Chapter 134: Emperor Yan
Lu frowned and withdrew his hand. She looked at Li Zhen for a while and asked softly, "What are you talking about?" ”
"What do you think is a question for you that I haven't asked?" Li Zhen looked a little relieved, as if he had removed a large stone from his chest, "Why don't I feel strange - why can two chains bind you for nothing?" ”
"So I'd like to ask you right now - how do you look at these two chains, they are ordinary metal chains, and you can't break them for anything? Or maybe the wound on your foot has been trying to heal – why don't you just tear your ankle? ”
Lu stopped talking. She shook her feet, and the bronze chains rattled, but she didn't cry out in pain.
Her expression changed. It's no longer the slightly dazed and composed, but a little confused. She even brushed her hair and blinked: "How do you know that I ......?"
"Please, how could I not know the Dao?" Li Zhen spread out his hand, "The wound on your foot is so big, and you have been trying to heal since you became a human. It's dark and the visibility isn't high, but I'm not blind - you don't know that there's a lot of ...... under your skin."
"Dense little eyes?"
A lot of densely packed little eyes. They grew in the wound—rolling and wriggling in the fibers of the muscles, squeezing around as the muscles grew, and anyone shuddered at the sight.
Also includes Li Zhen.
Of course, this was not the first time he had seen such a scene. Chiyou has this thing in his muscles, and Adam has this thing in his muscles. To this day, he still hasn't figured out what this strange organ or tissue is for. However, when he saw such a sight in Lu's wounds, the sense of amazement that he had felt before because of her appearance disappeared in an instant.
Lu looked down into his wounds. Then he sighed softly, as if he was sorry for something.
And Li Zhen finally felt that he had become sober again. Right now, he could concentrate on thinking about something, instead of doing what he had just done—
Because of the other party's appearance, he has all kinds of strange thoughts.,Stir your head into a mess.。
It seems that he was "shocked" by that scene just now—it was like a lazy man who was reluctant to get up from his bed was splashed with a basin of cold water, and the 36,000 pores of his body were tightened together, jumping up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Now he had come to his senses again, and he finally realized how unusual he had been.
Actually, that feeling...... It only appears when the first successful confession to Kosson occurs.
He was affected by some kind of force. Maybe it's not an unbelievable ability. Human emotions are generated by the chemistry in the body, and some C-class abilities can also make others agitated or frustrated. It's just that the one in front of him seems to be particularly powerful. If in ancient times. This ability is called "charming", right?
And he has been freed from that influence. As a result, I noticed a small detail that I had overlooked before.
At the time, he didn't know that Lu had been communicating with the candle dragon for almost a year. So he deliberately released the aura of certain kinds so that this one knew that he was not an ordinary human. But the problem was that he could feel that Lu's mood had changed somehow at that time.
If a person on an isolated island suddenly encounters a person of the same kind. His response should be one of surprise, delight, and kindness. But this one is a species—when he knows all the past. The subtle emotions that manifest themselves are extremely complex. There is a sense of joy at reunion after a long absence. There was some guilt, and some subtle anger.
It's a pity that he was dazed at the time and didn't dig deeper.
Li Zhen realized that this Lu was not as simple as he seemed. She must have been hiding something. So he asked. And now Lu's performance confirmed his suspicion - albeit unbelievably unbelievable.
He shook his head and exclaimed, "So you and Chiyou have a child?" Oh, my God. ”
Because what he released was the breath of Chiyou that he had absorbed before.
And that "child" may be Adam.
When he was in Shennongjia, he felt that the species that appeared in front of the world for the first time might be a juvenile. It tries to resurrect Chiyu, and Chiyu looks almost exactly like it, and anyone would think that there must be some connection between the two.
Candle Dragon said that species reproduce by dividing, and the Yellow Emperor is different. So given that Chiyou also has a body structure close to that of a human...... Maybe it really has a descendant.
He felt that his inference was correct. And because of this inference, he thought of more things—the morphological differences between species are very large. Ying Long and Candle Dragon look more like "dragons". This statement is a bit awkward - perhaps "dragon" is their name in the first place, and the correct statement should be that "dragon" is more like them.
And Chiyou, Adam, Lu, and maybe a Yellow Emperor have to be added, which looks closer to humans. They should belong to the same family. And the current "descendants of Yan and Huang" should be their descendants, right?
It was only at that moment that he thought that Chiyou should have a wife worthy of his identity, and that wife was unlikely to be human, but must be a species. Because Adam looks exactly like Chiyou, he is not a half-breed in any way.
Now Lu showed that subtle emotion again.
That should not be the emotion that the daughter of the Yellow Emperor should show when facing her father's enemy, but more like the emotion of the wife of a husband who betrayed her husband for some reason.
