Chapter 173: Suzaku Immortal

It's not the first time I've heard the name Xuanwu, Taoism has too many legends and records about Xuanwu, some say that Xuanwu is the Emperor Zhenwu, some say that Xuanwu is the god of water in the north, and there is one of the four elephants, and the green dragon, the white tiger, and the red bird together constitute the four elephants.

But most of these are the reverie of the world, after all, Xuanwu is a combination of turtle and snake, where is there such a monster in the world, so he said to Liu Chengdao, "Isn't Xuanwu a legendary beast?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "In another 10,000 years, the tiger will also become a legend." Now it is generally believed that the image of Xuanwu before the Warring States Period was the stars, and after the formation of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xuanwu had a specific image, deified and personified, and its image was a combination of snakes and turtles. ”

I thought for a while, "Xuanwu was originally a star, and then it was deified, that is, Xuanwu does not exist, and the current image is just a Taoist imagination, so it is impossible for Xuanwu to appear at the bottom of the Yellow River." ”

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "Everyone used to think so, but before the Warring States Period, there was such a sentence recorded in the "Chu Ci Yuanyou" 'Xuanwu, the name of the god in the north', which shows that Xuanwu already had a godhead before the Warring States Period, and it definitely did not originate in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but before the Eastern Han Dynasty; But the image of Xuanwu described in it is also the image of a snake and turtle, that is, Xuanwu was not just a symbol of the stars before the Warring States Period, it already had a specific image. ”

Liu Cheng spoke a little obscurely, I savored it for a long time, and was shocked by Liu Cheng's words, "Could it be that Xuanwu really existed in history?" It's just that someone is deliberately erasing the traces of Xuanwu's existence? ”

Liu Cheng did not deny my answer, but talked about another topic, "There is also a dragon corresponding to Xuanwu, and now most people in the world think that the image of the dragon is the dragon shape formed by the Yellow Emperor taking the totems of various tribes together, that is to say, the Yellow Emperor created the image of the dragon, but not long ago, an ancient tomb before the Yellow Emperor's era was opened, and the image of the dragon was also found in it, can you understand the meaning of this?" ”

I said, "Before the time of the Yellow Emperor, there was already an image of a dragon, and like Xuanwu, although we can't be sure whether dragons and Xuanwu really existed, but the history we see now is definitely not the real truth." ”

Yoo Seung-eun sighed and affirmed my statement.

However, the conversation between me and Liu Cheng made these old people who had been chatting with us heartily dumbfounded, and asked for a long time, "Are you engaged in learning?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled and said, "He's my younger brother, I just want him to know more things." ”

The old man sighed, and then talked about the strange things about the Yellow River.

According to the old man here, Sun Dianying has many people who have paid attention to the Yellow River, but they all died without a problem, and it is rumored that every time someone wants to move the Yellow River, they will be frightened back by some strange things or people.

Either the people walking at the bottom of the Yellow River, or the black shadows that flash in the Yellow River.

Regarding this part, we guessed that it may be that the Henan Criminal Division deliberately made it out to scare them in order not to let others pay attention to the Yellow River, and after chatting about the strange things about the Yellow River, Liu Cheng asked again, "Do you know that there is a tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River?" ”

The old man's expression already told us that they didn't know about the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River, but asked Liu Cheng in surprise, "There is still an ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled, "I'm just hearsay, too. ”

After chatting for a while, Liu Cheng politely said goodbye to the old man and returned to Henan with me to raise the criminal division.

On the way to walk, Liu Cheng kept pondering, as if he was thinking about who the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River was, and I didn't disturb him along the way, and went back to the Criminal Division, and the people from the Criminal Division arranged for us to rest.

In the evening, several of us got together again, during which I asked Liu Cheng, "Do you think Liu Xuan will really come to us for help tonight?" ”

Liu Cheng said firmly, "It will definitely be, how can Liu Xuan be able to handle things that even their head coach can't handle." Moreover, it is not possible to build a tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River, which is not something that can be done by ordinary strokes, either a person with a great spell in ancient times, or a strong dynasty, and the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River is related to the Chinese dragon vein, and most of the people who have controlled the Chinese dragon vein throughout the ages are powerful dynasties, such as the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, so the ancient tomb is very likely to be linked to the dynasty, and an ancient tomb built under the Yellow River with all the power of the dynasty can be opened so easily. ”

"Then do you know whose Yellow River Tomb it is?" I asked.

