According to legend, the daughter of the Yellow Emperor was named Ray, later known as the Female Ray, she was originally born with the national color Tianxiang, is a great beauty of the National Color, not only beautiful and kind, but the Female Ray later fell seriously ill and died, just when the Divine Beast Monkey at that time in order to retaliate against the Female Ray to make the Female Ray look so beautiful, so the Female Ray forcibly injected one of her three souls into the female ray's body, wanting to occupy the beautiful body of the female ray.
However, because only one soul entered the body of the female ray, it was impossible to completely occupy the body of the female ray, and finally the soul of the female ray was completely fused with the three souls and seven rays of the female ray, and the female ray was able to continue to survive, but the female ray began to change because of the fusion of the soul of the ray, her appearance also began to change, the forehead began to become very tight, the hair began to turn white like the hair of the ray, and the water in the body dried up, and the original plump and delicate demon figure also became only a dry figure like a skeleton shelf. At the same time, her body can also emit a very powerful heat to quickly evaporate the water within a hundred miles of the surroundings.
Because of this change in the female ray, it also led to the outbreak of drought in the surrounding area as soon as she appeared, so people also called her a dry ray. The Yellow Emperor was also very helpless about this, and could only exile the female rays to the sparsely populated northwest region at that time, which is why the northwest region lacked water sources.
Later, when Emperor Yan and Emperor Xuanyou were defeated, he asked the Yellow Emperor to jointly attack Xuanyou, and Xuanyu united with Father Quao, so the Great War between the Yellow Emperor and the Yandi Alliance against Xuanyou and the Alliance of Father Kua began, that is, the Battle of Zhuolu.
In the battle of chasing deer, the Yellow Emperor invited the god Ying Long to come to help in the battle, Ying Long was actually a winged flying dragon, legend has it that he could raise a monstrous flood, so in the battle against Xuan You, Ying Long rose up a monstrous flood, and the army of Chong You collapsed, so the Yellow Emperor took the opportunity to order people to attack, and beat Xuan You to retreat.
Xuan You was also very worried, and at this time, Father Kwa recommended to Xuan You to invite the Wind And Rain Master who were practicing on Mount Tai to come to help. Xuan You then ordered his father to go to Mount Tai to ask Feng Bo and Yu Shi to come down the mountain to help in the battle.
After inviting Feng Bo and the Rain Master, Xuan You went to war with the Yellow Emperor again, this time only to see two strange people suddenly appear in the clouds on the battlefield, one strange person was a bird head person, but it grew a snake tail, and the other was a big worm of the silkworm head person, in fact, these two monsters were the wind bo and the rain master, the monster with the tail of the bird head and the snake tail was the wind bo, named Fei Lian, and the big worm of the silkworm head person was the rain master, named Ping, and both of them were actually monsters who had cultivated for a thousand years on Mount Tai.
Only to see Feng Bo Feilian holding a banana fan in the air against the Yellow Emperor's army, the wind was suddenly fierce, and the Rain Master Ping opened his mouth to blow at the Yellow Emperor's army, and suddenly the dark clouds were covered with lightning and thunder, and then the heavy rain poured down.
And the Yellow Emperor's side of ying long also set off a monstrous flood, so a picture of the end of the day appeared, only to see Ying Long and Feng Bo, Rain Division on the battlefield at the same time rise monstrous flood and wild storms, but Ying Long finally defeated the two of them, under the demon law of Wind Bo and Rain Division, Yan Huang Emperor's army was defeated.
At the critical moment, the Yellow Emperor remembered his daughter Female Ray, who had the ability to make the Red Sun in the Baili area burn, so the Yellow Emperor sent someone to invite the Female Ray to come to help in the battle.
Due to her own attributes of bringing great drought, the female ray had been crowned as a drought god by the heavens at that time, in fact, she was just able to subdue the wind and rain master, so the female ray cast her magic as soon as she arrived at Zhuolu.
On the battlefield, I only saw that Feng Bo and the rain master were shaking their mouths again, and the female ray pulled a handful of white hairs from her body, and she blew at the wind and rain master, only to see these white hairs instantly change into ten thousand rays of light shooting at the wind and rain master, and in a flash, the hands of the wind bo were shaken up, and the fan in his hand also fell, and the rain master was illuminated by the light and the corners of his mouth trembled and it was difficult to open his mouth, and the wind stopped for a while.
The soldiers of Xuan You's army, who were illuminated by the light of the female ray, also felt sweaty, dry mouth, and difficult to walk, so the Yellow Emperor took the opportunity to order an attack on Xuan You's army, and this battle Xuan You was completely destroyed by the Yellow Emperor's army, and he himself was killed by the Yellow Emperor.
After that, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor fought fiercely, and the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor launched the Battle of Hanquan, and finally the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and became the co-lord of the world, which was also the first great unification of the Chinese nation, and the Jiuli clan of Xuan you was also integrated into the Huaxia clan after the defeat, so the Chinese was also known as the descendants of Yan Huang.
In 1992, historians also put forward the three ancestors theory, breaking the traditional concept of becoming a king and defeating Kou, and revering the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor and Xuan You as the three ancestors of China, and the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor and Xuan You also represent the integration and unification of the Chinese nation.
Legend has it that after the Battle of Zhuolu, Ying Long was defeated by Feng Bo and the Rain Division and could no longer ascend to heaven, so he took refuge in the south, because Ying Long had the ability to rise a monstrous flood, so southern China has had a lot of rain since ancient times.
