Chapter 001: The Ancient Garden of Eden

Next Chapter

"People always have to die. "People like to say that.

No, there are people in this world who never die, such as me.

My name is Zhou Gong, from birth to the present, I don't know how many years I have lived, whether it is tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, I only remember that in ancient times, we lived in a place called the Garden of Eden, and that Garden of Eden at that time was composed of nine major islands and more than 3,600 small islands and reefs off the southeast coast of ancient China.

At that time, although our Garden of Eden had not yet been officially unified, according to the various information we had, we had learned that the Garden of Eden was not only centered on the Eden Island where we were located, but also that our Eden Island and the other eight surrounding islands formed an orderly and neat gossip pattern, and the other eight islands were called Putuo Islands, Zuzhou Islands, Coral Islands, Yingzhou Islands, Luzhou Islands, Fenglin Islands, Yuanzhou Islands and Xuanzhou Islands.

Later, I heard the goddess of Wushan Yao Ji say, according to the "Book of Heaven: The 99th Volume of the Classic of Mountains and Seas": At that time, our Garden of Eden belonged to a subtropical oceanic climate, mild and rainy, evergreen all year round, no heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, the average annual temperature was about 21.6 °C, the land area was about 106,800 square kilometers, and the sea area was about 556,900 square kilometers.

Yaoji later told me that according to the 101st volume of the Book of Mountains and Seas, the West Eden belonged to the subtropical monsoon climate, warm in spring and cool in autumn, hot in summer and cold in winter, abundant rain, four distinct seasons, with an average annual temperature of about 16.5 °C, a land area of about 66,000 square kilometers, and a sea area of about 360,000 square kilometers.

That night, Yao Ji also told me that compared to the Garden of East Eden, the Garden of West Eden at that time had just begun to multiply human beings, and that the Garden of West Eden and the Western human race were indeed created by God Jehovah, as described in the Bible.

After Jehovah first created a man out of clay, he wanted to create a spouse for Adam because he felt that the man he called Adam was too lonely, apparently much more lonely than his only child today. As a result, because Jehovah's skills were still shallow, far inferior to his mentor Nuwa Niangniang, he had no choice but to use hypnotism to hypnotize Adam, and then use Adam's ribs to create a woman, so there is this "mother of life" named Eve in the history of Western mankind.

According to the old people, the reason why our Garden of Eden is called the Garden of Eden is related to "the match made in heaven, the love of men and women", according to legend, a few years ago, when our ancestors wanted to name this place, they were not satisfied with a number of names, either the male ancestors were not satisfied, or the female ancestors were not satisfied, so they also fell in love in the vast field. Later, our female ancestor because the male ancestor has been "upside down" on her, she is very comfortable, very hearty, very death-hungry, as a result, she called this place "a garden on a whim", and won the recognition of our male ancestors.

Over time, after our ancestors gradually moved towards civilization, in order to make the name more elegant and poetic, and we humans liked to refer to "Yi" as "you, him, her, other" and so on, no matter who talked to whom, they liked to point to each other, so they later interpreted "Yidian Garden" as "Garden of Eden", which means "the garden of you and me".

Later, Yao Ji told me that Heavenly Court never gave names to uninhabited islands or uninhabited areas, but once human beings appeared on an uninhabited island or uninhabited area, then Heavenly Court would naturally name it, and because Heavenly Court later felt that the name "Garden of Eden" was very beautiful, the "Garden of Yidian" originally recorded in the Book of Heaven became "Garden of Eden".

At that time, the largest island in our East Eden was called Eden Island, which was about 240 kilometers long from north to south, about 220 kilometers wide from east to west, and had a total area of about 52,000 square kilometers, which was almost the sum of the area of the other eight major islands. At that time, our island of Eden had a large plain full of flowers, rich and beautiful, and at the same time, there were endless grasslands with green grass and endless grasslands, and between the great plains and the prairies were scattered countless rivers, lakes and famous mountains and rivers, which made people linger. At that time, the surrounding area of our Eden Island was even more water and sky, with both mountains, blue seas, silver sands, boulders, reefs, etc., as well as coconut groves, waves, gulls, clouds, etc., which made you feel like you had entered a fairyland.

At that time, we also had an island in the island on Eden Island, although the small island called Peach Blossom Island was only 1111 square kilometers, only about the same size as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region today, but because Peach Blossom Island is not only the core of our Eden Island, but also the best place for us to enjoy the moon in the world, plus Peach Blossom Island is full of peach blossom trees, and Peach Blossom Island is also full of colorful peach petals, so Peach Blossom Island has become a place that people flock to.

