Chapter 31: Death by Deformity
Because of the scene that came up, Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an were shocked.
The mentality of the two at the beginning was actually very peaceful, even with some relaxation, because this was similar to the early stage when they explored the Xianxia Sequence World, that is, when the world had not yet become a world, when the Martial Arts Sequence Space was almost the same.
Both are ancient feudal societies, both of them have their own strength, and they both think that even if the investigation fails, nothing else will happen, and the so-called art masters are bold.
But as soon as they came here, the scene that had just happened immediately made the two of them change their mentality, and they realized that this was the material universe, and the material universe was much more dangerous and strange than the dark matter universe of this era, as well as those ordered universes.
So after the two of them cleaned up their minds, they both began to become more cautious, and at the same time, they also used nano armor to fine-tune their appearances, although they did not become the full picture of the intelligent creatures on this planet, but they also began to be roughly similar.
With this change, when the two of them came to the edge of the city, they were already approached by local intelligent beings, and although they still maintained their respect, this attitude was no longer as far away as it was at the beginning, and was more similar to the attitude of the lower social class to the higher social class.
In this way, the two entered the city, looking at the towering city wall, the mottled traces on the city wall, leaving the vicissitudes of history, there were several soldiers guarding and checking at the city gate, and the people who entered the city gate and went out of the city gate were in order, but in the eyes of the two of them, they were a little sluggish.
It's not that kind of false sluggishness, or sluggishness like robots, but the kind of stupidity that resembles people, no sensitive reflexes, or the kind of sluggishness that people are more stupid, in fact, it doesn't seem too abnormal, even if there are such people in humans, it's almost the so-called two stunned, or people who think slower and have slightly lower intelligence.
But here it's all like that, so the whole city looks weird and weird.
There must be something wrong here, Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an both had such an idea, and then they followed the flow of people into the city.
The whole city is also in order, the planning and construction of various buildings is very regular, and the ground is clean and clean, with good sewer planning and construction, except for the pedestrian seems sluggish, the city does not look like an ancient society at all.
In the next seven days, the two began to investigate the city as the center, Lu Yuanming was responsible for going into the people and the bottom, and at the same time running everywhere in the wild and the countryside, he even went to sea from the port to observe the overseas situation in this world.
And Tang Zhe'an is in the rich and noble district of the city, although he does not understand the language of this world, but he has a very high IQ, and he can achieve many purposes without even words, when Lu Yuanming went out to explore the wilderness, he has become a dozen rich and noble families in the rich area, or the guest of the noble squire, not only has a mansion as a residence, but even dozens of servants and seven or eight maids, all of which Lu Yuanming is speechless.
But Tang Zhe'an is not here to enjoy it, let alone what kind of enjoyment is this?
Compared to the convenience and comfort of the high-tech world, it is simply a sin to suffer in such a modern world.
Tang Zhe'an took advantage of this convenience, he began to read a large number of books, as well as learn the language and writing of the intelligent creatures in this world, while he was studying, he also began to record these text books with nano mechas, and in seven days, he recorded almost more than 2,000 books, which is almost more than half of the books in this city.
The writing of this world is also a square word, but it is completely different from Chinese, more similar to the combination of square script and oracle bone script, especially similar to Chinese, the same word not only has different pronunciation in different environments, but also has different meanings, and it is extremely difficult to learn and translate, even with Tang Zhe'an's wisdom.
However, in seven days, the two of them were not without gains, and they had generally understood the reason for the scene outside the city.
The people of this world have a very peculiar sense of reverence and religious rituals about death.
They believe that death is a strange kind of reincarnation, and that the spirituality of life will be transferred from one medium to another, and that the spirituality of life will always continue to "decline" in this process, so that the offspring of life will always become lower and lower, and the only solution is to let the higher beings kill the lower beings with their own hands, and wash away the karma of the lower beings, so that their spirituality will jump to the higher levels again.
This is also the reason for the scene that Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an encountered outside the city.
And this world distinguishes between low and high, that is, by looking at its appearance, its shape, skin, eyes, wisdom, etc., its description is almost the same as Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an before the modification.
In fact, the two learned that there were people like Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an in the wilderness, who were called "saints", who were extremely rare holy people who had never carried original sin, and who practiced asceticism in the wilderness and were the purest beings.
The rites of death in this world are not earth burials, cremation and water burials, but the carrying of people over the age of fifty to the wilderness in a shrine, where they will not eat or drink until they die, praying that they will meet the Holy One before they die, and then the Holy One will end their lives, so that their spirituality can be leaped, and if they can meet the Holy One in the middle, then this is the greatest reward for them.
