5.33 The Secrets of the Ancients, the Battle of Skinning
How to say it. Human beings in this era have not yet divided their feelings too delicately.
Friendship, family affection, love, and base affection are not so clearly distinguished. Whether it is cognition, or the taste of feelings, it is not delicate enough.
Therefore, the relationship between two people of the same sex is also considered to be a fixed emotional bond. Then, we should live together. And procreation and reproduction, that is another part of the content, has nothing to do with feelings at all. More like a job.
That's right, the early humans of this era separated feelings from procreation. It's not about reproducing with the people you love the most, it's about reproducing with the most suitable people.
Yes, because there is a demonic spirit.
In this era, there are no pure beasts yet.
Fierce beasts from ancient times and the many offspring they have bred are the main meat food of humans. Because of the animalistic characteristics of early humans, they had sufficient immunity to demonic energy in food. However, it can't resist the demonic energy released by itself when the 'beast nature is great'. That's right, the demonic energy is released by itself in real time.
Whenever this happens, the bestial part of the body begins to grow, devouring the surrounding normal torso and tissue, turning early humans into bestiads. That is, the legendary orcs.
It can also be said that the origin of the ancient orcs was from the early humans.
One more thing must be said. That's inbreeding.
It seems to be very common in this day and age. It is also because of the lack of distinction between family affection and love, so the combination of close relatives is also a very common phenomenon. It is also very recognized in the world, just like eating when you are hungry and drinking water when you are thirsty. It's very natural. There's nothing special about it (the sisters all go to the ancient times).
More than half a month of in-depth life. Let Wu Chen have a more intuitive impression of the beastialization of early humans. Especially when he saw a beastly early human who could be described as terrifying in the street for mating. made Wu Chen suddenly think of the estrus period that is common in the animal kingdom.
Animals in estrus are full of one thing - mating. Anything can be done for this. Any murderous and bloody act can be staged without hindrance during the estrus period.
With the mating progressing, then there is bestiality.
In the end, he was slaughtered by the combined efforts of the city's guards.
After the guards hastily cleaned up the battlefield, Wu Chen picked up a bamboo tube similar to him from the corner. Inside were the ashes of the incense extinguishing that had been depleted.
For the incense extinguishing in his bamboo tube, the gods in the cave also have a preliminary answer. These Flame Essence Stones have the effect of sucking demonic energy. It will also be consumed in the process of detoxification. Finally, it fails. In other words, the incense extinguishing in the bamboo tube is a consumable. When you run out of use, you should replace it in time.
How long will it take? The answer given by the Shikikami was three times.
After three clicks, it is time to replace. Referring to the price of one tube and two pun, it is very expensive.
Humanity in this age already has faith. Nu wa.
The tallest building in the city is the Nuwa Temple.
This was the first time Wu Chen had seen the temple of an ancient god. Most of the temples in later generations were Buddhas and Taoists, and the primitive gods were basically mountain gods, land, and so on that spread in local areas. The ancient gods of Fuxi and Nuwa have been gradually forgotten.
It's like the ancient beasts were suffocated into beasts by the increasingly thin aura, and the mechanics began to build traps to replace them. The spirit talisman used to make the mechanism in later generations was called the god pattern in this era. Engraved on the bodies of the ancestors.
Whether it's a secret method engraving or a beast face god pattern. are all different expressions of the spirit runes. The essence is the same. There may be two reasons why later generations engraved spirit runes on the body of the device. The human body of later generations is far inferior to that of their ancestors. And the aura of the five elements between heaven and earth is far less rich than that of ancient times.
Therefore, from the ancient fierce beasts to the trap beasts, from the ancient god patterns to the secret method engraving, human beings still inherited the cranial nerve endings from the Pangu god, as well as the 'spirit rune' that was first burned by the Fuxi god.
To put it simply, the spirit rune is a small section of Pangu's cranial nerve, a complex circuit derived from it. This circuit was engraved on the bodies of the ancestors in ancient times, and it was called: "Beast Face God Pattern". In the era of the Koto Middle Realm, the circuit was engraved on the top of the mechanism, which was called: "Secret Law Engraving".
The complete and complex secret method engraving was successfully cracked and split into simple circuits by the mechanics, which was called the "secret method engraving line". It's like the most basic functional loop in a complex circuit diagram. Each arcane engraving line has one of the simplest and most basic functions. The intuitive expression is that each arcane engraving line has a unique attribute. For example, 'armor piercing', 'light body', 'wind', and so on.
The person who first discovered and recorded the nerve endings of Pangu's brain was none other than Fuxi. It was also he who named these powerful cranial nerve endings: "Spirit Runes". Out of respect for the great god of Fuxi, the ancestors called the spirit rune "Shen Rune". As the ancient gods gradually disappeared from the field of vision of humans, and the aura became thinner and thinner, the spirituality became more and more sluggish, and the current mechanism master was renamed "Noh Fu".
From the spirit rune-divine rune-energy rune, the change in the name just echoes the change of the fierce beast-divine beast-beast. It is also in line with the reality that the aura is constantly thinning and the beasts are not spiritual.
