"Another inheritor of ancient Shu civilization is Li Bing!"
Yu Nie thought.
"Li Bing?" Jiang Zhonglou was stunned.
"Yes, this Li Bing built the famous Dujiangyan on the Minjiang River in Sichuan more than two thousand years ago. It still plays a huge role today!"
Yu Nie sighed: "Shu used to be plagued by floods, and the living conditions were actually very harsh. Since Li Bing built the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Shu has become the granary of the Qin State, and a land of abundance with fertile fields thousands of miles away!"
"this..."
Jiang Chonglou was stunned: "You mean, Li Bing mastered the mysterious civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom and built Dujiangyan?
But isn’t this Dujiangyan just an ordinary water conservancy facility? There’s nothing incredibly high-tech, right?”
"Dujiangyan is not an ordinary water conservancy facility, it is a unique miracle!"
Yu Nie sighed: "Dujiangyan is a scientific, complete and huge water conservancy engineering system with great development potential. Its design is so complex and ingenious that it can be said to be ingenious and unpredictable...
It can automatically divert water, automatically discharge sand, and can also control water inflow flow and other issues. It not only completely solves the flood problem in Shu, but also irrigates the entire Shu...
It is the only ancient water conservancy project in the world that is still in use, and two thousand years later, it still has great potential for continued construction and improvement...
This is unique in human history. More than two thousand years ago, this project was an incredible miracle!
You actually said it was just an ordinary water conservancy facility?"
"this..."
Although Jiang Zhonglou didn't know much about Dujiangyan, his senior sister's words still shocked him.
A water conservancy project that has been in continuous use for more than two thousand years and still has huge potential can only be designed and constructed by people who have mastered the ancient Shu civilization!
You know, more than two thousand years ago, there was no large-scale engineering equipment, not even harder iron...
"In fact, when Dujiangyan was built more than 2,000 years ago, people in Shu regarded Li Bing as a god. Not only did they build a temple to worship him, but there were also many myths and legends about Li Bing..."
Yu Nie continued: "It is said that the Minjiang River where Dujiangyan was built was the waterway dug by the turtle spirit of the ancient Shu king who transformed into a giant turtle to discharge floods. Li Bing just inherited the same lineage and transformed the Minjiang waterway...
Legend has it that Li Bing is actually a god. When he was building Dujiangyan, he was blocked by the river god and could not build the dam. So he transformed into a sacred bull and fought with the river god. Finally, he killed the river god and built Dujiangyan!"
"Let me go... So, Li Bing is really the inheritor of the mysterious civilization of ancient Shu?" Jiang Chonglou sighed.
"Yes, there is another person who can greatly prove that Li Bing is the inheritor of the ancient Shu civilization!"
"Who?"
"Li Bing's son, Erlang Shen!"
"Erlang Shen?"
"Yes, there is a Erwang Temple beside Dujiangyan. The people worshiping in it are Li Bing and his son Erlang Shen!"
Yu Nie smiled and said: "This Erlang Shen is said to be Li Bing's youngest son, his name is Li Tai. His magical powers are greater than Li Bing's. He helped Li Bing build Dujiangyan and made great contributions, so he was sacrificed together with Li Bing!
The key point is that this Erlang God has a third eye on his forehead, which completely comes from the legend of the Zongmu King of the ancient Shu Kingdom...
According to the Qing Dynasty's "Guanjiang Preparatory Examination", Erlang was the queen of Silkworm Cong, so he had a vertical eye on his forehead!"
"What? You said... Erlang Shen is also a descendant of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"
Jiang Zhonglou was shocked: "Isn't Erlang Shen... the Yang Jian in "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West"? How come he became Li Bing's youngest son?"
"What is this? In the Taoist classics, it is said that the surname of Erlang God is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Yu!"
Yu Nie laughed again and said: "The "Xinbian Lianxiangsou Shenguang Ji" says that the Miao Dao Zhenjun of Qingyuan, whose surname was Zhao Mingyu, hid in Qingcheng from the Taoist priest Li Yijue in the Sui Dynasty, and cut off dragons to control floods. The people were impressed by his virtues and built a temple there.
Guanjiangkou is commonly known as Guankou Erlangshen."
"I'll go... isn't this too messy?"
Jiang Zhonglou was confused: "Then, is this Erlang Shen's surname Yang? Li? Or Zhao?"
"Actually, his surname is just the same person, there is no contradiction at all!" Yu Nie said with a smile.
"Why?"
"Because he will be reincarnated!"
Yu Nie continued to explain: "From "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" we can see that Erlang Shen possesses the Eighty-nine Divine Arts, and his strength can completely crush the likes of Sun Wukong and Nezha. He is completely cheating.
.
Even Sun Wukong and Nezha can avoid reincarnation and come back to life, let alone Erlang Shen. His reincarnation is probably as simple as creating a vest account in the game!
And whether it is Yang Erlang, Li Erlang, or Zhao Erlang, their homes are all at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, which is now Dujiangyan in Shu...
It can be seen from this that they are the same person at all, but they have just changed their vests and been reincarnated!"
"this..."
"Moreover, the temple at Guanjiangkou was originally called Wangdi Temple, and the place of worship was Wangdi Du Yu of the Shu Kingdom. Later it was changed to the Erwang Temple to worship Erlang God. It can be seen that Erlang God and the ancient Shu Kingdom are indeed of the same origin!"
Yu Nie added: "Moreover, haven't you discovered that the period when King Wu defeated Zhou was the period of the Conferring God War?
Since historical records record that Emperor Wang Du Yu led troops to help King Wu defeat Zhou, then Erlang Shen Yang Jian was probably the most powerful general under Du Yu!
He has three eyes and supreme supernatural powers. He defeated countless enemies, helped King Wu defeat Zhou, and finally became a saint in body...
Later, when the Qin State destroyed Shu, Erlang Shen was reincarnated and became Li Bing's youngest son. He helped Li Bing build Dujiangyan and control floods...
Later, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Erlang God was reincarnated as Zhao Yu, killing dragons to control floods and benefiting the people, and he was still worshiped at the mouth of the Guanjiang River...
So, three Erlangshen are actually one Erlangshen who changed his vest and came out to play, there is no contradiction at all!"
"What the hell..."
Jiang Zhonglou admired his senior sister's rich imagination...
Of course, I am also in awe of my senior sister’s erudition and talent!
"Although the origins and names of the three Erlangshen are different, according to legend, their appearance has not changed at all. They all have three eyes on their foreheads..."
Yu Nie continued to analyze: "It can be seen that they are the same person, and they come from the ancient Shu country that has a special worship of eyes..."
"Sister, what you said makes sense, but...isn't it too ridiculous? Is there really any reincarnation in this world?"
The senior sister's words completely overturned Jiang Zhonglou's three views, "What you said are all myths and legends, without any scientific basis!"
"Who said I have no scientific basis? I just told you about myths and legends first, and then I told you my formal scientific speculation!"
