Chapter 50: The Truth
What is necessary for the development of human civilization?
Some people may answer strong leaders, the birth of words, enough natural resources, and so on, but when we really turn the page of history, the answer is actually in front of us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rivers, rivers that are long enough.
The four origins of human civilization, the Yellow River and the Jinjiang River in East Asia cultivated the Yanhuang tribe, the ancient India and the Ganges and the Indus River in Central Asia, the Euphrates and Tigris valleys in ancient Babylon in Europe, and Egypt and its Nile River in Africa, there are countless myths and legends.
Although it may seem bizarre, it is actually very understandable.
Human beings need to drink water, and a sufficiently stable water source is the basis for the formation of towns and villages, and this is only the premise of population concentration and social formation.
Humans need food, water attracts animals, fruit trees, forests, and the most primitive gatherers and hunters.
Further back, the water resources and fertilizers brought by the rivers are an important prerequisite for the development of agricultural civilization when the productivity is not developed enough.
When food and water are satisfied, it is possible to give birth to towns and cities, which are large and medium-sized population centers.
After satisfying the most basic living needs, rivers can also provide advantageous conditions including waterway transportation and reclamation with the development of society.
"What if overcrowding exceeds the limits of the town? Just let the redundant tribes move up and down with the river. ”
Open the map, along the long river, there are always piles of historical ancient cities and relics, they are the traces and halfway points of the development of civilization, and the new living space is like this.
Even though modern civilization has been freed from the constraints of natural conditions, the area around the river still has unique development advantages.
The waterworks draw water from the rivers and lakes as a source, and the transportation industry and heavy equipment manufacturing industry are inseparable from waterway transportation, and the industrial industry also needs water resources beyond ordinary people's understanding.
It can be said that although everyone is accustomed to it, rivers are still an advantageous condition for development.
"........ early records are basically a mixture of history and mythology, and some of the contents are too exaggerated, such as Pangu opening the sky, descendants shooting the sun, etc., which are difficult to take as historical facts. The history of Chinese civilization recognized by the world is almost the beginning of the Shang Dynasty in 1600 BC. ”
The emergence of writing also represents the end of the mythological era, history has replaced mythology, historical heroes have replaced the gods, the gods have withdrawn, and the age of mortals has come.
"After all, at that time, there were finally gold inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions, and they began to be written, and the credibility was much higher. And Dayu is said to be the founding king of the Xia Dynasty before the Shang Dynasty, about 2,000 BC, if the mythical story of Dayu's water control, if it really happened, it should be more than 4000 years ago, Chinese history has not begun to record things, the intersection of myth and history, the twilight of the gods......."
If these four dragons really complete the historical achievements of the wind and rain, I am afraid that all the inhabitants living in this land owe him a share, and even the entire civilization owes it to them.
The chaotic intelligence summary, especially the internal secrets of the association obtained from Li Nianjun, the most helpless answer was born.
"Let a man be locked in the ground, working day and night, without vacation, without overtime pay, without even pay, for four thousand years......... Okay, it's not human, but it's even more excessive, even if some transverse Bethune spirit serves other races to this extent, it's really too abnormal. ”
Li Nianjun didn't hide it, maybe it was not something that needed to be concealed in the first place, this had already been made public among the senior watchmen of the association, and there was not enough reason to drive these professional watchmen to act at all.
"From the beginning, the dragon was dead, and all it left behind was an empty shell of flesh."
Although I don't know what Emperor Xia Dayu did back then, he did succeed in separating the souls of the four dragons, and occupied the dragon's body with the soul of a subordinate sacrifice.
In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the Lu family's paper fighting technique in principle, both of which use foreign souls to occupy the newborn body, except that one takes the initiative to summon foreign martial spirits, and the other is taken away by outsiders, and even the only remaining self has become a vassal to maintain the physical instinct.
"Since the dragon can't make sacrifices, let people come."
Although I don't know what those people thought back then, after all, it was still the era before the oracle bone inscription, whether the four dragons took the initiative to sacrifice, or just the reuse of the corpse, can only be verified from the already many mutilated murals, and good and evil morality cannot be investigated, judging from the results, this is the case.
The human soul was stuffed into the dragon body, the first human pillar...... Human sacrifice was born, and judging from the records in the fragments, it was also a woman, and because of this, she was given the surname Zhu.
At the end of the myth of the monogram, people with surnames were all big nobles or royalty, which represented a inheritance of honor and duty, and the commoners who could get the surname were often the ancestors who did something great.
Looks like the problem is solved? But it's just getting started.
There is one point, but it is the basic common sense in the use of soul power, the soul and the body must match, and the two are interdependent before that body can exist.
