Chapter 174: Contradiction (I)
If the Shaman Spirit Palace can really travel through the past and the future, and still hides the secret of creating life, it is a contradictory existence for the Alien Dao.
The so-called heretical way is to have one's own beliefs and beliefs, but yet have a skeptical and critical attitude towards one's own beliefs and other religions.
It can be said that the heterogeneity is originally a contradictory existence, and this contradiction can be traced back to the person who opened the coffin, which can be seen from the nine taboos of the person who opened the coffin - one taboo does not know what to take from the coffin; Second, it is taboo not to enter the genealogy of the deceased; Three taboos: the sun, the moon, and the stars; 4. Taboo: fornication, gambling, tobacco and alcohol; 5. Do not harm the living family of the deceased; Six taboos: no heavy money is charged for opening the coffin; The heirs of the Seven Taboo Masters are heirlooms; 8. Don't believe in God and don't worship God; Nine taboos: greedy for life, leaving the sun and abandoning the soul.
Among them, the eighth taboo clearly writes "believe in God but do not respect God", that is, believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, but have reservations.
Among the various sects of the different sects, the real atheist is the Hunt, and the beginning of the founding of the Hunt by the Lone Army has determined this core, not believing in the existence of ghosts and gods, but firmly believing that there are indeed unexplainable things in this world.
He believes that anything that cannot be explained on weekdays cannot be immediately blamed on ghosts and gods, and that a conclusion should be made after an in-depth investigation.
This method seems to be correct, for hundreds of years, most of the strange things investigated by the hunt have been man-made, and a very small number of strange things that even the hunt thinks are dusty.
Some people will ask, if the whole heretical path is so contradictory, why is there any need for its existence?
For example, their actions are a kind of resistance to conventional thinking, and they think that if there are gods and ghosts, then why is there so much suffering in the world? Are people born to suffer? So, they have to keep trying to prove that gods and ghosts don't exist.
At the same time, they also determined that if the gods and demons really existed, then the hunt would also lead people to rebel against this unfair world.
Therefore, in folklore and most religious beliefs, it is believed that man was created by God, and that man can only reproduce in the way God has ordained, and there is absolutely no other way.
Then, in a place like the Shaman Spirit Palace, there is an ability similar to that only a god has, so isn't this the divine realm?
Therefore, the alien way needs to be proven, and it is urgent to be confirmed, just as primitive humans discovered meteorites from the sky and wanted to figure out why this happened.
Liu Mouzheng said: "There is no detailed record of how many people went to that different way, only a lot of people, at least no less than a hundred, on the way to the Shaman Spirit Palace, they were ambushed by the Jurchen tribe led by the priest. ”
Tang Qianlin was surprised: "Ambush? Did the priests know they were going? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "That's right, the priest has already seen this scene in the Shaman's Spirit Palace, so he wants to prevent these heretics from going, and the two sides have launched a cruel fight, but no matter how the Jurchen warriors fight, they are not the opponents of the heretical alliance, and in the end they were all defeated, and the priests who lost their hands were also captured." ”
After the priests were captured, they still urged them not to enter the shamanic palace, on the grounds that it was not a place where ordinary people could go, and even if they did, they would not be able to understand everything there.
The heretical alliance would not give up the expedition because of the priest's bitterness, and at the pleading of the disciple who sewed a thousand corpses, they did not embarrass the priest, but left the priest to move on.
Later, according to the will of the so-called "gods", this shaman priest founded another pagan organization outside the Guanwai, that is, the shamanic priests, and for the first time, the mysterious forbidden place was truly defined as the "Shaman's Spirit Palace".
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Ye Da immediately asked, "You mean, that place was not officially called Shaman Spirit Palace before?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Of course not, in fact, the word shaman originally referred to a kind of person who can communicate with the gods, and the god here refers to the power of nature, which is a general term, different from other religions, the whole human race in the development process, before the emergence of a defined religion, all unknown worship can be called shamanism." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Do you mean to say that everything that was worshiped in the Shamanism outside the Guanwai later, what four spirits and the like, all originated from the Shaman Spirit Palace?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, that's what it means. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Then what happened later?" What happened again? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "As for the later, there are very few records in the records left by the lone army, but it is only said that they suffered heavy casualties in that expedition, and few people survived in the end, but they only confirmed one thing, that is, there is no so-called god in the Shaman Spirit Palace." ”
There are no gods in the Shaman's Palace? Where there is no god in a place with that kind of magical power, it is like a bolt from the blue to the heresy.
You know, if there is no God in the places that are thought to have divine power, it is tantamount to denying that God has the ability to change the past and the future, and even to create life, and then it is also a denial of everything that the heretical way thinks.
Although there is criticism and suspicion in the heretical way, these two are also based on the process of constant searching.
Since we searched for it to the end, we found that ghosts and gods do not exist, so what is the meaning of the existence of heresy?
