This question is so tricky that the seemingly kind-hearted old man's words are so sharp. The businessmen could not answer for a moment, but felt a kind of inexplicable humiliation. How dare a storyteller whose status is similar to that of a beggar!
A fat man turned red and stepped forward. He was the Salem merchant who had just called out. He kicked the pottery bowl in front of the old man, pointed to the old man's nose and said, "Aloha, the only God believed by the salleng people, was the only God. Our prophet Elijah had predicted that the glory of Aloha will shine on the Salem people. Don't make Satan's voice here !”
Looking at the cold merchant, the old man suddenly laughed. He was neither angry nor afraid. Instead, he asked slowly, "how powerful you are. If I were the officer of the Maruo people, would you still talk to me like this Forget it, you'd better take a good rest and wait for the sun to set, and go on your way to do your business and earn your money. "
The angry businessman was slightly flustered by the old man's calm eyes. However, the old man's words later had a soft tone. The businessman seemed to find a step for himself, and still walked back and sat down.
Jesus picked up the old man's pottery bowl and coins scattered on the sand, put them back, and said with apology, "as a salamander, I apologize for the rudeness of my countrymen. There is nothing wrong with what you said, but some people think they have been desecrated and hurt their sensitive and fragile self-esteem. "
The old man sighed: "I am very old, and I have experienced enough things. Many people in this world believe in gods or claim to believe in gods. They hope that the gods they believe in are more noble than others, so as to prove that they are also more noble; or they think that they are noble, so the gods they believe in must be more noble. What is it to be kicked over a bowl? More than 300 years ago, there was a man named Aesop who was deprived of his life. "
Jesus looked at the old man as if he was remembering something: "Aesop? How familiar name! When I was a child, I heard a lot of his stories, which have been widely spread in Tianshu. What do you mean, old man, that Elijah's prophecy may have another meaning, that the coming Savior who led the people to build may not be a great empire like Marlowe's
The old man pointed to the fat businessman and asked quietly, "Jesus, your name is Jesus, right? Do you think that the purpose of the Messiah, the Savior appointed by the gods, is to let such people rule the continent? There are too many people who have such expectations of the gods. If these cold merchants learn more wisdom, learn more lessons, and do business for thousands of years, they may buy the power they want with money, but this is just the expansion of human nature.
In the legends about gods in the mainland, did Amun's words when he left inspired you? Is it not to create an ideal kingdom to let the faith guidance left by Aloha be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the holy temple in the mind? Opening the door of the temple is the way to heaven. If anyone does, he is the legendary Messiah. "
Jesus blinked, and after a long time he said, "do you mean that Kingdom already exists, and the arrival of the Savior only guides the lost to find their way there? To accept this kind of guidance, we do not distinguish between the sahelians or the Egyptians or the Maronites. God's glory will spread all over the land of Tianshu along with the temple in the heart. This is the meaning of the prophecy of Elijah? "
Old man: "I just pointed out the possibility, young people, how to understand it still needs to think for yourself. Have you ever thought about this possibility, have you ever thought about the same question? "
Jesus replied, "I thought about it in my meditation at night, but it's the first time I've heard it mentioned. In fact, I am still searching for the path that the gods have guided so far. "
The old man looked at Jesus and asked tentatively, "you don't look like a businessman. What did you go so far for?"
Jesus: "I'm a carpenter and a good carpenter. I'm afraid I can't find a job anywhere. I followed the caravan to Alexandria, where I saw the busiest port and the most spectacular lighthouse on the continent
The lighthouse mentioned by Jesus is an Alexandrian lighthouse built on an artificial island outside the port of Alexandria. It was ordered by Alexander and finally completed in the Ptolemaic era. It was built more than three hundred feet to the God of Tianlun, but it was built to guide the gods of Tianlun.
"Did you go to Alexandria to visit the world famous lighthouse?" the old man asked
Jesus looked a little embarrassed. He bowed his head and replied, "I really want to visit the library of Alexandria. I heard that there is the most abundant collection of books in the land of Tianshu since ancient times. Unfortunately, when I arrived in Alexandria, I knew that Caesar's army had been destroyed in the war. But the sight of Alexandria's Lighthouse also made up for the regret. All the most magnificent buildings I have seen in mainland China are dedicated to gods. Only this lighthouse is to guide the direction of mortals. On the contrary, I think the light on that tower is more like the glory of gods. "The old man's eyes showed admiration, and suddenly asked, "young man, are you looking for a way out of immortality?"
