Volume Five: The Living Doll Kingdom (9)

The next morning, the field team of the General Office got up before seven o'clock and watched the doll making techniques that could be watched. The villagers were amazed. Perhaps they all felt that there were not many people in the city who could still be lively after a long journey. They didn't speak much Chinese, but Ding Youlan could also speak local language fluently to them, making the villagers say that they were indeed top students in colleges and universities. It was different to be educated. The praise was a bit guilty.

Let the group members who entered the village with a pleasing face and a pleasing mouth play freely. After breakfast, Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong talked to the village chief Ri to talk about all the things about Musheng Village - of course, most of them were Assistant Lin talking, and the minister listened to him - and then naturally mentioned Zunou Village.

When Uncle Yori heard these three words, his face changed. It was not a taboo and disgust, but it seemed that he was surprised to find someone remembering Zunyu Village. Lin Yingkong pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I heard from a professor at the University of B that the dolls in Zunyu Village are also very good, right?"

"No, your friend is right. It seems that he has been there," Mr. Yori smiled bitterly. "Yesterday, I said that the dolls in Musheng Village are the best, but they are actually bragging. Compared with Zunyu Village, Musheng Village is a kid-playing house."

Feng Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you say this?"

Uncle Yori asked replies without answering: "How do you think the dolls in Musheng Village are doing in our Musheng Village?"

"Very good." Lin Yingkong gave an evaluation. There were some supporting elements, but they were also sincerely saying this. They had specially investigated the puppets here, but they didn't see the problem, and they were very impressed by their workmanship.

Uncle Yori was not very happy after hearing this, and shook his head and said, "But this is just something that Musheng Village has learned from one tenth of the art of making dolls in Zunyu Village."

This sounded unexpected. Lin Yingkong was surprised: "Is Musheng Village's craftsmanship taught by Zunyu Village?"

"It should be said that it was passed down from Zunyu Village..." Mr. Yori said, "I wonder if the two teachers have time to listen to me and talk about the old history passed down from Musheng Village?"

"Of course," Lin Yingkong smiled, "Didn't we come here for this reason?"

Mr. Yori then smiled, lit a dry tobacco and took a few sips, and said, "It should be a thousand years ago. At that time, this Zunmu Village was not called a village, it was called Zunmu Country. The villages near us used to belong to this Zunmu Country. Although it was not big, it was also a country of its own..."

The so-called honoring puppet country is similar to that now. They are famous for making dolls. When their skills are at their peak, they are said to be lifelike and look like real people. When they are made into human-sized appearances, they can make others unable to tell the truth. Small countries around them are flocking to them and are proud of having such a doll at home.

"I have never seen the dolls at that time, but the old people in the village say that the dolls made at that time were all able to move, dance, play knives, sing, and work. They also have a skill of making leather into human skin. When you put the dolls on the street, you can't tell which one is a real person and which one is a doll..." When describing the skills of the country of Zun, Mr. Yori's expression was full of awe and sigh.

"It's really that amazing?" Fei Rong and Cheng Xiaodai came back with a small stool and squatted beside them to listen to the story. Their eyes widened - this was much better than the thing Zhuge Liang made in history!

Feng Rong was a little suspicious, "This kind of craft cannot be done in modern times. Maybe it has an exaggeration, right?"

Uncle Yori quickly waved his hand and retorted: "No, no, that's all the blessings given by the Son of God."

Cheng Xiaodai touched his chin and said, "Son of God?" Is this a transformation from folk craft history to a fantasy channel? But the doll of the Puppet Kingdom does sound like the puppet art of the supernatural world, such as lichry.

"Yes, it's the Son of God," said Mr. Yori's tone with obvious respect, "He is the only god worshipped by the Kingdom of Zun Ou, and he will be reincarnated as a boy from the Kingdom of Zun Ou every hundred years. There is no king in the Kingdom of Zun Ou, only the Son of God."

Fei Rong and Cheng Xiaodai nodded - just like the living Buddha in Buddhism.

"And the Son of God has the power to give new life. When the people of the Honoured Puppet Kingdom bring the dolls they made with their hearts to him, he can give them new life, let the dolls survive like humans, help the master do what they can, and even form an untiring army. At that time, there were many powerful countries around, and no one dared to touch a finger of the person who was in the Honoured Puppet Kingdom."

Lin Yingkong and Feng Rong also nodded - they sprinkled beans and became soldiers and opened their spirits. There are indeed many supernatural creatures with profound cultivation who can do it, but this son of gods is even more terrifying. In that era when he was fearing ghosts and gods, many demons and gods were willing to join the world to form cause and effect with humans.

"Isn't this great?" Fei Rong felt itchy when she heard it. This doll sounded like a free nanny, so good!

"Everything has two sides. I remember this is a famous saying in Chinese," said Mr. Yori, with a bit of heavy weight in his eyes. "The living doll has achieved the supreme glory of the kingdom of Zuo, but it is also the root of the destruction of the kingdom of Zuo."

Perhaps many people have seen this assumption. If one day humans invented intelligent advanced robots, they did a lot of things on behalf of humans and indulged human laziness, then one day they might want to create their own kingdom and completely replace humans to occupy this planet. A similar situation occurred in the Zunyu Kingdom, a thousand years ago, and the first one to realize was not someone else, but the uncrowned king and son of the Zunyu Kingdom.

