Chapter 37 Faith (All)
The days in the empire can be said to be calm. The real danger is not within the territory of the Tianlong Empire, but the end point after leaving the empire, the Wind God Empire and the Water God Empire, the only way to pass.
Wang Feng had no idea about the Water God Empire and the Wind God Empire, but he had an initial impression of his country based on these two names.
After getting involved in magic, I know that magic is divided into several different systems, and each system can only be exerted by the power of God. In this sense, magic should not be the power that ordinary people in the world can master. It is simply the embodiment of God's will and power through the spokesperson of the magician.
The power of belief in each country is different, which means that the Lord God believes in is also different. Therefore, the name of the country reflects not only the honor of the country, but also fully reflects the respect for God.
However, what Wang Feng didn't understand was the naming of the Tianlong Empire. If the Tianlong Empire believed in dragons, then what is the difference between it and the dragons believed in dragons?
With this question in mind, Wang Feng asked Linda during a camping camp.
Linda has been communicating archery skills with elves archers these days. On the road of daily life, they talk in the language of elves. The language of elves is obscure and difficult to understand. Except for the elves who grew up in the elves, other races do not understand at all.
Because the human race is widely distributed and communicates with all races, the human language has become a common language on the mainland. People of all races can understand the human language.
The communication of elves made everyone who wanted to know what the elves talked about gave up. Linda and these elves shared their different experiences of bows and arrows while chatting and laughing unscrupulously.
Linda receives different training from these people. The training method of the army reflects the killing valve, which emphasizes one-hit killing, which is more practical and reflects the maximum damage. Linda relatively speaking, the attack of bows and arrows is more like a light and empty art.
The main purpose of the elves is to learn Wang Feng's amazingly powerful archery technique. Linda has given it a nice name, called "spirit strike".
The most difficult thing about learning spiritual strikes is not how to control the unique spiritual energy of the elves to rotate in a specific way, but to make these people never think that there is such incredible spiritual power in their bodies to understand and control these powers. Linda started with the help of Wang Feng’s internal power at the beginning. 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 normal alert work every day, they were thinking silently even when walking, trying to find that kind of agility.
All the elves have begun to slowly understand, but Linda has no one to chat with her own race words. However, she is not sad because without the entanglement of these elves, she can even walk with Wang Feng.
On that day, the brigade of men set up camp and rested. Wang Feng saw that there was nothing to do with the left and right. The Wolf Army was practicing each other, and other chores had been arranged. Linda Ruohan was also busy, so he called Bai Xue and sat quietly on a small hill not far from the camp, watching the two moons rising in the sky.
There was a moon that happened to be the full moon. Looking at the round bright moon, Wang Feng felt a sense of homesickness inexplicably. 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. Since his parents died, Wang Feng has no home, let alone family reunion.
He sighed softly, and a faint sound of footsteps came from his ears. Now, the only one who can reach this level in the entire team is Linda, who has practiced light skills.
Seeing Wang Feng staring at the sky from afar, Linda suddenly felt that Wang Feng was helpless now and couldn't help but walk over. In her heart, she only hoped to face everything with Wang Feng, whether it was happy or unhappy.
Sitting down between Bai Xue and Wang Feng, Linda asked softly: "Feng, what are you thinking?" This was the first time Linda faced with him, and did not call Boss Wang Feng, but called his name directly. As soon as he said that, Linda's face was flushed, but she felt a sense of expectation in her heart. She didn't know how Wang Feng would react when he heard this title.
Wang Feng was silently thinking about some things about his hometown in his heart. Suddenly he heard Linda's name, and he was sensitive and immediately heard a strong sense of affection and care from it. A trace of depression immediately disappeared.
Although I left the world I lived and left many friends who shared life and death, I also made many of the same friends in this world. More importantly, a confidante like Linda was silently caring and loving herself. Thinking of this, the unhappiness caused by homesickness was immediately thrown behind.
Wang Feng gently stretched out his left hand, grabbed Linda's right hand, and said nothing. But both of them were filled with a strong sense of affection in their hearts. Linda was even more excited.
He gently touched Bai Xue with his other hand. Bai Xue lay obediently in front of the two of them. Wang Feng said, "I am thinking about some things about my original world."
