Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The world no longer believes in the god Am¨¦ng and has forgotten all his glory and holiness.  The statue of Am¨¦ng lying upside down on the sand dune silently symbolizes that this god has returned to the human world to reincarnate.

    But all this does not prevent Am¨¦ng's story from continuing to spread. Out of a sense of curiosity, people may be very interested in this ancient myth.  Fun facts about the world.

    Where there are caravans resting, there are usually people taking advantage of the opportunity to do business. For example, next to the ruins of this temple, there is a vendor who sells spring water in a skin bag.  Not far from the vendor, there was a ragged artist playing the flute. There was a basket in front of him, and in the basket there was an upright snake twisting, as if dancing to the sound of the flute.  A passing businessman would find it interesting and drop a few bait coins in a pottery bowl at his feet.

    Ilya also followed the local customs, sitting on a scattered stone under the shadow of the statue, leaning on a cane and placing a pottery bowl in front of him, just like a folk storyteller.  If the passers-by listened happily and hoped that the old man would talk for a while, they would also throw a few copper coins into the bowl.  But this ruins is too desolate and remote. Although caravans pass by every day, there are very few vendors and buskers who come here. Only Ilya comes here almost every day.

    The sun was particularly bright that day. The coachmen, guards and merchants who were resting all tried their best to huddle in the shadow of the statue, waving their fans, sweating and panting. They all listened to the old man telling stories, but not many  A man is willing to stand up and throw a copper coin into his bowl.

    At this time, a young man went to the vendor and bought a bag of water. He walked over and handed it to Ilya and said, "Old man, you have been talking for a long time. You should be thirsty. Drink some water to moisten your throat. I see you can't stop talking."  I didn¡¯t bring the water bag with me. I probably live near here, but it¡¯s inconvenient to walk here, so I¡¯ll give you this skin bag.¡±

    The old man has been telling stories for such a long time in such a dry and hot desert, but his voice is not hoarse at all. The wrinkles on his forehead are deep but his eyes are clear and bright. He does not look like an old man at all.  The old man looked up at the young man, smiled slightly, took the skin bag, stood up from the stone and bowed slightly: "Thank you, the gods have given you such a kind character." The young man bowed back and said, "It should be me.  Thank you for telling us such a long and wonderful legend at such a hot noon, just like a cool breeze coming from the desert." The old man smiled and said: "I am telling you the legend of Am¨¦ng. Young man, may I ask?  Where are you from and do you believe in gods?¡±

    The young man replied: "I am a Seleng man from the Seleng Plain, and I believe in my god Aluo River.

    The old man asked again: "Then do you like to listen to the story of God Am¨¦ng? He is the god that the Aiju people once believed in." The young man smiled: "When people like to listen, the stories you tell are very exciting. There are stories all over the continent.  Different legends about gods express people¡¯s beliefs or past beliefs. These legends also contain people¡¯s understanding of gods and their own wishes. It can help people think about and how to view their beliefs about gods.  ?¡±

    This young man is about in his early twenties, with thick dark brown hair and slightly curly hair, a strong and tall figure, and strong hands covered with calluses.  He looks very handsome, and the outline of his facial features vaguely reveals a perseverance. When he smiles, he looks good and has an invisible appeal.

    The old man nodded and said, "Are you still willing to continue listening?"

    The young man bent down and put down a few copper coins in the pottery bowl: "If you are not tired, drink some water and take a break. I also want to hear the next story."

    The old man opened the stopper of the skin bag, drank some water, and continued to tell the legend of Am¨¦ng.

    At this time, a cloud floated over to cover the blazing sunshine, and a cool breeze blew from the distance. The desert seemed to become extremely quiet, and the old man's voice seemed particularly clear next to the ruins of the temple.

    The old man just talked about the battle between God Am¨¦ng and the gods of Olympus, and then he talked about how Am¨¦ng accepted the challenge of Artemis in the clouds and was shot down to earth with an arrow.  The audience not far away all said "Oh", as if they suddenly realized it. Some people couldn't help but interjected: "No wonder this temple is abandoned. It turns out that Zeus defeated Am¨¦ng, and the Olympus gods annexed Am¨¦ng."  In human territory.¡±

    Someone else explained: "That's because the rise of the Maro Empire conquered the Aegyus and required the Aegyus to convert to the Olympus gods. Then people made up this kind of legend and used the stories of the gods to explain the world.  Things, or human things are used to symbolize what happens to gods.¡±

