yan Emperor Kui clan Gonggong regime united with the Dongyi Shaohao clan, the Shihuang Cangjie clan regime that occupied the north of the Yellow River east of Taihang Mountain, the Shaodian Xuanyuan clan regime that arose in the northwest of Hebei, and the Jiuli Chiyou clan regime that originated in the Sanggan River Valley. The five major groups all wanted to be the hegemon of China, invaded each other, and the Terran War entered an era of barbaric war. In the era of the clan alliance, there was no unified king of the world, and the tribes were largely independent from each other. Whether it was the Fuxi Nuwa clan or the Yan Emperor Shennong clan, the area they ruled was limited, and it was impossible for them to become the king of the world. Chiyou clan was the first to enter the east of the Taihang Mountains, developed most of the area north of the Yellow River, and assimilated the local people with more advanced cultural ideas, the Chiyou clan was the first tribe in Chinese history to invent and create smelting brass and even wind-ground copper, and was also the first tribe to invent the use of bronze to cast weapons and tools.

Similar to the snake people who fought with us before, the Chiyou army at that time had advanced bronze weapons, fought bravely, conquered everything, was invincible, and became the overlord. During the reign of the snake god, nine tribes in the north successively submitted to the Chiyou tribe. Chi You thought that this was a good foundation for him to enter the Central Plains, and personally led the soldiers selected from the eighty-one tribes, put on gold and bronze helmets, gold and bronze armor, and brought gold and bronze weapons, and went out to the south of Yishui, crossed the Yellow River, and fought with the army of Emperor Yan Shennong. The Shennong clan was unable to support it alone, so they had to ask the Xuanyuan clan in northern Hebei for help. Previously, the Xuanyuan clan in the north expanded outward and invaded the area ruled by the Cangjie clan, but Cangjie was unable to resist and led the people to surrender to the Xuanyuan clan. went to the emperor and promised to donate food and property to the Xuanyuan clan every year. Later, the Xuanyuan clan was proclaimed emperor and established the Xuanyuan regime of the Yellow Emperor.

Chinese often call themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and regard Emperor Yan and Huangdi as the ancestors of their own race, but they are not very clear about the origins of the two ancestors. Even now, there are often imperial court departments that organize sages to study and verify the hometown of the Yellow Emperor, and they also fight a lawsuit for this. Everyone is vying to be the little fellow of the Yellow Emperor, the reason is very simple, with the Yellow Emperor covering, isn't it a gesture to develop tourism points? Perhaps because of the scramble, everyone was a little confused, and the glorious image of the Yellow Emperor seemed to be overshadowed. Presumably, even if the Yellow Emperor is underground today, I'm afraid he won't even be able to fill in his resume. First of all, the name is a problem, and the "Historical Records" says that his surname is Gongsun and his name is Xuanyuan, which seems to be very clear. But there are also people who say that their surname is Ji...... Sima Qian himself said that at that time in the Western Han Dynasty, there were already different opinions about the Yellow Emperor, and even the old gentleman who was full of poetry and books couldn't say why, and he guessed it himself. As for the place of origin, there is no score. When Sima Qian traveled all over the world, the local outstanding figures declared by the court officials in various places basically had the Yellow Emperor. The most difficult thing to fill in is family background and personal composition.

Many historians have tried to verify the true face of the Yellow Emperor, Yang Kuan believes that the legend of the Yellow Emperor is out of the word "emperor", the original name of God, not a proper name, so the gods of the Eastern and Western races - Emperor Jun, Emperor Yu, Zhuan, Yao, Shun - myths, all infiltrated into it. In other words, the Yellow Emperor is actually very empty, originally it was just a title for people's highest position, and later it was stuffed into this position with various contents such as name, age, place of origin, and composition. You stuff a little, I stuff a little, and contradictions are inevitable. And because the Yellow Emperor is a virtual shell, everyone can stuff the content as needed, so the image of the Yellow Emperor is very flexible. In his bones, the Yellow Emperor is just an "emperor" who can be dressed up. Of course, as the common ancestor of the Chinese ethnic group and the "first ancestor of humanity", the Yellow Emperor really became the mainstream of people's understanding of the Yellow Emperor after eliminating absurd miracles.