Linda watched his hands slide from Bai Xue's head to the tip of her tail, and after a while, she spoke, "Can you tell me?"
Wang Feng smiled and said, "Of course, it's OK. But you can answer me a question first." Linda tilted her head and looked at him. Wang Feng smiled and asked the question about the name of the Tianlong Empire.
Linda felt very uncomfortable with one hand in Wang Feng's hand, but in her heart she hoped that Wang Feng's hand would never let go. When she heard Wang Feng's question, she silently sorted out what she knew in her mind and was drunk, and then she slowly spoke up.
Indeed, the names of many countries are related to the Lord God believed in by their royal nobles. For various reasons, the Lord God in each country is different.
Some magicians from royal and noble families have determined that they can practice magic in that category because of their physical constitution. Relatively speaking, the main gods that these people who dominate the country have become the objects of praise for the country.
In addition, in order to maintain the noble nature of blood, the nobles of various countries often intermarried with each other between the upper classes. This led to the fact that after several generations, the mages among the nobles could only practice one-level magic. Therefore, in this country, the main god became even more sacred and irreplaceable. Slowly, these nobles named their own country with the name of the god.
Of course, there is only one country named after the same God, but another country that believes in the same God was dissatisfied with the fact that this country had invaded the divine name, so it launched a multinational war called "righteous name" in later generations.
At that time, dozens of small countries participated in the war, and were divided into several small war zones centered on different gods. The countries in each war zone were competing for the name of the main god they believed in.
After decades of fierce battle, those powerful countries finally gradually annexed the small countries they fought with, forming a larger country, and the war to rectify their reputation gradually came to an end.
However, there were still several small countries in each war zone that were unwilling to fail, so their forces slowly gathered together. Finally, several small countries in several different war zones united to establish a country called Tianlong. Because of the complex members, each war zone believes in various gods and has them. Under the help of their strengths and weaknesses, it has become another force that can compete with the great powers in the name of each main god.
Later, the countries basically calmed down the wars around them. Because they were surrounded by countries named after different gods, they could not find a reason to speak with other countries for a while. After all, there was no war between gods and gods.
The Miscellaneous Army Tianlong Empire had already shown their strength in the later wars. No country dared to underestimate them. Moreover, after decades of war, all empires were exhausted and there was no extra manpower and material resources to support another war. Therefore, several countries sent peace envoys to sign peace treaties one after another, and the pattern on the mainland gradually stabilized to what it is now.
This is also the history of the current Tianlong Empire's success.
After Wang Feng understood this process, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed at this ridiculous war.
Then, I thought of a question: Since this war is a war between human race, how did the peaceful coexistence of various races occur now? Linda didn’t know very clearly about this question, she only knew that since birth, the world was like this, and no one explained it to them. Everyone was familiar with living peacefully with people of different races.
With his head slightly turned and watching Linda gently stroke Baixue, Wang Feng couldn't help asking: "Linda, do you elves have any gods you believe in? I heard that the most powerful magicians are all elves, which one do you believe in?"
Linda turned to look at Wang Feng, and suddenly laughed softly and said, "Feng, if I tell you, the magicians of our elves do not believe in any main god at all, would you believe it?"
Wang Feng said: "Of course I believe that even if you tell me now that the Lord God believes in your elves, I will not be surprised."
Linda looked at Wang Feng, as if she was judging the authenticity of his words. Wang Feng smiled and said, "I never doubt your words."
Linda felt a sense of happiness that she had never had before, and she felt a little light. But she still remembered Wang Feng's problem and continued: "We elves have different beliefs from humans. We do not have any favors to those gods who are above them. None of the elves races worships these gods. We have our own gods."
Wang Feng finally understood that this may be a surprise in different ethnic groups and cultures, and it should be the same as the different beliefs of the Han and Khitans in the original world.
Linda asked curiously at this time, "Feng, do you have gods in your original world?"
"Some, there are many." Wang Feng took the conversation, passed the gods in his image carefully, and then began to tell them slowly.
"We have many gods in our world and many stories about gods. In our world, the gods are not just a few gods with different magical systems here."