Liu Chengen sighed, "I roughly know who it is, he has never appeared before, and there has never been such a character after him, he is the first person in ancient times!" ”

To be able to let Liu Cheng give such a high evaluation makes me more curious about the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River, but Liu Cheng is all about it, and he will not say more.

After that, we waited until the time was almost up, and Liu Xuan, who was covered in a mud swamp and had an embarrassed face, rushed into the Henan Criminal Division, came in and walked directly in front of Liu Cheng, "You're right, we're in trouble and need your help." ”

We looked at Liu Cheng in amazement, and said in our hearts, could it be that he had also learned physiognomy? And physiognomy is more powerful than Yuan Shouyi? After all, Yuan Shouyi didn't calculate that Liu Xuan would come to us for help.

"Tell me about the situation." Liu Cheng said indifferently, everything was as he expected.

Liu Xuan said, "Two hours ago, the Yellow River broke off as scheduled, and the residual water in the silt at the bottom of the Yellow River evaporated in an instant, and the bottom of the Yellow River became an arid land, and in the blink of an eye, it cracked." Our men went down to investigate the situation, and as soon as they stepped on the bottom of the Yellow River, they were instantly drained, and only a few people came up alive, and they said that there was a fire burning under the silt of the Yellow River......"

It sounds a little surprising to us, there is always water in the Yellow River, and I might believe that there are walking dead in it, but how is it possible that there is a fire burning under the silt of the Yellow River?

Liu Xuan said again, "We don't dare to go down rashly now, so I want you to help take a look." ”

Liu Cheng thought for a while, looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Have you figured out whose ancient tomb it is?" ”

Liu Xuan shook his head, "Only the teacher and the master have been to the big tomb in the Criminal Division, and they haven't seen anything in the ancient tomb, so they can't infer who it is." ”

Liu Cheng said, "Emperor Xin, the tomb of the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, if you have studied Emperor Xin, you should know Emperor Xin's last words, Emperor Xin told his son Wu Geng' After his death, he was buried in the Qi River's will, after Di Xin's defeat and self-immolation, Wu Geng did bury him in Qi Shui in accordance with Di Xin's will, Qi Shui is a tributary of the Yellow River, Wu Geng made Qi Shui cut off the flow and diverted when he built a tomb for Di Xin, and the current Qi Shui is not the previous Qi Shui, so the current tomb of the King of Qi Water is not the real tomb of the King of Qishui, and Di Xin should really be buried in the Yellow River. This is Qi County, which happens to be the Chaoge City of the Shang Dynasty, so the ancient tomb at the bottom of the Yellow River is very likely to belong to Emperor Xin. ”

Liu Xuan looked at Liu Cheng with a surprised face, "Have you been to the Yellow River?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, "Do you need to go to the Yellow River to know these things?" ”

Liu Xuan thought about it, and guessed it completely based on Liu Cheng's powerful knowledge volume, and it had nothing to do with whether he went to the Yellow River or not, and asked, "What's the matter with the flames burning at the bottom of the Yellow River?" ”

"I haven't been to the field yet. However, the totem of the Shang Dynasty is the Vermilion Bird, the Vermilion Bird is the ancient god of fire, and the legend of the wild history says that Emperor Xin did not die by self-immolation, but fell asleep with the Vermilion Bird, leaving a 'fire feather that is not extinguished, Emperor Xin does not die', if this is really the case, so many years have passed but no one has found Emperor Xin, it can only be water and fire, Emperor Xin and Vermilion Bird sleeping under the river is most likely, whether it is from the official history or wild history speculation, the tomb of Emperor Xin is likely to be under the Yellow River, the bottom of the Yellow River you see is burning with flames, maybe as the wild history said, it is the flame on the body of the Suzaku, the Yellow River is broken, without the restraint of water, Suzaku and Di Xin are slowly waking up. ”

Liu Xuan paused for a while, "Most of the wild history is something that those scholars use to sensationalize, it can't be true, I don't believe that there is a Vermilion Bird in this world." ”

I just said Xuanwu before, and now I say Suzaku again.

Xuanwu is the god of water, and Suzaku is the god of fire, and the two are incompatible. If Suzaku and Xuanwu really existed, I seem to think of a possibility, that is, Xuanwu was preventing the revival of Emperor Xin, and the interruption of the Yellow River would mean that Xuanwu would retreat, and the flames could be rekindled.
