"It's nothing, it's just that I heard about the 'New Year' just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" said the master.

"The Chinese New Year is a big festival, is it where everyone gathers...... Well, in Chinese, it's a kind of festival, isn't it?" the master asked.

"Ha, it's completely different, a festival is a festival, a festival is a festival. Lu Wu replied casually. "A festival or something...... It should be called a festival if it is religious in nature, and it is a sacrifice to the gods or something. Holidays are completely different, festivals are celebrated...... Most of the celebrations for a reason have nothing to do with the gods. ”

"What, are there gods on earth?" the master's voice suddenly became urgent.

"Aren't you able to access the Internet?" Lu Wu felt so strange.

In fact, this is not the fault of the master, but a kind of inertia of thinking. Since the master and Lu Wu were partnered, they have never seen Lu Wu participate in any religious activities - a common occurrence for a new generation of young people in China. Or that the Chinese are not a superstitious people in the first place. It is precisely for this reason that the master will have this misunderstanding.

"I mean...... How many gods are wrong?" the master didn't even bother to go online. This kind of questioning for small things is far faster than looking up information on the Internet.

"Of course, there are many gods on Earth. Lu Wu didn't notice the master's abnormality. "Let's say...... There's a Christ church over there. ”

"Christ Church...... Is there a kind of temple, and which deity is that church worshipped?"

"The Chinese name is God, and the English name is God," Lu replied as he descended the stairs. "All-Knowing and All-Powerful God......"

"Lu Wu is not his follower, right? You know, omniscient and omnipotent...... At best, it is just a slogan, and no God can be omniscient and omnipotent. The master said disapprerovingly. "Not to mention God, even if it is a god on God, the kind that is also called plane consciousness, it cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. Setting rules and breaking rules are fundamentally conflicting, and it is impossible to have one concept to have the other. ”

"God is the Creator. Lu Wu said. Like most Chinese, Lu Wu is quite liberal about faith. It cannot be said that he is a complete non-believer, because he must enter the temple, and it is okay for him to kowtow. It cannot be said that Lu Wu is a believer in a certain god, but that he is a pan-believer. Basically, he belongs to the person who burns incense when he sees the temple and worships the Buddha, but he is only to the extent of burning incense. If someone asks Lu Wu to participate in any activities from a religious point of view, even if it is in his spare time, unless Lu Wuxian's eggs hurt or are profitable, he is definitely too lazy to go.

"Neither ......can the Creator," the master said decisively. "Does that God have any religious texts?"

"Yes, the name is Bible, including the 'New Testament,' the 'Old Testament,' and the like. ”

"Except for this one," in a place where Lu Wu couldn't see, electromagnetic signals began to be received and sent by mobile phones, "Are there any other gods?"

"A lot, such as the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, the Taishang Laojun...... Wait, Taishang Laojun is not a god, but an immortal...... And Allah Allah and the like...... "Lu Wuyi said all the names of the gods that he could think of at first."

"These are all ...... Is it the kind of god who has a whole bunch of other gods as subordinates?"

"Sort of. Lu Wu replied. For this topic, he just thinks it's the curiosity of the masters, so he doesn't care.

The master fell silent and stopped talking. Lu Wu had already entered the warehouse on the first floor, picked up a crowbar, and began to try to pry a box open. As he had said to Amber before, he was going to inspect the goods. In fact, his approach is a bit redundant, because Ren Jian has always taken profiteers as his life goal, so he has a deep understanding of any kind of profiteer methods. When such a person buys something, it is almost impossible to be deceived.

"Lu Wu, why do several of these gods you just mentioned claim to be the master of everything, omniscient and omnipotent? Can such gods coexist?" Lu Wu had just pried open a box when the master asked.

"This ...... Who knows? I'll have to ask a pastor about it. But according to my thoughts, they probably all call each other false gods. By the way, there was also a Crusades in the Middle Ages, and that was the religious war between Christianity and ****** religion. Lu Wu replied, he was finally a little strange, why was the master so interested in this topic?

"So, are there any fallen gods?" the master asked.

"You mean God died?"

"It doesn't have to be dead...... I mean, it's hard to tell whether God is really dead or fake. But God can be forgotten. Mortals may remember it, know its name, and tell its story, but they no longer worship him or pray to him. ”

"Yes, the Olympian gods. Lu Wu remembered Greek mythology. "Led by Zeus, the legendary gods who lived on Mount Olympus, but after the rise of Christianity, these gods declined. You can just Baidu it!"

