77, depressed
"Ahem, since that's the case, then I'll talk about it." Kong Zhen coughed lightly twice and took a sip of tea, "The story I want to tell happened in Europe...... The east is across the sea is the land of China, and the land of China is separated by the distant mountains and rivers and wastelands is Europe, and there is a church in Europe that believes in the all-knowing and all-powerful gods who respect the name of the Lord. ā
"Like a fox?" Sakura asked curiously.
"No, in the Bible of the church, the Lord is omnipotent, unlike the fox god who blesses the harvest in the heavy village, they say that all human beings have mortal things are created by the Lord, the Lord looks at all mankind, and those who do good go to heaven, which is a world without pain and eternal happiness, and those who do evil go to hell, which is a world of eternal suffering, and all human beings should believe in the great Lord, and the church calls itself a servant of the Lord, spreading the gospel of the Lord and impregnating the people."
Koshige Sakura listened intently, and Shigeyama listened with a little curiosity, and the movements in Europe in this era did not reach Japan.
"The vast majority of ordinary people have such a simple idea: if you do a lot of good deeds, you can go to heaven after death, and don't do evil to avoid going to hell, and then the church, which claims to be a servant of the Lord, passed down the rules and regulations, such as praying and praying for blessings every day, the more you do, the more you will wait to go to heaven, donating money to the church, and the more you donate, the more you will wait to go to heaven, and later the church also announced: Every unilateral born sinful, you need to use money to purchase the book of indulgence published by the church, and you can only go to heaven after death, otherwise you can only go to hell."
"A large amount of wealth supports the church's missionary behavior, they eat well, sleep well, dress well, and the common people are divided into porridge, living a poor life, occasionally natural disasters, after the death of a few people, the church will boldly stand up, give rice porridge, so that the faith of the Lord is more and more deeply rooted in the people's morale, most of the people have a pious faith, living in the world of demons, because this is the original sin that human beings have to bear."
The story stopped here, because it was already noon, Shigeyama went to plan an easy meal, and Xiao Shigezakura was the most curious to glue Kong Zhen: "Is there really a master in the world?" ā
"Absolutely." Kong Zhen said strongly.
"And where is the Lord?"
"You'll be able to see it when you're dead."
Xiao Chong Sakura scratched her hair, and her little face was a little tangled: "Why do I think the Lord is not a good person?" ā
"Oh? Why do you think so? Kong Zhen asked rhetorically as he drank the tea that had been cold.
"For many people are miserable because of the Lord." Xiao Shigeying said, "If you don't have enough food and clothing, you won't be able to warm up and you will die during natural disasters." ā
Kong Zhen was surprised: "Is there one?" Aren't the people of the church well fed and drunk? ā
"But, but more people aren't having a bad time." Xiao Shigezakura scratched her hair and said, "Didn't those people give a lot of things to offer to the master?" Why is it more painful than when there is no Lord? The fox god will not be like this, offering a few things, you can bless the wind and rain every year. ā
"Sakura-chan." Kong Zhen patted Xiao Chongying on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Are they having a hard time?" No, how can you say that they are suffering with the expectation of a better future, their fascination with the heavenly life, their patience with the desolation of the mortal world, and the payment for their sins, which they are not far-fetched and feel fulfilling? ā
"Yes, yes?" Xiao Chong Sakura's small eyebrows were twisted up, and she said tangledly, "But it's not good to eat, and it's not warm to wear, will it really be happy?" ā
Kong Zhen nodded vigorously and affirmed: "Of course it will be happy, stupid people have stupid blessings, if they don't even have stupid blessings, then won't they become stupid/forced?" ā
"Huh? Foolish? Sakura fell into the tangle again, scratching her hair, "Since it's happy...... Negligence, negligence, living a miserable life, why is it happy? And the kingdom of heaven or something, is there really one? ā
"When you die, you will know if there is one."
Xiao Shigezakura was full of question marks: "When you die, you know if there is one...... But when you die, it is very happy to go to heaven, but when you are alive, it is very painful, so why not choose to be happy when you are alive and be miserable when you die? ā
"Because the church says that they have sins when they are alive, and they must be miserable in this world, and they are also for the atonement of their sins, so they will not be happy, so they can only hope to be fulfilled after death, and the people of the church are different, they are servants of the Lord, they are without sin, so they are happy when they are alive, and they are happy after death."
"Hmm...... I think it's so unfair. "The brain circuit of the little heavy cherry is already a little messed up, "IāI'm going to ask Rin......"
"Hehe, don't talk about it, little brother, let's try the old man's craft." Osamu Shigeyama came out of the kitchen with his meal and interrupted the two of them with a smile.
After Donkong really thought that his tongue was going to cramp, Shigeyama Osamu used a wooden box to contain a few green herbs for the meal, and then handed the wooden box to Xiao Shigesakura: "Sakura-chan, this is today's imperial grass, there is Rin's lunch, bring it to Rin." ā
"Grandpa Sanji, then I'll come back later!"
Xiao Chongying lifted the big box with both hands, and walked out of the courtyard while tangling with Kong Zhen's story, and the small figure quickly disappeared into the village.