Therefore, the surviving heretics decided to hide the existence of the Shaman's Spirit Palace forever and maintain the status quo.
Liu Mouzheng said: "For the sake of their own living environment, these people in the different ways finally chose to completely conceal this matter, but because the lone army did not participate in that expedition on the surface, they did not have any written or verbal commitments, and the lone army decided to continue to explore, but in terms of their ability at the time, they could not form another decent expedition, so they simply fell on the heavy responsibility of the hunter." ”
Tang Qianlin finally understood at this time: "No wonder, when there was a conflict within the Hunt, Lone Army wanted to come forward to be a so-called peacemaker, in fact, everything was planned by Lone Army himself, in order to justifiably investigate the Shaman Spirit Palace again." ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, on the surface, Lone Army doesn't know anything about what happened back then, but in fact, it is Lone Army who has been leading this matter. The lone army first manipulated the later capture to produce a split, and then set a so-called rule on the grounds that he wanted to reorganize the capture, that is, whether it was the Xuanzi faction or the Yuanzi faction, which faction found the Shaman's Spirit Palace first, which faction had the ability to reorganize the capture. ”
This practice could not be said to other aliens who knew the truth, because in their eyes, they thought that what the lone soldier did was not a coincidence, or because they were unwilling to participate in the expedition back then.
However, in the hundreds of years that followed, the corpses of the sewing thousand corpses still explored the secrets of life and death in the northeast land.
Tang Qianlin asked: "Didn't sewing a thousand corpses participate in the agreement?" Why bother? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Sewing a thousand corpses is indeed participating in the agreement, but the agreement is not to touch the shaman spirit palace again, but sewing a thousand corpses is not to find the shaman spirit palace, but to study the so-called secrets of life and death, hoping to get closer to the so-called 'god' and create new life with his own ability." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "There are also instructions from the lone army, right?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Of course, because all the materials left behind were destroyed back then, the location of the Shaman Spirit Palace, the location of the Snow Sealed Ridge, and even the bronze plate was returned to its original place, even if the lone army wanted to find it, he had to let the hunt start over." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "In the end, the hunt was found, right?" ”
Liu Mouzheng nodded slightly: "Yes, the hunt has already been found." ”
Tang Qianlin said angrily: "Since you have found it, why do you want my senior brother to come to the Northeast?" Why did you kill my brother and involve me in this matter? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Because the hunters who found the Shaman Spirit Palace again did a stupid thing, and everything they did later was just to make up for this mistake, who knew that this mistake fell into a bigger mistake, causing the hole of the mistake to get bigger and bigger." ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Liu Mouzheng: "Okay, now that everything is clear, now, you should answer us, who are you and what is your purpose?" ”
Liu Mouzheng sighed slightly: "I said before, I am both a catcher and a lonely, my purpose is to stop you and make up for your mistakes." ”
Tang Qianlin was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Do you mean that the mistake is me?" ”
Tang Qianlin thought that his master Xiahou Shidao and another capturing Tang Zhanbai brought themselves back from the Northeast back then, and learned from various clues and evidence that he should not be from this world, could it be said that he was the person that the two of them found from another world through the Shaman Spirit Palace?
But why did they do that?
Liu Mouzheng saw through what Tang Qianlin was thinking at this moment and explained: "Because of me. ”
Tang Qianlin was surprised again: "Because of you? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, because I did that, they thought that they could stop me by doing that." ”
Tang Qianlin closed his eyes, raised his hand and said, "Wait, your purpose is to stop me, and the purpose of them bringing me here from another world is to stop you?" Isn't that a contradiction? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "The mystery will be revealed, let's go, I'll take you to the last place, but the road will be very hard, even if I know how to go, I can't avoid those dangers." ”
The rest of the people looked at Tang Qianlin and waited for him to make a decision.
Tang Qianlin pondered for a moment and said: "You lead the way, you and Jin Gusi are at the forefront, I will say that in the front, if you want to play any tricks, I will definitely not be soft." ”
Liu Mouzheng didn't say a word, just walked slowly towards the position of the Tiangong Pillar.
When everyone came to Tiangong Zhu, they unexpectedly found that the part left by the Japanese army had not been washed away by the flood, but only two Type 38 rifles, an MP28 submachine gun, and a small amount of ammunition were found.
Tang Qianlin handed a rifle to Ye Da and a submachine gun to An Ran, and kept observing Xia Shuang's reaction.
Because Xia Shuang's identity is still a lone soldier, although her mission has now been completed, who can guarantee that Liu Mouzheng did not give her other instructions.
Coming to the clearest river in front of the Tiangong Pillar, Liu Mouzheng pointed to it and said, "If you need to dive down from here, you all follow me." ”
As he spoke, Liu Mouzheng was the first to jump into the river.
