Tribute to the Demon King

Unexpectedly, the monkey who had been hopping before did not echo.

It just squatted on the ground, staring blankly at Zhou Yi.As if thinking about something.

Zhou Yi didn't care about the dirtiness of the ground, so he sat on the ground directly, crossed his hands and fingers, and said after a little thought: "It is relatively late for Chinese dragons to get the image of snakes. If we want to talk about the commonality between dragons and horses, in ancient Chinese mythology The earliest can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.”

"There is a saying in "Zhou Li" that a horse over eight feet is a dragon, a horse over seven feet is a scorpion, and a horse over six feet is a horse. It is also said that the Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, and Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse, and the white horse was Gun; Cut it open with a Wu knife and turn it into a yellow dragon. Since a long time ago, horses and dragons have been two symbols that can be transformed into each other, and even the early dragon totems are like horses with horns."

Although it is an explanation at the same time, it is different from the previous explanation on avoiding horse plague.This time, Yuri understood Zhou Yi's statement without any difficulty.

The reason for this difference is also very simple.Before, Zhou Yi only told the two of them some fragmentary stories and legends out of personal interest.But now, Zhou Yi is explaining to Wanli Guguang as a teacher and scholar.

The mild and sleepy eyes that were always squinted opened slightly, looking like a sleepy dragon just waking up.

"Then, another part of the reason...will go back to the origin of the ape god."

Zhou Yi said softly, and glanced at the monkey squatting next to him.

The monkey who had been jumping non-stop before had sat down on the ground at some point.Facing Zhou Yi who was also sitting on the ground, staring at him closely.

"……additional?"

Mariya Yuri asked suspiciously.

"That's right. As Monkey King Sun Wukong, the Hero of Steel has gathered various beliefs, but when talking about his mythical essence, we have to mention two gods... that is Huai, who is the prototype of Monkey King. The god of water, Wu Zhiqi, and the monkey god Hanuman who has a deep bond with him."

The monkey sitting next to Zhou Yi gradually fell silent.

Listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, it lowered its head, its eyes flickering.

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then continued: "Wu Zhiqi is a god monkey born in Huaguo Mountain. He calls himself the Huaiwo Water God. He built a dragon palace, married a dragon girl, gave birth to three children and became a prince, each guarding a water area... ...Although it is not an official sacrifice, the Wu family has established temples in the Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys. To be precise, his role as the guardian of dragons and snakes should be before he got the status of steel."

"--enough."

The next moment, the monkey who was jumping happily before suddenly reprimanded in a low voice: "Let's go here."

"...However, on the other half of the bloodline, compared with the Hindu legend of compassion and wisdom, he has more traces of the Taoist practice ape."

When Zhou Yi said this, he paused again, turned his head to look at the silent monkey, and expressed his essence word by word: "The so-called 'teaching the three vehicles ingeniously, the subtlety of all dharmas'... this native water god witch Zhiqi, the Hindu god monkey Hanuman, plus the Taoist legend of the ape who cultivated—what finally came out is the complex godhead of Monkey King Monkey King!"

"—My old grandson told you to stop talking!"

As if enraged by Zhou Yi, the monkey suddenly raised its head, revealing its terrifying red eyes and golden pupils.

Although it was still just an ordinary monkey, the aura emanating from it made Yuri, who was beside him, tremble as if struck by lightning, and backed away again and again!

Author's message:

The textual research is very tiring, but fortunately, I finally learned how to use the microdisk to find information, so I don’t need to go to the library to look through books... But it still hurts to have no index (cover my face)

In addition, today is another update. The good news is that it seems that there will be no more interruptions during this period of time...

But I was so busy years ago... I don’t know if I will be forcibly taken away to meet relatives after the next year, so annoying, annoying, annoying (tears)

Go to bed, good night, kids (Lie down)

Chapter 86 Angry, Sad, and Crazy

"Then you are great."

Looking at the red-eyed and red-faced monkey glaring at him, Zhou Yi smiled instead of being startled, and cheered in a low voice: "You are the best if you beat me to death with a stick."

"You man, you man... Hey, really..."

Watched by Zhou Yi's calm and gentle eyes, the originally angry monkey seemed to be bathed in the bone-piercing cold wind,

The whole body is gradually stiff.

"These things are true! True! But... that name is fine. Don't call me by that name. Now I am just a monkey god, not worthy of it."

The monkey smiled wryly, the sharp light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his back, which was like a standing steel, was bent again.Like a stone statue collapsing, the ferocious monster turned back into a mortal beast again.

Taking another deep look at Zhou Yi, the monkey shook his head in disappointment, and sighed like a human.

"Beautiful or not, hometown water, relatives or not, hometown people. It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land, but unexpectedly he is a debt collector... Let it go. Just pretend that I haven't seen you before, go back."

With his back to Zhou Yi, the monkey stood up staggeringly, shook his hands, then suddenly jumped towards the beam, grabbed the beam, turned over and sat on it, and turned his back to Zhou Yi in a fit of anger. send.

But looking at the awkward monkey, Zhou Yi just shook his head and sighed softly: "I wasted time every day, and endured pain every night... These 400 years have really suffered for you."

Facing Zhou Yi's words, the monkey just turned its back to him and remained motionless.

Every day I wake up from the small stable of less than ten square meters, staring blankly at the rising and setting of the sun outside the house, but I can't get out of it.This is simply... no, for him, this is undoubtedly a prison.

The haunting smell of the bales of hay, the eerie crunch of walking among them, was a constant reminder of what had happened to me.

...Compared with the dream of the past or the reality of today, which one is more cruel to the ape god king?

Looking at the monkey squatting on the beam with its back to him, motionless as if angry, Zhou Yi showed a gentle smile instead.

"Hey, I say, monkey."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Why don't I let you out? Release you from Bi Mawen's seal and release you from the Nether Realm?"

"...There are no dragons now. You idiot."

After enduring it for a long time, the monkey still didn't hold back, and turned his back to Zhou Yi and yelled, "Where's the knife? Where's the dragon? The witch is here, but she alone is far from enough to break the spell."

"I see."
