Savage Secret

() I don't know how I got home, anyway, when I woke up, I was lying on my bed.His head was dizzy and painful, his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and the alcohol hadn't passed.After getting up, washing my face and brushing my teeth, I thought about what Lao Niu and the others said last night and the map, and I couldn't help feeling puzzled, because I was sure that I had definitely seen the weird sun bird pattern drawn with a red pen on the map.

The sun god bird has a very big background: the ancients were not very civilized, and many tribesmen were afraid of the sky, fire and even various unclear things in the world. Worship as a god, so totems are produced.In ancient times, people who couldn't guarantee food and clothing were undoubtedly looking forward to light and heat, so there were many tribes who regarded the sun, a big fireball, as a totem.A thing has been rumored for a long time, and there are various myths corresponding to it. In ancient China, the most famous myths about the sun are Fusang and Jinwu carrying sun.

Hibiscus is the name of a shrub, also called hibiscus or hibiscus, and it still exists in some places.The ancients said that hibiscus grows in the sun, not that the hibiscus grows in the sun or the phoenix tree grows in the sun. What I guess is that in the calm and beautiful sea in the east, there is a small island that cannot be reached by ordinary people. There are countless huge hibiscus trees growing on it. And these hibiscus trees are just in front of the rising sun, looking from a distance, it looks like the sun rising from the hibiscus trees, and the legend of the sun rising from the hibiscus trees comes from this.Or there are no hibiscus trees at all, and what people see is just a small island that looks like a hibiscus tree.

The last conjecture is: there may not be any hibiscus trees or small islands like hibiscus trees at all. The ancients handed down that the sun came out of the east, not the sun out of the hibiscus. In the process of passing it on, it was wrongly passed on.A sentence has been told by countless people, and everyone added a little bit of oil and vinegar to exaggerate its myth. It is not surprising that "ri out of the East" was passed down as "ri out of Fusang".After all, the hibiscus out of the sun is even more thought-provoking. Think about how the rising red sun shines on the colorful and colorful hibiscus flowers.

What's more: People in ancient times didn't understand how the round sun flew high in the sky, so the wizards in charge of the sacrifices racked their brains to continue the story of the sun coming out of Fusang, saying that they saw it with their own eyes. There are golden crows flying in the sun, and it is the golden crow that carries the sun on its back and turns around in the sky. This is where the legend of the golden crow carrying the sun comes from.In order to prove that the golden crow in the sun is different from the crows in the world, the wizards said that the crows they saw had three legs or one leg, and the three-legged golden crow and the one-legged Bifang bird in Chinese mythology came from this.Wizards go to great lengths to make up stories, nothing more than to prove that they are different and can see things that ordinary people can't see, which is almost the same as the divine right of kings.

Totem worship of the sun has been found all over the world. From China to Maya, from Egypt to Greece, almost every nation has legends about the sun god.The Greek god of the sun is Helius. He has a radiant sun around his head, and he drives a chariot drawn by four horses with wings.However, Helius's character is very bad. Relying on his own car, when he has nothing to do, he looks for women everywhere. In the end, he has a lot of children and wives at home, and he looks like a playboy, which is very unlikable.Those Greek poets of later generations simply gave his title and his car to Apollo, who was relatively more upright than him, so now Greece respects Apollo as the sun god, and few people mention Helius anymore.

The Chinese sun god Xihe is a woman, and she is definitely beautiful, but there is no way to verify the year of her birth and death.Xihe is Dijun's wife, and the name Dijun only appears in the Shan Hai Jing. Some people think that Dijun is Fuxi. I have always been skeptical about this, because the ancients pay attention to the right family, and they all think that Snow White is It should be with Prince Charming. We don’t know if Fuxi, the first ancestor of China, was Prince Charming when he was a young man. Anyway, later experts made him the husband of the sun god Xihe.

Xi He and Di Jun gave birth to ten sons in total, none of these ten sons were ordinary people, but all of them were radiant suns.Xihe let the ten sons of the sun go to work in turn, and each sun only worked three days a month, and his life was like that of a civil servant now!But one day, just for fun, the ten suns ran into the sky together on a whim. As a result, the world was scorched and people panicked. After that, there was the story of Houyi sheri that everyone knows.

