Section 10 Legends

At dinner, Kozan spoke about the origins of the three faiths......

The temple originated in the Far Eastern Continent, and according to legend, a monk traveled to the local area, combined with the tribal civilization there, and created the belief of the temple. @頂@点@小@说, he later took in hundreds of disciples and built the first temple. Hundreds of years later, a ninth-generation disciple of the monk traveled to the snowy ice field, spread the fire of faith to the local tribes, and led them out of the harsh ice field to the land of the northern continent. In respect of the birthplace of the temple's beliefs, the disciple named this side the Northern Temple.

Thousands of years later, the temples of the East and the temples of the North developed separately, forming different cultural traditions. Oriental temples are divided into "outer halls" and "inner halls", and there are also two types of believers. Those who live outside the temple and regularly come to pay homage to their ancestors or pray to the gods and Buddhas are called "monks." Those who live in the temple and worship the ancestors and the "Fudo Ming King" are called "temple monks". Monastery monks usually have to shave their hair, light incense scars for practice, and some are pious, abstinent and vegetarian.

It is said that the wandering monk who went to the Northern Wilderness Continent was a disciple of the "outer hall" and had not read much of the "scriptures" of the temple. Therefore, he brought only the ancestor worship beliefs of the temples to the north, while the gods and Buddhas remained in the Far East. Later, with the progress of human civilization, the exchanges between the East and the North gradually increased. It stands to reason that the northern temples should learn from the orthodox eastern temples and recover the lost beliefs of gods and Buddhas. However, the Far East has been barren since ancient times, and after the two sides came into contact, most of them supported the East from the North and transported boatloads of grain.

As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is soft, the Oriental Temple, as the birthplace, in turn moved closer to the northern temple and learned, changing a lot of the original traditions, and the belief in gods and Buddhas only retains the worship of the five gods and Buddhas of "Fudo Ming King", "Nine Heavenly Dragon God", "Qilin Firesmith", "Phoenix Holy Maiden" and "Xuanwu Great Immortal".

Later, the two temples merged. The name of the Oriental Temple is Ancient Yimai, which means that the temple comes from ancient inheritance, and the Northern Temple is named Brilliant Yimai, which means the growth and development of the temple.

After talking about the origin of the temple, Kozan talked about the relationship between Notre Dame and the temple. At this time, he fully embodied the su zhì that a god stick should have. When describing other religions, although his tone is calm and his attitude is correct, and he seems to analyze the problem from an objective point of view, in fact, it is difficult for him to hide his contempt and ridicule for other religions.

Notre-Dame has its origins in the western continent. In ancient times, the primitive people of the western continent worshipped the power of nature, and they imagined natural phenomena such as the moon, the sun, thunder and lightning, fire, wind and rain as their gods. At that time, the primitive people of the western continent lived in caves. Therefore, they believed that their gods should also live in the cave, and it was the highest cave, hence the legend of the "Mountain of the Gods".

In this way, faith gradually developed in the western continent......

However, among the five major plates of the world, the primitive people of the western continent were the latest to be civilized and had been in a matriarchal society for the longest time. Thus, in their original beliefs, the female moon god was the primary deity, while the other gods were secondary deities. In contrast, female deities generally had a higher status than male deities. For example, the god of rain is the sister of the god of the moon, the god of wind is the lady-in-waiting of the god of the moon, while the god of the sun is the chauffeur of the god of the moon, and the god of fire is the cook of the god of the moon......

A thousand years ago, the western continent finally got rid of the matrilineal society and entered the patrilineal society.

At this time, a part of the men became strongly dissatisfied with the status quo of the faith. They knelt under the pomegranate skirt every day, looking at the little slippers, and their self-esteem was irreparably damaged. So, they randomly chose a male god among the gods, that is, the coachman, worshipped him as the only true god, and declared that the other gods were false gods, and then there was the current temple.

"Their true god is a coachman, but they always refuse to admit it." Kozan concluded, and then went on to talk about the tradition of trivia.

Iron Slag listened to it without saying a word, and he was not very interested in these things, so he didn't listen very attentively. It's basically the left ear in and the right ear out, and I forgot about it just after listening to it. And Kozan has a wide range of knowledge, and he knows a little bit about everything, as if he is talking endlessly. Iron Slag listened drowsily, but just as he was about to fall asleep, Kozan inadvertently told a legend of the ancient temple, which was originally trivial, but it was like thunder in Iron Slag's ears!

Kozan said that the ancient temple had always believed that the genes of ancient beasts were stored in the genetic chain of human beings. The most powerful creatures of the Ancient Beasts are the Dragons, who resemble large winged lizards that breathe flames and possess eternal life and endless power. In the legend of the ancient temple, when humanity is in danger of extinction, the ancient true dragon bloodline will awaken, and several "dragons" will be born among the humans. They will shatter the void and carry the bloodline of humanity to another world.

