Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Remains of the Ancestors
Feng Qiyun wandered about the hill alone, and it was not long before he smiled knowingly, and leaned down to pull out a strange-looking grass from the rocks, with roots the size of a potato attached underneath.
He put the grass on the ground and smashed it with stones, and brought it with the juice, saying, "Where the poisonous snake is infested, there will be an antidote within seven steps, apply it to him, and find a place for the rhizome to fry the water and serve it in a while." ”
Cha Wenbin hesitated for a while, looking at Feng Qiyun's light face, he still silently took the herbs.
Pressing on Ye Qiu's tiger's mouth, his body spasmed, this is pain, he rarely hurts like this.
The fat man said with red eyes, "What kind of medicine did you give him?" ”
"This thing is called the ghost governor's head, and it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that ordinary people will be poisonous even if they splash its juice, and if they eat it, their liver and intestines will be broken, and there is such a poisonous grass growing on the side of such a poisonous snake. The so-called yin and yang cannot exist alone, all things are mutually reinforcing, and this grass is the snake venom that can unravel Brother Ye by attacking poison with poison. ”
"Alright,"
Cha Wenbin took a long breath, the blood squeezed out at this time was already red, and he said to Feng Qiyun with gratitude: "Brother Feng is not only suave, but also has such a high attainment in pharmacology, I thank Ye Qiu on my behalf." ”
Next, Ye Qiu was carried by the fat man, he was in a state of confusion all the way, Feng Qiyun said that he would arrive at the camp early to let him rest, and some poisonous blood had seeped into his body to be taken with medicinal solutions.
It was getting dark, and seeing that there was still some distance to the destination, Kasang suggested that he should spend the night on the hill tonight, and he found a very flat mountain bag, like a natural inkstone, large enough and with a wide field of vision.
This journey was delayed, and the fat man carried Ye Qiu on his back, and finally decided that Cha Wenbin and Kasang were responsible for building the open top, and the fat man and Feng Qiyun went down the hillside to fetch water and collect firewood.
In order to prevent mosquitoes, snakes and rats, a circle of sulfur was sprinkled around the camp.
When he fetched water and picked up firewood and walked up the mountain, it was already dark, and looking at the destination that he could have reached today, the fat man couldn't help but sigh, this was the first time he lost his troops.
Suddenly, he vaguely saw that there was a group of people in the camp, and in order to make sure that he was not dazzled, he also specially rubbed his eyes, that's right!
There are people, and there is more than one!
"Hey, do you see a bunch of people over there?"
The fat man privately called him a little white face, and when he faced it directly, he simply used "hey"
to replace it.
I didn't want to be in the wind but said: "I have a name, go your way, don't look at something that shouldn't be seen." ”
The fat man muttered for a while, and ran back to Cha Wenbin: "Cha Ye, there are people in there." ”
"People?"
Kasang and Cha Wenbin both turned their heads, and the direction of the fat man's finger was now foggy, and the fog on the mountain was about to fall in front of them, maybe it was a rain in the morning that made the humidity here increase sharply.
"This ......"
The fat man hurriedly pointed to Feng Qiyun and said, "He also saw it!" ”
Cha Wenbin looked at Feng Qiyun, he didn't seem to care, but squatted down to make a fire and boil water: "If he takes this medicine, it is estimated that he will wake up at night, his body is good, and he will recover quickly." ”
"Brother Feng, the stone said he ......"
"Shh......h
Feng Qiyun pointed his finger and said: "There are more people who are dying in this barren mountain and wilderness, and they are going to have eye needles when they see some messy things, I am persuading the fat brother to have more than one thing than one less, lest someone grab the quilt with him at night." ”
"What do you mean!"
He smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "I haven't told you everything, don't look at things that shouldn't be seen, so, what do you see, how do I know?" ”
Seeing that the two of them had the intention of clashing, Cha Wenbin hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker and said: "Stone, you and Kasang take a look at the surrounding situation, lest there be some snakes and insects, pick up a little stone and then circle us around, if something comes over at night, you can hear the sound." ”
Breaking away the fat man, Cha Wenbin got up at this time and asked Feng Qiyun: "Brother Feng, is there anything inconvenient to say?" ”
Feng Qiyun gave him an approving look and said: "More things are better than less things, I bother Brother Cha to watch more for me when I change shifts tonight." ”
"Brother Feng means to explore the camp alone?"
This person also acted very unreasonably, just like that day he knew that there was a snowman but deliberately broke away Cha Wenbin, I don't know if he was deliberately protecting them, or if there was something else unspeakable.
"Long nights, no intention of sleeping, the scenery here is unique, I want to walk around by myself and be quiet, Brother Cha won't even give this bit of freedom, right?"
Cha Wenbin also smiled and said, "Please take care of yourself." ”
Ye Qiu, who was poured with the decoction, coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood in a row and fell asleep again, as he said, his body temperature had gradually dropped, and he opened his eyes a few times and signaled to Cha Wenbin a few times, and his pulse also stabilized, and it looked like there should be no big problem.
