In ancient books, it was recorded that 'the East Palace Canglong, the South Vermilion Bird, the West Palace Xianchi, and the North Palace Xuanwu. 'It's not the white tiger here, it's the salty pond. And the salty pond is the star of the main five grains, and the main autumn, because the five grains are harvested in the autumn, so it is placed in the autumn, but it is not an animal, how can it be matched with dragons, birds, and turtles to form the four spirits? Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, he had already questioned: 'Canglong, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and each total seven houses are concerned.' As for the salty pool, it is not one star, and it is free to be outside the twenty-eight nights.

There is also an explanation for the salty pond, which is a place for sun bathing. 'The sun is out of the Yanggu, bathed in the salty pool, and brushed in the Fusang, which is called the morning light'. It can be seen that the salty pond was originally regarded as the sunrise place by the Qiang people, and the salty pond is also the alkaline water lake, which should be the taro lake in the Minshan area, or Qinghai. This proves that the celestial phenomena of the Star Palace worshipped by primitive people do not yet have the concept of green dragons and white tigers. The so-called: 'Linfeng, turtle and dragon, called the four spirits. 'Replace the salty pond that does not belong to the animal with a unicorn. In later generations, there were four spirits and four elephants with tigers.

And because the White Tiger is the god of war, there are many fierce generals who are said to have become the White Tiger Star in the world, such as: Tang Dynasty general Luo Cheng, Xue Rengui father and son, etc. In addition, the white tiger was sucked and released by Taoism, was deified, and became the door god of various temples.

Southern Suzaku

02 Vermilion Bird can also be said to be a phoenix or a bird. The Suzaku is one of the four spirits, and like the other three, it comes from the stars, and is the general name of the seven southern Nakshatras: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen. It's like Suzaku. Zhu is red, like fire, and the south belongs to fire, so it is called Phoenix. It also has the characteristic of being rejuvenated from the fire, and it is the same as the immortal bird in the West, so it is also called the fire phoenix.

In the records of ancient books, the phoenix is a beautiful bird, and with its song and demeanor as the king of birds, it can bring auspiciousness to the world, and also has the special spirituality of 'not the sycamore does not live, the bamboo does not eat, and the spring does not drink', and because it is the long of the 'feather insect', so and ' The dragon of the scale worm has gradually become a pair in the legend, a changeable, a virtuous and beautiful, it has become a pair that complements each other in folklore, and because the dragon symbolizes the yang, and the phoenix (phoenix is male, female is phoenix) that is also divided into yin and yang gradually becomes the representative of pure yin after the dragon is opposite.

And the phoenix has many original forms, such as golden pheasant, peacock, eagle vulture, hoof, black bird (swallow) and so on...... It is also said that the Buddhist Dapeng golden-winged bird became. The phoenix myth says that the phoenix has the head of a chicken, the jaw of a swallow, the neck of a snake, and the tail of a fish, with five-colored stripes. There are also five varieties of phoenixes, which are divided by color: red is the phoenix, green is the bird, white is the swan, and there are yellow and purple.

And the Xuanniao's saying is: 'The Xuanniao of Heaven's destiny descends to give birth to business, and it is full of earth. The ancient emperor ordered martial arts soup, and the four sides of the positive domain. In it, it is the descendants of Yin Shang who say that their ancestors were born by Xuanniao and established a powerful Shang dynasty. Therefore, Xuanniao became the beginning of the merchant. This history is also recorded in the records of the Soul Continent: 'Yin Qi and his mother are called Jian Di, and there is a daughter of Rong Di, who is the second concubine of the emperor...... The three of them took a bath, and saw the Xuanniao with its eggs, and Jian Di took it and swallowed it, because of the pregnancy contract. In addition to the Yin Shang, the Qin during the Warring States period, the first Yuan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the First Yuan of the Korean Silla were also related to the fairy devouring the eggs of the Xuanbird. Whether it is a bird or a phoenix, it follows the development of Taoism, and it is changed from a bird, or a peacock or a pheasant, etc., into a fairy who is half human and half fowl, and who inherits the art of war to a fairy who is completely human, is all with the development of Taoism.

In the past, there were three temples dedicated to Xuannu in Beijing, called Jiutian Niangniang Temple and Xuannu Temple. There are also Xuannu temples in the north and south.

Northern Xuanwu

Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual creature composed of a turtle and a snake. The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuanwu, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Shen are connected. Wu means black, and Shen means yin. Xuan Ming was originally a description of the turtle: the back of the turtle is black, and the turtle is to invite the turtle to the underworld to ask the first, bring the answer back, and show it to the world in the form of a divination. Therefore, the earliest basalt was the tortoise. Since then, the meaning of Xuan Ming has continued to expand. The turtle lives in the rivers, lakes and seas, so the Xuan Ming has become the god of water; the turtle has a long life, and the Xuan Ming has become a symbol of immortality; the original underworld is in the north, and the oracle bone divination of Yin Shang is 'its divination must go north', so the Xuan Ming has become the northern god again.

Like the other three spirits, Xuanwu has also been transformed from the twenty-eight constellations in the world: fighting, bull, female, void, danger, room, and wall. In ancient times, people after the ancient times had the following interpretations of Xuanwu, "Xuanwu" is a turtle. It is recorded in the record of seeing and hearing that "line, the former vermilion bird and then Xuanwu" and "Xuanwu" are turtles and snakes. Hong Xingzu added: 'Xuanwu is called a turtle and snake. Located in the north, it is called Xuan. There are scales and armor on the body, so it is called martial arts. 'Xuanwu' is a combination of snakes, turtles and snakes.

