Chapter 330

The world no longer believes in Amun and forgets all his glory and holiness. The statue of Amun lying on the sand dune just symbolizes that the God has entered the world cycle again. But all this does not prevent the story of Amun to continue to spread. People may be interested in this ancient myth out of a curiosity psychology. As a kind of adjustment in the lonely journey, it is just like listening to all kinds of human anecdotes that have nothing to do with themselves.

Most of the places where there are caravans will take advantage of the opportunity to do business. For example, beside the ruins of the temple, a peddler packed a spring with a leather bag and sold it. Not far from the peddler’s side, there was an artist in ragged clothes playing his flute. In front of him was a basket. In the basket, a snake was twisting, as if dancing to the sound of the flute. A passing businessman looks at it and finds it interesting. He will drop several copper coins in a pottery bowl at his feet.

Elia also did as the Romans do, sitting on a scattered stone in the shadow of the statue, leaning on a walking stick, with a pottery bowl in front of her, just like a folk storyteller. If passers-by are happy to hear that, I hope the old man will say more and throw some copper coins into the bowl. But the ruins are so desolate and remote. Although caravans pass by every day, there are few peddlers and entertainers who come here. Only Elijah comes almost every day.

The sun was especially warm on that day. The rickshaw pullers, guards and businessmen all curled up in the shadow of the statue, waving their fans and sweating and panting. Some of them listened to the old man’s story, but few of them stood up and threw a copper coin into his bowl.

At this time, a young man went to the peddler and bought a bag of water. He passed it to Elia and said, “this old man, you have been talking for a long time. You should be thirsty. Drink water to moisten your throat. I don’t think you even have a leather bag for holding water. You should live near here, but it’s inconvenient to walk here. I’ll give you this leather bag. ”

The old man told a story in such a dry and hot desert for such a long time, but his voice was not hoarse. He had deep wrinkles on his forehead, but his eyes were clear and bright. He didn’t look like an old man at all. The old man looked up at the young man with a smile, took the leather bag, stood up from the stone, bowed a little and said, “thank you, God has given you good quality.”

The young man bowed back and said, “I should thank you for telling us such a long and wonderful legend on such a hot and dry noon, just like a cool wind coming from the desert.”

The old man said with a smile, “I’m talking about the legend of Amun God. Young man, where do you come from and believe in gods?”

The young man replied, “I am a salleng, from Salem plain. I believe in my God Aloha.”

The old man asked again, “do you like to hear the story of Amun? He was the God of the Egyptians. ”

The young man laughed: “of course, I like to listen. Your story is wonderful. There are different legends of gods all over the mainland, which express people’s beliefs or beliefs. In these legends, people’s understanding of divinity and their own wishes are also included in these legends. It can help people to think about and how to think about their belief in the gods? ”

The young man was in his early twenties, with thick dark brown hair and curly hair. He was strong and straight, and his powerful hands were covered with calluses. His appearance is very handsome, the outline of his facial features vaguely reveals a firm temperament, when he opens his mouth to smile, it is very good-looking, but also with an invisible appeal.

The old man nodded and said, “would you like to continue listening?”

The young man bent down and put down a few copper coins in the pottery bowl: “if you are not tired, have a drink and have a rest. I also want to hear the next story.”

The old man opened the plug of his skin bag, drank a few water, and then continued to tell the legend of Amun. At this time, a cloud came to cover the blazing sun, and a cool wind was blowing from the distance. It seemed that the desert became very quiet, and the voice of the old man was very clear beside the ruins of the temple.

The old man just talked about the fight between Amun and the Olympus Gods. Then he talked about Amun accepting the challenge of Artemis on the cloud and being shot down by an arrow. The audience not far away all uttered a “Oh” sound, as if they suddenly realized that someone could not help but interrupt: “no wonder this temple has been abandoned. It turns out that Zeus defeated Amun, and the Olympus Gods annexed Amun’s territory on earth.”

Another person explained: “it was because of the rise of the great empire of Marlowe, which conquered eju and asked them to convert to Olympus Gods. Then people made up this kind of legend, explaining human affairs with the stories of gods, or symbolizing the encounter of gods with human affairs.”

