Yuki didn't know that this kind of thing had happened many times in history.
Injurious beasts, senseless natural disasters, and even bullies who caused trouble are remembered by people in various forms. Perhaps at the beginning, it was just the parents who wanted to use stories to leave a "lesson" to their children.
, but soon, customs will form, and then transform and become sacred.
I don’t know how many gods and saints in the minds of future generations were actually just murderers and arsonists during their lifetimes.
This has happened many times before and is happening now.
"But..." Yuki pointed to the stick stuck at the entrance of the town, "Why would they show respect to that stick?"
“At the beginning, maybe I just wanted to use this thing to scare some green forests from other places.” Six Days Thought: “Starting from three years ago, the local green forests were shaved off over and over again in the battle between the government and the knights.
It has long been unable to make any waves... Maybe they feel that the effect of this stick is quite obvious, and they have developed a respect for this stick?"
Youki was stunned: "How is this possible? The owner of this stick was beaten to death in front of them! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Ah!" Liuri pointed at Yuki, "Sure enough, at this time you..."
"What?" Han Zhun was the only one here, "What are you talking about? Silver transmission shaft Leif? Isn't that a famous green forest tycoon? He was killed three years ago? No wonder he went to look at the wanted list
When there was no one... How do you know it so well? You are indeed knights!"
Now that Sixth Day realized that "Unknown Senior killed the Silver Drive Shaft Leif", he was satisfied. In his heart, Unknown Senior was a great hero, a great hero, and a great knight who could kill even the Moon Ranger.
, Grand Master, it is not surprising to kill someone who is on the Tiger List. He just knows a little bit about this senior’s past.
He said to Yuki: "People will selectively forget this kind of thing. You have to know that there is always a deep-rooted illusion in the human heart, which is called 'everything is connected', and 'this connection must be certain'"
Based on one and the same truth'."
Youki couldn't believe it. In fact, Xiangshan also said something similar to him. However, Xiangshan's evaluation at the time was, "Human beings have created a scientific paradigm based on such nihilistic delusions. If you think about it carefully, it's quite remarkable."
But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid this is the more common form of this "empty delusion".
Human beings often associate two unrelated things together, thinking that "they are mysteriously connected", and then write down this pattern and never forget it.
Sometimes, two different things that people think are related may actually be directly related, or they may be different "effects" of the same "cause", and there is such an indirect connection between the two. (For example,
"The incidence of malaria is high in a certain area" and "the incidence of diabetes is low in this area" are both the result of "poverty", not "malaria can cure/alleviate diabetes".)
But more often than not, different things that are thought to be related may not really have even an indirect connection, and are just coincidences.
For example, concepts like "lucky color".
But human beings inevitably like to seek an explanation for things that they cannot understand at the moment.
Some scientific research knights believe that in ancient times, individuals who could quickly associate "the rustling of grass" with "the approach of a top carnivorous big cat" had a greater competitive advantage under the natural selection of evolution.
People in this small town feel that since the stick was planted at the entrance of the town, there have been less green forests.
They don't know the turbulent situation in the world in the past three years, they don't know what happened to Duke Xinglin, and they don't know that King Agni once defeated the Rangers.
In their view, "sticks are stuck" and "there are fewer green forests" are two related things.
So, they respected the stick.
As for "the previous owner of that stick was beaten to death", it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
It is not that difficult for a person to have two contradictory beliefs in his mind at the same time and to accept both.
Just don't think too much.
But Yuki is a person who loves to think too much. He can't accept it at all.
"Why?" he said, "It's obviously the master...he...he..."
"'Master'?" Han Zhun heard an unusual word again.
The corners of Yuki's mouth twisted. This was the only part of his expression that could be expressed.
He didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. The boy no longer pointed at the stick with his finger, but stamped his feet: "Damn, what's the point of coming here? Are you causing trouble for yourself?"
With that said, he walked directly into the town.
Six Days shrugged. The Earth-Drilling Dragons built their communities on the basis of family, so he received a complete youth education. His great-great-grandfather paid great attention to the saying of "overcoming superstition" in Wu Zu's philosophy. When he was a child, he often talked with his brothers
The sisters lay together and listened to their ancestors talk about the past and the origins of these "superstitions".
Learn from history.
In fact, Yuki came back early. If he comes back more than ten years later, then the people here will selectively forget about the silver drive shaft. Then, in their eyes, this stick will become "just plug it in".
A magic item that can guarantee that the green forest will never come again.
In an era when the logic of "witchcraft" still existed in human minds, many magical rituals were formed by humans in this way - even though these things were of no use in the material world.
Then, various stories will be attached to the stick. These things are like sand and dust in human collective consciousness, gradually forming sedimentary rocks in the sea of the soul-if this process is not forcibly terminated by the government.
Of course, it is also possible that a group of green woods forcibly interrupted this process. Of course, when the "magic" bubble is popped, people will find that there is nothing inside the bubble. The stick will be quickly forgotten.
By that time, Youki may be even more unable to accept it.
Youki said nothing, and Han Zhen kept following up, asking questions about various things. Soon, they came to the edge of the copper sugar crop planting area.
But at this time, gunfire rang out.
Han Zhun jumped and lay down on the ground skillfully. His prosthetic body rate was relatively low, but he could not withstand this kind of torture.
Yuki looked at the place where the gunshot sounded in confusion.
They were several young men. The leader was holding a semi-automatic rifle, pointing the muzzle at the sky, and yelling: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
