Ye Ning and Yan Hanjun set foot on the land of this new city, starting from the edge of Source City and moving forward. The first thing that comes into view is the continuous city wall, embedded between heaven and earth, like a giant dragon in ancient legends, guarding the tranquility of the city.
As a coastal city, Yuancheng can exist stably today despite the constant intrusion of monsters. Not only is the nearby mountain range a natural barrier to protect it from wind and rain, but this ancient city wall has also made great contributions.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of Yuan City that to the north of the Dragon-shaped Mountains and to the west of the entire continent, starting from Yuan City to the north, several big cities stand firmly here, as if the huge world structure has nothing to do with them. .
The two walked through the city wall and gradually deepened into this vibrant city. The buildings on both sides of the street had their own characteristics: some high-rise buildings were like wealthy houses in the clouds, shining under the neon lights; some small and unique shops were like brocaded flower baskets, exuding various A heart-warming aroma.
This street seems like a big stage, showing the hustle and bustle of the city. Busy traffic, noisy people, all kinds of merchants, busy pedestrians, busy markets, all kinds of goods, all kinds of food, all meet here, forming a unique visual feast.
They walked through the streets and alleys and came to the center of the city - the market. It is even more lively here. Among the crowds of people, all kinds of noisy voices merge into a torrent, including negotiation, transaction, greeting, laughter and other elements, just like a rhythmic market poem.
The market is filled with orange lights, shining on various stalls, making the products on sale more attractive and attracting a steady stream of customers. The rich colors and aromas are intertwined, whether it is golden fruits or steaming food, it makes people happy.
Walking in the hinterland of this new city, they were drowned in various sounds and images. This is life, this is the life they should have, real and passionate.
Compared with the days spent in the ruins of the city before, this new city is undoubtedly full of vitality and hope for them. Among the ruins, they could only see a desolation with traces of history, where every brick and tile contained past memories and sadness.
The once towering buildings have turned into ruins, and the lively streets and alleys have become deserted and silent. As they walk among the ruins every day, their moods will inevitably be affected by the surrounding atmosphere and become heavy and melancholy.
However, when they entered this new city, all the haze was swept away. The bustling scene here rejuvenates their souls, as if they have regained the rhythm of life.
The realistic bustling and vitality of the city made them feel happy and delighted. They looked around in the market, trying to blend in. People here have no idea that the two of them just walked out of Huai City, nor do they know the stories behind them. Everyone is busy living their lives, and their enthusiasm and happiness are so real.
Ye Ning was amazed by this new city and was even more pleased that she could live in such an environment. Ye Ning knew that the road ahead was still long, but at least now, they had found a place where they could stay temporarily, which made Ye Ning feel relieved and relieved.
Suddenly, a melodious church bell rippled in the air, as if it brought a touch of sanctity and purity to this bustling city. The sound of bells echoes in every street and alley, like the melody of music, making people feel a solemn and humble emotion.
As the bell rang, several people in religious uniforms suddenly appeared in the market. They were dressed in blue robes, looking solemn and sacred. They walk among the crowd, like a beam of warm light, guiding the lost.
Their appearance attracted the attention of people around them. Whether they are vendors, merchants or pedestrians, they all consciously make way for them and respect their identities and responsibilities. Their destinations are the same, as if an invisible force is leading them to move in the same direction.
Ye Ning was more curious and followed the steps of the believers until they came to a simple and plain building. This building does not have luxurious decorations and dazzling carvings, but it has a different kind of sacredness.
The appearance of the church is very simple. It is built of rough and strong stones, showing a kind of solidity and stability. Its design is generous and decent. Although there is no gorgeous decoration, the overall look is very dignified and elegant, full of awe and reverence.
At the front of the church there is a wide stone staircase that leads to a large double door. There are three large golden characters "Worship of Gods" hanging above the door, surrounded by several circles of wrought iron patterns, giving people a sense of calmness and kindness. On both sides of the door are two Gothic spiers towering into the sky, like a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the faith of man and God.
