Chapter 13 Chapter 11 Longbo Giant
Fuxi's subordinates also discovered giant footprints in the southwest of Taihao. In order to clarify his own life experience, Fuxi spared no effort to explore, and finally found a group of giants four or five times taller than himself on a higher mountain in the south of Kunlun Mountain. .Fuxi communicated with each other through body language, and the two sides lived in harmony.Fuxi later found out that these giants came from a country of Long Bo in the east below the sea level, where the giants lived, but was later destroyed by a great flood.The giant was very friendly with Fuxi, and finally left the three children to Fuxi to adopt in Kunlun Mountain. These giants went to find their new home again.
When Fuxi and others returned to Taihao, they told Nuwa, their sons and daughters, and the clansmen what they had encountered. The clansmen all felt novelty and excitement. Why?Because they know that besides the Taihao tribe and the Suiren tribe, there are other new human beings on the land.Nuwa said: "Actually, what Dating and others said is also true. Since you and the people of Youchao tribe have already made friends, why don't you conquer them and return them to Taihao?" Fuxi said: "It is not easy for human beings to come to this day. Each has its own direction of survival. Why should we impose it on others? Just like Suiren, he thought we were good after he came to us, but he always I have not forgotten that I am also going to create a new world that belongs to him. Therefore, my thoughts are still natural. Maybe one day the hive tribe will belong to us, but that will be a matter of the future." As Fuxi said, he took out the piece of jade and handed it to Nuwa, saying, "This thing is very precious, you should keep it!" Nuwa looked at it and put it away. Fu Xi continued: "Last time, Hun Dun, Yin Kang and others also told me about the situation in the west and north, and said that the adult's footprints were also found in the west. I have been to Kunlun Mountain before. At that time, there were no footprints on Kunlun Mountain People, looking down from the mountain, it is also very difficult to see people. But this mountain is the highest mountain I have seen. I always feel that this mountain is connected with the sky and the earth. Maybe go to the sky to see. So I have to go out west." Nuwa said: "You just came back, don't you want to rest for a few days?" Fuxi smiled and said, "Do you think I look tired?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "This time, I must go to the west. Do you know? Those are the footprints of some adults. You know, I am a child born from my mother's footsteps. Could there be my predecessors there? How can I not want to look for it!" Nuwa was very surprised and said, "Will it be dangerous if you go?" Fuxi said: "Don't worry, as far as my current ability is concerned, no one can do anything to me. Since I got that Tai Chi stone, I am not only refreshed, but also superhuman!" Nuwa nodded and said: "I believe this, you have to be more careful, not to mention..." Fuxi looked at Nuwa, knowing that Nuwa had something to say, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Nuwa said: "I'm pregnant again, so...you'd better come back sooner!" Fuxi was very pleasantly surprised, and went to Nuwa and hugged her gently. This time, Fuxi led Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang, and sent Da Ting, Hao Ying, and Li Lu to help Nu Wa take care of the affairs of the Taihao Chinese before heading west. The west side of Taihao is almost all plateaus, and the higher you go west, the higher you go, and you always feel like you are climbing a mountain when you walk.Looking back, all the places I walked were under my feet.Zhu Xiang said humorously: "This time, we followed the patriarch to the sky!" After walking for a month, they finally came to the place where Yinkang found the old man.Not to mention, what Yin Kang said was true, the series of adult footprints seemed to be left on the muddy road after the heavy rain, and when the mud dried, the footprints were still clearly visible.Fuxi looked at it and said, "This is going west. It looks like there are seven or eight people. You see, these two footprints belong to one person, and these two footprints belong to another person." Fuxi pointed to Zhu Xiang and the others while talking.Hun Chao frowned and said, "One person's two footprints are so far away, how tall are these people?" After hearing this, Fu Xi followed his usual walking pace and walked four steps from one footprint to the edge of the other footprint.Fuxi took a deep breath and said: "It seems that these grown-ups are at least four or five taller than me. It's hard to imagine, no wonder my mother once said that a grown-up can cross a small river with a step, and a grown-up can jump One high, and the mountain passes. It really looks like this.” After hearing this, Yin Kang asked tremblingly, "Then, shall we still look for it?" Fuxi firmly said: "Look for it, how can you not look for it?" Fuxi looked back and forth at these footprints left on the ground several times, and suddenly said: "Among these giants, why is there a cripple?" Yin Kang asked: "How is it possible? We haven't seen them, how could the patriarch see it!" Fuxi pointed to a pair of footprints and said, "Look, why are these pair of footprints so close to each other, while the other footprints are far apart? Therefore, I judge that one of these people may have been seriously injured." After Fuxi finished speaking, he seemed to be talking to himself: "It's true, these people can't go fast! Maybe we can find them!" Zhu Xiang said: "No matter how fast they are, they are faster than us. They are four or five steps ahead of us." Fuxi said: "You are right!" Fuxi, Yinkang, Zhu Xiang and Hundun walked in the direction of their footprints.These adults seem to have walked west for a while, and then turned back to the south. Although the footprints are not as clear as before, due to the size and weight of these people, there are still some traces left in some places.Fuxi looked north, pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said, "That snow-capped place is Kunlun Mountain. Now our position is almost level with that Kunlun Mountain. These adults are still walking up the mountain. Could it be that there is food on it? Is there a place to live?" Zhu Xiang and the others shook their heads. But further up the mountain, the air became thinner and thinner, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.Fu Xi saw that Hun Huan was getting short of breath, so he stopped and said, "I have to teach you some breathing techniques first, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go up this mountain." So Fuxi sat down, crossed his legs, stretched his hands flat on his chest, inhaled deeply, and exhaled deeply.Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang also followed Fuxi's example.After exhaling for a while, Fuxi stood up again, squatted, chest out, palms out, and slowly collected the breath.The three of them also did it, and when they stopped again, Hun Chao felt much better.He was very surprised and asked: "It turns out that breathing is the method of accumulating Qi!" Fu Xi smiled and said, "You've got the point. As long as there is Qi in a human being, there will be vitality. Qi is the most sacred thing in nature." Zhu Xiang also said: "It seems that all things have their roots, and Qi is the foundation of all things' survival!" Fuxi praised: "Zhu Xiang is absolutely right. In the past we lived at the foot of the mountain, the air layer was thick, so we could not feel the effect of the atmosphere, but on this high mountain, the air layer is thin, so naturally we need to accumulate energy to be able to breathe." Survive. These grown-ups seem to be able to adapt to the atmosphere now that they are on the higher mountain in front of them." Yin Kang said: "When I came out this time, I learned a lot from the patriarch, and I will never use it in my life!" They recuperated for a few days under Fuxi's guidance. After everyone was refreshed, they continued to climb up the mountain.Going higher is the boundary of ice and snow.Zhu Xiang looked up, a little puzzled, and asked, "How can we survive on such a mountain? Did we go wrong?" Fuxi smiled and said: "I thought about it too, but if you look at the traces on the ground, it's clear that someone has stepped on it. If they weren't on it, I can be sure that they have been here too!" Yin Kang said: "If we can't find it, wouldn't we have traveled for a while?" Fuxi glanced at him, and said seriously: "People must have a kind of spirit, that is, they are not afraid of hardships and hardships, and at the same time, they are not afraid of any powerful things. Only in this way, we human beings are invincible." Yinkang knew that Fuxi was teaching him a lesson, so he argued, "I'm not afraid, I just want to..." Fuxi interrupted him and said: "In such a place, you have to keep searching, and if you keep searching, you won't be able to use wisdom!" Just after Fuxi finished speaking, Zhu Xiang suddenly pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Look, what is that?" Fuxi, Yinkang, and Hunzhuan looked in the direction he pointed, and there were many tall stones standing in front of the place where the ground met the ice and snow. The stones were connected like a cliff standing upright. cliff.Because it is on the side of the mountain, Fuxi and others didn't care. Fuxi took a closer look and said quietly, "There are people living inside!" A few people heard it very strange.Hun Chao said, "Why didn't I see anyone?" Fuxi said: "Look carefully at the top of those boulders, is there air floating?" Hun Chao and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, there was air flowing from the inside of the stone towards the sky.They immediately tense up.Fu Xi said: "It seems that these people are better than the nest people we saw a few days ago. They are human beings who know how to use fire!" Yin Kang asked in surprise: "You can see that too?" Fu Xi smiled and said, "The air is the hot air formed by the flames burning. Generally speaking, the hot air is from the bottom up, while the cold air is from the top down!" Zhu Xiang stretched out her thumb and praised: "The patriarch is really brilliant!" A few people followed behind Fuxi, approaching the boulders from the side.But when they were halfway there, they heard strange noises coming from the boulder.Yin Kang looked at the sky and said: "The weather is fine today, why do I seem to hear thunder?" Fuxi rolled his eyes at him and said: "This is not thunder, it's adults snoring!" Yin Kang grinned and said: "The snoring is so loud, the voice can't shock people to death!" Fuxi said to them: "You guys don't move, just wait here. I'll go and have a look!" After speaking, he performed the lightness technique and floated into the boulder like a shadow.Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang were all dumbfounded. Fuxi floated into the boulder only to find that it was a room built with huge stones, and there were several people lying in disorder inside, only a giant sitting with his back facing Fuxi.Fuxi saw that he had guessed correctly, there were not five people, but eight people, and three of them looked like children the same size as Fuxi.The other five were taller than he had imagined.The giant sitting on the ground was much taller than Fuxi standing, and the rest of the giants lying there were all as tall as Fuxi.There was a giant snoring and sleeping.The snoring sound was really like rolling thunder in the sky when it got close, but it didn't affect the sleep of the other giants. Among these giants, a pile of burning bonfires was lit. On top of the bonfires, there was a large concave basin made of stones. The basin was filled with many large ice cubes smashed from the mountains. The ice has turned into water.Under the big basin, there is a half-headed bison that has been skinned.There was a giant male who was cutting the beef into small pieces with a large sharp stone. The sound of Fuxi coming in was extremely low, and there was a giant snoring beside him, so the man who was working did not notice Fuxi.Fuxi didn't know how to do it well for a while, he thought, I can't see clearly like this, so I might as well go to the stone pillar!Thinking of this, he plucked the onion from the ground and landed lightly on the top of the stone pillar. Now it is clear at a glance.The stone house built by this giant is really not small, even bigger than the Taihao Palace built by Empress Nuwa later, but it is open-air.This kind of stone house can protect against wind, but not rain.Fuxi looked around on the stone pillars, and felt that these giants were not stupid: the stone houses they built were above mountains of ice and snow, and they had water to drink.And not far below is the forest, where wild animals can be hunted, and eating and drinking are not a problem.But why didn't they build the stone house by the river?Is it because there is no such huge stone beside the river?Fuxi couldn't figure it out. While thinking, Fuxi saw that the water in the concave basin was boiled by the fire, and the sitting man stood up, good guy, he was almost as tall as the stone pillar they stood there.He put the bison into the boiling water in the concave basin.Fuxi understood that these giants were cooking meat and eating it. The huge man yelled a few times like thunder, and Fuxi had no choice but to cover his ears.The other giants got up from the ground when they heard the call.A giant was stretching and suddenly found Fuxi standing on the stone pillar.There was a lot of shouting, and the other giant saw Fuxi from the giant's eyes and fingers, and shouted at the same time.Fuxi's ears were buzzing, he jumped from the stone pillar, and quickly flew back to Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Dun. Zhu Xiang asked: "How is it, are you an adult?" Fuxi said: "It's not just adults, they are giants. There are eight of them, and three of them are about the same size as us. They are probably the children of giants. The voices of these people are too loud, and the ears can't bear it!" They have already walked out of the stone house, staring at the few small humans not far from the stone house. Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Huan looked at it, they were surprised and scared at the same time.These giants stood on the mountain like tall trees, and the towering mountains were all blocked by them. Yin Kang looked at Fuxi and said, "Patriarch, what should we do, or, let's run!" Fuxi rolled his eyes again and said, "Run? With your little skill, these giants want to catch you, can you run away? You don't have to be afraid, I'm here!" After Fuxi finished speaking, he said to the giants: "Where did you come from? Although we are smaller than you, we are also human beings!" The giants on the mountain listened, some scratched their ears, and some looked at each other.Fuxi thought: These giants can't understand what I say!I'll just give them a sign!Thinking of this, Fuxi made gestures, meaning that although we are shorter than you, we and you are both human beings, and we should be friendly to each other! With this gesture, the giant above seemed to understand Fuxi's meaning.One of the giants gestured a few times, and Fuxi saw that there was a door.Then he said to Zhu Xiang and the others: "They are asking where we came from, why are we so small!" After finishing speaking, Fuxi gestured to the giant again, saying that he came from Taihao in the east, which is very far away from here. Far, just to find them.Taihao is a human tribe, where countless people of their size live together.Fuxi asked the giant again, where did they come from?Why are they so tall?And why do you live in a stone house on this mountain?Two of the giants gestured to each other.While watching, Fu Xi said to Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun: "They said that they were also a settlement, and there were many human beings, all of whom were as tall as them. There were tall trees and animals taller than humans. , this kind of animal can not only swim in the water, but also fly in the sky. The sky is also flying tall birds. They used to live in a place much lower than ours. A flood wiped out all the people there. , and wiped out all the plants, trees, animals and birds there, only a few of them escaped, and they were afraid of water, so they lived on this high mountain." While Fuxi was explaining, tears welled up in his eyes. He thought of the Jiangshui tribe in Qishan. Didn't they also suffer from the same huge flood?Fuxi felt infinite pity in his heart. He wiped his tears with both hands, and gestured: Our tribe also suffered from the same flood, and the flood washed away many compatriots.But we survived tenaciously and formed a new type of human tribe.I also hope that they will not be discouraged and must live on.After Fuxi finished making gestures, some of the giants on the mountain started to cry. Seeing this, Fuxi immediately stretched out two hands to those giants, which was a gesture of friendly embrace.The giant actually understood, and stretched out both hands in the same way.Fu Xi said to Zhu Xiang and the others: "They are very friendly, I'll go up, you wait a moment!" Yin Kang said: "Patriarch, you'd better be careful!" Fuxi glanced at him, nodded, and within a few swings of luck, Fuxi had already come to the giant with outstretched hands.Fuxi found that he was only half as tall as a giant's leg.He smiled, jumped up, and immediately stood on the giant's big palm.The giant's palm trembled, and quickly stretched out another hand to hold Fuxi up.It seemed that he was afraid that Fuxi would fall to the ground and break it. Seeing that Fuxi was so playful, the giants all joined together.Two of them even grinned widely, the laughter was like thunder, and Fuxi quickly covered his ears.The person holding Fuxi said something, and the two closed their mouths.Fuxi understood and put his hands together to show his gratitude.Then he shouted to Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang: "Come up! They have no malicious intentions!" Then they came to the giant. The other giants also wanted to hold Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun in their hands.Although Yin Kang and the others were afraid, where did they run away?Just as Fuxi said, the hands of giants will catch up with their National People's Congress.In this case, it can only be at the mercy of giants.But these giants didn't intend to hurt them at all. After Yin Kang and the others fully understood this point, they slowly relaxed.The four of them were carried into the stone house by the giant. There are three little giants in the stone house who are the same size as Fuxi and the others, and they are the children of these giants.They didn't seem to be of average size either. There was a slightly older child who was already much taller than Fuxi.The other two were barely able to talk and walk.When these little giants saw Fuxi and the others, they wanted to play with them, a lively scene never before appeared in the stone house. When the food was cooked, Fuxi and the other four ate very little, but the giant was able to put half a bull's head into their big mouths.Regarding these, Fu Xi, Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, Hun Dun and others all laughed dumbfounded. After he was full, Fuxi still used gestures and spoken words to talk to the giant.Fuxi and the others gradually became clear about their affairs.The original tribe of these giants was called Long Boguo.The place where they lived was actually below the surface of the sea far to the east.It turned out that there was also a large piece of land, and there was a big ravine named Guixu.There are five high mountains around Guixu, namely Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai.Now even these high mountains have turned into a vast ocean, leaving only two mountains, Yingzhou and Penglai.According to the giants, they have lost their homeland, and they have no way of finding out what their tribe, their people and relatives are like.When these giants came out from the Longbo Kingdom, there were originally only five of them. They were sent out by the leader of the Longbo Kingdom in search of a fruit that would give them immortality after eating, but they never returned. went.Of the five giants, three were women and two were men.The three children in the stone house are the children of these three women.It has been more than thirty years since they came out.Fuxi did the math, and the time when the Great Flood annihilated the Longbo Kingdom was the period when the Qishan Jiang tribe was almost wiped out. It turns out that in addition to Qishan where there are humans, there are many other places inhabited by people of all kinds. All kinds of people suffered from the same catastrophe at the same time. Fuxi and the others stayed in the stone house to get along with the giant.Fuxi found that a male giant's leg was seriously injured. According to other giants, he was attacked by a group of wild animals when he went out to hunt for wild animals.Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and walked with a limp.Fuxi wanted to treat him, but his own bone needles were too small for the giants, so he had to grind some new bone sticks out of the leftover bison bones they had eaten as bone needles.When the giant knew that Fuxi could heal his leg, he was very happy.There are even more communication between Fuxi and the giant.And when the giants talked about their predecessors and the beasts and plants around them, Fuxi was also taken aback.Among them, what surprised Fuxi the most was a giant beast called a dragon.Because the dragon mentioned by the giant is very similar to the dragon that Fuxi saw in the sky by the Luoshui River.But the giants don't call it a dragon, but a dinosaur. The giants said that there was an unprecedented battle between humans and dinosaurs in order to compete for the habitat.The final result of the battle between humans and dragons was that the giant won.They said that according to their ancestors, dinosaurs relied on their hard heads, terrifying teeth, sharp front claws and powerful long tails, while giants only relied on their hands and mental strength.It was the ancestors of giants who unloaded boulders from huge cliffs with both hands and built stone walls, stone mountains and Stonehenge, and won the right to live in the land.At that time, giants and dinosaurs were the two largest animals on the earth, and these two large animals fought for the ground.Although