It was already dark, and they moved slowly through the dark night, and by the light of the stars, and by the soft moonlight that covered the earth like a veil, everything was clear.

Walking slowly along a road, so far, they haven't seen the crypt with the hotel sign hanging on the gate, so they just walked slowly, of course it's good if they can find it, forget it if they can't find it, they plan to find a hotel here to experience the feeling of living in a crypt, and it's nothing to walk up to ten kilometers to the town that doesn't know the name yet.

In the window of the cave dwelling on the side of the road, there was a yellow light flickering out, it should be the light of a candle, after all, it lived underground, although a series of measures made the interior very comfortable and warm, too dark would also cause some inconvenience.

Albert suddenly stopped, looked at a pillar engraved with an unknown totem, the two had already walked through the hill and the downhill road, this totem pole was on the flat ground, the roots did not know how deep, covered by more than ten centimeters of weeds, the top was engraved with an angry human face, it was a pillar for ancestor worship, several races have similar customs, where the origin of the first is no longer known, all the documents that can be studied have been lost and destroyed.

"It is believed that the totem pole represents the guardianship of the ancestors, and that the carving of one side of the human face in the direction of the dwelling can intimidate calamity and protect oneself and one's family, has lost its religious role in modern times and has become a custom, and at the same time, it is considered disrespectful to apply any paint to the pillar. ”

Cecilia's book details the role of the pillar: "It and things like it are mostly found in the northern regions and in the western woods. ”

"Seriously, I think such a pillar is a bit too plain, and it should be painted with some more patterns. She pursed her lips and put the book back into space, "I personally don't believe in these, and the facts have proved that after death, the soul will only dissipate naturally, only a few become [ghosts], the so-called ancestral blessing does not exist, I think it should have a little more patterns, this pillar is useless to stand here, it has no decorative effect." ”

"It has no religious role anymore, and the reason why it stands here is just a very conventional custom, just like your hometown grassland, where you believe that the grassland is alive, and all life souls will go to the ground after death, waiting for the next reincarnation of life, which is the so-called immortality.

The younger generation doesn't have a few Nobunaga, but they always have to recite a few words to worship the immortal heaven during the New Year's holidays, and there is an annual slaughter of cattle and sheep, but the sacrifice has become unimportant.

For people today, singing and dancing and food at that time were more important than the sacrifices themselves, and now only people in the western mountains and forests still believe in that system. ”

Smiling slightly, Albert bowed lightly to this pillar: "Although I don't know if it's useful, it's nothing if I try to salute." ”

"Aren't you disgusted with all religions?"

"It's nothing, it's just a salute, I don't believe it myself, but I won't interfere if others believe it or not, and I don't hate any religion. He shrugged his shoulders and replied casually, "The religions I hate are all commonal, only religions with those commonalities will I hate them to the core, and the rest, whatever you want, worship without paying money." ”

"yes, what are the commonalities you hate?"

"One, one who blames everything on fate, two, one who preaches that there is original sin in all human beings, third, one who believes that he can live in bliss, fourth, one who says one thing and does another, fifth, preaches that man should give up all desires, and sixth, he who says everything is a miracle, and I have been religious for a long time. ”

In his memory, he believed in God for a long time, only when he was a child.

Albert believes that all people can fight and fight for the future, so he does not believe in the saying that everything is blamed on fate; everyone is born with a blank slate, and their lives belong to them, so there is no original sin; as for those who believe in eternal life, he only thinks it is ridiculous, so many people have died throughout the ages, all of them have "lived in eternal bliss", what kind of chaos has that Elysium become?

Saying one thing and doing another, the Smolan Holy See is a typical example, saying things that lead people to goodness, but the inside is rotten, its existence is too long, its power is too great, its power is too concentrated, and decay is almost inevitable; preaching that people should be desperate to extinguish desires, and that people's desires have no limits is of course terrible, and they should indeed be controlled, but excessive restrictions are not right, desire is the driving force for people to move forward, and if they lose their motivation, people will become conservative and complacent, which is what he hates the most, and there is also the fact that he pushes everything to miracles, which is very stupid, and it is simply saying to people: as long as you are honestly a fool and don't know anything, you are a good person。

All in all, as long as it is a religion that does not have those few commonalities, he will not hate it.

But until now, he had never seen a sect of gods with such a strange style of painting [all kinds of customs can no longer be called a cult of gods].

"I'm probably not going to be religious for the rest of my life. Running his fingers over the stone pillars, he made up his mind that "I don't think those strange religions are worth following and believing in, and at most I will regard those sacrifices as solemn celebrations, and I will not insult and despise the clergy, and more will not be possible." ”

"I probably can't really find a place to stay here, let's just sit here for a while, and then look for a while, if we can't find it, it's okay to walk a little more. ”

Sitting on the ground, the grass on the ground is a natural cushion, lying on it will also feel very good, looking up, unknown stars or glowing by themselves, or reflecting the light, that is all the words and data can not fully describe the beauty, shining galaxy, people call it not the Milky Way, so he doesn't know if it's the Milky Way, if it's really the Milky Way, but the name is different, then he looks up at the sky, will one of the stars be the earth?

Albert always had similar associations, so he liked to look up at the sky when he was free.

Tilting his head slightly, the two of them could see the pillar, he stretched, took a deep breath, and summed up what he said: "Unless there is such a strange religion in the world: if he doesn't tell you false, he will generously tell you that he believes in him for good luck, and people don't have to grovel to God, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, tell you that people should learn more to create, and fate is in their own hands, I won't believe in religion, for example... ”

"Like what?"

"For example, Noodle Maniac Raven 12345 or something, it's better not to pay money, in that case, don't want money anyway, how much to believe. ”

“。。。 [Joke] on [Earth]?"

"Almost, just listen to it. ”

"Oh. ”