"This is a god-worshipping religion. A unique religion in the north." Yan Hanjun explained, "This religion worships gods. Nameless, indescribable gods. They have no description of what gods look like. They just believe that there are gods in this world. It is God who created all things, and God will save them from their suffering.”
"You know quite a lot!" Ye Ning praised. As a scientific researcher, Yan Hanjun knows too much. But Ye Ning complained again: "I really don't understand why there is such a ridiculous saying as believing in God."
"There are only two kinds of beliefs in this world, one is called materialism and the other is idealism." Yan Hanjun explained seriously, "If you don't believe in God, then you must believe that everything in the world originates from matter. And it’s constantly evolving and developing. Right?”
"Isn't it?" Ye Ning not only nodded, but also asked.
"There is no absolute right or wrong in this world." Yan Hanjun continued to explain seriously, "Especially for those of us who don't know much about the world at all."
"Do you understand how this world works? Do you understand where the planet we are on came from? If you think that matter developed independently, have you seen it? Similarly, they have not seen God's creation The history of the world. Since everyone is making reasonable speculations, what is right or wrong?"
"Just like a wolf eating a sheep, to protect the sheep, the wolf will starve to death, to protect the wolf, you will kill the sheep. We cannot intervene in this world, and there are too many things that we cannot understand. At least for you Don’t jump to conclusions before you see it with your own eyes. Nothing can be absolutely right or wrong.”
Yan Hanjun looked at Ye Ning's thoughtful look and continued to explain: "You are a superpower, you are superior. Of course you are not afraid of anything. You will be more willing to believe in the knowledge you are exposed to, which is the theory promoted by Wu Yu , superpowers can be so powerful that they can change nature."
"In this case, you are definitely more willing to believe in yourself and the powers in your hands. Of course, that's just you. There are more ordinary people in this world, people without powers."
"Before our Dawn organization developed weapons, before everyone could be fully armed. When ordinary people encountered monsters, they couldn't resist at all. Even if they killed or injured their loved ones, they couldn't take revenge."
"Then what do they think about this situation? What do they want to believe in? Do they believe in powers that they don't have at all like you do? Or do they believe that the world is developing materially, and what they are experiencing now is survival of the fittest? inevitable?"
"Who wants to admit that he is a loser? Who wants to admit that he was eliminated from birth? Who wants to admit that he only lives to be a stepping stone for others and a foil for others? No one is willing, and no one wants this."
"They believe in God, but they just need a belief in their hearts to support themselves in living. They need a faith to become the driving force of their lives. They need a faith that can encourage them to move forward when they encounter setbacks."
"You are a person with supernatural powers, and you only believe in yourself. So you will not understand them, let alone the God Worship Cult!" Yan Hanjun said seriously.
Ye Ning fell into deep thought. This guy Yan Hanjun could speak to Ye Ning's heart every time, making Ye Ning fall deeply into thought.
Yan Hanjun continued to add: "Their belief has a lot to do with history. Do you think it was cruel to have nine groups of people punish one person for committing a crime in ancient times? Do you think it is reasonable now that one person commits a crime and the other is punished?"
"That's just because the times are different. In that era when science and technology did not develop and many people did not understand the rules, the only way to kill a policeman is to scare the monkeys! In every era and in every region, the corresponding rules, organizations, and regulations they have appeared are all There is a certain historical inevitability!”
"There are no accidents in the world, they are just inevitable with makeup and mask."
"This is the union of countless suffering people. They have experienced the pain of intrusion by monsters, fear, hatred, hope and other factors. In the end, this god-worshipping religion was born. Let them have faith and can place their souls on it. The place."
Every word Yan Hanjun said penetrated Ye Ning's soul. After Ye Ning thought for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed with Yan Hanjun's statement. Since a thing can exist in the world, it must have the value of its existence.
Ye Ning took a look at this church, which was not grand, but very simple. In these troubled times, it is indeed not easy to build a church like this.
Ye Ning looked around, and there were more and more believers in blue robes around him. There were also many people gathered around to join in the fun. Ye Ning glanced around. Among these blue-robed believers, he seemed to see a familiar figure. He poked Yan Hanjun and said:
"Hey, I think I saw someone I know."
