Chapter 1431: On the way (1)
After leaving the hundred thousand mountains, there were more Plains and lakes, forming a rich and colorful landscape.
In the “nine regions geographical record,” the southern border could be generally divided into two major areas, namely “hundred thousand mountains” and “extreme abyss.” The two names represented the two major forces that dominated the southern border.
The thousand Fey Kingdom and the Gu clan.
why didn’t the geography of the nine provinces write about the delicacies of the southern border? ”
Mu Nanxi sat cross-legged on a rock by the stream, holding a blue leather book and reading it attentively.
Miao you Fang and Hong Ying were in charge of preparing the food.
“Then you’ll have to ask the Confucian Saint.”
Xu Qi ‘an sat down beside her and said with a smile, “”Maybe the Confucian Saint doesn’t like good food.”
The geography of the nine states was written by the Confucian Saint for three years. It simply recorded the mountain and river landforms and the distribution of rivers in the nine states.
The later ‘Dafeng geographical records’ was written by a later generation of Confucians after the scholarly Sage.
Mu Nanxi believed her and said, ”
“However, the mountains and rivers, as well as the tribes scattered all over the place, have been recorded in detail.”
As she looked at it, the corner of her mouth suddenly twitched.
“What kind of barbarian are these?”
There were countless tribes in the southern border, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of people. They were scattered all over the southern border like stars in the sky.
Their customs were very strange. In mu nanzhi’s eyes, they were simply uncivilized barbarians.
Xu Qi ‘an took the ” geography of nine states ” and read it carefully. It was written that there was a tribe called ” dog God ” three hundred and twenty miles to the West of the southern border. There was a custom in this tribe that when men and women reached adulthood, they must marry a monster called ” horned dog ” and become partners.
From then on, they lived together, hunted together, and relied on each other for life and death.
Xu Qi ‘an continued to read and found that these monsters were called ” horned dogs. they lived in groups, understood humans, and were fierce and aggressive.
They lived in the area around the divine Dog tribe.
“This is the choice of nature.”
Xu Qi ‘an stood up, one hand holding a book and the other behind his back, acting like a teacher and explaining to mu nanzhi, ”
“The birth of any custom and culture is related to the surrounding environment. It could be said that the environment determined the culture. For example, the farming of our Central Plains and the nomadism of the demon barbarians in the North are determined by the environment.”
Mu Nanxi did not fully understand what he was saying. She frowned and said, ”
“T-then their marriage with the horned hounds was also caused by the environment? Why is that so?”
the books say that horned dogs are aggressive and human-like creatures. They are no doubt great partners. You can think of it as living together.
then how do they reproduce? ”
Mu nanzhi blinked, putting on an innocent expression.
Unconsciously, the topic of conversation had changed … “I knew you’d be most curious about this,” Xu Qi ‘an chuckled.
Mu nanzhi’s efforts were instantly broken. She spat with a red face and could not pretend anymore.
I think this is more like a respectful taming. Horned dogs are human and have high intelligence. Ordinary dogs can’t compare to them, so they can’t be tamed. After coming into contact with our Central Plains, the divine Dog tribe discovered that ‘marriage’ was a very grand ceremony, so they imitated this ceremony to show their respect for the horned dogs. “The horned hounds have also accepted this ceremony.”
Xu Qi ‘an gave his own judgment.
“Then turn three more pages.”
Mu nanzhi said.
Xu Qi ‘an did as he was told and turned three pages forward. It recorded a tribe called “pan “. The leader of the tribe had the power to take away the first night of a newly-wedded woman when a young man and woman got married.
“This can’t be decided by the environment, right?” She put her hands on her waist.
Xu Qi ‘an touched his chin and asked, “”Do you know what a pride of lions looks like?”
Mu nanzhi shook her head.
“The structure of a lion pride is that a male rules a group of females. When the male lion first rules the group, he will bite all the Cubs of his predecessor to death. This first night, it’s actually similar.” Xu Qi ‘an argued, ”
“Think about it, if one of these brides gives birth to the patriarch’s child, then his bloodline will continue. This has little to do with the environment, but it’s related to the instinct of living creatures to reproduce. It’s the instinct of living creatures to reproduce.”
He wasn’t making things up. The customs of living creatures were related to the environment. If not, why would it be said that one’s environment would support one’s people?
The simple saying contained the most fundamental truth of biological evolution.
Mu nanzhi thought about it and reluctantly accepted it, then said, ”
“Turn back eight pages.”
Xu Qi ‘an turned back to the eighth page. According to the tribe’s tradition, when a son reached the age of 18, he must challenge his father. If he lost, he would be chased out of the family. If he won, he would inherit everything from his father, including his father’s daughter and his own younger brothers and sisters.
I can’t f * cking make it up anymore. I haven’t even come into contact with those tribes, so how would I know the origin of their customs … Xu Qian ridiculed him in his heart.
“Hold on, why are the tribes you remember so strange?”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at her suspiciously.
Mu nanzhi felt that she had been checkmated and pouted. She turned her face away guiltily and pretended to look at the scenery elsewhere.
it’s … It’s because it’s strange that I have. deep impression of it …
No, you remind me of a saying I heard in my previous life, ” goddesses also like to watch Love educational films ” … Xu Qi ‘an criticized in his heart. He threw the ” geography of nine states ” aside and took out the fragment of the book of the nether world.
