Chapter 281: Peaceful Evolution
Mu Yun finally understood what kind of kingdom he was, and he said, "Marduk can really imagine that he has created such a kingdom. The more gods that are attached to the kingdom, the greater his knowledge will be. , Theoretically endless. "
Amon nodded and said, "Yeah, he verified this vow in the world, and broke through the end of this vow in the kingdom of God. I also passed a similar test, but the vow was different, so it created my kingdom. . "
In the kingdom of heaven, Amon and Mu Yun explored what kind of kingdom of God Marduk had opened up, and things on earth continued. Darius died, his son Xerxes came to power, and the Poz Empire and the United Kingdom of Heaton were still in continuous fighting. In all the city-states that Heaton had been conquered by Poz, revolts followed, and the Poz Empire shifted from offensive to defensive.
Marduk had already verified the realm he was pursuing, and everything that happened next had nothing to do with him. Even the son of Darius, the new Poz Emperor Xerxes, did not know the great **** of light worshipped by the Poz. Zida is another identity of Marduk.
As the expansion of the Poz Empire came to an end, its national policy also began to change, and its internal rule became increasingly severe. One day, Xerxes ordered the destruction of the gate of the **** of heaven in Barron and the removal of the Marduk temple. Only the people are allowed to believe in the great light **** Mazda, and worship the light torch worshipped by the Boz people.
Mu Yun watched this happen, secretly leaping in the kingdom of heaven, leaning on the blossoming branch of Amen's arms and trembling. Darius's son ordered the destruction of the Marduk Temple, which was indeed absurd to the gods. But with a smile, Mu Yun's face suddenly changed into anger, and he stood up and said, "Amon, your people have demolished our temple!"
Amon also stood up and patted his shoulder. "Why are you angry? You laughed at Marduk just now, but we will also encounter what happened to him."
Mu Yun asked: "Are you happy?"
Amon sighed: "It doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, I just feel a little bit sorry, Marduk's prophecy was confirmed. It really turned out that my people demolished my temple, didn't let Marduk do anything, nor was it done by the army of Poz . "
Amon was the **** of Eju, and Rod Dick never ordered his temple to be demolished. The temple that was demolished in Salem was also the earliest temple of Amon. At that time, Amon directed the disciples to create the city of Salem. He held the idol of the goddess Mu Yun and stood on the altar to accept the sacrifice of the people. It became a symbol of faith. How about people dismantling? This is the change of world affairs.
Marduk once said to Amon: "Even if my followers occupy the entire continent, they will not interfere with Salem's faith. But I want to remind you that people believe in gods, not that they were born. They should believe, but because they can get the comfort of the soul from the gods, or realize their desires in the name of the gods. The world will change as people change their hearts, and the descendants of Salem will make different choices. At that time, I am afraid you will watch your idols dump. "(For details, see" Satan Who Is Satan "in Chapter 224 of this book.)
Marduk said these words not only as "Malduk", but also told Amon that he has another name "Bo Xun", which means that no matter what kind of identity he descended from, or The guidelines given will not interfere with the faith of Salem, and the words spoken by the gods will naturally keep their promises.
The Poz Empire destroyed Elland, Hati, Assyria, Barron and other countries, and the Duke Plain was naturally included in the huge territory of Poz. Salem occupies the northern part of the Duke Plain, while in the south are the Mesopolis and Potamia states occupied by Hati. After Hatti's destruction, Poz will bring Meso, Potamia, Syria, and nearby Several city-states merged to form the province of Syria.
Salem's status has always been very special. In fact, it has always been independent, but it has never declared its independence in name. On the surface, it belongs to the kingdom of Hati and the city of Syria. When Hati Kingdom was annexed by Poz, it was subordinated to the newly established province of Syria.
The territory controlled by Salem is completely surrounded by the Poz Empire, and trade must also be conducted with the Poz Empire. There is no other choice. In addition to self-use, the materials produced by the Salen City can only be sold to the provinces of the Poz Empire. The properties required by the Salen City must also be exchanged with the surrounding provinces to pay taxes unified by the Poz Empire.
Except that the Poz Empire did not assign a total capital to Salem, the status of Salem was equivalent to a relatively autonomous large city-state in Poz, and it could not exist without the Poz Empire. After George and Link retired from the Garden of Eden, Aesop and Joshua also became older, when Amon left Salem, the main governors of Salem were Tiki-Chou and Eucer. The two were sober about the situation in Salem, and their main policy was to keep the status quo unchanged.
Amon was only fourteen when he left the town of Duque and was exiled to the mountains. When he last appeared to the people of Salem for the last time, he was only twenty. In terms of human life, he should be fifty-eight years old now, and world affairs have passed for many years, and earth-shaking changes have taken place on the continent.
