What age does the phoenix appear in earliest? Is probably more chaotic than the textual criticism of dragon. 凤凰最早出现在什么年代？大概比龙的考据还要混乱。 «Shan Hai Jing» has the cloud: „Has the bird, its shape like the chicken, five picks, but article, the name said the phoenix sovereign.” 《山海经》有云:“有鸟焉,其状如鸡,五采而文,名曰凤皇。” Henceforth the sentence looks, the phoenix sovereign should be a bird. But similarly is «Shan Hai Jing», has recorded: „Five pick bird three, first phoenix, first Luanniao, first phoenix bird.” 从此句看,凤皇应该是一种鸟。但同样是《山海经》,亦记载过:“有五采鸟三名,一曰皇鸟,一曰鸾鸟,一曰凤鸟。” This turned into three birds, which is correct, still does not have the conclusion. 这又变成了三种鸟,哪个是正确的,至今没有定论。 As for later generation, people usually the phoenix and phoenix explanation for the female and male different same bird, are actually a monarchial power packing. 至于后世,人们通常将凤和凰解释为雌雄不同的同一种鸟,其实是一种君权包装。 The phoenix, is not any birds that in the reality has. But after the Qin and Han Dynasty, the dragon gradually became king's symbol, therefore had the corresponding image of empress imperial concubines, namely the phoenix sovereign turned into the phoenix, and its rapid female. 凤凰,不是现实中存在的任何鸟类。而是在秦汉之后,龙逐渐成为帝王的象征,所以才有了皇后妃嫔们的对应形象,即凤皇变成了凤凰,并将其迅速雌化。 To put it bluntly, first has the concept of phoenix, people try to seek for some birds, echoes, fitting so-called phoenix. 说白了,先有凤凰的概念,人们才试图寻找一些鸟类,去附和、贴合所谓的凤凰。 Therefore in the antiquity, did not have phoenix word. What then its true body is? 因此在上古时,是没有凤凰这个词的。那它的真身到底是什么呢？ „Phoenix likely five, scarlet phoenix, azure luan, yellow yuan young, purple yue zhuo, white swan.” In other words, these five birds are the phoenixes. “凤象者五,多赤者凤,多青者鸾,多黄者鵷雏,多紫者鸑鷟,多白者鸿鹄。”也就是说,这五种鸟都是凤。 A that «Autumn waters» institute said: „The south has the bird, its firebird young, the non- Chinese parasol tree continues, really does not practice does not eat, non- lichuan does not drink.” 那《秋水》篇所言:“南方有鸟,其名鹓雏,非梧桐不止,非练实不食,非醴泉不饮。” It is not the Chinese parasol tree does not rest, is not the fruit of bamboo does not eat, is not delightful such as the spring water of sweet wine does not drink- this firebird young, is the true phoenix bird. 不是梧桐不歇息,不是竹子的果实不吃,不是甜美如醴的泉水不喝-这个鹓雏,便是真真正正的凤鸟。 ............ ………… Southernmost Guandong, Suwen. 粤省最南端,徐闻。 Here is also the southernmost of Xia Country mainland, again toward south, is Qiongzhou Straits, with Qiongzhou straight distance only 14.6 nautical miles( i.e. 27 kilometers). 这里也是夏国大陆的最南端,再往南去,便是琼州海峡,与琼州直线距离仅14.6海里(即27公里)。 This district islands are numerous, the harbor spreads all over, light/only the harbor jetty has more than 50. 该县岛屿众多,港湾星罗棋布,光港口埠头就有50多个。 In the Southwest, then the big stretch of mangrove forest land, is the growth near the coast, was corroded by the tide for a long time, but one special trees that forms. Finally after environment mutation, the mangrove forest expands crazily, spread in the sea water unexpectedly, became the spirit that amphibious had both to plant truly. 在西南方,则有一大片红树林地,本是生长在海岸边,长期受潮水侵蚀,而形成的一种特殊树木。结果环境异变后,红树林疯狂扩张,竟然铺到了海水里,真正成了水陆兼备的灵植。 The tree root grips in the water, winds upward unceasingly, is entangling one, composed tree islands unexpectedly, can walk freely, calculates the marvelous sight. 树根扎在水中,往上不断盘结,一株缠着一株,竟组成了一座座树岛,可以自由行走,也算奇观。 „Rustle!” “沙沙！” Sound of footsteps transmits, 67 people open out the branches and leaves, reveals the exhausted figure. They are the red lotus send the disciple, is responsible for searching for Suwen, the leader is Lin health/life, is Lin Zhe consanguineous brothers. 