Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity. Covering the masses of life and looking up to benevolence, inventing all things is good......
In ancient myths, mounts often play an important role, not only as a mount for the gods, but also as a symbol of the power and glory of their owners.
Among these mounts, there is a special existence, that is, the mounts of the four Innate Saints, and their strength is amazing.
According to the records of relevant mythological materials, Nuwa Niangniang's mount is a phoenix, and Yuan Shi Tianzun's mount is nine true dragons, so what are the mounts of the other two saints? What's so great about it? Let's talk about it today.
Kowloon Agarwood - the mount of the Yuan Shi Tianzun
According to the relevant records of "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West", in addition to Hongjun Laozu, there are four congenital saints, they are Nuwa Niangniang, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun (Daode Tianzun) and Tongtian Sect Master (Lingbao Tianzun).
In ancient mythology, the last three are the three Qings of Taoism (Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing), and the Yuan Shi Tianzun is Yuqing, whose skills are not the highest, but the mount is the most stylish.
His mount, named Nine Dragons Agarwood, is a breathtaking treasure, a small wooden cart pulled by nine five-clawed golden dragons, each massive and majestic, with dragon scales shining as bright as gold.
The body is delicately carved with patterns, exuding a faint fragrance, as if you are in a fairyland. The production of the Kowloon agarwood chariot is extremely exquisite, and it is said that it was completed by the ancestor of Hongjun himself.
In order to build this chariot, Hongjun Ancestor mined the light spirit of the nine-fold blue fall, the dark iron of the nine netherworlds, and then collected the East China Sea agarwood in the world and refined it with the "Qiankun Ding".
The nine five-clawed golden dragons on the chariot were personally sealed by Hongjun Ancestor to ensure that they did not get out of control. The divine chariot composed of nine five-clawed golden dragons is extremely powerful, and once it appears on the battlefield and sweeps more than 90% of the monsters, the demons are all terrified.
On the way to the west, Tang Seng has encountered the black bear spirit and the bull demon king, if the white dragon horse is replaced by the Nine Dragons Agarwood, it is estimated that no one will dare to provoke easily, and the nine five-clawed golden dragons are enough to crush most of the monsters.
Kui Niu - the mount of the Tongtian Sect Master
The Tongtian Sect Master's mount, Kui Niu, is an extremely mysterious divine beast, which is said to have appeared during the Chaos Period. Kui Niu's huge body exudes silver light, and his eyes are blazing, like two shining stars.
Its hooves stomped on the ground, and each step seemed to shake the entire mountain range, bringing a roaring sound. Kui Niu is also a kind of divine beast with extremely high cultivation, and it is said that every time it takes a step, there will be a storm and thunder and lightning, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
Behind Kui Niu, there is often a storm, as if its appearance is a subversion of heaven and earth. The Tongtian Sect Master rode the Kui Niu majestic and invincible, and the power of the Kui Niu in the battle was immeasurable, and its blow was enough to destroy the mountains and rivers.
In "Journey to the West", a bull demon king beat Sun Wukong to the point that he couldn't find the north, but this cow is almost not a star and a half compared to Kui Niu. If Goku encounters Kui Niu, he will be defeated even if he deals with it carefully.
Banjiao Green Bull - Taishang Laojun's mount
In "Journey to the West", Taishang Laojun's mount, the Banjiao Green Ox, looks very ordinary at first glance, and it does not have much advantage among the ancient beasts, but it also has its own uniqueness.
The Platehorn Green Ox is tall, covered with hard scale armor, and a pair of horns that are abnormally sharp, and seem to be able to easily penetrate everything.
In "Journey to the West", Banjiao Qingniu is portrayed as a frivolous and arrogant character, who once secretly went down to earth to find happiness while Taishang Laojun's shepherd boy was asleep.
On the top of the mountain, it established its own territory and lived a free life, when the Tang monk and apprentice passed by, the banjiao green cow did not know how to eat the Tang monk, showing a selfish and greedy side.
Sun Wukong came to the rescue and launched a fierce battle with the Banjiao Green Bull, at first the Banjiao Green Cow did not use magic weapons, only the power of the flesh, and was still able to fight with Sun Wukong to a draw, which shows how strong its strength is.
After using the magic weapon, Sun Wukong invited almost all the gods of the heavenly court, and after a hard battle, he still failed to defeat the Banjiao Green Bull, and finally Taishang Laojun came out to surrender it, which shows the power of the Iron Plate Green Bull.
Nuwa Niangniang's mount
The first three innate saints are important figures in Chinese mythology and legend, and their mounts are very famous.
Nuwa Niangniang is the goddess of creation in Chinese mythology, legend has it that she used five-colored stones to make up the sky and created human beings, and is revered as the mother of the earth, what is her mount?
Legend has it that Nuwa Niangniang's mount was a phoenix, which was the only existence at that time, and this could be a divine beast that was more powerful than the dragon.
We all say that the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, in fact, the phoenix is much more powerful than the dragon, "Journey to the West" once said that Pangu used an axe to split the chaos to create heaven and earth, and when the chaos first opened, the beast was long with the unicorn, and the bird was honored with the phoenix.
The phoenix has two children, one is a Dapeng bird and the other is a phoenix, and the Dapeng bird is an existence that feeds on dragons, which shows how powerful the phoenix is.
As an aside, Nuwa has an older brother named Fuxi, and some people say that they are lovers. He is the ancestor of Chinese mythology, revered as the founder of human civilization, and is accompanied by a mythical beast.
It was a four-hoofed horse, named Shenjun, with light and powerful steps, and every hoof print carried the breath of life, accompanying Fu Xi to measure the world and establish gossip knowledge.
For example, Dayu's mount when controlling the water is a bear, this thing can not only subdue demons and eliminate demons, but also can move mountains and reclaim the sea with its own strength, and the golden hoop stick is just a ruler to measure the depth of the water.
It can be seen that the great powers of the mythical world choose the divine beasts according to their own characteristics. Overall, the mythical mount is not just a means of transportation, but also a symbol of the power of the owner.
The mounts of the Taoist Sanqing, such as the Nine Dragons Agarwood Ring, the Kui Ox, and the Banjiao Green Ox, all show the magic and magnificence in the mythical world.
Their existence adds infinite color to mythological stories, and makes people feel the magnificence and mystery of ancient myths, and feel the wisdom and power contained in them.
Speaking of this, it can't help but make people wonder, Kowloon Agarwood Ring, Kui Niu, Banjiao Green Bull and Phoenix, who has the better comprehensive strength of these four mounts? What do you think differently about this?
