Chapter 892 Kunpeng's Past
"Ugh!"
The middle-aged lady sighed and smiled slightly at Su Xiaoya, but her smile contained too much.
Su Xiaoya didn't quite understand this smile. The middle-aged lady was clearly smiling, but she only felt a deep sadness.
Su Xiaoya frowned slightly, suppressing the emotions in her heart. She didn't want to be swayed by her emotions and affect her judgment.
The middle-aged lady seemed oblivious to Su Xiaoya's defensiveness. She knew it was only natural to be cautious when facing strangers. Only by being so cautious could she live longer, and only then did she feel comfortable entrusting Xiao Kun to her care.
"Fellow Daoist! You must be very curious, right?" The gentle voice of the middle-aged lady rang out: "We are Kunpeng."
Su Xiaoya said "hmm" softly, indicating that she was listening to what the middle-aged lady was saying.
The middle-aged lady curled her lips and smiled, then continued, "Our ancestor Kunpeng and the great god Pangu are both Chaos Spirits born at the beginning of Chaos."
Uh!
Su Xiaoya opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the middle-aged lady. She really didn't expect that Kunpeng would be one of the three thousand chaotic demons.
At this moment, Su Xiaoya was like being attracted by a magnet, listening attentively to the words of the middle-aged lady.
This is an ancient secret!
Who could have expected that he would have the honor of seeing the direct descendants of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and they were still alive!
The middle-aged lady finally felt relieved when she saw Su Xiaoya finally showing interest. When she spoke again, her voice became much more relaxed:
After Pangu created the world, the ancestors Kunpeng, Hongjun, Nuwa, Fuxi and many other chaotic spirits who had helped Pangu or remained neutral when Pangu created the world, lived and worked together on Pangu Star.
Since then, the Kunpeng clan has regarded protecting the Pangu Realm as its mission, and the Kunpeng clan has never been absent from any divine wars such as "Repairing the Sky and Controlling Floods".
As the middle-aged lady spoke, Su Xiaoya's heart was overwhelmed, as if she was brought into that magnificent era.
The middle-aged lady saw Su Xiaoya getting more and more absorbed in her listening, and she felt more and more relieved. Especially when Su Xiaoya heard that the Kunpeng clan had participated in the "Repairing the Sky and Controlling the Flood" divine war, her sparkling eyes, as well as her full admiration and yearning, the middle-aged lady felt that everything was worth it.
Su Xiaoya had heard and read too many versions of the story of Dayu controlling the floods on Blue Star, but she never knew about the story of Kunpeng.
And from what the middle-aged lady said, Dayu's flood control was actually a war between gods!
Perhaps it was because she was a liberal arts student, or perhaps it was because she had been listening to mythological stories since she was a child, but Su Xiaoya was particularly fond of ancient myths. Now, listening to the middle-aged lady recounting them, how could she not be excited? She almost wanted to travel through time and space to see it for herself...
When the middle-aged lady mentioned the ancestor, her face was filled with pride, and even her tone of voice rose slightly unconsciously: "Let's not talk about other aspects. Just the fact that the ancestor Kunpeng calmed the surging flood with just a gentle flap of his wings!"
She paused for a moment, as if savoring the magnificent scene. The pride in her eyes almost overflowed as she looked at Su Xiaoya proudly: "It was thanks to the divine power of Ancestor Kunpeng that Dayu was able to successfully quell the flood!"
Uh?
Su Xiaoya's smile froze slightly when she heard this. She thought to herself that either this middle-aged lady was bragging, or it was the Kunpeng Patriarch or the elder of this middle-aged lady who was bragging.
After all, it was not an easy task for Dayu to control the flood. It took a long time and hard work to finally achieve success.
As far as Su Xiaoya knows, "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of Han" clearly record that Dayu "lived outside for thirteen years" to control the flood.
The Book of Documents: Tribute of Yu recorded in detail that Dayu "guided the river and piled up stones to Longmen... passed the precipitation to the north and reached the mainland; then went north again, spread it into nine rivers, all flowing upstream and into the sea."
