The first time, Inhuman
The Great Shang Country, the capital of the Song Dynasty
Twenty miles southeast of Chaoge, it is where the tomb of the Great Shang King is located. In the past, the first kings of Shang Tang were buried here, so this is also the place where the emperor's spirit is the most prosperous in the world. The royal tomb is ten acres in circumference, surrounded by ancient cypress in front of the mausoleum, and there is a giant statue of Chengtang, the founder of the Great Shang Dynasty, which is made of huge stones, at the gate, solemn and solemn. On weekdays, people are not allowed to approach, but today they saw a group of people and horses coming in the distance.
The carriage at the head was extraordinary, with a gilded canopy, drawn by six horses. There were two people sitting on the top of the car, one was wearing an imperial crown, wearing a black brocade robe, embroidered with nine golden dragons, this person was not angry and arrogant, it was the king of the great merchant who had just ascended the throne; the other was a woman, with a graceful demeanor, a face like peach blossoms and dark clouds, beautiful and incomprehensible, it was the wife of the king of the Emperor - Queen Jiang.
In the car, Queen Jiang cautiously asked: "Didn't the king already sacrifice heaven and earth and ancestors yesterday? Why did you bring your concubine to this royal tomb today?"
The king smiled and said: "Do you know, the rules set by the previous kings of the Great Shang Dynasty, the new monarch first worships the ancestors of heaven and earth when he ascends the throne, and then goes to the palace of the king to worship the Xuanniao." ”
Queen Jiang had heard of this Xuanniao, but she had never seen it, so she only nodded and said: "The concubine heard my father say that the ancestors of merchants have always used Xuanniao as a totem, I thought it was just a legend, could it be that there is really such a god?"
The king shook his head, "The widow has never seen it, so you don't need to guess much, just take a look." ”
At this time, the mausoleum keeper had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the king's carriage and horse coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. However, worshipping Xuanniao is different from sacrificing heaven and earth and ancestors, and cannot carry civil and military officials, only the 'king' and 'queen' can enter.
Thousands of times in the royal tomb, King Xuan and Queen Jiang were led to the center of the royal tomb by the spirit officer. At first glance, this place looks empty, but when you look up, there is a dome above, and there is a huge bird totem on the ground, with a radius of about ten zhang.
The two of them saw that there was a small totem in the center of the Xuanniao totem, which was the size of a palm, and it was made of pure gold, which was very peculiar.
The king asked the spirit officer: "There is no way here, how can I enter the underground palace?"
The spirit officer knelt on the ground and offered a dagger made of gold, and said, "Great King, this Xuanniao totem is the mechanism for entering the underground palace, and it needs the blood of the Great King to activate. ”
Queen Jiang thought: 'Presumably, this Xuanniao is extremely noble and mysterious, and it needs the blood of the Sons of Heaven to activate the mechanism before it can enter the underground palace......
The King of Xuan did not hesitate, took the dagger and swiped it towards the palm of his hand, dripping a few drops of blood, and the golden totem really slowly turned when it touched the blood of the King of Xuan. After a while, there was a sound of a machine, and the floor split in two and slowly parted on both sides.
The spirit official bandaged his palm with a brocade handkerchief and said in a low voice: "The king, please see, the entrance to the underground palace has been opened, please go to worship the Xuanniao." The villain is waiting here. ”
The two of them saw that a secret passage leading directly to the underground palace appeared in front of them, and then they slowly descended the stairs. The secret passage was supposed to be pitch black, but the light at the end of the tunnel came from somewhere so that the two of them could see the way. After walking about three hundred steps, the space suddenly opened up at the end of the secret passage, and the bright King and Queen Jiang in the underground palace were a little unable to open their eyes.
"What shines so brightly?"
After a while, the king fixed his eyes and saw that in front of the two of them was a shining golden palace! The surrounding walls were all made of pure gold, and in the middle stood a huge Xuanjing five zhang high and three zhang wide, which was shining dazzlingly. The light is reflected by the gold, so it shines even more brightly.
