Chapter 801: The Visitor
Before leaving Stone Town, Hao Ren curiously asked Geisel about the ancient city: "Do you know what this ruin is? ”
Based on Geisel's arrival in the ruins for rituals, he judged that this ancient city should have a special meaning for the natives of this world, but since the city and population were there, he could not understand why Geisel's people had abandoned this magnificent and fortified city in favor of a harsh nomadic life. Perhaps the climate change in the underworld has caused the humans in this place to live as nomads, but he still wants to hear what Geisel has to say.
Geisel's first reaction after hearing this question was a little strange: "The goddess should know everything, why did you ask about the ancient royal capital?" ”
He still firmly believes that Vivien is the "goddess" who created everything in the world and knows everything, so many of the questions Hao Ren asks him are inexplicable: the tribal warrior thinks that the person standing next to the goddess should also know everything.
It's a tricky question, and if you don't do it, it's hard to explain where you're coming from and to undermine the trust you've built so hard. But Vivien came to the rescue: "God sees the world differently than you, and you tell us about the changes in the world as people understand it. ”
What she said was unfathomable and full of a feeling of detachment as soon as she heard it, Hao Ren couldn't help but glance at her, and whispered in the Holleta language: "Your acting skills are soaring, how can you think of this?" ”
Vivien smiled lightly: "Do you think there are few people you know who pretend to be ghosts?" Those old guys used to talk like that 10,000 years ago. ”
Convinced of Vivien's words, and immediately recognizing the "greatness of the gods", Geisel pointed to the crumbling megalithic buildings around him and introduced: "This is the holy ancient king of Dorashir. Before the end of the Sun Dynasty, this great city was dedicated to the Holy Spirit of the Goddess. And to this day the Holy Spirit still echoes in the shadow of Dorashill. The Goddess herself came here today to check on the Holy Spirit's condition? ”
"You ask me, who do I ask." Vivien subconsciously waved her hand, then quickly coughed twice, "Ahem, I mean don't speculate on God's thoughts, I said that I see the world differently than you - you see I even have a doppelganger." ”
Vivien said as she dragged Heathera to the front and pressed her head hard to make her nod, which was convincing and reasonable.
"Why is this city abandoned?" Hao Ren asked curiously, "What's going on with the Sun Dynasty?" ”
"After the vault of heaven was closed, the Sun Dynasty ended an era in accordance with the teachings of the goddess," Geisel said without thinking as if he were reciting a text. Apparently he had studied these sentences for many years, "Now is the 'Emerald Age,' the greatest and most peaceful age." ”
"The sky closes...... Emerald Chronology ......" Hao Ren looked thoughtfully at the black "crust" behind the clouds in the sky, it was obvious that the natives of this world vaguely knew how the eldest son used the canopy to block the planet, but that history has been wrongly distorted into a myth, and the growth activity of the eldest son has been passed down as a miracle of the goddess closing the heavenly dome, and it is probably impossible to ask the true history from Geisel's mouth, "Do you know what is on the heavenly dome?" ”
Geisel's face suddenly showed a serious and fearful look: "That's where the goddess exiled the sinners. No one has ever dared to cross it. ”
"The sky is sinful?" Hethanna couldn't help but be surprised, "What about the underground?" ”
Geisel looked honest: "The underground is where the glory of the goddess lies. ”
Hethanna tugged at the corners of her mouth: "The myths and legends of this planet are really weird, but they are quite in line with the worldview of the Bloodlines - I don't like the light of day, and it is quite comfortable to live in a cave." ”
Vivian looked away with an embarrassed expression: "It's all because I didn't have money to live in a cave all day because I didn't have money to live in a cave all day. ”
"Ahem. Thinking about the sight of another layer of the earth's crust overhead, I agree with Geisel," Hajen coughed dryly to interrupt Vivien's history of suffering. Then he noticed that everyone had stepped out of the wall of the "ancient king capital Dorashir", and the vast prairie spread out in front of them. However, there is no shadow of the Horde stationed in this direction, nor a vehicle to ride, "Geisel. Where are you talking about a tribal gathering? ”
"In that direction," Geisel said, geisel, pointing to the pillar tree at the end of the horizon, "at the foot of the Pillar of Eternity, where my people linger, we await the coming of the second Windswept Moon, and perform the rituals with the other tribes under the guidance of the divine winds. ”
Hao Ren glanced at the magnificent black pillar that ran through the heavens and the earth, and couldn't help but speak: "I'll go...... How did you get here? Horseback riding? ”
"Come on," Geisel smiled proudly, the lines of his face smeared with oil blooming, "and it's been a long time." The messengers who were ordered to light the incense were not allowed to enter Dorashir on their livestock, but we had to come on foot, otherwise the ancestors would not respond to the call after lighting the incense. ”
Hao Ren still needs to reason in his mind to understand the religious vocabulary that Geisel mentioned. The "incense" that the other party said should be the herbs that were lit on the stone platform before, and this warrior seems to have come here today to do "unsealing", or to lead the way, for another more important religious ceremony in the future. The people of this world follow strict religious rules, and although it is unclear how they interpret the existence of the "Goddess of Creation", there is no doubt that their faith is quite religious.