The "Er Ya" (Explanation of Water) clearly identifies the nine rivers as Taishi, Fufu, Majia, Husu, Tuhai, Jian, Jie, Goupan, and Gejin. Taking advantage of the terrain's high west and low east, Dayu employed dredging methods, uniting various tribes to divert floodwaters from these nine rivers into the Bohai Sea, ultimately calming the flood.
Of course, the legend that is almost known to every person on Blue Star - Dayu cast the "Nine Cauldrons" to suppress the floods in the Nine Provinces - has clear written records.
The Nine Tripods are Jizhou Tripod, Yanzhou Tripod, Qingzhou Tripod, Xuzhou Tripod, Yangzhou Tripod, Jingzhou Tripod, Yuzhou Tripod, Liangzhou Tripod and Yongzhou Tripod.
It is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian" and other documents that King Wu of Qin, the crazy tripod lifter in the Warring States Period, died while lifting the Yanzhou Tripod (a red tripod with dragon pattern, the heaviest of the Nine Tripods, weighing about 2500 kilograms).
The "Waterways of the Classic of Zhou" in the "Records of the Grand Historian" records that in the 42nd year of King Xuan of Zhou, the Nine Cauldrons sank beneath the Si River in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). During his southern tour, Qin Shihuang sent thousands of people to salvage them from the Si River, but returned without success.
Therefore, even if the Nine Cauldrons eventually disappear, the existence of the Nine Cauldrons cannot be denied.
So, if Kunpeng could really calm the flood with just a flap of his wings, then why did Dayu waste manpower and money to dredge the river and laboriously gather skilled craftsmen from all over the country to cast the Nine Cauldrons?
Enough support?
So, Su Xiaoya really couldn’t maintain her facial expression and could only look embarrassed, haha!
Compared to this, Su Xiaoya was more concerned about what would happen after the "Nine Rivers Return to the Sea". It was said that all the floods would eventually be diverted to Guixu, and Guixu had five fairy mountains, among which Penglai Island was the destination of Su Xiaoya and her friends' repeated voyages to the East China Sea.
The Liezi (Liezi) Tangwen states: "East of the Bohai Sea, for an unknown number of millions of miles, there lies a vast abyss. It is actually a bottomless valley, with no bottom at all. It is called Guixu. Waters from the eight directions and nine fields, as well as the Milky Way, all flow into it, without increasing or decreasing."
Legend has it that there are five sacred mountains in Guixu: Daiyu, Yuanjiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. Each mountain is towering into the clouds, with palaces dotted on top, resembling a fairyland.
However, these sacred mountains floated on the sea without foundations and were easily drifted by the waves. To stabilize the sacred mountains, the Emperor of Heaven sent the Sea God Yu Qiang to command fifteen giant turtles, divided into five groups, to support the base of the mountains with their heads, thus ensuring their stability.
Unfortunately, Su Xiaoya moved her lips several times, but looking at the middle-aged lady's eyes with a bit of resentment, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
I feel like I have hurt the middle-aged lady's self-esteem a little bit!
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaoya changed the subject and asked, "So what happened next? How did the Kunpeng clan end up in this small world?"
The middle-aged lady's expression darkened as she slowly spoke, "Later, the war between the wizards and the liches erupted, and the world was in turmoil. Ancestor Kunpeng was also seriously injured. Later, when Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao, the demons invaded, and Pangu Star was besieged by the upper three thousand worlds..."
"Wait a minute," Su Xiaoya heard this, not caring whether it was polite to interrupt others, and asked anxiously: "Are you saying that Qingyuan Star is Pangu Star?"
The middle-aged lady was surprised that Su Xiaoya was quite smart. She nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "Yes! Qingyuan Star is Pangu Star, but Pangu Star is the first star in the chaos. It has the origin of stars. In order to avoid being coveted, it was renamed Qingyuan Star."
After a pause, the middle-aged lady explained, "Qingyuan Star is the blessing of the evergreen origin of the stars."
pity……
