Chapter 185: History in the Ancestral Hall
The unusual history of Xujiazhai can be traced back to the era of Xu Fang. That era was the beginning of the Age of the Night. It's been a few days since the paranormal virus swept the world.
The isolated people of Xujiazhai do not understand the situation in the outside world, let alone the so-called collapse of human social order and the coming of the end of the world. The ancestral annals of the village lord's mansion have left records of that time.
At noon, a deep sea of leaden clouds moved rapidly from the northeast of the mountain, covering the sky of Xujiazhai. The clouds poured dark rain, drenching every corner of the mountains and Xujiazhai. The dark rain pooled into small rivers that dug into the soil under the terraces and into the soil of the mountains.
From that day on, the people of the village began to have abnormalities, fever, cold, weakness, and even paralysis, blindness and deafness.
The crops in the terraces began to grow wildly, reaching a height of more than 6 meters in three days, and then decayed rapidly, leaving no fruit behind. The animals in the jungle have grown in size, their claws sharpened, and their fur has become harder. Most of the trees grew rapidly, growing 10 years tall and thick within three days, and some healthy trees suddenly became dead within three days.
The majority of the villagers in Xujiazhai are weakened or even dead, crying and crying about natural disasters, squatting in the family temple to worship their ancestors and pray for blessings, waiting hopelessly for the disaster to take their lives.
Xu Fang, the sixth-generation owner of the village, sent a small number of villagers in the village who had undergone positive changes in their bodies to explore the secrets in the mountains, collecting samples of different animals and plants, soil, and water sources, hoping to analyze the law of the impact of the dark rain.
Xu Fang is a rare biological genius. He compared all the samples he collected, and collected livestock and potted plants from all over the village that had "not been exposed to the rain and had not been exposed to the pollution source" for experiments, and divided the individuals polluted by the dark rain into four categories.
The most common is death. Humans and animals will die of organ failure in just three days, plants will grow rapidly and then run out of vitality and wither, and the fruits left behind will be useless dead things.
The second most common is negative change. Humans and animals will become more capable of one of their bodies, but they will soon be robbed of consciousness by colds, fevers, and other diseases, and become living corpses that have lost their memories. Plants grow rapidly, evolving the characteristics of other plants, such as poison, barbs, and developed rhizomes, but they do not bear fruit.
The penultimate rarity is that there is no change, and it is rare to be unaffected in natural disasters.
The rarest is the last one, a positive change! The strength of the human body, the stiffness of the cortex, the speed of running, the speed of healing wounds, or any one or more of the senses of sight, hearing, or smell. Animals are the same, and they are evolving much faster than humans. Most plants become thicker, taller, and evolve the characteristics of other plants.
Of the 850 people in Xujiazhai, 446 died, 395 remained unchanged, and only 9 had positive changes. Xu Fang himself is 1 of 9 people.
He summoned the remaining 8 people, referred to the strange stories recorded in the ancestral annals, and gave all the "witches" the title, and distinguished them with their own special abilities, such as "power witch" and "speed witch", and then used the abundant resources stored in the village master's mansion to collect all the other 8 people into the village owner's mansion, as the private soldiers of the village master's mansion, and killed all the living corpses that threatened ordinary people in a few days one after another.
Xu Fang experimented with mice with short reproductive cycles, and further discovered that the powerful genes of evolutionary organisms can be inherited. Later, Xu Fang began to implement the hereditary order. Remove the inferior failed individuals in the crops, and select the evolved high-quality individuals for planting; Kill evolved aggressive livestock, leaving unchanged livestock; Eight witch women were left behind for themselves and other witch pairs to give birth to children, and the widows who lost their husbands in natural disasters were encouraged to accept the sowing of male witches and give birth to high-quality offspring.
For a while, a large number of negative voices attacking Xu Fang's genetic order broke out in Juzhai, accusing Xu Fang of losing his ethics and morality, and asking him to get out of the position of the owner of the village! But Xu Fang had already gathered all the "witches" to stand on his side, and in the face of absolute power, the opposing voices could not make substantial waves.
Mutant animals have invaded the interior of the village countless times, Xu Fang and the Eight Witches have also fought countless times to protect the village, and the stinger vine fence was also built by them.
Time and profit are always the two most powerful forces in the world, in the face of the powerful combat power of the witches and the bravery of guarding the village, a large number of women have chosen to agree with Xu Fang's hereditary order, including many young girls who admire witches, women who seek a future generation for the future of their families, and widows who have succumbed to their spirits.
In Wu's position, Xu Fang also treats everyone equally, the survival and prosperity of Xujiazhai is the highest goal, but all women who sign up, whether they are beautiful or ugly, young or old, Wu must obey the order and sow seeds.
As a result, starting from the next generation of Xu Fang's generation, a large number of evolutionary human beings were born in the village, passed from generation to generation, and the number expanded very quickly. Both parents are witches, and offspring must be witches; The father is a witch, the mother is an ordinary person, and the offspring is most likely an evolved human with a physique that surpasses ordinary people, and there is a very small probability that it is a witch.
The history of Xujiazhai has gone from here to another path of "destruction" - "survival". It is no exaggeration to say that if the sixth generation of Xujiazhai is not Xu Fang, then Xujiazhai is now a deserted ruin.
Xu Fang controlled the situation after the natural disaster with the power of one person, reversed the fate of Xujiazhai, he is a legend, and has also become the sixth generation of god-like ancestors in the hearts of the descendants of the main line of the village.
It's a pity that more than ten years later, Xu Fang, who has reached the age of no doubt, died because of an accident and is buried forever. His tablet was enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Xu family, and his name was "The First Witch". His great achievements are integrated into the bloodline of Xujiazhai and continue to be inherited, but the story of that generation is kept secret by the same generation and the next generation, and they are reluctant to mention it to future generations of children and grandchildren.
Now, in Xujiazhai, in addition to the story of the village owner's mansion, few villagers remember.
Xu Haoqing bowed deeply to Xu Fang's tablet, his eyes full of respect.
After a bow, Xu Haoqing straightened his back and said slowly: "Xu Fang Ancestor, there are three outsiders in Xujiazhai recently, two of them are evolutionary humans and one witch, they brought a genetic enhancement potion, it is said that it can transform ordinary people into evolved humans the day after tomorrow, it is very magical, and the progress of humans who want to come to the outside world is also unusual." ”
Xu Haoqing organized the language for a while, and then said: "I'm ashamed to say that Haoqing has been waking up from sleep for no reason for a few days, and he is in a trance, and he is afraid that there will be a disaster. ”
After that, Xu Haoqing bent down again to worship Xu Fang's tablet, and then walked out of the ancestral hall.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains at night, a team of heavily armed mercenaries is encamping in a dry cave and lighting a bonfire.
