Chapter 429 The Dragon and the Snake

"Ah this." This kind of differentiation was far beyond Shangluo's expectations.The Shui Tribe people in front of them, who looked so hungry at first sight, seemed to be still in the early stages of the agricultural era.But their form of social organization seems to be quite clear-cut, especially the exchange of information.

These three continents are quite large for their size, roughly the size between Greenland and Australia, and are true continents.How are they related to each other?
And what is the Asveda Fragment Sutra?
And why do both the Water Tribe and the Air Tribe claim to be a tribe, but only the "Tailun Kingdom", which seems to be the "Tu Tribe", calls itself a country?
And what is the birch world?
"All this is because of the birth of the Dragon Worship Cult." Uma replied, "The benevolent gods left us the Asveda Fragments. According to the revelation of the first chapter "How to Use the Forum", we should 'Make friends and share inspiration.'. It means to have kind thoughts, boost and consolidate our hard-won humanity, and always yearn for the light - yearning for the birch tree in the center of the world that supports the world. "Asveda The Fragmentary Sutra was once a piece of birch leaf. In order to remember the teachings of the gods, the shamans recited and copied it, forming our common "Asveda Fragmentary Sutra" and the Dragon Worship Cult."

"They don't seem to have a very good memory," muttered Apollonia on the side, "I remember what you wrote was clearly 'Meet new friends and discuss new topics'. It's all a mess, they just remember the title, I don’t even dare to think about the chaos that will follow. By the way, ask them why they are the Dragon Worship Cult and see if they are what I think.”

Shangluo asked the same question.

Uma replied: "Because when the serpents were judged by you and gave us human nature, we thought that the serpents had ascended to the form of dragons."

"That's right." Apollonia nodded, "It's the same as I thought. Dragons and snakes are relative concepts in many cases - for example, let me give you an example. In Indian mythology, the gods are called Deva, and those who are not gods are called Evil creatures are asuras. But on the other hand, the Persian Aryan culture, which has the same origin as the Indian Aryan culture, calls the gods Ahura and the evil spirits Deev. Do you see it? 'Ahura "Asura" is essentially the same word, "Deva and Difu" and the evil spirit you are more familiar with in English are also the same word in terms of etymology. But their meanings in the two cultures are completely opposite. , and both sides consider snakes to be the evil side.”

"So, the king who has the power to rule is the dragon?"

"There is no doubt that when you enfeoff, snakes are their undoubted rulers - they have power. It is reasonable for those with power to become dragons. In comparison, if any living beings want to To subvert the order you established."

"Is that a snake?"

"That's right. You see, you established the order of this world in the beginning, and this is just a server. They cling to the server like moths to cause you trouble, and they are naturally snakes. But after your trial, you Those snakes were given the 'tribe', and they were able to rule their own territory. If they had their own land and people, then they had already worn the dragon's crown and were no longer snakes. Dragons have dragon horns, don't they? ?That’s the dragon’s crown.”

"Ah wait."

He knocked the ball again: "No. [-] ball, is your scalp itchy?"

"It's not itchy. I don't feel like horns are growing on my head." Ball No. [-] answered directly.Although he didn't speak, he was always listening.

"Look." Apollonia continued, "Our dear friend, he gave up the power to rule and hid in your little billiard ball, so he never wore a crown and became a dragon. I think, Qi Geng The people on the other side of the earth should be wearing the crown and actually ruling their tribesmen."

"So it's called the Dragon Worship Cult? But it's wrong." He looked at Uma, "Where is your Water Dragon?"

"We believe that although the Snake Lord has gone into hiding, he will definitely come one day in the future. He will definitely come back to wear the crown and become the Dragon of Water, and completely end the threat of the Serpent of Fire. Therefore, what we worship is the water of the future. Dragon. We worship him and honor his commandments as if he had always been there."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. No. [-] Ball, do you hear that? Your subordinates are calling you to go back."

Ball No. [-] chose silence - it had the right to choose silence, so it did not speak.

"Okay." Shangluo nodded, "I probably know what's going on. The other two sides should have dragon commanders, so they have the Qi Mu Clan and the Tyron Kingdom. It sounds like they have a relatively unified way of life. But This 'Atayal Water Tribe' is a very broad life, neither pastoral nor national. It seems to have been figured out by these shamans themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to follow strict precepts, because this is how they establish their self-identity. Just like Hong Xiuquan said, "Alcohol is the first strict prohibition" - is drinking alcohol really that serious? That's not necessarily the case. Alcohol is not prohibited in the West. But if you don't prohibit alcohol, how will others know that you are worshiping God? A counter-example is Mo Nishuaism, Manichaeism, Buddhism and Taoism eventually combined themselves." After speaking, he looked at Uma in front of him: "Your father, bring him to see me."

"Ah, please forgive my presumption! But God, I'm afraid he can't come."

"why?"

"He's already taking root."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Look over there, look at that tree."

Raising his telescope, Shangluo looked into the distance where he pointed - there was a big "tree" in the center of a group of houses.It's said to be a tree, but it's more like some kind of mushroom, or a banyan tree and a willow tree and a geometric shape.The root systems that sprout from the ground are entangled with each other to form a trunk, just like the trunk of a banyan tree.Then it spread out in the treetops, like the branches of a weeping willow.

"That's my father. He reached his end last year. After death, the bodies of our clan will quickly decay in the earth. But the souls of our water clan have nowhere to go, and our dragon master is nowhere to be seen. It would have been a sad thing to have no Dragon Lord to take in our souls. But the powerful among us benefited from this, and they were able to reassemble their bodies and sprout again in the form of trees. So I still have time, I I'm learning how to become a shaman from my father. Maybe in the future I can have my own tree."

"Okay, okay." Shangluo put down the telescope, "You are really quite talented. I saw the right person."

He thought from the beginning that these mushrooms were quite powerful.I didn't expect that I could play it so well.

"God! Do we look like what you expected?"

Shangluo nodded: "I'm very happy to see that you can have your own life. You are different from the beginning."

"Then please protect us! Please protect Insula, this is the name of our village and the name of my father."

"Shelter? You have your own house and your own fields. Although I don't know how to live without being exposed to fire, it seems that you can live on your own. Why do you need me to protect you?"

"Because the city of Kaniki upstream built a stone dam and blocked the water source. The fields where we grow crops are drying up and our villages are dying."

"This has nothing to do with me. This is your own business."

"But Carniki City has the protection of another god! Please! We also want to have our own god!"
