Nanshan Reize God

Excerpt from "The Chronicle of Mountains and Seas, The God of Spring, Sentence Mang"

Mao Anxi

Tick tock tock -

Whoops, whoops, who

Tick-tock --

The rain is like a line. Rain fell from the sky and lapped on the wizard's bluestone paths, grass, trees and eaves. The sky was gloomy, the clouds were accumulating an inky gray, and the god Ofeze flew over from a low altitude, and his belly was thundering with lightning.

Xue Jia stood under the eaves, took the rain with his hand, tasted it, and Wu Cheng asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Snow Plus shook his head, and there was no taste. Wu Cheng put a bamboo bucket on Xuejia's head and said, "Go, go to Sawano Palace!" ”

Snow Add said, "Where does it rain?" ”

Wu Cheng also said a little reluctantly, "Yeah. ”

The two of them first pulled up their trouser legs, then tied the two straw shoes together with a straw rope, hung them around their necks, and then ran out the door barefoot. As soon as you step into the rain, the rain is still a little cool, Xuejia unconsciously shrinks his body, the rain splashes the soil, stepping on a foot is all mud, the ground is a little slippery, you need to grasp the ground with your toes to walk steadily, the rain crackles and keeps hitting the bucket.

Along the way, the grass is shiny and the rain is high. Near sawano Palace, there is a turquoise green covering the lake. Xuejia stood and looked closely, it turned out to be duckweed, Wu Cheng also stood side by side with Xuejia, only to see the rain turn over duckweed, duckweed moved with the water, and the willow flowers by the lake were flourishing and constantly falling.

Seeing the scattered branches of peonies on the side of the road, Xuejia said, "The peony flowers are all withered." ”

Wu Cheng said, "And so is Mai Hua." ”

When she finally arrived at Sawano Palace, Yukika saw the rows of white flowers blooming beautifully, so she said, "This one is still in bloom." ”

Wu Cheng said, "It's Di Jing! ”

"The dragon does not compete for spring, and loneliness blooms at the latest."

The witch teacher wearing a bucket hat suddenly made a sound behind them, and the voice sounded a little sad.

Wu Cheng asked, "Teacher, what is loneliness?" ”

SnowGa also looked puzzled and looked at the witch teacher. The witch teacher's face gradually turned red with embarrassment, and at this time, Wu Jing and Wu Zero reached saw sawano Palace holding hands.

Wu Wen, who came later, put his hands on Wu Jing's body and jokingly said, "Two people like this are not lonely, so guess what loneliness is?" ”

Wu Cheng pointed at The Witch Teacher and shouted, "I know! I know! No one to hold hands is called loneliness. ”

Hearing this, Shega quickly grasped the Voodoo Teacher's right hand with both hands and said, "That's it!" ”

Wu Wen laughed loudly, and Wu Jing and Wu Zero quickly threw away their hands and went to the teacher each, while Wu Cheng also walked over and held the left hand of the teacher of Wu Li deadly. Being stared at by the two children, the witch teacher secretly regretted that he should not have hurt the spring there just now.

Teacher Wu Li said, "I originally wanted to take everyone to Nanshan to visit the God of Lei Ze, but it was still raining, so what should I do?" Go or not? ”

Six children were tongue-tied, and everyone shouted, "Go!" Going! ”

Wu Dong said, "We are not afraid of rain!" ”

Wu Song said, "Yes! ”

The other children echoed that too.

Seeing this, the witch teacher said, "Good! Then put on your bucket and go! ”

Everyone was like a march, one followed by the other, and it didn't take long to reach Nanshan, and the rain gradually stopped. There are many trees on the South Mountain, laurel, oak, tung, and mulberry trees, and cuckoos fly up and down in flocks, constantly calling "cuckoo - cuckoo -" to remind people that it is time to sow. Several cockscomb birds fell in pieces, each stopping among the mulberry trees, and the crown of feathers spread out like a fan. The children shouted and rushed to the mulberry tree, and the cockscomb bird was startled by the noise, so frightened that it put the crown on the scalp, slowly flapped its wings, and flew away in a wave-like manner, but it did not fly far and stopped on another mulberry tree, and also issued a "flutter -" thick and low chirp, and the crown of feathers rose and swirled and fell.

The trees were tall, piercing the sky, and a series of "chirping" sounds came from the trees, and a group of white monkeys suddenly rushed towards the witch teacher and the children. They make noise, come fiercely, and snatch the bucket on the children's heads with lightning speed, and the children who react quickly hold the bucket, and the children who do not react are robbed. The successful white monkey learned the appearance of a man, put the bucket on his head, scratched his head and scratched his ears, and demonstrated triumphantly.

