287, The Trinity News

The next day, Amon came to the theater again. At the same location, he saw Vincent again. The two of them just nodded and smiled, and then continued to watch the play. Today, the work of another play was performed by another playwright, and the plays were relatively short, so they performed two plays in a row.

The first play is called "Ion", which still tells the story of Apollo. The playwrights in the Yaren City-state seem to love to mock the god. As the screenplay opened and the actors came on stage, Amon frowned more and more the more he watched it.

The Apollo on the stage is not like a god, just like a debauchery and shameless powerful man on earth. He not only acts despicable but also betrayal and morally corrupt. Apollo came to the world and shamelessly seduced a lovely girl. The girl gave birth to a son named Ion. Apollo, who only cared about pleasure, abandoned the girl and returned to heaven to be his god.

After the girl gave birth to the child, she could not deal with it, so she put him in a box and sent it to the cave where she had tried with Apollo. The gods should be able to see their son. Of course Apollo saw it, so she asked Hermes, the messenger of the gods, to do a favor, take the box away, and put it in front of the door of the Apollo Temple. The priest took the child in.

This child grew up in his father's temple, playing under the altar of Apollo all day long, but he didn't know who his parents were. Because of his unique origin, everyone regarded him as a sacrifice given to the gods on earth, and was born to guard the gods in the temple.

The girl later married a foreigner. She thought Apollo had long forgotten her, but this incident aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of the gods. Apollo punished her for not having children. The poor woman didn't know why, so she went to the temple of Apollo to pray to the gods.

The climax of this play takes place in the scene of mother and son meeting in the temple. The woman recognizes her son and tells the young man the story of another woman in the distant country, but does not tell Ion that unfortunate woman is herself.

Ion said sadly in front of the altar: "Neither Madam, how similar the fate of your friend is to me. She is looking for her own son, and I am looking for her own mother. But don't expect the gods on the altar to give you a satisfactory answer, because you are accusing the gods in the name of your friends, and the gods will not admit their mistakes!"

The woman in the play did not tell Ion in front of her that she was his mother, nor did she pray to the gods anymore, and turned around and left the temple.

The general content of the myths and legends about Ion is like this. However, this play on the stage interprets the vague myths into various detailed details. The details are the devil, which interprets a legendary folk story into revealing the evil deeds of the gods. Apollo is not only hypocritical and lustful, but also abandons the situation and has a despicable and shameless jealousy.

At the end of the play, there is a long chanting narration - "If God's behavior is despicable, he is no longer God! The body of God cannot set rules for the world, and he himself violates it! People imitate the evil deeds of the gods, and the gods also call it evil!"

Vincent Bu suddenly laughed and said in his soul: "God Amon, maybe no one will arrange you like this in the future."

Amon also laughed: "Some things in the play are right. If God's behavior is despicable, he will no longer be God, and God cannot violate the promises he has made."

Vincentbu said again: "As you said yesterday, when the gods are no longer transcendent to things, the so-called gods are also humans. But this play obviously arranges the evil of the gods and uses this as a basis to criticize the evil of the gods. Although it is only the Apollo in the play, it may also point the finger at the Apollo in the temple. And the evil of man is the evil deeds of man, no matter who imitates, it will not change because of who the evaluator is."

They muttered secretly here, and Medanzo and Aesop were also talking quietly there. In the interval between the two plays, the whole theater was there, and Medanzo muttered: "Is this dramatist sure that is writing Apollo? Not who has offended him? No matter how I think it is like a story of a folk high priest, putting him on a god's hat and writing it into the play."

Aesop laughed and said, "There are many things like this in the world. Only when the protagonist is written as a god will more people be willing to watch it. If it were a cat and a dog on stage, how could it be so sensational in the audience?"

Medanzo: "The gods are so unlucky."

The Aesop was still laughing: "Who told them to be gods?"

Medanzo said again: "I find that people love watching such dramas, and writing such dramas also makes it easier for dramatists to get higher evaluations. You see these people in the theater and are excited when watching the dramas, but many people are inexplicably satisfied."

Aesop sighed, "Looking at the ugly things Apollo did, they were not like gods, but morally corrupt people. But people were happy to see that they also had their own bad habits and unspeakable desires, so they got a sense of satisfaction that was side by side with the gods, who had the dark and despicable human nature just like them."

This time it was Medanzo's turn to laugh: "If they think so, they will never become gods, and there will be no gods in this world."

Aesop sighed again: "If the god really does this, you really don't have to treat him as a god. God Amon is also watching the show, so let's continue watching."

Medanzo asked curiously again: "How would Apollo feel if he watched this drama?"

Aesop smiled again: "How do I know? You should ask Apollo. If this is really what he did, he deserves to be scolded. If it wasn't for him, it doesn't matter whether he watches this drama. It's just that the cat and dog on earth have been replaced by his name. What kind of things will people do in the earth, imagine that the gods will do this."