After a long time, that is, after Lu Wu re-built the box, the master finally spoke.

"It's fake, those are certainly not gods!" said the master's voice in the headphones, this time the voice was no longer the usual arrogance and rap, but instead had a sense of anger and corruption. "Is there really a god on earth?"

"This ...... I don't know. "Lu Wu was a little inexplicable. "Why do you keep asking this?"

"It's important to me! Partner, don't joke about this. ”

"Well, I personally think there is no God...... But if there really is a god, it is not surprising. In China, there are many atheists, for example, the ruling party is explicitly atheist. But on the other hand, there are many people who believe in God. ”

"Atheism...... This country is ruled by atheists? over a billion people...... No...... As long as there is a true God, the world will not allow such talk to exist, let alone allow it to grow......! No, it can only be like this......"

There was an indescribable feeling in the master's voice, and it was unclear whether it was boredom or self-deprecation.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Nothing. "The strange emotions of the master come and go quickly. "Truth be told, partner, Earth is truly a magical place. Of all the planes I've traveled, there aren't many worlds without God. ”

"What is the world like with gods?

"The gods don't necessarily rule everything, but they are also an important part of the world. The master replied. "A world with God is always stronger than a world without God. ”

"Why?"

"Isn't that a matter of course? A force is governed by some intelligent will, and it must be more efficient than if it were spontaneous, isn't it? A group of soldiers fighting under the command of a general, and the spontaneous resistance of the same group of soldiers, the effect is not exaggerated. However, it is a little puzzling that a world like the earth, which has strict rules and strong world barriers, can have no gods. ”

……

The rest of the time was spent in this calm.

Time passed imperceptibly, the car sent batch after batch of crystals, and the station in W City, which will never be lonely, sent away batch after batch of migrant workers. In the last month, almost every day, it was clearly felt that the whole city of W was becoming empty day by day. Pedestrians and vehicles on the streets are decreasing at an alarming rate.

The prosperity of coastal cities is due to the fact that it attracts a large number of immigrants. It was only after most of the migrant workers had left that W City revealed its true face: there were cars on the road, but it was definitely not crowded, and there were people on the streets, but they were not able to bear shoulders.

Amber still lives her old life, reading books, listening to songs, and buying a small microphone to sing karaoke on the computer from time to time. Normally, this practice is a source of disputes between neighbors, but Amber surprisingly didn't cause much trouble this time, at least no one came to protest. As for the reason, Lu Wu personally thinks that Amber sings very well.

With Lu Wu's music level, it can only be described as "good".

On the last day before the end of the year, the last batch of crystals was delivered to the warehouse on the first floor.

The Chinese New Year's Eve arrived imperceptibly. The streets were filled with shops of all kinds, especially dim sum shops, which had been closing their doors one by one, and on this day, only the last shop on the entire street was still holding on. And the only reason it can hold on is because it's a local couple who opened the shop.

There are very few vehicles on the streets, and as a characteristic of rural areas (although they are urban villages), there are more people visiting the doors. Probably because the people who went out came back, so on this day, the whole place was set up by the east family and the west family held a banquet. At noon, the shouts of drinking can be seen everywhere, a prosperous scene of the New Year.

Lu Wu stood in front of the window and looked at the street in front of him in a daze.

I could see a family on the street in front of me putting a table banquet on the sidewalk - usually this kind of thing is definitely inappropriate, because it will seriously obstruct traffic, and maybe provoke the city management and the like, but now it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so there is no need to worry about this.

Although Lu Wu had already decided not to go home for the Chinese New Year this year, in fact, he still felt very bad when he saw such a lively scene of the whole family reuniting and eating, drinking, and playing mahjong together.

The so-called "homesickness" is a difficult to explain, but it is a real emotion. To be honest, in modern society, transportation is so developed that people who have breakfast in Beijing in the morning can have dinner in Hainan in the evening. One day is enough time for people to easily cross thousands of kilometers of distance, from south to north, from east to west, where they want to go? It stands to reason that people will not particularly cherish what is at their fingertips.

However, the accumulated influence, or tradition, of certain cultures is strong. It wasn't until this moment that Lu Wu realized that he was actually homesick. Although he had been mentally prepared before, although he had already made up his mind, it did not affect his melancholy mood at the moment.

No, it's just a little jealous. Lu Wu made a reason for himself in his heart. While others were enjoying the feast, I could only eat simple food at home.