At that time, there were always two moons in the sky, and whenever the sun sets, the two moons will slowly rise from the east and west directions, so that the night sky at that time always shines brightly with a very soft and pure luster. That kind of luster is mainly white, white is red, red is pink, pink is blue, blue is yellow, yellow is purple, purple is green, a total of seven colors, so for human beings at that time, such a gorgeous moon will always be two rounds of crystal clear, white as snow bright moon, there will never be a phenomenon of "cloudy and sunny", and it is precisely because of the long-term reflection of the two rounds of bright moons that we human beings also have a beautiful picture of smooth wind and rain and prosperity of six animals.

At that time, there was a round and large lake in the core area of our Peach Blossom Island, shaped like a swan egg, and the name was Swan Lake, although this lake was only 32 square kilometers, which was about the same size as the Macao Special Administrative Region today, but there were always thousands of swans gathered here, most of them were mainly white, with a total of five varieties of white, black, yellow, pink and flower color, with a beautiful body and a moving voice. At that time, whenever we humans saw the swans taking off, we would always be deeply intoxicated, always thinking that one day we could fly like the swans, and the swan eggs laid by them were our natural delicacy.

According to Yaoji, because our Garden of Eden is a classic case of Nuwa Niangniang's "opening the world and creating things, and making people from soil", so long before she became the "Goddess of Wushan", as a top student of the Wushan Goddess Academy of the Heavenly Court, she and Chang'e, the master of the Moon Palace, have already paid strong attention to our Garden of Eden, and because her temperament is obviously more graceful and charitable than Chang'e, very similar to Guanyin Niangniang, so she is deeply favored by Guanyin Niangniang, the dean of Wushan Goddess Academy.

Yaoji also told me that even though she and Chang'e were full of curiosity about the world, because the heavenly court had too many precepts (such as no heavenly god was allowed to go down to the mortal world without the permission of the heavenly court, etc.), so before that, they really had never come to the human world without permission. In fact, she wants to send a "poverty alleviation working group" to our world, so she and Chang'e will definitely not have a chance to go down to the mortal world.

According to Yaoji, in July of that year, when she and Chang'e flew to the world wearing a pink color dress and a pink color dress, they felt that our East Eden Garden was extraordinary, obviously far more beautiful than other places in the world.

That afternoon, when Yao Ji and Chang'e finally flew over our Peach Blossom Island, because they felt that the layout of our Peach Blossom Island was very similar to the Laurel Garden in the Moon Palace, all kinds of peach blossoms were in full bloom, reflecting each other, there were small peaches, big peaches, five-color peaches, thousands of petal peaches, red peaches, green peaches, golden peaches, and red peaches, and there were more than ten kinds of peach blossoms, which made them immediately dissolve and passionate, so they took Peach Blossom Island as their foothold.

According to Yao Ji, the reason why they take Peach Blossom Island as a foothold is actually related to the Swan Lake in Peach Blossom Island, because in addition to the thousands of swans dancing here, at that time, lotus flowers are in full bloom, lotus leaves are green, red flowers are blooming, fragrant, and countless mandarin ducks are still in pairs between lotus flowers and lotus leaves, playing arbitrarily, trembling and trembling, so they touch the scene, and their already rising hearts are even more turbulent and undulating, how can it be called a difficult one?

At this time, Dayi and I cruised to the vicinity of Swan Lake, and as a result, because we were all rare young talents in the world, for example, Dayi was majestic, the jade tree was in the wind, and he was very heroic, and he had the heroic spirit of a generation of overlords;

Yao Ji couldn't help but cry out with joy first, "Ah, Sister E, look at the two sons below, one is majestic and has a jade tree in the wind, and the other is handsome and elegant, who do you choose?"

Chang'e giggled coquettishly, "Oh, Sister Yao, my sister is taller than you, so I'll choose the majestic one, right?"

Yao Ji couldn't help but pout, "Hey, you're only one centimeter taller than me, what is tall? I think you have a crush on him as a chieftain, right?"

Chang'e still chuckled, "Ha, since Sister Yao said so, then Sister Yao will ask Sister Yao to accept it!"

Yao Ji frowned again, "Then, Sister E, you said that we don't know people, how can we approach them?"

Chang'e still smiled at Yingyingjiao, "Hey, Sister Yao, that's not easy, let's give them a tornado now, let them be heroes to save the beauty!"

Yao Ji also giggled, "Mmmm, heroes should save beauty!"
