Chapter 65: The Dark Ages and a Strange Family History
"That's right.....," I paused, "So, you like to read?!" β
"Uh-huh! I like to read..... Ai Yixia, you may not know much, my family is actually a 'martial arts' family, according to my father, the foundation of my family is the military world, so all the juniors in the family have to start exercising according to the special training method from an early age, this special training is very painful, many of my playmates when I was a child died in training, scrapped...... They don't train us to treat us as human beings at all, and even our parents don't feel sorry......"
"How so?!" I was terrified to hear it, there will still be such a barbaric and crazy family in this world today, and there will be such cold-blooded and cruel parents? How does this sound like something that would have happened a long time ago in the era of the law of the jungle, right?!
"How could it not?! That's how I got here..... That family..... It's always been an elite ....."
β......β
If someone else comes to talk to me about this kind of thing, then I definitely don't believe it, I think it must be nonsense, but this is what Xiao Fang said, if he is a waste person with no ability, then his words will not be convincing, but he does have that ability.....
"In fact, this method of exercising people has never been lost..... Well, do you know how martial arts were born a long time ago?! β
I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "War?!" β
"Well, that's right, martial arts were born out of war..... This history is very long, probably thousands of years ago, when the Chinese civilization had just originated, and the farming technology had not yet been invented by the ancestors. Tribe', a tribe is a country, but often only a few dozen people are a country, at that time food is a particularly precious thing, a tribe of people want to survive without starvation must go to grab other tribes of food to eat, dozens of people to fight a war, then individual strength is very important, so people will desperately use all kinds of cruel means to develop the potential of the body, at that time people were still particularly superstitious, thinking that this way of exercise can make people become ' Gods and ghosts are generally powerful, and the oldest murderous fighting techniques were born under this circumstance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
He told me eloquently, leading my thoughts to that ancient era, when the ancestor of China, the Yellow Emperor Yandi Chiyou, had not yet been born, dozens of people were a country, hundreds of countries waged wars in the land of China in order to grab some food, a tribe was killed, the people of the surviving tribe ate the food of the extinct tribe and survived, and then waited for tomorrow to be defeated by the new tribe, and then eat up the food.....
What a barbaric and bloody time......
"Ai Yixia, I also studied history when I was in the family, and the history of the outside is very different, the history of the outside world tells about the Shennong clan tasting herbs to invent farming, but in the history I learned, this tribal civilization ended with the birth of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, because in fact, it was Xuanyuan who invented the farming technology that changed the civilization, so that the grain production increased greatly, and all the tribes did not have to struggle on the edge of life and death, so in the end, all the tribes returned to their hearts, and all tribes worshiped Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of China..... The era of Chinese civilization has just begun. β
"But the sad thing is that the technology of brutally developing the body for the sake of war was not lost because of everyone's wealth, people no longer worry about eating and drinking and then the war began, this time not to compete for food, but to expand the land, the people under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor fought all the way from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, all the indigenous people along the way were all wiped out or surrendered, the original land of China was expanded to the first in the world at that time, after the unification of the East, it was too cold to go north, the ocean to the south, and the desert and mountains to the west, Therefore, the Yellow Emperor stopped the pace of expansion and turned to the development of domestic civilization, when the Xuanyuan clan killed a group of founding ministers, but one person escaped, that person was one of the Yellow Emperor's subordinates at that time, a monk, called Wu Xu. β
Hearing this, I was shocked, I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing, after so many years, who will delve into history? But this kind of thing is still very powerful. And logically speaking, although the history told by Xiao Fang is very different from the history of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors that I know, it is also completely logical and reasonable.
"And my family, it is said that this Wu Xu has been passed down from generation to generation, this person has retained many techniques in history, the most precious is the kind of inhuman method of exercising the human body, it is said that the selection of elites in this method is also the reason why our family can survive in such a long history."
I nodded, and there was some credibility in that, because in the minds of most people in ancient times they were very fond of force, and in ancient times a country without force had no deterrent power (and it is the same today). Therefore, if this family uses this method to improve the strength of the family members, it is indeed possible to survive in the cruel ancient times across thousands of years of history.
"But around 1890, the family split ....."
"Huh?! Why? "I've been drawn to his story and want to find out about it now.
"Or because of the war, at that time, some of the family members were officers in the Qing Dynasty, and the foreigners' cannons almost destroyed the core of the family, and at that time, many people in the family began to realize that the times were about to change, and the force that we have admired for thousands of years has been completely lost to the wisdom and technology that has risen in the new era."
I nodded again, indeed, no matter how powerful a person is, even if you can practice hard kung fu with bare hands and gravel for decades, you will still burp back to the West with a single gun, now is no longer the era of winning by numbers, even if a little kid has a nuclear bomb detonator in his hand, he can still directly destroy an army.
"So the family has been divided since then, one group of people still advocate force, and the other group of people began to advocate science and technology, but the training of juniors is still in that ancient way, this has not changed, only the children who have been trained have the right to choose the direction of the future, continue to learn martial arts and join the army in the future, or learn knowledge......"
