Chapter 82 Shooting the Sun

When everyone thought about the word "Sun" mentioned in Chunting, they nodded.

There is no doubt that even if time passes a thousand years, the mountains and rivers have changed and the old friends are gone, everything in this world is no longer what it is today, but the sun in the sky at that time would not be any different from today.

As the saying goes, the sun shines and the sun shines. No matter what legend is in, the sun's status is always so noble. No one has ever doubted this.

There was a saying that after Pangu died of the Heavenly Body, the sun and Taiyin transformed into his eyes were combined with the yin and yang energy in the two spheres, and the sun candle shine and Taiyin Youying were born.

In this statement, Sun Candlelight and Taiyin Youying are called the Holy Spirit. These two have produced four images, and the combination of four images has produced all the divine beasts, ferocious beasts, even strange beasts, and ordinary beasts in the world have been born, adding endless vitality to this world.

Regardless of the authenticity of this statement, just from this simple description, we can roughly feel the ancients' respect for the sun.

Obviously, something that is far beyond our understanding like this can indeed be called an eternal thing.

"When the chaos was not opened, except for the great god Pangu and the three thousand chaotic demon gods, there was nothing else in this world, and naturally there was no so-called sun."

Seeing that we understood his words, Chunting spoke again and told us the story of the sun.

"When the great god Pangu opened the sky with his axe, he felt that the world was too deserted, so he turned his body into all things in the world. The left eye transformed into the sun that shone to this day."

"People often say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and those who practice Taoism also have the magical power to hurt people with their eyes. Since even the eyes of ordinary people are so important, the sun transformed by the left eye of the great god Pangu is naturally more extraordinary. It is precisely because of this that Nuwa knocked her own idea to the sun."

Speaking of this, Chunting lowered his head and looked at the puzzled people, and asked us in a considerate tone.

"In ancient myths, if something related to the sun is mentioned, what will you think of first."

Compared to the questions raised by Chunting before, the questions he mentioned were too simple at this moment, so before he could finish his words, Shen Lang rushed to answer to him.

"I know, I know, when it comes to the sun, the first reaction is of course Houyi shooting the sun and Kuafu chasing the sun!"

"There are many myths and stories that you won't feel any abnormality before you know the truth, but if you know the hidden truth, you will definitely find some problems after hearing it again."

Hearing this answer, Chunting showed a mysterious smile without saying a word, and then asked Shen Lang.

"I just said that the sun is transformed by the left eye of the great god Pangu. Touch your brain and think about it carefully. How many left eyes of the great god Pangu have?"

Facing Chunting's replies, Shen Lang was speechless.

The two stories of Houyi Shooting the Sun and Kuafu Chasing the Sun mentioned by Shen Lang just now are naturally not unfamiliar with them. They are myths that everyone has grown up since childhood. It is no exaggeration to say that even three-year-old children have heard their elders tell these two stories that have been passed down for thousands of years.

But it was not until Chunting asked back questions that we suddenly realized that not to mention Kuafu's chasing the sun for now, the story of Houyi shooting the sun seemed to have great problems in itself.

According to legend, in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky. These ten suns were brothers and lived together on Fusom trees in the Soup Valley. Nine suns lived on shorter branches, and the last sun lived on the treetops.

Whenever a new day begins, when China needs light, the sun that lives on the treetops rises from Tanggu, crosses the sky, shines on the earth, and spreads light and heat throughout every corner of China. It will not be until the evening when this sun sets in Yugu.

Ten suns change every day and take turns to serve, orderly, the world and everything in harmony, people work from sunrise to sunset, and life is both happy and happy.

But the good times did not last long. After such days, ten suns could not help but feel bored. So they decided to travel around the sky. When the new dawn came, the ten suns rose together and embarked on the journey of crossing the sky.

A sun shines on the land of China to sprinkle light and heat on the land of China, so that the world can see light. But if ten suns appear together, the creatures in China will be completely unable to withstand this too strong light and heat. As the ten suns rise together, the land of China will suddenly become messy.

Ten suns are like ten big fire balls. The heat they emit burns the earth and drys the rivers. Neither humans nor demons can resist such heat. There is no doubt that if they continue for a long time, China will definitely turn into a scorched earth and will never have any vitality.

As the saying goes, there must be heroes in times of crisis. In this case, a hero really appeared.

This hero is named Houyi. He is an archer with great archery skills and is hit every time. Because he felt that the land of China was scorched by ten suns and people lived in suffering, he secretly made up his mind to shoot out the nine extra suns from the sky and help people escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

So Houyi climbed over many mountains, passed through the deserts, and finally came to a big mountain by the East China Sea. After reaching the top of the mountain, he bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the sun that was emitting a vicious light in the sky, and shot it with an arrow.

After the arrow was shot out, the high sun was actually shot down by Houyi.

After feeling the heat decrease, Houyi couldn't help but look happy, but he did not give up. Instead, he continued to pull the arrow and aimed the arrow at the next sun. As the arrow shot out again, the second sun also fell from the sky.

In this way, Houyi shot arrows at the sun one by one, and no one was experiencing virtual fire. After shooting out nine suns, the light and heat between heaven and earth finally returned to normal, and China avoided the danger of being turned into scorched earth.

At this time, Houyi successfully retreated. He let go of the last sun, warned him, and turned around and walked down the mountain. From then on, no one in the world knew where he was going.

This is the story of Houyi shooting the sun. We grew up listening to this story since we were young, but we have always regarded it as a simple story.

But now, after hearing what Chunting said, everyone suddenly thought of the problem in this story.

Since the sun is transformed by the left eye of the great god Pangu, it is impossible for the second sun to appear in this world.
