Chapter 142: The Way of the Gods
John hosted a banquet in his residence, and begged Amon to pay tribute, claiming that he had finally learned to cook, so that the general would taste the delicious food he made. Amon really couldn't imagine that John would cook, so I went there. There were only three of them in the restaurant. Medanzo was also sitting side by side, constantly pouring wine for Amon.
John sent all his servants away, poured a glass of wine for Amon, and went into the kitchen. He was busy for a long time and didn't know what he was doing. Presumably it was cooking. After drinking a bottle of wine, John finally walked in with a delicate silver plate containing three grilled fish. He placed this dish in front of Amon and said respectfully, "General, please Taste my craft. "
Amon lowered the cup in his hand, put a smile on his face and looked at John without speaking, his eyes seemed to contain invisible coercion. John saw Amon not eating, and patted his head with a smile: "Is the general worried that my dishes are not good? This is my own call in the Roni. I tasted it just now and it tastes good!" Then Take the knife, cut a piece of fish and ate it, chewing even the thorns.
At this moment Amon stood up and said coldly, "John, what do you want me to do?"
The Iju people who believe in the God of Nine Unions do not eat fish and never fish in the Roni River, because there is a legend in ancient times that the fish in the Roni River has the flesh of Osiris. John invited Amon to dinner today. He brought up a plate of fish. This was blasphemy, but it didn't seem to want to frame Amon, because he ate it first.
The scene changed a little awkwardly. Medanzo quickly stood up and laughed and rounded the field and said, "Oh God, Amon, John has found the power of Moses and they are practicing both sides, but he has not mentioned it to anyone. He also knew me and Lin Ke is your disciple, so you also want to impart this kind of power. You have already taught the miner skills of John Duke in Helieshan. He can suppress the restless power because of your instructions. In fact, it is already yours. Disciple, you have officially agreed! "
However, Amon ignored Mei Danzuo and continued to stare at John and asked, "It turned out that everything was planned by you. It's not easy. The former grumpy general can now be so meticulous in mind that makes me Very happy. I just want to ask you a word. If I refused your request, would you use my secret to hold you back, or resentment? "
John left the table and knelt down: "General, John would never dare to do this or not, otherwise failing to make such a request in person is equivalent to putting your life and death into your hands. If you have great gratitude to me, even if you refuse me, I I will always be grateful to you! "
Although Amon lost his power, his ability to detect divine magic and that strange induction was more acute than before. John did not cover up when he answered, and Amon could clearly sense his inner emotions, firm and sincere. Amon thought about sitting down, cut a piece of fish with a knife, and drank a glass of wine after eating, and then slowly said, "How do you explain this dish of fish? If it was just to show my loyalty to me It seems unnecessary, and I don't appreciate it. "
John knelt and raised his head and said, "Since I was born, everyone has told me that I should believe in gods, and which gods I should believe in, but I have never been really guided by them. I once told you my experience, once Countless times praying to the moonlight goddess, trying to calm down the restless power, but it is useless.
Until you come to Helieshan, bring me real soberness and peace. You told me that there must be a firm conviction, whether he comes from faith or not, he must see his inner pursuit clearly and find a clear state, then he will know what he is going to overcome. Later, I did it, and I was promoted to a great warrior. This is an achievement that many people dream of but cannot get. "
Amon's expression eased, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny. The goddess of moonlight mentioned by John is Best, she is not only the waiter of Osiris' Hades, but also the of moonlight that means the beauty of the world and the quietness of the night. Thinking about this in his heart, he still said solemnly: "I can see that your wish has been fulfilled. Would you like to ask me more now?"
John shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to ask you more! Today's fish is to tell you the true conviction in my heart. Just now Medanzo called you God of Amon, and it is also my heartfelt, you are in my This is so real! "
Amon asked again, "John, what do you think of the gods in your mind?"
John closed his eyes slightly and pressed his hand to his chest and replied, "I have no intention of being disrespectful to any deities, and can guide me to face the mania in my heart without getting lost, to get out of the physical and mental troubles, to obtain real strength and a stable soul. This is God! It doesn't matter whether he stands on the high platform of the temple or sits in front of his eyes and eats the grilled fish I served. "
Amon finally smiled and beckoned, "Get up, sit down and have a good meal. Don't follow Medanzo blindly in the future."
John still stubbornly knelt down on the ground and said, "God Amon, you haven't given me clear guidance."
Medanzo gave him a slap in the past and said, "I thought you were already very clever. Why did you become stupid? When you got up, you got up." Then John came to his senses, saluted Amon with surprise and joy and then stood. Up.
...
