Chapter 340: Informed
Although Mo Ren basically uses violence to solve problems on weekdays, and even many uninformed people think that he is very cruel, in fact, Mo Ren still has a strong desire for knowledge.
If the beast is used as a metaphor, some people may compare Mo Ren to a cruel crocodile that only relies on his own strength to go on a rampage, but in fact, Mo Ren prefers to be a wolf-like creature, with a certain strength to carry out plans, and a certain amount of cunning and cruelty in it.
Therefore, Mo Ren actually attaches great importance to knowledge.
A long time ago, Mo Ren realized the importance of knowledge with the help of his mother.
Knowledge can improve one's strength to a certain extent, and when fighting, you can also have more attack methods to choose from, and you can even gain insight into the enemy's weaknesses to a certain extent.
But the more you know, the more you don't understand.
As Mo Ren's strength continued to grow, this problem began to become more and more obvious.
Now, Mo Ren has too many questions in his heart, and these questions are not only questions on the intellectual level, but also about the so-called truths that have been concealed.
For example, who is your father?
Why does the leader of the Crimson Holy See call herself the Child of Calamity?
Or to put it another way, what else is hidden in this world that you don't know?
Every time he thought of himself being kept in the dark, Mo Ren was upset, no matter how much he improved his strength, or tried hard to pursue the truth, there would always be more confusion waiting for him in front of him, as if there was never an end.
"You look a little irritable. β
The tone of the answerer did not change, but it clearly pointed out the problem in Mo Ren's heart: "The reason seems to be that you hate the unknown, right?"
"Almost. β
Mo Ren nodded, and then his eyes focused on the black book in the answerer's hand: "What do you want to tell me?"
"Something you may not have been very aware of before. β
The person who answered didn't sell it, but directly handed the book to Mo Ren.
ββ¦β¦β
Mo Ren didn't say anything, took the book and read it carefully.
After turning the first page, the words 'Records of Major Events in the Inner World' were written on the page, and Mo Ren just glanced at it in a hurry and then turned directly to the next page, and began to read it carefully page by page.
And it was from this page that some things that had never been known before were presented in front of Mo Ren.
These include the earliest speculations about the origins of the capable, as well as explanations of ancient rumors and rumors, which are so comprehensive and broad in scope that they are beyond the limits of what any organization can record today.
According to what is written in this book, the earliest origin of the Ables can be traced back to at least 5.5 million years ago, which means that the Ables may have existed at the beginning of the birth of humans, and the researchers of the Deep Green Courtyard have found some fossils of Australopithecus, that is, the bones of a genus of extinct hominids, and through the ability of the recorder, these Australopithecus have been transformed into a book of mysteries of the ancient world.
It is also in this book that the dark green courtyard finds clues about the capable.
This almost shattered many of the conjectures of modern scientists about evolution, because in this book made by Australopithecus, the people of the Deep Green Courtyard found many different species of ancient ape-man.
They differ only slightly in physical characteristics and all live together in colonies.
The ancient world was very dangerous, and there was basically no much conflict between these different races, everything should have been like this, but one day, a community suddenly grew, and almost in the blink of an eye, it destroyed several surrounding communities, and the way of destruction was very exaggerated.
Insect plagues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms, tornadoes, mudslides.
These communities were inexplicably devastated, and then after the catastrophe swept through them, they were wiped out by the community that suddenly grew.
The brain capacity and brain utilization rate of Australopithecus are far less than that of modern humans, so they also have a considerable degree of fear of this natural disaster, and because they are constantly exterminated by natural disasters, these Australopithecus people began to fear these natural disasters even more, and even gave birth to a series of primitive cultures, that is, the so-called murals, sacrifices, and wanted to avoid this catastrophic blow in a way that they could understand.
However, this did not avoid catastrophe, so the sacrifices began to evolve under fear, describing natural disasters as a monster more terrifying than any predator, i.e., mimicking a god-like concept.
This is probably the world's earliest model of a deity.
Soon, that suddenly growing colony wiped out many other Australopithecus colonies, and even some other terrible predators.
However, as the population of Australopithecus became less and less settled, eventually, this terrible disaster befell 'Coles'.
Incidentally, Coles is the book made by Deep Green Courtyard out of Australopithecus skulls, but because it is so old, despite the cooperation of the answerer, there are still some chaotic and fragmented memories in this book.
In one final sight, Coles witnessed a natural disaster, with winds carrying torrential rain and thunder sweeping across the region, the earthquake causing the caves where they had taken refuge to collapse, and when the remaining members escaped, they were either killed by the thunder or completely engulfed by the collapsed mudslide.
Coles was the last of its tribe to be swallowed up by the mudslide, and in its desperate struggle, it vaguely saw a strange figure in the sky, and then a large cloud of mud completely plunged it into darkness.
For Coles, this figure in the sky was fleeting, but after it was made into a book, this scene became an illustration in the book, so after some technical restoration, the people of the dark green courtyard made this blurred illustration clear, and it turned out that it was also an ancient ape-man flying in the sky.
It's just that compared to the ancient apes of the same period, this ancient ape appears to be taller, and at this moment it holds a bone staff polished from the leg bones of an unknown beast, and at the top of the bone staff is inlaid with a key that shimmers with strange brilliance.
