In the Blade

"That was the day our ancestors met the saint who walked out of the desert."

In the camp on the mine outside Dengzhou City, the leading Yi people made a summary to the other Yi people.

Although the leader of the Yi people spoke vividly, the other Yi people had no intention of listening at all - mainly because they took a long time to talk, but in fact they didn't say much. Just say that a long time ago, their ancestors met a saint, and then what?

“Then our ancestors were freed from slavery, right?”

The Yi people came up with a direction, and this was also the most likely outcome.

The main thing is that although they are not very familiar with the scriptures and don't know much about the experiences of their ancestors, they at least know that their ancestors must have escaped slavery-after all, they can't understand such a major event even if they don't read the scriptures. We have all heard of it, not to mention there are more obvious examples, such as if their ancestors did not get rid of slavery, then where did they come from?

So, rounding up, this is roughly equivalent to shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target.

But in the face of this inevitable guess, the leading Yiren shook his head.

"It's not that simple. You have to know what a harsh environment our ancestors faced back then. So many people wanted to escape, and even saints couldn't do it easily... But our ancestors were Blessed by the gods, the gods cannot bear to see the injustice and suffering suffered by our ancestors, so..."

"Wait a minute, I have a question."

The Yiren who was not very firm in his belief raised his hand again.

"Our ancestors were originally slaves, right?"

"A slave persecuted by a cruel king."

The leading Yiren nodded and corrected the other party's wording.

"It is precisely because our ancestors had such a miserable background that the benevolent gods..."

"Wait a minute, I have another question."

The Yiren who was not very firm in his belief once again raised his doubts.

"That's right, slaves. Everyone knows this kind of thing, right? No one will voluntarily become a slave. There must be some circumstances, such as being defeated, or being caught and sold, to become a slave. Slaves, even sent to the mines like us..."

"That...is true."

The Yiren who took the lead nodded slowly.

"So, our current situation is very similar to that of our ancestors back then, with the same suffering and the same difficulty. But think about the ancestors in the scriptures. They faced such suffering and did not give up. In the end, they It was still under the guidance of the saints and the help of the gods that I escaped from death and regained my free identity, so we descendants can also..."

"Well, that's not what I asked."

The Yiren, who was not very firm in his faith, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I want to ask, did the man who sold our ancestors into slavery receive divine punishment?"

…

As soon as these words came out, the already quiet dormitory became even more silent.

Even the Yi people who took the lead stood still.

As a devout believer and a person with his own understanding of the scriptures, the Yi people who took the lead thought that they could use the scriptures to guide everyone in a new direction. Everything is the law of God, and everything is God. arrangement, the suffering they are suffering now is only temporary, and God will not give up on them.

However, that's where the problem lies.

If God really would not give up on them, how could anyone sell them out?

“Does the Bible say that?”

This time, another Yi man with a firmer faith also spoke.

"The Bible should say it, right? God will definitely punish the person who sold our ancestors, right?"

"..."

The Yi people who took the lead were speechless.

He couldn't answer, just because these things were not written at all in the Bible. What was recorded in the Bible was that their ancestors escaped from the hands of the brutal king as slaves. As for how their ancestors became slaves... …These things are not recorded at all in the Bible.

As for whether there is divine punishment, this is not mentioned at all.

It is precisely because of this that the Yi people who took the lead are more inclined to believe that divine punishment has probably never appeared.

He knows the scriptures by heart, and it is precisely because of this that he has a sufficient understanding of the scriptures - and in his memory, all things that can be called divine punishments are basically recorded. After all, this is the moment when the gods show their power, so how could it not be recorded?

As for those that are not recorded, there is a high probability that they are not.

God did not punish those who sold their ancestors. It could even be said that they watched their ancestors become slaves. This kind of thing is simply... unacceptable in any case.

Could it be said that our ancestors really deserved such suffering?

"Ah, ah ah..."

The Yiren who took the lead froze on the spot. He felt that something indestructible was slowly crumbling.

If you look at it from this perspective, the words of encouragement he just said are all jokes. They were sold as laborers like their ancestors, and the devil who sold them did not suffer any divine punishment, and this Does this mean that they, the chosen people of God, actually deserve to suffer this kind of suffering in the eyes of God?

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

The leading Yiren shook his head vigorously. He was unwilling to believe this judgment, even if it came from himself.

So what happened in the beginning? What did their ancestors experience?

What did the parts that were not recorded in the scriptures look like?

——————————

"This city doesn't look that good."

After traveling for most of the day, the three people and the dog, as well as a group of bandits, finally came out of the desert and saw the densely populated city.

But it was called a big city only for the locals. In the eyes of Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao, this kind of thing with only a few rammed earth walls was not even a fortress - but considering that the people here still use bronze, it was okay. At least for the locals, this thing could be considered a city.

The bandits naturally didn't dare to go over there. The guards on the top of the city would shoot them, but the three people and the dog didn't care. Whether it was Du Chengfeng or Wu Zhao, they could clean up the rammed earth city at will.

So, they took the bandits over there.

"Are you going to take it down?"

The bandit leader immediately rubbed his hands. He had been thinking about this for a long time.

No bandit would not want a city of his own. After all, that means the highest honor of being a bandit - not running around like a wild dog, but relying on his own strength to conquer a piece of land that belongs to him.

Bandits without a city are just bandits, and bandits with a city are noble kings!

"What are you thinking about? Don't fight and kill at every turn."

Du Chengfeng has a lot of opinions about this statement. He is a pacifist.

"I just came to see the local customs and people."

The second update is here, and everyone should rest early.

In addition: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

I will sort out my thoughts, good night everyone.
