People in later generations often can't figure out the various titles and titles in ancient legends, and they feel complicated and confused, and the same name will appear repeatedly in different times and on different occasions, such as Zhurong and Gonggong. They are not only a person, but also a clan, and even a title of inheritance.

Thinking that the last Yan Emperor Yu returned to Xuanyuan, they all called themselves Shaodian, which means that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has obtained the orthodoxy of the heir. Yu Gang himself was named Jinyun by Xuanyuan, which is a bit equivalent to Zimo abdicating and still being named Xiangjun by Shaowu and enjoying the honor of the Ten Lords.

But Yu Gang's situation is very different from Zimo, he was originally the son of China, commanding all the departments of the world, and after his return, there is still a huge old ministry force, known as the Siyue Department. The so-called four mountains do not refer to the four mountains, nor do they specifically refer to the four major tribes, but the meaning of defending the Chinese Son of Heaven.

Yu Gang had a son named Zhu Rong, who served as Huozheng, and was the most powerful general in the last years of Emperor Yan along with Chi You. The name Zhu Rong has appeared many times in ancient times, and it is said that the assistant of Emperor Shennong is called Zhu Rong, and the official position he holds is also Huozheng. Yu Yan gave his son this name and let him hold the same official position, which was equivalent to appointing him as the head of the Zhurong clan.

The title of Zhurong has existed since ancient times, and there has been such a tribe since the time of Emperor Shennong, and many of its leaders in the past dynasties have also called themselves Zhurong. For descendants who don't know the truth, sometimes it's really hard to tell who is who, just like Bai Sha also calls himself Bai Yi. In order to unite all the ministries in the world, Emperor Xuanyuan still appointed this Zhu Rong as Lord Huozheng.

Zhu Rong has a son named Gonggong, one of the leaders of the Siyue Tribe, and the tribe he leads is also known as the Gonggong Ministry, which is a very powerful branch of the Siyue Tribe, and its territory is in the south of China. Yu Gang had many sons, but Zhu Rong did not inherit the honorific title of the Jinyun clan, but served as Huozheng; inherited Zhu Rong's position.

Gonggong once was ordered by the Son of Heaven to control the floods in the south, and was also called the water master by the local people, and after he inherited the title, the official name was changed from Huozheng to Shuizheng. And "Gonggong" was also an official title in the era of Emperor Yan, just look at Ba Yuan, and use the official name of the ancestor as the name of the descendant and the title of the tribe, which is also a habit in ancient times.

Whether it is water or fire, although the status is respected, they are all symbolic positions, and they do not have much real power in the Son of Heaven court. At the same time, they were all given symbolic co-workers. In order to inherit the father's business and pass it on from generation to generation, this was the case with many professions in ancient times. The use of fireware and water control to create fields are all fortifications of the people.

It took a lot of time for Hou Gang to explain the complex meaning and origin of the term "co-worker".

In the era of Emperor Zhuan, the Son of Heaven ordered the rectification of sacrifices, which was not all smooth sailing, and the opposition of the Gonggong Department in the Siyue Department was the most distinct. The Communist Labor Department was powerful in the south, and Emperor Zhuan called on all the ministries in the world to conquest, which not only mobilized the power of the Chongchen clan. He also persuaded the Benli Department in most of the Jiuli Department to form an alliance with the Chongchen Clan and attack the Gonggong Department together.

The various ministries of Jiu Lebanon are not monolithic, and there are various differences and disputes within them. Emperor Zhuan adopted the means of unity and division, and he married a woman from the Benli tribe. It's a pity that this woman didn't give birth to a son to inherit the Benli. Later, Emperor Zhuan married a daughter to the leader of the Benli tribe, and completed the alliance through in-law.

The Chongchen clan joined forces with the Benli tribe and defeated the Gonggong Ministry between Jianghuai, which was in the process of Emperor Zhuan's executive order. One of the most important and largest internal conflicts laid the foundation for the smooth implementation of the New Deal in China.

Although the Communist Labor Department was defeated, the forces to which it belonged still existed. After they expressed their willingness to accept Emperor Zhuan's new decree, Emperor Zhuan adopted a strategy of appeasement. As an emperor, he can't just know how to fight and not compromise, and in fact, it is impossible to exterminate the Gonggong tribesmen who are also the emperor's people.

For example, the Shui Zheng Lord in today's Zi Di Yao Dynasty is the Gonggong Dijiang, and he is already the third generation of the Gonggong clan.

Because of the alliance with the Chongchen clan to attack the Gonggong Department, the Benli Department occupied a large area of land between the Jianghuai and Huai, so the relationship with the other Jiuli tribes became increasingly estranged. Its leader not only married the daughter of Emperor Zhuan, but also received a canonization, and he himself became a nobleman, no longer a nameless Li Min.

After listening to Hou Gang's narration, Ji Gu wondered: "Even if the Benli tribe has not completely separated from Jiuli, it is also the first of the Jiuli tribes to form an alliance with the forces of the Yellow Emperor's headquarters, and the current situation is also the best, why are the people of Benliu Village living so miserably?"

Huwa smiled bitterly: "In any tribe, there are noble people who are high, and there are slaves who are in a miserable situation. Most of the Benli, because their ancestors made a wise choice, are now in the best situation among the original Jiuli tribes. However, there are also many sub-clans in the Benli Tribe, and they may not all have participated in the attack of the year and obtained the benefits of their ancestors.

