<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > "Rahu Genesis" in the game</h1>
In recent years, there is a god "Luo Hu" frequently appeared in domestic games, but many people can not find his origin, of which the "Heaven and Earth Robbery" series is the most famous, and recently also appeared mobile games. Finally I found its origin in the "Nine Yaos", but when I looked deeper, I found that this was a typical foreign god from our neighbor India.
The game "Heaven and Earth Robbery" creates a very interesting mythological world view, which borrows the relevant records of "Taichu" in the "Taishang Laojun Kai Tianjing": too initial separation of heaven and earth, clear and turbid dissection, Ming Xi Hongmeng, erection of images, an erection of the north and south, the right of the east and the west, the opening of the dark and the bright, the four dimensions of the light grid up and down, the inside and outside, the length and thickness, the male and female white and black, the size of the humble, often like night travel. At the beginning of the qing turbidity has been divided, the clear qi has risen to the heavens, the turbid qi has sunk into the earth, the three principles are divided, and from then on there is heaven and earth, and there is no sun and moon, and the heavens want to transform things, and there is no way to change, so they put the sun and moon in it, and the next light is meditated.
The game defines the Three Realms at this time as Hua Atmosphere, Chaos and Yu Yu. It is mentioned that in the early days, Nuwa and Fuxi came together to the bright world that was still chaotic. The two wanted to open up Hua Atmosphere, Chaos and Youyu into the three realms of Mingxiao, Dingtu, and Desolation, but Nuwa controlled Hua atmosphere and Fuxi controlled Chaos, but no one could control Yuyao. So they invited Luo Ju, the lord of the Yu Yu, to contribute to the creation of the world on the condition of sharing the Three Realms, and Luo Hu agreed.
Therefore, Fuxi opened the heavenly court, Nuwa built the human world, and Luo Ju created the earth, and the world finally took shape.
After understanding this magnificent structure for a long time, I was very strange, there are many creator gods in various countries, why would the game planning team take out Luo Hu, a god who is not very conspicuous in both Chinese mythology and Indian mythology, and work together with the ancestral gods such as Fuxi and Nuwa to create the world?
It wasn't until I studied Indian mythology that I knew why, because Rahu —
It is also the body of a human head snake!
It seems that the creator of the "human head and snake body" created human beings, which is the consensus of many people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > have to say "stirring milk sea"</h1>
So, let's go back to the original of this image and see what Luo Hu really is.
When it comes to Hindu mythology, one of the plots that can never be circumvented is "stirring the milk sea", this event changed the historical direction of the entire divine realm, established the basic pattern, and gave birth to a series of gods. Of course, if you're a chemistry graduate, you might think it's more like a chemical reaction produced by stirring reagents in a Petri dish when you look at the whole process.
After reading the "He is the strongest old man in Indian mythology, the grandfather of all the gods and asuras" that I wrote earlier, you can know such a background, similar to the setting of ancient Greek mythology, the two most powerful ethnic groups in Indian mythology , the Celestial Congregation (that is, the Shura, also known as the Attis, in the "Records of the Sky Wars" called The King of Shura Yiping, in fact, refers to the Heavenly Cong) and the Asura are born by the Gayapo Immortals and the three wives and the eldest wife and the second wife, respectively, that is, the Shura and the Asura are actually the same milk, brother tribe, The titles of the so-called gods (celestial beings) and demons (asuras) are very much meaning "heroes of victory and defeat".
Even if they are the descendants of the immortals, they have neither a peach orchard nor a ginseng fruit, so neither the celestial beings nor the asuras can get rid of the fate of the "five decays of the heavenly beings" and the cycle of reincarnation, and they are also going to die.
So they went to their grandfather Brahma to plead (Brahma ascended to Dasha, the daughter of Dasha married to the Gayapo Immortals), Brahma saw that they were pitiful, so he gathered Shiva and Vishnu together to discuss, and finally decided to carry out a large-scale chemical experiment, combining the power of the two great gods of Shiva and Vishnu, uniting the gods of heaven and Asura to stir the sea to produce nectar that can lead to immortality, benefiting both tribes.
Therefore, the person in charge of the project, Vishnu, transformed into an eight-armed giant statue, brandished his Dharma Snail, Wheel Treasure and other magic weapons into the air, recited the "Shixin Sutra" given to him by Brahma, and ordered Indra and other celestial gods, Asuras and other demon gods to throw herbs into the Great Milk Sea.
After chanting, he pulled out mount of Mandara, a branch of Mount Meru, as a pestle to stir up the sea. Using the dragon king Vasuki of the Dragon Clan as the rope of the pestle, the Asuras held the dragon's head and the gods held the dragon's tail, transformed themselves into a sea turtle (Tortoise), sank to the bottom of the sea to bear the weight of the pestle, and the gods shouted trumpets and began to overturn the river and the sea.
The process of stirring this time has been carried out for hundreds of years, and gradually the sea has become a milky white milk sea, and in the process of mixing, the luna sumo, the dionysus Van Lucerne, as well as gems, cows, ruyi trees, seven long-eared pegasus, white elephants and other gods were born. Eventually, the auspicious heaven (female) came to the world with the immortal nectar and became Vishnu's wife.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > "fierce star" that was cut in two</h1>
What was supposed to be good immortal nectar was shared between the gods and asuras, but it was a complete conspiracy.
Vishnu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, so that the Asuras would not drink the nectar of immortality, and turned into a beautiful woman to circle with them, and let the gods share the drink. Not all asuras are fools, and at this time an asura named Rahu discovers the conspiracy of the gods, so he mixes with the gods and drinks nectar, and is discovered by the sun god Suriya and the moon god Suma (aka Jandhara), who informs Vishnu. Vishnu was so angry that he immediately threw out the Wheel of Myokan and cut Rahu in two.
At this time, Luo Ju had already drunk the immortal manna, so he did not live or die, his two bodies were thrown into space, and the lower half of the snake became Ji Du (Ketu), after which Luo Ju became synonymous with meteors and comets, becoming the most terrifying fierce star.
On the other hand, Luo Ju's upper body hated the sun god and the moon god to the bone, so he chased the sun and moon endlessly, devouring them from time to time. And because he had no body, the sun and moon that were swallowed leaked out of his stomach again--this is the origin of the eclipse and the lunar eclipse.
Later, Luo Ju and Ji Du were absorbed into the Jiuyao of Indian Buddhist Tantra and introduced to China with the Tang Dynasty (the specific content has changed), and then merged into Chinese mythology.