Jesus was stunned, as if he had seen through his mind, and his face turned slightly red, but he still nodded honestly: "yes, a long time ago, our God Aloha told the people of Salem that ordinary people can transcend eternal life and become angels in the kingdom of heaven. I have visited all parts of the mainland to find the way to this road. "
The old man asked with great interest: "it's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone in the world has the expectation of surpassing immortality. If possible, everyone is willing to try. It's a guide left by the gods. Looking for it doesn't mean inner greed. What's your purpose, then, to transcend immortality and become an angel
Jesus shook his head gently. "No, I want to guide more people to that path, to be the angel around aroha."
History seems to have gone through a cycle for hundreds of years. Amun, who went out of Duke town in those years, inherited the mission of unraveling the secret of becoming a God. He did it. Without the guidance of the divine system, he understood the original power of his own, made achievements beyond immortality, and then established the divine system to guide more people. Before Amun left, the Oracle had been sent down to tell the world that there was a way out of immortality.
So why did Jesus look for it on the mainland three hundred years later? The reason is very simple, even if you know that there is a path beyond immortality, it can not be in everyone's hands. God tells us that we can get rid of immortality, but it is only a hopeless hope and the most difficult road in the world.
To awaken the power of the source, at least one great achievers need to hold a ceremony and pass the test to understand and practice it. So even if the secret has been made public in the world, it can be mastered by the high priests of the temple, let alone spread among the people.
The temple of Amun in eju had been abandoned 50 years ago, and the world no longer offered sacrifices to this God. Naturally, the path beyond immortality guided by him could not be transmitted from the temple. The angels of heaven continue to guide the envoys on earth, but that is only the luck of individuals. The angels observe and select those who are likely to pass the test and gain achievements.
After merging the world of Prometheus, Zeus also changed the tradition of thousands of years. He also declared that mortals can become gods as long as he has qualified beliefs, qualities and achievements. In addition to the direct guidance of the gods, the way beyond immortality is, of course, guided by the major temples on earth. The high priests of many temples are the ambassadors of Olympus. There is no other way more convenient than this.
In this way, the secrets that originally belonged to the gods became the secrets held by the priests and magistrates on earth. It is said that only those who have the most devout faith in the gods and have done enough meritorious deeds are eligible for such guidance, and the gods will hold a ceremony for him to awaken the original power. This condition itself is fair, but in practice, it has become a symbol of privilege.
What's more interesting is that some people, who did not become gods, were declared gods by the temple after their death, enjoying the same treatment as the gods in human sacrifice, such as Caesar and Augustus. Of course, these two outstanding Maruo rulers were awakened to their original power, but their achievements were limited, let alone beyond immortality.
Jesus was not a Marlowe nobleman and did not believe in the Olympian gods. It was impossible for Jesus to get this secret from the Marlowe priests. In his hometown of salen plain, Aloha also left behind the guidance of two sides of one body. As long as this power is cultivated to level 8 achievement, he will naturally understand the original power and continue to embark on the road beyond immortality.
However, this secret is in the hands of the elders in Salem, and they can not hold ceremonies for people at will. First, the success rate of this ceremony is too low. Second, even if the power is awakened, it does not mean that the person can achieve great achievements or even surpass immortality. Moreover, even the elders themselves were reluctant to achieve great achievements.
To teach others the way of God's guidance must also be carefully examined. It must be of outstanding conduct and devout and firm faith. This requirement itself is correct, but in human operation, it will inevitably become a kind of controllable privilege. An ordinary carpenter like Jesus would hardly have this chance unless he had made a remarkable contribution to ask the elders and be allowed to do so.
Now the Salem are under the rule of the MAROS, and the elders of Salem have to be careful. The awakening ceremony of power is almost always carried out in secret. People like Jesus have no access to this opportunity. However, he also yearned for this road and went to all parts of the Tianshu continent in an attempt to find something in the ancient books. Interesting to say, this is what the old madman did, and a carpenter like Jesus wanted to do it.
But the situation of Jesus is different from that of Amon. In amon's time, no one thought that he could escape from eternal life. In Jesus' time, even ordinary carpenters knew that this hope existed.
Salem's belief in Aloha is very special in today's Tianshu continent. Because of its unique location, the Salang plain is a region with Black Fire Swamp in the west, Youdi River Valley in the East, Assyrian plateau in the north, saline inland lake and Syrian desert in the south, which is a difficult area to manage directly. The MAROS only set up governors here and left a small number of garrison to collect taxes from local merchants.At that time, DUK plain was at the junction of Assyria, hathi, balun and eju. It was the center of Tianshu continent, and the fertile land of thousands of miles was almost a place for strategists. However, with the formation of unprecedented empires such as Boz, Macedonian and Marlow, the cultural, political and military center of Tianshu has moved westward, and the Salem plain has become a relatively closed island.