One night a few days later, in the open space in front of the Best Temple, Amon taught John the power of both sides of the body. It was a full moon night, the moonlight shrouded like a veil, and his body was bathed in milky light and looked quiet and magical. Amon lost her strength and did not take out her staff.
As early as Horeb, Amon had already taught John the meditation of two strengths in cultivating one body. However, he did not clearly state each step and the test to be faced. At this time, it was to clear the fog and let him see the true path.
For the first time in his life, Amon did not perform any divine magic, but merely let John pray in the moonlight. With the guidance of the faith in his heart, he opened the way to the gods. This is different from any kind of awakening ritual in the temple. It seems to be just a wake-up in the moonlight, but it has been years before and after.
Amon instructed John to forget that he was a great warrior after returning. He began to confirm this path, practice the simplest divinity, review the most basic physical skills, and experience the connotations of various tests.
...
After John left, Amon did not leave, stood in front of the Temple of Isis and looked up at the moonlight in the sky. He stretched out his hand, palm up, as if stroking the ubiquitous radiance, somehow feeling emotional, and began to sing a psalm, which is the chapter on Best in that volume.
Amon actually sings poetry, which is hardly even conceivable by himself, but at this moment he sings so naturally, it seems to be soothing the legendary moonlight goddess. After singing, the night was silent, and Amon suddenly turned around and saw Schrödinger squatting on the threshold of the temple.
This cat looks so pitiful, even tearful. Amon walked over and squatted asked: "I saw tears in your eyes for the first time. Sorry, did my singing evoke your sad past?"
Schrödinger turned his head back, but his voice came from Amon's mind: "You are wrong, that is just the reflection of moonlight in my eyes. I just wonder, when did you learn to sing?"
Amon: "I asked you several times after reading that book, but you didn't explain it. You want me to help you out of the plight, but I always have to understand what kind of plight it is, and how to explain the legends in the book ? "
Schrödinger: "I let you read those legends, but just tell you the stories of the earth. When you can understand, you will naturally understand. The language cannot be expressed. You just taught the path of the God of John, which is called the power of both sides. But you really need to have that power to help me. I've waited for so many years and don't care about continuing to wait. "
Amon turned to look at Schrödinger and said, "But I don't want you to wait too long. Can you give me some hints? If this is a test, how can I pass?"
Schrödinger lowered his head and buried it in the front paws and replied, "You have already reached this point, and even the gods cannot allow you to directly restore strength. The test you face is an understanding, not how to restore strength. It ’s how to get back to yourself. Only when you let go of everything can we have the moment to have it all again. I know exactly how to pass this test, but I ’m not telling you the truth can prove the achievement, otherwise the world ’s People will be all gods. "
Amon was silent for a long time, carefully experiencing Schrödinger's words, and finally sighed: "Understanding the truth and physically doing things are two different things. Witnessing the existence of a and understanding the secret of becoming a does not mean that he is a god. Even despise All the achievements in this world will pull the gods down from the altar to curse, trample, and abuse, and I will not become more noble because of this, nor will I get a real detachment. I understand this truth .... but the legendary goddess Best Accepting the fate's verdict turned into a cat, sealed and controlled by Osiris, what happened? "
Schrödinger's body slumped, as if a bit cold, and the fur was shaking. Amon held it to his lap and said softly, "What's wrong, do you feel cold, or am I asking the wrong thing?"
Schrödinger replied: "You saw with your own eyes how Enqi fell. It was the torture of fate and the judgment of the last days. I have also experienced the destruction of the body, but the soul has not disappeared. I am a cat. In the face of the opportunity to choose again, I became a cat again. It was Osiris who guided me to recovery, and before I could understand all this, he imprisoned my power with the oath of gods. "
Amon looked down at it for a long time and frowned. "I don't understand."
The sigh of Schrödinger came from the soul: "When you can understand, you will naturally understand without me explaining it. You help me to unlock the seal, and you can also help yourself to face the test of breaking through the level nine achievement, but now It's too early to say these. "
Amon suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you ever experienced the test of losing your strength?"
Schrödinger replied: "Of course, if I have not experienced this test, how can I seal in the body of a cat for so many years, still sober and calm? Can an ordinary person do it, but you need to do it! Really The person who can guide you through this door may not be me. Maybe someone will give you a more important revelation, not necessarily a god. But everything ultimately depends on you, when there is no more perplexity in your heart , The power will naturally not confuse you again. "
...
Spring has come and gone, and on the newly reclaimed land, the seeds have sprouted. The long, hot summer is coming to an end, the wheat in the field is full of ears, and Moses and others are about to usher in the first season of harvest. The annual blessing ceremony of the goddess Isis is finally going to be held. Amon ordered Link to stay in the territory and divided the 36 guards into three teams. One team stayed in the manor and the other two guarded him to Monfis. John and Medanzo followed Amon.