However, in the Confucian system of sage-kings, there is never a place for the Yellow Emperor. The Confucian preaching system is calculated from Yao, Shun, and Yu. This is probably because the Yellow Emperor's immortal qi and ancestral qi can not be removed, and the Confucians have to follow Confucius's principle of "not talking about strangeness, force, chaos, and gods", and the Yellow Emperor wants to join the Elite Association, but the number of votes is always insufficient. If the records about the Yellow Emperor are combined, the Yellow Emperor has at least the following identities: First, the most common saying among the immortals should be God, and there are many legends in this regard. For example, the Yellow Emperor once carried out a ghost and god parade ceremony on the West Mount Tai, the scene was absolutely grand, there were six dragons driving the car, Bi Fang held the reins, Chi You opened the way, and then there was the wind and rain division in front, there were tigers and wolves in front, there were ghosts and gods in the back, the phoenix was above, the snake was below, and the parade march "Qingjiao" was also played.

This kind of pomp and circumstance seems to be difficult for the later immortals to surpass. The Yellow Emperor has a full house of children and grandchildren, and he is a family ruler. One son Yu and the other grandson Yu manage the East China Sea and the other North Sea. Sun Tzu 颛顼 is the main deity who rules the Dao Kingdom after him. The later Jade Emperor, if you dig deeper, also has the shadow of the Yellow Emperor, but he was just carried out a general election. Second, a rare holy king through the ages. According to the standard statement of the imperial courts of previous dynasties, the Yellow Emperor was the monarch of the Holy Ming Dynasty, which was rare in ancient times. Sima Qian's record is relatively faithful, and he did not over-praise the Yellow Emperor, at most it means that he was born to speak, no matter what he taught, he was a typical genius child. Then it wasn't right.

Genius children are still a little far away from the emperor, so like the later emperors, the vision of the Yellow Emperor's birth was also added to the resume, for example, there is a book that says that the Yellow Emperor's mother Fubao went out on an outing one day, and was electrocuted by something in the forest, and as a result, she became pregnant with the Yellow Emperor. - Twenty-five months pregnant before giving birth to him. Being a virtuous monarch is not easy, especially as a groundbreaking emperor. Therefore, many inventions and creations were also placed on the Yellow Emperor, such as building carriages and canoes, teaching everyone to make rice, making pots, digging wells, making clothes, and even including the surname system, marriage system, and household registration system. Anyway, most of the scientific and technological inventions and dynastic systems that brought mankind into civilized dynasties, people applied for patents for the Yellow Emperor. At the same time, the later Dan Dao paid attention to the practice of the Tuna method, and its ideal was to live forever and ascend in the day. In order to promote the benefits of Taoism, he took the lead in using the Yellow Emperor as his image spokesperson. There is a deep meaning in doing this, even the most powerful person in the world, the Yellow Emperor, wants to seek immortals, do others still need to say it? There is such a story in "Zhuangzi", saying that the Yellow Emperor has been the Son of Heaven for 19 years, and he heard that Guangchengzi, the first head of the Kongtong faction, practiced very well, so he went to ask for advice on the art of immortality. Guangchengzi talked about the way of practice, what is the harmony of yin and yang, longevity and long-term vision, and the sun and the moon in the light, and the heaven and the earth as normal, said that the Yellow Emperor was itchy and unbearable, and then heard Guangchengzi say that he was more than 1,200 years old, and he was even more shocked, and immediately kowtowed to the teacher. After learning Guang Chengzi's tricks, he continued to search for famous teachers and did everything possible to collect secret books for cultivating immortals. Now that the organization has been decided, Huang Laodao needs to set up a monument to the Yellow Emperor. But if you can make some inventions and creates, you are at most a science and technology enthusiast, and the key is to set an example in terms of concept and morality. As a result, stories about benevolence and righteousness are also made up. For example, there is a story that says: When the Yellow Emperor first ascended the throne, he was a humble gentleman and did not like to use knives and guns, but the other four emperors were not convinced, and they wanted to clean up the Yellow Emperor and fight with him all day long. The Yellow Emperor sighed, isn't this forcing me to do it? had to start a war with the other four, and the result was in response to the prophecy of "the benevolent is invincible", and the Yellow Emperor made a move, destroying all the guys who didn't know each other. This is the historical legacy of the dragon snake, mainly in terms of origin.

