"Shan Hai Jing"?" Professor Chen was stunned for a moment before responding: "I have read it, but I can't say I'm studying it."

After a moment of pause, the old man asked again: "Xiao Chen, do you have any questions about the "Shan Hai Jing"?"

Chen Jing nodded: "Yes, I read this book recently and am quite curious about the content above. I want to know whether some of the mountains recorded above exist in reality, such as Zhaoyao Mountain, Buzhou Mountain, etc."

Professor Chen smiled and said, "I think it should exist. The content in "Shan Hai Jing" is very interesting. According to legend, the author was written by Bo Yi, who helped Dayu control the flood. How could a book written by such a person be imagined novels out of thin air?"

Bo Yi, the surname Ying, was the ancestor of the Qin people and was said to be the founder of the Qin State.

The reason why it is said to be rumored is that he is a figure from ancient times, and there is no relevant documentary record that can clearly prove history in that era.

Chen Jing nodded and said, "It seems that many scholars have studied some of the places recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", but it seems that there is no special research on the stone hammer."

"Normal, thousands of years have passed since ancient times, and the world has changed so much." Professor Chen said, and suddenly looked at Chen Jing with a smile and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask? Don't go around in circles, I won't ask the bottom line."

When Chen Jing heard this, he smiled awkwardly. The old man is still smart.

"Professor Chen, I just want to know where Zhaoyao Mountain mentioned in "Shan Hai Jing" is most likely to be today?" Although Chen Jing had a judgment in his heart, he still wanted to get an answer from Professor Chen.

To put it bluntly, there is only one chance to search for Xuan Li with mysterious intuition. Chen Jing didn't dare to make a decision by himself. He wanted Professor Chen to give him some confidence, after all, it was of great importance.

"Zhaoyaoshan?" Professor Chen thought about it before saying, "I remember that it seems that four statements have been roughly derived? If you ask me, I think Maoershan in Guizhou is the most likely."

"Why?" Chen Jing asked subconsciously.

Professor Chen took a sip of tea: "There is no reason, because most scholars also think that Maoershan is the most likely."

After a moment of pause, the old man looked at Chen Jing with a serious expression and said seriously: "Xiao Chen, you have to remember one thing: you have a specialty in your profession and leave professional things to professionals. Those scholars who have specialized in "Shan Hai Jing" all think that Maoer Mountain is the most likely, and that is definitely the greatest."

"Never think you can understand better than professionals, unless you really have the expertise they don't know."

Chen Jing nodded seriously after hearing this: "Well, I understand Professor Chen."

In fact, he felt that Maoershan was the most likely. Now Professor Chen's words gave him confidence to make a decision in the end.

Choose to go to Maoer Mountain, Guizhou Province to search for Xuanli!

Success or failure is here. I hope that those scholars have not made any mistakes in their judgments and hope that they have not made any mistakes in their choices. Chen Jing thought to himself.

At this time, Professor Chen asked again: "What other questions are there? Let's ask them together."

All of this said, Chen Jing asked without hesitation: "Professor Chen, you know a lot about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. I want to know some specific situations of the Wei State at that time, such as the worship of totems, or the logo that can represent the Wei State."

Although the backhand left by the Wei royal family on Zhaoyao Mountain may be gone now, everything is not absolute. What if there are any clues?

Now, learn more about relevant information, and maybe it will play a crucial role at that time. Isn’t it that the last time I searched for Jielu, which was to connect all the clues clearly from the religious trust of the Yuan Dynasty?

When Professor Chen heard that Chen Jing wanted to understand the situation of Wei State, he looked at him deeply and seemed to have thought of something. However, the old man did not ask much, but said, "Then let me tell you."

"Let's start with Shang Se from Wei State."

"In ancient China and Xia, the Yin-Yang theory was prevalent. The colors of the flags and main colors of the dynasties and the vassal states were extremely particular, and they were all determined based on the basis of the evidence. This involved the famous theory of the five virtues. The ancients believed that every country was born in accordance with the fortune of heaven and had corresponding five elements. "

"For example, Qin State is water virtue, so Qin State is still black, and all the flags and clothing are black."

"Which State came out of Jin State and admitted that it inherited the orthodox state of Jin State. This State of Jin was a royal family and vassal state of Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou was fire virtue, so Jin State responded to the fire virtue of Zhou, and Wei State naturally inherited the fire virtue, so Wei State still had red."

red?

Chen Jing silently wrote it down in his heart.

Professor Chen continued: "Let's talk about the totem."

"In the long process of understanding and transforming nature, we humans have produced language and formed thinking. As language and thinking become increasingly rich, primitive myths have emerged; totem worship has also emerged. People not only think that totem can protect themselves, but also think that totem is their ancestor."

"It's like a dragon. This is the common totem worship of the people of China and Xia today, so we call ourselves the descendants of the dragon. But during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, totem worship was not as unified as it was later."

"The seven heroes of the Warring States Period at that time basically had different totems, but most of them were not clearly recorded in historical materials and documents, among which the more clear were Qin and Zhao."

"Because the totems of Qin and Zhao are both Xuanniao, both countries were established by the Ying surname, and there is also the Shang Dynasty. As the saying goes, "The Xuanniao is destined to be born in the sky, and the house is bright and the earth is bright." Shang people, Qin people, and Zhao people all think that their ancestors are Xuanniao."

"The Wei State totem has no clear records or documents to prove what its totem is. There are many different opinions in the academic community, but according to some archaeological discoveries, it is generally believed that it should be a tiger."

"Tiger?" Chen Jing listened very seriously because Professor Chen's narration was easy to understand and interesting.

And it was not to tell him the answer directly, but to let him know the reason, with the meaning of teaching, which made Chen Jing's idea of ​​worshiping him as his teacher even more severe.

Not to mention various other factors, how can such a knowledgeable master not worship?

"Yes, tigers, but not ordinary tigers, but mythical creatures similar to the Xuanniao. I personally think that the totem of Wei State should be Lu Wu."

Lu Wu, also originated from the "Shan Hai Jing", from the "Shi Shan Jing Chapter" in it. The original text contains: "Four hundred miles southwest, it is called Kunlun Hill, which is actually the capital of the emperor, and the god Lu Wu is in charge of it. His god is like a tiger body with nine tails, human face with tiger claws; this is a god, the nine divisions of the heaven and the emperor's tent."

To put it simply, Lu Wu is a god on Kunlun Mountain. He has a human face and a tiger body, a nine tail, and manages the Nine Divisions of Heaven and the Garden of Emperor Tian. He can be said to be the steward of Emperor Tian, ​​and his position is not low.

After hearing what Professor Chen said, Chen Jing thought to himself that Zhaoyaoshan came from the "Shan Hai Jing", and Lu Wu, who was suspected to be the totem of Wei State, also came from the "Shan Hai Jing". The relationship between the two made him agree with Professor Chen's view that Lu Wu was the totem of Wei State.
