Volume 1 The Search for a Thousand Years Chapter 9 The Death of the Red Emperor
However, Zhu Rong is both fire and water, Hengyang Nanyue Zhu Rongfeng is his real palace, and the South Wall Temple is his palace.
In fact, the Nanhai Temple was built in later generations (Northern and Southern Dynasties), and the Guangzhou area was relatively stable, with rapid economic development and frequent maritime traffic and trade. At that time, in addition to the Northwest Land Silk Road, the exchanges between China and the countries of the Western Regions developed rapidly, and many overseas merchants and monks came to China by sea, and Chinese sea ships also went to Fanguo. Due to the unpredictable situation on the sea, the desire to pray for the protection of the sea god is also increasing, and people built the temple of the South Sea.
Because Zhu Rong passed on the fire during the governance of Nanyue, he taught people to use fire to make cooked food, keep warm, and drive away wild beasts...... He was named the god of fire by the Emperor of Heaven, and people revered him as the "Red Emperor". And his exploits and the worship of the people attracted the jealousy of the god of water.
According to legend, the leader of the Gonggong (also known as the Gonggong clan) is called Kang Hui, who was born with a fashionable body and red hair, iron arms and tendons, a height of more than one zhang, and infinite strength. Kang Hui is respectful on the surface but cunning in his heart, full of conspiracies, but he is temporarily forbearant because of Fuxi's great power and virtue.
There are two notorious gods under the Gonggong: one is Xiangliu with nine heads, who also has a human face and a snake body, a blue body, a cruel and greedy temperament, and takes pleasure in killing; The other is a long, malevolent float that is said to be able to see through people's minds and thus deceive them.
After Fuxi left, the people of China respected Nuwa, and Kang Hui was jealous of this, relying on the high and dangerous terrain of his fiefdom, and decided to endanger the Central Plains by a monstrous flood, resulting in an ocean between the world and the world of China. Nuwa couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lead the people of China to eradicate the Gonggong.
The simple idiom "fire and water are incompatible" contains many truths. Some things have their inherent properties as soon as they are created, and this attribute may clash with the attributes of other items, which is not artificially reconciled, and the best way is to separate these two things, the farther away the better. It's an innate attribute, don't try to change it. It's like water and fire, and there's no balance to be found when put together.
The water god Gonggong represents water in nature, things in nature such as rivers, lakes and seas; Zhurong, the god of fire, represents fire in nature. The collision of these two things actually refers to some force majeure factors in nature. In this war, we can't find anything like justice to explain the nature of this war. Some are just the confrontation between Gonggong and Zhurong because of instinct, which seems to be a game between two forces in nature.
The water god Gonggong has always been at odds with the fire god Zhu, and he led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attack the fire god. The generals who served as the vanguard, Xiang Liu and Fuyou, pounced on the Guangming Palace where the fire god Zhu Rong lived, and extinguished the divine fire around the Guangming Palace that had not been extinguished for many years.
The ground was dark. The fire god Zhu Rong drove the fiery dragon all over his body to meet the battle. Everywhere I went, the clouds cleared and the rain was collected; The darkness receded, and the earth returned to light. The water god Gonggong was annoyed and angry, and ordered Xiangliu and Fuyou to draw up the water from the three rivers and five seas and pour it to Zhurong and them.
In an instant, the turbid waves in the air were falling, the black waves were churning, the white clouds were submerged, and the divine fire was extinguished again. But as soon as the water receded, the divine fire burned again, and Zhu Rong invited the wind god to help, the wind helped the fire, and the fire rode the wind and rushed straight to the co-worker.
They want to keep the water to fight the fire, but the water is pouring for thousands of miles, where can they keep it. The flames rolled up like tongues, and they were burned to the ground and staggered.
Gonggong led the navy to fight and retreat, and fled back to the sea. He thought that Zhu Rong would definitely retreat when he encountered the big water. Therefore, he stood in the water palace and became proud. Unexpectedly, Zhu Rong made up his mind to win this time, and he pursued at full speed. Wherever the fire dragon went, the sea water rolled to both sides, making way for a big road.
Zhu Rong approached the Water Palace, and the water gods worked together, and they had to come out to face the battle. Zhurong, the god of fire, who represents light, won a complete victory. The floater was alive and dead, Xiangliu fled, and the co-workers were exhausted, unable to fight anymore, and fled to the sky in embarrassment.
The co-workers fled all the way to Buzhou Mountain, and when they looked back, they saw that the pursuers were approaching. The co-worker was ashamed and angry, so he hit the mountainside, and there was a loud "bang", but Zhou Shan actually broke the co-worker.
In the Fuxi era, the Gonggong clan was a family of water control, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in the practice of water control, which would cause greater floods, not only to suffer from it, but also to the downstream tribes, and to be questioned by the Xingshi.
The Gonggong tribe did not fall down, but continued the difficult exploration of the great cause of water control in the predicament, and was a never-say-die hero of water control.
When the embankment bursts, the cliff often collapses under the impact of the flood, and there is indeed a tendency for the sky to collapse. It is conceivable that under the limited human capacity of the time, an earthen embankment surrounded by an ocean flood was undoubtedly a weapon of mass destruction with destructive power, which may also be the reason why the Gonggong's method of building embankments to hold back water was often criticized for crusade.
(Historical Truthful Evaluation:
Although the Gonggong clan has been described by many legends as "brutal and evil-doer", he has always been revered by the people because of his divine powers and his close connection to the lives of the first people. In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is recorded that "the platform of the common work, the shooter does not dare to go north (to)", which expresses this primitive awe. The efforts of the Gonggong clan finally made mankind achieve a great victory in controlling the floods, improved the survival ability of human beings, and changed the living environment of human beings.
The following is the evidence of continental drift:
Archaeologists believe that human beings have already formed advanced civilizations, such as Mayan civilization and Atlantis, which are all prehistoric civilizations, they have created nuclear weapons, and even have been able to build spaceships, but in order to plunder resources, ancient nuclear wars broke out.
That nuclear war directly led to the destruction of advanced civilizations.
The huge nuclear explosion directly led to the rupture of the land bridge connecting the ancient road, the uplift of the Himalayas, the formation of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the huge displacement of Africa.
Geologists and biologists believe that in ancient times, there was a huge, unaccompanied land-making movement. )
Zhu Rong caused the collapse of Tianzhu Peak Buzhou Mountain because of this battle with Gonggong, causing a disaster in the world and being condemned by the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor of Heaven ordered the fire god Zhu Rong to be killed. It can be said that the fire god Zhu Rong made great contributions and efforts to the Huaxia tribe in his life, but in the end he died because of negative energy.
(Another legend: After Fu Xi's death, the Gonggong was in turmoil, and the Yellow Emperor sent Zhu Rong to quell the rebellion, although he defeated the Gonggong, but did not kill all the members of the Gonggong clan, and the Yellow Emperor killed Zhu Rong. Later, his younger brother Wu Hui served as the official of Huozheng, and he was still called Zhu Rong. Legend has it that the descendants of Wu Hui were later divided into eight surnames, namely Cao surname, Peng surname, bald surname, Dong surname, Concubine surname, Shen surname, Ji surname, and Mi surname, which are the eight surnames of Zhurong.
During this land-building campaign, the land bridge broke, the Great Western Continent sank, and the Atlantean civilization was destroyed.
It also caused the Himalayas to uplift, the Pacific Ocean to subside, and the Mariana Trench to form.
This led to the division of continents, the end of the Great Migration, and the relative stability of species. )