As for the hostility......
Li Zhen said again: "You should know that I killed Chi You." There was another one before Chiyou - it looked like a child, and it was also killed. ”
After saying that, he watched the other party's reaction with a cold eye.
Lu lowered his arm, looked at Li Zhen quietly, and said in a low voice, "I know." They are my husband and children. You're right. ”
"You're different from what I think, you're smarter. You're the first person to come to your senses so quickly. ”
"The first person. Or is it a species? ”
A smile appeared on Lu's face: "Just to get used to your habits." I'm not going to do that to a human being. ”
"Hmm. You may feel that humans don't deserve to do this. Li Zhen showed a teasing expression on his face, "But do you know the truth?" Maybe you'll be fooled by the same as a species - of course, maybe you're acting like they're looking like they're looking at. However, as a human being, I would like to give you some advice. ”
"Those things in your body, maybe you don't feel any discomfort when you see them. But as a human being, it can be shocking and disgusting. That's your flaw. Otherwise, you'll be able to kill me in a little while when I'm going to get you that chain—what are you going to do against me?" ”
Lu shook his head slightly. Then she sat down on her knees, her legs leaning at her sides, still frowning slightly.
"It hurts." She gestured to the chain at her ankle, "It's not any bronze. There's that thing in there. ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed at the spear of Longinus in Li Zhen's hand: "So you can see that it can't be healed here." I just want you to open it and ...... I can get out of here alone. ”
Li Zhen frowned. He didn't expect such a reply. In fact, he had long been mentally prepared for the other party to get out of trouble and be majestic.
"I deceived you because I thought I knew you - from the candle. Follow your ideas. You're not supposed to treat us, your kind. Are they all wiped out? Even if it were, or if my father came back to life, I guess you would eventually suppress them, right? ”
"I was just scared. You have to trust me. Lu smiled, "But you yourself seem to be a little more alert. Candle tells me that you have little resistance to beautiful women. ”
Li Zhen looked at her hesitantly: "You...... Just trying to get out of trouble? And then nothing is going to be done? ”
"I'm tired." Lu replied briefly.
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment. Spread your hands: "This answer...... It's as if you're a human being. So...... For what happened to your husband and son. Don't mind? ”
Lu looked at him in amazement for a moment. Wan Er smiled: "Like a human? No. All the emotions that humans possess come from us. What human beings can experience, we can all experience. Don't you have joy and sorrow now? ”
"As for the two of them...... Lu lowered his eyes and looked up at Li Zhen again. If you really say that Candle is a person with a lot of emotions, maybe you can help me after listening to my experience? ”
"You mean Chiyu and Adam?" Li Zhen immediately asked.
Then he realized that he was a little anxious and acted too impatient. However, as an Chinese, I saw Lu with my own eyes, and this Lu wanted to tell a story of "gossip" between her and Chiyou...... How can anyone not be in a hurry?
The beautiful woman sighed slightly. And then tell the story.
"Of course you know who the Yellow Emperor is. But Emperor Yan ...... Not what you say you are. ”
"In fact, Emperor Yan has always been just one person - it is called Emperor Yan, also known as Shennong, and also known as Chiyou."
Li Zhen frowned slightly: "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs - is this true?" ”
"It's true. Humans are fragile and have a lot of things that can kill them, so they have to find a way to survive better. Lu nodded.
"But the Chiyou I saw in Shennongjia ...... If it's the same person as you say, it doesn't look like Shennong. Li Zhen shook his head, "The Shennong in my impression should have a heart of compassion." But with a heart of compassion for humanity...... Hehe. ”
"It's the same as my father. They all want humanity to survive. I heard what you said earlier with the candle—you were right. Indeed, they are our descendants. And the rest of ......"
The Yellow Emperor tribe recorded in the history books had three wars with the Yandi tribe. The title "Emperor Yan" is different from "Yellow Emperor", it does not refer to a person. This title is more akin to "emperor" or "satan" and is a title.
But on the other hand, it's really a person. That's a species.
The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor share the same philosophy – to keep humanity alive. It means a new hope.
However, the first war between the two sides had nothing to do with the same species, and the cause was humans.
Natural disasters make it impossible for vulnerable human beings to survive. Thus they have to move to new places. And the Yandi tribe ran to the territory of the Yellow Emperor.
This is no different from what is recorded in ancient books. Because even if they are mixed descendants of the same species, there is still an ethnic difference, so the two sides went to war. The first war was the defeat of the Yan Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor "killed" it. According to Li Zhen's understanding, this kind of "killing" is actually not complete, because the species will not completely eliminate each other, but only cause them to suffer heavy damage in some form.
