Chapter 474: The Shadow of Science in Mythology (Second Update)
"Grandpa, how do you know it's me calling? I haven't spoken yet! Wen Yinuo perked up and asked curiously.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "My phone has caller ID. ”
Wen Yinuo: "......"
it! Forget about this stubble......
She also found it funny.
Wen Yinuo put on the Bluetooth headset, put the mobile phone back in the small backpack, and casually carried the backpack in his hand, while politely greeting first: "Grandpa, are you okay?" Has it been hot in the mountains lately? ”
The old Taoist priest touched his head, looked at the green mountains and green waters outside the window, and said with a smile: "Okay, the mountains are cool now, just like living in a natural air conditioner, and it also has its own humidity regulation." ”
"So good, huh?" Wen Yinuo praised repeatedly, "Then I'll be relieved." What about my mother and Master? How are they doing? ”
"The two of them are more playful, and yesterday they said that they would go camping on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. As a result, now that the sun is out, the two of them haven't come down yet, eighty percent of them have slept, what sunrise ...... to see" The old Taoist priest snorted lightly, as if he didn't think so, but in fact, his tone was relaxed, and even the complaining was with a lazy leisure.
"Camping at the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise?! Ahh Wen Yinuo expressed her real-name envy, and on the other hand, she thought that she was fortunate that she didn't call her mother's mobile phone directly, otherwise she would destroy the warm two-person world between the two, even if her mother and master were not angry, she herself would not be happy.
The old Taoist priest was lying on the couch in front of the window, and the breeze blew in through the screen window, bringing a deep coolness, blowing the last heat of summer clean.
He asked Wen Yinuo again: "Yinuo, everything is going well abroad, right?" Are you used to eating? Where to live? It's good at home, it's hard to go out, don't worry about saving money...... Grandpa has money here, it's all yours! ”
Wen Yinuo listened to it warmly, especially the old Taoist priest's sentence "Grandpa has money here, it's all yours", which is simply a panacea for the queen mother, she feels full of energy as long as she listens to it thousands of miles away, like a new life.
She smiled with a pair of bright eyes bent into a crescent moon on the night of the first lunar month, and said sweetly: "It's good, I can still find the oriental food I am used to eating in Chinatown, I am not used to eating Western food, but it may be that I have not eaten particularly good Western food." My place is also very good, 5 star hotel. Mmmmmmmm ”
The two exchanged a few words, and the old Taoist priest praised her again: "Yinuo, I saw you participating in the competition, it really graced our Zhang Pai!" Much stronger than your master! ”
"Back then, I wanted your master to participate in the competition, but your master studied the rules of the competition and the composition of the personnel, and then quit...... Hum! This kid is just lazy! Otherwise, where can that Zhuge win two consecutive big leaders! ”
Wen Yinuo was very surprised, "Huh? Grandpa, do you know this competition?! I thought you didn't know......"
Otherwise, in the past 20 years, she would not have heard the old Taoist priest and Zhang Fengqi mention it.
"Of course I do." The old Taoist priest sneered, "But those people in the Ge faction have already treated me as a dead person, and they haven't contacted me at all." I was going to give them a dismount and let them know that your grandpa is still your grandpa! As a result, your master is not angry! ”
The old Taoist priest complained about Zhang Fengqi, and of course praised Wen Yinuo in the sky and on the earth: "It's still our Yinuo!" Talented! Genius! The special meal of the ancestor is not good, you can't eat it! - Stop them as soon as they go! Play well! Give us Zhang Pai a big leader, and off those deflated calves hahahaha! ”
Wen Yinuo was also a little proud, but she could still bear it and didn't brag about it with her.
By the time the old Taoist priest finished praising it, Wen Yinuo had already found a place to sit down in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
She was not in a hurry to eat now, and planned to talk to the old Taoist priest.
The place where she was sitting was in the café on the east side of the hotel lobby, and there were not many people at this time, only two or three people were sitting here, and everyone was far away from each other, and the principle of social distancing was thoroughly implemented.
Wen Yinuo even took out a black mask and put it on.
This allows you to cover your mouth and speak without revealing your lips.
Some people who can read lips don't know what she's talking about.
And the position where she sat had an open window, and outside the window was a small garden.
It was already dark, and the garden was full of flickering fireflies, the chirping of summer insects was very noisy, but not annoying, and the occasional frog chirping and partridge cooing, as if you were in the mountains.