But Xuanwu was upgraded by later generations of Taoist priests to become the emperor of the north "Zhenwu Emperor". It is different from the other three spirits. The other Qinglong and White Tiger only became the door gods of the mountain temple, and the Vermilion Bird became the Xuannu of the Heavens.

Xuanwu was valued and personified in the Song Dynasty. This is inseparable from the emperors of the Song Dynasty. When the flood is famine, there are legends of Zhenwu, Tianpeng and other generals of the sky. In the first year of the Tianxi of Weizhenzong, an incident happened in the military camp. It is recorded in the record of what he has seen: 'The soldiers of the battalion saw the snake, and the sergeant built the real martial arts hall because of it. In the fourth month of the second year, the spring spring hall side, inexhaustible, the people who are sick and diseased, drink more and heal. When Zhenzong heard about this, he issued an edict to build a view on the spot and gave the name 'Xiangyuan'.

The Six Souls informed Tu Yun of all the stars related to the Four Holy Beasts of the Cod Spirit Continent one by one, especially about the Northern Xuanwu, and introduced it in detail, although the Buddhists and Taoists attributed everything to them, but they didn't know that it was because of their greed that Tongtian could find the inheritor again.

Greed should be the inheritance of gluttony, but because of human greed, the greedy blood of gluttonous blood directly erodes the heart of every monk, human beings are born of multiple desires, once a certain ability in the body is stimulated, then greed will be infinitely magnified.

This is also the reason why gluttony chooses human beings to be inherited, gluttonous holy beasts make such a choice that can make their negative emotions infinitely amplified, and there is only good and no harm to gluttony.

The strongest vein of desire negative emotions, as long as there are negative emotions, there will be the birth of a gluttonous vein, gluttonous from the ancient vein has been said to be the embodiment of evil, he can lead the darkest demon world, and the demon world demons are also under the orders of the gluttonous holy beast, there is a record in ancient books, the strongest god in the demon world is the incarnation of the gluttonous holy beast.

Time passed slowly, Ye Feng woke up first, looked at Tu Yun as soon as he woke up, and seeing that Tu Yun was still unconscious, Ye Feng slowly looked up at Liu Zhongtai and Wu Qun and asked, "Is there something wrong with him?"

Liu Zhongtai smiled slightly and said: "Now I can only say that there is no danger to his life, as for how injured he is, I will only know when he wakes up!"

Ye Feng looked at Tu Yun and said, "Tu Yun almost lost his life because he helped me, I am just a person who is about to die, why does he want to help me so much, is it for the power of the ethereal bloodline in my body?"

"Ethereal that is for others, now you should be able to clearly perceive the strangeness of the power from the gluttonous bloodline, although your current bloodline power has not really opened, but Xiaoyun has helped you communicate the unique bloodline power from the gluttonous bloodline, and it is also because of this that your bloodline power can be perfectly grown, and it is also because of this that your bloodline power can be truly opened.

All of this can only be done after Tu Yun wakes up, all you need to do now is to calm your mind, now you are still very weak and need to rest, you must know that if your body is not for Xiaoyun to help you recover, even if you can expel the flame from the Flame of Hatred, it will not be able to drive away the damage caused by the Flame of Hatred to your body.

Now your body has been restored by Xiaoyun with aura, and the rest you just need to keep recovering your body!" Liu Zhongtai smiled slightly and looked at Ye Feng and said.

"I don't know this, just the moment Tu Yun helped me open the power of the bloodline to clear the flame of hatred, I sensed the kind of desire from his heart, but the power of my gluttonous bloodline is very weak, it will take a long time to open it, even with Tu Yun's help, it will take a certain amount of time!" Ye Feng looked at Tu Yun and said calmly.

"The power of our bloodline at the beginning was not even as pure as yours, isn't it still opened by Xiaoyun?The power of the bloodline may be difficult for others, but for Xiaoyun, as long as you have the power of the bloodline, then nothing else is called a matter, but if you don't have the power of the bloodline, that is the most terrifying existence!" Liu Zhongtai still smiled and looked at Ye Feng and said.

When Liu Zhongtai said this, Ye Feng slowly turned to look at Liu Zhongtai, and only after a long time did he speak: "I, Ye Feng, have been destined to be a lonely person since I was born, until my family was wiped out and hatred occupied everything, I seemed to have a sense of belonging, but that feeling came and went quickly.

It wasn't until Tu Yun helped me expel the flames of hatred that I understood what it was like to be at home, what was warmth, what friendship was, it was my luck to see Tu Yun in Xuelan Ancient City and even get his help, maybe just like Tu Yun said, the meeting between the two of us is to support each other, and it is a community in itself, but we have not been separated for a long time, from the first time I saw Tu Yun in the Wu family hall, I knew that Tu Yun was not a simple person.

Now he has helped me open the power of the bloodline, in my heart he is the only person I can trust, we gluttonous never easily believe in a person, nor easily recognize a person, but Tu Yun is a person who makes me trust and recognize! Maybe this is the sentence in Tu Yun's mouth that has its own providence in the dark!" Ye Feng recalled with a smile.
