The wizard's attitude became very good, and he even seemed a little respectful. When Yu Zai asked him about the name of the ancient sun god, the wizard knew everything he knew.
"The ancient god of fire is back. He wants to ignite the sun's rays and drive away the wind, snow and rain. After all, we have been waiting for the protection of our ancestors."
"The stars have not deceived us, the sun is still watching us!"
The wizard was very excited. After praising Yuzai, the "God of Fire," he also called Yuzai the "Son of the Sun."
Since he is the son of the sun, it is quite normal to want to know the legend of the sun god.
In more ancient times, the sun means "heaven", so the son of the sun is also the son of heaven. Although in later generations, the emergence of emperors and co-lords, as well as the records on stone tablets, weather meters, and bamboo slips, have weakened the divinity in the myth, what this wizard thought was that Emperor Yan was once the co-lord of the world, and his descendants When people come to this abandoned land, light a fire, and do what they do, isn't it the same thing that Shennong did in the past?
So he became more respectful.
Outside Helan Mountain is the Yinchuan River Valley. The tribes living in and around the outer valley were influenced by the Yangshao culture in ancient times. They are basically very similar to the major cultures in the Yellow River region of the Central Plains.
Further north, Liaodi, south-central Inner Mongolia, northeastern and southwestern regions, this area was influenced by the Hongshan Culture.
The wizard told Yuzai that the story about the sun god was a sacrifice that existed at least six thousand years ago. It was an era older than written records. There was no way to know the sun god. What's the name?
The name has long been lost, but the sacrifices have been passed down. Over the long years, since the Paleolithic Age, it is not easy to retain some memories of the past.
“In the past era, the God of Fire did not appear on this land. We offered sacrifices to the murals of the Sun God, welcomed the sunrise with three cows, and saw off the sunset with three cows. We dressed up as the God of Fire, lit grains, and burned grains. When the witch is hung high, her spirit can ascend to heaven and be with the sun..."
"So the God of Fire has returned, and the God of Sun has also returned..."
The wizard told Yuzai that they had used this kind of sacrifice more than once to call the departing gods. As long as they did so, the Sun God would definitely give them a response. In the past era, they had confirmed this kind of thing several times. Even Emperor Yan called If you come over, you just need to hang the witch up and burn her to death in the mountains, but she is not really dead!
"How can the witch be said to have died? She has ridden the fire of the sun and become a great goddess who protects the tribe. The two goddesses of the Hanhuang Kingdom cannot understand this kind of sacrifice. We do not blame them because they have never seen it. Exceed the rays of the sun god!”
"That mountain was abandoned and occupied by the North Sea God, who has occupied it for a long time...."
Yu Zai interrupted him and asked: "So before the arrival of the North Sea God, did you worship the Sun God? Did it give you a response?"
The wizard was silent, and his voice echoed in the totem, and he respectfully said to Yuzai: "The belief in the sun god has been lost, and the tribes here no longer worship them. This is all the fault of the Hanhuang Kingdom, and even more so the fault of the Yellow Emperor."
It turns out that the Yellow Emperor came here back then to observe the sun, moon and stars to determine the calendar time. The wizards in the tribe believed that because the last Yan Emperor was defeated, the Yellow Emperor desecrated the murals of the Sun God and abolished the sacrifice of burning witches. Therefore, the sacrifice failed.
Therefore, after the Yellow Emperor left, they carried out this kind of sacrifice again, but the God of Fire almost did not appear in the long years. Some people said that it was because the era of Emperor Yan was over.
Yuzai knew that there was the Ran family, who claimed to be descendants of the Yandi Shennong family, but he did not know which branch they came from. Guangchengzi told Yuzai that in the past, these tribes had actually lived here for a long time, and it was the Shennong family who came from At this point, the blood sacrifice was abolished and he fell in love with a girl, so the Youran family became the bloodline of Emperor Yan.
Yu Zai: "Then, it turns out that Emperor Yan also abolished that kind of sacrifice. Why not hate Emperor Yan but hate Emperor Huang?"
"Emperor Yan...that is the son of the sun, just like you. He originally followed the guidance of the sacrifices and found our ancestors."
The wizard said, very excited, and suddenly said to Concubine: "By the way, Yi Qi once resonated with the mural of the Sun God. He made the world full of fire and life. If that mountain can be taken back, the Sun God The murals will definitely recreate the appearance of the past..."
After listening to these words, Yu Zai looked towards the mountain in the distance.
That's the 鏖銊霜, that's Helan Mountain.
The wizard stood next to Yu Zai, looked at the mountain, and murmured in a hazy tone: "Later, we got a little response..."
"But just a little bit, so we have always believed that as long as we can return to that mountain and complete our sacrifices, the God of Fire will reappear, and the God of Sun will come back to protect this world again."
Yuzai looked at him.
"You said, did you get a response? What kind of response was it?"
The wizard said that it was exactly the same as before, but very weak. It seemed that the priests had insufficient faith and could not give them light and heat.
But that must be the guidance given by the Sun God...
"That's why you came to us!"
Yuzai understood and said to the wizard: "So, when you almost gave up, you got another response. Although it was very weak, you did see the fire?"
"But you didn't go to that mountain, so if you go to that mountain, do you still have to follow the past sacrifices? Do you really think that the ancient sun god is guiding you?"
"I think this kind of sacrifice is very bad. Emperor Yan didn't think this kind of sacrifice was right at first. Now I also hope you will abolish it."
Yuzai was still talking nicely up to this point, suppressing his anger and communicating peacefully with the wizard.
But the wizard suddenly became very surprised.
His tone was a little fierce and he said to Concubine:
"No! It's because we abandoned the sacrifices to the Sun God many times in the past, so we let the sun's protection go away. Our current totem is passed down from Emperor Yan, but Emperor Yan has long since died."
"You are the son of the sun, but unless you resonate with the sun mural, we will not comply with your request. Are you feeling sad for those witches?"
The wizard's tone gradually became angry and fanatical!
"Ask our people, what have we gained by abandoning the sacrifices of the past? Nothing! That Sun God is not Yan Emperor, the Sun God is the Sun God, Yan Emperor is Yan Emperor, Yan Emperor is dead! Dead! Listen! Do you understand? You are the son of the sun, we respect you extremely, and we praise your fire, but you... are not the new Emperor Yan yet."
"Those witches, they clearly gained eternal life in the sun, the fireworks rose, and they transformed into gods...!"
Before the wizard could finish his words, he was suddenly punched by Yu Zai and flew out!
The whole person rolled twice on the ground, and feathers, bone ornaments and horns fell off.
There was an uproar around him, but people were afraid of Sun Zai's sun totem and did not dare to act rashly. After all, they were descendants of Emperor Yan.
Ruanzai looked around, raised his arms, and clenched his blood-stained fists angrily! He shouted angrily:
"What kind of evil god is that, who dares to tarnish the name of the sun like this!"
"I came back here not because I want to help you! I came here to destroy your sacrifice!"
