Legend of the Star Sea: Dirge of the Nature Spirits

At the same time, the Silver-haired Elf struck the formation and once again arrived at the edge of the filthy alien fleet group.

The urgently produced astronomical bodies, with the help of the thinker civilization creatures, began to land on the giant ships stationary in space one by one.

The black ships of the Inquisition and the Void Stalker-class battleships of the Eldar also ended their deceleration and reverse thrust, and merged with the strike formation of the Silver-haired Elf;

Cruising outside the "dead" fleet group.

.............

In this silent space, the battleship's power system emitted a brilliant stream of light.All soldiers maintain a high degree of vigilance and are ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

However, the screen turned to one side, and a fierce space dog fight was taking place in space not far from the small fleet.

A fleet of machines and creatures engage in fierce battles with alien ships.

Lasers and physical bullets interacted with each other, shooting at each other. Sometimes the war machine was overloaded with shields, destroying the body armor and exploding into a brilliant ball of light.

In this space, there is a trace of temporary beauty left.

The Silver-haired Elf and the dreadnought "Long Live Friendship" commanded by Gu Lun, after coordinating the fire channel, activated the short-range defense artillery group.

After linking up with the astronomical bodies fighting at close range to form a complete strangulation network, this brutal close-quarters dogfight turned into a one-sided massacre of filthy alien species.

Even if these filthy aliens driving fighter jets took out all their physical memories and flexibly shuttled through space, desperately dodging beams and ion jets...

But their number was still reduced rapidly under the baptism of the rain of bullets.

Moreover, the war vehicles driven by this group of filthy aliens were already lagging behind the elves.

The filthy alien species that lost their bodies in the previous space fleet battle and returned to the "friendly battleship" prison to invade the slave bodies were at a numerical disadvantage for the first time.Lost the numerical advantage of overwhelming nebulae,

They were unable to rely on their innate high-dimensional power to make the higher-tech Elf warships ignore one thing and miss the other. The outcome of these filthy aliens could be imagined.

When their spiritual bodies fell into the deep space of the physical universe, they were decomposed by Muye's force field.

The crew of the Silver-haired Elf nervously operated the ship, always paying attention to the surrounding situation. After ten minutes of roll call shooting, millions of filthy alien species were finally wiped out.

----

4 hour later,

"Boom~!!!" Accompanied by a loud noise,

The silver-white battleship, the Silver-haired Elf, which had been renovated and renovated by the astral body, was embedded into the hull of the Beautiful Nature through the docking process.

This cutting-edge destroyer leader, built less than 200 years ago, replaces the missing core module of the original dreadnought and is integrated with the Beautiful Nature.

The 3400-year-old stellar-class dreadnought, the Beautiful Nature, has been baptized by artillery fire for more than 3000 years and has once again been placed under the command of the Holy Elf Empire's deep space fleet.

She inherited the name of the lead ship of the planetary fleet destroyer, the Silver-haired Elf.And Xiaobai also welcomed his new home.

At this moment, in the square in front of the large-scale dreadnought production factory, there were high-level officials from the Elf side and representatives of different strengths from the Human Empire side: Xue Qubing, the leader of the Tang Xianfeng Army Chapter, and the Scarpa 6 type physical sage from the Mechanicus. , Intermediate Judge Elena and her escorting battle sisters,

Together with Eve, the prophet of Ulthwe of the Eldar tribe, stood opposite the senior officer of the silver-haired Elf, waiting for negotiations;

They were originally planning to conduct a post-war review.

After the review was completed, it was the spoils division meeting that Scarpa Type 6 Physics Sage and Eve were looking forward to.

But before that, they need to take a moment,

Waiting for the treasure of the Holy Elf Empire, Li Muye, the elf's official name is Muye-Qingbai, to perform the spiritual enlightenment ceremony.

The hero who awakened this battle was the sub-consul from the Thinker Civilization in Dabangzi Sector, and the sub-lord, Your Excellency.

Oh, he should be a true dominant creature now.

The members of the Treasure Guards all modulated their power armor into dresses and skirts to form a square array. They followed rituals and etiquette that had been passed down for more than 8 years and lined up in an arithmetic sequence;

Iris, Luan Ya, Xiao Yezi, Danruo, Illya, Violet and the others knelt down on one knee in the large circular formation, waiting for the protagonist of the ceremony to arrive here holding the ball;

It turned out that after cleaning up the remaining filthy alien species, when Mu Ye was holding Guanye's body and looking at the distant space scenery, unable to do anything,

There was a flash of golden light in the distance, and Mu Ye suddenly remembered the spiritual enlightenment ceremony performed by ancient elves when he was browsing the database to study the history of elves. (Note: Sacrifice and blessing ceremony of Shang Dynasty)

Muye, who had been unable to wake her up for a long time, decided to give it a try. After reporting it to Treasure Officer Chenwu, she prepared to start the first spiritual enlightenment ceremony for his natural elf.

