Chapter 176: The Mother Tree (Part II)
Tang Qianlin looked around, counted carefully, and found that there were at least sixty babies.
Tang Qianlin slowly shuttled around those women, looked at the children carefully, and found that all the children were just full moon.
Where is such a coincidence?
In this world, many people are bound to be born on the same day, but in a village, the chances of dozens of women becoming pregnant at the same time and giving birth to a child on the same day are almost zero.
What's going on?
Tang Qianlin looked at Ye Da, who was standing there with a blank face, and motioned for him to ask again.
After Ye Da asked, the leader still answered like that, and kept telling Ye Da that they did not dare to blaspheme the gods, these were the children of God, and they were given to them by God.
Tang Qianlin thought about it and decided that he couldn't communicate with these people in a normal way, so he asked Ye Da to ask: "Ask them, how can you prove that God gave them?" ”
When the chief had heard this, he immediately arose, and respectfully led them in front of him, to lead them into the woods.
After Tang Qianlin and Ye Da followed the leader into the woods, they found that there was a road in the forest, and on both sides of the road were large wild flowers, the smell was very fragrant, and every five meters or so, there would be a strong man with a spear guarding there.
As they walked by, the brawny men would lay down their arms and kowtow.
So he walked for a long time, and when he came to a tree surrounded by thorns, the leader knelt on the ground and said, "We are all born of the garden of God......
What the? Born from the garden? What do you mean?
Tang Qianlin and Ye Da looked at the garden, and Ye Da said, "What's in it?" ”
The chief replied, "Your people." ”
Ye Da looked at Tang Qianlin: "What a mess." ”
Tang Qianlin walked towards the gate of the thorn wall, which was a door made of flowers and branches, and above the door was a round wooden plate, on which were still painted with the five evil stars.
Tang Qianlin and Ye Da walked through the door and saw a huge tree, the trunk of the tree looked like a yellow fruit tree, and the branches and leaves on it looked like a Bodhi tree, and when they looked at it from a distance, it seemed to feel like a banyan tree.
The strangest thing is that the branches of the tree are hung with huge translucent flesh-colored fruits, and each fruit also emits a strange dark light, the dark light flickers on and off, giving people the feeling of breathing.
Tang Qianlin and Ye Da realized something, and the two approached the tree, looked carefully at the fruit closest to them, and finally found that the fruit was actually a baby.
Ye Da was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at the other fruits, and counted them carefully, there were about sixty of them, which was about the same number as the newborns held by those women before.
Tang Qianlin said: "God's child originally meant this. ”
Ye Da also exclaimed: "This, this, this is amazing, people grow from trees?" Is there really a god in this world? ”
Tang Qianlin still denied it: "No, don't forget, according to God, man must reproduce through himself, not in this way, which on the contrary denies the existence of God." ”
Ye Dadao: "Then what is this?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "There is such a thing as a mother tree in shamanism, do you remember? ”
Ye Da carefully recalled: "Yes, but that's the legend of Mongolian shamanism, right?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I heard that Genghis Khan's grave is related to the legend of the mother tree......
The Ilkhanate (one of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire) wrote about the mother tree in the "Historical Collection" compiled by Xiang Rashit: it is said that Genghis Khan once went to a certain place in the steppe and found a lonely small tree growing there, and as far as the eye could see, there were all grasslands around, and there was only such an unknown sapling within a radius of dozens of miles.
The most amazing thing is that the sapling was surprisingly green and fresh, and Genghis Khan sat under the little tree for an hour, and he was very happy in his heart, and he felt a sense of belonging, so he said to his retinue and ministers: "Our final destination should be here." ”
So, after the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire built a magnificent mausoleum for him under that tree.
Then, for some reason, the place became a forest, so that no one could find the first tree, and no one knew where Genghis Khan's tomb was.
Ye Dadao: "Maybe that's true, maybe it's just a legend, but what can that prove?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "In the Mongolian steppe, the sunshine is short, and the growth period of trees is also short, and it often takes decades, or even hundreds of years for a tree to grow, so when people at that time found a lonely tree in a grassland, they naturally felt that the tree had the so-called divinity." Moreover, shamanism is originally a symbiotic coexistence with nature, shamanism believes that all things are animistic with awe, and furthermore, women in shamanism are also representatives of the gods, so they are combined with the legend of the sacred tree to become the mother tree. ”
Ye Dadao: "As soon as you say this, I suddenly remembered that Shakyamuni also seems to have attained positive results under the Bodhi tree. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "There are many religions related to trees, and in Christianity, there is also a legend of the tree of life, which is said to be in the Garden of Eden......
In the first book of the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Genesis, it is recorded that the tree of life was in the Garden of Eden, and its fruit could lead to eternal life. After the cunning ancient serpent tricked Adam and Eve into eating the fruit of the tree of good and evil, God sealed the entrance to the Garden of Eden and blocked the passage to the tree of life to prevent humans from eating the fruit of the tree of life.
