The fourteenth chapter, the ten cauldrons, the twelve chaos of mountains and seas

"He's dead?" Li Minghao's simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue that exploded in Shen Qing's ears. She took two steps back, but one of them didn't stand firm, and sat on the ground all of a sudden. Then the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing. "How is it possible? He can't die. Before he left, he had clearly agreed to me that he would come back properly. You must be deliberately lying to me, right?"

"I didn't lie to you. At that time, Xiao Jiujian's sword stabbed his senior brother. In order for Xiao Jiujian to not pose a threat to me, he detonated Dantian and Xiao Jiujian and died together." Li Minghao sighed lightly. Although he wanted to say that he was lying to her, things had already happened.

As soon as Li Minghao said this, Shen Qing cried even more violently. Shen Jun rolled his eyes and came to Shen Qing to help her up. While comforting her, he helped her into the bedroom.

I don’t know how long it took, but the crying in the bedroom finally stopped. Shen Jun pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom slowly.

After closing the door, Shen Jun walked to Li Minghao, his eyes were red, probably crying with Shen Qing for a while.

She pounded Li Minghao's chest twice and said softly: "Didn't you just make up a reason to fool her? After the days have grown, she gradually forgot about the Tang Dynasty. You are so good, just tell the truth. Do you know how much psychological trauma your truth has caused to my sister?"

Li Minghao scratched his head and said, "I don't know if your sister would have such a big reaction. What did my senior brother say to her before leaving? Could it be that the two of them have confirmed their relationship?" Although he felt that this guess was a bit outrageous, it seems that this is the only situation at the moment.

Shen Jun sighed: "You are right. After Tang Chao changed back to his original appearance, my sister confessed to her. Seeing that she looked happy when she came out, it must have been successful. Haven't your senior brother told you?"

Li Minghao shrugged and said, "I have been with him for a long time. He didn't mention this matter a word, even if he didn't tell me when he died. Either he didn't take this matter to heart, or he really wanted to hide it from me."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter now. I'll teach her slowly here. If she asks you the details later, just say something randomly. Don't say too much, otherwise she won't be able to think about it. Qing'er is asleep in the house, go and take a look."

"Okay." Li Minghao nodded slightly, turned around and went to see his son.

Just when the two met again, there were earth-shaking changes outside. After the land of the four continents around Middle Earth split into small islands, they were slowly spliced ​​together to form a quarter-quarter semicircle ring. Then the four semicircles slowly approached, and finally surrounded the Middle Earth continent to form a circle.

After the four continents became rings, the vibration stopped instantly and the earth returned to calm.

People thought the disaster had passed, so they walked out of underground bunkers or houses to celebrate the survival of the disaster. But what they could never imagine was that the earth was just a prelude, and the real movement had just begun.

Accompanied by a loud noise, a sheep-body face, eyes under her armpits, tiger-toothed and handed, a monster about twenty meters tall broke out of the ground. It opened its big mouth, and the sound of a baby came from its mouth.

When people saw this giant beast, they panicked and fled in all directions. They had never seen such a thing before, and it was even more impossible for them to know its name - Taotie.

Not only in one place, but similar situations have also occurred in other places. However, it was not Taotie that emerged from the soil, but other monsters with weird appearances, including as many as Taotie and even larger than it.

The most famous of these are the legendary 歌歌, which is collectively known as the four ancient ferocious beasts with Taotie, and the three monsters, Chaos and Qiongqi. There are also the two monsters that people often talk about, Yamata Orochi (Xiangliu) and Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox.

Taotie, "Zuo Zhuan·The Eighteenth Year of Wengong" says: "The Jinyun family has a man who is not talented, greedy for food and bribery, and the world is called Taotie." "Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of the Five Emperors" quoted this statement and added: "The world hates it, and compares with the three evils."

Legend has it that Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan fought against Chiyou, and Chiyou was beheaded, and his head fell to the ground and turned into Taotie. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Beishan Jing" says: "There are many jades on the mountain on the mountain and many copper on the bottom. There are beasts, which are like sheep's body and human faces, with their eyes under their armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and their sounds are like babies. It is called a deer owl, which is a human eater." According to Guo Pu's comment on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the Jin Dynasty, the deer owl mentioned here refers to Taotie. "The Shenyi Jing·The Classic of West Wilderness" says: "Taotie, the name of a beast, the body is like a cow, the face of a human, the eyes are inside the armpits, and the people eater."