After a brief rest, another drama was performed on the stage. When the performance reached its climax, Medanzo couldn't help but look at the location of God Amon, wanting to see what the god would react? The drama just now was still choreographing the god's evil deeds, but now this drama simply denies the existence of the god.

A hero rode a winged pegasus into the sky, trying to see if the gods existed? He did not find the traces of the gods, but looked down from the sky and all kinds of sins were flooding the world, and power was trampling on the axioms. The hero sang loudly—

“Good people,

Please listen to me.

It is said that there are gods in the sky.

But no, really not!

As long as you have a little wisdom,

I won't believe the ancient legend.

There are countless tyrants on earth,

They deprive goodness.

Those who worship the gods,

How cowardly I am in my heart!

Please tell me where the gods are?

When I flew into the sky but couldn't see them,

Light, warmth, what is the expectation?

I want to declare the world,

There are no gods in heaven, really not!"

At this point when the play was performed, many audience members in the audience showed horror. Aesop turned his head and said to Medanzo, "I don't know if there is any in the sky, but there was one sitting in the theater today."

Medanzo frowned: "If the playwright really looks at this world, then there are indeed no gods in the world he sees, and the gods are sitting in the audience watching the plays he wrote."

Aesop sighed, "The hero who flew to the clouds can declare that there are no gods in the sky, but is he also examining his heart while shouting, the light, kindness, warmth, and hope that he calls for?"

In the most crowded place in the theater, Vincent Bu asked deliberately: "God Amon, how do you feel?"

Amon did not answer directly, but asked back, "Vincent, I want to ask you, if the first drama just now was replaced by Apollo's name with Infinite Light, what would you think?"

Vincent Bu replied with a smile: "You asked the wrong person. The Buddha said that the great enlightened person is not a god, and he has never regarded himself as a god. The infinite light is just a title. The light of the nature is bright and illuminated in the ten directions, and it is inherently complete, without beginning or end, and it is neither born nor destroyed. The Tathagata can produce all dharmas as if it were gone. It doesn't matter how to arrange it. Since the infinite light shines brightly in the ten directions, the infinite light cannot be seen."

Amon blinked: "Oh? What about the one I saw in the Syrian desert?"

Vincentbe replied, "As the fate is like you whom I saw in Yalun."

Amon: "I am not infinite light."

Vincent: "You are a car driver who watches the show."

Amon smiled: "So that's it! What about the Buddha you mentioned?"

Vincent Bu replied: "To realize the wisdom and mind, you will be rewarded. Listening to the Dharma is like seeing my Buddha. Do all good deeds, observe your own nature and seek perfection."

Amon nodded slightly and said, "There are three bodies of Wuliang Light?"

Vincent Bu also nodded and said, "Dharma body, incarnation, reward body, and three bodies in one."

Amon no longer spoke and entered a state of ethereal meditation. He really became a playwright, watching the audience silently, watching the audience in his eyes. The play in his eyes was not only on the stage. Everyone was watching the play on the stage, but they also became performers of this drama on earth, watched by the gods.

Amon had proved the current realm, and he didn't know what the realm should be called, but he only knew that the angels called him the only god. So, is there a higher realm above this achievement, and if so, how should he prove it? Amon had never thought about it and had no time to imagine it, because he had not yet reached the state of accomplishment in the current realm.

But today I heard Vincentbu mention the infinite light, which gave Amon a kind of insight - there is indeed a higher realm. He did not accept the guidance of the infinite light, but he could use another way to verify. As for the way to verify, Amon is still exploring.

At this moment, Amon suddenly discovered another god who was also watching the show in this theater. If Amon had not watched the crowd in this state, he might not have noticed anything. Because for the past three days, this person had been watching the show in this theater, but Amon did not pay special attention to him, nor did he recognize him, and he suddenly discovered who he was.

It was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting not far from Aesop, in the best position in the theater, wearing a white robe, and there were fine wine and fruits on the small table in front of the seat. Amon had never seen his appearance, but there was a mysterious sense that awakened the familiar mark in his soul.

After the death of Leoni, King Kibada, Zeus changed his identity and came to the world, and was sitting in the theater in Yalun City.

The plays on the stage arrange Apollo into that way, and Zeus will not have any light on his face. In the myths circulating on earth, Zeus does many things that are worse than Apollo in today's play. He is the number one lustful person in heaven and earth, and is simply the largest lewd thief on earth. Compared with Zeus's "deeds", Apollo's destruction in the drama "Ion" is nothing.

The second play that followed was also written by the same playwright. The hero in the play simply rushed to the clouds to curse the gods, and then announced to the world that the gods did not exist. However, when Zeus looked at him, he was not angry at all. He always smiled and drank while eating. The view was very interesting and was a little heartless.

