Chapter 333: Worship God
Ye Ning and Yan Hanjun stepped on the land of this new city, starting from the edge of Source City and moving forward. The first thing that comes into view is the continuous city wall, embedded between heaven and earth, like a dragon in ancient legends, guarding the peace of the city.
As a coastal city, Source City can survive in the context of the constant infestation of demon beasts. Not only is the natural barrier of the nearby mountains sheltering it from the wind and rain, but also the ancient city walls.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of Source City that the north of the Dragon-shaped Mountain Range and the west of the entire continent, starting from the north of Source City, several large cities in a row stood here steadily, as if the huge world pattern had nothing to do with them.
The two walked through the city walls and gradually descended into this vibrant city, with buildings lining the streets with their own characteristics: some high-rise buildings glittered in neon lights like wealthy houses in the clouds; Some of the smaller, chic shops are like baskets of flowers, emitting a variety of heart-warming scents.
This street seems to be like a big stage, staging the hustle and bustle of the city. Busy traffic, full of people, all kinds of merchants, busy pedestrians, busy markets, all kinds of goods, all kinds of food, all meet here, forming a unique visual feast.
They walked through the streets and alleys to the heart of the city, the bazaar. It's even more lively, with a crowd of people and a torrent of noisy voices, including bargaining, trading, greetings, laughter and other elements, like a rhythmic poem of the market.
The bazaar is filled with orange and yellow lights, illuminating the various stalls, making the goods on sale even more attractive and attracting a steady stream of customers. The rich colors and aromas are intertwined, whether it is golden fruits or steaming hot food, it is a joy to behold.
Walking in the hinterland of this new city, they are drowned in all kinds of sounds and pictures, this is life, this is the life they should have, real and warm.
Compared to the days spent in the ruins of the city, this new city is undoubtedly full of energy and hope for them. In the ruins, they can only see a desolation with traces of history, where every brick and tile carries memories and sadness of the past.
Buildings that once soared into the sky have been reduced to ruins, and the bustling streets and alleys have become deserted and silent. They walk through the ruins every day, and their mood is inevitably affected by the atmosphere around them, becoming heavy and melancholy.
However, when they walked into this new city, all the gloom was swept away. The bustling scene here rejuvenates their souls and makes them feel as if they have rediscovered the rhythm of life.
They were delighted and delighted by the city's vivid bustle and vibrancy, and they looked around the bazaar, trying to fit in. The people here have no idea that the two of them have just walked out of Huaicheng, nor do they know the stories behind them, everyone is busy living, and their enthusiasm and happiness are so real.
Ye Ning was amazed by this new city, and even more relieved that he was able to live in such an environment. Ye Ning knew that there was still a long way to go, but at least now, they had found a place where they could stay for a while, which made Ye Ning feel relieved and relieved.
Suddenly, the melodious sound of church bells rippled through the air, as if bringing a touch of sanctity and purity to this bustling city. The sound of the bell echoes in every street and alley, like the melody of music, which makes people's hearts gush with a solemn and humble emotion.
As the bell rang, several people in religious uniforms suddenly appeared in the bazaar, they were dressed in blue robes, looking solemn and sacred. They walk through the crowd like a warm light, guiding the lost forward.
Their appearance attracted the attention of the people around them. Whether it is a street vendor, a merchant or a pedestrian, they all consciously make way for them, respecting their identity and responsibility. Their destination is the same, as if an invisible force is leading them in the same direction.
Ye Ning was more curious, and followed the steps of those disciples all over the place, and came to a simple and simple building. The building does not have lavish decorations and dazzling carvings, but it has a different sense of sacredness.
The exterior of the church is very simple, it is made of rough and strong stones, showing a solidity and stability. Its design is generous and decent, although there is no ornate decoration, but the overall look is very dignified and elegant, full of awe and reverence.
The front of the church has a wide stone staircase that leads to a large double door. Above the door, there is a golden "worship god" three big characters, wrapped around several circles of wrought iron patterns, giving people a calm and kind feeling. The door is flanked by two towering Gothic minarets, like a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the faith of man and god.
