wild trail

Chapter 213 Stories ([-])

The allure of iron is too great. Even if you can't make a weapon made of fine steel, it is a good choice to make an iron pot after melting, which is also a good choice for cooking.

But now less than half a month has passed since the impact. After repeated thinking, Wang Lang still gave up the idea of ​​going to take a look. After all, if you have a life to make money, you also have to spend money.

The training of the army continues every day, and the current phalanx is already in good shape. As long as it goes through a war, it can become a team capable of fighting.

He couldn't go to the place of the meteorite for the time being, so Wang Lang cast his eyes on the familiar yet unfamiliar forest.

For such a long time, only a small part of this forest has been explored. Wang Lang is very curious about what is hidden in it.

Wang Lang decided to explore this wild world where horror and opportunity coexist.

After making up his mind, Wang Lang called Lin Huo and Kong Yi over.

"Tomorrow, the two of you will pick 20 soldiers each, and gather outside the gate in the morning," Wang Lang said.

"Chief, did something happen?" Kong Yi asked in surprise.

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go deep into that forest. I've been here for so long, and I'm still not familiar with our old neighbors at all."

Hearing this, Kong Yi showed hesitation on his face, and said to Wang Lang: "Boss, what's there to explore in a forest, and it's extremely dangerous, that's where the two big snakes came out."

"Why, you're scared!" Wang Lang stared at Kong Yi firmly.

Being stared at by Wang Lang, Kong Yi said with a guilty conscience: "I'm not afraid, I just don't think it's necessary to do this. Now there is nothing lacking in the tribe, why take this risk!"

Wang Lang glanced at Kong Yi with a half-smile, then looked at Lin Huo, and asked, "Huo, what's your opinion?"

Lin Huo didn't answer Wang Lang's words, but instead asked: "Lang, why do you have to explore this forest?"

"You think the tribe is doing well now, but I don't think it's enough. In my eyes, everything is not worth mentioning now. I want to let the tribe live a better life. Why do I call the tribes in the west barbarians? It is because we are better than them, although we are not savages who eat human flesh and blood, nor do we need living people to sacrifice to gods, but today’s tribes still belong to the category of barbarians in my eyes, and I want to change this.” Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Lin Huo and the others frowned when they heard the words. They both knew that barbarians were very harsh words, and they both felt a little uncomfortable when they heard their leader comment on their tribe.

"Boss, why is our tribe the same as the Raging Fire tribe? They can do nothing but grow some potatoes, but they are better than those savages in the east who have nothing. Our tribe is so powerful, and they can have everything they want. How could it be that?" Barbarians!" Kong Yi retorted.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "Don't get excited, just listen to me slowly."

Seeing the frowns of the two, Wang Lang shook his head and smiled wryly, "You also know that the word barbarian is a derogatory term for other tribes, but do you really understand the meaning of this term?"

The two looked at Wang Lang blankly, not knowing what an insulting word meant, this immediately aroused their interest, and wanted to hear how Wang Lang explained this word.

"Before we talk about the barbarians, let's talk about what civilization is. Civilization means that a tribe must inherit, such as the belief in gods, and the inheritance of knowledge. We are no longer like those wild beasts on the grassland. We have Your own tribe, with your own beliefs, and even your own writing, these are all part of civilization, you may think, the tribes in the west, besides writing, also have these, do they have civilization too?"

The two nodded their heads half-understood, expressing that they really thought so.

Wang Lang smiled and continued: "There are so many of them. It's just that we have changed from animals to humans. It's not considered civilized. Our tribe now has the concept of family, knowing the seniority and inferiority, and knowing what to do." It should not be done, this is etiquette, and etiquette has allowed us to take a small step towards civilization, but look at us, we are still surrounded by straw, we can be said to be naked, so what is the difference from animals."

Speaking of this, Kong Yi asked in bewilderment: "Boss, we can't wrap our whole bodies in straw! It's so hot!"

Hearing this, Wang Lang couldn't help laughing: "Who said it was all surrounded by straws? You all know that I was guided by the gods before. The gods asked me to distinguish what is civilization and what is barbarism. At the beginning, the gods created two scenes Let me see, I saw one of the tribes, in order to sacrifice to the gods they believed in, killed people, filled their skulls with blood as sacrifices, and their bodies were eaten by those people, those slaves waiting to die , with a face full of fear, when the god asked me what I thought, I shook my head, saying that I didn’t have any special thoughts, now I’m asking you, what would you think when you see this situation.”

Lin Huo and the others frowned and thought about Wang Lang's words. After thinking for a long time, Lin Huo said, "I don't know why. I think it's wrong to do this. Only slaves are useful if they are alive, and the gods need blood for what."

Kong Yi also said: "Yes, if the gods want delicious food, we can sacrifice the best food of the tribe to the gods. There is no need to waste such a good old Li!"

"You think so now. If you used to think like me, I guess you would have the same thought. It's not a big problem to eat people when you're about to starve to death, let alone execute a slave." Wang Lang said slowly.

The two were taken aback for a moment, recalling their previous selves, it was really possible to have such an idea, and then nodded.

Lin Huo asked in confusion: "Lang, what's going on here?"

"Don't worry, listen to me, the next thing." Wang Lang said with a smile.

The two nodded and listened carefully to what Wang Lang said.

"The gods erased the previous scene and showed me a new one. The people of that tribe did not kill slaves to sacrifice, but wore bright and beautiful clothes, gathered together with happiness on their faces, and danced. Jumping, with some mysterious songs in their mouths, they carried the baskets containing food and flowers, placed them on a high altar, and prayed to the gods for the happiness of the tribe. They had no slaves, and their leader claimed to be the son of heaven. , God is the god in their eyes, and the god asked me what I think, although I can't say it, but if I have to choose, I will choose the second tribe." Wang Lang said slowly.

After listening to Wang Lang's story carefully, the two of them were extremely shocked. Is there really such a tribe in this world?

"Lang, do you mean that the first tribe is barbarians, and the second tribe is civilization?" Lin Huo asked.
