Straight Knife

The following days in the empire can be said to be peaceful. The real danger is not within the territory of the Tianlong Empire, but the Fengshen Empire and the Water God Empire, the only way to go after leaving the empire.

Wang Feng had no idea of ​​the Water God Empire and the Fengshen Empire, but had an initial impression of his country based on these two names.

After being exposed to magic, I learned that magic is divided into several different departments, and each department can only be played with the help of God's power.In this sense, magic should not be a power that ordinary people in the world can grasp at all, it is basically the embodiment of God's will and power in this world through the spokesperson of the magician.

Each country believes in different powers and represents different main gods. Therefore, using the name of a god to reflect the country's dignity not only reflects the country's dignity, but also fully reflects the respect for the god.

But what Wang Feng didn't understand was the naming of Tianlong Empire.If the Heavenly Dragon Empire believes in dragons, then how is it different from the dragons believed in by the Shenlong Empire?

With this question in mind, Wang Feng asked Linda when he was camping.

Linda has been exchanging archery skills with elf archers these days.On the way on weekdays, they all talked in the language of elves.The language of the elves is difficult to understand, except for the real elves who grew up in the elves, other races don't understand it at all.

Because the human race is widely distributed and communicates with various races, the language of the human race has become the lingua franca of the continent.People of all races can speak the language of the human race.

Elvish communication has made anyone who wants to know what the elves talk to die.And Linda and these elves shared their different understandings of bows and arrows while chatting and laughing recklessly.

The training that Linda received was different from these people. The training method of the army embodies killing bosses, and pays more attention to one-hit kills. It is more like a light and empty art.

The main purpose of the elves is to learn Wang Feng's astonishingly powerful archery technique, which Linda has already named it "Spiritual Strike".

The most difficult thing about learning spiritual strikes is not how to control the unique aura of elves to rotate in a specific way, but to let those who have never thought that there is such an incredible spiritual power in their bodies understand and allow themselves to control these powers.Linda started to cultivate this kind of aura with the help of Wang Feng's internal strength. Now without Wang Feng's help, the effect is naturally much worse.

However, these elves studied very hard and believed in Linda's words.In addition to the normal security work every day, even when I am walking, I am thinking silently, trying to find that agile feeling.

All the elves have begun to understand slowly, but Linda has no one to chat with in the language of her own race. However, she does not feel sad, because without the entanglement of these elves, she can walk with Wang Feng even more up.

On this day, all the troops of the brigade set up camp and rested.Wang Feng looked at the left and right. The members of the wolf army were all cultivating on their own, and other chores had been arranged. Linda Ruohan was also busy, so he called Bai Xue and sat on a small hill not far from the camp. Looking quietly at the two moons rising in the sky.

There was a moon that happened to be full. Looking at this round moon, Wang Feng felt homesick for no reason.If the full moon is in his own world, it should be a day of reunion. Wang Feng has not enjoyed the feeling of reunion for many years. Ever since his parents died, Wang Feng has no home, let alone a family reunion.

Sighing lightly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in his ears.Now in the entire team, the only one who can reach this level is Linda who has practiced lightness kung fu.

Seeing Wang Feng staring blankly at the sky from a distance, Linda suddenly felt that Wang Feng was a bit helpful now, and walked over involuntarily.In her heart, she only hopes to face all things together with Wang Feng, whether it is happy or unhappy.

Sitting down between Bai Xue and Wang Feng, Linda asked softly, "Feng, what are you thinking?" .As soon as the words came out, Linda's face was already flushed, but she had a kind of anticipation in her heart, wondering how Wang Feng would react when he heard this title.

Wang Feng was silently thinking about some things in his hometown, when he suddenly heard Linda's name, he was sensitive and immediately heard the deep affection and care from it.A trace of depression immediately dissipated.

Although I have left the world I live in and many friends who have shared life and death, I have also made many of the same friends in this world. More importantly, there is a confidante like Linda who silently cares about and likes me. Thinking of this, the unhappiness caused by homesickness in my heart was immediately forgotten.

Wang Feng gently stretched out his left hand, grabbed Linda's right hand, and said nothing.But both of them had a deep affection in their hearts.Linda was even more excited.

The other hand touched Baixue lightly, and Baixue obediently lay down in front of the two of them. Wang Feng said, "I'm thinking about some things in my original world."

