Chapter 63: The Night Pearl in the Mouth
Dong Ge thought for a while and said, "Since we know that this village is related to the king of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then let's go to the ancestral hall first, and we will meet this fish for a while!" ”
Along the way, Mo Tianya told everyone some things about the King of Fish.
It turns out that the ancestors of the Shu people in mythology are "silkworm cong" and "fish fish". Shu and "bracelet" pass, that is, wild silkworms. Silkworm Cong "eye longitudinal", living in the stone cave under Minshan Mountain, silkworm Cong, cypress shrub, fish three generations are hundreds of years old, "deified immortal". His main merit was "teaching the people to fish". From the "Book of the King of Shu" to the present, there are many stories in the folk oral tales of western Sichuan.
"The fish is in the Mao Mountain, and the immortal is obtained, and the temple is enshrined in the Mao Mountain." ("Shu King Benji") "Yu Wang Tian in the Mao Mountain, suddenly get the fairy road, Shu people think about it, for the ancestral hall. There is also a version of "Shu Gong Benji" that says: "(Yu) the king hunted to the Mao Mountain, and the immortals went, and now the temple worships it in the Mao." This left great room for imagination for later scholars and writers.
The ancestors of the Shu people, from the silkworm bush of "teaching the people to raise silkworms" to the fish of "teaching the people to fish", to Du Yu of "teaching the people to farm", and the turtle spirit of controlling the water, are all related to agricultural production!
The Yuyu clan also belongs to the primitive totem tribe, because the Yuyu itself is a big bird that has been fishing!
However, in Mo Tianya's deeds of free learning, this fish king is not just as simple as the one introduced above! Yu Yu was originally a subordinate of the silkworm cong, and mastering this sacrificial ceremony can induce each other with the spirit of nature, so as to realize the call for wind and rain, which is the dependence of the survival of the silkworm cong country!
It is not a good thing to have a high merit, and the same is true of the fish, the previous few fishers relied on their own skills, and often talked about the court without authorization, which caused the dissatisfaction of the silkworm king, so he began to persecute the high priest of the fish, and the power of the fisher was eliminated from generation to generation, until later, there was a very powerful high priest of the fish, and he secretly enveloped the minister, and under the nose of the silkworm cong, he started his own small country, and then he really couldn't hide it, the king of the fish directly betrayed the silkworm country, and the two dynasties were opposed!
After all, Yu Yu was originally the high priest of the silkworm cong, and he had the ability to communicate with nature and control the wind and rain. After the rebellion of the fisher, the silkworm cong did not know anything about the agricultural mulberry, coupled with the exploitation and oppression of the people, gradually, the people of the silkworm cong rebelled and gradually took refuge in the fish!
In this way, with his forbearance, the king of Yuyu gradually crushed the silkworm cong, and after unifying the ancient Shu country, he became the king of the ancient Shu country! Because the merit of the fish to the establishment of the ancient Shu country is very huge, so the descendants will be the silkworm cong and the fish two together as the two founding kings of the ancient Shu country!
In fact, these two people did not start the country at the same time, but one after the other, and even said that Yu Yu seized the world of silkworms!
"Therefore, after Yu Yan became the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom, he began to devote himself to the study of the art of immortality! In addition, the distance between the ancient Shu Kingdom and Kunlun Mountain is not too far, and the ancient Shu king Yu Yu pinned the art of immortality on the legend of the Queen Mother of the West? ”
After listening to Mo Tianya's introduction, Song Zisu followed and reasoned.
"No!" Dong Ge interrupted Song Zisu and said: "For us, the Queen Mother of the West is a legend, but for the King of Fish at that time, it may be true!" ”
"He Lao and I have researched that although the legend of the Queen Mother of the West is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in fact, the most complete and authentic is from the time when King Yu ruled the ancient Shu Kingdom! So I guess that the Queen Mother of the West is also a primitive totemic tribe, the same as the Fish King. Yu Yu has the ability to communicate with nature, and it is not excluded that the so-called immortality of the Queen Mother of the West is also a special ability of the totem tribe of the Queen Mother of the West, perhaps longevity, or a medical skill that can bring people back to life! In short, the secret of the Queen Mother of the West must have a close connection with this fish! Otherwise, we can't explain why there are runes from the top of Kunlun in the territory of Yuyan! ”
Dong Ge made his guess, and in this conversation, everyone had already walked to the ancestral hall.
He Chaoqun checked the traces of yesterday's climbing, and then put the rope down: "Okay, let's go in, no matter what today, we must eat this ancestral hall thoroughly to see what kind of secret he has!" After speaking, He Chaoqun turned over and jumped into the ancestral hall.
After everyone enters the ancestral hall today, there is no sense of mystery like yesterday, just cultivating bamboo, or the same as yesterday, as soon as you enter the door, you can see that it is chanting.
The runes behind this ancestral hall have been deciphered by Dong Ge, and now everyone's focus is on looking for some traces of the Fish King in this ancestral hall.
"Oh, I've been looking for it for so long, and there's really nothing! I'm going to break my waist! He Tao threw the stick in his hand beside him, and sat down against the gluttonous statue in the ancestral hall! , At the moment when He Tao sat down, his hand somehow reached something, and with a click, the gluttonous mouth actually opened!
"Brother Dong, look, what's going on? I didn't move, he opened his mouth. He Tao was stupid when he saw the gluttony in front of him actually opened his mouth! There are not many strange things that Bai Ye has seen along the way, so in this way, the more He Tao worries about what he will trigger here and bring everyone into a dangerous environment.
Brother Dong stepped forward to take a look, only to see that there was actually a bead in the mouth of this glutton!
"It's a night pearl, such a round and lustrous night pearl is still relatively rare." Mo Tianya came over and looked at it and said.
Brother Dong looked at the night pearl in the mouth of this glutton, his face was full of doubts, and said, "Why is there a night pearl in this glutton's mouth?" Usually only spiritual creatures such as unicorns and lions will hold a bead in their mouths, and this gluttonous beast is a delicious beast! ”
Bai Ye didn't feel any yin aura on the beads, but Xiuzhu, who started chanting the scriptures as soon as he came in, said: "It's not interesting to guess, don't you just take it and take a look?" ”
Good idea! He Tao took down the bead as soon as he got started, and Brother Dong originally wanted to say something, but when he saw He Tao quickly take it down, there was nothing to do, so he gave up and stepped forward to study the bead.
As Mo Tianya said, this bead is round and shiny, although it is daytime, but in the hand, there is still a faint silver light flashing out, it is definitely a treasure in the eyes of treasure collectors, but this bead has a mysterious and weird color in everyone's eyes at this time!
The beads taken from the mouth of a glutton, or the gluttonous person who guards the ancestral hall, not to mention the value, it is very good to be safe and sound.
He Tao somehow, looking at this bead, his eyes were a little confused: "Brother Dong, can I take a good look?" I have some feelings that I can't put into words."
Brother Dong handed the beads to He Tao, and when He Tao took the beads, he didn't stand firmly, but He Chaoqun helped him: "Be careful, what's going on?" Is it hypoglycemia? ”
