Pivot of the Sky

The annual celebration of the sacrifice to Arojo is approaching, the most magnificent festival of the Salem, with people everywhere flocking to the city of Salem to pray and thank the gods for their blessings. The sacrificial festival is also a folk carnival, and celebrations last seven days.

This celebration begins with a legend in history. Nearly four hundred years ago, when Moses led Salem's ancestors back home, the road was blocked by interracial evil spirits, unable to advance in the trapped mountains and without food. Arrocchio shows miracles, and the dew beads on the grass leaves drip down into white frost ball-like snacks and taste delicious. Pick up these desserts every day and let the people eat up.

Moses, who had experienced all of this in person, and the miners of the town of Turk, knew that it was a god who called himself Barclay who was tempting them, trying to convince a group of miners in the town of Turk to abandon their faith in the only god, Arocha. Moses appropriately walked down Mount Sinai with the ten commandments he had promised Arojo, crushing Bakri's plot. (Note: See Chapter 186 of this book, The Face of the Spirit.

But to this day, history has changed its face. Joshua, Moses' assistant and friend of Iso, gathered information about the miracles of Aroho, the history of the people, the praise of the gods, etc. circulated among the Aroho in his later years, and also prepared a Bible of the Saroho, forming a later classic in the Temple of Aroho. The dim sum of the dewy pearls that dripped on the grass leaves was the food that Arrocchio presented to the people by miracles - that's how the scriptures in the temple were recorded.

Moreover, when the Turk Township miners left Eju, the Nine Unions god, the Czechoslovakian god, sent a series of obstructions, and Moses and others suffered. And in today's temple records, things are completely reversed, and the series of "miracles” that prevent Moses and others from moving forward have become Arojo's means of punishing the Egyptians and blocking Egyptians from pursuing their soldiers.

People's oral passages form memories of history, as if only such legends can make their gods look perfect. But there is obviously another question about historical adaptation, and if their god Arrocchio is so all-powerful, why did Moses and others suffer so much? The Temple priests interpreted it as -- it was God testing the world. In fact, Amon himself had not survived eternity, otherwise it would not have been so difficult to bring Moses and others back to the Plains of Turk.

Almost four hundred years later, every year, at the legendary hour, people everywhere would pour out to the Temple of Arojo, thanking them for their blessings and praying for more blessings from the gods. This celebration is also a folk festival, when the city of Salem will be filled with mountains and seas, and Joseph chose to go at that time.

“Our mentor, your decision was wise," Peter said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ”

And Joseph shook his head: "When there are most people to choose from, it is not for people to protect me, but for more people to hear the gospel of Arojo and to witness my presence. ”

Within a few days of the celebration, Joseph led the disciples across the river back to the village of Maria, in the countryside of Bertani, where they had been stationed for some time, very close to the city of Salem and easy to get back and forth. After crossing the river this time, they took a more northerly road, located in remote wild hills.

In a valley, they met a horrible group of people. When they see someone passing by, they shrink from appearing in a shack made of branches. Joseph stopped and asked the disciples who they were, and when they heard it was the son, Joseph, they walked out of the den and knelt down in the valley and prayed, "Are you the Son? We've heard your name and story, please pity us and pray for your salvation! ”

Turns out these people have a strange skin disease, with terrible scars on their faces and bodies, and it's contagious. The priests in the city of Salem, who could not cure them and feared that more people would be infected with strange diseases, ordered them to leave the city state and go into hiding in the wilderness. To return to the city, you must obtain permission from the priest to confirm that they are well. Templar priests can't cure the disease, but their detective magic can tell who is sick and whether they are cured.

The disease is truly intractable, thanks to the fact that they met Joseph today. Joseph reached out and caressed his hand from the top of everyone's head, with a faint, invisible golden light on his fingertips, and did not enter everyone's body, as if there was a grey mist scattered, and then those terrible scars fell off.

Joseph waved, “Now you can go back to Salem City to see the priest, and after the examination the priest will announce that you have recovered. ”

The crowd jumped to its full surprise, screaming through the mountain forest to the north of Salem City. It was not long before they left the crowd in despair. When they met the priests in the city a moment earlier, they could reunite with their families. Everyone couldn't wait to get excited.