The biggest gain from this adventure should be the completion of the unique system of the entire Qinzhong realm.
The origin of the mechanism, as well as the history of the most important secret method engraving, Wu Chen has successfully spliced it on (well, the system. If you don't come up with a high-quality system, you can't get along with yourself with incense...... Please forgive the author's obsessive-compulsive disorder, pot friends).
It's not easy to come to Xugu City, and Wu Chen said that he would also visit the Nuwa Temple.
Compared with the splendor of later generations, the temple that can't be plated with gold for urinals, Nuwa's temple, is simple and terrifying. Everything is natural, not a single trace of decoration. Even the stone statue standing in the middle of the temple seems to be natural. It is completely impossible to see Nuwa's original appearance.
For other clumsy styles, Wu Chen can tolerate it. But the idol ...... This Nima is just a stone, okay?
Wu Chen, who was different, was also recognized by the temple priest from the crowd at a glance.
"Young man, why are you frowning when you see your mother?"
Wu Chen subconsciously replied: "Where is this mother goddess, it is simply a stone." ”
"Hehe......" The temple priest smiled: "The mother goddess changes seventy times a day. Why can't it be a stone? ”
"......" Wu Chen reacted at this time, and when he looked back, the person who spoke was a temple priest wearing a coarse linen robe with a yellow face. Surprisingly, he also has black eyes. It is completely different from the colorful beast pupils in the city.
"Why did the female snail make a man?" Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Wu Chen still asked.
"Providence." The temple priest stared at Wu Chen's eyes and replied. Compared to early humans, Wu Chen has the wisdom that has evolved for more years.
"So, the birth of human beings was 'providence'?"
"No, it is the will of the Mother Goddess that gives birth to human beings." The priest of the temple said solemnly.
"'Providence' is to give birth to intelligent beings, and Nuwa chose to give this opportunity to humans." Wu Chen thought for a while.
The temple priest smiled, "You already have the answer. ”
"Is that so?" Wu Chen wanted to figure it out.
"How, no one knows." The priest took a hemp rope about three feet long, slightly thinner than a little finger, full of fragrance, and handed it to Wu Chen. "Burn some incense rope for the mother goddess."
"Okay." Incense is a must.
After the incense rope was lit, the priest motioned for Wu Chen to sit down with him.
Retracting his gaze from the rising smoke, Wu Chen sighed: "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. ”
"Because I haven't seen what the mother goddess looks like."
"Hmm." Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "I heard that Nuwa's creation of people has been going on for many, many years. It wasn't until the end that it was nearly complete. However, when I came here, I realized that it didn't seem right. ”
"What's wrong?" The priest asked again.
"You see, the goddess is long gone. But the perfect human beings have not appeared, and what about the perfect human beings who will not be eroded by demonic energy in the next life? ”
"Hehe......" The priest smiled, "'Unless the monster dies, how can there be a human being who is not corrupted'?" ”
Wu Chen was taken aback: "So, the perfect human race actually doesn't exist. ”
"Only by dissolving animal nature can we strengthen human nature." The priest laughed.
Wu Chen understood: "Understood." ”
It turns out that early humans and late humans are no different in nature. The only change is to hide the beast nature that grows on the surface in the heart.
And the temple priest who was talking to him, Wu Chen didn't know if it was the real priest of Nuwa, or if it was a mirror image of himself. The priest didn't really answer the questions he asked. These answers seem to have been buried in Wu Chen's own heart. but by the mouth of the priest, he spoke.
Leaving the Nusnail Temple, Wu Chen went to the majestic City Lord's Mansion.
If you have to participate in a martial arts competition to meet the lord of the city, then sign up.
Fortunately, most of the people who signed up were women. The women of this era are also extremely strong. And there are not as many restrictions as later generations. I like to have a shot, I don't like to cut a knife, come and go like the wind, and it's very free.
In this era, the seeds of power have germinated, the division of labor has gradually been refined, and society has begun to stratify.
There is a profession that has disappeared in later generations and has recently risen again - false mothers. It is a woman who gives birth for others, and she is somewhat similar to the current surrogate mother.
It is said that popping with her will not be beastial. Wu Chen hasn't tried it, so he doesn't know if it's the case.
There were a lot of people who came to apply. Both men and women. And the expressions are very natural. A few men and women who knew each other were still laughing loudly. Judging from the few words, their relationship is really ...... Nature.
According to the rules, only the final victor can meet the lord of the castle. Divided into groups in twos, the battle soon began.
Early humans were already very skilled in warfare. Bronze weapons are also used in perfect use. You come and go, and the battle is fierce.
The easiest is Wu Chen's side. It's always a casual knife that splits the opponent with a helmet. Against early humans who did not have a god tattoo, he had an overwhelming advantage.
After defeating the last opponent, Wu Chen finally got the opportunity to meet the city lord.
"Follow me." An old man who looked like a housekeeper said to Wu Chen with an expressionless face. (To be continued.) )
