Chapter 121: History
The long blond hair was combed on his back, and he was wearing a big red cloak, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes were bright.
The first impression of the emperor is majesty, incomparable majesty.
The emperor's cheekbones were high, and unlike the glittering golden back, his temples were white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, which made his face as rough as the bark of an old tree, and he looked like he had been through the vicissitudes of life.
The emperor's age should be very old, he belongs to the kind of loess that has stepped into his head, and his old face seems to be extremely tired, but his bright eyes are very abrupt.
The appearance of the old emperor gave Chu Yu an extremely disobedient feeling, and this tiger-backed body was placed in the surface world, and he was definitely the master who could go to the bodybuilding competition by eating a few catties of protein powder.
But the old and tired face seemed to be ready to buy a coffin at any time to arrange the funeral.
The most strange thing is still those eyes, indescribably weird feelings, cold at a glance, very majestic, but after looking at each other, I feel that through these eyes, I feel that this guy is very shrewd, and if I continue to look at each other, I feel that the old emperor is a decisive iron-blooded leader.
The old emperor had a pair of eyes that were very deceptive.
A thirty-year-old body, an eighty-year-old face, and a pair of eyes with a unique temperament and weirdness.
This was the old emperor's first impression of Chu Yu.
The old emperor's lightning-like gaze swept over the three of Chu Yu.
Chu Yu's face was calm, and he smiled and signaled, neither arrogant nor humble.
Dracula, on the other hand, was sleepy-eyed, yawned, and looked a little uneducated.
As for the Flame Serpent, it is better than Dracula, with squinting eyes, like a creditor looking at a debtor who wants to sell his sons and daughters.
Emperor St. Witus had a smile on his face, a smile of great satisfaction, and then sat down on the throne representing supreme power, and tapped lightly on the unpretentious scepter.
The scepter is generally a symbol of the supreme imperial power, generally made of precious metals such as gold and silver, but the scepter in the old emperor's hand looks like it is made of ordinary wood, and it is not inlaid with any gems, but like a broken umbrella, hanging many ears of wheat, each ear of wheat has a thumb-sized bone product.
After the old emperor knocked on the scepter, the guards knelt on one knee in unison, and the three of Chu Yu did not move in place.
Just when Chu Yu thought that he was going to stage a drama of "why don't those who come kneel", the old emperor's eyes focused on Wyatt's body.
Because it was a silent exchange of information, Chu Yu didn't know what this group of people was talking about, he just saw that Wyatt's face was a little bad, and finally seemed to be extremely reluctant to nod slightly.
Wyatt turned around, smiled apologetically at Chu Yu, and then left the palace quickly, and the guards also faded into the darkness like a tide.
Wyatt left, as did the Longbow Sisters and the Goldhelm Soldiers.
This situation obviously surprised Chu Yu.
This group of guards ... Not to defend yourself, but to watch out for Wyatt?
Chu Yu really couldn't figure out this reason, Wyatt was the highest military commander in the entire empire, how could he secretly disagree with the emperor?
Besides, it doesn't look like the old emperor deliberately called so many guards to support the field, and if so, why did the guards leave with Wyatt's departure?
Chu Yu glanced at the old emperor slightly, puzzled.
The flame snake whispered: "At a distance of seven meters, I can capture this old man in two seconds." ”
Dracula also whispered, "The nearest guard is also twenty meters away. ”
Chu Yu didn't pay attention to these two bold idiots, but he was secretly strange in his heart.
Either those guards were guarding against Wyatt, or the old emperor was bold.
The old emperor played with the scepter in his hand, and his voice was low and powerful: "You are... The Chinese people, my ancestors, also come from the surface. ”
One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and Chu Yu stood on the spot, and even Dracula and Yan Snake's faces changed drastically.
"We are banished to the underworld. ”
The old emperor twisted his body, as if he didn't like the wide throne very much, then stood up, and after walking down the steps, he sat down on the steps with such a big grin, and gently tapped his palms with his scepter, and said with a smile: "Very surprised, right?"
The old emperor struck his cane with some kind of inexplicable rhythm, laughing and groaning.
Chu Yu quickly regained his composure and smiled bitterly.
This is a surprise, it is a complete shock.
Flame Snake looked at Dracula with a suspicious expression, "Have you heard of this group of people on the surface?"
"Haven't heard of it. Dracula shook his head, looked at the old emperor and asked, "When did you come to the underworld?"
"Devonian. ”
"Devonian?" Chu Yu was taken aback again and was dumbfounded: "The fourth epoch in the Paleozoic Era of the geological era, the Devonian?"
Dracula exclaimed, "Three and a half million years ago?"
Chu Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty the Emperor, as far as I know, the Devonian Period... Even in the late Devonian period, only primitive amphibians and labyrinthians were born, and at that time, all species seemed to be marine life, right?"
"Yes, you know what the surface humans call the Hercynian movement?"
Chu Yu nodded.
The so-called Hercynian movement refers to a period of great changes in the situation on land and sea, which also led to mass extinction of species, at least 75% of the declared species on the earth were extinct, and the end of the Hercynian movement also represents the end of the Paleozoic Era.
