Chapter 208: Story (1)
The allure of iron is so great that even if you can't make a weapon made of steel, you can melt it and make it into an iron pot for stir-frying.
But now it has been less than half a month since the impact, and after repeated thinking, Wang Lang still gave up the idea of going to take a look, after all, if you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend money.
The training of the army continues every day, and now the phalanx has gone in shape, and as long as it goes through the tempering of a war, it can become a team that can fight.
The meteorite place couldn't go for the time being, and Wang Lang surrendered his gaze to the familiar and unfamiliar forest.
This forest, for such a long time, has only explored a small part, what is hidden in it, Wang Lang is very curious.
Wang Lang decided to explore this wild world where terror and opportunity coexist.
After making up his mind, Wang Lang called Lin Huo and Kong Yi over.
"Tomorrow you two will pick out twenty men from each of your soldiers, and assemble outside the door in the morning." Wang Lang said.
"Chief, is something going on?" Kong Yi asked in surprise.
Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go deep into that forest, I've been here for so long, and I'm not familiar with our old neighbors at all." ”
Hearing this, Kong Yiyan's face showed hesitation, and he said to Wang Lang: "Chief, there is nothing to explore in a forest, and it is extremely dangerous in it, and those two big snakes escaped from there. ”
"Why, you're scared!" Wang Lang stared at Kong Yi with a dead gaze.
Stared at by Wang Lang, Kong Yi said with a little weakness: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's not necessary to do this, now there is nothing lacking in the tribe, why take this risk!" ”
Wang Lang glanced at Kong Yi with a smile, then looked at Lin Huo and asked, "Huo, what is your opinion?" ”
Lin Huo didn't answer Wang Lang's words, but asked rhetorically, "Lang, why do you have to explore this forest?" ”
"You think the tribe is very good now, but I don't think it's enough, in my eyes, everything is not worth mentioning now, I want the tribe to live a better life, why I call the tribe in the west barbarians, it is because we are better than theirs, although we are not savages who eat human flesh and blood, and we don't need living people to sacrifice to the gods, but today's tribe still belongs to the category of barbarians in my eyes, I want to change this." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.
When Lin Huo and the others heard this, they frowned, they both knew that barbarians were very ugly words, and they both felt a little uncomfortable when they heard their leader evaluate their tribe like this.
"Chief, how can our tribe be the same as the Fire Tribe, they can't do anything except grow some potatoes, just a little stronger than those wild people who have nothing in the east, our tribe is so powerful, what do you want, how can you be a barbarian!" Kong Yi retorted.
Wang Lang smiled and said, "Don't get excited, listen to me slowly." ”
Seeing the frowning appearance of the two, Wang Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You also know that the word barbarian is a derogatory word for other tribes, but do you really understand the meaning of this word?" ”
The two looked at Wang Lang blankly, not knowing what else an insulting word meant, which immediately aroused their interest and wanted to hear how Wang Lang explained the word.
"Before talking about barbarians, let's talk about what civilization is, civilization is a tribe that must have inheritance, such as belief in gods, and the inheritance of knowledge, we are no longer like those beasts on the grassland, we have our own tribe, we have our own beliefs, and even have our own writing, these are all part of civilization, you may think, the tribes in the west, in addition to writing, also have these, do they also have civilization?"
The two nodded as if they didn't understand, indicating that they really thought so in their hearts.
Wang Lang smiled and continued: "Tightly have these, but it has become a human being out of animals, and it is not yet a civilization, our tribe now has the concept of family, knows the respect and inferiority of the elders and young, and knows what to do and what not to do, this is etiquette, with etiquette, we have taken a small step towards civilization, but you look at our body, it is still surrounded by straw, it can be said that it is naked**, what is the difference between this and animals." ”
Speaking of this, Kong Yi asked puzzledly: "Chief, we can't have straw all over our bodies!" How hot it is! ”
When Wang Lang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Who said that it was all around the straw, you know, I was guided by the gods before, and the gods asked me to distinguish between what is civilization and what is barbarism, when the gods conjured up two scenes for me to see, I saw one of the tribes, in order to sacrifice to the gods they believed in, killed people, and used their skulls filled with blood for sacrifice, and their bodies were eaten by those people, those slaves who were waiting for death, their faces were full of fear, when the gods asked me what I thought, I shook my head, I ask you now what you would think if you saw such a situation. ”
Lin Huo and the two frowned and thought about Wang Lang's words, and after pondering for a long time, Lin Huo said: "I don't know why, I don't think it's right to do this, slaves are only useful if they live, and what do gods want blood for." ”
Kong Yi also said: "That's right, if the gods want delicious food, we can sacrifice the best food of the tribe to the gods, there is no need to waste such a good Lao Li!" ”
"You think so now, if it was before, I guess you would think the same way as me, cannibalism is not a big problem when you are about to starve to death, let alone execute a slave." Wang Lang said slowly.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, thinking back to their previous selves, and they really had this kind of thought, and then nodded.
Lin Huo asked puzzledly, "Lang, then what's going on." ”
"Don't worry, listen to me, the next thing." Wang Lang said with a smile.
The two nodded and listened carefully to what Wang Lang said.
"The gods erased the previous scene and replaced it with a new one for me, the people of that tribe did not kill slaves and sacrifice, but wore bright and beautiful clothes, their faces were full of happiness and gathered together, jumping and jumping, there were some mysterious songs in their mouths, carrying a basket of food and flowers, placing it on a high altar, praying to the gods for the happiness of the tribe, they had no slaves, their leader claimed to be the son of God, God is the god in their eyes, and the god asked me what I thought, I can't say it, but if I had to choose, I would choose the second tribe. Wang Lang said slowly.
The two listened carefully to Wang Lang's story, and their hearts were shocked, is there really such a tribe in this world.
"Lang, do you mean that the first tribe is the barbarians, and the second tribe is civilization?" Lin Huo asked.
