Chapter 1517 The Difference Between Kunlun and Tianwei
Kunlun is a large mountain system in central Asia and the backbone of the mountain system in western China. The mountain range starts from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, runs across Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai. Two hundred kilometers long, narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.
Judging from these superficial data, it seems that the Kunlun Mountain we see today cannot be called the ancestor of ten thousand mountains. After all, no matter in terms of area or height, there is still a more majestic Himalayas in front of it. This is also the reason why Zhou Yi doubted his own judgment. He couldn't imagine how this untrue ancestor of Wanshan could be the key point in Gu Yikou.
But Gu Yi gave him a very definite answer. Moreover, she also made this explanation.
"Strictly speaking, the Kunlun you know is only a part of the Kunlun I mentioned. Strictly speaking, it is only one-third of the Kunlun in my mouth. The magic of the Dragon’s Mountains cannot be explained clearly by the mountains that humans see. If you want to explore its origin, then you have to start from the ancient times and the heavens.”
"The Great Wilderness Classic of the West says that in the south of the West Sea, on the shore of the quicksand, behind the Chishui River, and before the Black River, there is a big mountain called Kunlun Hill. It has a god, a human face and a tiger's body, with writing and a tail, all white, so let them go. There is an abyss of weak water below it, and there is a mountain of flames outside of it, where things are thrown. There are people with hoops, tiger teeth, and leopard tails. The hole is called Queen Mother of the West. This mountain has everything."
"The Western Classics of Hai Nei said that the inner Kunlun is in the northwest, the capital under the emperor. The Kunlun is eight hundred miles square and ten thousand ren high. There are wood grains on it, five fathoms long, and five circumferences. And there are nine wells, with jade It is the threshold. There are nine gates on the front, and the gates are guarded by enlightened beasts, where the gods are. In the rock of the eight corners, at the time of Chishui, no one can go up the rock of the hill without Renyi."
"These explanations for Kunlun do not seem to coincide with the Kunlun Mountains we see on Earth, but if you know that there is also a Kunlun in the heavens, then you will find that everything can actually be matched."
"West Sea refers to Qinghai, Quicksand refers to the Taklamakan Desert, Chishui refers to the Chishui River in Yunnan and Guizhou, and Heishui refers to the Heishui River in Gansu. In this way, what is caught in the middle is today's Kunlun. The records in Shanhaijing and Dahuangxijing are not groundless. Then, what about the Haineixijing? In fact, at this point, Kunlun no longer refers to the Kunlun on the earth. It refers to the It is this Kunlun in the heavens."
"Gao Wanren, the capital of the emperor. It refers to the identity of Kunlun. It is the highest mountain in the heaven, and it is also the other capital of the emperor when he came to the lower realm. When the two realms of heaven and man were not separated, the emperor of heaven put himself and the gods The other palaces are set up here for the world to visit. The Queen Mother of the West is the manager of the Kunlun Palace when the Emperor of Heaven is away. It is also the highest god that the world can visit after King Yu. Of course, in order to distinguish these two Kunlun, The people of the world used two different titles, Kunlun Hill and Kunlun Market, to call them.
Only later, when heaven and man were separated, it was difficult for the world to see two different Kunluns, so they were confused together. "
"Thank you for your popular science. I just want to know, what does this have to do with what we are talking about? What I want is a way to go back, not to research the allusions of Kunlun Mountain. That is what scholars should do. Not what I should do."
Impatiently interrupting Gu Yi's science popularization, Zhou Yi began to urge her to get to the point. Faced with his impatient behavior, Gu Yi said to him angrily.
"Sir, you have to be a little patient, especially when you are facing a lady. Besides, I think I have already told you. Kunlun is the passage connecting the two worlds you are looking for. If you How can you use them if you don't know anything about it?"
"Okay, okay. Go ahead. Tell me what you know!"
Raising his hand, Zhou Yi said while making a gesture of surrender. Faced with his attitude, Gu Yi first shook his head dissatisfied, and then continued.
"I have already said that there are two Kunlun, Kunlun Hill and Kunlun Ruins. Kunlun Hill is the bottom layer, like the foot of a big mountain. Kunlun Ruins is the top layer, like the top of a big mountain. In fact, Kunlun is still There is one, and that is Kunlun Fairy Mountain, the middle part of a big mountain."