So the species that has been battered will still be reborn - just like him. But the one who was born again changed. This change is not only manifested in appearance, but also in consciousness and character. So the second Yan Emperor was born.
The old grudge made it easy for the two sides to have another war after a short period of time, and this time it was also the defeat of Emperor Yan - the second time the species suffered a heavy blow, and Chiyou was born.
The interval between the wars was short for the species. But relative to humans. But it is a long time of thousands of years. In such a period of time, the humans of the two tribes have begun to communicate and merge. Gradually, it grows and develops. And the reborn Chiyou is not in a hurry to start a third war - because it has realized the strength of the Yellow Emperor.
But this does not mean that hatred has been dissolved, on the contrary, the seeds of hatred have taken root and taken possession of its heart. And the concept of persistence in the past has gradually become thin because of two "deaths". There was only one thing on its mind—
It had to defeat the Yellow Emperor and suppress it. It's better to take the artifact from its hand again.
Li Zhen couldn't help but interject: "So...... Are you married to Chiyou? The idea of the Yellow Emperor? To spy on it? ”
This kind of thing is extremely common in the Anthropocene. But it is precisely because it is too "human". So now that he is being placed on the body of the species, Li Zhencai feels a little unacceptable. In the past, he did know that there had been a marriage between the Yan and Huang tribes. But the question is...... Now he also knew that the leaders of both sides were of the same species.
Lu said that human emotions come because of them. Li Zhen had to keep reminding himself of this - this is the root cause.
Judging from her narrative, the Yellow Emperor at that time was indeed more like a human being - which was completely different from the feeling that Ying Long or Candle Dragon gave him. And this narrative seemed to strip away the layer of divine brilliance from the species in his heart, and it also made it more acceptable to him.
At this point he realized the candle dragon. Or Lucifer, indeed, was a very failed lobbyist.
Because that guy has been talking about fate, choices, mastery and the like—things that sound like gods on top and bathed in holy light, which may instill awe in the hearts of people who don't know the truth, but it's hard to identify with someone like him.
In fact, it was the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor in Lu's mouth that made him feel more cordial.
Lu smiled bitterly: "That's true, marriage." ”
So Li Zhen realized that the next plot might be a bit old-fashioned, and it might feel a little boring to him as an audience — especially for people like him who live in the information age.
So he easily made up the next development in his head-
The Yellow Emperor, as the daughter of an undercover agent, really likes Chiyou. This made him feel that maybe he looked awkward in Lu's eyes right now.
Because he also felt quite awkward when he watched Chi You himself. In the final analysis, there are still some differences in the aesthetics of species and humans. Or is this difference something that comes later? Otherwise, why would the current human beings feel majestic and domineering when they see those hideous metal armors?
At that time, did the people feel the same way when they saw the existence of Chiyou?
It took Lu ten years to give birth to "Adam". But in fact, its name is "Yi". However, Chiyou decided to wage another war against the Yellow Emperor. Because this time it has found helpers—the species that it has gradually gathered together.
Li Zhen asked a question: "Candle said that the Yellow Emperor is the successor of the master, and they all want to make the new human race multiply and grow. They look like they look like humans, and I can understand that, but what is Chiyou's identity? ”
Lu smiled slightly: "You have already seen your father's bones, and you must have found that its bones are different from Chiyou. You're right, we're different. We are Terrans. The word man was given to mankind later, and before that it was used to refer to our race. As for Chiyou, it's the difference between a monkey and an orangutan. ”
Li Zhen coughed.
This explanation reminded him of something "bad".
The mind of the species is indeed very strange.
At the same time, however, he was reminded of another thing – the historical races that were slightly different from modern humans, such as the famous Neanderthals...... Perhaps it was also the descendants of a different species that were subsequently exterminated by other populations?
Regardless, Lu and Chiyou at that time do seem to be "in love" - although the word is a bit awkward to use here. But Lu still betrayed the guy after a long struggle.
Therefore, in that third war, Chiyou lost again.
This time the Yellow Emperor did not appease. Because the species gathered around Chiyou had made him see some unstable factors, and this war had indeed killed and injured too many ordinary humans. The differences and conquests between the different races at that time could have led to the complete extinction of the new human race, so it did what came after—
The species that still exist in this world were suppressed one by one, and then human beings walked out of the era of "coexistence of man and god" and began to merge. This may mean that the appearance of "humans" of different ethnic groups was still very different before this great fusion, while the appearance of modern humans inherited more of the appearance characteristics of the Yellow Emperor tribe.

It's better to let a beautiful woman throw the setting than to listen to Li Zhen babbling on his own...... (To be continued......)
