Chapter 1778 Civilized Cage

Gu Qingshan looked at his hands.

When the two sharp stones were sharpened, his hands were torn a little, blood oozing out.

And some of the long black hair on his arms had fallen off.

--How is this going?

Could it be that doing things that promote the progress of civilization will produce a slight evolution?

Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.

on the hill.

The apes roared one after another.

They waved torches, trying to scare off the huge saber-toothed tiger.

However, the saber-toothed tiger only retreated a little bit, and was really forced, so it circled around and returned to its original position.

Usually, as long as the prey finds the trace in advance, the saber-toothed tiger will generally give up the hunt.

But today, it seems determined to eat a few ape-men.

Seeing the attitude of the saber-toothed tiger, the apes became visibly nervous.

They shouted loudly and made gestures to drive away.

Immediately, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were driven into the cave.

Only the youngest and strongest apes remained on the hillside outside, ready to fight the saber-toothed tiger to the death.

The ape-man "prophet" was also invited out.

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 it wants to eat ape-man especially today. It seems that a fight is necessary."

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?" the Prophet asked.

"Cooperate with him, so our progress will be much faster." Gu Qingshan said.

"The No. 1 Holy Chosen One is not going through the entrance on my side." Know it first.

Gu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

Yes indeed.

This is the entrance to the Holy Chosen One in the human world.

Besides here, there must be other entrances to the reincarnation world.

"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, I have to hurry up.

The old goblin gave himself three hours of goblin luck.

——I want to use the fastest speed to win the approval of all the apes.

This will make it easier to do the next thing.

The prophet glanced at him and immediately understood.

The Prophet raised the wooden stick in his hand, pointed to the saber-toothed tiger not far away, then nodded to Gu Qingshan, and said loudly: "You, go and deal with that beast!"

Gu Qingshan came out from behind him, passed all the apes, and strode towards the saber-toothed tiger.

He walked first, then trotted, moving his arms as he ran.

He didn't have a stone hammer, let alone a torch, but each held a stone.

The saber-toothed tiger watched vigilantly for a while, and soon his eyes were filled with killing intent.

—Only one ape-man?

Just relying on an ape-man, you want to deal with yourself?

The saber-toothed tiger felt insulted.

It took a deep breath—

Roar! ! !

The saber-toothed tiger roared fiercely.

The moment it opened its mouth, Gu Qingshan threw a stone violently!

The stone blasted into the sabre-toothed tiger's mouth like a cannonball.

The howling was interrupted immediately.

The nearly ten-meter-long body of the saber-toothed tiger pressed heavily on the grass, making a muffled sound.

——It didn’t even have time to react, and it died.

There was silence.

Suddenly, the apes burst into cheers.

A burly ape-man ran up first, and said loudly: "This is impossible! A stone cannot kill this beast!"

Gu Qingshan said: "You are right."

He stepped forward and opened the sabre-toothed tiger's mouth.

There was a big hole in the sabre-toothed tiger's mouth, and blood and serum were slowly flowing out.

Gu Qingshan 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 severely injure them!" 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 showed signs of thought.

...

two days later.

Gu Qingshan squatted on the tree and looked not far away.

A cheetah broke into the territory of the apes.

This time, the apes had another weapon besides the stone hammer.

—Stone Spear.

A twig tied to a sharpened stone makes a spear.

Gu Qingshan watched quietly for a while.

Those apes were obviously used to using stone hammers, and they were a little awkward and flustered about using spears to fight.

——They can't kill with one blow.

The cheetah was stabbed by the stone spear, felt an unprecedented threat, immediately took advantage of its speed, and fled quickly.

The apes cheered again.

Although the cheetah could not be left behind, it was unimaginable to defeat the opponent so easily.

They formed a circle, singing and dancing, celebrating the victory.

Gu Qingshan looked at it for a while, jumped off the big tree, turned around and walked towards the cave.

The Prophet still stayed in the depths of the cave, sitting in front of the fire, smoking a long tobacco made of leaves, bored.

"You have done a good job, why do you still have a sad face?" asked the Prophet.

"Is this good?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"After crossing countless doomsdays, all kinds of monsters, and countless tombs, you need to know the specific location to get here-you have achieved this."

The Prophet took a puff of smoke and continued: "Also, the apes have begun to process tools consciously, which was unimaginable before. The entire ape civilization is on the road of rapid development."

Gu Qingshan raised his arm.

The long black hair on the arms has been reduced, but to a very small extent, far less than when the sharp stone was first made.

Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "It took two days to make five stone spears, and three ape-men were injured during the process of making and using them--I want to use the spears thoroughly so that they can be used There is still a long way to go to fight the big beasts."

"You can teach them some basic polearm attacks - in this case, it will probably be faster." Know first.

