Vol 2 Chapter 593: revelation
"Although our demon clan does not have the habit of using written records, we have always kept the oral habit for generations.
Our ancestors passed on their experiences and experiences to us, and we are passing on everything we know to the next generation.
Maybe there will be some discrepancies in the middle, but there is nothing wrong in the big way.
Because there is no inheritance of words, there is no possibility of tampering.
In contrast, the history handed down by our demon clan is even more accurate than that handed down by humans.
It's just not as detailed as humans, not only will it record the cause and effect, but also record the process as much as possible.
Our history has only one result, so I don't know exactly what happened in it, and naturally I can't tell the reason.
I hope your lord understands. "
Regarding Xia Feng's doubts, the old goblin explained a few words without hesitation, probably meaning that what it said was not some groundless rumors.
It's history passed down from generation to generation.
Xia Feng nodded symbolically, but did not raise any questions as before.
The old goblin is now wearing the same pair of pants as him, so there is no reason to lie to him, and still take such a very long time.
So since the old goblin clearly stated that the rumors it heard were inseparable, then the truth is probably like this.
Although from the point of view of archaeological history, there is no such a period in the world that humans coexisted with many monsters.
But archaeology is not a panacea, because the farther away from the present, the greater the deviation in time speculation will be.
The deviation may even reach thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
Although this kind of deviation of thousands of years makes this judgment unreasonable, for a world that has existed for billions of years, this deviation is close to zero, which is only a few seconds away.
Just like the police are now judging the time of death of the victim, it cannot be accurate to a few minutes and a few seconds. There is also a deviation, but the deviation is very small.
But for the history of existence in the world, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, are nothing, just a flick of a finger.
But for human beings, thousands of years are enough to create and change many things.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that things that cannot be proved by archaeology did not appear in history.
After all, archaeology's restoration of history, especially for distant periods, is far more speculative than the evidence at hand.
This is also the reason for the most controversial and most divergent academic circles in the archaeological community.
It is because you have your speculation and I have mine. If you need this conclusion, then the minority should obey the majority. If you don't need it for the time being, then keep arguing.
In addition, the old goblin's words reminded him of the Shanhaijing, one of the Three Mysteries.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records many strange monsters.
He would know that the monster beast, the fire rat, passed through the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
There are many monsters in Shanhaijing, but this is not the strangest place. The real strangeness lies in the existence of this book.
If you read the whole book, then the most intuitive feeling is that this book is a record about geography.
Wherever you go, where you observe, and then record the mountains, rivers, minerals, monsters, and various monsters you see.
And the problem is here, that is, the existence of so many monsters is equivalent to throwing people in a safari park, where there are monsters waiting to tear you apart, how can you survive.
Not to mention this, there is also the fact that with the mobility of the people at that time, it was no small miracle to be able to climb over two mountains and cross two rivers. How could it be possible to travel such a long distance?
Although the brick houses are called beasts, they all say that this book was not written by one person, nor was it written in a period, and there are still some missing contents, which belong to a piece of stuff.
But if there is no original manuscript, if there is no original fact, how can there be exaggeration and the possibility of circulation?
It's like a person who said that he lost five million. If this person is just a poor person, then the person who hears this matter will not even bother to pass it on.
Because in my heart, I will feel that the person who told him is a brain-dead.
If this person is rich, and there is a possibility that he has 5 million, then if he tells others about it.
Others will keep spreading the word.
Because this incident is relatively rare, and losing 5 million is a major event, people will instinctively feel that there is value in spreading.
Then in the propagation, it will be constantly added with oil and vinegar.
But the backbone will not change, that is, a rich man loses five million.
And in the past, there was no network and no strong communication capabilities, and it was all spread with one mouth.
If it weren't for the earth-shattering event that had an impact on people, it would never have spread for a long time.
Because in this era of communication explosion and news explosion, how long will people remember when a major event occurs?
And now the number of people is much larger than in the past, and the possibility of transmission will be greater, although the possibility of receiving other news is also increasing, but the two will at most cancel each other out.
Several adults told the children that there have been terrible disasters in this world There have been terrible viruses?
Furthermore, human beings were never really creators.
To be precise, it's just a successor, a remodeler, or an imitator.
Because the inventions made by human beings are either imitating creatures in nature, or refining substances in nature, or improving on the basis.
Therefore, Xia Feng felt that the existence of the old goblins and these fire rats was used to prove it, and coupled with some dialectics that violated human behavior, he felt that the book of Shanhaijing should be a book passed down earlier.
It was not written by humans, but inherited by humans, then exaggerated and sorted out, and finally preserved.
The monsters in it can be exaggerated, but the mountains and rivers seem to have no possibility of exaggeration.
And later generations have also proved that some mountains and rivers in Shanhaijing exist.
There are only some that have not yet been proven.
But this kind of proof is not just proof if you want to prove it, because there are also political factors involved.
If the content inside proves half of it, then it means that this book is not nonsense, and it means indirectly that there is indeed a period of time in the world, when people and many monsters coexist.
Modern people can accept it, because everyone has the idea of returning to the past in their bones.
But in this case, it is impossible to explain how the humans who only relied on some bronze utensils, or even broken stones, resisted those monsters?
Could it be that only humans can use fire?
Xia Feng thought about this in his heart. He was not a scholar, and he didn't want to prove anything. In fact, he wished that these were all bullshit. There was no prehistoric civilization. Human beings are the best. star.
Grab back a lot of alien beauties, several of them, and then go home and have sex.