"Wow!
Queen Jiang exclaimed, only to see this huge and friendless spirit bird frozen in the Xuanjing, with a crown on its head and nine tail feathers behind it, but the feathers on its body were pitch black, and its eyes were closed and lifeless, as if it was dead or sleeping.
The king exclaimed: "This is the god Xuanniao worshiped by the ancestors of my great Shang dynasty? The widow is also the first time to see it! It is really majestic!" After that, I looked at the faint words on the gold and blue, and after looking carefully, I realized that it was engraved with the inscription that the ancestors of the Yin Shang dynasty worshiped the Xuanniao. There is no doubt that the spirit bird in this Xuanjing is the totem bird worshiped by the ancestors of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Queen Jiang had never seen such a majestic spirit beast before, and she couldn't help but step forward and touch Xuanjing with her hand. Only at the moment of contact, a warm stream of heat seemed to be transmitted through Xuanjing into Queen Jiang's palm. Queen Jiang only felt panicked and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing that Queen Jiang almost fell, the king hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and instructed: "You are already pregnant, be careful not to move the fetus." ”
"Don't worry, it's that Xuanjing is very cold, so he suddenly retracted his hand. Queen Jiang took a breath and felt that it was not a big deal.
King Xuan looked at Xuanjing and sighed: "The golden wall said that the ancestors found this Xuanjing in this Xuanjing, and the ancestors of the previous dynasties couldn't open the Xuanjing by all means, it seems that it is beyond the power of man." The two of them then bowed to the Xuanniao, exited the dungeon and returned.
Seven months later, the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace of the King of Chaoge.
At this time, it is the end of summer and early autumn, and there is a special scenery in the Imperial Garden, and there are three or five visitors walking in the garden. The only person who can walk in this imperial garden has always been the emperor's relatives, and this person is none other than Queen Jiang.
This queen Jiang's big belly is already pregnant in September, and when the melon is ripe, she shouldn't be moving around anymore at this time, but she is inevitably upset when she lies on the couch all day, and she comes to the imperial garden for a walk today.
I saw the maids hugging Jiang Hou carefully, and said: "As soon as the king ascended the throne, he immediately made Niangniang the queen, which shows how much the king likes you! The king is the dragon among the people, and the mother is the phoenix among the people, and now the dragon and the phoenix are combined, and they will immediately add a thousand years old! Why worry about the national fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty?"
"Your girl's mouth is getting better and better at talking!" Queen Jiang seemed to reprimand a sentence on her lips, but in fact, her heart was beautiful, after all, her father was one of the four marquis of the Great Shang Kingdom, Jiang Huanchu, one of the four princes of the Great Shang Kingdom, and it was undoubtedly a good thing for her to be the queen of the light lintel, and now she has to fill in the ding in less than a year, which is really joyful.
Everyone was in high spirits to enjoy the flowers, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in the air, and everyone couldn't stand. Queen Jiang was blown by the wind, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she couldn't help but moan "Oops". The maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said nonsense: "Niangniang, are you okay?"
Queen Jiang frowned and bit her lip, and said tremblingly: "I'm afraid that I have a fetal gas, I'm afraid...... It's going to be born!"
"Ah?" The maids were a little flustered, after all, this was the queen's birth, and the imperial doctor and the midwife were waiting in the East Palace, and they didn't bring it, what if there was a mistake? Fortunately, an older maid had some experience, and said to everyone: "Don't mess around." Then he took off his coat and spread it on the ground, let Queen Jiang lie down, and instructed the other maids: "Don't be in a hurry, let's go outside the garden alone and inform the guards to prepare a carriage to pick up the midwife, and let people report to the king." The rest of the people worked together to help the mother deliver the baby. ”
Only then did everyone stabilize their position, after all, no one expected that the queen would give birth in advance.
