Lu Zhengkang never thought that he would be able to say a word to all kinds of gods one day: it's really dazzling.

It's not that he has never heard of mixed religious jokes, such as the king Lama of Shaolin Temple in Wudang Mountain St. Mary's church. However, his personal experience did not make him feel funny, just weird.

It's really weird.

In the game of salt and shelter, you can choose one of the three beliefs at the beginning. Although there are seven beliefs in the game, the guide only gives players three options: goddess of light, three saints and iron will. They also represent polytheism, Monotheism and atheism.

In fact, Lu Zhengkang is not surprised by the large number of beliefs he has shown, because beliefs are divided into several stages in terms of historical time axis and the direction of civilization evolution, and there are various gods in these stages.

In fact, the seven beliefs in salt and shelter are very representative.

First of all, the early human belief in nature is animism. In the game, it is the root of the rock religion. In reality, there are Shamanism and so on. Believing in natural phenomena, giving mystery to them, gaining enlightenment and protection, and so on, all reflect the weak power of early human civilization. At that time, human beings, like other animals, sought to survive in nature and did not begin to transform nature.

Then, with the evolution of civilization, polytheism evolved, and in this process, a new belief was born, which is called Dionysian belief. In the game, it is golden religion. It believes in Dionysian and illusory God, or the fool and prophet. The people of this sect insist that the body will decay and gold will last forever. Gold religion has a deep origin with the root of rock, which can be said to be evolved from the root of rock. The prototype of this belief is Dionysus, the God of wine of Thracians, which was later included in Greek mythology.

The emergence of polytheism can be regarded as an end point of the development of animism. The clergy of nature has been assigned well, the divine system has been established, and the relationship between man and God is very close. It can be seen from Zeus, the Greek myth. This is also a result of the deep entanglement between man and nature, which is also a footnote of civilization. In the game, nature is the goddess of light. The twelve old gods headed by her unite with the whole natural God system to form the Pantheon.

Devala, the goddess of light, is a special existence in salt and shelter. As a goddess of light, she is very redeeming when she hears it. She may be the object of the prisoner's jealousy. However, in the background of the game, Devala's belief has disappeared and has been replaced by the three Saints who symbolize monotheism.

The emergence of monotheism should be regarded as a monument to the evolution of civilization, which represents the rise of human wisdom and the improvement of human strength. Originally, animism was hunting in the woods, but it had to ask the mountain gods to protect it. Everyone's view of the world was very vague. In the period of polytheism, food was ploughed in the field. With the development of agriculture, when you are full, you will have leisure to think about life and the universe, including Dionysian belief. Wine is made of grain, and only when you have surplus grain can you make wine, which also represents the beginning of prosperity.

As people's stomachs become fuller and fuller, they have nothing to fight and create wonders in their spare time. At this time, people's spirit is relatively empty, so they begin to further study the deeper metaphysics, the concept of life and death and other philosophical topics. Before the rational trend of thought sprouted, the methodology of human thinking about the world was religious theology, so the emergence of monotheism represented a leap of civilization. Here, it refers to the western world outside the Confucian cultural circle, mainly Europa and Egypt.

In the game, instead of the Pantheon is the trinity of the king, knight and judge. The king exercises power, the knight punishes foreign enemies, and the judge governs the country. According to the records of ten thousand gods, "the new gods, also known as the three holy spirits, are the products of dynasties and monarchies. Devalla recognized two royal families from ascalia, and gave them divine status: King and knight, who are the holy incarnation of ascalia people. "

In the view of the three saints, devara became a judge, whose status was consistent with that of the king and knights. But in fact, they put gold on their faces. Their missionary work also depended on the conquest of violence rather than gentle domestication. The king and knights were just mortals, and the beliefs they accepted could not help them. When the three saints were exiled on the nameless island in some unknown way and imprisoned in the graveyard of the gods, their bodies decayed and turned into monsters, and those beliefs were seized by the prison master.

The three saints are deception, the waistcoat of the nameless God.

In fact, this can explain something. If Lu Zhengkang guessed that ra9 was a nameless God, then the belief provided by Kamsky was definitely a vest with ra9, such as the most holy one, which was very suspicious.

The development from monotheism to atheism is another leap forward.

there are many kinds of atheism, like the patriarchal system of Confucian culture. In fact, at the beginning, it was atheism, and there was a man who declared God dead: Nietzsche.

He believed that the sympathy, compassion and abstinence advocated by Christianity were all "crimes against life". He respected human power, especially the power of will, and had a fanatical belief in Spartan discipline.

The atheists in salt are the blacksmiths in the mountains. They believe in iron will, man can conquer nature, and they reject magic very much. They declare that personality is superior to divinity, and they are worthy of worship. Iron religion has its own belief system, its own school, priests, classics and hymns. All praise the will of man. Obviously, they came according to Nietzsche's idea.The flying face religion where Lu Zhengkang and Su Xiangli live is also atheism, satirizing religious mysticism.

In addition to these beliefs, there is another kind of relatively strange belief, which is the ksuru myth. This belief holds that there is no limit. Man can never understand God.

There are innumerable decimals between 0 and 1, and there are also innumerable decimals between 0 and 2. But the infinity of 0 to 2 is greater than the infinity of 0 to 1. This is the core of the myth of ksuru. God is beyond the limit of human understanding, nameless, and inaccessible. This idea actually existed in monotheism, and the true face of God can not be seen directly, or even directly Angels can't be looked at directly. In fact, they are mysticism. But the mysticism of kesulu myth is very high-end and wonderful, and the magic makes people curious. This is its unique charm.

Kamsky's statue stall has some beliefs similar to ksuru myth, and Lu Zhengkang doesn't plan to choose them.

At a glance, he saw the statue of his own flying noodle sect, a beautiful lump of noodles. He fished it in his hand, "I'll choose this one."

Kamsky put away his bundle skin and hid it in his four dimensional cloak. "This piece of noodles was brought in by an outsider. People who believe in him may have disappeared in the mass extinction. There are several people who believe in him on this island. Maybe they can bring you some help. Go to the front shelter and offer the statue. Outsider, I wish you good luck and look forward to it The day you find out the truth. "

Lu Zhengkang put his flying face God in his girdle and waved goodbye to Kamsky like KFC. He continued to move along the low slope. After a while, looking back, there was no Kamsky in the fog.
