This group of people were all naked, without any covering. They were standing in front of a high platform. Above the high platform, two sturdy men were fighting at the moment. Judging from the depiction on the pattern, these two men
Compared to the crowd of people watching below, he looks much thicker.
In other words, these two stout men should be the warriors among these people, the two with higher martial arts value.
In the third picture, one of the men fell to the ground, while the other man raised his hands and cheered high. The entire shot of the painting was on the man with his hands raised.
Seeing this, Qin Yu understood that this should be similar to the way ancient tribes selected leaders. Whoever is more powerful will be the leader.
The next pattern is a picture full of disasters. In this pattern, this group of tribesmen were attacked by wild beasts. Judging from the picture, those wild beasts are very terrifying. Countless people have become food for the wild beasts.
Only a few people escaped.
Slowly continuing to read, Qin Yu almost understood the plot. From the second to the tenth picture, it was a continuous story.
The tribe elected a leader, but the leader did not protect the people of the tribe. After a few people escaped from the attack of wild beasts, these people gathered together and began to question the leader.
However, at this moment, another warrior who was defeated appeared. Not only did this warrior appear, but he also brought back the people of the tribe who were besieged by wild beasts.
The people of the tribe began to cheer and began to support the failed warrior as their leader, but the original leader left, taking his children with him and leaving the tribe.
A new leader was born, and the tribe gradually grew stronger under the leadership of the new leader. It began to learn to dig traps to deal with wild beasts, and learned to make crude wooden guns, just like the development of all primitive civilizations.
With the development of the tribe and the progress of civilization, classes naturally emerged, and the aristocratic class began to appear, that is, the leader and his family. All people in the tribe must obey the leader's orders.
So, the tribe held a celebration, which was a celebration for the leader. All the tribesmen stood below, and the leader stood alone on the high platform. However, at that moment, a round ball suddenly fell from the sky.
Small ball.
This small ball hit the leader, and the leader got the small ball.
This is the story of the previous twenty paintings. Seeing this, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. This round ball was the one that the third uncle brought out from the bronze coffin earlier. It was also the round ball that was crushed into pieces.
Small ball.
As he continued to look at it, Qin Yu discovered that the paintings below told another story.
After the leader got the round ball, he suddenly seemed to be omnipotent. He led the tribe to find bronze and taught the tribe to cast bronze. Bronze weapons appeared in batches.
Exquisite bronze vessels abound throughout the tribe.
The tribe began to become more powerful. It was no longer satisfied with such an area and began to expand in all directions. War started on this land.
Countless people die every day, but instead of decreasing, the population of the tribe is increasing, because the dead of the tribe are sent to a place at the request of the leader, and then the next day, these dead are resurrected, and
, even more powerful than before.
The people of this tribe will not die!
The other tribes became more and more frightened as they fought. Some of the entire tribes chose to evacuate, while others chose to surrender and join the Bronze Tribe.
As tribes develop and grow, they naturally have their own beliefs. At the same time, theology also begins to be enlightened in the tribe. This is something that any tribe must experience in its development. Moreover, it is usually spread by the rulers, and this bronze tribe is no exception.
.
After ruling the entire nearby area, the leader of the tribe suddenly issued an order, which was to order everyone in the tribe to build a palace.
This palace took all the efforts of the entire tribe and took a full ten years to build. A palace made entirely of bronze, a palace comparable to the Forbidden City. In that primitive era, it was miraculously successful.
's successful.
And this palace is exactly what Qin Yu is seeing now. From this pattern, Qin Yu knows how big this palace is. The mask of this palace has reached a terrifying figure.
The palace was built, and the leader of the tribe naturally lived in the palace, but unlike ordinary palaces where the emperor and his wife and children lived together, in this palace only the leader lived.
The leader lived in the palace, and the rest of the tribe lived outside the palace. Moreover, after the leader moved into the palace, he stopped showing up in front of the tribesmen and would only appear once a year at the festival.
In addition, the leader also issued an order that the bodies of all the dead should not be thrown away but sent to the palace. No one knew why the leader did this, but no one objected. Because,
At that time, there was no such custom as burial and cremation.
The years just passed by, and the people of the tribe grew old one after another, and were sent to the palace one after another. However, the leader never grew old, and still appeared in front of the people of the tribe once a year.
