Don't say my script is fake.

Chapter 195 The four ferocious beasts - Taotie!
The beam of light shot up into the sky, majestic and surging.

The pure white light poured into the endless black clouds. It was as if it gently waved its hand, and the dark clouds that originally filled the sky and even seemed to be pressing down on the sky all dissipated.

On Tushan Mountain, the evil spirit that was originally planning to compete with the Measuring Ruler and even try to destroy it seemed to be restrained by some natural enemy.

There were sobbing and whimpering sounds.

Very uncomfortable.

Extremely painful.

And in that column of light, the shape of a large tripod slowly emerged.

It was a three-legged round tripod with mountains, rivers, rare treasures and other objects on it. It was made entirely of bronze and was not very big, only about four meters high.

But... when this big tripod appeared.

When the tripod floated within everyone's sight.

Everyone felt it. It was heavy and majestic, as endless as the earth, with no end in sight.

It floats gently, as if the earth is floating in the air.

What is this feeling? What is this feeling of my heart beating uncontrollably?

——Qingzhou Ding!!!

This is the legendary Qingzhou Ding! ! ! !

My heart was beating as if it was about to explode.

"Teacher, that is the Qingzhou Ding, that is the legendary Qingzhou Ding."

"I saw it. I never thought that I would see the Qingzhou Ding one day in my life. I have no regrets in this life, no regrets in this life!"

The deputy headmaster of the Confucian school watched from the side and murmured in a low voice: "Fortunately, I followed here, otherwise, if I missed this moment, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"

This is one of the Nine Cauldrons, the Qingzhou Cauldron, which symbolizes the land of the human race!

Just like other people's heart beats faster when they see the imperial seal, and they feel that they are destined by heaven to live forever as long as they grab it, the Nine Cauldrons are more important than the imperial seal.

The imperial seal is just a legacy of the country, but this is Kyushu, the real Kyushu!
It's impossible to refuse!

In fact, the imperial seal was essentially a substitute made because Qin Shihuang did not get the Nine Cauldrons.

Well, although the legend goes that when Qin Shihuang was on tour and encountered a storm, he threw the imperial seal into the water to stop the storm, and then the imperial seal was sent back.

However, an object as heavy as the Jiuzhou Ding fell into the lake and could not be fished out.

Even though it's outrageous, it's just a legend, so it doesn't matter.

The Qingzhou Ding appeared. The Ding, which symbolized the earth of the human race, slowly turned. Enormous power came out of nowhere. Although it was not the kind of earth-shaking feeling that would shock the whole world in an instant, the demonic energy was contained.

The evil energy was so rampant that even the Tushan Fox Clan could not contain it despite their best efforts. They were completely powerless in front of the Qingzhou Ding.

After suppressing the evil spirit, the Qingzhou Ding slowly fell down.

The towering bone tree did not want to retreat and even grew upwards.

The towering bone tree seemed to be gradually turning into a giant palm.

This big palm is trying to compete with the Qingzhou Ding.

Is this an attempt to lift up the Qingzhou Ding?
Hold up the Qingzhou Ding?
Supporting one-ninth of the human race?
Can the remaining body of Chi You do it?
The two sides collided and a dull sound was heard, as if something heavy was hitting the Qingzhou Ding.

Then silent waves spread, and everyone couldn't help but raise their hands to block the storm.

Then, they saw that the towering bone tree was in a stalemate with the Qingzhou Ding!

The towering bone tree actually held up?
Supported the weight of the Qingzhou Ding?
"Little Leaf! Take action! Hold it down!"

Mu Lao's voice rang in Ye Feng's mind, and Ye Feng reacted belatedly.

"is teacher!"

He stretched out his hand, and runes lit up in the center of his palm.

"Qingzhou Cauldron!"

The three-legged cauldron suddenly emitted light, echoing the runes in Ye Feng's palm.

In the sky, the blue magic light turned into a spiral, and a pattern of the earth lit up in the sky.

It was a map of the territory.

That picture represents the land of Qingzhou!

The earth pressed down, and although there was not a very strong aura, it still made people tremble in their hearts.

A rumbling sound echoed in my mind, and the air waves swept in all directions, causing the entire Tushan to shake.

Cracks appeared on the palm that had been transformed from bones. A crisp snapping sound rang in the ears. Cracks appeared and spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Densely packed, as dense as a spider web.

then
"--boom!!!!"

Under the huge sound waves, the towering bone tree turned into pieces!

The evil spirit was completely suppressed!

