Liao Qingxuan glanced at the boy in front of him, then lay on the green grass behind him, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky.

"Do you know the four great beasts?"

"Yeah, know a little."

Oriental Blue Dragon

There are many legends about dragons, and there are many statements about the origin of dragons. Some say they were introduced from ancient times, and some say they were transformed into stars. For the statement about dragon god, few people know where it comes from and what species it is.

According to the Yin and Yang, five colors are given to the east, west, north and middle, and each color is accompanied by a divine beast and a god; the east is blue, dragon, white, tiger, vermilion, bird, black, north is black, martial, and yellow is the center.

Among the gods in the four directions, "Zhurong in the south, the beast body and the human face are on the face, and the two dragons are on the face, and the two dragons are on the left." "There is Jumang in the east, and the bird face is on the face, and the two dragons are on the face." "There is Juebang in the north, and the black body and the legs are on the face, and the two dragons are on the four directions." However, the five gods in the five directions are not much the same as the four gods in the four directions, Zhuque and Xuanwu (black turtle and snake, Wu means turtle and snake), Qinglong and White Tiger represent the twenty-eight constellations in the four directions respectively. The dragon is the seven constellations in the east - horn, Kang, Di, room, heart, tail, and Ji, and the shape of these seven constellations is very similar to the shape of a dragon. From their meaning, it can be seen that the horn is the horn of a dragon, Kang is the neck, Di is the origin, but the root of the neck, the room is the arm, the flank, the heart is the heart, the tail is the tail, and Ji is the tail.

There is also the part of the dragon heart, which is related to sunlight and rain. Because the Azure Dragon belongs to wood, it is also the Tai Sui of Jupiter. After the rise of Taoism, these four spirits were also named for humans, which is convenient for humans to call them. The Azure Dragon is called "Meng Zhang", the White Tiger is called "Jian Bing", the Vermillion Bird is called "Ling Guang", and the Xuanwu is called "Zhi Ming", so he has records of the auspicious signs of "Qinglong born in the suburbs".

In ancient times, the one with horns on the head was a male dragon; the one with two horns was called a dragon, and the one with one with one horn was called a dragon; the one without horns was called a dragon. In ancient times, there were often two dragons of large and small, and they were still called a mother and son Chi. The dragon is a divine object and is supreme. Among the five elements, it belongs to wood. Because the blue color belongs to wood, there is a saying that the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right is called.

Among the twenty-eight constellations, the seven constellations in the east are the east - the seven constellations - the horn, Kang, Di, the room, the heart, the tail, the ji, and the warrior imagined them as the image of a dragon. Because they are located in the east, they are based on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements to match the five directions, the east is green, so they are called the Qinglong.

The legendary Dragon Clan has nine sons:

The eldest son is called the Prisoner: it loves music in a flat body, and its soul, which dies, will be in the piano and will often stand on the head of the piano.

The second son is Yapi: he loves to kill, so after his death, his martial soul enters the weapon to capture the enemy.

San'er is a mocking wind: a beast-shaped dragon, which looks a bit like a dog. It is good at looking at it and is said to be able to capture demons and eliminate disasters.

The fourth son is Pu Lao: he likes to roar, and after his death, his soullessness entered the evening drum and morning bell.

The fifth son is a sacred sac: it looks like a lion. It is an external product. It is so quiet and loves fireworks. It is said that after his death, he entered Buddhism and asked him to protect the Dharma for the Buddhist temple.

The sixth son is Baxia: also known as the turtle, which looks like a turtle. According to legend, in ancient times, it often carried three mountains and five mountains to make wind and waves.

The seventh son is the sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred

The eighth son is the negative: because it loves literature.

Mozi is Chiwen: It is a thing under the Rain God's seat and can extinguish fire.

Western White Tiger

Among the four sacred beasts, the other one that is often compared with dragons is the "White Tiger"; tiger is the leader of all beasts. Its power and its legendary ability to subdue ghosts have also become a divine beast of yang, and often follow the dragon to move, and "clouds come from the dragon, wind comes from the tiger" has become a pair of best partners to subdue ghosts.

The White Tiger is also a god of war and a god of killing. The White Tiger is one of the four spirits and is said to be transformed from stars. It is from the twenty-eight stars, which are located in the seven Western constellations: Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Bi, Gui, and Shen. Therefore, it is the representative of the West, and its whiteness is because it is the West. The West belongs to metal in the five elements and its color is white. Therefore, it is called the White Tiger not because it is white, but from the five elements.

Taoism elixirs are divided into internal and external, internal elixirs, external elixirs, and external elixirs. The inner elixirs are based on the yin and yang and five elements. Dragon yang is born in Li, and Li belongs to fire, so it is said that "dragon comes out of fire", tiger yin is born in Kan, and Kan belongs to water, so it is said that "tiger grows to the edge of water". After the two are combined, one yin and one yang are harmonious with each other, which is called Tao origin, both of which are both the primordial spirit and the representative of Yuan spirit. Another saying is that nature belongs to wood, wood represents the east, and is Zhen in the hexagram, so Bi is blue dragon; emotion belongs to metal, metal represents the west, and metal is Dui in the hexagram, gold is white, so it is called white tiger. Gold can overcome wood, so emotions often damage nature, and use the true essence of 28 to make them intersect and merge into one, then the metal and wood are endless, and the dragon and tiger are subdued to form elixirs. In the human body, the liver is the dragon and the kidney is the tiger, and the external elixir still takes the meaning of yin and yang, using the dragon as lead and the tiger is mercury.

