Chapter 13 The People Who Live in the Sea
At the beginning of the chaos and when Nuwa created man, human beings were just animals living on the ground that could stand upright on their legs. They were fragile and difficult to survive in harsh conditions, when half of the world was water and half continents, and less than one-third of the continents could accommodate human beings. There is a group of people who live by the sea, they are fortunate to be able to see the water god Gonggong on the seashore, the Gonggong at that time did not hate humans, and only regarded them as ordinary creatures, human beings can make wooden boats to fish at sea, or they may be overturned by the sea water and become food for fish, which is consistent with his idea, he believes that all biological chains in time should be equal, that is, you can eat me, but I can also eat you.
There are very few people who can rely on their own hard work, and they are tired of fishing in strong winds and waves, and they may die at any time. They want a safer way, with endless seafood, and maybe being able to breathe in the water will solve the problem. But man is not a fish and cannot live in water, just as a fish is not a man and cannot swim on land, and God is needed to realize such a wonderful idea. Humans prayed to Nuwa, their god of creation, that Nuwa would allow them to survive in the sea. However, Nuwa does not have such ability, but she can communicate with Gonggong, after all, Gonggong is the god of water, and he can make those who want to live in the sea have the ability to adapt to the ocean.
Nuwa told the Gonggong about this, and the Gonggong was naturally opposed at first. Since human beings were created by Nuwa, they are supposed to live on the earth, and as gods, they should maintain the balance of the world, so that human beings can gain the ability to live in water, which is undoubtedly to break this balance. However, the co-workers still agreed, thanks to Zhu Rong's contributions.
After communicating with the co-worker to no avail, Nuwa approached Zhurong to talk about the matter. Nuwa's original purpose was just to find Zhu Rong to confide in her heart, and she didn't ask Zhu Rong to help her, but the speaker had no intention of hearing the listener's heart, and Zhu Rong kept this matter in mind. The next day, Zhu Rong was at the beach and asked the co-workers to go to sea to meet him.
Zhu Rong doesn't like water, so he can only wait on the shore. The human beings living on the coast saw the appearance of the giant god and bowed down in the distance, but when the human beings saw Zhu Rong's terrifying face, everyone seemed to be a little afraid in their hearts: such a terrifying face, is this also the face of a god? How can there be such a big gap? Zhu Rong can see the thoughts of those people, and feel that he is so ridiculous, those human beings look down on him, and he actually wants to come here to negotiate with another god for their wishes. Zhu Rong, who had always been withdrawn, didn't pay attention to those humans, and it didn't take long for Gonggong to surface from the sea, holding the Sea King Halberd in his hand, and stood in front of Zhu Rong.
Seeing the co-worker holding a weapon to the appointment, Zhu Rong, who was not good at words, wanted to ease the atmosphere first, after all, he and the co-worker had the worst relationship.
"I'm not here to fight with you, you put the guy away. ”
Gonggong saw that Zhu Rong's attitude was better than before, so he took back the Sea King Halberd. The co-workers did not go ashore either, but just stayed in the water, exposing their upper bodies.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, the heat from your body makes me feel bad. ”
"Then I'll cut it short. You've never looked down on humans, have you?"
In Zhu Rong's words, only a trace of change appeared on Gonggong's face and was captured by him, and it seemed that this was indeed the case: "No wonder you are like this, because if I change my mood, I will probably be in the same mood as you." Gonggong, you are not only the god of water, but also the ancestor of living things, and the creatures on land have also evolved from the seawater, and you have your credit for making this world so colorful. ”
"It's really embarrassing for me to be able to say such compliments from the mouth of the god of fire. There is no need for high-sounding words, we have always been outspoken and said your purpose. ”
"Refreshing, I just want to say that since Nuwa created man, the survival and reproduction ability of human beings has exceeded your imagination, right? The most important thing is the wisdom and unity of human beings, although human beings are weak, they can't fight jackals, tigers and leopards, and their bodies are also prone to diseases, but they can become the largest race on the earth with such a humble race, don't you think human beings are incredible?"
