Chapter 64: Dragon God Dragon Totem (Part I)
[Written before the chapter, there will be a situation where a lot of complex words will be "said" with gestures below, just take a look, please don't delve into it]
Su Yan: "Four"
Students: "Four"
Tiger Witch and his disciples walked from the south side of the snake tribe's residence to the north side, attracted by the sound of Su Yan and his students, and followed the sound to this side.
Su Yan: "Four"
Students: "Four"
Standing beside him, the Tiger Witch looked at the snake tribe's divine envoy who stretched out four fingers in his right hand and muttered "four" in his mouth, and the more than twenty minors sitting in front of him also chanted "four".
"Does 'four' mean four? This is the language of the snake tribe. The Tiger Witch had some understanding, but when he noticed that there were also children of the Tiger Tribe among those minors, the Tiger Witch was angry in his heart, this is the language of the Snake Tribe, how can the people of the Tiger Tribe learn the language of the Snake Tribe?
Although the Tiger Witch was angry in his heart, he didn't show it, after all, this is the territory of the Snake Tribe, and the Tiger Tribe still lives here, if he causes a conflict between the two tribes, the people will be in danger.
Su Yan noticed the arrival of the Tiger Witch, and he beckoned to Xiaohua, who stood up and walked to Su Yan's side.
Su Yan said to Xiaohua: "You teach them to count, I have something." ”
Xiaohua: "Okay. ”
Su Yan has been opening a small stove for Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters, if ranked by grades, among the same batch of students, Xiaohua's grades are the highest, and it is still very simple to let Xiaohua teach the students of the Tiger Tribe to count.
After Su Yan finished instructing Xiaohua, he turned around and walked towards the Tiger Witch, Xiaohua stood in Su Yan's position before, looked at the students of the Tiger Tribe with a little nervousness in his heart, opened his mouth and said crisply: "Four"
Students: "Four"
After walking a few steps, Su Yan came to the tiger witch, one "old" and one young, looking at each other.
Su Yan gestured back and forth with his hands and said, "Do you have something?" ”
Tiger Witch: "Why are you teaching our tribe's children your language?" ”
Feeling the anger in the Tiger Witch's "words", Su Yan said from afar: "This is not the language of our tribe, but the language of God. ”
Su Yan refers to the sky, and in the snake tribe and the tiger tribe, "heaven" means "god".
"Not the language of your tribe, but the language of the gods of your tribe?" Tiger Witch looked incredulous.
The Tiger Witch and the Snake Witch have the same confusion about the gods that their tribe believes, they always think that the previous witch can communicate with the gods, but when it comes to their current witches, they can't communicate with the gods, and the Tiger Witch has also thought about whether the previous witches can't communicate with the gods, everything is pretended.
Now that the Tiger Witch has met such an existence as Su Yan, the Tiger Witch's head is a little confused, can people really communicate with God?
Su Yan: "No, this is not the language of our tribal gods, but the language of the gods of your tribe and my tribe." ”
"Listening" to Su Yan's words, the Tiger Witch and the disciples beside him opened their mouths in surprise, they couldn't judge whether what Su Yan said was true or false, and the Tiger Witch couldn't communicate with the gods that his tribe believed in, how could they judge.
Su Yan continued: "Say something you can't believe, in fact, my tribe, all the tribes of your tribe believe in the same god, he has vast and varied powers, and has infinite identities, he may appear as flowers and trees, or as birds and beasts. ”
"This ...... This. The Tiger Witch's hands trembled, and Su Yan's "words" made the Tiger Witch's head dizzy, and he couldn't accept it for a while, how could this be possible, the gods believed in by his own tribe and the gods believed in by other tribes were the same gods?
Looking at the current situation of the Tiger Witch, Su Yan can also understand that this kind of thing is exaggerated enough, and no one can calm down when he hears this kind of thing.
Now that the Tiger Witch needs to rest and think quietly, Su Yan made a few gestures to the Tiger Witch's disciple and asked him to help the Tiger Witch back to the house to rest.
The disciples of the Tiger Witch obeyed Su Yan's order and helped the Tiger Witch to walk slowly towards the house where they lived.
Tiger Witch and his disciples left, Su Yan did not go back to continue teaching the students to count, Su Yan noticed that Xiaohua taught well, this simple task Xiaohua was able to complete successfully, and he walked towards the house where the snake witch lived.
The theory that "this world is a god that all tribes believe in is a god" took Su Yan more than half a year to conceive, and Tiger Witch was the first person to hear this theory.
In order to make the population of the snake tribe increase rapidly, it is the best choice to annex and integrate other tribes, and it is difficult for a small tribe with a small population such as a miniature tribe to survive in this world for too long, and they will either die out quickly or develop into a medium-sized tribe, and the main objects of the snake tribe in the future will be at least medium-sized tribes.
And each medium-sized tribe has its own self-worshipping gods, and the beliefs are different, and it will be very troublesome for the snake tribe to merge with other tribes, and it will cause all kinds of accidents if you are not careful.
Therefore, in order to allow the snake tribe to smoothly integrate with other tribes, Su Yan deliberately created a theory, that is, "this world is a god that all tribes believe in is a god".
In Su Yan's thoughts, there is only one god in this world, he is omnipotent, he has vast powers, thousands of changes, and endless power, even this world is created by God, anyway, how to exaggerate it, the ultimate goal is to make people from other tribes believe that the god that their tribe believes in is only one of his incarnations, and the god that all tribes believe in is the only god in this world.
For this reason, Su Yan also designed a final image for the god - a dragon.
The dragon is a mythical animal in ancient Chinese myths and legends, it is the long scale insect, often used to symbolize auspiciousness, the legend of the dragon can show and hide, can be small and huge, can be short and long, the spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, and calls for wind and rain.
"Historical Records: The Records of the Five Emperors" records:
After the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan in the Battle of Hanquan, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and united many tribes to fight against Chiyou together, it is said that after three years of fighting, 72 battles, and finally killed Chiyou and unified the tribes, which is a great feat.
An even greater initiative after this was that although the Yellow Emperor achieved absolute authority, he did not impose the totems of his own tribe on others, but summoned everyone to Busan to join the alliance, and let the tribes intercept the typical characteristics of their own tribal totems and draw them together as a unified totem and a common deed for the new alliance, marking that there will be no more wars in the future.
On this new totem, all those who fly in the air, run on the ground, and swim in the water are all embodied, very strange, it is a collection of fierce birds and beasts fishing, and no one can call its name.
At that time, the ancestors used bamboo to weave a cage, used to hold things, birds and animals and other prey, since this new totem includes the characteristics of the totems of various tribes, you might as well call it "cage", and then gradually evolved into the current dragon.