In fact, the female ray had ascended to heaven before the Battle of Zhuolu to become the god of drought in the sky, but because in the battle of chasing deer, she alone lost too much mana against the wind and rain divisions, and after the battle of Zhuolu, she could not return to heaven like Ying Long, so the Yellow Emperor could only arrange for her to return to the northwest to live on Top of Kunshan.
As long as the female ray will cause drought everywhere she goes, but she is not a peaceful person, like to play in the mountains, because she often goes down the mountain to hang out, so the north, especially the northwest region, is very easy to cause drought, so people hate her and are afraid to think that she is a disaster star, so the original beautiful woman has become a scourge that everyone avoids.
At first, the image of the female ray in the folk was only a disaster god who could cause drought, but in the Qing Dynasty, some Unscrupulous Taoist mages stole corpses to refine zombies, and then named themselves as female rays to deceive the people to pray for rain, only to say that they had surrendered the female rays, in fact, they were just zombies they refined.
Those unscrupulous Daoist priests of the Qing Dynasty really refined zombies according to the image of female rays handed down from ancient times, and these zombies were refined by The Taoists were very similar to the appearance of female rays, and the water in the corpse was depleted, the whole was withered, and then the white hair was all over, which was very similar to the legendary female ray.
Therefore, people who like to watch Hong Kong zombie movies will wonder why the zombies in the movies are all dressed up in Qing Dynasty costumes, which is because the zombies are refined by those unscrupulous Taoist priests in the Qing Dynasty, used to deceive the people and cheat money. Moreover, the specific terms of zombies are also circulated from the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty's "Zi Bu Shu" written by the great talent Yuan Ming and the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" written by the great talent Ji Xiaolan, there are specific descriptions and divisions of zombies, and in "Zi Bu Yu", Yuan Ming divides zombies into eight categories: purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, hair zombies, flying zombies, wandering corpses, ambush corpses, and non-fossilized bones; In the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", Ji Xiaolan believes that zombies have three aliases: moving corpses, walking shadows, and walking corpses.
But whether it is Ji Xiaolan or Yuan Ming, they all recognize that the female ray is the originator of the zombie, that is to say, the image characteristics of the zombie are born from the female ray, in fact, this is still due to those Taoist mages, who make them want to use the zombie to pray for rain, and the female ray is the god of drought, then the zombie naturally has to be linked to her.
In the "Zi Bu Whisper", a story was recorded: In the twenty-sixth year of Qianlong (1761), when there was a drought in the capital, a young pawn named Zhang Gui, who wanted to go to Liangxiang to deliver official documents for one of the capitals, and when he went to the suburbs, he stopped in a pavilion, and happened to meet a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked very beautiful, and she invited Zhang Gui to his home to stop and drink water.
Zhang Gui coveted the beauty of the woman, so he went home with her, and after arriving home, the woman took the initiative to seduce Zhang Gui into the house to do free gymnastics, Zhang Gui thought that he had a sexual encounter, so he went into the house with her to do gymnastics, the two from night until the time of the chicken chirping, the woman got up to leave, Zhang Gui could not stay.
Because Zhang Gui was very tired after fighting all night, he did not care where the woman went, and he slept in bed. As a result, Zhang Gui opened his eyes at dawn and saw that he was sleeping on the grave of the mass burial post, which frightened him, so he quickly fled.
Zhang Gui later went to Liangxiang to deliver official documents and also missed the hour, and Du Tong was furious and personally interrogated Zhang Gui for delaying the hour, and Zhang Gui had to truthfully tell Du Tong that he had been sucked by a female ghost.
Du Tong did not believe it at first, but later saw That Zhang Gui's temperament was weak, and he also said the specific location and person, so Du Tong sent someone to the village near the suburbs to investigate this matter, and under investigation, there was a woman surnamed Zhang in a village in the suburbs who was not married and had an adulterous affair with a man, and after the incident, the woman was ashamed of herself.
Since the suicide of this woman surnamed Zhang, there are often beautiful women in that area at night to confuse passers-by with demons, so Du Tong ordered people to dig up the grave of the woman surnamed Zhang, and after opening the coffin, he saw a formed zombie, between the woman's face, but her whole body was covered with white hair, so they all ordered people to take child urine and black dog blood on her, and then burned her body at noon.
It is also strange to say that the people of the capital burned this female zombie, and the next day the capital rained heavily, and the drought was defused. Therefore, people at that time all thought that this woman surnamed Zhang turned into a zombie after death and became a dryad, and the Taoist mages at that time also believed that the person who died by hanging himself was more powerful than a zombie, and it was more necessary to absorb yang qi by confusing people through demon law, and if this zombie was burned, it would inevitably make the sky rain heavily.
This is the image of the female ray that was circulated in the Qing Dynasty to become the originator of the zombie, and the demon law of the child urine and black dog blood that can crack the female ray was also circulated during the Qing Dynasty, so these legends of the Qing Dynasty are copied in the Hong Kong zombie film.
Therefore, as the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, the female ray was originally a beautiful woman, and as a result, yin and yang mistakenly became the god of drought, and in the Qing Dynasty, she became the originator of zombies, so how could she not let people be afraid to avoid it.
But the story of the female ray is also very miserable, a good beautiful woman, who has become a person who does not look like a ghost, and has become the originator of zombies and the king of all ghosts in the future, in short, the legend and story of the female ray is really very miserable.
