Chapter 81: Silly hat, I don't know the fake words!
"This is a student handed over, the source will not be said for the time being, but it is said that it should be a cobra......" Feng Xue felt that the three of them might not be able to read the report, so she explained.
"Cobra...... What is that? Snakes with black-rimmed cobras? Yun Li asked casually, and Feng Xue remembered that the cobra was called after having glasses (glasses already existed in the Yongle period, but at that time they were called 叆叇), so what should the original name be?
"Our hometown used to be called a rice shovel head...... As a person in the Republic of China, Yun Rou knows what this thing is called, but the Republic of China is five hundred years away from the Ming Dynasty, and further on, plus she is not a disciple of the Beast King Sect, naturally I don't know what the cultivator is called on Penglai Island, where there is no such animal.
Therefore, even if this folk name is said, Yunli and Yunlan are still confused.
"Wait a minute, I'll search for a picture for you......" Feng Xue thought for a long time and didn't come up with the ancient name of the cobra, so she simply opened her mobile phone and searched for a picture of the Zhoushan cobra.
"It's supposed to be this, but this one is twenty meters long." Feng Xue pointed to the photo and said, and Yun Lan and Yun Li saw the photo, their faces were quite weird.
"It turned out to be Xiangliu...... After the two glanced at each other, Yun Lan had an expression that turned out to be this thing, but Feng Xue's face darkened when she heard this title.
"What do you call this thing?"
"Xiangliu! I read the ancient books of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the library of the Beast King Sect, and there are pictures in it. Yun Lan had a natural expression, and Yun Li on the side also nodded and said-
"Xuanji Pavilion also has relevant records, the most famous Xiangliu should be the last descendant of the Yandi clan back then-Gonggong's subordinates, according to legend, he has cultivated to the realm of the law, heaven and earth, and his body is spread out for thousands of meters, and a single spit of venom can form a terrifying poisonous swamp on the ground."
"Wait, isn't Xiangliu a nine-headed human face?" Feng Xue was really confused at this time, the Xiangliu that the two of them said and the Xiangliu in their impression should indeed be the same thing, and Yunlan mentioned the Classic of Mountains and Seas, proving that the Xiangliu recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is indeed Xiangliu, but the biggest feature of his meow's Xiangliu is that he has nine heads! Some people even say that Xiangliu, Hydra, Azda Ahi (Persian mythology), nine babies and other ancient and modern Chinese and foreign legends of the hydra are the same species, but now they are extinct, don't tell me that this group of ancients just said that people have nine heads because of their big necks! And there are human faces?
"Yes, dove-headed man-face! I remember that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is still there in your time, right? It's not just the Classic of Mountains and Seas, I remember when I went to Penglai, Zhu Di was repairing the Yongle Ceremony, right? Yunlan had a strange expression on her face, although she didn't have a good impression of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, she was still very interested in the legendary Yongle ceremony.
"There's no way, there are only 800 volumes left of the more than 20,000 volumes of the Yongle Canon, so does Penglai have an archive?"
For Feng Xue's answer, Yun Lan's face was full of regret, but she had been a modern person for a few months, so she took out her mobile phone and began to search, and after a while, she ......
"Hahahahaha...... What idiot drew this! Needless to say, on her mobile phone, it is the part of the Great Wilderness North Meridian of the Mountains and Seas, and there is a snake demon with nine heads like nine cakes next to it, and there are two big characters like Xiangliu written stupidly next to it.
"We don't have a rut, the illustrations in Guo Pu's Classic of Mountains and Seas have been lost, and now there are Song versions, Ming versions, and Qing versions...... Wait, why is the Song version also like this? Wasn't the cultivator still there at that time? Feng Xue asked strangely, but Li Yunlan rushed out impatiently-"If you have Baidu in your hand, will you still go to check the customs and customs of a certain village official?" ”
"Uh...... You have a point. Feng Xue thought carefully for a moment before pointing to the text of the nine-headed snake body and said, "Since you also said that it is the nine-headed snake body, it proves that there is nothing wrong here, right?" ”
"It's right to say that's right, wait a minute, let me find out what you call this kind of word now......" Yunlan picked up her mobile phone and searched for a long time, and then showed a Baidu Encyclopedia page to Feng Xue-
"Fake words?" Feng Xue's face was embarrassed at the time, what did he meow about? What is the pass?
