the lord of all monsters

Chapter 182 The so-called "monster clan"

Nezha came out of the mansion and went up and down Chentangguan, which naturally caused quite a commotion.

But, fortunately, Nezha didn't intend to "play" with them today, but rode on the horse silently, following behind his mother.

Compared with those ordinary people, the trained Chentangguan soldiers accompanying them performed much better.

In the Shang Dynasty, only sons of good families and nobles could become soldiers and soldiers. They themselves were the elite class of society and would not follow others like ordinary people.

Moreover, they are generally more educated and more aware of the true face of the world.

It is also more acceptable for the existence of supernatural beings and monks, and they will not always be involved in monsters if they are a little abnormal.

(Although Nezha is not a human being in the traditional sense to some extent.)
Moreover, not to mention the prestige of Li Jing and his wife in the army, these soldiers themselves have to fight monsters and beasts frequently, and they don't have any fear of these things.

Don't say that Nezha is not a monster, even if he is, so what?

Demons and the others have seen less?
Therefore, in these soldiers, Nezha felt the long-lost friendliness and equality. In his original world, Nezha had never experienced such gazes from other people except his mother.

It also made him have a lot of good feelings for these soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Yin was also reflecting on some of her actions all the time. Perhaps it was not a good decision to lock Nezha at home.

After arriving at Zhenmo Pass.

Through some exchanges with the soldiers, Nezha also figured out the general situation that Zhenmoguan is currently facing.

Chentangguan is located on the seashore, to the east are some small fishing villages, and to the east is the sea, which is the territory of the Dragon Clan, and of course it is also a cage.

To the west are other passes, which are not under the jurisdiction of Chentang Pass.

To the south is the direction leading to the interior of Chaoge. Although there are occasional monsters, they are rare.

Only the North.

After the Lich War, a large number of monsters fled to Beiju Luzhou. Geographically, the further north, the more monsters.

Although Chentang Pass is not located in Beiju Luzhou, it is already the northernmost point of the Shang Dynasty. Zhenmo Pass is the northernmost pass of Chentang Pass, directly facing a large number of demon territories.

There are a large number of monster races, and the various races are even more mixed. It is impossible to accurately summarize it with the word monster race alone.

The so-called monster clan is more like a general term for all non-human creatures in the world after enlightenment, and it cannot even be called a group.

Just like the so-called "dinosaurs" in the population of later generations.

There is no dinosaur dynasty spanning 1.2 million years, three geological periods, or even the so-called dinosaur civilization.

In this long period of time, there are countless dinosaur-like "Sing it, I will appear on the stage" It is hard to say that there is any inheritance relationship between them.

The kinship between each other is also far away from being a family at all.

Just like mammals, humans are mammals, and mice are also mammals. Are humans and mice related?Is there such a thing as a great mammalian empire?
Moreover, when people talk about dinosaurs, what are they talking about?

Is it an ornithopod, or a theropod?

Is it a saurischian or an ornithischian?
Is it a Triceratops or a Tyrannosaurus?

The difference between them is not the difference between chimpanzee and gorilla, but the difference between "man and cat", "man and dog".

……

The Yaozu is the same, even more chaotic.

Not to mention ordinary people, even monks can hardly distinguish the difference between some "demons", "demons", "ghosts" and "monsters".

Anyway, are they all monsters?

In the long history, some monster clans once had brilliant civilizations, and even once formed the monster clan heaven, but even in the heyday of these monster clans, it was impossible to effectively manage all the monster clans.

The reason lies in the phenomenon of self-initiation of the spiritual wisdom of the monster race.

Theoretically, any kind of life between the heaven and the earth, even non-life, can produce spiritual wisdom under the long-term nourishment of the heaven and earth aura, and become the so-called "monster race".

Scale insects, fish and birds, vegetation, bamboo and rocks...

Everything in the world can be a demon. Those who are powerful and born early will naturally have a long time to gather into ethnic groups and tribes to establish civilization.

Such as "Dragon Clan", "Phoenix Clan", "Kirin" and so on...

Of course, in the subsequent catastrophe, they who were at the top suffered the most losses.

And those who were born later and are still in a primitive and wild state are not without losses, because they are primitive and weak, and their casualties may be more serious.

But so what?

They were primitive as beasts and had nothing to lose.

In the future, there will be a steady stream of new self-starting monster races appearing to fill their positions.

This is the situation that the soldiers of Zhenmoguan will face.

They are almost fighting the whole world.

Although the low-level monsters have spiritual intelligence, they still maintain many characteristics from wild beasts, such as "bloodthirsty and easy to kill", such as "superior reproductive ability", etc...,

That's not to say they're inherently evil.

In fact, these are the excellent qualities that they can survive in the cruel nature struggle.

Only with the improvement of the realm and the gradual accumulation of knowledge, the low-level monster race will gradually break away from this primitive nature and gradually become civilized.

However, in the brutal natural competition, this is almost impossible to achieve.

The cruel natural environment and the vicious competition among the same kind will make these wise monsters instinctively train themselves to be more brutal and cunning.

Because, in the cruel zero-sum game of "natural competition", sympathizing with your opponent will lead to your own death, and being injured because you are not cunning enough will also lead to your own death...

Everything that means good character to modern humans may mean death to them.

Perhaps it would be better to say:
For these races that are still in the primitive period, things like virtue hinder their survival.

Are there any demon clans who "love peace" and "don't like killing"?
Have!
But they are either powerful ancient monsters, or monster tribes, or they will be ruthlessly eliminated in the first round of natural selection.

Because of their wisdom, even after such cruel rounds of screening, more and more "smart" and "powerful" monsters will survive and reproduce more and more.

However, the total amount of the environment and the carrying capacity remain unchanged.

The pressure of survival will make them instinctively attack the human settlements.

Therefore, almost every few years, a large number of low-level monster races will form a beast tide accompanied by a large number of monsters, fierce beasts, and wild beasts, trying to attack the human settlements, thus forming the so-called "beast tide".

And Zhenmoguan is the first line of defense on the outermost layer of the human race.

After passing the Zhenmo pass, no matter what the final result is, it will mean that a large number of ordinary people will become blood food in the mouths of monsters and monsters.

　There are many disputes about the correct location of Chentangguan. Some believe that Chentangguan is located in TJ City (the area around Chentangzhuang, HX District, modern TJ City), while others believe that Chentangguan is now Jiangyou City or Yibin County, SC Province.

　　The point of view of TJ City is selected here, because Sichuan does not rely on the sea!