Linda watched his hand slide from the top of Bai Xue's head to the tip of his tail, and after a while, he said, "Can you tell me?"

Wang Feng smiled and said, "Of course. But you can answer my question first." Linda tilted her head and looked at him. Wang Feng smiled and asked about the name of the Tianlong Empire.

Linda felt very uncomfortable with one hand in Wang Feng's, but in her heart she hoped that Wang Feng's hand would never let go.Hearing Wang Feng's question, he sorted out what he knew silently while being drunk, and then slowly spoke.

Indeed, the names of many countries are related to the main gods believed by their royal families.For a variety of reasons, the presiding deity varies from country to country.

Some magicians from the royal family and aristocrats can practice that department of magic because of their physique. Relatively speaking, the main gods honored by these people who occupy a dominant position in the country have become the objects of national worship.

In addition, in order to maintain the nobility of blood, the nobles of various countries often intermarry among the upper classes. As a result, after a few generations, the mages among the nobles can only practice one department of magic. Therefore, in this country Among them, the main god is even more sacred and irreplaceable.Gradually these nobles named their country after the name of the god. .

Of course, there should only be one country named after the same god, but another country that believes in the same god was dissatisfied with this country's encroachment on the sacred name, so it launched a multinational war called "rectification of names" in later generations.

At that time, there were as many as dozens of small countries participating in the war, centered on different gods, and divided into several small war zones, and the countries in each war zone were vying for the name of the main god they believed in.

After decades of fierce fighting, finally those powerful countries slowly annexed the small countries they were fighting with to form a larger country, and the war of name rectification was slowly coming to an end.

However, there are still a few small countries in each theater who are unwilling to fail, so their forces slowly gather. Finally, several small countries in several different theaters unite to form a country called Tianlong. There are people who believe in various gods in the war zone. After learning from each other's strengths, they have become another force that can compete with the big countries in the name of each main god.

Later, the countries basically quelled the surrounding wars, because the surrounding countries were named after different gods, so for a while, the countries could not find a reason to talk to other countries. After all, there can be no war between gods and gods.

The miscellaneous army, the Tianlong Empire, has shown their strength in the later wars. No country dares to underestimate them. Moreover, after decades of wars, all empires have been exhausted. There is really no extra manpower and material resources to support another war. , so by coincidence, several countries sent peace envoys one after another and concluded a peace treaty, and the situation on the mainland gradually stabilized into what it is now.

This is also the history of the current Heavenly Dragon Empire.

After Wang Feng understood the process, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing at this ridiculous war.

Then, I thought of a question, since this war is a war of the human race, how did the peaceful coexistence of all races come about?Linda didn't know very well about this issue. She only knew that the world had been like this since she was born, and no one explained it to them. Everyone was familiar with it and peacefully coexisted with people of different races.

Tilting his head slightly, Wang Feng couldn't help asking, "Linda, do you elves have any gods you believe in? I've heard that the most powerful magicians are all elves. Which do you believe in?"

Linda turned to look at Wang Feng, and suddenly smiled softly: "Feng, if I told you that our elf magicians don't believe in any main gods, would you believe it?"

Wang Feng said: "Of course I do. Even if you tell me now that the main god believes in your elves, I won't be surprised."

Linda looked at Wang Feng, as if judging the truth of his words, Wang Feng smiled and said, "I never doubt what you say."

A feeling of happiness that she had never felt before was rippling in her heart, and Linda felt a little light.But I still remembered Wang Feng's question, and continued: "Our elves and humans have different beliefs, and we don't have any good feelings for those high-ranking gods. None of the elf races worship these gods. We have our own gods. "

Wang Feng finally understood that this may be the cultural surprise of different races, and it should be the same as the different beliefs of the Han and Khitan in the original world.

Linda asked curiously at this time: "Feng, do you have gods in your original world?"

"Yes, there are many." Wang Feng took over the conversation, carefully went through the gods in his image, and then began to speak slowly.

"There are many gods in our world, and there are also many stories about gods. In our world, the world of gods is not just a few gods of different magic systems."

"Then what does your god look like? Is it the same as ours?"

"Our gods don't only admire power. In many cases, our gods just bless us. There are dragon gods who bless us with good weather, and protect the land of one side. There are birthday stars whose life expectancy is higher than that of Nanshan, in short, our gods are all gods who bless our people in one or more aspects."

