Chapter 1071 A Human Being Who Can Compete With God

Chang He looked at Jiang Chen and Shabi and said: "This story has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. After dictation from generation to generation, there may be some deviations in the middle, so you can listen to it in conjunction with the mural next to it."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked: "Did the ancestors rely on oral tradition?"

Chang He nodded and said: "That's right, and the reason for dictation is also related to the word 'connection' I just mentioned."

"We are all ears!" Jiang Chen laughed.

Chang He organized the language a little bit, and then began to tell: "I don't know how far back the story originated, but it was an era similar to the wild."

"In that era, human beings were only one of the masters of this world. Besides human beings, there were all kinds of powerful beasts. The beasts mentioned here are not the lions and tigers we saw in the zoo. It's the frescoes, the pillars, and these huge creatures on the ground."

"Are these real?" Sabi couldn't help asking.

Chang He spread his hands and smiled: "I don't know, I'm just responsible for telling you a story, as for how you analyze this story, that's up to you."

When Shabi grinned and wanted to say something, Jiang Chen interrupted him: "Okay, first listen to Chang He finish telling the story before you ask."

Chang He smiled, and continued: "In the barbaric era, there was no specific country. The whole land is roughly divided into three areas, one area is where humans live, and the other is the forest, swamp, and sea area where beasts live. .As for the last one, it was called the realm of the gods at the time."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen and Shabi glanced at each other, and then both looked at the murals on the wall.

Originally, they couldn't understand the content of the murals, but if combined with what Chang He said, they could vaguely see some ways.

At the same time, Chang He continued to narrate: "Human beings are divided into two major tribes, and each tribe also has some small branches, and there are disputes among them, but they are all just for the normal friction of survival. Their real enemy is Beast family."

"The division of beasts is very detailed. Generally speaking, it is not much different from the distribution of human forces. It's just that their division of levels is somewhat different from what we know. In that era, there were many dragons, but the status of dragons , but not the highest."

As he said, Chang He pointed to the mural: "These, I think you should be able to see from it that dragons in that era were like chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits today, everywhere."

"This is really strange." Sabi murmured.

Chang He nodded: "I also find it strange, but it is said in the story, and among the beasts, except for a few creatures whose names I can remember, most of them can't remember clearly.

It's not that their memory is poor, but that their names are hard to pronounce, and even if it's a word for beast, that word is difficult to write, and it's almost hard to find it in a dictionary. "

Jiang Chen stroked his chin and murmured: "I just looked at it, and the appearance of many beasts on the murals has never been recorded in the Shan Hai Jing. It must have been completely extinct in that era, or it must have passed through the changes of the times. It has undergone metamorphosis, just like some birds today evolved from dinosaurs in the Jurassic era!"

Chang He shrugged and smiled: "I don't know about these."

He paused, and then returned to the story: "What I just said was a general description of that era, and what I'm going to say next is something related to the Ascension to Heaven Corridor."

"Humans resist the attacks of beasts, and beasts stick to their own territory, and are also worried that humans will hunt them down. They have coexisted for many years in this situation of mutual defense and mutual fighting."

"I don't know how long it has passed, human civilization began to develop rapidly, and the survival of beasts became more and more difficult, so that the number of beasts began to gradually decline."

"The leaders of several major beast races, in order to prevent their respective bloodlines from being cut off, began to migrate with the beasts under their jurisdiction. Some went deep into the sea, and some sneaked into the mountains. into the realm of God."

"It may be a coincidence, or it may be that the gods want to balance the coexistence of beasts and humans. In short, the beasts that entered the realm of the gods have been transformed not long after. Not only have they become extremely ferocious, but they can also fly into the sky. Spit fire and ice into the ground."

While speaking, Chang He pointed to the mural on their left side: "As shown in the painting, after they came out of the realm of gods, they began to attack humans, robbed humans of their territory, and gradually included all beasts. their flag."

"Gradually, human beings began to retreat steadily, and the territory that was originally opened up gradually became less and less. On the contrary, beasts took advantage of this opportunity to reproduce wantonly."

"When mankind was facing the crisis of extinction, the two major tribes joined forces and sent people to sneak into the realm of the gods. However, the gods did not directly give them the power to become stronger, but instead made a deal with them."

"A deal between gods and humans?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

Chang He nodded and said: "That's right, the gods told humans that they want us to protect you, unless you build temples for us, worship us with incense and fire, and give us tributes every festival, and give us the spirit of faith." strength."

"Tsk."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen muttered unhappily: "How is this god different from that shameless profiteer!"

Chang He spread his hands: "To be honest, I think so too. When I hear these stories from my parents, I have a feeling that my three views have been subverted!"

"You continue!" Jiang Chen said.

Chang He nodded and said: "In order to survive, human beings, no matter how unwilling they are, have no choice but to agree. They cut wood to build houses, build temples, build golden bodies of gods, and bring people in the tribe to burn incense and pray."

"After feeling the sincerity of humans, although the gods did not break their promises, they did not give humans enough strength to deal with beasts as they said before. They just helped humans drive the beasts to remote corners of the wild."

"Human beings are quite unhappy, but they are also jealous of the gods. They can only continue to reproduce and worship the gods while swallowing their anger."

"After several generations or dozens of generations of reproduction, human civilization has become more advanced and its strength has become stronger. However, the gods have higher and higher requirements for human beings."

"From the initial offering of incense and offerings, to everyone's family after that, there must be a big offering in the hall, and even on the day of the god's birthday, a banquet needs to be set up, and people have to kneel down for three days to set off their aloofness."

As he spoke, Chang He pointed to the mural next to him: "The pictures we see now are the ones I just described."

Jiang Chen and Shabi turned their heads to look, and what emerged on the screen were human beings kneeling in front of some tribute tables. From the engraved pictures, they could clearly see that the faces of human beings were full of anger look.

Jiang Chen turned his head and asked, "Then, what does this have to do with Dengtianlang?"

Chang He pointed to the next mural and said, "Look here."

Jiang Chen stared at it, and there were many differences between the picture on this one and the one next to it.

It's also kneeling down, and the table is also full of food, but people's faces are full of smiles.

"What does that mean?" Sabi asked.

Chang He said: "After several generations of human development, there have been several existences that can compete with God!"

"An existence that competes with God?"

Hearing this, both Jiang Chen and Shabi showed expressions of surprise!