It is not feasible for lonely souls and wild ghosts to forcibly occupy the flesh of others, and the body that cannot be integrated with the spirit and flesh is like a corpse, slow and sluggish, unable to be nourished by the soul, and rapidly decaying.
So, can the human soul be one with the body of the outer heavenly dragon?
The answer is obviously no, the original soul lasted only five years before it was destroyed, and then, through the improvement of "technology", this goal was finally achieved, the principle of which is similar to the human vaccine against the virus.
"Since we can't adapt the soul of a human to the body of a dragon, let's try a different way of thinking, we can put the soul of the dragon into the body of a person, let the soul of a half-human and half-dragon grow in the body of a person, and then let it return to the body of a dragon after it matures."
Dayu's soul power master, successfully put the dragon soul into the baby's body, and after it became an adult, it was reclassified into the dragon body, this time, it lasted for a hundred years!
They even gave him the glorious title of the Dragon Protector.
Then, a complete set of mechanics was passed down, and the dragon soul was regularly divided, allowing it to actively find the newborn baby and merge with it.
When the previous generation of "Dragon Protectors" is about to expire, the next Dragon Champion is almost finished cultivating and can be activated.
“…… It's like a battery, it's discarded after use, and then replaced with a new ........."
And due to the wear and tear of the dragon soul and dragon body over time, today's dragon protectors are also consumed faster, and 20 years is a relatively long time.
The longer the dragon protector lives, the stronger the soul, the longer it will be able to last.
In order to be more suitable for the needs of the dragon soul, it is also necessary to fix the flesh and blood provided to it, and the inexplicable wealth of the chosen family is also a compensation....... but due to the extremely series of effects of the previous war, there is a problem with the sacrifice.
First of all, the sacrificial family was destroyed in the war, and then in the chaos, although the replacement was successfully completed, the newborn dragon soul also successfully found a host, and then the caretaker went wrong, and the sudden rise of the association also caused the caretaker to change, and the new generation of dragon protectors disappeared in the repeated chaos.
"....... so, there is the so-called Dragon King's lost treasure, in fact, the Dragon King has lost the battery to continue his operation, and the lost ........ must be found."
Obviously, this is inhumane and moral, and when Lu Wu sorted out all the information, almost all the positions of all parties also came out.
Especially when Lu Wu mentioned that the sacrifice was given the surname Zhu, he also glanced at Zhu Qinglan vaguely, and her face instantly became ugly.
"Since the truth about the Dragon King's lost treasure is like this? So, what's the deal with that little dragon? ”
“…… It should be that the dragon king has reached the limit, and the next dragon soul was divided in advance to find the missing dragon master, so the group of guys was not looking for the little dragon at all, but the object that the little dragon was looking for (close to). ”
If it was really just looking for the little dragon, so many watchmen had already found it with all their might, and they were just repeatedly confirming whether the target that the little dragon was approaching was the dragon protector they were looking for.
The words landed, but there was silence on the speedboat, no one is a fool, Xiaolong took the initiative to find Lu Wu, since Lu Wu could not be a dragon master, then, naturally, it was because he had the breath of a dragon master.
Then, the little dragon appeared for the second time, and the object of its close relatives .......
"I, the Dragon Protector? Is Bambi looking for me again? ”
Zhu Qinglan pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief.
"It's impossible to know for sure, but it's very likely. Among the high-level of justice, there is a world-class prophet who should be much more powerful than the Golden City Lock Dragon Diagram. It's entirely possible that they will find the Dragon Protector before the Guild. ”
Lu Wu nodded silently, perhaps, this is the root cause of He Shuhua saying from the beginning that he was already in the whirlpool.
"Actually, there is a way to verify it, since Bambi has already been in contact with Sister Lan, if you are really its target, it will soon appear in front of us........."
The more Lu Wu spoke, the quieter he became, not because he had any doubts about his judgment, but because he ......
"Lu Wu, I've known you for so long, I really didn't notice that you actually ordered the crow's mouth talent?"
Thousand Shadows lit up the blue shadow in the water with a face full of disbelief.
"Bambi ......"
The figure that slowly floated up from the bottom of the river was not the cute little dragon.
Only this time, this cute little pet is a little different from the previous appearance.
"....... it, did you eat a little more, why did you gain so much weight all of a sudden?"
"....... Sister Lan, can you be nervous, no matter how much you eat, you can't get so big all of a sudden, this mouth, this tooth, it's bigger than our boat."
"I'll go, you're still chatting, abandon ship!"
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the huge crocodile's mouth closed, the speedboat turned from small biscuits to shreds, and a little blood floated on the river, like the bloody 1938.
