Tian Gang Chapter 220 Witch (2)
Witch? The old Taoist frowned and repeated it again, then looked at the old man from Yuanling: What's going on?
The old man from Yuanling had a gloomy face. He turned his head to look at the huge shadow thousands of meters high in the distance. A hint of fear appeared on his face, and his tone was full of disbelief: it was an ancient witch, a witch with an unimaginable origin.
Senior! The old Taoist took a step forward and said in a low voice: Speak clearly!
The old man from Yuanling seemed to be frightened by the Taoist's voice, and his body shook violently. He turned his head with a complicated expression, then turned back to look at the huge phantom with a human head and a snake body, and began to narrate the incredible events that happened to him after he left Kunlun.
He said: After making an agreement with you, we will head all the way to the east of Kunlun, because the fluctuations of witchcraft came from there.
After descending the Kunlun Mountains and flying for hundreds of miles, we finally found the source of the fluctuations. At first, we saw a corpse. It was very big...
The old man from Yuanling looked at the phantom, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "The corpse was piled up there in the distance, like a mountain. Compared with it, we are like ants." The stench was unbearable. If I hadn't seen a figure swaying in front of the corpse, I would never have gone over there .
You should understand that Kunlun Mountain is too strange, and it is very different from what we imagined. Who wouldn't be scared when seeing a corpse that is several hundred meters high? I didn't want to go at that time because I thought it would be very dangerous, but the two of them were too persistent and had to find the original source of the witchcraft fluctuations.
There was no choice but for Zaguyi and I to continue following them until we got close to the body.
When I got closer, I realized that the corpse was actually a half-rotten monster, with a human head and a thick snake body under the neck.
Could it be Nuwa? I was horrified and couldn't help but scream.
The old man from Yuanling looked at me and shook his head: I thought so at first, but I always thought it was impossible. Nuwa created humans to repair the sky. With such great power, how could she end up with a half-rotten body in Kunlun Mountain? Moreover, from the appearance, although the monster looked a little charming, it still had a male face.
Maybe that is... the old Taoist hesitated and spoke.
I think so too, maybe that is the so-called 窫窩尸. The old man from Yuanling nodded: Although there is such a legend, I am not completely sure, because the body is half decayed, who knows what will happen?
What is 窫窳? I asked the old Taoist priest in a low voice, I really don’t know which two characters the pinyin of yàyǔ is.
The old Taoist looked at the huge shadow in the distance with gray and black air entangled, and replied to me in the same low voice: According to ancient legends, there was a god named Erfu, and he had a minister named Wei. Erfu and Wei conspired to kill the god Yuyu...
I know, I've seen this, it's in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I said this, feeling a little proud in my heart, finally there is something I have heard of.
The old Taoist ignored me and continued: "Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven ordered the six great doctors among the ancient witches, Wu Peng, Wu Di, Wu Yang, Wu Lu, Wu Fan, and Wu Xiang, to take the elixir of immortality and bring the body of Zuo Yu down to Kunlun. Because Zuo Yu should not die, the six witch doctors had to use the elixir of immortality to drive away the dead air and revive Zuo Yu again."
So is he resurrected? I asked.
Resurrected. The old Taoist nodded and said: But it changed from a human head to a dragon head, and its temperament changed drastically. Not only did it like to eat people, but it also caused chaos with Dafeng and Jiuying when ten suns appeared, so it was later chased and killed by the god Houyi.
I was stunned, and I felt something was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, why did this smell like a conspiracy?
The old man from Yuanling did not continue speaking, but waited for the Taoist to finish speaking.
The old Taoist took a deep breath, trying to push away the repressed things in his heart, and said: Erfu is the same as Shuoyu, both have human heads and snake bodies. Among the oldest gods, Fuxi and Nuwa are also like this. The ancient books left by my Five Elements Pulse mentioned that this is a branch of the ancient gods. Why did Erfu kill Shuoyu? The ancient books of our ancestors also raised doubts, because Wei, who conspired with Erfu, was given a lighter sentence and expelled from Kunlun Mountain. Instead of being killed, Erfu, the god, was killed by the Emperor of Heaven. The time is too long, and no one can go back to the ancient past to find out what happened at that time.
I couldn't help but frown. Maybe I learned this from the Taoist priest, or maybe it was just a human instinct when confused. I thought about it and couldn't help but ask: The minister didn't die, but the master did. Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven wanted to destroy this line?
There is indeed such doubt. The old Taoist nodded: But the gods are too far away from us, and doubts are just speculations. What is puzzling is that ancient books record that Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty found a strange man in Shushu Mountain. Naked, his hands were tied behind his back with his hair, and one foot was chained with an iron chain. No one knows who this is. Liu Xiang, the doctor of remonstrance, told the story of Wei, a treacherous minister, who plotted to murder Shu Yu. He also said that the Emperor of Heaven tied Wei up and locked him in Shushu Mountain.
