Chapter 66: The Human
In Sunset City, it refers to a domestic animal and was one of the first animals to be tamed by humans.
It is roughly equivalent to a domestic pig in another world.
Renbi, literally, is...... It is made of people.
"What we have to do is do nothing more than turn one thing into another, or two things into one thing, and that idea has been around for a long time, and the methods that people can give in the first place, hehe, are always rudimentary, follow intuition, and are not aesthetically pleasing."
The cave was dim and deep, and it stood in front of the silver-white Xuanyu, and its green eyes were like hungry wolves in the forest.
"If you don't have wings to fly, you want to paint yourself the wings of the most beautiful white bird, and if your limbs are weak, you hope to eat meat and steam bones in soup. If the skin is not good...... Then put on good smooth human skin. However, ordinary people will die if they put on strange things...... It's hard...... But Genniao won't. The so-called Xuanniao is the existence of a living strange thing. Its body seems to have an infinite nature, and it can endure most injuries without dying...... That's what makes it particularly bizarre. Using Xuanniao as a material, is it obviously higher than using people as a material? ”
The big white bird cowered to the side in fear.
"Hehe, let's go back to our methods. I said that the origin of the punishment of mending heaven is human beings. Then there is also an origin of human beings...... At first, it was simply a punishment, a punishment that made rulers tremble. ”
"What is this punishment?"
Lady Oki narrowed her eyes.
Rodent continued:
"That's a long story. When Her Majesty was my teacher, she told me an old story, or, she said, maybe a myth. She said that the tribal alliance called Nine Suspicions, a long time ago, did not inhabit this land. Here's something you already know. They were in a valley, where the valley was so hot that the sun always hung in the highest middle heaven, and only when the birds flew through the sky could all things come to life in the heat. But the alliance of the Nine Doubts has lived there for a long time, and they consider their land to be their land from heaven, and they have a complete set of laws that originated in the distant mountains in the past, and who wrote them down, and now they have disappeared into the waves of the great river of sunshine. But at that time, this set of laws was indeed the only law for their survival in the land where the sun was hanging in the sky, and one of them said that no one should leave their homeland, and that it was dangerous and terrible outside. But at that time, many people asked, what is the other side of the mountain? Many of these people who ask questions die of mediocre old age, while others sneak away while they are alive and never return. And one more person. The man was gone, and a few days later, he returned to his homeland. ”
He paused, as if waiting for Mrs. Ogiri to speak.
Mrs. Oki said:
"I don't think any adventurer can resist the urge to share, he must have said something about the outside world, didn't he?"
"My teacher said that on the other side of the mountain, there was a warm river, and there were other lives that he had never seen before, and he had made friends with people of other nationalities, and he saw wonderful water...... It's not water in the crevices of the rocks underground, but a magnificent, majestic, aggregated mass of water that flows from somewhere and ends up flowing to somewhere you don't know where. He said that the land could be cultivated with an edible grain, and that there was a kind of people who lived in the ground who were very similar to them. The irrigated and cultivated soil gives off a faint sweet taste. The smoke-colored clouds, erected on the boundless land, must be the most immortal realm in this world. ”
"In the present, the people of Sunset City also say that this land is also given to us by God, eternal and unchanging...... I grew up listening to these things that my parents called sacred. ”
Mrs. Ogiri laughed a few times and said, but did not express her exact opinion.
It was as if he was looking at the struggling bird in a cage, as if he were looking at a poor beast.
He didn't seem to hear Mrs. Ogiri's words, so he only asked to himself:
"Do you know the end of that man?"
"You said it was the origin of the human body, I already know it, but I would like to hear about it too."
"Hehe, then I'll talk about it. At that time, His Majesty said that the man had broken the law of his ancestors and was hated by the actual ruler, so he was punished. The name of this punishment was to reduce him to the lowest slave, a slave who was lower than all the slaves that existed. But the existing slaves, who have been blinded, are called blind slaves. There are also those who are only allowed to crawl on the ground and walk, and those who see anyone must kneel, and it is not known who invented it. But what is more lowly than these slaves? It seems that there is no more...... There are only domestic animals, one called 彘, that is, pig-like domestic animals. ”
Nick smiled sadly.
Lady Oki already knew what he was going to say.
