Ancient things

"Buzhou Mountain?"

Wu Yu and Fei Yu looked at the highest mountain on the map.

Wei Yuan's eyes swept across the map and first landed on Xuanyuan Hill.

From Xuanyuan Hill, 480 miles to the southeast is Kunlun Mountain, where the Queen Mother of the West lives. 350 miles to the southeast is Liusha River, the prototype of the river where Sha Wujing lived in Journey to the West. From Liusha River, 1,170 miles to the southeast is Kunlun Hill.

And 420 miles from Buzhou Mountain to Xuanyuan Hill is Mi Mountain, where Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and feasted ghosts and gods.

420 miles northwest of Mi Mountain is Zhong Mountain, where the Dragon Holding the Candle rested temporarily.

And these famous mountains and rivers, which have a great presence in the mythology of Shenzhou, are all located on the central axis from Buzhou Mountain to Chaoge City. Not to mention the other mountains, just the connection between Buzhou Mountain, Xuanyuan, and Kunlun is hard not to give people a strange feeling.

Wei Yuan stroked his forehead and couldn't help but feel a little headache.

How did the ancestors of Chaoge City choose such a death-level copy?

There are so many fragments in Shanhaijing, so many, even if you choose blindly, you won't end up here.

Fei Yu murmured: "Buzhou Mountain."

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze, suppressed the sigh in his heart, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yes, Buzhou Mountain."

"In addition, the third place is also near Buzhou Mountain."

"840 miles northwest of Buzhou Mountain is Zhongshan, where Zhulong lives. The third person who must be kept away is him, Zhulong Zhu Jiuyin."

Fei Yu turned his head in astonishment and said: "Zhulong?"

He was a little suspicious, thought about it, and asked: "Lord Mountain God, isn't Zhulong a good god?"

Wei Yuan said: "He is not a good god, or it is difficult to define gods by the good and evil of people."

"The grievances between Zhu Jiuyin and the human race are really a bit long."

"If you are interested, I can talk about it a little, but this has to start from the water god Gonggong. Started to talk. "

Wei Yuan spoke calmly. Seeing that Fei Yu and Wu Yu seemed to be interested, he simply sat cross-legged on the rocks and stretched out his hand to point at the map. The location of Xuanyuan Hill on the map slowly lit up. He spoke gently and explained slowly: "The water god Gonggong is a human and a god. In a strict sense, he is a descendant of Emperor Yan, but there is a legend that he just borrowed his mother's body to be born as a human."

"At the end of Emperor Shaohao's era."

"The tribes of the world gathered at Xuanyuan Hill to choose the next leader of the world."

"The most powerful competitors are the descendants of Emperor Yan, the water god Gonggong, and..."

"Zhuanxu, the grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi."

......

Under the gaze of everyone, Gonggong stepped into Xuanyuan Hill calmly.

He saw his grandfather, Zhuanxu, the Emperor Xuanyuan who opened up the Central Plains. He retracted his gaze and calmly greeted officials and generals such as Changxian and Jinyun. He believed that with his military strength and achievements, he was enough to become the next generation of the emperor of the human race.

Zhuanxu was just a person who was obsessed with music and would create tunes according to the sound of eight dragons flying across the sky. Although there is a legend that Zhuanxu was born after his mother looked up at night and saw the Yaoguang Star piercing the moon like a rainbow, Gonggong did not care about these.

He only knew that he would be able to lead the human race to truly dominate the world.

But with the final decision, the smile on Gonggong's face was also gradually restrained.

Until the end, it disappeared completely.

He lost.

Lost to the seemingly quiet and gentle Zhuanxu.

Zhuanxu proclaimed himself emperor, and appointed Ju Mang as the wood lord, Zhu Rong as the fire lord, and Ju Long as the earth lord.

Gonggong, the water god, should have been one of his four ministers, but he could not accept this result. Even so, he could not make a scene at Xuanyuan Hill. The clan leader of the Rain Master Concubine clan pressed his shoulders to comfort him, but Gonggong still refused to accept it. He pointed at Emperor Xuanyuan in public, angrily accused Xuanyuan of favoring his grandson, and then rushed out of the holy land of the human race at that time.

Controlling the violent water flow, he only cared about running forward, and that direction was the southeast. He stepped heavily on Xuanyuan Hill and directly crushed the rocks, and Xunshui flowed out of the cracks. He roared angrily, swept across the sky and earth, threw the decorations on his gorgeous clothes in the air, and threw them to Yushan where the Queen Mother of the West was, and turned into a divine bird called Shengyu. When mortals saw it, their country would be flooded.