Xuejia, WuDong, and Wuxing's bucket hat were snatched away, and Wu Dong was so angry that he pointed at the monkey and shouted, and Wu Xing and Xue Jia ran to chase after it, trying to get the bucket back. When the white monkey saw someone coming to chase, he was even more energetic, climbing the thick branches of the trellis tree for a while, grabbing the thin branches for a while, dangling in front of the eyes of the chasing people, but not letting people catch it. Xue Jia and Wu Xing ran out of breath and failed to retrieve the bucket.

The witch teacher shouted to the white monkey, "We are the guests who have come to visit the god Reize, please return the bucket!" ”

When the white monkeys heard that they were the guests of the god Reize, they first froze, and then began to smile at the hippie smiles, and passed the grabbed buckets to each other among the monkeys, which was very rampant.

Boom -- Boom—Boom,

The human-faced dragon body of the God of Thunder drummed its belly wildly, and the thunder of the heavens resounded above, and the God of Thunder came, and all the white monkeys immediately scattered as birds and beasts, threw their buckets on the ground and fled!

The Voodoo teacher stepped forward and said, "We are from the Kingdom of Wuxian and the children want to visit you!" ”

Reize shen laughed, the laughter was deafening, and said, "Be well! Then come with me to the Temple of Thunder! ”

Everyone followed TheRaize to the Thunder God Temple, and the closer they got, the heavier the water vapor became. Steaming water, drizzling rain from overhead, misty moisture filled the space, and a slimy dampness rushed towards the witch teacher and the children, but it was not cold, but it was a little hot. The Temple of Thunder is a large black house with no altars, no prayer flags, and rows of moisture-resistant Metasequoia and neem trees planted around it, with wet trunks and water black. Shega reached out and touched the trunk, as if squeezing out water.

Entering the temple, the dampness became heavier and heavier, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to the skin. Wu Liu asked, "Lei Ze God, why is it so damp here?" ”

Reize's voice was like a bell, and he said, "Because I am the god of Reize!" ”

Teacher Wu Li added, "Here, the Ying Dragon who lives with rain." ”

Xue Jia said, "Ying Long? ”

The witch teacher said, "Ying Long awakens with the thunder of the god Lei Ze, because it will not be long before it is the season of rain." ”

The god Lei Ze said: "The five yangs are determined by one yin, the ze is water, the landing is rain, and the rain is born of a hundred grains." ”

The children were dazed. Teacher Wu Li said, "Before we said that Yang Qi is a small child and Yin Qi is an old man's home, but now Yang Qi has gradually grown into a young adult, and Yin Qi has aged to the point of almost dying. ”

Wu Xing said, "So now is Yang Qi winning over Yin Qi?" ”

Wu Li Teacher: "That's right! With the prosperity of yang qi, yin qi ascends to heaven and becomes rain falling, and Ze is covered by the earth. ”

Wu Song asked, "Is Ying Long awake now?" ”

The god Reiser said, "Wake up, locked up in the basement room." ”

Wu Liu said, "Why lock up?" ”

The God of Reize said, "Haha! It's really a naïve child, Ying Long has a big temper, and if he doesn't close it, he will probably flood the world. ”

Snow Plus asked, "Can we go and see him?" ”

The God of Reiser said, "Yes! Come with me! ”

Everyone followed Lei Ze to the ground room, through the dark and wet corridor, and then arrived at the ground room. The ground room was hotter and damper than outside, the water vapor steamed, and the roar of the dragon was heard in the distance.

Wu Cheng said to Xuejia, "It seems that there is a child's voice." ”

Shega Ping listened quietly for a while, but there seemed to be and there seemed to be none. However, the closer you get to where Ying Long is, the clearer the child's laughter becomes. Snow Adder asked the witch teacher, "Are there any other children coming?" ”

The witch teacher also looked at the God of Lei Ze with a puzzled face, and the God of Lei Ze quickened his pace and ran further inside. Suddenly, The God of Thunder roared, "Co-worker?! ”

I saw a small child standing on top of a stone wall that was tens of feet high, and the stone wall was only about three feet from the ceiling of the Thunder Temple, just enough to stand the next child. The child stood on a high place and peed on Ying Long, who was enraged and went mad in the room surrounded by dozens of walls, yelling at the child. However, the child was not at all intimidated by Ying Long's anger, but became more and more excited, and began to throw stones at Ying Long and make a grimace. Ying Long was full of fiery red, and hit the stone wall with his wings, the crackling sound was incessant, and the gushing water column spewed out from his mouth, and the Wu Xianguo children standing outside the stone wall were all frightened and stunned. The water rushed out from inside the stone walls, and the children did not have an inch of dryness from head to toe, and they were drenched like chickens in soup.