Feng Qiyun said that the kind of snake is called the Himalayan white-headed snake, which is highly venomous, very rare, and ordinary people let it bite it is basically death, and this Ye Qiu's physique recovered very quickly beyond the ordinary.
However, he also said that ancient books record that this snake has only appeared in the Himalayas, and he also said that although this snake is venomous, it tastes good.
When the fat man heard it, he quickly said that it was a pity, he knew that he had stewed and drank soup at night, and Feng Qiyun said that you are not afraid of snakes, and the fat man said that being afraid does not mean that he did not dare to eat, and in a rather cheerful atmosphere, they ended today's journey.
At 90 o'clock, the fog on the mountain has lightened a lot, the first half of the night today is fat, and the section before dawn is Kasang, Cha Wenbin specially arranged his time and wind and clouds together.
After 10 o'clock, the fat man was also called in to sleep, and after another half an hour, the snoring inside gradually started, and Feng Qiyun got up and said to Cha Wenbin: "Brother Cha, I'm out for a walk, you'd better not follow." ”
Cha Wenbin asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I will follow?" ”
Feng Qiyun suddenly bowed his head mysteriously and said, "As far as I know, there is no volcanic activity here, so think about why the rocks on both sides are melting?" It can burn this mountain into a canyon. ”
Cha Wenbin asked incredulously: "You mean this is burned?" ”
Feng Qiyun smiled: "Otherwise, how could there be no grass at both ends of this valley?" My Feng clan is a descendant of Suiren, and I learned to drill wood to make fire 10,000 years ago, and if I want to say that I can use fire to this point, there is only one person in the world! ”
Cha Wenbin shouted out the name: "Fire God Zhurong!" ”
The Classic of Mountains and Seas?
In the Overseas Southern Classic, it is said: "Zhurong in the south, the body of a beast and a human face, take two dragons." ”
In the legend about this revered "Red Emperor"
The most famous battle of the great god is the battle with the god of water.
Legend has it that in the distant era of the flood and famine, people devoured the birds and beasts they had hunted with their hair and blood.
At this time, there is a Guangming Palace on Kunlun Mountain, and there is a fire god living in the Guangming Palace, which is Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong took the fire from the magic lamp of the Guangming Palace, so people began to understand the cooking method from the flame.
In order to thank Zhu Rong for the fire, people worshiped the well-meaning god a lot, and in this way, the power of the fire god increased greatly, and there were many suppressive behaviors against other gods.
But this aroused the jealousy of another great god: the co-worker.
Gonggong believes that water and fire are essential conditions for survival, so why do people in the world only respect Zhurong instead of respecting me?
The contradiction between the two began to become more and more intense, and finally one day, the two ancient gods fought near Buzhou Mountain.
The Gonggong led the water tribe and attacked the Guangming Palace where Zhu Rong lived, extinguishing the perennial divine fire around the Guangming Palace, making the land pitch black.
This angered the fire god Zhu Rong, and he drove a fire dragon out to meet him, and the fire dragon glowed all over his body, and the flames soared into the air, tearing the earth in half.
The Gonggong mobilized all the water from all over the world to the Buzhou Mountain near the Guangming Palace, so the whole land fell into a Ze country, a great flood from the Kunlun Mountain sloped down, the Guangming Palace was suddenly flooded, the palace fell apart and was washed away instantly, but the water flowed low, the water receded, and the divine fire burned again.
Zhu Rong occupied the favorable geographical conditions, drove the fire dragon to beat the co-workers, and finally because he was defeated by Zhu Rong, he was determined to die together, and he crashed headlong into Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain.
The pillar of heaven was destroyed, leaving a huge hole, the ground was also split into countless pieces, the fire spread in the forest, the flood raged on the earth, in order to save the heaven and earth, Nuwa sacrificed herself to make up for the sky, and later there was the story of Dayu controlling the water.
The myth of the wilderness opened the Chinese civilization, but Cha Wenbin never thought that these things would be true, looking at the pitch-black rocks under his feet, which were volcanic rocks that were obviously formed after the cooling of hot magma, but it really didn't look like there was volcanic activity here.
Feng Qiyun continued: "Brother Cha, how did the myth come about, it relied on the fabrication of the back mountain, so what was it made up of?" Existence is reasonable, and legends are the same, without archetypes, how did the ancients depict them so vividly? Why are those immortals who shouldn't exist still sleeping in the ancestral hall of our nation? ”
Cha Wenbin, who asked this question, was speechless, but he said again: "Yesterday in the underground river that fell under the glacier, I also saw those huge pillars, as well as the statue, maybe they didn't see it clearly, but I did see it clearly. ”
Cha Wenbin asked incredulously, "Are you saying that it was the ruins of the Guangming Palace that were washed there?" ”
"I don't know if there is a Guangming Palace in this world, but I recognize that statue, it must be the fire god Zhurong. Brother Cha, we have now stepped into the relics left by our ancestors, whether you believe it or not, maybe they do not exist like the gods in mythology, but there must be a prototype in this world, my Feng clan and Zhu Rong clan have a relationship with water, Sui Ren clan is from Zhu Rong clan learned to drill wood to make fire, this nation with fire as glory can be regarded as able to respect my ancestors. ”
