Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cage of Civilization

Gu Qingshan looked at his hands.

When the two sharp stones were sharpened, his hands broke a little skin and blood oozed from it.

And the long black hair on his arms has fallen off a bit.

- What's going on?

Could it be that doing something that advances civilization will lead to a slight evolution?

Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.

On the hillside.

The apes let out one roar after another.

They brandished torches, trying to scare off the massive saber-toothed tiger.

However, the saber-toothed tiger only retreated slightly, and was really forced to be ruthless, so he went around in a circle and returned to his original position.

In the past, as long as the prey spotted in advance, the saber-toothed tiger would generally give up the hunt.

But today, it seems determined to eat a few apes.

Seeing such an attitude of the saber-toothed tiger, the apes were visibly nervous.

They shouted loudly, gesturing behind them to drive away.

Immediately, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were driven into the cave.

Only the youngest and strongest apes remained on the hillside outside, ready to fight the saber-toothed tigers to the death.

The ape-man "prophet" was also invited.

He looked at the current situation, and his face showed a bit of boredom.

Gu Qingshan jumped down from the tree, approached him, and said in a low voice, "How do you deal with it in the past?" ”

Know first: "If this beast doesn't leave, he must want to eat the ape man today, and it seems that he must fight." ”

Gu Qingshan said: "The No. 2 Chosen One was killed by lightning, do you know where the No. 1 Chosen One is?" ”

"What do you want to do?" The Prophet asked.

"Work with him so we can move a lot faster." Gu Qingshan Road.

"The Chosen One is not the entrance to my side." Know first.

Gu Qingshan was slightly stunned.

That's right.

This is the entrance to the Chosen One of the Human Realm.

In addition to this, there must be other entrances to the reincarnation realm.

"You're the boss here, why don't you assign me to fight that saber-toothed tiger?" Gu Qingshan Road.

Since the other Chosen ones are not there, it is time for you to hurry.

The old goblin gave himself three hours of goblin luck.

- You have to win the approval of all the apes as quickly as possible.

This is how easy it is to do the next thing.

The prophet looked at him and understood.

The prophet raised the wooden staff in his hand, pointed at the saber-toothed tiger not far away, nodded at Gu Qingshan, and said loudly, "You, go and deal with that beast!" ”

Gu Qingshan walked out from behind him, passed all the apes, and strode towards the saber-toothed tiger.

He walked first, then trotted instead, moving his arms as he ran.

He had no stone hammer in his hand, no torches, just a stone in his hand.

The saber-toothed tiger watched vigilantly for a while, and his eyes were quickly filled with murderous intent.

- Only one ape-man?

Just an ape, you want to deal with yourself?

The saber-toothed tiger felt insulted.

It took a deep breath -

Roar!!!

The saber-toothed tiger let out a fierce roar.

At the moment when it opened its mouth, Gu Qingshan threw a stone violently!

The stone slammed into the saber-toothed tiger's mouth like a cannonball.

The howl was interrupted.

The saber-toothed tiger's nearly ten-meter-long body pressed heavily against the grass with a muffled sound.

- Before it could react at all, it died.

There was silence.

Suddenly, the apes erupted in cheers.

A burly ape-man was the first to run up and shouted, "This can't be! A single stone can't kill this beast! ”

Gu Qingshan said: "You are right. ”

He stepped forward and cracked the saber-toothed tiger's mouth.

I saw a large hole in the depths of the saber-toothed tiger's mouth, and blood and slurry were slowly flowing out.

Gu Qingshan casually took out another sharp stone and showed it to all the apes who came up.

"As long as the stone is sharpened, it can pierce the skin of the beast and hurt it severely!" Gu Qingshan said loudly.

The apes looked at the stone in his hand, and at the huge saber-toothed tiger carcass.

Many of the apes were thoughtful.

……

Two days later.

Gu Qingshan squatted on the tree and looked not far away.

A cheetah has broken into the territory of the apes.

This time, the apes had an extra weapon in addition to the stone hammer.

- Stone spears.

Tie a branch to a sharpened stone and it becomes a spear.

Gu Qingshan watched quietly for a while.

The apes were obviously accustomed to using stone hammers, and were a little awkward and panicked about using spears.

- They can't be fatal with one hit.

The cheetah was stabbed by a stone spear, felt an unprecedented threat, and immediately took advantage of its speed and fled quickly.

The apes cheered again.

Although he couldn't keep the cheetah, he couldn't have imagined that he could defeat the other party so easily.

They gathered in a circle, singing and dancing, celebrating their victory.

Gu Qingshan looked at it for a while, jumped off the big tree, turned around and walked towards the cave.

The Prophet remained in the depths of the cave, sitting at the fire, boredly smoking a long cigarette made of leaves.

"You've done a good job, why do you still look sad?" The Prophet asked.

"Is that good?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Crossing countless apocalypse, monsters, and countless graves, and knowing the exact location to get here - you did it."

The Prophet puffed out a puff of smoke and continued, "Also, the apes have begun to consciously process tools, which was unimaginable before, and the entire ape-man civilization is embarking on a path of rapid development. ”

Gu Qingshan raised his arm.

The long black hair on the arms had been reduced a bit, but to a very small extent, far less than it had been when the sharp stone had first been made.

Gu Qingshan sighed and said, "It took two days to successfully make five stone spears, and in the process of making and using them, there were three apemen who were injured by this—there is still a long way to go before you can completely master the use of spears so that they can be used to fight against large beasts." ”

"You can teach them some basic ways to attack poleguns - in that case, they will probably be faster." Know first.

