Chapter 16: The Sea
Wanshui flows into the sea in the east......
Out of the palace gate, taking advantage of the night breeze, Bian Xi, who was dressed in white clothes and white robes and white boots, rode a jujube red horse shaped like a flame, all the way to the east......
The smoke and dust are rolling, the sun rises and the moon sets, the stars are moving, and he doesn't realize that it is more than three months, this day he finally came to a mountain gap that towers into the clouds, as long as he passes through the gap, his eyes will suddenly open up, because he has come to the shore of the East China Sea, the shore of the rock!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records...... In that year, the Gonggong clan and Zhuan Xuan competed for the throne, and after being defeated, they rode two flying dragons on their mounts, flew to the west where Buzhou Mountain was, and struggled to bump into Buzhou Mountain.
The water god co-worker, the head of the snake body, red hair and long beard, riding two winding dragons, in an instant, the sky roared, like a thunderbolt, only to see the towering Buzhou Mountain, was so violently hit by the water god co-worker, immediately stopped and broken, the huge mountain rumbled and collapsed.
Between heaven and earth, the wind and clouds change, the infinite deep space, the nine heavens of the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars are shifted; The vast land of China is full of landslides and earth cracks, and rivers are changing.
Originally, this Buzhou Mountain was originally a pillar between heaven and earth, but now the pillars of heaven and earth have been broken, and the stable earth has to collapse to the southeast, and the sky is relatively falling in the northwest direction......
This also indirectly leads to the fact that the sun, moon and stars rise in the east and set in the west every day; And the earth collapsed to the southeast, so that all the rivers on the land flowed eastward, and finally poured into the blue sea to the east.
The story is intricate, complex and far-reaching, but the recording conditions may be too harsh, and only a few pen and ink are left in the tens of thousands of words of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
In "The Great Wilderness of the West": There is "the northwest overseas, the corner of the great wilderness, there are mountains but not together, and the name is not good." Another strange text recorded, "Huainanzi Tianwenxun": "In the past, the people worked together and fought for the emperor, and they were angry and couldn't touch the mountain. The pillars of heaven are broken, and the earth is overwhelmed. The sky is inclined to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars are moving, the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, so the water and dust return. ”
Return to the ruins is also to return to nothingness, and everything returns to nothingness...... Legend has it that it is a bottomless valley in the sea, where all the waters of the world meet!
According to the record of the Great Wilderness of the East Coast of Mountains and Seas, there is a bottomless ravine beyond the vast East China Sea, where all the water in the world flows, but it will not increase or decrease.
"Liezi Tang Wen": In the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know how many hundreds of millions of miles, there are big gullies, but there is no bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, which is called "returning to the ruins", which may be the most imaginative guess of the constancy of the seawater......
As for the water flowing into the ruins, where does it end up?
There is still such a speculation......
When Hou Yi shot the sun, shot down nine suns, these nine golden crows fell into the sea, turned into a fertile fire, because the sun is a fire spirit, has a very high temperature, so the surrounding sea water is constantly vaporized, although the sea water is turbulent, but will never increase or decrease, constant. This speculation can be regarded as solving the problem of seawater evaporation, which can be said to be very close to the answer. Hehe......
At this moment, a man and a horse, a white and a red, with fluttering clothes and beards, are standing in the wind, standing on the shore of the East China Sea, on the top of the stone, incarnated as Bian Xi's Xie Feng, thinking of the strange things recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", he couldn't help but sigh with admiration, he sighed that the imagination of the ancients is by no means beyond the reach of these modern people in later generations, and must look up!
The sun rises in the east, a ray of morning light, piercing the sky, the sea breeze sweeps by, like a spring breeze, Bian Xi, who is in a good mood, rides on the jujube red horse, then releases the reins, covers his eyes with one hand, and looks into the distance......
I saw that the sea is vast, the water and the sky are the same color, and if a red sun comes out of it, it is a magnificent scenery, and I can't help but think of the "Watching the Sea" of Cao Mengde, the hero of later generations......
"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea. The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it; The stars are splendid, if out of it. Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”
This poem is majestic, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, worthy of a generation of heroes! It's a pity that through the ages, heroes are nowhere to be found, and the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind......
Xie Feng was sighing, when the hero Cao Mengde was making a masterpiece in later generations, suddenly a gust of sea breeze swept by, the sound of seabirds was everywhere, and the jujube red horse saw this, took two steps back, and then used his front hooves to plane circles in place, making bursts of neighing, so he hurriedly looked into the distance again......
