Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Fourth The Second Emperor Yan

In order to reduce the war, Shen Nong and Ji Bo personally went to the Fire Clan to persuade Kuafu to surrender to the Yellow Emperor.Kuafu originally refused, but Shennong made his ambition clear, and Kuafu listened to Shennong's advice.The Yellow Emperor then came and sent Dahong as Kuafu's deputy to take charge of the Fire Tribe.But when Shennong, Ji Bo, and Huangdi returned to Taihao, the generals sent by Huangdi to subdue Qiongsang were all defeated by a man who called himself Emperor Yan.But Yandi Shennong has always been by Huangdi's side?Huangdi thought that Fuxi was pretending to be Emperor Yan, but when he asked Nuwa, he found that the emperor's family had disappeared.Huang Di was extremely puzzled.

Shennong Emperor Jiang Yan, accompanied by Ji Boxiang, went to the Fire Tribe first.It was winter now, and the cold wind from the northwest was stronger than that of Qiongsang.The strong wind "whirled" and the sky was full of dust.Xihuo Hou Kuafu led people back to the time when they competed with wild beasts for food due to lack of grain and food.Countless people died of starvation.Seeing Shennong Jiang Yan coming, Kuafu burst into tears.He hugged Shennong for a long time before speaking.Kuafu said: "Emperor Yan, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I am looking forward to you!"

After introducing Ji Bo to Kuafu, Shen Nong said: "From now on, you don't have to call me Emperor Yan, you should call me Shen Nong, I am willing to listen to this name!" Kuafu asked, "What? Emperor Yan is our honorific name for you!" Shen Nong said: "The word Di is too big, I don't want to call it anymore! Where is Xing Tian?" Kuafu asked in surprise, "When did Xing Tian come here?" Shen Nong was silent for a while, looked at Ji Bofang and said, "It seems that you don't know anything about what happened to Taihao! Xing Tian didn't come to you, he must have gone to Nanhuo Hou Chiyou."

Kuafu asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Taihao, tell me quickly?" Only then did Shennong tell Kuafu about the change of the Yellow Emperor.Kuafu listened and became angry, he slapped the stone table and said: "This Xiaoxuan is a brother of the same father as yours, but how dare he make troubles regardless of brotherhood, it's not a thing! " Shennong smiled and said, "Quiet the fire, this incident was not originally intended by Xiaoxuan, but because of my aunt Fubao!" He also told about Fubao's dissatisfaction with his grandfather Fuxi, and Shennong did not panic. Busy, speak slowly, so straight that Kuafu's eyes widened and he said: "I also know some things, but I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns. Emperor Yan, do you just admit it?"

Shennong said: "This time I came here, not only did I admit it myself, but I also persuaded you to follow me to admit it too! Listen to me, I have been sitting on the throne of Emperor Yan for a long time, and I always feel that the burden is too heavy. I can't breathe. My greatest interest is farming, making farm tools, collecting herbs, and healing people. But as Emperor Yan, I spend my days dealing with tribal affairs, hunting, construction, fishing, famine, epidemics, etc. I was at a loss when the Drunken Porridge invaded the Xiong tribe, but Xiaoxuan made an astonishing move to put an end to the Xiong tribe and killed many people. At that time, I saw that he was not chaotic , is far better than me, but I can't bear to see the living beings suffer, and I am afraid that Xiaoxuan's murderous intentions will be too strong, so I don't want to let him. Now there is Xiaoxuan Taihao's change, I am nearly fifty years old, and I can no longer suppress it. Why not let him be the Yellow Emperor and persuade all the tribes to surrender without fighting, so as to avoid wars and casualties, and I do what I want, what's wrong?"

Kuafu sat next to Shennong and remained silent for a long time.Shennong said again: "Human beings were born from the heavens. Human beings are limited by their own conditions in order to survive. Humans are not as brave as tigers and leopards, as tall as elephants, as tall as camels, as wings as dragons, phoenixes, birds and butterflies, or as sharp as teeth. What do you rely on? It depends on the number of people. But war will inevitably cause a large number of casualties. If there are too many wars, human beings will destroy themselves. Since many problems can be solved without war, why do we need war?"

After hearing this, Kuafu cupped his hands and said, "I originally thought that if Emperor Yan wanted to fight, I and the Huo Clan would definitely stand on the side of Emperor Yan. I wouldn't think too much about life or death. Now Emperor Yan thinks about the interests of human beings, so I will go with you." , If you say surrender, you will surrender, if you say war, you will fight. However, I don't have much impression of Xiaoxuan, the Yellow Emperor. If he is in charge of the world, what will happen to the world? I don't know." Shen Nong said: "Don't think too much about this matter, I have thought of this too long ago. But I heard Ji Bo said that Ji Bo went to Kunlun Mountain to look for Emperor Fuxi because of the change of Taihao. Change is God's will, after Xiaoxuan becomes the Yellow Emperor, he will also contribute to the human beings on the earth!"