一阵脚步声传来,六七个人拨开枝叶,露出疲惫的身形。他们是红莲派门人,负责搜寻徐闻一带,为首者叫蔺生,是蔺哲的同族兄弟。 The phoenix true body is not easy to look, what looked is the traces, this needs to be careful and patient. Several people leafed through Suwen to be harvestless, threw into the mangrove forest, if did not have the clue again, can only go back to report. 凤凰真身不好找,找的是蛛丝马迹,这就需要细致和耐心。几人翻遍了徐闻毫无收获,又一头扎进了红树林,如果再无线索,只能回去报备了。 „flatter lives, did you say cultivation base of that bird strongly? Who are the parents? Cannot jump from the stone?” “阿生,你说那鸟儿的修为到底有多强？爹妈是谁？总不能从石头里蹦出来的吧？” A person is walking, spoke thoughtlessly to ask. 一人走着走着,随口问道。 „«Huainanzi» writes, feather lives wyvern, wyvern lives the phoenix sovereign. Feather is a flight animal Yuan ancestor in legend, naturally no one has seen.” “《淮南子》有写,羽嘉生飞龙,飞龙生凤皇。羽嘉是传说中的飞行动物元祖,当然谁也没见过。” Lin health/life over 30 years old is, the makings are elegant, have read many books, said with a smile: „These things have too the artificial garnishment, listens. Initially East Sea melted the dragon time, the official did not say that the dragon was the essence of the world, on feeling to live? I estimated that the phoenix is also the same, should feel to live.” 蔺生三十多岁,气质文雅,读过不少书,笑道:“这些东西有太多人工添饰,听听就得。当初东海化龙的时候,官方不说龙乃天地之精,应感而生么？我估计凤凰也一样,都是应感而生。” „Ha! Does that obscene dragon also match the essence of the world?” Has the people sound to ridicule. “哈！那条淫龙也配天地之精？”有人大声嘲笑。 Others have not refuted, all reveals the color of despising. 旁人也没反驳,皆露出鄙夷之色。 Most starts, the common people awe to the Azure Dragon very much, afterward truth slowly surfaced, special knows: The lying trough, you are not the real dragon, one snake. 最开始的时候,老百姓对青龙还是很敬畏的,后来慢慢的真相浮出水面,才特么知道:卧槽,你丫不是真龙啊,就一条长虫化的。 ! 嘁！ This impression was far on the difference, does not take the right way to walk the dry say/way, realm no wonder crabbed incomparable, halts. Gradually, looked again that dragon had nothing to feel, instead had the faint despising feeling. 这观感就差远了,不走正路偏走旱道,境界难怪艰涩无比,止步不前。久而久之,再看那龙就没啥感觉了,反而有种隐隐的鄙视感。 „That obscene dragon Huaxing, is Human Immortal realm. This phoenix must really be the world lives, won't miss? We let us not approach, so as to avoid draws fire to oneself.” Also some people reminded. “那淫龙化形,乃人仙境界。这凤凰要真是天地所生,怎么也不会差吧？我们千万别靠近,免得引火烧身。”又有人提醒。 „All right, we do not catch it, fears anything. Really must find, takes a look at one is not good from afar?” “没事,我们又不是抓它,怕什么。真要找到了,远远瞅一眼还不行？” „Do not worry, this explained that our world is prosperous, has the phoenix auspicious omen, on feeling to live.” “别担心,这说明咱们人间昌盛,才有凤凰祥瑞,应感而生。” „Yes, auspicious omen!” “就是,祥瑞啊！” The people many have not cared, after all in the bone of Xia Country person, is flowing this bloodlines. Mentioned the dragon, the phoenix, the Qilin, the panda, first was not the fear, but had a strange closeness. 众人多没在意,毕竟在夏国人的骨子里,就流淌着这种血脉。提起龙啊,凤啊,麒麟啊,熊猫啊,首先不是害怕,而是有一种古怪的亲近感。 Like what glory. 就像什么荣耀一样。 The mangrove forest is broad and crowded, tree islands are neighboring, the middle only keeps a slit that allows the small boat to go through, the clever point stride one cross can jump over. 红树林广阔且密集,一座座树岛相邻,中间只留一条容小舟穿行的缝隙,灵巧点的大步一跨就能跳过去。 Often has birds in groups to fly round, crash-bang is startled a piece of insect cry. The sun sets in the west gradually, the afterglow is contaminated, sets up in the island and sea level is rolling the multi-colored sunlight, warm belt/bring blood. 