The people in the caravan have traveled from place to place and are well-informed. What they say is reasonable. But the young man asked Elijah with great interest and said, “according to you, Amun seems to have returned to the world voluntarily. What did he say when he left? Did Zeus really defeat him? ”

The old man raised his stick and pointed to the statue lying beside him and said, “yes, it seems that Zeus defeated him, or that the Marlowe Empire conquered eju and ordered the people’s faith to be changed. But when Amun left, he said that the faith he guided would spread all over Zeus’s so-called divine realm, and then he would return to his kingdom of heaven. It is also said that amon will guide people to build a new kingdom and completely defeat ZeusHearing this, the young man frowned slightly and said: “there are always similarities in the myths of different places. In my hometown, I have heard another version. The protagonist of the story is not a god like Amon, but a Messiah in the world.”

The old man’s eyes lit up and looked at the young man: “are you talking about the prophecy of Elijah the prophet? I have also heard from the merchants of Salem. But I don’t know how it is spread in your hometown now. Can you tell me if you want? I can also tell this legend to passers-by. ”

The young man replied, “of course, I can tell you that Elijah’s prophecy has spread in my hometown for hundreds of years and has become a kind of expectation. The Messiah will come and lead the people who truly believe in aratha to their home country. ”

The old man nodded and said, “this is the true face of Elijah’s prophecy. It is more like a fable. How do people understand it in your hometown? ”

The young man then replied, “in my hometown, the Salem believed that there would come a man who was not only a prophet like Elijah, but also a Deliverer appointed by the gods. He will lead the Salem out of the fate of being ruled and establish an ideal country. Just like Moses, our ancestor of Salem, who led his people out of the slavery of the Egyptians and established Salem on the plain of DUK

Salem was not built by Moses, but by link and Aesop. But later, David ordered the temple of Amun to be demolished and the temple of aroha to be built. This is what the young people heard about history. As there were other people nearby, the young man paid attention to his words and did not directly say that the salleng wanted to overthrow the Marlow Empire, or even conquer and replace the Marlow Empire to rule Tianshu.

In fact, it doesn’t matter much to say those words here. This is a salleng caravan, which employs equ’s coachman and guard. There are no Malo soldiers and officials here.

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked quietly: “I have been here for a long time to tell the stories of gods to passers-by, and I have heard too many legends, some of which are known by people, some are unknown to people. Young man, have you ever thought about another possibility, that Elijah’s prophecy is another meaning? What the Messiah guides people to build is not a great empire like Marlowe, but a home country in another sense? ”

The young man also narrowed his eyes: “Oh? It’s the first time I’ve heard that! What do you mean? ”

The old man said slowly: “the Salans believe in Aloha as the only God, just as the Egyptians once believed in Amun as their God, while the MAROS believed in the Olympus Gods. I want to ask you – what is the meaning of the so-called only God? What is the difference between this God and that God? Is it that people think they are noble and therefore believe that the gods they believe in are more noble? Is it possible that this is just a kind of arrogant sense of superiority and that self suggestion should have the status of surpassing others

The young man was slightly stunned, as if thinking, and did not immediately answer. At this time, someone in the caravan called out angrily, “Jesus, don’t listen to that old man’s nonsense any more. It’s the voice of Satan! The only God is the only God. God once agreed with Moses, “you can’t have any other gods except me.” Don’t let Satan’s voice shake your will and destroy our hope. ”

The young man named Jesus turned back and said, “this is the border of Egypt, and it is also under the rule of the Marlowe empire. The old gentleman had not received the light of aroha, and it was perfectly normal for him to ask such questions. But God’s glory lies in guidance. People are not born with this belief. Why should you be angry? Regret should be accompanied by hope, which shows that the glory of God can shine on more souls. ”

Another voice called out, “Jesus, you good and ignorant child! Aloha is the God of Salem, and the Salem is a nation that has made a treaty with God. How can this alien old man understand it? ”

The old man shook his head in the direction of the voice and said, “this businessman who is trekking in the desert, you are looking for your wealth. It is given by the gods and the income of labor. This is the same for all the people of the world. Is it in your understanding that the light of the gods only shines on the salleng? Then I ask you, if other people believe in Aloha, will the light of God shine on him, and will God give him the same blessing and agreement as the sallengers? ”
