Chapter 21: Questions about God in the Temple
Next, Qin Zheng and his entourage had some innocuous conversations with General Shi, and they had a little general understanding of the lives of the earth spirits here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In general, the earth spirit people had frequent intercourse with humans in ancient times, so they were also assimilated a lot by humans in terms of life and habits, and have been inherited to this day.
In other words, except for their appearance that is different from humans, you can treat them as human beings, and this underground city is a human-like earth spirit society.
This place is called Mengcheng, but this Meng, is not taken from the surname of the Tuling patriarch, but in turn, the surname of the patriarch comes from this city.
And the continuation of the patriarch has nothing to do with the bloodline, they completely rely on the comparison of all aspects and the election of the people of the earth spirit, and the best people of the contemporary earth spirit clan can take on the position of the patriarch.
And once they become the patriarch, or become the person who is about to become the patriarch, they will give this extremely precious Mongolian character to this person as a surname, and at the same time, people who have made great contributions to the Tuling clan can also enjoy this Mongolian character as a surname.
For example, the current patriarch Mendel, his real name is Lidel, and he later took the surname Meng, so he has the current Mendel.
As for where this Mongolian surname came from, General Shi doesn't seem to know very well, history continues to their generation, many things have been forgotten, but it has become a habitual custom to respect, and few people will go to the bottom of it.
So Qin Zheng could only take this curiosity and doubt to get to know the Mengcheng in front of him.
Of course, many of the Earth Spirit Clans on the road also looked at this group of people who looked obviously different from them with curiosity and onlookers.
As for the arrival of the god of war, it had already spread among the earth spirit clan, so many earth spirit people quickly reacted, and immediately after, they even began to bow down.
One earth spirit knelt down, and then one after the other, and they all looked excited and excited, because Lian Yun was the god they worshipped the most.
Of course, they couldn't tell the difference between Lianyun and Panpan, so they worshiped regardless of 3721, and Qin Zheng was also stained with light, and was bowed down by many earth spirits.
This kind of scene made Qin Zheng and Pan Pan extremely uncomfortable, but Lian Yun looked calm, and she said with a little smugness, "I had thousands of disciples back then, and the battle was much better than this. ā
As soon as he heard her say disciple, Qin Zheng suddenly remembered that in Rootless Island, the most widely circulated was not the God of War catalogue left by Lian Yun?
And the God of War Catalogue comes from the disciples of the God of War, and the number of remnants of the God of War Catalogue also shows that Lian Yun was very lively at that time.
They went all the way into the city of Mongolia, and finally came to a rather simple place where it could be seen to be a palace, and they went around to the back of the palace, where there was an extremely large building.
The size of this building is several minutes larger than that of the upper palace, and there are several towering stone pillars at the door, supporting a huge courtyard.
It's a temple.
Qin Zheng had seen similar buildings, so he only needed to guess the function of this building at a glance.
He thought about it carefully and understood that the god of war was the belief god of the earth spirit clan, so it seemed understandable that the god of war lived in the temple dedicated to the god of war.
"Two adults, and Mr. Qin, this is our God of War Temple, and after the God of War Temple, it is your resting place. General Shi stopped abruptly before reaching the door of the temple, then removed all his armor, helmet, and even combat boots, and then walked barefoot into the temple wearing a simple undershirt.
Qin Zheng was stunned and said, "General Shi, you are ......"
"Oh, that's right, although I haven't worn this armor on the battlefield, but it is a thing left over from the ancestors of the earth spirits, and the bloody aura on the armor is too heavy, so I'm afraid of disturbing the adults. ā
Saying that, General Shi bowed to the temple a little habitually, and then Qin Zheng noticed that in the center of the depths of the temple, there was a huge statue, could it be an infinitely enlarged version of Pan Pan and Lianyun?
It's just strange that in this statue, although Lian Yun is holding a carved giant axe, his movements and expression are exactly the same as the statue in Qin Zheng's hand!
"God of War God of War, war-hungry as life, how can he be afraid of any bloody aura!" Lian Yun pursed his lips and muttered, only to feel that the earth spirit people were a little too much.
General Shi looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, in fact, no matter what race, he would be cautious about his noble beliefs, but to ask those gods themselves, maybe many things were unnecessary.
Moreover, Qin Zheng also asked Lian Yun that the Earth Spirit Clan's belief in her would not bring her any benefits, it was just the satisfaction of vanity.
At that time, there were thousands of her disciples, and there were countless people who offered her stone statues at home, so she was also quite domineering at that time.
As for the Tuling clan, the entire race of the Tuling clan is indeed a relatively prosperous race among the hundred races, but in terms of strength, with the strength of Lian Yun at that time, one finger could destroy their entire clan, so the so-called worship of faith is actually the worship of strength.
"What is the so-called God? After General Shi left, Qin Zheng stood in the center of the temple, looking at Lian Yun's huge statue, puzzled.
He knew that the earliest god was the wind god Lin Zhongwu, and the wind god was the folk definition of the people of the Soul Martial Continent, because Lin Zhongwu was an unsurpassable existence in their hearts, just like a god.
But then he knew that it wasn't, because it was just a god realm, just a powerful person, and people with the strength of the god realm were all over the root island.
However, Rootless Island, how could it not be the one imagined by the people of the Revenant Continent, the abode of the gods?
Regarding the question of God, even Lin Xiyu, who grew up in the Divine Domain, could not give him an accurate definition of God, not to mention that Lin Xiyu was still a half-atheist.
And Lin Xiyu vaguely began to waver about godlessness, or after getting to know Qin Zheng's weird system.
Later, Qin Zheng also asked Duan Lao, Duan Lao was also a god in their original world, and they were still gods when they came to the Soul Martial Continent, known as the god of the Heavenly Palace, that is, the god of heaven.
Duan Lao said that there is no god in the true sense of this world, and the meaning of God is too broad, but if you really want to define the supreme existence as God, there is only one standard, and that is creation.
God is what can be created.
And now, standing in the temple, he asked once again at the ancient god of war enshrined in this huge temple, an existence called a god who really has countless believers, "Lianyun, what is a god?"
Lian Yun stood in front of her god statue, and was also stunned when she heard Qin Zheng's question, and then she smiled and turned back and asked, "What do you think, what is a god?"
