Pivot of the Sky

The next day, Amon came back to the theater, and in the same position, he saw Vincent again. They just nodded and laughed and went on to watch the show. Today is another playwright's work, each play is shorter, so even two performances.

The first play, called Aeon, still tells the story of Apollo, and playwrights in the state of Aaron seem particularly fond of digging this god. As the play opens and the actor enters, the more Amon looks, the more he frowns.

The Apollo on stage, who is like a god, is like a despicable privilege, not only despicable, but treacherous and morally corrupt. Apollo came to the world and shamelessly seduced a lovely girl, who had given birth to a son named Ion. Abandoning only the joyful Apollo mess, abandoning the girl and returning to heaven to be his god.

The girl, unable to dispose of the child after giving birth, placed him in a box and sent him to a cave where she had a meeting with Apollo. The god should be able to see his son. Apollo of course saw it, so Hermes, the messenger of the gods, did a favor, took the box and put it in front of the temple of Apollo, where the priest took the child.

The child grew up in his father's temple, playing all day under Apollo's altar without knowing who his parents were. Because of his unique origins, everyone saw him as a sacrifice to the gods, born to guard them in the temple.

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

The orgasm of the play took place when the mother and son met in the temple. The woman recognized her son and told the young man the story of another woman in a distant land, but did not tell Ion that unfortunate woman was herself.

Ion said sadly in front of the altar: "My noble lady, how similar your friend's fate is to mine, she is searching for her own son, I am searching for her own mother. But don't expect the gods in the altar to give you a satisfactory answer, because you are complaining about the gods in the name of your friends, and the gods can't be wrong! ”

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

This is the case with the mythological legend of Ion, but the play on the stage reveals the details of the mythology in an unclear way. The detail is the devil, who translates a legendary folk story into a revelation of the evil deeds of the gods. Apollo is not only hypocritical, but constantly abandoned with despicable jealousy.

At the end of the play, there was a huge narrative of chanting - “If God's behavior is despicable, he is no longer God! The Spirit cannot set the norm for mankind, and he himself violates it! People imitate the evil deeds of gods, and gods call them evil! ”

Vincent suddenly laughed and said in his soul: "Amon God, no one will ever make you like this. ”

Amon also laughed: "There are some things in the play that are right, and if God's actions are despicable, he is no longer God, and God cannot violate the covenant he has made. ”

Vincent said, "As you said yesterday, when the gods are no longer beyond things, the so-called gods are also human beings. But the play is clearly laying out the evil of the gods, and using it as a basis to criticize the evil of the gods. Although it is only the Apollo in the play, it does not try to point the spear at the Apollo in the temple. The evil of man is the evil of man, no matter who he imitates or who the evaluator is. ”

They whispered here, and Medanzo and Iso whispered there. Between the two plays, the whole theater was full of talk, and Medanzo muttered: “Is this playwright sure he's writing Apollo? Instead of the adults who have offended him? What do I think of it as the story of a high priest, just putting a god's hat on him and writing it in the play? ”

Isaac laughed: “There are many things like this in the world. Writing the protagonist as a god will make more people willing to see. If it's cats and dogs on stage, why is it so exciting down there? ”

Medanzo: “Gods are such bad luck. ”

The Iso still laughed: "Who calls them gods? ”

Medanzo added: "I find that people love watching such plays, and writing them also makes it easier for playwrights to get higher reviews. You see these people in the theater, they're angry when they watch the theater, but a lot of people are unnamed and content. ”

Iso sighed: "Look at the scandals Apollo has done. Where is he still like a god? He is a morally corrupt, impotent man. People are happy to see that their own evil habits and unspeakable desires also have spirits, so they get a sense of contentment alongside the spirits, who, like them, possess those shadowy and despicable human beings. ”

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

Iso sighed again: "If the god really does, you really don't have to think of him as a god. Amon God is watching the show too, let's keep watching. ”

Medanzo curiously asked, "How would Apollo feel if he saw the show? ”

Iso laughed again: "How do I know? You should ask Apollo. If he did it, he deserved to be scolded. If he didn't do it, it doesn't matter if you don't see the show, it's just that the cat and dog in the world changed his name. Imagine what people would do in the world and what the gods would do. ”

After a brief break, there was another play on the stage. By the time the show reached its climax, Medanzo couldn't help but look at the position of Amon God and wonder how this god would react? The play was still orchestrating the evil deeds of the gods, and now the play simply denies the existence of the gods.

