The world no longer believes in the **** Amon, forgetting all his glory and sacredness, and the statue of Amon lying on the sand dunes just silently symbolizes that the **** has re-entered the world. 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 kind of adjustment in the lonely journey, it is like listening to various things that have nothing to do with yourself. Anecdotes on earth.
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 copper 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 moisturize your throat. I Seeing that you have n’t even brought the water-filled skin sac, 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 skin sac with a slight smile, stood up from the stone and bowed gently: "Thank you, the gods have given you a good quality."
The young man bowed and said: "I should thank you for telling us such a long and wonderful legend at such a hot noon, like a cool wind in the desert."
The old man smiled and said: "I am 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 Salim, from the Salim Plain, and I believe in my **** Arahah."
The old man asked again: "Do you like to listen to the story of God Amon? He is a **** that the Egyptians once believed in."
The young man smiled: "Of course I like to listen. The stories you tell are wonderful. There are different gods and legends across the mainland, expressing people ’s beliefs or previous beliefs. In these legends, they also contain The understanding of God ’s surname and his own wishes. It can help people think and how to think about the belief in gods in their hearts? ”
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, the outline of the facial features vaguely reveals a strong temperament, when he smiles, it looks very good, and 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, covering the blazing sunlight, and a cool wind blowing in the distance. The desert seemed to become extraordinarily quiet. The voice of the old man was also very clear beside this temple ruin.
The old man just talked about the battle between the **** Amon and the gods of Olympus. Then he talked about Amun accepting the challenge of Artemis on the cloud and was shot into the world with a single arrow. The audience not far away made an "Oh" sound, as if suddenly realized that someone could not help but interjected: "No wonder this temple was abandoned, it turned out that Zeus defeated Amon, and the gods of Olympus annexed Amon ’s place on earth. "
Another person explained: "It was because of the rise of the Maro Empire that conquered Egü, and asked Egü to convert to the gods of Olympus. The story explains things in the world, or symbolizes the encounter of the gods with things in the world. "
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 raised his cane and pointed to the lying image of his side: "Yes, it seems that Zeus defeated him, or that the Maro Empire conquered Egü and ordered to change the people ’s beliefs. But Amon departed I said at the time that the faith he guided will accompany the temple in people ’s hearts throughout the so-called **** realm of Zeus, and then he will return to his kingdom of heaven. It is also said that Amon will guide people to establish a The new kingdom defeated Zeus completely. "
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 the young man and said, "Are you talking about the prophet Ilya ’s prophecy? I also heard from the merchants of Salem. But I do n’t know how it is in your hometown. 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 it has become a kind of expectation. The Messiah will come and lead people who truly believe in Arahah To reach 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 Salim believes that someone will come. He is not only a prophet like Ilya, but also a savior appointed by the gods. He will lead the Salim Get rid of the fate of being ruled and build an ideal kingdom. Just like our ancestor of Moses, Moses, led the tribes to get rid of the slavery of the Egites and establish the city of Salim on the Duque Plain.
Salem was not founded by Moses, but by Link and Aesop. But later, David ordered the demolition of the Amon Temple and the construction of the Temple of Ahrah, and the history that the young people heard became like this. Because there were others beside him, the young man was very careful in his wording and did not directly say that the Salim wanted to overthrow the Marlow Empire, or even conquer and replace Marlow Empire to rule the Tianshu continent.
In fact, it does n’t matter much to say those words here. This is a caravan of Salens, and they are also hired by 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 Salens believed in Arahah as the only god, just as the Iju people once believed in Amun as their god, and the Maro people believed in the gods of Olympus. I want to ask you-what is the meaning of the so-called only 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 possibly just an arrogant superiority? Should sense, self-suggestion have a status that surpasses others? "
The young man stunned slightly, as if thinking, and did not immediately answer. Then the caravan shouted angrily: "Jesus, you don't want to listen to that old man's nonsense anymore, that's Satan's voice! The only God is the only God, God had agreed with Moses-'Except me Besides, you can't have other gods. 'Don't let Satan's voice 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 under the rule of the Maro Empire. This old gentleman has not received the glorious shining of Arahah, he raised this question. It's perfectly normal. But the brilliance of God lies in the guidance. People don't have such beliefs by birth. Why should you be angry? While regretting, you should also see hope, which shows that the brilliance of God can shine more souls. "
Another voice shouted: "Joseph, you are a kind and ignorant child! Arahao is the God of the Salmons, and the Salon is the nation that 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 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 that in your understanding, the brilliance of the gods only illuminates the Salim? Then I ask you, if other people also believe in Arahah, will the divine light shine on him, and will God give him and Salim People-like blessings and promises? "