"But how much faster can it be? There are too many things to learn, and the ape-man is still uncivilized, does not understand words, and does not understand the basic laws of the operation of all things. Sometimes he only expresses consciousness by shouting."

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sighed again, and continued: "Even if I keep teaching them something - if they want to enter a higher civilization, it will have to go through several generations, this is at least a hundreds of years. process, my evolution will be a long process with them."

The Prophet laughed violently.

"I didn't expect that the Holy Chosen would have to bear the status of 'prophet' like me."

"—I have been here for hundreds of years. During these days, I was surrounded by these ignorant guys. Even if I wanted to teach them something, they would find it difficult to understand. They would only record what I said. Considered a classic."

"But with their knowledge and cognition, they will never understand the truth I'm telling."

"How lonely it is!"

He laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, and tears came out of his laughter.

Gu Qingshan looked at him, and when he stabilized, he asked: "So I was wondering if you made a mistake."

"Well? What do you mean?" The prophet asked suspiciously.

Gu Qingshan brewed 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 age of ignorance, in the body of an ancient ape."

The Prophet nodded and said, "That's right."

"And you have been staying in this era, have never been to other eras, and do not know a way to escape from this ancient cage." Gu Qingshan said.

"Yes, what exactly are you going to say?" the prophet couldn't help asking.

Gu Qingshan waved his hand to signal him not to ask, and continued:

"Your duty is to tell the chosen ones that they want to promote the progress of civilization, so that they can reach the end of civilization from this initial era, and then awaken the human world."

"Yes." Know first.

"Then that is to say, the Holy Chosen must go through the continuous progress of 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 taken aback.

"You are imprisoned in this era, imprisoned in the body of an ancient ape - but if the era progresses, you are still a prisoner - will you become a human, or will you still be an ancient ape?" Gu Qingshan asked road.

The Prophet opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "I only know that spreading the word is my mission... Do you think that I, a prisoner in the age of ignorance, is also a hint of the six realms?"

Gu Qingshan looked at him quietly and nodded.

The prophet suddenly stood up and said loudly: "What on earth are you thinking? How did you leave this era? Tell me quickly!"

Gu Qingshan said: "I've made it very clear."

Know first: "But I don't understand!"

Gu Qingshan said: "Six Paths of Reincarnation allows us to start from the ignorant ape-man era and advance civilization forward, but it doesn't say what is used as a criterion, which will cause a huge problem——"

"Actually, you should know that, as a civilization, it has different 'sides'."

"At many critical moments in history, technology will be more adaptable to human needs, thereby defeating low-level cultivation; in other suitable historical opportunities, magic may defeat technology; and at other times, martial arts may kill magic; Not to mention those mysterious and weird civilizations—"

"In short, everything is uncertain. Many small events may determine the direction of the entire civilization and determine which side it ultimately belongs to."

"So, what's the standard?"

The Prophet was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Yes, what 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 ape-man's body, so you are trapped in this primitive era belonging to the ape-man, so... maybe the standard is this body?" Gu Qingshan said.

"Body? My body is indeed my cage, but if the body is used as the criterion for judging the degree 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 cage of the body, you must first think about which side you want to go, and then you can get out of the cage of the original place and go to the future of some kind of civilization."

"It's a really interesting thing."

He took out a branch and drew a rune on the ground.

"This rune represents the magic civilization. It is the most basic water condensation method, which allows the 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 beings - this rune I drew came from the laws of nature and is the cornerstone of magical civilization. It is as ancient as the stone spear I made. The civilization standard of the human race." Gu Qingshan said.

The prophet looked at the rune.

I saw small drops of water condensing on the surface of the rune.

He gradually understood, 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 looked down at the rune and waited quietly.

The next moment.

Lines of small scarlet characters flashed in the void:

"Congratulations, you have discovered the secret of the Six Paths."

"Each era is a tomb of the past, and the Six Paths use this to seal the real human world, so that it receives 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 gain insight into the secrets of the tombs of the world, and jump directly in the tombs of various civilizations, so as to go to the ultimate tomb faster."

"Using the body as a cage, using civilization as a means of getting out of the cage, this is one of the means to pursue the ultimate civilization."

"You are about to leave the Tomb of the Beginning, move on."

Gu Qingshan was in a trance for a while.

He felt that he had left the ape-man's body, and his soul was constantly floating in the void, flying towards certain directions.

I don't know how long it has passed, it may be a moment, or it may be a very long time.

Gu Qingshan suddenly felt that he had landed on a solid ground.

Here is a spacious large building, filled with some kind of wonderful power.

--magic.

A loud voice came from the front:

"Starting today, you will start learning magic lessons."

"Magic is the basis for us to fight against evil..."

The voice continued to preach.

All around are people of the same age, standing neatly in rows and wearing uniforms.

Gu Qingshan raised his hand to look, and then looked at himself.

——I became an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

No more apes.

But human children.
