For the Stonemen, returning to their ancestors, every Stoneman has a chance. It's just a matter of whether they are willing or not, and it's just a matter of how they choose to live their lives.
However, semi-return to ancestors is different. Half-return to ancestors requires very strong strength and reaches a very high level. Only then can you have the conditions and strength to become semi-return to ancestors.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the stone people's semi-revelation is a kind of dust sealing. Of course, this kind of dust sealing is more mysterious than the dust sealing methods of various tribes.
Of course, it is not easy for a strong person from the Stoneman Tribe to wake up again once he has half-returned to his ancestors. Most of the strong people who are half-returned to their ancestors will not wake up easily. After all, once they wake up, they will not be able to wake up again. A semi-return to one’s ancestors would be even more difficult, and might even cost a lot of money.
After Shiwawa paid homage to his elders, he took Li Qiye into his house.
In this village, Shiwawa has become the only person who has not returned to his ancestors. From a human perspective, Shiwawa is the only living person in this village.
Therefore, the house where the stone doll lives is also very simple, with no other things except the necessary things. In such a stone house, although it is deserted, it also looks clean.
After Li Qiye settled down, Shiwawa was busy bringing out delicious food for Li Qiye. After a while, hot rice and marinated meat were served.
"I rarely eat on weekdays, so there is nothing delicious at home." Shiwawa was embarrassed and scratched his head. Li Qiye chose so many stones for him, and he was still very grateful in his heart.
"It's okay." Li Qiye smiled. Even if it was a simple meal, he could still eat it with gusto.
However, Shiwawa had no interest in food. He sat aside with his chin in his hands and looked at Li Qiye with a pair of bright eyes.
"Young Master's ability to distinguish stones is so strong, why don't you become a mason? I think the master stonemasons of those sects are not as good as Young Master." Shiwawa said curiously.
He had seen Li Qiye's ability to pick stones and admired him very much.
"Not interested." Li Qiye smiled, shook his head slightly, and said casually: "That's not my ambition."
"So that's it." Hearing Li Qiye's words, Shiwawa could not help but feel a little regretful, and said: "The status of a master stonemason is very noble. There were masters of stonemason who came to our weathering canyon before, and they were always cheered and supported. Majestic.”
Li Qiye smiled and ate slowly.
After a while, Li Qiye looked at the stone doll and said with a faint smile: "What about you, what are your plans? Are you going to return to your ancestors like the people in your village, or do you have other ideas?"? "I, I haven't decided yet." Shiwawa was a little shy, scratched his head, and said: "In our Weathering Canyon, everyone actually has two choices, either to go to petrification, or to find someone who is compatible with him and get married. I haven’t decided yet about having a baby.”
Most of the descendants of the Stone People have embarked on the road to return to their ancestors. However, the Stone People do not prohibit the reproduction of their descendants. Even if their own descendants want to get married and have children and reproduce from generation to generation, if the elders of the Stone People are still alive, Will still support it.
Just like a village like Shiwawa, if he no longer gets married, has children, and reproduces, then his village will be abandoned from now on, unless other stone people move here in the future.
Of course, if the stone dolls get married and have children in the future, and their descendants multiply, then the incense of their village will continue.
"What do you think about it?" Li Qiye smiled.
"Well." Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head. He really thought about it seriously. He rarely talked to outsiders. It can be said that Li Qiye was the outsider who talked to him the most.
"Actually, I want to visit the Ancestral City the most." Shiwawa thought for a long time and finally said: "I have never been to the Ancestral City. I heard that it is the imperial city of our Stonemen and the root of our Stonemen. , so, I want to take a look.”
"This is possible, it's a good idea." Li Qiye nodded and agreed, saying: "Only when you look at the outside world will you realize how big the world is."
"Yes." Shiwawa couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly and said: "I heard people say that the ancestral city is very beautiful and mighty. It was there that our Shizu laid the foundation and commanded the world. "
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile lightly.
Shiwawa was excited as he spoke, and hurriedly said: "There are no rules in our village, and they didn't say when I must return to my ancestors. I was thinking that before I return to my ancestors, I must go to the ancestral city to have a look and walk around." Let’s go and see the outside world, and then it’s not too late to come back and return to our ancestors.”
