MTL - Pivot of the Sky-v2 Chapter 332 The meaning of prophecy

The world no longer believes in God Améng, and forgets all his glory and sacredness. And the statue of Améng lying on the sand dunes just like a silent sign that this deity has re-entered the world cycle.

But all this does not prevent the story of Améng from continuing to spread. People may be interested in this ancient myth because of a kind of bizarre psychology. As a kind of adjustment in the journey of loneliness, it is like listening to various things that have nothing to do with it. Fun stories on earth.

Where there is a caravan to rest, most people will take the opportunity to do business. For example, next to the ruins of this temple, a hawker packed a spring with a skin bag and sold it. Not far from the hawker, there was a well-dressed entertainer playing the flute. In front of him was a basket with a standing snake twisting, as if dancing with the flute. The passing businessman looked interesting, and would drop a few bait coins in a pottery bowl at his feet.

Ilya also went into the country to follow the custom, sitting on a scattered stone under the shadow of the statue of Yin, holding a cane, and placing a pottery bowl in front of him, like a folk storyteller. If the passerby is happy, I hope the old man will talk a little more, and he will throw a few copper coins into the bowl. But this ruin is too desolate and remote. Although caravans pass by every day, there are few hawkers and entertainers who come here. Only Ilya comes almost every day.

The sunshine on this day was extraordinarily enthusiastic. The rested drivers, guards and businessmen tried to curl up in the yin shadow of the idol. They kept sweating and panting while waving their fans. There were a lot of listening to the old man telling stories, but few Individual Ken stood up and threw a copper coin into his bowl.

At this time, a young man went to the hawker to buy a bucket of water, walked over and handed it to Ilya: "This old man, you have been talking for a long time, you should be thirsty, drink water to moisten your throat. I see you even Lou Shui, who is in Shengshui, did n’t bring any. He should live near here, but it ’s inconvenient to walk here, and this one is for you. ”

The old man told such a long story in such a dry and hot desert, but there was no husky in his voice. The wrinkles on his forehead were deep, but his eyes were clear and bright, not like an old man. The old man looked up at the young man, took the skin bag with a smile, and stood up from the stone and bowed quietly, "Thank you, the **** has endowed you with goodness." The young man bowed and said, "It should be me Thank you for telling us such a long and wonderful legend at such a hot noon, like a cool wind coming from the desert. "The old man smiled and said," I am talking about the legendary young man of the God of Améng, may I ask Where do you come from and believe in gods? "

The young man replied, "I am a cold-reliefman from the cold-relief plain. I believe in my god, the Aro River.

The old man asked again, "Do you like to listen to the story of God Améng? He is the **** that the Eju people once worshiped." The young man laughed: "When people like to listen, your story is wonderful. There are stories all over the mainland Different deities and legends express people's beliefs or past beliefs. In these legends, they also include the world ’s understanding of God and their own wishes. It can help people think about how to think about the beliefs of gods in their hearts. ? "

The young man was in his early twenties, with thick, dark brown hair with curly hair, a strong and slender figure, and strong hands covered with calluses. He looks very handsome, the outlines of the five senses are vaguely strong, and when he smiles, he looks good, and he has an invisible appeal.

The old man nodded and said, "Are you still willing to listen?"

The young man stooped down and put down a few copper coins in the pottery bowl: "If you are not tired, take a sip of rest, and I want to hear the next story."

The old man opened the stopper of the skin bag, took a few sips of water, and continued to tell the legend of the **** Améng.

At this time, a cloud drifted to cover the blazing sunlight, and a distant cool wind was blowing in the distance. The desert seemed to be extra quiet, and the voice spoken by the old man seemed particularly clear beside the ruins of the temple.