"This is the worship of God. A religion peculiar to the North. Yan Hanjun explained, "This religion worships God. Nameless, indescribable god. They don't describe what God looks like. Just believe that there is a God in this world, that God created all things, and that God will save them from suffering. ”
"You know a lot!" Ye Ning praised that as a scientific researcher, Yan Hanjun knew too much. But Ye Ning complained again: "I really don't understand why there is such a ridiculous statement as believing in God." ”
"There are only two beliefs in this world, one is called materialism and the other is called idealism." Yan Hanjun explained solemnly, "If you don't believe in God, then you must believe that everything in the world originated from matter and is constantly evolving and developing. Right? ”
"Isn't it?" Ye Ning not only nodded, but also asked rhetorically.
"In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong." Yan Hanjun continued to explain seriously, "Especially, those of us who don't know much about the world at all. ”
"Do you understand how the world works? Do you understand where our planet came from? If you think it's the self-development of matter, have you seen it? In the same way, they have not seen God's creation of the world. If everyone is a reasonable guess, what is right or wrong? ”
"Just as a wolf eats a sheep, to protect a sheep is to starve the wolf, and to protect the wolf is to kill the sheep. There are so many things in this world that we can't intervene in, that we can't understand. At least until you see it with your own eyes, don't jump to the conclusion that there can be no absolute right or wrong in a thing. ”
Yan Hanjun looked at Ye Ning's contemplative appearance and continued to explain: "You are a supernatural being, you are high. Of course, you are not afraid of anything. You will be more willing to believe in the knowledge you have come into contact with, that is, the theory promoted by Wu Yu, that the supernatural can be powerful enough to change nature. ”
"In this case, you must be more willing to believe in yourselves and in the power in your hands. Of course, that's just you. In this world, there are more ordinary people, and there are no ordinary people. ”
"Before we at the Dawn develop weapons, before everyone can be fully armed. When they encounter demon beasts, they can't resist at all, and even if they kill and injure their relatives, they can't take revenge. ”
"So what do you think about this situation for them? What are they going to believe? Like you, believe in abilities they don't have? Or do they believe that the world is materially developing, and what they are now experiencing is the inevitability of survival of the fittest? ”
"Who wants to admit that they are a loser? Who wants to admit that they were born to be eliminated? Who wants to admit that they live only to be a stepping stone for others, to be a foil for others? No one wants to, and no one wants to. ”
"They believe in God, but they need a faith in their hearts to keep them alive. They need a faith to be the driving force behind their lives. They need a faith that encourages them to move forward in the face of setbacks. ”
"You are the Mighty One, and you believe in yourself. So you won't understand them, and you won't understand the worship of God! Yan Hanjun said seriously.
Ye Ning fell into deep thought, Yan Hanjun could talk about Ye Ning's heart every time, which made Ye Ning fall into deep thought.
Yan Hanjun continued: "Their belief also has a lot to do with history. Do you think it is cruel that in ancient times, one person committed a crime, and nine groups were punished in a row? Think it's reasonable for one person to make a mistake and one person to be right now? ”
"It's just because the times are different. In that era when science and technology did not develop and many people did not understand the rules, only by killing chickens and monkeys could one policeman be killed! Each era, each region, the corresponding rules, organizations, and rules that appear in them have a certain historical inevitability! ”
"There is no accident in the world, it is just the inevitability of wearing makeup and masks."
"This is the union of countless suffering people, who have experienced the distress, fear, hatred, hope and other factors of demon beast infestation, and finally, this god worship cult was born. Let them have faith and a place where they can place their souls. ”
Yan Hanjun's every word penetrated Ye Ning's soul. Ye Ning pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed with Yan Hanjun's statement. Since a thing can exist in the world, it must have the value of its existence.
Ye Ning took a look at this church, which was not grandiose, but very simple. In these troubled times, it is indeed not easy to build a church of this appearance.
Ye Ning looked around, and there were more and more disciples in blue robes around him. There are also many people who come around to join in the fun. Ye Ning glanced around, among these blue-robed believers, he seemed to see a familiar figure, poked Yan Hanjun and said:
"Hey, I seem to see someone I know."