The Son of God gave the dolls life, allowing them to be flexible and have their own ideas, their convenience and ability made the master who possessed them love them, and gradually became an indispensable existence in life. Farming, trade, daily life, the living dolls quietly spread throughout the entire puppet kingdom with a perfect and humble attitude. The Son of God began to find that his people gradually became lazy, became idle, and even controlled their lives by the dolls. The Son of God began to worry, worried that his people would be betrayed by the dolls, and that his kingdom would be occupied by the dolls, so he gradually became unwilling to accept that people would send the dolls to the temple and give them the glory of living.

Fei Rong finally realized the disadvantages of such dolls. "So hasn't the Son of God thought of destroying all those dolls?"

Uncle Yori probably didn't expect such a shuiling girl to do things so cruelly. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "It was something that everyone made with all their efforts. The Son of God didn't say at first that he wanted to destroy them, but he would no longer give new life to the dolls, and he also advised the people in the puppet country to be careful of them. But everyone is used to using puppets to do things. His doing so makes those people and puppets dissatisfied..."

The Son of God is God, and it is not as caring as the dolls who accompany him every day. Or the people in the Punish Kingdom at that time were crazy. The living dolls brought them not only convenience, but also fame, money, power, etc. Some even had a bad intention, wanting to make their bodies like puppets in order to get a better body and a longer life. Before that era, people would never understand how exquisite and perfect the skills of the Punish Kingdom were. Therefore, the Son of God's practice made the people of the Punish Kingdom worship him have a strange intention, thinking that the Son of God was making things difficult for them.

The dolls were not satisfied. Although they had human life and wisdom, they were still fleshless things after all. They only knew that the god who made them alive might take back what they gave. Death was a terrifying thing for most creatures who could think independently. Such fear was enough for them to do many actions that made the Son of God more suspicious of them.

The contradiction lies in the three parties. The suspicion between the doll and the gods gradually intensified in their defense. The once pious belief was stained with filth, the simple loyalty was blinded by suspicion, and the foundation of the prosperous kingdom was faintly shaken. Then one day, a rumor that came from nowhere flourished in the kingdom of Zunou, causing the entire kingdom to boil and crazy.

"The Son of God is reincarnated for a hundred years, and I don't know who passed it on," Mr. Yori shook the ashes and said, "It is said that after eating the flesh and blood of the Son of God, people can cure all kinds of diseases and live forever, and dolls can regenerate bones and transform into adults... You said, will you be moved when you hear such rumors?"

"..." Xiaodai glared at the moment - what rhythm is this? The puppet version of Tang Monk's meat?!

Fei Rong also felt a little creepy, "Are they planning to cook the Son of God for eating?"

Lin Yingkong thought, "The gods gained power through faith, and the kingdom of Zun Ou has lost his faith in the Son of God. If such rumors spread, he should give up the kingdom of Zun Ou, right?"

"No," said Mr. Yori, "until the last moment, the Son of God did not give up his people."

He is the king of the kingdom of puppets, and their god. Even though many people and dolls covet his flesh and blood have gathered around his temple, his heart still has not wavered. He tried every point of his strength to persuade them, hoping that they could return to the peaceful and peaceful life in the past. But once the crack was created, how could it be smoothed out at will? The desire for life and the fear of death can always stimulate many people to do irrational behavior. I don’t know who took the lead in attacking Wen Yan advised their Son of God. From then on, the crazy craze was opened, and everyone rushed in like a lost mind. Day after day, day after day, even God could not resist the thousands of people who wanted to eat him like an ant colony, and the dolls - not to mention, this is a god who was unwilling to attack his people.

"So, is the Son of God dead?" Feng Rong asked.

"Well," Uncle Yori nodded heavily, "eat alive and peel it alive, and tens of thousands of people share the food."

The tone of just eight words is not heavy, but it can easily shake the soul - I heard too many stories about gods destroying the kingdom, but the opposite is even more heartbreaking.

"After the death of the Son of God, those dolls began to weaken regardless of whether they had eaten his flesh or not, as if the death of the Son of God had taken back all the lives he had given. Those who ate the flesh and blood of the gods did not have any magical changes. People began to panic, worried that the killing of the god would be punished by God..."

Perhaps there was indeed God's punishment. The God's servant, who was completely loyal to the Son of God, was furious for his passing and led his army to flatten the kingdom of Zun's whom they once dedicated. At the same time, the dolls began to gather together to kill all the humans who mastered the craftsmanship of their making. No one knew how tragic the three-way battle was. He only knew that the ending was the tragic victory of the God's servant. The prosperous country was destroyed. Only those who were struggling to build a few pitiful villages far away from the ruins. From then on, they no longer made a living by making dolls. The God's servant brought his remaining army to seclude in the place where the temple was located, and finally formed the current village of Zun's servant, and warned all the remains of Zun's country not to get close to there.

"We don't dare to go there now, and there are very few people in Zunyu Village. Anyway, I have only seen me for a few times until now." Mr. Yori sighed.
