Volume 1 The Legend of the Immortals Chapter 5 There is a Bear Tribe
Hou Yi entered Wu Li's grass hut and put Chang'e on the grass bed, Wu Li invited Shennong to give a gift, looked at the wound, removed the old scab, reapplied the medicinal juice, boiled the decoction, and fed Chang'e to drink.
I saw Chang'e vomiting blood after drinking the medicine, Hou Yi was shocked, hurriedly leaned over, and said again and again: "Chang... How are you?"
Wu Li had never encountered this situation, so he was busy with the little boy, took the turtle shell, divined, looked at the hexagram, and exclaimed: "Bad thing, bad thing." ”
Hou Yi said: "What's wrong?"
Wu Li sent the little medicine boy, bowed to Hou Yi, and said: "I don't know that it is the Holy Monarch, who used medicine without authorization, causing the fairy god body to infect." ”
Hou Yi was anxious, raised his hand, and wanted to beat Wu Li, but his hand was half raised, but he didn't fight after all, and said, "Is there a good way to treat it?"
Wu Li said: "Yes, yes. The fairy was originally the star monarch who came into the world, and if he got the seven stars to descend to the world, he could cure the fairy's body. Tonight is the night of the full moon, if I set up a seven-star platform, with the essence of the moon, and recruit the light of the seven stars, the fairy can be saved. ”
Hou Yi heard the joy, so he asked Wu Li to do it, I don't know what Wu Li said to the bear patriarch and elder, so he saw that the bear man moved the wood and erected a high platform. Hou Yi picked up Chang'e, climbed onto the high platform, and after the Wuli ceremony was completed, he started to do the law, and after a while, a large piece of starlight was sprinkled and poured on Chang'e.
There are men, women and children of the bear tribe who saw the starlight falling, and they all prostrate on the ground, kneeling down, and the starlight poured out, which lasted for half a day, and Chang'e's wound was really healed.
When the stars fell, Wu Li asked Hou Yi to take Chang'e back to the grass house, Hou Yi picked up Chang'e, saw that Chang'e's breath was weak, her face was no longer pale, she cried with joy, and hurriedly thanked Wu Li.
But Wu Li learned from divination that Hou Yi was the holy monarch of heaven, where did he dare to let Hou Yi kneel and worship, and he was busy kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, saying: "The holy monarch is a god, I am just a mortal, I dare not accept this great gift." ”
Hou Yi said: "Wu Ben is a messenger who communicates the heavens and the world, and Wu Li knows astronomy and geography, so I don't know that I am not a god anymore." ”
Wu Li said: "Even so, I don't dare to accept the courtesy. ”
Hou Yi said: "Wu Li, please get up, Hou Yi can't stand it." ”
Wu Li stood up, saluted again, and said, "It was originally the Houyi Holy Monarch." ”
Hou Yi hurriedly said: "Wu Li is invited, don't call me Hou Yi in the future, just call me Dayi." Wu Li promised, instructed the boy to take some mild medicine, boiled the medicine and fed it to Chang'e.
In this way, Hou Yi has been in the bear tribe for more than a month, and Wu has left the medical skills, and Chang'e can be regarded as almost recovering, but after all, it is not as good as Hou Yi, because he destroyed the divine fetus and injured the foundation, his body is weaker than that of a mortal woman.
Hou Yi caught the tiger every day, captured the giant snake, dug up the tiger's heart and liver, took the gallbladder of the giant snake, made medicinal soup, fed it to Chang'e, and really got better, after all, the fairy root was damaged, but the injury was the spirit and soul, how could it be cured like this.
Chang'e saw Hou Yi's hard work, concealed her illness, and didn't mention it every day, and gradually, Hou Yi thought that Chang'e was cured. In order to be grateful to the bear tribe, Hou Yi took the men of the bear clan to cut down strong wood to make bows, draw animal tendons and strings, and teach Yi the art of arrows; After this training, the bear tribe gradually gained more and more from each hunting, and the hunting interval was also longer.
Wu Gang admired Hou Yi very much, so he worshiped Hou Yi as a teacher, and Hou Yi remembered that Wu Gang had a great favor to his husband and wife, so he accepted this apprentice. But this Wu Gang is stupid, and Hou Yi taught him Yi techniques, but he couldn't shoot accurately. Hou Yi was angry, and every time he scolded him, he neither opened his mouth nor knew how to refute, but just stood there like a log, silent.
On the same day, Hou Yi was angry with Wu Gang again, and Chana Wu sent someone to invite him, and Hou Yi left. Hou Yi followed the witch doctor boy to Wu Li's place, and the boy said, "Master, Dayi is invited." ”
Wu Li put down the wooden pestle that was pounding the medicine and said, "I know, you go down first, I have something to discuss with Dayi." ”
The witch doctor boy saluted and said goodbye to Wu Li, who got up and said, "Hou Yi Holy Monarch." ”
Hou Yi said: "Wu Li, we said before, there is a bear tribe here, you call me Dayi, I am now expelled by the heavenly realm, if the emperor of heaven knows, there will be a bear, and Hou Yi will be a big sin." ”
Wu Li said: "The Holy Monarch commands, and you should obey it." ”
Hou Yi said: "Wu Li asked me to come over, but what's the matter?"
Wu Li said: "Holy ...... Dayi, after a while, it is the day when I have a bear to sacrifice to the Qingdi, and I need a lot of tribute, so I beg the Holy Monarch to take me to have a bear boy to hunt the deer, elk, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, and sacrifice to the Qingdi, so as to bless me with a bear. ”
Hou Yi said: "Do you also need these for sacrifices in previous years?"
