024. The God of Thunder and the God of Gu (Part 1)
Huwa couldn't help but was speechless. The description of his incarnation was the way he looked when he just left Beihuang and came to Bayuan. He was not yet fifteen years old at the time, and he did look about the same age as this child. Hou Gang also said kindly: "You
Do you live in a nearby village? From your tone, it sounds like you know this monster. What did you call it just now?"
The child glanced at Hou Gang, as if laughing at his ignorance, and replied with some pride: "It is the God of Thunder, the guardian of the people. You don't even know the God of Thunder, so you run here?"
Hou Gang was almost frightened: "What did you say? God of Thunder!... It's just like this. How can it pay back the God of Thunder? Is there such a young and cowardly God of Thunder?"
No wonder he reacted like this. The legend about the God of Thunder has existed in China since ancient times. Its name is "Zhen", which is a magical creature that can control thunder and lightning, make sound vibrate in all directions, and can fly into the clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
, very mysterious and powerful. It is said that mortals cannot see its appearance at all, and can only hear the sound of "shock" in the wilderness, just like the rolling thunder, and occasionally the mysterious huge footprints left by it can be found.
And this furry monster, which looks like both a feathered man and a monster, is only the size of an ordinary person, and its feet are like monkey paws. Although it has good cultivation, it can also use magic weapons, and it can also speak weird human words, but it is too
Yi and Hou Gang teamed up to deal with it in one meeting. Compared with the thunder god in ancient legends, the gap is too big, right?
The child asked unconvincedly: "Why are you so young and so cowardly? The God of Thunder is the God of Thunder, the descendant of Lord Gu God. No one in the nearby villages knows about it, and you are the only one who has never seen it!"
Jigu sneered and said: "What kind of person is Lord Thunder God? He can hide in a tree and attack secretly, but we took him down with just one move!"
Child: "That's because you guys are so powerful, but you can't say he's not the God of Thunder..."
When he was excited, he forgot about his fear, and actually started to quarrel with Jigu. Jigu was always talkative, and the child was also very articulate, so the quarrel went on for a long time. Huwa and others were speechless, but at least they were speechless.
I roughly understood what was going on. The origin of this furry monster "Thunder God" is actually related to the legend of Jiuli.
Legend has it that Chi You threw a weapon at Mount Li and turned it into a maple tree. The maple tree fell and a butterfly flew out of the heart of the tree. The butterfly laid twelve eggs. Not only did the eggs hatch out, Jiang Yang, the leader of Jiuli, but also
Birds, beasts and various monsters, and Thor is one of them.
Such legends are often very interesting. They absorb the content of more ancient myths. There has been a thunder god in ancient myths, but when he appeared here, he became one of the monsters hatched from butterfly eggs.
Legend has it that Jiang Yang defeated and subdued many monsters and ordered them to protect the Jiuli people for generations. The images of these monsters later became the totems of some tribes. Some tribes raised and drove exotic beasts, and even worshiped the big monsters in the mountains.
And formed an alliance with them, so these strange beasts and monsters gradually evolved into the legendary monsters that were subdued by Jiang Yang.
The child does not know the origin of this furry monster, and he does not need to know. Anyway, no one in the nearby tribes and villages can tell clearly, and the legend about it has been circulating for at least a hundred years. Everyone has already
I'm used to it. It is the monster Thor hatched from a butterfly egg. Even if it is not the earliest thunder god, it is also the descendant of the legendary thunder god and the guardian of the Jiuli people.
According to the memories of the oldest elder in the village, the God of Thunder lived on a big tree by the water in the wasteland. It has always looked like this. As for what changes it has undergone, I am afraid no one will pay attention to distinguish such a strange thing.
And this "Lord Thundergod" has indeed acted as the guardian of the nearby tribes. Any hostile outsiders who trespass into its territory will be attacked by it. So how does it distinguish hostility?
With the instinctive consciousness of a beast, but also with the wisdom of a human being, first look to see if there are any sacrifices to offer?
Lord Thor likes to eat meat, roasted meat, and several kinds of berries that are a specialty of the nearby mountains. If you use the juice of these berries as a seasoning and spread it on the meat before roasting it, then it will be his favorite, and you can eat it from a long distance.
Smell the smell. This flat soil slope by the beach is actually equivalent to an altar. People from nearby tribes often send sacrifices for them to enjoy, so the God of Thunder will not embarrass them.
If someone occasionally needs to pass by temporarily and it is not convenient to prepare a special barbecue, then you can just pick some berries that he likes to eat in the mountains. It has been more than a hundred years, and the God of Thunder also has wisdom, and he is very familiar with people from various nearby tribes.
, sometimes even if someone passes through the territory without bringing a sacrifice, it will not be embarrassed.
But if outsiders want to pass by here, they must prepare special sacrifices. They must first place them on the slope beside the water for them to enjoy, and they can only pass by with their permission.
The Thunder God's lair is in that big tree. In addition to guarding its own territory, it also has friendship with the Grand Wizard of Feili. It cannot be said that it is completely driven by the Grand Wizard of Feili, but at least it is an ally with Feili.