WEN YINUO LEISURELY SET UP HIS LEGS, TOOK OUT HIS IPAD, AS IF PRETENDING TO BE READING A BOOK, AND QUIETLY ASKED, "GRANDPA, HAVE YOU WATCHED ME COMPETE?" ”
"Of course! Daomen APP live broadcast, your master counts the money until he is soft! His mouth is crooked these days! ”
“…… I understand when I count the money until my hands are soft, but why is my mouth crooked? ”
"Hahahaha! Happy crooked! Your master is just like you, he is a money junkie! The old Taoist priest smiled even more happily.
Wen Yinuo laughed and said, "Then the master must be very happy!" ”
"Of course, since marrying your mother, your master has fallen into a honeypot......" The old Taoist priest's words sounded a little sour, but the smug feeling of being happy for him was still obvious.
Wen Yinuo knew that his loved ones were not only living smoothly, but also living happily, and his mood was better.
She nodded and continued, "Then you saw me last swing the whip to save people last week, right?" ”
The old Taoist priest stood up excitedly and gestured with his hand: "Of course I saw it!" My promise baby is like a divine soldier descending from heaven! With the whip in hand, all the ghosts and spirits are nowhere to hide! ”
Wen Yinuo listened to the old Taoist priest blow it, and then said: "The more difficult places to deal with this case are not only the Feng Shui Bureau and Nightmare Town in the East, but also the black magic in the West. But the soft whip you gave me said was a Jiaojian whip, how could it emit holy light? Can you still restrain the black magic? ”
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Why can't the Jiaojin whip in the East emit holy light?" Why can't you restrain the black magic? Are you discriminating against us in the East? ”
"How could I?!" Wen Yinuo knew that the old Taoist priest was joking, but he still had to correct his name, the word discrimination had become taboo, and everyone was afraid of taking this name, "I'm just curious." You know that the other seven Taoist priests present also have magic weapons, but none of their magic weapons can emit holy light, let alone restrain black magic. ”
The old Taoist priest smiled even more, and snorted lightly: "Those people in the Ge faction are blind-eyed, and they don't learn any skills, and they feel that they have learned five cars in high school, how can they repair the Taoism?" - It's all a bunch of scum! Whether it is IQ or education, we will directly crush them! ”
Wen Yinuo laughed and laughed, but he still spoke fairly for those people in the Ge faction: "Grandpa, in fact, I think that cultivation is already a science, which is different from the system we use to go to school. To be honest, it doesn't matter to those who go to university or not. As long as you know words, know how to use a computer, and have basic common sense, you can do it. ”
The old Taoist priest nodded, "It's right for you to say that, but Yinuo, you must know that everything is to do your best and achieve the ultimate, and it is all interconnected." Learning is the same as cultivating, science and metaphysics have come to an end, maybe they will end up on the same path? Or maybe they are originally homologous, born by the same mother. ”
Wen Yinuo: "!! ”
God is "born by a mother"!
This is really Newton was going to scold his mother when he heard it, Einstein was going to cry when he heard it, and Master Sanqing directly waved a big broom to drive the old Taoist priest out of the school......
Wen Yinuo sneered, of course he didn't dare to say it.
She smiled and "uh-huh" perfunctory to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest thought that she agreed with his idea, and said happily, and danced with his hands: "Really, many myths can be explained by science, if science develops to a certain point. ”
"For example, in ancient mythology in the East and in the West, there are records of the Great Flood."
"But do you know why there was a great flood? In Eastern and Western mythology, even the cause of the Great Flood is almost identical! ”
Wen Yinuo: "......"
She was curious, "Isn't it?" I remember that the cause of the great flood in Oriental mythology seems to be that the Gonggong knocked down the pillars of Buzhou Mountain, so that the sky lacked a hole, and the water of the heavenly river poured back and flooded the earth. ”
"In Western mythology, the Great Flood was God's dissatisfaction with sinners, so he sent a great flood to cleanse mankind."
The old Taoist priest nodded, "On the surface, this is indeed the case, but have you delved into the details of this?" ”
Wen Yinuo almost knelt down for the old Taoist priest, thinking to himself why should I delve into this detail? I am not a religious person, let alone a graduate student in a seminary......
But she still patiently listened to the old Taoist priest's explanation.
The old Taoist priest continued: "Actually, the reason is very simple, if you carefully study the details of the Great Flood in Eastern and Western myths and legends, you will find that the origin of the two is the same, the process is the same, and even the result is the same. What does this mean? This shows that it is actually true, but it is covered with a layer of mystery by the ancestors left over from ancient times, covering up the truth. ”
"What is the truth?" Wen Yinuo is very conscientious to make a compliment.
