Chapter 336

Some people began to argue that John was the Messiah predicted by Elijah, especially the broad masses of the bottom Salem and many Samaritans were full of hope for this, and the news gradually spread to Herod's ears. John himself never put himself in this position. He just remembered what Jesus said: "Messiah is not a title, but an achievement. Only with that kind of vow and mission can we achieve success. He can be you or I, it's not who we call ourselves! "

That's what John did, and people couldn't help talking about it. King Herod knew it, and so did the Maronites. Of course, the Olympus Gods could not have been unaware of it.

John was upright and often denounced the elders of Salem for their pedantry and arrogance, King Herod's greed and wickedness in his public preaching. Finally one day, King Herod ordered people to find a slander and blasphemy, arrested John and put him in a prison underground.

John himself was the son of a priest, and he had many believers in the people. Although King Herod put him in prison, he pretended that it was not his intention and explained to the people around him that it was his queen Herodias. He admired John's honesty and courage in his heart, and he was willing to respect John even though he was guilty of offence.

Although John was imprisoned in a dungeon, many of his followers could still hear the voice of the guide while meditating at night. John has been a great achiever to awaken the original power, but no one knows what kind of state he has already possessed? Although John's special purpose was not to keep himself in prison, he did not want to keep himself in prison.

Herod knew that many of the Salem and Samaritans believed that John was the predicted Messiah, and he didn't want to be thought that he wanted to kill him. But if John breaks out of prison, other charges will be ignored first. The crime of escaping from prison will be settled down and will always be the status of a fugitive. On the other hand, Herod knew that the Olympian gods would not let this man go.

The governor of the Maronites had sent a message to Herod that Apollo would punish John. King Herod also knew that twenty years ago, governor Marlow had also sent the oracle of Apollo to his father, King Herod, to search the newborn babies around Salem for possible evil parasites.

In fact, the old king Herod knew very well that what the Maronites wanted to search was the Messiah predicted by Elijah. But he did, for the simple reason, because he didn't want to lose his dominance, and now Herod the younger thought the same. If people think that John is the son of arakho and will be the king who will lead the Salem to establish a new kingdom, then it means that Herod's rule will be overthrown before the Maronite rule is overthrown.

No matter who the predicted Messiah is, Herod can only accept himself, but also hide this selfishness. In retrospect, John escaped the search because he was the son of a priest in Salem's temple. Now it seems that the person the Olympians are looking for is probably him!

……

As time went by, King Herod's birthday arrived. All the nobles in Salem were invited to attend the celebration in the palace. King Herod prepared a grand feast for the guests. After eating and drinking, of course, there are all kinds of performances. Folk artists with unique skills come to perform in the palace. There are also bards who make poems to praise God and the great king. The climax is a sword dance.

Herodias, Herodias' wife, ordered her daughter Salome to dance for Herod and his guests. Salome was the daughter of Herod's brother, but Herod later married Herodias, his brother's wife, and Salome became his stepdaughter. The young and beautiful dancer walked into the hall and danced with a sword to the sound of a drum like soundboard.

Her eyes are brown, beautiful features, eyes clear as water, but a little chilly, but when she smile, like the spring breeze melting ice and snow, appears to be so gentle and charming. Salome is not just holding a sword as a prop to gently dance. Obviously, she can really martial arts, but it is integrated into Miaoman's dance to show the moving beauty of hardness and softness.

The sound of the soundtrack fluctuates slowly. The sword in the girl's hand is sprinkled with silver light, which sets off her graceful posture. She sings a poem with a graceful voice -

please tell me that God is my light, my salvation and the guarantee of my life.

Tell me, in the light of God, fearless of the enemy's sword and spear.

Then who am I afraid of, who am I afraid of, and who will be hurt.

When the enemy's chariots and horses rushed, his heart was not afraid, behind him was the tent of God.

He had raised his head to his enemies, sacrificed himself to God, and listened to the singing of the sky.

