Chapter 201: Doomsday Cult
When Shang Fei took the initiative to greet him at the beginning, Xiang Yu wanted to ask him this question, but he kept hesitating and couldn't make up his mind. www.biquge.info It wasn't until he was already planning to leave Boulder City and investigate elsewhere that he finally spoke.
"Brother Shang Fei, after we left the village, we were in the process of marching all the way. We met some interesting people whose ideas were very new to me. I thought about it for a long time, and I think what they said seems to make sense, so I want to ask you for advice. ”
Shang Fei made a listening expression and said, "Please speak!"
"I've met a few people who claim to be self-help societies who say that humans can make their lives better through labor. It is said that people can live a good life without relying on God, and they do not need to pray to God, that they can grow and make their own food, that they can make their own tools, that they can build their own houses, and that they can have enough food and clothing through their labor! I looked at the large and desolate fields that I passed along the way, and looked at the abandoned tools in the fields, and suddenly I felt as if there was nothing wrong with what they said. People can live on their own, but why should we live on heaven! Since I have always lived in a small village in the middle of nowhere, I have little knowledge, and I would like to ask you about this question. After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he clenched his fists and bowed hard.
When Xiang Yu just opened his mouth to say that he would save himself, Shang Fei's face changed. He seemed to want to stop Xiang Yu from continuing, but Xiang Yu, who noticed his performance, immediately took a step back and sped up his speech, so that Shang Fei didn't have time to stop it at all.
Shang Fei's mouth opened and closed a few times, and finally sighed.
He said earnestly: "Brother Xiangyu, what you just said to me, you must not say it to others. ”
Although Xiang Yu had been prepared, he still chuckled in his heart.
He hurriedly asked, "Brother Shang Fei, why do you say that, is there something wrong?"
"Alas...... I've heard the self-help club you talked about, but the self-help club is just a self-proclaimed one. As you just said, it's just self-proclaimed. Hahaha!"
Shang Fei suddenly laughed wildly, making Xiang Yu a little at a loss. It took a while for Shang Fei to return to normal.
"You know what? Except for the members of the Self-Help Society's own body, everyone else calls them the Doomsday Cult!"
"Doomsday?"
Xiang Yu's heart immediately flashed with the appearance of Charles's serious efforts to make food for herself, the appearance of trying to lead her small team at a young age, and the cute look of not having much food in the earthen pot, but still sharing it with Xiang Yu and the others.
This meow's self-reliance, the most glorious thought of labor, now you tell me it's doomsdayism?
Xiang Yu thought in his heart, and the expression on his face was also a little wrong.
Shang Fei observed Xiang Yu carefully and sighed again. "It seems that Brother Xiang Yu, you really believe what they say. ”
Xiang Yu hurriedly made his expression calm, and pretended to be casual and said, "This...... Brother Shang Fei, you know that I have only only now come into contact with the Transsonic Stone and the public information board for the first time, and I am indeed a turtle, so ...... I really think there's nothing wrong with making your life better through labor!"
Shang Fei raised his hand and nodded to Xiang Yu a few times, and said, "You-you really should see more of the world and walk more." I don't know if any of the people you come into contact with who claim to be self-help have talked to you about their philosophy. ”
Xiang Yu thought about it seriously and said, "It seems that we talked about it, but I don't remember it too much." ”
"Hmph, have these guys fallen to the point where they can even deceive themselves!" Shang Fei said in a deep voice.
"Self-help associations, sometimes they say they are saviors. I'm sure they've told you what they mean by salvation. They keep saying that they want to save the world, that they are saving the world by making themselves well fed through their own labor. However, Brother Xiang Yu! What's wrong with this world? Does this world need to be saved? When they openly advertise that they are making food to lighten the burden of God, when they say this, does it mean that they mean: God is dying, and God is about to have no way to give food to the people! Heaven has reached the point where the people need to work to make food by themselves in order to continue to exist!"
Xiang Yu looked at Shang Fei in a daze, and Shang Fei's righteous indignant words made him completely unable to refute.
His mind was full of thoughts: there can be such a statement!
Xiang Yu recalled in his mind the bits and pieces of the time when he met Charles, and Charles did express this meaning. Although Xiang Yu couldn't comprehend what Shang Fei said from Charles's words, if you look at it in another direction, it is indeed very similar.
"This ......" Xiang Yu hesitated and said: "I really didn't expect this, and at that time, I only noticed that they said that it should be right to work hard to make your life better." Could it be that they are called Doomsday because of this?"
"That's right!" Shang Fei said righteously, "when they advertised that the heavens were about to fail. Brother Xiang Yu, you can imagine the panic they caused! Of course, no one believed them at first, after all, ordinary people were still able to get food from the heavens every day. But there was a time when I don't know what methods the Doomsday Cultists used to make a large number of ordinary people believe in them. That's when the farmland came into being. They took that strange tool like God, and then they planted food, claiming that they could grow food that could feed a lot of people with just a few people! And because they were like God asking for that kind of tool, for a while God became very strange and the food supply became intermittent. It became more and more convincing that their doomsday propaganda was right. However, you can see the end result. Heaven has returned to normal, and the rhetoric of Doomsday Church is self-defeating. The farmland they had cultivated was abandoned, and the tools that God had demanded were discarded in the fields. ”
Xiang Yu: "...... I really have never heard of such a thing. ”
"That's why I said Brother Xiangyu, you should take a look at it, think about it more, and don't be easily deceived by the Doomsday Sect. ”
Xiang Yu was silent.
Shang Fei continued: "The people who still believe in Doomsday are diehards, and in some places they will not welcome those people and expel them from towns and villages. Anyway, those guys who advertise that they rely on their own labor to obtain food, when they are hungry, they can ask for food from heaven, and they can't starve themselves to death! Brother Xiangyu, how ridiculous you say. They preach that they work to get food to make it easier for the heavens, but when they go to the wild, they still have to ask the heavens for food to keep themselves alive!hahahaha!"
Shang Fei laughed maniacally.
What came to Xiang Yu's mind was Charles's face and expression, and he was silent and did not speak.