The old Taoist priest said excitedly: "Let's put it this way, the great flood in Eastern mythology is the great flood of all kinds of monsters fighting with the gods, and finally the joint workers knocked down Buzhou Mountain, and there was a great flood." These monsters are interesting, they are said to be various species born from the union of gods and humans. Think about 'the dragon gives birth to nine sons, all kinds of differences', and then think about why only the dragon is non-existent in the zodiac, and the others are real animals, children, do you have a lot of question marks? ”
Wen Yinuo: "??? ”
I do have a lot of question marks, but grandpa, I found that you are rambling and diverting my attention!
Wen Yinuo came back to his senses and finally understood what the old Taoist priest was doing.
He's dodging the question she's asking about the whip!
WEN YINUO LOOKED AT THE TIME ON THE IPAD AND COULDN'T HELP BUT SAY, "GRANDPA, I HAVE A DINNER IN A WHILE, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE JIAOJIAN WHIP FIRST?" ”
"That's what I said! Listen to me! The old Taoist priest wiped his forehead with a smile, thinking that this little apprentice is really not easy to fool, and he can still pull the topic back after all this.
It's just that the old Taoist priest is also a very casual person, and seeing that Wen Yinuo is obsessed with the problem of Jiaojian whip, he no longer hides it.
continued: "To make a long story short, the great flood in the ancient legends of the East, in the final analysis, was that the gods and people gave birth to many species that were more powerful than humans, of course, these species could not compare to the gods themselves, but they were enough in the human world. They stirred up waves, ravaged the world, and made a miasma, not to mention that the living space of people was squeezed, and even the gods couldn't see it, so they warned humans in advance and let them hide, and at the same time used a great flood to kill these monsters. ”
"These monsters have also resisted, such as Gonggong, according to legend, it has a human face, a snake god, red hair, and from the perspective of our Daomen, it is actually a Jiao that has become a spirit."
"It is not afraid of water, so it led those monsters in the Great Flood to fight humans for a time. But with God's help, man is still superior. ”
In the end, Dayu, the leader of mankind, captured Gonggong, saying that he was exiled to Youzhou, but in fact he was put under house arrest. The tendon in your Jiaojian whip is the Jiaojiu that Dayu's personally extracted from Gonggong's body. ”
"To imprison a refined dragon, the most important thing is, of course, to remove its tendons, so that it has no divine power."
Wen Yinuo: "......"
Thinking of the soft whip in the backpack at hand, Wen Yinuo suddenly felt a little tricky.
Is there really a co-worker in this?!
Does this count as cruelty to the national rare and special protected animals?
Will it be illegal?
Wen Yinuo's mind was full of question marks.
The old Taoist priest was still gushing: "Look at the origin of the Great Flood in Western mythology, why? It's because there is also a group of half-human, half-beast monsters on the ground, causing the world to be in a miasma! God couldn't stand these monsters he had created, so he also warned humans in advance, and then sent a great flood to cleanse all the half-human, half-beast monsters! ”
"You see, in the myths of the Great Flood in the East and West, is it even the same origin?"
"It's all because a group of half-human, half-beast monsters with special functions have appeared to do evil, so that the creator can't control them, so they must be destroyed!"
"It's a theological perspective."
"But from a scientific point of view, there are more intelligent creatures or civilizations, using human genes and animal genes to hybridize, and a group of half-human and half-beast monsters can not be cleaned up by themselves, so they kill them all!"
Wen Yinuo: "......"
What a new world it opened!
She was a little fascinated by what she heard, "But why would these more intelligent creatures or civilizations use the flood to kill these monsters?" Is there no other means? They can even do such a powerful genetic engineering, not to mention that they don't have a more powerful means of killing people in the invisible. ”
"Our family is so smart." The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded, "Yes, of course they have more powerful means. But it is precisely because their means are more powerful, but they are not so powerful as to change the world, that they lead to the imbalance of the entire environment. Eventually, nature wielded, and a great flood wiped out all of these more intelligent creatures, especially their civilization, their culture. ”
"When natural disasters occur, the more civilized the culture, the more fragile and easy it is to be destroyed."
"On the contrary, species that are still in the period of ignorance, and live by instinct, such as human beings who have just been enlightened at that time, and various animals, can survive."
Wen Yinuo let out an "oh-ah" and concluded: "So the great floods in the East and the West are all means for 'gods' to destroy a more intelligent civilization, and those half-human, half-beast monsters are all made by them." And these half-human, half-beast monsters weren't completely wiped out by those more intelligent species and the Great Flood, right? ”
"Of course not. Or did they leave some fish that slipped through the net, otherwise why did there be various myths and legends later? The old Taoist priest scoffed, "For example, your Jiaojian whip, that is a real magic artifact." But the fact that you can emit holy light is still related to you. Only in your hands can it shine with holy light. ”
