For the Stonemen, every Stoneman has a chance to return to their ancestors. It is just a matter of whether they are willing or not, and how they choose to live their lives.
However, semi-return to ancestors is different. Semi-return to ancestors requires very strong strength and reaches a very high level. Only then can you have the conditions and strength to semi-return to ancestors.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the stone people's semi-revelation is a kind of dust sealing. Of course, this kind of dust sealing is more mysterious than the dust sealing methods of various tribes.
Of course, it is not easy for a strong person from the Stoneman Tribe to wake up again once he has half-returned to his ancestors. Most of the strong people who are half-returned to their ancestors will not wake up easily. After all, once they wake up, they will not be able to wake up again.
It would be even more difficult to return to one's ancestors once and for all, and it might even cost a lot of money.
After Shiwawa paid homage to his elders, he took Li Qiye into his house.
In this village, Shiwawa has become the only person who has not returned to his ancestors. From a human perspective, Shiwawa is the only living person in this village.
Therefore, the house where the stone doll lives is also very simple, with no other things except the necessary things. In such a stone house, although it is deserted, it also looks clean.
After Li Qiye settled down, Shiwawa was busy bringing out delicious food for Li Qiye. After a while, hot rice and marinated meat were served.
"I rarely eat on weekdays, so there is nothing delicious at home." Shiwawa was embarrassed and scratched his head. Li Qiye chose so many stones for him, and he was still very grateful in his heart.
"It's okay." Li Qiye smiled. Even if it was a simple meal, he could still eat it with gusto.
However, Shiwawa had no interest in food. He sat aside with his chin in his hands and looked at Li Qiye with a pair of bright eyes.
"Young Master's ability to distinguish stones is so strong, why don't you become a mason? I think the master stonemasons of those sects are not as good as Young Master." Shiwawa said curiously.
He had seen Li Qiye's ability to pick stones and admired him very much.
"Not interested." Li Qiye smiled, shook his head slightly, and said casually: "That's not my ambition."
"So that's it." Hearing Li Qiye's words, Shiwawa couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said: "The status of the master stonemason is very noble. There were masters of stonemason who came to our weathering canyon before, and they were cheered by each other.
Majestic."
Li Qiye smiled and ate slowly.
After a while, Li Qiye looked at the stone doll and said with a faint smile: "What about you, what are your plans? Are you going to return to your ancestors like the people in your village, or do you have other ideas?"?
"I, I haven't decided yet." Shiwawa was a little shy, scratched his head, and said: "In our Weathering Canyon, everyone actually has two choices, either to go to petrification, or to find someone who is compatible with him and get married.
I haven’t decided yet about having a baby.”
Most of the descendants of the Stone People have embarked on the road to return to their ancestors. However, the Stone People do not prohibit the reproduction of their descendants. Even if their own descendants want to get married and have children and reproduce from generation to generation, if the elders of the Stone People are still alive,
Will still support it.
Just like a village like Stoneman, if he no longer gets married, has children, and reproduces, then his village will be abandoned from now on, unless other stonemen will immigrate here in the future.
Of course, if the stone dolls get married and have children in the future, and their descendants multiply, then the incense of their village will continue.
"What do you think about it?" Li Qiye smiled.
"Well." Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head. He really thought about it seriously. He rarely talked to outsiders. It can be said that Li Qiye was the outsider who talked to him the most.
"Actually, I want to visit the Ancestral City the most." Shiwawa thought for a long time and finally said: "I have never been to the Ancestral City. I heard that it is the imperial city of our Stone People and the root of our Stone People.
,So, I want to go and have a look.”
"This can be a good idea." Li Qiye nodded and agreed, and said: "Only when you look at the outside world will you realize how big the world is."
"Yes." Shiwawa couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly and said: "I heard people say that the ancestral city is very beautiful and mighty. It was there that our Shizu laid the foundation and commanded the world.
"
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile lightly.
Shiwawa was excited as he spoke, and hurriedly said: "There are no rules in our village, nor does it say when I must return to my ancestors. I was thinking that before I return to my ancestors, I must go to the ancestral city to see and walk around.
Let’s go and see the outside world, and then it’s not too late to come back and return to our ancestors.”
