On the road paved with gravel, Zhou Xu and Li Luoshu walked side by side.
And in front of them was a young man.
He was slightly disappointed.
"Ever since I was little, I thought I could wait for a goddess. I thought I should be a goddess this time, but I still didn't." The young man lowered his head and said.
"Why are you waiting for the goddess? Is there any difficulty here that needs the goddess to rescue?" Zhou Xu asked curiously.
"Yes, but no, the goddess told us before she left that we have to rely on ourselves for everything.
She is not omnipotent and cannot help everyone.
You have to take responsibility for your own affairs." The young man said.
"You are such an authentic god." Zhou Xu didn't know what to say for a while.
He knows many gods, but this is the first time he has seen such a god.
"Do gods still have things like this?" Li Luoshu wondered.
"God? The goddess is just our totem, not a god." The young man said.
Well, this made the two of them not know what to say for a while.
"Then why is your totem not the wooden wolf?" Zhou Xu asked.
"I don't know." The boy replied.
"Then where did your goddess go? Why do you think she will come back?" Zhou Xu asked again.
"Because the goddess said that the vitality of the world cannot be felt here, and she wants to go to the most energetic area in the world." The boy answered.
Zhou Xu and the others felt weird, this goddess seemed really powerful.
I actually know that there is no vitality here, and that's true.
This is a historical relic, and it is normal for it to be lack of vitality.
But it's not easy to leave here.
"What will happen if the goddess comes?" Li Luoshu asked.
Since you have to rely on yourself for everything, there is no need to wait for God to arrive.
"Because our tribe can no longer survive. If the goddess comes, she may be able to show us a clear path." The young man said bitterly.
"Can't you hold on?" Zhou Xu was a little confused.
Although this place looks a little desolate, it doesn't look like it can't hold on.
"Yes, the Territory Lord has already expanded. This is a natural disaster and there is nothing we can do." The young man said dejectedly.
But before Zhou Xu and the others could ask, he immediately said:
"We have overcome many difficulties. If there is no food, we will find a way to cultivate it. If there are no weapons, we will find a way to make it. If there are no medicinal materials, we will find a way to grow them.
We have overcome many difficulties, and our life has changed from the bad days to now having three meals a day and having enough food every time.
There is spring water in summer and thick clothes in winter.
We thought we could live a good life.
But Yu took the initiative, and we couldn't fight it despite all our efforts.
So I hope to find the goddess.
Perhaps the goddess can show us the way."
Zhou Xu was quite surprised that these people's demands were so low.
Falling here is indeed a bit difficult.
I don’t know what is so special about this place.
Then he asked the other party who the Territory Lord was.
He never understood what this meant.
"Region Lord?" The young man thought for a moment and said:
"The domain lord is the domain lord."
"What does it look like?" Zhou Xu asked.
"Just like the domain lord." The young man replied.
"Give me a rough description of the appearance." Li Luo wrote.
"It's pitch black, it's so big, we can't get close to it and we can't stop it. I heard that if we get close, it will be easily swallowed by the domain lord." The young man said seriously and fearfully.
Both Zhou Xu and Li Luoshu were a little confused.
What is this?
"Do you have any rumors here?" Zhou Xu decided to ask what's special here.
"Rumor?" The young man thought for a moment and asked doubtfully:
"What rumors?"
"It's just some rumors about changing the general environment. For example, you were supposed to live in a rich land before, but then it became barren for some reason." Zhou Xu reminded.
"No, we have been struggling to survive in the past, but things have gotten better recently." The young man said seriously.
Zhou Xu was helpless. It seemed that he had to ask someone else.
Li Luoshu looked around and found that this place was extremely vast.
The historical relics seem to be a whole world.
Unbelievable.
Soon they came to a tribe and they built houses under the trees.
Every house has a tree with green leaves.
Some are fruit trees.
The house is not small, but it is just covered by leaves.
"Aren't you afraid of rain?" Zhou Xu asked curiously.
"Just to keep out the rain." The boy replied.
"Then he wasn't struck by lightning?" Zhou Xu asked again.
"What kind of thunder?" The young man was puzzled.
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head without explaining.
Is there no thunder here?
He looked up to the sky.
The sky is blue and all the clouds are there.
Why is there no thunder?
At this time, two young people ran out, and they were a little surprised to see Zhou Xu and others.
But when I saw the boy, I felt more relaxed.
"Amu, what weird things did you bring back again? You keep saying that you will definitely meet the goddess every day. It's all lies." A young man mocked.
