Gu Qingshan looked at his hands.
After the sharpening of the two sharp stones was completed, the skin on his hand was broken a little and blood oozed out.
And some of the long black hair on his arms also fell off.
--How is this going?
Could it be that doing things that promote the progress of civilization will lead to slight evolution?
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
on the hill.
The apes roared one after another.
They waved torches in an attempt to scare off the huge saber-toothed tiger.
However, the saber-toothed tiger only retreated slightly, and when it was really forced, it circled around and returned to its original position.
Normally, as long as the prey finds its tracks in advance, the saber-toothed tiger will usually give up the hunt.
But today, it seemed determined to eat a few apes.
Seeing the saber-tooth tiger's attitude, the apes became obviously nervous.
They shouted loudly and made driving gestures behind them.
Immediately, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were driven into the cave.
Only the youngest and strongest apes remained on the hillside outside, preparing for a life-and-death fight with the saber-toothed tiger.
The ape-man "prophet" was also invited.
He looked at the current situation with a look of boredom on his face.
Gu Qingshan jumped down from the tree, approached him, and whispered: "How do you usually deal with it?"
Know first: "If this beast doesn't leave, it must be because he wants to eat the ape man especially today. It seems that he must fight for it."
Gu Qingshan said: "The No. 2 Holy Chosen One was struck to death by lightning. Do you know where the No. 1 Holy Chosen One is?"
"What do you want to do?" asked the prophet.
"Cooperating with him will make our progress much faster." Gu Qingshan said.
"The entrance chosen by Saint No. 1 is not from my side." Know first.
Gu Qingshan was slightly startled.
yes.
This is the entrance to the chosen ones in the human world.
Apart from here, there must be other entrances to the world of reincarnation.
"You are the boss here, why don't you assign me to fight that saber-toothed tiger?" Gu Qingshan said.
Since the other Holy Chosen Ones are not here, he must hurry up.
The old goblin gave himself three hours of goblin luck.
——I must win the recognition of all the apes as quickly as possible.
This will make it easier to do the next thing.
The prophet looked at him and understood immediately.
The prophet raised the wooden stick in his hand, pointed at the saber-toothed tiger not far away, nodded at Gu Qingshan, and said loudly: "You, go deal with that beast!"
Gu Qingshan walked out from behind him, passed all the apes, and strode towards the saber-toothed tiger.
He first walked, then changed to a trot, moving his arms as he ran.
He didn't have a stone hammer or a torch in his hands, just a stone in each hand.
The saber-toothed tiger looked warily for a while, his eyes quickly filled with murderous intent.
——Only one ape-man?
Just an ape-man wants to deal with him?
Sabretooth felt insulted.
It took a deep breath——
Roar! ! !
The saber-toothed tiger roared extremely fiercely.
The moment it opened its mouth, Gu Qingshan threw a stone!
The stone hit the saber-toothed tiger's mouth like a cannonball.
The howl was immediately interrupted.
The nearly ten-meter-long body of the saber-toothed tiger pressed heavily on the grass, making a muffled sound.
——It died before it even had time to react.
There was silence.
Suddenly, the apes burst into cheers.
A burly ape-man ran up first and shouted: "This is impossible! A stone cannot kill such a beast!"
Gu Qingshan said: "You are right."
He stepped forward and opened the saber-toothed tiger's mouth.
I saw a big hole opened deep in the saber-toothed tiger's mouth, and blood and serous fluid were slowly flowing out.
Gu Qingshan casually took out another sharp stone and showed it to all the apes who came up.
"As long as the stone is sharpened, it can pierce the skin of beasts and hurt them severely!" Gu Qingshan said loudly.
The apes looked at the stone in his hand, and then at the huge saber-toothed tiger corpse.
Many ape-men looked thoughtful.
…
Two days later.
Gu Qingshan squatted on the tree and looked not far away.
A cheetah broke into the ape people's territory.
This time, in addition to stone hammers, the apes also had another weapon.
--Stone spear.
Tie a branch to a sharpened stone and it becomes a spear.
Gu Qingshan watched quietly for a while.
The apes were obviously used to using stone hammers, and were a little awkward and panicked about using spears to fight.
——They can't kill with one hit.
The cheetah was stabbed by the stone spear and felt an unprecedented threat. It immediately took advantage of its speed and ran away quickly.
The apes cheered again.
Although the cheetah could not be left behind, defeating the opponent so easily was something that was unimaginable before.
They formed a circle, sang and danced, celebrating their victory.
Gu Qingshan watched for a while, jumped off the tree, turned around and walked towards the cave.
The prophet still stayed deep in the cave, sitting in front of the fire, smoking a long cigarette made of leaves out of boredom.
"You have done a good job, why are you still looking sad?" the prophet asked.
"Is this good?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"You have passed through countless apocalypses, various monsters, and countless tombs, and you still have to know the specific location to get here - you did it."
The prophet blew out a puff of smoke and continued: "Also, apes have begun to consciously process tools, which was unimaginable before. The entire ape civilization is on the road to rapid development."
Gu Qingshan raised his arm.
The long black hair on his arms has faded a little, but to a very small extent, far less than when he first made a sharp stone.
Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "It took only two days to make five stone spears. During the process of making and using them, three apemen were injured - I want to be completely proficient in using the spears so that they can be used There is still a long way to go to fight a large beast."
"You can teach them some basic attacks with pole weapons - that way, it will probably be faster." Know first.
"But how much faster can it be? There are too many things to learn, and apes are not yet civilized, do not understand writing, and do not understand the basic laws of the operation of all things. Sometimes they can only express their consciousness through shouting."
