Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 166 Human Beings Are Human
I still didn't understand what Zhu Jiuyin meant, what Rochinade was doing now.Looking in the direction he was pointing, he realized that he was pointing in the direction of the statue.Could it be that Rochinade tried to absorb the power of faith ten thousand years ago.

"Are you saying that Rochinade is responsible for the weirdness here?" I looked at Zhu Jiuyin and asked.

"I can't guarantee it, but he did do this ten thousand years ago." Zhu Jiuyin said, "Our era was a society where tribes lived in groups. Every tribe has its own totem, and we worship the totem, The totem absorbs the power of our faith and becomes stronger to protect the tribe. The protected tribe grows stronger and worships the totem more devoutly. This forms a virtuous circle.”

"Since this is the case, Rochinade's creation of totems is also in line with the characteristics of your era." Alina asked strangely, "This kind of thing should not be a special thing in your era."

"That's different. Originally, each of our tribes had their own totems. Although there were struggles among the tribes, they were all benign struggles. Mutual consumption and mutual stimulation. Until one day, Rochinade appeared. He He appeared in the major tribes as a god descending into the world. He ordered the people of the tribes to worship him as a totem." Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but gritted his teeth when he said this.It seems to recall the extremely shameful thing, "Of course we can't change our totems at will, but Rochinade's power is extremely powerful. The most powerful warrior in the tribe is powerless in front of him. In the end, the first A tribe that was invaded invited a totem beast. But even the totem beast that guarded the tribe was defeated by Rochinade. After the first battle, Rochinade spread throughout the continent like a plague. More than a dozen large and small tribes were occupied by him and had to worship him."

"After that, you were wiped out by his group like this?" I said in disbelief, this is the rhythm of a person slaughtering the mainland.

"Of course it won't be that simple. Soon the largest tribes at the time realized the threat of Rochinade. In the end, several major tribes united and formed an army to attack Rochinade. It was an unimaginable war , Our bones filled the sea and piled up into high mountains. At that time, the main color point on the earth turned into a cruel bright red. The power of Rochinade is beyond imagination, but it is also necessary to completely destroy us at that time. Impossible. In the end, we finally invited those four supreme existences and totem gods—Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu." When talking about these four names, it is obvious that Zhu Jiu There was a burst of flush on Yin Yin's face, as if just mentioning these names was an honor.Just like the Red Guards patted their chests and proudly said that Lao Tzu was a soldier of the Communist Party, "The totems worshiped by the tribe also have their own gods. When these four gods came to the world, the weapons in our soldiers' hands were dyed golden. Brilliance, the dawn of the east has broken through the thousand-year darkness that has shrouded the sky, and wherever the divine light shines, it is our land."

The last sentence, Zhu Jiuyin, was not spoken in Chinese, but a complex language.Although I can't understand it, I can hear the grandeur and heroism of an epic, and the beauty of the melody like the sound of nature.In front of my eyes, I seemed to see endless banners stretching to the end of the sky. The bright red of the battlefield was shrouded in golden brilliance, exuding a holy and tenacious color.At this moment, I forgot the resentment and defense against Zhu Jiuyin, and was completely brought into the situation of that era by his words.It seems that standing under such a sky, being able to look up at the miracle is a passionate thing.

"After that? Rochinade must be killed. If it can't be killed like this, then I'm too sorry for such awesome special effects." I was stunned for a long time before I said.

