Chapter Seventy-Three: Biqing's Travels (1)
The story begins 5,000 years ago.
At that time, I had just crossed over, and I didn't know what kind of era I was living in.
I just remember that the book says that this is an ignorant tribal era.
But what about the facts?
The truth is that there are hangers everywhere here!
They go up to the heavens and into the earth, manipulate the five elements, change their shapes, and do anything!
The more powerful hangers are revered as gods.
The weaker hangers were also made tribal leaders.
I started out in a small tribe, and after living there for a week, I had mastered the ability to transform the virtual into the real.
It's not because of how talented I am.
It's that this era is full of free energy.
Its concentration is thousands of times higher than that of later generations!
I also benefited from this, and quickly mastered the ability to blur.
Then one day, a man in the tribe threw me a fish and tried to take possession of me.
You know, I, a modern person, have traveled back to antiquity, how could I possibly fall in love with that kind of hairy and blood-drinking barbarian?
So in the rebellion, I exposed my ability and killed him back.
I was trying to run away because I killed someone.
In my mind, murder is a crime.
But the people of that tribe worshipped me as a goddess and worshipped me.
In the beginning, my life was pretty good.
What we eat and drink every day is carefully arranged.
But then there was a plague in the tribe, and people began to beg me to be able to heal them.
But I'm not studying medicine, so where can I see a doctor and save people?
So I told them to wash their hands frequently, pay attention to isolation, pay attention to hygiene, and told them that everything used by patients must be burned.
And say it's science......
They listened in doubt, but none of them did.
And the plague ended up taking many lives.
Because of this, those who had revered me, worshipped me, and believed in me expelled me from the tribe one night with torches and weapons.
They say I'm a witch.
It is because of my existence that the disease comes.
I had to retort, but they didn't listen.
I also thought about resisting, but then I thought about it and gave up.
After all, it's their home, and I'm just a passerby.
So there's no need to dwell on them.
Then I started wandering.
Wandering from one tribe to another.
Each tribe will not stay for more than ten years.
Because I found out thatβ
I don't seem to age and my looks don't age over time.
At first, I was excited and felt like it was the best news I've ever gotten since I crossed over.
But the longer I lived, the more tired I became of the present.
Ten years will be happy.
A hundred years of immortality will be exciting.
But after more than 300 years, people will get tired of it.
You knowβ
In ancient times, there was no technology, there was no civilization, we ate bloody flesh, lived in damp and dark houses, and we were disgraced all day long, and even everyone would emit a vomiting stench.
No one pursues a material life or a spiritual life.
Because life itself is a very difficult thing.
These ancients were accustomed to this kind of life, but I couldn't.
I can't stand this boring life day in and day out.
Because I'm a modern man at heart.
Even after a long period of nurturing, I still can't forget how delicate my life was......
At that time, for the first time, I had the idea of ending myself.
But I didn't dare......
I am afraid of death, I am afraid of bloodshed.
As much as I wanted to end it all, deep down in my heart, there was always a voice telling me, "It's better to die than to live." β
This state of affairs has been going on for a long time.
It wasn't until I met Chiyou that I was able to change.
Remember it was summer.
I started wandering again, I didn't know where I was going, I just kept going in a certain direction.
Drink water from the stream when you are thirsty.
Eat wild fruits when you are hungry.
Occasionally, I catch a rabbit and beat my teeth, but because there is no condiment, I always vomit after taking a bite.
Then I came to a forest, and just as I was taking a nap in the trees, Chiyou appeared.
At that time, Chiyou was tall, very athletic, with a bright smile and a healthy complexion of wheat color, but in fact, he was only 13 years old and was only a child.
He and his people went out hunting, but they were separated from them because they were chasing a wild boar.
That's why I met me resting in the trees.
But let's be honest β
If I had known what was going to happen, I would have given him two wild boars and rerouted to another tribe.
Maybe then my life will be different.
β¦β¦
"The life of a humanoid hanger is only a hundred years, why can you live that long?"
Taking advantage of Biqing's drinking water, Natsuki asked the doubts in his heart.
"Do you know why the hanger died?"
Bi Qing put down the teacup and asked rhetorically.
Natsuki pondered for two seconds and said, "Because the world is evolving and renewing, and if the code of the hanger does not keep up with the speed of the world's update in time, it will die......"
"That's right." Bi Qing nodded and said: "My code is from 2018, and the world of that era has just begun, and I am five thousand years ahead of this world." β
"I see...... Natsuki paused for a moment and asked, "Was there really a lot of hangers at that time?" β
"That's a lot! What do you think the legendary gods and demons are? Their prototypes are all powerful hangers back then! Biqing said: "The Pangu of Open Heaven is the creator of the game, and Nuwa of Mending Heaven is actually the second-generation firewall...... And so on and so forth, and even the legend of gluttony is modeled after me. β
"Gluttony?"
Natsuki said in astonishment.
"That's right...... Listen to me, and when you hear the rest of the story, you'll know how I changed from an ordinary ghost hanger to a gluttonous hanger. β
Bi Qing sighed and continued to speak.
β¦β¦
At that time, Chiyou was carrying a wild boar taller than him and standing under the tree.
The sun shone on his body, like wearing a golden battle suit.
He looked at me, I looked at him.
Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, are you a fairy?" β
This kid has such a sweet mouth.
Thinking about it, I said, "That's right, my sister is a fairy." β
"What a pity...... If my sister were a fairy, then I wouldn't be able to carry you home as a wife. The boy said with some distress.
I jumped down and landed in front of him, saying, "Kid, what tribe are you from?" β
"Jiuli's."
"It's still a big tribe, but with such a big tribe, how can you let a child go out hunting?"
"I got lost myself."
"Poof......
"My sister looks better when she laughs!"
"Really?"
"Aang!"
I looked at this silly boy, and was rendered by his happiness, and laughed along.