Wu Li said: "Yes." ”
Hou Yi said: "In previous years, when the tribute was not enough, what did you do?"
Wu Li said: "In previous years, when the tribute was insufficient, the Qing Emperor asked me to have a bear to sacrifice nine nine-year-old boys, boys and girls. ”
Hou Yi was shocked and said, "If you don't give it, then what?"
Wu Li cried: "If you don't give it, then the Green Emperor will be wreaking havoc in my bears, people and animals are uneasy, I have bear boys to resist, and I will be swallowed by this Green Emperor, so please ask the Holy Monarch to lead the bears to hunt enough tribute." ”
Hou Yi secretly thought, when he was in the heavenly realm, he had a relationship with this Qingdi, and he had never heard of any evil things that Qingdi had done, so it was better to wait and see what happened, and on the day of the sacrifice, take a look.
Hou Yi agreed to Wu Li, and not long after returning to his residence, the patriarch of the bear tribe came again, but fortunately, only Wu Li knew the identity of the husband and wife in the bear clan. Hou Yi invited the patriarch, the patriarch didn't know Hou Yi's identity, after all, he was not as respectful as Wu Li, and he said something about the future, which was nothing more than what Wu Li wanted.
After Chang'e sent the patriarch away, she asked, "Wu Li invited you once, why did the patriarch invite you again?"
Hou Yi said: "Wu Li is a messenger who communicates between heaven and man, and his status is noble, but the tribal mundane affairs, the patriarch always has to take care of it, she asked me to help, just because she was afraid that the patriarch would not know my identity, and if the words collided with me, I didn't care." ”
Chang'e said: "The Xiong clan has a life-saving grace for us, and if we have something to ask for this time, we can help him." ”
Hou Yi said: "What you said, when did I neglect it, you said that they lacked food and clothing, I taught them Yishu, preying on animals and birds, you said that they lacked food, I taught some grain planting techniques, a day's food, no longer lacking." ”
Chang'e said: "It's good to help more." ”
Hou Yi suddenly thought of Wu Li talking about sacrificing to the Qing Emperor, and immediately said to Chang'e, Chang'e said: "Taihao is a descendant of the earth emperor Fuxi, how could he do such a dirty thing?"
Hou Yi said: "You and I are useless to say this, on the day of the sacrifice, if there is really such a thing, you might as well find this Qingdi theory." ”
After five or six days, the patriarch sent someone to invite, saying that the hunting activities before the sacrifice were about to begin, and asked Hou Yi Chang'e and his wife to go at this moment. Hou Yi Chang'e came to the open and bare land, only to see that there were Xiong men, women and children, all of them came out, and those people saw Hou Yi coming and got out of the way.
Hou Yi walked to the front, on the wooden platform four or five zhang high, Wu Li was busy sacrificing the rites of heaven and earth, and several of Wu Li's children surrounded Wu Li, singing and dancing. The witch held the tortoiseshell animal bones, sang dumb in his mouth, sometimes prostrate on the ground, and sometimes raised his hands to worship the sky. When some bear people saw Wu Li kneeling on the ground for the first time, they all knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, putting their faces against the ground.
Hou Yi didn't want to bow down, but Chang'e saw it and pulled Hou Yi a few times, but Fang was reluctant to kneel.
The ritual of sacrificing to the sky until the end of the day, this day is auspicious and bright, full of ruiqi, it is a scene of good wind and smooth, wind and sunshine. More than a dozen men from the bear tribe said goodbye to their families with bows, arrows, and axes.
The patriarch walked up to Hou Yi and said, "Dayi, sacrificing to Emperor Qing is a big deal, it is related to the fate of my bear clan. Dayi's kindness, the old decay can not be repaid, please accept the decay of the old worship. So saying, he bowed down.
Hou Yi is used to being bowed down to in the heavenly realm, and being bowed down by a mortal is a matter of course, and he didn't take it to heart, and the patriarch finished worshipping. Hou Yi said: "Patriarch, rest assured, this Qingdi Festival will make the Qingdi speechless." ”
When the bear patriarch heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Wu Li saw that the weather was not early, so he said: "Patriarch, I see that the sun is heavy this day, it is better to let Dayi go." ”
The bear patriarch said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's time to go, it's time to go." ”
Hou Yi said goodbye to Chang'e, took Wu Gang and dozens of other bear boys to leave, walked for a long time, and entered the deep mountains and Daze. The trees in the deep mountains are lush, all of which are hundred-year-old giant trees, and the trunks must be surrounded by several people, and the canopy of the trees is even more straight into the sky, blocking the afterglow of dusk.
Hou Yi lit the fire, let the bear boy stay, and left with Wu Gang. Hou Yi was originally the body of a god, although the god fetus was killed, the divine power was still there, and in a few jumps, he left Wu Gang behind.
As soon as Wu Gang raised his head, he disappeared from Hou Yi and shouted, "Master, Master, where are you!"
The surroundings were dark and silent, and after a while, Wu Gang still didn't hear Hou Yi's reply, and he couldn't help but be afraid. Wu Gang circled around a few times, except for the towering giant trees, he still didn't see Hou Yi, he was holding a bow and a quiver, but he didn't know which direction to go.
The night was getting darker, and there was a slight sound from the woods in ancient times, Wu Gang heard the sound of gently stepping on the leaves, and was overjoyed, thinking that Hou Yi had returned, so he got up and looked. However, it was dark in the distance, but there was nothing.
"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from above him.
Wu Gang heard the strange sound of the five-point deer singing and the five-point human language, and suddenly raised his head, only to see a pigeon-faced strange bird perched on the first branch, with a pigeon's mouth, bat ears, and three eyes.