In a blink of an eye, it was thousands of miles away.

But the anger of the water god Gonggong not only did not subside, but became more intense, and he still went southeast.

So, where the angry water god passed, the 800-mile-wide Liusha River was born, and Taoshui was born in the Leyou Mountain; he threw down his jade pendant sword on the Kunlun Hill of Emperor Xuanyuan's second capital, and it fell in all directions, turning into the four rivers of the God Era, the Heshui, the Chishui, the Yangshui, and the Moshui, which flowed turbulently on the earth.

He passed by the Huaijiang Mountain, and the Qiushi Water broke out. He threw down his outer robe on the Taiqi Mountain and turned into the Guanshui of the God Era, and his jade-inlaid belt turned into a carp, which was a fish, but had the wings of a bird, and could fly between the West Sea and the East Sea, and cut through mountains. Where the rocks collapsed, there were rivers flowing. Until later, Gonggong, with his strong body naked, saw Buzhou Mountain blocking him.

The extremely angry water god didn't care and crashed into it directly.

This time he failed to create rivers, but knocked down the Buzhou Mountain, which was a giant pillar supporting the sky. In that era, humans and gods lived together, and there was a sky above the human world. When Buzhou Mountain fell, the sky fell heavily toward the northwest. People living in the northwest saw the sky collapse and the earth split.

That was the last scene they saw.

......

Wei Yuan raised his hand and turned it into a model with the flowing wind.

It was a cubic box. He let the lid of the box fall to one side. Wei Yuan pointed there and said, "This is the disaster of the sky falling. There are classics in later generations saying, 'The pillar of the sky is broken and the earth is broken, the sky is tilted to the northwest'. Originally in that era, the stars and all things were controlled by the gods."

"You see, now the pillar of the sky is falling, and part of the sky that originally covered the earth has fallen directly to the ground, which has also caused an area to be directly out of the control of the gods."

"There is an imbalance of yin and yang, no more wind, no more rain, no rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the lives have long been destroyed. Because the yin energy is too heavy, the ghosts of this world will gather there, so it is called the Nether City, or the Country without Sun, or the Nine Nethers."

Nine Nethers?

Fei Yu was stunned and said, "This... the power of a collision is so great?"

Wei Yuan said, "Yes..."

"Of course, the point is that none of the gods expected that he would be so crazy as to crash into Buzhou Mountain."

"So, Emperor Zhuanxu sent a god there."

"Let that god preside over the operation of the world outside the northwest sea, on Zhangwei Mountain north of Chishui. When he opened his eyes, the day of the Sunless City came. When he closed his eyes to rest, the entire Sunless City also came to night. His breath was a strong wind, and he could meet with other gods and ask for wind and rain."

"It is Zhulong Zhu Jiuyin. The name Zhu Jiuyin means 'the candle illuminates the nine dark places'."

"This is the origin of the legend of 'If the sun does not come, how can the candle dragon illuminate?', which is 'there is a dark country without sun in the northwest of the sky, and a dragon holds a candle to illuminate it'."

Fei Yu Wu Yu lost his mind because of such ancient myths.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and couldn't help wondering, "But doesn't this prove that Zhulong is a good god?"

Wei Yuan replied, "If it had been like this, as the great god guarding the Nine Netherworlds, Zhulong would naturally have a good relationship with the human race, but unfortunately, he has a son."

"Son?"

"Yes, Zhulong's son is called Gu. Like Zhulong, he is a natural god with a human face and a dragon body. It may be because Zhulong had merits for all things in the world at that time, and all living beings respected him and his son very much, so Gu's personality was extremely arrogant."

"In the end, he and the god Qin? with a human face and a beast body, killed Baojiang, another god who was in charge of the immortal medicine."

"Moreover, he was killed near Kunlun Mountain, the residence of the gods, and Zhu Jiuyin acquiesced to this."

Fei Yu and Wu Yu stopped talking.

Wei Yuan picked up a weed and said, "I told you about Gonggong before, I heard it from a friend. Well, how should I put it, he and Gonggong had a little bit of grudge, but I really saw what happened next."

"Have you heard of Yao?"

"What do you think of him?"

Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he jumped to this question. After hesitating for a while, he answered:

"He was the third of the Five Emperors. He was a very benevolent emperor, right?"

