No matter how difficult the situation is, the brave and romantic Fiji people have never forgotten to dress up, let alone hold a banquet full of singing, laughter and dancing every once in a while. Even in such a hectic and busy day, I will find an opportunity to relax myself. But this time, the reason why Shi Jia decided to hold a night party in Honia was mainly to satisfy the curiosity of the young people. Although the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent have lived on the same continent as the Streamers for more than a thousand years, instead of learning the strengths of the Streamers, they despise them and treat them as uncivilized barbarians. However, the Fiji people are different, Shi Jiadi intends to invite all the streamers to the banquet, the purpose is to create an opportunity for these young people to fully contact the streamers, so as to broaden their minds and lay a better foundation for the future of the Fiji people.

Perhaps to commemorate the thousand-year-old floating city on the West Sea, when they built the new city of Fiji in Honia, they still retained the meeting place in the center of the city according to the pattern of the floating city, and the rest of the houses were orderly surrounded by public activity areas. The whole city is like ripples in the water, spreading outward layer by layer, full of romantic artistic conception, which is very in line with the temperament of Fiji people.

It was a double moonlit night, and the first moon had just risen, and before night had fallen, the young people were eager to light bonfires and merrily shuttle through the banquet hall. They grilled fish and meat, and the ground was filled with all kinds of snacks, fruits and vegetables, and of course, the traditional drink of the Fiji people, Lihua Brew. There are no tables and chairs outdoors, and they still retain the habit of sitting on the ground for the time being, not to mention inviting streamers. Everyone sits on the floor together so that there is no difference between the host and the guest, so that everyone can enjoy the party without restraint. Of course, this is all wishful thinking on the part of the Fiji people, and the streamers probably don't care about these things.

The musical instruments of the Fiji people are quite chic, almost all of them are made of shells and fish bones. Moreover, every Fiji person has at least one small musical instrument that he or she can carry with him. But this small instrument is often more than just an accompaniment, it is likely to be a handy gadget. In terms of creation, the people of Fiji can always give full play to their ingenuity.

Today's weather seems to take special care of them, although there was a light rain last night, but from this morning to now, the sky is extremely clear, the sea breeze is gentle, and the moon and stars are clearly visible.

Assi handed a large glass of Lihua Brew to Moye beside him, which is a traditional drink made by the Fiji people with Lihua, fruit and rain dew, and the taste is sweet and refreshing, not as mellow and fragrant as the Sawa Iva people's Vaso Brew. Mano took a sip of it, and then saw Assi hand over a plate full of grilled fish and grilled meat. At this time, Mono hesitated, he didn't take it, waved his hand at Axi, and raised the cup in his other hand, indicating that it was enough to have a flower brew.

Assi was surprised: "Why don't you eat it? I remember, when you went to our ship before, didn't you eat it all?"

Mono smiled slightly awkwardly: "I did ...... before"

"Haha......" Assi couldn't help laughing, glanced at the streamers who were not far from them, and joked, "You can't learn that they don't eat because you've been with them for a long time, right?"

"It's not all like that. In fact, the biology of the Rysersi people will make certain adjustments with the change of the living environment. Seeing that Assi was a little puzzled, Mono pointed to his abdomen again and explained, "The blood of the Resersi is very powerful, and it can modify the internal structure of the body as the needs of survival change, so as to quickly adapt to the new way of survival and environment. So, ever since I knew I didn't need these things to survive, the organs in my body changed. Gradually, the allure of fish for me disappeared imperceptibly, and when I remembered it again, I realized that I no longer had that desire. ”

"I see!haha, but what's it like to live without food?" Asi teased with a smile. In the eyes of the Fiji people, the way of life of the streamers is indeed too bland and boring to understand.

"......Doesn't it taste? It's not nothing, but it's completely different from those that can be felt with the tongue, after all, the taste that the tongue can taste is very limited. "Although the memories of the past as a Lepei Lian will never fade away, Mono is now fully adapted to the identity and survival style of the streamer. He went on to explain, "Actually, you can feel many different 'tastes' with your soul power, even infinite. It can be said that the life journey of the streamer people is interesting and not uneventful. ”

"Oh, what's that like?" asked Assi, curious.