dinosaurs are also powerful, they can only hit with their heads and sweep with their tails.But giants can uproot trees.The giants defeated the dinosaurs by using big trees and boulders as weapons.Later, there were more and more giants on land, but there were fewer and fewer dinosaurs. Only the flying dragons in the air were not destroyed by giants.At that time, dinosaurs were a delicacy for giants. The giants said that there was an era on the earth that was the era of giants.At that time, the weather was extremely cold, and the land was covered with glaciers. Both plants and animals lived on such severe glaciers.The trees and weeds on the land are extremely tall, and the giants are also towering into the sky.The tallest giant is called Pangu, the leader of the giant tribe. He stood up with his head against the sky and his feet on the ground.He exhales into clouds, his cry is like thunder, his eyes are like lightning, and he can stretch out his hand from one mountain to another. Even dinosaurs in groups are no match for him.Under the leadership of Pangu, the giant tribe of Longbo Kingdom finally defeated the dinosaurs, and Pangu also became a giant god.Although Pangu lived for a long time, he was finally submerged by floods after a huge volcanic eruption, his feet, legs, body and head were submerged.The great flood almost wiped out the giant race, but some giants also came to the high mountains and escaped the catastrophe brought by the flood by luck.Later, the giants reproduced again and rebuilt the Longbo Kingdom.However, this Long Bo country encountered a volcanic flood after it had just established prosperity, and that was what they encountered this time.The reason why they live on the mountain now is because they are afraid of the destruction brought by the flood to mankind. Fu Xi saw the giant gesture, and finally understood that human beings have a long history, and they are just one of the many lost tribes in Qishan Jiangshui.But he didn't understand why the giants were so tall, but the humans of the Qishan Jiangshui tribe were so short? He gestured this question to the giants, begging them to answer.A giantess gestured and said: They have seen many human beings of varying heights, saying that the height of human beings is related to the climate. The hotter the climate, the smaller the human beings, and the colder the human beings are, the bigger the climate is.But whether it is a giant or a small human, they all like to grow up in a warm environment.In the days of the former glaciers, there was very little water on the whole land, but everywhere was covered with a thick layer of ice.From the deepest valley to the highest mountain peak, the whole earth is one big iceberg.At that time, why did the giant tribe of Longbo Kingdom live in the lowest place on the earth?It is because the lowest zone can avoid the cold, but it cannot avoid the flood brought by the hot volcano.Humans on high mountains can also avoid the cold and floods in caves, which they only learned later.She called the humans who survived in the cave intelligent humans. Fuxi then asked the giant why there were giants and dwarf humans like them on the earth at the same time?These giants looked at each other and made gestures for a while, but they didn't make any sense. Fuxi looked at the children who were about the same size as himself, and asked the giant how old they were.The giantess gestured with her hands and feet and said that the older child was already in her teens, and the two younger children were also seven or eight years old.Fuxi didn't understand, how could he just be able to walk and talk at the age of seven or eight?Unexpectedly, the giantess gestured and said: Giants have a very long lifespan, and the giants who were taller than them before had a longer lifespan.According to their ancestors, ice ages and floods have always shortened human life spans from thousands to hundreds of years.Therefore, the giant's pregnancy is very long, so the growth rate is also slow.Fuxi didn't expect that the ancestors of the giants would look like this, but the few giants couldn't tell why. Of course the giant also asked about their situation, and Fuxi answered them one by one with gestures.Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun stood by and could only watch.Because what Fuxi and the giant said, they half understood.After the giants watched Fuxi's gestures in detail, these giants sat together and spoke a lot of words that Fuxi and others could not understand.They even shed tears while talking.Tears fell to the ground and got wet.Later, they gestured to Fuxi, wanting to see how Fuxi and other dwarf humans captured wild animals.Fuxi ordered Yinkang, Zhu Xiang, and Hundun to go to the forest at the foot of the mountain and make a big net out of bark and rope.These giants followed Fuxi and others, and saw that Fuxi and the others quickly caught wild animals of different sizes with nets.They let Fuxi and others watch how they catch the wild beast. When they saw the wild beast, as long as they stretched out their big hands, the wild beast would be hard to escape. Fuxi, Zhu Xiang, Yinkang, and Hundun lived in the huge stone house built by giants for several days. Fuxi and others were about to go back, but those giants suddenly gestured to Fuxi and asked Fuxi to take their three children. children and raise them up.Said that they rest assured of Fuxi's character, knowing that Fuxi can do what he says.He also said that the few of them wanted to go back to find other living giants. This has been a long-time volunteer, but it is just because these children are still young and there is nothing they can do.Now that they have met Fuxi, they want to fulfill this long-cherished wish as soon as possible.Fuxi was a little embarrassed. Although the children of these giants had been weaned from breastfeeding and eating meat, they walked very slowly.Except for the bigger one, of course.If they are brought back to Taihao Tribe, I don't know how long it will take.In addition, if these big giants are allowed to go to the Taihao tribe, what will it bring to the Taihao tribe?He thought about it for a long time and felt it was wrong, but he was unwilling to reject the trust of the giants.When Fuxi's eyes saw Kunlun Mountain at the foot of the mountain, he had an idea.He immediately decided to take the three children to Kunlun Mountain. When he told the giants about this decision, the giants immediately agreed.So the giants came to Kunlun Mountain with their children on their backs.When they saw Fuxi building a house with branches and weeds on Kunlun Mountain, the giants grinned happily.In order to thank Fuxi, these giants personally went to the cliffs of Kunlun to break off huge stones with their big hands, made a big stone frame for Fuxi on Kunlun Mountain, and used their big hands to get tree trunks and branches to build a giant for Fuxi and others. big stone house.After finishing these things, the five giants bid farewell to Fuxi.They walk like the wind, and they can jump over many low hills.Many small rivers and streams can be crossed in one step, and they disappear after a while. The giant is gone, but what to do with the giant's child is undoubtedly a huge problem.Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Dun looked at Fu Xi, their eyes had raised questions.But Fuxi smiled and said: "You don't need to care about these children, I can feed them myself. But I ask you one thing today, don't talk nonsense about giants when you return to Taihao, or it will make Taihao The Chinese people are terrified. You guys go back to Taihao first, and I will naturally go back after a while. If Nuwa asks, you just say, I have other things to do. After I go back, we will consider asking Head east. In fact, I also want to know what these giants are doing to the east!" Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun dared not go against Fuxi's words, so they had to leave.