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, very benevolent. " "I only met him once. To be honest, he doesn't look like an emperor, just an old man, a little chubby, very concerned about his white hair, always smiling, addicted to sugar, after passing the throne to Emperor Shun, he occasionally likes to eat and drink, occasionally a little more frequently, that's the kind of person, and he has a good relationship with Zhu Jiuyin. " "But after knowing this matter..." Wei Yuan paused, opened his hands, and the weeds fell down, saying: "Emperor Yao personally killed Gu and Qin?. " Fei Yu and Wu Yu couldn't believe it. Wei Yuan said: "Moreover, bury Gu's body in the cliff east of Zhongshan, which is controlled by Zhu Jiuyin."

"Zhu Jiuyin has been outside the northwest side, presiding over all things in Jiuyou Youdu, and the body of his only son is on the high cliff in the east. You can see it by just looking back. Emperor Yao wants Zhu Jiuyin to remember forever what the consequences of violating the contract with all living beings and indulging his only son to do evil are. The emperor is ruthless, but he also loves all living beings."

"And since then, Emperor Yao and Zhu Jiuyin have parted ways."

"This is the allusion of 'Zhu Long avoided Yao Ri in Youdu'."

Wei Yuan paused:

He looked into the distance, his voice was gentle, but it seemed to penetrate the long and distant years, overlooking the past:

"And this also means that Zhu Long and the human race have severed their friendship, It means that the gods will eventually break with the human race. "

"Since then, Zhulong has lived in Youdu for a long time, while Emperor Yao walked in the world."

"They will never meet again in this life."

"After Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, he became more and more angry with the human race, and created many rivers along Buzhou Mountain for more than 3,000 miles. Later, the world was flooded and finally controlled by King Yu. Before this period of Zhulong's history, Emperor Zhuanxu hated the gods because Gonggong's willful behavior caused a large area of ​​people to suffer. He also made achievements in the end and was listed among the Five Emperors. "

"It can be said that every drink and every bite is a destiny..."

"Sometimes I always feel that the ending of the story has been determined at the beginning."

Fei Yu and Wu Yu were a little dazed.

Wu Yu subconsciously said: "How do you know so clearly..."

Wei Yuan came back to his senses and smiled: "I only know a little bit."

That is history.

But it is also my life.

The young Taoist spread his hands and said gently:

"Look, I am the mountain spirit of this mountain after all, so it is normal to know more."

"Right?"

With his back to the two, the corner of the young Taoist's mouth tilted downwards.

Why is it so clear...

Of course it is because Emperor Yao took Yu with him in this matter, and Yu excitedly went home and picked up Yuan's collar who was kneading pottery, and took him with him. The direct consequence was that Emperor Yao killed Zhu Jiuyin's only son and buried him on the cliff at the door of his house, which was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

'His son is called Gu, and his appearance is like a human face and a dragon body. He killed Baojiang with Qin? on the south of Kunlun. '

'The emperor killed him on the east cliff of Zhongshan. '

It was very unfortunate.

For Zhu Jiuyin, this behavior was no different from jumping in the face and slapping.

It was written by Wei.

As he kept recalling and remembering some details, Wei Yuan did not feel any surprise about the motives of King Yu later casting the Nine Cauldrons and splitting the mountains and seas. After all, an idol is Zhuanxu, the king of the human race who was personally trained by Emperor Yao after his retirement. His personality will be infinitely close to the previous two, or even more passionate.

But what is this mess...

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, looking towards Buzhou Mountain, that is, the direction of Zhongshan Mountain, with an impulse to ignore his demeanor and sigh to the sky.

Yu, please come back soon.

There are too many enemies and they are too cruel. I can't bear it alone.

Otherwise,

Or you can take me away.

......

When Wei Yuan looked into the distance, he missed Dayu every day.

Suddenly his expression moved slightly, and he looked up into the distance.

There was a complex and vast breath, surging.

Wei Yuan quickly recognized the identity of the visitor - one of the many mountain gods recorded in the Western Classic Mountain.

Strange, these mountain gods usually stay in their own mountains and don't go out easily. Could it be that they regard him as one of their own?

Wei Yuan stood up thoughtfully and looked in the direction where the energy was coming from.

The words of the mountain god.

It's a good opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the 'Western Mountain Classic Jade Book'.

So, the same vast aura of the mountain god rose from him.