To put it more colloquially, the Hercynian movement is actually an orogeny, the Hercynian trough in Western Europe, the Appalachian trough in eastern North America, the Ural trough at the junction of Europe and Asia, the Kazakh trough in Central Asia and the Tianshan Mountains, Qilian Mountains, South Qinling Mountains, Daxing'an Mountains and other troughs in China fold and return, forming a huge mountain system, and then the trough belt between the ancient platforms in the northern hemisphere becomes an eroded mountain.
"Our ancestors came to the underworld during the Hercynian Movement. ”
"In the Devonian period, how could there be a civilization, let alone a human being. Dracula had a look of believing you on his face, and said disdainfully: "Please, can you find a decent reason to climb relatives?"
Chu Yu glared at Dracula and motioned for the latter to shut up.
Chu Yu couldn't imagine what the old emperor's purpose was in making up this nonsense, because there was no point in pulling this egg.
But again, as Dracula said, there really wasn't any intelligent civilization in the Devonian.
Looking at the old emperor, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Please forgive us for being unheard, according to the historical records of the surface world, the Devonian did not burst out any sparks of wisdom and civilization. ”
"Historical records!" The old emperor laughed: "No one has witnessed history, who can prove that this is history, since it can't prove history, how can it be recorded?"
Chu Yu was speechless.
Don't say it, what this old man said is not unreasonable.
After all, no one has ever been to the Devonian, and they all speculate about the Devonian period from fossils.
Dracula rolled her eyes and asked, "As far as I know, your so-called imperial civilization has been wiped out more than a hundred times, so how do you record history, how can you be sure that you are surface humans, and how can you be sure that you were banished to the ground?"
Chu Yu didn't say anything.
What Dracula said was what he wanted to ask, but he had a lot of other questions.
Yan Snake didn't have any interest in this kind of thing, he didn't care where the old emperor's race came from, he just thought about how to make the old emperor not have it, of course, if it was a fight for a while.
The old emperor glanced at Dracula, who was full of hostility between his words, and was not angry, but said lightly: "In the Devonian era, that is, before we were banished to the underground, our civilization has long surpassed you, surpassed your surface civilization, and now the surface civilization. ”
The old emperor did not refute Dracula, but only narrated, giving the impression that he was narrating a fact, a real fact.
Chu Yu's face was complicated.
If the old emperor didn't talk nonsense, then this group of people was not only born in the Devonian period, but also the level of civilization at that time surpassed that of the current surface world?
This news is no less than a thunderstorm on the ground, and if this is the case, then could this group of people be the ancestors of the surface humans?
Or was it that long before the birth of mankind, there were even more ancient humans living in the surface world?
Dracula smiled and asked, "Since you are so powerful, what caused your demise, natural disasters, and human harm?"
"Natural disasters caused by man-made disasters. The old emperor's tone slowly became heavy, and he began to explain their "history" and "origin".
"Before the banishment, our population continued to concentrate in the cities of the sea, and the population gradually exceeded the critical point, in order to get effective control measures, our civilization entered the brink of collapse, the most terrible is that people consume resources without control, destroying resources, land resources, sea resources. ”
Chu Yu shrugged.
History is so similar, and the surface humans are coming to this point.
The old emperor's eyes also kept gathering on Chu Yu's face, and continued: "Resources are only one of them, medical treatment cannot be guaranteed, the most serious is the food supply, for this reason, the biologists of the empire have found a way to solve the food supply, and the only way, using biological and engineering technology, they have created an offering device. ”
"Offering device?" Chu Yu frowned and interrupted, "You can't be talking about the Great Tree Tentacle Spirit, right?"
"Big Tree Tentacle Essence?" The old Yellow Emperor was slightly stunned, and then suddenly laughed: "Yes, the surface language is very interesting, and your description is very accurate, it is the Big Tree Tentacle Essence, this word is very accurate." ”
Chu Yu touched his nose and sneered.
Bai Yue has always scoffed at the fact that he was nicknamed an unknown species, but he didn't expect to receive the highest affirmation from other national leaders today, but unfortunately he didn't record it just now.
The old emperor restrained his smile: "Decomposing the corpse through the big tree tentacle essence and turning it into food is the only way to solve the lack of food, corpses, corpses of the same kind." ”
Chu Yu's pupils shrank: "The earliest decomposition of the offering device was not a deformed monster, but a human corpse?"
"Yes, it's terrible, right, it's horrific to murder your own people, to turn them into corpses, and it's we who have found this method and practiced it, in order to survive, our ancestors' actions send chills down our spine, maybe that's why we're banished. ”
The old emperor continued with an inexplicable face: "The poor, the homeless, the disabled, the sick, these are all sources of food, maybe this method is too cruel, after eating this special thing, human beings gradually appeared disease, and the disease continued to gain a strong ability to infect and spread, the development of the virus was beyond the control of human society and those in power, and finally, the end came, perhaps the deformity began to appear at that time." ”
"Wait. Chu Yu interrupted: "Isn't the deformed monster an underground creature?"
"There are no indigenous creatures in the underworld, and the roots of everything come from the surface. The old emperor said with a smile: "The surface and the underground should not be distinguished, just like the territories of different countries in the surface world. ”
