I continued: "Originally, the Yanshi lineage was extremely mysterious. Except for the contribution of puppets to the government during the reign of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty, it never appeared in the eyes of the world. However, the descendants of the Mohist family inadvertently discovered the secret of the Yanshi lineage - they We are reinventing Jiu Ying.”
An Ran and Ye Xun asked in unison: "What does it mean to reshape Jiu Ying?"
Jiuying is a legendary ancient ferocious beast that can spit water and fire, and its cry is like a baby crying. It has nine heads, so it is called Jiuying. During the reign of Emperor Yao, the waters brought disaster to the world, and he was shot and killed by Hou Yi in the fierce waters of Beidi.
I said in a deep voice: "The descendant of the Moh family originally wanted to make friends with the descendants of the Yanshi lineage and study the art of the mechanism together, but he did not expect that they were actually assisting the pre-Qin warlocks to resurrect the Nine Infants."
"During the pre-Qin period, sorcerers pursued immortality. In addition to refining elixirs of immortality, they also used various incredible methods. One of them believed in the Nine Infants and believed that the nine-headed gods had nine heads and nine lives. One life could live for a thousand years, and the Nine Infants could be resurrected. Naturally, we can get the secret of Nine Infants’ immortality.”
An Ran couldn't help but said: "In ancient times, there were thousands of years of pre-Qin times. Legend has it that when Jiu Ying was shot by Hou Yi, an arrow penetrated his nine heads. Could it be that in the pre-Qin period, could the sorcerer still find Jiu Ying's complete head? "
I shook my head and said: "The secret letter did not explain this. Zhuge Liang recorded one thing, that is, Yanshi's lineage was using machine skills to shape Jiu Ying's body. And..."
I said solemnly: "According to the Mohist disciple's description, evil sorcerers have successfully transferred human heads to the bodies of beasts or humans, just like the demon servants we saw."
An Ran was startled and said: "The people in the secret realm of Huangfen Mountain are not Gongshu successors, but evil sorcerers?"
"Yes!" I nodded, "Besides, she has mastered certain secrets of the mechanism."
I continued: "According to Zhuge Liang's account, although the mechanism skills of the Yanshi lineage are exquisite, they also have shortcomings. Some of the key parts also need help from someone, so they deceived the Mohist disciples into the secret realm."
"After the Mohist disciple who was deceived into the secret place discovered the secret of the evil sorcerer's attempt to resurrect the Nine Infants, he quietly complied with it and finally gained the other party's trust. He sent the news back in the name of inviting Mohist masters to jointly research the institution. The Mo family."
"Although the Mohist family had been divided into three at that time, the essence of the Mohist family being all-loving and non-aggressive has not changed. The three Mohists joined forces to build a city in Heizhugou overnight and trapped the Yanshi lineage."
"The Yanshi lineage has united with the evil warlocks to break through several times but failed. However, the Mohists also suffered heavy casualties. They can only invite public losers to strengthen the city and jointly besiege the evil warlocks."
"Under the lobbying of the Mohists, the Gongshu family finally rushed to Shu and joined forces with the Mohists to fight against the evil spirits. The two major sects sent generations of elite disciples to Heizhugou, and they also built a One after another, the mechanical walls have tightly trapped the Yanshi lineage in the core of the city."
"Unfortunately, the two sects invested too much energy in suppressing evil spirits and lost too many elite disciples. As a result, the secret technique of mechanism was gradually lost due to constant consumption. Gradually, the secret technique of mechanism was no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, and the secret technique of mechanism was lost in the city. It also gradually disappeared from people’s sight.”
I took the secret message and said: "Back then, in order to prevent the young people from plotting evil secrets, the two sects always kept the existence of the government city secret, leaving only a simple map."
An Ran exclaimed in shock: "What are you talking about? Zhuge Liang didn't leave any map for entering and exiting the city?"
I shook my head and said, "It's not Zhuge Liang, but the seniors of the two sects. The real map of Guan City was never put down on paper and was passed down orally. Zhuge Liang was the last person to master the map of Guan City."
An Ran asked: "What's going on with Gongshu Siyue? She can't be an evil sorcerer who ran away from the government city, right?"
"Yes." I nodded, "Her name is not Gongshu Siyue, but Qin Siyue. According to legend, she comes from the Qin Dynasty, and her father was one of the sorcerers active in the Qin Dynasty."
An Ran couldn't help but take a breath: "You mean, Qin Siyue has lived for more than two thousand years?"
I explained: "It's just Zhuge Liang's speculation that Qin Siyue came from the Qin Dynasty. When he met Qin Siyue at the beginning, he indeed regarded her as a descendant of the Gongshu Family."
"According to Zhuge Liang's speculation, Qin Siyue is likely to be the spirit of the Nine Infants who escaped from the city."
Ye Xun was shocked and said, "Are you sure?"
I shook my head and said: "Even Zhuge Liang is not sure about this. After all, this kind of thing is too mysterious. Even if Zhuge Liang himself is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and is good at using ghosts and gods, he is not sure."
Tao Siyu couldn't help but interjected: "What are you talking about?"
"We are talking about the origin of Jiuying. According to legend, Jiuying originated from Fuxi."
I explained: "According to legend, Fuxi created the Bagua, which is the origin of Chinese metaphysics and even Chinese writing. In order to commemorate Fuxi, later generations built the Fuxi Diagram Platform."
