Chapter 1297

At the end of the exchange with Zhang Heng who didn't want to practice, Zhang Heng quit the forum room, but he didn't change his plan to return home.

It will be safer to stay in Ireland, but as he said, he still has unfinished business. Fan Meinan has not found a cure for his illness, and there is a time bomb hidden in his body. In addition, the most important thing is that his relatives are here now, and he does not want to bring trouble to them.

Every day he stays here, the risk of being found will be higher. At the same time, the other party will inevitably notice that his parents, grandfather, or unborn sister.

This is the most important reason for Zhang Heng's decision, but he didn't tell Xiao Xia or other people in the room about it. Even so, the night before he left, there would be a small situation.

It was already one o'clock in the morning. Zhang Heng heard the news from downstairs.

That voice is not big, but still can't escape Zhang Heng's ears. When he sleeps, the door is not closed tightly. Just to prevent this situation, Zhang Heng gets up from the bed, grabs a knife he just bought in the supermarket, hides it behind him. The cat stoops down and walks quietly through the corridor like a civet cat.

Along the stairs came to the living room, the result saw a figure is carrying him standing in front of the refrigerator, from inside somethings.

"What are you looking for so late?" Zhang Heng put away the knife in his hand and then opened his mouth.

The figure heard his voice and turned around. It turned out that it was Zhang Fu, holding two bottles of beer in his hand. "The stars are good tonight. Let's go to the yard together? By the way, take anti mosquito liquid and put it in the first drawer under the tea table. "

Zhang Heng opened the drawer and found a bottle of anti mosquito liquid in it. He sprayed it for himself first. Then he came to the yard and threw it to his father. Then he took a bottle of ice beer from the latter.

"When you were a child, I told you stories about the stars." Zhang Fu finished applying anti mosquito liquid, found a chair to sit down, pointed to the starry sky above his head and said, "it's amazing, isn't it? People over 2000 years ago looked up and saw the same starry sky as we saw."

"I remember you told me a lot about stars." Zhang Heng sat down in another chair.

"Yes, if you look back on the early human civilization, you will find that almost all kinds of civilizations have stories about stars. At that time, people were full of ignorant curiosity about the starry sky overhead. The celestial bodies tens of millions of kilometers away from us were so mysterious and untouchable, and the patterns outlined by their close proximity also stimulated the imagination of people under the starry sky 。” Zhang opened his beer and took a sip.

"At that time, our ancestors lived in a much more difficult environment than they do now, and there are too many unexplained things in the world, such as diseases, natural disasters Why is the yield of wheat on the same field decreasing year by year? Why are there always many mentally retarded children born by nobles? They hope to find an answer, but the level of science and technology at that time can not give them this answer. This is why gods are born - the answer to human beings. "

"They are like the starry sky above us, mysterious and untouchable, giving people endless reverie. You have to admit, it's actually quite Romantically, people blame gods for the problems they can't solve. Thunder is because there is a god of thunder playing drums on the clouds. The sun rises and sets because the God of the sun is cruising in the sky with a carriage. Disease and disaster are the punishment given by a certain God because of his anger. This also tells us that we should always be humble and do more good.

"When I first came into contact with the stories in the murals and ancient books, I would ask myself, did their prayers and sacrifices work in the end? Is it true that a rainstorm happened in time to save the crops in the field that are about to be killed by the drought? When their country was in danger, did the God of war send the blessing of victory to the warriors of their country? Will the goddess of fertility bless the birth of his second child? Then I suddenly realized that it didn't really matter.

"People choose to believe in a God because faith can help them get some kind of spiritual comfort in this complicated, disordered and hard world. At least until our civilization has developed to a certain extent, we can't control the weather. Rain may or may not come tomorrow. People who firmly believe that rain will come tomorrow are better than those who don't believe that rain will come tomorrow This is the meaning of faith. It can give you some spiritual encouragement and make you stay through the long night better than others.

"At that time, it was probably the honeymoon period for human beings and gods. Together, we fought against the unpredictable nature and built a civilization on this land. However, with the development of science and technology and productivity, the previously unanswered questions were solved one by one and became no longer mysterious, and the gods behind them also lost the respect of human beings and disappeared from the altar Many of the remaining gods have gradually changed their relationship with human beings. Their existence is no longer to find an answer, but they still carry a certain desire of human beings. "

Zhang Heng listened quietly and opened his own bottle of beer, but he didn't speak."Of course, with the continuous improvement of technology and entertainment level, human beings also have a lot of new desires. For example, in the hot summer, we are eager to return to the air-conditioned room. We have been on the moon, so we are also eager to be on the stars. So I won't be too surprised if there are some gods of a new era one day." Zhang Fu shrugged his shoulders.

"What if some people are longing for the end?" Zhang Heng, who didn't speak before, suddenly asked.

Father Zhang didn't look too surprised when he heard this question. He drank and said, "fear is the most primitive instinct of human beings, and it can also provide enough stimulation to the brain. In modern society, the danger we are facing is decreasing, far less than those of our ancestors, so the fear we can feel is also decreasing. Most of the time, we can only use horror novels We can't get this kind of stimulation from movies without fear, so doomsday fantasy is universal. "

"This desire can't be eliminated, can it?"

"I'm sorry. But don't worry, we'll find a solution. It's just It's going to take some time. " Zhang finished his beer and said, "we should all have faith in ourselves."
