Although I am closely related to Yinggou, I have never experienced that era full of myths.
So when I saw this scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel excited.
The man in front of me is actually Hou Yi, and he is currently performing a unique feat, shooting the sun!
During the reign of Emperor Yao, ten days fell from heaven, scorching the earth, and the people were in dire straits.
There was a warrior Hou Yi, holding a magic bow in his hand, who shot at the sun and shot down nine suns in the sky to save the world.
I have heard this story since I was a child, and now I actually saw it with my own eyes.
Although it is a little different from the one in the legend, that person is Hou Yi, and at this time he is preparing to shoot down the sun in the sky.
Hou Yi, who was pulling the bow like a full moon, looked up at the sky. The next moment, he released his fingers from pulling the string.
Whoosh!
The golden arrows left the bowstring and flew into the air.
It's just that the speed of the golden feather arrow was too fast, leaving only a golden light in the air and disappearing again.
Everyone on the ground raised their heads, ignoring the scorching sun, looking at the sky as if expecting something to happen.
It's just that a long time has passed and there is still no movement.
But Hou Yi, who was standing in front of the altar at this time, was not anxious at all, but looked at the sky calmly.
This scene reminds me of a sentence in a certain movie: Let the bullets fly for a while.
Hou Yi shot his arrow, and the target was the sun in the sky. At this time, he was waiting for the arrow to fly out and hit the target.
"boom!"
The next moment, as everyone was anxiously anticipating it, a sun in the sky suddenly gave off a dazzling light.
Then the sun hanging high in the sky exploded.
All of a sudden, countless beauties scattered in the sky and turned into terrifying fireballs, scattering and falling into the distance of the wilderness.
That arrow really hit the sun and exploded it directly.
Although I already knew the result, I still couldn't speak for a long time after seeing this shocking scene.
It turns out that someone really can shoot down the sun from the sky.
I turned my head to look at Hou Yi standing in front of the altar, and couldn't help but narrow my eyes.
He is very powerful, this is undeniable, and he carries a trace of divinity from ancient times. He is Hou Yi, the God of War of Emperor Yao, so he is naturally extremely powerful.
But I know that this is not enough.
Although he is powerful, his strength still cannot support him from shooting down the sun from the sky.
And the reason why he was able to succeed now was entirely because of the golden bow and arrow in his hand, which was the bow and arrow of the woman who had been covering her face with her sleeves.
Without this bow and arrow, Hou Yi would never have been able to hit the sun in the sky.
At this time, I was even more curious about the identity of that woman.
The bow and arrow she transformed into with her own body were able to shoot down the sun from the sky.
The woman was dragged here and placed on the altar, like a kind of sacrifice, a sacrifice completed with the woman's life.
I can see that the mysterious woman is very powerful. Her power makes her strong enough to easily kill those who tie her up.
Even Hou Yi who shot the sun was not as powerful as her.
However, the woman did not resist or even struggle from beginning to end. She was dragged to the altar and exposed to the scorching sun for several days, and finally turned her body into the bow and arrow that shot the sun.
Therefore, it is not Hou Yi who is powerful, but this bow and arrow.
Seeing the sun in the sky explode with an arrow, the people in front of the altar burst into excited shouts.
These people had despaired under the scorching heat of the ten suns, but now they finally saw hope again.
Hou Yi reached out, picked up another arrow, put it on the bowstring again, and then drew the big golden bow again.
Another arrow shot into the sky, and soon after, another sun was shot directly.
In this way, Hou Yi in front of the altar kept shooting arrow after arrow into the air until all nine arrows were shot.
At this time, there was only one sun left in the sky.
The wasteland was filled with billowing smoke and raging fires, which were caused by the sun falling on the ground after being exploded.
Unknown how many people and livestock died in the raging fire, but the people in front of the altar still waved their hands and kept reveling.
Because there was only one sun left in the sky, they had hope of living. As for those who died, it was just the price they paid for the hope of this life.
Compared to complete extinction, this result is enough to make them excited.
At this time, Hou Yi completed the feat of shooting the sun, put the bow and arrow in his hand on the altar again with a pious look, and bowed deeply.
At this time, countless cheering people also stopped cheering, and then all knelt on the ground, kowtowing devoutly to the altar.
The big golden bow was placed on the altar, and after a moment, it turned into a golden light.
As the golden light disappeared, a white skeleton was revealed on the altar.
The white bones were lying quietly on the altar, but the strange thing was that the position of its chest was a little abnormal.
Because a lot of the ribs there are missing.
I counted carefully and found that there were nine missing ribs in total.
Seeing this, I completely understood that the nine golden arrows that shot down the sun were actually made from the ribs of this skeleton.
And that big golden bow is this skeleton, and this skeleton is that of the woman who always covered her face with her sleeves.
She was put on an altar and exposed to the scorching sun for several days, and finally turned into a bow and arrow that shot away the sun.
At this time, the people under the altar stood up. They lined up in a long line, walked to the altar one by one, picked up soil clods on the ground, and threw them on the bones. This seemed to be some kind of ritual.
Not long after, more and more clods of soil were thrown onto the altar, completely burying the skeleton underneath.
I watched the scene in front of me quietly, with too much confusion in my heart.
This is the scene in the ancient legend of Hou Yi shooting the sun, but it is obviously very different from what I know.
Legend has it that there was chaos in the sky for ten days. The hero Hou Yi stepped forward and shot out the sun in the sky, thus solving the crisis.
According to myths and legends, Hou Yi did all these things with his own strength, and he was the most powerful god of war during the Emperor Yao period.
Not only did he shoot out the nine suns in the sky, but he also eradicated six evils: 茰貐, chisel teeth, nine infants, gale, seals, and repair snakes. He also defeated the Yellow River Shui Bo who was causing trouble and rescued the Luo Shen.
Hou Yi was powerful enough, but this power still could not allow him to shoot out the sun in the sky, so I have always had a question, how did Hou Yi do it.
You must know that Yinggou was a general under the Yellow Emperor during the Yellow Emperor's period. He was even stronger than Hou Yi, and in terms of seniority, he was definitely Hou Yi's predecessor.
I gained the power of winning the hook. Although it is very powerful, trying to achieve such a feat as shooting the sun is nothing more than a dream.
I didn't know until today that the fundamental reason why Hou Yi succeeded was because of that bow and nine arrows.
The bow was made by that woman, and the nine arrows were hers, just like her ribs.
Who is that woman?
"Do you really not remember me?"
At this moment, the picture in front of me began to become blurry, the thick fog reappeared in front of me, and a voice sounded on my alarm clock.
Hearing this voice, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I swallowed hard, and then asked: "Is that woman you?"
"Of course it's me. It was you who persuaded me to do this. I will listen to you in everything." The woman's voice sounded again.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It turned out that the reason why women were put on the altar was because they won the hook.
It was Ying Gou who asked her to do that!
Could it be that she wants to seek revenge from me today?
"You...who are you?" I couldn't help the doubts in my heart anymore and asked her.
"I am an ugly woman, have you remembered?" Her voice sounded again.
"Ugly woman?" I recited the name silently in my mind, and then fell into deep thought.
The next moment, we raised our heads and gasped involuntarily.
It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas: The body of a female ugly body is burned and killed for ten days. It is placed to the north of her husband and her right hand is used to cover her face. For ten days, the female ugly body lives on top of the mountain.
