Let’s talk about this story, which can be considered a typical one among the bizarre myths and legends. Most people believe that the Wuzhiqi in the story is connected in various ways with the most well-known Monkey King in Chinese classical mythology.
As we all know, Sun Wukong is not an original creation in "Journey to the West". Long before this book was formed, the Monkey King, the demon monkey, appeared in folk operas, as well as the prototype of the story of Monk Tang's quest for Buddhist scriptures.
In the early stories, the aquatic monster Wuzhiqi was mentioned in many places. However, there was no theory of the four monkeys at that time. It was only speculated that Wukong was the brother and sister of Wuzhiqi. Of course
, fabricated by the ancients
There must also be a certain basis. More people think that the image of Sun Wukong was fabricated based on the legend of Wuzhiqi. Even in "Journey to the West", this guy is also named after the "Water Monkey Great Sage"
The image has been revealed.
However, although most of the things in legends are absurd, no one can say that some things are definitely not true, just like the Fengshen Yuqiang and the Hydra Xiangliu we met before.
The period when things were active is also very close to the era when the water monster Wuzhi Qi lived. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as the ancient period, the beginning of the prehistoric period.
Since Xiang Liu exists and Yu Qiang exists, then the Five Heavenly Emperors and the so-called ancient giant monsters may not be real. I don’t know whether they are alive or dead now, but at least I know that this kind of
There are more than just one or two huge chains of unknown origin, and almost every chain that is accidentally discovered has something creepy locked at the end.
For example, the sea eye of Beixinqiao in the Imperial Capital.
It is said that it was the legendary Liu Bowen and the legendary monk Yao Guangxiao who got together and found many sensible people to build the city of Beijing. The layout of the city of Beijing is extremely particular, with every criss-crossing street having
Its mystery is especially true in the imperial city circles. If you are interested, you can ask it yourself.
It is said that during the construction process, someone discovered that there are several sea eyes in Beijing, which can lead to the sea to the east.
The two oldest ones are one in Yuquanshan Town in the west of Beijing, under a large temple, one in Beihai, restrained by a white pagoda, and the other one in Beixinqiao. If they are not restrained, the mythical beasts in Zhenhai always come out to make trouble.
Who is Liu Bowen? He has a half-immortal body. The "mythical beast" destroyed in his hands is old (I will talk about it later). Seeing that this guy seems to be very awesome, he feels that it is difficult to deal with him with his own strength, so
, we discussed it with it and said, we are going to build Beijing City, please give me some face, go in first, and then come out when the bridge becomes an old bridge.
Zhenhai Beast thought about it and said that the new bridge would turn into an old bridge very quickly. It was not unbearable for a day or two. In order not to fight to the end with the other party, he jumped into the eyes of the sea and decided to endure it for a few years.
But Liu Bowen was a bad person, and as the saying goes, he was "not particular." After the sea beast hid, he told the people that from now on, this place could only be called Beixin Bridge, and it could never be called Old Bridge. No one could
Don't break the rules, otherwise, everyone will be killed.
People at that time still respected him very much. When they heard this, they passed the story down from ancient to ancient times. After that, the bridge was renovated several times, but the name of "Beixin Bridge" was still not changed.
There was nothing wrong with it, but things were unpredictable and sudden changes occurred. The luck of the Qing Dynasty was interrupted, and the land of China fell into an unprecedented chaos. Calculating carefully, the sea eye of Beixinqiao was disturbed about two times.
return.
The first time was when the Japanese invaded Beijing. After hearing about this, the little Japanese didn’t believe in evil, so they found many trucks and pulled up the big iron chain under the bridge, which lasted for a kilometer or two. It didn’t reach the end.
At that time, I saw the yellow soup whirring under the water, and there was also the faint sound of the sea breeze. I smelled it with my nose, and it was thick, accompanied by the fishy smell of the sea.
Seeing this, the man panicked and quickly put the chain back on, and the matter was settled.
Later, the second time, when the Red Guards destroyed the four olds, these little bastards were not afraid of anything. They used the momentum to kill gods and Buddhas when they met, and entangled hundreds of thousands of people to join forces.
They also pulled up the big iron chain together, and the result was that there was no
Just like the Japanese, they pulled out for several kilometers without reaching the end. Then, water splashed upward from under the bridge. It is said that there was also a sound like an old cow coming from the bottom of the water, "moo"
He shouted, causing the ground to tremble.
Those children had never seen such an evil scene. They were so frightened that they ran away. Fortunately, the chain was dragged back by something. In the end, nothing happened. However, the chain was tied at one end.
But people at the time found out about the monster, and for a while, there was an endless stream of people watching the fun.
I have never been there, and I don’t have time, but I heard from a classmate I met when I was in college that the big, thick iron chain is still there, and the locals also know a few things about it, that is, it
No one dares to pull it up even if it is placed there. It is said that a few years ago, the municipal government
The government organized workers to build several subway lines. It was also broadcast on the news that the subway had to go around for many kilometers in order not to damage an ancient well in Beixinqiao. Many people said that this matter was actually the same as that of Zhenhai.
The sea beasts are related, but the official media is unwilling to admit it.
There are actually many similar things, and I know more than one or two. What is very interesting is that in almost every such story, there is a story that is very ancient, very thick, and very long.
That big iron chain, don't you think it's mysterious? The Beixinqiao one was in the Ming Dynasty, and the metallurgical technology was quite mature.
However, everyone also knows that the earliest appearance of iron tools should be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Some countries had relevant technologies. The relatively mature ones were in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and they were not promoted on a large scale. As for the iron smelting technology at that time
Things you can do
Qing, that is, making a dagger, an iron pot, an arrowhead, and the like. Although it is not as difficult as making porcelain to make large iron objects, it is not very possible. In such a situation, then
How did the big thick iron chain come out?
Thinking about it in the laziest way, then, this thing must be an artifact. You know, many smelting technologies are inseparable from early religious activities such as burning furnaces to make alchemy. Large metal tools can only be possessed by great gods. Pangu opened the sky.
When I was there, didn’t I catch a huge ax that opened the sky casually?
