Chapter 122: The Boundaries of God
In Zhang Wei's room, Bai Ze squatted on the stool next to the bed and stared at Zhang Wei who was lying in the quilt, and the resentment in his eyes was so thick that it was about to drip out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fireworks have been over, Zhang Wei went back to bed and went to sleep, Bai Ze has been looking at him with this kind of eyes since he was scared just now, until now.
"I said Brother Mao, let's discuss with you, can you stop looking at me like this?" Zhang Wei said in a low voice, he was afraid of waking his parents again.
"You deliberately teased me, right?" Bai Ze was obviously angry about Zhang Wei's "schadenfreude" just now.
"Didn't I greet you in advance and let you get out of the way?" Zhang Wei replied with a smile and forced himself to put on a serious face.
"Hmph! I'm sure now, not only are you 'not like a good person', you're a bad guy at all!" Bai Ze knows people's will, how can he not see Zhang Wei's hypocrisy?
"Okay, okay, I'm a big villain, there are a lot of cat brothers, don't worry about me, can you let me sleep?
"Don't call me 'cat'! Human! I've endured you for a long time!" Bai Ze finally broke out, being teased by Zhang Wei's guy, and shouting at the left and the right, he was so angry, he jumped directly on the bed and squatted on Zhang Wei's chest, and his front paws came to Zhang Wei's face with a "cat fist".
Unfortunately, its physical body was essentially embodied by Zhang Wei's supernatural powers, and it was unable to inflict substantial damage on Zhang Wei, and all attacks were "judged" as invalid attacks.
Although it was not painful or itchy with such a blow, it opened the automatic "defense" of Zhang Wei's "riot molecules", and a large number of riot molecules began to be released in the pores.
And then Bai Ze, of course...... Didn't hit the trick.
Even if it is not an adult body, even if it is only embodied by borrowing Zhang Wei's power, it is also out of the category of ordinary creatures, it can be said that it is actually a semi-material, half-energy body, no longer through the primitive neural network for body control, it has no brain tissue, because its skull contains not a brain, but its divine beast spirit.
Therefore, such a sharp weapon for ordinary creatures as the "riot molecule" is of little use to it.
Bai Ze's "cat fist" doesn't hurt at all on his body, and it's very comfortable - this guy has the same meat balls on his paws as cats, and they are even softer than cats' palms.
Zhang Wei got cheap and behaved, pretending to have a painful expression, Bai Ze was very relieved, stopped the attack, and snorted proudly: "This time I will spare you first, and next time I will say that I am a cat, and I will beat you once!"
After speaking, it stood up arrogantly, walked on two feet, squatted on the corner of Zhang Wei's bed, and crossed its body.
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes.
As soon as he returned to his hometown, he got such a series of "gifts", and Zhang Wei felt that he could wake up with a smile when he fell asleep.
The sound of firecrackers around gradually subsided, and the mountain village returned to its original tranquility.
In the silence, Zhang Wei soon fell asleep.
…………
Zhang Wei dreamed that he had become a vast continent, and then a huge mountain flew from the sky and pressed on his "body".
"Ah, it's so heavy, I feel like I'm out of breath. Zhang Wei in his sleep said such dream words.
Then he woke up and saw a certain beast squatting proudly on his chest.
"Brother Cat, you hold a grudge like this, it's not like the bearing that a divine beast should have!" Zhang Wei said with a wry smile, no wonder he would have the dream of "Mount Tai pressing the top", it turned out that this guy was "ghost pressing".
"Human, you can really sleep. Bai Ze didn't bother to correct Zhang Wei's title anymore, anyway, it had been correcting Zhang Wei for a while, and it was flattened, "I've already come back from the misty area you arranged, that's the illusion ability of [Mirage], right?"
Zhang Wei sat up, nodded, and reached out to hug Bai Ze away, but was dodged by it.
"You really deserve to be Bai Ze, you know so much. Zhang Wei lifted the quilt and got dressed.
"Of course, there are no gods, ghosts, demons and immortals in this land that I don't know. Bai Ze jumped out of bed, his tail cocked high.
"So, the omniscient Xiao Bai Ze, I have always had a question that I am very confused, can you help me answer it?" Zhang Wei asked while wearing his pants.
"Of course, I'm here to help you, and I'll tell you anything I can say if you want to know. Bai Ze said.
"You said that you once had a physical body, and there were originally many other divine beasts with strange abilities besides you, right?" Zhang Wei asked, "What I want to ask is that since ancient times, human beings have been worshipping various natural gods, and is there any of these gods who have the same real body as your divine beasts?"
"If you say 'gods' by idols of human worship in temples or carved in stone, such 'gods' have no physical body, they are 'gods' born of the common beliefs of most human beings, and they have no substance, and if you have to forcibly compare them, they are similar to ghosts!" Bai Ze replied.
"Oh, then why do you divine beasts have physical bodies, and where did you come from?" Zhang Wei asked, "You all possess all kinds of incredible supernatural powers, what is the boundary between you and the 'gods'?"
"Our divine beasts, if you have to say, are creatures that appeared in this world before you humans, and the 'supernatural' you are talking about is only beyond the 'natural forces' that you humans understand, and countless years before the appearance of your human beings, our 'divine beasts' have mastered their own abilities, but it seems that you humans still can't understand our abilities, for example, you still call us 'divine beasts'. ”
"As for the boundary between us and the 'gods', let's put it this way, at the beginning, when you humans were still in primitive society, the 'totem' and 'gods' worshipped by many human tribes were actually our divine beasts, such as [Dragon], [Phoenix], [Qilin], etc., and later your human beings developed from generation to generation, and your belief in the gods also changed from the initial simple 'awe' of power to 'don't ask for anything', and for these' The divine beasts don't want to respond, and it is impossible to satisfy them, because human desires are unlimited, and some 'wishes' are too exaggerated and outrageous, for example, some human beings want to live forever, haha, none of our divine beasts can really live forever, and how can we help human beings realize this outrageous ambition?"