After a pause, he continued: "Although in many cases, the gods did not bring us what we expected, but after all, in our hearts, the gods still gave us the hope of counting."

Linda asked curiously, "Don't you have any elemental gods? Like wind gods, water gods?"

"Yes, we have a mother-in-law who is in charge of wind, and a father and mother who is in charge of thunder and lightning. Every river, lake and sea has a water god who is in charge. The land is specialized in managing soil, so it should be regarded as an earth god." Wang Feng at this time Only then did I realize that there are no less gods in my own world than here, which is really interesting.

"Most of the things involved in people's lives are blessed by gods. There is a kitchen god for eating, and they are worshiped every year during the Chinese New Year. There are door gods for gatekeepers, and there are two more. There are children for giving birth The empress, as well as the fairies Chang'e, Wu Gang and Jade Rabbit who live in the Moon Palace, would eat mooncakes and enjoy the moon every Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The moon at that time was as big and round as it is today." Speaking of these, Wang Feng suddenly I feel that my original world is still very exciting.

Linda has obviously never heard so many new things, especially as a god who has to take care of the trivial life of ordinary people in the world, which makes the elves who live in this world above the gods very incomprehensible.

Wang Feng got excited and explained to Linda what Chinese New Year was in his world and how to celebrate it.What is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and how did you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your family when you were a child.And told the story of Houyi and Chang'e.

Hearing that there is such a grand festival there, and all the people in the world are celebrating, Linda can't help yearning.Moreover, such a simple story of two people can also involve the king and queen among the gods, as well as ten sun gods. People can become gods after eating the elixir. Linda couldn't help being deeply moved by this poignant love story.

"How many gods are there in your world?" Linda asked in surprise.

"I don't know, I haven't counted it, and I can't count it. In our world, from King Pangu who created the world, to Nuwa who created man, and then there are all kinds of gods, I can't count them. There are Sifang Great Emperor, Wenquxing, Wuqu star, eight gods in the upper, middle and lower holes, 28 constellations, 36 celestial gangs, and 72 dishas, ​​too many to count. According to our legend, every star in the sky is a fairy, which is more famous and not Gods named after stars. In addition, there are countless heavenly soldiers and generals, how many gods do you think we have?".

Linda stuck out her tongue, her mischievous look made people laugh.Then he asked: "Then, Feng, is there any god among your gods who is in charge of the love between two people?"

Wang Fengdao: "Yes, among our gods, there is a man named Yuelao, who is in charge of the marriages of people in the world. Since every person is born, Yuelao has tied a red thread to his body, and the other part of the red thread At one end, it is tied to the person of your previous marriage, so when we care about two people's marriage, we usually say that a thousand-mile marriage is bound by a thread."

Listening to Wang Feng's words, Linda was still a little shy, and maybe she had heard too many new things today, and she couldn't digest them for a while, so instead of asking these unfamiliar things, Linda asked something she was familiar with: "Then Do you have gods for battle?"

"Yes, many, Nezha, Tota Heavenly King, Erlang God, many, many, many, many, but we are not divided according to wind, fire, water and soil. Our ancestors had divisions such as Tai Chi, Yin Yang, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams long ago. Sometimes gods also Rank according to this. However, I guess you don't understand this."

Linda was very curious, and pestered him to make him explain clearly. Wang Feng had no choice but to patiently tell him about the changes in Yin-Yang and five elements that he knew from medicine. I can't understand it anymore.

Wang Feng looked at Linda who suddenly became mischievous and smiled, his heart was full of this little fairy's cute face, he understood that because of the recent series of incidents, she was afraid that he would have something to worry about, so he deliberately teased himself to make him happy.

Linda looked at Wang Feng and smiled at herself, her face blushed immediately, and she lowered her head shyly.

Knowing the thoughts of this beautiful elf, Wang Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart, and continued to tell her the story.

"In our place, people can practice to become immortals, that is, to become gods." Looking at Linda's surprised eyes, Wang Feng said: "Many of our gods are transformed by people through cultivation. Maybe the gods in our place I have more compassion for all living beings in the world than you, and I also give people more opportunities than the gods here."

In Linda's childhood memories, there has never been a history of anyone being able to become a god. Although the elves do not believe in the magic gods of humans, they still have gods.Wanting to jump from an ordinary elf to a god, the elf doesn't even dare to think about it, how can it be so disrespectful to a god.