According to legend, dragonborns don't need to exercise, they get stronger and stronger as they get older. And they are usually lazy, don't go out when they have nothing to do, and sleep for a very long time. After growing to a certain age, they do not age anymore and maintain eternal youth.

Kozan regarded the legend as a mere anecdote, but Iron Slag's eyes widened and he repeatedly asked for details.

"The rule of evolution is survival of the fittest, if humans really have the genes of dragons, then why do they evolve in the direction of weakness?" Iron Slag asked.

Kozan shook his head, saying that the direction of evolution was adaptation, not strength. The more powerful the creature, the more it consumes, and having eternal life means that the evolution of humanity has stopped. Kozan guessed that the legend of the temple may have originated from the phenomenon of "bamboo trees blooming", and that it should be just a myth and legend, and there is no authenticity.

"What other specific characteristics do dragonborns have?" Iron Slag asked.

Kozan thought for a moment and said that it was recorded in the ancient temple texts that dragonborns would sleep longer and longer as they grew older. In addition, after absorbing enough energy, the dragon will transform into a real dragon form and become a real dragon.

Iron Slag's heart was awe-inspiring, and he remembered a person......

This man spends all day in the office and never leaves half a step for unnecessary things. And her office is connected to her residence, and when she is lazy, she even has to be served food. In addition, she likes to sleep too much, she goes to bed early and gets up late, she has to take a nap in the morning, take a lunch break at noon, and doze off in the afternoon. On top of that, he'd never seen her workout, but she was already immeasurably strong.

Won't it ......

Iron Slag shook his head, throwing the thought out of his mind. After all, it's just a legend, it's all a kid's thing. If there were really dragons in the world, it is estimated that scientists would have turned the sky upside down.

After dinner, after cleaning up the tableware, the old and the young went to the holy pool with towels and took a warm bath comfortably. By the time I returned, it was already nightfall, and the sky was full of stars. Iron Slag stood on the castle and looked up at the starry sky, and during this time, he had been exposed to many new things, more than he had been in the ten years he had in Iron Mountain Town.

Perhaps, his fortunes began to change from here, and he has gradually adapted to the fact that Kozan called him "Nolseth". In the dark, he seemed to grasp a certain feeling, something he wanted to chase. But that thing is still ethereal, just a little bit of feeling. However, this feeling is indescribably subtle, not too intense, but it cannot be dispelled.

Like a faint spark, it seems to be extinguished at any time, but it is stubborn......

And just like that, he started a new life. Every morning, he would drive the red comet to the endless forest to see if there were any ice crystals and berries and prey that came out early in the morning to feed. Then return to Valhalla to train with Kozan. In the afternoon, Kozan would take him to the reference room and teach him all sorts of things.

Every evening, after dinner, he would go to the holy pool to take a comfortable bath. Then head back to the fire and listen to Kozan tell those old stories.

Time passed day by day, plain and fulfilling.

He learned the art of fighting that had been passed down from time to time. Although every time Alice scanned it, he came to the conclusion that it was still the golden primary, but he felt that he was getting stronger and stronger, at least for now, and Kozan needed at least his hands to defend against his attacks while standing still.

On the other hand, he is becoming more and more knowledgeable and knows a lot of things that he didn't know before. Now he knows where the western continent is, what the pattern of the world is like, the culture and history of each silver city, and the basic situation of the major forces and families.

He only now understands that the world outside of Iron Mountain Town, and even beyond the Northern Wilderness, is so vast. He was already looking forward to going to the academy in the western continent, he wanted to see the land that had not been invaded by war and radiation, he wanted to see the ancient town with a history of 1,000 years, he wanted to taste the old wine in the winery, he wanted to go to the museum to see the Eden, and to see the development and civilization of mankind. He also wanted to go to the Middle Continent, to see the interdimensional warfare there, and to visit the garden in the sky in Qiman's dream......

The world is vast, and Kozan seems to have opened a window for him. Looking out of this window, he saw a corner of the world and thought of countless possibilities for the future. He is no longer the hairy boy in Iron Mountain Town, and he has no pursuit except fighting and eating all day long. What he wants most now is to learn his skills quickly and then go around the world.

Everywhere to see, everywhere to see, everywhere to experience.

He also thought that if that day came, Kozan would come with him. This wise old man, like an encyclopedia, can answer almost all his questions, and is more useful than Alice.

However, Alice's database has also been completely upgraded. The Temple of Glory has a collection of millions of books and countless materials. Alice spends her days in the reference room, constantly scanning, trying to enter all the ancient books and files into the database.

In the blink of an eye.

The stars and rivers turn, the sun and the moon change, the stars change, the years fly like a shuttle, and time flies quietly......
