Chapter 961： story (2/2)
"Do not eat the wild animals that live near the swamp, because most of the meat of these wild animals is poisonous; do not drink the water on a certain mountain, because it will cause gastrointestinal infections; do not cross a river, because Poisonous grass grows across the river, and humans can't make a detoxifying ointment...
"After leaving these admonitions, the prophet rested and returned to his reclusive place, and the world took the prophet's wise teachings with gratitude and began to plan his life according to these admonitions.
"Soon, people benefited from these admonitions. They found that their relatives and friends no longer easily fell ill and died. They found that these admonitions could help everyone avoid disasters. So they followed the rules of the admonition more carefully. And things... gradually changed.
"People pay more and more attention to these admonitions, and even regard them as more important than the law. After generations have passed, people have even forgotten the original purpose of these admonitions, but they are still observing them cautiously. It became a dogma; people became more and more respectful of the prophet who left the admonition, and even felt that it was peeping into the truth of the world, possessing supreme wisdom, and even began to build statues for the prophet-using what they imagined , The glorious perfect image of the prophet.
"After so many years, the prophet returned to this land. He saw that the original weak kingdom had prospered. There were many, many times more people on the earth than many years ago. People became more intelligent, They are more knowledgeable and more powerful, and the land and mountains and rivers of the entire country have also undergone tremendous changes during the long years.
"Everything has changed, it has become more prosperous and beautiful than the barren world.
"Then the Prophet was very happy. He observed the people's way of life again and ran to the street, telling everyone loudly-the beasts living near the swamp are also edible, as long as they are cooked in a suitable cooking method; The water on a certain mountain is drinkable because it is already non-toxic; the land opposite the river is already safe, and there are now fertile fields..."
Dragon God stopped and looked at Gao Wen with a smile: "Guess what happened?"
Gao Wen took a light breath: "...The Prophet is about to be out of luck."
"Yeah, the Prophet is about to be out of luck-angry crowds came from all directions, they shouted slogans to fight against heretics, because some people insulted their holy springs, holy mountains, and tried to confuse civilians to set foot on the "holy land" across the river. , They surrounded the prophets and killed them with sticks.
"This is the second story."
Gao Wen frowned a little.
At first he thought that he had read through the morals of these two stories, but now, he suddenly had a trace of doubt in his mind-he found that he might think too simple.
He raised his head and looked across: "Mother and Prophet don't just refer to gods, and children and civilians are not necessarily mortals... are they?"
"I'm glad you can think so deeply," Dragon God smiled, and seemed very happy. "If many people hear this story, I'm afraid that they will think about it the first time: mothers and prophets mean God, children, and civilians. It is human, but in the whole story, the identities of these characters are far from simple.
"Everyone-and all gods, are just insignificant characters in the story, and the true protagonist of the story... is the intangible and intangible rule that is difficult to confront. The mother will definitely build a fence, which is in accordance with her personal wishes. No matter, the Prophet will definitely be killed, which has nothing to do with his will, and the children and civilians who are victims and perpetrators... they are only part of the rules from beginning to end.
"Maybe you think that it is not difficult to break the tragedy in the story, as long as the mother can change her way of thinking in time, as long as the prophet can become smoother, as long as people become smarter and sensible, everything can end peacefully, You don’t have to go to such an extreme situation... but unfortunately, things will not be so simple."
The Dragon God's voice became constricted, and his eyes seemed to have fallen into a distant and ancient time and space, and in his narrative, Gao Wen suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the deepest part of the eternal storm.
That static battlefield, the two warring parties are so unreserved and unrelenting, as if they contain bitter hatred, as if only you die and live to end everything-but think about it, the two sides on the battlefield are really Was it because of "hate"?
Enya's voice sounded calmly: "... The group's ideological trend is a powerful and inertial force. When a race has abided by a set of rules for thousands of years, and this set of rules points to religion and gods, then this force It will become...powerful. Many times, you can’t change the concepts accumulated by the ten generations within a generation. This kind of concept hedging will directly act in the trend of thoughts and set off a stormy wave. You call it God 'Crazy'-yet God is not crazy.
"God is just "correcting" your "dangerous behavior" according to the ``tradition'' of the mortals for thousands of years-even if he does not actually want to do it, he must do it."
Gao Wen looked at the other party: "God's "personal will" is separated from the "operational law" that God must perform. In the eyes of mortals, schizophrenia is crazy."
"Indeed, from a mortal point of view... when the **** chooses to destroy all creatures, it makes no difference whether this behavior is "correction" or "crazy"."
Gao Wen was silent for a long time, and Shen Sheng said: "From the perspective of the development of civilization, in a healthy and continuously developing society, the rate of birth of new things and new ideas will always be faster and faster-in a generation of time It is a necessity to change the concepts accumulated by the ten generations here, because productivity must be developed unless..."
Gao Wen said that he paused a little hesitantly here. Although he knew he was telling the truth, here, in the current situation, he always felt that he continued to speak as if with some kind of sophistry, or with " Mortal selfishness", but Enya said for him--
"Unless caught in the cradle of eternity."
His expression was plain.
"The dragon race has failed, the gods have merged into one, and the chains on the mind directly trapped all the members of civilization, so I had to turn Tallonde into such a cradle and let everything stand still to ensure that I don’t They will kill them by mistake, and as a result you have seen-they are still alive, but only alive, Tallond is dead, the machine is running on this land, the lifeless steel and stones I was contaminated with some debris that used to be called'Dragon Race'... Letting these debris remain is already all I can do for them.
"So, wanderers outside the realm, do you like this kind of "cradle of eternity"?"
