Chapter 178: The Demon of Fire (I)
Why did these god-killers utter the word "sober"?
In that tribe, all people lived a God-ordained life, without food and clothing, without worries or sickness.
When Gu Yunrong learned about these things, she felt incredible, and after repeated requests, she begged the Godslayer to lead her through the swamp to find out what was going on in that tribe.
When Gu Yunrong came to the swamp, she found that it was indeed as the god killer said, and when those people saw Gu Yunrong, they were very scared, and everyone avoided her.
Because those people were not hostile, Gu Yunrong simply stayed cheeky, the main purpose was to find out what kind of place this was, and where was it in China? And how can she leave?
After a period of time, Gu Yunrong found that the people in this tribe lived according to the rules every day, and after getting up in the morning, everyone bowed down to the gods together, prayed, and then began a day's labor, the so-called labor, which was to harvest some grain and prey.
In this process, Gu Yunrong discovered that everything here is many times larger than the outside, for example, rice can be found here, a rice plant is enough for the people of this tribe to eat for a long time, as long as a vole is caught, the meat of the vole is enough for half of the tribe to feast.
Day after day, Gu Yunrong gradually discovered that there is no such thing as a so-called single family in this village, everyone seems to be brothers and sisters, no parents, no aunts, aunts, uncles, and more importantly, these people don't seem to understand another kind of interaction between men and women.
In other words, Gu Yunrong didn't notice the slightest affection in the eyes of these men and women of the same age.
It's as if they don't understand what love is? There are no lovers here, let alone couples.
One day, Gu Yunrong found that these people began to sing and dance, and sent off another group of older people to leave, these people changed into new clothes after a full meal, although the new clothes were also coarse linen clothes, but they were all freshly made.
Then, with dry rations on their backs, they lined up and walked towards the west with torches, and stood in the trees at night like a fiery dragon slowly moving through the woods.
Gu Yunrong asked the leader, where did these people go? The leader told her that these people were going to the Divine Domain.
As he spoke, the leader looked envious.
Gu Yunrong was puzzled: "Then why don't you go?" ”
The leader looked into the distance: "It's not time yet, when the time comes, we will naturally go." ”
Early the morning of the second day after the people went to the so-called Divine Realm, the people who remained here went to the mother tree, picked the fruits, and took the child out of it.
When she saw this scene, Gu Yunrong was completely stupid, she finally understood why there was no so-called family here, there were no couples, because it seemed that there was no need to reproduce the next generation in a normal way.
At the same time, Gu Yunrong was also extremely scared, she felt that this place was too terrifying, and she kept asking the leader what kind of place was this?
The leader's answer was the same as what Tang Qianlin had heard: "This is the garden of the gods. ”
What kind of bullshit god's garden, Gu Yunrong was very scared and began to find a way to escape.
It was a bit ridiculous to say that she had escaped, because there was no one here to imprison her and not let her leave, but she didn't want to stay any longer, so she gathered some dry food and ran in the direction of the west, where the people had left, while it was night.
Gu Yunrong walked in the woods for several days, and finally came to the end.
Yes, this place has an end, a mountain wall, a mountain wall that towers up to the clouds, so smooth that it is impossible to climb at all.
So, Gu Yunrong had to walk along the mountain wall to find the exit, and after walking for several days, she found that she was back on the edge of the swamp.
Gu Yunrong wrote in her diary -
It seems to be a basin, surrounded by mountains, but there is no exit, it is an isolated place, which reminds me of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", as well as "The Story of Nanke", but in the paradise described by the ancients, now after I have experienced it myself, I found that it is so terrible.
Is this really God's backyard? No, I don't believe in the existence of God, after all, I've overturned the so-called ghost theory more than once, so what is this place?
……
Gu Yunrong met the Godslayer again on the edge of the swamp, and because the food ran out, she could only follow them back to the swamp again, and asked how they escaped in the first place? Why did you flee here?
The godkiller's answer was, "There is a devil who claims to be Yaruli to sober us up." ”
Devil? Yaluri? The devil teaches them to be sober? When Tang Qianlin read this, he felt very puzzled, and raised his eyes and asked the god killer next to him: "The devil made you sober?" Or is it called Yaluri? Do you know who Yaluri is? ”
The Godslayer looked puzzled, but said, "I don't know." ”
But the godslayer then made it clear that one of them, when they went hunting, they met a strange man who had the same power as the gods, and imprisoned them in a cave, and kept them in separate confinements, with each man and woman locked up separately.
