Chapter 144 Man and God
"That's your fate. You're a parrot. Your race is naturally gifted with the talent of 'mimicry'. There's nothing we can do about it. It's a racial advantage!"
Green Hair: “…”
It is the best among them, no wonder the old deer can't beat it.
Green Hair didn't regret winning, he was just worried that Old Deer would have a knot in his heart, which would be detrimental to his practice.
Seeing that the old deer was fine, it put its heart at ease and went to celebrate happily with Tang Xiaolian and her grandson.
Yang Xiangwei stood for a while and returned to the temple.
When the old deer, the sika deer couple, and the white cub appeared in front of Yang Xiangwei, He recognized them at a glance - isn't this the white deer of the future?
Huh?
This world...will it also revive mythology in the future?
Yang Xiangwei's eyes flashed, and she asked the cub to step forward.
The little cub blinked its dark deer eyes, which showed innocence and cuteness as clear as spring water. Although it was a little timid, it inexplicably felt that the scent of Yang Xiangwei made it very comfortable. With the encouragement of its parents, it bravely came to Yang Xiangwei.
Yang Xiangwei hugged it and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are so cute, what is your name?"
【in vain……】
"So your name is Bai Bai, even your name is so cute, no wonder I like you so much. It's okay in the future, let your parents take you to the temple to play, okay?"
【Uh-huh! 】
The little cub rubbed against Yang Xiangwei's arms, tried to lift its hooves, and then the whole deer shrank into Yang Xiangwei's arms, looking at him with eyes full of dependence.
The sika deer couple standing nearby: "..."
Oh, boy!
That's the mountain god, take it easy!
Yang Xiangwei looked up and gave the sika deer couple a few words, telling them that the cub was very healthy and that they just needed to raise it as usual. When they had time, they could send it to the temple more often, which would be good for its cultivation.
After they left, Lord Shuhe asked doubtfully, "Mother Goddess, that deer...wasn't it really created by you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Yang Xiangwei wondered if he had noticed something.
The River God said uncertainly, "I feel... there seems to be a divine light on it! Am I seeing things?"
"You are not mistaken. There is indeed divine light in its body, but it still has a long way to go before it can become a true god."
Lord Shuhe was certain that this cub named Lubai was indeed created by his mother goddess.
But he didn't understand. The Mother Goddess's territory was so small that he and Bai Guo were enough. Why did she have to create Lu Bai?
It's so small, and I don't know how many years it will take for it to grow up. Will it be useful?
Yang Xiangwei did not explain, but told him a mythological story called "The Nine-Colored Deer".
"It is said that a long time ago, on the deserted beach next door, a group of merchants encountered sandstorms and lost their way.
At this time, a nine-colored deer appeared and pointed out the direction for them. Unfortunately, a snake charmer in the caravan did not keep his promise not to tell others and told the king of that country about it.
Unexpectedly, after the queen heard about it, she wanted to use the skin of the Nine-Colored Deer to make clothes. The snake charmer was greedy for profit and deliberately fell into the water again for the king's high reward. He was rescued by the Nine-Colored Deer.
At this moment, the warriors who had been waiting here fired thousands of arrows at once. The Nine-Colored Deer then realized that this was a trap. It emitted a divine light from its body, turning all the sharp arrows into ashes..."
After hearing this story, Lord Ruhe was thoughtful.
Just when Yang Xiangwei thought he would have some realization, he said, "Humans are so selfish!"
Yang Xiangwei:? ? ? ?
Isn’t the protagonist of this story the Nine-Colored Deer?
“Hmph!” Lord Shuhe snorted coldly and said, “The king offered a reward to others to help him capture the Nine-Colored Deer just because the queen wanted its skin. The snake charmer was willing to sell out his savior for money… If the Nine-Colored Deer hadn’t been capable, it would have been killed by them! Gods, you shouldn’t trust humans too much. Just like humans themselves said, those who are not of our race must have different hearts.”
Wait, what did you say? Yang Xiangwei was surprised: "If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different?"
What position does Lord Ruhe God put himself in?
"Isn't it? Humans pray to gods only because they have something to ask of them. When they have nothing to ask of gods, will they still be so respectful as they are now?" said Lord Luhe. "Just like before, they knew that monsters were not good things, but they still worshipped monsters as gods in order to survive. They were deceitful and self-deceiving, as long as they were not the ones sacrificed."
Yang Xiangwei: “…”
It seems like he has led Lord Shuihe God astray?
I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't explain it.
After all, Lord Shuhe was right. The relationship between humans and gods was not that pure. Humans prayed to gods because they had something to ask for. Once gods could not satisfy their needs...
"well……"
Yang Xiangwei sighed heavily. This is also the reason why many gods and Buddhas in the world are unwilling to follow the path of incense and worship.
Because the path of incense is a shortcut, but it is also a constraint.
The incense of human beings can send you to the altar, but once they turn against you, they can also destroy your temple, crush your statues, and make all your previous efforts vanish.
When there is no one in this world who believes in you or worships you anymore, your existence has no value, and you are not far from disappearing into oblivion.
The River God thought that Yang Xiangwei's "sigh" was an agreement with him, and continued: "Mother Goddess, you must be on guard against others. You should not trust humans too much in the future. You still have to be careful."
"I used to be a human too!"
In one sentence, Lord Luhe was confused.
What did the Mother Goddess say? !
Was He also a human being? !
How is this possible? !
Yang Xiangwei said, "My situation is different from yours. You were created by me. I gave you a soul and a godhood. You were a god from birth. But I am different. I am a human being. I cultivated myself into a god little by little. I understand what you meant when you said that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. I also know that what you said is not completely wrong, but I hope... you can see with your own eyes and truly feel whether humans are really that scary?"
He persuaded Lord Shuhe that he should spend more time in the human world when he has time, see more, hear more, and experience more. When one day he understands what it means, he will also understand why He protects humans and why He became a god from a human.
Of course, He didn't force it.
He will go whenever he is ready.
The world is big and there are many beautiful sights, and he should go and see them all.
Lord Shuhe stood there, not coming back to his senses for a long time. Because the bomb thrown by Yang Xiangwei scared him.
How can a human become a god? !
Is it so easy to become a god through cultivation?
If a person can cultivate to become a god, then what is he?
For the first time, Lord Shuhe was not in a hurry to find Yang Xiangwei.
For the first time, Lord Shuhe, who always followed Yang Xiangwei like a shadow, walked alone in the mountains, wandering around like a ghost.
The ginkgo tree god was shocked when he received the news.
