Dear Readers
The Classic of Mountains and Rivers (CMR), an extraordinary literature of Chinese ancient history. it recorded, history, geography, culture, folklore, and foreign traffic, are studied. 九婴 (Jiu Ying), nine infants, was one of the ancient monster in the CMR, and was the monster i'm currently researching. The existence record of nine infants was indeterminate. Legend had it that it had nine heads, within each heads, they could sprit fire and water with bear mouth. It spat water when it was happy, and the great water swept and broken the houses, the roads, and the fields. It spat fire when it was angry, and the giant fire burned down the crops and trees. The nine infants ate nine kinds of food at the same time, person, cattle, horse, sheep, pig, dog, chicken, whatever it saw.
Ancient hero 后羿 (Hou Yi), a heroic righteous person, heard the existence of this monster. It lived in a river north, deep thousands feet. It eat people when they see, and ask nine infants for sacrifice at once. Therefore he decided to go on a northern expedition of nine infants. Fortunately, Hou Yi did not fail to accomplish the mission, and succeeded in killing nine infants. |
