"No, you don't even know the Queen Mother?"
Li Wei was confused and subconsciously asked, "What about the Jade Emperor? Have you ever heard of him?"
Qin Lan continued to shake her head, her face full of confusion.
Li Wei didn't believe it and continued to ask, "What about Nezha?"
Qin Lan continued to shake her head.
"Monkey? The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong!"
She jumped up, stood on one foot on the bed, scratched the back of her left hand with her right hand, and made faces, imitating the classic expressions of Liu Xiao Ling Tong that she had seen in her previous life.
"You should know this, right?"
Qin Lan became increasingly bewildered. She climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged facing Li Wei. After trying to think without success, she asked, "Are these... famous TV characters you're talking about?"
"Sorry, I don't pay much attention to that."
Li Wei stood on the bed, her head buzzing.
Only then did she gradually calm down.
[Fuck! I've traveled through time, how come there are gods from my previous life here?]
[This is empiricism...]
[Hiss! But why did that strange woman in my dream react so strongly when I mentioned the Jade Emperor and the Three Pure Ones?]
Judging from her behavior at the time, she obviously knew about these gods...
[Ah, so annoying, I miss Lao Gu... If he were here, I wouldn't need to bother with this...]
A light bulb went off in Li Wei's head, and she suddenly had a bold guess.
[Could it be that the jade-faced woman is also a time traveler? ]
But then, she denied herself again, [I'm not writing a novel, where do so many time travelers come from?]
[Even if there is, could it just happen to be a fellow Earthling?]
Li Wei laughed and sat back on the bed. She looked at Qin Lan, who was two or three meters away. After thinking for a moment, she asked seriously:
"Sister Qin, you... ahem, I mean, what kind of gods are there in the myths and legends of our Chinese country?"
This question actually stumped Qin Lan.
She kept chewing on the word "immortal" as if it was very unfamiliar to her.
After more than ten seconds, she came to her senses and asked, "Are you talking about 'God'?"
[Oh my God?]
Li Wei felt that her thinking patterns were completely different from Qin Lan's.
She blinked, looking silly and a little cute.
Qin Lan looked at Li Wei's confused expression and suddenly felt that the girl in front of her had become more real, no longer that powerful and mysterious symbol.
She smiled and explained.
"I think 'God' is actually a form of worship of nature by the ancients."
"When I was growing up in the village, there was a dilapidated temple on the back hill where the deity 'God' was enshrined."
"But after the abyss descended, almost no one believed it anymore."
"My grandma always said that it's better to believe in Wuxianren than to believe in these unreliable people."
......
Perhaps thinking of the strange names Li Wei had just mentioned, she smiled helplessly and couldn't help but remind her.
"You, don't take TV shows or cartoons seriously. They're all made up."
This time it was Li Wei's turn to be confused. She asked blankly, "Just one God?"
Qin Lan thought about it and shook her head: "Not really, there are also Buddha and Bodhisattva."
"What Buddha? What Bodhisattva?" Li Wei widened her almond-shaped eyes with anticipation.
[Yes, my martial arts title is "Little Bodhisattva", proving that there are Bodhisattvas in this world.]
[Furthermore, the understanding of Bodhisattvas here is very similar to that on Earth.]
[After all, it’s about saving people from suffering...]
As a result, Li Wei's question stumped Qin Lan again. She scratched her head and asked, "Buddha is Buddha, and Bodhisattva is Bodhisattva?"
Li Wei had never felt that communication between people was so difficult.
She was silent for a few seconds, then tried to explain and give examples. "Bodhisattva is a fruition, so shouldn't there be a prefix to represent the status? For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Great Dream... ahem, anyway, it has to have a name."
Qin Lan shook her head violently and said firmly: "Bodhisattva is Bodhisattva, it has no name."
Li Wei was skeptical and asked, "Are there churches in the West?"
Qin Lan nodded, "Yes."
Li Wei bared her teeth, clinging to a last glimmer of hope: "What do they believe in?"
Qin Lan's answer was still decisive: "Believe in the Holy Light!"
[Holy Light, are you playing World of Warcraft or Diablo?]
[Should the knights also shout "Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting" before charging?]
[I fucking...]
Li Wei held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Where is God? Where is Jesus Christ? Where is the Virgin Mary?"
"Never heard of it." Qin Lan shook her head again.
Li Wei waved her hands weakly and fell headfirst onto the pillow.
"Sister Qin, you are tired too, go to bed quickly..."
......
When the barracks became quiet again, Qin Lan's breathing gradually became steady.
Li Wei wrapped herself in a thin blanket and opened her eyes.
Her mind raced in the darkness.
The mythology of a civilization evolves over time, from the most primitive nature worship and totem worship to ancestor worship, and finally gradually forms a complete and hierarchical system of gods and immortals.
[This world seems to still be stuck at the primitive level of nature worship or totem worship...]
This is absolutely not normal!
[It's been almost two months since I traveled through time, and I didn't even notice...]
The more Li Wei thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
