Chapter 352

Some people began to throw things on Jesus, the first one and the second one. Rotten apples, rotten eggs, vegetable clappers and hard stones rained on Jesus until the soldiers escorting him were too much to bear. Jesus, with his eyes closed and shackled, marched through the streets of Salem from the temple square to the gate of the governor’s house in Marlowe.

Governor Marlowe heard the roar of the mountain outside his official residence. He realized that even if he wanted to keep Jesus’ life, he would be the first to lose his official post if there was a riot. He decided to obey God’s will and sentenced Jesus to death “at the request of the people.”.

When the verdict was announced, the crowd cheered. Jesus closed his eyes and murmured to himself, “flood, this is a great flood coming to me!”

Jesus was not simply put to death. He had to bear the lash first. The whip was a belt full of nails, which Jesus bore in silence. After the flogging, he was taken to the execution ground outside the city gate. The rioters appointed by the priests and the people who were incited still followed the execution team like a flood.

Some people tried their best to humiliate Jesus. They made a crown of thorny vines with thorns and put them on his head, shouting, “look, this is the Messiah of Salem, the Savior!” Yelling and spitting in his face. The bruised Jesus is bleeding, and the bright red blood reflects a faint golden light in the sun.

According to the law of the Marlowe Empire, the foot and arm of the criminals who have committed heinous crimes will be firmly nailed on the cross with big nails, and they will die of sunburn and thirst. It was an unimaginable torment, and only the citizens of Marlowe would be exempt from this terrible punishment – they would be executed if they committed capital crimes, but they would not have to go to the cross.

As part of the punishment, the death penalty should personally carry the heavy cross to the execution ground. But because of the torment of the mob, Jesus’ flesh and blood was already scarred and hobbled with his cross on his back. Even the escorted Marlowe soldiers couldn’t look down. They asked a pilgrim from other places to help Jesus carry the cross.

When the execution ground arrived, people placed the cross, held down Jesus’ outstretched arms, pushed his palms forward, took the long nail and nailed it into his palm. The blood kept flowing out

Jesus was nailed to the cross. The soldiers put up the cross and put it in the stone trough on the ground, and hung the son in the sun. The sun is just half the way from the horizon to the middle of the sky. The pain was almost unbearable, but Jesus did not faint. He watched and felt it all.

Jesus was not the only one to be executed on that day. There were two crosses on the left and one on the right, on which two other prisoners of death were hanged. The condemned man on the left saw Jesus and asked, “don’t you call yourself Messiah? In that case, I should have prayed to you for your salvation. But now you, like me, are hanging here in agony and waiting to die. ”

The prisoner on the right struggled and said, “shut up Then he said to Jesus, “when you become king, don’t forget to save me.”

How can Jesus be saved when he is crucified and ready to die? I didn’t expect that the prisoner on the cross would say such a thing at this time and here. Jesus finally revealed his first smile and said, “this is a special day. You will go to heaven soon.”

In the hot sun, Jesus’ hands and feet were bleeding along the nails, and his wounds were covered with blood scabs. The crowd still gathered on the execution ground, shouting abuse at Jesus.

The disciples of Jesus also crowded into the crowd and came out of the cordon set by the soldiers. Their faces were stained with tears. The mother of Jesus also came, and with the help of his disciples, she was already standing precarious. The disciple John heard Jesus’ voice in his soul: “please take care of my mother.” John couldn’t speak, only nodded in silence.

At noon, the sun suddenly darkened, the sky was thick with clouds, and the day seemed to be dusk. Jesus hung on the cross, suffering from flesh and blood. Looking down at the crowd on the execution ground, he raised his head and looked at the distance. He could just see the magnificent outline of the temple in Salem city. He looked at it quietly and felt it.

The sun moved behind the dark clouds, half the distance from the midheaven to the western horizon. The angels in heaven are also staring at this scene in silence. Medanzo, the chief of the angels, has already mixed into the crowd on the execution ground, and he can’t see it anymore.

Medanzo knew very well that what was crucified was the flesh and blood of mortals, and Jesus was suffering as much as any other. He quietly pointed to a soldier on duty on the execution ground and said in his heart, “it’s over!”