Queen Jiang's moaning voice became louder and louder, and the maids were sweating like a great enemy, helping with their hands and feet, just asking for the safety of the mother and son. A quarter of an hour later, only to hear the maid cry out for joy, "Mother, give birth!" and then another, "Ah......! What is this!"
Several maids screamed in fright, and they only stepped back, only to see that the maid who was supposed to follow the baby was holding not a baby, but an egg!?
How can a man lay an egg?
In the panic of everyone, Queen Jiang, who had collapsed, took a look at the round egg she had given birth to, and almost fainted: "How can this be?
This egg is the size of a leather ball, and there seems to be something moving in it, Queen Jiang thought: "Since ancient times, there have been all kinds of bizarre legends about the birth of sages, could this child also be an outlier?"
The maids had the courage to peel off the eggshell, which contained a liquid like egg white, enveloping a baby boy. A bold maid put her hand in and trembled and hugged the baby boy out, and the egg whites were suddenly scattered all over the ground, and the baby boy, who had been motionless, cried loudly when he saw the light.
"Congratulations Niangniang! Yes...... It's a boy!" exclaimed the maid excitedly.
Queen Jiang couldn't wait to say, "Quick! give it to me!"
Seeing the baby crying loudly and the facial features were upright, Queen Jiang thought: Finally, there is no danger!
The maid asked again, "Niangniang, what a handsome little Chitose! What is the name of the handsome little Chitose?"
Queen Jiang thought for a while and said, "He was born in the suburbs, so let's call it the suburbs." Then he ordered all the maids present not to talk to anyone about the strangeness of the birth of the suburbs.
When he returned to the harem, the king was overjoyed to hear that the queen had given birth to a baby boy, and ordered a general amnesty to the world, and set up a banquet in the palace for ten days before resting. A year and a half later, Queen Jiang gave birth to a boy for King Xu, but the second child was normal and named Yin Hong.
Fourteen years later, the court performed martial arts in the Imperial Palace
The martial arts arena was originally a forbidden place, but today there are two people standing on the south and north of the martial arts arena, and the hundreds of armor soldiers on the side of the field are silent. Look at the man in the south, who is in his early forties, eight feet tall, majestic, dressed in a gray robe, with a look on his face, and a mustache on his mouth to add to his brilliance; this person is none other than Huang Feihu, the king of the town of the Great Shang Dynasty.
This person has extremely high martial arts skills and is regarded as the first military general of the Great Shang Dynasty and commands the three armies.
Look at the north again, this man is a teenager. Thirteen or fourteen years old, handsome and spirited, wearing a series of light yellow robes, a dragon tattooed on the robe, and a spear in his hand. I heard this young man shouting, "Master, I have been studying art with you for three years, and I want to officially challenge you today!"
"Haha! Okay!" Huang Feihu didn't talk nonsense, cut off the head of the spear in his hand, and replied: "Although you are my apprentice, you are also the current prince, and I can't hurt you as a teacher." ”
It turned out that the young man in front of him was none other than the son of King Zi and Queen Jiang today, that is, the prince Chitose - Yin Jiao.
Seeing that Huang Feihu lowered the gun lightly, Yin Jiao didn't dare to be careless, grabbed the body of the gun and stepped forward to stab Huang Feihu's eyebrows. Huang Feihu's thoughts: This move is very impressive. When Yin Jiao jumped in front of him, he suddenly raised his gun to block Yin Jiao's spear. Yin Jiao stood firm, shook his hand, stabbed out five or six shots in a row, and went straight to the third road, Huang Feihu danced the gun with one hand and blocked it one by one.
But after some fighting, Huang Feihu only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and he couldn't help but think secretly: 'The suburbs have had extraordinary powers since they were children, they already like to play with tigers and leopards at the age of four or five, and at the age of seven or eight, they have beaten a group of martial artists all over the ground to find teeth. Now that I'm only ten years old, I have such strength! I don't lose to the masters I have ever met! No wonder the king wants me to be his master, I'm afraid that there are few people in Chaoge City who can accompany the suburbs to practice martial arts......
