Chapter 114: The Secret of the Tower of Babel

This night, the whole city of Liucheng has no sleep!

Echoing these rumors, the screeching whistles emitted by police cars did sound all night, starting from the Liucheng Hall on the shore of Songhua Lake, then to the bustling Dongcheng Commercial Street, and the Xicheng Economic Development Zone, almost all over the city.

Although the situation was tightly controlled, a well-informed source revealed that this incident was indeed related to the Liucheng Guild Hall, and the Black Dragon Gang, which had been doing evil for decades, was uprooted.

Soon after, some related pictures and texts also appeared on the Internet, including armed police officers stationed in Liucheng Hall with loaded guns, and unconscious wounded people who were continuously moved to the 120 ambulance. Among the wounded lifted from the Liucheng Hall were many entrepreneurs, political dignitaries and entertainment stars who had recently made a splash in the media, many of them disheveled, and some even wrapped in only a bath towel, which is amazing. As a result, the streets and alleys of Liucheng soon had a lot of after-dinner conversations, and the fame of a certain celebrity naturally increased a lot.

The truth will always be known to a small number of people, but it doesn't matter anymore. The people of Liucheng only know that the Black Dragon Gang, which bullied men and women and did many evils, has really collapsed, and no one will come to forcibly collect protection money in the future, and they will no longer have to take the initiative to beg for mercy after being beaten, and there will never be an industry under their own name that will inexplicably become someone else's property.

Some people didn't even have time to figure out what was going on, and before a new day came, they couldn't wait to light large firecrackers, hang red lanterns, and dance the unrestrained dragon and lion dance. This is like a powerful catalyst, and quickly triggered the chemical reaction of the whole city, for a time, the whole city, "the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, the brothers and sisters dance, and the song sings through the full moon", not the Lantern Festival is better than the Lantern Festival.

Not to mention how the people of Liucheng sang and danced, how anxious the leaders of the municipal party committee were, how the hospital doctors worked hard to wake up thousands of unconscious people, how the newspaper reporters thought about whether to publish this news, how excited or anxious the ZF organs were to find out thousands of guns, or how worried they were about the unknown origin of the Xiuxian sect, as the parties concerned, they had already returned to the small town at the foot of Changbai Mountain-Songjiang River.

Xinxin company's work efficiency is really good, that afternoon they will be the generator set and supporting equipment all sent over, accompanied by the mechanical and electrical company's technical personnel.

Of course, Zhu Yan and the others politely refused the door-to-door service service service of technicians, so they received short-term technical training in Songjianghe, including how to install, how to use, how to repair, and so on. Zhu Yan's strange learning ability naturally hit the technician's heart, and it wasn't until he heard that Zhu Yan and they were about to return to their distant and remote hometown that his anxious heart was comforted, and he no longer had to worry about his job being robbed by others.

This time down the mountain, in addition to the generator set, Zhu Yan and the others also bought a lot of daily necessities, means of production and seeds of various crops, and there were thousands of catties of things listed, and it seemed that they had to trouble the crow to fly a few more times.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhu Yan and the others stayed in the hotel to cultivate after dinner. Although the aura of heaven and earth here is not as strong as that on the mountain, after all, it is at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the effect of cultivation is barely okay.

Zhu Yan soon entered a meditative state, and during this period of diligent cultivation, his spiritual space has expanded a lot more than before, and has expanded to hundreds of hectares, looking like a vast grassland. The branches of the Mind Tree grew thicker, and its foliage covered the sky and the clouds, like a huge green pole standing in the middle of the grassland.

He just paid attention to it, and the Mind Tree immediately drew closer to his eyes, thousands of white and crystalline filaments of vitality stretched out from the dense leaves, and burrowed into the mysterious void, like a Christmas tree that kept flashing light.

Only then did Zhu Yan discover that the number of filaments of vitality on the Soul Tree had suddenly increased several times compared to before, what was going on?

He used his mind to move a little closer to the new filament, and immediately felt a strong sense of gratitude, and the meaning contained in it seemed to be related to the Yanagi Guild Hall. He tried to get close to the other filaments of new vitality, and he also felt similar emotional experiences, which made him particularly happy, as if he had drunk the agar jade dew of the legendary fairy banquet of the Queen Mother of the West.

He tasted the pleasure given by the filaments of vitality one by one, and enjoyed it until all the filaments of vitality were felt one by one.

Zhu Yan didn't expect that this attempt he inadvertently gave an unexpected surprise, and it was such a huge surprise. This is not only a sensory pleasure, but also a kind of transformation from the inside out, soon he noticed the enhancement of his cell activity, and also has a more acute insight into the environment inside and outside the body, those new vitality filaments, he now does not need to get close one by one, he can clearly perceive the emotional experience in it.

