But what benefit do these things have to Tushan Nvjiao?

It goes without saying that Zhen Mi needs to say more. As a mortal, the higher your status, the more privileges you can get.

The same goes for Wu Liang. If Tushan Nujiao can really help him control the "Seven Killing Patterns" and help him achieve a great career, the benefits are self-evident, although Wu Liang has no idea about this kind of thing.

Too much interest.

But if you say that Tushan Nvjiao does this without any intention, Wu Liang will certainly not believe it...

Wu Liang suddenly remembered Zhen Mi's suggestion that the Zhen Mansion open a warehouse to store grain. This was probably Tushan Nvjiao's intention. Although this could be regarded as a good deed, with Tushan Nvjiao's temperament, she would not take it seriously.

Too much like a fairy who is so selfless and loves the people like a child.

In my impression, later generations of people seem to have a relatively general explanation for the reason why the "Churching Horse Fairy" "comes out of the horse".

It seems that the "Chu Ma Immortal" uses the body of his disciples to "Chu Ma" to exorcise ghosts, cure diseases, ward off disasters and other actions. Most of them are related to practice, and are considered a necessary means to break through the realm or extend life.

.

Moreover, Tushan Nujiao did say that she would help him achieve a great career, and she would also benefit from it, but she did not elaborate on what the benefits were.

"This is not something you should care about."

Facing Wu Liang's questioning, Zhen Mi's tone immediately cooled down, and then said, "You only need to know one thing. After you succeed, as long as you still obey me, what you saw in your dream will be enough."

If it becomes a reality, you will be the king and I will be the queen. Wouldn’t it be beautiful for you and me to play the piano and the harp in harmony?"

As expected, it is the same as what Wu Liang just concluded from history. The ultimate goal of Tushan Nvjiao is to become the "king's woman", and becoming the "king's mother" is a matter in the future.

But this is still generosity to others.

Because it was Zhen Mi who sacrificed her body in the end, not Tushan Nvjiao who was talking to Wu Liang now, this was just a proxy war after all.

"Isn't the Great Immortal afraid that I will change my mind temporarily and make a wedding dress for someone else?"

Wu Liang then asked again, trying to find out Tushan Nujiao's trump card.

"You can try it."

Then Zhen Mi's calm voice came from the room, "I'm not afraid that you know that there were two people who were my disciples. You should have heard their names. One is called Chunhu and the other is called Daji."

"???"

When Wu Liang heard Tushan Nujiao suddenly announce these two names, he was immediately shocked again.

Perhaps many people are a little unfamiliar with the name "Chun Hu", but when it comes to her husband's name, whether now or in future generations, they are all familiar with Hou Yi!

Influenced by a fabricated myth, people in later generations believed that Hou Yi's wife should be Chang'e.

But anyone who has studied official history knows that Hou Yi's wife was not Chang'e who appeared after taking the elixir and flying to the moon, but a woman who was called a "pure fox" by later generations.

In fact, "Chun Hu" is the clan name of this woman. Her exact name is not yet clear. Only "Tian Wen" written by Qu Yuan seems to mention that she should be named "Dazzling Wife".

But these are not important. What is important is that "Pure Fox" has done something big.

Hou Yi was in charge of the government at that time. As Hou Yi's wife, she committed adultery with Hou Yi's most trusted disciple "Hanzhuo" and conspired to kill many of Hou Yi's trusted ministers.

After being replaced by his cronies, and then being caught and raped in bed by Hou Yi again, "Hanzhuo" took the opportunity to kill Hou Yi, then proclaimed himself king, changed the country's name to Han, and made "Chun Hu" the royal concubine.

But now Tushan Nujiao actually said that "Chun Hu" was her disciple and accepted her orders like Zhen Mi.

Then what "Pure Fox" did probably needs to be analyzed in connection with the historical background at that time, especially the historical background related to Tushan Nujiao and Dayu:

After Dayu married Tushan Nvjiao, Dayu eventually became the master of the world, and Tushan Nvjiao gave birth to a son named "Qi".

Later, when Dayu passed away, the throne was passed on to a man named "Bo Yi" according to the "concession system" at that time.

As a result, "Qi" immediately launched a struggle to oust "Bo Yi", took back the throne left by his father Dayu, established the Xia Dynasty, and changed the "concession system" to "hereditary system", making the world one family.

’s world.

After "Qi" died, his heir "Taikang" successfully inherited the throne according to the hereditary system.

But not long after, the outsider "Hou Yi" launched another coup and seized power. Although he did not directly proclaim himself emperor, he instead made "Zhong Kang", the younger brother of "Tai Kang", the king of Xia. However, in fact, "Zhong Kang" was just a

The puppets and government are all under his control.

Later, "Zhongkang" died, and "Zhongkang's" heir "Xiang" succeeded to the throne. "Xiang" fled soon after, and from then on "Houyi" officially proclaimed himself emperor and inherited the throne alone.

And "Pure Fox" appeared at this time.

"Chun Hu" seduced Hou Yi's apprentice "Han Zhuo" to commit adultery with him, and planned to kill Hou Yi to usurp the throne and be named queen.

The "Xiang" who had escaped before was also hunted by "Hanzhuo" and eventually died. However, the "Xiang" wife escaped and gave birth to his posthumous son "Shaokang".

Many years later, "Shaokang" came of age and joined forces with Xia Shi's remaining ministers to defeat "Hancu". Since then, the throne of the world has gone back and forth and finally returned to the hands of Xia Shi's lineage, that is, Dayu and Tushan Nvjiao.

