193: Emperor Huang Xu, Wang Wenzhi's lifespan _1

"Little Deity is not clear about this Kylin either, but according to what has been said, it seems to be the totem of the Wu Dynasty. They say that the mystical bird gives birth to the swallow, and since the mystical bird is associated with water, and the Wu Dynasty succeeded the Great Yan Dynasty, they chose the Kylin as their totem because the Kylin is associated with earth, which overcomes water."

"I've heard that those people, in order to establish the Kylin as the totem of the Wu Dynasty, crafted quite a few stories. They claim that the current Emperor is protected by the Kylin, enjoying the Heavenly Mandate. They even say that before the Emperor's birth, a Kylin arrived at the Emperor's family doorstep, expelling a jade tablet proclaiming that the Emperor was destined for the Heavenly Mandate, hence the Kylin was chosen as the totem."

The Capital City's City God muttered ramblingly, disclosing the real story behind this matter to Yibai.