"Therefore, human beings gradually ceased to worship our divine beasts, but imagined all kinds of gods that could fulfill their wishes, imagined that they had all kinds of powers, and they began to worship this non-existent thing, and over time, the nothingness that brought together many human beliefs appeared in this world in an absolutely nothing, like ghosts, between 'nothingness' and 'existence', but it absolutely could not affect the real world. ”
"Unlike the 'primordial gods' like the divine beasts, the 'gods' formed by the convergence of human beliefs will respond to the prayers of the believers, even if they can't do anything at all, they will be full of promises to human beings, unlike our divine beasts, few of them put greedy human beings in their eyes, and the 'gods' of the 'faith combination' are the best at controlling people's hearts after they have their own will, because they are originally born of people's hearts! Therefore, human beings are becoming more and more inseparable from the so-called gods they have imagined, because they are the sustenance of their desires and hearts. ”
"Humans are very weak, they have been in awe of our power since the ancient times, and for the strongest of our divine beasts, there is not much difference between humans and ants. But humans are inherently ambitious races, and when they discover that they can resist the power of certain mythical beasts through their unwavering beliefs, their ambitions swell to the point of no return. ”
"Yes, it is true that the 'gods' they imagined could not have a slight impact on the mortal world, but they could miraculously weaken the power of the divine beasts, and this discovery undoubtedly gave humanity the greatest courage - they began to raise their butcher knives against our divine beasts. Bai Ze said this, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
What was the result, Bai Ze didn't go on, because there was no need - in this era, can you find another divine beast to show me? The result, of course, is self-explanatory.
Most of the mythical beasts are extinct.
"Of course, not all human beings have no chance to transform their desires into faith, for example, King Dayu, he is a true human hero, a great king, when the flood is raging, some human beings will only cry all day long, to their own faith' The gods prayed for help, but unfortunately those useless gods couldn't help them at all; King Dayu was different, he took his subordinates to go all over the mountains and rivers, digging ditches, dredging water conservancy, and using human beings to defeat natural disasters with their own strength, and also saved a lot of sacred beasts that were used as sacrifices by humans along the way. Bai Ze said, "He is a just king, during his reign on the earth, all human beings and beasts must get along equally, unfortunately, as I said before, no one in this world can live forever, King Dayu is just a human being, although there are majestic strategies, although there are many divine beasts to assist him, but he still has birth, old age, sickness and death." ”
"After the death of King Dayu, it is the beginning of the disaster of our divine beasts, the further back, the fewer the divine beasts, to this day, there should be no living divine beasts in this world, of course, maybe other Jiuding also blesses the spirit of the divine beast like me. Bai Ze said.
Listening to Bai Ze's words, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think in his mind, yes, during the Yellow Emperor period, there were indeed divine beasts everywhere, and there were also various divine beasts to help during Dayu's water control, and even Dayu's wife was said to be a certain [nine-tailed fox].
That era is really desirable, which is like now, even in the countryside, not to mention the mythical beasts, under the large-scale pesticide pollution, even frogs and toads are rare.
At this point, Zhang Wei had a clearer understanding of the boundary between "divine beasts" and "gods" for the first time, and he knew that the divine turtle lurking under the South China Sea should also be a divine beast.
"You're talking about [Mole], a huge divine beast, that's a female ...... Cough...... Have you seen it?" Bai Ze said after listening to Zhang Wei's description of the characteristics of the Divine Turtle.
"yes, when I saw it, it was dying. Zhang Wei replied, he heard what Bai Ze seemed to want to say just now, and then stopped.
"Xiaowei, who are you talking to?" Zhang Wei's father shouted outside the door, "Come out for breakfast!"
…………
Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of scallion oil noodles, two fried eggs, Zhang Wei's parents usually save money, and it is naturally impossible to prepare any food at home, but there are some cured meats in the cellar, which are eaten during the New Year.
Zhang Wei's mother was very kind, knowing that Bai Ze was the "cat" that Zhang Wei picked up, and she didn't drive it away, but gave Bai Ze an omelette, but Bai Ze is not an ordinary organism, not even brain tissue, let alone a digestive system, it is nourished by the power of the earth's leylines, how can it eat human grains?
"Xiaowei, do you remember that Cao Xiaodong?" during the meal, Zhang Aiguo said, "It is the son of the village chief Cao Laotou's family, the one who is two years older than you." ”
"Remember, even though I'm older, I beat me up when I was in junior high school. Zhang Wei replied with a mouthful of noodles, this noodle is from his father, and the level is also very good.
"He is the only undergraduate student in our village, originally worked in a bank in our provincial capital, is the most promising child in our village, he also came back this morning, I heard that he was admitted to the civil service, or a civil servant in Deep Blue City, has been on an errand in the Deep Blue City Government for more than half a year, you and I will meet him later, you are now in a city, he works in the government, between fellow villagers, how to take care of it. Zhang Aiguo said.
Zhang Wei is not interested in meeting any civil servants, what does he have to do as a billionaire to get a small civil servant? Besides, he is very familiar with the secretary of the Shenlan Municipal Party Committee.
"Uncle Zhang, I have come to you in the early years, is Zhang Wei at home?" Just as he thought about refusing, a voice came in from outside the door.
