Chapter 866: Kunlun
This world was formed in ancient times by three huge continents.
At that time, there were three main civilizations in the world.
One is the Oriental civilization known for East Asia.
One is the Buddhist civilization known in South Africa.
The last one is the Western civilization that became Western Europe.
Eastern civilization includes cultivators, ninjas, demons, and warriors.
Oriental civilization is also known as Chinese civilization. The Chinese civilization was the leader of the Three Continents at that time.
Western civilization is led by the god of fighting and the god of law, so the western civilization is mainly based on magic and fighting spirit, which is similar to the cultivation of the Chinese civilization.
The Buddhist civilization in South Africa appeared as if out of thin air, and in that era, Buddhism sprung up and soon formed a three-legged situation with Eastern and Western civilizations.
The three different civilizations have been at peace for thousands of years, but it was not until 6,000 years ago that Western Europe and South Africa joined forces to wage a war that could be called annihilating the civilization of the East.
That war directly broke up the three continents, and the three major civilizations disappeared as a result, and later generations only had a few words to summarize that war
Clash of the Gods!
Later, the cultivators, ascetics, or magicians have all disappeared from the world stage.
The wheel of time did not stop, and after more than a thousand years (5,000 years ago), mankind began to slowly return to normal.
However, due to the fierce war of the gods, the earth, which originally had only three major landmasses, was torn apart, and the land originally ruled by the Eastern civilization became Asia.
However, because the descendants of the Chinese in later generations were too far apart from each other, they gradually became many countries with different cultures.
There is only one country that has continued the essence of Eastern civilization, and it is the present
China!
The situation in Western Europe and South Africa is also comparable, but compared with the Chinese civilization, Western Europe is even more miserable, and to this day, the Vatican, which is only a small land, has continued the pure Western European civilization.
South Africa is even more miserable than Western Europe. After all, the battlefield of the War of the Gods is the land of South Africa in the center, so South Africa has been dismembered into pieces.
Today, the holy place of South African civilization is the Naga of the Shochu in India, but it is comparable to the Vatican of Western European civilization.
But now the forces or people who know the origin of the world are very rare, and they are either hiding from the world or detached, and they are not interested in the current world pattern at all.
Kunlun Mountain.
The mysterious fairy mountain that has been circulating in China since ancient times, although the existence of Kunlun Mountain is still an unsolved mystery, but the records about Kunlun Mountain have never stopped.
Cui Hong, a historian of the Northern Wei Dynasty, called it "the ancestor of the mountains on the sea" and "the majority of famous mountain monks in the world" in the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms".
Since ancient times, Kunlun Mountain has attracted Buddhist Taoists to build temples and temples here, cultivate self-cultivation, and preach scriptures. Far away in the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were many temples here, and the incense was continuous. To the Jin Yuan, Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School of Chinese Taoism, and his seven disciples selected this place as the "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" of the founding school, leaving many fascinating Taoist relics.
But now the world's well-known Kunlun Mountain is just a tourist attraction of the same name, and it has nothing to do with the fairy mountain Kunlun in myths and stories.
Kunlun has changed from a mythical world to a fairyland, and there is a process.
For example, the "Three Classics of the Western Times" says that Kunlun is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven on the earth, where in addition to the protection of the nine-tailed tiger body of the god Lu Wu, there is also a kind of beast with four horns, some like sheep, named earth scales, can eat people, the birds on it, look like bees, but as big as mandarin ducks.
There is a kind of tree that blooms yellow flowers and bears red fruits, the fruit tastes like plums, seedless, and is called Shatang, which can resist water without drowning after eating. This is obviously a strange mythical world.
The same is Kunlun, in the "Huainanzi Topographical Training" is a different scene: Kunlun has a nine-fold city (a city higher than the first floor), which is 11,114 steps and 2 feet 6 inches high.
There is Mu He, and its cultivation is five fathoms. The pearl jade tree, the Xuan tree, and the immortal tree are in the west, the Shatang Langwang Qianhao is in the east, the red jade tree is in the south, and the green tree and the Yao tree are in the north. There were four hundred and forty gates beside it. The door is four miles, the inside is nine pure, and the pure zhang is five feet. There are nine wells next to it, and the jade horizontal (the instrument that bears the immortal medicine) is the northwest corner of Weiqi. The north gate is open to accommodate the wind. Tilting palace (occupy a hectare of the palace), the rotating room (the room decorated with jade), the county garden, the cool breeze, Fan Tong, in Kunlun reading.
The pond of the sparse garden, soaked in yellow water (suspected to be spring water), the yellow water is restored to its original three weeks, it is Danshui (red water), and it is immortal to drink.
There are all the things needed in the fairy world, including immortal trees, immortal medicine, immortal water, and so on. The decoration is based on jade, and there is no trace of exotic beasts, which is purely an ideal fairyland. It is said that in the early days, immortals did not need to cultivate, and only needed to eat more than some immortal things to achieve the goal of immortality.
Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor ate a kind of jade paste in boiling soup, and changed from a mythical hero to a leader of the fairy world.
Kunlun is no longer comparable to the past, it is like the hometown of immortals.
The legendary Kunlun, both tall and large, is the pole of the center, and is also the pillar of heaven and earth that connects the heavens and the earth.
Kunlun is the source of the Yellow River, the Yellow River is the mother river, the ancients out of this worship psychology, Kunlun from the sacred mountain to the fairy mountain is logical.
Kunlun Mountain has a lofty position in mythology, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the West of the Sea" says, it is the highest mountain in the sea, in the northwest, is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven on the earth.
Kunlun Mountain has a radius of 800 miles, as high as 7 or 8,000 zhang. There is a kind of wood grass growing on it, four feet high, thick enough for five people to hug.
There are nine wells on each side of the mountain, and each well is railed with the best spirit stones. There are several pills on each side, and there are enlightened beasts guarding each door.
The Enlightened Beast is a half-human, half-beast god, with a body the size of a tiger, nine heads, all of which look like human faces, facing the east, standing on the Kunlun Mountains.
Kunlun Mountain is the place where the gods are located. Because of its towering height, the Kunlun Mountains became a natural barrier between ancient China and the west, and were considered by the ancient Chinese to be the edge of the world, and the year-round snow cover of the Kunlun Mountains made ancient China a symbol of the West with white.
Ancient mythology believed that there was a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with a human head and a leopard body, served by two blue birds. Later legends matched the Queen Mother of the West with an "Eastern Prince" and evolved into the prototype of the Jade Emperor.
Qifeng Tingting Yuli, legend has it that she is the incarnation of the two younger sisters of the Jade Emperor.
Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of all mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation.
It is the location of the Taoist mixed yuan school (Kunlun school) dojo in the late Ming Dynasty.
It is the first sacred mountain in China.
But Kunlun Mountain also completely disappeared from the stage of history because of the battle of the gods.