A hero rode a winged flying horse into the sky to see if the gods existed? He found no trace of a god, but looked out over the sky at the pervasiveness of sins, the power trampling justice, and the hero sang aloud ——

“O men of kindness,

Please listen to me.

It is said that there are gods in the heavens,

But no, really no!

As long as you have a little wisdom,

Ancient legends will not be believed.

There are countless tyrants in the world.

They take away the good.

Those who worship the gods,

What a coward inside!

Please tell me where the Spirit is.

When I fly up into the sky and cannot see them,

What about light, warmth, and expectations?

I will declare the world.

There is no god in heaven, there is no god! ”

A lot of the audience underneath the stage showed a horrific look when they got here. Iso turned around and said to Medanzo: "I don't know if there is one in the sky, but today there is one sitting in the theater. ”

Medanzo's eyebrows are locked: “If a playwright really sees this world, then there is no god in the world he sees, and the god sits down and watches the play he writes. ”

Iso sighed: "The hero who flew to the clouds can declare that there is no god in heaven, but is he also looking at his heart as he shouts? Where is the light, kindness, warmth, hope that he calls? ”

In the most crowded part of the theater, Vincent seemed to be deliberately intrigued and asked, "Amon, how do you feel? ”

Amon did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Vincent, I'd like to ask you, how would you feel if you swapped Apollo's name for infinite light? ”

Vincent replied with a smile: "You have asked the wrong man. The Buddha says that the Great Aware is not a god, nor has he ever taken a god for himself. Unlimited light is just a title. It illuminates ten parties with its own luminosity. It has its own fullness, endlessness, indestructibility, and ability to live and live. It doesn't matter how to lay it down, no amount of light can shine in ten directions, no amount of light can be seen. ”

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

Vincent replied, "As I saw you in Aaron City, you will become a human being. ”

Amon: “I am not immeasurable. ”

Vincent: “You're a drama driver. ”

Amon smiled: "So that's how it is! What about the Buddha? ”

Vincent replied: "The way I smell is as good as my Buddha. Do all kinds of good deeds and watch your sexuality. ”

Amon nodded slightly: "Do you have three bodies of immeasurable light? ”

Vincent nodded as well: "Legal identity, incarnation, reporting, trinity. ”

Amon stopped talking and went into a state of spiritual meditation. He really became a watcher, staring at the people in the theater, and the play in his eyes was not just on stage. Everyone watches theatre on the stage, and they also become performers of this theatre in the world, watched by the gods.

Amon has sought to prove the world today, and he does not know what the name of the world should be, except that the angels call him the only God. So on top of this achievement, is there a higher boundary, and if so, how should it be proven? Amon had not thought about it, and had no time to think about it, because he had not yet achieved the full range of achievements in his current situation.

But listening to Vincent speak of immeasurable light today gives Amon a vision - indeed, there is a higher realm, and he is not guided by immeasurable light, but he can prove it in another way. As for the way forward, Ammon is still searching.

And that's when Amon suddenly discovered that another god was watching in the theater. If Amon wasn't watching people in this state, he probably wouldn't have found out either. Because for three days, this man had been watching the theater, and Amon had not paid special attention to him, let alone recognized him, and suddenly found out who he was.

It was a middle-aged man with big eyebrows and a healthy body, sitting in the best position in the theater, not far from Iso, wearing a white robe and wine and melon fruit on the table in front of him. His appearance, which Amon had never seen, had a subtle sensation that awakened the mark of an acquaintance in his soul.

After the death of King Leonid of Kibada, Zeus changed his identity and was sitting in the theatre of Aaron City at this moment.

The theatre on the stage made Apollo look like that, and Zeus wouldn't have any light on his face. And in the mythology of the world, Zeus has done a lot worse than Apollo in today's play. He is the number one pornographer in the heavens and the earth, and he is the most horny thief in the world. Apollo's bullshit in the play Aeon is nothing compared to Zeus' “story”.

Then the second scene, also from the hand of the same playwright, the hero of the play simply rushed to the cloud to curse the god, and then declared to the world that the god did not exist. And Zeus was not angry at all. He was always laughing and eating while drinking. He looked at the smell. He was a little heartless.

