During this trip to the Taiyi Immortal Realm, Ye Feng not only got the final materials he needed, but also got some good news.
The first is the purpose of the Yin family's "advertising" by writing to friends, which is that big event. Of course I won’t write it down here, I’ll talk about it when the time is right.
Secondly, Ye Feng verified some things about the twelve zodiac guards,
We all know that there are twelve zodiac signs. This is nonsense. They are: Rat, Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Chen Dragon, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Sheep, Shen Monkey, and Unitary Rooster. , Xu dog, Hai pig. It stands to reason that there should be twelve family surnames, namely: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.
But the strange thing is that there are only six aristocratic families in the Taiyi Immortal World: Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu.
What's interesting is that the Emperor of Daxia only had six zodiac signs in his zodiac. In addition to the six surnames in the Taiyi Immortal Realm, the remaining six were Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hailiu. Home.
To explain this, we need to talk about something a little further.
When Ye Feng's master Mu Yuzhen was still the Heavenly Emperor Chao Yuzhen, the name of Taiyi Immortal World at that time was called "Immortal World", and the core force was Lingxiao Palace. However, that was not Song Yanci's Lingxiao Palace now. oh.
At the same time, that period was also the time when the Great Xia Dynasty was at its peak. On the territory of the six overseas continents, they were not yet across the sea from the Middle-earth Divine Continent, but were a land plate bordering them.
At that time, the strength of the human world was not much worse than that of the immortal world, and the Great Xia Dynasty was not a vassal of Lingxiao Palace. As we said before, if two powerful and different beings have a huge difference in strength but still coexist, then the two have a subordinate relationship. But if there is not much difference between the two, then the relationship must be one of competition and cooperation.
Perhaps you cannot understand how the human world can be compared to the fairy world. By now, you should have realized that the Emperor of Heaven is the Supreme of Heaven and Earth, but not the Supreme of Man. The Emperor of Heaven is. As the third party between heaven and earth, humans are aliens and have the power to compete with heaven and earth. Because humans are not weak in nature, the Emperor of Daxia, as the supreme human being, naturally had the strength to compete with the Emperor of Heaven. .
This is also reflected in real history. That was the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty and the last human emperor in history, Emperor Xin. After Emperor Xin, all emperors claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was also the son of the Emperor of Heaven. You must know that Di Xin is the Emperor of the Nine-Nine Humans, a being who can sit on an equal footing with the Emperor of Heaven, while the emperors of later generations are just the Nine-Nine Emperors, beings who are inferior to heaven and earth. If you say you are the grandson of the Emperor of Heaven, no one will object. After all, whether you are the son or grandson of the Emperor of Heaven, it cannot change the fact that you are a slave.
The Human Emperor represents the entire human race, that is, the supreme being of the entire human world. He is on an equal footing with the Emperor of Heaven in terms of status. The status of the major gods is lower than that of the Human Emperor.
"The Romance of the Gods" says that Emperor Xin went to Nuwa Temple to offer incense and slandered Nuwa. This is actually problematic. Emperor Xingui is the human emperor, why does he want to offer incense to a god whose "status is lower than himself"? The reason why Emperor Xin went was because the old minister Shang Rong told Emperor Xin about Nuwa's achievements in mending the sky and creating humans. Emperor Xin went to offer incense to show respect for her achievements. This is actually very good. Now, when a famous person bows to another person, he will be hacked by someone with ulterior motives, giving him a sense of deja vu.
"The Romance of the Gods" says that Emperor Xin offended Nuwa by writing obscene poems. Please remember that offense is used from the inferior to the superior, not from the superior to the inferior. Let's assume that what happened in "The Romance of the Gods" is true. Emperor Xingui is the emperor, so how can we offend him? Moreover, Di Xin gave Nuwa enough face by letting her serve him.
Putting this matter to the present, it is like, you are the chairman of a large company, and you see a female employee of the enemy company opposite is working very hard, so you say to her, "Come, be my wife, and I will give you delicious food and spicy food." of."
But this female employee backhandedly sued you, saying you were sexually harassed and spread the news wantonly.
I have to say that this female staff member is somewhat ungrateful and blind.
. . .
But it is strange that the Daxia Dynasty and Lingxiao Palace did not have a war between the human world and the immortal world. Instead, they secretly cooperated with each other for a long time. The reason is also very simple, because they have a common enemy, an enemy that they can never compete with alone, which is the "heaven" in Ye Feng's mouth. So they must join forces, and in order to avoid being discovered, they can only cooperate secretly.
One of the manifestations of secret cooperation is that these twelve families
These families, the Zi family and the Chou family, the Yin family and the Mao family, the Chen family and the Si family, the Wu family and the Wei family, the Shen family and the You family, and the Xu family and the Hai family, have been related by marriage for generations, so Yin Shanshan is called Maoyuetong. That's why my aunt. In the fairy world, the six great families of Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu guard the fairy world, while the six families of Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai guard the human world that is "hostile" to the fairy world. Therefore, in the immortal world, the six great families of Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu can express their allegiance to the Emperor of Lingxiao Palace, while the six families of Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, You, and Hai can only act in their respective ways. Under the in-law family, hiding in the dark, they can only officially appear when the human world and the fairy world raise the flag of rebellion against "Heaven" at the same time.
This is the relationship between "light and shadow". For example, the Yin family and the Mao family are the light and shadow families. The Mao family, who lives in the shadow, naturally cannot see the light. That’s why Mao Yuetong can’t tell Yin Shanshan the identity of “Mao Tu”
Because the twelve titles of "Zi Rat, Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Chen Dragon, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Sheep, Shen Monkey, Unitary Rooster, Xu Dog, and Hai Pig" are inherited from generation to generation, and these The title represents the inheritance and continuation of this history.
It's a pity that because of Chao Yuzhen's "disqualification as the Emperor of Heaven", before Chao Yuzhen fell, when he chose the half-step true ancestors of the seven pillars of the Immortal Realm, he should have given priority to Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and others who were loyal to him. It is the choice among the six great families in Xu. But Chao Yuzhen did not. Instead, he chose from among the human, god, demon, demon, ghost and other races in the human world. On the one hand, it may be out of guilt and compensation for tearing apart the human world. On the other hand, it may be because of Song Yanci, which caused Chao Yuzhen to no longer trust the people of the immortal clan.
This has also led to the fact that today's Taiyi Immortal Realm and the Human Realm are no longer as simple as the previous secret cooperation, but are extremely complex and treacherous.
However, these things have long become a thing of the past, and now only a very small number of old monsters and people with twelve titles know about it, and what they know is not the complete version.
When Ye Feng went to Jiuzhou Library for the first time, he saw through the information from Mu Yuzhen, and today he completely verified the authenticity of that piece of information.