When Fuxi and others returned to Taihao, they told Nuwa, their sons and daughters, and the clansmen what they had encountered. The clansmen all felt novelty and excitement. Why?Because they know that besides the Taihao tribe and the Suiren tribe, there are other new human beings on the land.Nuwa said: "Actually, what Dating and others said is also true. Since you and the people of Youchao tribe have already made friends, why don't you conquer them and return them to Taihao?" Fuxi said: "It is not easy for human beings to come to this day. Each has its own direction of survival. Why should we impose it on others? Just like Suiren, he thought we were good after he came to us, but he always I have not forgotten that I am also going to create a new world that belongs to him. Therefore, my thoughts are still natural. Maybe one day the hive tribe will belong to us, but that will be a matter of the future." As Fuxi said, he took out the piece of jade and handed it to Nuwa, saying, "This thing is very precious, you should keep it!" Nuwa looked at it and put it away. Fu Xi continued: "Last time, Hun Dun, Yin Kang and others also told me about the situation in the west and north, and said that the adult's footprints were also found in the west. I have been to Kunlun Mountain before. At that time, there were no footprints on Kunlun Mountain People, looking down from the mountain, it is also very difficult to see people. But this mountain is the highest mountain I have seen. I always feel that this mountain is connected with the sky and the earth. Maybe go to the sky to see. So I have to go out west." Nuwa said: "You just came back, don't you want to rest for a few days?" Fuxi smiled and said, "Do you think I look tired?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "This time, I must go to the west. Do you know? Those are the footprints of some adults. You know, I am a child born from my mother's footsteps. Could there be my predecessors there? How can I not want to look for it!" Nuwa was very surprised and said, "Will it be dangerous if you go?" Fuxi said: "Don't worry, as far as my current ability is concerned, no one can do anything to me. Since I got that Tai Chi stone, I am not only refreshed, but also superhuman!" Nuwa nodded and said: "I believe this, you have to be more careful, not to mention..." Fuxi looked at Nuwa, knowing that Nuwa had something to say, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Nuwa said: "I'm pregnant again, so...you'd better come back sooner!" Fuxi was very pleasantly surprised, and went to Nuwa and hugged her gently. This time, Fuxi led Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang, and sent Da Ting, Hao Ying, and Li Lu to help Nu Wa take care of the affairs of the Taihao Chinese before heading west. The west side of Taihao is almost all plateaus, and the higher you go west, the higher you go, and you always feel like you are climbing a mountain when you walk.Looking back, all the places I walked were under my feet.Zhu Xiang said humorously: "This time, we followed the patriarch to the sky!" After walking for a month, they finally came to the place where Yinkang found the old man.Not to mention, what Yin Kang said was true, the series of adult footprints seemed to be left on the muddy road after the heavy rain, and when the mud dried, the footprints were still clearly visible.Fuxi looked at it and said, "This is going west. It looks like there are seven or eight people. You see, these two footprints belong to one person, and these two footprints belong to another person." Fuxi pointed to Zhu Xiang and the others while talking.Hun Chao frowned and said, "One person's two footprints are so far away, how tall are these people?" After hearing this, Fu Xi followed his usual walking pace and walked four steps from one footprint to the edge of the other footprint.Fuxi took a deep breath and said: "It seems that these grown-ups are at least four or five taller than me. It's hard to imagine, no wonder my mother once said that a grown-up can cross a small river with a step, and a grown-up can jump One high, and the mountain passes. It really looks like this.” After hearing this, Yin Kang asked tremblingly, "Then, shall we still look for it?" Fuxi firmly said: "Look for it, how can you not look for it?" Fuxi looked back and forth at these footprints left on the ground several times, and suddenly said: "Among these giants, why is there a cripple?" Yin Kang asked: "How is it possible? We haven't seen them, how could the patriarch see it!" Fuxi pointed to a pair of footprints and said, "Look, why are these pair of footprints so close to each other, while the other footprints are far apart? Therefore, I judge that one of these people may have been seriously injured." After Fuxi finished speaking, he seemed to be talking to himself: "It's true, these people can't go fast! Maybe we can find them!" Zhu Xiang said: "No matter how fast they are, they are faster than us. They are four or five steps ahead of us." Fuxi said: "You are right!" Fuxi, Yinkang, Zhu Xiang and Hundun walked in the direction of their footprints.These adults seem to have walked west for a while, and then turned back to the south. Although the footprints are not as clear as before, due to the size and weight of these people, there are still some traces left in some places.Fuxi looked north, pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said, "That snow-capped place is Kunlun Mountain. Now our position is almost level with that Kunlun Mountain. These adults are still walking up the mountain. Could it be that there is food on it? Is there a place to live?" Zhu Xiang and the others shook their heads. But further up the mountain, the air became thinner and thinner, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.Fu Xi saw that Hun Huan was getting short of breath, so he stopped and said, "I have to teach you some breathing techniques first, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go up this mountain." So Fuxi sat down, crossed his legs, stretched his hands flat on his chest, inhaled deeply, and exhaled deeply.Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang also followed Fuxi's example.After exhaling for a while, Fuxi stood up again, squatted, chest out, palms out, and slowly collected the breath.The three of them also did it, and when they stopped again, Hun Chao felt much better.He was very surprised and asked: "It turns out that breathing is the method of accumulating Qi!" Fu Xi smiled and said, "You've got the point. As long as there is Qi in a human being, there will be vitality. Qi is the most sacred thing in nature." Zhu Xiang also said: "It seems that all things have their roots, and Qi is the foundation of all things' survival!" Fuxi praised: "Zhu Xiang is absolutely right. In the past we lived at the foot of the mountain, the air layer was thick, so we could not feel the effect of the atmosphere, but on this high mountain, the air layer is thin, so naturally we need to accumulate energy to be able to breathe." Survive. These grown-ups seem to be able to adapt to the atmosphere now that they are on the higher mountain in front of them." Yin Kang said: "When I came out this time, I learned a lot from the patriarch, and I will never use it in my life!" They recuperated for a few days under Fuxi's guidance. After everyone was refreshed, they continued to climb up the mountain.Going higher is the boundary of ice and snow.Zhu Xiang looked up, a little puzzled, and asked, "How can we survive on such a mountain? Did we go wrong?" Fuxi smiled and said: "I thought about it too, but if you look at the traces on the ground, it's clear that someone has stepped on it. If they weren't on it, I can be sure that they have been here too!" Yin Kang said: "If we can't find it, wouldn't we have traveled for a while?" Fuxi glanced at him, and said seriously: "People must have a kind of spirit, that is, they are not afraid of hardships and hardships, and at the same time, they are not afraid of any powerful things. Only in this way, we human beings are invincible." Yinkang knew that Fuxi was teaching him a lesson, so he argued, "I'm not afraid, I just want to..." Fuxi interrupted him and said: "In such a place, you have to keep searching, and if you keep searching, you won't be able to use wisdom!" Just after Fuxi finished speaking, Zhu Xiang suddenly pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Look, what is that?" Fuxi, Yinkang, and Hunzhuan looked in the direction he pointed, and there were many tall stones standing in front of the place where the ground met the ice and snow. The stones were connected like a cliff standing upright. cliff.Because it is on the side of the mountain, Fuxi and others didn't care. Fuxi took a closer look and said quietly, "There are people living inside!" A few people heard it very strange.Hun Chao said, "Why didn't I see anyone?" Fuxi said: "Look carefully at the top of those boulders, is there air floating?" Hun Chao and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, there was air flowing from the inside of the stone towards the sky.They immediately tense up.Fu Xi said: "It seems that these people are better than the nest people we saw a few days ago. They are human beings who know how to use fire!" Yin Kang asked in surprise: "You can see that too?" Fu Xi smiled and said, "The air is the hot air formed by the flames burning. Generally speaking, the hot air is from the bottom up, while the cold air is from the top down!" Zhu Xiang stretched out her thumb and praised: "The patriarch is really brilliant!" A few people followed behind Fuxi, approaching the boulders from the side.But when they were halfway there, they heard strange noises coming from the boulder.Yin Kang looked at the sky and said: "The weather is fine today, why do I seem to hear thunder?" Fuxi rolled his eyes at him and said: "This is not thunder, it's adults snoring!" Yin Kang grinned and said: "The snoring is so loud, the voice can't shock people to death!" Fuxi said to them: "You guys don't move, just wait here. I'll go and have a look!" After speaking, he performed the lightness technique and floated into the boulder like a shadow.Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang were all dumbfounded. Fuxi floated into the boulder only to find that it was a room built with huge stones, and there were several people lying in disorder inside, only a giant sitting with his back facing Fuxi.Fuxi saw that he had guessed correctly, there were not five people, but eight people, and three of them looked like children the same size as Fuxi.The other five were taller than he had imagined.The giant sitting on the ground was much taller than Fuxi standing, and the rest of the giants lying there were all as tall as Fuxi.There was a giant snoring and sleeping.The snoring sound was really like rolling thunder in the sky when it got close, but it didn't affect the sleep of the other giants. Among these giants, a pile of burning bonfires was lit. On top of the bonfires, there was a large concave basin made of stones. The basin was filled with many large ice cubes smashed from the mountains. The ice has turned into water.Under the big basin, there is a half-headed bison that has been skinned.There was a giant male who was cutting the beef into small pieces with a large sharp stone. The sound of Fuxi coming in was extremely low, and there was a giant snoring beside him, so the man who was working did not notice Fuxi.Fuxi didn't know how to do it well for a while, he thought, I can't see clearly like this, so I might as well go to the stone pillar!Thinking of this, he plucked the onion from the ground and landed lightly on the top of the stone pillar. Now it is clear at a glance.The stone house built by this giant is really not small, even bigger than the Taihao Palace built by Empress Nuwa later, but it is open-air.This kind of stone house can protect against wind, but not rain.Fuxi looked around on the stone pillars, and felt that these giants were not stupid: the stone houses they built were above mountains of ice and snow, and they had water to drink.And not far below is the forest, where wild animals can be hunted, and eating and drinking are not a problem.But why didn't they build the stone house by the river?Is it because there is no such huge stone beside the river?Fuxi couldn't figure it out. While thinking, Fuxi saw that the water in the concave basin was boiled by the fire, and the sitting man stood up, good guy, he was almost as tall as the stone pillar they stood there.He put the bison into the boiling water in the concave basin.Fuxi understood that these giants were cooking meat and eating it. The huge man yelled a few times like thunder, and Fuxi had no choice but to cover his ears.The other giants got up from the ground when they heard the call.A giant was stretching and suddenly found Fuxi standing on the stone pillar.There was a lot of shouting, and the other giant saw Fuxi from the giant's eyes and fingers, and shouted at the same time.Fuxi's ears were buzzing, he jumped from the stone pillar, and quickly flew back to Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Dun. Zhu Xiang asked: "How is it, are you an adult?" Fuxi said: "It's not just adults, they are giants. There are eight of them, and three of them are about the same size as us. They are probably the children of giants. The voices of these people are too loud, and the ears can't bear it!" They have already walked out of the stone house, staring at the few small humans not far from the stone house. Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Huan looked at it, they were surprised and scared at the same time.These giants stood on the mountain like tall trees, and the towering mountains were all blocked by them. Yin Kang looked at Fuxi and said, "Patriarch, what should we do, or, let's run!" Fuxi rolled his eyes again and said, "Run? With your little skill, these giants want to catch you, can you run away? You don't have to be afraid, I'm here!" After Fuxi finished speaking, he said to the giants: "Where did you come from? Although we are smaller than you, we are also human beings!" The giants on the mountain listened, some scratched their ears, and some looked at each other.Fuxi thought: These giants can't understand what I say!I'll just give them a sign!Thinking of this, Fuxi made gestures, meaning that although we are shorter than you, we and you are both human beings, and we should be friendly to each other! With this gesture, the giant above seemed to understand Fuxi's meaning.One of the giants gestured a few times, and Fuxi saw that there was a door.Then he said to Zhu Xiang and the others: "They are asking where we came from, why are