Chapter 4 Origin
Wujing Prefecture is the most vast and boundless place in China. Its north is the state of Diji, the southwest is the state of Huizhou, the southeast is connected with Qingzhou, and its northwest has no end, and the Wujing is endless. The historically mysterious Xiaoyao Gate is based in this state. Wujing Prefecture is mostly desert Gobi, although the natural conditions are harsh, but there are many rare plants, and many precious herbs are produced in Wujing Prefecture.
"Tian'er, do you know the origin of this Wujing Prefecture?" Lin Chen noticed that Lin Tian had been looking at the scenery outside the car curiously. "Hmm~, I only heard Master Daotang say a little bit, Wujing Prefecture is where the Xiaoyao Gate is located, and the place where the divine beasts mock the wind and guard. I don't know about the rest. Lin Chen nodded: "Legend has it that the land of Shenzhou was created by the dragon, and after the creation of the dragon, the body turned into heaven and earth, a pair of horns turned into the sun and the moon and shone on all things, so that human beings know the change of time, the scales turned into hills and valleys so that people could choose a place to live, and the blood became rivers and lakes to nourish living beings." When the dragon became immortal, he was afraid that the foundation would be unstable in the future, so he gave birth to nine sons to guard Shenzhou. This is the case with the so-called dragon giving birth to nine sons. "Nine sons, isn't it, why have you only heard of the Prison Ox, Jair, Mocking Wind, Fox, and Negative Cun are the sons of the Dragon?" Lin Tian has known since he was a child that the Divine Beasts of the Five Great Sects: Prison Niu, Jianxi, Raccoon Spirit, Mocking Wind, and Negative Beast are the totem symbols of the Star Saint Sect, Listening to the Night Tower, Xiaoyao Gate, Qingling Sect, and Orchid Garden, and as for the other four, this is also the first time I have heard of them.
"Well, most people only know about the Prison Ox, the Eye, the Mocking Wind, the Fierce Spirit, and the Negative Dog, because they are the symbols of the Five Sects. The other four are little known. Alas. Lin Chen sighed. After a pause, he continued: "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, guarding Shenzhou, and then the four fierce beasts were born, Chaos, Qiqi, Hanqi, and gluttony were the one side of the disaster, and at that time, the living beings were devastated, and the human race was almost extinct. In the end, the nine sons of Shenlong and the four murderers fought a decisive battle in the northwest of Shenzhou. This battle was earth-shattering. Although the four murderers were ambushed in the end, the nine sons of Shenlong also suffered heavy losses, and they were killed in the battle of Pu Prison, Zhan Tuo, and Kiss, and they were not traced after being seriously injured by the Prison Niu, Jianxi, Mocking Wind, Negative Cun, and Fierce Qiang. Later, the five major sects were established, and in order to commemorate them, they were all symbolized by the beast god. The place where the Nine Sons of the Divine Dragon fought the battle with the four murderers is the northwest of Wujing Prefecture today. This place is still in chaos, and no living creature dares to step into it. So that no one knows the end of Wujing Prefecture, so the descendants named Wujing to show endless meaning. ”
Lin Tian listened attentively, and then asked, "Then are the remaining six dragons still alive?Where did they go?And why is no one commemorating them?" Lin Chen shook his head: "No one knows about them. However, I seem to have heard that there were actually six major sects in ancient times, one of which was to use the fox as a totem, and then somehow it died out. Dad also heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Lin Tian was deeply attracted by ancient stories. Throughout the day, his mind had always been the scene of the battle between the Nine Sons of the Divine Dragon and the Four Murderers. Where did these six divine beasts go? Why didn't the Fox appear in the sect totem? Lin Tian decided that when he returned to Chuanling City, he would definitely go to Dao Hall Jin Wen to ask for clarification, he was well-read, and he must have known.
For several days, the carriage traveled all the way north. The grass along the way began to become scarce, gradually revealing the yellow-brown earth, and later, on both sides of the road, it was a yellow expanse. The carriage walked for a while, and only then could you see a few old trees with a little green leaf and weeds under the trees dotting the barren ground. There were fewer pedestrians and horses on the road, and when the sun was about to set, they were the only ones on the road.
Lin Chen drove the carriage off the road and drove towards the barren wilderness. Lin Tian asked puzzledly, "Dad, why don't you camp on the road?" Lin Chen looked up at the sun that was about to sink behind the mountain: "This place is sparsely populated, but it is the only way to Hezhou City. It's the favorite place of the bandits. Bandits are rampant here, and merchants along the way are often robbed here. If we camp on the road, we will probably be robbed by bandits tonight. Lin Tian didn't ask again, and he also became nervous when he saw that his father had been looking up frequently at the darkening sky.