"This is probably thanks to your fire god Zhu Rong, if you hadn't passed the fire to them, how could they have the ability to act in the dark night, and they could also use fire to drive away fierce beasts, and the meat cooked by fire also greatly reduced the probability of them getting sick. Do you want to tell me what you're good at?"
"Of course not, I'm just doing some trivial things, and the most important thing is human intelligence. I just gave them fire, but it was used for lighting, to drive away beasts, and to cook food, all of which humans came up with on their own. Even I am amazed that human beings can draw inferences from one another, and it often only takes a short time from the emergence of a new thing to the skillful use and development of methods. In the past thousands of years, they have gone from sleeping in the open to building buildings to keep out torrential rains and wild beasts, from being naked to making clothes out of the skins and wool of wild animals, from directing weapons from wood and stone to now being able to temper all kinds of metals into weapons and daily necessities. The rate of human evolution has surpassed that of all creatures on the earth and the sea. In other words, although you created all the animals, Nuwa was thousands of years ahead of you by creating only humans. ”
"If you want to taunt me with these things, you've already won. I'll go back if nothing else. "The co-workers have become very impatient, indeed, what Zhu Rong said is very reasonable, everything he said is actually very clear to the co-workers. In the past, he took the creatures he created as Ao, the sea beasts in the sea, the tigers and wolves in the mountains, and the eagles in the sky, and every creature at the top of the food chain was a proud glory for him. But it was the clay figurine that Nuwa casually pinched, and after being injected into the soul by Yama, it was so prosperous on the earth. In contrast, those fish, insects, birds and beasts have hardly changed, from birth to death, they just eat, reproduce, and finally bury themselves in the loess every day, and they have left nothing in their lives except for the genes they have passed down. There is no human language, no writing, no singing, dancing, no music, and the light of those animals is too dim in the display of life.
Seeing that the co-workers were leaving, Zhu Rong immediately shouted to him: "Are you so willing? As far as I know, the co-workers who have always been strong will not look at losing to others." ”
"Where did I lose?" Zhu Rong's agitation would take effect, and the co-workers immediately turned back to reason with him.
"You can't see the winner now, you won't be able to see it in the future, haven't you thought about making some changes?"
"What's changed?"
"Didn't Nuwa tell you a few days ago, I hope you can give some human beings the ability to live in the sea. ”
"Does that have anything to do with what you're talking about?"
"Of course, those humans who follow you into the ocean will henceforth believe in you, and they can use their wisdom to transform the world in the sea. It is precisely because of comfort and the strength of their own genes that living organisms will be inert, so that after so many years, there is still no change in living things. If you think about it, you have created so many conditions for the oceans, what can they do to reward you? Why don't you let a group of humans go into the water first, let them adapt to life in the sea, and let humans make a difference in your seas? Isn't that a good thing for you?, if you agree, then I will take a group of humans and go to my earth, and then there will be a group of humans who can adapt to the darkness, and people will definitely believe in me above you. ”
Gonggong felt that what Zhu Rong said was not unreasonable, and if Zhu Rong also brought a group of humans and made them adapt to life in the dark world, it would seem that he could not compare to Zhu Rong. How could the competitive co-worker allow himself to be inferior to others, he immediately decided to allow a group of people to enter the sea. In this way, the first humans who lived on the coast were given the divine power of co-workers, giving them the ability to live in the sea. Their bodies have changed under the irradiation of the Neptune Halberd, all the hair on their bodies has faded, scales have appeared on their arms and backs, and their respiratory system has also changed, and they are able to breathe freely even in the water as if they were on land. The first group of people who were able to enter the water were called Jiaoren, and Jiaoren were also the oldest human beings living in the sea. Later, Jiaoren brought about changes in the ocean in the water. They were able to use the creatures of the sea to their advantage, establishing rules and order in the sea, and the Hidden Dragon Kingdom was born. In the process of evolution, Jiaoren also influenced other sea creatures, and some fish also gained the ability to turn into human form because of human qi, and later separated the fish-man who evolved from fish, and the mermaid who evolved from man to fish.
