607: C607 Ignorance

C607 Ignorance

The process of cutting open his arm reminded Xiao Yun of many things in the past.

The person who showed him this secret recipe also told him a lot of things.

Something that made him drop his glasses.

Even the first sentence from the other party made him feel astonished.

"Ignorance is a sin. Even now, there are still tragedies due to ignorance in this world. It's just that people don't know, so they are ignorant."

Xiao Yun asked curiously, "What kind of thing can be considered an ignorant tragedy?"

The old man laughed and said, "An archaeologist once discovered an ancient tomb. The coffin inside is very small. It was a small prince, but judging from the bones, he died before the full moon. It could be considered a premature death. He was a member of the royal family, so even if he did not have the true throne, however, because of the love and nostalgia of his elders, he was able to have such a grand tomb."

"Those elders must like him very much. They must be very sad for him."

"That's right. In ancient times, the premature rate of babies being premature was especially high. Even in the royal family, almost half of babies would die before the full moon. This is a terrifying probability, isn't it? That's right. In ancient times, the premature rate of babies being premature was very high. Even in the royal family, almost half of babies would die before the full moon, right?"

"Definitely!"

Xiao Yun nodded heavily.

The old man said, "The archaeologists felt the pain of losing their children. Because they also gave birth to children. It's the responsibility of being a father for the first time. He wanted to investigate how this child died. So he took the corrupted corpse and those bones. After doing all kinds of tests and experiments, he wanted to find out the cause of his death. Of course, this kind of corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years was almost impossible to find any clues. The reason why he thought he would find some clues was that he suspected that the little prince had been persecuted to death. He was a person who liked conspiracy theories, and the poison in ancient times... Many poisons in ancient times would leave some clues on the bones."

"Then... is there really someone who poisoned it?"

Xiao Yun knew that if that person did not discover anything, the old man would not tell him this story.

"It is not poison, but a very common disease in modern times."

"What disease?"

"Tetus," Wang Yao said.

"Huh?" Wang Yao asked.

Xiao Yun was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "That baby is a prince. Who dares to hurt him with weapons? How could he have tetanus?"

The old man said, "At that time, he also had the same question. Then, he went to check the life of the prince. In a short period of time, he was naturally taken care of, and no one would be able to harm him. So this matter, in the eyes of that researcher, could very well be an accident "

" Accident? "

"Yes, an accident."

The old man sighed and said: "The one who flipped through the ancient records and searched for this matter from all sorts of clues finally discovered a shocking fact in a corner that no one paid attention to"

"What is it?"

" The people of that era used scissors to cut off umbilical cord "

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment.

He did not react immediately.

But then he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "At that time, there was no advanced stainless steel, and there were no adequate disinfection measures, right?"

"Yes, so the baby had tetanus."

The corners of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched violently.

The old man sneered and said, "The people of the royal family naturally don't understand why they care so much about their children. And the midwife knows about it? They also do not know, even... Can you imagine? At that time, most of the infants who died prematurely died from scissors that used to cut umbilical cord. Countless people watched their children die in pain, but there was nothing they could do to reverse the situation. They didn't even know what happened or how their children died. They had used all sorts of methods to vent their anger on their children's mothers. They said that she was an unknown and even had some extreme families. She'll drive the mother who just gave birth and hasn't even left the menstruation period out of the house directly... The deceased are rather large. "

" This... "

Although Xiao Yun was a killer, when he heard these words, he also gnashed his teeth in hatred.

You're blaming those midwives? It should be, but the world did not know that it was their fault.

As expected... Ignorance was the original sin.

The old man said, "From the moment humans learned how to smelt iron to the appearance of 316 stainless steel, from the disinfection method to the use of water to various disinfectant drugs, this has been going on for thousands of years! And in the thousand years, the baby who died under these scissors... What was the weapon that killed the most people in the world? In fact, it was those scissors, comparing long sabers and bow and crossbow arrows. Even artillery weapons were much more terrifying. And this is the power of ignorance. "

Xiao Yun let out a long sigh, his body trembling slightly.

The old man said, "In a hundred years or a thousand years, some things that people call common sense now might also be ignorant."

"That kind of thing can only be known after a long, long time in the future."

"That's right, there are many things that we just found out, and then we discovered that many of the previous actions were quite serious mistakes, what should we do about it?"

Xiao Yun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that we can't find out."

"How could that be? Actually, we already vaguely know some things, but we still can't help but touch them. We know it's dangerous, but in front of benefits, we have nothing to fear. "

"What is it?"

Xiao Yun asked nervously.

The old man said, "Atomic energy. This is something that humans shouldn't touch, but some people can't help it. No one can resist the enormous energy it can produce."

"Why can't we resist it?"

"Because if it continues to develop, as long as humans break through another technical barrier, they can produce a huge amount of energy for everything in the world. This way, humans can have an inexhaustible amount of energy."

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"A good thing? Hehe, in this world, almost every civilization has a similar legend. It is that the gods have a power unique to them, something called godly power. If the gods gave it to them, they could have it in the human world, but if they went to get it themselves... If they took it, there would be a problem. If they touched the power a little bit... People would become demons or messy things. You will become a pig, a dog, a monster, and become a pile of mud..."

At this point, the old man suddenly said in a deep voice, "Do you think this is similar to nuclear energy?"

Xiao Yun was shocked, and he felt a chill in his heart. His whole body felt cold, and he could not catch his breath for a long time.

The old man continued, "Once you have that kind of thing, you will need to pay a huge price to obtain its energy. Talent! Reducing its consumption is something that someone can afford to pay, the old man said. Some people couldn't afford it, so they simply put it in some public places. To put it bluntly, they had no other choice. Once people were in a crisis of survival, they could not do anything about it. Then... morality, face, or law, they would not care. Even if you are openly shameless, what can you do?"

Xiao Yun's eyes twitched violently.

Humans had to pay a price for obtaining the power that only gods could possess.

This was a problem that had been mentioned in the ancient times.

But at the same time, Xiao Yun couldn't help but think about it.

Then why was there such a legend in all the civilizations in the world?

Could it be that every civilization had come into contact with a power that they shouldn't have come into contact with at some point in time?

This thought took root in Xiao Yun's heart.

Until he reincarnated into this world, he would always be self-aware.

He did not want to easily try something beyond the control of time and people.1

For example, the current Terraflame.

He had made it, but he had to bear the danger brought by the Earth fire.

For example... the woman whom he had once trusted the most had set up such a big plan just to take him away.

Was this the price he had to pay for crossing the boundary?

Xiao Yun did not know, and he could not explain it.

He let out a long sigh.

The golden blade was quite clean. It had been washed with water and then burned, making the blade as clean as new.

There was naturally no anti-inflammatory medicine. He could only hope that Leng Yueling's body's resistance was strong enough.

He cut open his arm and picked up the broken bones. The strange tree branches were quickly cut into the shape of a gap and then made thin pieces to wrap around the bones.

After a while of suturing.

After finishing all of this, Xiao Yun directly fell beside the bonfire. He covered his eyes, and his body trembled like a frightened child in the middle of the night.