"I don't know how to explain it, although there are many words in the streamer language to describe those feelings, but in the words of Lepelian, I can't find the right words to express them. Mono thought for a moment before continuing, "But you can try to imagine if you could hear the sound of various flowers blooming, and each flower would sound different when it opened, like playing a different instrument. Moreover, when the flowers attract insects, they also take on certain colors that are not visible to the naked eye. There are many names of light and color in the streamer language, which are not found in the Lepeilian language, because the biological limitations of the Lepelian people indirectly limit the richness of language and culture. Imagine if you put your hand on a tree and you can clearly feel the rhythm of his life, and even sense his joy. Think about this colorful world, if you can smell red, or whatever it is, you don't need to use your eyes to distinguish colors. If you can see the shape of various sounds, or the morphological changes that occur when sounds encounter different substances, then you can easily distinguish the types of sound bodies even if you don't have to listen with your ears...... All of these feelings can only be experienced through the power of the soul. ”

"It turns out that you can feel more and see more wonderful worlds...... How could I have forgotten that the priest had said that the scope of the streamer's perception of things had long since gone far beyond the limits of what Lepelian's senses could perceive. Assi couldn't help but sigh with some envy. Streamers mainly perceive the world with their souls, and this way of perception is not directly related to their five senses. However, Lepelian people can only rely on these five bodily senses to perceive and judge things, and as a result, their knowledge of the world is quite limited.

These things that Mono said, Assi didn't even think about. Now I know that they can hear the sound of flowers blooming, they can also touch the rhythm of life, and even smell the smell of colors and see the shape of sounds...... The tastes that the streamer can feel are probably something that he will not be able to feel for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Assi couldn't help but look at Priest Syrwin on the other side, wondering if Skagaze was now like him, and was also feeling sorry for those "tastes" that they might not be able to experience in their lifetime? Although they had received more gifts of life than ordinary people, they were still far inferior to the Streamers. The distance between them and the streamer is probably the distance between the people sitting on the ground and the farthest star in the night sky.

Assi was right, Shi Jiadi was talking to Priest Sirwin about "taste" right now, but not what he thought it was.

Due to the convergence of values and worldviews, the individual character of the streamer people is not very obvious, but the racial temperament is very distinct. The group is neat and orderly, as one, but it is not a matter of words and deeds, but a feeling. Because, every streamer exudes a fresh, peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, without exception. Although they also have joy from the heart, they do not exuberant as the Fiji people, especially at such a large carnival where tens of thousands of people gather, and the difference between the two races is even more obvious.

Shi Jiayan couldn't help but ask curiously: "The streamers seem to be indifferent and quiet, you don't taste food, you don't collect money, you don't indulge willfully, how can you have fun after such a long time?"

"Streamer people have always felt the beauty of existence and explored the meaning of existence. The priest replied with a leisurely expression.

"Yes...... "It's so profound!" Shi Jiayan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The streamers have been displaced for thousands of years in the war in the world of Lepeilian, but they did not expect that this priest would say that they "have always felt the beauty of existence". This made Shi Jiayan can't help but reflect on himself, what have the Fijian people done in the same thousand years? Even after tasting food, harvesting wealth, and indulging their emotions, generation after generation has always struggled in the whirlpool of remorse, anger, and unwillingness, how could they have let go of their feelings and hatred and seriously thought about the meaning of their own existence? After all, the ancient navigators stayed on the Streamer Star for a very short time, and they didn't even have time to see all the different forms of the Streamer, and certainly didn't see the whole picture of the Streamer Star. So she took the opportunity to ask, "Will the streamers hold a banquet?"

"Yes. The priest affirmed.

This answer was a bit of a surprise to Shi Jiadi. If a group of elegant and noble streamers gathered together, but all of them were like this priest, with a calm face, the whole banquet would be ...... Thinking about it, Shi Jiayan couldn't help laughing, and asked curiously, "How did the streamer hold a banquet?"