Kuafu asked Ji Bo, "Did the Emperor really say that?" Ji Bo said: "It is true!" Kuafu said: "Since the Great God and the Emperor said so, I will listen to what you say, Emperor Yan." Shen Nong let out a long breath and said, "So, I didn't come to the Fire Clan against the wind and snow in vain." When the Yellow Emperor led the troops to the Huo tribe, Shennong Jiangyan and Xihuo Hou Kuafu led the Huo tribe to greet him at Kuafu's residence.The people of the Huo tribe have heard Shennong and Kuafu talk about the Yellow Emperor, such as the fact that the Yellow Emperor was conceived by his mother through thunder and lightning, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and the Di people, and the invention of the oracle bone writing method by Xiaoxuan, all of them feel miraculous and want to see it What kind of person is the Yellow Emperor.In addition, they heard that the Yellow Emperor came to deliver rice, and the people of the Huo Clan were very happy, regardless of the severe cold and freezing weather, the streets and alleys were really crowded and very lively.This actually startled the Yellow Emperor and all the soldiers.Da Hong and Rong Cheng were in the front line. Seeing everyone crowded in front of them, they dared not go forward and sent someone to tell the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor asked the visitor, "How many people are blocking the way?" The man said: "I don't know, there are tens of thousands of people!" Huang Di frowned and said, "Why are there so many soldiers? Could it be that Jiuli Chiyou also sent troops here to wait for me?" Chang Xian and Father Yong were around the Yellow Emperor. Chang Xian asked, "Did you see those people holding torches and sticks?" Huang Di asked again: "Didn't you see Shen Nong?" The man shook his head. At this time, someone reported: "Rongcheng sent someone to report that Shennong, Xihuohou Kuafu and Ji Bo are waiting in the Huozu tribe to welcome the Yellow Emperor?"

Huangdi said happily: "So the master is here too. It seems that Shen Nong really talked about Kuafu!" So he ordered Chang Xian to say: "Tell the soldiers behind to rush up the grain, or we will really think that we are here to conquer." Going to do business first, Huang Di straightened his clothes and rushed to the front team. Xihuohou Kuafu saw the Yellow Emperor and saw that he was young, tall and handsome, so he nodded and said, "The last time I saw you in Qiongsang, you were still very young and did not have such prestige. Come on, Yandi Shennong has a good eye." Kuafu said, deliberately emphasizing the word Yandi to see Xiaoxuan's attitude.

The Yellow Emperor understood what he meant, and cupped his hands to Shen Nong and Ji Bo: "It turns out that Brother Yandi and Master have already come, I thought you didn't come!" Uncle Ji rolled his eyes at Huang Di and said, "So you sent troops here with the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman?" Huang Di hurriedly said: "No, no, where did Master think of going? This time we sent a lot of rice, and in order to prevent being intercepted by the Di people on the way, we sent soldiers!" Then he turned to Rong Cheng, Da Hong, and Chang Xian , Father Yong said: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and distribute the food and rice to the fire people!" Kuafu said: "Then invite the Yellow Emperor to sit in the Fire Clan Hall!" The Yellow Emperor took Kuafu's hand and went into the palace with Shen Nong and Ji Bo. Entering the Huozu Hall, Shennong said to the Yellow Emperor: "Xihuohou Kuafu has decided to follow the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor can feel at ease. If you want to talk about this Huozu tribe, you can't forget its founder, Suiren. He and the emperor Fuxi were originally Father and son lived together in the cave of Mount Qi. Later, the emperor created the Taihao tribe, and the Sui people still lived in the cave. I heard from my grandmother, the emperor, that there was a year of continuous rain, and there was an earthquake, and the mountains and the earth shook. As a result, the houses collapsed, and the fires stored in Taihao and the caves were all destroyed by water soaking and soil. The Suiren came here to find fire. They saw a big bird pecking wood and emitting sparks. They were inspired and invented the drill. Wood was used to make fire, and then the fire was sent to Taihao. The emperor and he struck stones together, and another stone was struck to make fire. At that time, I was still young, and the Suiren didn’t want to stay in Taihao’s patriarch, so he led some people here. Here, the Fire Tribe was created. Not far from the main hall, there is a large-scale Mars Terrace, where the Suiren used to drill wood to make fire." Huang Di said: "It turns out that the Fire Clan has so many legends, we should pay a visit to his old man tomorrow." Shennong said: "That's exactly what I mean. The tomb of Suiren is on a hill not far from here." Huang Di was shocked and said: "So the old man has passed away?" Shen Nong nodded. The Yellow Emperor asked again, "Does Suiren have any other descendants?" Kuafu said: "Yes, that is the wife of Emperor Yan Shennong, as I heard." The Yellow Emperor sighed: "When I was in Qiongsang, Goddess Shennong often cooked all kinds of meals for me. Unexpectedly, she is the queen of the