In short, whether it is a three-legged golden crow or a one-legged Bifang bird, they are directly related to the light and flame symbolized by the sun, and they are also an object of worship by the ancients.In Chinese mythology, the Golden Crow is synonymous with the sun, and the sun also relies on the Golden Crow to fly to the sky.After thinking about all the things related to the sun bird in my memory, I quickly rummaged through the box and turned out the yellow notebook that my grandfather left me, and opened it again with great excitement: the first The drawing on the page is the pattern of the sun god bird. Four flying god birds surround a sun, which is exactly the same as the pattern in Li Yongsheng's hand.

But this pattern is quite different from ancient Chinese myths and legends, because it shows four golden crows revolving around a sun, which does not conform to traditional Chinese mythology. Are these golden crows still underage?Or is it the totem of other nations?Or is it implying something?The pattern on the map in Li Yongsheng's hand is the same as that drawn in my notebook. Does he have any direct or indirect connection with the owner of the notebook?But I didn't think too much about it. The Chinese nation has a vast land and rich resources, and its culture has a long history. Maybe it's really a coincidence!

"Tie Yan!" The old cow's cry came from outside the door.

I stuffed the notebook under the bed and ran out to open the door for the old cow. Today, Da Dan is no longer barking at them like yesterday. Dogs are smart, and they have deep memories when they see each other!After the old cow entered the door, he threw the bone in his hand to the Great Dane. When the Great Dane saw it, he wagged his tail happily and gnawed on the bone.I looked at Lao Niu with a look of surprise: "Lao Niu, are these the dog bones we left over from last night?".

The old cow smiled and said: "It's okay, this kind of beast doesn't know!" I shook my head and cursed the old cow for being so fucking wicked.

In the room, as soon as the four of us sat down while smoking, the old cow asked me: "Tie Yan, what did you think about what I told you last night? Don't miss this opportunity. If you don't miss it again, what do you want?" Grasp it! Brother, I’m going to see your idea now!” After a pause, he stared at me and said to me: “I’m very friendly, but if anyone dares to block my way of making money, I won’t let you Who's going to be better off!" That way, it's like putting on a look: If you go, you have to go, if you don't go, you have to go, otherwise, I'll kill you, you little bastard.

Li Yongsheng spread out a brand new map of Shennongjia he brought with him on the table next to us, and took out a red number pen to draw slowly along the boundary line of the mountains. With the movement of the red number pen, four The patterns of divine birds that seemed to be flying through the clouds and fog were outlined one by one. My eyeballs almost dropped when I saw this miraculous scene. What surprised me even more was that he then drew the outlines among the divine birds again. Make a rotating sun pattern!

Sun bird?How can this be?Surprised, I took the map out of the room, trying to see through the magic scene through the strong light outside: what I had in my hand was an ordinary map of Shennongjia, and Li Yongsheng did not play any tricks. The outline of the mountain range under the marker pen is clearly visible, but he has drawn four divine birds facing each other. The sun in the middle is also drawn along the mountain line in sequence, but some places need to be connected.Why does the mountain range of Shennongjia present such a strange pattern of the sun bird?Could it be that there are really hidden secrets hidden in it?

Half a day later, I came back to my senses from the weird figure of the sun bird, and my hesitation turned into inexplicable excitement. I simply asked Li Yongsheng and Lao Niu directly: "When will we enter the mountain?"

When Lao Niu heard my words, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. He held my hand tightly and said to me: "Comrade Tie Yan, congratulations! Congratulations to you, after a hard and complicated ideological struggle, Finally, you have returned to the camp of the proletarian people! I hope you will carry on the past and join us in fighting for gold and beautiful women, and completely conquer the enemy Shennongjia!"

I smiled wryly, and responded to Lao Niu: "Comrade Lao Niu, your teachings make me very ashamed. I will definitely work hard to learn the spirit of the revolutionary predecessors who are not afraid of sweating and bleeding, so as to improve our lives to a higher level." , add dozens of digits to the back of our bank passbooks, resolutely fight to the end those stubborn ghosts and snakes in Shennongjia, dig them out from the deep mountains and old forests, and let them serve the proletarian people like us!"
