I see Qingshan

Chapter 44 Inheritance
There are many myths and legends in China. Huangdi and Chiyou also occupy a place in the myths of the past, and there are many versions of them.

In this kind of mythology, there are endless things like the God of Wind and Rain, the magical powers of gods, and even the mythical creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

Tang Xin had a vivid memory of one thing.

Tang Xin asked in surprise, "Chi You, is that the ancestor who rides a panda?"

Zhangzhu was obviously stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Panda?"

Tang Xin: "Yes!"

Zhangzhu said, "I don't know either."

"Okay..." Tang Xin continued, "By the way, Senior Zhangzhu, didn't you just say that Chiyou and Huangdi once worked together to seal away evil ancient creatures like the snake? Then why did Huangdi and Chiyou end up fighting for the throne?"

Whether in the context of mythological stories or real historical materials, the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou has been described in many words.

Zhangzhu: "I was not born in ancient times, so I don't know the reason."

Tang Xin suddenly thought of something and said in disbelief, "It seems like everything is connected to the mountains and the sea. I heard that the three Penglai Islands are a sealed world of mountains and seas... Could it be that even that transformed snake is an ancient mythical creature recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Zhangzhu's words and what she saw and heard during this period seem to be closer to the mythological story in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

At first, Tang Xin did not think in terms of mountain and sea mythology.

But now we have to consider this aspect.

There is indeed a clear record of the transformation into a snake in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The middle two chapters of the Classic of Mountains and Seas contain a detailed description of this ancient creature.

Human face, bird wings, snake-like movements, baby-like voice, brings bad luck.

This was exactly the template of the snake she had ever encountered!
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a transformed snake once caused a devastating flood, which submerged more than 810 towns and villages during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Isn’t this ironclad evidence of the harm done to the world?

Is it that the myths of mountains and seas have invaded reality, or does the world of mountains and seas already exist in reality?
Tang Xin's head was about to smoke.

Zhang Zhu explained, "It's hard for me to discern how later generations recorded things, but I do have some understanding of stories from ancient times."

Tang Xin's eyes were blazing: "Senior, please explain in detail!"

At present, she only knows that the duty of the mountain guardian is to protect the world, but this statement is broad and general, without a very clear concept.

Tang Xin was eager to know the whole story, after all, it concerned her life.

Zhangzhu said slowly, "In ancient times, many powerful creatures beyond imagination were born. At that time, we humans were born with deficiencies. Compared to the powerful ancient creatures, we were mostly weak and bullied."

Tang Xin stood aside, listening quietly without interrupting.

"After this, the Yellow Emperor emerged, possessing many different innate divine powers, such as hope, courage, perseverance, kindness, warmth, tolerance, trust, the past, the future, and love."

Hearing this, Tang Xin seemed to be thinking about something.

These so-called innate divine powers are actually synonyms for beauty one after another.

"Because the Yellow Emperor spread these divine powers across the earth, every human being felt these boundless divine powers, giving humans hope for survival, and these powers were passed down from generation to generation.

After this, human beings experienced explosive growth for the first time and finally occupied a place among the endless mountains and rivers.

Huangdi respected the harmonious coexistence of all things and reached a consensus with many ancient creatures to coexist hand in hand. However, some ancient creatures had different ideas and brought disaster to the world for their own selfish desires. After many years and countless battles, Huangdi and Chiyou joined forces to seal those disruptive ancient creatures in the world of mountains and seas.

But the seal has its cycles. At each point in the cycle, the seal loosens, allowing ancient creatures to escape. The Yellow Emperor had already prepared for this. After his death, various divine powers, led by hope, were distributed throughout the world. The Mountain Guardians are exceptional, perfectly able to control this power. Whenever the seal is on the verge of breaking, the Mountain Guardians rise to the occasion. Our mission is to strengthen the seal and prevent the ancient creatures that escape from the seal from endangering this world.

Tang Xin: "..."

Although Tang Xin didn't quite understand, she was deeply shocked.

Moreover, Tang Xin understood one thing.

Creatures like the black bear seem to be ancient creatures that once lived in harmony with humans, while the snake and the white owl are probably bastards who do evil and should be sealed away!
As for Qin Ying, it was difficult for Tang Xin to judge.

If you want to say good things about him, he forced himself to get the phoenix blood, and if he didn't help, he would kill himself.

But if you say he is evil, it seems that he is not that evil. After all, he saved Zhao Teng.

Zhangzhu looked Tang Xin up and down and said, "The divine power I inherited is the power of the past and the future. New Mountain Guardian, what is your inheritance?"

Tang Xin and Zhang Zhu stared at each other in a slightly awkward atmosphere. "Senior, the power I inherited feels useless..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhu's tone was quite surprised: "There is no such thing as a useless inherited divine power."

Tang Xin: "..."

What does this mean?
There is only a useless mountain keeper???
Tang Xin sighed, "Senior, I can only understand the language of plants and animals. Apart from that, I'm useless. It's really difficult for me to protect the world. Do I have to use both emotional and logical persuasion to educate those ancient creatures who have broken the seal?"

This is very abstract.

Tang Xin's mind was already surfacing. The transformed snake was causing floods everywhere, and she was chasing after it, whispering softly, full of the kindness and patience of an elder: "Good boy, listen to me, what you are doing is wrong..."

Zhangzhu also fell silent.

This ability does sound strange and is really useless.

Zhang Zhu: "Common sense says that this shouldn't happen. Don't worry, I'll go to the past and the future to check."

As Zhangzhu finished speaking, all the starlight enveloped her, as if the world had fallen into chaos, and Zhangzhu became the first ray of light at the creation of the world.

I don’t know how long I spent in the silent starry sky.

The darkness dissipated and the palm bead appeared again.

However, this time, Zhangzhu looked at Tang Xin with shock and surprise.

Although Tang Xin couldn't see Zhang Zhu's face clearly, she could see the look in her star-like eyes.

Being looked at like this by Zhangzhu, Tang Xin felt a little uneasy. Could it be that she really went to the future and saw herself as a loser?
Tang Xin said tremblingly: "Senior, where have you been?"

Zhang Zhu's tone was a bit complicated: "I went to the past and the future and met you."

Tang Xin: "..."

Look at the talent of the mountain keeper, he can travel to the past and the future, what a magical method!
Look at her again?

All I can do is wave and say hello to the animals, saying, "Baby, have you eaten?"

Seeing Zhangzhu's strange expression, Tang Xin became more and more uneasy and asked tentatively: "Senior, I won't die in the future, right?"

Zhangzhu nodded: "You are indeed dead."