old chief of the Fire Clan." The Yellow Emperor led Rong Cheng, Dahong, Chang Xian, and Yongfu to follow Shennong, Ji Bo, and Kuafu to pay homage to the Suiren Tomb, and also looked at the Martian Terrace.The Yellow Emperor said: "The Suiren called this platform Mars Terrace to commemorate him making fire by drilling wood. Now that Suiren has passed away, we should always commemorate Suiren. Brother Yandi, I want to change the Mars Terrace to Vulcan Terrace. What do you think." Shennong said, "It's the best." Back at the Fire Clan Hall, the Yellow Emperor said: "Kuafu, I want Dahong to rule the Fire Clan with you, what do you think?" Kuafu looked at Shennong and said: "Since the Yellow Emperor thinks, I Kuafu will obey." Huangdi said: "That's it." Then he said to Shennong: "Brother Yandi, when I was in Qiongsang, although I was the Marquis of Qiongsang, you were Emperor Yan. In addition, I am still young, in fact, Qiongsang You have always had the final say. Now that you have helped me become the Yellow Emperor, you have troubled my elder brother to go to Qiongsang and persuade the people there to submit to me, so that the flames of war will be avoided." Uncle Ji slapped the table and said loudly: "Xiaoxuan, I think you are making progress. Shennong gave the world to you, but did not promise to be a lobbyist for you everywhere. Don't think that others respect you as the Yellow Emperor, so you think you are great. what are you?" Dahong and Chang Xian saw that Ji Bo and Huang Di were in a hurry. Although they knew that Huang Di respected Ji Bo, they didn't know Ji Bo's methods. They took up stone weapons together and looked at Ji Bo angrily.Huang Di glared at them and said, "Let it go, don't you know that he is my master? From now on, you will respect him more than me." Shennong Jiang Yan held Ji Bo back and said, "What the Yellow Emperor said is right, I am willing to do it!" Ji Bo was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Nong again and said, "You! You are full of knowledge, but you don't know what is The King’s Learning! Father is right, God! God! He knows it in Kunlun Mountains, but I don’t know it when I’m in front of you. What have I learned from him all these years?” After finishing speaking, he sighed. Another day later, the Yellow Emperor left Dahong as Kuafu's deputy, and led his troops to Taihao with Emperor Yan Shennong, Master Ji Bo, Rong Cheng, Chang Xian, and Yongfu.It also coincided with the heavy snow and the cold wind piercing the bones.Those who wore animal skins were better off, but those who wore sackcloth couldn't stand it any longer.Seeing this, Shennong persuaded the Yellow Emperor to stop and light a fire to keep warm.Shennong asked the soldiers to order a handful of pine mushrooms in their hands.Those soldiers all thanked Shennong for his benevolence. Even the Yellow Emperor said with emotion that if there was no Shennong when returning to Taihao this time, how many soldiers would freeze to death on the road. The soldiers walked very slowly, and it took a month to see the shadow of Taihao Chendi.At this time, the coldest time has passed, and the cool breeze of early spring begins to sweep across the earth.Shen Nong and Ji Bo went back to the Tongtian Temple to see the Nuwa Empress, and the Yellow Emperor led the troops to the camp where they lived in the past.Before he rested, Feng later reported: "Li Mu, Huo Di, Gonggu, Lishou and others who went to Qiongsang returned in great defeat. Except for Li Mu, Huodi, Gonggu, and Lishou were all seriously injured! " Huang Di was shocked when he heard this, "What did you say? Say it again!" After repeating it again, Feng Hou added: "Li Mu said that it was a man named Emperor Yan who injured them. Didn't Shen Nong go to the Fire Clan?" The Yellow Emperor was even more astonished, and murmured to himself: "How could this happen? How is it possible? Shennong is always with us! Besides, how can Shennong know martial arts!" Fenghou listened carefully and became puzzled: "That's right! How could there be two Yandi?" Huang Di said: "Go and call Li Mu and others quickly, I want to ask about the situation in detail." Feng Hou said: "Call Li Muxing, the Huo Di, Gonggu, and Lishou are seriously injured. They can't move. , It was the soldiers who took a lot of effort to recite it." After Li Mu came, he said: "Huo Di, Gong Gu and I led 2000 soldiers to walk out of Taihao not far away, and met Li Shou head-on, Li Shou said that since Shen Nong left from Qiong Sang, Qiong Sang hadn't moved at all. Except that Gonggong led two thousand new soldiers to guard him, it was the same as before. He thought that now that the Yellow Emperor was employing people, it would be useless for him to stay in Qiongsang, so he brought back the hundred or so soldiers. We listened , I just thought, it is a good opportunity to go to fight Qiongsang at this time and catch him by surprise. We have a lot of warriors, so we can say that we are sure of victory. Human language. It is said that they are human beings, but they are very different from human beings. They are much taller than ordinary people, with no hair on their heads, but they are black and shiny, and there are two sharp horns on their heads. Walking' Swish, swoosh, eyes and mouth sunken, complexion as creepy as scalp, sometimes eating stones, walking seems