To Four Thousand Years Later

The news that the new Augustus would hold a Sacrifice Festival spread throughout Rome within a few days.

"I will hold a Sacrifice Festival, and I will sacrifice a hundred oxen, a hundred sheep, a hundred calves, and a hundred pigeons as the last sacrifice to the gods in heaven. **** said this to the people. This news made Rome The people are excited. It's not just that people have the enthusiasm for the festival, nor is it that they simply want to sacrifice to the gods.

In a sense... People actually want this kind of luxury. In fact, for the people, it is not a good thing for the emperor to be too frugal. This will make them feel insecure, doubt whether their country can't afford to celebrate festivals, and then suspect that the emperor, unless it is the money squandered by the emperor for himself-as long as the money is for the people, no matter how rich it is, it can Strongly mobilize the national pride and sense of identity.

Especially like this, people who admired **** gathered from all over Rome. Even people from Tire and Egypt got the news and rushed here several days in advance. And Zid and Morrow also got the news. They themselves have to go there without mentioning it, and they all welcome the citizens to participate in the festival held by the emperor a few days later, and even organize a convoy to fight in a greenhouse. This is not a request from Jesus, but caused by their respect and worship of Jesus. spontaneous behavior.

And the citizens of the Federation of Augustus are also very active

A few days passed by in a hurry. In a hurry, the people from Tire and Egypt finally rushed over the day before the festival.

In fact, this time point was also locked in by **** before. With the existence of the tab-key demon **** Fraulos, **** could easily obtain the data on how long it would take from Lu Yu, the capital of the two countries, to Rome. He can't wait too long. Because those three rulers had musicians and dancers from different countries singing different songs and dancing different dances in different corners of the city. There are also vendors selling snacks and handicrafts, and eunuchs who are not so common on weekdays are also singing poems on the street.

"Look over there!"

Someone shouted in the crowd: "It's started, it's started!" If you look in the direction he pointed, you can see many wooden carvings placed on the plate. Carried over by workers in groups of three.

It only needs to be seen by the eye that it is a statue of a god. But unlike the huge statues they often see, these wooden sculptures are only half the height of ordinary people, but the details are extraordinarily realistic.

Not only the gods of Rome, but many people even saw pagan gods—for example, the gods of Egypt and some other ethnic minorities. People gradually calmed down and consciously retreated to both sides of the street. Among those over thirty years old, nearly half still bowed down respectfully to the team carrying the statue.

The sound of counting came. Seventy-two musicians in black robes who played drums, harps, and sang in low voices also sat on the pan, and were carried by people to follow the statues of the gods, singing carols to Jesus. It was a simple, solemn ballad with a repetitive tune. People listened to Ruo's eight-sentence singing, and began to sing along with Ruo in a low voice. After the ninety-nine statues were placed on the square in order, the musicians came down from the platform and sang loudly on the way they came: "My king is holy!"

"My king Shengzai!"

"My king Shengzai

They called three times in a row, and the crowd became noisy.

There is a huge wooden platform several times larger than the previous boards. Dressed in white, the young boy with a solemn face sat cross-legged on it, with a wooden staff wrapped like two snakes on his knees, and his long black hair hung on the platform behind him. He's so short", but as long as you look closely, everyone will be overwhelmed by the aura on his body. Even real gods never had such a blazing and dazzling aura. Under the daylight, his body was filled with light. Seeing his greatness, everyone bowed down to him, praising his holiness. Three times as many people knelt before **** than before the gods. **** was sent to the middle of the square and slowly put the platform on the ground. That is a platform that is not too high. But Ye turned around and spoke to the crowd.

His voice was clear and melodious, with allure and authoritative force: "My people, it is my pleasure to meet you here.

"I am the Rock, I am the Fire, I am the Water, I am the Air. I am the First and will be the Last, I am the Holy Cut, the cornerstone of matter."

"-I am Jesus, your King,

As he said that, he lightly tapped the wooden stick on the ground and scratched it lightly. Everyone was amazed, exclaiming and discussing. Immediately, the offering burned blazingly, just like the best priests when offering to the gods, emitting a burning flame without black smoke. Then, **** went to the second statue, repeating his previous actions. The crowd quietly watched **** perform the sacrificial ceremony. One,...ninety-nine flames burned in the square, dancing quietly, until **** lit ninety-nine offerings in succession, and stood in front of the last sacrifice without a **** image. He just turned around. He said solemnly: "Some of you may be wondering. Curious why I have to sacrifice equally for the gods of all countries.

"We thank the gods for our Mado from the past to the present. God loves us and spoils us like parents.

"But what I want to say is that we, the eldest son of the gods, have grown up. We have depended on the gods for two thousand years, and we have to stay away from the gods for two thousand years. Just like how many years you have lived with your parents, you have to live away for as many years "From now on, we no longer rely on the gifts of the gods, but turn to seek wisdom from the depths of human wisdom.

I hope that people can seek light from wisdom, evil and goodness instead of the sun and the moon; I hope that people can seek wealth from hard work instead of from the gods. "

"I hope that all people on this earth will become righteous, and that war and hunger will be eradicated from the people. I hope that every day on this earth will be better than the day before, that every month will be brighter than the month before, and every year will be brighter than the year before." , I make my last sacrifice to the gods—

Jesus said, turned around, and solemnly inserted his scepter on the last sacrifice. The next moment, all the flames suddenly expanded several times. Swallow all the ninety-nine statues of Biye into the flames.

"I put the gods of the nations in the fire. Not to destroy them, but to give them back themselves!

Jesus raised his hands and said sonorously to the excited crowd: "From then on, man and God will be separated. Heaven and earth will be separated, and there will be no more debts." Don't even think about it! "

A deep voice sounded from behind Jesus. His body was covered with black scales, and it was the scales that cut off the burning flames on the bull. The inhuman man pulled out the burning wooden staff stuck in the back of the bull with his backhand. As if holding a spear, use the sharp end of the stick to penetrate Jesus' back!