Just thinking about it, Yin Jiao saw that the three roads could not be broken, and he used a move to sweep away the thousands of troops, Huang Fei quickly sent the gun to the ground with a pestle, and the force was so fierce that it was three inches into the stone!
"Come again!" Yin Jiao abandoned the gun and flew up and kicked it, Huang Feihu stretched out his hand to block it, only to feel that this kick had a thousand catties of strength, and the whole person also took a step back.
"Okay!" Marshal Huang Feihu naturally did not show weakness, he flipped his hand and grabbed Yin Jiao's ankle, and with a slam flick, the person flew out of the martial arts arena like a kite with a broken line. Yin Jiao screamed, rolled a few times on the ground and got up, his face was full of dissatisfaction.
Just as he was about to step forward again, suddenly a majestic voice came from behind him: "Suburb!"
Yin Jiao looked back, and the person who came had a majestic face, a beard, and a black and yellow imperial robe, surrounded by dragons. It's none other than his father, the son of the Great Shang, Yin Shou, the king of Zhou.
Yin Jiao hurriedly bowed down and saluted the king, "Son, see the father!
When everyone saw that it was the king of Zhou, they knelt on the mountain and shouted: "Long live the king!"
Huang Feihu jumped off the stage and saluted the king, and said, "Why is the king here in person?"
King Su beckoned Yin Jiao to come over, patted his hand on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that the suburbs don't know the height of the sky, and they are looking for the marshal to learn martial arts, so I came to take a look." ”
Huang Feihu said with a smile: "Your Highness is a master of art and courage, and he is born with divine power, if the Japanese handsome man is not His Highness's opponent!"
The king shook his head and smiled: "According to Gu Suo's observation, the suburbs are more than strong and less flexible, don't you know that softness can overcome rigidity?
Huang Feihu asked again: "The king is here in person, could it be that there is something in the court?"
King Su nodded, "Tomorrow, the princes will meet in the capital, and there are many things that still need to be discussed with the marshal." After speaking, he instructed Yin Jiao: "You can practice by yourself for a while, the widow has something to discuss with Marshal Huang." ”
"Got it, Father. Yin Jiao agreed.
When the two left, Yin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know when I will be able to win against Master......
Suddenly, a pair of jade hands covered his eyes, and his fingers were slender, clearly a woman's hand, only to hear a crisp voice behind him: "Guess who I am?"
Yin Jiao smiled slightly: "Do you still need to guess." Your voice is like a lark, of course it's Sister Ling'er!"
"I hate it!" The woman behind her let go of her hand and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, you won't pretend not to know and make me happy once!"
The woman in front of Yin Jiao is called Huang Ling'er, she is Huang Feihu's youngest daughter, and it is a coincidence that she was born in the same year as Yin Jiao. In addition, King Xuan and Huang Feihu were taught martial arts by the same master, so they were brothers in the same sect, so the two families naturally became friends. Yin Jiao and Huang Ling'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their relationship is extraordinary, and she is the only one in the entire palace who can 'neither big nor small' with Yin Jiao.
Huang Ling'er's big eyes are very aura, her face is as white as jade, and she is a beautiful embryo at the end, so Yin Jiao naturally likes it very much. I saw her pull Yin Jiao's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, today I saw you compete with my father, and your skills are amazing!"
Yin Jiao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Master obviously let me, as the saying goes, a mountain is still a mountain high, and the masters inside and outside the song are like clouds, what am I doing these two times." Since you're free today, how about I accompany you to practice swords?"
When Huang Ling'er heard this, he hurriedly nodded and responded: "Great, I just learned a set of swordsmanship a few days ago, and I just happened to compare with you!"
This Huang Ling'er likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he has the true inheritance of Huang Feihu, although his young swordsmanship is also comparable to Yin Jiao. The two of them each picked a sword and competed.
"Your Highness, look at the sword!"
"Hey, be careful!"
