Chapter 9: Behavior as a ritual, precedent as a rule

Agu separated the two cubs, taught them that they were of the same tribe and could not fight, and then divided the fruit into half for each. At the same time, he began to think about how to solve this problem. After all, although Agu was born mature and had the ability to know everything, until now, even though he had died once, he was still just a child who had not experienced the world. Agu was also confused about these complicated things and didn't know what to do. Looking at the growing feathered people, Agu's worries became more and more. "Can I really be a good leader?" "Can I really lead them well?" "God..." This time, Agu was a little bit discouraged. All his previous fearlessness of hardships, the confidence to fight against everything and stand up after falling down countless times, all came from God's mission.

It's just that now, the responsibility of the chief is not closely related to the mission. Or Agu actually knows that no matter whether these feathered people are good or bad, they are all part of this world. The mission given to him by God is just to let him create and experience different scenery. If he didn't ask for so many things and let these feathered people develop freely, he wouldn't have any worries. But when he looked at these little guys and took care of them growing up, he felt a heavy weight falling on him. He felt that he had a responsibility to lead these little guys to the right path. "After all, it was me who brought them into this world, and they are also my people. I need to think about their future." Agu said so, and he also had his own ideas. Since he couldn't think of a way, he might as well seek God's help. He would do his best to complete the mission given by God. And where God didn't give instructions, then ask God to give instructions! Putting aside everything, Agu is essentially like those feathered people who rely on him, relying on God. Agu didn't understand any rituals, and at this time he didn't have any concept of rituals. He wanted to see God, so he knelt on the ground and told his own predicament. This was his prayer. And God appeared in front of him after he started his own prayer. But at this time, the appearance of God had already caused the birds and beasts to flee, and the sky was cloudless but a muffled thunder sounded. Agu's status has been lowered. If he wants him to see him again, he needs to show more of himself. In Lu Que's current state, appearing in the world will inevitably oppress him to a certain extent. "God!" Agu smiled happily, quickly got up, and came to Lu Que's side. Of course, this joy was restrained afterwards. He asked Lu Que solemnly how he should go on. "God, how should I restrain the feathered people, how should I let them walk on the right path?" Agu sought God's guidance.

"Rules exist between all things in the world. You need to explore it, then fix it, mold it into the mud, and carve it into the stone." "Behavior is ritual, and example is track." Lu Que raised his hand, and a picture appeared in front of Agu. First, Lu Que killed the pigeon, and then Agu fell from the sky. In this regard, Agu has actually done the corresponding thing. That is to imitate the precedent. Past deeds are examples, and examples are tracks that can be followed, so all deeds are tracks. One's own behavior is etiquette, which restrains one's own behavior, takes one's own behavior as a criterion, sets requirements, and forms standards. The combination of behavior and deeds is ritual! Rituals: etiquette and rules! "I understand, God!" Agu was very happy, and he looked up at God. Although his body was very tall, he always felt extremely small when standing in front of God. "Can I see God often?" Agu asked after solving his own problem, with expectations in his eyes. For him, God is so great, but the most important thing is that God is his creator! He yearns for God and hopes to get God's guidance, even if it is just a little reliance. "You have your own life, live your life well, don't be too anxious to return to me." Lu Que said so, without clearly answering Agu's question. Just when Agu wanted to ask some questions, Lu Que had already left. Looking at the place where God left, Agu tried his best to sense, and then he could sense something slightly. [Genesis 2:2 God said, Take the behavior as a ritual, take the example as a rule, mold it into the clay, carve it into the stone, it will become a ritual, and all things will follow it. ] [Genesis 2:3 God said, man has his own life, he should live his own life well. ] The two chapters of Genesis were recorded into the world and then submerged. Agu could no longer sense it, just like now, even if he returned to the place stained with pigeon blood, he could not see Genesis 1 again. The reason why he could feel these two chapters of Genesis this time was because of the afterglow of God. God appeared here, so these things were relatively active. And as the afterglow dissipated, he naturally could not continue to observe those Genesis. Agu remembered the contents of those Genesis tightly, and gradually had ideas. He needed to record these things, and God's teachings were the most advanced rituals. According to Genesis 1:1, he killed himself and promoted the birth of life, which is the power of practicing rituals.

