192. Chinese New Year's Eve (Part Right: Body Hair and Skin)
"We humans don't have a clear image, and at that time, the incarnations of some powerful demon beasts and the like were also the same, so it was easy to be confused, and where could we distinguish them with the naked eye. Yao'er, think about it, in the face of various shapes, if our ancestors didn't use the magic eye, how could they distinguish between demon beasts and humans?"
"Smell!"
"How do you know?"
"Many books have recorded that monsters are fishy things. ”
"Yes! The breath of a human being is clear, and the breath of a demon beast is turbid, and no matter how you transform it, you can't change it. And the heavier their animality, the stronger the fishy smell. ”
"What about the demon's breath?" Lin Yao suddenly didn't know why, and asked boldly for some reason.
"Demon ......" Duanmu Qi paused, looked at Lin Yao and thought of the daffodil demon, and thought that he understood the demon at a young age, and it was not the same as the demon beast. Humans often refer to non-humans as monsters and the like, but in fact, the difference between demons, demons, monsters, and beasts is huge. At this moment, Duanmu Qi wanted to explain, but it was difficult to explain clearly, "The demon's breath is a bit difficult to say, and when your cultivation arrives, you will naturally be able to sense it." ”
"Oh. Lin Yao knew how to be measured, so he didn't ask any questions.
"Or go back to that flood era, everything was very disordered, and when Nuwa Niangniang planned the four seas and nine continents, she looked at the world and felt that we human beings should also have a standardized image. She thought! We human beings are the essence of heaven and earth, so we should have the most perfect image of heaven and earth!" Duanmuqi said this, looking very proud.
"Hmm!" Lin Yao nodded proudly.
Nuwa Niangniang worked hard for this image, comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, turned over and over seventy changes, and finally got a complete human appearance. Then she kneaded the soil and finely created two molds, male and female, and called on everyone in the world to transform according to this. Fuxi and Nuwa also set an example, and since then they have evolved the tail of the dragon and traveled all over the world. ”
At this moment, Duanmuqi thought that Lin Yao would have a strange reaction, but although Lin Yao listened carefully at this moment, his face was full of calm. However, Lin Yi, Fang Fei, as well as Ming Xiang and Nian Yi all showed surprise on their faces.
For children, and even for ordinary people, it is surprising enough to hear that Fuxi and Nuwa have evolved their own dragon tails. However, for Lin Yao, who was born as a frog clan, it was natural to evolve his own tail. It's just that human beings have never had a long tail since Fuxi and Nuwa evolved their tails, and the frog clan has to go through such an evolution in every life so far.
"After Fuxi and Nuwa evolved into a complete human form, the second son was born and named 'Dian', that is, 'Shaodian'. Yao'er, let's talk about it, what is the meaning of the word 'dian'?"
"The standard is also ......"
"Then Yao'er, let's talk about it, where does the meaning of the 'standard' of the word 'classic' come from?"
"It's because of the name of 'Shaodian'!"
Shaodian is the first person in the world, born in human form, so it has exemplary standard significance. Therefore, the appearance of Shaodian, that is, the standard image of human beings, is perfect and typical. "Saying the text and interpreting the words" cloud: 'The word is a word, and the words are soaked in milk. This is the case with the "less" canon, the later "year" is like this, and the monster "xi" is also like this, which breeds meaning because of the name, so as to derive more meaning. ”
Lin Yao has lived from that era to the present, even if he has not seen the birth of Shaodian with his own eyes, of course he believes that what his aunt said is true. The human beings before Fuxi and Nuwa have long since passed away, and if there are still remains underground that have been excavated by the world, they will definitely have human heads and various body shapes, and there will definitely be no human body bones.
In fact, there are tens of thousands of years of remains, and doctors call all kinds of "dragon bones" into medicine, dragon-shaped ones are rare, and human-shaped ones are really not found.
"Besides, the incarnation of monsters and beasts has always liked to imitate us humans, and it is inevitable that the perfect image created by Nuwa Niangniang will be imitated. Of course, if it is so easy to be imitated in place, it is not a perfect image, since the birth of Shaodian, not to mention the breath of our human beings, not to mention the mysteries of heaven and earth that all parts of our human bodies fit, that is, our hair and skin, they also do not want to imitate the charm. Do you know what kind of mystery is contained in our unique human hair and skin?"
"Auntie, let's talk about it!" Lin Yao had some memories in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply.
"You answer me two questions first. Duanmuqi's eyes were shining.
"Then ask!"
"What color is the sky?"
"Xuan. Lin Yao looked out the window at the night sky.
"What color is the ground?" Duanmuqi asked with a slight bow.
"Yellow. ”
"Why did Yao'er answer so sure?"
