Chapter 117 The National Construction of Dragon Totem
The Enlightenment Stone is changing almost every day. When Wang Wang entered here again, its appearance was completely new again, especially the big green tree cut from the branch of life. Last time, it was still several feet high. This time
It’s more than 100 meters.
The vegetation coverage of this planet is also greater than last time. At the same time, several springs have appeared around the giant green trees, and the springs are constantly overflowing, creating criss-crossing streams.
But he didn't pay much attention to these changes. He only cared about the location of the lady, but he searched around the giant tree and couldn't find the lady's existence.
Inside this enlightenment stone is a deserted planet, which may be larger than the earth. If she cannot be found in this verdant land, there will be nothing he can do.
Having the enlightenment technique engraved on the enlightenment stone does not mean that he can completely master all the mysteries of this enlightenment stone.
"Dad... there's no need to look for it. Mom went to investigate the ruins. In fact, she was still shy about her last confession.
But she left a message, saying that some of the fruits of the Tree of Life can be extracted."
At this time, Tosk, who was sleeping among the flowers, jumped on Wang Wang's shoulder.
"Uh...why is she still shy..."
Wang Wang thought of the little dragon girl in The Eight Parts of the Dragon, who kept pushing Yang Guo to the limit, wouldn't she do the same?
The only thing he doesn't have to worry about is that his wife will not leave this ancient tomb (the core of the planet), and only he can come in.
"Dad, look."
Tosk pointed to the Tree of Life, where a golden apple grew on the crown a hundred meters high.
"It seems that it also knows how to pay the rent. It's strange, there is no sunlight here, how can it grow?"
Wang Wang has been to school for the time being and knows about photosynthesis. Even if the world he lives in has a lot of things that cannot be explained on earth, some basic common sense should be interchangeable, right?
"The branch of life comes from the tree of life cultivated by the original Mother Goddess. Now this branch has grown into a new tree of life. For it, it was its father and mother who cultivated it.
It's just that compared to its predecessor, the meaning of their existence is different,
In the past, the tree of life existed to shape the world. After the world was shaped, it lost its meaning of existence, and finally only a dead branch was left to survive in the world.
Nowadays, this branch of life is rooted in the formed planet, connected with the destiny of the planet, and jointly reproduces life. When the entire planet is covered by life, it will still continue to exist as the guardian of life.
.
This fruit produced by it contains the secret and truth of life.
Mom said, Dad will understand as long as he eats it."
Tosk relayed the words of the lady (exclusive to Wang Wang).
"Can people become smarter if they don't know how to eat it? It's like the treasures of heaven and earth and things of chance in the novels about cultivating immortals."
While Wang Wang was thinking this, the golden apple growing on the crown of a hundred-meter tree slowly fell down and automatically came to him, as if inviting him to eat it.
"You eat first, I'll find a place to continue sleeping..."
Tosk immediately jumped away. Ever since he knew that he was almost cursed to death by the Branch of Life, he would never touch any treasures again. Without Wang Wang's luck, he would just be a leisurely driller.
"Well..."
Wang Wang didn't doubt it, so he opened his mouth and ate it.
At this moment, his whole body released golden light, and his soul and body seemed to be separated, and he saw the evolution of endless things.
Everything about totems flowed through his mind quickly, like pressing fast forward on a documentary, and he watched the entire masterpiece in an instant.
However, in the next moment, it seemed that he had forgotten everything, only retaining that part of the mysterious feeling.
Finally, it settled on [Dragon Totem].
It doesn't come from his soul memory or anything, but some kind of inheritance.
The dragon totem is an indelible mark in Chinese culture. Why do descendants of Yan and Huang think that they are descendants of the dragon? The origin lies in Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind. According to legend, he had the head of a human and the body of a snake, and used a snake as a totem. This gradually opened up
Dragon and snake evolution.
By the time of the Yellow Emperor, there was a record in "Historical Records* The Chronicles of the Five Emperors": "Conforming to Busan".
Hefu can be said to be the beginning of the unification of jade seals and letters. In order to transform tribal society into national society and seek common ground while reserving differences without erasing tradition, some elements were removed from the totems of each tribe and combined, thus creating
Created a new totem dragon, and later the descendants of the dragon.
Based on Fuxi's snake totem, he gradually shaped it into a more divine and extraordinary image, and eventually became the head of all beasts with elements of hundreds of races.
The golden apple helped Wang Wang unlock his wisdom and create a totem. Only one totem can command the heroes, and that is the dragon totem.
Not only that, Wang Wang may be able to imagine the concept of dragon totem after spending time, but just having a concept cannot be transformed into a substantial effect.
The role of the golden apple is to turn the fictional image of the dragon totem into reality.
Similar to the engraving of enlightenment, the golden apple engraves the dragon totem into a truth-like thing.
It's just that compared to enlightenment, there are some differences in the principles of the world. The truth of dragon totem only exists in people who have the same faith as Wang Wang. Compared with the truth of the world, it is a kind of inheritance. Only when the people of faith become more and more
Only after a long time will it be as effective as the truth.
The golden apple just reversed the cause and effect.
The Yellow Emperor created the dragon totem after he unified the hundreds of tribes, and Wang Wang first owned the dragon totem before he began to unify the hundreds of tribes.
The dragon totem in this world is not shaped by cohesion, but based on Wang Wang's will. Therefore, the actual effect displayed is ancestor worship, the product of combining totem worship and ancestor worship. And among them
The ancestor is Wang Wang, the first ancestor.
Different from religious beliefs, although dragon totem worship has a certain direction, it is also a narrow and pan-style worship, specifically the image of the dragon, of which ancestors are only a part. It is both inclusive and unified. This is a typical example of Chinese civilization.
Characteristics are not blind faith and individual worship, but the inheritance and shaping of overall charm.
"...Tosk, I'm going out. Tell your mother that I miss her."
After eating the golden apple, Wang Wang left the world of Enlightenment Stone.
Without further ado, while the wisdom of the Golden Apple still remains in my chest, I will get the totem thing done immediately.
After the dragon totem becomes a reality, as long as the image of the dragon is depicted, people who come into contact with it will be able to perceive the charm of the dragon totem. The biggest benefit brought by belief in the dragon totem is identity recognition.
Even if different orcs put their hands on the dragon totem, an inexplicable feeling will emerge from their hearts. This feeling makes the orcs from different tribes instinctively believe that they and themselves come from the same ancestor and are brothers and sisters.
Just like the descendants of Yan and Huang who live in a foreign country, the moment they see each other, they can recognize that they are from the same place and have a common blood source.
It may not seem like it means much, but it actually means a lot.
You must know that the orcs’ national system was copied from humans. They do not have a specific image of their own country. The tribes just compromise with each other and join forces.
The emergence of the dragon totem will build a sense of national identity for the orcs to build a nation, allowing orcs from different tribes to recognize each other as belonging to the same nation, and from nation to country, the country born in this way will have strong cohesion.
The reason why the Chinese civilization can have a long history and last forever is precisely because the national construction was completed as early as the Yellow Emperor and even the Fuxi period. The descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties have a sense of cognition like an iron wall. Even if there are many alienating people, they cannot destroy the Chinese civilization. No one can destroy the Chinese civilization.
All civilizations will fall, but only the Chinese civilization will not.