"Then what is your God like? Is it the same as ours?"
"Our gods do not only advocate power. Many times, our gods only bless us. There are dragon gods who bless us in good weather, protect one land, there are blessings that make people as bless as the East China Sea, there are wealth that make people rich, and there are birthday stars who make people live longer than the South Mountain. In short, our gods are gods who bless our people in one or more aspects."
He paused and said, "Although many times, the gods did not bring us what we hope for, after all, in his heart, the gods still gave us countless hopes."
Linda said curiously: "Do you don't have the God of Elements? Just like the God of Wind and the God of Water?"
"Yes, we have Grandma Feng who is responsible for the movement of the wind, and there are also Thunderbolt and Lightning Mother who is responsible for the thunder and lightning. There are water gods in charge of all rivers, lakes and seas. The land is dedicated to the management of the soil, so it should be considered a earth god." Wang Feng only remembered at this time that even the gods in his world are not as few as here, which is really interesting.
"Most of the things involved in people's lives are blessed by gods. There are kitchen gods for food, and worship them every year during the Chinese New Year. There are door gods for guards, and there are two. There are children, the concubines for sending children, and Fairy Chang'e, Wu Gang and Yutu who live in the moon palace. Every August Mid-Autumn Festival, they eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon. The moon at that time was like today, big and round." Speaking of this, Wang Feng suddenly felt that his original world was still very exciting.
Linda obviously had never heard of so many new things, especially as a god, who had to take care of these trivial life events of the people on earth, which made the elves living in this world where gods were above and above are very confused.
Wang Feng was excited and explained to Linda what the New Year is in his world and how to celebrate it. What is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, how to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family when he was a child. He also told the story of Houyi and Chang'e.
When Linda heard such a grand festival there, everyone in the world was celebrating it, she couldn't help but yearn for it. And later, such a simple story of two people could also involve the king and queen among the gods, and there were ten days of gods. People could become gods after eating the elixir. Linda couldn't help but be deeply moved by this sad and beautiful 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 to Nuwa creating humans, there are many gods and immortals who can't count it. There are the four emperors, Wenquxing, Wuquxing, the eight-cave gods above, middle and lower, twenty-eight constellations, thirty-six heavenly gangs, and seventy-two earthly evil spirits. There are too many gods that can't count it. According to our legend, every star in the sky is a god, which is not considered other gods that are more famous and not 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 naughty look made people laugh. Then she asked, "So, wind, is there any God in your God who cares about the love between two people?"
Wang Feng said: "Something is in our god, there is a Yue Lao who is in charge of the marriages of all people in the world. From the beginning of birth, Yue Lao tied a red thread to him, and the other end of the red thread is tied to the person in your previous marriage. Therefore, when we control two people’s marriage, we usually say ‘a thousand miles of marriage is tied to one thread’.”
Listening to Wang Feng's words, Linda was a little shy, and maybe she heard too many new things today and couldn't digest them for a while. No longer asked these unfamiliar things, Linda asked her familiar questions: "Then do you have any fighting gods?"
"There are many, Nezha, Tota Heavenly King, Erlang Shen, so many, but we are not divided according to wind, fire, water and earth. Our ancestors had a long time ago, and the gods sometimes ranked according to this. However, you probably wouldn't understand these."
Linda was very curious and insisted on letting him explain it clearly. Wang Feng had to patiently tell him the changes in the mutual generation and restraint of the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements that he had learned from medicine. Unexpectedly, after just speaking for a while, Linda was already screaming that she couldn't understand.
Wang Feng smiled at Linda who suddenly became naughty, his heart was filled with the cute face of this little fairy. He understood that because of the recent series of things, she was afraid that she would have something to be unhappy, so she deliberately teased herself and made herself happy.
Linda looked at Wang Feng and looked at herself with a smile, her face immediately turned red, 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 stories.
"In our place, people can become immortals, that is, they become gods." Looking at Linda's surprised gaze, Wang Feng said: "Many of our gods are transformed by people through cultivation. Perhaps the gods in our place are more pity for all living beings in the world than yours, and they also give people more opportunities than the gods here."
