Chapter 1588: Is "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" True or False?
Although Taoist priest Baopu is old, he still does things neatly.
Changsheng also proved with his strength that over the years he has grown not only in terms of food intake and body fat, but also in terms of magic skills.
Two days later, when Feng Danyuan and Wei Zi entered the palace, the master and apprentice handed over two satisfactory answer sheets to them.
"It's done, the emperor's palace is clean!"
"This is the translated Classic of Mountains and Seas." When Taoist Master Baopu handed a thin booklet to Feng Danyuan and Wei Zi, he couldn't help but add: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas recorded on the parchment is also the first one written by Pindao.
Once seen.”
Feng Danyuan and Wei Zi watched it on the spot, and the more they watched, the more surprised they became.
Regarding the legend of Yi, what was recorded on the parchments was completely different from what they had read before.
Yi's messengers not only had three blue birds, but also many strange beasts from Kunlun Ruins.
Yi's purpose of shooting the sun is no longer for the common people in the world, but another story.
The Yi recorded in the parchments was a careerist.
At that time, the ladder connecting the divine world and the human world in Kunlun Ruins had not yet been destroyed. Yi and his tribe wanted to attack the ladder and occupy the divine world.
The God Realm sent Chisel Teeth and other mythical beasts, as well as the ten suns, in an attempt to destroy the tribal alliance headed by Yi.
Unexpectedly, Yi was so brave that he not only shot Chiseltooth and other mythical beasts, but also shot down nine suns.
Yi's wife Chang'e did not want to join in the evil deeds and was afraid of being held accountable by the gods, so she secretly took the immortality elixir that Yi had obtained from the gods and flew to the moon to Guanghan Palace.
After reading it, Feng Danyuan and Wei Zi looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: Real or fake?
Taoist Master Baopu expressed his opinion: "Whether it is true or false, I have nothing to say."
Wei Zi said: "This seems to be just one volume of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There should be other volumes."
Taoist priest Baopu said: "That's true."
Changsheng, who was holding a jar and eating preserves, interjected: "I think this volume of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true."
Feng Danyuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me and listen."
Changsheng said: "This book of "The Book of Mountains and Seas" is better written than the ones on the market! Hou Yi shot down the sun because ten suns came out to play naughtily and caused a severe drought in the world, so Hou Yi shot down the sun. So many suns were shot down.
childish."
"Yi is the big villain. The ten suns wanted to destroy Yi for the sake of justice, but he was killed by Yi. This is a wonderful story!"
Wei Zi's blocked thoughts suddenly became clear.
As Chang Sheng said, the traditional "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a patchwork of various fragments, and some fragments even contradict themselves. Later research can only give a rough glimpse, and most of the parts between the fragments are completed by association with other documents.
rather than from the records in "Shan Hai Jing" itself.
In comparison, the parts recorded on the parchments are indeed much more logical.
But it does not mean that whichever one is logical is closest to the truth.
Legends from ancient times are almost all scattered and unsystematic. Wei Zi cannot say that he has never seen a record as complete and logical as this parchment, but it is extremely rare.
She asked Taoist Master Baopu: "Is it likely that this parchment was copied by later generations?"
