Chapter 183: Chang'e died after running to the moon
The legend of the nine days of Yi shooting is widely spread among the people, and Qianhao is naturally no stranger to this, and in his heart, Hou Yi is definitely a fearless god who benefits mankind......
According to legend, there was a god in the heavenly court, his name was Hou Yi, he was infinitely powerful and the strongest archery, and people respected and worshiped him very much.
At that time, there was a supreme ruler in heaven, and people called him God, that is, the Emperor of Heaven, and his name was Dijun.
Emperor Jun had two wives, one named Chang Xi, the goddess of the moon, who gave birth to a total of twelve daughters, and the other named Xihe, the goddess of the sun, who gave birth to a total of ten sons of the sun.
It is a Yuya where the sun stays in the Eastern Sea, and the name of the Yuya is due to the fact that the sea water is as hot as boiling water.
There is a big tree in Yugu called Fuso, which is thousands of zhang high and more than 1,000 meters in circumference, and the ten suns live on this big tree.
These ten suns take turns to be on duty every day, one a day, and the one on duty lives on the upper branch of the tree, and the other nine suns who are not on duty live on the lower branch of the tree.
Before setting off every day, the sun on duty has to take a bath in the salty pool, and then ride a three-legged crow and slowly fly into the sky.
This three-legged crow is the sun spirit, so people call the sun the golden crow, and he carries the sun every day from the eastern Tanggu on time, and flies all the way to Yuyuan in the west, and then goes around to fly back to Fusang to hand over the shift, so that it is a day.
Because there is only one sun on duty every day, this one comes back, and that one goes out, so people can only see one sun a day, and no one knows that there are ten suns in the sky.
These ten suns look exactly the same, except for their mother Xihe, no one can tell which is the eldest and which is the second, so their mother Xihe is on duty every day.
Moreover, these ten suns also listened to their mother's words, and all obediently obeyed their mother's assignment, so since Pangu opened the world, there has not been a single accident caused by the sun.
One day, Xihe went to visit a god who was not at home, just in time for the youngest son Lao Shi to be on duty.
This old ten is usually pampered and obedient in front of his mother, but once he leaves his mother's control, he will not be rumored.
Lao Shi found that his mother was not at home, and felt that no one would care about him, so he took the opportunity to say to the nine brothers: "People are free to come out and go in, who is like our brother ten, who is restrained by my mother every day, and has been living like this repeatedly, running to the dark one by one, it is really monotonous and boring, it is too boring! Today, while my mother is away, we might as well come up with a new trick, and our ten brothers go out together to see who emits the brightest light and who puts the most heat." Whoever doesn't go is a coward!"
As soon as Lao Shi said this, none of the other nine brothers wanted to be cowards, so they all confidently agreed.
So, the ten suns ran out together, spraying blinding light in all directions in the air.
In doing so, they thought they were doing a good deed, and they felt that the earth, which longed for light and heat, would surely give them a warm welcome.
However, how did they know that all the creatures of the earth hated them to death!
As soon as the ten of them appeared at the same time, the earth was illuminated as if it were on fire, the crops were scorched, the rivers were dried up, and the people were so sunburned that they had to hide in the caves, and in spite of this, many people were fainted by the sun.
At that time, the king of the earth, Yao, was very sad when he saw that the people had suffered such a great calamity, but he had no choice but to pray to God, hoping that God would send the gods to relieve the calamity and save the people from the dire situation.
As a result of Yao's prayers, the Ten Suns were soon found out about the Ten Suns' nonsense, and he was so angry and furious that he decided to send Hou Yi, who had the greatest strength and the most accurate archery, to the human world to solve the problem.
When Hou Yi left the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Jun gave him a red divine bow and ten white divine arrows, and instructed him: "After you come to the world, use this divine bow to scare the children and prevent them from being naughty." ”
Even if Hou Yidang accepted the task, he immediately went home, said goodbye to his wife Chang'e, and went down to earth with a divine bow and arrow.
When Hou Yi arrived in the world, he first met with Guojun Yao and explained his intention.
When Yao heard that Hou Yi was a god sent by the Emperor of Heaven to eliminate harm for the people, he was so happy that all his troubles and sorrows seemed to disappear at once.
Yao accompanied Hou Yi to inspect the disaster situation in various places, and Hou Yi was extremely sad when he saw that the world was suffering so boldly, and he was also very angry about the ignorant behavior of the ten suns.
So, Hou Yi immediately climbed Wutai Mountain, stood at the highest place, pulled out the divine bow with both hands, put on the divine arrow, aimed at the sun, and pretended to shoot.
Hou Yi originally wanted to follow the emperor's intentions, really to scare and scare the ten suns in the sky, so that they would not be unreasonable, abide by their duties, and abide by the rules of heaven.
But these pampered sons of the Emperor of Heaven did not pay attention to Hou Yi's intimidation at all, and even ridiculed Hou Yi and ridiculed Hou Yi in turn, not only were they not afraid, but they became more presumptuous, emitting a more dazzling light.
