Chapter Ninety-Four: Totem Worship
"Oh? "True Dragon Formula"? And such a thing? Dong Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and said.
"Well," Zhao Yunfei nodded and said, "I'll recite it for you......"
Dong Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't memorize it yet, aren't those martial arts cheats very secret?" lest anyone else know......"
Zhao Yunfei said seriously: "I think it's nonsense in martial arts novels, if something is beneficial to people, it should be known to more people, just like a village, if only one family is rich, and the other households are all poor and begging, do you think this rich family can live at ease?" ”
Dong Lin couldn't help but nodded, extremely impressed by Zhao Yunfei's mind and opinions, and said with a smile: "Where did the words 'fight local tyrants and divide the land' come from?" ”
Zhao Yunfei smiled, knowing that Dong Lin understood what he meant, and then recited the "True Dragon Formula" from beginning to end.
Dong Lin listened carefully and said, "After listening to your recitation, I am now a little interested in this "True Dragon Formula"!" ”
Zhao Yunfei touched his chin and said, "Do you also think that the True Dragon Recipe makes sense?" ”
Dong Lin nodded and said, "Thinking of electric eels, what the "True Dragon Jue" says does have a certain logic. ”
Zhao Yunfei hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it......"
Dong Lin said: "What if' Dragon', really like the electric eel, the body can emit powerful electricity, then many of the strange things in the myth and legend of the dragon have a reasonable explanation, for example, fire-breathing, electricity can produce heat, breaking through the air can produce arc sparks, electricity can also produce magnetic fields, this you should be able to learn quickly in physics class, and the magnetic field is the same sex repulsion, opposites attract, maglev trains and aircraft carriers on the electromagnetic catapult, may be this principle, if the dragon can use the magnetic field generated by the current, it seems that it can fly to the air! ”
Zhao Yunfei nodded as if he didn't understand.
Dong Lin said: "I think about it now, the totems worshipped by many nations in the world are real objects, so it seems that the totems of our Chinese nation may also have existed." ”
About totem worship, Zhao Yunfei has some understanding in the process of reading, knowing that the countries and nations in the world have eagles as totems, bears as totems, elephants as totems, and even cobras as totems, although these worshiped totems are varied, but it is true that as Dong Lin said, most of them are species that exist, or have a great relationship with the species that exist, only the "dragon" totem of the Chinese nation is completely deified, and through the "True Dragon Jue", the dragon does not seem to be so mysterious, Could it really have ever existed? Is it really like an electric eel, but because it is electrified, it is deified by ignorant primitives and worshipped as a totem?
In this way, it is indeed possible!
Electric eels can be electrified, dragons, why not? Otherwise, how can those abilities of the dragon be explained?
Zhao Yunfei nodded slowly, and then asked another question: "Do you say that it is possible to record the events of ancient times in words before there are no words?" ”
Dong Lin will not feel strange when she hears Zhao Yunfei ask any strange questions now, and she was about to answer, but she heard Zhao Yunfei say: "That's the case, I have an ancestral belt at home, a few days ago I accidentally found the handwriting engraved in the mezzanine of the belt, I extended those handwriting on the paper, in addition to the "True Dragon Jue", there is also a long poem. Zhao Yunfei said slowly.
Dong Lin listened to Zhao Yunfei speak in such detail, knew that he trusted himself very much, and said, "You recite it again, I'll listen to it!" ”
Zhao Yunfei recited slowly: "The universe is desolate, the stars are like cattle and sheep, hold my long knife, guard my pasture; In the east of the Yinghai Sea, the red dragon soars, wielding my long knife, slaying demons and dragons; The dragon is covered with armor scales, and the sword is difficult to invade, and it goes straight into the dragon's mouth and stabs its heart; The red dragon is wounded, the scales are flying, looking for its traces, the dragon is dying"
Dong Lin listened carefully, and when she listened to the whole poem, she frowned slightly and asked, "What does the ancestral belt you said look like?" ”
Zhao Yunfei patted his waist and said, "It's on my waist!" ”
"Lift your clothes and I'll see." Dong Lin said.
Zhao Yunfei didn't think much about it, and lifted the corner of the little white coat, revealing his belt, and he was also wearing a gray short-sleeved vest inside.
Dong Lin lifted the skirt with one hand, squatted down, and watched carefully close to the belt, only to see that the belt was relatively wide and thick, the whole body was black and shiny, faintly dark red, and he reached out and touched it, the tentacles had a trace of coolness, and the metal clip of the belt was also jet black.
Zhao Yunfei was a little embarrassed by Dong Lin's posture, but fortunately, Dong Lin didn't squat for too long, stood up, brushed his long skirt, and asked, "What material is this belt made of?" ”
"Even my grandfather couldn't tell me back then, the belt was double-layered, and those words were engraved on the mezzanine inside." Zhao Yunfei replied.
Dong Lin pinched his chin and frowned for a moment of contemplation, and said: "The material of this belt is very special, maybe it can be worth some money, and the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, so don't tell others." ”
Zhao Yunfei nodded cautiously.
"This long poem is a good poem in terms of artistic conception, connotation, rhyme, battle, and neatness, a bit like the 'Jian'an Feng Gu' during the Three Kingdoms period, from the meaning expressed in the long poem, combined with the legend of your village and this belt, the dragon thing is very likely to be true, and the hero who slays the dragon may be your ancestor." Dong Lin said while thinking.
Zhao Yunfei nodded and continued to ask: "The first sentence of the long poem is 'Cosmic Flood', at that time, words should not have appeared, and words have not been invented, so how can they be engraved in the belt?" Isn't that a contradiction? ”
Dong Lin walked along, mobilizing all his knowledge reserves in his mind to think of a reasonable explanation.
There are many possibilities in this, and there is a debate in the academic circles that there are scholars who believe that our earth has had many civilizations in its long history, that many civilizations have been destroyed one after another, that there is now our civilization, and that in the future, our civilization may also be destroyed - could this poem be the history of the previous civilization? There is also a possibility that the heroic deeds of antiquity were passed down by word of mouth, and when the writing appeared, later generations used words to sort out and record these legends, just like the ancient Greek "Homeric Epic", which was first narrated by the ancient Greek troubadour, and now through the research of the historical community, many of the stories in the "Homeric Epic" are true. ”
Zhao Yunfei nodded, and then asked: "In the second half of the poem, 'The red dragon has meat, I eat it myself, leave my descendants behind, and uphold my will; What does it mean that the red dragon is drowning in pulp, its color is golden, and my descendants are bathed like soup? ”
