Chapter 63: The Barbarian Physique
Lawrence rearranged the story of Journey to the West to be more suitable for the gods and monsters of the savage human body.
The core of Journey to the West is not important, and resistance is not important, no one rebels because of Journey to the West.
No matter how bad Tang Seng is, it's not right for a monkey to beat him, and there has never been a text or an ancient person who feels that a pedantic teacher is not good for students because of Journey to the West.
Lawrence is a prophet, so it doesn't matter how the monkey jumps, it's just not right to hit the prophet.
It doesn't matter if you rebel against the gods, you can't fight against the king, the prophet can't fight, that's the heart of Lawrence's storytelling.
The main reason for this propaganda is that Lawrence is familiar with this, and it is also necessary to establish a family bucket as soon as possible and complete the genealogy of the Star Church.
The surrender and death of Lofen III made Lawrence aware of the importance of culture.
The surrender of Lofen III to the Southern Kingdom is a sign of lack of self-confidence.
Both the history of the Barbarian Kingdom and the history of the Southern Kingdom show that the Barbarians are a group of losers who migrated from the South.
The history of the barbarians is very long, but there is nothing left behind, at most some bragged heroic legends.
The lack of cultural self-confidence made the Kingdom of Luofen always think that he was a southerner when he returned to the south, and it was a happy thing for the barbarians to return to their homeland.
In addition, if the cultural front is not occupied by itself, it will be occupied by others.
Whatever the West and the South say, the barbarians believe, and the ideas and culture are susceptible.
But if you occupy this first, reconstruct the genealogy by yourself, and come up with a 100,000-year history of the barbarians' gods, then according to the barbarians' poor thinking and brains, it will be difficult to accept new things.
Because of the belief in the god of the stars, everyone has endless food to eat and endless wine to drink, and the family can reunite together without being bullied by outsiders.
But most people don't stop there, and even in the pursuit of savages, it's not important to eat and drink.
They want power, they want a superior experience.
Because of their belief in the god of the stars, their souls can ascend to heaven and live in the palace of the stars as kings, never get sick, never die, and occasionally return to the world to show off their might.
Everyone has bad habits of one kind or another, killing people, setting fires and even eating people, and one day, they will meet the prophets of the stars who are waiting for them and find salvation.
If there is no way to get salvation, then you will be tormented forever and eternally, and you will become a weed for cattle and sheep to eat, and a worm for wild boars to eat, and you will die every day.
Follow the prophet, and along the way, you will get the help of various ancient star fighters, and finally achieve positive results.
Gain fame on earth first, or be rewarded by the prophet, and then become a fighter in heaven after death.
Lawrence, who has learned Western writing, has been out of work lately, telling only a little bit of storytelling during the day, and spending most of the rest of his time reading.
A long time ago, Andrew snatched a lot of books from the West, and these books at the bottom of the box were left for a long time, and only recently were they taken out by Lawrence to read.
The view of the Western church is that people are born sinful, money is the root of all evil, and no one can bring money to the kingdom of God, so it should be handed over to the church for safekeeping.
If a person suffers, then it is he who should suffer, and suffering is atonement, and the lazy person suffers, and this does not require mercy.
Anyone who is disrespectful to the church will surely go to hell and die a miserable death.
Lawrence read a lot of scriptures and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The scriptures of this era are not perfect, and there are not too many versions of the story to improve without the perfection of later generations."
"And the history is too short, it's all churches that have countries first and then have churches."
Lawrence pondered the crucial question of if it was a country with a church first and then a country, then he would have to weigh it more.
The existing nation, and the church that came later, shows that God did not appear in the beginning.
"The people of the church are not aware of this problem, it should be that their original gods were a group of magicians or wizards, and they themselves have powerful supernatural powers, so they do not claim to be servants of God."
"These people thought they were gods from the beginning, so there was a problem with the number of roads in the back."
"You can only deceive the mortals of the lower levels, and you can't get the internal recognition of the transcendent organization, after all, many of them have special powers, and they are prone to extremism after discovering what is going on in their own organization."
"Maybe some people believe that they are gods and think arrogantly, but if they don't have the ability to overwhelm a lifetime, or if they only have the power of deterrence, then it is easy to get out of control."
"It's a pity that there is no chronology of the birth and death of the popes and the timetable of their reigns, but if you know this, it will be easy to judge their abilities, lifespans, and whether they died in assassination."
Lawrence was generally much more relieved after learning about the Western Church in general.
Because of the existence of certain supernatural forces, the church in this world is more accustomed to top-down theories and propaganda, which are full of loopholes.
Moreover, the gods of the West and the gods of the South are not the same thing, and there are some "gods" in each city-state.
During this period, faith was chaotic, and whether or not a group of people could be pulled together depended on who was eloquent, could tell stories, and could obtain land and funds.
Lawrence was thinking about the latest arrangement, and Sophia looked into the room, and quickly walked over.
"Master, everyone is waiting in the church, it's time to talk about today's Journey to the West."
Lawrence looked at the sky, it was already evening.
"Okay, let's go." Lawrence stood up and picked up the wooden water glass.
Stories are told every day before eating, and mainly for little boys and warriors.
These people prefer to listen to stories of gods and monsters, and Lawrence's initial plan is to prevent assassination, and at the same time strengthen ties with the grassroots soldiers and cultivate a group of loyal guards.
After a few days of talking, Lawrence found that the savage children and teenagers were more hungry for spiritual rewards than some food rewards.
Listening to stories is one of the few pastimes they have in addition to their daily workouts and work, and it is also the most anticipated moment of the day.
Lawrence looked at these children and teenagers who were listening intently, as if he had seen himself watching TV as a child.
The spiritual culture of the barbarians is quite barren, and once they are confused by the colorful world of the outside world, they are easy to be captured.
For example, if you go to the temple and look at it in the magnificent jewel glass temple, it is easy to have an inferiority complex.
Barbarians living in harsh environments are not assimilated by the outside world, and Lawrence not only tells stories, but also boosts everyone's self-confidence.
Stories, good food, new houses, clean houses, and a cleaner and healthier body.
Most of the farmers in the West today are emaciated slave laborers, with low height and a lower lifespan than the barbarians.
If the average life expectancy of barbarians is more than thirty years, then those who farm in the West are certainly less than thirty.
In the absence of sanitary conditions on both sides, it was struggle and cold winter that killed the barbarians, and layers of exploitation and slavery killed the farmers in the West.
Doctor? Not on either side.
Hygiene habits? Neither side either.
Farming died early, which was a normal law in the feudal era and the slave era, but the life expectancy of fishing and hunting was higher, that is, there were not many people.
In terms of war, because of the limitation of numbers, Lawrence not only tells stories to establish a complete family tree, but also thinks about how to play tricks with the output of the land every day.
Make the most reasonable use of this barren land.