Even if the world is turned upside down, even if they become refugees in the space debris of another world, their belief in the goddess remains the same.
"It's not a matter of a day or two to walk over," Hao Ren tiptoed and looked into the distance, "Anyway, your taboo only says that you can't ride cattle into the royal capital, but you don't say what you have to ask for when you go back, right?" ”
Geisel nodded inexplicably.
Hao Ren threw his private car out of the carry-on space: "That's it, get in the car!" ”
Geisel was stunned for a moment, then decided to take this as a miracle.
Hao Ren's BMW good horse has nothing to say except for its frustrated appearance, except that it can't become an Optimus Prime on the spot. He hurried with the mindset of paying a little attention to the landscape around him, and it didn't take long to reach the foot of the giant pillar tree. He drove up a hill near the Pillar of Heaven (which itself was part of one of the tree's outcropping roots), and from here he looked down to see the tribe of Geisel.
I saw that in the valley between the two ridges there was a babbling river that ran through the valley floor, and the small river flowed from the roots of the giant trees to the depths of the grassland. On both sides of the creek, you can see a large number of scattered huts. It was an oval-shaped tent-like house, covered with thick straw mats and animal furs. There are also many wooden poles around the house, and the wooden poles are tied with blue and green decorative cloth strips, which look primitive and simple, but have an indescribable harmony and beauty. This is the settlement of the Hanouks of the West Wind, which is said to be one of the largest tribes in the world.
However, judging by the size and number of houses, the population of this "largest tribe" probably does not exceed one or two thousand. In Hao Ren's view, this is almost a dangerous signal: how many humans are left in the whole world?
But the people of Geisel were not as worried about these distant things as Haoren, and the settlements in the valley seemed peaceful and tranquil, with the men, women, and children walking between the houses with a tranquil look, and a large number of strange animals drinking water from the settlement's downstream: they were the precious property of the settlement. The probes released by Hao Ren also found wild animals similar to those in other parts of the grassland, but they were clearly not domesticated.
Lily stared at the quiet and peaceful herdsmen of the valley, and then suddenly looked up at the black rock tops behind the clouds: if she didn't, she would have to forget what this place was.
Geisel had just recovered from the gallop that had come to his senses, and he hadn't expected to see the settlement so quickly, so he couldn't help but pat his cheek and try to get himself back to shape. Then he looked at Hao Ren and Vivien with a look of excitement and unease: "I don't know how to inform the elders about the arrival of the goddess...... Is there anything I need to pay attention to? ”
Vivian only learned a few words of foolish pretense from her old friends, and she didn't know anything else, so she subconsciously poked Hao Ren's arm: "You confess, you are more or less a pope." ”
Hao Ren sighed, looked at Vivian and then at Hethana, and nodded slightly to Geisel: "You just said that the goddess took her trumpet to go down to the mortal micro-service for a private visit......"
Then he looked at the others: "Well, I also brought a working group with me." ”
Lily secretly poked Vivien in the back and whispered, "Bat, do you really think it's reasonable to let the landlord arrange this?" ”
Vivien gritted her back molars, "I'm regretting it!" (To be continued......)
