Chapter 99 Someone who can guide Jiuli
As soon as he entered the cave, Feng Yun felt a frightening fishy wind blowing from inside the cave.
"This cave has been here for who knows how many years?"
The witch of the translator translated, and the two elders said: "It has been here for only a few decades, but the construction of this place started earlier than the Baiyue Palace."
Feng Yun understood from the second elder's words that this place was more important than the Baiyue Palace.
In other words, it is the foundation of the Qi family.
But this makes Feng Yun hesitate. Can he really go in?
Seeing this, the second elder praised: "Hey, you kid, you are different from us. If you have any taboos, what you can see is naturally what you can see. What you can't let me see is you."
Even if you call me daddy, I can't show it to you."
Feng Yun smiled upon hearing this, the old man was quite lively.
But it gave Feng Yun some kindness.
Baiyue people are simple and enthusiastic.
Different from the Zhou people's monarch's travel and etiquette system, the people here are more direct.
Comparing the two elders and the uncle, one is the spirit in the mountains and the other is the king in the clouds. Each has its own style and good nature.
At the same time, Feng Yun seemed to see the scene of the people in the mountains and wilds in his previous life.
He thought to himself: Perhaps only in this way, in a place that is not disturbed by the outside world, can its customs be preserved for thousands of years without deterioration.
When facing the King of Baiyue, Feng Yun could still see the arrogance of the political power in the King of Baiyue, but in the elder, he only saw the nature of the human heart.
In an instant, Feng Yun lost all restraint and strode out, following the second elder into the cave.
But he almost stumbled and fell due to the restraints on his body.
What a gift!
Feng Yun had no choice but to walk slowly.
"Second Elder, can you tell me the story of this cave? This cave is the ancestral hall of the Jiuli tribe?"
Feng Yun's words were translated, and the second elder smiled.
His laughter echoed throughout the cave, hearty and hearty.
"Well, I just chose this place when I had nothing to build."
"But don't say it, even if we are asked to move, us old people will not move. This house built next to the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is very comfortable."
After talking a lot of nonsense, the second elder returned to the topic.
"This cave is quite particular. Look at the murals on the stone walls on both sides. These murals are about our Jiuli people's experience of migrating from the north to the south. The reason why we prioritize building in the cave is because the stone walls are better than wooden boards.
A wall can last a long time."
As he spoke, the second elder had tears in his eyes.
"Our original Baiyue was in the current Yue Kingdom, and this is the place of Guai."
"Such a migration to our homeland is normal for our Jiuli tribe."
"You Yanhuang people, call me a barbarian... As long as we clear up wasteland in a desolate place, build a country, and cultivate food, when you see that this land has been sorted out and can be inhabited, you will start to attack us.
, expel us..."
Feng Yun was shocked when he heard the sound.
Na Na does not know the words.
Looking back on known history, ethnic minorities were indeed attacked and expelled to even more desolate places...
Feng Yun was still thinking. When the second elder saw Feng Yun's silence, he comforted him: "I am old and can see clearly. If I were young, I would not be so harmonious with you Zhou people."
"But, baby, this is just like hunting. If we win, we are the hunters, if we lose, we are the prey..."
"Haha, actually we don't like the Yanhuang tribe. If we can beat you, we will definitely fight back!"
"At that time, the murals in these caves were our way home!"
go home?
When Feng Yun heard this, he felt that he was being narrow-minded. Everyone has a position, and naturally the same goes for this tribe.
The bully and the bullied sometimes seem to be bullying for no reason, but in fact it is the law of the jungle.
Hunter and prey...
Feng Yun was in a daze. This may be the reason why Baiyue Country has rice but not all agriculture, and still goes to the mountains for hunting and fishing.
The Baiyue Kingdom honored Chi You, but his home in his heart was not here, but the place guided by the cave murals.
They may know that if someone comes to drive them away, and if they lose, this place will no longer belong to them.
At that time, how could they, who only knew how to farm, survive in the mountains and wilderness?
Rice cannot be grown in one day and requires an environment suitable for farming.
But hunting is different...
Feng Yun had previously thought of letting the Baiyue people farm all their crops and abandon the mountains and fields, but now, he rejected his idea.
Hunting in the mountains may be the foundation of their culture.
Feng Yun could not use the culture he learned in Da Ting to imitate Baiyue. He had to integrate it, use Jiuli culture as the foundation, and take the advantages of Zhou rites and make changes, otherwise he would destroy the Jiuli nation.
In other words, before Jiuli is destroyed, he will be destroyed by Jiuli.
"Alas..."
"Dong...dong...dong..."
In the cave, the second elder stood tall. He found a bamboo tube in his hand. It seemed to be a musical instrument. He was hitting it with a stick. Then, his singing echoed in the cave.
"Let's look at ancient times...which one was born earliest? Which one is considered the oldest? He came to open the sky, and he came to create the earth..."
Five-character songs intertwined...
Its voice was loud and loud, and Feng Yun felt as if he was on a high mountain. Looking at the mountains ahead, his voice vibrated, and there was a faint Taoist rhyme to it.
