Lili caressed the murals on the cave wall, carefully watching the shapes and movements of each crow, and was amazed. Although the cave is made of earth, it can be seen that the painter put a lot of effort into excavating the cave. Not only is the painting exquisite, but also the ink used should be a little particular, otherwise it would not be preserved on the cave wall of the earth structure for hundreds of years.

"Haiyue, why do the descendants of Yehe worship crows so much? Crows have not been auspicious things since ancient times? Don't ordinary people say that it is bad luck to go out early in the morning and hear crows calling? And crows are black all over their bodies. Those who slip up the hill are not welcome!"

Nan Haiyue said that this is what you don’t know. First of all, crows are not inauspicious. Ordinary people usually perceive things with the first sight. Crows are not only not inauspicious but also intelligent by nature. Their IQ is among the best among birds. .It was a spiritual bird in the former dynasty, and it can be seen everywhere in the Forbidden City, and the government did not allow people to hunt and kill crows privately. It was also the national bird at that time and one of the four great beasts.

"Is there any allusion here?"

Haiyue walked unhurriedly in front, and while carefully observing whether there are organs in the cave, she continued to introduce to Lili. According to legend, when Nurhachi was born, he was chased by Ming general Li Chengliang to the deep mountains and old forests. Tired, there is only one dog to accompany him.Nurhachi ran and ran, but he was too tired to run, so he lay down in the big forest and fell asleep.Li Chengliang's army searched the mountain but failed to find it, so they set fire to the mountain.Seeing that Nurhachi was about to be burned, the loyal dog ran into the spring and was covered with water, rolling all the firewood around Nurhachi wet.The dog dipped in the water again and again, forming a wide safety zone around Nurhachi. The dog ran non-stop, and finally died of exhaustion.

After the fire, Li Chengliang's army continued to search the mountain.Seeing that the army arrived, Nurhachi was still sleeping soundly, and a group of crows were chirping around Nurhachi.Nurhachi woke up and saw that the dog was exhausted and the mountain fire was still burning. He heard the noise of soldiers and horses down the mountain, so he got up and ran.

Nurhachi was deeply grateful for the life-saving grace of the dog and the crow.Since then, three rules have been established for the Eight Banners Army: no eating dog meat, no dog fur hats, and no hunting crows.

"Oh, the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty is quite popular, no, it's the fate of the beast, the fate of the beast!"

"Well, Nurhachi is a monarch who loves all creatures. Later, he had a hunting dog who accompanied him for the last 10 years of his life. I heard that the hunting dog was very loyal. One stayed by his side until his death. I remember that dog once Suffering from a skin disease, Nurhachi deliberately changed the marching route and took the dog to a hot spring in Benxi, Liaoning. Later, the dog's skin disease was cured miraculously. Nurhachi was so happy that he named the hot spring "Gou'er" The name "Tang" has continued to this day." Haiyue told another story.

"But you have said so much, is it all about Nurhachi's story? What does it have to do with Yehenala?" Lili asked again.

"In one battle, the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji was ambushed by the Ming army and suffered heavy casualties. In the battle, Huang Taiji was also seriously injured and fled away on horseback. The Ming army chased after him closely. Huang Taiji was weak and weak, and fell off his horse. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, Huang Taiji thought, it seems that this time is really doomed. At this moment, a black cloud suddenly flew over from the northwest direction. A large flock of crows landed on Huang Taiji, covering him tightly. The Ming army chased him and saw crows everywhere, making the sound of "croaking", feeling very unlucky. They ate carrion, and some people below were also dead bodies, so they all went around and walked away. Huang Taiji saved his life. Back in his camp, Huang Taiji ordered to feed crows on Sauron's pole. Lun pole, more than one foot high, has a bowl-shaped utensil on the top, and the wooden pole is placed on the white marble base. During the sacrificial ceremony, the person in charge of the sacrifice puts grains and pig offal on the top of the pole, and feeds crows and magpies; It was also stipulated that no one should harm the crow."
