Before leaving Stone City, Hao Ren curiously asked Geisel about this ancient city: "Do you know what these ruins are about?"
Based on Geisel's visit to the ruins to perform rituals, he judged that this ancient city should have special significance to the indigenous people of this world. However, since the city and population were there, he could not understand Geisel's tribe.
Why did people abandon this majestic and solid city and choose the hard nomadic life? Perhaps it was the climate change in the underground world that caused the humans in this place to make a living as nomads, but he still wanted to hear Geisel's explanation.
Geisel's first reaction after hearing this question was a little strange: "The goddess should know everything, why are you asking about the ancient capital?"
He still firmly believes that Vivian is the "goddess" who created everything in the world and is omniscient, so he feels baffled by many of the questions Hao Ren asked him: This tribal warrior believes that the person standing next to the goddess should also be omniscient.
I don’t know.
This is a tricky question. It might be difficult to explain the origins of a group of people and destroy the trust that has been built up so easily. But Vivian came to the rescue by speaking out: "God's way of observing the world is different from yours."
, you can tell us about the changes in this world based on human understanding."
What she said was so enigmatic and filled with a feeling of being otherworldly that Hao Ren couldn't help but glance at her, using Horleta grammar?"
Vivian smiled softly: "Do you think you are the pretentious guy you know? Those old guys talked like this ten thousand years ago."
Geisel believed deeply in what Vivian said, and immediately heard the "greatness of God" from it, so he pointed to the collapsed megalithic buildings around him and introduced: "This is the sacred ancient capital of Dorasil.
Before the end of the Sun Dynasty, this great city was dedicated to the Holy Spirit of the Goddess, and this Holy Spirit is still echoing in the shadow of Dorasil until now. The Goddess came here in person today to check on the condition of the Holy Spirit?"
"You ask me who I'm asking," Vivian waved her hand subconsciously, and then coughed twice, "Ahem. I mean you shouldn't speculate on God's thoughts. I told you that my way of observing the world is different from yours.
Look, I even have a doppelganger."
As Vivian spoke, she dragged Hesiana forward and pressed her head hard to make her nod, convincing her with reason and evidence.
"Why was this city abandoned?" Hao Ren asked curiously, "What happened to the Sun Dynasty?"
"After the sky closed, the Sun Dynasty followed the teachings of the goddess and ended an era," Geisel said without thinking as if reciting a text. Obviously, he had studied these sentences for many years. "Now is the 'Emerald Chronicle', the greatest
The most peaceful era."
"The sky closes...the emerald year..." Hao Ren looked thoughtfully at the black "crust" behind the clouds in the sky. Obviously, the natives of this world vaguely knew how the eldest son sealed the planet with a canopy, but that period of history
It has been wrongly twisted into a myth, and the growth activity of the eldest son has been said to be a miracle of the goddess closing the sky. It is probably impossible to ask Geisel about the true history, "Do you know what is on the sky?"
Geisel's face suddenly showed a serious and fearful look: "That is the place where the goddess exiled sinners. No one has ever dared to cross it."
"The sky is sinful?" Hesiana couldn't help but be surprised, "What about the underground?"
Geisel looked honest: "The glory of the goddess lies underground."
Hesiana twitched her lips: "The myths and legends of this planet are really weird, but they are in line with the vampire world view. I don't like the sky either, so living in a cave is quite comfortable."
Vivian looked away with an embarrassed expression: "It's all the fault left to this child when he had no money to live in a house and lived in a cave all day long."
"Ahem. Think about the scene of another layer of earth's crust above your head, and I agree with Geisel's statement," Hao Ren coughed dryly, interrupting Vivian's retelling of her suffering history, and then noticed that everyone had walked out of the "Ancient King's Capital"
"Rasiel" wall and the vast expanse of prairie spread out in front of us. However, in this direction, we can see neither the shadow of the tribe stationed nor the vehicles that can be ridden. "Gesel, the tribe you mentioned
Where is the gathering place?”
"Toward that direction," Geisel stretched out his hand and pointed to the giant tree at the end of the horizon, "at the foot of the Pillar of Eternity. My people stayed there for a while, and we waited for the arrival of the second Moon of Flowing Wind.