O God, the God of my salvation, do not forsake your people.

I am looking for you. Please listen and have mercy. Don't hide your face from me.

Whose desertion is this, whose crime are you forgiving? Please strengthen my heart, I will see you!

This is a hymn to the gods, which has been popular on the Tianshu road for a long time. For hundreds of years, Salem people have sung it to express their respect for Aloha. The girl is so charming, her singing voice is so moving, and her sword dance is amazing. The audience are deeply intoxicated and even forget to cheer.When a song was over, Salome saluted Herod with elegant posture, and the audience was surprised that the dance was over, and they clapped and cheered!

King Herod had drunk a lot of wine, and his face was red with excitement, and he said to Salome, "you deserve the heaviest reward for this extraordinary dance! My daughter, please say, whatever you want, as long as I can give it to you! "

Salome was about to open her mouth when she heard a voice in her soul: "listen, dancer in the palace. This is the will of God. You will answer, you will ask your mother, and your mother will tell you - the reward you want is the head on the neck of John the Baptist. "

As the light in Salome's eyes faded, she saluted Herod and said, "father, I am going to ask the queen mother." He turned away from the hall.

……

John in the dungeon is sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, but suddenly he hears the ethereal song in his soul, which seems to be the memory of many years. He opened his eyes in the dark and thought of a man who had been the flower of dreams, themisfei. Before returning to Salem, the Baptist had passed the test of life and death. In the many reincarnation experiences, a man named John had also enjoyed this chant in a brothel in egumfeith.

His name in this world happens to be John, and this name is very common in Tianshu, but it is not a particularly surprising coincidence.

The song was obviously sent into his soul by the singer, and it was transmitted from the palace to the dungeon in the distance. However, the guards of the dungeon were not aware of it. This shows that the singer also has a great achievement. John already knew what was going to happen, and he seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

As expected, after a short time, a light suddenly appeared in the dark dungeon, and the gloomy breath disappeared without a trace. It seemed that this place became a warm and quiet world, and was separated from the outside world by the space divinity. Salome's figure appeared in front of John, looked at him and said, "John, do you remember me?"

John stood up and looked at her with a gentle smile: "I remember the song. There was a girl named themisfei who danced and sang to a general named John in Memphis, eju."

Salome's eyes twinkled: "it seems that I don't need to tell you anything more. Your achievements have reached the end of the human road. This small dungeon can't hold you."

John nodded and said, "I have witnessed endless life. When I see you, it is the final test. But I am no longer General John, and you are not a dreamfly flower. "

Salome looked at John, and her face and breath were changing. She was no longer Salome, nor had she become the flower of dreams. Instead, she revealed the true face of the goddess Themis and said slowly, "but you are still you, I am still me."

In her voice, there is a magic message in her voice. The origin of the dream flying flower and a series of subsequent events are printed into John's soul. John went up to her, took one of her hands and said, "I know, angel Moses has told me. How can I describe my gratitude? Three hundred years ago, you left Olympus and found me

Themis looked down at John's hand and whispered, "I don't need your gratitude. Can't you be more active?"

John laughed, opened his arms and took her into his arms, stroked her waist and said, "it seems that no one here knows that Salome is the goddess who left Olympus."

"I haven't revealed my identity all the time. Naturally, I won't be known. Today, in the palace, someone has delivered such an oracle to me. "

John asked, "do you know who's behind the scenes?"

"This time it was Apollo, who had lost his bets and would always retreat in front of Amun," said Themis. Later, Amun fell into the world and was no longer his original identity. Apollo naturally wanted to prevent Amun's verification, and even hoped that Amun would never return to heaven. "

John sneered: "stupid Apollo, he really mistook me as the God Amun in rotation! I deliberately let him misunderstand, but what's the point of his doing so? Even if you get rid of Jesus, Amun will not fall, but will continue to rotate. When Amun returns to heaven, does he want to end well? The next time I meet Amun, I'm afraid he will die. "
