Chapter 582: The Inferior Roots of Life Are the Same (Part I)

Riding on Yoshi's back, shuttling quickly through the mountains, since there was no danger in this journey, and there was nothing worth calculating, Ling Mo's state of mind was relatively relaxed, and he was finally able to calm down and enjoy the scenery along the Clam Ming Mountain Range.

In all fairness, the Clam Ming Mountains are indeed a good place, the climate is neither hot nor cold, the wind is not small, and now the climate is the turn of winter and spring, and the whole mountain range is still verdant and full of vitality.

The size of the "forest window" is just right, so that trees of different heights and sizes can be assigned some sunlight, and this must be a situation formed after a long period of struggle with each other;

Although there are fallen leaves on the ground, there is no situation where the fallen leaves are stacked like the Warcraft Rainforest, and you can step on half a meter with one foot, and the foot feeling of the fallen leaves here is closer to the rough carpet, which is already considered superb. You can't ask the real-world grass to be "as soft as a light quilt" as described in the book, because grass and leaves have grown as tough and hard as possible for hundreds of millions of years, and have been used to wear down the teeth of herbivorous monsters, so that they can die early and become their own nourishment;

The only difference between here and other mountains and forests is the difference in animals, after so many years of evolution, it stands to reason that mammalian monsters should occupy an absolute dominance in the forest environment, but here is different, there are frogs of all sizes, toads, lizards, long snakes, dinosaurs, dragons, there are very few hairy species, occasionally see one or two groups, it can also be clearly seen that they are very weak, should be located at the bottom of the food chain, in a lower ecological niche.

How so...... It can only be said that it is worthy of being called the "Clam Ming Mountain Range", there are giant frogs several meters high not far away, Ling Mo even saw that there were frogs as big as a hill closing their eyes to recuperate (similar to the kind that Akua encountered), and their demeanor was peaceful and majestic, quite a momentum of "I don't speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound".

Along the way, I passed by several frog settlements, all of which were like houses, including the genus of Liangtian Meichi Mulberry Bamboo, which were obviously elite frogs with intelligence. But Yoshi didn't stop, just kept running towards the depths of the mountain. The deeper you go, the better the road is built, from the animal road to the dirt road to the cement road, the civilization of the frog settlements on both sides of the road is getting higher and higher, from the cave to the thatched hut to the house, and even a small building with several floors faintly appears!

At the beginning, Yoshi also said a few words to Ling Mo in a flattering manner, constantly explaining the surrounding scenery:

For example, the mountain in the distance, which looks like a toad, has a hole in the middle of the mountain, and happens to be in the position where the female should be, so it is called the pin (four sounds) cave mountain, which is said to be the mother goddess of the frog clan;

Another example is that there is a river in the mountains, the legend says that the frog god godmother and the heavenly demon Pixun hold eggs here, and a hug is a thousand years, and this river is the liquid of the battle between the god and the heavenly demon;

Another example is a large stone, with a smooth surface and clear lines, like a standing toad with a hat and a cloak, and a large snake with eight heads at its feet. On this stone, the traces of frog carving are mixed with the traces of erosion of time, giving people a sense of simplicity and vigor.

Yoshi said that this stone depicts the first king of their frog clan, and legend has it that the first king was once instructed by the legendary fairy frog of Miaomu Mountain, and the monarchy was divinely endowed, relying on the power given by the gods, he defeated the Yaqi snake that was ravaging the frog clan at that time, and the frog clan was at peace, so he was proclaimed king by the frog children and frog grandchildren;

For example, there are two ancient trees, the branches are twisted and twisted like two muscular clams, and they look at each other with a very happy expression, Yoshi said that these are the two major gods of their frog clan, called Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Er Ben, and the history is older than the first king.

Legend has it that at the end of each year, there will be an eight-headed giant snake attacking, eating countless frog people, frog children and grandchildren suffer deeply, and finally one day the frog clan gave birth to these two warriors, they beat away the eight-headed giant snake, was favored by the fairy frog, and received the blessing of Miaomu Mountain. Every Chinese New Year, every family has to stick these two door gods on their doors, so that when the big snake comes, they will be scared away when they see the two brothers, and they will not dare to attack the tribe again.

