Mu Yun finally understood what kind of divine kingdom it was, and covered his mouth and said: "Marduk can really imagine that he has created such a kingdom. The more gods attached to the Kingdom, the more extensive his knowledge will be. Theoretically, it is endless."
Amun nodded and said, "yes, he proved this vow on earth and broke through the end of this vow in the kingdom of God. I have also gone through similar verification, but the vows are different, so he created my kingdom of heaven."
Amun and Mu Yun discussed what kind of divine Kingdom Marduk had opened up in the kingdom of heaven, and all things on earth continued. Darius died, his son Xerxes ascended the throne, and the Persian Empire and the hitton United Kingdom were still in a continuous state of war. In the city states that hitton had been conquered by Boz, resistance activities also rose one after another, and the Boz Empire changed from offensive to defensive.
Marduk has proved the realm he pursues, and what happens next has nothing to do with him. Even Xerxes, the son of Darius and the new king of Boz, does not know that Mazda, the great God of light worshipped by the Boz people, is another identity of Marduk.
As the expansion of the Boz Empire came to an end, its national policy began to change, and its internal rule became increasingly harsh. Finally, one day, Xerxes ordered to burn down the gate of God in Baron city and demolish the Marduk temple. Only Mazda, the great light God, was allowed to worship the flame of light believed by the Boz people.
Mu Yun looks at this scene, steals music in the kingdom of heaven, leans on Amun's arms and laughs. Darius's son ordered the burning of the temple of Marduk, which was ridiculous to the gods. But with a smile, Mu Yun's face suddenly changed and showed a angry look. He stood up and said, "Amun, your people have demolished our temple!"
Amun also stood up, patted her on the shoulder and said, "why be angry? You just laughed at malduk, but what happened to him also happened to us
"Are you happy?" Mu Yun asked
Amun sighed: "it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not. I just feel a little bit, which is confirmed by Marduk's prediction at that time. Indeed, it was my people who demolished my temple and did not let Marduk do it. Nor did the army of Boz do it. "
Amun was the LORD God of Egypt, and rod Dick would not order his temple to be demolished. What was demolished was the temple in Salem, which was also the earliest Temple of Amun. At that time, Amun guided his disciples to create Salem city. The statue of Muyun, which he held in his arms, had been standing on the altar to accept the sacrifice of the people. It became a symbol of faith. How could it be demolished by the people of Salem? This is the change of the world.
Marduk once said to Amun, "even if my believers occupy the whole land of Tianshu, they will not interfere in the belief of Salem. But I would like to remind you that people believe in gods, not because they are born to believe, but because they can get spiritual comfort from gods, or realize their desires in the name of gods. The world is changing and people's hearts will change, and the descendants of Salem city will make different choices. At that time, you will probably watch your own gods collapse. " (see "who is Satan" in Chapter 224 of this book.)
When Marduk said these words, he not only told Amun that he had another name called "potion", which means that no matter what kind of status he gave, the Oracle or the guidance he gave would not interfere with the belief of Salem, and the words of gods would naturally keep their promises.
The Empire of Boz destroyed elan, Hattie, Assyria, and balun, and DUK plain was naturally included in the vast territory of Boz. Salem occupied the northern part of the DUK plain, while the southern part was the city states of Mesopotamia and budamia occupied by Hattie. After the destruction of the state by Hattie, borz merged mexor, budamia, Syria and several nearby city states to establish Syria province.
Salem's status has always been very special. In fact, it has always been independent, but it has never declared its independence in name. On the surface, it is subordinate to the kingdom of hathia and the city-state of Syria. When the kingdom of hathi was annexed by Boz, it was subordinate to the newly established province of Syria and Asia.
The territory controlled by Salem was completely surrounded by the Persian Empire, and trade with the Persian Empire had to be carried out. There was no other choice. In addition to its own use, Salem's goods and materials can only be sold to the provinces of the Persian Empire. The products needed by Salem must also be exchanged with the surrounding provinces to pay taxes uniformly formulated by the Boz empire.
In addition to not appointing a governor to Salem, the status of Salem was equivalent to that of a relatively autonomous large-scale city-state in Boz, and it could not exist independently without Boz empire. After George and link retired from the garden of Eden, Aesop and Joshua grew old in succession. When Amun left Salem, the main rulers of Salem were Tyche Chou and eusil. These two people are very clear about the situation of Salem, and the main policy is to keep the status quo unchanged.
Amun was only 14 years old when he left Duke and was exiled into the mountains. When he finally appeared in front of the people of Salem, he was only 20 years old. In terms of human years, he should be 58 years old now. Many years have passed in the world, and earth shaking changes have taken place in Tianshu.