In the entire theater, Aesop, Medanzo, Vincentebu and Amon all smiled, but when the second play reached its climax, Zeus was the only one laughing, and his expression seemed to say: "Since you say there are no gods, why do you have to scold gods? If you give all the bad habits in human nature to gods, can people be liberated?"

Amon observed silently without thinking, and read the meaning of Zeus's smile, and Zeus also became part of the play in front of him. I just wonder if Zeus saw Amon? In Zeus's eyes, did Amon also appear in the human drama?

...

The next day after Amon entered Yalun City, he went to the Temple Square to wander around. He watched the play for three more days and stayed for a total of five days. On the morning of the sixth day, he said to Aesop: "It's time to watch it, and we've watched it all. We should leave here and send you back to our hometown Midulli."

Medanzo asked in confusion: "Why don't you stay for two more days? I haven't watched enough of the show!"

Amon replied, "If you want to watch the show, there is time to watch it, but I found Zeus in the theater yesterday. He was sitting next to you both, and he has been there for the past three days. I entered the Olympus realm without permission, so it would be better not to have any trouble."

Medanzo was surprised: "Is that so, why didn't I find it?"

Amon explained: "Zeus' achievements are no less than mine. I only found him when the show was about to end yesterday. I haven't noticed it these three days, and it's normal for you to not find him."

Medanzo: "My God, then did Zeus discover you?"

Amon: "I don't know this either, but he doesn't know me, I am the true face."

After breakfast that day, Amon drove Aesop and Medanzo followed him on a horse. The "master and servant" left Yalun City and rushed towards the Miduli City.

Today, the Midulli City State has also joined the Yalun League. Most of the city states in the Yalun League are distributed in coastal mountainous areas, and they will pass many dangerous places along the way. There is no need to worry about the large group of people, but small groups of pedestrians also need to beware of strong people appearing. After all, there have just experienced war here, and some soldiers occasionally work part-time after they are idle.

When passing a dangerous road in the mountains, no one was around. Medanzo suddenly heard several people talking in the dense forest. One person said, "The Aesop came back from making a fortune outside, and must have brought a lot of money. No one here knows him, and no one cares about his whereabouts. He slaughtered the body and threw it under the cliff, and the money was all ours."

The other man seemed to be the leader, but he said in an unhappy tone: "You asked us to come, and it was said that there was a big deal, but I didn't understand the situation! The old man named Aesop was nothing, but his groom and guard were difficult to deal with!"

The man said before, "What are you afraid of? They are only two of them, and they don't even bring weapons, and there are eight of us here."

The leader said angrily: "We eight people are probably not enough to deal with two of them! Didn't you notice it? The carriage was walking on the mountain road as steadily as on the flat ground. The people in the car would not feel confused at all. An ordinary coachman would have such skills?"

Another person said, "Look at the guard again, his riding skills are as good as he wants. The distance and position between him and the carriage is always the same. It is light and fluttering like a walk. Can an ordinary bodyguard have such skills?"

The man who spoke at first said in surprise: "Are they two great warriors? That Aesop is so rich that he can let the great warrior drive the carriage for him!"

The leader said again: "How can a great warrior drive a carriage? He can't hire money, that's a matter of identity! I think the coachman is a very powerful mid-level warrior, but the guard may be a great warrior. We will definitely not be able to do this deal, so we should stop thinking as soon as possible."

Someone next to him suddenly said, "I heard that Aesop came from Salem City, and passed many war-torn places all the way. If the guards were not capable of being robbed, could they still wait for us?"

This is a group of robbers. The informant targeted Aesop in the city. They were ambushing outside the city to try to kill money. However, they came excitedly but were very sorry to dare not take action. They could only watch the carriage passing through the dense forest. The robbers also had the way of survival of robbers. They jumped out without figuring out the situation and would only become small thieves who died quickly.

The carriage had already walked away, and someone suddenly exclaimed in the dense forest: "Fire! Why does it catch fire?...Pants, oh, my pants!"

Another *** shouted: "It's burning me to death-!" He hurriedly threw out the weapon in his hand, and then hurriedly reached out to take off his clothes."

It turned out that at this moment, the weapons in their hands suddenly turned red, as if they were burned in the fire, and their pants were all on fire for no reason. The robber burned his hands and body, threw away his weapons and took off his clothes with fire, and rushed out of the dense forest naked, all of whom were inexplicably frightened and thought he had been punished by the gods.

Aesop's carriage had already gone far away, and Medanzo followed the carriage and laughed loudly. He obviously did what he had done just now. Aesop, who was unknown, asked, "What's so funny?"

Medanzo replied: "The weather is so cool!"

Of course, Amon, who was driving the car, also heard the conversation of the gang of robbers in the dense forest, and knew what Medanzo had done, but he ignored it and just thought about one question silently - who was Zeus he met in the theater yesterday?
