Before the End of the World: I Became a Loophole in Heaven

Chapter 244 Ancient Chinese Theology

While Taowu was talking nonstop, Ji Li also responded with exaggerated exclamations to satisfy Taowu, "Wow, so many abilities, no wonder it can be named the head of the divine bird and the divine totem."

Qiongqi touched his forehead. He was considered a reckless person. He also knew that Taowu was unreliable, but he didn't expect him to be so unreliable. He told everything to others and was trapped in the information without knowing it.

However, Qiongqi was also wondering why Ji Li... was so curious about Feng Hongshi, or rather, so curious about these things.

He had just learned from Taowu that his mortal enemy had disappeared after entering the penalty field, and no information could be transmitted whether he was dead or alive.

She is a direct descendant of Feng Hong. The emperor cannot execute her. She can only be reborn into Nirvana. However, no one knows where she will be reborn or what she will look like during this process. Feng Hong's rebirth is also a secret technique that is not passed on to others. She only knows that before the rebirth is completed, it cannot be seen at all.

No news about Him is the best news.

Qiongqi frowned again when he thought of this, as if he was paying too much attention to his mortal enemy, Qi!

That's normal. He caused himself to be sealed for so long, and he deserved it to be forced into Nirvana by his father. Ugh.

But they are the direct descendants of Feng Hong. There are very few direct descendants of the maternal family.

Ji Li stepped out of the spiritual space with a satisfied look on his face. The afternoon class was coming to an end, and he was still explaining the Zhou Dynasty.

When Ji Li came out of the spiritual platform, the class had just begun to talk about the deification at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

"We all know the history. After King Wen died, his son Fa ascended to the throne. He was King Wu of Zhou. King Wu appointed Jiang Shang as his master, who was in charge of military affairs. He asked his brother Duke Zhou Dan to assist him, who was in charge of government affairs. He also appointed Duke Shao, Duke Bi and others as assistants. He also built a new capital city, Hao, on the east bank of Yangshui..."

"The Zhou people are a tribe with a long history and surname. According to legend, they are descendants of the emperor. Before the Xia Dynasty, they lived in Shaanxi and Gansu in China, which is the land we are standing on now... There is also a poem about the origin of the Zhou people, 'When the people were first born, it was Jiangyuan. How did they give birth to the people? They conquered the land and worshipped the people, so they did not have no children. They followed the emperor's footsteps, and gave birth to and raised Hou Ji.' This is the famous myth of Hou Ji being born by following the emperor's footsteps."

The Records of the Grand Historian states: "Jiang Yuan went out into the wild and saw the footprints of a giant. He was delighted and wanted to step on them. When he stepped on them, his body moved as if he was pregnant." This is inconsistent with the Book of Songs, which says that Jiang Yuan stepped on the footprints of the emperor, while the Records of the Grand Historian says that he stepped on the footprints of a great man. The Records of the Grand Historian says that Jiang Yuan gave birth to a son because of stepping on the footprints of a great man. He thought it was a bad omen and wanted to abandon his son several times.

...Ji Li glanced at the events on his phone. Well, it was already beyond the class time, but the teacher was still lecturing on the stage.

"…In ancient Chinese mythology, there is a saying that after Ji Fa occupied Chaoge, Jiang Ziya deified the soldiers who were injured in the process of attacking King Zhou. This is very interesting. Why did Jiang Ziya deify the gods? What was the meaning of his deification? In the Investiture of the Gods, there are many gods and immortals, and there are many factions among them. For example, people from Jiejiao and Xianjiao will be deified, and their positions are not on Jiang Ziya's side. Many of them stand on King Zhou's side.

However, Jiang Ziya finally deified all the gods who died in the war. It seems that there is no difference, and it is even more incomprehensible that the bad guys cannot be punished, but are rewarded like the good guys.

In fact, "The Investiture of the Gods" is a combination of most myths and legends. It was originally rumored that King Wu of Zhou was visited by the gods of the five directions. However, no one knows what the gods of the five directions specifically refer to. All books and sometimes unofficial histories are also a reference. Later, the Jiang Ziya passed down by people was also Jiang Shang..."