Like the above kind of story, Yao Xilin always told more than a dozen, all in all, nothing more than some frog legends, myths and the like, although the story is very simple, a bunch of loopholes, the logic is not self-consistent, full of a lot of conjecture, fantasy and fabrication. But Ling Mo still listened very carefully, because he knew very clearly in his heart that these stories seemed ridiculous, but they were a landmark event for the frog clan to move from barbarism to civilization.

In the beginning, humans were no different from other species, and there were far more than humans who were accustomed to social division of labor and group cooperation, such as wolves, lions, cows and horses. However, the model of group cooperation soon encountered a bottleneck, that is, when there are many members of the group, there is no way to communicate with each other, let alone combine everyone's strength to do great things.

The other species have stopped here, and the size of the group is still a little bit for hundreds of millions of years, and if there are a few more members, they will not be able to maintain their rule, and they will automatically separate. And people are the only exception, not only are they not separated, but the population is getting bigger and bigger, and the group strength is getting stronger and stronger, just because humans have one more ability than other monsters, that is, humans can brag...... Oh no, it's humans who tell stories.

Don't underestimate this "storytelling" ability, when everyone has no physical strength after building the villain at night, and there is nothing to do when they sit together, then the person who is good at making up stories will climb to a high place and start telling stories to others.

In this way, as long as a group of people believe in the same story, they will have "something in common" and can communicate, and the conflicts between them will be greatly reduced, and the initial prototype of the "nation" will be formed. Eventually, when there are enough stories and the content of the stories is logical and self-consistent, civilization is born.

If you listen carefully, you can find that there are many complex elements in Yoshi's story, including the origin of the frog clan, the gods of the frog clan, the interaction between the gods of the frog clan and the frog people, and even the customs of "divine authority of the monarch" and "New Year" have appeared.

These primitive and crude things can better reflect how a race has become more civilized step by step, and it can also reflect the truth that human beings entered civilization back then, not only Ling Mo listened attentively, but there were also a large number of sociologists in the live broadcast room who listened to it like a treasure and were crazy, with these primitive frog clan proofs, many sociological theories can be proved or falsified, which is of great significance.

Unfortunately, as Yoshi spoke, his interest became lower and lower, and his voice became quieter, until he simply closed his mouth completely and fell completely silent. If you look closely, you will find that it is very nervous and uneasy at this time, and Ling Mo, who is sitting on its back, can feel that its body is trembling slightly.

Ling Mo thought about it for a while, and then he understood Yaoxi's mentality, and couldn't help but smile:

"What are you...... Feel uneasy about your betrayal? As the saying goes, the frog goes high and the water flows low, and your behavior is not betrayal at all. Don't worry, your Great Elder won't do anything to you, take a step back, even if it won't forgive you, what if it doesn't have me, I will definitely "help" it to understand you!"

Yoshi shook his head, turned around and smiled reluctantly, and said:

"No, master, you have misunderstood, and there is no trace of my uneasiness that originates from the Great Elder.

With the wisdom and wisdom of the Great Elder, he will certainly not have any misunderstanding of my behavior, let alone blame me for this little thing. I'm worried, I'm worried...... How am I going to deal with my former relatives and friends, as well as my friends......

I don't know how to explain it to them, but some of them must think I'm a traitor, and probably will speak ill of me...... In fact, after all, I don't know now, whether those friends know my behavior, and I don't know what attitude I should use to face them......

Sorry master, my emotions are getting a little out of control. Trust me, I'll adjust soon......"

"It's okay, it's normal for people to be afraid that their disgraceful things will be known by those around them. ”

Ling Mo comforted Yaoxi, and then said meaningfully:

"But Yoshi, I must remind you that with the experience of human society, whether it is a crime or a murder, you can not be held accountable after the fact, not because the murder method is subtle and evades the monitoring of the magic net, but because there is a hand covering the monitoring.

You have already broken away from the clan in a substantial sense, do you think your Great Elder will still help you "cover the camera"?"

Yoshi was silent for a moment, slowly revealing a look of relief, he nodded vigorously, and said:

"Master, I understand! Are you telling me to be brave enough to face it? There are few things in this world that have the best of both worlds, and I have chosen this shortcut myself, if I am still afraid that others will criticize and abuse me, wouldn't I be a bitch and set up a memorial arch?

