Old Man Su nodded, once he accepted such a setting, it didn't seem to be unreasonable, "If you want to say that, many people in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are monsters, I heard that Emperor Yan Shennong still has a cow's head, Chiyou seems to be basically a demon who didn't run away, and that Yu, doesn't he say that he can turn into a wild boar to dig the river?"

"There were indeed many monsters in ancient times, but the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and even Chiyou were indeed all human. You see, the record of them is nothing more than the creation of culture, the development of medical skills, the improvement of productivity, and so on, all of which are very human. The head of the ox in the description may be a totem of the tribe, or a beast bone decoration worn as the leader of the tribe. But the reason why there are so many legends of youkai in human records is because in that era, humans and monsters were not really different from each other, they existed and lived together. ”

I was a little short-circuited, and Mr. Su continued to explain, "In ancient times, there were people, beasts, and demons, and everyone lived in the same world, because humans and demons had higher wisdom, so they worked together to create the early civilization of mankind and govern the clans and tribes together. Since Nuwa is a monster, she has more lifespan than Fuxi, so she appeared earlier than Fuxi, and later they got married, and Nuwa assisted Fuxi in governing the clan, and also took over the work of Fuxi for a long time after Fuxi's return to heaven. If Fuxi is a human ancestor, then Nuwa is qualified to be listed as the earliest ancestor of China alongside him. ”

"Grandpa, there's so much information that I can't figure it out. ”

Old Man Su thought for a while, "Before your old man reveals his identity to you, if you are allowed to see a monster, will you be shocked?"

"I think so, if not scared, at least it's rare. ”

"Then do you think it's rare to see foreigners?"

"This, old man, my foreign language is not good, but I have seen a lot of TV and movies, so I won't make a fuss when I see a foreigner. ”

"Well, that's easy to explain, you have to understand this truth first, because in fact, as early as the era of clans and tribes, humans and monsters have coexisted, so the relationship between humans and demons is actually similar to the relationship between our Easterners and Westerners. ”

"For example, in Yao Shun's era, Gao Tao formulated criminal laws as the Minister of Justice, and the Badger served as a judge, not because the Badger Pig really had the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but because the Badger was born upright and knew right from wrong, which you can understand as a famous detective talent, which assisted Gao Tao in serving as a judge. The two of them are not simply a relationship between people and demons, but actually a colleague relationship. ”

My mind flashed, "Ah, this, this is too clear, why there are so many monster images in the records of that era in human history, why did Lord Nulu assist the Yellow Emperor to fight Chi You, how Bi Fang became the Yellow Emperor's chauffeur, all of them can be solved." ”

"Yes, later, because of the decline of the monster clan, especially after the Han Dynasty, there were fewer and fewer people, and at that time, human beings not only multiplied rapidly, but also mastered a lot of advanced knowledge, and if the monsters wanted to integrate into human society, they had to cultivate and learn. Gradually, the group of youkai faded out of the field of vision of humans and became a legendary existence. This creates a communication gap, so later people are respectful of the sudden appearance of youkai. ”

"Let me give you an example, if you saw foreigners when you were a child, would you feel particularly curious, because there was a cultural exchange gap between China and foreign countries, and you didn't look down on the NBA at that time. When we were young, there were foreigners who came to China to travel, foreigners were looking at the scenery, and a large group of Chinese were looking at foreigners. But as you can imagine, in fact, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were already foreign students who came to China to study, and were admitted to Jinshi, and even held official positions, such as Chao Heng in the Tang Dynasty, who was a friend of Li Bai, whose original name was Abe Zhongmaro, who was Japanese. ”

"So this kind of thing is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the city is full of foreigners, there is nothing to make a fuss about. But why do we feel that after 1,400 years, we will feel that it is rare? It is because of the communication fault, this fault does not need to be long, a few generations are enough. But in the tribal era, human beings were not strange to monsters at all, and even created a civilization together. And a few generations after the monster escaped from the world, even if it was the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the human race had changed for dozens of generations, not to mention the monster in the world, even a rare beast that came out could be accepted into the Royal Zoo as auspicious. ”

I nodded, "I understand, by the way, you always say that monsters escape the world, since the demons get along very well, why do the monsters escape the world?"