The soldier suddenly stood up and raised his spear, unaware that it was the key to fate. The spear went into Jesus’ rib, and the blood from the wound was pale gold. Jesus said the last word: “I forgive them – they don’t know what they’re doing! See the dome of the temple – this is what I bear

Jesus finally died, and the soldier stood there in a daze with his spear in his hand, and medanzo had taken back the key to his fate.

It was not only Jesus and two other condemned men who died on that day. Judas also hanged in a tree where he led his soldiers to identify Jesus’ hill. Some say he hanged himself for betraying Jesus, while others say he was killed by a buyer because this shameful traitor is no longer useful. But no one paid attention to Judas’s death, as if mentioning this man’s name symbolized betrayal and humiliation.……

When Jesus died and the crowd dispersed, those who truly loved Jesus stayed in tears. With the permission of governor Marlowe, they untied the body of Jesus, wrapped it in white linen, and buried him temporarily in the garden of the backyard of a wealthy follower’s home, and built a tomb with stones according to traditional rituals.

There is also a God in the cloud watching invisible, he witnessed all this, trying to pry into the mystery of Amun’s proof. He watched Jesus buried, but he didn’t find that Amun had returned to heaven. Where did he go? Is the soul reincarnated and lost in the cycle of the world?

At the thought of this possibility, the spirit was puzzled and at the same time showed a smile of schadenfreude. Just then, a voice sounded in his ear: “Apollo, you shouldn’t be here!”

Apollo turned around and saw Amun’s figure appear in front of him. Amun looked at him coldly and said, “I have not forgiven you. Have you ever regarded John the Baptist as me in the rotation?”

Apollo’s heart is not good, but found that the whole body has been wrapped in a golden halo. The golden light is like a chain, tightening up, melting his body and spirit. Apollo let out an unwilling roar, the cloud suddenly burst with golden light!

……

In the night after Jesus died, all the people in Salem were awakened by a loud noise. There was an explosion of golden light in the sky, which made Salem more dazzling than the day. The earth was shaking gently, and people rushed out of the house into the street. The dazzling golden light in the sky makes people can’t see things clearly for a long time, and the huge sound makes people can’t hear the sound for a long time. This situation is like the earth shattering.

Many, many years later, when people talked about what happened on that day, they said that the execution of Jesus by Salem caused God’s anger. At that time, Amun appeared in the cloud, and Apollo fell on the spot.

……

When there was a loud noise from the sky, in the dark garden, Mary saw Jesus’ tomb in the light of the light. She was surprised to find that the stone that sealed the door had been removed, and that the tomb was empty and there was no body of Jesus.

How did Maria come here alone? After midnight is the sabbath of the Salem. The followers agreed that when the Sabbath was over, they would offer Jesus balm and flowers, and then bury the straw burial body in accordance with the traditional ceremony. But Maria couldn’t rest, she couldn’t wait for a day, so she went to the garden alone in the middle of the night.

The body of Jesus disappeared, and Maria quickly turned around and looked around, but the golden light in the sky was still shining, and there was no sight around.

As the golden light faded, the reverberation from the sky faded away. In the dark, Maria’s hand was moved down the grave. During the day on the execution ground, she thought her tears had dried up, but now she could not help weeping. Her shoulders trembled in the dark, suppressing the cry.

Just then, Maria found a light coming from behind. She heard a voice asking, “Why are you crying here?”

Mary turned and saw two angels saluting her. They are covered with soft light, a pair of white wings spread out from behind, it is Gabriel and George, the former Guardian warrior and high priest of the temple of eguiris.

But Maria didn’t know them. With tears on her face, she replied, “he’s gone. Did you take him away?”

“Maria, I’m here.” A voice so familiar to her replied that amon came from the garden and stood in front of her with a smile.

He was not only much more handsome than Jesus, but also had an indescribable aura of holiness. But somehow, Maria recognized at a glance that he was the one she was crying for!

The panic and sadness had been thrown out of the sky in an instant. Maria threw herself into Amun’s arms. Amon reached out and brushed the tears off her face. Maria looked at his face in her arms and asked, “what should I call you?”
