Hearing Liu Wu say this, the passer-by on the opposite side nodded and said, "So that's the case, I thought it was something else." ”

Liu Wu smiled and said: "That's right, I'm very interested in myths and legends around the world, but for many reasons, the legends of each country and even each city are different, so I want to hear what the legends of other places are like." ”

The passer-by nodded and said: "Then you are asking the right person, I am a businessman, I have always traveled from south to north, for the legends, although I can't say that I know a lot, but I also know a lot, what legends you want to hear, I can tell you." ”

Liu Wu continued: "Any legend is fine, preferably a legend about the gods, I am very interested in it. ”

The passer-by on the opposite side pondered for a while and said, "There are so many legends about the gods, and even every city is different. ”

Liu Wu nodded and said, "That's great, I'll listen to it." "Yes

The passer-by thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk about a few of the most famous first." In the mythological system I know, every city has a god who has never appeared, but we still rely on him to gain the power of faith, such as the god of the royal city, who is eight meters tall and mighty, and his body exudes golden light. And the gods of this town are different from the gods of the royal city. ”

Speaking of this, the passer-by took out a picture album from the bag he carried, handed it to Liu Wu and said, "Look at it, it is the god of faith in this town." ”

Liu Wu spread out the picture scroll and looked at it, and found that it was a mystery that looked no different from ordinary humans, but it was a little taller and more muscular.

Liu Wu thought about it and found that the gods believed in this country seemed to be no different from human beings, but they were a little taller and stronger than human beings in the painting, according to the passer-by opposite, every city should have such a so-called god, but these so-called gods should be human beings rather than real gods, and they will not be the hidden power of this world.

After Liu Wu finished reading the scroll, he handed it back to the passers-by and said, "I probably understand, but these look like human beings, sorry, I don't blaspheme your gods, but I have heard many myths and legends, and none of them are like this, and the gods that everyone believes in seem to be like human beings." ”

The passer-by on the opposite side smiled: "When I was traveling, I heard many myths from other countries, and even myths from other worlds, which are different from the myths we believe. You're right, I don't have anything hard to accept, the gods we believe in are indeed like mortals, but that doesn't stop us from believing in them. ”

Liu Wu nodded: "As long as you can bring strength to yourself, it doesn't matter what kind of faith you have." ”

The passer-by on the opposite side smiled and said, "That's right, that's the truth." ”

Liu Wu continued: "So, do you know any other myths? ”

The passer-by on the other side pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The myths that we believe in in our country are all the same, that is, the one I just told you, if I want to say anything else, it is only the myth of the neighbor next door." ”

As soon as the passer-by said this, Liu Wu instantly became interested and asked, "The myth of the neighbor next door?" Can you tell me about it? ”

The passer-by nodded, laughed and said, "Of course, but the myth of the neighboring country is a little strange." ”

Liu Wu asked, "Oh, what's the strange?" ”

Passers-by said: "The myths of neighboring countries do not seem to have a specific belief in a particular person. In their mythology, there seems to be only one god from beginning to end, and that god has no specific image and is very vague. ”

Liu Wu was a little curious and said, "There is such a thing?" ”

The passer-by said, "Yes, I also feel very strange. However, the belief system is different in every country. It's also very normal for neighboring countries to do this, after all, wouldn't other countries feel very strange when they look at the myths of our country? ”

Liu Wu nodded and said, "This is also true." The first time I heard the myths of your country, I felt very strange, as if these gods were no different from normal people, while the myths of neighboring countries, although they were all the same as a person and had no specific image, were more mysterious like gods. ”

The passer-by smiled and said, "Yes, but in our world, things like myths and legends are not very important, and everyone is not fanatical, so you should just take it as an anecdote." ”

The gift nodded and said, "I can see that even if I am more confused about your myths or the myths of neighboring countries, there will be no direct consequences, and I will not anger others." ”

The passer-by nodded: "That's right." However, what I know more about mythology is our country and the neighbors next door, and other countries are far away from our country. So I don't know much about their beliefs and myths and legends. ”

Liu Wu smiled: "It's okay, these are enough." ”

Passers-by asked, "So what is the myth of your hometown like as a traveler?" ”

Liu Wu said: "There are no myths and legends in my hometown. If I had to say anything, then I am. ”

Passers-by laughed and said, "Don't brag, alas, but it's not surprising, the world is so big, it's hard to say." ”

Liu Wu nodded and said, "You think about it." Not only the myths and legends, but also the customs and culture of each place can be respected. ”

"Of course, I'm a businessman who travels around and if I can't accept the beliefs and cultures of other regions," said the passerby, "of course, I'm a businessman," said the passerby. ”

Liu Wu nodded: "Your thoughts are the best, I hate that kind of fanatical belief in gods." ”

The passerby said, "I hate it too, but fortunately there are no such people in our country." There are some such people in the neighboring country, but I don't know the specifics, and I rarely deal with them. ”

Liu Wu thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then what is the situation in Wangcheng?" Now that I've traveled to this world, I want to go to the royal city to see it. ”

The passer-by smiled: "Although you can set off with me to the royal city, I don't suggest it." The main reason is that Wangcheng is too far away from here, even if I am fast, it will take two or three months to go back and forth, which is a huge test of physical strength and your money, and Wangcheng is actually no different from our city when you look closely, but it is more prosperous. ”