So the executioners made him a pig...... Is it? ”
"Yes, that's what people are. I really don't know who invented it, maybe some flattering slave? If you want to become an adult, the first step is to cut off your limbs. The limbs of a man are not like those of a man, they are too slender. For now, the limbs of the Xuanyao are too short for human walking. ”
"The second is to gouge out the eyes. The cornea of the eyeball is egg-shaped, and the sclera is thicker than that of a human, and its vision is very poor, which is far inferior to that of a human. Although the eyes of the Xuanyao are good, they are not worth mentioning compared to the strange things that can directly connect the optic nerve and penetrate far away. ”
Nick began to compare the body of the bird, as if the butcher was comparing the beasts on the board.
Then, the tongue is cut off and the vocal cords are destroyed, because the human voice is obviously different from the sound of the voice. By this point, the treatment of one person has been almost done. But His Majesty said that there was one last step in that ancient punishment. ”
"That step is...... Sewing up the skin of the Biao - normal imagination, usually can't go this far, normal people should die. But the one who disobeyed the admonition is still alive, haha! His Majesty said that it was a strange thing left to him by his parents that hung his life, until he sewed his skin and he was still alive. It is said that he had just finished sewing his skin, and when he woke up, he was wallowing in pain in the dirt that he had unconsciously discharged, and then it was led and felt his whole peeled skin, and he also touched his face, and then let out a cry of horror. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle. There was a strange thorn in the bottle. He plunged the thorn into the bird's body.
The bird spread its wings in grief, trying to cry out, but was only unable to swallow the air stream because of the clipping off of its tongue. Something strange and strange that grew inside it could not resist the power of the thorn, and easily caused it to fall.
Even the ruler of the time, when he gave the order, did not expect his subordinates to do this. But that's when the fun stuff happened. ”
They found that the man survived, and lived for a long time.
Rodent said.
Because of strange objects, human bodies, and other inexplicable reactions.
Thus a terrible door was opened to mankind, and an indescribable corner of history was revealed.
"And maybe he's still alive."
At that time, His Majesty had said such a thing to the rodent of a young man.
Now he relayed it to Lady Ogiri, staring at his possible successor.
He saw Lady Ogiri standing silently behind him, and put her top hat back on with great doubt. She said:
A sudden doubt arose in me...... Your Highness is a transcendent man made of strange things, this is something I know. Therefore, I have long discovered many unusual places in His Highness's body. Now, I suddenly want to ask......"
Gnaw looked at her as usual.
"What is the nature of Your Highness? What I mean......"
Mrs. Oki said at the time.
Your Highness is the one who has glued to strange things?
Or is it a strange thing that looks like a human?
Is it a strange thing man who stitched together the Xuanniao?
Or what about the corpse of a bird that looks like a human......?
Or is it all or neither?
He only turned his head and said:
"Now that you've thought of this, you probably already understand what kind of body His Majesty wants to create...... If you may have the answer in your heart, why do you ask me? Haha, that's all I can say, oh, I can say one, I can say one, I can say one, the first time I came to this room, this bird was here, but it wasn't as lonely as it is now. ”
At that time, he saw a broken eggshell under the plump silver-white feathers of this black bird. It gently hugged a few small birds that had just broken their shells.
One of them is still fresh in my memory.
It's a small, very small, malnourished bird from birth. The bird, in the arms of the Xuanniao, held its head high, chirped curiously, faintly, merrily, towards the brilliant lights of the walkway outside.
And it has a pair of bright gray eyes.
"Who can know the true origin and development of all these things?"
He said.
A little earlier than that, thunder and rain poured down among the mountains.
The canyon that crosses the mountains is like an indelible wound left by the ancient earth. The girl stood on the top of the cliff, and her ears heard only the sound of the rushing water.
Her eyes saw that the feathers in her hands were visibly wet in the rain, and the velvety yarns were all curled up and glued together.
And the feathers in his hand are still rich, stretching freely in the rain.
"Your Highness, you don't have much time to think...... We are not one, and our pursuers are coming from many directions. "Perhaps, right now, those two travelers you have a heart for you are in unimaginable danger, and you must make a decision as soon as possible!" His Majesty...... Still waiting for you to come home! ”
"You're right."
The grand rain knocked the leaves to the ground. The leaves drift with the water, like a flat boat on the river, and they fly as if they have passed. The soft earth seems to be dissolving in the water.
"They are in danger......
Chu Yun said.
She lowered her head, and suddenly it occurred to her that she didn't seem to have anyone in the Central Prohibition Palace who could get along with more.
She remembered her previous doctor, who had first looked up at the clouds in the sky and then quietly disappeared during the Sixth Twilight War.
