Chapter 22: Dayi Shoots the Sun (Part II)

After the Great War between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the Central Plains fell into a chaos, the flames of war were flying, coupled with the world's soup, the disaster was caused by the flood, the people were not able to make a living, and the lives were devastated, just at this time, there were ten suns in the sky, where there was water, the waves were monstrous, the land was scorched and the crops were dry in the place where there was no water, and the people were so hot that they could not breathe, and the strange birds and beasts also ran out to kill the people. So the Emperor of Heaven sent Dayi down to the world to assist Yao in saving the people from the dire situation.

At that time, Dayi was in Yao's tribe, in order to unify the tribes and buy the hearts of the people, Yao sent Dayi to shoot the sun down to give the people a stable life.

So he asked Dayi to tie a leopard skin apron, with long hair scattered, a wide upper body and strong legs, carrying a 10,000-pound rainbow sunset bow, and carrying a bag of red and white arrows, and climbed to the top of Kunwu Mountain in the south of Luoshui, half-squatting with a full bow, and shooting down nine suns with three or five arrows.

Emperor Yao considered that a sun was needed by the people, so he asked Dayi to keep one, and at that time, the swords, the chiseled teeth, the strong wind, the sealing pig, and the snake were all great harms to the people, so Yao asked Dayi to quell these fierce beasts that endangered the people.

So Dayi killed the chisel in the Chouhua Plain, strangled the gale in the swamp of Qingqiu, shot the Qiqi with an arrow under the fierce water under the Kunwu Mountain, broke the Ba snake into two in Dongting Lake, and captured and killed Feng Feng in the mulberry forest.

With this, all the people rejoiced, and Yao was elected as the leader of all the tribes, and became the Son of Heaven.

Because at that time, the sun was worshiped as the son of Kunlun and the son of God, and Dayi shot and killed the sons of nine gods, plus killed the five divine beasts of Qiqi, Chisel Tooth, Gale, Fengfeng, and Snake, the gods all felt that Dayi had committed a heinous crime for the sake of the mortal world, and sued Dayi to the Emperor of Heaven, so the Emperor of Heaven exiled Dayi in the world and was not allowed to return to Heaven, and at the same time, considering Dayi's merits in the world, authorized Dayi to only carry out reincarnation among human beings, so as to avoid the suffering of his evil reincarnation. At the same time, because Dayi was in the world, because of his outstanding military exploits, he was named the king of the Dongyi tribe by Yao.

Looking at these holograms, Bai Ruo smiled and asked William: "You have lived for fourteen thousand years, and you can see that there have been ten suns in the sky?"

"I've never seen it, but I've seen it many times when there are two or three suns in the sky. William shook his head in dismay, then nodded to be sure that he had seen more than one sun.

"Then you believe that there are ten suns in the sky?" Bai Ruo asked with a raised voice.

"I don't believe that there are ten suns, it's just an illusion, two, three, ten, it's all an illusion. William said with a smile that the world could not see.

"Sir also uses metaphysics to explain this phenomenon?" Da Aidao looked at William's appearance and smiled noncommittally.

"It's not metaphysics, it's science. Although William did not reject metaphysics, he obviously also felt the peculiar smell in the tone of the Great Love Dao, so he waved his hand and tried his best to correct it. "The Earth is surrounded by a thick atmosphere with water vapor and Xiaoice crystals. Under certain conditions, it can turn into very small columnar or flake raindrops or water vapor, slowly descend from the sky, and be refracted by sunlight, forming a parhelia, in fact, only the sun in the middle is the real sun. When the water droplets in the sky condense into tiny hexagonal icicles, if the sunlight enters the icicles from the side, and the conditions of the minimum deflection angle can be satisfied, close to both sides of the sun, it is easy to have a "parhelion". The number, darkness, and size of the parhelion vary with the distribution of Xiaoice pillars at high altitude. This phenomenon is less local, so everyone just thinks it's a myth. ”

"Is that gentleman saying that Dayi's shooting of the sun is not a myth, but may be a real thing?" Bai Ruo asked.

"Since I can accept that you are an immortal and that you have holograms, of course I can accept that this is true. I'm just saying that shooting the sun isn't real, it's just just destroying the ice crystals in the atmosphere. And the phenomenon of ten phantom suns that can last for many days can be imagined how harsh the natural conditions required, so this is definitely not accidental, I even believe that someone deliberately contributed to this natural phenomenon, and then used the totem worship more than 4,000 years ago to frame Dayi and not return to heaven. William knew something about Dayi's shooting sun, and it was unheard of for him to give such an inference.

"At that time, Dayi's divine power in the Heavenly Court surpassed that of all the Heavenly Gods at that time, so I always suspected that this matter was a conspiracy. But suspicion is suspicion after all, and if you want to be sure, you have to come up with evidence. Bai Ruo was stunned, and it seemed to be confirmed.

"If you knew it was a conspiracy, would you still do that, priest?" Kane asked, looking at Da Aidao with an expression that was not afraid to raise his face.

The Great Love Dao pondered for a long time.

