Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

"When did you become so studious, Lumenfly?" Caesar said, "I get up in the morning and read a book."

Lu Mingfei was flipping through the book "100 Lectures on Japanese Mythology and History". He was not interested in this kind of book, but Lu Mingze gave him this book, which means it is useful. From the experience of the past, Lu Mingze gives the east two neither more nor less than one, each thing has a use, it is like in the game when you get a mission when you get a can of dog, the mission will appear a dog, you need to use the can to lure it away if you lose the can of dog halfway, then sorry, you have to go back to the mission to get the can of dog. With Lu Mingfei's wisdom from the game, the contents of this pamphlet should be of some use.

"Learn about Japanese culture well, go back to brag." Lu Mingfei's mouth was full of nonsense.

The booklet is about the most superficial parts of Japanese mythology, similar to what Lu Mingfei has already learned from the cartoons. But it is still necessary to sink your teeth into it. The professors say that the myths of various peoples are rewritten according to history and that those seemingly absurd mythological stories have their prototypes in history.

The most typical example is the Great Flood, the Bible says that in the flood that flooded the whole world, only Noah's family and the animals on the ark survived, before the 20th century, non-believing scientists believe that the Great Flood is completely fictional, they can not imagine a flood that flooded the whole world, so from space to look down, the Earth is not a blue water ball? Even if there is a flood, it will be up to hundreds of meters of flood waves across the water, even aircraft carriers can not survive, let alone Noah's wooden ship. This level of flooding could only happen hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, when the Earth may still have trilobites dominating the Cambrian, not to mention humans, even dinosaurs have not evolved.

But gradually mythologists found that there is more than just the myth of the Great Flood, from Mesopotamian mythology to ancient Chinese mythology to Indian mythology, the Eurasian continent from east to west of the various peoples have circulated the story of the flooding of the world, the difference is only the savior, the Chinese believe that a strong man named Dayu took care of the flood, the Indian ancient book "Manu Code" said that mankind was able to survive the Great Flood because human The ancient Indian text "Manu Codex" says that mankind survived the Great Flood because the boat of Manu, the ancestor of mankind, was saved by a giant fish taking it to the Himalayas. Then some scholars calculate that about 12,000 years ago the Earth's quaternary ice age ended, the huge amount of melting glaciers, the sea rose, resulting in a geological phenomenon called "sea flood", the sea water flooded the lowlands, the worldwide flood remains in the memory of ancient people so that all tribes have left the myth of the flood to destroy the world. Today some people are searching all over the world for Noah's Ark, and they are looking for the remains of the great ship along the Black Sea and among the mountains of Greece, which were submerged underwater in the age of the flood that submerged the earth, both the Black Sea and the mountains of Greece.

Since there have been mixed races in Japan since ancient times, there should also be a shadow of dragon civilization in Japanese mythology, but Lu Mingfei could not figure it out at all, in his reading of Japanese mythology is very petty, and the magnificent dragon civilization can not be connected. The pamphlet says that a pair of male and female gods Izanagi and Izanami stirred up mud and sand from the bottom of the sea, and the mud and sand settled to form the country of Japan. Next, the brother and sister gods got married because they could not find other matches, forcing them to engage in such a forbidden love affair. The brother and sister gods were elevated to a couple of gods, and they multiplied the entire lineage of Japanese gods, gods of fire, thunder, mountains, and water ...... making gods create a roaring success, and even big poop can become gods. Japanese mythology is the family history of the couple Izanagi and Izanami, all the gods are their family members, and all the things are also their family matters.

"Are you trying to find out the relationship between Japanese mythology and the dragon civilization?" Chu Zhang said, "I'm afraid it's very difficult, the professors have tried to interpret Japanese mythology, but they have encountered huge obstacles, Japanese mythology does not match the known history of the dragons at all, for example, the gods in Japanese mythology are without arch-enemies, they just keep on reproducing like a big family, the professors can't interpret conflicts and wars from it, and wars are the main axis of the history of the dragons. "

"This book says that the Mikado family is the descendants of the gods." Lu Mingfei flipped through the pamphlet, "The first emperor, Emperor Jimmu, was a descendant of Amaterasu Omikami, that's too godly, isn't it?"

"That's a characteristic of Japanese mythology. It has a very coherent timeline, and each generation of descendants of Izanagi and Izanami is spelled out in a book called The Book of Ancient Matters, starting with Emperor Jimmu, and each generation of descendants after that is an emperor, and each generation before that is a god. In that sense, the Japanese emperor family is the only surviving family of gods in the world with a family tree."

"The historian is raised by their family, they naturally want to bullshit as much as they want to bullshit. If I get rich, I will also give myself a genealogy, saying that my ancestors are heroes, such as who and who ......," Lu Mingfei said here and began to scratch his head.