The inhabitants of the three seas have lived in the sea for thousands of years and have never returned to the land, and the people on land seem to have forgotten that a group of humans once swam to the ocean and never returned. For thousands of years, there was a gap between people on land and people in the sea. When a few Jiaoren appeared from the sea, the people on land called those sea tribes monsters, and the people of the sea tribe did not recognize the people on land, thinking that they were a lower race than themselves. It wasn't until Zhu Rong and Gonggong fought in the sea that the battle between land and sea reached its climax, and people of different faiths were originally born from the same root, but in the end they were forever opposed by grievances that could not be resolved for generations.
The fish intestine stays in his room, and he is also thinking about his identity. Who should he live for now? If you don't understand your identity, you will be walking on thin ice in the future. He recalled the days when he was poor but happy in the world, and thought of the abyss in the sea that seemed beautiful, but everyone did not have a happy smile. He thought of Ao Ji's longing for her mother, she just wanted to go to sea to watch the sunrise but couldn't get her wish, and the Jiaoren King also used humans as a tool for fun, disregarding human life. Yu Gu seems to have figured it out, he doesn't care whether he is a human or a Jiaoren, he just wants to live for himself.
He walked out of the room and out of the princess's palace, and the palace guards did not stop him, after all, in their eyes, the fish intestine was just a negligible air, and he didn't even stay in the palace for a long time, because wherever there is power, there will be people who will do whatever it takes to fight for power, and many innocent people will be involved.
As soon as Yu Gu walked out of the princess's mansion and walked around the palace, someone called his name in the dark. The fish intestine followed the sound to a remote place, and the person who appeared there was a person he had already seen, and that person was Ao Chong's advisor, Man Zhouzi.
Yu Gu won't trust anyone now, because every Jiaoren is so good at disguise and will take advantage of others. He started a conversation with Man Zhouzi with vigilance.
"Hello, you may not know me, my name is Man Zhouzi, and I am a fish man. ”
"I saw you in the palace, you are the one next to the prince. ”
"That's right, good memory. ”
"What do you have to do with me?"
"Of course, there is a very important thing that needs your help, and if the little brother is willing to help generously, he will be thanked afterwards. ”
"I've just arrived, and I really can't think of any value that can make the dignified Jiaoren prince fall in love with me, and I don't know if I have this ability, so I might as well talk about it first. ”
Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and little brothers have great ambitions at a young age, which really makes Man admire. To tell you the truth, although we only had a one-sided relationship in the palace, I have long noticed that the little brother is extraordinary......"
"Well, can you get down to business? I don't know much about the rules of Jiaoren, please forgive me if I am offended, because I want to know more about the palace, so please get straight to the point." ”
Man Zhouzi saw that the fish intestine was an acute character, so he didn't detour: "Quick people talk fast!Little brother, you seem to be the descendant of Jiaoren and humans, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Then do you know who your father is?" Man Zhouzi asked Yu Gu, in fact, Yu Gu already knew who his father was, but that father was the person he hated the most now and would never recognize. So he could only pretend not to know and shake his head.
"Your father is likely to be the king of the Jiaoren, Lord Ao Gang!"
Yu Gu pretended to be shocked, and then asked Man Zhouzi what he should do. Man Zhouzi made a fool of himself and said to him: "Now if you recognize the king of Jiaoren, I am afraid that with the character of the king, not only will he not recognize you, but he will also put you to death." Because once he wants to recognize your identity, then you will also get the position of the prince, but now the power is just right divided by the king, the military is in the third prince, and the national government is in the prince, and your appearance will break this balance. ”
"So what should I do?"
"Little brother, no, little prince, the prince is already waiting at his lodgings, please follow me. ”
Yu Gu knows that he has been caught up in the power dispute in this country, but for his revenge, he must also wade through this troubled water. He followed the pace of the full boat, and was about to struggle and circle in this whirlpool.