to be in formation. There are not many people, only a hundred or so, and one of them seems to be a head , Talking in a strange way. I asked: "What are you, why are you blocking our way?" The leader said: "You are asking me? Then what are you? Why are you here?" Li Shou said beside him: "I I have been in Qiongsang for many days, why didn’t I know there are these things?” The man seemed to have heard the words of Lishou, and laughed loudly: “You little thing deserves to know me? You are lucky to see my face today. , let me tell you, I am Jiang Yanye, the majestic Shennong Emperor." After speaking, he laughed again. We all saw Shennong when we were in Banquan, so what does it look like. Huo Di said: "Shennong is so weird like you So, I think you look like an old bull monster.” The bull monster laughed again: “Who is Shennong if it’s not me! Look at me, a bull head, a human body, a farmer! Hahaha…” We just discovered his The head is indeed like a bull's head. They all drummed together: "What are we talking about with him? Let's beat him to death." After hearing a few sounds of 'Dangdang', the wooden stick used by Gonggu broke. The weird man said again: "Is it still smashing? I hope more people will smash it." As if nothing had happened, we were all stunned. "Send hundreds of small soldiers to hit him in turn. If you don't believe it, you can hit him without moving." So two hundred small soldiers were sent up with wooden sticks, and they hit him with a bang. At the same time, he clamped the sticks of dozens of small soldiers under the two armpits, lifted them up with all his strength, turned around and flung them, and they collided with each other, and a large number of them fell down in an instant. This strange man was so powerful that he grabbed a Little soldier, bump two little soldiers together, both of them will be killed, and then they will fall far away with a flick, in an instant, more than two hundred people will be cut in half. , I don't think so, so I said to Huodi, Gonggu, and Lishou: "The four of us go up together, and we are not afraid to beat him." So we rushed up together and beat him from left, right, front, and back. Who knows That strange man showed no fear, and became more and more courageous as he fought. Before I hit my second stick, Huo Di and Gonggu had been thrown away by him like a soldier. Just after the third move, Lishou had been grabbed by his arm , Lishou screamed in pain, I saw that we were not opponents at all, life-saving is the most important thing. If notHuo Di, Gonggu, and Lishou had some tricks, and they would all be killed like soldiers. Now, Huo Di and Gonggu each broke a leg, and Lishou broke an arm. The pain is unbearable every day.The weirdo saw that all of us had withdrawn, but he didn't chase after him. He yelled, "Enjoy it, enjoy it", and said, "Shall I let you try the Jinniu formation?" When Qiongsang didn't even go in, he returned in a big defeat.I have also fought countless times and fought various beasts, but I have never seen such a powerful character, it is too scary. "After Li Mu finished speaking, he was still trembling, as if he still had lingering fears. The Yellow Emperor didn't blame him, and let him go to rest. The Yellow Emperor looked at Fenghou and said: "What is so powerful? Gonggong, the captain of Shennong's Guard? I have seen this man, and he is not as brave as Li Mu said! Could it be that Zhu Rong has gone back, but he doesn't have to pretend If this is the case, besides, does Zhu Rong have such a great ability? Chi You, will he leave Jiuli and go to Qiongsang?" In an instant, many questions appeared in Huangdi's mind.Feng Hou said: "I also thought about it. This thing claims to be Yandi Shennong, so it must have a great relationship with Shennong. Why didn't the Yellow Emperor ask Shennong to come here and ask?" Huang Di said: "It seems that this is the only way. Let's go to see Shen Nong and my master Ji Bo in a while, and also visit my grandma Nuwa Empress." After the Yellow Emperor brought the wind, Li Mu met Nuwa Empress, Shen Nong, and Ji Bo, and asked Li Mu to tell the story of their encounters in Qiongsang.Shen Nong, Ji Bo, and even Empress Nuwa were all terrified.Shennong said: "I have been in Qiongsang for so many years, and I have never heard of such monsters. They look like humans but not humans, like beasts and not beasts! They can fight and fight!" Ji Bo said to Huang Di: "Xiaoxuan, don't you claim to be able to fight, why are you afraid?" Huang Di said: "I'm not afraid, I just want to find out the origin of this thing." Then he looked at Empress Nuwa and said: "I always feel that in the world, there is only one person who can do such great things, the emperor alone." Empress Nuwa sternly said: "Don't talk nonsense, can your grandfather have the same knowledge as you?" Huang Di said: "If it's not the emperor, who could it be? Emperor Yan, think about it, who would use your name to make this joke?" Shen Nong said: "I don't think it's anyone, it's just a monster. The names can overlap, or Li Mu and others misheard." Li Mu said: "It's not wrong, the four of us, besides that, there are two thousand soldiers who have heard it." Huang Di said: "This is a strange thing." Shennong said: "Don't worry about this person, let's try to help the injured!" After several days of busy work, Shennong