"What is the second great calamity of heaven and earth?" Fang Suo leaned forward, his head stretched out, as if he wanted to drill into the TV.
All I saw was a sun appearing on TV.
"Is the second great calamity of heaven and earth the fall of the sun? No, there is no such thing as the fall of the sun in mythology. Could it be that after the birth of the ten suns, Hou Yi shot down the sun?"
When it comes to the sun, the great disaster that has been passed down in myths is only after the birth of ten suns and Hou Yi shot the sun. However, this is completely incomparable to the previous great calamity.
If it's really ten days, then Fang Su will be a bit disappointed.
According to myth, the ten-day drought caused by Houyi's shooting of the sun may have killed many people, but it was nothing compared to the catastrophic wars between the three tribes competing for dominance in the world.
However, this did not disappoint Fang Suo. The second catastrophe in the TV world came out, and two three-legged golden crows were born from the sun star. One was named Taiyi, and the other was called Emperor Jun. These two people claimed to be the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor, the ancestors of all demons, ruling over all demons under heaven, establishing the Heavenly Court, and governing the heavens.
"Isn't the Heavenly Court ruled by the Jade Emperor? Why would the master of the Heavenly Court become Dong Huang Tai Yi and Yao Huang Di Jun?" Fang Suo was confused, but still looked at him seriously, not wanting to miss a single detail.
This clip is extremely short and some content flashes by, just like the previous Tian Di's first great calamity. In fact, the entire segment is only over thirty seconds long, which makes Fang Su even more convinced that this is a movie or TV series trailer.
A burning passion in my heart, finally a classic has been produced. Just from the 30-second preview trailer, it's clear that this is definitely a TV series or movie worth watching.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Emperor Jun, ruled over all the demons in the world. The phrase "people mountain people sea" is used to describe a crowd of people, but at this moment, the scene on TV was a mountain and sea of demons, with one strange and bizarre demon after another.
The opponent of the demon clan is the witch clan. Fang Suo has read so many books and naturally knows what the witch clan is. The Jiuli clan in "Fengshen Yanyi" is the descendant of the witch clan, and it is said that the king of the witch clan, Chi You, also competed with the human emperor Huangdi for the throne. However, Fang Suo does not know where the witch clan came from.
The Yao tribe controls the sky and the Wu tribe controls the earth; the two tribes have always been like fire and water, killing each other on sight.
The final battle has arrived, and the war between the two tribes of witches and demons has begun. Fang Suo's heart is racing again as he focuses his mind.
"The leader of the Wu tribe has twelve? Called the Twelve Ancestors Wu? Gonggong and Zhurong are also one of the Twelve Ancestors Wu?" Fang Su exclaimed as he watched the TV drama unfold, "No way, Hou Tu Niangniang is also one of the Twelve Ancestors Wu?"
The two tribes of witches and goblins went to war, each displaying their unique skills. Fang Suo now wished he had four eyes to see everything at once. "This all-white unicorn with a single horn must be the legendary White Zhe. And this nine-headed creature can spit fire and water, it should be the 'Jiuying' from the Huainanzi, a monster that brings disaster to humans..."
"What is this thing that looks like a tiger but has a human face and a pig's mouth?"
"This I know resembles a Qilin but is born with a pair of wings, its whole body is dark and black. This is also recorded in the Huainanzi!!"
"It is like a nine-headed infant but it is a bird, red in color like a duck. There is no mistake that it is the 'Ghost Carriage' mentioned in the 'Ling Biao Lu Yi'."
As one by one the strange beasts from "Shan Hai Jing", "Huainanzi" and "Baopuzi" appeared, Fang Suo excitedly trembled all over.
"It's like a rabbit, one-legged crane finishes the square, human-faced leopard body cow ears and one-eyed alligator, wearing red robes is extravagant, classic! This TV series is absolutely a masterpiece" Fang Suo couldn't help but shout.
The Chinese civilization has a history of five thousand years, how magnificent it is. However, his grandson likes Western cow-headed men and elves. If we say that Chinese mythology is more magnificent, what about the Western cow-headed sword saints compared to those monsters in "Huainanzi"?
However, Western countries such as the United States have the strength to produce all sorts of special effects blockbusters or create various types of games that output culture.
