This word first appeared in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ancient glyph consists of "shi" which means altar and "shen" which means thunder and lightning. Judging from this glyph interpretation, "god" in the ancient people's consciousness should generally refer to all great things.
The force of nature that cannot be competed with.
But later, with the prosperity of civilization, God in people's consciousness began to be concrete and visualized.
At this time, "god" has become the embodiment of spiritual and ethereal gods. It is extraordinary! It is still powerful and cannot be competed with!
In my impression, there are fundamental differences in the understanding of "god" between the East and the West.
Western gods are often aloof figures. Even though they are divided into good and evil, mortals cannot compete with them.
The gods in the East are just the opposite. Rather than being gods, they are more like extraordinary people who can do things that ordinary people cannot. Therefore, in the eyes of Eastern people, even gods must respect mortals, otherwise, even if they are killed
Jiuchongtian also needs to fight to find out.
Therefore, even though I am half oriental in blood, I don’t think I should admit defeat in front of “gods”.
But……
As time passes.
When the island was covered with my corpses, I began to realize that what I was trying to fight against might be some kind of joke in the eyes of this "god".
Every time I fought until I was exhausted and fell down and woke up again, the island would be restored to its original state, except for the pale ancient tree that was withering day by day.
I don't know if I can leave this Asura hell. I'm just filled with the desire to live and refuse to be extinguished, so I kill myself or be killed by myself again and again.
Finally one day came, I dropped the knife and allowed myself to be stabbed in the heart by a short knife.
I asked him: "Do you really know what you are doing?"
He shook his head, with a hint of panic in his confusion.
I laughed: "If you kill me, you won't survive long. In the end, we will still be trapped here, trapped in this purgatory."
He didn't say anything, and I fell down when the knife was pulled out.
This time, I deliberately fell down very simply, without resisting, and just lay on the ground quietly.
Looking sideways at the lake in the darkness, it seemed like a light was shining on it.
The victor stood beside me, he raised his hands to cover his eyes.
The light is getting brighter and closer.
Finally, I heard a shout, followed by gunshots!
…
They caught me.
I was tied up like a fish that couldn't swim and thrown into the boat.
These people were dressed in weird clothes, and the weapons they were holding were things I had never seen before, especially one of them, a man who looked like a warrior in black clothes and black armor. He was two meters tall, with a slender figure and a slender steel sword.
, as soon as they landed, they ordered the ancient tree to be cut down.
His men were dressed similarly to him, but were obviously smaller in size.
I was still on the deck with my mouth gagged, nervously watching the people on the ship and worrying that they would find Yu Jin.
…
"How many false gods are there in the place of origin? Where are the old gods you mentioned?" A girl with short hair came to the deck. After taking one look at me, she sternly asked a man in black who seemed to be the leader.
"Miss Wang, don't be so anxious. If the "Dead Sea Script" we found is not a fake, then as long as all the false gods in this place are killed according to the last agreed mark, the old god Yasin will naturally show up. When the time comes, you, as the third
A mortal who witnesses the old gods will surely leave his name in history." The leader's voice and tone were indescribably greasy and vulgar.
The short-haired girl called Miss Wang looks to be in her twenties, and her dress is quite normal.
After receiving such a reply again, she snorted coldly and said: "It's best this way!"
The leader smiled, and then called to the people on the shore: "Okay, don't waste time, quickly look at this tree, find the false god and kill it!"
‘False gods? What false gods? Can mortals kill gods?’ I was full of doubts.
At this moment, Miss Wang walked up to me, took a look at me, and asked the leader: "What's going on with this person?"
Upon hearing this, the leader came over and said with a smile: "Human? Miss Wang, this thing is no longer a human. His bit of humanity has long been completely contaminated."
‘What?! What kind of humanity has been completely polluted?’ I looked at them blankly after hearing this.
After hearing this, Miss Wang frowned: "Then why did you fish him out? Is it because you are trying to disgust me?"
'Disgusting?!' I was dumbfounded, and there was a burst of disgust and anger in my heart. At this time, I felt like a plagued animal. In the eyes of these people, I was just a stinking mess.
Rotten meat.
For a moment, anger overwhelmed my mind, and I had the strength to break the rope without knowing where it came from.
When I broke the rope, I was stunned, and so were they.
Especially that Miss Wang, she immediately pulled out the pistol from her waist and shot at me after a brief moment of confusion.
The bullet penetrated my chest, but I didn't feel the pain at all.
I was completely irritated, so I stepped forward and punched Miss Wang.
The fierce punch frightened Miss Wang, but when I saw her fear, I became inexplicably excited, and there was no trace of pity or intolerance in my heart.
It was too late and then it was too late. Just when Miss Wang's pretty face was about to be deformed by my punch, the leader made a move.
