Fortunately, Qi Ying had experienced hundreds of reincarnations, and his mentality was extremely solid. He was still calm when dealing with things. He did not directly slap He Suoqiu, the rebellious son, to death, but the aura he gave off also directly pressed He Suoqiu to the ground. The yard was in turmoil.
The entire He family was shocked.
The old man, who had just washed himself twice, put on his trousers and hurried from the backyard. He said to Qi Ying in panic: "God, God, stop it! But the old man has not treated me well. Why is God making things difficult for my child?" Man of God, calm down your anger, man of God, calm down your anger!”
…
Naturally, Qi Ying would not eat He Suoqiu's father, so the meal would be in vain.
After he calmed down, Qi Ying learned about the situation on the island and felt a little more relaxed.
Among the islands in the East China Sea, this island is definitely one of the most barren. There is a lava volcano in the center of the island, and the smell it emits can kill many creatures. Therefore, there is not much food growing on the entire island, and there are no wild animals. And the islanders' fertility is uncontrolled, so the large population has led to overall extreme poverty.
On the island, people will lose their labor force when they get old, and the output of work is far lower than the resources they consume. Rather than living and wasting food, it is better to turn it into food yourself... This is what started on this island thousands of years ago. The customs that have been passed down by the aborigines have not been felt by any generation to be inappropriate. The old people who were slaughtered were willing to do so, and the young adults were even more at ease, because sooner or later they themselves would have to reach this point, and by then they would also Smiling becomes food for the family.
In Qi Ying's view, the behavior of "eating one's father" is contrary to human ethics and is treasonous!
But for the residents of the island, this is the most effective way to keep more people alive, and it is a matter of course.
What can Qi Ying do
Everyone on the entire island has the same understanding.
Among them, no one is a bad person. They all pay great attention to etiquette, value reputation, and treat others with enthusiasm. There is no bad intention at all.
"Eating daddy" is just their way of surviving.
Qi Ying had no choice but to take out some elixirs from the space ring. The villagers all smiled happily when they saw the elixirs. They had heard that gods would give elixirs to lucky people who helped the gods. Everyone who took the elixir became extremely strong and did not need to eat for a year.
It's just that this time the "god man" was extra generous and gave them a pill for everyone in the village.
He Suoqiu was very happy and said: "My old father can live until now because I have taken such pills several times and helped the village do more work. Now my father can live for another two or three years."
“…”
Qi Ying knew that He Suoqiu still couldn't change his idea of "eating his father", but he could tell that He Suoqiu was still very "filial" and hoped that his father would live a few more years.
"While you are strong now, you should cultivate more land and plant food. If you have more fields, you will naturally not need to eat people." Qi Ying advised the villagers, "The gods who taught you etiquette have not taught you filial piety." Is it the first of hundreds of rites? The younger generation works harder so that the elders in the family can die a good death. This is the most important sign of etiquette."
"oh."
"What the man of God said is absolutely true."
The villagers echoed one by one, but Qi Ying could tell that they were just perfunctory and did not agree with it in their hearts. They still believed in the simplest truth and felt that "those who cannot contribute should be eliminated. Isn't there a poem?" Isn't the falling red a heartless thing? It turns into spring mud to protect the flowers. This god is obviously not as understanding as the gods our ancestors encountered!"
Qi Ying just sighed and said nothing more. Changing their minds could not be solved by relying on some pills. He couldn't care about these people now, so he immediately took He Suoqiu and flew to Daoxin Mountain.
During the flight to Daoxin Mountain, Qi Ying asked He Suoqiu: "Do you think eating people is a natural thing? Then have you ever thought about eating me?"
He Suoqiu was shocked and said hurriedly: "How dare you? Let alone a god, even the guests drifting from the outer island are the guests we need to serve as much as we can. A guest can eat the master, but how can the master eat the guest? What? It’s really ridiculous, ridiculous.”
“…”
Qi Ying really convinced the people of this island.
I don’t know whether to say that they are too naive, or that they are too ignorant
When he flew to the top of Daoxin Mountain, Qi Ying was still filled with sadness, not only for the absurd cannibalism on the island, but also for the so-called "way of heaven".
Obviously, etiquette and rules such as "filial piety" were created later, and the development of natural laws is undoubtedly cruel. If you rely only on natural laws, "eating your father" is the most reasonable thing. So is "the way of heaven" right or wrong? Or between right and wrong, which one to choose is more in line with the laws of heaven and earth
This made Qi Ying a little dazed.
Thinking about the way of heaven is obviously meaningless. It is impossible for Qi Ying to "understand heaven" anyway. After questioning for a while, he asked He Suoqiu to point the way for him.
"You go back. This bottle of elixir is for your family. Hide it so that other villagers don't know about it. Remember, don't eat your father and provide for him until his death."
Qi Ying threw a bottle of elixir to He Suoqiu.
This bottle of elixir is much better than the poorest quality elixirs. It can allow ordinary people to directly become cultivators of the Explosive Qi Realm. People from the He family who eat this bottle of elixir will not only be able to live without grains, but Food, at the very least, I must be able to support myself and everyone.
He Suoqiu naturally understood Qi Ying's special care, but he still couldn't understand why Qi Ying wouldn't let him eat his father.
I can only think: "Maybe this is the habit of the god? Forget it, just do what the god said. Anyway, my father won't eat much every day in the future. We can't take these pills from him."
…
Qi Ying quickly found the passage He Suoqiu mentioned.
It is a route from a crack in the mountain to the center line of the mountain.
The entire mountain is indeed filled with scorching hot magma. The temperature of this magma is very high and can directly burn through the less solid shield of heaven and earth vitality. Even a casual False God Realm cultivator will be injured if he enters, and He Suoqiu pointed out that The crack can be regarded as a "cold zone" without much magma, and the magma there has basically turned into rock.
However, with Qi Ying's cultivation level, even entering the magma is no different than taking a cold shower, so it doesn't matter which crack you go through. As long as you can enter the center of the mountain, you should be able to find something that affects the entire mountain. The location of the "treasure" on the island.
Lava, magma.
Isn’t it possible that the treasure found this time may have something in common with my own “Lava Fire Path”
