Chapter 10 The Good Lady
She is like a kind mother, she regards every living being who comes as her own child, and can't bear to hurt them in the slightest, but not all life is good, not all living beings are willing to accept the food she gives, and when some "children" extend their claws and teeth to other "children" and treat them as food, Ju Ji is very sad. So she asked for Luanniao's help. Luan Bird has a discerning eye, and is the most able to distinguish the mellow or tyrannical nature of living beings. Next to the gate of time and space, there is an extra bird to distinguish between good and evil.
According to the temperament and eating habits of the creatures, they are placed in various places in the nine hills, and the natural barriers of the lakes and rivers limit the range of activities of the creatures, these lakes and rivers are natural trenches formed between the land blocks, and the bottom is not visible, and the tidal force of several satellites superimposes the perennial waves in the lakes and rivers, which does block the range of activities of the land predators, but for the flying predators, the so-called moats are still useless. As the damage continues, a disheartened Ju Ji finally resolves to create a toxin in the berries that cannot be absorbed by vegetarians but can be stored in the body, which is harmless to vegetarians but poison to carnivorous creatures. The predators of Jiuqiu were either starved to death or poisoned by eating herbivores. Although Ju Ji couldn't bear it, she had to do it. In the end, only predators remained in the Godforsaken Lands, which were located in the depths of the Wufu Hill in the Sifang Mountains, surrounded by weak water, and a cage of chaos, fear, doom, and disaster.
Ju Ji closed the door to the "evil child", and Jiuqiu began to become stable and peaceful. Due to Ju Ji's paranoia about "goodness", the people who can be accepted by Jiuqiu are all vegans or omnivorous creatures who can become vegetarians, so the number of foreign life in Jiuqiu has grown very slowly. Since it is rare for a race to fall into space-time turbulence at the same time, the chance of a race not being separated in the turbulence and being able to come to Jiuqiu in a group is even smaller, and most of the creatures are cosmic orphans taken in by Ju Ji in a sense. Therefore, in the Jujiao era, it was impossible for more than ninety percent of the alien creatures to find mates here to reproduce the next generation. There is plenty of food here, there are no natural predators, and every individual has gained a long life here, but they have lived a single, loveless and sexless "single dog" life for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, eating and sleeping every day, and even can't find a person to communicate with, life is boring, and the only hope is that there will be a similar kind of person who lives here. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and there will always be some lucky ones in this world. For example, the crescent moon eight claws, this is a group of very timid and cowardly land creatures, once frightened, they will use their eight brachiopods to hug their kind tightly, when Ju Yao opened the door of time and space for them, the twenty-three eight claws formed a large ball with a diameter of five meters. Another type of lucky ones are the "broom heads", "banana peels" and "sticks" that kidnapped He Yafei, and because they are asexual breeding, they have also become one of the few lucky people in Jiuqiu. However, even for these lucky ones, the number of members of the group has increased unusually slowly. The food provided by the animals seems to have caused these creatures to change their gene expression in their bodies, and while they have lived a long life, the reproductive cycle has also become unusually long. Perhaps because of the fear of loneliness, or out of respect for the strong, many lucky people choose to attach themselves to humans after the arrival of humans and become human servants or partners.
"What a. "For the Holy, Li Xiang is not very cold, "Jiuqiu, in the final analysis, is a pet park used by Ju Ji to relieve loneliness and entertain herself, she treats foreign creatures, just like humans treat pets, this is not an equal kindness, but a condescending charity. She fears killing, but uses killing to ruthlessly deprive meat eaters of their right to live. She rescues the wanderers from the turbulence of time and gives them room to live, but also puts them in a cage. It's like...... Turning a death row prisoner from a suspended death sentence to a life sentence. ”
Mingshu said: "On the issue of good and evil, Ju Ji is indeed a bit clean, but since she was born, what has accompanied her and influenced her is only Luan Bird who can distinguish between good and evil. In this regard, Ju Ji is actually a blank slate, she can only follow her own heart, thinking that harm is 'evil', and it is understandable that she punishes evil and promotes good in her own way. She has only mastered the moral philosophy of our human enlightenment, just like a child, either good or bad, and you can't ask a child to think about complex philosophical questions like a master. ”
Li thought about it and nodded, he really didn't think clearly as Mingshu at this point. Human philosophical thought is the result of the collision of the ideas of countless wise men over thousands of years, and it is obviously nonsense to create a complex system of thought from a tree and a few birds, and a group of vegetarians who can barely communicate. If the white paper is not depicted, it will remain a blank paper for millions of years, as long as it is not corrupted.