In the minds of warriors, tigers are terrible things and respectable things. What is terrible is that they can eat humans and animals. What is respectable is that they are extremely powerful and can ward off evil spirits. However, in some ancient books, they record: "When the tiger is drawn in the door, ghosts dare not enter", "Tiger is the yang, thing, and the strength of all beasts. They can hold on to sharpen their sharpness and eat ghosts. Nowadays, people get bad encounters, burn the tiger's skin and drink it. Hit their claws can also ward off evil spirits. This is the test.' Warriors also believe that the white tiger is a kind of auspiciousness: "The virtue is so great that birds and beasts."

The original Western Star Gods were bears and owls, but later because the totem of the ancient Qiang tribe changed from bears to dragons. In ancient times, the totem of the dragon was brought to the Ice Soul Continent and merged with the "Eastern Canglong Constellation". The vermilion bird became the new residence of the phoenix totem in the heavens. Due to the fusion of the two major tribes, it finally became a "dragon and phoenix to show good fortune". As the ancient totem, it was the East Phoenix and the West Dragon, and as the astrology, it was the East Canglong and the West Red Bird.

Another ancient book records "The Canglong in the East Palace, the Red Bird in the South, the Xianchi in the West Palace, and the Xuanwu in the North".

The three stars of Xianchi are among the five cars, and the sky is in the south, and the fish and birds are surrounded by fish and birds. The place, the Canglong, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, are all in the seven constellations. As for Xianchi, there is one star, and it is free in addition to the twenty-eight constellations. There is another explanation for Xianchi, which is where the sun bathes.

Also, since the White Tiger is the god of war, many powerful generals are said to be the White Tiger Star.

Southern Vermilion Bird

Vermilion Bird can also be said to be a phoenix or a black bird. Vermilion Bird is one of the four spirits, and like the other three, it comes from the stars and is the general name of the seven southern constellations: well, ghost, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen. It is associated with it. Vermilion Bird is red, like fire, and the south belongs to fire, so it is called phoenix. It also has the characteristic of heavy body from fire, just like the immortal bird in the west, so it is also called fire phoenix.

In ancient books, the phoenix is ​​a beautiful bird. With its singing and manners, it can bring good fortune to the world. It also has the special spirituality of "not dwelling on the paulownia tree, not eating without bamboo, not drinking without sweet spring". Because it is the "featherworm", the dragon with the "scaleworm" is gradually becoming a pair in legend. One has many changes and the other has a beautiful virtue, which becomes a pair in legend. Moreover, because the dragon symbolizes the ultimate yang, and the phoenix (the phoenix is ​​the male, the female is the phoenix), which originally has a distinction between yin and yang, gradually becomes a representative of pure yin after facing the dragon.

There are many kinds of phoenixes, such as brocade pheasants, peacocks, eagles, swans, black birds (swallows), etc.

‘The mysterious bird of heaven descended and born in Shang, and its Yin earth shone brightly. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang to be in the four directions of the realm of the realm."

Yin Qi, whose mother was Jian Di, had a daughter of Rong Di, who was the second concubine of Emperor Ku... Three people were bathing and saw the mysterious bird following her eggs. Jian Di took it and swallowed it, and gave birth to Qi.

Northern Xuanwu

Xuanwu is a kind of spiritual object composed of turtles and snakes. The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuanming. Wu and Ming’s ancient sounds are the same. Wu means black; Ming means yin. Xuanming initially described the turtle and divination: the turtle's back is black, and the turtle's divination means asking the turtle to go to the turtle to ask the turtle first, bring the answer back, and display it to the world in the form of a divine sign. The turtle lives in rivers, lakes and seas (including sea turtles), so Xuanming becomes the water god; the turtle's longevity, Xuanming becomes the symbol of immortality; the initial Ming was in the north, and later Xuanming became the northern god.

Like the other three spirits, Xuanwu also became the twenty-eight constellations in the world: Dou, cow, female, empty, dangerous, room, wall. The martial artists explained Xuanwu that the following types of Xuanwu are: "Xuanwu" means turtle. The turtle is said to: "Xuanwu" is a turtle. The moon is said to be "Xuanwu" and "Xuanwu" are turtles and snakes. "Tianjian Mountain Records" note: "Xuanwu" means tortoises and snakes. It is located in the north, so it is called Xuan. The body has scales, so it is called Wu. "Xuanwu" is a snake combination, and the turtle and snake are intersected.

But Xuanwu is different from the other three spirits. The other Azure Dragon and White Tiger, and the vermilion bird becomes the Nine Heavens Xuanwo.

...

Whether it is the martial arts world of Bingpo Continent, the magic world of Chixiao Continent, the Taoist world of boundary space, or the Buddhist world of alien fire, all of this is still far from Wuming.

Wuming didn't know the so-called worlds at this time. He just saw it from books. If he did not exist or not, he could only know what unknown worlds he had set foot on.

Liao Qingxuan only remembered that the four great beasts suddenly became angry one day and fought each other. The sky was dark and the earth was gone. When she woke up, she had already arrived in an unknown world.

"Do you have any plans?"

Liao Qingxuan smiled slightly. She didn't know where she should go, so she said it casually. "How about you keep it in?"

Wuming didn't even think, "Okay, I'm just thinking, but we're equal." Liao Qingxuan, who was beside him, stared blankly at the young man in front of him, and then looked up at the starry sky.

"One day, I will go back, you wait for me!"