Along with the suppression of the dragon and snake, the god-making movement of the Yellow Emperor was also very successful. Originally, he only sat down after defeating Emperor Yan and Chiyou, but in the pen of some historians, he relied on virtue to influence his opponents, just because the people of the Cangjie clan were named historians by the Yellow Emperor, responsible for recording and sorting out historical classics. After the Xuanyuan clan destroyed the Cangjie clan's regime, its power increased greatly and began to compete with the Yandi Shennong clan's regime, the Jiuli Chiyou clan's regime, and the Dongyi Shaohao group. After that, Chi You joined forces with the Dongyi Shaohao Group and the descendants of the Yan Emperor Kui Kui clan and the Kuafu tribe to attack the Yan Emperor Shennong clan living in the Yiluo region. Shennong was defeated, so he had to ask the Xuanyuan clan in northern Hebei for help, and at this point, the first large-scale barbaric war on the Chinese clan alliance began in the wilderness under Zhuolu Mountain. On one side is the alliance army of the Shaodian Xuanyuan clan and the Yandi Shennong clan and the Fuxi Nuwa clan, and on the other side is the alliance army of the Jiuli Chiyou clan and the Dongyi Shaohao clan, the descendants of the Kui clan Gonggong and the Kuafu clan, and the emperor Jun's widow Donghuang Taiyi. The war was fought for three years, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Xuanyuan knew that it would be difficult to be sure of victory if he continued to fight, so he took the initiative to negotiate peace with Chiyou Jun, and the two sides made a truce. Xuanyuan knew that his ability to command operations was far inferior to Chiyou, and after the armistice, he went to Bowang Mountain alone to learn the art of war, studied hard for three years, and mastered many offensive and defensive strategies. After he returned home from the mountain, he spent another three years training the army in actual combat, and finally felt that he was sure of victory, so he launched the Zhuolu War again. The two armies are facing each other, Chi You is wearing the latest wind-milled copper armor, copper head and iron forehead, plus the body is strong and thick, the Yellow Emperor is clothed and fed every day, pampered and pampered, how can he do it? So the Yellow Emperor said: "Let's not fight the courage of the horseman, let's try witchcraft!" "Where did you think that Chiyou is also a good hand at witchcraft. The Yellow Emperor first summoned the dragon to store water, wanting to flood the Seventh Army; Chi You invited the wind and rain master, blowing smoke and spray, the fog was so thick that the Yellow Emperor's subordinates couldn't even find the north. As a result, the floods were everywhere, and they suffered on the contrary.

The Yellow Emperor invited the goddess of drought, to help in the war, and finally stopped the wind and rain and killed Chiyou. Drought is the prototype of the zombies of later generations, but she is also an outlier among the immortals. Although she is a fairy, she looks very ugly, less than a meter tall, only one hand, one leg, and one eye, and this eye is still on the top of her head, and what's worse is that although she is a god, when she went down to help the Yellow Emperor, she used up all her spells, and she had no ability to go back to the sky, so she had to stay in the world. And as long as she stays, there will be a drought year after year; In order to fight drought, people invented all kinds of witchcraft to expel drought. - The original hero is now shouted and beaten by everyone, pitiful! Xuanyuan listened to the strategy of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, so that the warriors infiltrated the Lingshan Mountain, the ancestral spirit sacrifice place of the Chiyou clan, entered the dragon pond of the Xuanyou clan, killed the Lingyu of the Chiyou tribe to worship and worship, and skinned the Xuanniu, made a snare drum, and beat it in the army, confusing the heart of the Chiyou army. Taking advantage of the low morale of the Chiyou army, the Xuanyuan army launched a fierce attack again, and the Chiyou army was defeated. The emperor beheaded his head and buried it, and the head turned into a blood maple forest.

