Speaking of this, some people must think that the Sioux tribe who came to the Northeast should be Mr. Hu San, right?
But in fact, the branch that came to the Northeast was not entirely Mr. Hu San's branch, because they split again.
As for the reason for the split, Tu Jiuying didn't tell me anything. He just said that the branch that came to the Northeast split into two families, and one branch went south to Hong Kong and Nanyang, which is the fox fairy worship that is now prevalent in Hong Kong and Nanyang.
In other words, the fox fairies in Thailand and Hong Kong are actually descended from the Suhu tribe, and their origins are actually in China.
The other branch has remained in the Northeast, that is, the lineage of Mr. Hu San.
But no one expected that this branch in the Northeast would fight again and split again...
The things Tu Jiuying said simply overturned my three views and cognition, and I was even more mesmerized when I listened to it, but she stopped here.
So I quickly asked: "Fairy, the fox tribe of the Sioux tribe split again in the Northeast. So what did they divide into?"
Tu Jiuying slowly shook his head and said to me: "I can only tell you that they split into four branches and fought with each other. Later, one family combined with shamanism to form the current Chuma Xian. The second family went to the Central Plains, and Taoism merged and became the protector gods of Taoism, while some scattered and went to Buddhism.”
I couldn't help but think of the legends about the Hu family's great masters. As we all know, the Hu family's eldest grand master, Hu Tianzu, and the second grand master, Hu Tiannan, both died on the battlefield during the Conferring God War and were later conferred as gods.
Then, Mr. Hu San began to lead the world to produce immortals. It was not until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs that it became increasingly prosperous.
According to Tu Jiuying, the Xianjia in the Northeast became what it is today precisely because of its combination with shamanism and then its gradual evolution.
I couldn't help but ask: "According to this timeline, the Great Master Hu and the Second Master Hu in the Northeast branch both died in the Conferred God War during the Conferred God War. In other words, they went In the Northeast, it should be before the Zhou Dynasty, during the Shang Dynasty?"
Tu Jiuying shook his head: "I don't know the specific era, but it must have been during the Xia and Shang Dynasties. At that time, the human race and the demon race had already begun to have differences, which also led to the division of various tribes."
I thought about it and asked again: "So, this branch of the Suhu tribe went to the Northeast during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and then settled in Changbai Mountain?"
Tu Jiuying smiled: "Yes, but the name is wrong. At that time, Changbai Mountain was not called Changbai Mountain, but Bulian Mountain."
"Buxianshan..."
I muttered it in a low voice and then suddenly remembered: "So the Buxian Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is Changbai Mountain?"
Tu Jiuying nodded: "Exactly, Buxian Mountain is the legendary sacred mountain."
My heart was slightly shaken: "So, the things in Shan Hai Jing are actually true?"
Tu Jiuying smiled: "Of course it is true, but it is not entirely correct. After all, people's knowledge was limited at that time, but the Book of Mountains and Seas does record a real ancient era."
I felt that a door to my world view had been opened again. After a moment of silence, Tu Jiuying continued to talk.
"Back then, there was this branch of the Sioux tribe. They went all the way to Bulham Mountain in order to settle down and take root there. However, I didn't expect that conflicts would arise later and they would split into four families."
"As a result, the original fox clans were scattered all over the place, and they no longer had their former glory. In ancient times, the fox was a symbol of auspiciousness, and it was one of the four auspicious beasts alongside the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn. But as the fox clan declined, it later became synonymous with monsters."
"The reason is that although some fox tribes behave badly, the fox tribe has multiplied a lot and is everywhere. They even intermarried with the human race and gave birth to half-human and half-demon children. Perhaps it is because of this that the noble fox tribe gradually became more popular. The clan has fallen to the altar. It is no longer auspicious in people's eyes, but a monster that brings disaster to the country and the people, and a monster that harms people everywhere."
When Tu Jiuying said this, his eyes showed endless sadness and regret, as well as helplessness and sighs.
I was also quite moved in my heart. There were two points in her words that revealed the truth about the contradiction between the human race and the fox race.
The first is that the fox race has multiplied a lot, which obviously threatens the survival space of the human race. Moreover, dragons, phoenixes and unicorns are rare in number and are rare for ordinary people to see, so they naturally respect them. But the fox tribe is everywhere, so what’s so strange about it?
The second is that some scum among the Fox clan are causing trouble in the world, such as Su Daji, who deceived King Zhou and caused harm to the country and the people. This is also known to everyone. Moreover, the Fox clan is good at enchantment, and has not had a good reputation from ancient times to the present.
So I changed the topic and asked again: "Fairy, you just said that the first family is the current Northeast Chuma Fairy, and the second family is integrated with the Central Plains Taoism, so what about the third and fourth families?"
Tu Jiuying didn't answer this time, he just tilted his head and looked at me, smiling calmly.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
To be honest, I really wanted to know, but for some reason, after hearing her tone, I suddenly felt shocked. Even in my dream, my heartbeat suddenly started to speed up, and my face started to feel hot.
In the dark, there seemed to be a voice reminding me: Don’t ask, don’t ask, don’t ask!
So I hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
Tu Jiuying seemed to have expected that I would not dare to ask further questions, and sighed softly.
"Actually, these two families are quite special. It's not something you can understand now. Don't ask or don't listen, which is the best. If you have the chance in the future, maybe you will learn about their news and stories, but now, you know These are enough. The only thing I can tell you is that the world thinks that Hu Huang's statement that he cannot pass Shanhaiguan is a rule set by the Manchu emperor. In fact, this is only one aspect. The real reason is the result of the four-party struggle of this tribe. Of course, now that times have passed and the world has changed, this rule is no longer allowed."
I felt goosebumps all over my body when I heard it. The voice in the dark seemed to be telling me: I can’t listen any more, and I can’t ask any more questions.
So I calmed down and changed the topic.
"In that case, why did you, Fairy, leave the Tushan Fox Clan and come to a small town in the northeast?"
Tu Jiuying seemed to have calmed down, and seemed to be recalling the past, staring at the peach blossoms in trance.
After a moment, she said softly: "Many people think that the Tushan Fox Clan has long since escaped from the world. In fact, every seven years, someone from the Tushan Fox Clan will go down the mountain to join the world, walk around the world for a few months, and then go back."
"About sixty years ago, I left Tushan on the order of the clan leader. I was away for more than three months with an old servant at home. When I was about to return to the mountain, I happened to encounter a black fox demon who was harming people."
