Qinglong Ghost Palace Chapter 93: Dragon Hunting Meeting in Chiyou Ancient Tomb (Part 2)
In fact, the little girl Zhang Bailing just had a bad temper, just like being coquettish, and she got better after a while, so we are back to the topic.
We were all speculating about what kind of Taotie was suppressing under the ancient tomb of Chi You. Unexpectedly, at this time, Maria, who had just brought us water, said: "This... I know this Taotie, you can listen to me.
?”
She, a white American, dares to talk about Taotie to us Chinese. How can we not be surprised? After all, Taotie is a product of ancient mythology. We Chinese people can't even explain it. How can she, a foreigner, have the courage? Does she have a heavy tongue?
, the fan doesn’t move? Also, they foreigners speak Chinese so poorly that my stomach turns and hurts.
Feilong slapped his thigh and said happily: "Ouch! It's such a bad situation today. Do you, an old foreigner, know something about our ancestors? You should explain it carefully. I'm really curious."
I winked at Zhang Bailing, what does that mean about this person’s background? She posed behind Maria, with her arms folded in front of her chest, with a wicked smile on her face, and her eyes were very disdainful. I thought
I have learned so much from Axiu that I can probably win a Best Actress award when I go to film a movie. It seems that this doctor belongs to Axiu. He just served tea and poured water to show his hospitality. If something happens like this, I must be on guard against her.
Yeah, the people at Axiu's side are not good people.
We all asked Maria to talk about it. They foreigners are naturally outgoing and did not refuse. They slowly said: "In our old North American books, it is said that Taotie was transformed from the head of the war emperor Chi You. In ancient China,
Among the totems, arranged from top to bottom are the Wolf Totem, the Taotie Totem, and the Dragon Totem. However, after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, he covered up the totem of the Chi You era that resisted him, that is, the Taotie, which was equivalent to destroying history. That scene
The ancient revolution was even worse than the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucian scholars in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"In addition to this, there is another legend, but it seems more mythical. According to our rational thinking as Americans, I would rather believe in the gluttonous totem that destroyed Chi You than in the legend below."
When Maria said this, she looked at us and waited for our reactions. The doctors over there listened with great interest, but those of us who were knowledgeable were dumbfounded. Yes, indeed, there were wolf totems and dragon totems in Chinese history.
But this was the first time she heard of the Taotie Totem. Seeing that we didn't speak or refute, she seemed to feel a sense of accomplishment, and then continued:
"This legend seems to be related to the Qinglong Ghost Palace you went to last time, and the reincarnation bronze in it. Legend has it that Chi You was the originator of the Yi people in the Southern Barbarians and the leader of the ancient Shu people. At that time, he had merged with the ancient Shu Kingdom and ruled the Ba Kingdom, and the area was vast.
In order to expand the country's capital, people gradually discovered bronze relics underground in the ancient Shu Kingdom. As the excavation area gradually expanded, one day people discovered that the bronze was almost endless, and a big strange thing happened in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
That is, the number of people in the ancient Shu Kingdom increased several times, and continued to grow. Until later, Chi You discovered that this kind of bronze could have the function of cloning, so he ordered to start transporting this kind of bronze out of the country, but not to touch it anymore to avoid ancient times.
The supply of food and grass in Shu was not enough, and it had been dug for nearly ten years. Suddenly one day many big monsters crawled out of it. Those monsters could fly and run. Later, Chi You saw the opportunity to unify all continents, and began to treat those monsters kindly.
The monsters made friends with them, and finally had wars with national tribes on all continents. Those monsters were subdued by the survivors of the last Luo Ji and suppressed underground. Later they were called Taotie. This is the origin of Taotie.
Already..."
Zhang Bailing got a glass of water from Maria and said: "Dr. Maria, please drink water after you speak so much Chinese, otherwise it will cause damage to your vocal cords."
Zhang Bailing's cleverness made Maria smile. I said silently: "Bronze again? The Yi people from the last Luo Ji?"
I felt that there were some things that I couldn't figure out, so I raised my hand and asked Maria: "What does the Yi people in Luoji mean? I...I don't understand." I smiled awkwardly.
What I didn't expect was that Maria actually came over and wrote on my palm, "It's this 'yi', the lost Yi, not the Yi of the Yi people. Mr. Guo, you know it."
I was shocked and asked again: "What is "Luo Ji"?"
