Chapter 156

This suddenly reminded Chu Yang of the Classic of Mountains and Seas he had read back in high school. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Classic of the Great Wilderness: West" records: "In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Sun and Moon Mountain, which is the pivot of heaven. It is the heavenly gate of Wuxi, where the sun and moon enter. There is a deity with a human face and no arms, whose two feet are turned backward on top of its head, named Xu. Zhuanxu begat Laotong, and Laotong begat Zhong and Li. The Emperor ordered Zhong to ascend to heaven and Li to descend to earth. Upon descending to earth, he begat Xie, who dwelt at the extreme west to regulate the movements of the sun, moon, and stars." What is recorded here is the story of Juedi Tiantong.