There were many tyrants in ancient times, such as Xia Wei, Shang Xuan, and Qin Shi Huang; It stands to reason that this hat is difficult to buckle on the head of the Yellow Emperor. For 5,000 years, most people have been putting gold on the face of the Yellow Emperor, and it is unbelievable to say that the Yellow Emperor is a tyrant. However, archaeological results are extremely lethal, and often sweep away the original sense of sacredness in the hearts of the world, so that the truth of life can be truly displayed. In the 70s of the 20th century, a lot of treasures were unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha, southern Hunan, among which there was a silk book that said that after the Yellow Emperor caught Chiyou, he peeled off his skin to make an arrow target, made a banner with his hair, made a leather ball with his stomach, and made his flesh and bones into a meat soup, so that everyone could taste it. Although Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi described the dynasty on the eve of the civilization of the three generations as splendid, who would dare to go back with such an emperor? Later Confucianism publicized that the Yellow Emperor was especially a "soldier master". In the end, under the propaganda of Heavenly Master Dao, he made a fight with Guan Yu, and let Guan Yu step on Chi You and become a martial saint.

The smoke of the Battle of Zhuolu had just dissipated, and a new war was brewing, and this new war broke out within the Yanhuang Alliance. The Yanhuang Alliance was established at the time of the invasion of foreign enemies, and the alliance formed by these two in-laws tribes was first led by Emperor Yan. However, in the war against foreign invasions, the Yan Emperor gradually lost his authority, but the Yellow Emperor won the trust of the tribes with his wisdom and courage in the war, and gradually established an unrivaled authority as the army he led defeated Chiyou. The contradictions have become irreconcilable, and the former allies have finally turned against each other. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang each led their own tribes to prepare for a fight. However, although the war did not start, the outcome was predictable. The Yellow Emperor clan has famous generals such as Fenghou, Dahong, and Limu, and an elite division honed in the war, and the support of many tribes, while Emperor Yan's army is made up of old and weak women and children. The Battle of Hanquan was not as fierce as the Battle of Zhuolu, but it still went through three battles before Emperor Yan's army was finally defeated and Emperor Yan was captured.

The Yellow Emperor released Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan Shennong had no choice but to lead the whole clan to surrender. The Yanhuang group gathered forces to march towards Dijun, and after a fierce battle, Dijun was finally defeated, and thus the era of clan alliance ended. In the era of the gods, the Yin people founded the Shang Dynasty, the Xuanniao gave birth to the Shang, the mother of the country is the first phoenix, and the most admired emperor of the Yin people is Di Jun, and the reason for its demise is actually the purging activities of the Yan Huang group that assimilated the dragon and snake descendants of the emperor and the remnants of the emperor. This purge lasted for a long time, and even when Qin Shi Huang, a powerful Qin Shi Huang from the west, ruled the country, the Southern Barbarian Chu State was still its biggest obstacle and enemy.

Qin Shi Huang once sent Li Xin, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty Li Guang Zengzu to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Chu, but was defeated by the Chu general Xiang Yan, and almost the entire army was wiped out. After that, the general Wang Jian used a vast army of 600,000 to sweep the Chu State in one fell swoop. After Qin destroyed Chu, a person who called himself "Nangong" asserted: "Although Chu has three households, Qin will die in Chu." This remark quickly became a folk song that was enough to make the Qin Dynasty shudder. What's even more incredible is that after more than 10 years, Chu people Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up and took the lead in attacking. Immediately afterwards, the Chu people Xiang Yu and Liu Bang gathered people to oppose Qin, but the Qin Dynasty finally died at the hands of a group of Chu people. I don't know if it's a coincidence or an inevitability. And the ensuing Chu-Han war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, although Xiang Yu was defeated in the sound of "embattled", had already made the dragon Han Gaozu sweat coldly.