The leader of the tribe did not leave the palace. Later, as the various ethnic groups in the tribe multiplied, some family forces gradually emerged. These forces fought among themselves for territory and food. This was a civil strife within the tribe.
However, in the face of civil strife, the leader did not care and seemed to allow the civil strife to occur. In the end, three forces emerged in the entire tribe, and these three forces divided the entire tribe.
This situation is a bit like the ancient Zhou Dynasty and the era when the princes were divided. Although the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was the emperor in name, the princes were the real overlords. The Zhou Dynasty was dead in name only.
Finally, these three major forces couldn't bear it anymore. They felt that there should be no leader above them. The three major forces besieged the palace and wanted to capture the leader, because whoever captured the leader meant that he could give orders.
The other two major forces became the new leaders.
However, what the three major forces did not expect was that when they opened the door of the palace, what was waiting for them were countless bronze men. These bronze men possessed terrifying strength. The people of the three major forces could not survive under the hands of these bronze men.
There was no resistance, it was a massacre, a bloody massacre.
More than 99% of the entire tribe participated in this rebellion, and 99% of the people were slaughtered, leaving less than 10,000 people.
After ninety-nine percent of the tribe members were killed, the leader took the bodies to a pool in the palace and threw them all into it.
This is the content on the fifty-sixth picture tablet. Qin Yu's eyes can't wait to look at the next picture, because there is an intuition telling him that he is almost close to the truth about the Dian Kingdom.
Picture 57, in this huge pool, the dead tribesmen slowly crawled out of the pool. These people were resurrected. However, the difference is that after resurrection, these people have turned into bronze men.
.
Seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes froze, because he finally understood why this leader had so many bronze men. All of these bronze men were made from the corpses of dead tribesmen.
In other words, this leader has the ability to turn corpses into bronze men, and these bronze men only obey his command. To use a more exaggerated statement, this leader is creating another race.
However, the next painting made Qin Yu understand why the leader didn't turn the entire tribe into bronze men. That was because, after becoming bronze men, although they could not die, they would not have the ability to reproduce and survive.
The ability to reproduce.
Without the ability to give birth and reproduce, it means that the number of bronze men will only decrease rather than increase. Therefore, the leader left thousands of tribesmen who had not rebelled and continued to let these people survive outside the palace.
.
Because this leader needs people from these tribes to reproduce for him. Only in this way will he have a steady stream of bronze warriors.
"This is the first king of the ancient Dian Kingdom."
The third uncle's voice rang in Qin Yu's ears at some point. Hearing this voice, Qin Yu turned around suddenly, only to find that the little girl had disappeared, and only the third uncle was left.
"Senior, where is she?" Qin Yu asked his third uncle.
Just now because he was fascinated by what he was watching, Qin Yu didn't pay attention to the battle between his third uncle and the little girl.
"I put him in a coffin!"
The third uncle pointed at the bronze coffin, and Qin Yu noticed that the bronze coffin had been covered again at some point, and at the same time, a silver talisman and jade order was once again affixed to the coffin lid.
"I can't destroy her, so I can only introduce her into this bronze coffin. Fortunately, the silver talisman and jade order left by the sages can suppress her. As long as the silver talisman and jade order is not torn off, she will
It will never come out."
After hearing what his third uncle said, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but then Qin Yu asked: "Senior, it's time to tell me the truth about all this. What kind of country is Dian Kingdom?"
Such an existence.”
"The Dian Kingdom is divided into the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Dian Kingdom. My ancestors are the people of the Dian Kingdom, and she is a remnant of the ancient Dian Kingdom." There was a look of reminiscence on the third uncle's face, "You also see
Now, the ability possessed by the first king of the ancient Dian Kingdom is not something that one person can possess at all. This is a kind of power that can be called the creation god, which can make people immortal. As long as he is given enough corpses,
Countless bronze men can be made."
"Senior, I know this, but how did this leader die in the end when he was so powerful?" Qin Yu heard from the words of his third uncle. This was only the first Dian king, which meant that the Dian Kingdom was behind
There are several Dian kings, so how can this Dian king die with his powerful power? He can turn himself into a bronze man and gain eternal life.
"This matter starts from the wars in ancient times. The scenes you see were all tens of thousands of years ago, maybe earlier. I am not sure of the specific time." (To be continued)
