Chapter 0999: The Curse of the Sword in the Stone (I)
The sword in the stone actually came from the third era of world prehistory?
According to Luo Huang, it was a mythological era, and the series of myths and legends that exist now are actually a microcosm of that era, so doesn't it mean that the sword in the stone originally belonged to a certain god?!
Oh, no, or should it be said that it is a relatively powerful cultivator, anyway, judging from Luo Huang's words, whether it is the Buddha and Tao in the East, or the mythological systems such as Athens, Northern Europe, and Celtic in the West, the "gods" in them have all existed, and they are powerful cultivators who appear in a special environment in order to reproduce one by one, and later left a microcosm after their demise, and the story was gradually sorted into a mythological system.
So, since the Sword in the Stone appeared in that era, can we make such a guess - it was actually originally a weapon of an extremely powerful cultivator, and it was only transmitted to King Arthur in the fourth era of civilization!
I came up with my own conjectures.
"Some are right, some are wrong!"
Hathaway curled up under the thick blanket and quilt, glanced at me, and said softly: "The Sword in the Stone has indeed changed hands several times in the Age of Gods and Ghosts, and there are many powerful gods, or it can be said that many powerful cultivators have used it, but it does not belong to those people, because it is a god itself!" ”
Hathaway was so frightened that I almost jumped up from the ground with a word, and then she didn't answer these questions directly, but looked at me with slanted eyes, and then asked, "God, you are also a more knowledgeable person, you should know Norse mythology, right?" ”
I nodded, of course I knew.
In fact, the so-called Norse mythology is a unique mythological system in Scandinavia, and the time of formation is much later than that of several other mythological systems, about the first to second centuries AD, it is a polytheistic system, which can be roughly divided into four systems: giants, gnomes, elves and gods!
How to say it, this mythological system is actually quite confusing, and if you are not particularly familiar with Western history and culture, I am afraid that you will really not understand it all of a sudden.
In general, the general situation of this mythological system is as follows: giants are the first beings to give birth to the gods, but at the same time they are the worst enemies of the gods. The gods are divided into two tribes, the Aesir clan led by the main god Odin and the Warner clan led by the god of the sea, Nijod, of which there are twelve main gods. Elves and gnomes are demigods, and they serve the gods.
However, according to the current situation, the gods and giants in this mythological system should have existed, in the Third Age of gods and ghosts, they gathered in Scandinavia, forming such a huge system, after the fall of the Third Age, between the first and second centuries of the civilization we are now in, the traces of their original existence may have been excavated by some Norsemen, and the current Norse mythological system was formed little by little.
"You are very smart, you began to merge myths and ancient deeds so quickly, in fact, when I heard Sanqing talk about this, I couldn't accept all this for a long time, let alone connect the people in myths and legends with an ancient civilization era, it seems that you are more adaptable than me."
With a smile on the corner of Hathaway's lips, she said softly: "Actually, the real situation is like this, in the era of gods and ghosts, there were indeed a group of very powerful primeval beings in Scandinavia, they were giants, gnomes and elves, all of these three races came from the solar era, and they were some of the creatures that survived the destruction of the spiritual age after the destruction of the solar era. At that time, because after the destruction of the two civilizations, the ratio of men and women of the three races was seriously imbalanced, and the giant clan was born with the desire of males to protect females because they were still brave and warlike, so in the destruction of the two eras, most of their males were killed in battle, and most of the females in the group belonged to the kind of very typical male-dominated race, so in the destruction of the two eras, most of them survived males. In order to ensure the reproduction of the race, these three races have no choice but to intermarry, so the mutation of the excellent gene fusion of interracial marriage has appeared, and these situations are concentrated in the intermarriage of giants and elves, but all the offspring produced by the combination of giants and male elves are very powerful, they have both the strong physique of the giant clan, and the ability of the elves to control nature, which is very powerful, which is the prototype of the gods in Norse mythology!
After the gods appeared, the giants felt that they had seized their leadership position, and began to oppose the gods, and gradually, the complex situation of Norse mythology and legend was formed, that is, the giants gave birth to the gods, and finally became the enemies of the gods.
In short, Norse mythology is actually a microcosm of what happened in Scandinavia during the age of gods and ghosts, and you can see what happened there there in endless years through Norse mythology. These things were all told to me by the Sanqing Daoist at the beginning, and it may be too subversive for you and me, but it is indeed history, and the origin of the sword in the stone that I want to talk about is actually related to the gods of Northern Europe, to be precise, it is related to the Aesar gods led by the main god Odin. ”
Hathaway was talking, I had been listening silently, and then Hathaway did not pause, and directly talked about the origin of the sword in the stone: "In fact, the sword in the stone itself has a soul and spirituality, which was told to me by the Sanqing people, he said, the sword in the stone was originally an essence of the earth in Scandinavia, and after the changes of the years, a stone was formed, and it experienced the great changes of the world in the two civilizations of the solar age and the spiritual era, and the soul and spirituality in this stone were finally formed. It's like us humans, with an independent soul.
Originally, if there was no external force to intervene, maybe this soul would have been conceived in the stone, and in the end, just like the Monkey King in your Chinese myths and legends, he became the elf in the stone, and the day he broke out of the shell, that is when he was completed, and in the end it will definitely become something that cannot be done.
Unfortunately, such a journey was interrupted after all.
The first person who discovered this stone was actually the main god Odin, according to the Sanqing Daoists, the main god Odin because of the genes of giants and elves, the life form itself far exceeded that of elves and giants, and later he got the cultivation method to achieve the Tao, and he was already an emperor-level existence! His eyes were very vicious, and after seeing this stone for the first time, he saw at a glance that this stone was extraordinary, and then, he took this stone away, and after very careful consideration, he decided to make this stone into a sword!
A sword with very lethal power, a sword condensed from the essence of the earth!
You also know that if this earth essence does not have a soul to control it, it is actually very easy to disperse, if it were not for the soul in that stone to combine the earth essence by chance, this stone would not be so unusual, so the main god Odin hesitated for a long time, and decided to use the soul in this stone and the power of the earth to build this sword, so he selected the best meteorite and used the meteorite to create a sharp sword, and finally, He also injected all the soul and earth power in the stone into this sword, which was the sword in the stone at the beginning! ”
Speaking of this, Hathaway glanced at me, she only had her head moving, so when she looked at me, she tilted her head, her eyes were very complicated, and she was silent for a moment before she said: "So, the sword in the stone is actually a god itself, but Odin made this god into a sword, it is a sword with a soul, the story is here, it is not over, the real disaster is still to come......"
