"Rabbit, do you have a name?" Zhou Ming asked, lying on a rock, looking at a rabbit that was trying to devour purple qi.

It was still early in the morning, and the sun star had just begun to emerge, but the golden light had begun to occupy the gray sky.

On the other side, the Taiyin Star is also gradually sinking, but the silver sand hanging across the sky is still swaggering.

And whenever the sun and moon alternate, after the golden light and the silver sand meet, there will be a continuous purple gas spreading in the flood wilderness.

It is a kind of neutral and peaceful essence, which has both the vitality of the essence of the sun and the purity of the moon and the moon.

However, in terms of the strength of this purple qi essence, it was much weaker than the Sun Essence and the Taiyin Moon Flower alone.

Of course, this is not the point, the fundamental reason why Zhou Ming doesn't look down on this purple gas is that it has no taste.

No matter how much this purple qi is condensed, as long as it is entered, it will be directly nothing, just like taking a breath of air.

However, this purple gas still has advantages, that is, it is large in quantity and easy to absorb, after all, it will be there every morning.

Therefore, those desolate creatures who have detached themselves from the original creatures are very fond of these purple qi.

Zhou Ming has always been unable to figure out what standard these creatures that are detached from the original creatures?

Obviously, he didn't have any special skills, but he just didn't die with other people of the same kind, but survived strongly.

Then, gradually, he will absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and slowly gain a firm foothold in the flood wilderness.

"I don't have a name yet, it's only been 73 years since I was born, and the elders won't give me a name until I'm 100 years old. ”

The rabbit that spoke, about two meters in size, and a single horn on its forehead, was lying on the ground with its head tilted, trying to suck in the purple qi in the sky.

"So you're not even a hundred years old. I looked at the speed at which you devoured the purple qi, and I thought you were almost three hundred years old, you must be a genius. ”

Zhou Ming teased the rabbit, and the lack of progress in the experiment made Zhou Ming decide to go out for a walk, so he left the giant tree and came to the other side of Taiyin Lake.

It's different from the big tree, where there are basically no creatures to see except for Zhou Ming. On the opposite side, by the Taiyin Lake, is the place where those detached creatures gather and live together.

Although they didn't build houses or anything together, they also formed a simple society.

A primitive society made up of elders who guided the speech, mediated disputes, and gave names.

Naturally, the development here is inseparable from Zhou Ming.

It was not long after he first came to this forest, and Zhou Ming found the aborigines living in this forest.

Although they have attained eternal lifespan, their wisdom has not yet been fully unlocked.

With instinct to absorb the qi of heaven and earth, and then some magical abilities slowly appeared.

Although there was no hunting among them, they collided with each other, but there was no possibility of compromise at all, and they fought directly.

And although those small abilities are not seen by Zhou Ming, their lethality is not weak at all, one hit is a heavy blow, and if you do it again, you will die directly.

Of course, for a long time, there are always some individuals who have become strong and have survived, and in their respective areas, there is a certain deterrence.

And at that time, when Zhou Ming found those powerful individuals, among them, they had already begun to have simple language.

It's not Pangu, it's not Chinese or any other need. Even, this need, is not to speak with the throat, but to use the power of the body to vibrate and produce syllables.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ming also understood the reason, after all, the individual differences are too great, and all the common thing is the power of absorbing the essence in the body.

Although this forest can be said to be Zhou Ming's territory, at that time, Zhou Ming did not swagger in front of those creatures to show his strength.

Instead, he maintained a similar form to those creatures and blended into them.

Then, under the indirect guidance of Zhou Ming, that set of language gradually matured.

The maturity of language brings about the rapid perfection of wisdom.

And the complete wisdom provokes thought.

Make eyes look to the future.

So, Zhou Ming, together with those original creatures, began to teach other creatures how to speak, and also named them, some of them struggled, and some went to mediate.

The prototype of a civilization was slowly born.

Later, Zhou Ming was confused about what the Tao was, so he left and returned to the giant tree.

Then waiting for a flash of inspiration, Zhou Ming began a long experiment.

When Zhou Ming inadvertently remembered the prototype of civilization on the other side, he didn't know how long it was.

So, Zhou Ming secretly crossed the lake again.

only to find out that the years are really merciless at all. Civilization has developed, and although there is not much clear order, many creatures of the wilderness also follow some rules and live together.

However, the few desolate creatures who had sown the seeds of wisdom with Zhou Ming were all gone. Only some vague stories are left behind, passed down from generation to generation in the mouths of the creatures living by this lake.

"I'm not a genius. The sudden sound interrupted Zhou Ming's memories, Zhou Ming looked down at the rabbit that was not slacking off at all, and said, "Why do you say that, you are only 73 years old now, but the amount of purple qi you swallow is already comparable to the amount that other living beings swallowed when they were three hundred years old." ”

"That's because they're lazy. The rabbit's tone was not at all polite: "No dreams at all." ”

"Dream?" Zhou Ming raised his head, his fluffy tail brushed over his body, this rabbit is really interesting.

It was because I noticed before that the rabbit ran to a remote corner by Taiyin Lake at night to practice swimming, but was drowned half to death every time.

That's why Zhou Mingcai was very interested in following this rabbit.

"Do you have any dreams if you say that?" Zhou Ming asked along the topic.

"Of course there is. The rabbit was still opening its mouth to devour the purple qi, but the power in its body was vibrating and making a sound: "I want to grow up quickly, and then get the name from the elder, and then go to learn the divine pattern, and then, I want to go to the opposite side of Taiyin Lake, the World Tree." ”

"O World Tree. Zhou Ming remembered the self who once thought that the mountains around the island were the walls of the world. Also, such a giant tree, for the creatures living in this deep forest, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the World Tree.

"I can't get there. First of all, how are you going to cross this Taiyin Lake, and I heard that there are very terrible things on the World Tree. Zhou Ming shrank his head, looking scared.

"You don't have a dream. The rabbit looked at Zhou Ming with contempt: "I'm already practicing swimming, and when I learn it, I'm going to swim across this Taiyin Lake and climb to the top of the World Tree." Then see, how big the world is. ”

"Even if you go up, you can't see how big this world is. Zhou Ming muttered.

At this time, the last bit of the solar star has finally appeared, and on the contrary, the Taiyin star has completely disappeared. The purple qi in the sky slowly began to dissipate.

"Rabbit, do you know why there are so many giant trees and mountains in this world, and we can still clearly see the horizontal line where the Taiyin Star and the Sun Star rise and fall?" Zhou Ming stood on the stone, tilted his head, and his voice vibrated from his body.

"Isn't it natural to be able to see?" the rabbit kicked his legs and stood up on the ground. "I have something to do, so I'll go first. Then without waiting for Zhou Ming to respond, he directly turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

Only Zhou Ming, who was standing on the stone and looking up at the sun star, was left.

The golden sunlight of the early morning shone on Zhou Ming's body, his silver fur was shining, and then in the morning light, Zhou Ming spoke softly, as if the nearby world was whispering, accompanied by whispering, a rhythm spread.

"It's because it's a matter of course that it's worth looking for. ”