"Yes, no matter who is behind the scenes, it is a fact that ordinary people are suffering, and I will do it. Since it was directed against me and made me a mortal, but if I did it, the people of the world would not continue to suffer because of me, so it was worth it. Although I don't know who is behind the scenes, I believe that the behind-the-scenes manipulators took advantage of Dayi's point to do so. ”

"With your ability at that time, you can turn the heavenly court upside down, and the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Gods should not be able to subdue you, you can completely find out the manipulators behind the scenes. Bai Ruo was puzzled.

"That's another bloody storm, why bother?" Da Aidao's reply felt as if he was really Dayi.

"You don't know the joy of being an immortal now, and when you really experience the happiness of being an immortal one day, you won't think so. Bai Ruo looked at the Great Love Dao noncommittally, and immediately withdrew his eyes.

"What the priest means is that you don't need to change this experience, right?" Kane asked.

"Yes, Dayi's actions are out of love for the people, and if it were me, I would do the same. William justly supported the Great Love.

"In the divine realm, you may have been framed, but in the human world, you may not be for the common people, it is likely that Emperor Yao used you to gain the world, so what do you think?" Bai Ruo didn't seem to agree with the views of Da Ai Dao and William.

"It's just a matter of nature. And Emperor Yao, according to historical records, is a Ming monarch, Yao Shunyu Zen let, the world is public, the selection of talents and abilities, have been passed down from generation to generation as virtues. "Da Ai Dao adheres to his previous point of view, and uses the fact that he assists Emperor Yao to show that it is completely correct to do so.

Hearing the great truth of the Great Love Dao, Bai Ruo smiled contemptuously.

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a fairy tale in the world for the public to elect the virtuous and capable, and what you see are all textbooks taken out by Confucianism to educate the people. Yao was imprisoned by Shun for twenty-eight years in his later years, and finally was exiled to the land of Hongze and died, and Shun was also seized by Yu in his later years, and died quite ugly, and finally Yu handed over the throne smoothly to his own son Qi, this is the truth of the struggle for political power, I have seen it with my own eyes, if you want to see the facts, I can show you holograms at any time, and what you see are Confucian textbooks. What age are you still believing in the so-called sages compiled by Confucianism? ”

"Yes, even when he was in power, Yao had the name of unkindness, Shun had the name of unfilial piety, Yu had the meaning of lewdness, and the so-called three passes through the door without entering, which were all used to educate the people. In the view of Confucianism, the historians want to hide for the venerable, hide for the saints, hide the bad things they have done, openly tamper with history, and also give the name *** autumn penmanship", which has also created that China has hardly written a history of faith in the past few thousand years, and it is the habit of the Chinese to falsify history, and they also have rhetoric, for the venerable, for the saints, and do not feel that tampering with history is a shameful thing. William was in favor of the practice of great love, but seemed to have turned his nose up at Chinese Confucianism. Fortunately, there is not a single Chinese among them, otherwise they should jump up if they hear this.

"It's useless to say this, those are not directly related to Dayi, since the pastor feels that there is no need to change it, then this experience is like this. Kane interrupted rambling comments, and he was completely unconcerned about the so-called political battles.

If Bai Ruo sees that the Great Love Dao insists on not changing, it is useless to say more, so he has to give up.

The Animus continued to detect Bai Ruo's memories, and the holograms continued to project fragments of life during the Dayi period.

In ancient times, only emperors had palaces, but even Emperor Yao's palace was only three floors, the steps were made of clay, the roof was paved with thatch, and even the ears of thatch were not cut. If an emperor is like this, it is conceivable that the residence of a tribal leader is even more rudimentary.

The tribe of Dayi has about two or three hundred people, the villages are all mud houses with thatched roofs, cold in winter and hot in summer, there is a pavilion-like building in the middle of the tribe group, which burns fire all the year round, so as to avoid the trouble of taking fire again after the fire is extinguished. Dayi's residence as the leader of the tribe is three one-story mud houses, which are just a few more than ordinary people's homes. The food is basically beast meat and grains, and it is basically made of clay pottery. Men were generally out hunting, while women were engaged in farming, working at sunrise and returning at sunset, and the first few years of life were uneventful. Only occasionally, Dayi would take Chang'e to see Emperor Yao.

For ordinary people, and even for Emperor Yao, there seems to be nothing wrong with such a life, but for Dayi and his wife Chang'e, such a life is very difficult. Unfortunately, they went down to the mortal world with their memories, and the difference between the life of hard work in the world and the life of Qionglou Yuyu in the sky and the life of fairy pulp and jade dew is too great. Even the modern poor are much richer in material life than the emperors of the primeval period, not to mention the two immortals who have lived in the Immortal Palace for a long time. There is no harm without contrast, and this contrast is precisely the realistic version of heaven and earth.

Slowly Dayi began to become arrogant, murderous, and irritable, and occasionally approached some women, but not to be romantic. But what a character Chang'e is, she has suffered for several years, and she can still bear this matter of men and women, she knows that in Dayi's heart, after all, she is the only person Dayi cares about the most, otherwise Dayi will not hand over the two elixirs of immortality given by the Queen Mother of the West to her for safekeeping.
