Whether it was Su Yichen or Wan Changchun, they had never associated this place with the legendary Garden of Eden like Lin Jia, and for a while they almost thought that Lin Jia was a little mentally disturbed because he had stayed in this place alone for a long time?
However, when they carefully read what Lin Jia wrote, they were shocked and at the same time couldn't help but admit that although Lin Jia's assumption was extremely bold, it also had a certain logic.
In addition to the fact that this world is very similar to the description of the legendary Garden of Eden, what is more important is the two strange giant trees. According to the Bible, there were two "trees of good and evil" in the Garden of Eden, and the trees bore fruit. But at the same time, it is written in the Bible that Adam and Eve, under the temptation of the serpent, stole the "forbidden fruit" from the tree of good and evil, and this forbidden fruit is described as an "apple" in other texts of the Western church, and it has become a consensus that the tree of good and evil is the apple tree. Lin Jia had eaten the fruit of the tree, and according to the notes in his notes, the taste of the fruit was indeed somewhat similar to that of apples, and if these two trees were the legendary trees of good and evil, then they were the two famous "apple trees", and their fruits were also known as the forbidden apples.
Later, Ringa makes two observations about the release of rearing and rearing, which also explain why Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Eating the "forbidden fruit" violated God's rules and was banished, perhaps only by human beings after the fact, or perhaps it was also a reasonable explanation for their expulsion from the Garden of Eden for God. And the real reason may be as Lin Jia assumed, this is just a huge man-made natural biosphere, and the "gods" put some male humans codenamed Adam and female humans codenamed Eve into this biosphere, and kept them in a certain area in the same way that humans used to raise and observe animal habits, so as to conduct some scientific research.
When the research was over, or the so-called gods decided to leave the place, they were released back into nature. Human beings who return to the natural world suddenly go from a "paradise" where they do not worry about food and drink, and do not worry about food, clothing, hunger, cold and any danger to the outside world full of crises and face cruel survival at any time.
Throughout the ages, Western mythology and Eastern mythology have many similar aspects, which may seem coincidental to modern people, but they are also unsolvable mysteries.
To take the simplest example, in the Bible, it is written that the LORD God created Adam and Eve, and when the LORD God created Adam, he made himself out of clay, and Eve was created by the LORD God from Adam's body and out of the flesh made of clay.
In the East, the famous god Nuwa also has the same legend of creating man from clay, and the two cultures of the East and the West, which are thousands of miles apart and almost impossible to communicate with each other in ancient times, have a surprising similarity in this regard, that is, the gods created man out of clay, thus creating human beings.
Moreover, in the legend about the Garden of Eden, there is another important figure besides the Lord God, and that is the "serpent". In the Western world, the "snake", also known as the devil, is the greatest enemy of God, and the two are interdependent, and there is a god and a devil, and they are never separated.
However, in the East, the shape of the god Nuwa is the appearance of a human head and a snake body, and according to Eastern philosophy, the human heart is divided into good and evil, and each is divided into yin and yang. In Buddhism, it is also said that one thought is a Buddha, and one thought is a demon. The appearance of gods (or Buddhas) is often accompanied by demons (devils), and the two are two poles that are never separated. Isn't it a coincidence that the so-called god and the "snake" in the West have a strange overlap with the image of Nuwa as one and the human snake?
"What's wrong, Lao Wan? Why do you and Xiao Su have such expressions? ”
Hu Zhijun looked at Su Yichen and Wan Changchun who were standing on the spot very strangely, he didn't understand why these two people suddenly looked so strange. He also read the contents of Lin Jia's notebook on the side, as for the large number of Shinto things written behind Lin Jia, he couldn't understand anything, and when he was about to ask Wan Changchun what was written here, he found out that the two of them were strange.
"I'm not as good as him, not as good as Lin Jiaya......." Who would have thought that Wan Changchun would first take a long breath after waking up in a dream, and then shake his head and sigh.
Su Yichen also had this mood, regardless of whether Lin Jia's guess was correct or not, but his bold guess far exceeded the previous discussion between him and Wan Changchun. Moreover, from this speculation, it can also explain most of the doubts about this "world", and even put forward the possibility of a reasonable explanation, as well as the mysterious origin of those extinct plants in ancient times, and those giant trees and grasses whose origin is completely unknown.
However, looking at Wan Changchun's extremely emotional appearance, Su Yichen opened his mouth to comfort: "Professor Lin also happened to think after a month of exploration, if it were you, maybe you would put forward this hypothesis like him." ”
Wan Changchun thought about it, his face softened a little, but he still smiled bitterly: "After some things are exposed, it feels easy to look back and look back, but sometimes thinking and rich imagination are the most important." Just like Sir Newton mentioned by Professor Lin in the article, everyone knows that apples will fall from trees when they are ripe, and everyone has seen this situation for thousands of years or even longer, but only Sir Newton thought of the theory of gravitation from the ripe and fallen apples, thus laying the foundation of modern physics? This is the gap between people, Xiao Su, you don't have to comfort me, compared with Professor Lin, I do have a lot of inferiority! ”
Listening to Wan Changchun's words, Su Yichen opened his mouth, but finally nodded silently. At this time, Hu Zhijun on the side was puzzled, he couldn't understand what the two were talking about, and couldn't help but ask again in a hurry.
Only then did Wan Changchun patiently explain to Hu Zhijun the story of the so-called Garden of Eden, including the legend of Adam and Eve eating the "forbidden fruit".
After listening to Wan Changchun's detailed explanation, Hu Zhijun somewhat understood what was going on, only to see him nod thoughtfully and grinned: "I understand, Lao Wan, what kind of garden are you talking about is like the queen mother's peach garden, right?" It's all a garden where the gods live, and the one who is the same as the monkey who stole the peach was the same, but they didn't have the ability of the monkey to be kicked out, right? ”
Wan Changchun suddenly smiled dumbly: "Old Hu, if you want to understand it like this, you can ...... it." ”
Hu Zhijun scratched his head and then asked, "In that case, how did Professor Lin die?" Was it because he had eaten something and poisoned him? ”
"Poisoned?"
Hu Zhijun's unintentional remark immediately reminded Su Yichen and Wan Changchun that in the Bible, the Lord God had warned Adam and Eve that the forbidden fruit was poisonous and should not be eaten or touched, otherwise they would die. However, according to the later descriptions of the Bible, Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, were not poisoned to death, but because they stole the forbidden fruit, they learned good and evil, so that they could distinguish between truth and falsehood, and they were ashamed, and finally expelled from the Garden of Eden.
This statement seems to be somewhat contradictory, and it is completely different from what the LORD God warned before, but is this forbidden fruit really poisonous? Did Lin Jia die in the passage because he ate this fruit?
Thinking of this, Wan Changchun frowned, and continued to look at the notebook in his hand, it seemed that all the answers had to be found from here.
