The world no longer believes in the **** Amun, and forgets all his glory and sacredness. The statue of Amun lying on the sand dunes is silently signifying that this **** has re-entered the world cycle.

But all this does not prevent Amon ’s story from continuing to spread. People may be interested in this ancient myth out of a strange psychology. As a spice in a lonely journey, it sounds like it has nothing to do with yourself All kinds of human anecdotes.

Most of the places where caravans are resting will have people who take advantage of the opportunity to do business. For example, next to the ruins of this shrine, there is a peddler who sold the spring water in a leather bag. Not far from the hawker, there was a ragged entertainer playing the flute. In front of him was a basket with a standing snake twisting, as if dancing with the sound of the flute. The passing businessman looked interesting and dropped a few bait coins in a pottery bowl at his feet.

Ilia also went to the countryside to follow the custom, sitting on a scattered stone in the shadow of the god, leaning on a cane, and in front of him was a pottery bowl, just like a folk storyteller. If the passerby is happy, I hope that the old man will speak a little more, and will also throw some copper coins into the bowl. But this ruin is too desolate and remote. Although there are caravans passing by every day, there are few hawkers and entertainers coming here. Only Ilya comes almost every day.

The sun is extremely warm on this day. The driver, guards and merchants who are resting are curled up in the shadow of the idol as much as possible, waving their fans sweating and panting, and listening to the old people telling stories, but Not many people stood up and threw a copper coin into his bowl.

At this time, a young man went to the peddler to buy a bag of water, and walked over and handed it to Ilya: "This old man, you have been talking for a long time. You should be thirsty. Drink some water to moisten your throat. I Seeing that you did n’t even bring Lou Sang of Shengshui, you should live here, but it ’s not convenient to get here, this skin sac will be given to you. "

The old man told the story for so long in such a dry and hot desert, but his voice was not hoarse. The wrinkles on his forehead were deep, but his eyes were clear and bright, and he was not like an old man at all. The old man looked up at the young man, took the sac with a slight smile, stood up from the stone and bowed lightly: "Thank you, the gods have given you a good quality." The young man bowed back and said: "It should be me Thank you, in such a hot noon, telling us such a long and wonderful legendary story, just like a cool wind blowing in the desert. "The old man smiled and said:" I am talking about the legendary young man of Amun God, may I ask Where do you come from, do you believe in gods? "

The young man replied: "I am a cold deserter from the cold desert plain, and I believe in my **** Aro.

The old man asked again: "Do you like to listen to the story of God Amon? He was a **** once believed by the Egyptians." The young man smiled: "When people like to listen, the stories you tell are wonderful. The mainland There are different legends of gods everywhere, expressing people ’s beliefs or previous beliefs. In these legends, they also contain the world ’s understanding of divinity and their own wishes. It can help people think about how to think about the right God's faith? "

The young man was in his early twenties, with thick dark brown hair slightly curled, a sturdy and tall body, and strong hands covered with calluses. His appearance is very handsome, and the outline of the facial features vaguely reveals a strong temperament. When he smiles, it looks good, and it has an invisible appeal.

The old man nodded and said, "Are you willing to continue listening?"

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

The old man opened the stopper of the skin sac, drank a few sips of water, and continued to tell the legend of Amun.

At this time, a cloud floated over the blazing sunlight, and a cool wind blew in the distance. The desert seemed to become extraordinarily quiet. The voice of the old man was also very clear beside the ruins of this temple.

The old man just talked about the battle between the **** Amon and the gods of Olympus. Then he talked about the challenge of Amun accepting Artemis on the cloud and was shot down by a single arrow. The audience not far away all made an "Oh" sound, as if suddenly realized that some people couldn't help but interjected: "No wonder this temple was abandoned. It was Zeus who defeated Amon. The gods of Olympus annexed Amon. A place in the world. "

Another person explained: "That was because the rise of the Maro Empire conquered Egü and asked the Egü people to convert to the gods of Olympus. Then people made up this kind of legend, using the story of the gods Explain human things, or use human things to symbolize the encounter of gods. "

