Online Games: Holy Heaven and Divine Beast

I teleported directly and changed my position again...!

"Boom...!" The white holy light was the same as before... it hit the ground directly, forming a huge explosion!

"Boy... get out of here... get away from me... I've actually attracted the power of God... get out of here...!" At this time, the giant demonic vine suddenly yelled crazily at me!

Uh... It's okay if this monster doesn't speak... Now it speaks... Hum... Next time I teleport to you... I'll see if you don't die...!

"Ahem...poof...!" The giant demonic vine beast opened its big mouth and spat out the Ice and Fire Sirius...!

Uh... there's no movement... the holy light in mid-air is no longer coming down... Then I... am fine... Damn... I still want to use this energy to destroy all these magic vines... Now it seems

, is impossible!

"Get out...get out...!" At this time, the giant demonic vine beast still said to me crazily...and its whole body was still trembling...!

Why is this situation happening? What is the guy afraid of? Isn't it okay?

But... this can only be my own thought. At this moment, I suddenly discovered something was wrong... In mid-air, a layer of faint white energy suddenly appeared... just like mist...!

Ah... He's not going to use his ultimate move on me... I didn't dare to delay, so I took the Ice and Fire Sirius directly into the pet space... Now I want to be completely calm, completely throw away all distracting thoughts, and face the situation in the best possible condition.

For this kind of scene...!

I directly closed all call systems, including the reception of private messages... If I were distracted, I would be killed immediately. This kind of attack, which is called the power of God by the giant demon vine beast, is too powerful...!

In fact, I don’t know... After this system maintenance... the monster siege has already begun... And this time I was attacked by the power of God, it was just a medium, that is, a fuse!

After I closed all external contact...the game world has also undergone earth-shaking changes!

A majestic energy appeared in the sky above the entire China area... Four ancient ferocious beasts actually appeared collectively... These four ferocious beasts divided into four directions and began to attack!

Taotie (taotie): one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. The shape of its head is often engraved on ancient bells and tripods as a decoration. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": "The Taotie on Zhou Ding has a head but no body.

"Eating people without swallowing them will cause harm to their bodies, and they will be repaid with words." "Shenyi Jing" #8226; Southwest Huang Jing: "There is a person in the southwest who has a hairy body and wears a pig on his head. He is as greedy as a wolf and is evil. He is good at it.

He accumulates wealth by himself, but does not eat the valley of others. The strong seize the old and the weak. He is afraid of the crowd and singles out others. This is called gluttony."

"Cihai" records: Taotie is "a legendary gluttonous evil beast. The shape of its head is often engraved on ancient bells, tripods and Yi vessels as decoration." When explaining the word "Taotie" in "Cihai", it says: "Taotie" means "greedy".

"Book of Rites and Music": "Greed and gluttony are dangerous." An ancient note by Yan Shi: "Greed is called gluttony." It refers specifically to gluttony."

"Shen Yi Sutra": "There is a man in the southwest who has a hairy body and wears a boar on his head. He is as greedy as ruthless, he accumulates wealth without using it, and he is good at taking other people's grain."

Wealth, but not cannibalism", according to "Historical Records" #8226; "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" (The Chronicles of the Five Emperors), with changes from Zhengyi). The strong take over the old and weak, fearing the strong and single them out, and are called gluttons. "Spring and Autumn" The gluttons are the Jinyun family.

Not a talented person."

"Zuo Zhuan" in the 18th year of Wen Gong says: "The Jinyun family has untalented people who are greedy for food and drink, take risks in bribes, invade and exalt luxury, and cannot get tired of profit; they accumulate wealth and do not know the rules; they do not distinguish. The orphans and widowers are not willing to tolerate poverty. The people of the world compare themselves to the three evils and call them gluttonous." This is what the "Spring and Autumn Annals" of the "Shenyi Jing" call it.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": "Zhou Ding wrote the Taotie, which has a head but no body. It eats people without swallowing them and harms its body, so it is better to repay them with words."