What cow head people what spirits in Huaxia's popularity absolutely surpass Bai Ze, Jiu Ying these monsters, go ask the outside teenagers who like to play games which one doesn't know about spirits, and then ask them how many of them know about Bai Ze Jiu Ying?
But what's the use of that? So many good subjects, no one to shoot them, just like a skilled cook can't do anything without rice. No matter how good the subject is, it's useless.
Even if someone takes a photo, what is it that they're taking a picture of? Something that doesn't resemble anything? How can something like this possibly spread Chinese culture?
But today's trailer has almost all the classical myths of Huaxia, surprisingly wonderful, if the later stage is made at this level, it will be hard not to be popular!!
The plot in the TV series continues, with the Heavenly Court and the Witch Tribe at war. The tragic degree of this battle is not much different from that of the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin tribes, also with blood flowing like rivers and white bones piled up. One by one, mythical creatures recorded only in myths appear.
"The great war between the witches and the demons resulted in countless casualties, and also led to the complete withdrawal of the two powerful witch tribes from the historical stage. Nüwa created humans and became an immortal saint, while the Three Pure Ones founded a religion, the Western Two Saints made grand vows and became saints one after another, and the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth returned to their positions. From then on, the Chaos entered the era of the saints!"
"At the same time, the human race rose strongly and entered the era of Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns. The rise of the human race was destined by heaven and had the support of the Heavenly Way. However, with one drink and one bite, there is a heavenly destiny. Under the support of the Heavenly Way, the human race replaced the two tribes of witches and demons to become the main characters of the world. And the third great calamity of the human race in the world was also brewing..."
There is a third catastrophe, what exactly is it? It's actually related to the human race again, could it be the legendary battle between Huangdi and Chiyou? Fang Suo was extremely interested and eager to know, fortunately the preview didn't end here but continued, the third great calamity of heaven and earth turned out to be the Investiture of the Gods!!!
"How can it be the Investiture of the Gods? How is it possible that it's the Investiture of the Gods!!" The old man Fang was confused, and he himself had read "The Investiture of the Gods" more than a dozen times, and could say that he knew its contents like the back of his hand. But he couldn't understand at all how the Investiture of the Gods could be the third great calamity of heaven and earth?
Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods is not on the same level as the struggle for hegemony among the three tribes of dragons, phoenixes and qilins, or the struggle between witches and demons. Although it was a great war during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, compared to the first two great calamities, it really doesn't count for much. If we say that the war between Huangdi and Chiyou is the third heavenly calamity, then Fang Shiyu's words make some sense.
"Was it the person who made this trailer who wrote the plot wrong or is there something inside?"
Just as Fang Xiao was lost in thought, the TV commentator's voice rang out: "The Battle of Sealing Gods, the Three Pure Ones are at odds, the two sects are at war, and all the people of the Intercepting Sect have been sent to the Sealing Gods List. From now on, the Intercepting Sect has a name but no reality, and it will never again be the scene of the arrival of ten thousand immortals!!"
Three Purities Opposition?
According to the "Investiture of the Gods", isn't Sanqing just Taishang Laojun alone?
The so-called Lao Jun cultivated his energy and divided it into multiple bodies, each with its own mysterious skills; together they worshiped Hong Jun to cultivate their virtues, originally one Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones.
The Three Purities refer to the magical technique of Taishang Laojun, "One Qi transforms into Three Purities", when he was at war with Tongtian. But now people say that the Three Purities are in opposition to each other? Is Taishang Laojun opposing himself? Himself turning against himself is also too absurd.
Fang Suo couldn't understand, as if Zhang Er and the monk were at a loss.
As for other Fang Suo, it can be understood that Jie Jiao is the archenemy of "Fengshen Yanyi", but claims to worship all Buddhas and pay homage to ten thousand immortals.
Finally laid down the Wan Xian formation, although it was still broken by the Four Saints and the people of the Church of Explanation, but also a powerful array for a time!
"Buddhism thus rose, after the great war between the Jie and Zhan teachings, three thousand red dust guests crossed over. The deputy master of the Zhan teaching, Rulan, became the ancient Buddha Rulan, the long-eared Dingguang Xian of the Jie teaching became the joyful Buddha Dingguang, the winged Xian became the great Pengming Wang, and Duobao Daoren became the Tathagata Duobao, etc."