At this time, a young girl came out, looked at Amu and said doubtfully:
"Amu, didn't you say today that there will definitely be a goddess?"
"Of course." Amu seemed a little embarrassed and said immediately:
"They are the pioneers of the goddess."
"Yes." Zhou Xu nodded and said seriously:
"The goddess is busy with everything and doesn't have time to come over. We are the goddess's pioneers and can solve most problems."
"Did you hear that? They can solve the problem." Amu said loudly.
"Real or false? Why don't we believe it?" A young man said in disbelief.
"What's true? I'm going to see the clan leader right now. I won't know if the problem can be solved soon?" Amu said.
Zhou Xu nodded and said seriously:
"You underestimate Amu too much. We are here all because of him. Now we are going to see the clan leader. The truth and falsehood will be revealed later."
The others were a little surprised and were stunned for a moment.
Then the three of them entered the tribe.
As soon as he entered, Amu's face dropped, he was finished.
Li Luoshu smiled and comforted:
"Don't worry, sometimes what you say is true."
"Are you really the pioneer of the goddess?" Amu seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
"This is false, but we can indeed solve most of the problems." Li Luoshu said confidently.
Amu didn't believe it.
"I understand you. The situation was urgent just now. Even if you bite the bullet, you have to admit that you can do it." Zhou Xu said seriously:
"I had this mentality when I was a kid, but I soon discovered that I couldn't be like this.
After all, we are from the martial arts world, so there is no need to be familiar with them."
Amu: "???"
"Take us to see the clan leader. After all, you have no choice." Li Luoshu said seriously:
"You want them to come back and tell you, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Do you still have to be tough?"
"Don't be afraid. Just dig a hole and hide when the time comes. The worst thing you can do is hide in the room and not come out, so they won't laugh at you.
Although no woman may fall in love with you in this life, they will fall in love with others and will not end up alone. Don't worry, the worst is that you will end up alone." Zhou Xu encouraged.
"If we really solve the problem, the credit will be yours, and the women in the tribe will worship you, and you can be with whomever you like." Li Luoshu followed.
"Isn't it just that the person you like marries someone else? Isn't it just that you spend the rest of your life in the ridicule of others? Isn't it that you can no longer hold your head up? Don't be afraid." Zhou Xu said seriously.
Amu's expression kept changing when he was told that.
Then he immediately said:
"I'll take you there."
Li Luoshu and Zhou Xu smiled slightly.
Children are so interesting.
After looking around, Li Luoshu found that everyone here was ordinary people.
No one has special powers.
Strange.
Soon they came to a huge tree in the back.
There is also a house here.
"It's inside, but you have to get past the goddess statue before the clan leader." Amu reminded.
At this time, Zhou Xu saw a statue in front of the giant tree.
It is a statue of a woman.
She still looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
She was smiling and her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she had questions.
It's just that the two eyes in the statue don't seem to be the same.
I don't know what's different.
"Why do I feel like I've seen her somewhere?" Zhou Xu was a little confused.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
It stands to reason that such a woman would be easy to recognize, as her temperament is somewhat unusual.
But looking at this face, I really can’t remember it.
After all, the statue is not a photo, so it is very difficult to identify it.
Then he walked over without eliciting any reaction.
The same is true for Li Luoshu.
Does this stuff really work?
"Is this your totem?" Zhou Xu asked.
"Yes, the goddess is our totem and will give us strength." Amu thought for a while and then said:
"But the goddess said that even if the stone statue gives us power, it is the belief accumulated by our ancestors for generations that has played a role in connecting the world.
It has nothing to do with her."
Weekly sequence: "."
This goddess is indeed different.
Boom!
Amu knocked on the door.
"Come in." A confident voice came from inside.
Zhou Xu felt something was wrong. Shouldn't the clan leaders be old people?
Why does it feel like there is a middle-aged man inside?
The three of them walked in, and Zhou Xu saw a strong man sitting on the ground.
For a moment, he thought that this person should be the clan leader's bodyguard.
But looking around, I found that this person was the only one here.
"Are you the clan leader?" Zhou Xu asked in surprise.
"Isn't it similar?" the strong man asked.
The other person is muscular, strong and looks to be in his late twenties.
There is something unusual about this clan leader.
"The patriarch of my imagination is like you." Zhou Xu said seriously.
Li Luoshu glanced at his eldest brother, then nodded:
"My elder brother is right."