we so small!" After finishing speaking, Fuxi gestured to the giant again, saying that he came from Taihao in the east, which is very far away from here. Far, just to find them.Taihao is a human tribe, where countless people of their size live together.Fuxi asked the giant again, where did they come from?Why are they so tall?And why do you live in a stone house on this mountain?Two of the giants gestured to each other.While watching, Fu Xi said to Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun: "They said that they were also a settlement, and there were many human beings, all of whom were as tall as them. There were tall trees and animals taller than humans. , this kind of animal can not only swim in the water, but also fly in the sky. The sky is also flying tall birds. They used to live in a place much lower than ours. A flood wiped out all the people there. , and wiped out all the plants, trees, animals and birds there, only a few of them escaped, and they were afraid of water, so they lived on this high mountain." While Fuxi was explaining, tears welled up in his eyes. He thought of the Jiangshui tribe in Qishan. Didn't they also suffer from the same huge flood?Fuxi felt infinite pity in his heart. He wiped his tears with both hands, and gestured: Our tribe also suffered from the same flood, and the flood washed away many compatriots.But we survived tenaciously and formed a new type of human tribe.I also hope that they will not be discouraged and must live on.After Fuxi finished making gestures, some of the giants on the mountain started to cry. Seeing this, Fuxi immediately stretched out two hands to those giants, which was a gesture of friendly embrace.The giant actually understood, and stretched out both hands in the same way.Fu Xi said to Zhu Xiang and the others: "They are very friendly, I'll go up, you wait a moment!" Yin Kang said: "Patriarch, you'd better be careful!" Fuxi glanced at him, nodded, and within a few swings of luck, Fuxi had already come to the giant with outstretched hands.Fuxi found that he was only half as tall as a giant's leg.He smiled, jumped up, and immediately stood on the giant's big palm.The giant's palm trembled, and quickly stretched out another hand to hold Fuxi up.It seemed that he was afraid that Fuxi would fall to the ground and break it. Seeing that Fuxi was so playful, the giants all joined together.Two of them even grinned widely, the laughter was like thunder, and Fuxi quickly covered his ears.The person holding Fuxi said something, and the two closed their mouths.Fuxi understood and put his hands together to show his gratitude.Then he shouted to Zhu Xiang, Hun Dun, and Yin Kang: "Come up! They have no malicious intentions!" Then they came to the giant. The other giants also wanted to hold Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun in their hands.Although Yin Kang and the others were afraid, where did they run away?Just as Fuxi said, the hands of giants will catch up with their National People's Congress.In this case, it can only be at the mercy of giants.But these giants didn't intend to hurt them at all. After Yin Kang and the others fully understood this point, they slowly relaxed.The four of them were carried into the stone house by the giant. There are three little giants in the stone house who are the same size as Fuxi and the others, and they are the children of these giants.They didn't seem to be of average size either. There was a slightly older child who was already much taller than Fuxi.The other two were barely able to talk and walk.When these little giants saw Fuxi and the others, they wanted to play with them, a lively scene never before appeared in the stone house. When the food was cooked, Fuxi and the other four ate very little, but the giant was able to put half a bull's head into their big mouths.Regarding these, Fu Xi, Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, Hun Dun and others all laughed dumbfounded. After he was full, Fuxi still used gestures and spoken words to talk to the giant.Fuxi and the others gradually became clear about their affairs.The original tribe of these giants was called Long Boguo.The place where they lived was actually below the surface of the sea far to the east.It turned out that there was also a large piece of land, and there was a big ravine named Guixu.There are five high mountains around Guixu, namely Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai.Now even these high mountains have turned into a vast ocean, leaving only two mountains, Yingzhou and Penglai.According to the giants, they have lost their homeland, and they have no way of finding out what their tribe, their people and relatives are like.When these giants came out from the Longbo Kingdom, there were originally only five of them. They were sent out by the leader of the Longbo Kingdom in search of a fruit that would give them immortality after eating, but they never returned. went.Of the five giants, three were women and two were men.The three children in the stone house are the children of these three women.It has been more than thirty years since they came out.Fuxi did the math, and the time when the Great Flood annihilated the Longbo Kingdom was the period when the Qishan Jiang tribe was almost wiped out. It turns out that in addition to Qishan where there are humans, there are many other places inhabited by people of all kinds. All kinds of people suffered from the same catastrophe at the same time. Fuxi and the others stayed in the stone house to get along with the giant.Fuxi found that a male giant's leg was seriously injured. According to other giants, he was attacked by a group of wild animals when he went out to hunt for wild animals.Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and walked with a limp.Fuxi wanted to treat him, but his own bone needles were too small for the giants, so he had to grind some new bone sticks out of the leftover bison bones they had eaten as bone needles.When the giant knew that Fuxi could heal his leg, he was very happy.There are even more communication between Fuxi and the giant.And when the giants talked about their predecessors and the beasts and plants around them, Fuxi was also taken aback.Among them, what surprised Fuxi the most was a giant beast called a dragon.Because the dragon mentioned by the giant is very similar to the dragon that Fuxi saw in the sky by the Luoshui River.But the giants don't call it a dragon, but a dinosaur. The giants said that there was an unprecedented battle between humans and dinosaurs in order to compete for the habitat.The final result of the battle between humans and dragons was that the giant won.They said that according to their ancestors, dinosaurs relied on their hard heads, terrifying teeth, sharp front claws and powerful long tails, while giants only relied on their hands and mental strength.It was the ancestors of giants who unloaded boulders from huge cliffs with both hands and built stone walls, stone mountains and Stonehenge, and won the right to live in the land.At that time, giants and dinosaurs were the two largest animals on the earth, and these two large animals fought for the ground.Although dinosaurs are also powerful, they can only hit with their heads and sweep with their tails.But giants can uproot trees.The giants defeated the dinosaurs by using big trees and boulders as weapons.Later, there were more and more giants on land, but there were fewer and fewer dinosaurs. Only the flying dragons in the air were not destroyed by giants.At that time, dinosaurs were a delicacy