The power of Chi You's remaining body was suppressed by the Qingzhou Ding!

The evil spirit dissipated, and the entire Tushan became completely clean again.

"Is it over?"

Tu Shanhong looked at the calming scene and murmured something in a low voice.

She seemed to have thought of something and stepped forward immediately.

"Auntie!"

Under that bone tree, there are many powerful men from the Tushan Fox Clan!
They used their own magic power and life essence to forcibly seal off the evil spirit.
"Aunt, are you okay? How are you? Are you okay?"

"Aunt, you..."

Tu Shanhong was about to say something, but was surprised to see this.

Those beautiful women who looked to be in their thirties or forties were actually becoming old at this moment. It was as if their vitality had been taken away. Wrinkles, crow's feet, and age spots were gradually appearing on them.

they
Getting old! ?
An old woman laughed and opened her eyes.

"Ahem. It seems that we still have some ability to suppress it for so long and still be alive. I admire myself."

"Aunt, aunt."

Tu Shanhong's eyes were a little red, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, seeming to be unable to accept it.

But the old woman shook her head: "What are you doing? Hong'er's expression is not okay."

"You should be happy. We are still alive. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

“——But.”

You have all become like this!
"The vitality of the little leaves has been forcibly extracted. I'm afraid they won't be able to live long."

Mr. Mu said this in Ye Feng’s mind.

Although I still can't remember who I am or what happened in the past, my eyesight is still there.

Mu Lao could see that the vitality of this group of people was almost dried up.

If a river is used to describe the capacity of life, then water is lifespan. When the water dries up, lifespan also comes to an end.

Moreover, the remains of Chi You are really cruel. It is not just a matter of draining away the life and replenishing the water when there is no water left, but what if the river is blocked as well?

Haha, no matter how much water you pour in, it won’t fit.

"The remains of Chiyou are truly a terrifying thing."

This was definitely Mu Lao's sigh from the bottom of his heart. The deputy head of the Confucian School watched this scene silently and sighed softly.

The remains of Chi You caused such great harm as soon as it appeared. This time it happened in Tushan, and Tushan spent so much energy to suppress it. If it appeared in the human territory, how much energy would the human race have to spend to suppress it?

This is a huge threat!

The deputy head of the Confucian School came to Ye Feng and asked, "Friend Ye, did King Yu tell us the whereabouts of the remaining remains of Chi You?"

"Never."

Ye Feng shook his head.

King Yu might know where the remaining remains of Chiyou were, but he would never tell it.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, this kind of secret, the better.

The most King Yu could tell Ye Feng was how to control the Nine Cauldrons and how to suppress the remains of Chi You. Everything else seemed impossible.

"Yes, I was a little abrupt. I will tell the headmaster about this matter, and the cultivation world must also prepare quickly."

"The sudden riot of Chiyou's remains makes it hard not to wonder if there is some secret behind it."

Ye Feng nodded silently.

Then he walked up to the old ladies.

They looked at Ye Feng and all laughed.

"You are worthy of being the one chosen by King Yu. This time, it's all thanks to you."

Ye Feng did not dare to be arrogant, and directly bowed and said: "It is because I am late that you seniors have suffered."

"No problem, no problem. This is nothing to us. We were already prepared when we were suppressing the remains of Chi You here."

"It's just a worthy death."

A worthy death?

Ye Feng was silent, he didn't know what to say.

Tushan said that they would never pay attention to the human race again, but the greatest enemy of the human race, Chiyou, was suppressed under Tushan. For countless years, they had never thought of giving up the suppression, had never thought of leaving here, and had never even thought of releasing Chiyou.

Maybe it was because of the presence of Emperor Xuanyuan, or maybe it was because of the presence of King Yu Dayu, but no matter what it was, the Tushan Fox Clan suppressed the remains of Chiyou for so long on behalf of the human race.

Even until now, when Chiyou's remains were rioting, they risked their own lives and held on until the final success.

This is a debt owed by the human race. The human race owes the Tushan fox clan!
"Don't be sad, Ye Feng. There are some things that we old guys have to talk to you about."

"Although we are not sure why the remains of Chiyou rioted, we do have a guess."

"This may be the reason why the remains of Chiyou are rioting."

"We speculate that it might be Taotie, one of the four great beasts, that has moved."

The vitality of the old women had been completely drained away, but even so, they still spoke clearly and their eyes were bright, as if they had not suffered any harm.

They said another word that Ye Feng had never heard before.

The four ferocious beasts.

But Ye Feng had never heard of it, but Tu Shanhong had.