In the hands of descendants of blood...

It is worth mentioning here that the Chunhu tribe, where Chunhu was born, uses the "nine-tailed fox" as the totem of the tribe.

But it has to be said that this matter would have never been brought up unless Tushan Nujiao specifically mentioned it.

Wu Liang had not thought of so much.

Now think about it carefully, this "pure fox" committed adultery with Hou Yi's disciples, disrupted the imperial court, and eventually killed Hou Yi who had usurped the throne of the Xia Palace, and finally returned the throne to the people waiting for the Xia Palace. This was not just a revenge.

It's a big game of chess.

After talking about the deeds of "Pure Fox", the other disciple "Daji" mentioned by Tushan Nujiao naturally needs to be sorted out again to find out the similarities between them.

In fact, the popularity of "Daji" in later generations is obviously much higher than that of "Chunhu". It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows it.

The king "Daji" served was the famous tyrant "Di Xin", King Zhou of Shang.

According to historical records, "Emperor Xin" loved "Daji" very much, and almost everything would follow the wishes of "Daji". However, he did such extravagant things as "wine forest and meat pond" and invented horrifying things.

The torture and killing of loyal ministers and righteous men in the court were all fueled by "Daji", and she played a role in "aiding the evil".

Because of this, the people of the world began to resent him, and many princes began to betray him.

In the end, the Shang Dynasty was overthrown by Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou "Di Xin" of Shang Dynasty burned himself to death in Lutai. The rule of Shang Dynasty came to an end...

As far as Wu Liang knows, there are also legends about "Daji" being possessed by the "Nine-tailed Fox" or being the original fox of the "Nine-tailed Fox".

However, in the legend, "Daji" is not the Tushan nine-tailed fox, but the "Qingqiu nine-tailed fox" also recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"There is a beast in Qingqiu Mountain. It looks like a fox with nine tails, and its voice is like a baby. It can eat people, and those who eat it are not poisonous."

It is generally believed that if "Daji" is related to the nine-tailed fox, then the "Qingqiu nine-tailed fox" is her prototype or ontology.

And there are legends.

After the death of Emperor Xin of Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty, "Daji" was not distraught. Instead, she was forced to flee all the way to the Mojie Tuo Kingdom in the Western Regions. Because of her amazing talent and appearance, she was summoned to the palace by Prince Ban of the Mojie Tuo Kingdom.

Zhong, was granted the title of Princess and was given the name "Huayang Tian".

Later, under her influence, Prince Ban followed the old path of Emperor Xin, the king of Shang Zhou. He was bewitched and indulged in lust all day long, and harmed loyal people. As a result, the people of Moji Tuo were in ruins, their rivers and rivers were declining, and finally they also perished.

After that, she returned to the Celestial Dynasty, and by chance, she concealed her identity and followed the Japanese envoy to the Japanese Kingdom.

Soon she was favored by the "Emperor Toba" of the Japanese kingdom, and she was made a princess and given the name "Tamamo-mae". After that, it is another story...

Wu Liang didn't really believe in the later legends of "Huayang Tian" and "Tamazao Mae".

These two events spanned a large area both geographically and in time, and there were no clues that could be verified in the historical documents of the Celestial Dynasty. At least for now, what he was more concerned about was "Daji" mentioned by Tushan Nvjiao.

Tushan Nujiao just said that "Daji" was also one of her disciples, so "Daji" should also have a motive for what she did to King Zhou of Shang, "Di Xin" and the Shang Dynasty.

Wu Liang thought about it on his own in this direction, and he really came up with a reasonable motive!

According to historical records, around 1600 BC, Tang, the leader of the Shang tribe, led his troops to attack King Jie of Xia. They fought in Mingtiao. In the end, Xia Jie was defeated and was exiled to Lishan. He died soon after. From then on, the Xia Dynasty was completely destroyed and the Xia Dynasty came to an end.

Tang immediately established the Shang Dynasty and became king, and was known as King Tang of Shang in history...

Tushan Nujiao was the mother of the Xia Dynasty.

Shang destroyed Xia.

Then Shangshi is the enemy of Tushan Nvjiao, and Tushan Nvjiao naturally has reason to find ways to seek revenge. Possessing "Daji" and causing the downfall of the Shang Dynasty can also be regarded as a kind of "repaying the other in return."

s method.

It's just that before this, Wu Liang had never associated Tushan Nujiao with "Pure Fox" and "Daji". He never expected that these historical events would have such a staggering connection.

For Wu Liang, this was naturally an unexpected historical discovery.

in addition……

From the establishment of King Tang of Shang Dynasty to the end of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty lasted more than 500 years. It took more than 500 years for Tushan Nvjiao to accept "Daji" as her disciple to carry out revenge. This time span was too long.

Based on Wu Liang's current understanding of Tushan's beauty, if she had the ability, she would definitely not be able to wait for more than five centuries.

After thinking about it carefully, there should be only one possibility.

That is, during these more than five centuries, Tushan Nujiao may have been experiencing something very important to her personally, so much so that she was too busy to worry about other things.

in addition.

There has been an interval of more than a thousand years since the fall of the Shang Dynasty. During this period, Tushan Nujiao did not mention any other disciples of hers. Most likely, she did not do anything earth-shattering. At the very least, there was definitely no "Pure Fox" or "Pure Fox".

"Daji" is so famous...

So during this period of time, was Tushan Nujiao also doing something that made her unable to do anything?
