In the "Book of Mountains and Seas" that Wei Zi read, there are several records about bluebirds:
There are several ladders for the Queen Mother of the West and a hoopoe. To the south are three blue birds that feed the Queen Mother of the West. They are in the virtual north of Kunlun.
There are three blue birds with red heads and black eyes. One is called the big pheasant, one is the little pheasant, and the other is called the blue bird.
This means: There are three bluebirds named Big Elephant, Little Elephant, and Bluebird. They live in the north of Kunlun Mountain. They are responsible for feeding the Queen Mother of the West.
How did Qingniao get involved with Yi?
Wei Zi asked again: "Is this 'Yi' the one who shot the sun?"
She asked why.
In the idiom "Hou Yi shoots the sun", although the protagonist is called "Hou Yi", the person who shoots the sun is called "Yi". The incident of shooting the sun happened in the period of Emperor Yao in the era of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
There was another person named "Hou Yi", who was the monarch of a poor country in the Xia Dynasty and was also good at archery. "Hou" was the title of the monarch of the Xia Dynasty. Hou Yi expelled the monarch of the Xia Dynasty and replaced him, becoming the sixth monarch of the Xia Dynasty.
Both of them are named "Yi", but they are not the same person.
Feng Danyuan replied to her: "It's Yi who shot the sun. Here is a short paragraph: Yi killed Chisel, in the east of Kunlun."
Wei Zi frowned.
The full version of the story is this:
In ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky, and the warrior Yi shot down nine of them. This is the well-known story of "Hou Yi shot down the sun." However, while Yi shot down the sun, he also did a little-known thing.
It was also recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
"Yi and Chisel Tooth fought in the field of Shouhua, and Yi shot him dead. In the east of Kunlun, Yi held a bow and arrow, and Chisel Tooth held a shield. They were called Ge."
Ten suns appeared in the sky, and several monsters appeared in the world to harm the people. One of them was Chisel Tooth. Chisel Tooth had long teeth as sharp as chisels and often preyed on the people. Yi and Chisel Tooth were outside Shouhua.
They met and after a fierce fight, Yi killed Chisel.
Feng Danyuan continued: "There is a paragraph after this sentence that seems to explain why Yi shot Chisel. However, I don't recognize most of these words."
Wei Zi thought for a moment and said: "This should be a very ancient version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Several passages about 'Yi' all happened in Kunlun Xu, although it remains to be discussed whether this 'Kunlun Xu' is Kunlun Mountain."
, but if we can unravel what is recorded in this version, there may be some new ideas. But——"
She pointed to the words above: "Do you know anyone who can read these words?"
Wei Zi has the memory of the ancient high priest Tianyu, and can understand the earliest writings in ancient times, and can even understand some of the knotted rope notes; but the writing on the parchment is later than Tianyu's time, so she has nothing to do with it.
clue.
Feng Danyuan said: "Yes, you know this person too."
"Eh?"
"Taoist Master Baopu." Feng Danyuan didn't give in.
"Taoist Master Baopu who 'doesn't compete with others.'" A voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
Feng Danyuan and Wei Zi turned their heads to look at the prince. The prince touched his nose uncomfortably: Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Even the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Chen are so similar now.
"If you are looking for Taoist Master Baopu, he will come to the palace in two days," the prince said.
"What's he doing in the palace?" Feng Danyuan was surprised. The Taoist Priest had Xianyun Yehe's temperament. He was able to get along with King Yan because of his mechanism skills, but he had nothing to do with the palace.
The prince quickly looked around to make sure there were no people on this floor, then sighed and said: "This matter... I am ashamed to say that my father has also begun to think about the art of immortality in the past two years.
Already."
Feng Danyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Which treacherous minister turned a deaf ear to the emperor?"