finally connected the broken bones of Huodi, Gonggu, Lishou and others and applied herbal medicine to stop the pain.Chang Xian, Rong Cheng, and Father Yong also knew about this matter, and the whole Taihao couldn't help talking about it. After the wind, according to the order of the Yellow Emperor, a site was selected in Xinzheng to build a palace.The Yellow Emperor looked over and saw that the trees here were lush and the surroundings were wide, and he was very satisfied.He said to Fenghou: "Fenghou, I think, since we can't solve the mystery of the strange man in the suburbs of Qiongsang, we won't touch him now. Spring will soon come, and the grass and trees will return to green. You and Da Rao Just get busy with the preparations for the palace. I still need to discuss matters and train soldiers. I also want to go back to Youxiong in the north to meet my mother. I haven’t seen her for a year since planning the matter of the Yellow Emperor.” Feng Hou said: "Yellow Emperor has far-reaching thoughts and open-mindedness, which is beyond my reach! When planning the palace, Huangdi can rest assured." The Yellow Emperor said: "This time I went to the Fire Clan, I felt a lot. Especially Shennong, who persuaded Kuafu, kept the soldiers warm, and treated the diseases of Huo Di and others. It stands to reason that if I were Shennong, I would not be able to do anything. Do it, but he has done it all. He is extremely broad-minded, and you should respect him as much as you respect me in the future, and I should ask for advice as much as he does. We will have a meeting when we go back, and I will invite Shennong to come!" Fenghou nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!" However, after the Yellow Emperor and Fenghou, Li Mu went to Tongtian Hall, Nuwa Empress, Shennong, Nudeng, Jibo and his wife, Shaoyu and his wife, Bogao and his family all disappeared.The Yellow Emperor asked the guards guarding the Hall of Tongtian, and the guards said: "Nvwa Empress and her family have left the house this morning. As for where they went, no one knows." The Yellow Emperor sat in the Hall of Tongtian and remained silent for a long time.Li Mu lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Huangdi, I'm not afraid of you getting angry, and I'm not afraid of you hitting me again. I think you understand my loyalty to you. You can show it every day. In the past, I and Fenghou, Da Hong, Chang Xian and others often talked about the matter of the Emperor's family together. Everyone believed that the Emperor's family would sooner or later be an obstacle to your achievement of the Yellow Emperor's great cause. Judging by the respect you have for their family, the generals are also deeply impressed. Not convinced. These two days they came to me again to discuss whether they could kill their family behind your back. If you hadn’t slapped me last time, I wouldn’t be sure, maybe they had already done it. They all said, Huangdi, you are the best to me, and then let me breathe in front of you." The Yellow Emperor was taken aback and said: "Don't you guys do something behind my back? You don't know my grandfather Fuxi's power. If you do it, none of you including me will survive." Feng Hou asked, "Is the emperor really capable?" The Yellow Emperor said: "I heard from my parents that a boulder bigger than a person can fly away when the old man is lucky. He can also turn the leaves of grass and trees on the ground into weapons for killing people." After hearing this, Fenghou's face changed color and said: "It's so powerful! Thank God, it's a good thing we haven't done anything secretly, otherwise, hasn't this head moved?" After finishing speaking, he patted his own head. After a while, Feng Hou said again: "Yellow Emperor, all the people who came to the party except Shennong have already been prepared. Let's go back to the barracks early!" Huang Di said: "I guess, it must be grandpa who came back to pick up grandma and others. My grandfather is the most cunning person in the world. He may have calculated everything you have to do, so he came to pick up grandma and the others, but grandpa came back. Why don't you call me! Could it be that I have committed too many crimes?" After Huang Di finished speaking, a very frustrated expression appeared on his face. Back in the meeting hall, the Yellow Emperor said to Li Mu, Chang Xian, Rong Cheng, Yongfu, Cang Jie, Da Rao, Ling Lun, Huo Di, Gong Gu, Ning Fengzi, Li Shou and Feng Hou: "We have already done some things. There is no turning back. If you do it, you have to keep going. You can’t give up halfway. We want to take Qiongsang, and we want to take Jiuli. Even if there are a few weirdos and Yandi, we will continue to do it. Even better. Cangjie, you have to continue creating characters, and the sooner the better." The Yellow Emperor stopped for a moment, looked at Ning Fengzi and said, "Ning Fengzi, don't you like the pottery made by Empress Nuwa very much? From today onwards, I will call you Tao Zheng, who will take care of all the pottery things we have. Use your brainpower, think of ways to burn all kinds of colorful pottery, and strive to be better than the empress Nuwa!" Ning Fengzi said: "Decree!" The Yellow Emperor looked at Yong's father again and said, "Yong's father, I heard from my father that when you were with him, you were in