Most of the people in Duke Township were buried in the flood in the early years. Among the more than 60 people who survived, the youngest was David Solomon, followed by Amon, and Moses. Moses was two years older than Amon, and David Solomon was eight years younger than Amon. David was taken out of Duke Town by his father for the first time at the age of six to meet with the city-states of Syria, and he just avoided the flood and became the youngest survivor.
After Amon left Salem, Dicky-Chou and Ucil were also aging, and David Solomon became the new-generation ruler of Salem. Medanzo once directed David-Solomon's original strength. This child is very clever. He achieved level 6 achievement before the age of 20, but it took many years to continue to advance. It was only when he was 40 years old that he became the city master and broke through the level 7. achievement.
David-Solomon also inherited the essence of the blood of thousands of years of Dukezhen people, and obtained the original strength guided by Medanzo. He was very powerful and very clever. But there are some things that are difficult to explain. People with better qualifications or smarter are more likely to understand the mysteries of cultivation, but you cannot rely on these to achieve high-level achievements, otherwise high-level achievers in the world will not be so rare.
In his youth, David performed better than the young Amon in many aspects, but among the many beings in the world, there are almost countless people who have better conditions than Amon. In comparison, David's ability to break through the high-level achievements of the original power and become the leader of Salem is quite remarkable.
In the later period of the governance of Diqi-Chou and Usil, Salen actually entered the era of judge management, and the people of Duke Town gradually became the rulers of Salem and took control of the city's power and wealth. Three of the twelve judges directed by Moses were killed, three of them later entered the Garden of Eden, and the rest grew old in the city of Salem.
These judges were very old and authoritative. They guided the tribe to sacrifice to Aroum, and they played an increasingly important role in city management until David grew up. The new generation of people in Duque Town is also in full swing. The descendants are reluctant to mention Duke Town, which represents the sinners. They only claim to be the Salem--a covenant with Alor, redeemed and blessed by God Salem.
With the support of the older generation of judges, David Solomon was also very talented. Not only did he establish absolute authority among the Salems, but he also controlled the entire Salem city. The status of the original God of Amon.
This result is somewhat surprising, but it is also inevitable from another perspective. At that time, there were only dozens of survivors of the Duke people. When they came to Salem, there were thousands of residents in the city, which seemed inconspicuous. But they enjoyed the most fertile land, inherited the mines of the clan people, and made important contributions in the war to protect the city-state.
The surviving generation can be said to be very amazing. When they have gone through all the hardships and finally freed from the suffering and destiny endured by the generation, they no longer need to engage in hard miner work in person, and another kind of wisdom broke out. Whether they are operating a farm or a commercial exchange or loan business, they are doing very well, not only because of their capital and prestige, but also because of their knowledge and resources.
Strength and wisdom are also the wealth left by the ancestors, making them the richest people in Salem. The girls are willing to marry Salem. They have excellent conditions, can give their descendants the best education and living environment, and can even master several languages and words on the road. Gradually, the population has prospered, and after two generations, the number of this tribe has grown. Over a thousand.
The composition of the other people in Salem consists of several aspects: cave savages or plateau giants who have migrated from the mountains, tramp explorers and rogue proletarians from neighboring countries, bankrupt craftsmen, and farmers who have lost their land. These people are incomparable with the Salem in every respect, and apart from that, most of them are illiterate.
The Salem who possesses wealth and knowledge also has the power to sacrifice to the gods in the city, and represents the will of the gods. People's beliefs are not vacant. They will be inevitably affected by the environment intentionally or unintentionally. The Salem people have control over economic and political resources and naturally control the social resources that spread beliefs.
In the early years on the battlefield, the people of the city of Salem, who had summoned Amon ’s advent, died, and the new generation gradually grew up. They did not have the experience of their fathers, they lived in a new environment, and they followed the Salen people to believe in Alor The population is growing. As the Poz Empire continued to expand and burned the flames of light throughout the continent, the worship of Aloya also went deep into the hearts of the people in Salem, and gradually became the mainstream of this city-state's faith.
However, the main temple of this city-state is still the Temple of Amun, which stands in the center of the city-state square and looks so tall and magnificent. However, on the altar, Amun carrying the statue of Mu Yun, now it seems a bit frivolous, not solemn and sacred. There is also a temple of Alorah in Salem, but it was only built where the people of Duke Town lived in the first place.
This city-state's new generation of rulers gradually had an idea in their minds, hoping to replace the original Amon Temple with the main temple of Arahman. When the older generation was still alive, this idea was only in their hearts. After the new generation of Salem represented by David-Solomon came to power, this desire became stronger and stronger, because Arroyo's status also Symbolizes their status.
