Chapter 293: Dragon Character
Ancient myths, especially those of great importance, are often passed down by word of mouth and do not exist in the history books of historians. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because, in such a world of thought and Confucianism. Even to record history, you must have certain qualifications, and not everyone can record history. When historians record history, they must conduct on-the-spot research, and only after many references confirm that they are facts, can they record it.
What is recorded in this way is history and mythological history. And those myths of ancient times are almost difficult to re-examine, so even if a historian of the semi-saint rank wants to forcibly record it, it is very consuming to think and effort, and even have to be pushed back according to the fortune telling, so that the facts can be determined.
Just like Sima Qian, the "peerless historical saint" of the Han Dynasty, in his "Historical Records", it was the swan song of the historian that was cast after many references, field investigations and visits to historical books of the past dynasties. But after all, there are still some parts that cannot be verified, and they are all vaguely written by Sima Qian through great sacrifice and backward calculation.
Another way to document myths is to write them into fiction. In this way, there is no need to go through precise research, and the myth can be recorded and passed down forever. However, the threshold for novelists is also very high, almost not weaker than the evidence of historians.
In particular, if you want to record that kind of earth-shattering myth, I am afraid that it is only possible to write it by novelists above the half-saint level, or by the combination of multiple Confucian novelists. The last time in Jian'an Mansion, the great Sinong novelist Xiao Qisheng wrote "Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs", which is a very famous mythological novel, which was jointly written by several Confucian-level novelists.
Because mythology is difficult to record from both historical books and novels, oral transmission has become the main form of mythological inheritance. And in this way, only a great family like the Su family, which has been inherited in an orderly manner for thousands of years, can know more ancient secrets and myths.
Now, the myth about Zulong and Cangjie that Su Zhong said is part of it. Cangjie wanted to create the word "dragon", but when dealing with the ancestral dragon, he encountered many difficulties, and even the Holy Emperor Yellow Emperor was injured by the ancestral dragon.
So how did the word "dragon" come to be created in the end?
Such a question lingered in the minds of everyone at the scene, and Su Lin was also surprised, he couldn't think of how many Terran powers were mobilized at that time, but none of them were able to subdue the ancestral dragon, what kind of way could they have?
"Second uncle, Ru'er found out that the story you told is really good, and I will tell Ru'er every day in the future......"
Su Ru also listened attentively, and it was as if she saw a huge golden dragon in front of her, fighting with countless human powers, and finally broke through the predicament, the trapped dragon ascended to heaven, and escaped.
"Indeed, Second Master Su is right, our Mo family seems to have inherited some related myths and stories. I have also heard that the word 'dragon' was one of the most difficult words to create in Cangjie, and even Cangjie once wanted to give up creating the dragon character. ”
Xiangkaiwu is the descendant inheritance of the Mo family, and naturally there are some myths passed down by word of mouth, but he doesn't know some of the specific details.
"Second uncle, don't sell Guanzi. Tell me how the word 'dragon' was created in the end? If you don't say it, I can take back that piece of top-grade dragon blood coral ink......
Su Lin's heart itched, with this question, if he didn't solve it, he might not be able to sleep all night.
"Hehe, Su Lin, so I said, Second Uncle will not take advantage of you in vain, about the myth of Cangjie creating a 'dragon', not many people in the entire Tianren Continent know about it. If it weren't for the ancestor of our Su family, Su Qin, who inherited it from his teacher Guiguzi......"
Su Zhong smiled very proudly and continued, "Actually, in the end, the power of the human race was dispatched. can only trap Zulong for a while, which is not enough for Cangjie to comprehend the ideological meaning of the word 'dragon'. Moreover, Cangjie at that time also realized the breadth and profundity of the word 'dragon', so in the end he did give up the creation of the word 'dragon'. ”
"If you give up, how can you still have the word 'dragon'? Second uncle, you can't deceive us, Ru'er can write the word 'dragon'...... You see......"
Su Ru picked up the pen and ink in the living room and wrote a big and beautiful word "dragon" on rice paper, like a flying dragon ascending to the sky and dancing wildly.
"Yes, Second Uncle, if Cangjie really gave up on creating the word 'dragon', then where did the word 'dragon' come from in the end?" Su Lin also wondered, Rao is Su Lin has three ways of thinking, there are no specific clues, and it is a mythological allusion tens of thousands of years ago, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of a reason.
"That's right! I'm not lying to you, Cangjie did give up on creating the word 'dragon', and ...... The word 'dragon' we use now is indeed not made by Cangjie. Su Zhong said with a smile.
