Chapter Twenty-Four: Hou Yi Shoots Nine Days

Chang'e began to tell Dayu about her past with Houyi;

It turned out that Chang'e and Hou Yi were both people from the western foot of Taihang Mountain called Tunliu Place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain, beautiful scenery, outstanding people. Chang'e and Houyi live in the same village. Since childhood, they have frolicked and played together and grown together. It's really Chang'e making green plums, Yi riding a bamboo horse, and the two have no guesses.

As I grew up. Hou Yi grew into a handsome, dashing, sturdy and brave young man. Outstanding talent and excellent martial arts. Especially a magic bow, a magic arrow, a hundred steps through the yang, a hundred shots, incomparable. There is no second person in the land of China who can compete with him.

He practiced shooting willow branches during the day, stood a hundred paces away, stretched out his bow and arrows, aimed at a willow branch, and when an arrow was shot, the willow branch broke in response. At the end of the day, all the willow branches on a tree fell to the ground, leaving only a sleek trunk.

At night, he lit a stick of incense, hung it upside down on a branch, and practiced shooting incense. Standing a hundred steps away, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the red fire on the incense head, and shot an arrow, just shooting the red fire on the incense head. Then ignite again, shoot again. On any night, you can shoot a bucket full of incense ash.

Once, I was competing in archery with several young people from the same village, and suddenly I heard the cry of a bird in the sky. At this time, I saw Hou Yi stretch his bow and arrow, aimed at the sky, shot an arrow, and after a long time I saw a few feathers scattered in the sky, and then a bird with a feather arrow fell from the air, everyone picked up the bird and looked at it, and the feather arrow went straight through the throat.

Once, Hou Yi and several young people practiced archery at night, some shooting owls and some gnats. Hou Yi specializes in shooting bats that fly at night. At this time, he suddenly saw a meteor crossing the sky, Hou Yi hurriedly stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, and a divine arrow tried his best to shoot towards the meteor. After a stick of incense, I saw that the meteor shook violently, and then it was planted headlong, with a slip of fire, planted on the ground. Everyone ran over to take a look, the meteor was the size of a grinding disk, and the magic arrow shot by Hou Yi was nailed to the center of the "grinding disk".

One year, Hou Yi heard that Uncle He in the Yellow River, taking advantage of the flood in the Yellow River, colluded with the witches on the side of the Yellow River, and under the pretext of marrying a daughter-in-law to Uncle He, he searched for money everywhere, and threw several girls from poor families who could not come up with money into the Yellow River, saying that he was marrying a daughter-in-law for Uncle He.

Hou Yi was jealous and hateful, and searched for traces of Hebo on both sides of the Yellow River all day long. On this day, it was also time for Hebo to have an accident, Hou Yi was looking for Hebo along the river, but at this time Hebo came up from the water, came to the river, and watched the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River by stepping on the waves of the Yellow River.

Hou Yi saw Hebo from a distance, and his anger burned. didn't answer, opened his bow and took an arrow, aimed at one of Hebo's eyes, and shot an arrow with a "whoosh", hitting Hebo's left eye. He Bo was defenseless, and suddenly his left eye was shot, which hurt to the bone marrow, and he screamed, hurriedly covered his left eye with both hands, and fell headlong into the river.

Although Hou Yi did not shoot Hebo, he finally breathed a sigh of relief for the people. So he put away his bow and arrows and returned to his hometown.

When Chang'e grew up, she became a smart, beautiful, and hardworking girl, more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. Gentle, virtuous, kind, hardworking, and willing to help others.

Hou Yi and Chang'e fell in love freely and became husband and wife. is really a talented woman, a beauty with a hero.

They love each other, go in and out of pairs, and are inseparable. When people saw them, they looked at them with envy.

Hou Yi is full of martial arts, archery is like a god, everywhere for the people to eliminate harm, punish evil and promote good, eliminate violence and peace. Chang'e washed, cooked, and houseed for Houyi.

This year, ten suns suddenly rose in the sky together. He roasted the earth as if it were about to burn.

Originally, there was a place called Yang Valley in the east of the earth, which was a fairy island in the East China Sea, and there was a big tree thousands of zhang high growing in Yang Valley, and the name of the tree was "Fusang".

The sun god had a total of ten sons, all of whom were the embodiment of the golden raven. The Emperor ordered all ten of their brothers to live in the Yanggu Valley in the east. During the day, they frolic and play in the Yanggu valley, and at night they spend the night perched on the tall hibiscus trees.

They had ten brothers, and one of them was on duty every day. It rises in the morning from the East Sea, travels through the sky from east to west, travels through the world, and sets in the evening on the West Mountain. Illuminate the earth with sunlight and bring warmth to the earth.