People in the caravan travel from south to north and are well-informed, and what they say is not unreasonable. The young man asked Ilya with great interest: "According to your opinion, God Amon seems to have returned to the world voluntarily. What did he say when he left? Did Zeus really defeat him?" The old man He raised his cane and pointed to the lying **** beside him: "Yes, it seems that Zeus defeated him. Or that the Maro Empire conquered Egü and ordered to change the faith of the people. But when the **** Amun said However, the faith he directs will accompany the temple in people ’s hearts throughout the so-called **** realm of Zeus, and he will return to his kingdom by then. It is also said that Amon will guide people to build a new kingdom in the world. Completely defeat Zeus. "

Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly: "Myths everywhere have similarities. In my hometown, I have heard another version, but the protagonist in the story is not a **** like Amon. It is the Messiah that appears in the world. "

The old man ’s eyes lighted up and he looked at Amon: "You are talking about the prophet Ilya ’s prophecy? I have heard the mention of the cold merchants. But I do n’t know if it ’s in your hometown. How can it be spread, if you want, can you tell me? I can also tell this legend to people passing by. "

The young man replied: "Of course I can tell you that Ilya ’s prophecy has been circulating in my hometown for hundreds of years and has become a kind of expectation. The Messiah will come and lead people who truly believe in the Aro River Reaching their homeland ....

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

The young man then replied, "In my hometown, the people who believe in cold will believe that someone will come. He is not only a prophet like Ilya, but also a savior appointed by the gods. He will lead the cold people Get rid of the fate of rule and build an ideal country. Just like our ancestor Moses, who led the tribe to get rid of the enslavement of the Aju people, and established the city of Tuoleng on the Duque Plains. "

The cold city was not established by Moses, but by Link and Aesop. But later, David ordered the demolition of the Amon Temple and the construction of the Temple of the Auro River, and the history heard by the young people became like this. Because there were others beside him, the young man was very careful in his wording, and did not directly express the desire of the Tuoleng people to overthrow the Marlow Empire and even conquer and replace the Marlow Empire to rule the Tianshu continent.

In fact, it does n’t matter much to speak those words here. This is a caravan that evacuates the people, and hires Egu ’s grooms and guards. There are no Marlow soldiers and officials here.

The old man narrowed his eyes, and asked quietly: "I have been telling the stories of gods to the pedestrians in the past for a long time, and I have heard too many legends, some people know, some people I do n’t know yet. Young man, have you thought about another possibility, the prophecy that Ilya left behind has another meaning? That Messiah guided people to build not a great empire like Maro , But a homeland in another sense? "

The young man narrowed his eyes: "Oh? This is the first time I heard this! What do you mean?"

The old man said unhurriedly: "The Tuoleng people believe in the Aro river as the only god, just as the Iju people once believed in Amon as their god, and the Maro people believed in the gods of Olympus. I want to ask you what is the meaning of a so-called unique god? What is the difference between this **** and 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 this possible just a sense of arrogant superiority? , Should self-suggestion have a status that surpasses others? "The young man stunned slightly, as if thinking, and did not immediately answer. At this time, the caravan shouted annoyedly: "Jesus, don't listen to that old man's nonsense anymore, that's the voice of Tutan! The only **** is the only god, God had agreed with Moses" Except me You cannot have other gods. Do n’t let the voice of Tuan Dan shake your will and destroy our hope.

The young man named Jose turned back and said: "This is the border between Egypt and Egypt, and it is also under the rule of the Maro Empire. This old gentleman has not received the glorious shining of the Aro River, he raised this question. It is perfectly normal. But the brilliance of God lies in the guidance. People do not have this kind of conviction from birth. Why should you be angry? When you see regret, you should also see hope. "Another voice shouted:" Joseph, you are a kind and ignorant child! Alo is the **** of cold-sucking people, and the cold-sinking people are the people who made a covenant with God. How could this stranger old man understand? " Shaking his head in the direction of the voice: "This businessman who is walking in the desert, you are looking for your wealth, it is given by the gods and earned by labor. This is the same for the world. Is it yours? In the understanding of God, does the brilliance of the gods only shining the cooler? Then I ask you, if other people also believe in Arroyo, will the light shine on him and will God give him the same gifts as the cooler? Blessing and promise? "
