Chapter 961： story (1/2)

Finally, Gao Wen asked the most important and important question he came to Tallond on this trip.

About the chain that connects mortals and gods.

If he had only one-sided concepts and rough guesses about this "chain" when he was on the Loren mainland, then since he came to Tallond, he has seen more and more of this dragon kingdom "The real side", his impression of this chain has become more and more clear.

This is an "intra-planet civilization" that has developed to the extreme. It is a stagnation that seems to have no longer progressed at all. From the social system to the specific technology tree, Tallund has been heavily chained, and these chains look completely They are all made by "people". Reminiscent of the operating rules of the gods, Gao Wen is not difficult to imagine that the birth of these "civilized locks" has an inseparable relationship with the Dragon God.

In Xiacheng District, he saw what a civilized civilization would look like, at least a part of its truth, and he believed that this was what the Dragon God took the initiative to show him-it was this "active" It feels very strange.

Because he can feel the details of the Dragon God’s words and deeds, this **** does not want to lock his people-but he must do so, because there is a supreme rule that is more irreversible than the god. Restraining Him.

Gao Wen and his experts and scholars have tried to analyze and prove this rule, and they think they have summarized at least a part of this rule, but there are still some details that need to be added. Now Gao Wen believes that this "God" "This is the last piece of the puzzle.

Hearing Gao Wen’s question, Dragon God was silent for a moment. It seemed that even He needed to sort out his thoughts and answer carefully before this ultimate question, and Gao Wen said after a short pause: “I actually know that God is also 'You can't help yourself.' There is a higher rule that binds you, mortal thoughts are affecting your state, and too drastic changes in thoughts will cause the gods to fall toward madness, so I guess you are to prevent yourself from falling into madness. Had to impose heavy restrictions on the Dragon Race..."

"Wanderer outside the territory, you are only right." At this moment, Dragon God suddenly spoke, interrupting Gao Wen's words.

Gao Wen frowned slightly: "Only part of it right?"

"God is really involuntary...but you underestimated the degree of our "involuntary self"," Dragon God said slowly, his voice low, "I really don't want to fall into madness, and I am indeed the yoke of the dragon family. , But all this...I didn't do it on my own initiative."

The pale golden glow descended from the top of the hall of the temple, as if forming a hazy halo around this "god", and the low roar from outside the temple seemed to weaken a bit, becoming like Without the illusion, a thoughtful look appeared on Gao Wen's face, but before he opened the question, Dragon God took the initiative to continue, "Do you want to hear the story?"

"Story?" Gao Wen froze for a moment, but then nodded. "Of course-I am very interested."

Dragon God smiled and gently shook the exquisite cup in his hand: "There are three stories in total.

"The first story is about a mother and her children.

"A long time ago, long ago, in a time when there were no people in this world, a mother and her children lived on the earth. It was an ancient barbarous age, and all knowledge has not been summed up, all wisdom They are still hidden in the children’s still young minds. At that time, the children were ignorant and ignorant, not even their mothers.

"The world at that time was very dangerous, and the children were still very fragile. In order to survive in the dangerous world, mothers and children must live cautiously and be careful not to make mistakes at all. There are biting fish in the river, Therefore, the mother forbids the children to go to the river, and there are human-eating beasts in the woods, so the mother forbids the children to go to the woods, and the fire will burn the body, so the mother forbids the children to play with fire. Instead, the mother uses her own power to protect Children, help children do many things... In the primitive era, this was enough to maintain the survival of the entire family.

"However, as time goes by, the children will gradually grow up, and wisdom begins to burst out of their minds. They have mastered more and more knowledge and can do more and more things-originally biting people in the river The fish can now be caught with a harpoon, and cannibal beasts can't beat the sticks in the children's hands. The grown children need more food, so they start to take risks, go to the river, to the forest, To make a fire...

"But the mother's thinking is dull. The children in her eyes are always children. She only feels that the actions are extremely dangerous, and she starts to discourage the children who are more courageous. She repeats the teachings of many years ago- Don't go to the river, don't go to the forest, don't touch the fire...

"Her obstruction has some uses and occasionally slows down the children's actions, but overall it is useless because the children's mobility is getting stronger and stronger, and they... must survive.

"In the beginning, this dull mother could barely keep up, she could slowly accept the growth of her children, and she could let go of her hands and feet a little bit to adapt to the new changes in the order in the family, but... with the increasing number of children The more, she finally couldn't keep up. The children's changes are faster than the day, once they need many years to master the fishing skills, but slowly, they can tame the new beast in just a few days In the new land, they even started to create a variety of languages, and even the communication between siblings changed rapidly.

"Mother was at a loss-she tried to adapt, but her dull mind finally couldn't keep up.

"She can only repeat the old dogma over and over again, continue to restrain the children's various actions, prohibit them from leaving their home too far, and prohibit them from touching dangerous new things. In her eyes, the children are still growing up. Very early-but in fact, her restraint can no longer protect children, but only makes them irritable and uneasy, and even gradually becomes a yoke that threatens their survival-children try to resist, but resist Is futile because when they grow up, their mothers become stronger and stronger.

"Now that her mother has built a fence at home, she finally can no longer tell what the children are like, she just circled everything and rejected everything she thought was "dangerous". Even if those things are actually the food the children badly need-the fence is completed, covered with the mother’s teachings, all kinds of things that are not allowed to be touched and not allowed to be tried, and the children... will starve to death Inside this little fence."

Gao Wen showed a thoughtful expression. He felt that he seemed to be able to easily understand this simple and straightforward story. The meanings of the mother and child in each of them were also obvious, but the details disclosed therein were worth considering.

But when he wanted to ask something, the next story had already begun--

"The second story is about a prophet.

"It was also a long time ago, in a barbaric age of the world, a prophet appeared in an ancient kingdom. This prophet has no specific name, and no one knows where he came from. People only know the prophet. Full of wisdom, as if he knew all the knowledge in the world, he taught many things to the local people, so he was loved by everyone.

"In that ancient age, the world was still very dangerous to people, and the power of the world was particularly weak in front of nature-even weak enough to kill the most common diseases. At that time The world knows little, neither how to treat disease, nor how to relieve danger, so when the Prophet arrived, he used his wisdom to formulate many rules for people to survive safely.
