Hi guys! So you remember how we were starting to go over that myth about me, and Zhou Mu-King? Good, because we are going to continue that by talking about the characters in this myth.
Zhou Mu-King- This man was the 5th King of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty. Zhou may be described as being perhaps on of the most important kings of the Dynasty. He was said to live to the age of 105 before he passed away. Zhou loved to travel, all around, but he especially loved to visit the Kunlun Mts. where he found me. Due to his travel he was able to talk with other tribes and tried to sway their opinion to join him. He was more ambitious than wise, and his actions didn't always get the best of him. The expedition was more of a failure, than a success seeing as he only brought back four white wolves and four white deer. He seemed to love me, and once he left we missed each other all the time. Several decades after our last meeting, he remembered me and wanted to see me. He ignored his health and On the way, he became ill. People worried if he died the kingdom would be restless, and so they prayed to heaven that the journey would stop and so it did. The King died with his last dream unfulfilled.
You already know lots about me, so I am not going to describe myself.
Now I will describe another group in this book.
The Huns (匈奴), which was called Xianyun (玁狁, 猃狁) by the people of the Zhou Dynasty were a huge enemy. They attacked often. Like the Zhou, the Xianyun fought on horse- drawn chariots. They were mounted with bow and arrows which let them attack whenever. They weren't a group to come into contact with. As written in the myth "The army chased Hun for a thousand Li (里. At that time, 1 Li=about 0.4 kilometers). After this battle, Hun was unable to attack China for a long time"