Old Man Su sighed, "This is a very philosophical question, the difference between humans and demons excluding other characteristics is mainly reflected in the longevity." People are greedy because of their short lifespan, and demons are inactive because of their long lifespan, and as a result, humans work harder and harder, while monsters become more and more lazy. Later, human beings formed a state and produced centralized power, and in order to ensure the permanence of the country, the high-level must eliminate those who are threatening, and the monster naturally became the number one target. ”

"In the Fuxi Nuwa era, although Nuwa was a monster, she could be the first lady. In the Yanhuang era, every time I went on an expedition, there was no shortage of various monsters, and they were even entrusted with important tasks. And the reason why Chiyou is strong is because it is rumored that he has eighty-one brothers, most of whom are powerful monsters, such as Xingtian and Gonggong. But after the unification of the Yellow Emperor, the role of the monsters began to wane, but the threat appeared. ”

"Except for the occasional expedition to quell the rebellion, the Huaxia clique basically no longer needs a strong armed force, but the longevity of human beings is like that, stability is good, after stability, the human race of the year has returned to the avenue, and the rest are all monsters? ”

"In the Yaoshun period, the typical thug was Dayi, how many monsters he killed for those in power, and the other monsters were numb, and they already smelled danger at this time. They find themselves aliens and begin to retreat, but humanity does not stop. ”

He looked at me and said, "Do you know? Actually, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, there was a long period of demon extermination operations. Xia Qi's father, Dayu, used monsters to control the water, and he used monsters to overthrow Boyi, and then it was time to put Nanshan on the horse. Compared to the yokai, humans are smart and cunning, and they even use the yokai to eradicate the yokai, and then naturally the birds are good and the bow is hidden. ”

I was dumbfounded, "Still... What about such a history?"

"Yes, the monsters have experienced a major blow, and the monsters themselves have a weak ability to reproduce, which should be a side effect of a long lifespan, and over time, there are fewer and fewer monsters, and most of them are hiding in the mountains to be alone. Later, human beings developed extremely rapidly, and the yokai gradually declined, and because of the fault line of human-shemale communication, the yokai could not return to human society normally. Therefore, if the monsters want to have a good living environment like humans, they must cultivate into a perfect human form and integrate into human society. ”

But even this can't stop the decline of the yokai community, and now, there are very few hidden yokai left. If you count it, Bai Ze made ten thousand demon genealogies for Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor back then, a total of 11,520 kinds. This room contains monsters, spirits, fairy grass foreign objects, and so on. And now Bai Ze knows that there are only more than two hundred existing monster races. Even if you count the spirits and fairy grass foreign bodies, I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with the fraction of the year. ”

"So our ancestors came up with a way to give up the demon personality and become a human being, in fact, it is not a bad way, it is just a trade-off, at least we can rely on each other and keep the inheritance. ”

"That's true, I'm a little envious of that era of shemale coexistence. ”

Old Man Su waved his hand and said: "People and demons have actually been coexisting all along, but the times have changed, and monsters have become a vulnerable group, and they dare not expose their identities to the world at will, otherwise they will definitely invite disaster." This is true not only for youkai, but also for special races. ”

"But it's not, you're talking about demons, I just helped a girl settle things before, by the way, her father is Bo Yu, named Bo Sinian. ”

Su Jingting put down the teacup, "Oh, Si Nian's daughter, I remember it's called Ruolai, what's wrong with her?"

She naturally likes women, which is commonly known as homosexuality, and Mr. Bo can understand it, but in order to get past her mother's level, Fei Lao has a tongue, and even Mr. Bo does not hesitate to disclose his monster identity to her, which is solved. You see, the same human beings, because of their different sexual orientations, do not dare to expose themselves. ”

Old Man Su said: "This is also a major characteristic of human beings, selfishness. Although this characteristic is not unique to humans, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and even monsters also have it, but because human intelligence is not proportional to lifespan, this characteristic is greatly exposed. Of course, humans are not unaware of this trait, and some choose to restrain it, while others choose to form alliances to create moral standards to cover it up. ”

For example, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, and since it is a virtue, it should come from the heart, not be forced. Respect for elders is a concept in itself, and then it becomes specific to a certain behavior. But nowadays, people use behavior to refer to concepts. If you give up your seat, you respect the elderly, and if you don't let you sit, you don't respect the elderly. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the moral norms imposed by those who have become or will become the gainers because of their own selfish interests. ”

There is no mistake