Throughout the theater, Iso, Medanzo, Vincent, Ammon all had smiles, but when the second play reached its climax, Zeus was the only one laughing, and the expression was like, “If you said there were no gods, why did you have to call them gods? Can people be relieved by giving all the evils of humanity to the gods? ”

Amon watched silently and read what Zeus meant in his smile, and Zeus became part of the play in front of him. Just wondering if Zeus saw Amon? In Zeus' eyes, did Amon also appear in human drama?

……

The day after Amon entered Aaron City, he wandered around Temple Square and watched another three days of theatre, for a total of five days. By the early morning of the sixth day, he said to Iso, "It's time to look at it. It's time for us to get out of here and take you back to your hometown of Miduli. ”

Medanzo asked somewhat puzzled, "Why not stay two more days? I haven't seen enough! ”

Amon replied, "If you want to see the play, there's plenty of time to watch it, but I found Zeus in the theater yesterday. He's been sitting next to you both for the last three days. I went into the Olympus without permission, or it's better not to cut off extraneous branches. ”

Medanzo was surprised: "Really, how could I not have noticed? ”

"Zeus was no better than me," explained Amon. "I only found him yesterday when the play was about to end. You haven't noticed him for three days. You haven't noticed that he's normal. ”

Medanzo: "My God, has Zeus found you? ”

Amon: “I don't know, but it's not that he doesn't know me, I'm who I am. ”

After breakfast the day ended the room price, Amon drove Iso and Medanzo followed him on horseback, and the three "master servants" left Aaron City for Miduli City State.

Today, the state of Miduli is also a member of the Aaron League, whose cities are mostly located in coastal mountainous areas, passing many dangerous places along the way. Large groups of people don't have to worry about themselves, but small stocks of pedestrians also need to guard against strong people. After all, there have just been wars here, and some fighters have occasionally worked part-time to make some princess deals after being idle.

After a mountain hazard, nobody was around, and Medanzo suddenly heard several people talking in the dense forest. “One of them said," That Iso made a fortune out there. He must have brought a lot of money with him. Nobody here knows him, nobody cares about his whereabouts. Kill the sword, throw the body under the cliff, and the money is all ours. ”

The other person, like the leader, said in a very unhappy tone: "You called us here and said there was a big deal, but you didn't understand the situation! The old man named Iso is nothing, but his driver and escort are hard to deal with! ”

"What are you afraid of?" he said. There are only two of them, not even weapons, and we have eight of them here. ”

The leader said, "I'm afraid it's not enough for the eight of us against the two of us! Didn't you notice? The wagon is walking on a hillside road, as steady as it is on a flat ground. The people in the wagon don't feel upset at all. Will the average rider be able to do this? ”

Another person said, "If you look at the escort again, his riding technique is at will. His distance and position from the carriage remains the same. Flying lightly is like walking. Do ordinary bodyguards have these skills? ”

The first speaker was surprised: "Are there two great warriors? That Isol is rich enough to have a warrior chase his wagon for him! ”

And the leader said, "How could a great samurai chase a carriage? You can't even hire someone with money. It's a matter of identity! I think the driver is a very good middle-class warrior, but the guard may be a great warrior. We'll never make this deal, so break your mind before it's too late. ”

Someone next to him suddenly said: “I heard that Naiso came from Salem City. This road is still a long way from war. If the escort is not capable of being robbed long ago, can he wait for us? ”

This was a gang of bandits, whose messengers had caught Iso in the city, ambushed outside the city in an attempt to kill him financially, but unfortunately did not dare to do so and could only watch the carriage pass through the forest. Bandits also have their own way of surviving. If they lose their lives and don't understand the situation, they jump out and become little thieves who die quickly.

The carriage had gone far, and suddenly someone shouted in the forest: "Fire! How could there be a fire?... pants, oops, my pants! ”

Someone shouted, “You're burning me--!” Throw the weapon out of your hand in panic, then reach out and undress. ”

At this moment, all of a sudden, the weapons in their hands were red, as if they had been burned in a furnace fire, and their pants had unwittingly caught fire. The bandits burned their hands, burned their bodies, threw down their weapons, took off their clothes with fire, and rushed out of the dense forest naked, all frightened to think that they had been punished by the gods.

Iso's carriage had long gone, and Medanzo followed him on horseback. It was obvious that he had done what had just happened. “What's so funny?" asked Iso, unclear. ”

Medanzo replied, "It's a beautiful day, it's cool! ”

Of course Amon, who was driving, heard the conversation about the bandits in the forest, and knew what Medanzo had done, but he ignored it, thinking only about one question - who was Zeus who met in the theater yesterday?