In the Jiuqiu era, Jiuqiu was stable and boring, with little communication between different populations, and these cosmic orphans wandering in Jiuqiu lived a long and lonely life day after day, and over time, they found that their only pastime in Jiuqiu was to listen to the singing of the birds. There's an old saying on Earth that music knows no borders. If this sentence is put in Jiuqiu, it needs to be changed, and there is no population of music. From pure musical audiences to musical participants, these beings have undergone decades or even hundreds of years of metamorphosis before they truly become members of the choir. They never tire of singing, because it is the only joy that can be found in the dry Nine Hills, and the only means of intersecting with other populations. This singing is millions of years, life and death, many living beings have died, and many living beings have come to Jiuqiu, except for a few lucky people who have found their own clan or partner, most of the living beings are alone until death.
It wasn't until 120,000 years ago that this tedious life took a turn. That year, Jiuqiu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Qinglong, and Xuanwu formed a line, and the powerful tidal force of the four satellites made it almost impossible for Ju Ji to control the gate of time and space. To say that there is a five-star alignment every nine thousand two hundred and sixteen years, he has never paid attention to the tidal combination of the four moons. However, this year, Ju Ji felt a little powerless, and she understood that no matter sooner or later, her limit would eventually come. So she used the essence of her life's life to give birth to a seed, and let the bird be planted three hundred kilometers away, so Jiuqiu had a new building tree - Yuwan.
Yu Wan was born from her mother's life essence and grew rapidly, and in just 100,000 years, it had grown to 3,000 meters, and extended the root system to every corner of the Nine Hills. However, these 100,000 years are also the last 100,000 years of Ju Yao. At the end of her life, Ju Ji sealed her power in her body and waited for Yu Wan to inherit it. The inheritance of power is not easy to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, as long as Yu Wan completely integrates her root system and Ju Yao's root system together, Yu Wan can completely inherit her mother's power, but Jianmu's root system is so huge, it has been more than 20,000 years since Ju Wan died, even if Yu Wan is extremely talented, the fusion is only one-fifth.
In the past 20,000 years, there have been two five-star alignments, and in the face of the violent tidal force, without the help of her mother, the young Yuwan is so weak and helpless. The Gate of Time and Space was torn open by the tidal force, and the light emitted was like a lighthouse in the dark night, leading the flood beasts in the turbulence of time and space to an undefended anointed land. And so tragedy struck.
Eighteen thousand years ago, it was a group of monsters that broke into here, they were five or six feet tall, with huge heads and sharp teeth, strong and powerful hind limbs, running and shaking, but extremely fast, thick tails help them to grasp the balance well when running, the most peculiar point of this monster is that the forelimbs are unusually short. This army of predators consisting of nearly two hundred monsters nearly burst the portal as it poured into it. Yu Wan originally wanted to let them all enter the martial arts, but their huge size and huge number were not something that Yu Wan could control, these monsters were scattered all over Jiuqiu, and the first thing they did after waking up was to prey and kill. These monsters are the embodiment of tyrants, they don't just kill for food, they even kill for fun. Perhaps because they are too large and highly resistant to toxins in vegetarians. The weakest monster also died after devouring eighty-seven living beings. And the strongest one swallowed nearly 200 living beings to end its tyrannical life, plus the torture and killing of it, nearly 500 lives were buried in its sharp teeth. The disaster cost tens of thousands of lives to the tens of thousands of residents of Jiuqiu. After millions of years of breeding, there are more than 20,000 of them, and when they are targeted by monsters, they are often dozens or even hundreds of them hugging together, without the slightest resistance, waiting for the monsters to pounce and feast. This disaster blockbuster ends with all the invading monsters being poisoned and dying, and at this time, there are only five crescent claws left, and the largest group of Jiuqiu is almost wiped out.