The "Shenyi Jing·Western Wilderness Sutra" records: "In the Western Wilderness, there are animals, which look like tigers and dog hair, two feet long, with human face, tiger feet, pig mouth teeth, and tail length of one twelve feet. The Wilderness is disrupted by the Wilderness, and is called the Wilderness."

According to the 18th year of Wengong Wen of "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhuanxu had a man who was not talented and could not teach him a lesson. If he did not know how to speak, he would be stubborn. If he gave up, he would be arrogant and arrogant. He would be arrogant and ruthless, and to disrupt the world's constant. The people of the world were called "Zhuanwu." After his death, this evil man who could not teach him eventually evolved into a famous ancient monster.

Qiongqi, "The Sword and Fairy" says: "There is a beast in the northwest, which looks like a tiger and has wings to fly. It can suppress the cannibalism. It knows people's words. When people hear people fighting, they will eat straight food. When people hear people's loyalty and trustworthiness, they will eat their noses. When people hear people's evil deeds and bad behavior, they will kill animals to feed them. It is called Qiongqi."

"Shan Hai Jing·Xishan Jing" says: "(Qishan) there is an animal on it, which looks like a cow and has a stomach hair, and is called Qiongqi, and is pronounced like a dog, which is a cannibal."

"Shan Hai Jing·Hai Bei Jing" says: "Qiuqi looks like a tiger with wings. He eats people from the beginning, and his food is quilted, and he is in the north of the dog. One is called "Foot."

Chaos, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·The Three Classics of Xici" records: "There is a god, which looks like a yellow sac, red like a dan fire, six feet and four wings, and has no face. It is aware of singing and dancing, and it is actually the Emperor Jiang (the river is pronounced as Hong)."

"Shenyi Jing" says: "There is a beast in the west of Kunlun. Its shape is like a dog, with long hair, four feet, like a crotch (sound skin) but no claws, with eyes but no movement, and two ears but no hearing. Some people know nature, have a belly but no five internal organs, have straight intestines but no rotation, and eat through the way. People have virtues and go against it, and if they have bad virtues, they will rely on it. It is called Chaos."

The original name of the Yaqi Orochi Snake was Xiangliu. The "Godian Yuan Jing" records: "The minister of Gonggong was named Xiangyao. The nine-headed snake body was surrounded by itself and ate on the nine earths. The place where it was hidden was the source of the zodiac. It was not bitter or painful, and no one could live. Yu blew the flood and killed Xiangyao. Its bloody smell could not be produced in the valley. The land was full of water and could not live. Yu blew it, and three leap and three judging, so he thought it was a pond. Because the emperors thought it was a platform, north of Kunlun."

Later, it was said that Xiangliu was killed by Huangdi because of helping Gonggong to cause trouble, and then fled overseas and became the Yamata Orochi that people often call it.

It is also known there as Hamata Tora Yoshi and Hamata Tora Yoshi. It is a ferocious giant snake that can bring disasters. It has a terrifying appearance of eight heads and eight tails. It contains a legendary sword in its body. It ate the sisters of Kidaidada for seven years, but was finally killed by the hero Susano. Its tail contains a Tiancongyun sword.

Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, "Shan Hai Jing·Overseas East Classic": Qingqiu Kingdom is in its north, and its fox has four legs and nine tails. One is in the north of Chaoyang.

"Shan Hai Jing·Dahuang East Classic": There is a country of Qingqiu, a fox and nine tails.

"Shan Hai Jing·Nan Shan Jing": It is also three hundred miles east, and it is called the mountain in Qingqiu. Its yang is full of jade and its yin is full of green [Qing Zhu]. There are beasts, which are like foxes and nine tails, and their sound is like babies. They can eat people, but those who eat are not gu.

There are many rumors in later generations that the Nine-tailed Fox, like Xiangliu, fled overseas and hid.

The number of monsters recorded in the Mountains and Seas Classic is so complicated that I won’t explain them in detail here. I will slowly explain the important monsters to you later.

Back to the book, after these monsters appeared, the phone number that was specially handled was exploded. Basically, branches from various places came to report on some monsters that appeared in their jurisdiction.

Xiong Xiaoguang glanced at the monsters summarized above, and his eyelids were twitching wildly. Are these all the extinct monsters recorded in the Shanhai Sutra? Why did they all come out all of them all? Could it be that the mountain and sea map was really untied after being spliced?