Luo Mi of the Song Dynasty notes in "The Biography of Chi You" in "Lu Shi": "The god of Chi You's celestial talisman has an unusual shape. Among the Yi utensils of the three generations, there are many images of Chi You, which is a warning to the corrupt. His image is in the shape of an animal. , Fu uses meat wings." According to what Kui Qi said, it is almost gluttonous.

"Zuo Zhuan" calls Taotie an "untalented son of the Jinyun family", and "Historical Records": "The Jinyun family has an untalented son who is greedy for food and bribes, and the world calls him Taotie." And "Historical Records" says Jia Xuan is quoted in the anthology of "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" as saying: "The Jinyun family has the surname Jiang, and is a descendant of Emperor Yan. He was an official in Jinyun during the time of the Yellow Emperor." Chiyou's surname was Jiang, who was also a descendant of Emperor Yan ("Lu Shi" amp;#8226; Biography of Chi You"), so Chi You is probably the "untalented" Taotie of the Jinyun family. According to legend, Taotie was the decapitated head of Chi You after he was defeated by Emperors Yan and Huang, and was transformed by the resentment gathered in a different place. It has the ability to devour all things, and was sealed by the Yellow Emperor with the Xuanyuan Sword (a metaphor for the dragon pattern on the sword), and has been guarded by the lion tribe for generations (gatekeeper stone lions). It is also recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" "Owl", Guo Pu annotated that it is the Taotie in "Zuo Zhuan".

"Strange Stories of Gods and Demons": There is an evil beast in the extreme south of China. It has four eyes, black skin, a long neck and four legs. It is ferocious in nature and extremely greedy. It moves as fast as the wind and is a disaster. Dragon water It is a kind of beast with a pair of horns on its head, surrounded by cold air. Most of them are blue-white in color. They are tens of feet long. They are sometimes gentle and sometimes violent. They rise into the air and stir up water waves of several feet, which is extremely powerful.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "The mountain of Gouwu has a lot of jade on the top and a lot of copper on the bottom. There is a beast, which looks like a sheep with a human face, with eyes under the armpits and tiger-like teeth. The claws, whose sound is like that of a baby, are called roe deer owls, and they are cannibals.

"Shenyi Jing" says: "Taotie, the name of the beast, has a body like an ox, a human face, eyes under the armpits, and cannibalism."

Chaos: One of the four ancient ferocious beasts. I have mentioned this before, so I won’t explain it...!

Qiongqi: one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", it means that Qiongqi looks like a tiger with a pair of wings. It likes to eat people and can even eat people's heads. When he started eating, he was a ferocious beast. However, also in the "Shan Hai Jing", an article in the Xishan Jing mentioned another image of Qiongqi. The Qiongqi in the article looked like a cow and had a hedgehog. The hair is very different from the one described in Hai Nei Bei Jing. However, both are ferocious beasts that like to eat people, so there is no difference in this aspect.

In addition, the "Shenyi Jing • Northwest Wilderness Classic" gives a more detailed explanation of Qiongqi. The book records that similar to the Hainei Beijing in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", Qiongqi is still a tiger-like monster with wings. .It specializes in hunting humans on weekdays and can understand human language. When it knows that someone is arguing, it will often eat the loyal people; when it knows that someone is loyal, it will eat that person's nose; when it knows that someone is doing evil If it is not good, it will hunt wild beasts and give them to that person. It is an evil beast with completely reversed concepts of good and evil.

However, some annotators quoted other versions to supplement it. In this version, Qiongqi's image is closer to the Xishan Jing in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", saying that Qiongqi looks like a cow, with a long tail that is like a fox and drags on the ground.

, its bark is like a dog, and it is said to be "dog-headed, human-shaped, with hooked claws and saw teeth."

Whenever they meet a loyal person, they will eat him; when they meet a treacherous person, they will actively hunt wild beasts to worship him. Although the two have very different images, their behaviors are consistent.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the twelve gods who "chased evil spirits" were recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Among them, there is a saying that "Qiongqi takes root and eats poison together". Qiongqi here can drive away poisonous poisons.