The second time to deal with the five-star alignment alone, Yu Wan made full preparations, she knew that she still could not control the gate of time and space under the action of the tides, and could not turn away visitors, but when these uninvited guests passed through the gate of time and space, she already had the ability to control their whereabouts, she asked Luan Niao to help migrate the aborigines of Kunwu and Taotang, and these foreign visitors will live or die in these two places in the future, but it depends on their own creation. However, Yu Wan never expected that this group of guests would not bring killing to Jiuqiu, but change, and Jianmu Yuwan had a brand new Jiuqiu.
"Is this how your ancestor came to Jiuqiu from his hometown?"
"It's great-grandfather. He came earlier. Mingshu corrected.
Li remembered that Mingshu had mentioned that her great-ancestor had crossed over here when he was accompanying someone on an expedition, and he couldn't help blushing at his forgetfulness, and he tried hard to pat himself on the back, "I can feel that you are proud of him." ”
"Well, his greatest linguist, he changed Yuwan, and he also changed Jiuqiu. ”
"Tell his story. Li Xiang is full of interest in the story of this predecessor.
"The story of the great ancestor is very long," Mingshu looked at the sky, "It's a little late today, the temperature difference between day and night here is quite large, let's rest early, the coming day will be long." ”
Li Xiang looked up and saw that the red moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and the white moon had also set in the east, and the time was indeed not early. I also felt a chill on my body, and I was fascinated by what I heard just now, but now I found that I had goosebumps on my arms. Seeing that Mingshu had already stood up, Li Xiang got up with it, his body was still a little heavy, but I don't know if he was a little adapted to the gravity here, or because he ate the "black jade blue stream soup", his body was much lighter than when he first came. Li Xiang asked, "Red Moon Vermilion Bird, White Moon White Tiger, and two Moon Green Dragons and Xuanwu?"
"Yes, including all the place names, he also named them according to the Book of Mountains and Seas, and Yu Wan approved them, and these names were decided. ”
"Last question," Li Xiang subconsciously raised his hand, and suddenly realized that he was a little stupid in this action, and scratched his head twice, but made himself look more cramped. He once asked a question before, but he didn't get an answer, he didn't give up, "I don't have a sense of disobedience when I communicate with you...... Uh, I mean, there's no strangeness, talking to you made me almost forget that I was on a strange planet...... Uh, including what you're wearing...... It's all because of your brother?"
Mingshu nodded and said, "My brother knows the current earth civilization very well, and understands the culture and customs of various countries. In a way, you are also his acquaintance, and he has been with you for half a year. Li Xiang thought of the photo again.
"Is your brother Zhao Hejia?" he asked the question again with some stubbornness, and Mingshu just smiled slyly at him. Seeing that Mingshu still didn't mean to answer, Li Xiang didn't ask anymore. In his mind, that photo appeared strangely here, even if Zhao Hejia was not Mingshu's brother, it had nothing to do with her brother. He scratched his head again and asked, "How do you turn on and off the lights in the house?"
Mingshu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Xiang's movements, maybe she was familiar with it, this boy has become a lot more interesting, "The house is alive, you will know when you go in." After saying that, Mingshu said goodnight and turned around and entered his room.
When Li wanted to step into the room, the light turned on. Closing the door, the tired Li Xiang just washed up a little, and then lay down on the bed, the bed was moderately soft and hard, and the bed temperature was slightly lower than the body temperature, which was very comfortable. He thought of the "smart home" that is emerging on the earth, and compared with this "biological intelligence", it is not a star and a half.
He went through the questions he was going to ask tomorrow in his mind, and suddenly remembered that after telling the story of Yu Wan, Mingshu still did not explain why houses and dishes could grow on the ground. I was fascinated by what I heard just now, but I forgot about this stubble, this girl is too good at selling off. Li Xiang smiled and closed his eyes.
As Li Xiang fell asleep, the light in the room slowly dimmed, and the window film on the window became thicker and thicker, until the yellow and white moonlight was blocked out of the house.
