This question is too tricky. The old man who looks kind and kind is so sharp. The merchants can't answer it for a while, but they feel inexplicably humiliated. A storyteller with a similar status as a beggar dares to question them like this!

A fat man blushed and walked over with big strides. He was the merchant Shileng who had just called out. He kicked the pottery bowl in front of the old man, pointed at the old man's nose and shouted: "Arohe, the one believed in by Shileng, is the only god. Our prophet Ilia has prophesy. The glory of Arrohe will shine on Shileng, don't make the sound of Shidan here!"

The old man looked at the merchant Shi Leng and suddenly smiled. He was neither angry nor afraid. Instead, he asked slowly: "You are so majestic. If I were the chief of the Maro people, would you still talk to me like this?" Forget it, you should have a good rest and wait for the sun to set to continue your journey, go to do your business, and make your money."

The angry businessman was stared at by the old man's calm eyes and felt a little scared. The old man said later that he was a little embarrassed. The businessman seemed to have found a way out for him, but he still looked angry and walked back and sat down.

Joseph picked up the old man's pottery bowl and coins scattered on the sand, put them back, and said with apologies: "As a cold-retreated person, I apologize to you for the rudeness of my fellow countrymen. There is nothing wrong with what you said, but some people think they have been blasphemed and hurt their sensitive and fragile self-esteem."

The old man sighed: "I am already very old and have experienced enough things.

Many people in this world believe in gods or claim to believe in gods. They hope that the gods they believe in are more noble than others believe in, so they prove that they are also noble: or think they are noble, so the gods they believe in must be noble. What is it to be kicked over a bowl? More than 300 years ago, a man named Aesop was recorded and claimed his life."

Joseph looked at the old man as if he was recalling something: "Aesop? What a familiar name! I'm a little

I have heard a lot of stories he told, which have been widely circulated in the Tianshu Continent. Old man, you just said that Ilya's prophecy may have another meaning. The upcoming savior who led people to establish might not be a great empire like Maro. What does it mean?"

The old man pointed to the fat businessman just now and asked whispered: "John, your name is Johism, right? Do you think that the Messiah, the savior designated by the gods, came to the world to let such people rule the continent? There are too many people who have this expectation for the gods. If these cold-removed merchants learn more, learn more lessons, and do more business for thousands of years, they may use money to bribe the power they want, but this is just the expansion of human dynasty.

In the legend about gods on the road, did the words that God said when he left when he left? The divine realm moved with the temple in his heart, and let the belief left by the Aro River guide deep into people's hearts. Isn't it just to create an ideal kingdom? Opening the door to the temple is the way to heaven. If someone does this, he is the legendary Messiah."

Joshua blinked, and after a long time, he replied, "What do you mean is that the kingdom has existed long ago, and the arrival of the Savior is only to guide the lost people to find the way there? Accepting this guidance, it is not different from the Echites or the Maro people. The glory of God will spread throughout the Tianshu continent with the temple in the soul. This is the meaning of the prophets of the prophets of the prophets of Ilya?"

The old man: "I just pointed out this possibility. Young people, how to understand him still needs to think about it yourself. Have you ever thought about this possibility? Have you ever thought about the same problem?"

John replied, “I have thought of it in my contemplation in the quiet night, but this is the first time I hear someone mention it.

In fact, I am still looking for the path guided by the gods."

The old man looked at Joseph and asked tentatively: "You don't look like a businessman. What is the purpose of you going to Eju after you have walked so far?"

Joshua: "I am a carpenter, a carpenter with great skills. I am not afraid of finding a job anywhere. The caravan needs to repair and drive the carriage. I followed the caravan to Alexandria in Eju, and saw the busiest port and the most spectacular lighthouse on the continent."

The lighthouse mentioned by Joshua is the Alexandria lighthouse built on an artificial island outside Alexandria. It was ordered to be built by Alexandria and was finally completed in the Ptolemaic era. It is more than 400 feet tall and is the tallest building in the entire Tianshu continent. It is even more magnificent than the Gate of the Gods outside Barron. It is not to sacrifice to the gods, but to guide ships entering and leaving the port. It has been standing for nearly three hundred years.

