186, The Face of the God
People didn't know how to answer for a moment, and a child shouted in the voice of "We have the only God, who has accepted His guidance, please do not shake our faith." The speaker was David Solomon.
Barkri's voice sneered, "What has that god given you again? Is it food, hope, or protection? In this case, why have you been through this long night in the midst of hunger and cold? I can give you what he can give you, and I can give you what he cannot give. As long as you regard me as a god, make a vow to sacrifice to me."
David replied, "We don't need you, please leave."
However, at this time another *** shouted: "Barkri, why do you say such things? Please prove yourself!"
Barkri's voice replied, "Then I will prove to you and wait for your reply. Everyone is hungry, right? After dawn, the dewdrops on the grass leaves will turn into delicious food. This is the miracle I have given you."
The next morning, when they walked out of the hut, they were surprised to find that the dewdrops between the grass leaves fell on the ground, turning into many small balls like white frost. Someone picked them up and put them in their mouths to taste them, and the taste was like delicious snacks. What is this? Everyone was talking about it, and no one had seen this thing, but it was indeed edible and delicious.
The dewdrops turned into not much or too much, just enough for everyone in the camp to eat that day. It is rare for people to not work and get delicious food without hunting, just like a life-saving straw in drowning. People didn't sleep well that night, waiting for the voice of the god to appear?
Late at night, Barkri's voice sounded again: "Miners in Duke Town, I give you food and hope. When the sun rises tomorrow, the dewdrops on the grass leaves will still turn into food. I will give you another cow made of gold, which is a totem that symbolizes me. Carry this Taurus through the city of Marduke. When you arrive in your hometown, put it on the altar to build a temple for me. Tonight, light a fire and dance around the Taurus and worship it toward the Taurus. I can hear your prayers!"
On the third day, Moses still did not come back, and the twelve judges were still missing. Some people were discussing that Moses and the twelve judges had received the power given by Arhat, and had they left themselves? But they left other tribesmen here.
The dewdrops dripped from the grass leaves still turned into small desserts like white frost balls, which tasted delicious. In the middle of the open space between the huts, a glittering little taurus appeared, and two strong miners could lift it up. Just so much gold is also a valuable asset, not to mention that it is a miracle that symbolizes the idol of the gods and the miracle displayed by Barkri!
Joshua, David and others dissuaded everyone to reject temptation, but more people were moved. Since the food and blessings that Aroho could give to Baccary, why not worship this god? What's more, Aroho no longer helped them pass through the city of Marduk, and everything needed to be solved by the tribesmen themselves, so this was one of the solutions. People gathered together to discuss that if Moses and the Twelve Judges did not come back, everyone would follow Baccary's guidance.
That night, people who had had a full snack and had a rest for a day came to the open space of the wheat field. Someone lit the fire and started dancing around the Taurus, and some people knelt in a circle to pray to the Taurus. If they had been to the cave savage tribe of Link a few years ago and had seen the cave savage dancing in front of the large cave where the fire was lit, they would find that this scene was very similar to the spontaneous primitive tribe religious rituals.
If Amon were here, he would have discovered that this was also a ritual that inspired the coming of the gods, allowing the Barkri to incarnate himself on the Taurus. However, this ritual was not completed because Moses rushed back and woke up the tribe members with a sudden shout, interrupting what everyone was doing.
After Joshua finished talking about the incident, Moses walked up angrily, waved his cane and beat the taurus into pieces, shouting at everyone: "Did you forget your faith? Have you forgotten the only God? Forgot who guided us through so many difficulties? This is betrayal and a shame!"
Some people lowered their heads in shame, while others whispered: "Bakrie gave us food to save us from hunger. We should be grateful to all those who have helped us in trouble."
Moses shouted, "If you say so, what did Arhaha give you? The gods do not ask for your gratitude, but only let you see the belief in your heart! You have just eaten for two days and forgot everything? Get food without working. Is this the guidance you are looking forward to? Can we and our descendants pick up dewdrops on the grass forever?
We have not given up hope in the face of so many hardships. Do we change our beliefs just because of the food for a few days and the temptation of a Taurus? Shouldn’t we be ashamed of this? The evil god Barkri gave you food, but don’t forget that Aroho also showed such a miracle, giving you more and more. Do you understand what the only god means?
The prey in the mountains disappeared for no reason. I just noticed and sensed it. Someone nearby casts spells to drive away the breath left by living creatures. The so-called evil god who gave you food is the one who took away your food, but you danced and worshiped him and turned against your persistence! How can you get real glorious guidance in doing this?"