It is a mythical beast with a positive image. When Guo Pu was annotating the "Book of Mountains and Seas", he also created a hymn that said "A strange beast, very ugly in appearance; it chases evil spirits, and it all runs away; so it is named after its name, the Divine Dog"

, also pointed out that Qiongqi would perform actions to drive away evil spirits. These actions to eliminate evil for the people are very different from the previous image of eating good and helping evil.

"Shenyi Jing": "There is a beast in the northwest. It looks like a tiger, has wings and can fly. It kills people and knows their words." It is the son of the Western Emperor Shaohao, the famous Qiongqi.

.

Qiongqi is very interesting. When it sees someone fighting, it will eat the upright and reasonable person; when it hears that someone is loyal and honest, it will bite off that person's nose; when it hears that someone has done many evil things, it will kill wild animals and give them as gifts.

. It can be seen that it should be a ferocious beast. However, some books say that it is not that bad. On the day before Laba in ancient times, a ceremony called the banishment of epidemics was held in the palace. Fang Xiangshi led ten

Two strange beasts paraded around. Qiongqi and another strange beast named Tenggen shared the task of eating the poisonous poison, which made people feel that it was still somewhat beneficial to people. After that, the myth was historicized.

The gods and ghosts were also personified, and Qiongqi gradually evolved into one of the four evils in the world, and was finally destroyed by Emperor Shun.

There are two images of Qiongqi as a monster: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says "It looks like a cow and its sound is like a dog"; "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says "

"It looks like a tiger and has wings." But no matter which image it is, it is a man-eating monster, and it has fixed principles. It is roughly quoted from the "Shenyi Jing";

"Language, when it comes to loyal people, bites and eats it, and cannibalism starts from the head; when it comes to evil people, it captures beasts and waits for them." In other words, when good people encounter it, they will turn into food and their heads will be bitten off first, while when bad people encounter it, they will turn into food and their heads will be bitten off first.

Instead, it will get the beasts and the like sent by it as food. It is indeed rare to see such a monster that "clearly distinguishes right from wrong" and takes action.

Taowu (taowu): one of the four ferocious beasts in ancient times. According to "Zuo Zhuan" in the 18th year of Duke Wen: "Zhuan Xu had some untalented students who could not be taught a lesson and did not know what to say. If he told them, he would be stubborn and if he dismissed them, he would be arrogant.

, Arrogant, ruthless and virtuous, with chaos in the sky, the people of the world call him Tao." After his death, this unteachable evil man eventually evolved into a famous magical beast in ancient times. This article also records: "Shun and Yao were guests of the four gates.

, the four evil tribes were exiled to chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taotie, and threw themselves into the four descendants to ward off the evil spirits. "Dun Tongchao. This means that Shun exiled the four evil tribes and used the Taotie to kill Gun. Gun, the father of Yu.

Zhang Shoujie of the Tang Dynasty quoted the "Shenyi Jing" from "Historical Records of Justice" and commented: "There is a beast in the wilderness of the West. It is as big as a tiger, with hair two feet long, a human face, tiger feet, a pig's mouth and teeth, and a tail one foot and eight feet long.

In the midst of the chaos, he is named Yongchu. One is arrogant and ruthless, and the other is difficult to train." He is called Yongchu.——

"Zuo Zhuan amp;#8226; the eighteenth year of Wen Gong". Note: "The ferocious and stubborn appearance is unparalleled."

He is eight feet long and can fight without retreating."

Chu Zhizhao.——"Mencius". Note: "Those who are noisy and fierce are motivated by the commandment to remember evil, so they are named. Ding sounds are also the names of evil beasts."

"Spring and Autumn" says: "Zhuan Xu had an untalented man named Yongchu."

"Mencius • Li Louxia" said: "The Cheng of Jin, the Chu of Chu, and the Spring and Autumn Period of Lu are all one."

, the historical name of Chu is "梼杌".

Four ancient ferocious beasts appeared at the same time... In China, a huge storm was immediately set off... But I, who was so miserable, didn't know that this ancient ferocious beast's siege was entirely caused by me...!

(This chapter is just for everyone to understand, so as not to see the inconsistency in skills mentioned later. Wouldn’t that be boring to watch?)