Joseph stood still and watched quietly as the shadows of these men vanished into the mountain jungle. Suddenly, a man gasped and turned and ran back along the same path. He knelt down at Joseph's feet and said: "Son, Messiah, the savior sent by God, forgive me for my rudeness, but I forgot to express my gratitude to you or even leave my name and address. My name is Well-Fromm, and I live in Salem City. Looking forward to your opportunity to be a guest in my home, I will do my best to entertain you and your disciples! ”

And Joseph looked at him and laughed, “I saved a bunch of people. Where are the others? You are the only one who came back to thank me, so I would also like to thank you.” Speaking and reaching out and lifting him up, “now you can go back, the carnival is coming, on the last day of the celebration, please prepare a dinner for me and my disciples, we need a quiet and uninterrupted place. ”

Welle walked out of the mountains with great gratitude. Joseph turned to the disciples and said, "I saved those people, and that was their gain; and Wells came back to be grateful, and that was my gain. ”

Judah asked, "Dear Guider, do you not remember hating those who are not grateful to you? ”

Joseph shook his head with a grin: "It doesn't matter if I remember, I'm just saving them, I'm not dissatisfied, I'm sympathetic to their suffering. When I healed, I did not talk about the conditions of gratitude, and when I healed the pain, I forgot them. ”

John asked, “Then why are you thanking Will? ”

“Remembering hate doesn't mean I'll approve, and needing no gratitude doesn't mean I won't accept it," Joseph said. Only by accepting that kind of gratitude in good faith can more people follow my example. Dear disciples, in the future, if I leave you, you should also remember what happened today. ”

……

Close to the celebration, Joseph and his disciples returned to the village of Bertani countryside, and Maddall and Lasalle prepared an abundant meal, welcoming them back and celebrating Joseph's imminent journey to Salem City. This evening, the disciples were laughing and having a good time, only Maria was worried as if something was on her mind. Once she had set the dishes, she went back to her room, carefully picked up her jewellery and left quietly.

After Joseph and the others had finished their meals, Maria returned with a beautiful large bottle containing the most expensive scent. Joseph was resting on a lounger at the table, and Maria walked up to him, dripping a drop of balm over Joseph's hair and dripping on Joseph's barefoot. Then she lay down and gently applied the scent on the back of Joseph's feet with her long hair, filling the courtyard with fragrance.

It was a ceremony dedicated to the Messiah, and Maria had done so in public, and Joseph had accepted it openly, so that people would react that he was the Son of man. And today Maria did it again at home, seemingly unnecessary, and Judah couldn't help but say, "This scent is too expensive, Maria, you should keep the money to buy something more useful! ”

Maria's face flashed with darkness, but she knew better than Joseph's disciples what was about to happen, and she was just expressing herself in this way. "Let Maria do this," said Joseph. “She is expressing her love and generosity to me and will be part of the legend. ”

At first sight of the scene, the wise Judah also implicitly guessed what, and asked: "Dear guide, you should be aware that your enemies hate and hate you. You said mercy and forgiveness from the Savior, and now I want to ask - who is inexcusable? ”

Joseph's armchair sat upright on his back and told a story to his disciples--

Once an official owed the king millions of dollars, the angry king ordered: "Sell him as a slave, along with his wife and children, to repay the arrears. ”

Officials cried on their knees: "Please, Your Majesty, Kai Eun, I will not be able to repay this huge sum. Please be patient and I will definitely try to repay the arrears. ”

The king knew he could not afford it, but he was merciful and forgiven. The official walked out of the palace and ran into a servant, who grabbed the servant and drank: "When are you going to pay me back? ”

The servant pleaded, “Please allow me a little more time. I will work hard and I will definitely pay it back. ”

But the official did not relent, he grabbed the servant and growled: “The time has come, you must repay the money immediately, or you will go to jail.” He arrested the servant and sent him to prison.

After hearing the news, the King said nothing more and ordered the officer to be sent to prison.

And the story came to an end, and Joseph looked around at the disciples and said, "It is unforgivable to think that one should be forgiven for one's actions, but not the same. ”