Most of the people in DUK were buried in the early flood. Among the more than 60 survivors, the youngest was David Solomon, followed by Amun and then Moses. Moses was two years older than Amon, and David Solomon was eight years younger than amon. When David was six years old, his father took him out of Duke for the first time to see the world in the city of Syria. He just avoided the flood and became the youngest survivor.After Amun left Salem, Tyche Chou and eusil also aged one after another, and David Solomon became a new generation of rulers of Salem. Medanzo once guided David Solomon's original strength. This child was very smart. He had achieved level 6 achievement before he was 20 years old. However, it took many years for him to continue to advance. When he was nearly 40 years old, he broke through level 7 achievement.
David Solomon also inherited the essence of the Duke town's millennial precipitation and got the source of Metanzo's guidance. He is very strong and very intelligent. But there are some things that are not clear. People with better qualifications or cleverer are more likely to understand the mysteries of cultivation. However, they can not only rely on these to achieve high-level achievements. Otherwise, high-level achievers in the world will not be so rare.
In his youth, David performed better than Amun in many aspects, but in the world, there are almost countless people who are better than Amun in many aspects. In comparison, it is quite remarkable that David can break through the high-level achievements of the original power and become the leader of Salem.
In the late period of Diqi Zhou and eusil's governance, Salem city actually entered the era of scholars' governance, and the people of Duke town gradually became the rulers of Salem city and mastered the power and wealth of the city-state. Three of the twelve divisions that Moses had directed died in battle, and three of them entered the garden of Eden, and the rest of them grew old in Salem.
They were very old and authoritative. They guided the people to sacrifice to Aloha and played an increasingly important role in the management of the city until David grew up. The new generation of people in Duke town are also spreading their branches and leaves. Their descendants are not willing to mention Duke Town, which represents the identity of the sinful people. They only claim to be salleng people, who have made a treaty with Aloha and are redeemed and blessed by the gods.
With the support of the old generation of teachers, David Solomon himself was also very talented. He not only established absolute authority among the Salem people, but also controlled the whole city-state of Salem. The Aloha believed by the Salem gradually replaced the position of Amun God.
This result is somewhat surprising, but from another perspective, it is inevitable. At that time, there were only a few dozen survivors of the dukes, but when they came to Salem, there were thousands of residents in the city, which seemed insignificant. But they enjoyed the most fertile land, inherited the mines of the clansmen, and made great contributions to the defense of the city-state in the war. The surviving generation of
can be said to be the cream of the earth. When they are free from the hardship of their generation, they will no longer need to work hard for the miners themselves. Whether they are engaged in farm management, business exchange and loan business, they have done very well, not only because they have capital and prestige, but also because they have mastered knowledge and resources.
Strength and wisdom are also the wealth left by their ancestors, which makes them the richest people in Salem city. The girls are willing to marry the Salem people. They have superior conditions, can give their descendants the best education and living environment, and can even master several languages and languages on the mainland. Gradually, the number of people is more than 1000 after two generations.
The composition of other people in Salem city mainly includes several aspects: cave savages or plateau giants who moved from the deep mountains, vagrant explorers and rogue proletarians from surrounding countries, bankrupt craftsmen and farmers who lost their land. These people can't be compared with the Salem in every way, and the vast majority of them are illiterate, to say nothing else.
The Salem, who mastered wealth and knowledge, also possessed the right to sacrifice to the gods in the city-state, representing the will of the gods. People's belief is not out of thin air, it will be affected by the environment intentionally or unintentionally. When Salem masters the economic and political resources, it naturally controls the social resources for spreading belief.
In the early years, the people of Salem, who were united in the battlefield and summoned Amun to come, gradually died, and the new generation grew up. They did not have the experience of their parents. They were living in a new environment. More and more people followed the Salem people to believe in Aloha. When the Empire of Boz was expanding and the flame of light was burning all over the mainland, the worship of Aloha went deep into the hearts of the people of Salem city and gradually became the mainstream of belief in this city-state.
However, the main temple of this city-state is Amun temple. It stands in the center of the city square, so tall and grand. However, Amun's holding the statue of Mu Yun on the altar seems frivolous and unconstrained. There is also an Aloha temple in Salem. It was built in the place where the people of dukezhen lived in the first time. Its scale is very small and insignificant. However, the sacrifice received is more and more grand.
The new generation of rulers of this city-state gradually had an idea that they wanted to replace the original Amun temple with the main temple of arroha. When the old generation was still alive, the idea was only in the heart. When the new generation of Salem represented by David Solomon came to power, the desire became stronger and stronger, because the status of Aloha also symbolized their status.