charge of many things. You were too busy. Now, I will make you responsible for making scoops and pestles for all Xiong tribes." The thing is, spring is here, and agriculture still needs to be harvested. And you, come to supply spring rice.” Father Yong also had to order. The Yellow Emperor looked at Huo Di and Gonggu again and said: "Gonggu, Huodi, you two used to study rafts very well. Now that you are injured, you are no longer fit to participate in wars. From now on, you two should specialize in making some rafts for crossing rivers." The tools used are responsible for building more rafts and modifying the style of the rafts, called boats, so that we can sail in the Yellow River in the future, and if there is a change in the bear, we can take the boat to pass in time." Huodi and Gonggu said in unison: "Yes!" The Yellow Emperor looked at Rong Cheng and said to him: "Mr. Rong Cheng, you are also interested in the weather. You often talk about the emperor's grasp of the nature of the heaven and earth in front of me. Then, you will be responsible for developing a new calendar that belongs to us. ,How about it?" Rong Cheng said, "I'm at the request of the Yellow Emperor!" The Yellow Emperor looked at the rest of the people and assigned them: "Ling Lun, you are responsible for formulating the rhythm and inventing musical instruments to accompany singing and dancing; Lishou is responsible for studying arithmetic; Li Mu and Chang are the first to train soldiers; Gather manpower and material resources to build a palace." Several people agreed in unison.The Yellow Emperor said again: "We will split up. Once there is a war, we will gather together. In order to manage the world, the people under the jurisdiction of the Xiong, Taihao, and Huo tribes should be divided into groups. The family is the unit, and the eight families are divided into groups. One well, three wells are one friend, three friends are one mile, five miles are one city, ten cities are one capital, ten capitals are one division, twelve divisions are one prefecture. The prefectures must draw clear boundaries, and all tribes that belong to us A leader, such as Kuafu, can take charge of a state's affairs, and I will send another person to assist, such as Dahong. All walks of life must find talents, and all talents must be used by me. I want to show the emperor Fuxi, and I will If you don't believe me, I will be worse than Shennong Yandi." All the generals admired in their hearts, and they all took orders to go. Just when the Yellow Emperor was reforming the system, training troops, and building palaces, a person quietly returned to Qiongsang. This person was Shennong Emperor Jiang Yan.How could Shennong return to Qiongsang by himself? It turned out that the Yellow Emperor guessed right. The Emperor Fuxi returned to the Taihao Tongtian Palace without anyone knowing.After the greetings, Emperor Fuxi solemnly said: "I came back this time, and I came in a hurry, and I went quickly. I came to pick you up to live in Kunlun Mountain. Can't you live here?" Empress Nuwa was taken aback and said, "Why? Could Xiaoxuan be harmful to us?" Fuxi smiled and said: "Some things must be guarded against. Now Xiaoxuan has many generals under his command. If there are too many generals, there are everyone. It is hard to guarantee that these people will not have malicious intentions! Kunlun Mountain is a quiet place in the world, yes The best place for leisure and refuge. Everything in Tongtian Palace and Taihao Palace can be found on Kunlun Mountain, let’s go now!” Empress Nuwa asked: "Do you have to be in such a hurry?" Fuxi nodded. Shaoyu sighed beside him and said: "I really never thought that this land of Taihao, which originally belonged to our emperor's house, would sneak away!" Fuxi glanced at Shaoyu and said: "You don't need to leave, but this Xiaoxuan is the son of your sister Fu Bao, if he really fights with you, will you make a move?" Shaoyu said: "If he dares to fight, I will!" Fuxi said: "Xiaoxuan doesn't know how to do it himself, but how many of his subordinates don't know what will happen. Once you fall asleep and someone moves, wouldn't your head be lost in vain?" Shaoyu said: "Then let's do it first and drive them out of Taihao!" Fu Xi smiled: "To drive away, didn't Xiaoxuan drive away when he first came to Taihao, and now that Taihao has been handed over to someone else, is it something my emperor's family should do if we want to drive away?" Shaoyu pouted his mouth and stopped talking. Empress Nuwa stopped asking any more questions, and told Nu Deng, Ji Bo, Shao Yu, and Bo Gao: "Go, tell the women and children of your families to come with us." Shennong Jiang Yan said to the emperor: "Grandpa, I can't go with you, I need to go to Qiongsang." Fuxi looked at him and said, "You'd better go to Kunlun Mountain with me, and then go to Qiongsang not too late." Shennong said: "I must go to Qiongsang first, my family is there. Besides, Qiongsang still has a mystery that has not been solved. I think that the person who pretends to be me may be Chi You. If Chiyou comes to Qiongsang , Xiaoxuan sends troops there again, there must be a big battle. In order to avoid casualties, I'd better go to Qiongsang first!" Emperor Fuxi sighed: "It seems that some things are really unavoidable! If you want to go, you can go, but