"What? The word dragon was not created by Cangjie? Can this word 'dragon' still be conjured out of thin air?"
Everyone present was shocked, including Su Lin, who knew since childhood that all the Chinese characters used by the human race were created by Cangjie, a word-making saint. But now, Su Zhong told them that the word "dragon" was not coined by Cangjie, which was tantamount to setting off a violent earthquake in their minds.
"Second uncle, you are a big liar! Ru'er doesn't believe your nonsense? Although Ru'er has only learned to read and write for a few months, she also knows that the Chinese characters we use were all created by the Cangjie sage. The dragon character is no exception...... The second uncle is a big liar!"
Su Ru was the first to object, after all, this was too unbelievable. Su Lin and Xiang Kaiwu and the others were also noncommittal, looking at Su Zhong suspiciously, waiting for Su Zhong's further explanation.
"Second uncle, it's not that I don't believe you. If the dragon character was not created by the Cangjie Saint, who else would have the ability to create the dragon character? Who else would have the ability to defeat the powerful ancestral dragon and comprehend the true essence of this dragon character?" Su Lin also asked suspiciously.
"Surin, think about it. At that time, in the entire Tianren Continent, if there was only one person who knew the true meaning of the dragon character, then who would this person be?"
Su Zhong smiled and touched the beard on his chin and asked, and as soon as Su Lin heard this sentence, his eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Second uncle, what do you mean...... Could it be Zu Long himself?"
But as soon as he thought of this result, Su Lin immediately denied it himself, "Impossible! Impossible! The ancestral dragon wants to fight Cangjie hard, and even does not hesitate to make the entire human race an enemy, just to avoid Cangjie from comprehending the idea of the dragon character and creating this dragon character, how can he personally create this dragon character? This is too contradictory and fundamentally unreasonable. ”
"Su Lin, you really don't rush to deny this conclusion. In fact, the dragon character used by our human race is really created by the ancestral dragon himself. ”
Su Zhong smiled and continued, "At that time, the ancestral dragon who defeated many Terran powerhouses escaped and was also injured a lot. Moreover, after this confrontation with the Terran Thought Monk, Zu Long further understood the horror of the Terran Monk. Therefore, he instead wants to settle his old suspicions with the Terran monks and seek a stable future for his dragon sons and grandchildren......"
"Indeed, if it seems that many divine beasts and fierce beasts have fallen one after another in the hands of the powerful thought monks of the human race, although the descendants of the dragon clan led by the ancestral dragon are the most powerful group of divine beasts, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad. However, could it be that because of such worries, the arrogant Dragon Ancestral Dragon would be willing to bow his head to the Human Race?" Su Lin shook his head and said.
"The ideas contained in the dragon character are very profound and weird, and no one can see through them. Even the current Dragon King of the East China Sea, etc., contain the strongest bloodline of the ancestral dragon, and they don't have a deep understanding of the idea of the dragon character. Even so far, for tens of thousands of years, there is only one Zu Long, who can fully interpret the ideological meaning of the dragon character. ”
Su Zhong continued, "Although Zu Long was very confident in this, he began to be scared and loosened when he saw the breakthroughs in the minds that the Terran monks continued to make. He was afraid that the Terran monks would really understand the ideological meaning of the dragon character, and then his dragon sons and grandsons would be easily slaughtered by the Terran monks like other divine beasts and fierce beasts. Therefore, he simply found Cangjie directly and took the initiative to ask to help Cangjie create this dragon character. But the premise is that the only holy word dragon character created must belong to his ancestral dragon......"
"I see, second uncle, Zu Long must want to pass this method. Block all avenues of understanding the dragon's thoughts. As long as he mastered this only holy word dragon, even if there were genius monks in the human race, it would be absolutely impossible for him to comprehend the true thoughts of the dragon. ”
Su Zhong said this, and Su Lin suddenly came to his senses. Combined with his own understanding of the holy characters of pinyin, he also further understood Zulong's intentions, and he really planned far enough!
That's what Zulong meant, but the Cangjie Saint wasn't that easy to talk to. At that time, the relationship between Zulong and the Terrans was very stiff. However, the deadline of the Cangjie Sage is approaching, so in order to create this dragon character, he had to agree to this condition of the ancestral dragon. However, there is also an additional condition, that is, the ancestral dragon must donate a part of his ancestral dragon's blood and implant it into the bloodline of our human race for inheritance......"
Speaking of this, Su Zhong once again revealed a shocking big secret, "This is also part of the reason why we sometimes call ourselves the descendants and bloodlines of the dragon, the Son of Heaven and the royal family also advocate using dragons to call themselves." ”
