The fourteenth chapter, the ten tripods, the sixteenth chaos in the mountains and seas
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that alien beasts were rampant in ancient times. However, sudden disasters caused the death of most of the alien beasts. The remaining alien beasts have evolved over tens of thousands of years and become almost harmless now. Our descendants People call it the Heaven and Earth. Now, due to various reasons, all the strange beasts that were once sealed in the mountains and seas have returned to the human world and become a scourge to the human world, so we will use all our strength this time Eliminate them all and restore order and stability to the world."
"Next, please take a look at the six strange beasts we will encounter in our mission."
With that said, Xiong Xiaoguang pressed the button on the podium again, and the pictures on the big screen switched to display Taotie's specific information.
"Taotie," "Zuo Zhuan: The Eighteenth Year of Wen Gong" says: "The Jinyun family had an untalented man who was greedy for food and took bribes. The world called him Taotie." "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" quoted this statement and added Added: "The most evil thing in the world is worse than three.'"
"It is said that Emperor Xuanyuan fought against Chi You, and Chi You was beheaded, and his head turned into a glutton when it fell to the ground. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas Beishan Jing" says: "There are many jade on the mountain of Gouwu, and many coppers on the bottom. There are beasts, and they look like this. It has a sheep body and a human face, its eyes are under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like that of a baby. It is called a roe deer owl, and it is a cannibal.' According to Guo Pu's annotation of the "Shan Hai Jing" in the Jin Dynasty, the roe deer owl mentioned here is It refers to gluttony. The "Shen Yi Jing·Xihuang Jing" says: 'Taotie, the name of the beast, has a body like an ox, a human face, eyes under the armpits, and cannibalism.'"
The people below couldn't help but take a breath when they heard what Xiong Xiaoguang said. This thing far exceeded what they had dealt with before, not to mention that some branch heads in small places had not had one abnormal incident since they joined the company. I had never experienced it before, but when I suddenly saw this, I felt like my three views had been refreshed.
Xiong Xiaoguang looked at the people below who were shocked and even wanted to get up and run away, and smiled slightly: "This is just the tip of the iceberg, and I have scared you like this. Fortunately, you are still the elite of various local institutions. I really didn't expect you to be like this. Let me tell you. , don’t look at me because I’m fat, but I’m not necessarily less knowledgeable than you.”
With that said, Xiong Xiaoguang switched to the next one, Yongzhu.
"梼杌, "Shenyi Jing·Xihuang Jing" records: "Is there any beast in the western wilderness? It looks like a tiger with dog hair, two feet long? It has a human face, tiger feet? Pig mouth teeth? Its tail is one foot and eight feet long. The 梼杌 stirs up chaos in the wasteland, and is named 梼杌.'"
"According to "Zuo Zhuan" in the 18th year of Duke Wen: "Zhuan Xu has a man who is not talented, cannot be taught, and does not know how to tell lies? If he tells him, he will be stubborn, if he abandons him, he will be arrogant. If he is arrogant and ruthless, he will be virtuous. To cause chaos in the world? The people of the world call him this.梼杌.'To be honest? This thing is indeed not in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? But I don't know why, it is in the Shanhai Chart, and it was also reported at the time. I remember this seems to have been reported by the Holy Cross College of the Xizhou Branch? Is there anyone here today?" As he said that, Xiong Xiaoguang glanced around the audience and saw no acquaintances from Xizhou.
Liu Gang sighed, walked to him and whispered: "The people from Holy Cross College are not here. The rest of them are dealing with the refugees in Xizhou, and some of them are resisting Yongzhu's attack and sending troops to the headquarters. People used to delay.”
When Xiong Xiaoguang heard this, he quickly pointed to the two people in charge of the West District and the Northwest District sitting in the front row, and told them: "Well, the people in charge of the Northwest District and the West District, you don't need to hold the subsequent meeting. In this way, you should immediately mobilize your manpower and go to Xizhou to assist Holy Cross College and strive to defeat Yongzhu as soon as possible."
"Okay." The two of them nodded slightly, not daring to delay any further, and immediately got up and left in a hurry.
Lin Tong watched the two people hurried out, pointed at them and asked: "Would you like to follow and help?"
Lu Ming shook his head and said: "No need, there is a person in Xizhou who is similar to me in strength. If he is here, there will be no problem in Xizhou, but it may take a longer time. Besides, that guy from Yongzhu has nothing to do with the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
The connection is just that the person who drew the picture deliberately included him in it, let’s wait for the rest.”
"Okay." Lin Tong nodded slightly, reached into the bag and grabbed a handful of candied fruits.
The third picture, Qiongqi, people couldn’t help but frown after seeing it, why are they all so weird?