Seeing Shiwawa's excited look, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile. This was a very pure idea, as innocent as a child.
"Then have you ever thought about finding a companion?" Li Qiye said jokingly with a smile on his face.
"This, this..." Shi Wawa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a young boy. Although he was said to be a stone human, he always had some daydreams about the future.
"Didn't you go look for it?" Li Qiye was concerned, but also a joke.
"I didn't see anyone who looked the same in the nearby villages." Shiwawa was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say it was difficult to say it, so he said it calmly.
"Maybe if you go outside, you'll find someone you like. Let's go to Ancestral City for a walk." Li Qiye said with a smile: "Ancestral City is a big place, where thousands of people gather, and there will be a girl you like."
"It seems so." Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head. At this time, his eyes couldn't help but light up, his expression became a little more excited, and he had a little yearning for the ancestral city.
"What if you fall in love with someone from another tribe?" Li Qiye couldn't help but joked as the stone doll looked yearning.
"This -" Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, the Stonemen do not mind intermarrying with other races. In fact, there are many Stonemen who intermarry with other races on Stone Plains, and there are even more in the Ancestral City.
However, when the stone people intermarry with other races and have offspring, they have more bonds with themselves. After all, only the stone people can return to their ancestors, and there is no way for the offspring born from intermarriage with other races.
Atavistic.
"If it's really, really like this." Shiwawa hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, let's take a walk first, then, then, let's not return to our ancestors so quickly."
Having said this, Shiwawa couldn't help but hesitate a little, and some were not so sure.
"Go and try it." Li Qiye said encouragingly: "If you haven't experienced it, how can you know the good or the bad? If you haven't experienced it, how can you know the wonderful things in the world? If you are born, you haven't experienced it yet
When you grow up, you start to return to your ancestors, and you suddenly turn into stone and sink into the ground..."
Having said this, Li Qiye paused for a moment: "...then, what is the meaning of your being born in this world? Even if you can live forever, what is the meaning of it? If you have not experienced anything, it is a waste of time for you to come here."
A trip to the world. All things are animated and there are billions of lives. However, not every life is intelligent. The fact that a person can come to the world is a miracle in itself, one in a billion..."
Li Qiye said, looking at the stone doll, and continued: "...Since it is a one-in-a-billion miracle, then don't waste it, don't waste it. Follow your heart and experience what you want to experience.
Things, whether they are good or bad, whether they have results or not. When one day, you can look back at your life and look at it, whether it has no results or bad results, it will make you happy.
People are relieved..."
When he heard this, Shiwawa listened with great interest and was very fascinated. He was completely immersed in what Li Qiye said.
"...The most important thing is that you have experienced it and have it, so that you can look back. If you have never experienced it, and there is not even a bad result, then if you look back, it is just a blank piece of paper.
That's all, nothing." After Li Qiye finished speaking, his words were still echoing in Shiwawa's mind.
After Li Qiye finished speaking, he continued to eat his food, while Shiwawa sat there blankly, in a daze, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
For him, Li Qiye's words were too profound for him. Li Qiye's words directly touched his soul and opened a door for his soul.
For the Stone People, returning to their ancestors is an instinct that every Stone People has from birth. Of course, in the future, some people will choose to return to their ancestors, and some will choose not to return to their ancestors.
However, Shiwawa was born in the Weathering Canyon and grew up in this small world. When he was born, his relatives and elders had all been petrified one by one. They turned into stones one by one and sank into the ground.
.
This kind of life trajectory also affected Shiwawa. Shiwawa didn't have many fantasies about the outside world. The only thing he fantasized about was a trip to his ancestral city.
Now Li Qiye's words like this unknowingly opened a door for him. This was a door to the outside world. Through this door, he seemed to see the outside world.
In the past, Shiwawa wanted to go to the ancestral city, but this was just a thought in his mind and he did not put it into action.
However, now Li Qiye's words made his heart move. He really should go to the ancestral city to see it.
"I understand what the young master means." Shiwawa came back to his senses, his face was filled with excitement and dizziness, and he excitedly said to Li Qiye: "I will definitely go out and have a look, I will definitely go to the ancestral city for a stroll
of."
Li Qiye nodded and smiled.
At this time, a whirring sound came from outside the door, and the sound became louder and louder.