Their relatives will humbly fall to their knees, hand the instrument of liberation (weapon) to the Holy One, and pray that the Holy One will perform the death ritual for their elder, which will be the highest ritual, and after the Holy One kills their elder, the relatives will rejoice and give thanks to the Holy One with all their wealth.
Even the etiquette of this world is very strange, and the highest etiquette of the lower class to the upper class is to hand out a knife-like weapon, which means that the other party can perform the spiritual leap when he dies for him.
It's a very peculiar world of worship and fear of death.
Moreover, the two also found that there is a very obvious blood sacrifice and human sacrifice ritual in religious ceremonies.
Taoism and Buddhism, which were originally peaceful, play a very terrifying duty in this world, that is, they are used to kill, and it is a large-scale, long-term killing.
This is not to please any gods, very peculiar, the intelligent beings of this world do not believe in any gods, and the duty of the two religions is not to please the gods, but to be able to cleanse their karma or sins, so that their spirituality can be improved, and at the same time, their sinful flesh and blood are used to feed evil spirits, so as to achieve a balance between life and death.
Devil......
Deformed species!
This is the situation that Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an investigated.
Underneath the religious sites of Taoism and Buddhism, there are countless humanoids, most of which are very deformed, two heads, three heads, a few hands, or like a horror movie, the kind modified by mad scientists, these are actually quite good, at least they can be seen about humanoid, and some are directly distorted to the point that they don't even have a human form, like a monster in a Cthulhu horror story, the visceral bones are mixed together, and the whole horror monster is a monster.
There are many such monsters, in the underground of the two major religious occasions, the underground of the urban sewers, and even the underground of some caves in the wild, the number of these monsters is at least thousands, and it is said that all of them are spiritually free flesh and blood born of lowly people, and these flesh and blood will gradually grow into similar evil ghosts, and religious places are the places where these evil ghosts are suppressed.
As for why not kill them?
The intelligent creatures of this world also have a saying, that is, these evil ghosts actually bear people's karma, although they are evil ghosts, but they are innocent, so they can not kill as much as possible, and except for the rich and powerful people who can carry the shrine to the wild to find the saint to try their luck, and use gold to invite the saint, most people's choice is actually to give their flesh to religious occasions, and then the evil spirits devour their flesh, so as to avoid spiritual degradation.
In short, according to the information found by Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an, the world is completely wrong from the inside out, from the orderly order of the entire society, to the sluggish intelligence of the vast majority of people, to the so-called "evil ghosts" of fertility, and the deformed and terrifying death worship......
All of this is like a line connected together, but Lu Yuanming can't see it, he only feels hazy and vague, and there is a sense of paradox, he also asked Tang Zhe'an, but Tang Zhe'an shook his head with a cold face, and it was extremely rare that he didn't tell the reason for everything here.
In this way, seven days passed quickly, Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an were about to leave the planet, and then go to pick up the other eight intelligence officers, and then just as he was about to fly out of the atmosphere, an extremely vague and hazy voice sounded in his mind.
“…… Other...... Walk...... Save ......"
Lu Yuanming stopped abruptly, he looked into the atmosphere, and Tang Zhe'an asked, "What's wrong?" ”
“…… Just now, I seemed to hear something. Lu Yuanming said hesitantly.
Tang Zhe'an looked into the atmosphere suspiciously, and he thought for a while: "Can you still hear that voice now?" ”
Lu Yuanming shook his head: "No, it's very vague, it seems that many people are talking at the same time, but it seems to be a distraction in my own heart...... In short, I'm not sure either. ”
Tang Zhe'an frowned and pondered, and then said: "I didn't continue to speak, and I didn't confirm the direction, so let's go back first, we have collected so many books this time, and there must be very important information in them, whether it is their peculiar death worship, or their deformed religious beliefs, as well as the so-called birth of evil ghosts, and the mentally handicapped of the whole people...... I think there must be a very important factor in it, and all of these have to go back to be able to be analyzed, let's go. ”
Lu Yuanming took Tang Zhe'an and went straight to the rest of the planets.
There were no further twists and turns in the middle of the way, and the rest of the intelligence personnel were all safe, and at that moment he took nine people to leave the range of the nine planets at near the speed of light, thinking about the return of the mothership Blue Star.