"Qiongqi, "Shenyi Jing" says: "There is a beast in the northwest. It looks like a tiger, has wings and can fly. It hunts and eats people. It knows people's words. If it hears people fighting, it will eat straight. If it hears people are loyal and trustworthy, it will eat its nose.
People who are evil and rebellious often kill animals to feed them, which is called Qiongqi.'"
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Xishan Jing says: '(Mount Qiu) There is a beast on it. It looks like a cow and has stomach hair. It is called Qiongqi. Its sound is like that of a bulldog. It is a cannibal.'"
""The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Hai Nei Bei Jing" says: "It looks like a tiger with wings. It eats people from the head, and what they eat is eaten. It is in the north of the dog. It is said to be from the foot." It is normal to have a strange appearance. I suggest
You go back and read more about the Classic of Mountains and Seas when you have time. The various strange beasts described there will open your eyes." Xiong Xiaoguang saw the surprised expressions of those below, smiled slightly, pressed the button, and the picture switched again, next
One is chaos.
"Chaos," "The Book of Mountains and Seas: Three Western Classics" records: "There is a god Yan, whose shape is like a yellow sac, red like red fire, with six legs and four wings, and has no face. It knows singing and dancing, and it is actually the Emperor River (Jiang River)."
Pronounced as Hong).'"
""Shenyi Jing" says: "There is a beast in the west of Kunlun. It looks like a dog, has long hair, has four legs, looks like a rattle (sound skin) but has no claws, has eyes but cannot see, cannot walk, and has two ears but cannot hear.
"Some people have intellectual nature, but have an abdomen without five internal organs. Their intestines are straight but not rotating, and food passes by. If a person has virtuous conduct, he will resist it, and if he has bad virtue, he will rely on it. It is called chaos."
Xiong Xiaoguang didn't say much, and pressed the button to switch to the last picture, which had the names of Yamata no Orochi and Qingqiu Kyuubi written on it.
"The original name of the Yamata-no-Orochi snake is Xiangliu. The "Dahuang Bei Jing" records: "The Gonggong minister's name is Xiangyao. It has a nine-headed snake body, rings around itself, and feeds on the nine soils. The nun it feeds is the source of water.
The hardship is bitter and cannot be tolerated by all kinds of beasts. When Yu destroyed the floods, Xiang Yao was killed. The bloody smell made it impossible to grow grains. The land was full of water and was uninhabitable. When Yu destroyed it, there were three ridges and three depressions, which were regarded as pools, and the emperors
Because I thought the platform was in the north of Kunlun.'"
"Later, it was said that Xiang Liu was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor because he helped Gonggong cause trouble and turned into eight heads. He later fled overseas and became the Yamata-no-Orochi that people there often call him."
"There it is also known as Hatamatorochi, Yamatatorochi. It is a ferocious giant snake that can bring disaster. It has a terrifying appearance of eight heads and eight tails, and its body contains a legendary sword.
.It ate the sisters of Inadahime for seven years, but was finally killed by the hero Susano'o in the eighth year. There is an Amansugaun sword hidden in its tail."
"Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Haiwaidong Jing": 'Qingqiu country is in the north, and its fox has four legs and nine tails. It is said to be in the north of Chaoyang.'"
""The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness East Classic": 'There is a country of Qingqiu, and there are foxes and nine tails.'"
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas Nanshan Jing": "Three hundred miles to the east, there is a mountain called Qingqiu. Its yang is mostly jade, and its yin is mostly green [qingqiu]. There is a beast, its shape is like a fox with nine tails, and its sound is Like a baby, it can eat people, but those who eat it are not poisonous.'"
"There are many rumors in later generations that the nine-tailed fox, like Xiang Liu, fled overseas and hid. Okay, this is the focus of our mission at the moment. Of course, if we encounter other strange beasts on the road, we also need to capture them. Or remove them. If they are captured, I have already thought of the place to store them, which is the Qiangong Reservoir. It has the hardest walls and the strictest defense system. It is easy to lock up some things that we can capture." Xiong Xiaoguang After finishing speaking, he pressed the button to close the big screen.
When he finished speaking, there was silence in the auditorium, as everyone was digesting the information that was suddenly poured into their minds.
Xiong Xiaoguang glanced around, and finally smacked his lips and said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to allocate. In this way, all branches under the jurisdiction of the West District and Northwest District will leave immediately, and prepare to pack things and call the master to go to Xizhou to assist. Holy Cross College stopped Taotie. The East District and Southeast District went to Dongzhou to stop Taotie, the Southwest District and South District went to Kunlun to stop Chaos, and the North District and Northeast District went to Beizhou to stop Qiongqi. The remaining Central District acted together with the Sixth Section of the headquarters. Go to Japan, and the action team will assist you at the same time. I will go with..."