The main relationship is to be worshiped by Feilibu.
If there is a large group of strangers coming outside, the God of Thunder is not stupid. He will first run to notify the great wizard of Feili tribe, so that all tribes in the mountain will be vigilant and prepare for the response. Sometimes there are not many people coming, but among them
But there are masters who are difficult to deal with. The Thunder God will escape in time and fly to find the great wizard of the Feili tribe.
In an emergency, the God of Thunder has another trick, which is to set fire to the nest on the top of the tree. The thick smoke rises into the sky, and all the tribes in the mountain can see it, and they know that there are foreign enemies that are difficult for the God of Thunder to deal with.
No one from the local tribes can tell how many years the Thunder God has been practicing here. It is at least more than a hundred years, and it may be close to two hundred years. The existence of the Thunder God has indeed provided warning and protection to the local tribes many years ago.
There have been several large-scale tribal conflicts, and Thor's help cannot be ignored.
The Thunder God's territory is only in this area, and it is an inaccessible place on the edge of the wasteland. How can it protect the tribes? Not only because it lives in a big tree and can see far away, but also this place is located on a choke point.
.The nearby Jiuli tribal villages have a very special scattered environment. There is only one road from the north, which is a long and narrow valley not far away.
After passing through the valley road, you can see the continuous mountains and undulating hills. People from various tribes such as Shanli, Feili, and Guli live among them. If you are familiar with the terrain and have high cultivation level, of course you don’t need to take this road.
There cannot be a road anywhere in the mountains. But for those who are not familiar with the terrain or large groups of people, this is the only way to travel from north to south.
These Jiuli people live in the area south of Yunmengju Ze. They migrated here deliberately and rarely interact with other tribes in the north. The territory where the Thunder God is located is the edge of the area where they usually move. Many people don't need to go here.
Come on, there is no need to worship the God of Thunder on weekdays. Only Feili Dabu will send people to specially deliver offerings every month.
From the perspective of many local tribes, the outsiders who rashly enter this area from the north often have bad intentions, and they are very afraid of them. Maybe they have grudges hundreds of years ago.
The tribes of Jiuli migrated to the south of the land of China and spread over a very wide area. The tribesmen in this area are only part of them, and they are the most remote part. Of course, there cannot be only one way to enter the land of Jiuli.
For example, there are several important roads connecting the eastern mountainous area and the junction area between Shanli and Qili.
The tribes in the mountains cannot all rely on such a monster to be vigilant against the outside world. The location of the Thunder God is only at an important intersection in the north, and further north is the territory of the Chongchen clan and the Benli clan. In recent years, there has been very little traffic between them.
Huwa and others did not know what was going on. Not only did they not deliver the offerings, they also waded ashore and stepped directly onto the "altar", which is why they were attacked by the God of Thunder.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the God of Thunder should have taken the opportunity to escape or light up fireworks as a warning. Unfortunately, Taiyi and Hou Gang were so powerful that they captured them in one encounter, leaving them with no time to do anything.
The so-called Thunder God is not a real god, it is just an honorific for this powerful monster, which happens to be consistent with the legend. The Jiuli tribes believe in the Witch God, but the child just mentioned the "Gu God", which is another
What's going on?
The Gu God is the Witch God, just with a different name. The Jiuli tribes have moved to the south for hundreds of years. They are spread over a wide area, and communication with each other is also difficult. The witch histories and corresponding legends gradually appear to be different.
.For example, the shaman god worshiped by the Benli tribe is the legendary Jiang Yang, while the witch god worshiped by the Qili tribe and Shanli tribe is Chi You.
The Feili tribe and the Gu Li tribe are different. The shaman god they believe in is actually the butterfly, and they prefer to call it the Gu god. Chi You, Butterfly, and Jiang Yang are all related to the myths and legends of the Jiuli tribe, respectively.
He became the witch god believed in by various branch tribes.
As for the child today, he lives in a village in the mountains in the south. His temper is a bit like that of a tiger boy when he was a child. He likes to run around and often runs far away when he is playful. He is very fond of the monster Thor who lives in the trees.
He was curious and interested, so he often came here to spy, but today he saw the scene just now, which made him stunned.
This child's name is "Hua", and he is called Xiaohua or Hua Zai in the village. When he heard that Hougang and the others were nobles from China and heard their names, he asked curiously:
"In China, how do people usually name people?"
The name Jigu is a bit strange, but it doesn't sound special to Andy. The name Huwa is more common, but the names of Taiyi and Hougang sound too special.
Huwa smiled and explained: "Hou Gang and Tai Yi are either honorific names or have origins. For example, if your name is Hua and you were born in the south, if you succeed in cultivation in the future, you may be called Mr. Nan Hua. Then
You might as well be named after Nanhua."
Why does Huwa say this? Because this child Hua Zai is so special and has excellent qualifications. He will not turn fifteen until this fall, but he already has the second level of cultivation, whether in Bayuan or China.