Under the guidance of the wind, we perform worship rituals with other tribes.”
Hao Ren glanced at the majestic black pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Let me go...how did you get here? Riding a horse?"
"Come here." Geisel smiled proudly, and the lines painted with oil on his face began to bloom. "It took many days. The envoys who were ordered to light incense could not ride animals into Dorasil. We had to come on foot.
, otherwise the ancestors will not respond to the call after lighting the incense.”
Hao Ren still needed some reasoning in his mind to understand the religious words mentioned by Geisel. The "incense" the other party mentioned should be the herbs that were lit on the stone platform before, and this warrior seemed to be here today.
It is "unsealing" or a precursor to another more important religious ceremony in the future. People in this world follow strict religious rules, although it is not clear how they interpret the existence of the "Creation Goddess".
, but there is no doubt that their religious beliefs are quite high.
Even if the world is turned upside down, even if they become refugees living in space debris in another world, their faith in the goddess remains the same.
"It won't take a day or two to get there," Hao Ren stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. "By the way, your taboo only said that you can't ride animals into the capital, but it didn't say what requirements you have when you go back.
?”
Geisel nodded in confusion.
Hao Ren threw his private car out of the portable space: "That's it, get in the car!"
After Geisel was stunned for a moment, he decided to regard this as a miracle.
Hao Ren's BMW horse has nothing to say about its performance except for its rather clumsy appearance. It can basically do anything except turning into Optimus Prime on the spot. He is still on the road with the mentality of paying a little attention to the surrounding scenery.
, it didn’t take long to arrive at the foot of the giant tree. He drove the car up a hill near the giant tree (the hill itself was the root of one of the giant trees exposed above the ground.
part), looking down from here, he saw Geisel's tribe.
In the valley between the two mountain ridges, there is a gurgling creek running through the valley bottom. The creek flows from the roots of the giant trees and extends deep into the grassland. On both sides of the creek, you can see a large number of scattered huts.
It is an oval-shaped house like a tent, covered with thick straw mats and animal skins. There are many wooden poles inserted around the house, and blue and green decorative cloth strips are tied to the wooden poles. It looks primitive and simple.
, but with an indescribable harmony and beauty. This is the settlement of the "Hanuk Tribe of the West Wind", which is said to be one of the largest tribes in the world.
However, judging from the size and number of buildings, the population of this "largest tribe" probably does not exceed one or two thousand people. In Hao Ren's view, this is almost a dangerous signal: How many humans are left in the world?
But the people of Geisel would not be as worried about these distant and misty things as Hao Ren. The settlement in the valley seemed peaceful and peaceful. The men, women, old and children walking among the houses all had indifferent expressions, and there were still people downstream of the settlement.
A large number of strange livestock could be seen drinking water: they were valuable assets of the settlement. The probes sent out by Hao Ren also found wild animals similar to those livestock in other parts of the grassland, but it was obvious that they had not been domesticated.
Lily stared at the quiet and peaceful herdsmen tribe in the valley, and then suddenly looked up at the black rock top behind the clouds: If she didn't do this, she might forget what kind of place this was.
Geisel had just recovered from the lightning-fast gallop. He didn't expect to see the settlement so quickly, so he couldn't help but pat his cheeks and try to get himself back into shape. Then he looked excited and uneasy.
He looked at Hao Ren and Vivian: "I don't know how to inform the elders about the arrival of the goddess... Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Vivian only learned a few pretentious words from her old friends. She didn't know anything else, so she subconsciously poked Hao Ren on the arm: "Explain it, you are more or less a pope."
Hao Ren frowned, looked at Vivian and Hessiana, and nodded slightly to Geisel: "Just say that the goddess brought her trumpet to earth for a private visit..."
Then he looked at the others: "Well, we also brought a working group with us."
Lily secretly poked Vivian's lower back and whispered: "Bat, do you really think it's reliable to let the landlord arrange this?"
Vivian gritted her molars: "I'm regretting it!" (To be continued.)