If we don't even dare to face this little thing, then how can we talk about breaking through the shackles of the soul and surpassing our own limits?

"It's good to understand that. To be honest, listening to what you just said, I think you think too much, and you think of yourself too much.

Well...... Have you ever seen a Terran movie?"

Seeing Yaoxi nodded, Ling Mo continued:

In the movie, when the protagonist encounters a big event, no matter whether he is happy, excited, sad, or sad, there will always be corresponding music to "set off the atmosphere", because he is the center of that world.

And in real life, no matter how important life events you encounter, what kind of life difficulties you have encountered or passed, no one will score music for you.

People don't even know what you've been through, and they don't care if they do. You are only the center of your own world, and to any other living being, you are just an embellishment to their lives, an after-dinner conversation, and even if you pay attention to it, you will soon be forgotten.

You are constantly struggling with what other people's attitude towards you and what kind of eyes they will look at you; have you ever thought that perhaps, others are not "looking" at all?

Being enlightened by Ling Mo like this, Yaoxi's spirit was lifted, and the speed under his feet suddenly became much lighter, and he felt a little like flying in the mountains and forests. Although this kind of movement and body control skills were still very crude in Ling Mo's opinion, Ling Mo had never had a serious mount in the Noahfa Continent for so many years, and he had never experienced this feeling much, and he was still a little novel for a while, but he didn't dislike it much.

Soon, when I turned around the foot of a mountain and came to a terrain of "two mountains and one ditch", the scenery in front of me suddenly shook up:

There, there is a huge power station!

The power station covers an area of thousands of acres, and on the open-air fuel plant, large piles of ore are piled up into "small black mountains"; There are more than a dozen chimneys around, spewing white smoke outward; the three super-thick condensing towers are very high, only a few hundred meters higher than the mountains on both sides, and they are distributed in a zigzag shape with each other; and then to the outside, there is a complex energy pipe network like a nervous system, entangled with each other, and distributed outward layer after layer, with Ling Mo's perception, it is natural to feel that these pipelines contain extremely rich electrical energy, which is probably not inferior to the power generation of a medium-sized human country!

At this time, Ling Mo and Yaoxi were facing the main gate of this huge power station! Just like the rough style of the factory, several thick metal beams and columns were welded together very casually, and across the horizontal was a neatly cut inverted trapezoidal iron material, and four ancient characters of dragons flying and phoenixes were engraved on the ladder surface:

Frog Grid!

Although he was no longer a member of the Frog Clan, Yoshi still introduced to Ling Mo with an extremely proud tone:

"This power plant is the crystallization of our clan's wisdom! With the help of the inexhaustible obsidian fragments under the Clam Ming Mountain Range, its power generation is very huge, and its daily power is enough to rank in the top twenty of your human power plants! If you don't consider the permanent damage to the power plant, the energy power that bursts out is enough to rank in the top eight of your human power plants!"

Hearing this kind of exaggerated data, even if Ling Mo didn't understand it very well, he could know how powerful it was to achieve this achievement, and he gave a face-saving admiration, and then asked:

"What's next, where are we going to find your Great Elder?"

Yoshi hesitated for a moment, turned his head, and said to Ling Mo with a pleading look:

"Master, I have a small request:

Can I go in alone and report to the Great Elder?

Although I know that I have brought you here to report again, it is just my self-consolation, but I still want to go through this process, but ...... Is that okay?"

Ling Mo sneered:

"Of course you can, but as far as I guess, even if ordinary frog people don't know, your higher-ups must know about you following me, and even if the Great Elder doesn't mind, it's still very likely that they've already listed you as an undesirable frog, how are you going to get in?"

"So, you agree?!...... Thank you so much host!"

Yoshi exclaimed in surprise, and then said very firmly:

"I have a very good friend in my own clan, we have played since we were children, and we have had a lifelong friendship!

And in the past, its family was very sad, my father took great care of its family before his death, and it can be said that he raised it as half a son!

As long as it's alive, I'll say hello, whether it's for our friendship or my dad's kindness, it will definitely help me!"