Even, even if it was an unfamiliar filament of vitality floating by his side, he could clearly perceive it, and could vaguely feel the emotional experience contained in it.

Could this be "his psychiatric powers" -- some kind of legendary supernatural powers?

As soon as he thought of this, even the calm Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, because this may involve a mysterious legend in ancient times, which may hide the secret of the "Tower of Babel".

The Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babi, is the name of a tower mentioned in the Bible. According to the Bible, the Tower of Babel was built by Noah's descendants to "proclaim our name, lest we all be scattered upon the earth." But God stopped humanity, and he confused the human language, so that the Tower of Babel was not built in the end.

This is recorded in the eleventh chapter of Genesis:

"At that time, the accent and speech of all the people in the world were the same."

"And when they were moving eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there."

"They consulted one another and said, 'Come! We will make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they took bricks for stone, and stone paint for mortar. ā€

"They said, 'Come! And we will build a city and a tower, with the top of the tower reaching up to heaven, that we may proclaim our name, so that we may not be scattered upon all the earth. ā€™ā€

"The Lord has come to see the cities and towers that the world has built. And the Lord said: 'Look! They have become one people, all the same language, and now that they have done this, there is nothing that they will not do in the future. Let us go down and there they will confound their accents, so that their speech will not understand one another. ā€™ā€

"So the LORD scattered them from thence over all the earth; And they stopped building the city. ā€

"Because there the Lord has confounded the language of the people of the world, and has scattered them throughout the earth, the name of the city is Babel." ā€

This account is puzzling. First of all, did human beings spend time and effort to build such a huge tower just to "spread our name"? Second, why did God intervene to obstruct it? Why didn't he want humans to do what they were meant to do? Again, how did God confuse the words of thousands of people under heaven? In the end, why can't the Tower of Babel be built if the words are confused?

Some researchers have pointed out that the construction of the "Tower of Babel" is not only for human beings to "proclaim their own name", but also because of the questioning of God, and more importantly, to prevent God from exterminating mankind with floods again. And the reason why God prevented mankind from building Babita was because God would not allow mankind to doubt His promises.

According to the Bible, the first rainbow appeared in the sky after the Flood. God came and said, "I have put the rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of my covenant with the earth, and when I will cover the earth, a rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember my covenant with you and with every living creature of flesh; and the waters shall no longer overflow, and shall no longer destroy every living creature of flesh."

God used the rainbow to make a pact with the people of the earth not to destroy the earth with a great flood. Since then, everyone in the world speaks the same language and has the same accent. Noah's descendants were growing more and more over the land, so they migrated eastward. In the land of Shinah (near ancient Babylon), they came across a plain and settled down.

One day, a question was raised: How do we know that there will no more floods from Noah's time that will drown us like our ancestors did?

"There's a rainbow to prove it," someone replied.

"When we see a rainbow, we are reminded of God's promise that He will never destroy the world with a flood again."

"But there is no reason to pin our future and the future of our children and grandchildren on the rainbow!" Another argued.

"We should do something about it so that the flood doesn't happen again."

So they consulted with one another, and said, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." "They took brick for stone, and stone paint for mortar.

Then they said, "Come, let us build a city and a tower with the top of the tower reaching up to heaven, that we may proclaim our name, so that we may not be scattered over all the earth." ā€

Because of the common language and concerted efforts, the city of Babylon was built in a prosperous and beautiful city, with towers reaching into the sky, as if reaching to the sky.

I didn't expect this move to alarm God! God finds His oath to be questioned, and God does not allow humans to doubt their oath, just as we don't like others to doubt ourselves. God decided to punish those who forgot their covenants, just as he punished Adam and Eve, who had eaten the forbidden fruit.

He saw that people were working together to unify and be strong, and he thought to himself: If mankind really built the magnificent Tower of Babel, then what could not be done in the future? Somehow must be found to stop them. So he quietly left Heaven and came to earth, and changed and distinguished the language of men, so that they were scattered everywhere because of the language barrier, and the tower fell to the end of the way.

The common language is known as Adamic, and historically scholars have suggested that a language was proto, such as Hebrew, Basque, etc. (see Jewish literature).

But the question remains, why can't God use the flood to exterminate humanity with Babita? Why should God be so eager to destroy the Babita that humans have built, and even a little panicked? Is language really that important for building such a tower? Could there be something else going on?

The core of these questions is actually still the Tower of Babel itself, what kind of secrets does it hide?