It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, when he entered the speed of near light, there seemed to be an obvious sigh in his mind again, and this sigh was so desperate that he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
When everyone returned to the Blue Star, the high-level government and military leaders on the Blue Star were already looking forward to it, and when they saw that Lu Yuanming and the others were all safe and sound, everyone was relieved, and then all the people present applauded.
Lu Yuanming and Tang Zhe'an didn't talk about it, the other eight intelligence officers all collected a lot of intelligence information, including part of the flesh and blood of these races, including the plants, fresh water, air, and soil of the eight planets, as well as local social information, death worship, and the deformed so-called "evil ghosts", etc., among them, three intelligence officers ventured into the underground and collected the flesh and blood of three different evil ghosts.
Of course, there is also a lot of information on the nine planets, such as books, texts, and religious texts, and there are more than 10,000 books in total.
At present, it is naturally busy in many ways, testing the air, fresh water, bacteria and microorganisms of the nine planets, as well as plant testing, gene sequencing, as well as gene sequencing of the flesh and blood of local intelligent creatures, genetic sequencing of evil spirits, as well as the analysis and translation of texts, the translation of the content of books and religious classics, and so on......
All this is naturally not worrying about Lu Yuanming.
Although these seven days are not long, but since he saw the terrible death cult, Lu Yuanming's psychological pressure has actually been very high, and when he returned home all of a sudden, he could naturally take a little rest.
After confirming that everything was fine, he returned home, took a hot shower, and didn't even look at the Internet and mobile phone, just lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Then there was a haze, and Lu Yuanming seemed to have fallen asleep......
“…… Life is scattered like the wind, like water passing away, and you really don't have to grieve for me. ”
Lu Yuanming sat cross-legged inexplicably, he looked around and ahead, there were all some people sitting cross-legged, all with their hands folded, and there were tears in their eyes, even him.
The most peculiar thing is that everyone is sitting on something that resembles a lotus platform, but this thing is composed of white light, and in front of him and everyone, there is a bald giant about 100 meters high, uh, giant Buddha?
This person is wearing a golden-red robe, bald head, slightly chubby, earlobes and shoulders, and a ring scar on his head.
The Buddha smiled kindly and said, "Life, it is really the most wonderful place in this universe, it is so fragile and weak, but it is so tenacious and strong, before the beginning of this golden age, all the future we can imagine is terrifying and dark, but who knows that these weak descendants can create such a glorious era?" ”
"What a beautiful era full of golden glow."
On the lotus platform to the left near the Buddha, a figure said, "My Buddha, but didn't you say that this era is coming to an end?" Will this go to ruin? ”
"Did I say that?"
The Buddha scratched his bald head, then laughed and said, "Yes, I seem to have said that, but ...... This has also created hope. ”
On the lotus platform on the right, which is closest to the Buddha, another figure said, "But if you die, what will happen to us?" What does the future hold? According to the supercomputer system we have created, the future will be the Silver Age, horror, dead silence, the entire universe is filled with the curse of silver, under the pressure of sterilization, biological aberrations, mechanical puppets, and cannibalism, especially we, the golden descendants, will become the flesh and blood that they breed and slaughter...... Such a future is hopeless! ”
The Buddha sighed, he reached out and gently stroked the head of the person on his right and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I said, life is so wonderful, you will always find a way out of the future......
"What do you say? Lu Yuanming......"
Lu Yuanming was shocked, and then he found himself stuffed into a glass vessel, then into a cultivation chamber, and then into countless of him, which he was slaughtered every once in a while, and the rest of him was struggling and begging.
And across from him, he was slaughtered by a terrifying being with a silver weapon, a half-machine, half-deformed demon, but this terrifying being...... It seemed to be weeping, crying blood and tears, and slaughtering him with its weapon......
Lu Yuanming knew that he should be angry, roar, and kill......
But an inexplicable sense of compassion enveloped him.
"Flowers bloom again, and people are no longer young...... Think clearly, Lu Yuanming, think clearly......"
"Why is the Golden Age a Golden Age and Why is the Golden Race a Golden Race......"
"Think ...... Clearly"
Lu Yuanming jumped up from the bed, he looked left and right, and confirmed that he was indeed in the room, and he was standing on the bed.
The scene just now was so clear that he mistakenly thought it wasn't a dream......
At this time, Lu Yuanming found that there were a lot of things on his mobile phone, so he quickly glanced at them, and then immediately dressed and jumped up, and ran in the direction of the government building.
The Nine Star text has been translated, and important information has been found in those religious texts!