The second elder is a stranger!
He was using Jiuli Song to help Feng Yun understand the meaning of these murals.
The translator wizard on the side stopped talking and let Feng Yun realize it on his own.
With Qingsi's help, Feng Yun understood the meaning of these songs, or he understood them better than the second elder who sang them.
Following the Jiuli song, Feng Yun watched the murals and responded to them while following the second elder into the depths of the cave.
After a long time, the song is finished.
Only then did the second elder stop.
The translator explained: "This is one of Jiuli's ancient songs, the chapter that created the world. There are four songs in this chapter."
Creation of heaven and earth…
This was not a record of Chi You's time, Feng Yun immediately asked.
The second elder smiled and said: "Chiyou is our first ancestor, and before that, we Jiuli also existed, but at that time there was no tribe, people were the same."
It seemed that the second elder was also confused by the story, but after listening to it for so many years, he had already understood it. He said: "Just listen with awe. The story here is the story of God. We are mortals and cannot listen."
got it."
Indeed... After Feng Yun heard this, he also felt that this day was strange and strange. This day was opened by a giant holding a giant axe, that is, Pangu, but it was very different from the myths he had heard in his previous life.
There are many inexplicable gods interspersed in it, which is very confusing.
There is no record of this in the history of Da Ting.
In other words, this is a period that is older than the history of Da Ting...
Before Nuwa Fuxi, before Suirenshi?
This was completely beyond Feng Yun's cognition.
Feng Yun was a little confused and had to stop and calm down.
The second elder laughed loudly.
"Baby, you have to listen to what the old man says, hahaha..."
While laughing, the second elder gently tapped the bamboo tube in his hand, making a sweet sound of "dong-dong-dong", and Feng Yun's chaotic mind gradually soothed.
"Ah, you can only listen to this one today. There are four songs in the chapter on the creation of the world, and then there are the maple chapter, the butterfly chapter, the flood chapter, and the trekking through mountains and rivers... Each chapter has several songs, and there are ten songs.
Nine songs."
Feng Yun was speechless when he heard the sound.
"Do Jiuli have so many ancient songs?"
After hearing this, the second elder smiled and said, "It's more than that."
"There are four major surnames in Jiuli, five major sects, and I don't know how many other tribes there are. Later, there are branches among different sects, and they are intertwined and gathered together. Our Baiyue is just one of them, but there are also many tribes gathered together.
Last name."
"But our Zhiqi family mainly sings these songs. If you go to other places, you can hear different songs."
"But the content is pretty much the same."
The bamboo musical instrument in the second elder's hand turned into spiritual light and disappeared.
The weapon of destiny!
These two elders did not have a strong aura, but they had their own weapons, which surprised Feng Yun.
But it can also be seen that the second elder is a knowledgeable person, otherwise he would not be able to understand the weapon.
"That's how it is."
Feng Yun nodded, what he heard today was enough to record for some time.
Looking deep into the cave, Feng Yun sighed, no place should be underestimated.
The second elder scanned the murals on the stone wall and slowly said: "Legend has it that Chi Youzu also understood the principles from these murals and gained the power of Nuwa, which led us Jiuli to become stronger..."
Feng Yun heard about Nuwa, but what the second elder said meant Mother Butterfly. The difference in language was explained by Qingsi...
The second elder continued: "After Chi Youzu died, he told us that his soul would always protect our Jiuli clan."
"As long as we worship Chi Youzu, we can be given the power of Jiuli..."
"It's a pity...the descendants are so immoral that they haven't awakened Chi Youzu for a long time."
Saying this, the second elder burst into tears.
"I haven't seen it since I was born."
Feng Yun was puzzled.
"Why, is it because the sacrifices are not popular?"
The second elder shook his head and sighed: "Only Nuwa or a witch can awaken Chi Youzu!"
Nuwa clan...
Feng Yun wanted to tell her, but Nuwa's family was hiding in the mountains and fields, using An Wei as a cover, so he didn't want to tell anyone.
Then he turned to ask: "What is a witch?"
"Ah, curse witch, do you know Feng Bo and Rain Master?"
Feng Bo, Rain Master, Feng Yun knew clearly. This was Chi You's magician during the battle between Yellow Emperor Yan Emperor and Chi You. He controlled the wind and rain, leaving Emperor Yan and Huang Emperor helpless. Later, with the help of Drought Demon, he defeated Chi You.
"Master Feng Boyu is Jiuli's curse witch."
"Chu is one of the four major surnames and the five major sects of Jiuli."
Feng Yun went down and asked: "What are the four major surnames and the five major sects?"
The second elder casually said: "Cu, Tu, Li and Chi are the four major surnames."
"The Curse, Tu, Li, Chi, and Nuwa clans are the five major sects."
"Our Baiyue Kingdom is headed by the Li family."
"Li is a common surname, representing the eighty-one brother clans of Chi You's ancestors; although Qi is not a clan, it means a strong and brave person, and he is a good warrior clan in Chi You's tribe!"
Feng Yun nodded, took out the thin animal hide and wooden board, and started recording.
The second elder smiled and looked at Feng Yun's words.
