Chapter 821: The Origin of Myth

Becoming complex is the truth of the universe. After things grow, because they keep becoming complex, they begin to be out of control by personal will, such as the development of the Xuanniao Tribe.

At the beginning, a small tribe with only 400 people was still a small tribe. By "pretending to be a ghost", Chen Kan could still use his fingers to the tribe as if he were armed, but when the Xuanniao tribe gradually became stronger, some things were no longer controlled by Chen Kan.

Just like what happened to some inventions after they were created, it has nothing to do with the inventor's will. For example, Edison invented the phonograph, and his idea was just to retain important words, such as a will, which he did not expect to be used in the music field.

After walking out of the mountains, the Xuanniao Tribe was like a snowball. The tribe began to grow bigger and bigger, becoming a large tribe, and becoming the most powerful tribe in the Bird Totem Tribe. However, this is not the end, it is just the beginning.

In the end, several large tribes in the Bird Totem Alliance were also annexed by the Xuanniao Tribe. Some of them were the Xuanniao Tribe who took the initiative to launch a war, but more of them were provoked by the other party because they were worried about the power of the Xuanniao Tribe. In the end, the person who failed to do so would be defeated.

In addition to the use of force, some tribes have completed mergers through relatively peaceful means, but they are only relatively peaceful, and bloody conflicts are indispensable. The reason is very simple, because the leaders of those weak tribes are unwilling to give up.

This is like the merger of colleges and universities mentioned earlier. It is not smooth sailing. Assuming that the history department of the Central Normal University needs to merge with the literature department, then the weaker history department leaders basically oppose it, because before the merger, the director of the history department, the secretary and the director of the literature department, the secretary were of the same level, but if the two parties merged, there could only be one director and secretary. The weaker history department was in a disadvantageous position, so they were naturally unhappy.

The same is true for the merger of tribes, so even if it seems to be a relatively peaceful merger, it also has a strong smell of blood. After continuous annexation and expansion, the territory of the Xuanniao Tribe expanded to the shore of the East China Sea, almost covering the entire Shandong, and now Henan and Hebei.

After integrating the Bird Totem Tribe Alliance, is things over?

It's far from it. This is still just a new beginning. The tribes of this alliance have been solved, but there are other totem tribes, such as the old rival Niu Totem tribe and Niu Totem tribe, which have also formed a relatively powerful core tribe. For example, the Youxiong tribe and the Gonggong tribe that are farther away, these are all powerful enemies.

However, these have nothing to do with Chen Kan anymore, because Chen Kan has no longer cared about the matter. Chen Kan has been in the position of co-lord for five years and has completed the basic unification of the Bird Totem Tribe, so he abdicated and handed over these matters to the next co-lord for handling.

Chen Kan is still the priest of the entire tribe, but the difference is that Chen Kan is the high priest rather than the only priest, and Chen Kan is still the person with the most slaves in the entire tribe.

After Chen Kan knew that there was a Youxiong Tribe and Gonggong Tribe in the distance, he left the Xuanniao Tribe because the names of these tribes are very familiar.

In the Youxiong tribe, a great man named "Huangdi", appeared in history, who was the ancestor of Chinese civilization. There is no need to say more about the word "gonggong", which is a very familiar mythical figure.

Chen Kan was very curious. He couldn't wait to verify what kind of plane this plane was, but the final result was disappointing. These were just two tribes, and they were not as mythical characters as Chen Kan imagined.

The Youxiong Tribe is a huge tribal alliance. The most powerful clan is the Gongsun clan. The co-lord of the tribe calls himself "Huangdi". This tribe has a very high level of civilization. In addition to being cheated by Chen Kan, the Youxiong Tribe is the most civilized tribe that Chen Kan has ever seen. There are cars, ships, and the music also has linen clothes.

The Gonggong Tribe is a tribe that is good at controlling water. The tribe's internal water conservancy system is quite developed. Not only that, Chen Kan also saw a series of tribes with mythological names, such as the Houtu Tribe and Zhurong Tribe.

In fact, this is the prototype of mythological stories. Mythological stories and mythological characters are not made up. Otherwise, there would not be a special discipline in the discipline of anthropology that studies mythology. Almost every mythological character and story has an archetype, and what Chen Kan saw is the prototype of Chinese mythology.

The Youxiong tribe had the most developed civilization, and the co-lord was called "Huangdi". Therefore, in the future, people put all these inventions and achievements on a person called "Huangdi". In fact, this person is the name of the co-lord of this tribe.

The Gonggong tribe is good at controlling floods, so Gonggong is regarded as the "water god" in mythology. Some mythologists suggested that Gun and Dayu may have originated from the Gonggong tribe, because in history, Gun had caused floods due to unfavorable flood control. There is a saying in ancient books about Gun's death that "Yao ordered Zhurong to kill Gun at Yushan." This record just fits the mythology. The CCP Gonggong fought against Zhurong. After the defeat, Gonggong was angry and attacked Buzhou Mountain and caused floods to spread.

Chen Kan, the Zhurong tribe, also saw it. He was next door to the Gonggong tribe. Because they were approaching each other, wars often occurred for the benefit of the two tribes. The totem that Zhurong believed in was a grass, which was not an ordinary grass. This was the grass used to ignite and store fire seeds.

In addition to these, there are other things, such as the Houtu Tribe. This tribe is good at architecture and has the most magnificent earthen city walls. In the era when most tribes lived in thatched huts, the Houtu Tribe already had a large number of earthen houses, so "Houtu" became a representative of "earth" in mythological stories. Moreover, this tribe maintained the ancient traditions of many matriarchal clans. The common ruler of this tribe was a woman, which also explains why Houtu was a woman in mythology.

These things prove one thing, that is, this plane is a very ordinary plane, which may be the Neolithic Age five or six thousand years ago in the real world. There were no mythical characters at all, and the so-called "priests" did not have a way to communicate with ghosts and gods, they were just intellectuals in the tribe.

So why did the cruise ship choose this plane for Chen Kan?

What is the purpose?

Since you cannot improve yourself in this plane, do you have to leave?

Chen Kan finally didn't choose to leave, and would continue to stay. Chen Kan believed that the cruise ship would not choose such a "useless" plane for himself for no reason. Why not take a look again. As a historian, is there anything more exciting than being able to participate in history or even change history?

Anyway, there is still a lot of time.

Chen Kan also went to "visit" the Niu Totem Tribe Alliance. Chen Kan also saw a familiar name in the Niu Totem Tribe Alliance. The most powerful one in the Niu Totem Tribe Alliance is the Jiang clan. The co-lord of this tribe alliance is called "Yan Emperor".

The farming technology of this tribe is the most developed. It has used slash-and-burn cultivation to plant crops, and it also has a relatively high level of medical skills. This is the source of the story of "Shennong" tasting hundreds of herbs and planting grains in the mythology. Moreover, Shennong is a human being in a cattle head in the mythology.
