5.33 Mystery of the Ancients, Skinning War Part 2
How to say it?n∈n∈, humans in this era have not yet divided their emotions too delicately.
Friendship, family, love, and love are not so obvious. Whether it is cognition or taste for feelings, they are not delicate enough.
Therefore, the relationship between two same-sex people is also considered a fixed emotional bond. Then, you should live together. Reproduction and reproduction are the content of another part, which has nothing to do with feelings. It is more like a job.
That's right, in the early days of this era, humans separated their feelings and fertility. They did not reproduce with the person they loved the most, but with the most suitable person.
Yes, because of the evil spirit.
In this era, there are no pure beasts.
The ferocious beasts from the ancient lineage and the many descendants they reproduced were the main carnivorous humans. Because of the characteristics of beastization, early humans had enough immunity to the demonic energy in their food. However, they could not resist the demonic energy released by themselves when the beastly nature was 'birdly developed'. Yes, the demonic energy was actually released by themselves.
At this time, the beastly part of the body will begin to grow, devouring the normal torso and tissue around it, turning early humans into beastly humans, that is, the legendary orcs.
It can also be said that the origin of ancient orcs was from early humans.
Another thing that must be said is the union of close relatives.
It seems very common in this era. It is also because of the indiscrimination between family affection and love that the union of close relatives is also a very common phenomenon. It is also very recognized in the secular world, just like eating when you are hungry and drinking water when you are thirsty. It is very natural and nothing special (you all go to ancient times, please).
More than half a month of in-depth life gave Wu Chen a more intuitive impression of the beastization of early humans. Especially when he saw an early human with a big beastly nature, which could be described as horror, Wu Chen suddenly thought of the estrus period that is common in the animal world.
Animals in the estrus are full of mating. They can do anything for this. Any cruel and bloody behavior can be performed without any restraint during the estrus.
As mating progresses, then it becomes beastly.
Finally, they were slaughtered by the city guards.
After the guards finished cleaning the battlefield, Wu Chen picked up a bamboo tube similar to his body from the corner. Inside was the exhausted ashes of incense.
The Shikigami in the cave also had preliminary answers to the incense extinguishing in his bamboo tube. These flame essence stones have the function of absorbing demonic energy. They will also be consumed continuously in the process of removing poison and eventually fail. In other words, the incense extinguishing in the bamboo tube is a consumable. They must be replaced in time after use.
How long will it take to run out? The answer given by Shikigami is three times.
After three times of sex, you have to change it. Referring to the price of one tube and two pallets, it is very expensive.
Humans in this era have already gained faith. Nuwa.
The tallest building in the city is the Nuwa Temple.
This is the first time Wu Chen has seen the temple of ancient gods. Most of the temples in later generations are Buddhas and Taoisms. The original gods are basically mountain gods and lands that are circulated in local areas. And so on. Ancient gods such as Fuxi and Nuwa have been gradually forgotten.
It’s like an ancient divine beast being held back into a wild beast by the increasingly thinning spiritual energy, and the mechanics began to create mechanics to replace them. The talisman used to make mechanics in later generations was called divine patterns in this era. It was engraved on the body of the ancestors.
Whether it is the secret seal or the beast-faced divine pattern, they are different expressions of spiritual talismans. The essence is the same. There may be two reasons why later generations engraved spiritual talismans on mechanical instruments. The human body in later generations is far less than that of ancestors. The five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is far less rich than that in ancient times.
Therefore, from ancient ferocious beasts to mechanical beasts, from ancient divine patterns to secret seals, humans have completely inherited the brain nerve endings from the great god Pangu, and the "spiritual talisman" that was first burned by the great god Fuxi.
Simply put, the talisman is a complex circuit derived from a small piece of brain nerve of Pangu. This circuit was engraved on the body of the ancestors in ancient times and was called: beast-faced god pattern. When it came to the era of the piano, the circuit was engraved on the mechanism and was called: secret seal.
The complete and complex secret engraving was successfully cracked by the authorities and split into simple circuits, called secret engraving lines. It is like the most basic functional circuit in a complex circuit diagram. Each secret engraving line has the simplest and most basic function. It is intuitive to express that each secret engraving line has a unique attribute, such as "armor-breaking", "light body", "freak wind", etc.
The person who discovered and recorded the brain nerve endings of Pangu for the first time was Fuxi. He also named these powerful brain nerve endings: spiritual talismans. Out of his admiration for the great god Fuxi, his ancestors respected the spiritual talismans as divine talismans. As ancient gods gradually disappeared from human vision, and their spiritual energy became increasingly thin and their spirituality became increasingly dull, the current mechanism is also renamed the energy talisman.
The change from spiritual talisman-divine talisman-energy talisman, and the name just echoes the changes of ferocious beast-divine beast-wild beast. It also conforms to the reality that the spiritual energy is constantly thinning and the spirituality of wild beasts is absent.