Liu Xun thought that he was misleading people with his lies, so he put Liu Xiang in jail. Liu Xiang's son Liu Xin said to save his father: "Give him the milk of a seven-year-old girl and he will be resurrected." Emperor Liu Xun ordered the girl to feed the strange man with her breasts, and he was really resurrected and could speak and respond in the same way as Liu Xiang said. Liu Xun was very happy, so he appointed Liu Xiang as a senior official and gave Liu Xin the title of Zongzheng.
Wei is resurrected... This is really amazing news.
The old Taoist looked at the huge phantom that seemed to be Zuo Yu and said: If the records in the ancient books are true, then Wei, who conspired to kill Zuo Yu, did escape and was resurrected again two thousand years ago by chance. Zuo Yu's death would have been a great injustice.
I was shocked and shook my head, because many people think that the ancients were ignorant, and even the gods were just uncivilized savages who were deified. But if what the Taoist said was true, it means that the ancient mythological world we know is superficial and messy.
Even a fool could see the trick behind the death of Yuyu. The first person who killed him was Wei, and according to the records, Wei was obviously not a monster like Erfu, but more like a human.
Who killed Yuyu the second time?
Houyi!
A famous hero of humanity!
What is the Emperor of Heaven? He is also a human, but the one on Kunlun Mountain is a god. Compared with humans, the so-called gods are monsters. The Emperor of Heaven is said to be Xuanyuan, who expanded the territory. Isn't it normal for this person to start shuffling the cards after climbing Kunlun Mountain after killing all the enemies on all sides?
Killing people as soon as they come to power is a necessary skill for all emperors.
Kunlun Mountain was lifeless, and even the huge rare birds were reduced to bones. Was this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
I suddenly felt that perhaps the decline of mythology was due to the struggle between humans and gods, and humans obviously won.
This is a bit like a movie, where humans always win. But what about those who follow Xuanyuan? Perhaps the period when the mythological era ended and the immortal era began was the time when Xuanyuan's people were active.
Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river, myths have become gods, and the change of a simple word may contain countless bloody storms. These are all unimaginable to us today.
I suddenly felt dazed and couldn't help looking at the Kunlun Mountains on the right side of the shadow. What secrets did that sacred mountain, towering into the clouds and reaching the end of the sky, hide?
But then again, the Taoist's sigh was obviously off topic. The old man from Yuanling seemed to be very concerned about Yu Yu's matter and did not interrupt him. And the more the Taoist talked, the more complicated his expression became.
When the old Taoist stopped talking, the old man from Yuanling lowered his head slightly, as if thinking. After a while, he continued: Whether it is Zuo Zuo or not, it still needs to be verified. After all, according to legend, Zuo Zuo was resurrected as a dragon head and a snake body, and was shot and killed by Hou Yi. Now, it is hard to say who this one is, maybe...
He shook his head and did not continue to dwell on this topic, but continued: We got closer and saw clearly that there were two people standing in front of the body. You both have seen those two people.
I couldn't help but say "oh", of course, in a questioning tone.
The old Taoist priest and I have met many people, but there are not many who followed us into Kunlun. Judging from the tone of the old man Yuanling, it seems that we are acquaintances.
Could it be Tao Tiansong? I was shocked because this guess was too shocking.
I had previously speculated that the evil cult was the only one, and now that the cult has ascended to immortality, the blood and corpses of immortals have fallen from the sky. I thought Tao Tiansong was dead, but is he still alive?
It was an old man and a woman. The old man from Yuanling seemed to be giving a hint.
There was a sudden buzzing sensation in my head, not as if it was going to explode, but as if I was going to pass out.
An old man and a woman, I and the Taoist have both seen them before, could it be...
The reason you two didn't find them when you returned to Nanjing was because you didn't expect him to set you up. But now, you probably couldn't have imagined that these two people would enter Kunlun and stand in front of the corpse, said the old man from Yuanling.
It was really them! I was so shocked that I was speechless.
Yes! That's right! I should have thought of it when those strange machines appeared and made everyone's power dissipate. There is no ordinary person in the world who is more familiar with cultivators than Mr. Liao. Only this scientist who can detect stone beasts and monitor the energy of the entire Chinese region has this ability!
But I didn't expect that he would dare to come to Kunlun, and with...
I couldn't help but think of that gentle woman who was as gentle as the spring breeze. She was very beautiful, but not like my father, who was like a fairy from the mortal world. There was a feeling about her that made me want to get close to her.
I used to think that I hoped she wouldn’t be a bad person like Mr. Liao, otherwise it would be too depressing.
But now it seems that she is also a liar. From beginning to end, from end to toe, I was deceived by her.
They want to... I asked with a frown.
The old man from Yuanling said in a deep voice: There is still the scent of the immortality medicine in Yuyu's body, and they want to take it out.
Elixir of immortality... I opened my mouth wide: Ancient witch doctor... the fluctuation of witchcraft...
It came from that woman. The old man from Yuanling said in a calm voice: It comes from the ancient times, the purest witch power.