Seeing Moses coming back, many people felt ashamed and regretful. When they came to their senses, they felt a little dazed and confused in the past two days. When Moses told the tribe that someone nearby casts spells to drive away the breath of creatures, everyone suddenly realized that the Barkri was deliberately hungry and then showing miracles. Fortunately, Moses rushed back in time.
Another man muttered in a low voice: "But Barkri said that you can pass through the city of Marduk with the Taurus. Now that you have broken the Taurus, is there any other way?"
Moses was still angry and said, "I accept God's guidance to tell everyone how to return to their hometown and protect our faith! God never asked us to do anything, but today it is time to make a promise, and I brought back the ten promises between God and his tribe. This is God's promise and God's help. So I melted the fragments of this taurus into a golden plate and engraved the promise with God on the golden plate. The God gave me a tent, and we used it to place the golden plate engraved with the promise."
Moses waved his iron branch staff, and a luxurious tent appeared in the middle of the open space, which was the golden tent used by the Lion King to entertain Amon, and Amon also used it to entertain Gerry, Celia and others. He used his magic to melt the fragments of the Taurus into a golden plate. On the golden plate, there were ten agreements between Arrohe and his tribe members on Mount Sinai, and Joshua read them in public.
The awakened tribe members crawled to the golden plate in the tent, expressing their gratitude to Aroha, and at the same time repenting their actions just now.
...
Amon controlled the crystal shuttle and watched this scene with Medanzo, Link, and Gabriel on the clouds. Medanzo curled his lips and said, "God Amon, guess what did I remember? The children whom parents worked hard to raise almost called others parents because of a piece of candy!"
Gabriel interjected: "If this is the case, I'm afraid parents will have a responsibility, but such a child is indeed not liked. Your metaphor may not be appropriate."
Amon said lightly: "It's not appropriate. They don't understand what faith is, but they have experienced too many and too long sufferings. People are most likely to get lost in despair. Today I have made an agreement that it is their own choice to keep it or not. I only give my own promise. Moses is a good leader and guide."
Link said: "We have just cleared the traces of spell casting around us, and the scared prey has returned. This Barkri's technique is very clever, God Amon, have you heard of him?"
Amon frowned and said, "I have never heard of such a god. Have you ever heard of it?"
Medanzo slapped his forehead: "I vaguely heard it once. It was mentioned when Aesop told a story. There was a Poz Empire far east of Tianshu Continent. People there seemed to believe in a god named Bakri. But the Poz Empire was far beyond Assyria and Barron. It had hardly had anything to do with here for hundreds of years, and people knew very little."
Amon wondered: "How could the gods believed in by the distant empire appear here? Not far ahead is the city of Marduke, and he could actually promise to carry the totem that symbolizes him and pass through."
Gabriel suddenly said: "The miners of Duke Town who received the guidance of Aroha will go to the city-state of Salem, which believes in the God of Amon!"
This sentence made Amon suddenly realize and nodded repeatedly, "So that's it, there is really a possibility! Even if Barkri is not another incarnation of Marduk, the relationship between these two gods is definitely not simple."
What did Amon think of? He thought of himself! Is Aroho, who is believed in by the miners in Duke Town, the god Amon believed by the people of Salem? This question is not easy to answer, and there must be a difference between the two. But they are both different identities of Amon, and only Amon himself can clearly understand the relationship.
Marduk was also an amazing genius. He did not accept the guidance of the divine system back then. Just like Amon today, he explored the path of original power by himself, and went further than Amon today. Not only did he become a god who truly transcends eternal life, but after joining the Anunaqi divine system, he also became one of the two main gods.
Since Amon can be transformed into God Amon and Arroho, why can't Marduk, who has achieved far more than him, be transformed into God Marduk and Barkri at the same time? Judging from what happened today, there must be a special relationship between Marduk and Barkri, and it is likely that he is the different identities of the same god.
If this is the case, this great Malduk is very interesting. He gave the miners in Duke Town a special test and temptation, and only the gods can use such clever means. The miners in Duke Town, descendants of the sinners in the battle of the gods, and the indigenous people on the Duke Plain have now become the touchstones for various gods. The competition around them has exceeded the significance of this group of miners themselves and has another important symbol.
Medanzo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe the gods underestimated Malduk. He is probably not just the Lord God believed in by the Kingdom of Barron, but he did not succeed in the presence of God Amon. David is a good child, but unfortunately he is too young, and Moses, the leader of these people, still doesn't know what choice he will face."
Amon looked at Moses from afar and said, "He has conveyed my agreement to his tribe members. After he has completed his final mission, I will tell him everything. We must guard it tonight to see if that Barkri will appear again."