The witch teacher led the children to stand a little farther, and The God Ofe jumped above the stone wall, grabbed the mischievous child, and scolded loudly: "Gonggong, if you do this again, I will let your father beat you!" ”

The boy named Gonggong combed his horns and braids, his upper body was naked, and he wore a pair of fiery red pants on the lower body, and he was not afraid of Reize's thunderous scolding, but instead rolled his eyelids and made a grimace. Lei Ze was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, grabbed the back of Gonggong's neck, and threw it out with great force, and The Witch Teacher rushed up with an arrow to catch Gonggong, afraid that he would fall. But the co-worker did not appreciate it, kicked at the shin of the Voodoo teacher, and the pain made the Voodoo teacher grin, and the co-worker took the opportunity to break away from the Voodoo teacher, made a grimace at the crowd, and ran away with a cigarette.

Lei Ze Shen said to the witch teacher, "It's really not a coincidence, this boy has come to bully us Ying Long again, the children may not be able to see Ying Long today, I have to go and appease it now." ”

Teacher Wu Li hurriedly said, "There is no thing, we are abrupt, so let's go first!" Take good care of Ying Long! "After saying that, lead the children out of the basement."

As soon as he left the basement, Wu Cheng asked, "Who is that little boy?" ”

Teacher Wu Li said, "It looks like Uncle Zhu Rong's son." ”

Wu Dong said, "Uncle Zhu Rong, the god of summer?" ”

Teacher Wu Li nodded, and Wu Song asked again, "How old is he?" How can it be so naughty? ”

Teacher Wu Li said, "About five years old, I have long heard that Zhu Rong's younger son is infinitely powerful and clever, but he is stubborn, and today he really saw it." ”

Seeing a big fiery red bird in the distance, a small child standing at the foot of the firebird pointed and asked, "Teacher, is that a co-worker?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Shegar's fingers, and sure enough, they were co-workers, and he climbed up the back of the giant fire-colored bird's paws. The witch teacher said that it was Suzaku, Uncle Zhu Rong's divine beast. As soon as he rode on the Suzaku, Gonggong commanded the Suzaku to spit fire, and began to wantonly destroy the Metasequoia and Neem trees around the thunder god temple, and in an instant, the sea of fire spread to the thunder temple, and the witch teacher was also stunned by the situation in front of him. The God of Thunder suddenly flew out of the ground room and flew towards gonggong like a sharp arrow. Seeing that Lei Ze was in a hurry, gonggong rushed over, immediately let Suzaku fly into the sky, and quickly and triumphantly fled.

Because the fire was too fierce, The God of Reize did not have the heart to chase after the fleeing co-workers, but turned around to extinguish the fire. The witch teacher felt that the Temple of Thunder was not a place to stay for a long time, and with the frightened children, he quickly left.

Xue Jia thought to himself: After the co-workers return home, will Uncle Zhu Rong teach him a lesson?

What is the meaning of fairy tales?

Mao Anxi: Fairy tales are sowing seeds. Even though I know that life in the real world will encounter many unsatisfactory things, and I know that most of my dreams will not come true, as an adult, I am still more willing to tell my children that "dreams will come true" and plant a seed called kindness, dreams, and bravery in children's hearts. Because I believe that through the wind and rain, this seed will always grow into a tree that is full of life in the wilderness.

About the reasons and metaphors of some plot settings in "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas".

Mao Anxi: The basis of the four seasons god setting in "The Chronicle of Mountains and Seas" is the "Ritual Record and Moon Order". The names, five elements, colors, and symbolisms (birth, growth, harvest, and collection) of the gods involved in the four seasons are also derived from the Moon Ling Chapter, and the song of the year is also taken directly from the Moon Order.

Since I chose the Book of Rites written in the Han Dynasty as the basis for my creation, most of the rituals involved in the text are also based on this. Characters, tribal names, mountain names, strange birds and beasts, and gods come from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Therefore, the "Chronicle of Mountains and Seas" is to write about the cultural connotations hidden in the traditional customs and customs of ancient China, so the era is wide and can be said to be China before modern times, but because all the characters in the book are from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it can be said that it is completely ancient times.