This kind of duty work is a very kind of work, traveling all over the world in one day, from the east to the west, and seeing the whole beautiful world, with mountains and seas. There are long rivers, there are lakes. There are snow-capped mountains, deserts, green trees and red flowers, all kinds of animals, and all kinds of busy people on the land.

But the fly in the ointment is that only one person can go to duty every day, and it takes ten days to get one's turn, and the person on duty feels very lonely alone in the sky, while the rest of the people can only stay in Yanggu, unable to go anywhere, and very tired.

Since ancient times, these ten suns have been on duty in an orderly and orderly manner, rising in the East China Sea in the morning and setting in the Western Mountains in the evening, and there has never been a mistake.

But on this day, these ten stubborn Golden Crow brothers suddenly had a whim and a whim. Let the ten brothers come out together to be on duty, and at the same time ascend to the sky. Everyone gathers together to talk, laugh, and play. Radiate light and heat to the earth.

This is a big deal. The light and heat of the ten suns shot at the same time on the earth, baking the earth like a blazing furnace.

There was not a single cloud in the sky, the mountains and forests were on fire, and the rivers were dried up. The crops were scorched, and the earth was cracked. People were roasted to the point of gasping and had no water to drink.

When people think of Hou Yi, they all know that he is a sharpshooter. So he begged him to shoot down the extra sun in the sky and save the people who were about to be scorched.

Hou Yi agreed to the people's requests. However, he was not sure. The sun is big and far away, but it doesn't come down easily. Although there is already a magic bow, there must be a magic arrow.

So, Hou Yi and Chang'e created nine magic arrows overnight, each arrow is one zhang long, using cold arrow bamboo as the arrow shaft, gold as the arrowhead, and Honghu wing feathers as the arrow feathers.

Everything was ready, and Hou Yi, surrounded by people, came to the high mountain. I saw that he pulled out his lunge, showed his divine bow, mounted the divine arrow, carried enough divine power, aimed at the largest sun, and struggled to shoot a divine arrow.

I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and the bow was really open like a full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor. The arrow flew straight to the sun in the sky.

The people held their breath and were silent, waiting for a miracle to happen. Time passed minute by minute, and just when people were about to lose hope, they suddenly saw the largest sun in the sky, and it went out with a "poof". Then, like a goddess scattering flowers, golden feathers fluttered all over the sky, falling down from the sky one after another. The golden crow that had been shot fell from the sky with a gurgling and fell behind the mountain to the west.

The people immediately cheered: "Shoot down, shoot down." "Good shot, good shot. "Shoot again, shoot again, shoot fast, shoot fast. ”

At this time, Hou Yi's confidence increased greatly. So he opened his bow and arrows again, carried his strength enough, drew the bow full, and aimed at another sun in the sky, and with a "whoosh" sound, he shot out another magic arrow.

The arrow burst through the sky, and after a while, another sun went out with a "poof", followed by a puff of golden feathers falling from the sky, and another golden crow rolled down to the back of the western mountain.

There was another cheer: "Shoot down another, shoot another, shoot again, shoot again." ”

At this time, the remaining eight suns in the sky were afraid. In a chaotic manner, they hid in Tibet one by one, for fear of shooting themselves.

Hou Yi shot more and more bravely, and made persistent efforts, one after another, and shot eight magic arrows in a row. The arrows did not miss, and a total of eight suns were shot down in the arrows.

At this time, there were still two suns left in the sky, and they were all trembling with fright. Hou Yi stopped the arrow.

But there was still not a trace of wind in the sky, and the hot people were out of breath. So the people shouted again: "It's still hot, shoot the next one, shoot the next one, and leave only one left." So Hou Yi drew his bow and arrows, aimed at one of them, and struggled to shoot the last magic arrow. Another golden crow of feathers was scattered, and the ninth sun was shot down and rolled behind the western mountain.

At this time, there was only the last sun left in the sky, and this sun was so frightened that his legs were weak, for fear that he would also be shot down.

Hou Yi pointed to the last sun and said loudly, "Listen! Thou shalt rise in the east at the right time every morning, and walk through the sky by day, and set at the right time in the west by night. We must be loyal to our duties, behave in a proper manner, and do not allow willfulness. Otherwise, the nine brothers I shot down will be your example. ”

The last sun nodded in fright. From then on, the rules and regulations will be beneficial, and they will no longer dare to be willful.

Suddenly, the heat on the earth disappeared, and the white clouds floated into the sky again. The east wind was blowing, and the drizzle was blowing. The earth was covered with green again, flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields, and the rivers flowed with clear water. Since then, the wind and rain have been smooth. People are living in peace and contentment again.

Hou Yi shot down nine suns and made great contributions to the people. has become a big hero in people's hearts, and people are singing the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun everywhere.