On the night when Moses broke the golden bull and cast it into a golden plate, Barkri's voice never appeared again, and the next day there was no dew on the grass and turned into snacks. People walked out of the house and looked at the fields by the stream. The wheat seedlings had grown to knee-high. David suddenly shouted: "Look, there is a rabbit over there! The prey driven away by the evil god is back!"
People gathered around Moses and asked, "God has made guidance and agreement. We can already pass through the city of Marduke. When will we set off?"
Moses pointed at Mai Di and said, "When the twelve judges come back and after the autumn harvest, we are ready to set off. Do you see the hope of sowing? Come with me to pray to God!"
The twelve judges have returned one after another, and the news they brought are of different quality. Looking at the Duke Plain from all the peaks, it is indeed a fertile field, with attractive figs, pomegranates, and wild grapes growing in the fields. It is very suitable for cultivation and farming, and will be a home with milk and honey flowing. However, there is no secret path that can be controlled by the city of Marduke. The city of Marduke has nearly 10,000 residents and nearly 1,000 warriors, among which there are many plateau giants who have been threatened.
When the twelve judges returned to the camp, everyone was frowning, but when they saw the golden tent and the agreed gold plates engraved in the tent, they smiled. When everyone gathered, Moses said, "I will climb Mount Sinai again and listen to the voice of God. You are ready to set off. It will be time to set off soon. I can tell God with relief that he did not leave any tribe members!"
Moses once again climbed Mount Sinai with an iron branch staff, crossed the stream, climbed the cliffs and walked for a whole day before reaching the top of the mountain. Looking around at the blue sky, the clouds were floating, and the sunset was extremely magnificent, but there was no figure of Arha. He knelt under the sunset at dusk and began to pray, and soon heard the voice of God-
"Moses, I am very pleased that as their leader, you have not abandoned any tribe. Can I ask you two questions? Please stare at your heart and answer."
Moses replied devoutly, “My God, please ask.”
Arroho: "You have made a vow to me - 'My God, the savior of hope! I call upon you and ask you to hear my voice. Don't let the fire of hope be extinguished again, and guide my people back to their homeland, even if they give all my body, mind and life, as long as they return to the land of Duke Town.' Is that true?"
Moses: "Yes, this is the oath I made to you on my way out of Ecuis."
Arrohe: "You have also said to the tribe members that the body is the courtyard where the soul lives, and its foothold is the home where the body and mind are. If the body and mind lose their support, do not know where the soul is, and do not know what you are pursuing, then it is truly homelessness. Is that true?"
Moses: "Yes, this is what my father once said to me, and I always keep it in mind."
Arrohe sighed, "Is this the belief you are protecting? Even if you pay the price of sacrifice for it?"
Moses nodded and said, “Yes!”
Arrohe: "If this is true, I can rest assured. I want to tell you one thing, let you make a sincere choice now. If you want your tribe members to return to your hometown safely and get rid of the identity of the sinners from then on, you will need to pay a price. Are you willing?"
Moses: "I would, what is the price?"
Arrohe slowly replied: "The price is yourself - the leader who leads the tribe! You cannot enter the Duke Plain, you can only look at the tribe and descendants living in that home. Don't ask me why, if you have to make such a choice, will you agree? I will not force you, just have a clear answer."
Moses knelt on the ground and straightened his body, spread his arms toward the sky and said, "My God! Why do you give me such a fate?"
Arhaha's voice could not tell whether it was joy or sorrow, and he asked slowly: "I have already said, don't ask why."
Moses covered his cheek with his hands: "If fate is so cruel and must make such a choice, I am willing to stay by myself, but I am not satisfied with the arrangement of this fate!"
Arrohe said, "I'm not satisfied either. Have you made a choice and won't you regret it?"
Moses: "I made a choice and would not repent. But my God, please tell me the reason!"
Arhaha: "Moses, you may now raise your head and see my face!"
Moses let go of his hands covering his cheeks, raised his eyes with tears, but stood there in shock and said, "You! Why are you?"
Amon finally showed up, stood in front of Moses and pointed at the iron branch staff at his hand and said, "You should be familiar with the stick I gave you. Have you never heard of what weapon General Amon used on the battlefield during the Eju Empire?"
Moses: "It's a branch, I should have thought of it!"
Amon smiled: "It doesn't matter if you think about it. Today you finally see my face clearly. Am I Ammon? Is there any difference in your belief?"
Moses looked at him, and after a long time, he seemed to suddenly wake up, kissed the dirt and said, "My God, there is no difference. I don't know how to thank you for everything you have done! Since you took down the whip that whipped me, you have been guiding me and my tribe and people. Only you know us so much and can do all this!"
Amon sat down and said, "Will you have any wishes or requirements when you see me?"
Moses: "You have given the tribes enough, I have nothing to ask for, I just want to know the answer."