"At first we also thought that Rochinade was killed. But we were too naive, how could Rochinade be killed?" Zhu Jiuyin had a miserable smile on his face, "In the end of that battle, the gods The battlefield. The four great totem beasts were killed, and Rochinade disappeared. At first, we thought that the four great totems had died together with this demon. But the good times didn’t last long. What was killed was nothing more than a skin. Soon the tribes who were forced to worship Rochinade at first changed, and they began to doubt axiom and justice. After losing their totem, they were like lost Lambs, among the countless totems, they are like aliens who don't fit in. Their conflicts with the surrounding tribes continue to escalate, and soon evolved into an endless war. In the past, wars were purposeful, or Fighting for territory, or fighting for resources. But after that, the fighting became a fighting for war. We think they are heretics, but they think Rochinade is the truth of the world, and we are stubborn, Instead, it killed the truth with the power of the devil. Like a plague, Rochinade’s tribes grew more and more on the land, and finally became the mainstream. Only then did I realize that Rochinade De is not dead at all. He is not as simple as a living existence, but a law, a seed, and a disaster. His law is destruction. The tribes he invaded at the beginning were the seeds, which led to the totem beasts. It is the real purpose. What he has to do is to kill the god of the totem. As long as the god of the totem dies, the laws will collapse, and the totems we worship will no longer be restrained. More and more totems will choose to be loyal in the later period Rochinade. Those totems who were willing to be loyal to him, Rochinade turned them into his servants, and those who did not want to be loyal, such as me, were exiled and sealed. Rochinade sealed me Here, he also ordered the tribal fish to devour my body day and night."

"You mean, the disaster of ten thousand years ago is repeating itself." Alina asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Zhu Jiuyin said.

"Then what should we do? You should have a solution! Rochinade has never appeared in our history, which means that he must be eliminated in the end. You must have a solution." I said a little excitedly.After learning about such things, suddenly the end of the world is no longer a illusory prophecy.Undoubtedly, there was such an end of the world ten thousand years ago, but now, the same end of the world is repeating itself, and the truth is suddenly known, but the truth is so helpless and hopeless.It is simply unacceptable, "Help us! Rochinade should also be your enemy, and the enemy of your enemy is your friend. We should be on the same front!"

"Impossible." Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and said, "If it was the tribal era ten thousand years ago, we might be able to stop it if we knew it in advance. But you are too weak now. That and The young man I fought with should be the strongest in your era. Even I can't defeat him, let alone fight against Rochinade. Moreover, how can you, a race that doesn't even have a totem, compete with that There is a confrontation."

"Wait, if you say that, there should be a way. You just think that the executor is incapable, right?" Alina asked suddenly.

"That's right, you are indeed too weak. Although humans are much stronger now than ten thousand years ago, you are still too weak. This is a fact." Zhu Jiuyin said.

"Then what are you doing here now? Are you here to see the jokes of the two humans who have witnessed the truth of the doomsday?" I yelled at Zhu Jiuyin with a burst of unreasonable anger in my heart.

"I don't know what I'm here for, maybe I'm just here to feel sad. Or I want to tell the history of ten thousand years ago before I die. In this world, there are not many people who still remember that history. I don't want to Let this kind of thing be buried by history forever. Human beings, you still have some time. If you can go back smoothly, tell other people about this history." While talking, Zhu Jiuyin's figure gradually faded away, and he wanted to stop here leave.

"Why don't you believe in humans, at least tell us the method, let's try it!" Alina shouted hastily.

"Will you waste time talking to ants about how to slay a dragon?" Zhu Jiuyin's voice drifted in the wind, as if it was about to dissipate.

"You are wrong, the human beings today are no longer the ants in your memory." I said very firmly, "Although we don't have a strong body now, the strength of human beings is not just as simple as the body. survived the catastrophe that happened to you, but you did not, this is the truth! This proves that we are stronger than you! Learning and creation are our strengths, and the planes we make can appear in the world in a few hours In any corner, our [-]-ton giant ship can cross any ocean. Just think, the atomic bomb we made can destroy a city in the blink of an eye. We are not without faith, we believe in ourselves! We are not like you, who are most likely to seek totems Help, when we face hardships, we choose to fight our own way to survive! Do you know why you were all wiped out ten thousand years ago, but human beings survived tenaciously? Let me tell you, the reason why human beings are Human beings, in the face of despair, we will open up a path of hope with our own hands, and our totem is ourselves!"

I shouted these words with all my strength, not only my words to persuade Zhu Jiuyin, but also my pride as a human being in my heart, I will not allow him to look at human beings with such contemptuous eyes!
"Oh, human beings seem to be really different from before." After a long silence, Zhu Jiuyin sighed softly in the wind, "Since this is the case, I'm really curious about the possibility of human beings."