The old man just talked about the battle between the **** Améng and the gods of Olympus, and then talked about how Améng accepted the challenge of Artemis on the cloud and was shot down by an arrow. The listeners not far away made an "Oh" sound, as if suddenly realized, some people could not help but interjected: "No wonder this temple was abandoned. It was Zeus who defeated Améng, and the gods of Olympus annexed Améng. On the earth. "

Another explained: "That was because the rise of the Maro Empire conquered Eju and asked them to convert to the gods of Olympus, and then people made up such a legend, using the story of the gods to explain Things, or use human things to symbolize the encounter of the gods. "

The people in the caravan went north and south and were well informed, and the words they spoke were not unreasonable. But the young man asked Ilya with interest: "According to you, it seems that God Améng also returned to the world voluntarily. What did he say when he left? Did Zeus really defeat him?" Lifting the cane and pointing at the lying idol said: "Yes, it seems that Zeus defeated him. Or that the Maro Empire conquered Eju and ordered to change the people's beliefs. But God Améng said when he left. However, the faith he guided will be accompanied by people's temples in the so-called divine realm of Zeus, and then he will return to his kingdom of heaven. It is also said that Améng will guide people to build a new kingdom on earth, Defeat Zeus completely. "

Hearing here, the young man frowned slightly: "Myths everywhere have similarities. In my hometown, I have heard another version. The protagonist in the story is not a **** like Améng, but appears. Messiah on earth. "

The old man's eyes brightened and he looked at Améng and said, "What you said is the prophecy of Elijah? I have heard it from the withdrawal merchants. But I don't know how it spreads in your hometown. Can you tell me if you like? I can also tell this legend to people passing by. "

The young man replied: "Of course I can tell you that the prophecy of Elijah has been circulating in my hometown for hundreds of years, and it has become an expectation of the people. The Messiah will come and lead the people who truly believe in the Aro to their own. Homeland ....

The old man nodded and said, "This is the true face of Elijah's prophecy. It is more like a parable. How do people understand it in your hometown?"

The young man replied: "In my hometown, the Hermit believes that there will be a person who is not only a prophet like Elijah, but also a savior appointed by the gods. He will lead the Hermit to freedom from rule Fate, to build an ideal country. Just like Moses, our ancestor of the Hermits, led the peoples from the slaves of the Ejus and established the Hermits on the Duke Plain. "

The Cold City was not originally established by Moses, but by Link and Aesop. But later, David ordered the demolition of the Améng temple and the construction of the Aro River Temple. This is the history that young people have heard. Because there were others beside him, the young man was very careful in his wording. He did not directly state the desire of the retreat to overthrow the Maro Empire and even conquer and replace the Maro Empire to rule the Tianshu continent.

In fact, those words here don't matter too much. This is a caravan of evacuees. It also employs Ecu's groom and guards. There are no Maro soldiers and officials here.

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked quietly, "I have told the story of the gods to the pedestrians here for a long time, and I have heard too many legends, some of them are known, some are not yet Understand. Young man, have you ever thought about another possibility, the prophecy left by Ilya is another meaning? The Messiah guided people to build not a great empire like Marrow, but Is it another homeland? "

The young man also narrowed his eyes, "Oh? I heard this for the first time! What do you mean?"

The old man said unhurriedly: "The Hermits believe in the Aro River as the only god, just like the Eju people once believed in the **** Améng, and the Maro people believe in the gods of Olympus. I want to ask What is the meaning of your so-called only god? How is this **** different from the other god? Is it because people think that they are noble, so they believe that the gods they believe in are also noble? Is it possible that this is just a arrogant superiority and self-suggestion? Should they have the status of transcending others? "The young man froze for a moment, as if thinking, and did not answer immediately. At this time, someone in the caravan shouted angrily: "Jesus, don't listen to that old man nonsense anymore, that's the voice of Satan! The only God is the only God, and God once agreed with Moses" except me You cannot have other gods. Don't let the voice of Satan shake your will and destroy our hope.

The young man named **** replied: "This is the border between Egypt and Egypt, and under the rule of the Maro Empire. This old gentleman has not received the shining light of the Aro River, and it is perfectly normal for him to ask this question. But God ’s glory lies in guidance. People do n’t have this kind of faith. Why are you angry? When you see regret, you should also see hope. This shows that God ’s glory can also shine more spirits. "Joseph, you kind and ignorant child! The Aro River is the **** of the cold-removing people, and the cold-removing people are the people who made a covenant with God. How could this alien old man understand? "The old man shook his head in the direction of the voice:" This businessman who is trekking in the desert, you are seeking your wealth. It is given by God and also earned by labor. This is the same for the world. Is it in your understanding that the glory of the gods only shines on the coldheads? Then I ask you, if other people also believe in Aroho, will the light of God shine on him, and will God give him the same blessings and promises as those who dismissed him? "!.