"The beginning of "Thousand Words" clearly said: Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate!" Lin Yao replied like a stream, but in fact he was quite conservative. In the first two stories, Lin Yao realized that he had listened too indulgently, and felt that he should still be more restrained under his aunt's nose, so he cited the Mengxue reading book "Thousand Character Text" as evidence, instead of bringing up the original source of "Tianxuan Dihuang" "I Ching".
"Very good, Yao'er, look at it, what color is our hair and skin?" Duanmuqi stretched out his arm and flicked the green silk.
"Xuanhuang ......" Lin Yao looked at his aunt's hair and skin, then at his father's hair and skin, and then at his own hair and skin, and couldn't help but admire: "After my aunt's reminder, I saw that my hair and skin can be the same color as heaven and earth, which is really wonderful!"
"Huh. Duanmuqi smiled and nodded, "Yes! The color of our human hair and skin is the true color of heaven and earth. ”
"The true colors of heaven and earth, no wonder those monsters can't imitate it. Lin Yao felt it.
These words seem to be very reckless, but in fact they are subtle, at this moment, Lin Yao's feelings in his heart are very deep, very deep, but in front of his aunt who is like a torch, how can he show it without reservation?
Lin Yao personally experienced the era when Nuwa created people, and he still remembered that she and the great god Fuxi walked the world in a new image, thus shocking the six and eight wildernesses, setting off a wave of imitation by the entire demon world. As a result, it imitates all kinds of hair and skin, and the real human image has become an eternal legend in the demon world: black hair, that is the color of the king!
Demon beasts and the like are congenitally lacking earth souls, and no matter how perfect the new image of human beings is, it seems to them to be very hazy beauty, but the firmament-like hair color impresses them the most. When his aunt said the mystery of human hair and skin, Lin Yao thought of the imitation of those demon beasts, and felt that it was very ridiculous. It's really ridiculous, but Lin Yao put it all in his stomach, and thought of the books he had read, and knew in his heart that human beings were sometimes too lazy to care about all kinds of monster beasts, so they all called it disdainfully: miscellaneous hair!
Of course, a demon cultivator with ideals like Lin Yao has never classified himself as a beast, and he has nothing to do with miscellaneous hair. Because the hair and skin that belongs to human beings, although it cannot be imitated, it can be cultivated.
If it weren't for my aunt talking about it tonight, Lin Yao really didn't have such a clear understanding in the past, even if he had cultivated the same hair and skin as a human nine thousand years ago, he really didn't realize the mystery contained in it. At present, Lin Yao naturally understands that all living beings can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to form a demon pill and reach the ultimate state, so they can completely remove the impurities in their bodies, and they can transform into shapes smoothly.
It's just that all the creatures under the heavens, countless people have become essences and enlightened minds, and how many of them have really formed demon pills? The true colors of heaven and earth, Lin Yao deeply felt what a glory it was!
"The body is skinned, the parents are received, and it is great to think about our ancestors. Duanmuqi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, relieved his mind and then fastened, "From the time of the flood to the present, how many bloody storms have been experienced, and the heroic footprints have been left in the past 10,000 years, turning the world upside down, and the vicissitudes of life, our true colors are still the same." ”
"It's human and non-human, it's easy to tell. Lin Yao smiled brightly and was very childish.
"Yes! In the world of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, we human beings are distributed all over the world, for example, we Chinese live in the land of Shenzhou, and the Yuren live in the land of Yizhou. Duanmuqi said leisurely, "Of course, whether it is the Chinese Yu people or the Miao people, the Qiang people, and the Su Shen people, we can see the most fundamental tradition of our human beings from life, that is, to respect the heavens and respect the ancestors." ”
"Respect for the heavens, respect for the earth, respect for the ancestors. Lin Yao realized that human traditions have roots and are of far-reaching significance.
"Okay, that's all for the story of Nuwa's creation of man!" Duanmuqi's demeanor is elegant and chic.
It's extraordinarily peaceful, Lin Yao still has a lot of things he wants to hear, such as the mystery of heaven and earth where all parts of the human body fit, and what kind of mystery does it contain?
Keeping the New Year tonight, Lin Yi has been silent, but he listened quite seriously, because the story of Nuwa's creation of people, punishment of heaven, and Chinese New Year's Eve is not absurd and bizarre like folklore, and the living dragon is indeed more shocking.
At this moment, after listening to the story of Nuwa's creation of man, Lin Yi's heart was stirred, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the sentence in Qu Yuan's "Tianwen": "Nuwa has a body, who is the craftsman?", Erudite as Qu Fuzi, he couldn't understand the big question, but he heard the answer tonight.
Lin Yi is mouth suddenly opened, and his heart suddenly brightened.
It was late at night, Lin Yao stretched his waist, it was time to rest, rest.
