Chapter 2 Burning Zhao Hong
"Wizard, I don't believe in your judgment, if he is such a terrible demon, how can he appear in our place? According to legend, in ancient times, Mother Earth walked on the ground, and every step she took left countless flowers and trees on the ground, and her sweat fell on the ground to form a river, her jumps became mountains, and her sighs became swampy deserts. So there is our world. ”
A man dressed in animal skin clothes walked out, and as soon as she spoke, the people next to her shut up, this person was the administrator of this small tribe, and this person still had some prestige in the tribe.
And those places that Mother Earth has not set foot in, because of envy of other places that have been blessed by Mother Earth, have become the same. Whether it is mountains and rivers, or swamps and deserts, the jealousy of these places becomes demons, and they do all kinds of evil, and they are disgusted by Mother Earth. ”
This man is talking about the myth that Mother Earth created the world, at least the myth that they have passed down by word of mouth.
In fact, this piece of land is surrounded by outsiders outside the city of the Celestial Continent, or the Celestial Realm. There are simply too many versions of the myths and legends of Mother Earth.
And that's just one of them.
As for who Mother Earth really is?
A god and demon, but it is certain that Mother Earth is definitely not her real name, because there is no god or demon named Mother Earth.
Was this world created by Mother Earth? Certainly not.
How the world came to be is difficult to say, and most of it is inference and speculation.
Some say it is nature, some say that there is a supreme being to create, and some say that it is the interweaving of ideas. There are many strange sayings.
These statements are always self-justifying, and the creatures themselves do not have the height to observe, nor do they have the wisdom to judge. Therefore, there will be no indisputable and absolute answer to this question in the short term.
If there is a creator in the world of Roar, it must be Roar.
But the Heaven-Swallowing Giant Beast roared, and only after the first sublimation of his life, he decomposed his body and then formed a place for living beings to live and reproduce, and then formulated a series of rules by himself.
It's just that this level of roar, perhaps in the eyes of the weak, is the creator god.
But Cang Roar himself knows that in the vast world. He was as small as a particle of dust, insignificant.
If there is a true God in the world, it is also an existence that cannot be touched by mortal wisdom and indescribable by mortal language.
So strictly speaking, Mother Earth could not be the one who created the world.
Is Mother Earth the Creator who, like the Roar, created this environment for life and reproduction?
Therefore, the Mother Earth that these people believe in, the infinitely benevolent and great Mother Earth that they describe, is a god and demon who does not even know her real name, and the gods and demons are only neutral and evil, and there has never been a truly good one.
In their myths, Mother Earth, who created everything, is just a myth.
"Therefore, the evil demons must be burned to death, and the demons must be burned to death, and Mother Earth will bless us so that we can have a good harvest every year. It's getting better and better. At this point, the man in the animal skin paused and continued, "But how can you be sure that he is a demon?"
The thin old wizard frowned, "You doubt my judgment?"
"It's not that you doubt your judgment, but that if you want to burn this man to death, you must prove that he is really a demon. Ever since the chief had made the wise elders set the rules. We have been doing things according to the rules, so that our tribe can develop until now. in order to make our tribe strong. Our small tribe is also a member of the big tribe, although it is small, but we also have to obey the orders of the chief and obey the chief's management. Then you can't kill someone who doesn't have the ability to fight back for no reason. So if you want to burn him, you have to prove that he is really a threat. ”
Men in animal skins are aggressive.
"I saved you!"
Zhao Hong heard the conversation between the two people on the side, and felt that his opportunity had come.
It would be a great injustice to be burned here.
"I saved your lives, you said that demons are the embodiment of evil, do all kinds of evil, then demons will not save people, I saved your lives, help you defend against foreign enemies. You can't kill me!" Zhao Hong tried his best to defend himself.
After listening to those conversations just now, Zhao Hong also knows his own situation very well. The most important thing is that Zhao Hong is too weak now, although he saved his life from the curse, and the curse in his body is still slowly dissipating, which is very good.
But if at this time, when he was at his weakest, he was burned alive by a group of superstitious guys, it would be too wronged.
"You are talking nonsense! I saw it, and my eyes are proof! You fell from the sky with a fire from the sky, and the fire spread continuously, the forest turned into scorched earth, the stream boiled, and the lives were destroyed!"
"Burn him, burn him!"
"Demon, burn this demon!"
This old wizard was obviously very prestigious, and with just one sentence, the crowd immediately boiled. They all shouted that they wanted to burn Zhao Hong.
"But what you see is not evidence. The man in the animal skin frowned.
"Of course! A wizard doesn't lie, that person must be a demon!"
"Yes, the wizard has said it, we don't believe the wizard's words, do we believe the demon?"
"If I'm a demon, then why save you!"
Zhao Hong gritted his teeth and asked.
"You're not here to save us, you're here to kill someone, but it's just that it's not our people who happened to be killed. The wizard said.
In the face of this kind of strong words, Zhao Hong was very helpless, but he still defended: "If I am a demon, how can I be caught by you." ”
The thin old wizard sneered, then pointed at Zhao Hong with a dry finger and scolded loudly: "When you first appeared, you were very powerful, but then you fainted, because you stepped on the land blessed by Mother Earth, and it was Mother Earth who helped us subdue you! This is the direct evidence that can prove that you are a demon!"
With the old wizard shouting, there was a sudden boiling below.
"Burn him!"
"Burn him!"
"Burn him!"
"Shut up! If you let the chief know that you don't obey his laws and kill people, an army will come and kill us all! But if you break the law of the chief, no one will live, you will all die, and your children under the age of 10 will have their feet cut off and become the lowest slaves!"
The man in the animal skin shouted angrily, and suddenly became quiet again.