"Really?" The patriarch smiled and said:
"Where are you from? It doesn't look like you are from our tribe or from nearby."
"You don't seem too surprised?" Zhou Xu was confused.
"There's nothing surprising, there are always some strange people showing up sometimes.
It is said that our goddess also appeared suddenly." The patriarch made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Xu sat down with Li Luoshu and said:
"We are indeed from somewhere else and are a little curious about this place.
I want to ask about the history of this place. Of course, if we have something to gain, we will definitely help you.
We may be able to deal with that Territory Lord once or twice.
Of course only one or two.
This is my own strength.
But don’t be afraid, I’m not very strong, but I still have a big brother.”
Zhou Xu pointed at Li Luoshu and said:
"This is my eldest brother. He has rich experience in traveling across Kyushu. He will definitely be able to come up with some good ideas."
Li Luoshu said quickly:
"Don't listen to my eldest brother, he just loves to joke with others.
I only talk to him after dinner.
He alone is the true man of God."
Amu stood aside for a moment not knowing what to say.
I can only look at it like this.
At this time, the clan leader looked at Zhou Xu and the two of them, and then said seriously:
"Allow me to ask."
"Asking who?" Zhou Xu was confused.
At this time, the patriarch took out a dice and tossed it in the bowl.
The dice spin.
When Zhou Xu saw the dice stop, it displayed three ancient words: I think it will work.
Zhou Xu looked stunned:
"Are you asking the goddess?"
Isn't it a bit childish to tell fortunes like this?
At least it's a bit of a ritual.
"No." The patriarch shook his head and explained:
"This is the opinion of the old clan leader. As you can see, I am relatively young and it is difficult for me to be qualified for the position of clan leader.
So after the old patriarch died, I made his ashes into dice and asked him for his opinion whenever I made any decisions.
Very clever.
Of course, I asked his opinion beforehand and he agreed."
Zhou Xu and Li Luoshu were stunned on the spot.
this is okay too?
This is the trick, right?
"Just now, the old patriarch thought you were trustworthy, so if you want to know anything, just ask.
Just remember to help our tribe when the time comes." The clan leader said seriously.
"Our intention is to come here to meet people and find people to talk to.
Of course, don’t worry about finding someone, we will do it ourselves.
Now we are curious about whether you have any legends here, and who is your goddess?" Zhou Xu asked a lot of questions.
"Let's start with the goddess. We are familiar with this one." The patriarch thought for a moment and said:
"The goddess is actually a person who suddenly appeared a long time ago.
Our environment at that time was extremely poor. After she appeared, the earth began to show vitality and saved our ancestors.
No matter who she is at that moment, she is our goddess and the totem we worship from generation to generation.
But in the records, the goddess seems to be very talkative and always teaches us principles."
"Did she say her name?" Zhou Xu asked.
"No." The patriarch thought carefully and said:
"It seems that you can't leave your name, which can easily influence her to go back.
After teaching our ancestors to survive, she disappeared.
It looked like it was being thrown out.
This is what the records say, but I don’t know the details.”
"Is that all?" Li Luoshu asked.
"There are others. It is said that after the goddess appeared, the sky suddenly changed, the earth shook, and there was even the wrath of the gods.
There seems to be a voice from the gods, probably saying, how long can you stop us?
Anyway, that's it.
It seemed like the Territory Lord was going to devour us all at that time.
It was just stopped by our goddess.
I don’t know if that’s what I’m talking about.”
"Region Lord?" Li Luoshu felt that this Territory Lord was a little strange:
"What is a Domain Lord?"
"This is very complicated to explain. I will take you there to see it later.
Let’s talk about other things first.
Have you seen the grassland in the sanctuary? That's where the goddess left it when she arrived.
I don’t know why the land where the goddess passed by was filled with vitality, the storms decreased, the heavy rain disappeared, and the sky became clear.
Her greatness and kindness cannot be described in words."
Zhou Xu was a little surprised.
The earth comes to life, the goddess of the earth?
It's impossible at first glance that the Earth Goddess wouldn't come here.
Earth goddess? Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment.
He seemed to remember who the statue he just saw looked like.
Looking at the figure, isn’t that the goddess of wisdom who can only be seen from the back in the river of history?
In other words, the goddess here is most likely the goddess of wisdom?
This surprised Zhou Xu.
The goddess of wisdom in the Age of Gods appeared suddenly, and the goddess of wisdom here also appeared suddenly.
So she doesn’t come from the abyss of the world, right?