Seeing Shiwawa's excited look, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile. This was a very pure idea, as innocent as a child.
"Have you ever thought about finding a companion?" Li Qiye smiled and said jokingly.
"This, this..." Shiwawa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a young boy. Although he was a member of the Stoneman tribe, he always had some daydreams about the future.
"Didn't you go look for it?" Li Qiye was concerned and also a joke.
"I didn't see anyone who looked at me in the nearby villages." Shiwawa was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say it was difficult to say it, so he said it calmly.
"Maybe if you go outside, you'll find someone you'll like. Let's go to Ancestral City for a walk." Li Qiye said with a smile: "Ancestral City is a big place, where all races gather, and there will be a girl you like."
"It seems so." Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head. At this time, his eyes couldn't help but light up, his expression became a little more excited, and he was even more yearning for the ancestral city.
"What if you fall in love with someone from another tribe?" Li Qiye couldn't help but joked as the stone doll looked yearning.
"This -" Shiwawa couldn't help scratching his head, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, the Stonemen do not mind intermarrying with other races. In fact, there are many Stonemen who intermarry with other races on Stone Plains, and there are even more in the Ancestral City.
However, when the stone people intermarry with other races and have offspring, they have more bonds with themselves. After all, only the stone people can return to their ancestors, and there is no way for the offspring born from intermarriage with other races. Atavistic.
"If it's true, it's true." Shiwawa hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, let's take a look around first, then, then, let's not return to our ancestors so quickly."
Speaking of this, Shiwawa couldn't help but hesitate, and some were not so sure.
"Go and try it." Li Qiye said encouragingly: "If you haven't experienced it, how can you know the good or the bad? If you haven't experienced it, how can you know the wonderful things in the world. If you are born, you haven't experienced it yet. When you grow up, you begin to return to your ancestors, and you suddenly turn into stone and sink into the ground..."
Having said this, Li Qiye paused for a moment, "...then, what's the point of you being born in this world? Even if you can live forever, what's the point? If you haven't experienced anything, it's a waste of time for you to come here." A trip to the world. All things are animated and there are billions of lives. However, not every life is intelligent. The fact that a person can come to the world is a miracle in itself, one in a billion..."
Li Qiye said, looking at the stone doll, and continued: "...Since it is a one-in-a-billion miracle, then don't waste it or squander it. Follow your heart and experience what you want to experience. Things, whether they are good or bad, whether they have results or not. When one day, you can look back at your life and look at it, whether it has no results or bad results, it will make you happy. People are relieved..."
When Shiwawa heard this, he listened with great interest and was very fascinated. He was completely immersed in what Li Qiye said.
"...The most important thing is that you have experienced it and have it, so that you can look back. If you have never experienced it, and there is not even a bad result, then if you look back, it is just a blank piece of paper. That’s all, nothing.” After Li Qiye finished speaking, his words were still echoing in Shiwawa’s mind.
After Li Qiye finished speaking, he continued to eat the food, while Shiwawa sat there blankly, in a daze, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
For him, Li Qiye's words were too profound for him. Li Qiye's words directly touched his soul and opened a door for his soul.
For the Stonemen, returning to their ancestors is an instinct that every Stoneman has from birth. Of course, in the future, some people will choose to return to their ancestors, and some will choose not to return to their ancestors.
It's just that Shiwawa was born in the Weathering Canyon and grew up in this small world. When he was born, his relatives and elders had all been petrified one by one. They turned into stones one by one and sank into the ground. .
This kind of life trajectory also affects Shiwawa. Shiwawa doesn't have many fantasies about the outside world. The only thing he has fantasized about is a trip to his ancestral city.
Now Li Qiye's words like this unknowingly opened a door for him. This was a door to the outside world. Through this door, he seemed to see the outside world.
In the past, Shiwawa wanted to go to the ancestral city, but this was just a thought in his mind and he did not take action.
However, now Li Qiye's words made his heart move. He really should go to the ancestral city to see it.
"I understand what the young master means." Shiwawa came back to his senses. His face was filled with excitement and dizziness. He excitedly said to Li Qiye: "I will definitely go out and have a look. I will definitely go to the ancestral city for a stroll. of."
Li Qiye nodded and smiled.
At this time, a whirring sound came from outside the door, and the sound became louder and louder.