In this way, they were imprisoned in the cave for a long time, during which time, without suffering harm from the man who called himself Yaruli, who also provided them with food and water, but only let them live well, and told them that they should live the life they wanted.
After being separated from the tribal environment, without restraint and mutual supervision, men and women naturally develop feelings and uncontrollable physical desires over time.
Ten months later, most of the women were pregnant, and during that time, Yaluri told them that humanity was born because of this, and that this was the normal life that humans should live, and that humanity multiplied, not grew from trees.
At the same time, Yaururi takes them to another place, where they find that the people who were thought to have entered the realm of the gods in the past have been devoured by a monster and their bones thrown into a river.
At this point, these people finally realize that they have been living a lie in the past, so they decide to go back and expose God's face.
Yaluri advised them not to do that, because they didn't have the power to rebel against that so-called God.
But these sober people decided to save their compatriots and returned to the tribe with their children, but what awaited them was the condemnation of the tribe, and after the condemnation, the leader of the tribe told them with the will of the shaman that if they did not believe, they could go to the realm of the gods.
The godslayers knew that to go to the Gods' Realm was to die, so they fled the tribe and sought help from Yaruli again, who then led them to the swamp and made them settle in the woods behind the swamp.
Tang Qianlin asked in wonder, "Why are you in the swamp?" ”
"Yaruli said that the gods could not pass through the swamp, and that it was safe here. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "What do you mean?" God can't pass through the swamp? That swamp will stop the gods? ”
The Godslayer nodded slightly.
Tang Qianlin walked out of the cabin, came to the deck, looked at the sea outside, and kept rubbing his eyes, always feeling that everything he saw in front of him was illusory.
Tang Yushi stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It's nothing, I just think it's too strange to describe." ”
Tang Yushi asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It's not real, I feel that everything is so unreal." ”
Tang Yushi said: "I used to have this feeling. ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Tang Yu: "What do you mean?" ”
Tang Yushi said: "Before you took me back to the Yi family's mansion, I felt that everything was so unreal, as if I couldn't control myself, as if I was in a dream, but it was only after Aunt Xia Shuang taught me to read and write, I gradually felt that I was real." ”
Tang Qianlin looked down at the diary: "It's time for us to go back." ”
Tang Qianlin got up to say goodbye to the godkiller, but the godkiller stopped him: "Join us, against, God." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I don't even know where I am, in short, the owner of this diary, that is, your teacher, didn't lie to you, this is underground, and there is a world above, but you can't survive in that world, understand?" The only thing you can do is maintain the status quo. ”
The Godslayer didn't seem to understand what Tang Qianlin was saying, but finally let go of his blocking hand.
When Tang Qianlin and Tang Yushi walked through the swamp under the leadership of the God Killer, Tang Yushi asked thoughtlessly, "Dad, what is a god?" ”
Tang Qianlin stopped and looked at him: "Why do you ask that?" ”
Tang Yushi said: "When Aunt Xia Shuang taught me to read and write, she told me a lot of stories, telling the story of Nuwa making people, Nuwa mending the sky, and also telling the story of Kua's father chasing the sun, a lot, are those true?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It's just a mythical story. ”
Tang Yushi asked again: "Then how did we get here?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "In foreign countries, there is a scientist named Darwin, who put forward the theory of evolution, that is, human beings have evolved from some kind of low-level animal to the present, and I don't know much, and I can't say it clearly, so when it rains, this is why my father let you read more." ”
When Tang Yushi was about to ask something, Tang Qianlin said again: "When you do anything, or see anything, no matter what environment you are in, don't jump to conclusions, understand?" ”
Tang Yushi nodded silently, although he didn't understand anything.
The Godslayer led them through the swamp and stood at the edge of the swamp to watch them leave.
Tang Qianlin walked a few steps, stopped, turned around and walked back: "When you met Yaluri, you said that he had the power of God, what did you mean?" ”
The Godslayer said, "Fire." ”
Tang Qianlin wondered: "You mean, he can make fire?" ”
The Godslayer nodded.
Tang Qianlin asked again: "Then you couldn't make fire by yourself before, and the fire was given to you by God, right?" ”
The Godslayer nodded again.
Tang Qianlin looked around, found some flammable tree velvet from the side, took out flint and flint and lit it, turned his head and asked, "Is that the case?" ”
The godkiller didn't seem surprised, but said, "This, Yaruli, teaches us." ”
Tang Qianlin probably understood, the god killer said that this was the way Yaruli taught them to make fire, but Yaruli had a more convenient and fast way to make fire than this.