for giants. The giants said that there was an era on the earth that was the era of giants.At that time, the weather was extremely cold, and the land was covered with glaciers. Both plants and animals lived on such severe glaciers.The trees and weeds on the land are extremely tall, and the giants are also towering into the sky.The tallest giant is called Pangu, the leader of the giant tribe. He stood up with his head against the sky and his feet on the ground.He exhales into clouds, his cry is like thunder, his eyes are like lightning, and he can stretch out his hand from one mountain to another. Even dinosaurs in groups are no match for him.Under the leadership of Pangu, the giant tribe of Longbo Kingdom finally defeated the dinosaurs, and Pangu also became a giant god.Although Pangu lived for a long time, he was finally submerged by floods after a huge volcanic eruption, his feet, legs, body and head were submerged.The great flood almost wiped out the giant race, but some giants also came to the high mountains and escaped the catastrophe brought by the flood by luck.Later, the giants reproduced again and rebuilt the Longbo Kingdom.However, this Long Bo country encountered a volcanic flood after it had just established prosperity, and that was what they encountered this time.The reason why they live on the mountain now is because they are afraid of the destruction brought by the flood to mankind. Fu Xi saw the giant gesture, and finally understood that human beings have a long history, and they are just one of the many lost tribes in Qishan Jiangshui.But he didn't understand why the giants were so tall, but the humans of the Qishan Jiangshui tribe were so short? He gestured this question to the giants, begging them to answer.A giantess gestured and said: They have seen many human beings of varying heights, saying that the height of human beings is related to the climate. The hotter the climate, the smaller the human beings, and the colder the human beings are, the bigger the climate is.But whether it is a giant or a small human, they all like to grow up in a warm environment.In the days of the former glaciers, there was very little water on the whole land, but everywhere was covered with a thick layer of ice.From the deepest valley to the highest mountain peak, the whole earth is one big iceberg.At that time, why did the giant tribe of Longbo Kingdom live in the lowest place on the earth?It is because the lowest zone can avoid the cold, but it cannot avoid the flood brought by the hot volcano.Humans on high mountains can also avoid the cold and floods in caves, which they only learned later.She called the humans who survived in the cave intelligent humans. Fuxi then asked the giant why there were giants and dwarf humans like them on the earth at the same time?These giants looked at each other and made gestures for a while, but they didn't make any sense. Fuxi looked at the children who were about the same size as himself, and asked the giant how old they were.The giantess gestured with her hands and feet and said that the older child was already in her teens, and the two younger children were also seven or eight years old.Fuxi didn't understand, how could he just be able to walk and talk at the age of seven or eight?Unexpectedly, the giantess gestured and said: Giants have a very long lifespan, and the giants who were taller than them before had a longer lifespan.According to their ancestors, ice ages and floods have always shortened human life spans from thousands to hundreds of years.Therefore, the giant's pregnancy is very long, so the growth rate is also slow.Fuxi didn't expect that the ancestors of the giants would look like this, but the few giants couldn't tell why. Of course the giant also asked about their situation, and Fuxi answered them one by one with gestures.Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun stood by and could only watch.Because what Fuxi and the giant said, they half understood.After the giants watched Fuxi's gestures in detail, these giants sat together and spoke a lot of words that Fuxi and others could not understand.They even shed tears while talking.Tears fell to the ground and got wet.Later, they gestured to Fuxi, wanting to see how Fuxi and other dwarf humans captured wild animals.Fuxi ordered Yinkang, Zhu Xiang, and Hundun to go to the forest at the foot of the mountain and make a big net out of bark and rope.These giants followed Fuxi and others, and saw that Fuxi and the others quickly caught wild animals of different sizes with nets.They let Fuxi and others watch how they catch the wild beast. When they saw the wild beast, as long as they stretched out their big hands, the wild beast would be hard to escape. Fuxi, Zhu Xiang, Yinkang, and Hundun lived in the huge stone house built by giants for several days. Fuxi and others were about to go back, but those giants suddenly gestured to Fuxi and asked Fuxi to take their three children. children and raise them up.Said that they rest assured of Fuxi's character, knowing that Fuxi can do what he says.He also said that the few of them wanted to go back to find other living giants. This has been a long-time volunteer, but it is just because these children are still young and there is nothing they can do.Now that they have met Fuxi, they want to fulfill this long-cherished wish as soon as possible.Fuxi was a little embarrassed. Although the children of these giants had been weaned from breastfeeding and eating meat, they walked very slowly.Except for the bigger one, of course.If they are brought back to Taihao Tribe, I don't know how long it will take.In addition, if these big giants are allowed to go to the Taihao tribe, what will it bring to the Taihao tribe?He thought about it for a long time and felt it was wrong, but he was unwilling to reject the trust of the giants.When Fuxi's eyes saw Kunlun Mountain at the foot of the mountain, he had an idea.He immediately decided to take the three children to Kunlun Mountain. When he told the giants about this decision, the giants immediately agreed.So the giants came to Kunlun Mountain with their children on their backs.When they saw Fuxi building a house with branches and weeds on Kunlun Mountain, the giants grinned happily.In order to thank Fuxi, these giants personally went to the cliffs of Kunlun to break off huge stones with their big hands, made a big stone frame for Fuxi on Kunlun Mountain, and used their big hands to get tree trunks and branches to build a giant for Fuxi and others. big stone house.After finishing these things, the five giants bid farewell to Fuxi.They walk like the wind, and they can jump over many low hills.Many small rivers and streams can be crossed in one step, and they disappear after a while. The giant is gone, but what to do with the giant's child is undoubtedly a huge problem.Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang and Hun Dun looked at Fu Xi, their eyes had raised questions.But Fuxi smiled and said: "You don't need to care about these children, I can feed them myself. But I ask you one thing today, don't talk nonsense about giants when you return to Taihao, or it will make Taihao The Chinese people are terrified. You guys go back to Taihao first, and I will naturally go back after a while. If Nuwa asks, you just say, I have other things to do. After I go back, we will consider asking Head east. In fact, I also want to know what these giants are doing to the east!" Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun dared not go against Fuxi's words, so they had to leave.