"Legend has it that there is more than one place where Fuxi drew the Eight Diagrams. Now there are Fuxi Eight Diagrams Stations one mile north of Huaining County and thirty miles east of Cai County, Henan Province. However, it is said that the place where Fuxi first drew the Eight Diagrams was the place where Fuxi was born. , so during the Chengji period, some people also cast a hexagram painting platform as a commemoration."
"According to legend, every time after it snows, traces of Fuxi's paintings will still appear under Cheng Ji's painting platform. The gossips painted by Fuxi on the ground will become spiritual over time. They will become auspicious in prosperous times and become auspicious in troubled times. It's a disaster. Jiuying is the transformation of the essence of the two hexagrams Zhongkan and Li."
"There are four short paintings and one long painting in Kan Gua, two short paintings and two long paintings in Li Gua, a total of nine paintings, so Jiu Ying was born with nine heads. Because the Bagua diagram in Chengji was painted by Fuxi when he was young, so Jiu The baby’s head looks like that of a baby.”
"Kan is the middle male, so there are five male-shaped heads among Jiuying's nine heads; Li is the middle female, so the other four heads of Jiuying are female-shaped. Kan is water and black in color, and the five male-shaped heads are all good at water. Wearing black clothes; Li is red in color because of fire. The four female-shaped heads are all good at using fire and are dressed in red clothes."
When I said this, I looked at Ye Xun: "When Zhuge Liang first met Qin Siyue, she was wearing a red dress, and there was a hot air within three feet of her body. That's why Zhuge Liang suspected that the other party was the spirit of Jiuying. Incarnation.”
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "What happened next?"
"When Zhuge Liang first met Qin Siyue, the other party once proposed to fight Zhuge Liang in the art of mechanism. If Zhuge Liang failed, he would take her into the city of mechanism to find the secret book left behind by the Gongshu family; if she failed, he would give up. Assist Cao Wei in his plan to attack Shu Han."
"At that time, Liu Bei had just established a foothold in Shu, and General Wei Yan had not been stationed in Hanzhong. Once Qin Siyue came to help Cao Wei, Shu Han would definitely be defeated. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to compete with her."
An Ran asked subconsciously: "Did Zhuge Liang win?"
"Zhuge Liang lost." I shook my head and said, "In that match, they competed with small mechanisms. The Mohists, who are good at defending the city, were naturally no match. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also confirmed Qin Siyue's identity."
"That competition was planned by Zhuge Liang. He would naturally find a reason to argue Qin Siyue until he was speechless. In addition, Zhuge Liang was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. Qin Siyue did not dare to act rashly and had no choice but to fight with Zhuge Liang. We agreed to fight again in ten years."
"In the past ten years, Zhuge Liang has taught a total of two successors of the mechanism technique. One is the fake successor Wei Yan, and the other is the real successor Ma Dai."
I took a deep breath and said: "Without this secret letter, who would have thought that the reason why Wei Yan has always regarded himself as Zhuge Liang's successor is not because of his arrogant character, but because he learned from Zhuge Liang I mistakenly thought that Zhuge Liang would teach him all he had learned in his life!"
"Liu Bei never rose to prominence during his lifetime. It was not until Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City and Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times that Ma Dai became famous. It turned out that Ma Dai was delayed for ten years because he followed Zhuge Liang to learn the secret skills of the machine."
I said solemnly: "Zhuge Liang also tested Wei Yan and Ma Dai's character several times and asked them to build two secret secret realms in Dingjun Mountain and Lianhua Dam. After Wei Yan built the secret realms, he killed all the soldiers. But Ma Dai took the sergeant with him to fight with him in the north and south. This is the reason why Zhuge Liang chose Ma Dai and gave up Wei Yan in the later period."
"Zhuge Liang never let Ma Dai show up before the southern expedition, but put Wei Yan in an important position, just to give Qin Siyue the illusion that Wei Yan was her true successor."
An Ran asked: "What happened next? What happened after Qin Siyue came back? Qin Siyue lost to Zhuge Liang?"
I looked at An Ran and said, "Qin Siyue still didn't lose. More than 80% of what she told in the secret realm of the agency is true."
"During the fight between Zhuge Liang and Qin Siyue, he discovered two characteristics of Qin Siyue. First, Qin Siyue did not think that she was an evil heretic. Instead, she felt that the pursuit of immortality really made people born with nine heads. A way for people to become gods.”
An Ran couldn't help but said: "If a person has nine heads, is he still a human?"
I shook my head and said, "Have you ever heard of the Three Ancient Emperors? The term "Three Emperors" is very complicated. One of them is the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Human Beings. Among the Three Emperors, the Human Emperor is also called the Jiutou clan and the Jufang clan. .”
"Sima Zhen of the Tang Dynasty recorded in "Supplementary Records of the Three Emperors": The human emperor has nine heads, rides on four clouds, and drives six feathers. He leaves the valley mouth with nine brothers, divided into nine states, each with a city of 150. Worlds, a total of forty-five thousand six hundred years."
"Later generations thought that Sima Zhen meant that the Human Emperor had nine brothers, each of whom controlled a state. However, Qin Siyue's sect insisted that the Human Emperor should have nine heads, otherwise he would not have lived for 45,000 years. Forty-five thousand years, doesn’t it just add up to ninety-five years? Five thousand years for one head!”
When Ye Xun heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Crazy!"