She remembered the maid too. She thought she couldn't live up to the maid, but according to Gu's words...... I should hate Your Majesty, she thought.
She also remembered Lady Ogiri, who was terrible to her.
His Highness's face was so gloomy that he thought that His Highness was about to give in, and that he was about to make another great achievement.
This credit is by no means inferior to his adventurous examination of unregistered strange objects in the first place, and may become the foundation of his future life.
"But ......"
Chu Yun raised her proud head and stared at the world:
"Why should I choose between these?"
Shen Shang was stunned:
Select ...... What to choose? ”
"A free man ......," she said, "why should he be ecstatic and grateful to Dade because of the charity of the powerful, because the powerful have easily taken away their liberty and granted them freedom again?" ”
She threw the stone in her hand to the ground with all the force she could, and suddenly the rock cracked, expanding in all directions along the fragile texture of the stress, connecting with the textures and crevices that already existed.
The river water on the cliff suddenly seeped into the cracks in the rocks.
"Why ...... again" Chu Yun's mind kept coming up with Gu Chuan's answer to Yu Cun's question about her about the maid, "Now you have passed on two choices to me, and passed on the consequences?" Are these consequences, these choices, all natural and inevitable? ”
The stones kept falling to the ground.
The river has long since submerged the soil, rocks, or bushes and grass, and is dripping down the edge of the cliff.
He instinctively realized that His Highness was doing something terrible, he didn't know why His Highness didn't attack them, but he knew that His Highness had rejected the proposal.
Immediately, his face turned cold.
The herald rang the quake. Others are ready for battle. ”
Then he took out his curiosity.
This strange thing has been passed down from generation to generation by the chief inspector of the inspection department, and it is usually called the six eradications. The six eradications are shaped like long needles and can be hidden in the sleeve. The function of this strange thing is also simple, it is to pierce the human body, and then make the person fall asleep, and then pass out in an instant. If the needle penetrates more shallowly, the person can still have nightmares, and if the needle is more severe in an instant, the person can't even realize that he has been pricked, and he completely loses consciousness, as if his memory has been deleted.
Shen Shang was also a good hand at the Inner City Citizen Military School at the beginning, but now seeing this, he hurried forward, wanting to contact Chu Yun. His heart was full of resentment, but he didn't dare to tear his face with His Highness, so he only opened his mouth and said:
"Your Highness, please think about it! For your sake, the whole Sunset City is restless! ”
Who knew that Chu Yun only raised his hand and aimed it at the cliff at the bottom of his feet. The rocks, which were already unstable, are now even more fragile under heavy pressure.
"And why—"
The boundless invisible air, as if it was being breathed between the skin, quickly condensed, and released a wave of qi that rivaled the "wind from above" to the ground. The stone made a continuous resound, and the crevices in the rock that had accumulated years inside were on the verge of shattering.
She said:
"Do you need to do all this mundane and not choose to do something else, more, more fantastic?"
He still wanted to move forward, but the terrible broken gap made him jump backwards in a panic.
It's just a crevice in the rock that festers all the way to the riverbed on the cliff. The riverbed collapsed, branching off its tributaries. The overflowing water had burst completely, and the cliff had lost its last hindrance, and began to swirl and pour down into the dark depths along the crumbling terrain.
The heavens are angry, and the waters are rattling.
If all the creatures of the world are thrown off by mud, then the great flood of the mountains made of water and earth is to return all fragile things to their state of mud.
Hatsuyun let go of her body and let herself float in the endless air as light as a silver-white feather, the mist floating beneath her, and the raindrops kept falling on her, the big rocks below her, the small ones beside her.
She let go of her clenched hand, and the wrinkled feather came out of her hand and flew into the air fluttering, floating down with her.
"It's weird......"
Her bright gray eyes looked at the sky, which was gloomy and gloomy.
"If you think about it, there are so many things you don't understand...... It seems to be after your gift......"
She looked sideways slightly, her gaze penetrated the depths of the darkness, and she saw Gu Chuan who was opening her eyes below and looking at above. At that time, Gu Chuan was about to uncover his mask.
Now, what will His Majesty say about me?
According to what I know about "Mom", will Her Majesty beat me into a dungeon?
Because I became a ...... Bad people too.
She looked at the generation of the Prison Water Balloon below, and the eyes that were staring into the sky like the Prison Water Balloon, and Chu Yun unconsciously showed a smile:
"Now, as you wish."
