Recently, I found that many friends are very interested in the rare animals in ancient Chinese history. Books such as the book of mountains and seas, the annals of Guangbo, Mencius and the book of Shuyi all recorded different divine animals. Because of the complexity of the ancient mythology system in our country, there is a close connection between them. “Journey to the west”, “list of deities”, “mirror flowers and water moon” and other strange novels have been spread around the world, which makes these rare animals come into our eyes. In addition, many young friends are intoxicated by modern fairy tales.

However, when we talk about the dragon, our first reaction is that it is the top divine animal in the myth. He can fly to heaven and earth and call the wind and rain. Even in the book of mountains and seas, Ying dragon and candle dragon are equal to the ancient gods. Ying Long helped Dayu to control the flood, while Zhu long controlled the change of day and night, and had the ability to control the time. However, in ancient mythology, there was a unique “monster” that could fight two dragons and three Jiaos. That is to say, the dragon who has become a fairy and a spirit is afraid of this “monster”! What is the shape of this “monster”? What kind of fighting methods are there? Why is even the Dragon afraid?

The name of this divine animal is Yu. According to the book of mountains and seas, Yu usually eats dragon brain. There is a clear description in the book of narration of strange things: he can soar up and down in the sky and is ferocious. He often fights with the dragon and spits fire in his mouth. Its size is similar to that of today’s medium-sized dogs. It is also recorded in ancient books that the size of the dog is similar to that of the big rabbit. In a word, it is a relatively small “strange animal”, which is nothing in the book of mountains and seas. However, don’t look down on this one. It took a lot of effort for Nuwa to catch it. During Dayu’s flood control period, Ying Long was exhausted by fighting with many demons and ghosts. At this time, Yu came out to make trouble. It was impossible for Dayu to compete with this “monster” with his personal strength. Nun Nu Wa pitied the common people of Li people who suffered from the flood, so she personally suppressed them and did not hurt their lives. In the Shang Dynasty, Nai somehow broke away from the shackles and brought disaster to the human world. She threw herself into the sect of amputation and became an orthodox immortal.

Later, in the battle of deification, he was captured by the male body of the Taoist Cihang, that is, goddess Guanyin, as a mount. Only then did this scourge left over from ancient times be completely suppressed. Why did Lian Yinglong and Zhu long dare not confront Dayu during the flood control period? At the end of the Shang Dynasty, he was easily accepted by the Cihang Taoist priest? In fact, after the goddess Nuwa suppressed it for thousands of years, the spirit spirit dissipated quickly. Although she broke away from the shackles, her strength was not as strong as 1 / 10 of the peak period. She had no choice but to flee to the subordinates of the leader of the Tongtian cult for the time being. The bloodthirsty nature of my heart was exposed after the war of enfeoffment, and it was no surprise that I was accepted by Cihang Taoist. Even in the journey to the west, after jinmaoyu had been a horse for thousands of years, his power was no longer what it used to be. If it wasn’t for the “Baoling Dang” in his hand, he might have been beaten to death by the monkey king.

However, in its heyday, Gu was indeed an ancient “ferocious beast”. Many friends will wonder how such a small thing can be used as someone else’s mount. How can it defeat those wild and fierce dragons with hundreds of feet? This brings us to the battle style of Li. Its fighting style is very special. It has been clearly recorded in the book of narration. It is light and flexible, and can spray fire in its mouth. This fire even makes the Dragon retreat. At the same time, because of its small size, it is difficult to catch the giant dragons that are hundreds of feet long. In addition, roaring claws are sharp and can easily “break gold and stone”. Even if it is a dragon, its external skeleton can be easily torn by the latter. The dragon can’t catch the dragon, but the dragon can easily tear the dragon’s head with its body method, claws and teeth, and fire breathing skills.

In other words, “the only martial arts in the world can not be broken quickly”. A dragon as big as a mountain can not catch it. This is just like the domestic cat today, when facing poisonous snakes, it can control the fierce poisonous snakes between its hands with its flashing and moving skills. The poisonous snake can’t keep up with the pace of the cat because of its own inflexible turning, and is in a passive position to be beaten. But when a cat meets a real monkey, it’s miserable. The monkey has “sharp teeth and sharp claws” and can easily catch the cat. Even if cats climb trees on walls, they will be caught by monkeys, so the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint has been formed. Jiaolong and Yu actually follow this routine. Yan can easily break the dragon’s defense and suck the brain marrow. Even Ying Long and the God of Zhongshan, who are severely injured, dare not face such a fierce Yan. Therefore, in line with the principle that one thing falls to one thing, he became a famous “fierce beast” in ancient Chinese mythology. This is the reason why all the dragons flying in the sky should avoid their sharp edges. However, he also received due punishment and became a Buddhist mount. He was used as an animal all day, and the dragon became a Chinese totem. Disclaimer: the above content is from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
