Chapter 147: The Old Grandfather Goes Out, a Top Two (Part I)
Time goes back to the early morning of the eighth day of the third month of the Shengming calendar, when the gentlemen turned into a frenzied robbery party and looted a team of people and horses cleanly, Gu Yuanba took his retinue to break away from Da Chu's team and went to Yanmenlin to prepare to launch his "heads-up sweep" plan.
As the chief envoy of this mission, Canglan River did not block it too much, after Gu Yuanba led the people away, he still took the rest of the people with his face unchanged and continued to search for the established cave.
Just like the Chijin people had carefully collected information in this area before this spring hunt in Yanshan, Da Chu also worked hard in intelligence in order to win the first place in this spring hunt so that he could take the lead in exploring that "realm" in the future.
The cave they are going to now in the Canglan River is the habitat of one of the three emperor-level demon beasts in this area, the Night Bat King of the middle grade.
Compared to this Night Bat King, what Canglan Jiang wants to capture more is the Xuanbing horseshoe crab that has survived for an unknown number of years.
The horseshoe crab is arguably the oldest species of existence on the continent of Middle-earth.
The birth of the Kyushu Xuanyu was hundreds of millions of years ago, and no one can say clearly. However, as long as you are a monk, you know that in this world, before this continent of Middle-earth became the situation of the world's many secular dynasties, it had gone through three long and incomparable years.
The first period was called the Prehistoric Flood Era, and in that era, it was said that the nine continents of the Xuan Domain of Kyushu were not like they are today, and there was an endless sea between the several major plates that even a powerful monk could not cross.
At that time, the aura between heaven and earth was incomparably rich, so rich that it was unimaginable for the monks of today.
Legend has it that in the prehistoric flood era, there was a weed everywhere on the roadside, all of which were of the spirit class, and any stone on the ground contained a purer aura than today's spirit stones.
At that time, human monks lived in tribal groups, and each tribe was an independent society and an independent dynasty. At that time, there was no concept of sects and families at all, and even the concept of monks was not put forward at all in that era.
Because, the legendary human beings living in the prehistoric flood era, from birth, after receiving the baptism of their respective tribes, will stimulate the infinite potential of the body, can feed on the aura of heaven and earth, drink the essence of the sun and the moon, not only have the unimaginable power of future generations, but also the strong ones, but also can have the great power of the mountains and seas!
And the one that can baptize the newborn baby is a kind of pillar ritual vessel unique to each tribe.
Each tribe has its own unique beliefs, and they engrave this belief on the special refining of the pillars, which are infinitely useful and powerful, and the treasures of these pillars are worshiped and worshiped by the tribe day by day, and gradually begin to transcend the realm of magic weapons and have endless power.
Later generations of monks called this unique pillar treasure of each tribe "totem".
The totem of each tribe is the most powerful patron saint of the tribe.
In that era when the aura of heaven and earth was so abundant that it exploded, even the weeds that could be seen everywhere on the roadside could have the level of spirit level, let alone those demon beasts that were born stronger than humans.
The prehistoric flood era is not so much the source of the monastic system in this world as a history of the struggle between man and nature.
It is precisely in the process of fighting against all kinds of calamities in the natural world again and again, and in the process of fighting against this heaven and earth, people have mastered the use of this power in their bodies more progressively, and have also learned how to turn the aura between heaven and earth into a part of themselves, so as to enhance their own strength.
This was the beginning of the gradual germination of the monastic system.
As more and more people began to master this method, the strong among the human race became more and more numerous, and in the fight against the natural calamity beast tide, the victory rate of the human race became higher and higher, the number of deaths decreased, and the number of people naturally began to increase.
With the massive increase in population, the original tribal pattern of group living in Daozhì was gradually dismantled.
Where there are people, there are struggles, and there are rivers and lakes.
So, gradually, all the people in the tribe who originally shared the same surname began to divide, and there was a difference between relatives and aliens. Those direct blood relatives are, of course, the closest to the cunzài.
At this time, blood relations have become a bond that binds everyone.
Thus, the tribe disintegrated and the family was born.
A large number of people, the crude cultivation methods that are in the development stage, consume a lot of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but they are far from being able to reach one percent of the current cultivation efficiency.
The consumption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has caused those flowers and trees, monsters, beasts and birds that are naturally raised to become weaker, so that the living space of human beings has become wider and wider.
Countless families began to rise in this world.
However, the resources of heaven and earth are limited after all, and with the increase of population, the contradiction between resource demand will inevitably erupt.
Between the various families, one battle after another began to break out for resources. In these battles, some families grew stronger, while others died out in the long course of history.
During this period, a certain part of the people in different families began to think about how to make more reasonable and efficient use of the aura between heaven and earth. After all, the resources of heaven and earth are limited after all, and no matter how much they are snatched, they cannot change the fact that they are gradually being consumed.
Since this situation cannot be changed, it is obviously a question that must be considered next to maximize the effect of the limited resources of heaven and earth.
They first did their own research and exploration, and then, several like-minded people from well-related families began to communicate and discuss.
So one after another whimsical ideas burst out, and these ideas, after countless failed attempts, finally formed a set of inherent systems, which was the beginning of the birth of the exercises.
As these crude exercises were gradually perfected, these people who collectively created the exercises, their respective families, were naturally the first to benefit.
In order to protect the exclusive enjoyment of this kind of interests, these families began to formulate strict norms one by one, without exception, these exercises are naturally forbidden to be passed on, and only the heirs of their own families have the qualifications to cultivate.
The families that share these exercises naturally become more united and intimate, and thus the interest groups formed by the union of several families are born, which is the prototype of the sect.
Families and sects, along with this relationship of interests, gradually took shape and became stable. And all kinds of exercises for cultivating oneself with the help of heaven and earth spiritual energy have also been improved better and better in this process.
So, in the prehistoric flood era, so far it has bid farewell to the stage of Kyushu Xuanyu, and another new era, in such a situation, gradually opened its curtain.
This era is the second period in the history of the Xuanyu of Kyushu - the era of great cultivation, and it is also an era in which the monk system is formed, and countless exercises, martial arts, and spells are contending, colliding with countless brilliant sparks!