The old man asked again: "Did you go to Alexandria to visit the world-famous lighthouse?"

Joshua looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head and replied, "I actually wanted to visit the Alexander Library. I heard that there is the richest collection of books on the Tianshu continent since ancient times. Unfortunately, when I arrived in Alexander, I realized that when Kai retreated his army, it was destroyed by war.

But seeing the Alexandria Lighthouse is also a pity. The most magnificent buildings I have seen on the mainland are dedicated to the gods without exception. Only this lighthouse is intended to guide the direction of mortals. Instead, I feel that the light on the tower is more like the brilliance of the gods."

The old man looked at the eyes of admiration and suddenly asked again: "Young man, are you looking for a path to transcend eternal life?"

Joseph was stunned, as if he had been seen through his mind, his face turned slightly red, but he nodded honestly and said, "Yes, a long time ago, our God Arrow*

I told the Ileng people that mortals can also transcend eternal life and become angels in the kingdom of heaven. I visited all over the mainland, and I also wanted to find the direction to this path."

The old man asked with interest: "There is nothing embarrassing. All the mortals in the world have the expectation of transcending eternal life. As long as it is possible, everyone is willing to try it. It is the guidance left by the gods. Looking for it does not mean inner greed. So what is your purpose? It is to transcend eternal life and become an angel."

John shook his head gently: "No, I want to guide more people on that path, accept the light of God, and become an angel around the Aro River."

History seems to have gone through hundreds of years of reincarnation. When Ah Méng, who walked out of Duke Town, inherited his mission to unlock the secret of becoming a god. He did it, without the guidance of the gods, and realized the original power by himself and achieved the achievement of transcending eternal life, and then established the divine system to guide more people. Before Ah Méng left, he had descended to tell the world that there was a path to transcending eternal life.

So why did Joseph look for it on the mainland three hundred years later? The reason is very simple. Even if you know that there is a way to transcend eternal life, it cannot be in the hands of everyone. God told the world that people can transcend eternal life, but that was just a slim hope, the most difficult road in the world.

To awaken the power of the origin, at least one great master needs to hold a ceremony to pass the test to understand and practice it. So even if this secret has been made public in the world, it can only be mastered by the high priests of the temple, let alone spread among the people.

The temple of Ahméng was abandoned fifty years ago, and the world no longer offered sacrifices to this god. The path of transcendence and eternal life he guided naturally could not be spread from the temple.

The angels of the kingdom of heaven continue to guide God's messengers on earth, but that is just someone else is afraid of luck. The angels observe and select those who may achieve success through the test.

After Zeus merged with Prometheus's world, he also changed the tradition for thousands of years. He also announced on earth that mortals can also become gods, as long as he has qualified faith, qualities and achievements. In addition to the direct guidance of the gods, the road to transcendence of eternal life is of course guided by major temples on earth. Many high priests in temples are the envoys of Olympus, and there is no other way to do this.

In this way, the secrets that originally belonged to the gods became secrets held by priests and priests on earth. It is said that only those who have the most pious belief in the gods and have made sufficient meritorious deeds are qualified to obtain this kind of guidance, and the priests will hold a ceremony to awaken the original power for him.

This condition itself is fair, but in actual operation, it also becomes a symbol of privilege.

What's more interesting is that some people did not become gods, but were declared as gods by the temple after their deaths, and enjoyed the same treatment as gods in human sacrifices, such as Kaise and Augustus.

These two outstanding Marro rulers were of course awakened to the power of their origin, but their achievements were limited, not to mention transcending immortality.

Joseph was not a Maro nobleman, nor did he believe in the Olympus gods, so it was impossible for him to get this secret from the Maro priest. In his hometown of the Cold Plain, the Aro River also left guidance for two forces. As long as he practiced this power to the eighth level achievement, he would naturally understand the power of his origin and continue to embark on the path of transcending eternal life.