If the Benli tribe does this, it will inevitably have a grudge with the communist labor department, and it will also lead to the dissatisfaction of other Jiuli departments. The people of Benliu Village originally lived in the south of the river, at the junction of Qili, Feili, Guli, Shanli and other departments, and if there was a conflict, they would definitely suffer. They fled north due to floods and tribal conflicts, only to be reduced to slaves in the fiefdoms of the Chongchen clan. ”

Taiyi suddenly thought to himself: "Shizun seems to be very interested in the witchcraft of the Jiuli Division, but unfortunately the rushing bar only knows the process of the secret ceremony, but does not know the secret recipe of the decoction he took. If there really is that decoction, does the master want to taste a bowl of it?"

Huwa replied: "At the beginning, the rushing bar was able to enter the initial realm and cultivate, not only because of the medicinal soup, but also because of the secret ritual, so that his mind was clear and free of distracting thoughts, and he could enter the meditation and observe the subtleties. This is the wonder of the original state that I explained when I first held a Dharma meeting in Pengshan.

In fact, whether there are witch gods or not, whether they believe in witch gods or not, or in other places, there are other people, and other gods and gods, as long as the practice is the same, the situation is similar.

At the beginning of the Northern Wilderness of Bayuan, the mountain master was guided by the mountain god in the god sacrifice ceremony, so that he could enter the initial realm and cultivate. When he was young, he believed in the mountain god, and later he also knew that the name of the mountain god was Li Qingshui, and he was also a monk in the world, but this did not hinder the cultivation of the mountain god.

It's not difficult to explain this to you, because you yourself are the gods worshiped by the people of the Western Wilderness Shenmu Clan. And the legend of the witch god of Jiuli is actually related to a maple tree, and it is really the right person to bring you here.

In fact, no matter whether the gods exist or not, and what kind of existence they have, people just use such a way, which is not only a deep expectation in their hearts, but also a spiritual symbol and a means of appeal. As for the so-called divine power, it is not given by any god, but because of the cultivation path that exists between heaven and earth.

It's like putting a pottery dish, hemp oil, and velvet core together to light up the light. With the help of a certain way, people happen to be in tune with the Great Dao, so they can enter the initial realm and cultivate. But they don't know the real reason, they just think it's a gift from a witch god. ”

Hou Gang interjected with a divine thought: "It can be given by the witch god, or it can be given by other gods such as the god of water, the god of fire, etc., and the secret method can be passed on by the master." But if there is no Great Dao between heaven and earth, how can the Master inherit the disciples? No matter who it is, he just happens to have a glimpse of the corner of the Great Dao and has some understanding.

It's like we're driving away from Rushing Village, and people believe what they see and think Shao Jiachen is passing by this road. In the future, if someone finds out Shao Jiachen's whereabouts, they will inevitably follow the clues left by this carriage, but they can't imagine that what they see is only Shao Jiachen's figure and carriage and horses, not the real Shao Jiachen. ”

Taiyi asked again: "Master, then what do you think of the decoction that Rushing Bar once took?"

Huwa muttered, "I deduce that the potion may have a psychedelic effect, making people believe that they can really communicate with the witch god, or that they have received the eye of the witch god, and they are convinced of it.

On the other hand, it stimulates the senses as well as the body. For example, the skin becomes particularly sensitive, which is consistent with the realization that the senses become more and more acute after entering the initial realm, and it is also a means to assist in cultivation.

The decoction taken by the Rushing Gang should have stimulated the potential of the first and second realms at the same time, and the senses became very sharp, and the muscles and bones were also refined. He survived, it was equivalent to cultivating unconsciously, and the secret ritual helped him a lot, and it was also the method for him to continue to cultivate witchcraft, and he broke through the three realms in ignorance.

But the price of doing so was cruel, and two of the seven strongest and brightest children were selected by the Rushing Village clan that year, and two died as a result. The fact that the rushing bar can survive shows that he already has this potential, and if he is guided in another way, he can also enter the initial realm and be able to cultivate.

As for the fact that the other four did not die immediately, it means that they may also have cultivation potential, but they were not successful for various reasons, and they overdrew their life potential, so that they all died later due to various reasons. ”

Taiyi gasped and said, "This decoction is so fierce! it does have the effect of assisting the cultivation of the first and second realms, but if the person who takes it does not have that potential, or does not cultivate in the right way, the result will be either death or injury." The last remaining runner is the lucky one, but I don't know why I'm so lucky. ”

Hou Gang interjected again: "I suddenly remembered the Immortal City pilgrimage of the people of the White-fronted Clan, which was also the ceremony of Chiwangqiu's selection of heirs. No matter what the people of the Baifang clan thought of the immortals on Chiwang Hill and whether they regarded them as gods or not, in the eyes of the monks like us, this was a kind of secret inheritance.

Some people are lucky enough to enter the initial realm and become disciples of Chiwangqiu. As for those who failed, there was no damage, but they took part in a long pilgrimage. ”

Taiyi reminded: "The people of the white-fronted clan participate in the pilgrimage to Xiancheng, and there are more or less dead and injured people every year. (To be continued.) )