What I gained the most in this adventure should be the completion of the entire Qinzhongjie system.
Wu Chen has successfully spliced the origin of the mechanism and the history of the most important secret method to engrave threads (well, system. If you don’t create a high-quality system, Xunxiang will not be able to get along with him... Please forgive the author’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, friends).
It is not easy to come to Xigu City. Wu Chen said that he would visit the Nuwa Temple no matter what.
Compared to the magnificent temples in later generations, I wish I could have the gilded temples, Nuwa's temple was simple and terrifying. Everything was natural, without a trace of decoration. Even the stone statues standing in the middle of the temple seemed purely natural. It was impossible to see Nuwa's original appearance at all.
Wu Chen could tolerate other ancient styles. But the statue of the god... this is just a stone, okay?
Wu Chen, who was unique, was also recognized by the temple priest at a glance from the crowd.
"Young man, why did he frown when he sees his mother?"
Wu Chen replied subconsciously: "This is not the Mother Goddess, it's just a stone."
"Haha..." The temple priest smiled: "The mother god changes seventy times a day. Why can't it be a stone?"
"..." Wu Chen then reacted and looked back and saw that the person who spoke was a temple priest wearing a thick robe and a yellowish complexion. Surprisingly, he also had black eyes, which were completely different from the colorful beast eyes in the city.
"Why do Nvwa want to create a human being?" Wu Chen asked in the rare opportunity.
"According to the will of heaven." The temple priest stared at Wu Chen's eyes and replied. Compared with the early humans, Wu Chen had the wisdom of evolving more years.
"So, is it the birth of human beings 'God'?"
"No, it is the will of the Mother God who was born." The temple priest said solemnly.
"'God will' is to give birth to intelligent creatures, and Nuwa chose to give this opportunity to humans." Wu Chen thought for a while.
The temple priest laughed and said, "You already have the answer."
"Is that true?" Wu Chen wanted to figure it out very well.
"No one knows what it is." The priest took a hemp rope about three feet long, slightly thinner than his little finger, and was filled with fragrance, and handed it to Wu Chen. "Burn a piece of incense rope for the mother god."
"Okay." It is necessary to burn incense.
After the incense rope was lit, the priest signaled Wu Chen to sit down with him.
Retracting his gaze from the rising smoke, Wu Chen sighed: "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."
"Because I haven't seen what the mother god looks like."
"Well." Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "I heard that Nuwa has created humans for many years. It was not until the end that she was about to be perfect. However, when I came here, I realized that it seemed that something was wrong."
"What's wrong?" the priest asked again.
"Look, the goddess is no longer there. But the perfect humans have not appeared. What about those perfect humans who will not be eroded by demonic energy in the future?"
"Haha..." the priest smiled: "Unless the monster dies, how can there be no human beings that will not be eroded?"
Wu Chen was shocked: "So, the perfect human being does not actually exist."
"Only by resolving the nature of beasts can we strengthen human nature." The priest smiled.
Wu Chen understood: "I understand."
It turns out that early humans are essentially no different from late humans. The only change is to hide the animal nature that grows on the surface in your heart.
Wu Chen, the temple priest who was talking to him, didn't know whether it was the real priest of Nuwa or his own mirror. The priest actually didn't answer the questions he asked. These answers seemed to have been buried in Wu Chen's own heart. He just said it through the priest's mouth.
After leaving the Nunwa God Temple, Wu Chen went to the towering city lord's mansion.
If you have to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit brides before you can meet the city lord, then sign up.
Fortunately, most of the people who signed up were women. Women in this era had extremely strong physiques. And they did not have as many restrictions as in later generations. They liked to have a shot, but didn’t like to cut a knife. They came and went like the wind, and were very free.
In this era, the seeds of power have sprouted, the division of labor is gradually refined, and society has begun to be stratified.
Here is a professional fake mother who has disappeared in later generations and has gradually emerged recently. She is a woman who gave birth to a child for others, which is somewhat similar to the current surrogate mother.
It is said that if you have sex with her, you won’t be able to turn beasts into animals. Wu Chen hasn’t tried it, so I don’t know if it’s the case.
There are many people coming to respond, both men and women, and their expressions are very natural. Several familiar men and women are still joking loudly. Judging from the words, their relationship is really...natural.
According to the rules, only the final winner can meet the city lord. In groups of two, the battle begins soon.
The combat skills of early humans were already very exquisite. Bronze weapons were also perfect. When we went back and forth, the battle was fierce.
The easiest one is Wu Chen's side. He always cuts his opponent with a casual knife and helmet. He has an overwhelming advantage against early humans without divine patterns.
After defeating the last opponent, Wu Chen finally got the chance to meet the city lord.