Just as his mind was in a mess, someone patted his shoulder behind him. When he looked back, he found that Shen Wanshan couldn't help but run upstairs.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Grandpa Qi, why didn't you come with you?" Xiong Xiaoguang hurriedly helped Shen Wanshan to sit aside, then looked at the door and asked.

Shen Wanshan waved his hand and said, "Your Grandpa Qi is sleepy. Sleep for a while. I came up to see how your situation is going on."

Xiong Xiaoguang sighed and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to tell you, in this time, I have received reports from various places, all of which said that there were all kinds of monsters that I had never seen before in my jurisdiction. I took a general look and looked no different from those in the Shanhai Jing."

"Oh, you said that I have never done anything to get a brain-sucking job in my life, and I finally lived a peaceful life, but I was confused in a series of times. I am really old and useless." Shen Wanshan leaned on the back and sighed. Everything now is basically caused by his selfish intentions, so he is very guilty now.

Xiong Xiaoguang felt uncomfortable for a moment. He squeezed out a smile and said to Shen Wanshan: "Grandpa, you don't need to blame yourself. The things you did are for the sake of the good of Middle Earth and for the sake of doing it very well. You are not wrong, but there are too many people with ulterior motives, so we are all in."

"Thank you, and I'm still so comforting me. By the way, is there any information from the court coming?" Shen Wanshan felt a little better after hearing Xiong Xiaoguang's words.

Xiong Xiaoguang shook his head: "No, since the earthquake happened until now, no information has been sent from the court. I called Chang Qing. I don't know what the kid has sucked, and the phone has been busy."

"It's also difficult for the imperial court. Jiulong just started to cause trouble, and then something happened to the mountain and sea map. Five continents are in turmoil. Let's do this, send a car and I'll go to the palace to meet the holy."

"Grandpa, what do you want to do when you enter the palace? Could it be that you take all these things on yourself? I tell you, if you tell them to the truth, your fate will be even worse than death." Xiong Xiaoguang panicked. He knew that Chen Wanshan would only do that thing when he entered the palace, so he had to stop him as much as possible. Even if he couldn't stop it, he had to go with him.

Chen Wanshan waved his hand and said, "I'm not stupid. It doesn't matter if I die alone, but I'm still involved in the whole thing. I won't say it for you. I just want to ask the emperor what plans he has, after all, I can't keep being so confused."

"This...you can go, but you have to bring me with you, so I will be relieved!" Chen Wanshan's words could not eliminate Xiong Xiaoguang's concerns. After all, no one knows what he thought.

Chen Wanshan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "Xiaoguang, you can't go. Now it's time to do it. After you go, you will be in charge of the group of dragons without a leader. If something really happens, if you are not here, it will be dangerous."

"I..." Xiong Xiaoguang was speechless for a moment. Chen Wanshan was right. Compared with the huge and special procedures under their feet, he was simply insignificant.

"That's all." Chen Wanshan stood up and left.

Xiong Xiaoguang frowned and a tear fell from the corners of his eyes.

He wiped his tears and turned around and found that the people in the second department were secretly wiping their tears. Xiong Xiaoguang raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? I won't collect information? I tell you, if the information is inaccurate or there is a lack of it, I will punish you to run around the outer city of the Forbidden City for ten laps!"

After saying that, Xiong Xiaoguang left angrily to call a taxi for Chen Wanshan.

In the imperial city, the master seemed not to be affected by the previous earth movements. He kept looking at the ancient books he had just bought from Liulichang not long ago in the small bookstore. From time to time, he picked up the tea cup on the desk beside him and took a sip.

Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded outside, and then Chang Qing's voice came in from outside: "Master, the situation has been basically clarified now."

The master nodded slightly: "Come in."

"Here." Chang Qing bowed his hands outside and pushed the door down, turned around and closed the door, and came to the master and knelt on the ground.

"I'm kneeling all day long, why don't you kneel? Tell me what's going on?" The master raised his eyelids and looked at Chang Qing who was kneeling on the ground, frowned, a little unhappy.

"Here." Chang Qing stood up, cleaned up the dust on his clothes and stood on the left side of the master.

"I asked all the Xichang men and Jinyiwei secret lines from all over the world, and finally came to a conclusion."

"What conclusion?"

"Now we are experiencing changes in an era, or to be precise, we have now returned to the ancient mountain and sea era."

"What?!"