if you go alone, you don't have to follow Bo Ji. I still have a lot of things for him to do!" Ji Bo said: "But I'm worried about Jiang Yan, he has no guards around him now, and he doesn't know martial arts." Emperor Fuxi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Ji Bo said, "All right!" Emperor Fuxi said to Shennong again: "You are Emperor Yan, and the heaven and earth are the foundation of all things. The nature of the earth is broad, and the virtues carry all things!" Shennong said: "My child understands what grandpa means!" After Shennong sent his mother, Nüdeng, to Nuwa Empress, he set out on the road alone.At this time, the weather was getting warmer and the earth was returning to spring. Shennong knew all kinds of wild plants, but he couldn't go hungry.In the end, it took more than two months to reach the poor mulberry field.Shennong looked left and right, and thought: This is where Li Mu, Huo Di and others fought against the Niutou savage, why are they missing?While thinking about it, suddenly there was a voice of yin and yang strangeness: "Is the person in front, Jiang Yan, the great emperor of Shennong?" When Shennong saw it, a group of bull-headed and human-bodied monsters appeared from behind a hill, exactly as Li Mu had said.Then he asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you using my name?" A tall monster came out and said, "I am the second emperor of Shennong." Shen Nong said: "When will the Second Emperor Shen Nong come out? Why don't I know?" The Niutou savage said: "Since you are really the Great Emperor Shennong, you can go with me. You will know when you arrive at the Huoyan Palace! I, the Second Emperor Shennong, will be your bodyguard for a while." Shen Nong looked at the monster for a while and said, "Are you Chi You?" But the monster said: "Chi You, who is Chi You? Do you know Chi You?" Shen Nong said: "You are not Chi You, how can you know me, and how can you defeat four or five masters sent by Xiaoxuan at once?" The monster seemed to be smiling, but there was no expression on his face. Seeing Shennong looking at him, he shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go!" Shennong had no choice, so he walked ahead, and the monster followed behind. Before Shennong arrived at the Huoyan Palace, guards had reported entering the palace.Seeing that the guards showed no hostility towards those minotaurs, Shen Nong was even more puzzled.The guard chief Gonggong, Tingxu and Nvwa have already come out of the hall.The girl was still holding a baby in her arms. Seeing that Shennong was alone, she asked Li the moment she met Li, "Father, where is Zhu Rong?" Only then did Shennong remember that Zhu Rong left him a year ago, and many of the changes were unknown to his family.Then he replied, "Hasn't Zhu Rong come back?" The girl said: "Zhu Rong hasn't returned since he went to fight Xiaoxuan. Didn't you go to find him?" Shen Nong said "This... this..." several times but couldn't get back, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk after entering the hall, let's talk after entering the hall!" He went in front of the hall, but as soon as he entered the door, he stood there in a daze: Chi You, the leader of the Huohou Jiuli tribe, took it out from inside. Shennong looked back at the minotaur, still following behind, and asked doubtfully, "Chi You, you...why are you here? Isn't that monster you?" At this time, the minotaur knelt down and saluted Shennong: "Shennong Yandi is above, Xingtian is polite!" Shen Nong pointed to him and asked, "You are Xing Tian, ​​how could you be Xing Tian?" The monster raised its hand and took something off its head, revealing its original shape. Shennong saw that it was indeed Xing Tian.Xing Tian took off another object from his body and put it on the ground. The object made a "dangdang" sound when it touched the ground, and it was extremely heavy. Xing Tian also jumped up and said, "It's so brisk now." Everyone helped Shennong to sit down.The girl hugged the baby and leaned forward again and asked, "Father, tell me what happened to Zhu Rong? Is something wrong?" Shennong sighed and said, "There is nothing wrong with it, but this... is a long story, and it's hard to describe it!" Shennong took two sips of the glass of water handed over by the boy Yugong, and then said: "That day I went out of poverty with Bo Ji, walked for dozens of days, and arrived at a place called Banquan, where there are many mountains. The trees were dense, and suddenly we saw a big fire in front of us. We rushed forward, but saw countless people who were burned to death lying on the ground. Only then did I realize that it was Zhu Rong who burned Xiaoxuan's soldiers!..." Shennong had just finished speaking when he heard Chi You clapping his hands and shouting loudly, "Okay! I wish Rong well! Well done!" Shen Nong rolled his eyes at Chi You and said, "What's so good? Human beings are the spirit of all things. How difficult it is to survive, how tragic it is to be burned to death like this!" But Chi You said: "The person who was burned to death was from Xiaoxuan, not from my clan, what's so tragic?" Shennong ignored him, and said again: "Zhu Rong's soldiers and Xiaoxuan's soldiers have already fought together, and they stopped when they saw my uncle Ji Bo. I told Xiaoxuan, you want the world, why kill