"Old man, have you been taking care of these sisters all these years?" Kong Zhen watched Xiao Shigezakura walk away, and asked Shigeyama Osaku who was blocking the table next to him with some confusion.
"Yes, Sakura and Rin are also thin children." Shigeyamaji sighed slightly, "Sakura lost her mother when she was only two years old, and Rin was born without a mother, and she fell ill due to premature birth, and the god ...... It's Sakura and Rin's father.,It's a bone for this.,Although he still takes care of his two daughters.,But it's not very close to them.,A good father and daughter make it like an enemy.ć ā
"The old man will do some medical skills, although he can't cure Xiao Rin's illness, but it's okay to get some medicine to nourish the body, as time goes by, Sakura and Xiao Rin often run to the old man, and the old man often tells them about the things inside, take care of them, don't look at the god is very indifferent to them, but he has also found the old man, let the old man help take care of them."
Shigeyamaji blocked the table, and couldn't help but sigh again: "But Xiao Rin's illness became nervous before, and she hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't know how long she can last, little brother, although the old man doesn't know who you are, but in the outside world, your identity is definitely not ordinary, and the old man can only put hope on you." ā
"My husband has a life-saving grace for me, and I will definitely recuperate." Kong Zhen said seriously.
"That's good, that's good...... But little brother, the old man may want to remind you. Chongshan Zhi turned around, and the old man's face was serious, "Chongcun has believed in the fox god for the rest of his life, and the story of the church you told before is nothing, but in Chongcun, even if you don't believe in the fox god and are not a person who believes in the fox god, you will not slander the fox god at will, otherwise the old man will not be able to protect you." ā
Kong Zhen touched his nose and smiled casually: "I don't have fun interfering with other people's liberation wills, and I don't have fun arguing with them What makes them lead to atheists, but old man, do you believe in the fox god?" ā
"That's enough, it doesn't involve the matter of the fox god, Shigemura has always been hospitable, as for the old man...... "Although I don't know what an atheist is, Shigeyamaji didn't pay attention, he looked at the fox statue in the hall, with a smile on his old face, "Drink water and think about the source, don't believe in the fox god is not a person from Chongcun." ā
"Yes." Kong Zhen nodded ambiguously.
Old man Osamu Shigeyama blocked the things, and then disposed of the bearskin, well, the skin of the brown bear in the yard.
Kong Zhen thought about it, said hello to Chongshanji, and planned to walk around the village, but the old man who was not at ease instructed Kong Zhen again, everything else is easy to say, that is, don't slander the fox god.
"Don't worry, I'm not a man to die." Kong Zhen waved his hand and said something that Chongshan Zhi couldn't hear clearly, turned around and left the courtyard and wandered around Chong Village.
On the other side, carrying a big box out of the heavy village, Xiao Shigezakura quickly returned to the heavy shrine, and shouted loudly: "Rin! I'm back! ā
There was a weak response from inside the shrine, and Sakura rushed into the room with impatient steps: "Rin! I met a very funny stranger today, and Grandpa Sanji said that he could also have a way to cure your illness! ā
In the room, Lori, who was wearing a cherry blossom kimono, with a pale and weak expression, and her long pink hair smashed into two loose double ponytails, sat on the tatami mat, tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiao Chong Sakura, who rushed in, and showed a slight smile: "Sister, you want to be a witch in the future, how can you do it in such a hurry." ā
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Xiao Shigezakura immediately stopped her flamboyant steps, and seemed to walk slowly and quickly in front of Rin, and then shouted excitedly, "Rin, there is a way for your illness!" ā
"......" Shigerin didn't look very happy, but he still had a weak and supple smile on his face, "Sister, instead of talking about this, let's tell me what story Grandpa Sanji told today." ā
Xiao Shigezakura was suddenly distracted, she sat next to the tatami mat, opened the wooden box, and skillfully took out the dishes and chopsticks to feed Shigerin's rice, and said while feeding: "Grandpa Sanji didn't tell a story today, but a story told by a foreigner......"
Chewing on the warm meal, Chongrin looked at the sweat on his sister's forehead, feeling a little helpless, and asked with a hint of curiosity on his face, "What's wrong?" ā
"Hmm...... It's very useful, but after listening to it, I think it's weird. While feeding her sister, Sakura overlapped Kong Zhen's story about the church, "Rin, do you think the Lord is a thug?" ā
Chongrin chewed on the food in small bites, with a weak smile on her immature face: "Sister, what is the Lord?" ā
"All-knowing and all-powerful, everything is a god he created." Xiao Shigezakura carefully wiped the corners of Chongrin's mouth.
"And what is the church?"
"Those who call themselves servants of the gods seem to be working hard to spread the gospel of the Lord."
"So who do the common people donate their money to?"
"Give to the Church...... Alas? "So the church is a thug?" ā
āā¦ā¦ Sister, there are so many good people and so many thugs in the world. Chongrin smiled softly and coughed slightly, "But, so many people, there must be people who don't like to donate money, people who donate money and get what they want, even if they are in pain, outsiders can't say anything, people who don't want to donate money but are forced, that's worthy of pity, so sister, in your opinion, the church is a thug." ā
"As for the Lord in the story, it can also exist or not, and after death, a life begins, and people only need to work their current life."