"The bottom of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain. These three add up to the complete shape of a big mountain. In fact, this is exactly the case. Only the addition of the Kunlun located in three different boundaries can be considered complete. The Kunlun Mountains can penetrate the heavenly dimension of the two realms of heaven and man."
"Thousands of years ago, people in this land didn't use Kunlun Mountain to describe him. When it was still in its complete form, they used the name Buzhou Mountain. It's just that with the struggle between the ancient gods, the sky The Wei Buzhou Mountain was knocked down into two parts, and this is what is called the Kunlun Hill and the Kunlun Ruins later. The Kunlun Ruins are the product of the broken mountain top left behind in the heavenly world, and left in the human world. The one in China is the Kunlun Hill."
"Before the Qin Dynasty, the scale of Kunlun Hill was much larger than today's. Those ancient gods told me that at that time, Kunlun towered into the clouds and towered above all mountains in the world. It leads directly to the heaven. The gods guard and the immortals come to congratulate. It is the most prosperous place between the two worlds of heaven and man. Even the kings of the earth will come here to worship here from time to time. However, until Qin Shihuang unified Kyushu, such a place The grand scene is never the same again. Do you know why?"
This answer is not very difficult to answer, because this time is too coincidental. The Qin Dynasty lasted only a few years, and in these years, only one major event could cause such a consequence. Zhou Yi is well aware of this. So soon, he handed over his answer sheet.
"The first emperor conquered the sky?"
"It seems that you really used such words to describe the war waged by humans against the gods?" Although I have lived here for more than 30 years, and I have come into contact with quite a few Chinese classics before this. But the ancient one is still more accustomed to a more western way of expression. And for such a war of a special nature, she also has her own views. "This war is indeed very meaningful. In fact, except here, I have never heard of any other place where this kind of war will take place. Human beings in other places still choose to worship gods rather than gods. Hostility. After all, for such a thing, it takes courage just to have such an idea, and to win the final victory, the prerequisites for this are even more stringent. It's amazing, very amazing!"
"However, this answer is not accurate. Or, for our question, the answer itself is wrong."
Zhou Yi was a little surprised that the almost sure answer was not correct. After the accident, he became more interested in the answer itself. What is the answer? Zhou Yi set his sights on Gu Yi. Unexpectedly, Gu Yi really gave the answer.
"The answer lies in that guy Chisongzi. In fact, it was he who changed everything and made a fundamental change in the huge Kunlun Mountains."
"Of course, if you want to understand why he did this. You also need to have a deeper understanding of Kunlun Mountain. Get rid of the identities on the surface and understand its essence deeply. And what is its essence, we can Seek answers from who it was in the first place."
"Mount Buzhou, the dimension of heaven. Obviously, this identity that was considered by the ancient gods to be the pillar of heaven and earth is its essence. And why did the ancient gods have such a cognition? This has something to do with its natural function There is an inseparable relationship. Buzhou Mountain, that is, Kunlun Mountain. It has only one natural function, that is, like a node, connecting the heaven and the earth. Just like the World Tree of the Nordic God Realm, the Greek God Realm Mount Olympus. Because of its existence, the heavenly world, which belongs to the gods, overlaps with the earth occupied by humans. He is the basis for the coexistence of gods and humans, and the only connection between the two different worlds of the heavenly world and the human world. where."
"Under this premise, it is a very special thing for the god named Gonggong to collide with Mount Buzhou. Because he shakes this foundation, the relationship between the two worlds becomes weaker. But, also It's just weak. With the deliberate blessing of the gods, the Kunlun Hill and the Kunlun Ruins, which have become two parts, can still maintain that connection. This is why the above Kunlun is so prosperous, and the reason why the world of gods and humans is unimpeded .”
"However, when Kunlun Mountain, which has already been hit hard, is hit hard again, it is really difficult to maintain this kind of connection. This is what Chisongzi did. After Qin Shihuang, with great The mana once again cut off the Kunlun Hill in the human world. Just like cutting off a string connected to a kite, the heaven and the cut off half of the Kunlun Hill inevitably fell into the void, and this also made, The connection between the two realms of heaven and man has truly been severed."
"Okay, I understand what Kunlun means. But, does it have anything to do with what we're talking about?"
"Of course there is. Now that you know the meaning of Kunlun, then you should understand that this is your only hope to go back. After all, the heaven is not the kite that flies away, and Kunlun is not just a simple thing like a kite string , isn't it?"
