Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 97
Yandi and Huangdi are the common ancestors of Chinese civilization.

Chi You, who opposed the two emperors, has become the embodiment of "evil" in the writing of Confucianism for thousands of years.

Legend has it that he "eats iron and stone, has a human body and hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and temples like swords and halberds, and horns on his head."

For a long time, Chi You has also symbolized ferocity and hostility.

In fact?

In the ancient time and space, after seeing this ancient military god in person, Lin Feng felt that Chi You had a "demon" side and a "god" side, and the rational "divinity" occupied most of it.

After all, he contributed the most to the prosperity of the Jiuli tribe.

The night wind was strong, and Chi You, standing on a high place with a height of more than ten feet, was simply a domineering demon lord who could reach the sky and lift off the ground.

"Young man, in order to save the tribe, I also went to heaven and earth, searching all over the world to find good medicine for diseases."

"Have you seen the dragon with the blue face and fangs?"

"I heard that there is an elixir planted by the gods in the deep abyss. I entered the abyss single-handedly. At the bottom of the dark sky, I fought with the alien dragon creature for several days. Both sides were exhausted before I finally tamed it and controlled it for the Jiuli tribe. .”

"Later, I led the warriors to conquer the nests of ferocious beasts, and went to the land of wild beasts to find medicinal materials for healing."

Hearing this, Lin Feng clicked his tongue on the spot.

The audience who watched the show also collectively looked astonished. Why can the warriors of the Jiuli tribe ride dragons and leopards?

Why can they drive all kinds of prehistoric beasts?

Why do all the beasts surrender at their feet.

It turned out to be such a reason!
Imagine.

Back then, in order to save his tribe, Chi You wore solid armor, held a tiger soul, and crushed the bloody scene of tens of thousands of beasts.

Those wild beasts were all subdued by Chi You.

"What is a myth? Myths are created."

"How many modern people believe that their ancestors can control rich wolves, tigers and leopards? Can they drive vicious birds of prey?"

"Being able to fight against the evil dragon of the abyss alone, Chi You's force value has definitely broken through the ceiling."

"It's a pity that such a brave ancient man who can conquer the beasts in the sky, after his death, even his reputation will no longer exist."

"Hey, the untraceable history, now traced back to the ancient times, is a heart-wrenching truth."

Modern audiences feel sorry for Chi You, and feel that such a military god who is proud of everything should be proved by him.

in the lens.

Lin Feng said, "Senior, if there are three tribes of Xiong, Shennong, and Jiuli, they can unite and form a more powerful tribe, what do you think?"

"impossible!"

"It's nothing but Arabian Nights!"

Chi You immediately retorted, and at the same time, the evil spirit on his face suddenly became extremely strong, and he said with thousands of resentments:

"Shen Nong is kind and weak, Xuanyuan is insidious and despicable, I, Chi You, is ambitious, and the three of us cannot prosper together."

This resentful speech.

every note.

When Chi You breathed out, his breath beat like thunder, and then exploded in the low sky, which was extremely ear-piercing.

Shennong benevolent?

Xuanyuan is sinister?

Chi You's ambition?

Lin Feng looked bewildered. It seems that there are no such sayings and descriptions in various ancient books of the later era?

Is Shennong merciful?
Emperor Yan once fought a battle against Huangdi in Banquan, and after he failed, he fought against Chiyou's Jiuli tribe and lost again...

Emperor Yan, who started all kinds of ancient wars, can't be kind no matter what, right?

Is the Yellow Emperor insidious?
This first ancestor of the humanities, with great talents, great achievements, and a life of open and aboveboard conquest, how could he have the slightest conspiracy and sneaky means?

Is Chi You ambitious?
Chi You is ambitious, but his ambition is not big enough, or his heart is not strong enough. Otherwise, during the battle with the tribes in the Central Plains led by the Xiong family, Huangdi won all nine battles, and the Yellow Emperor can still survive until now?

Lin Feng said respectfully, "Senior, are the last three sentences you said really serious?"

Chi You said coldly, "The sky is watching, I, Chi You, don't know how to talk nonsense."

Lin Feng said again:

"What kind of person is Shennong Yandi in the legends of later generations? Why is he said to be kind? Why is he said to be weak?"

It has been a while since Lin Feng came to this ancient era.

Never met Emperor Yan.

Legend has it that the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang won the throne because he knew how to use fire, so he was called Emperor Yan.

From Shennong, there are nine generations of Emperor Yan in the Jiang surnamed tribe. Shennong gave birth to Emperor Kui, Kui gave birth to Emperor Cheng, Cheng gave birth to Emperor Ming, Ming gave birth to Emperor Zhi, Zhi gave birth to Emperor Ya, Ya gave birth to Emperor Ai, Ai gave birth to Dike, and Ke gave birth to Emperor Yuwang. , passed on for 530 years.

This era is naturally the first generation of Shennong Yandi.

"Shen Nong, he is the Lord of the world, the Son of Heaven respected by all the tribes, what is the Son of Heaven, God is the father, the eldest son of the world."

"Shen Nong made great achievements in improving fire."

"This gives him the ability to order the world. Xuanyuan and I, many years ago, must obey Shennong's orders."

"But Shennong is in a high position, but he doesn't care about the affairs of the world. He wants to go to the mountains to find medicinal herbs and grains. This has abandoned the rights of the tribes and caused complaints from all tribes."

"Later, the various clans fought and separated. If Xuanyuan and I hadn't risen, the earth would be in chaos."

"Even if he intends to return, his heart is too kind, and he doesn't have the ability to kill decisively. The Shennong tribe has declined."

……

Hearing Chi You's words, Lin Feng was filled with emotions. Who would have thought that Shen Nong, the second ancient emperor of China, was once the co-lord of the world.

Is the eldest son of heaven.

Even the Yellow Emperor and Chi You were Shennong's subordinates, and they had to listen to Shennong's orders.

Lin Feng asked, "Senior, Shennong searched for herbs and grains for the sake of the common people. Doesn't this mean that he is weak?"

Historical records.

Shennong's life.

They are all benefiting the common people and looking for a better way of light for mankind!
In ancient times, human beings were born, aged, sick and died, and many of them could hardly live to middle age. Aren’t the medicinal herbs for curing diseases and the food to satisfy the hunger?

The resentment in Chi You's eyes became more and more intense, and he said with a heavy voice, "Shen Nong did not make mistakes in searching for herbs and food, but because of his neglected political achievements, this world has become torn apart. Countless people of all ethnic groups died in the In the midst of internal strife, their lives were all lost because of Shennong."

Unspoken.

Shennong can be a master of medicine or a farmer, but his primary task is to rule and unite all ethnic groups.

However, is the generation of Emperor Yan of Shennong really as unbearable as Chi You said?
Time flows faster.

Its daybreak.

The red sun in the east rose slowly, shining brightly, illuminating the earth.

Chi You and Lin Feng both looked to the east.

A tall and thin figure was striding towards him from the east. Behind him, the sky was filled with red light, as if he was carrying a halo of a god.

"Young man, this is Shennong!" Chi You said.