For so long, Amon has been slow to recover his strength. Although he knows the truth of Schrödinger's words, in fact, the old maniac's last message also has a similar statement, but clear does not mean that he has passed the test. Amon not only took two teams to guard this time, but also two masters, Medanzo and John, should be enough to ensure safety.
But during this time, Amon did one thing. He practiced body and divinity every day as usual. Because he could n’t use power, he practiced various martial arts and divine basic meditation. He did n’t have to think about how to use it. Instead, focus more.
He can appreciate the increase of mana but cannot use it, just like a man trapped in a wasteland constantly digging for treasure, but he can't buy anything. If one day he walks out of the wilderness into the world, he will have amazing savings. Amon is making this preparation now. He doesn't know when he can regain his strength, but intends to wait until that day to come, with far more achievements than before.
Amon set off ahead of schedule. He came to Monfisi a few days before the ceremony. Of course, first of all, he had to meet the Virgin. He had not seen Mary for half a year.
The meeting place was still in the spacious private study room of the maiden. First, according to the courtesy greetings, the maiden gave a seat to the general and talked about some past events and preparations for the ceremony. The maiden also kindly asked the general in There is no rudeness to talk about life in the territory.
Amon wanted to find a chance to talk privately with Maria. Before waiting for him to speak this time, Maria waved her hand and said, "I have a few questions to ask the general separately, and you all step down." Gabai It was no wonder that Lei was surprised at this scene. After the servants had withdrawn from the room, she went out to close them and the sword was kept at the door.
It was only Amon and Maria who were alone, and they did not speak for a long time. There they silently stared at each other, as if talking in a silent way. How rare is this quiet and silent look.
It is a pity that the prince's time is limited, they can't just stare silently forever. In the end, Maria sighed and broke the silence: "Amon, I am surprised by what you have achieved. I knew you would do well, but I didn't expect you to do so well!"
Amon also sighed: "Remember when the army returned to Memphis, you were the only one who didn't congratulate me, but just sent someone to express encouragement and blessings. I should be thankful for everything I got today. It's you, Maria! Everything comes from your guidance and help. "She didn't call him a general, but called Amon directly, and he didn't call her virgin, but called Maria.
Maria looked at him, and the light in her eyes seemed to soothe the blessing of Isis, and slowly said, "I didn't have congratulations at the time, because I knew that it was not what you wanted, nor was it your real pursuit. .Although famous nations and Megatrons, you did n’t come here for the first time. No matter what you get or lose, you will not be tempted. You want to save the people and lead them back to their homeland, but they still have n’t realized their wish .In my eyes, you are the person who needs the most comfort. "
When she spoke, Sakura's lips opened slightly, exuding her breath, looking so beautiful and so attractive. For a moment, Amon even avoided his eyes and lowered his head to look at his hand, but then raised his gaze and stared at her red lips: "Everything I can't hide from your eyes. "
Maria asked again, "You can already fulfill your wish today, why haven't you done that?"
This time Amon really lowered her head and whispered, "You know my situation. Although my status is extremely honorable, and my fame and glory have reached their peak, I ca n’t leave the territory at will. This time by participating in the ceremony Opportunity to see you. And I lost my strength, stayed away from strength and magic, I do n’t know how to recover, and when can I recover? In this case, I am not sure, considering everything with my character, I must be safe and thorough, so late No decision. "
This was Amon's most top-secret privacy. He did not mention it to George, Medanzo, Link, John, etc., but spoke frankly under the eyes of Maria. Maria was slightly surprised: "You covered up so well that I didn't even see it! Thank you for your trust and tell me all about it."
Armon crossed his hands and smiled down, "If you don't even trust you, who else can I trust?"
Maria looked at him, and her eyes gradually felt an invisible pressure: "One thing you were wrong! You have considered this matter well enough, even the gods cannot determine everything in the world, you have done your best There is no better way now. This is not your character now, otherwise you would not surprise the enemy and capture King Hatty. Could I ask you a few questions, please answer me, but also answer yourself.
Amon: "You ask."
Maria: "You used to be a passerby who almost fell on the Ronnie River, but later became a general on the mainland of Megatron. Are you still a passerby on the Ronnie River on the battlefield? When you return with honor, But you ca n’t leave the territory without surrendering your military power. In the territory, are you still a general on the battlefield? At this moment, you are sitting in front of me with your head down, or are you the pure boy in Duke? If not, who are you? Yes, then who is Amon? "
Amon finally raised her head, her gaze greeted her gaze again: "I see."
Maria: "Do you really understand?"
Amon nodded and said, "I really understand, thank you, Ai Kou! Your words gave me relief."
