People of later generations are often confused about the various titles and names in ancient legends, and find them complicated and confusing. The same name will appear repeatedly in different times and on different occasions, such as Zhu Rong and Gong Gong. They are not only
A person is also a tribe, or even an inherited title.
Thinking back to the time when the last Emperor Yan, Yugong, surrendered to Xuanyuan, they all called themselves Shaodian clan, which meant that Xuanyuan Huangdi had the right to succeed. Yugong himself was named Jinyun clan by Xuanyuan, which is somewhat equivalent to Zimo who was still named Shaowu after abdicating the throne.
As Prime Minister, I will be given the honor of ten nobles.
But the situation of Yugong is very different from Zimo. He was originally the emperor of China and ordered all the tribes in the world. After he surrendered, there was still a huge force of the old tribe, which was called the Siyue tribe. The so-called Siyue tribe was not
It refers to the four mountains, and it does not specifically refer to the four big tribes, but means to defend the Emperor of China.
Yugong had a son named Zhu Rong, who served as Huozheng, and together with Chi You was the most powerful general in the last years of Emperor Yan. The name Zhu Rong appeared many times in ancient times. It is said that the assistant of Emperor Shennong was named Zhu Rong, and the official position he held was
It was also Huozheng. Yugong gave his son this name and asked him to hold the same official position, which was equivalent to appointing him as the leader of the Zhu Rong clan.
The title of Zhu Rong has existed since ancient times. Such a tribe has flourished since the time of Emperor Shennong. Many of its leaders in the past dynasties also called themselves Zhu Rong. For descendants who do not know the truth, sometimes it is difficult to tell who is who, just like Bai Bai
Sha also called himself the Bai'e clan. In order to unite all the ministries in the world, Emperor Xuanyuan still appointed Zhu Rong as Lord Huozheng.
Zhu Rong has a son named Gonggong, who is one of the leaders of the Siyue Tribe. The tribe he leads is also called Gonggong Tribe. It is a very powerful branch of the Siyue Tribe and its territory is in the south of the land of China. Yu
Zhu Rong had many sons, and Gonggong did not inherit the title of Zhu Rong, but he inherited the position of Zhu Rong.
Gonggong was ordered by the emperor to control floods in the south, and he was also called the navy by the local people. After he inherited the title, his official name was changed from Huozheng to Shuizheng. And "Gonggong" was also an official position in the Yan Emperor era.
As for the title, just look at Ba Yuan and you will know that the official name of the ancestor is the name of the descendant and the tribal title. This is also a habit in ancient times.
Regardless of whether they are Shuizheng or Huozheng, although their status is respected, they are all symbolic and empty positions, and they do not hold much real power in the emperor's court. At the same time, they were also given the symbolic position of Gonggong to show their inheritance.
The father's business is passed down from generation to generation. In ancient times, many professions were like this. Making weapons with fire, controlling water and cultivating fields were all common people's fortifications.
Hou Gang spent a lot of time to explain clearly the complex meaning and origin of the title "Gonggong".
During the time of Emperor Zhuanxu, the emperor ordered to rectify the sacrifices, but it was not all smooth sailing. The Gonggong Department among the Siyue tribe was the most opposed. The Gonggong Department was powerful in the south, and Emperor Zhuanxu called on all the ministries in the world to conquer, not only mobilizing the power of the Chongchen clan, but also
He also persuaded the Benli tribe among the Jiuli tribe to form an alliance with the Chongchen clan and attack the Gonggong tribe together.
The Jiuli tribes are not monolithic. There are also various internal differences and disputes. Emperor Zhuanxu adopted the method of unity and differentiation to govern. He married a woman from the Benli tribe. Unfortunately, this woman did not give birth to a son to inherit the Benli tribe. Later,
Emperor Zhuanxu married another daughter to the leader of the Benli tribe, completing the alliance through marriage.
The Chongchen family and the Benli tribe joined forces to defeat the Gonggong tribe between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River. This was the most important and largest internal conflict in the process of Emperor Zhuanxu's implementation of the administrative decree, and laid the foundation for the smooth implementation of the New Deal in the country of China.
the basis of.
Although the Ministry of Gonggong was defeated, the forces it belonged to still existed. After they expressed their willingness to accept Emperor Zhuanxu's new decree, Emperor Zhuanxu adopted a strategy of appeasement. An emperor must not only know how to fight but not compromise. In fact, he also
It was impossible to exterminate all the Gonggong tribe members who were also subjects of the emperor, so Zhuanxu still named Gonggong's son the Gonggong clan. Not only did he inherit the clan title, he also continued to serve as Shuizheng.
Today, Master Shuizheng in the Emperor Yao's dynasty is Emperor Jiang of the Gonggong clan. He is already the third generation of the Gonggong clan.
Because the Benli tribe formed an alliance with the Chongchen clan to attack the Gonggong tribe and occupied a large area of land between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, their relationship with the other Jiuli tribes became increasingly alienated. Not only did the leader of the Benli tribe marry the daughter of Emperor Zhuanxu, he also
After being canonized, he himself became a noble and was no longer a commoner without a surname.
After listening to Hougang's story, Jigu wondered: "Even if the Benli tribe did not completely break away from Jiuli, it was the first among the Jiuli tribes to form an alliance with the Yellow Emperor's forces. The current situation is considered the best. Why are the Benliu tribe members
Are you living so miserable?"
Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "In any tribe, there are high-ranking nobles and slaves in miserable conditions. Most of the Benli tribes have made wise choices because of their ancestors. Among the original Jiuli tribes, the current overall situation is
It is the best. However, there are many branch tribes within the Benli tribe, and not all of them may have participated in the attack that year and benefited from their ancestors.
If the Benli tribe does this, it will inevitably lead to enmity with the Gonggong tribe, and will also lead to dissatisfaction with other Jiuli tribes. The Benliu tribe originally lived south of the river, with Qili, Feili, Guli, Shanli, etc.
If there is a conflict in the border area between the tribes, they will definitely suffer. They fled north due to floods and tribal conflicts, but ended up becoming slaves in the Chongchen clan's fiefdom."
Taiyi suddenly said with spiritual thought: "Master seems to be very interested in the witchcraft of Jiuli tribe. Unfortunately, Benliu Gang only knows the process of the secret ritual, but does not know the secret recipe of the decoction he takes. If there really is that decoction, Master
Do you want to try a bowl too?"
Huwa replied: "The reason why Benliubang was able to enter the first level and practice cultivation was not only because of the medicinal soup, but also because of the secret ritual, which made his mind clear and free of distracting thoughts, so that he could enter into silence and observe the micro. This is
I held a ** meeting in Pengshan and explained the wonders of the first state.
In fact, no matter whether there is a witch god or not, whether they believe in a witch god or not, or whether there are other tribes in other places and believe in other gods, as long as the practices are consistent, the situation will be similar.
Back in the Northern Wilderness of Bayuan, Shanye received the guidance of the mountain god during a god-sacrifice ceremony, and thus entered the first realm of cultivation. Shanye believed in the mountain god when he was a boy, and later he understood that the name of the mountain god is Li Qingshui, which is also the name of the mountain god.
He is a monk in the human world, but this does not hinder Shan Ye's practice.
It is not difficult to explain this to you, because you yourself are the deity worshiped by the Xihuang Shenmu tribe. And the legend of the witch god of the Jiuli tribe is actually related to a maple tree. I really brought the right person to bring you here.
In fact, no matter whether gods exist or not, and what kind of existence they are, people just resort to such a method, which is not only their innermost expectation, but also a spiritual symbol and means of appeal. As for the so-called divine power, it does not belong to any god.
It is given because of the path of cultivation that already exists in heaven and earth.
Just like putting pottery dishes, sesame oil, and velvet wicks together, you can light up the lamp. With the help of a certain method, people happen to be familiar with the Dao, so they can enter the first stage and practice. But they don't know the real truth.
The reason is that I just think it was given by the witch god."
Hougang interjected with his spiritual thoughts: "It can be given by the witch god, or by other gods such as the water god, fire god, etc. The secret method can even be passed down by the master. But if there is no great way between heaven and earth, how can the master do it?
Inherited disciple? No matter who he is, he just happened to have a glimpse of a corner of the great road and is familiar with it.
This is just like when we drove out of Benliu Village. People believed what they saw and thought that Shao Jiachen was passing by this road. In the future, if anyone is looking for the whereabouts of Shao Jiachen, they will definitely follow the clues left by this carriage, but
Unexpectedly, what they saw was only Shao Jiachen's figure and chariot and horse, not the real Shao Jiachen."
Taiyi asked again: "Master, what do you think of the decoction that Benliu Gang took?"
Huwa pondered: "According to my inference, the decoction may have a psychedelic effect, making people believe that they can really communicate with the witch god, or they have received the witch god's attention, and they are convinced of it.
On the other hand, it can also stimulate people's senses and physical potential. For example, the skin becomes particularly sensitive, which is consistent with the experience that the senses become more and more acute after entering the first state, and it is also a means of assisting cultivation.
.
The decoction that Ben Liubang took should have stimulated the potential of the first and second realms at the same time. His senses became very sharp, and his bones and muscles were also refined. He survived it, and it was as if he had unknowingly completed the secret.
The ritual was of great help to him. It was also the method for him to continue practicing witchcraft, and he broke through the three realms while being ignorant.
But the cost of doing so is cruel. Back then, the Benliu Village clan selected the seven strongest and smartest children, and two of them died. The fact that Benliu Gang can survive shows that he already has this potential. If it were done in another way,
To guide, you can also enter the first stage and practice.
As for the other four people who did not die immediately, it shows that they may also have the potential to practice, but they did not succeed due to various reasons, and their life potential was overdrawn, so that they all died prematurely due to various reasons."
Taiyi took a breath and said: "This decoction is so powerful! It does have the effect of assisting the cultivation of the first and second realms, but if the person who takes it does not have that potential, or does not practice in the correct way, the result will be death.
It’s an injury. The last remaining running bar is the lucky one, but I don’t know why I am so lucky.”
Hougang interjected again: "I suddenly remembered the Bai'e clan's pilgrimage to the fairy city, which was also the ceremony for selecting successors in Chiwang Hill. No matter how the Bai'e clan views the immortals on Chiwang Hill, whether they regard them as gods or not
, but in the view of us monks, this is a secret inheritance.
Some people are lucky enough to enter the first stage and become disciples of Chiwangqiu. As for those who failed to succeed, there is no harm, they just participated in a long pilgrimage."
Taiyi reminded: "People from the Bai'e clan participate in the pilgrimage to the fairy city, and there are more or less casualties every year." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
