The Classic of Mountains and Seas There is a beast named Xingxing, resembling a monkey, with a pair of white ears. It can crawl and walk upright, and it is said to be very intelligent, knowing everything that has happened in the past.
Watson opened his eyes and was startled to see a strange creature with the body of a bird and the head of a dragon standing beside him. Its dragon head was huge and its eyes were piercing. As for the bird body, it was the body of a dinosaur - "I am The God of Zhao Yao mountain," it said, "I sense your sincerity and have come to help." It turned out to be the Mountain God of this mountain, Zhao Yao Mountain, a familiar name.
Watson Look up at the sky, it's daytime, there are no stars in the sky, and it's cloudless for miles.
He has actually read a little bit of The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Classic of Mountains and Seas is divided into Shan Jing and Hai Jing. The academic community unanimously believes that Shan Jing is more realistic, while Hai Jing is more fantastical. Shan Jing has five Shan Jing, which are the East, West, South, North, and Central Shan Jing, while Hai Jing has the Four Seas within and the Four Seas outside, as well as the Great Wilderness Sutra.
Great Wilderness Sutra is singled out in some versions. Some people believe that Great Wilderness Sutra and the Sea Scripture describe the same area, but they are created by different authors with different styles. Otherwise, it is very difficult to explain the large amount of repeated animals inside.
Mountain God should be neutral, right?
They are now at Nanshan, the first mountain range in The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
"Your question can only be answered by Xingxing." The starry sky brought him here, and then spent a lot of effort to let The God of Zhao Yao mountain guide him, only to deal with past matters. Xingxing's positioning is almost the same as the "afterthinker" Epimetheus in Greek mythology. What is the meaning of the past to humanity, history will only give people lessons.
Xingxing obviously can't speak human language, but The God of Zhao Yao mountain has already left.
Watson is working hard all over, every hair is standing on end with tension. He feels like he's trying to communicate with a long-haired monkey, which is really funny. But how many humans have such an encounter now? Where are the people here laughing at him?
Due to the strangeness, people all over the world are dying out, and there are also many mutations in animals and plants.
Xingxing Although lively, it looks very afraid of humans, or rather afraid of the "human" image. Many of its kind have been eaten by humans just because of a rumor that eating its meat can make one run as fast as flying. In order to run faster, humans can wantonly kill to the point of almost causing the species to become extinct—Watson mourned for a second, then said, coming back to the point, for ancient humans, being able to run faster was also considered an opportunity to increase their chances of survival. It should not be judged with today's perspective. He was too arrogant.
Watson wants to summon The God of Zhao Yao mountain through a sacrifice for translation. Each sacrifice can only accomplish one thing, and it seems that Mountain God is very busy.
Different Mountain Gods have their own specific requirements for sacrifices due to the differences in regional landscapes, but they are generally similar.
He didn't have a white dog around him, so he couldn't use dog blood for the sacrifice. He did have a piece of auspicious jade that he received as a birthday gift before the end of the world, a gold-inlaid jade plaque. He didn't have any food around him, so he had to work hard to catch a bird with Xingxing. This bird looked very much like a chicken and had three heads, and it seemed very spirited.
Watson quickly dug a hole and hastily buried the jade and the bird in it.
Before I could even blink, The God of Zhao Yao mountain couldn't wait to appear, saying it had never seen such good auspicious jade, and the birds were still chirping and jumping around.
"Human, if you have any confusion, just say it quickly. With Mountain God here, Xingxing will definitely not dare to hide anything." It turns out it can speak ordinary language. I thought it would have to speak in clumsy classical Chinese until the end of time. Watson rubs his hands. He actually doesn't know what he wants to ask, because he has no interest in the past. Xingxing knows everything about the past and cannot predict even a minute of the future.
But he still opened his mouth, why "fleeing in confusion" instead of "fleeing in panic"?
In fact, this is a very controversial issue about The Classic of Mountains and Seas. As is well known, Chinese characters are pictographs. Mangzhong has "mang" and uncultivated land is "huang". "Mang" describes a kind of thorny crop, which can refer to land that can be cultivated, in ancient times, it was wild mountains. Mountains, huang, why? Because the mountain collapsed, so people had to flee.
"Flood." The face of Mountain God changed and he uttered the answer of Xingxing. In most ancient myths, floods are a disaster, symbolizing the beginning of another era where the old gods decline and the rise of humanity begins. This seems to be the case not only in China, but seemingly worldwide.
"So I came back to witness?" This is a borderline question. He came back, coming back is the past, but witnessing is the future. Xingxing cannot give an accurate answer, but it is very clever. It pointed to Mountain God, then pointed to itself and Watson.
Mountain God's face looked even worse, like a maple leaf hit by frost. It said, " Xingxing " means: "We have all come back."
Watson understood everything, including why the stars sent him here. It's not that everything has come back, but that everything has already passed. Another burst of white light flowed, and he arrived in a new space, a completely sacred and pure white cube, with only a table and a chair. At this moment, he didn't want to look up.
Despite every step feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds on his shoulders, Watson gritted his teeth and persevered, moving forward blindly. A red liquid flowed from his chin to his neck, hot with blood. His ears, nose, and mouth were all bleeding.
His throat was itchy and painful, swollen and hot, but he dared not cough. In the end, Watson turned out to be a snake, wriggling to the side of the chair. Unable to stand up, he had to curl his body, hold his head, and with a burst of effort, he slammed into the desk. Keep hitting it, even if his head was broken and bleeding, there had to be a result.
A book flew out of the drawer and hit him directly in the face, followed by a pen. Watson trembled as he opened the book, only to find its pages completely blank, without a single word written.
He grabbed the cold pen, not wanting to think about anything. The pain was unbearable, and the pen didn't even have any ink. The only thing he could use was his own blood. As his heart grew colder and his blood grew colder, Watson's writing speed increased. As he wrote, he realized that his own eyes had started to bleed. Time was really running out.
He hurriedly wrote: "Fleeing in a panic, there is another world. Strangeness prevails, causing suffering to living beings. Humanity, inspired by the torch of civilization, encounters wonders, perseveres, and ultimately finds hope."
"Dawn is approaching, the future has arrived. Cherish it."
In just forty-seven words, Watson's blood ran dry.
A small pool of blood, and all the strangeness vanished instantly. But people, while rejoicing, did not naively believe it was a miracle until they found the dried-up "Strange Wasteland," and Watson didn't even leave behind a complete corpse. Yet the blossoming dawn, clearly nurtured by countless pools of Watson's blood, was in full bloom.
Luo Huang, meaning to talk nonsense, but no one would think it's nonsense. Eerie, clearly existed and became the biggest shadow of the new generation of survivors in the post-lucky era.