No matter how surprised he was by Wang Feng's statement, the shrewd elf still heard something from Wang Feng's words, and asked: "You said that gods love all living beings in the world, so can non-human beings also become gods?" ?”

"Of course, not only people can do it, but everything in the world can do it." Touching Baixue, he continued, "If I hadn't come to this world with it, maybe Baixue could have become a fairy over there."

Suddenly, Linda's head grew dizzy when she heard another monster, something she didn't understand.However, since he can carry the word "immortal", it means that Baixue's level is not as simple as that of ordinary monsters, and he suddenly realized, "No wonder Baixue is so powerful, so she is almost becoming a fairy."

When Bai Xue heard about it, she raised her head to look at them, whined a few times, and lowered her head again.

Stretching out her little white hand and touching Baixue's smooth fur, Linda asked, "Feng, which god do you worship most in your world?"

Apparently he didn't expect Linda's question, Wang Feng thought for a while before he said: "I don't know, when I was young, I studied medicine from my father. At that time, the gods I most admired were Shennong, Bian Que, Hua Tuo They are all saints of medicine, heal the wounded, and save lives. But when my parents died, I joined the wolf army on my side. At that time, I didn’t have those gods who bless all living beings in my heart, only two words.”

She cared about everything about Wang Feng, so Linda asked hastily, "What word?"

The light in Wang Feng's eyes flickered, and he said word by word: "Xiu-Luo!" After saying those two words, the surrounding wind seemed to stop, and Bai Xue also felt the indescribable chill around him. When he saw something, he jumped up and whined a few times, looked around, the white wolf head glanced left and right, the surrounding grass felt the pressure, the two of them, one wolf as the center, fell to all sides.

Linda shivered suddenly, leaned towards Wang Feng, and said worriedly: "Feng, don't do this."

Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his mood stabilized, Bai Xue also slowly lay down to the original position, Wang Feng said softly: "Linda, I scared you."

Seeing that he had recovered, Linda shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter."

"Do you still want to hear about my affairs?" Wang Feng asked softly, and Linda nodded hastily.

"I came out of the military camp and after I took revenge, I never killed anyone again. During that time, I spent most of my time traveling around the world, collecting medicines to save people along the way. I didn't have any pursuits, and I didn't have any pressure. It can be said that it was my happiest life." A period of time. During those days, I did not have any beliefs, nor did I have any gods in my heart."

After a pause, he continued: "Then I came here, and what I heard was all kinds of magical races, and things I had never seen before. At that time, I was thinking, it should be God punishing me, and let me come to this strange place. In this world, I will be with you forever, and I can't go back from now on."

Looking at Linda, Wang Feng smiled and said: "Until recently, I realized that God is not punishing me, but fulfilling me. Let me come to this place that has nothing to do with the original world, and give me So many friends, and most importantly, I found the woman on the other end of my red thread, I think, since the day I was born, Yue Lao has tied my red thread to you."

Hearing Wang Feng's direct confession, Linda blushed and shrank into Wang Feng's arms with a cry.Wang Feng looked at the beautiful elf, and hugged him even tighter, but his heart was never satisfied.

Arrangements have been made in the distant camp, and the two people in the snuggle are not affected in the slightest.Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from that side, and seeing the situation here, the man also stopped in his footsteps, and turned his head back tactfully.

Wang Feng could tell that it was a former dragoon. Although he really wanted to know what he was going to say, he really didn't want to spoil the warm feeling in front of him, so Wang Feng didn't get up.

It is probably not a big deal. The members of the wolf army, whether they are the original dragoons or the newly joined elf archers, have all undergone strict military training. If there is an important matter, they probably will not allow themselves and Linda to continue.

The warm feeling didn't last long. Although my subordinates were very knowledgeable, there were always some ignorant people who disturbed other people's good deeds.

It was also due to Wang Feng's superhuman hearing ability, a discordant voice suddenly came from the slight heartbeats of the two of them.It was from a wood far from camp.

Bai Xue's senses were also very sensitive, her ears pricked up, her head turned around, staring in that direction and whining a few times.

Linda also noticed the strangeness from Bai Xue's movement, poked her head out of Wang Feng's arms, and asked, "What's the matter, Feng?"

Wang Feng looked in that direction and said softly, "It's nothing, just a few little mice."