Yes, it's a key.
ββ¦β¦β
After seeing this key, Mo Ren's brows furrowed slightly.
Although Mo Ren had already guessed the age of the underground palace, the fact that it was older than the entire history of mankind was still a bit surprising to him.
However, this is only the first thing recorded in this book, that is, the origin of the capable, and judging by the thickness of each page of this book, it is estimated that there are still many things waiting for you.
Thinking of this, Mo Ren did not choose to communicate directly with the answerer, but continued to read in silence.
After reading the first event, Mo Ren followed the table of contents and looked at the second event, which was the explanation of ancient rumors and rumors mentioned earlier.
There is a concept that Mo Ren has heard before, and that is a creature known as the Extinction Body.
According to the explanation given by the Dark Green Courtyard, the Annihilation is a terrible monster that causes the capable to be dominated or devoured by their own abilities due to some kind of accident, and finally derived from abilities and instincts.
There are also many different samples of this kind of monster in the dark green courtyard.,This kind of sample is basically used to study the difference between the extinction body and the ability.,The extinction body has two easily recognizable characteristics.,The first point is that you can quickly enhance your ability by completely eating other abilities.,The second point is that after becoming an extinction body.,The whole person's mind and personality will have extreme changes according to different abilities.,And the more extreme of them can't even keep the human form as it is.γ
Even in the dark green courtyard, it is impossible to completely understand why the extinction body can become stronger through those who can eat, but there is some speculation about the personality change, but the test report is too complicated, so I will not list it here for the time being.
And many of the rumors and rumors that were often heard in ancient times were also ghosts of the extinction body.
For example, a very famous ancient book of Zhiwei in ancient Tianxia, which was called absurd by many ancients and modern people, is very likely to be related to the extinction of the body.
In addition to some messy information, the Book of Mountains and Seas records ancient myths and legends including the sun, mending the sky, reclamation, water control, etc., as well as many strange minerals, plants, and exotic beasts and other legends, some people think that this is just the understanding and conjecture of the ancients on the unknown, but in fact this is very likely to be a real thing, just because of the continuous spread of rumors, these things may be somewhat exaggerated.
Take a few random examples, such as the strange beasts recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
The original translation probably means that on the top of the mountain, there is a beast that looks like a cow, but has sharp fur like a hedgehog on its body, this kind of thing is Qiqi, which can make a sound like a dog roaring and eat people.
However, after the in-depth analysis of the dark green courtyard, they suspected that this so-called strange thing was likely to be a mutant ability born in ancient times, and because of improper control, he became a perished body, and he may not be able to tell whether he needs to eat an ability or an ordinary person, so he eats when he sees people, and instinctively wants to continue to become stronger.
And what can prove that the argument of the dark green courtyard has a certain degree of convincing is also from another piece of information in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
According to the information recorded in the Beihai Neijing, Qiqi is a fierce beast that looks like a tiger, has huge wings on its back, likes to eat people, and likes to eat from the head of a man, and there are rumors that Qiqi likes to watch other people's fighting theories, specifically bites off the nose of the reasonable side, and captures the beast and sends it to the wicked...... This is completely different from what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Book of Western Mountains.
Except for the common characteristics in cannibalism, the rest is simply completely different.
Ancient people liked to use exaggerated techniques to describe things, so it is normal to exaggerate them after seeing them.
And in the same way, those so-called Taoist priests, immortals, ghosts, grandmasters, and even some rumored crooked ways in ancient times may also have an inseparable relationship with the able.
It's just that compared to the extinction body, they are all those who have not been devoured by the ability to be devoured in turn, considering the strangeness of the ancient system's ability, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated in this regard, after all, the ancient system can be said to be the only means that can make ordinary people transcendent, and the ancient system itself was first created by the ancients, although there may be many flaws and drawbacks, but there is no doubt that the ancients created a new genre.
Almost all those legends, myths, or some spirits and other sophistries that circulate in the folklore, almost more than 80% are made by the ability, and even the dark green courtyard has made a bold speculation, that is, Qin Shi Huang may have come into contact with some kind of immortality threshold, but because it involved the battle between other high-level abilities (in ancient times, it may be called immortals because of its strength), so he died in an accident, after all, no matter how prosperous the ancient country was, it could not withstand the madness of a fifth energy levelγ
This kind of rumors and legends between ancient times continued until the end of the Tianxia dynasties, and also throughout the Middle Ages in the entire Western world, and even expanded to the entire historical process.
From the so-called witches, black magic, and the Black Death, which exterminated a large number of people and ravaged almost all of Europe, it seems that there is the shadow of a capable person behind all major events, and even the Black Death itself is caused by a fifth-level extinction body that can become a rat-headed person, but because the dark green courtyard was busy solving more important matters at that time, it delayed the handling of this matter a little.
And the pattern is enlarged a little, and the history is transferred from Tianxia to other ancient civilizations, there are also clues about the ability.
Gilgamesh in ancient Babylonian mythology, according to the analysis and interpretation of the dark green courtyard, he is likely to be a ruler with power, and as for his best friend Enkidu, it is estimated that he is another capable person, which comes from the study of ancient books, but because it is too cumbersome, it will not be shown here for the time being.
