I Have 48 Hours a Day

"You want to understand the myth, now?" Zhang Zhang was surprised. "I thought you were not interested in these things after graduating from sixth grade."

The four have finished dinner. After packing the tableware, Zhang's mother and grandfather turned up old photos in the study, while Zhang's father and Zhang Heng watched TV while eating fruit in the living room.

"Okay, what do you want to know, as long as it is something I know, just come and ask." Father Zhang picked up an apple and took a bite to refresh.

Zhang Heng thought for a while, "Is there really a God in the world we live in?"

"Yeah ~" Father Zhang was almost choked by the mouthful of the apple that had just been swallowed, coughing and cried twice, "What's wrong, now we really have to pretend you're still in sixth grade?"

He took a sip of water and smoothed his breath. "I remember that we seemed to have discussed this issue a long time ago. Although my mother and you are majors in theology, we do not have any beliefs. In fact, I am interested in mythology. On the part of history and humanities, your mother ... well, she is just interested in all the bizarre stories, and she likes to travel around in the name of religious archeology, take pictures, taste food or something, I remember correctly Her master's thesis was written on the diet of medieval believers.

"From my personal point of view, the so-called myth is just a story written by mortals, just like a fairy tale, just for adults. For example," Homer Epic "is said to be blind in ancient Greece. We are all aware of the theme of the Trojan War, created by the poet Homer. There are not only mortals, but also the half-human demigod Achilles, the sun **** Apollo, and the sea **** Poseidon.

"But in fact, only the Trojan War actually happened in history, and the rest was only Homer's artistic processing. The academic community generally believes that if Homer did have someone, he would live in the 9th century BC, At that time, no historian was a historian, and no one would emphasize the authenticity of history, so the way people record history is to mix what happened with myths and legends, and then we have Homer epic"."

Zhang Father paused, "In fact, if you are really studying a mythological system, you will find that they have their origins. Generally, they are oral traditions, and they continue to develop on this basis. Celtic mythology, which originated from Celtic folklore, was influenced by ancient Rome and Christianity in the process of formation. If the stories in it are true, how could it follow the civilization Migration is constantly changing, and more typically Greek and Roman mythology. "

Father Zhang said while holding an apple, "Roman mythology is completely born of Greek mythology. Many gods have different names, just because they are pronounced differently. As for the storyline, they are all the same. How can they be true."

Zhang Heng Moran, in fact, this is also the same as his usual cognition, but where do the so-called deities come from? In the copy of Heifan, he called himself the Celtic ancient god. Existence, as well as those supernatural creatures he encountered in the real world, if the legends about them are fictional, why would they be real?

Zhang Heng remembered that he met the guy named Einstein in a copy of the Apollo training camp. From his words, it seemed that he could hear that he had the same level of existence as the old man in the Tang costume that Zhang Heng had encountered before, but Zhang Heng could not feel any connection with myths and legends on his body, as well as those game props that he had seen at auction before. Some of them were obviously the products of modern society ...

Zhang Heng decided to put this question aside for the time being, and asked one question he has always been most concerned about, "What are the gods about time?"

Father Zhang raised his eyebrows. "Are the gods of time? Indeed, there are gods related to time in many mythological systems, but the most famous is the super-primitive **** in ancient Greek mythology, Koronos. He is the supreme **** worshiped by Orpheus, symbolizing the first cause of transcending everything. It exists before everything begins. It is the supreme **** in the Twenty-four Holy Words Narrative, possessing power above all things. There is no entity in itself, but sometimes it appears as a snake, with three heads-man, cow and lion, but the image of the old man is better known because it is often described in modern art works as An old man with a sickle. "

"Old man, is this an old man like this?" Zhang Heng took out the old photo from the pocket of the study and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

There was a surprise in Zhang's eyes, picking up the photo ~ www.readwn.com ~ ha ... where did you find this thing? "

"You have participated in many research projects. Basically, every time a mother goes there, she takes a lot of photos. Why is this only one time, and the whole room is the only one? Where are the other photos?"

"Because at the end of the study we lost a sled, and four sled dogs, they fell into the ice cave, and even the contents of the sled were flipped in, including our Kodak, and then we worked hard, But in the end I could n’t pull up the four poor little guys, let alone the stuff on the sleigh. As for Mr. Tam, he was the patron of this research, but we have n’t seen him for more than a decade after the research. Come over. "

Although Zhang's father tried to maintain a relaxed tone, Zhang Heng could hear that his heart was not so calm as it was on the surface, especially when he saw the photos, his pupils were obviously shrinking, and then he apparently concealed some Thing, but what surprised Zhang Heng was that it didn't seem to have much to do with Mr. Tam.

Because when he talked about Mr. Tam later, his body relaxed again and he changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

Zhang Heng didn't quite understand why his father lied about the film, and his grandfather knew about this research activity, in other words, he was the only one in the whole family who was completely hidden from the drum. The question is why, why did his parents dispose of the photos, and never mentioned the research project that went to Greenland 18 years ago.

What happened on the island in the Arctic Circle has nothing to do with him who was only one year old at that time. If the Tang costume freak had seen his parents 18 years ago, then Zhang Heng's choice after 18 years is obviously not It was just appreciation and chance, as he said at first.

Instead of this encounter, it is better to say that this is an 18-year wait.
