The chorus of songs drowned out the sound of the rushing water. There was no war or sadness in the songs, only the yearning for a better life. The people of the Zhou tribe were singing the songs left by the ancient emperor, which were the songs that had been recorded in the Luoshui Dam. When it was completed, everyone sang "Nine Abyss".
When the mountains and rivers were opened up, and when the voices of the human race resounded through the sky, everything began to be renewed. The singing came with a lot of pride and pride that made the hearts of Xuan Houdu throb.
A person who has obtained the Great Road will not be shaken by external things. He will come out when the world needs him, and he will retreat when the world does not need him. Although the water flow changes countless times in a day, no matter how ferocious the flood is, it will not be able to shake him.
"When I was a child, the climate between heaven and earth was not so warm. In winter, you can see overwhelming heavy snow. Cattle and sheep died in this harsh wrath of heaven and earth, followed by moving ice water and ice. The water gradually turned into a flood, so the tribe continued to migrate around the Yushan Mountain for a long time..."
"The king of the Western Wilderness is actually nothing more than that. We are afraid of many people. The three tribes of Kunlun covet the throne of the Western Wilderness. From time to time, they will launch wars against us. When they can defeat us, they will come and plunder. When they cannot defeat us, they will come and plunder. Just run away from afar to show your surrender. The little dragon in the quicksand lurks day and night, and the wolf on the grassland licks its wounds. God will not save us, and we have to bear the pain and difficulties ourselves."
“My mother told me when I was little that the dead would return to the stars, but when I looked up at the stars, all I could see was a cold and unfamiliar light.”
"I like to see the sun, in the winter wilderness, when the big moon disappears, when the sun rises in the east, trying to poke its head out from the deep cracks in the valley... As soon as it raises its head, the warm power spreads all over the earth. With the mountains.”
"In the wilderness, there is a matter of sacrificing to the sun god. When welcoming the sun god, one has to kill three cows to receive him respectfully. When sending the sun god off, three cows have to be slaughtered and sent out respectfully. "
“This is what a meaningless sacrificial act is like. In fact, without the sacrifice of cattle, the sun and moon will rise in the east and set in the west as usual.”
Xuanhou rarely speaks so many words, because she has a problem with her voice, and now her tone is excessively hoarse.
She pinched her throat and continued: "Kuafu chased the sun and finally moved to the west of Jishi Mountain. They still didn't see where the sun set. Instead, they started to sacrifice to it because they were afraid of the sun..."
"How could this be so? How can one blindly admire the power of heaven and yearn for it, compared with controlling it as an animal? The real sun has its own trajectory, right?"
"Those things pretending to be the sun are just gods and strange beasts, so without them, we can actually live better! In the past, the emperor ordered Dayi to shoot the sun, and nine of the suns in the sky were shot down, but they were nothing.
It’s just nine golden crows..."
Xuanhou panted and sat down tiredly.
“Do you think totems will die?”
Yu Zai thought for a moment and said to her: "It should happen, but it will not really disappear, because although people will have more lofty spiritual sustenance as their lives improve, the existence of totems
The real meaning is its humanistic spirit, not the gods residing in it."
"The ancients worshiped totems, first of all because of blood ties. Only relatives will have the same totem. If we speak the same language, use the same symbols, and worship the same totems, then our ancestors are also the same.
."
“Tribes that worship bears want the strength of bears, tribes that worship tigers want the courage of tigers, tribes that worship fish want fertile fishing and hunting grounds, tribes that worship sticks and axes like war and plunder.”
“This is the most primitive and fundamental spirit. All behaviors, sacrifices, divination, songs, sculptures, characters, languages, and pictures that extend from these spirits belong to their unique culture.”
"But these humanistic spirits are also given by people. First of all, there must be a person."
Marquis Xuan was very curious about what he heard and listened intently. Zuzai continued: "It's like divination. If the spirit in the totem doesn't know the answer, then you can pray to God. But will God really respond?
, of course they are all lies.”
"Wizards all know that it is a lie, and the same applies to the annual agricultural divination. In fact, when the Yang Qi accumulates enough, the earth Qi begins to move, the house star appears in the south sky in the mid-morning, and the sun and moon appear in the camp, then the land
Then it can be cultivated.”
When Yuzai said this, Marquis Xuan also started to laugh.
That's right, the three stars of heaven, earth, sun and sky will not respond to the world. They are just ruthless "rotating machines".
Neither affection nor oracles, nor Caesar.

However, it is rather mysterious to be able to communicate with Qi Practitioners and give them strength, but Yan Zai does not want to think too much about this issue.
Just skip it.
Yuzai looked at the sky and said to Marquis Xuan, "It's going to rain."
The latter was very surprised. She looked at the sky again, and the weather still looked very good, and Yu Zai said: "At the turn of spring and summer, before the showers arrive, there are no clouds in the sky, and the temperature has already risen.
Already."
Showers, not thunderstorms.
The Marquis of Tuan didn't believe it, but he still followed Suzai. Soon, people on the land were all wearing raincoats, and not long after that, it suddenly started raining in the sky.
Yuzai pointed into the distance:
“This is a shower, which rainmakers call showers. They come in short bursts and leave in a hurry, because strong winds blow the rain from far away.”
“The change in the weather is amazing, isn’t it? Maybe this rain cloud is coming from your hometown.”
Zhou Hou was amazed at the arrival of the rain. There was a haze of water vapor between the sky and the earth. The heavy rain lasted for a short time and soon dissipated. The light in the sky appeared again, and the brilliance of the sun fell on the green rice seedlings in the world.
“People cannot control the sky like an animal, nor can they pray to the sky in vain, but they can summarize some rules from the changes in the sky, use these rules to live a better life, and act in accordance with the weather.”
"When you were in the construction team before, you saw some people writing something... Those things are records of changes in the celestial phenomena and the progress of the construction project. They are recorded for repeated viewing and left for
The experience of future generations.”
Yu Zai's tone became serious and solemn, and he said to Marquis Xuan: "It is something that must be left to future generations. If these things are summarized and edited, accumulated and organized, they will become history books. Let future generations know what we have done."
What did you get, what did you gain, and what did you leave behind.”
"Because we live for our predecessors, for future generations, and even more for ourselves, we feel very tired and miserable. If you give up everything and hide and live, you can still live well, so silently