His black armor lit up with a light blue light, and then I was kicked out of my body by him.
I hit the fence so hard that I felt like several ribs were broken.
But the pain didn't calm me down, instead I became even more furious.
When the people on the boat saw me charging towards Miss Wang like a wild beast, they all rushed to stop me.
Faced with the siege of many black-armored guards, I was quickly defeated.
Ten minutes later, when I killed the third black-armored guard, my body was also torn apart by a ball of light.
Finally, I couldn't cause any more killings and I slowly calmed down, but I didn't die.
I can still feel the beating of my heart, and my consciousness is extremely clear.
Ms. Wang's hair was messy at this time. The sudden situation just now left her with lingering fears. The leader's helmet was also crushed by me during the battle, and now the wound on his head is still bleeding.
"Damn it! I didn't expect this guy to evolve to such an extreme degree! He actually killed three of me! Bah!" The leader spat at me angrily, then he took out his gun and shot me three times in the heart.
I could feel the pain, but I still didn't die.
Even though blood flowed freely and the island was almost dyed red, I still did not die... The terrifying vitality still lingered in my body, turning me into a monster that could not sense death.
Seeing this scene, Miss Wang's expression became serious.
When the leader saw that I was still looking at him, and that one eye in the bloody head was still full of doubts, he became as angry as I was before.
"Fuck! Get the big guy!"
Big guy? Haha... I suddenly want to laugh...
Maybe it’s because I never dreamed that I couldn’t even die?
The "big thing" the leader asked for was actually just a chocolate-sized ball. He carefully took it out of the sealed box and stuffed it into my heart.
I could feel the foreign object, which made me very uncomfortable, so I started to struggle.
The broken arm is slowly regenerating, and the blasted chest is also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened.
The leader immediately covered Miss Wang and retreated, but Miss Wang suddenly said: "Wait! Could this be the old god 'Yasin' we are looking for!?"
The leader said: "Whether it is alive or not, it will be another fierce battle when it recovers! Anyway, let's go back to the ship now!"
The old god "Yasin"?
Is this the "it" that the old man and Xiaodouzi mentioned?
But who are these people?
Why are they here? What are they hunting? What are they looking for?
The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more I think about it, the more questions I have.
Finally, when I sat up, my chest was still healing, but the foreign object was still in my body. I wanted to take it out, but I couldn't tear open my chest.
Just when I was panicking, I saw the leader's slightly mocking sneer. He waved to me as if to say goodbye, and then...
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"
…
This may be the closest I've ever been to death.
The previous time was when my friends and I encountered drug traffickers on the Yunnan border.
Even after more than a century, drugs still cannot be completely banned.
It was raining heavily that day, and my friend and I found a family in a mountain col after having been without food for three days.
We originally thought that the enthusiastic head of the household was our benefactor, but we never expected that after feeding us, they planned to break our legs and replace them with medical prostheses that could hide drugs.
I watched my friend being tortured to death, and then I took advantage of their quarrel to escape into the mountains.
This is true and belongs to my memory.
When I, as my brother, was blown to pieces by those mysterious god-killers, my consciousness regained freedom.
I began to sort out and think about everything I had experienced.
Now I have basically figured out the identities of these two brothers.
They are the founders of the Shimizu family business empire that now plays a decisive role worldwide.
It’s just that in my impression, the person who survived to leave China and started the business of the Shimizu family was his younger brother Shimizu Yujin, not his older brother Shimizu Narimitsu, who has ordinary Chinese ancestry. And to the outside world, although Shimizu Yujin did not explain that he and his brother were in China at that time
However, most people know that Shimizu Yujin was able to survive because of the help of his brother Shimizu Narimitsu and that mysterious old man.
That means that as a brother, I am destined to die here.
What puzzles me is why Qingshui Yujin said that it was the old Taoist who took him in, not the old monk?
This seemingly intentional and unintentional "error" made me a little concerned.
In addition to these, what worries me even more is that everything they experienced in China was obviously not as simple as the stories described in the external stories.
The Shimizu family has been involved in politics for generations, and Shimizu Chengmitsu's father's generation even gave up politics and became a doctor. Such a family that has not had a business lineage for generations suddenly became enlightened in Shimizu Yujin's generation?
Moreover...the rise of the Shimizu family's business empire did not rely on the accumulation of original capital, but on pioneering and even revolutionary core technological innovations.
Especially in terms of biomedicine, the cultivation of edible algae varieties and the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, the Shimizu family is unique and there is no one in the world who can compare with it.
Although in the eyes of most people, including myself, the Shimizu family has attracted top talents from all over the world by building a benign talent ecological environment, it is not surprising to have such an achievement.
But now that I think about it carefully, I shudder.
Someone once made such a statistic.
