Chapter 23 The Abnormality of Yihe
Yi and this sudden action surprised us. Everyone looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes, but no one knew what his move meant.
Shen Lang, whose brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people, looked at Yi He with a pious expression, and then looked at me who was at a loss, and finally couldn't help but talk to myself.
"This place is really evil. After that, Brother Chuan was like crazy, and now it is Yihe, like a demon, with no taboos and no taboos..."
Xue Nan couldn't stand Shen Lang's timid appearance, so he reached out to pat him hard on the head. After seeing Shen Lang's aggrieved look, he looked at Yihe tentatively, wanting to know why he did such a move.
"Yehe, what's wrong with you?"
But Yihe seemed to have not heard Xue Nan's question, and continued his movements with stern eyes.
There is a cushion in front of the statue of God. Yihe is now kneeling seriously on the cushion. His expression is pious, and he kowtowed respectfully to the statue of God in front of him.
Judging from his actions, what he is doing now is the most solemn ceremony of three bows and nine bows in ancient times.
The so-called three kowtows and nine bows refer to the great ceremony of visiting emperors or worshiping ancestors in ancient times.
Among them, knocking means bowing and respect, while bowing means offering one's own body and offering one's own body. If you use a popular explanation, it means offering this body to heaven and earth, and you are willing to give up your body.
I frowned and couldn't help but start to guess in my heart, what exactly is the reason that Yi and such a proud person gave such a grand gift here?
Finally, after the three kowtows and nine bows, Yihe slowly stood up and looked at Xue Nan as he was about to explain to her, but found that the statue of the god had undergone a new change.
The statue of Houtu is about three people tall, with seven hands behind his back and two hands on his chest. Due to the chess and sudden actions, we forgot to test whether this statue is made of solid and whether there is another mystery.
And as Yi He stood up, a sound of a mechanism similar to that just now came from the statue!
We didn't know whether the sound of this mechanism was good or bad, so we had to stay away from here and watch the changes of the statue on the side.
As the sound of the mechanism sounded, the statue of the back earth in front of us slowly separated from it. The hands on our chest now seemed like two doors, guarding the things hidden in the statue.
After the sound of the mechanism completely disappeared, we dared to go forward and carefully check what had happened to the statue.
After returning to the statue, we first saw that in front of the statue, the cushion we knelt on when we were just chessing, and there was an extra tablet where we disappeared.
This tablet is extremely simple, full of earth-yellow colors, and the content engraved on it is also concise and abnormal.
Even though I had been mentally prepared for a long time, the moment I saw the tablet, an abnormal feeling still arose in my heart.
I believe that every Chinese person can't hide his excitement when he sees the god position in front of him, because strictly speaking, we are all descendants of this person, we are all descendants of the descendants of Yanhuang, and the god position in front of us is the common ancestor of all of us!
The position of Emperor Xuanyuan!
Xuanyuan Huangdi was the common ruler of the Chinese nation in ancient times. He was one of the three emperors and the head of the five emperors. He was the ancestor of the Chinese nation and was also respected as the first ancestor of Chinese humanities.
It is rumored that Huangdi was the son of Shaodian and Fubao. His original surname was Gongsun and his name was Xuanyuan. Later, he changed his surname to Ji, so he was called Ji Xuanyuan. Because he lived in Xuanyuan's hill, he was also called Xuanyuan because he was founded in Youxiong, so he was also called Youxiong.
According to historical records, Huangdi was called Huangdi because of his auspicious virtue of the earth. His great achievements in unifying the Chinese tribes and conquering the Dongyi, and the Jiuli tribes and then unifying China were recorded in history.
However, Shen Lang was still resentful of Yihe's actions just now. Perhaps we had already guessed just now, and the tablet here was just Huangdi, not Huangdi's tomb. So after a brief surprise, he still looked at Yihe and asked perseverance.
"Yehe, what happened to you just now? Why are you so devoutly and respectful to this statue?"
Yihe looked at Shen Lang helplessly, but did not say it directly, but asked him like revenge.
"Shen Lang, I'll ask you, what do you know about Empress Houtu?"
Shen Lang naturally would not know anything about Houtu. He looked at us after hearing the help from the rear. Seeing this, Ling Xuan could only speak helplessly and explain the so-called source of Houtu to his unlucky apprentice.
Houtu, also known as Houtu, is full of the name Chengtian and emulate the virtues and glorify Houtu imperial land. It is also among the four and six Taoist emperors and is respected as the mother of the earth.
This god originated from the worship of land in nature worship. The ancients have always had primitive worship of heaven and earth. As for worshiping land, the ancients did not worship the entity itself of the land at that time, but the main reason for worship was that they felt that the land was vast and boundless and nurturing all things at the same time, which was the root of human survival.
Therefore, from the emperor to the people, they worship Houtu very much. In history, large-scale sacrificial rituals were held every year, and many times they were even presided over by the emperor themselves. Therefore, Houtu's status was extremely respected.
What Ling Xuan said is not at all good, but in my opinion, these are not enough to be a reason for chess and such piety.
After hearing this, Yihe nodded. He looked at the statue of Houtu in front of him, and his attitude was still pious. Then he no longer kept it to us, but spoke directly and said the part that was ignored by Ling Xuan.
"Ling Xuan said nothing, but he ignored the most important point.
In ancient mythology, Houtu is the earliest Lord of the Underworld!”
When I heard what Yihe said, I suddenly remembered some records I had seen.
Houtu, the yin and yang are used to cultivate all things, and the nine states are able to control the underworld.
Someone once used the content of the Shanhai Jing to verify it with Chu Ci, and found that in the Spring and Autumn Period, according to the article "Chu Ci's Soul Conquer" that Houtu was the god who was the main underground capital, that is, the Lord of the Underworld in that era.
Yihe smiled faintly and looked at us with a meaningful smile.
"Although I am the descendant of Guigu, in the underworld, I am all the martial arts taught by my subordinates that come from the underworld in the legend. Don't you find it strange?"
I was actually curious about what Yihe said.
Although Yihe is the descendant of Guigu, the power he created is called Youming, and he himself is known as the Lord of Youming.
Out of respect for him before, we have not asked him about it. Now, I think that the origin of this Netherworld may have some relationship with Houtu.
Yihe smiled bitterly when he saw our reaction, then turned around and looked at Chunting, his eyes as if they were about to plunge into Chunting's heart.
"This matter is a long story, and it should start with him.