Before the death of Joshua, a Bible was handed over to David-Solomon, which recorded the experience and suffering of the Duke people, and was guided by Arroyo to return from the distant Eju During the process, Arroyo's signs, miracles, hymns and legends were also collected. It is a history that carries the faith of the Salen people, and records the agreement between the gods and the people. The Salen people are proud and proud.
David-Solomon is also a witness to this history. He can naturally see many of the legendary changes and exaggerated elements, and more or less can guess the relationship between God Amon and Aromon, but the gods David David Solomon would not say anything unless he said it.
On the other hand, the belief in Arroyo is not an individual thing for David, but the wishes and beliefs of all the people. It is not only related to spiritual sustenance, but also really determines the interests and status in the world. Since David is the leader of his people, what he does must represent this desire and belief.
Any successful change requires the right time to adapt to a seemingly irresistible trend. The first opportunity has finally emerged: the coup in Eju. Tutankhamun assumed the throne and assumed Amon as the Lord God of the Eju Kingdom. The Salem hated the Iju, because in their Bible, the ancestors were once enslaved by the Iju and returned to their homeland under the guidance of Aloyo. It was the demonstration of the miracles that made them defeat the evil **** of Ego .
Now that Amon has become the main **** of Eju, they naturally do not want to see the city states they control still sacrificing to the gods of Eju, as if they are constantly awakening some kind of shameful memory. David-Solomon took the opportunity to order that the sacrifice to Aroum became the official ceremony of the city-state, replacing the original sacrifice to the **** Amon.
This order was opposed by a few people, but it was approved by the majority and by default, because David did not overthrow the temple of Amon, nor forbid the people from sacrificing to Amon God, but only changed the official main sacrifice target. .
Although the Salem people are prosperous today, they are still a minority in the total population of Salem, but they can control the entire city-state. They practice a kind of elite politics, which seems fair and reasonable and conforms to public opinion, but through the control of economic resources and political resources, they have grasped the right to speak in public opinion and shrouded the wishes of the vast majority of people.
People often think that they have made their own choices. In fact, the results they can choose are just the results that others have already prepared for them. This is the core of this elite politics, which may be manifested in various superficial forms, and has a wide range of influence in later generations, but at this time it is just a source.
The second opportunity the Salen waited for was the setback in the expansion of the Poz Empire. The country was at a turning point of prosperity and decline. When the Hippo war became increasingly passive, Eju took the opportunity to break away, and the control within the empire declined. Sri Lanka ordered the demolition of the Gate of the Gods and the Temple of Marduk in Barron.
David-took the opportunity to order the dismantling of the Temple of Amon and the construction of the more magnificent Temple of Aromon on the original site of the Temple Square. At this time, ten years have passed since the last official sacrifice reform. With the preparation of this decade, the resistance encountered when actually doing it is already very small.
David-Solomon dismantled Amon ’s temple for two main reasons: First, the city ’s official sacrifice was Aroma, which was supposed to become the main temple; and second, the former Anuna had been demolished in various parts of the Poz Empire. The temples of the enlightenment system. Assyria, Barron, Hati and other countries that worship Anuna ’s deities are long gone. Amon stood with the statue of Mu Yun on the altar of the city ’s main temple. Against the divine solemnity of the gods.
But David-Solomon still had a hand. He just replaced the former Amon with Arroyo to become the city **** and demolished the original idol, but did not forbid people's belief in Amon. Those who believe in Amon can privately build temples for Amon in other places. This has nothing to do with Salem officials, and no city-state sacrifice will be held.
In fact, these don't matter anymore. The Salem people have the best land in Salem, controlled the economic, political, and cultural resources, and believe in the **** Amon is already a nostalgic nostalgia. Is the only **** this city-state believes in. In the view of the people in Salem, Amon gradually became a legendary hero and a mythical figure by an alien race.
Arroyo is another identity of Amon, and doing so makes no difference to the gods. Just as Xerxes ordered the dismantling of the Marduk Temple and a sacrifice to the light **** Mazda, Marduk does not matter. In recent decades, the Tianshu continent has undergone drastic changes, and the gods worshipped by many kingdoms have also changed frequently. There are gods to guide them, but the most important thing is the human situation.
When the main temple of Amon in Salem was demolished, Marduk's prophecy was finally fulfilled. Amon could only express his emotions, but persuaded Mu Yun-seeing the temple of Marduk, the same happened.
Mu Yun was just a moment's anger, and then he was angry and funny: "I used to be the patron saint of Duke, but Duke was destroyed by the flood. I hope you can guide the people to restore my godland, and you have fulfilled your promise . But it ’s still your clan who demolished your and my temple. Being a **** in the long history should become very calm. ”
Amon: "The Ararat they believe in is still me, and the promises I made with the people are still engraved in the temple. People need their gods to prove their glory, and my people are all beings, no matter Who is guided by the convictions I have left, the soul can be detached, and it can also come to my heaven. "
