Chapter 243: Sinners
There are legends of fallen angels in the West, and naturally there are rumors of fallen humans in the East. But whether it is a fallen angel or a fallen human, what is brought to the living is often not an aesthetic myth, but countless horrors and darkness.
Fallen human beings, also known as sinners, first appeared in China's first historical book, the Book of Shang.
Those who are familiar with history know that Shangshu was written in the Warring States Period, which is divided into four books: "Book of Yu", "Book of Xia", "Book of Shang" and "Book of Zhou". Of course, we will not talk about this professional historical knowledge here, but only about the criminals.
The term "sinner" only appears in the Book of Yu, and according to the chronology, it is probably the period when Emperor Shun was in power.
At that time, the law was not perfect, and it was basically at the level of the murderer resisting the death and the thief chopping his hands. For a slightly more complicated crime, the official is blind and does not know how to sentence it.
This part of the people can't be killed, and it seems unreasonable not to kill. In the absence of such laws, a special class of criminals emerged.
It is recorded in the book that in Kyushu, floods are rampant, and there are murderers (murderers), looters (robbers), thieves (thieves), and all those who do not tolerate the sins of the world, collectively called sinners.
The book also says that the sinners cannot stand on the land of Kyushu, bathe in the sun, eat grains, or drink water.
In short, it is a sentence: you are guilty, the state regulations do not allow you to live on the land of Kyushu, you are not allowed to shine in the sun, you are not allowed to eat the food that grows on the earth, and you are not allowed to drink water. Anyway, this land doesn't feed you, so why should you go?
The sinners had no choice but to leave their homes full of resentment, and after the curse of the court officials, they kept running, constantly looking for a place where the sinners could stand.
Because of the curse, the sinners can only walk in the night and lie dormant during the day. They had no food to eat, no water to drink, and they had to travel all day long. In this case, you are lucky to survive, and you deserve to die, just to atone for your crimes.
There is an old saying in China, called the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape one of them. If you understand it, it means that the way of heaven is endless, and all things always have a last ray of life. Although the sinners are a little miserable, they have really found a place where they can survive before they die.
That place is called the Endless Abyss in the Book of Yu, but to put it bluntly, it is a bottomless pit leading to the underground. In the bottomless pit, the sun never shines, and the grains naturally cannot survive. More importantly, it is not under the jurisdiction of Emperor Shun.
It's a little darker, it's a little colder, but it's the most ideal place for the sinners to live.
So this group of people who committed all kinds of sins went down the endless abyss, and there was no trace of them again.
Since then, the Endless Abyss has become a place of filth and filth, but whenever there are extremely vicious criminals, they are all driven out of the land of Kyushu and thrown into the Endless Abyss to fend for themselves. According to the "Book of Yu", during the period of Emperor Shun alone, there were more than 300,000 criminals who entered the endless abyss!
When Mr. Jiang said this, I immediately thought of Australia.
During the Age of Discovery, Australia became a British colony. At first, the British were ecstatic, thinking that they had found another treasure. As a result, after surveying, it was found that most of the 8 million square kilometers of land was barren land lacking fresh water.
Only the coastal area is still suitable for human habitation.
Without resources, there is no profit, so the British, frustrated, simply used the land as a place of exile. Wherever there are thieves, robbers, rapists, murderers and so on, they are all thrown into Australia.
As a result, as the number of exiled prisoners gradually increased, the place became more and more prosperous. Coupled with the discovery of some mineral resources, Australia has developed rapidly.
In just a few hundred years, Australia has become one of the world's most famous developed countries.
This account of Mr. Chiang is similar to the exile of convicts in Australia in the early days of the British. Thinking of the appearance of those four black-robed cloaks, I had already vaguely guessed the result.
Sure enough, Mr. Jiang said, so many criminals entered the endless abyss, and a new social form was naturally formed. Anyway, no one cares about this dark underground world, and I can live as much as I like.
As long as everyone does not leave the endless abyss and does not violate the cursed fate, they will naturally be safe. But there is no food and no water in the endless abyss, and it is still an extremely difficult task to survive.
This is the end of the records in the ancient books, and since then there has been not a single word about the sinners. But in more history books, there is another legend: the city of Xudu.
It is rumored that the city was built by the sinners. Because of the curse of Emperor Shun, some of these sinners have changed their life forms and become beings like ghosts, and some of them have lived in the endless abyss in the form of zombies with the help of the corpse transformation effect of the corpse breeding ground.
In order to better adapt to the dark life below, some sinners have formed another kind of human race, which is called the geocentric people in the West and the desolate people in the East.
After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful. If the city is still just an ethereal legend, then the geocentric and the desolate people have already been confirmed, and many scientific studies have proved these two points.
I've even seen with my own eyes in Mido the desolate people who never came to the earth.
I said, since you are a sinner, why don't you stay in the capital city well, what are you going to do when you run out? This pockmark is not pockmark, isn't this a pit man?
In fact, this thing is really depressing, thousands of years, the fallen human beings have created another form of life in the underground world, and they can't see the sun, what are they running out to toss? Everyone stays honest, can't the well water not interfere with the river water?
Zhang Wuren whispered, about this, I think it should have something to do with the Russian spirit hunters.
The Vatican meeting, in which no one from Russia attended, submitted another report to the other members of the Vatican meeting, saying that they would relaunch the Earth Telescope program, that is, use a super drill to drill a big hole in the earth to see what is inside the earth.
For this reason, they not only invited most of the geologists in Russia, but also sent invitations to some exorcists at home and abroad.
Among them, Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua received their invitation letters.
According to the temper of the Russian spirit hunters, if they can get things done on their own, then they will only make a fortune in silence and will never share it with everyone. Since invitations have been sent to many exorcists in the name of the Vatican Convention, it means that the Earth Telescope project has reached some kind of bottleneck, or some kind of problem that even they can't solve.
I can't say that I've really dug up the capital city.
The Endless Abyss has disappeared since the Shang and Zhou dynasties due to geological movements, and the so-called Xudu City is naturally nowhere to be found. Now that the Russian soul hunters have dug up the city again, it is not incomprehensible that the sinners in it have come out to see the world.
In particular, Ji Zhongheng was also a person from the era of Emperor Shun, and almost replaced Emperor Shun as one of the new Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It is not impossible to say that the sinners took Ji Zhongheng to the capital city as a guest.
In the end, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Mr. Jiang analyzed the origin of these black-robed cloaks clearly in a few words. If everyone was confused and at a loss before, now they are all thinking about it, considering what kind of impact and impact it will bring to modern society if the city really exists.
Xu Jianqin suddenly said: "Regarding this matter, it is best for everyone to confirm with the Russian side, and use the second crisis pact of the Vatican Convention as a starting point to inquire about the progress of their Earth Telescope program, as well as some unknowable events encountered." ”
Naturally, there will be professional people to do this, and the staff who followed it immediately contacted Lao Maozi from the special channel. After only a while, the staff member in charge of liaison ran back with a strange face and said, "Director Xu, Tchaikovsky of the Spirit Hunter has sent a document for everyone to read for themselves. ”