Xiao Chongying's face was full of blank question marks, but Chongrin was not to blame: "Sister, this is just a story, I can't think of the result, why bother with it." ā
"Well, okay, okay, I'll go boil medicine for you, and when the stranger recovers, come to see your environment, and your illness can be cured!" Xiao Shigezakura put this matter behind her, and took those few imperial herbs to boil medicine, which was not a herb for curing any disease, but just an ordinary herb for maintaining her body.
Watching her sister run away in a hurry, she looked on her back, looking at the sunlight outside the window, her expression was slightly confused, and she hadn't gone out to see it for a long time...... But her body was really too weak.
"Yo, hello Auntie."
"Huh? Are you the stranger who was chased by a bear? How about coming out before your body is well, why don't you go back and rest more? ā
"It's okay, it's okay."
"By the way, I've got some dried pumpkin seeds here, take some and try them."
"Thank you, thank you."
Kong Zhen said a few words to an aunt who was stabbed to death by her own knife in a dream, and then took the pumpkin seeds and continued to walk around the village, the village is not big, relatively simple, the villagers are good, often greet each other cordially when walking on the road, and send some small things at home while you can do it.
It didn't take too long, Kong Zhen walked around panting, with a small pile of snacks on his body, and a fist-sized fox wood carving, although the village was not big, he was too weak now.
While smiling kindly, he chatted with many familiar villagers who had been hacked to death by his own knife, and from time to time he deliberately followed each other's thoughts, and talked about how beautiful the outside world is and how ingenious the world is.
Communicator? No, no, no, it's just to collect all kinds of information, and now the time point of this dream can be confirmed, it's Chong Sakura's time after picking the fox fairy grass, what will Chong Sakura's heart knot be in this dream, and how to crack it, it will take Kong Zhen to use his brain.
He wanted to do it, but after thinking about his own skills, and then thinking about the current model, it was a downward move.
But the brain is simply hands, that is a reckless man.
After chatting a few words with a middle-aged man who had been beheaded by himself in a dream, Kong Zhen walked out of the village while eating a small snack, and walked along the trail to Shiomi River.
"Hmm...... The inside of the villager's house is a real environment, which is completely different from the time of the second dream...... Bah! Kong Zhen casually spit out the pumpkin seed shells, thinking as he walked, "In this way, it is not that Chongying Ji has to know the space in those houses, but that the villagers are excluded, so there is no map in those houses at all, and all that is left is the scenery of Chongcun......"
As for why the villagers are so hospitable, enthusiastic and simple...... Ha, does this have anything to do with yourself? He only cares about Chong Sakura.
"It's a little too hot, isn't it?"
Kong Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, squinted at the blazing sun in the sky, and then looked ahead.
The clear river flows slowly, and on the bank of the river is a situation where acres of land are cultivated, and all kinds of crops are developed in the realm, but under the hot sun, the green crops seem to be a little depressed.
Kong Zhen walked over, looked carefully and didn't see anything, he is not an agricultural expert, he can't see if the crops are growing well or not, but it's really too hot......
Wait a minute! I entered it by myself, shouldn't it be the heart knot of the most important part of the heavy cherry blossoms?!
Kong Zhen's expression changed, and the more nervous the heart knot was, the easier it was for Scarlet Pill to experience the heart knot corroding Chong Sakura's will, and it also meant that it was more difficult to break through the dream, but he entered this dream without dying, or he fell into a dream with immersion......
It looks like I've been trapped.
Stuffed a pumpkin seed in his mouth and chewed, Kong Ge walked quickly to the wooden bridge of the Shiomi River, where he was there when he entered the last dream, and walked quickly to the bridge, Kong Zhen looked down along the riverbank and the gap between the bridge.
The water of the Shiomi River is still flowing, but through the moist soil on the banks of the river, you can glimpse some of the wettest soil in the air, and the overall environment of the river is somewhat strangely detached from the environment of the adjacent river.
Kong Zhen closed his eyes and looked back at the normal river water that he had glimpsed in Chongying's dream...... He didn't pay much attention to this part of the environment, but he looked back and found that little bit in the image.
In the general cognition, people's image power, intelligence and brain development level are related, and the vigor of brain cells is related to the expression of energy and teeth, but in the popular science of reincarnation, this is only a manifestation of the interaction between the body and the soul.
Although people often use brain words instead of IQ, and in reality, not every living thing has such a layout, but it can still think, and it can be called a smart race.
After a while, Kong Zhen frowned and spread his eyes, and muttered slightly: "The Shiomi River has sunk...... It seems that this dream is indeed related to Chong Sakura's heart knot. āć
I didn't expect that the Scarlet Prison Pill was a set for himself.,Reincarnation to pull out the dream space is generally the first choice for the kind of dream space with low corrosion of the Scarlet Prison Pill.,This is normal.,The efficacy of the victory of a dream is the same as the victory of other dreams.,Of course, it's easy priority.ć
Then, Kong Zhen entered here.