In Linda's memory from childhood to adulthood, there has never been a history of no one being able to become a god. Although the elves do not believe in the magic gods of humanity, there are also gods. If they want to jump from an ordinary elves to become gods, the elves dare not even think about it. How could they be so disrespectful to God?
No matter how surprised Wang Feng’s statement was, the smart elves heard something from Wang Feng’s words and asked: “The God you said loves all living beings in the world. Can other non-humans become gods?”
"Of course, not only people can do it, but everything in the world can do it." After touching Baixue, he continued: "If I hadn't come to this world with him, Baixue might have become a demon immortal there."
Suddenly, when he heard another monster, something that he didn't understand, Linda was so big. However, since she could bring the word "Immortal" that it means that Bai Xue's level should not be as simple as an ordinary monster. She suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Bai Xue is so powerful, it turns out that she is almost becoming an immortal."
When Bai Xue heard it, she looked up and looked at them, whined a few times, and lowered her head again.
With his fair little hand stretched out and touched Bai Xue's smooth fur, Linda asked, "Wind, which god do you admire the most in your world?"
Obviously, he didn't expect Linda's problem. Wang Feng thought for a while before saying, "I don't know, when I was young, I learned medical treatment with my father. At that time, the gods I admired the most were Shennong, Bian Que, and Hua Tuo. They were all saints of medical treatment, saving lives and helping the wounded, and countless living people were alive. But when my parents died, I came to my wolf army. At that time, I didn't have those gods who bless all living beings in my heart, only two words."
He cared about everything about Wang Feng, so Linda asked in a hurry: "What word?"
The light in Wang Feng's eyes flashed and he said word by word: "Xu-Luo!" As the two words were spoken, the wind around seemed to pause, and the solemn and slaughtered on all sides. Bai Xue also felt something, jumped up and whined a few times, looked around, the white wolf head scanned left and right, and the grass around him felt the pressure. The two of them fell toward all sides with one wolf as the center.
Linda suddenly had a cold war, leaned against Wang Feng, and said worriedly: "Feng, don't do this."
Wang Feng let out a long breath, his emotions stabilized, and Bai Xue slowly fell to his 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 listen to me?" Wang Feng asked softly, and Linda nodded hurriedly.
"I came out of the military camp and after taking revenge, I never killed anyone. The most common period of time was to travel around the world and collect herbs along the way to save people. I had no pursuit or pressure. It can be said that it was my most free time. During those days, I had no faith and no gods in my heart."
He stopped and continued, "Then I came here. What I heard were all kinds of magic races and things I had never seen before. At that time, I was thinking that it was God who was punishing me and letting me go to this strange world, and I would never go back from now on."
Looking at Linda, Wang Feng smiled and said, "It was not until recently that 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 gave me so many friends, and most importantly, I found the woman on the other end of my red line. I think, from the day I was born, the Moon Master has tied my red line to you."
After hearing Wang Feng's direct confession, Linda's face turned red and she shrank into Wang Feng's arms with a moan. Wang Feng looked at the beautiful elf and hugged her hands tighter, but she felt that she had never felt before.
The camp in the distance had been arranged, and the two people who were snuggling were not affected at all. Hearing a sound of footsteps coming from there, seeing the situation here, the man's footsteps also stopped and turned back with tactfulness.
Wang Feng could hear that it was a former dragon cavalry. Although he wanted to know what he was going to say, he really didn't want to destroy the warm feeling in front of him, so Wang Feng did not get up.
It is probably nothing big. Whether these members of the Wolf Army are the original dragoons or the newly joined elves archers, they have undergone strict military training. If there is something important, they probably won't let themselves and Linda continue.
The warm feeling does not last long. Although my subordinates are very sensible, there are always some good things that are not sensible to disturb others.
It was also a bit of Wang Feng's super-human ears. A disharmonious sound suddenly came from the slight heartbeat of the two of them. It was from a forest far away from the camp.
Bai Xue felt very sensitive too. Her ears stood up, her head turned around, and she stared at that direction and whined a few times.
Linda also noticed something strange from Bai Xue's unusual movements, poked her head from Wang Feng's arms, and asked, "What's wrong, Feng?"
Chapter completed!