Before Joshua's death, he gave David Solomon a Bible, which recorded the experiences and sufferings of the dukes, the process of returning to their homeland from afar under the guidance of Aloha, and collected the instructions, miracles, hymns and legends of Aloha. It is a history that carries the belief of the Salem people, and records the agreement between the gods and the people of the people.David Solomon is also a witness of this period of history. Naturally, he can see the traces of modification and exaggeration in many of the legends. Moreover, he can more or less guess the relationship between Amun and Aloha, but the gods have not made it clear, and David Solomon will not.
On the other hand, the belief in Aloha is not David's personal matter, but the wishes and beliefs of all the people. It is not only related to spiritual sustenance, but also determines the interests and status in the secular world. Since David is the leader of the clan, what he does represents this desire and belief.
Any successful change needs the right time to conform to some seemingly irresistible trend. The first opportunity finally appeared, which was the coup d'etat in eju. Tutankhamun succeeded the throne and regarded Amun as the main god of the kingdom of Egypt. The salemites hated the Egyptians because in their Bible, their ancestors had been enslaved by them, and only under the guidance of Aloha could they return home. It was arakho who showed miracles that made them overcome the evil gods of eju.
Now Amun became the main god of eju. Naturally, they did not want to see the city-state under their control still offering sacrifices to the gods of eju, as if they were constantly waking up some kind of humiliating memory. David Solomon took the opportunity to order that the sacrifice to aroha became the official ceremony of the city, replacing the sacrifice to Amun.
A few people objected to this order, but it was approved with the support and acquiescence of most people, because David did not overthrow the temple of Amun, nor did he prohibit the people from offering sacrifices to Amun, but only changed the official sacrificial objects.
Although the population of Salem is prosperous now, it is still a small number in the total population of Salem, but they can control the whole city-state. They have carried out elite politics, which seems fair and reasonable and conform to the public opinion. However, by controlling the economic and political resources, they have mastered the discourse power of public opinion and coerced the wishes of the vast majority of people.
In fact, people often think that what they can make is their own choice. This is the core of this elite politics, which may be embodied in various superficial forms, and has a wide influence in later generations, but it is only the origin of its origin at this time.
The second opportunity that Salem waited for was that the expansion of the Boz Empire suffered setbacks, and the country was at a turning point of prosperity and decline. When the war between Greece and Poland was becoming more and more passive, and eju took the opportunity to break away, and the internal control of the Empire declined, Xerxes ordered the demolition of the gates of the gods and the Marduk temple in the city of Baron.
David took the opportunity to order the demolition of the Amun temple and the construction of a more magnificent Aloha temple on the original site of the temple square, ten years after the last official sacrifice reform. With the foreshadowing of this decade, the resistance encountered in the real operation is already very small.
There are two main reasons for David Solomon to demolish Amun Temple: first, the official God of the city-state is aroha, which should be the main temple; second, the temples of the original anuna Qishen system have been demolished in all parts of the Persian Empire. Assyria, balun, hathi and other countries that believe in anuna Kai gods are long gone. Amun stands in the main temple of the city with Muyun's statue in his arms On the altar, it seems frivolous and unruly, contrary to the sacred majesty of the gods.
However, David Solomon still had a hand. He just replaced Amun with Aloha and demolished the original temple, but he did not prohibit people from believing in Amun. People who believe in Amun can build temples for Amun in other places, but this has nothing to do with the official city of Salem, and there will be no city-state sacrifice.
In fact, it doesn't matter. Salleng people have mastered the best land in Salem city and controlled the economic, political and cultural resources. Believing in Amun God has become a non mainstream nostalgia. Aloha, who made a treaty with the salleng people, is the only God the city-state believes in. In the people's concept of Salem City, Amun gradually became a legendary hero and a mythical figure by other people.
Aloha is another identity of Amun, which makes no difference to the gods. Just as Xerxes ordered the temple of Marduk to be demolished to offer sacrifices to Mazda, the God of light, malduk did not matter. In recent decades, the land of Tianshu has undergone frequent changes, and the gods worshipped by many kingdoms have also changed frequently. Among them, there are gods' guidance, but more importantly, it is determined by the human situation.
When the main temple of Amun in Salem was demolished, the prophecy of Marduk was finally fulfilled. Amun can only sigh, but persuade Mu Yun to look at the temple of Marduk, which is the same experience.
Mu Yun was only angry for a moment, then angry and funny: "I used to be the patron saint of Duke Town, but Duke town was destroyed by the flood. I hope you can guide the people to restore my divine realm, and you have fulfilled your promise. But now your people have broken down your temple and mine. As a God, I should be calm in the long history. "
Amun added: "the Aloha they believe in is still me, and the agreement I made with my people is still engraved in the temple. People need their gods to prove their glory. My people are all living beings. No matter who is guided by the faith I left behind, and whose soul is free, can also come to my kingdom of heaven. "