The spiritual enlightenment ceremony that has been passed down for a long time is an unintentional act by the lonely primitive elves in ancient times who were bored and used their own power to find flowers, birds, fish and insects to bless them, so as to give birth to playmates; as the number of playmates increased, it gradually formed clan;

Not long after it spread, the original elves got married to the "Shang" civilization wandering among the stars. Later, this ceremony was improved by the "Shang" people's priests and was officially named the spiritual enlightenment ceremony.

Since the elves who intermarried with "Shang" traveled across the star sea with the merchants, most of the remaining primitive elves escaped from the world. Therefore, this ceremony is now mostly used for adult natural elves with some power to thank the mother planet where they were born;

The thank-you gift before a modern elf birthday party or wedding also refers to the spiritual enlightenment ceremony to thank parents for their kindness in giving birth.

This is Muye's memorable first... ceremony,

Therefore, Chenwu will serve as the recorder and priest as the royal princess and steward to preside over the ceremony. When she asked the foreign friends present if they were attending as usual, the Eldar who were worried about how to know more about the elves , the Human Empire side, naturally happily agreed with joy.

The ceremony was held at the location of the final battle of the Master of Mankind's Cursed Legion as the ceremony location in order to commemorate the victory of the battle.

Considering that there are still 69 giant ships that need the treasure's ability to purify and screen for hidden filthy alien species, Xingya asked the astral body to drive the warship and park around the beautiful nature dreadnought.

..................................I am the gorgeous separator…. .................................................................

Let’s talk about settings again! ! !

In the setting, the innocent primitive elves and the "merchants" wandering among the stars combine to give birth to the ancestor of modern elves.

Yes, this "Shang" civilization originated from our "Shang Dynasty" in China (no spoilers, it will be revealed later in the story).

As for magical creatures that have no concept of civilization, they are naturally deeply influenced by the patriarchal clan. They have formed their own unique cultural system with reference to the ancient Chinese "Shang" civilization.

The ancients said: The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

For the ancient country, its important functions were to work together, enrich the people and strengthen the country, ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and realize a happy life for the people.

"Zuo Zhuan" summarizes the core functions of the state into two: sacrificial service and military service.

Throughout history, it is a history of "sacrifice and military service" meeting each other.

Sacrifice to heaven, earth, ancestors, Zen ceremony, founding ceremony, these are the categories of "sacrifice".

The "sacrifice" of seal script is like a person praying in front of the ancestor's tablet.

"Forgetting the past means betrayal."

The reason why Chinese civilization has been passed down and endured for thousands of years is inevitably related to our concept of sacrifice.

Because the objects of sacrifice are not only gods and ancestors, but also heroes, role models, and people who benefit the people.

It is the excellent civilization and traditions created by our ancestors that have inspired generations of Chinese people to be energetic and enterprising.

Literary men, such as Confucius and Mencius; warriors, such as Huo Qubing and Guan Gong;

Officials, such as Bigan and Qu Yuan; farmers, such as Shennong and Houji; tens of thousands of ordinary people who work in the fields;

Workers are like Mozi and Lu Ban; businessmen are like Fan Li and Zigong. The variation of "Si" is to replace "Si" with "Ji", which means "Hope", that is, hope.

In the process of sacrifice, prayer is the form, and the purpose is "hope" to obtain guidance from gods, ancestors, saints, and role models, and to strengthen the confidence of the "sacrificial" person.

Now we often say that life should have a sense of ritual.

Because the sense of ritual makes us full of confidence and hope for the future.

Rong is related to war weapons and is a combination of the word "Gange".

We have an old saying that "turns hostility into friendship".

The reason why we develop nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, sky eyes and other important weapons of the country is to enhance combat effectiveness, improve anti-strike capabilities, and defend the peaceful development of the motherland with high-precision weapons.

The original meaning of the word "武" is "to stop fighting", which means to stop fighting and win without fighting!

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu says, "Soldiers are important matters for the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must observe them!"

The traditional character "国" (国) is composed of "口 Ge Yi Yi", which means "wall, army, land, population".

The big "囗" outside represents the territory.

The small "mouth" in the "or" inside represents the population (soldiers or troops), and the "one" represents land;

To defend the territory and the homeland, we must have an army with "G" spears in hand!

"Small Notes on Divinations": "The mouth symbolizes the shape of the territory, and it is the meaning of the country to guard it from the front."

According to modern grave digging...ah, it's an archaeological discovery, and sacrifices were popular in the Shang Dynasty.

In the universe of Xiaopujie Components, the ancestor of the elves calls himself "Shang", which is our Chinese Shang!

In the primitive period, productivity was low and catching animals was difficult for primitive people because they did not know how to use tools.