In the face of the bad behavior of the ten suns, the upright Hou Yi was extremely angry, so he gritted his teeth and said secretly: "I am not afraid of you sons of the Emperor of Heaven, as long as you are enemies of the people and kill the people, then I will definitely shoot you down!"
Thinking of this, Hou Yi put on the arrow again and drew the bow, this time he was unceremonious, aimed at the first sun, and shot it with a "bang".
When the arrow arrived, the light flashed, and I saw the first golden light of the sun, and then sparks flew out, emitting a puff of green smoke, and burst silently.
It was so far away that the loud popping sound could not be heard on the ground at all.
In this way, the first sun was shot down by Hou Yi, and Hou Yi suddenly felt that he had fallen into a catastrophe, because these suns were the sons of the Emperor of Heaven.
However, after thinking about it again, if his subordinates showed mercy, then everything on the ground would be all suffered, and anyway, the catastrophe had already occurred, so he simply did nothing and shot down all the remaining suns.
So, Hou Yi took a bow and pulled arrows, and shot eight magic arrows one after another, only to see the suns in the sky, one after another, flashing, smoking, bursting, and eight more suns were shot down.
In this way, there is only one sun left in the sky, and Hou Yi has to shoot down this last sun with a bow and arrows.
At this time, Guojun Yao led a large group of ordinary people and hurriedly ran up, shouting as he ran: "Heavenly God, don't shoot, don't shoot, leave one, leave one!"
Hou Yi was stunned when he heard everyone's shouting, so he had to wait for Yao to come close and ask about the situation first, and then make plans.
Yao soon came to Hou Yi's side, held Hou Yi's bow tightly, and said, "O god, don't shoot again, you have to leave one! If there is no sun, there will be no light and heat, and we human beings will not be able to live." ”
Hou Yi suddenly realized, agreed to everyone's request, and left the last sun.
From then on, the sun that was left behind no longer dared to be naughty and messy, as usual, honest and well-behaved, rising from the east on time every day, and slowly flying to the west.
In this way, the calamities on earth will be lifted, everything in the world will be saved, and people will begin to live in peace and contentment again.
Hou Yi relieved the disaster for mankind, and people were very grateful, revered and loved him, so when he was about to return to the Heavenly Palace, everyone was reluctant to let him go, and stayed with each other one by one, hoping that it could live in the world forever.
However, Hou Yi's destiny was in his body and he couldn't disobey it, so he reluctantly left the world and returned to the Heavenly Palace......
―――――――――――――――――――――――――
Hou Yi shot down nine suns and lifted the catastrophe for the people, and the people of the world were grateful to him and regarded him as a great hero.
However, the nine suns shot down by Hou Yi were the biological sons of the Emperor of Heaven, and because of this incident, he completely offended a high-ranking Emperor of Heaven and was regarded by the Emperor of Heaven as an enemy with a common hatred of the heavens.
However, after all, Hou Yi was sent down to the mortal world by the Emperor of Heaven, and the disaster was also caused by the son of the Emperor of Heaven, so the Emperor of Heaven could not go too far, otherwise it would definitely cause the public anger of the gods in the Heavenly Court.
As a result, after Hou Yi returned to the Heavenly Palace, not only did he not receive a reward, but he was punished, and his wife Chang'e was also affected, and they were brought to the world together.
Chang'e is very beautiful and virtuous, her relationship with Hou Yi has always been very good, the two have never quarreled, and they have never blushed.
Even if Chang'e was dragged by Hou Yi this time, she didn't have any complaints, so she and Hou Yi came to the world together.
After coming to the world, Chang'e liked the life of the world very much, and she often worked with the women, picking mulberry and silkworms, and reeling silk and weaving.
Hou Yi hunts with the men every day, plows and hoes together, and he and his wife Chang'e live happily in the world.
However, suddenly one day, Hou Yi said to Chang'e sullenly: "Now, we have become mortals on earth, and we can't go back to heaven." However, mortals do not live long, because people always have to die. It would be nice if there was some way for us to live forever!"
Hearing Hou Yi say this, Chang'e suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an elixir of immortality for the Queen Mother of the West, so she said to Hou Yi: "Isn't there an elixir of immortality for the Queen Mother of the West? Why did you forget it? You see, can you find a way to ask the Queen Mother of the West for a little, if we can get the elixir of immortality, we will naturally live forever." ”
As soon as Chang'e finished speaking, Hou Yi patted his head and said, "Yes, how can I forget! There is an elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West, I must find a way to get some back, so that our husband and wife can live in the world forever! The sooner you plan for this kind of thing, the better, I can't wait, I'm going tomorrow!"
In this way, Hou Yi's sad face disappeared immediately, and he was ready to go to the Queen Mother of the West early tomorrow morning to seek the elixir of immortality.
There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning, the sun had just risen, Hou Yi put on his bow and arrows, and strode towards Kunlun Mountain, where the Queen Mother of the West lived.