不时有成群结队的鸟类飞来飞去,哗啦啦惊起一片虫鸣。日头渐渐西斜,余晖浸染,树岛和海面上滚动着霞光,暖中带血。 The people beat in the islands, searched for a long time, Lin health/life of leading, the index finger is arriving at the lip suddenly: „!” 众人在岛间跳动,搜寻了好久,带队的蔺生忽然一顿,食指抵着嘴唇:“嘘！” The squad acts in harmony, odd/surplus people disperses immediately, forms the most perfect ambush ring. 小队配合默契,余人立即分散开,形成一个最完美的伏击圈。 Waited for the moment, listens to the deep place to brush to make noise, approaches rapidly, breaks with the grove, jumps out of -and-a-half person of high blue big birds. 等了片刻,就听深处刷刷作响,迅速靠近,跟着树丛冲开,跳出一只半人多高的蓝色大鸟。 This workman blue feather quail, after the disassimilation, cannot soar, can only slide at low altitude, but runs fast, is savage, good carnivorous. 这鸟叫蓝羽鹑,异化后不能飞翔,只能低空滑行,但跑的飞快,性情凶残,好食肉。 If in the past, must have a fight, today is very strange. The blue feather quail shot a look at one, did not pay attention, supports the belly of plump to shake. 若在以往,必有一番战斗,今天却很古怪。蓝羽鹑瞥了一眼,不予理会,挺着圆滚滚的肚子晃悠走了。 „Un? Perhaps just ate to the full, is disinclined to make war......” “嗯？许是刚刚吃饱,懒得开战吧……” Lin health/life stares, has not done thinks, greeted the companion to walk toward the deep place. Walked shortly, really smells smell of blood, discovered a gigantic corpse in an open area. 蔺生一愣,没做多想,招呼同伴往深处走去。走了不久,果然闻到一丝血腥味,在一处空地上发现了一只硕大尸体。 Also is the birds, the meat was gnawed most probably, on the surroundings hard tree root full is the claw seal. 也是鸟类,肉被啃掉了大半,周围坚硬的树根上满是爪印。 „Grey he, died very for a long time, cause of death......” “灰头鹖,死了挺长时间,死因么……” A person flips the corpse, strange say/way: „Well, unexpectedly has not caused heavy losses, the physique internal organs have not been damaged, seem like......” 一人翻了翻尸体,古怪道:“咦,居然没有重创,筋骨内脏也没受损,倒像……” „Seem like what?” “倒像什么？” „Scares to death while still alive.” “活活吓死的。” Scares to death...... 吓死的…… The people are first startled, immediately is one happy, Lin Shengmang said: „Quickly, whether there has a look at the clue everywhere?” 众人先是一怔,随即又是一喜,蔺生忙道:“快,四处看看有无线索？” Everyone disperses immediately. 大家立时分散开。 „These vestiges of the past are the blue feather quail, the second lifeform has not come.” “这些爪印都是蓝羽鹑的,没有第二只生物来过。” „All around not fighting trace, aura also not residual.” “四周并无打斗痕迹,气息也无残留。” „This he has not only struggled probably, plump but actually.” “这只鹖好像也没怎么挣扎,扑通一声就倒了。” „Is the phoenix?” “是凤凰么？” Several people gather, looks at Lin health/life hot. Lin health/life thinks deeply about the moment, said: „The grey he strength is not weak, in the mangrove forest is also a tyrant, can so relaxed kills it, showing is powerful. Moreover what is more important is......” 几人重新聚集,都热滚滚的看着蔺生。蔺生思索片刻,道:“灰头鹖实力不弱,在红树林也是一霸,能如此轻松的将其干掉,说明实力非常强。而且更重要的是……” He, in the tone also brought an excitement, „do you have the discovery, we searched for the mangrove forest, had not found any large-scale lifeform , perched the stay the trace.” 他顿了顿,语气中也带了一丝兴奋,“你们有没有发现,我们搜遍了红树林,并未找到任何大型生物,包括人,栖息停留的痕迹。” „You were say......” “你是说……” „Phoenix non- Chinese parasol tree does not fall, even if it opposes the enemy, is not willing to roost to fall in this!” “凤凰非梧桐不落,它就算对敌,也不肯在此栖落！” Lin health/life burst with joy completely, said: „I have an intuition, that phoenix in Guandong, in the , looks , to continue to look!” 蔺生完全沸腾了起来,道:“我有种直觉,那凤凰就在粤省,就在附近,找,继续找！” Also( has also has...... another friendship to push the book: «I Really am Second generation of rich») (还有还有……另友情推书:《我真是个富二代》)