In the Shang Dynasty, which had a developed economy, a large population, and advanced bronze technology, a large number of living people were used for sacrifices.

Sacrifice was very frequent in the Shang Dynasty, and sacrifices were made for both big and small events. The so-called sacrifice was to offer sacrifices to the gods and ancestors in order to seek the protection of the gods and ancestors.

The food after the sacrifice is distributed to everyone participating in the sacrifice.

Because the Shang Dynasty was a big country in the world at that time, it often went to war, and the slaves captured in the process became sacrifices.

The reason why the Shang Dynasty often performed sacrifices was because they believed in ghosts and gods.In their view, ghosts and gods are more powerful than living people, so no matter whether the weather is warm or cold, or the victory or defeat of a war, they must pray for the blessings of their ancestors through sacrifices.

So other small countries are suffering.

During the archaeological process, large tombs of the Yin and Shang dynasties were excavated. In addition to cultural relics, there were more skeletons in them.Some are the bones of animals, which were dismembered, cooked and placed in vessels, or they were directly slaughtered and placed in pottery vessels.There are also many human skeletons.

In the Yinxu ancient tombs, the total number of skeletons found by experts is about 4000, which means there are 111 dead people per square meter.

According to records, during the Shang King Wu Ding's time, the largest sacrifice ever used was 500 slaves.

This shows how terrible the sacrificial culture of the Shang Dynasty was!

Speaking of which, Xiaopoujie needs to mention it!In Cima and our neighbors, the Aryans of ancient Asan, thousands of them were defeated by our Chinese goddess of war, Fuhao; and then all of them were beheaded and used for human favors.This is the reason why a large number of white people were found in the labor pit in Fuhao's tomb.

"Xinsi Bu, there are three thousand women who have ascended the throne, and thousands of journeys have taken place, calling for the Qiang to be conquered."

This was the war with the largest number of troops recorded in oracle bone inscriptions. The supreme commander of this war was Fuhao.At that time, Wu Ding's favorite generals such as Qin and Yu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had numerous military exploits, were all led by Fuhao.

There is a powerful tribe Tufang to the west of the capital Anyang (south of central Shanxi).They often invaded Shang's borders wantonly and robbed people and property, which was a major worry for the dynasty for many years.

Therefore, Wu Ding ordered his wife Hao to lead his troops into battle. In just one battle, he repelled the invading enemy.Fu Hao took advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeated Hijikata.From then on, Tufang no longer dared to invade, and was eventually included in Shang's territory.

Fu Hao's most exciting battle was the battle with Wu Ding to conquer Pakistan.

Before the war, Fuhao and her husband agreed on a strategy. Fuhao would ambush the enemy's army in the west, while Wuding would lead the elite troops to launch a surprise attack on the Pakistani army in the east.Encircled by the Wuding Army and the Fuhao Army, the Pakistani army lost sight of one thing and lost the other. Their formation was in chaos, and they were finally surrounded and annihilated, and the southern border was pacified.

This is probably the earliest "ambush battle" recorded in writing in China.

Wu Ding was a famous hero in the history of the Shang Dynasty. During his 59 years in power, he frequently went on expeditions and conquered the surrounding tribes in the northwest and southeast, greatly expanding the territory of the dynasty. The period of his rule is called "Wu Ding" in history. ZTE".In this process, Fuhao is of course a very important figure.There are quite detailed records of the military activities she participated in in the documents at that time.

The jade phoenix in Fuhao's tomb is 13.6 centimeters high and has a wall thickness of 0.7 centimeters. It was unearthed from Fuhao's tomb in Yinxu, Anyang, Henan Province in 1976 and is now in the Institute of Archeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Many jade dragons were unearthed from Fuhao's tomb, but only one jade phoenix was found, which shows that Fuhao attached great importance to the phoenix.This vessel is very similar to the word "phoenix" in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. It is an excellent object for studying the image of the phoenix in the minds of the people of the Shang Dynasty.

The jade phoenix has a high crown, a hooked beak, short wings and a long tail. It stands tall and looks back as if it is about to fly. It is elegant and free. Its long and stretched tail is naturally curved, and its tail feathers are combined and divided, pure and without lines.

There are through-holes in front of the body, which makes the phoenix body plump and charming.The protruding perforated round button on the back should be where the string is hung.The image of the phoenix is ​​beautiful and exquisite, and the jade is crystal clear and clean, making people unable to help but take a second look and find it difficult to understand.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "The first text of the phoenix bird is called virtue, the written text of the wing is called shun, the written text of the imprint is called benevolence, and the written text of the back is called righteousness. If you see it, the world will be harmonious."

This shows that the phoenix was still a symbol of morality and benevolence at that time. Perhaps women in those days wore this jade phoenix, not only to express nobility, but also to convey auspiciousness. In our story, the romantic journey and the sower of civilization among the stars and stars, "Shang" ........hey-hey.
