After hearing what I said, old Taoist priest Kurong did not rush to answer me, but looked at me, as if there was some deep meaning in his eyes.
"You are the rebirth of Yinggou, and you are also Yinggou. What do you think of what happened back then?" Old Taoist priest Kurong looked at me and asked.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
What happened back then?
I wasn't sure which years he was referring to, so I couldn't help but frown.
He is a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. He is over a hundred years old. In terms of seniority, he is several generations higher than the modern Celestial Masters.
Moreover, such a person, who has extremely profound cultivation, certainly has no interest in knowing about the trivial things that happened to me when I was a child.
He said I was Yinggou, and then he asked me a question. Was he asking me about what happened when I won Gou?
I smiled at him, then shook my head and said bluntly: "I don't know, I have no memory of that guy at all."
After hearing my words, the old Taoist priest Kurong was stunned for a moment, seemed to be relieved, nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that you are indeed an independent existence."
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
It seems that this old Taoist priest has been testing me, testing whether I have drawn a clear line between Ying Gou, or the remnant soul of Jian.
If Ying Gou's remnant soul is still in my body, what will he do?
As if sensing my vigilance, Old Master Kurong smiled again and said, "Don't get me wrong, Ying Gou and Na Hu's remnant soul have been entangled for a long time and have been affected too much, so I have to make sure it's you before I can rest assured.
"
I nodded. I knew what Kurong meant. He was not worried about Yinggou’s soul in my body, but worried about the remnant soul of Jian. After all, Yinggou and Jian’s remnant souls have been entangled for thousands of years and have not been able to get rid of them.
It is normal for old Taoist priest Ku Rong to worry about its control.
"What are you talking about back then?" I asked Kurong.
"That's why the Yellow Emperor sent Ying Gou to guard the underworld." Ku Rong said slowly.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I have no memory of Yinggou, so I certainly don’t know why Huangdi sent Yinggou to guard the underworld.
However, when I was fighting Xing Tian, the guy laughed at me as a dog under Huang Di, and made many accusations about Huang Di's character in his words.
Of course, Xing Tian was a general under Emperor Yan back then. Later, Emperor Yan's clan was annexed by Huang Emperor. As a general under Emperor Yan, he fought to the death with Huang Emperor. It was normal for him to resent Huang Emperor's death in his heart, so I didn't take his words seriously.
But at that time, the Yellow Emperor had many generals, and there were many who were more powerful than Yinggou. Why did he choose Yinggou to guard the underworld in the end?
"We have to start from the beginning. When the world was first divided, there were no humans at all in the world. It was gods and demons who were rampant. In the end, Nuwa kneaded earth to create humans, and humans became what we are today."
Old Taoist Kurong looked at me and said slowly.
I was also looking at him. Of course I had heard of this legend about the origin of mankind, and I didn’t know how many times I had heard it since I was a child.
I used to think this was just a legend, but now that I have become Ying Gou, I have also been to the underworld, and met Xing Tian, my understanding of this world has changed drastically.
Maybe those ancient legends are not just legends, but really exist.
But those things are too far away for me after all, because all I can hear are legends.
Now that the old Taoist priest Ku Rong suddenly mentioned these things, I was immediately interested. Could it be that he knew something?
"Nuwa kneaded earth to create humans, so there were humans in the world. However, the first humans were just slaves of the gods. They had no spiritual intelligence and only knew how to work according to the will of the gods.
After continuous reproduction from generation to generation, these people gradually gained spiritual wisdom, their own thinking, and their own understanding of the gods of heaven and earth.
There are even some gods who cannot control their desires and have offspring with humans. The offspring of these human-god hybrids have some of the abilities of gods, so they gradually have the consciousness to rebel against gods. They want to be their own masters, and
Huangdi is the leader of these people."
Looking at the eloquent old Taoist priest Ku Rong, I was filled with shock.
Of course I wouldn't think that this old Taoist priest came to talk to me in the middle of the night. What he said might be true.
Because in those myths and legends about ancient times, ancient humans did possess some heaven-defying abilities.
Even the Yellow Emperor is called the descendant of gods in many legends.
The legendary Yellow Emperor was "born as a god, weak but eloquent, young and arrogant, long and agile, and mature and wise."
Anyway, I have read a lot of legends about ancient times, but they are so confusing that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
"The Yellow Emperor unified the world and did not want people to be slaves to the gods anymore, so he ascended to heaven on a dragon and sat in the central sky of the nine heavens: Juntian, blocking the ancient gods and humans from the sky. From then on, humans and gods could be considered
A clear delivery was made.
Beyond the Nine Heavens is the territory of God, while this world is ruled by humans.
And those demons originated from the underworld, and Hades controls life and death in the world, so Huangdi and Yinggou fought against the underworld and drove the ancient demons and underworld out of the underworld, and the underworld was ruled by humans from then on."
Although the tone of the old Taoist priest Kurong's words did not have any ups and downs, listening to his words and thinking about the various feats performed by the Yellow Emperor back then, I couldn't help but feel excited.
He used his mortal body to pacify the world, and then completely drove away the gods, allowing humans to control their own destiny. Then he drove the monsters in the world to the underworld and conquered the underworld in the hands of the underworld.
How can such feats not make people's hearts swell?
I am the rebirth of Yinggou. Yinggou was a general under the Yellow Emperor. Of course, Yinggou also had a share in these feats.
Although I no longer have the memory of winning Gou, I can't help but feel excited at this moment.
As the founder of Chinese civilization, the Yellow Emperor was indeed an ambitious being, and he truly accomplished those things!
But although these deeds made my blood boil, he still didn't tell me why the Yellow Emperor chose Ying Gou to guard the underworld.
Seemingly seeing what I was thinking, Master Kurong smiled lightly, and then said: "Ying Gou was not the strongest in Huangdi's camp back then, but he was the most loyal to Huangdi, so Huangdi chose him.
Guard the underworld."
Having said this, the old Taoist priest Kurong smiled again and continued: "Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if you want to guard the passage to the underworld, you must use the Xuanyuan Sword, and apart from the Yellow Emperor
Besides, there is only one person in the world who can pick up that sword, Ying Gou~!"