"But how much faster? There are so many things to learn, and the ape-man is not yet civilized, does not understand the written word, does not understand the basic laws of the operation of all things, and sometimes only expresses consciousness by shouting and shouting. ”

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh again, and continued: "Even if I keep teaching them something—if they want to enter a relatively advanced civilization, they will definitely go through several generations, this is at least a process that lasts hundreds of years, and my evolution will become a long process with them. ”

The Prophet burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect that the Chosen ones would have to bear this kind of 'prophetic' status like me."

"I have been here for hundreds of years, and during this time, I have been surrounded by these ignorant fellows, and even if I wanted to teach them anything, they would not understand it, and would only record what I said and enshrine it as a classic."

"But with their insight and knowledge, they will not understand the truth I am telling at all."

"What loneliness this is!"

His whole body trembled when he laughed, and tears of laughter came out.

Gu Qingshan looked at him, and waited for his mood to stabilize a little before asking, "So I'm wondering, did you make a mistake." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? The prophet asked, puzzled.

Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that you said something to me before——"

"You said that because of the mistakes you made in the past, you were punished to stay in this primitive age of ignorance, in the body of an ancient ape."

The Prophet nodded, "That's right." ”

"And you have always stayed in this era, never been to any other era, and you don't know that there is a way to get out of this ancient prison." Gu Qingshan Road.

"yes, what the hell are you going to say?" The Prophet couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qingshan waved his hand to signal him not to ask, and continued:

"Your duty is to tell the Chosen that they will move forward with the process of civilization so that they can move from the beginning of this era to the end of civilization, and then awaken the human realm."

"Yes." Know first.

"That is to say, the Chosen One must progress through the times." Gu Qingshan Road.

"You can say the same thing." Know first.

"So, how do the six realms of reincarnation determine the progress of civilization? What is the logo? Gu Qingshan asked.

The prophet was stunned.

"You are imprisoned in this era, in the body of an australopithecus - but if the times progress, you are still a prisoner - will you become a human, or will you still be in the body of an australopithecus?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The Prophet opened his mouth and hesitated, "I only know that it is my job to pass the word...... Do you think that I, a prisoner of the age of ignorance, am also a hint of the Six Realms? ”

Gu Qingshan looked at him quietly and nodded.

The Prophet stood up abruptly and said loudly, "What do you have in mind?" How to leave this era? Tell me! ”

Gu Qingshan said: "I have already made it very clear. ”

Know first: "But I don't understand!" ”

Gu Qingshan said: "The six reincarnations have allowed us to advance civilization from the ignorant ape-man era, but we haven't said what to use as a criterion, which will cause a huge problem——"

"Actually, you should know that as a civilization, it has different 'sides'."

"At many critical moments in history, technology will be more adapted to the requirements of human beings, so as to defeat the inferior cultivation; In other suitable historical opportunities, magic may defeat technology; There are times when martial arts may be able to stifle magic; Not to mention those mysterious, bizarre civilizations—"

"In short, everything is uncertain, and many small events may determine the direction of the entire civilization and which side it ultimately belongs to."

"So, what's the standard?"

The Prophet was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Yes, what exactly is the standard?" ”

Gu Qingshan sighed and said, "This step will eliminate many people, they wouldn't have thought that you are actually the standard of the Six Dao." ”

"Me?" Know first.

"Yes, you're trapped in an ape-man's body, so you're trapped in this primitive age that belongs to the ape-man, so...... Maybe that's the standard? Gu Qingshan said.

"Body? My body is indeed my cage, but if the body is used as a criterion for judging the level of civilization, how can I get rid of the ape-man's body? The Prophet wondered.

Gu Qingshan said in a low voice: "If you want to get rid of the cage of your body, you must first think about which side you want to take, and then you can get out of the cage of the Origin Land and go to the future of some civilization." ”

"It's a really interesting thing."

He took out a branch and drew a rune on the ground.

"This rune represents a magical civilization, it is the most basic condensation method, which allows the water vapor in the air to condense on the rune."

"You want to perform miracles?" Know first.

"No, I didn't claim to be a god, nor did I deceive beings - the rune I drew came from the laws of nature, the cornerstone of magical civilization, and it was the standard of civilization of the ancient human race, just like the stone spear I made." Gu Qingshan Road.

The Prophet looked at the rune.

I saw small droplets of water condensed on the surface of the rune.

He gradually understood, and said in a deep voice, "You want to-"

"Whether it's as I guessed it is, I'll soon find out." Gu Qingshan Road.

The two of them looked down at the runes and waited quietly.

The next moment.

Lines of small scarlet letters flashed in the void:

"Congratulations, you've learned the secrets of the Six Realms."

"Every era is a tomb of the past, and the Six Realms seal the true human realm with this purpose, so that it is protected to the strictest extent."

"Of course, it is not wrong to promote the development of the entire civilization, although the process is very long."

"But some people will notice another test of the Six Paths, he will understand the secrets of the Tomb of the World, and jump directly in the tombs of various civilizations in order to get to the ultimate tomb faster."

"Using the body as a cage and civilization as a means to get out of the cage is one of the means to pursue the ultimate civilization."

"You're about to leave the Tomb of the Primordial and move on."

Gu Qingshan was in a trance for a while.

He felt like he was out of the ape-man's shell, his soul floating in the void, flying in all directions.

I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a very long time.

Gu Qingshan suddenly felt that he had landed on solid ground.

It's a large, spacious building with some kind of wonderful power.

- Magic.

A loud voice came from the front:

"Starting today, you're going to start learning about magic."

"Magic is the fundamental ...... on which we fight evil"

The voice kept preaching.

All around are peers, standing neatly in rows and uniforms.

Gu Qingshan raised his hand to look at it, and then looked at himself.

- I became an eleven or twelve-year-old boy myself.

No longer an ape-man.

It's human children.