There may still be some people in extremely poor areas who have never drank Coca-Cola, but the "Senacillin Capsules" produced by Qingshui Family have become the gospel of God blessing all mankind.
This revolutionary immunity-enhancing drug that appeared twenty years ago can effectively solve most epidemic diseases and is extremely cheap.
The Shimizu family did not use this to make money. Instead, they provided the formula of this drug to major medical institutions around the world for free, and called for the implementation of "gospel blessing", aiming to make this drug free for most ordinary people from common illnesses.
Put the most painful medicine into the hands of every citizen of the earth.
This feat quickly won praise from all over the world, and high-level officials from various countries reciprocated their love for the Qingshui family, and each showed their sincerity to welcome the Qingshui family's enterprises to further settle in.
Today, the Shimizu family companies and their employees can be found in both the coldest and hottest places in the world.
It can be said that the Qingshui family's influence has far surpassed Huasheng Fengmao and Su's Enterprises...
but……
What does it mean behind these brilliance?
I don't dare to think about it anymore.
My position is not high enough, maybe these guesses are just my imagination.
…
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" Dimly, I heard someone trying to wake me up.
My whole body ached and I felt extremely exhausted physically and mentally. I wanted to open my eyes or respond to him, but I was too tired.
The man seemed to see my pain. He gave up and said softly: "Well... okay, you can just sleep a little longer."
This is such a thoughtful statement, I was so moved.
But suddenly I seemed to realize something.
I sat up suddenly!
The person next to me was startled by me. He looked at me in surprise as I stood up like a corpse and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Although I am still very tired, my consciousness tells me that I cannot lie down so peacefully.
I sat up and subconsciously touched my chest, but all I felt was warm clothes and an intact body.
Instead of making me feel at ease, this made me a little confused.
I looked at my surroundings again.
This somewhat strange yet somewhat familiar room was filled with books, the windows were open, and a blue planet hung high in the dark sky outside.
I finally woke up when I saw it.
"Is this the hunting village?" I asked.
He nodded: "Well, how are you? Are you okay?"
I frowned and looked at the strange man in front of me. He was not Ajie or anyone I knew.
But I always feel like I should know this person.
Just when I looked confused and was about to ask him about his identity, he suddenly laughed: "You must not know me yet? My name is..."
"Xiaodouzi!" I called out his nickname before he finished speaking.
He looked at me in surprise: "Huh? How do you know my nickname!?"
Is it really Xiaodouzi?! Instead of being happy, I felt a little uneasy, so I subconsciously sat back.
"I...I guessed..."
But Xiaodouzi is not stupid. He looked at me for a while and suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, I know, it must be Mr. Yinsi who let you read the first chapter of the story, right?"
Yinsi? What Yinsi? Is he someone I know?
My mind is very confused now. After thinking about it carefully, isn't it that Ah Ji?
Is his name Yin Si?
While I was in confusion, the man in a shabby suit who had been here for more than thirty years appeared out of nowhere.
He coughed as usual, turned his back to me and said to himself: "Well... I'm awake... Have you finished reading?"
I was stunned when I heard this, and hurriedly stood up and walked over: "Your name...is it Yinsi?"
He fumbled randomly on the ground for books that he might have read countless times. He flipped through them casually and nodded: "Well... yes... Yin Temple... Takahashi Yin Temple... is a familiar one."
name."
I frowned and turned around to ask Xiaodouzi: "Has he always been like this?"
The adult Xiaodouzi came over with a smile and said, "No, Mr. Yinsi was a very handsome uncle many years ago. It's just that his health has gotten worse and worse over the years, so he has become confused."
That's it...
Does it turn out that you can also grow old in Karitsuki?
But why hasn't Qing Shui Gen changed? Shouldn't they be the same age?
It's strange to say that whenever I think of someone, that person will appear in the next second.
"Have you gained anything?" Qingshui Huan came behind me at some point.
I was startled, and when I turned around I saw Gen Shimizu helping up Inji Takahashi who was sitting on the ground.
Indera's fascination with Gen Qingshui seems to have not diminished at all in more than thirty years. I can really feel this from his eyes.
When a person only has you in his eyes, the love from the heart cannot be hidden.
I stood up and said: "There are some gains, but more of them are questions. For example, I really want to know..."
"As long as you have gained something, just leave the questions to find the answers yourself." Qingshui Huan directly interrupted my speech. This was very rude, but it also seemed to convey a signal to me. She would not tell me anything directly.
.
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
"Xiaodouzi, go help Liangye prepare dinner. There will be more guests tonight, so it may take some effort."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodouzi immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, Miss Huan."
"Guest?" I looked at Qing Shui Huan in confusion.
Qing Shui Huan said: "They are all people you are familiar with."