Liu Wu smiled and said, "Even if you say so, I still want to go and see it, but I won't go with you, you just need to show me the route." ”

Seeing that Liu Wu could not be persuaded to move. The passer-by sighed softly and said: "Okay, everyone has their own choice, since you are a traveler who travels around, then it is understandable to go to the royal city, but the road is very dangerous, you have to be very careful." ”

Liu Wu nodded and replied, "Thank you for reminding me, so can you tell me about Wang Cheng now?" ”

The passer-by laughed and said, "Of course, the royal city is very, very far away from here, but fortunately, a very long road has been built from the royal city here." Follow the road all the way to the royal city. ”

Liu Wu nodded and asked, "So is there anything special about Wangcheng?" ”

The passerby shook his head: "As I said just now, there is nothing special about Wangcheng, it's just more prosperous than here, and everything else is pretty much the same." ”

Liu Wu said: "I see. ”

The passer-by continued: "If you don't have the necessary needs, you still don't need to go, if you have the necessary needs, you can go there, and take a look at the scenery of the royal city by the way, after all, although the royal city is only a little more prosperous than ours." But in many ways it is more convenient than we are. ”

Liu Wu asked with interest: "For example, what is more convenient in Wangcheng than here?" ”

The passerby shook his head and said, "I can't say it, but that's how it feels." ”

Liu Wu said: "What you just said, is the road from this town to the royal city a road to the end? ”

The passer-by replied: "That's right, it's a road to the end, and you can go to the royal city by going to the end from this town, but many people take this road, and it's just a stop on the way." Not many people made it all the way to the royal city from here. ”

Hearing what passers-by said, Liu Wu couldn't help but think about it.

The passer-by saw that Liu Wu stopped talking, and then said: "I don't know what Your Excellency thinks, do you want to go to the royal city or stay?" ”

Liu Wu smiled and said: "I don't have any specific ideas now, I want to collect some legendary myths, but I find that these myths are not very fascinating." ”

Passers-by laughed: "That's how myths and stories are. It is only for the locals that the myths and stories are rich and fascinating, and for outsiders who do not know the local myths, they can only be said to be boring and boring, and they are not interesting at all. Speaking of which, I'm curious about what the myths of your hometown look like? ”

Liu Wu said: "I just said that the god of my hometown is me. You can't believe it, but that's exactly what it is. ”

Passers-by did not refute, after all, Liu Wu had paid.

Liu Wu continued: "So whether it is the myths and legends that you know very well, or the myths and legends that you hearsay, are there any gods among them that make you feel afraid? Or the most powerful god you feel. ”

Liu Wu's words seemed to wake up the passers-by opposite, and he clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Of course there is." I remember that in another country very far away from our country, their mythical god was a man who could do everything from heaven to earth, who created the world, and based on it, he constantly absorbed the power of the world, so that he became stronger and stronger. And the people of this country feel that the purpose of their existence is to provide energy to this god. ”

Liu Wu praised: "It sounds like this thing is quite terrifying. ”

The passer-by said, "Who says it's not!" ”

Liu Wu then asked, "So what about this god now?" Or how about the small country under this god? ”

The passer-by shook his head, sighed, and said, "The situation is very bad. After all, their beliefs are like this, and you still expect them to have any good development, and it is good that they have not been extinct so far. ”

Liu Wu thought for a while and said, "That's right, after I went to Wangcheng, I went to that country to have a look." ”

Passers-by waved their hands again and again and said: "I advise you not to go, they are all a group of extremists, what kind of good people can be who can have this idea, maybe you will be killed and eaten by them when you go there." ”

Liu Wu asked, "Have you ever been to that country?" ”

The passer-by shook his head: "No, I'm just hearsay, that country is so far away from our small town that I can't get to that place in my whole life." I heard about their legends from a merchant in a neighboring country, and this merchant also heard about them from other people's mouths. I don't know how many people have passed through this myth and story, maybe it has changed its taste, maybe the myths and legends of that country are not like this, but they are just spread falsely, and they gradually become outrageous. ”

Liu Wu said: "I can't say it completely, if the belief of that country is indeed like this, it is not impossible, after all, from my point of view, isn't the belief of your country so ridiculous and bizarre?" ”

Seeing that the passer-by didn't speak, Liu Wu continued: "But, then again, if I insist on going to that country, can you show me the way?" ”

The other party thought for a while and nodded and said, "If you insist on this, I can't stop you, although I can't reach that place in my life, but you may be able to." Take people's money to do things for others, and since you gave money, then I will answer your questions. As for the location of that country, I have heard other merchants say, it seems to be among the neighboring countries of the neighboring country, and there are several countries separated from our small town, and you can go to the neighboring country first. ”

Liu Wu replied: "Okay, well, so do you have any clue about the appearance of the people of that country, or the architectural style of their country?" If I had these, I would have been better able to recognize them. ”

The passer-by on the other side thought for a while and said: "Well, I don't have these, after all, this country is just a rumor that I heard when I was chatting, or I heard it from other people, so let's go to the royal city first, and it will take two or three months to go back and forth, during this time, I will help you find out the situation in that country first, and when you come back from the royal city, I will tell you how about it?" ”

Liu Wu shook his head, where did he spend two or three months so much, just for such a trivial matter?

Liu Wu said: "No, I won't tell you, my time is very tight now, and I don't have so much time to spend here, so we have to think of an easier way." ”