"In our homeland, the festival is similar to the banquet here. Every new Streamer Year, that is, when the dormant period alternates with the blooming period, the Streamer people will gather under the Tree of Life to hold a grand festival. At that time, we will also taste some delicacies. Although there are other foods in the homeland besides the light and water necessary for basic survival, it is not necessary for the streamers. We usually only eat these at festivals, but we don't hunt them for food. The priest said.

"You don't need to hunt, but whether it's crops or livestock, you need to harvest or hunt before you can eat them, so how can you eat them without killing them?"

"The creatures of the Streamer Star are different from the world of Lepeilian. ”

"Is there a big difference?" asked Shi Jiayan curiously.

"In our homeland, both animals and plants have a very high survival intelligence. In order to get the opportunity to travel, plants sometimes choose to parasitize on birds and animals, helping each other and coexist peacefully. In the meantime, both parties are still free to choose to terminate or continue this parasitic way of survival. In the process of parasitism, the fruits of the plants will blend with each other's tastes, which are very fragrant and luscious, and melt in the mouth. Moreover, taking the fruit itself does not harm their lives. ”

"It's incredible! I never thought that plants could bear fruit in birds and animals. For Shi Jiayan, this is obviously incredible.

"The 'result' is their innate intelligence, and they already know how to provide for the survival of other living beings without harming themselves, because they all understand the importance of the cycle of life. ”

"But how do animals and plants learn these skills?" asked Shi Jiayan, puzzled.

"On the Streamer, all life will follow the rules of survival. Because, with his soul power, the Sun King created the Streamer Star and our lives, and the laws of survival were written in our souls as early as the beginning of the creation of life. This is the survival wisdom given to us by the Sun King, and it is also the innate instinct of all streamer creatures. ”

"I still can't imagine ......," Shi Jiayan seemed to understand.

Actually, you don't have to think too far ahead, just take a closer look at the world you live in and you'll find out. Priest Sylven exuded a soft glow on his body, and his eyes shone with charming wisdom, and he continued in a cold and pleasant voice, "The forest behind you, and all the life in it, obey the laws of this world. They are all using their innate wisdom to absorb the nutrients they need to survive on this land, trying to thrive on themselves, but they never destroy it wantonly and never overdo it. Because, they all instinctively know the importance of the cycle of life. ”

"But animals and plants don't speak, so how do you know they have such intelligence?"

"Every life has a different kind of wisdom. Plants are very friendly and intelligent, and have established a good cycle with animals since ancient times. Some plants attach their seeds to the juicy flesh of the fruit, and the animals, after tasting the delicacies provided by the plants, will also help the plants to spread the seeds further afield, keep the plants thriving, and then provide more delicious fruits for the animals, and so on. Not only in the forest, but also in the ocean, all living things communicate with each other with each other's wisdom. ”

Listening to the priest's words, Shi Jiayan took a deep look at the forest under the night sky, and a sense of shame arose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but ask himself: We were born in this world, grew up in this world, and should have known the "rules of survival" of this world. But when did we start to forget? from when we invented the first myth for ourselves, or from the invention of war, or from our greedy plundering? what made us so arrogant and delusional to dominate everything? Is it not our complacent civilization that is at work? While animals and plants know interdependence and peaceful coexistence, we who are arrogant have long since detached ourselves from nature and regard ourselves as rulers, who know only plunder and destruction, but do not know how to share and coexist. Are we, who claim to be wise, inferior to beasts and trees?

These important but often overlooked issues began to plague Shi Jiadi, leaving her at a loss. Her mind has been torn between "life" and "survival", and it is difficult to choose, which is a question she has never thought about before.

Inadvertently, her eyes suddenly touched a golden red light, and then she was surprised to find that the future Sukaranna, who had always had strong hostility and prejudice against the streamer people in the past, would naturally sit next to the strange child and the one-winged streamer, with a happy face, talking and laughing, which surprised Shi Jiayan very much.

You must know that the former Future Sukarana was not only hostile to the Streamers, but also often criticized the Fiji people around him who had lived with him for nearly ten years with that pedantic view of justice, and always regarded the kindness of others as malice. Although he has an upright character, he seems to be covered with thorns, and he is always stubbornly guarding against others, and he is so cocooned that no one can get in, and he can't get out. Now, what has changed him?