"Mold into mud, carve into stone!" Agu muttered these two sentences. He was going to use these two different things to create two different books. Agu first looked for hard stones everywhere. Since the rituals were to be set, the things that carried the rituals could not be broken so easily. He first thought of obsidian, the stone formed after the magma cooled. But then Agu found that obsidian was hard enough, but not tough enough, it was easy to break, and it was not convenient to carve. Agu's main carving tool now is his claws. His claws are very sharp, and ordinary trees and stones can't stop his claws. Looking at the sky, the sun is about to rise. So Agu had to give up the search and returned to the shelter he built with some food. On a new day, the feathered cubs began their playful life again. Fortunately, these cubs have been born for four days, and at this time, their wisdom has grown a lot. They have learned most of the language taught by Agu. Although they still fight with each other, their understanding ability has been greatly improved. At least during this period, they understand who takes care of them, who feeds them, and who is the boss here! The previous winged cubs were ignorant of the world and fearless. They are still the first generation of life, and there are not many "instincts" engraved in their genes. Even eating is an accidental discovery and becomes necessary. Before they really recognize the world, they will act arbitrarily and without any rules. But as they grow up and gradually recognize the world, they also begin to "mature". Of course, their ability to cause trouble has also become stronger. The shelter that could originally hold them was found to have loopholes. The vines and leaves on the ceiling formed a roof, and some stones were pressed on it. It was enough before, but now these guys' flying ability has become stronger and stronger. It is no longer just flapping wings to stay in the air for a short time, but can really fly for a short time. They can already fly and dismantle the roof, achieving the achievement of climbing up the roof and removing the tiles. What bothered Agu the most was that they did all this secretly at night while Agu was out looking for stones and food. They learned to conceal and cover up. At the same time, their energy became more vigorous, and they could get up in the middle of the night to do things. If it wasn't for that night, Agu didn't fly far, and his hearing was well developed, so he could hear their voices in the distance. I'm afraid that the little guys who sneaked out without sleeping could run to the ends of the earth. He held one in his claws and one in his mouth, flapping his wings from time to time, slapping the one leading the way. Agu was angry and amused.

At the same time, Agu also saw that there was a gap between these little guys at this time. The little guy who led the way was the planner of all this. He first discovered the problem with the roof, but then he didn't rush to "escape from prison", but instead won over a few companions, pretending that nothing happened at night and sleeping peacefully. The most important thing was that he actually had this kind of mobility, able to wake up in the middle of the night and then sneak out with people directly. And the purpose is very clear, wanting to escape into the forest and find food by himself. In his cognition, the reason why Agu can become the "leader" is mainly due to three points: one, Agu is the first life created by God, two, he is strong enough, and three he controls the distribution of food. This is the essence of Agu's strength. As long as he can find enough food, he can also have the right to speak and become the second in command of the "Feathered People". Although there are many problems with this idea, the fact that it can exist already shows that this guy's wisdom is not low at the moment. "Maybe, I need to give him a name." Agu thought. In his heart, the name is a sacred thing. God gave him a name, which was the beginning of everything for him. From then on, he got the mission to start his own journey. So in Agu's view, once the other party is given a name, then the other party is an independent person. At that time, Agu will no longer restrict the other party, but let the other party start his own "journey". "The establishment of rituals also needs to be done as soon as possible." Agu thought that once these guys get a name and become independent when they grow up. He would need to let go to a certain extent, but he sincerely hoped that these people could walk on the right path. So it would be best to establish the rituals and set rules for them before that! As time passed, the feathered people grew up day by day. That night, Agu had another dream.