It is because of such a special environment and the unique customs of the Salem people that the belief of Aloha can be preserved in general. The situation of Salem also symbolizes the kingdom of angels created by Amun. When Amun's divine domain was completely annexed by Olympus, Amun's kingdom of heaven almost became an island in the immortal eternity.
Elijah, the old storyteller, of course, knew what was going on in the world. When he heard Jesus, he saw the young man fall into meditation. After a long time, Jesus coughed softly and said, "what are you thinking, old man? Are you tired?"
The old man came back to his senses, and he was a little uneasy. He suddenly asked, "Jesus, do you know the miner's skill of the Salem?"
Jesus answered honestly, "I've learned and worked in mines, but I'm a carpenter. Today's Salem people have rarely learned the skills of miners, it is too difficult to master and too hard, people regard miners as a low work
He is telling the truth. The ancestors of Salem, the Duke people, have a unique talent precipitated in their blood and inherited their miner skills. However, before and after David Solomon established Salem, the descendants of Moses became the richest and most influential people in the land. Hundreds of years later, they also became the most successful businessmen in Tianshu. They traveled all over the Marlow Empire and even further away. Few people learned the skills of miners.
The old man stood up with a stick and said, "young man, where are you going next?"
Jesus: "I follow this caravan to balun. I plan to set out from Baron and find another caravan to travel to Tianzhu. I will continue to search and think there and see if there is any harvest?"
The old man said with a smile: "the footprints you have taken are the road you have verified. After returning from Tianzhu to your hometown, you will have some understanding. I wish you good luck, young man
At this time, the sun has set, the desert is no longer so hot, someone in the distance said: "Jesus, come back to set up a car, we have to continue our journey!"
Jesus bowed to the old man and returned to his motorcade. He was not only a carpenter, but also a driver, repairing damaged vehicles, taking care of camels and horses, and driving on the road in exchange for remuneration and accommodation provided by the caravan.
The caravan of camels and carriages left the ruins of the temple and marched westward again. The old man, leaning on his cane, looked out into the sun and narrowed his eyes and did not know what he was thinking.
Jesus drove his car to the sand dunes in the distance, but suddenly he seemed to feel something. He looked back inexplicably. The ruins of the temple were still in the direction of the horizon, but the water vendor, snake charmer and storyteller were all gone. Maybe it's too far away to see clearly.
……
Elijah returned to the kingdom of heaven. In a palace, he called the disciples of Amun and Mu Yun and other angels. He said in a joyful way: "I have sat by the abandoned temple for 50 years, and finally I met a man! He was a salleng, and when I told the true meaning of Elijah's prophecy, he was neither angry nor confused. He sincerely asked me for advice and admitted that he had thought the same way
"Can it be him?" medanzo said excitedly
"I can't confirm that, in fact, I don't feel any breath," Elia mused
Gabriel also asked, "why did you go back to heaven and call us all here? If you say that, there must be a reason. "
Elia said with emotion: "when he listened to my story, his eyes were so familiar! It was amon's eyes when he listened to Aesop's story And the tone of his voice. " With a wave of his hand, he showed a light and shadow message, "look at it for yourself. I think it's possible, but I can't be sure."
The angels also showed a look of excitement and thinking. Michael seagull said: "this young man named Jesus, what he wanted to do was almost the same as Nietzsche and amon in those years, but changed a situation and changed a way. In any case, this possibility exists. We must pay attention to him and try to make sure. "
"As long as this is possible, it's not difficult," Moses interrupted. "I have a ready-made way to make sure that he is the person we're looking for."
In his voice, with the divine message of the soul, Moses explained his method. In fact, it was very simple to give the iron staff of Amon to Jesus. This iron staff was made by Nietzsche for Amun. It has been his magic weapon and weapon all the time along with him, which has witnessed Amun's journey in the world.
Then Amun gave the iron staff to Moses. With this staff, Moses led the people back to the DUK plain through trials and tribulations. The staff made by the old madman can be inlaid with four special divine stones: the pupil of the earth, the blue water heart, the enchanting dance of the wind, and the flame spirit. The top of the staff can also be inlaid with tears of the gods. The reference is the staff of Isis guarding the Virgin.After Amun became a God, he refined the staff thoroughly for Moses. The four special god stones were no longer inlaid in the staff, but were completely integrated with the staff. With more magical effects, it was already a divine instrument. However, according to its original design, this artifact lacks the last thing, that is, the tears of the gods, which should also be integrated into one.