    The people in the caravan have traveled extensively and are well-informed, and what they say is not unreasonable.  The young man asked Ilya with great interest: "According to your statement, God Am¨¦ng seems to have returned to the world voluntarily. What did he say when he left? It was really Zeus who defeated him.?  The old man raised his cane and pointed at the lying statue beside him and said, "Yes, it seems that Zeus defeated him."  In other words, the Maro Empire conquered Eju and ordered to change the people's beliefs.  But when God Am¨¦ng left, he said that the faith he guided would be accompanied by the temple in people's hearts all over Zeus's so-called divine domain. By then, he would return to his heaven.  Some people also say that Am¨¦ng will guide people to establish a new kingdom in the human world and completely defeat Zeus.  "

    Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly and said: "Myths from various places are always similar. In my hometown, I once heard another version. The protagonist in the story is not a god like Am¨¦ng, but a god who appears.  Messiah on earth.¡±

    The old man's eyes lit up, he looked at Am¨¦ng and said: "Are you talking about the prophecy of the prophet Elijah? I have also heard it mentioned by the merchants from Sanliang. But I don't know how it is spread in your hometown now.  , if you are willing, can you tell me? I can also tell this legend to people passing by."

    The young man replied: "Of course I can tell you. Elijah's prophecy has been circulated in my hometown for hundreds of years and has become a kind of expectation of people. The Messiah will come and lead the people who truly believe in the Aro River to their destination.  Home country.,¡­

    The old man nodded and said: "This is the true nature of Elijah's prophecy. It is more like a fable. In your hometown, how do people understand it?"

    The young man then replied: "In my hometown, the people of Saleng all believe that a person will come. He is not only a prophet like Elijah, but also a savior appointed by the gods. He will lead the people of Saleng to escape from being ruled.  Destiny to build an ideal country. Just like Moses, the ancestor of our Seleng people, led his people to get rid of the slavery of the Eju people and established the city of Seleng on the Duk Plain."

    The city of Cold War was not built by Moses, but by Link and Aesop.  But later, David ordered the demolition of the Am¨¦ng Temple and the construction of the Arrow River Temple. This is the history that young people heard.  Since there were other people around him, the young man was very careful with his words and did not directly state the Saleng people's desire to overthrow the Maro Empire, or even conquer and replace the Maro Empire in ruling Tianshu Continent.

    In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter what you say here. This is a caravan of people evacuating the Leng people. They also employ Eju¡¯s grooms and guards. There are no Maro soldiers or officials here.

    The old man narrowed his eyes and asked quietly: "I have been telling stories about gods to passers-by here for a long time, and I have heard too many legends, some of which people know, and some of which people don't know yet.  Understood. Young man, have you ever thought about another possibility, that the prophecy left by Elijah has another meaning? What the Messiah guided people to establish was not a large empire like Maro, but  Is it a homeland in another sense?¡±

    The young man also narrowed his eyes: "Oh? This is the first time I heard this statement! What do you mean?"

    The old man said unhurriedly: "The Celeng people believe in the Arrow River as their only god, just like the Aiju people once believed in Am¨¦ng as their god, and the Maro people believed in the Olympus gods. I want to ask  What do you mean by the only god? How is this god different from that god? Do people think they are noble, so they think the gods they believe in are also more noble? Is it possible that this is just an arrogant sense of superiority and self-suggestion?  Should I have a status superior to others?" The young man was slightly startled, as if he was thinking, and did not answer immediately.  At this time, someone in the caravan shouted angrily: "Joseph, don't listen to that old man's nonsense anymore. That's Satan's voice! The only God is the only God. God once agreed with Moses, "Except for me."  , you can have no other gods.  , don¡¯t let Satan¡¯s voice shake your will and destroy our hopes.

    The young man named Jesus turned back and said: "This is the border of Egypt and it is also under the rule of the Maro Empire. This old gentleman has not received the brilliance of the Aro River. It is completely normal for him to raise this question.  But God¡¯s brilliance lies in guidance. People are not born with this belief, so why should you be angry? When you see regrets, you should also see hope. This shows that God¡¯s brilliance can shine on more spirits. A voice shouted  : ¡°Jesus, you kind and ignorant child!  Aluohe is the god of the Saleng people, and the Saleng people are a nation that has made a covenant with God. How could this old man from a foreign race understand?  The old man shook his head in the direction of the voice and said: "This businessman who is trekking in the desert, you are seeking your wealth. It is given by the gods and earned through hard work. This is the same for everyone in the world."  Is it in your understanding that the light of the gods only shines on the cold people?  So let me ask you, if other people also believe in Aroho, will God¡¯s light shine on them, and will God give them the same blessings and promises as the Saleng people?  "!.