Tang Qianlin walked around the tree: "In Taoism, there is also tree worship, and I think that the tree is one of the passages to become an immortal. There is a legend of Hou Daohua flying from a pine tree to an immortal in the "True Immortal Body of the Past Generations". Moreover, Taoism also believes that in the heavenly fairyland, there are trees everywhere, and many immortals are surrounded by trees, and the sacred trees around different gods are different, such as jade trees, red trees, black trees, and trees of Sanhua, etc. ”
Ye Da nodded and said: "There are clouds in the "Taiping Sutra", people have a life tree to give birth to heaven and earth, its spring life is born in March, the life tree is born in March, the life tree is born in summer, the life is born in March, the life is born in March, and the life of Huai Bai in winter is born. There are all officials of the main tree, whose lives are exhausted, and their trees are half alive; The life is gone, and the lord cuts down the tree. Its people live in peace, want to live forever, change their minds easily, and pass on their trees to the gate of heaven, and their names are immortal. The gods and lords are all pure and shiny, and they are born in the heavens, and they are honored to protect the gods. ”
Tang Qianlin stopped and stopped: "I suddenly remembered Asda's words, maybe these are not from our world, but from another dimensional world, and we can't explain these things at all with our existing knowledge. ”
Ye Da said: "But what is certain is that there is a so-called god here who looks exactly like me, as long as you find him, you can figure it all out." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, but, looking at the statements of these underground people, they don't know where that god is. ”
As soon as they said this, the two of them heard the sound of gunfire coming from a distance, and it was a rhythmic gunshot, which sounded like a warning and a signal.
"Oh no, there's something wrong with the camp!" After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he pulled his legs and ran outside.
Ye Da followed closely and found that Tang Qianlin was running fast, so he had to chase after him with all his might, regardless of the shouts and prayers of the leader behind him.
At this time, what Tang Qianlin was thinking in his heart was Liu Mouzheng's words, what he did might cause other people to die, but would his harmless behavior really lead to something happening?
How is this possible?
Back in the camp, Tang Qianlin saw Liu Mou standing there with a rifle in hand, and the others looked anxious, seeing Tang Qianlin coming back, An Ran immediately ran forward.
Tang Qianlin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
When Liu Mouzheng threw the rifle directly to Tang Yu, An Ran said: "Qianlin, Li Yunfan is gone!" ”
Tang Qianlin was stunned, and Ye Da said: "There are so many of you, why can't you look down on a big living person?" ”
"We are all tired and need to rest, who knows if he will wake up and leave alone." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "There is no doubt that Yun Fan will definitely go to Miyake Kyoji to take revenge." ”
Liu Mouzheng looked at Tang Qianlin coldly and raised a finger towards him.
What do you mean?
Tang Qianlin stepped forward and pulled Liu Mouzheng aside: "What do you want to say?" ”
"The first." Liu Mouzheng said coldly, "You haven't forgotten what I said, have you?" Li Yunfan is the first, as long as everything starts, it can't be stopped. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's leave and sneak away with him, is there any necessary contact?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Of course there is, if you and Ye Da don't leave, you are the one who keeps vigil, will you easily let Li Yunfan leave?" But you didn't listen to the dissuasion, so you had to go with Ye Da. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Who was the night watchman at that time?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "It's your godson Tang Yushi." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Sharper than me when it rains!" If Li Yunfan woke up, he would definitely find out. ”
"yes, alas, he's poisoned." When Liu Mouzheng turned his head to look at Tang Yu, "Li Yunfan doesn't know how to use poison, think about it, who did it?" ”
Tang Qianlin was surprised: "You mean Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, it was they who poisoned us and stunned us, and then woke up Li Yunfan and took him away." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Oh no, they are going to take revenge." ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Bei Zihong has always been in love with Ye Feng, Ye Feng was killed by Miyake Kyoji, he will definitely take revenge, but unfortunately he and Yan Liuyan can't do it alone, even if you find your help, you will not agree to his revenge plan, because you have to take care of the overall situation, so Bei Zihong will only find Li Yunfan, who is as vengeful as him." ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Liu Mouzheng: "Even if I don't leave the camp, Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan are poisoned, we will all be recruited, and Li Yunfan's departure is not necessarily related to what I did." ”
Liu Mouzheng shook his head and said, "You still don't understand." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Then you let me understand and tell me the truth!" It's that simple! ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Everything is connected, as long as one of the links is broken, the whole chain will be broken, as long as you listen to me, we can break these inevitability!" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "Do I have to watch Li Yunfan go to death?" There were only three of them, and the Japanese were several times more numerous than them, and they all had weapons! ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "As long as you take a wrong step, take a wrong step, don't go, you will regret it." ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "When it rains, let's go." ”
When Tang Qianlin led Tang Yushi away, Liu Mou was standing there, looking at their departing backs, and let out a long sigh.