people?" Chi You said: "What? Give him the world, what is he?" Shennong said: "He is nothing, but he wants the world, if he doesn't give it to him, he will fight and kill people. I can't tolerate him killing, so I promise to give him the world. What's wrong?" Chi You said: "What? You really gave him the world. If he kills you, you give him the world. If I kill you, will you also give me the world?" Shennong stopped asking.Jiang Yan couldn't answer for a while, and froze a little. Chi You said again: "Besides, the world doesn't belong to you alone. Taihao originally belonged to Emperor Fuxi, the Fire Clan was created by the Suiren, and Jiuli was brought down by me with my fists. Why do you give it to Xiaoxuan?" Xiaoxuan, have you asked Fuxi? Have you asked me about my fist..." Chi You was still talking, but the girl yelled: "Uncle Chi You, stop shouting, let father tell what happened to Zhu Rong!" Chi You stopped shouting. Shennong said: "Zhu Rong didn't let me give the world to Xiaoxuan, but I've said my words, he couldn't persuade him, so... ran away." The girl said: "What? He ran away. He hasn't returned for such a long time. Where can he go..." After finishing speaking, the girl burst into tears. Chi You said to Xing Tian: "Xing Tian, ​​tell me, Emperor Yan gave up the world to Xiao Xuan, right?" Xing Tian said: "No, no, nothing is right." Chi You said: "Yes!" Xing Tian asked, "Why are you right?" Chi You said: "I mean, you said it's wrong, right!" Xing Tian said: "No!" Chi You said: "Yes!" I saw the girl ran out crying and screaming.Shennong looked at Gonggong and said, "Go and watch your sister, don't let her get lost." Gonggong chased after him. 神农站起来道：“我之所以这样做，也不是没有考虑，太昊之变，天皇伏羲也已知道，我也将让位与小轩之事与他说了，他并没有反对。火族部落，燧人族长已故，我为新族长，我便有决定之权。九黎族是我们一起寻找谷物草药时，九黎人受感化推我为族长，而新都穷桑为我神农国东迁之杰作，这些，我皆有决定之权，至于有熊……” 神农话还没说完，蚩尤便打断了他。蚩尤道：“你所说不对，有熊、太昊、火族我无权说话，这九黎与穷桑我有权发言，九黎就是我用拳头打下来的。原来你领我们去的九黎才多大，可是你看看现在的九黎，比原来大了上百倍。刑天也在这里，你问问刑天，当初九黎人围住我们时，第一伙九黎人被我打散，第二伙九黎人冲上来时，我们都害怕了，是我冲上去将那女头人抓住。如果没有我，我们可能已经葬身在九黎了。是九黎人选你做了族长，可你在那里才呆了多长时日。你走后，是我一直在九黎，九黎先后发生了多少次骚乱，你知道吗？先后有上百次啊！九黎周边有无数个邦国，都是我平定的。而且你、我、刑天、夸父所到的九黎，也只不过是现在九黎的一小部分而已。我跟你说，那些九黎人不服的时候，几个十几个人上来轮番和我作战，都被我打败了，他们后来终于敬服我为战神，和我交拜，共八十一人做了兄弟，现在的九黎人丁兴旺，衣食无忧，所用充足，家家户户和谐快乐，可以说，这都是我所做的。我以前和你说过，他们曾经不止一次地想让我发动战争，推翻你的部落联盟，并推举我做部落联盟的首领，可我敬服你和天皇，不让他们这么做。他小轩对九黎做过什么，可以说他连九黎都没去过，九黎什么样都不知道，他有何资格拿走九黎。还有新都穷桑，是太昊、火族、有熊、九黎共同出人出物建起来的，九黎也有一份，他小轩凭什么拿走。难道就凭他喜欢杀人你怕了他就给了他吗？我如果听了九黎兄弟们的话，也喜欢杀人，你难道也将这天下给我吗？”蚩尤盛怒之下，突然之间能说了，而且振振有词。 旁边刑天帮衬道：“蚩尤所言不错！” 神农来回踱着步，显是心情极为躁乱。蚩尤见神农脸色极为难看，想想可能是对自己所言生气所致。便搓搓手，对神农道：“我蚩尤平生所服者，唯天皇和你，如你不让位于小轩，我不会惹你生气，我也永远服你。可你若是真让位于那个小轩娃娃，我是一千个不服，一万个不听。若是你神农被他吓怕了，我不怕他，让他来打，漫说来他几千人，就是来几万人，我照样打他，照样能胜。” 神农又坐回地上，把眼睛闭上，半晌不语。蚩尤看看刑天，刑天看看蚩尤，又用手在神农眼前晃了晃，神农才把眼慢慢睁开道：“蚩尤啊，刑天，还有夸父，我们几个在一起呆过的时日比亲兄弟还要长，在感情上也胜过亲兄弟，你们什么时候见过我怕死，什么时候见过我姜炎怕什么？可以说我一年走的路比有人一生所走的还要长啊！我见过的猛兽，可能他小轩都没见过，我怕他什么啊？有一次我寻本草到了一座山，一群野兽围住我，看那样子都饿极了，我把眼闭上，心想你们吃吧，给你们做一回食物也不错，可它们就是围着我转，等了一个晚上也不吃我呀。第二天早晨天亮的时候全跑了。我为寻草药，一天之间，我就中毒几十次，脸都变绿了，这你们都知道啊！可我没死。仔细想一想，我做这些都是为什么？我们找谷物找草药不就是不想看到人间有死亡有痛苦吗？可人与人之间的战争是什么？不就是人吃人吗！小轩他发动了政变，他可能不明白这些或不懂这些，可是我懂啊！可以说，如果在他之前，你蚩尤也好，刑天也好，夸父甚至什么其他人都好，你们任何一个人说，你把天下给我吧，不然我就发动战争，这天下我皆可给你们，谁都可以。对我来说，没有什么是不能舍弃的，只要是能维持人和人之间的和平就行。我说这些你们可能也不懂，因为你们不是医者，而我知道，医者是什么，医者就是治病救人啊！” 这时听訞跑进来道：“你快去看看女娃吧，她说她要去找祝融，把孩儿都放在我这里了，说如果找不到祝融，她也不回来了。” 神农道：“你去让共工跟着她，她去哪里共工就去哪里，找到了更好，找不到自然就回来了。”听訞没办法，也跑了出去。 神农见蚩尤、刑天各自低着头谁也不再说话，语音也平和起来道：“说起来我们也有数年未见了，一见面却争吵起来，也许是我不对。刑天，我听我外婆女娲娘娘说，你走时是去了火族，夸父是你兄弟，我也想你是去火族的，可是你怎么又到了穷桑？而且是与蚩尤在一起，你们怎么又闹出许多牛头怪物来呢？” 原来那日刑天自小轩之变在太昊与女娲娘娘告别后出来，与家人一起竟直向火族夸父部落走去，可走出不远后突然看见，前面有很多的兵丁站在那里。这些兵丁，就是围在太昊外围的小轩之父少典的军队。刑天与家人便匍在地上张望。见这些人人数可是不少，比去太昊的兵丁还多。刑天想：“这是些什么人呢？他们怎么会在这里呢？他们在这里干什么呢？”可是任凭他怎么想，也想不明白是怎么回事。刑天等了半日，那些人也不走。刑天想，我们不能在这里傻等了，再等下去，还不知道有什么事情会发生呢，既然是去火族的路被人堵住了，而且，火族也处于旱灾饥荒中。等小轩占了太昊后，也一定来占火族，那时可能我们又要逃离，与其如此，倒不如去九黎找南火侯蚩尤算了。主意已定，便避开那些人转向九黎而来。 刑天到九黎见到蚩尤，将小轩利用送谷米之机将太昊占为己有之事向蚩尤说了。刑天还没讲完，蚩尤便雷霆大怒道：“小轩是个什么东西，不过是个娃娃，他有何资格占得太昊！” 刑天道：“我也这么想啊！这件事情，可能神农炎帝还不知道呢？” 蚩尤急得来回踱步道：“不行，太昊绝不能让这个小娃娃抢去，我们要帮助神农把它夺回来！神农……神农在哪啊？” 刑天道：“这……这……我在太昊时，点燃了烽火狼烟，神农也可能还在穷桑，也可能已去了太昊。” 蚩尤瞪大眼睛问：“你怎么能招神农去太昊呢，他不会武功，这不是让他以身犯险吗？” 刑天道：“我点起烽火狼烟，不是为了叫神农回来，而是叫天皇伏羲回来。” 蚩尤道：“天皇伏羲？好……好，刑天，你做得对，天皇伏羲要想制止小轩，那太容易了。哈哈……哈哈……”蚩尤大笑起来。 刑天凑到蚩尤面前看着他道：“你笑什么，小轩有几千人，而伏羲只有一个人而已！” 蚩尤道：“几千人有个屁用，我看不敌我外公伏羲一只肉掌。” 刑天道：“可如果天皇不去呢？太昊岂不是归了小轩？” 蚩尤道：“所以我们不能傻等，我们也要有所行动。” 刑天问：“我们去哪？太昊？还是火族？” 蚩尤道：“都不去，我们去穷桑。” 刑天不解：“为什么？” 蚩尤道：“如果小轩得了太昊，必然先去打穷桑，因为神农在那里。” 刑天道：“我看不对，肯定先打火族！” 蚩尤道：“穷桑！” 刑天道：“火族！” 蚩尤道：“也可能两处都打，可神农如果不去太昊，绝不会去火族。而是在穷桑，我们先保护他才是！” 刑天点头道：“也对！可你要多带些兵啊！” 蚩尤道：“不用，去个百八十个人足矣！” 刑天道：“我知道你能打，一个人打几百个不是问题，可你那百八十人都能打吗？” 蚩尤肯定地点头道：“和我一样，不但能打，而且不怕打。来，我领你去瞧瞧！” 蚩尤领刑天出了九黎宫殿，到了距此不远的操演场，刑天见有百八十个牛头怪物在那里一会儿伸拳，一会儿踢腿。这些怪物分成两组，一组各拿一手臂长短似棍却比棍扁之物在那里比划，齐出齐收，齐蹦齐跳。另一组各使一长棍，但此棍一头尖角，向上又出来一刃。也是齐举齐落，动作一致。刑天很是惊讶，他左看右看问道：“这都是些什么怪物，又用些什么武器？” 蚩尤笑道：“告诉你吧，这是我蚩尤战无不胜之八十一兄弟。” 刑天道：“兄弟？这些是人吗？” 蚩尤一挥手道：“停！你们歇歇，把金衣金甲脱下来，让我这位兄弟试试！” 那些怪物便停下来，各伸手从头上取下一物，又从身上脱下一物。刑天这才看清，原来这些怪物都确实是一个个活生生的人。 蚩尤拿起一物给刑天戴上道：“这叫金盔。”又拿起一物给刑天穿上道：“这是金甲。怎么样？” 刑天道：“这么沉重啊！” 蚩尤笑道：“不沉重能禁打吗？”说完从地上捡起一根粗木棍，劈头就打，刑天吓得直躲。蚩尤力大，一棍打上，刑天未怎么样，木棍却断了。 刑天道：“好东西，就是太笨了。” 蚩尤道：“一开始是这样，可练得时日一多，便与平常人一样灵活了。” 他又举起那两件兵器道：“这个叫短剑，这个叫长戈。用这两件兵器与人格斗，只要碰上，不死也是重伤。” 刑天道：“怪不得你说，仅用百八十个人就行呢，有了这些好东西，谁怕谁呀！哎，你是从哪弄来的？” 蚩尤又领刑天来到一座高山前，只见山上浓烟滚滚，几十个大窑之中火焰熊熊燃烧。大窑旁边，五颜六色的石块堆积如山，有人在石山碎石，有人在往窑里填石，有人在往窑里加木加炭。此处正是山口。冷风吹来，大窑里面能见火舌，外面则是滚滚浓烟。 过了几日，蚩尤、刑天与这些牛头怪物担了粮米便奔穷桑而来，还把共工吓了一跳。蚩尤与共工取笑，任凭共工拿木棍往他头上猛砸，他却不还手，口中直叫共工之名，待把共工吓得脸黄之时，才露出真面孔来。他们见了听訞，说明来意，便寻一路口等待小轩之兵到来。可巧力牧、货狄、共鼓、隶首领两千兵到，还没大战，便让这些人给吓了回去。以后刑天代替蚩尤领队，才赶上神农回来。