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh again, and continued: "Even if I continue to teach them something - if they want to enter a higher civilization, it will take several generations. This is at least a journey that lasts hundreds of years. process, my evolution will become a long process together with them."
The prophet burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect that the Chosen Ones would have to bear this 'prophet' status like me."
"——I have been here for hundreds of years. During this time, I have been surrounded by these ignorant guys. Even if I want to teach them something, they can't understand it. They will only record what I say. Consider it a classic.”
"But with their knowledge and knowledge, they simply won't understand the truth I'm telling you."
"How lonely it is!"
He laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, and tears came out of his eyes.
Gu Qingshan looked at him and waited until his mood stabilized a bit before asking, "So I'm wondering if you did something wrong."
"Huh? What do you mean?" the prophet asked doubtfully.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and said: "I remember you said something to me before -"
"You said that because of the mistakes you made in the past, you were punished to stay in this primitive primitive era, in the body of an ancient ape."
The prophet nodded: "That's right."
"And you have always stayed in this era. You have never been to other eras, and you don't know how to escape from this ancient prison." Gu Qingshan said.
"Yes, what on earth are you going to say?" the prophet couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qingshan waved his hand to signal him not to ask, and continued:
"Your duty is to tell the Chosen Ones that they must promote the process of civilization so that they can reach the ultimate stage of civilization from the earliest era, and then awaken the human world."
"Yes." Know first.
"In other words, the Holy Chosen One must continue to progress through the times." Gu Qingshan said.
"You can also say that." Know first.
"So, how does the Six Paths of Reincarnation determine the progress of civilization? What are the signs?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The prophet was startled.
"You are imprisoned in this era, imprisoned in the body of an ancient ape - but if the times progress, you are still a prisoner - will you become a human, or will you still be the body of an ancient ape?" Gu Qingshan asked road.
The prophet opened his mouth and hesitated: "I only know that it is my task to convey the message... Do you think that I, a prisoner in the ignorant era, am also a hint of the Six Paths?"
Gu Qingshan looked at him quietly and nodded.
The prophet stood up suddenly and said loudly: "What on earth did you think of? How to leave this era? Tell me quickly!"
Gu Qingshan said: "I have made it very clear."
Know first: “But I don’t understand!”
Gu Qingshan said: "The Six Paths of Reincarnation have allowed us to advance civilization from the age of ignorant apes, but we have not said what to use as the criterion. This will cause a huge problem -"
"Actually, you should know that as a civilization, we have different 'sides'."
"At many critical moments in history, technology will be more adaptable to human requirements, thereby defeating low-level cultivation; in other appropriate historical opportunities, magic may defeat technology; and in other cases, martial arts may be able to kill magic; Not to mention those mysterious and bizarre civilizations——"
"In short, nothing is certain. Many subtle events may determine the direction of the entire civilization and which side it ultimately belongs to."
"So, what's the standard?"
The prophet was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Yes, what exactly is the standard?"
Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "This step will eliminate many people. They will not think that you are actually the standard of the Six Paths."
"Me?" Know first.
"Yes, you are trapped in the body of an ape, so you are trapped in this primitive era of apes, then... maybe the standard is this body?" Gu Qingshan said.
"Body? My body is indeed my prison, but if the body is used as the standard to judge the level of civilization, how can I get rid of the ape-man's body?" the prophet wondered.
Gu Qingshan whispered: "If you want to get rid of the prison of your body, you must first think about which side you want to go, and then you can break away from the prison of the original place and go to a certain civilized future."
"It's a really interesting thing."
He took out a branch and drew a rune on the ground.
"This rune represents magical civilization. It is the most basic water condensation method, which allows water vapor in the air to condense on the rune."
"You want to show off a miracle?" Know first.
"No, I did not claim to be a god, nor did I confuse all living beings - the rune I drew comes from the laws of nature and is the cornerstone of magical civilization. Like the stone spear I made, it is an ancient The civilization standard of the human race." Gu Qingshan said.
The Seer looks at that rune.
I saw small drops of water condensing on the surface of the runes.
He gradually understood something, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to——"
"Whether it is what I guessed, I will know soon." Gu Qingshan said.
The two of them looked down at the runes and waited quietly.
The next moment.
Lines of small scarlet characters flashed in the void:
"Congratulations, you have understood the secret of the Six Paths."
"Every era is a tomb of the past. The six paths use this to seal the real human world so that it is under the strictest protection."
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with promoting the development of the entire civilization, although the process is very long."
"But some people will notice another test of the Six Paths. He will understand the secrets of the human tomb and jump directly among the tombs of various civilizations in order to get to the ultimate tomb faster."
"Using the body as a prison and civilization as a means to escape from the prison is one of the means to pursue the ultimate civilization."
"You are about to leave the Tomb of the Beginning and move on."
Gu Qingshan was in a daze for a while.
He felt that he was separated from the ape-man body, and his soul was floating in the void, flying in various directions.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a very long time.
Gu Qingshan suddenly felt himself landing on solid ground.
This is a large and spacious building, filled with some kind of wonderful power.
--magic.
A loud voice came from the front:
"Starting today, you will start learning magic classes."
"Magic is the foundation we rely on to fight against evil..."
The voice kept preaching.
Surrounded by peers, they stood neatly in rows, wearing uniforms.
Gu Qingshan raised his hand to look, then looked at himself.
——He turned into an eleven or twelve year old boy.
No more apes.
But human children.