"The word itself should be the dove of the turtledove, the head of the dove body, that is, its head is like a bird, and the human face refers to this pattern, you see, the upper two dots, the lower arc of the pattern, is it very similar to the human face?" Yun Lan said, while pointing to the photo of the cobra, the iconic flat part and said, don't say, it's really quite similar, remember this seems to be called "utopian trompe l'oeil", right?
(If you don't know, you can check it, as long as humans see two circles or dots on the top and a line on the bottom, they will see the human face for the first time)
"More complex words like the word 'dove', when there was no paper in the past, it was very troublesome to engrave on the bamboo slips, so many readers will use simple homophones instead, these are basic common sense!"
"The nine-tailed fox is also a bird-like tail?"
"No, this is a real nine-tailed, but it's not a nine-tail, it's a nine-segmented tail, I remember the last time I saw the animal world...... By the way, it's called the red panda, and Dayu's wife Tu Shan is the big demon of the red panda......"
"I always feel that I can't look directly at the story of Dayu's water control......" Feng Xue spit out with a strange face, and always felt that the picture was a little beautiful and unimaginable, so he wisely changed the topic - "That...... Those guys who see a lot of water and see a lot of soil work in their county are also monsters? ”
As soon as Feng Xue asked, she suddenly found that it was not only Yun Lan, but Yun Li's eyes also became weird when she looked at her, and Yun Lan said directly and unceremoniously-
"I really don't know if the scholars of your time have ever gone to school! Don't you understand the rhetoric of the pile? Even if you can't understand a single sentence, can't you still connect it to the context? Seeing that there are many earthworks in Zeqi County, I remember that this is talking about raccoon dogs, right? This means that if there are a lot of civil works in this place, it is easy to dig up such things that live in the soil! ”
(From the "Southern Second Classic" - there is a beast, its shape is like a dolphin, there is a distance, its sound is like a dog barking, its name is called raccoon force, see its county has many soil skills.) According to my previous theory, they can be found in Africa, just right, in East Africa to South Africa south of the Sahara Desert, there is an animal called aardvark, with ears and mouth like pigs, and likes to dig holes, which the indigenous people of Africa call "pigs in the soil", and their burrows can spread more than ten kilometers underground. If you're building a lot in Africa, it's normal to dig up this thing, so don't you think it's a coincidence?
What's even more coincidental is that as long as you reverse the language of what you see in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you will find that sentence is very reasonable. It's like a hare will run to a place where people live to keep warm in winter, and it's okay to see it's cold, right? Is it explained that it will get cold when you see it? It should be translated as seeing it when the weather is cold. Translating foreign languages also pays attention to Xinyada, and translating your own documents directly according to the idea of "this is superstition" is translated, can it be correct?
Of course, there are some political factors in this, just like Liang Qichao translated Frankenstein into the Oriental Sleeping Lion, the ghost knows if he is really a half-bucket of water Hu translation, or really to make it easy for the flower planting family to understand, anyway, normal people will definitely not be able to connect Frankenstein with the Oriental Sleeping Lion. Maybe a certain flower empire in ancient times was too powerful, so that after its demise [I thought it might be a natural disaster, or there was really a group of cultivators fighting], the later emperors could only try their best to erase its influence in order to make themselves appear greater, so it is not necessary to deliberately distort the Classic of Mountains and Seas from geography books and periodicals from generation to generation into myths. )
"Forget it, let's talk about this monster." Feng Xue suddenly felt that she couldn't continue to talk to her, otherwise her understanding of the myth of the flower planter would definitely be shattered!
