Chapter 651: Ten Continents and Three Islands
"Childe, have you heard of the three islands of the Ten Continents?"
Fu Yunhu's cultivation is not bad, not much better than the sect master, but he is quite easy-going, with a slight dew, excellent demeanor, and he is not shy about his teacher's background. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"How can a cultivator not know about the three islands of the ten continents?"
Ming Qin suddenly realized that overseas immortal mountains have always been a place where immortals live, and Qin Shi Huang ordered Xu Fu to lead boys and virgins to cross the sea by boat in order to obtain the elixir of immortality, but he never returned. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also likes to ask for immortals to visit the Tao, and once asked Dongfang Shuo for advice on overseas immortal mountains, and circulated a book of "Ten Continents".
At first, the Pangu God King attracted the power of the sun and the moon to open the heavens and the earth, and then the light and clear qi floated upward, and the heavy turbid qi condensed downward, the upper one was the cloud qi, the lower one was the golden stone, and the middle was the vast ocean. Since the surface of the planet is not very rounded, it is natural for water to be deposited in low-lying areas. Gradually, a pattern of three points of flat land and seven points of sea water was formed.
The four spirits and five insects have a long history, but the reference is not quite the same, the four spirits say that it is the unicorn, the phoenix, the pixiu, the turtle and the snake, one says the green dragon, the white tiger, the xuanwu, the vermilion bird, one says the lin, the phoenix, the turtle, the dragon, the five insects say the feathers, the hair, the scales, the middle, the cun, the scales, the middle, the feathers, the kun, there is no right and wrong, but the different historical periods are different.
Both dragons and humans are latecomers, and they were not originally in the name of the four spirits and five insects, which is easy to deduce. In fact, the four spirits did not appear at the same time, and the earliest ones should be regarded as the scale fish family, which are all species in the water.
With the rise of Qingqi, the area of Gaofu is exposed to the water, and many species are forced to adapt to the life of the flat land, there is the Jiajie family, and according to the height of the terrain, there are differences between the Yu and Mao tribes, as for the insects, it seems that they cannot be regarded as an independent species, but the body is relatively smaller than the four spirits. The name Kun is also different from the method of dividing the skin by the shape of the skin.
Kun is the meaning of the word, the top of a day, the bottom of a comparison, than is the meaning of a group, Confucius said, 'the gentleman is not compared with the week, the villain is not than the week'. Kun has the meaning of the unity of all worlds. The Protoss originally lived in Kunlun Mountain, and Lun is Lun, which means to do the same thing.
"The Mean" says, 'The heavens are covered, the earth is contained, the sun and the moon shine, the frost and dew fall, and all those who have flesh and blood must respect their relatives'. To sum it up, it's just the word Kunlun.
At first, the four spirits lived in their respective regions, and they could still live in peace with each other, but with the completion of evolution, the life became more and more prosperous, and the competition became increasingly fierce, and some spirits fled to the islands scattered overseas in order to escape the war.
In the era of the Four Spirits and the Warring States Period, the attack was even more tragic, especially after the ancestral dragon mixed the mountains and seas, and the protoss was conquered on a large scale. The mountain god Kuafu was defeated and died, and the gods fell apart, let alone survive.
Emperor Jun fled to the fairy world with a part of the Protoss, but there were many old, weak, and widows among the Protoss, and it was impossible for everyone to have a strong ability to fly, and the other team built five giant ships under the leadership of the wind god Yujiang and fled overseas.
These five giant ships that bear the responsibility of the gods are the legendary five immortal mountains, Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, Daiyu, and Yuanqiao. The shape of the five immortal mountains is similar, and they are all like pots, so they are also called square pots, Peng pots, and Ying pots. The pot is the gourd, commonly known as the gourd.
Taoism has always used the gourd as a magic weapon tradition, Taishang Laojun has a purple gold gourd, Tie Guan Li Baxian crossed the sea with a gourd, Tang monks and apprentices across the quicksand river is also Hui'an travelers use gourds to turn into a big boat to send them over.
The gods retreated overseas to take this kind of gourd, Yujiang with fifteen giant hoots wearing five gourds, as a result of the pursuit of the Longbo country when fighting, Long Bozhang people with fishing rods to catch six giant hoots, Daiyu, Yuanqiao these two big gourds floated to the North Pole, sunk without a trace, it is said that there are hundreds of millions of immortals displaced.
From the perspective of the ten continents and three islands, the reason why the continent and the island are different is because the continent is a naturally generated product, and the island is made by the immortals. The statement of the ten continents is not very accurate, among which Yingzhou is the Yingju, one of the five giant gourds built by the immortal family, Zou Yan, the grandmaster of the Yin and Yang family, once said that there are nine continents in the sea, and Chixian Shenzhou is the ten continents.
Yingzhou originally did not belong to the number of the ten continents, but its situation is indeed a little special, the immortal family built these five giant gourds, not only has the effect of escape, but also is actually five water villages, which can be used for naval battles with the dragon clan.
During the battle, not only Dai Yu and Yuanqiao lost their support and drifted down the river, but Yingju was also heavily damaged, but it was relatively lucky, and only floated 700,000 miles and landed on an island.
The rest of Jiuzhou is mostly within 300,000 li of Pinglu, and the only Yingzhou is as far as 700,000 li, which also shows that it is different from other continents and islands.
Although it is said that there are three islands in ten continents, the three immortal mountains are more famous than those in ten continents. The Three Immortal Mountains really have the descendants of the Immortal Family, and the Ten Continents are only the descendants of the Four Spirits who avoid chaos.
However, Sanxian Mountain has always been very mysterious, Li Taibai's poem, 'Haike talks about Yingzhou, the smoke and waves are faint and difficult to find', there is a mirage since ancient times, and it is difficult to find the exact location. The mystery is on this giant gourd, this gourd is like a fish, it will sink to the bottom of the sea after eating full of water, become an underwater palace, and the water will only surface after it is drained.
The world doesn't know these twists and turns, and compares Yingju with Jiuzhou, making up ten continents, but the three immortal mountains are one less, so they have to take Canghai, Fusang, and Kunlun to fill the number.
Canghai, Fusang, and Kunlun do have three islands, which is the result of the painstaking management of overseas gods. On the one hand, the gods have the weakness of greedy pleasure, leisure and hard work, and at the same time can glow their wisdom in the harsh environment, after the emperor Jun escaped to the heavenly realm, he gradually opened up the thirty-six days of Jiuyao, and the overseas one was commanded by the wind god Yu Yi, and the eastern prince and the western queen mother were also among them.
Fusang Island is the palace of the Eastern Prince, and Kunlun Island is the annex of the Western Queen Mother. The establishment of Kunlun Island completely imitates the Kunlun Divine Capital, which is the overseas capital of the Protoss.
Since then, the three islands of the Ten Continents have become a powerful force of the Protoss, and Yu Yi has even become the god of the sea, one of the few gods of the Protoss in the sea. He has more seas in charge than the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas combined.
The vast sea area on the Earth Star has always been a prohibitive place, and although the overseas gods have made great achievements in operating the three islands of the Ten Continents, it is still very different from the Nine Yao Galaxy in the Heavenly Realm. The ten continents are basically within 300,000 li except for Yingzhou, and the Tang monks and apprentices are known as 108,000 li to learn scriptures from the West, and 300,000 li is not a very strong ruling force for the gods. Sun Xingzhi turned a few somersaults and passed. (To be continued.) )