The four fierce beasts are the four fierce beasts in legend.

"Aunt, are you telling the truth? Did the four fierce beasts move?"

"This is just our guess."

The aunts smiled and said, "Maybe it's true, maybe it's false. We don't want the four fierce beasts to move, but if it is the four fierce beasts, then maybe there is still a chance to solve it."

"Having eyebrows is better than having no eyebrows, isn't it?"

"hehe."

The four fierce beasts are ferocious beasts in legend. They are extremely powerful. Each one of them is a clan. They possess the power to destroy the world and are unpredictable. They once brought endless disasters and sufferings to the human race.

It is an existence that kills humans after the rise of humans.

Of course, this is the mythical version.

Are there four evil spirits in history? Probably yes.

But they are not in the form of ferocious beasts, but human beings.

It's just that the murderer has replaced the person.

The Four Evils are four evil gods who were exiled to the four directions by Emperor Shun in ancient times in mythology. They are recorded in "Zuo Zhuan" and "Records of the Grand Historian".

But the contents they recorded are not exactly the same.

"Zuo Zhuan: Duke Wen's Eighteenth Year" says, "Shun served Yao and entertained him at the four gates. He banished the four evil tribes, Hun Dun, Qiong Qi, Tao Wu and Tao Tie, and threw them to the four corners of the country to ward off evil spirits."

The record in "Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of the Five Emperors" is: Emperor Hong's incompetent son "Hundun", Shaohao's incompetent son "Qiongqi", and Zhuanxu's incompetent son "Yaowu" are collectively called the "Three Evils", and together with Jinyun's incompetent son "Taotie", they are collectively called the "Four Evils".

Combined with ethnological theory, it is speculated that the original appearance of the Four Evils should be the chiefs of four tribes. They were dissatisfied with the rule of Emperor Shun and were exiled by him.

The four evil beasts may be the totems of the four tribes.

The Taotie is one of the four most ferocious beasts, both in terms of popularity and legend.

In fantasy novels, if you don’t have Taotie, it will be incomplete.

Even many protagonists like to use the blood of Taotie and its abilities to strengthen themselves when they start to rise.

Well, that’s actually true.

Taotie's abilities are truly amazing.

In ancient mythology and legends, the biggest characteristic of Taotie is its ability to eat.

It is an imaginary mysterious entity without a body.

Because he ate so much that he ate his own body.

It had only a big head and a big mouth, and was very greedy. It ate whatever it saw. It ate too much and finally died of overeating.

It is a symbol of greed, so it is often used to describe gluttonous or greedy people.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Northern Mountains says: "There is a lot of jade on the Gouwu Mountain, and a lot of copper below. There is a beast there, which looks like a sheep with a human face, with eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and sounds like a baby. It is called the 狍鸮, and it eats people."

According to the Jin Dynasty's annotations to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the roe owl mentioned here refers to Taotie.

In the "Shenyijing Xihuangjing" it is said: "Taotie is the name of a beast, with a body like an ox, a human face, eyes under the armpits, and it eats people."

"Zuo Zhuan: Duke Wen's Eighteenth Year" says: "Jin Yun's family has an untalented son who is greedy for food and drink, and is greedy for bribes. He indulges in luxuries and is never satisfied. He accumulates wealth without knowing how to set limits. He does not distinguish between the orphans and the widows, and does not care about the poor and the needy. The people of the world compare him to the three evils and call him Taotie."

In fact, there is also a little-known fact.

Because of its ferocious and terrifying appearance and bad reputation, it is almost impossible to find any trace of Taotie in the evolution of culture and art.

But in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, animal patterns that had been popular for hundreds of years suddenly withdrew from the field of main decorative patterns on bronze ware, while Taotie patterns became very popular.

In the Bronze Age, Taotie was the king and the pattern that everyone liked.

Only later did the dragon, tiger, unicorn and phoenix slowly rise up.

As for why Mr. Bai wanted to pull out Taotie at this time
This is because according to legend, Taotie was the resentment of the head of Chiyou that was cut off after his defeat by Yanhuang. It had the ability to devour everything, so it was sealed by Huangdi with the Xuanyuan Sword and guarded by the lion clan for generations.

Of course, myths and legends are just myths and legends. The previous one was the period of Emperor Shun, and now it has become the era of Chi You.

But it doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about how it came about. The legend just exists.

And Mr. Bai was only responsible for spreading this legend.

The embodiment of Jiuli's resentment, one of the four ferocious beasts.

gluttonous!