He said: "Well, we in Jiuliyuan also have writing."
"Ah?" Jiuli has words?
Feng Yun was puzzled.
The second elder said: "Jiuli's writing is a curse, and it is controlled by a curse."
"It's a pity that the witches can't do it. The curses can also be separated and separated. Those witch doctors may know a little bit, but they don't have a system..."
The second elder no longer looked at Zhou Wen, but just sat aside and sighed secretly.
He may be thinking about Baiyue's life, or the changes from Jiuli to Sanmiao, and now...
Words without a system cannot be widely disseminated and can only be used as a symbol or totem at most.
"When can we give birth to a baby and awaken our ancestor Chi You?"
The second elder was still sighing.
It's not easy to disturb Feng Yun.
The translator Wu Lai Feng Yun explained beside him.
"It is said that the person who can awaken Chiyou's ancestral soul can bring guidance to Jiuli."
"Every twelve years we hold the Drum Tibetan Festival, where we kill cows for sacrifice and let the newly born children try to awaken the ancestors. However, after the disappearance of the Nuwa family priest, we have not succeeded so far."
After hearing this, Feng Yun wrote "Gu Zang Festival" on the animal skin again.
"Huh..." I remember enough today.
Feng Yun saw that the second elder was also tired and was not in a hurry.
But he still had a question in his mind: "Elder, I wonder if Baiyue can still worship Nuwa?"
The second elder frowned when he heard the sound and sighed slightly: "The Nuwa family is gone, and the Yi family has no witches who can communicate with Nuwa, so there is no way to worship Nuwa anymore."
After asking, Feng Yun stood up and thanked him.
"Hey, it's my pleasure to talk to the juniors about these things." The second elder laughed.
"You, come back tomorrow, and I will sing the following ancient songs to you, so that you can see how big I am, Jiuli!"
At this time, I heard a sound coming from outside——
"Then why is Fengjun really here?"
It's the voice of the leopard.
Feng Yun frowned slightly, while the second elder raised his eyebrows and asked the translator.
"Who is Fengjun?"
The translator witch hurriedly told the story that Feng Yun was from the country of Da Ting. He was sent as an envoy to the country of Yue and controlled the floods in the country of Yue. He was called Lord Feng by the Yue people. Later he returned to the country of Dading. When the country of Yue attacked, Feng Yun killed Yue Jun Yunchang in anger.
come out.
"What, he is the one who controls the water!"
"Oh, you killed the ungrateful king of Yue?"
The translator witch hurriedly explained: "It's Yue Jun Yunchang, the... son with no virtue."
"Even if the old one dies, killing the young one will make people happy!"
"Without any children or grandchildren, what will happen to the Yue Kingdom?" The second elder has not paid much attention to the state affairs of Baiyue since he came to live in seclusion in San Cave. The stories spread by Feng Yun among the Baiyue people have become more and more mysterious, making the second elder not convinced.
stand up.
He was so surprised when Feng Yun was present.
"The Yue Kingdom is divided, and many places that were conquered before are beginning to stand on their own..." The translator witch informed the second elder of what he knew.
"Split!"
Baiyue was split from Yue.
"Where are the people in Ai Guona?"
When the two elders were in their prime, when Baiyue was divided, they were facing off against the Ai State, and there were a lot of grudges at that time.
At this time, the country of Yue was divided in many places. If the country of Ai was also divided, it would be different for Baiyue.
"There is no split yet, but there are already signs..."
Over there, the second elder was still asking about the translation witch.
Here, Jibao came in with a group of Baiyue Han, and he saw Feng Yun at a glance.
"You Fengjun, my father asked you to wander around, but you ended up wandering here. This is a forbidden area in Baiyue, get out quickly!"
The leopard had a fierce arrogance, but it was protected by several Baiyue men in front of it, as if it was afraid of Feng Yun's anger.
Then he said harmoniously: "You are a gentleman. I am trying to reason with you. If you want to govern Baiyue, do you think you have to see what is in our forbidden land?"
He wants to stop Feng Yun, but he is being reasonable, which is really funny.
At least the second elder laughed out loud after seeing Gebao's temperament.
"You leopard boy, your second master let him in, what's wrong, you want to kick me out too?"
How dare Gebao? The elders living next to the cave, even his father, didn't dare to move.
"Second Master..."
"He is from Zhou, how can he come here?"
"Don't worry, little kid, you know nothing."
The second elder stood up and patted his body from the dust and sand stained in the cave.
He said to Feng Yun: "I will sing to you tomorrow. Let's go back today."
After the translator witch translated it, Feng Yun said: "Thank you so much, elder."
Looking at the stone walls on the left and right, Feng Yun asked: "I wonder if I can let Yun stay here and paint and record a mural?"
These murals are full of myths, beliefs, customs, and daily life of Jiuli people...
Only by writing down these can we have a glimpse of Jiuli culture and formulate appropriate national policies for Baiyue.
Of course, this is also part of Feng Yun's "Records of Nations".
The leopard laughed out loud.
Before he could speak, the second elder frowned and said, "This..."