Before Xiong Xiaoguang finished speaking, Shen Wanshan suddenly stood up and said, "Xiaoguang, I also want to participate in this Operation Tongtian Jedi. Please arrange a place for me to go."
As soon as Shen Wanshan's words came out, there was an uproar in the auditorium. People didn't believe their ears, right? Shen Wanshan, the veteran of the Special Office, the former director of the Special Office, an old man in his seventies or eighties, unexpectedly Going to the front line?
Xiong Xiaoguang smacked his lips, trotted to Shen Wanshan, lowered his voice and said: "Grandpa, if you are not in good health, just don't go. If you are really good or bad, then we will regret it to death." ?”
"That's right, old man, don't go. Just sit here with Xiong Xiaoguang and guard the Chinese military tent. We will definitely bring you good news when the time comes." The people around him stood up and surrounded Shen Wan. Shan, no matter what they say today, they can't let Shen Wanshan go.
Shen Wanshan sighed softly: "You don't know, firstly, I want to relive the style of the past, and secondly, how dare I disobey His Majesty's order?"
Several people were stunned. No wonder Shen Wanshan's words were so firm this time. It turned out to be because His Majesty gave the order.
This really stumped them. Others are easy to fool, but His Majesty is not easy to fool.
Putting aside the fact that His Majesty has some level of cultivation, Chang Qing beside him and the Jin Yiwei and Xichang fanzi under him can kill them all.
"Have you encountered a problem?" At this moment, a sudden voice sounded from behind. Everyone turned around and saw that Lu Ming was standing behind them with a smile. The bag in his hand was missing. He should have given it to Lin Tong.
Li Minghao raised his eyebrows and asked: "Senior Brother, what are you doing here? Is it possible that you have a way to solve the problem?"
Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, I have a solution. As long as I become like Mr. Shen, and then let Mr. Shen hide in a place where no one is around, won't this problem be solved?"
"Why did I forget this?" Li Minghao slapped his forehead. Yes, cultivators have a way to change. It would be enough to find someone to become like him. But Lu Ming took the initiative to ask for this, and he always felt weird. of.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Liu Gang grabbed Lu Ming's hands. A trace of displeasure flashed across Lu Ming's face, and then returned to normal: "Haha, that's natural. After all, helping you is equivalent to helping Minghao. , he is my junior brother, how can I not help?"
"Thank you." Liu Gang's sharp eyes naturally caught Lu Ming's flash of displeasure. He knew in his heart that it seemed that this senior brother had a big prejudice against them.
"Okay, everyone, don't mess up! Since the old man has made a decision, we must respect his decision. We just discussed it and arranged for the old man to go to Beizhou with the North District and Northeast District to stop Qiongqi." Since there is no problem. , Xiong Xiaoguang ran to the podium, picked up the microphone and shouted to people.
At this moment, the auditorium returned to silence again. Beads of sweat instantly appeared on the foreheads of the two persons in charge of the North District and the Northeast District. You must know that it was Shen Wanshan. If something really went wrong by then, first Not to mention how the imperial court will deal with them, the chiefs of the headquarters departments alone cannot let them go.
But now that Xiong Xiaoguang's words have been spoken, the two of them could only acquiesce. The two looked at each other and exchanged glances, which probably meant that after the meeting, they were going to figure out how to protect Shen Wanshan from the old man. Running around.
"Okay, the distribution is over. The person in charge of the Central District has to stay for a while. The other people can go back and make preparations. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, all the members of the Special Office will be dispatched. There must be no mistakes!"
"Here." Everyone in the auditorium stood up and shouted in unison.
A quarter of an hour later, there were only a few section chiefs left in the auditorium, as well as the head of the central district and Lin Tong Lu Ming.
Lin Tong came over, pulled Li Minghao aside, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Minghao, where am I going? Why don't you arrange a place for me? I can't be idle."
Li Minghao smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed a handful of candied fruit from the bag in Lin Tong's hand and ate it: "You go to Kunlun. Chaos is not easy to fight. I will feel more at ease if you go."
"Okay, by the way, what should I do with Senior Brother Wanchuan? We can't let him rest here, right?"
Li Minghao smacked his lips and said: "There is no way, his injury is unexpectedly slow to heal, so we can only let him rest here. If it doesn't work, I will let him go to a safe place for a walk. To be honest, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him again, and I really can't bear it."
Lin Tong nodded slightly: "Okay, no matter what you decide, I will support you. We say goodbye now. I don't know when we will see each other again. Brother Minghao, you have to take care of yourself."
Chapter completed!