"From then on, Buddhism was divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. The originally poor and weak Western Regions greatly increased their momentum!!!"
Why wander three thousand red dust guests? It turns out that there is still this matter, Fang Suo seems to be a vagrant who has been hungry for several days, and the TV show is like a delicious food, absorbing it crazily.
"Heaven and Earth's Great Calamity has five calamities in total, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin three clans fight for dominance, the Witch and Demon fight for dominance, the War of Sealing the Gods."
"Humans are the main characters of heaven and earth, and the remaining two great calamities are all related to humans." Fang Su listened to the voiceover, watching TV with a prayer in his heart that this preview wouldn't end now, but would tell the story of the remaining two great calamities before ending.
But the preview of the TV show seems to be against him.
"To know what happens next, follow the genius writer Su Xuechen's blood-sweat work 'Hong Huang'!!"
A book appeared on TV, floating above the vast wilderness, covering the sky like a canopy in mid-air, as if it were the Book of Heaven. On the book, two large characters 【Hong Huang】were written in oracle bone script. The cover of the book had various Honghuang divine beasts and so on.
"Su Xichen is a famous writer and screenwriter, with works including the detective collection "The Holmes Case Files", the novella "The Legend of Wukong", and the micro-novel "Feed——Out". He is known for his rich imagination and logical abilities. This book, "Huanghuang", was written after half a year of planning and is a background book tailored for "Journey to the West in Huanghuang"."
"Hou Yi shoots the sun, the war of sealing gods, Nüwa creates humans... 'Huanggu' returns to you a dense classical myth, 2013 is a year you can't miss!!"
"Released nationwide on April 8th, 2013, look forward to it!"
It's over, followed by other commercials.
However, the old man Fang Suo did not come back to his senses for half a day, sitting stupidly like a wooden stake, and he didn't know how long it took before Fang Suo's mouth finally spat out "
"Was that the preview?"
This one-and-a-half-minute trailer, such a well-made trailer is not for a movie or TV series but for a product? When did product sales also have trailers? And it's so amazing.
"Just now on TV it seemed like they said that the content of this trailer is from a movie called 'Huang Yu'."
"And the author seems to be that 15-year-old kid who became a screenwriter for New Journey to the West." Fang Suo was indeed shocked, as if he had heard a fairy tale. "Fifteen years old is just fifteen years old, just this trailer alone makes me want to go buy a copy even if it's hard to read."
Fang Suo was eager to know what the fourth and fifth great calamities of the human race were, and why the sealing of the gods was called the third great calamity.
"April 8th is the release date, which means tomorrow?" He immediately dialed his son's phone number.
"Hello, who is this?" A very rough male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was already 11 o'clock at night, and Fang Suo, an elderly man in his later years, had insomnia and hadn't slept yet. His son, who was over 30 and approaching 40, had gone to bed early and was woken up by the call, which explained why his voice sounded so rough. Who would be happy about being disturbed from their sleep?
"Am I your father?" Fang Suo said with a bad temper.
The old man's son Fang Li was stunned for a moment and changed his words repeatedly, "It's Dad, what are you calling so late?"
"I'm giving you an assignment."
"What task, guaranteed completion" Fang Li said with a smile.
"Tomorrow go to the bookstore and buy me a book called 'Huang Huang' back."
"Oh, but Dad, I have a meeting at the company tomorrow and might not have time. How about the day after tomorrow..."
"What's wrong with you guys? My words are no longer effective, have your wings grown hard?"
"Stop, stop, stop! Alright, alright, I know, Dad. I guarantee this book will be in your study tomorrow." Fang Li heard and Fang Su hastily changed his tone.
The old man has high blood pressure and can't get too angry.
"Uh-huh, just remember 'Huang Huang', the author is Su Shichen". He hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with your husband? Has your father's high blood pressure acted up again?" Fang Li's wife asked anxiously.
"It's okay, Dad asked me to buy a book tomorrow called 'Hong Huang', the author is Su Shicen, I've never heard of this author or book name before."
"Su Shichen I've heard of, he's a genius writer who's only fifteen years old." Fang Li's wife.
"How could Dad be interested in a book written by a 15-year-old kid? Sigh, I'll go buy it for him tomorrow. Wonder if the bookstore has it."