However, this secret is in the hands of the elders in the Sheleng City, and they cannot hold ceremonies for others at will. First, the success rate is too low: second, even if this power is awakened, it does not mean that this person can achieve great achievements or even transcend eternal life. Moreover, even the elders themselves are reluctant to achieve great achievements.

To teach others the path guided by the gods, one must also carefully examine, must have outstanding character and pious and firm belief. This requirement itself is correct, but in human operation, it will inevitably become a privilege of control. An ordinary carpenter like Joshua would almost never have this opportunity unless he can make remarkable achievements, make a request to the elders and be allowed.

Now that the Shileng people are under the rule of the Maro people, the elders of the Shileng have to be cautious. The awakening ceremony of power is almost always kept private and confidential. People like Joshua cannot access this opportunity at all. But he also yearns for this path and goes to various parts of the Tianshu continent to search, trying to find something in the classics of all generations. It is interesting to say that this is what the old madman did back then, and a carpenter like Joshua also wanted to do it.

But the situation of Joseph Jesus was different from that of Ah Méng. In the age of Ah Méng, no one thought that he could transcend eternal life, but in the age of John, even ordinary carpenters knew that this hope existed.

The faith of the Aro River in the Shileng people is very special in the Tianshu Continent today. Because of the unique location of the Shileng Plain, the Black Fire Swamp to the west, the Youdi River Valley to the east, the Assyrian Plateau to the north, the Saltwater Inland Lake and the Syrian Desert to the south, it is a region that is difficult to directly manage. The Maro people only set up a governor here, leaving behind a small number of garrisons to collect taxes from local merchants.

When the Duke Plain was at the junction of Assyrian, Hathi, Barron and Eju countries, it was the center of the Tianshu continent, and that fertile land of thousands of miles was almost a place that military strategists must fight for. But with this,

The formation of unprecedented empires such as Macedonia and Marro, such as the cultural, political and military centers of the Shu Continent have moved westward, and the Duke Plain has become a relatively closed island.

It is precisely because of such a special environment and the unique customs of the Leng people that the Leng people's belief in the Aro River can be generally preserved. The Leng City's situation also somewhat symbolizes the situation of the angel kingdom founded by Ahméng. When Ahméng's divine realm was completely annexed by the Olympus divine realm, Ahméng's heaven became an isolated group in the eternal eternity.

Of course, Elia, the storyteller, knew the situation in the world and heard Joseph's words. He looked at the young man and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Joseph coughed gently and said, "Old man, what are you thinking? Are you tired?"

The old man came to his senses and seemed a little restless. He asked a sudden question: "John, will you, you, the miners' skills?" Joseph replied honestly: "I have learned and have also worked in the mines, but I am a carpenter. Nowadays, the miners rarely learn the skills of miners. It is too difficult to master and too difficult. People also regard miners as a lowly job."

He said that the truth is that the ancestors of the Iron Man all had unique talents precipitated in their bloodlines and inherited the miners' skills of their tribesmen. However, before and after David and Solomon established the Iron Man, Moses' descendants became the richest and most identifiable people in the local area. Hundreds of years later, they also became the most successful merchants on the Tianshu Continent, with footprints spread all over the Maro Empire and even further away. Few people have learned the miners' skills anymore.

The old man stood up with a cane and said, "Young man, where are you going next stop?"

Joshua: "I follow this caravan to Barron, and plan to set out from Barron, find another caravan to travel to Tianzhu to continue searching and thinking, and see if I can gain anything?"

The old man smiled: "The footprints you have taken are the road you have confirmed. After returning to your hometown from India, you will understand it. Young man, I wish you good luck."

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the desert was no longer so hot, and someone called out: "John, come back soon, we will continue our journey!"

John bowed to the old man and returned to his convoy. He was not only a carpenter but also a car driver. He repaired damaged vehicles during the journey, took care of Luoluo and horses, and drove to exchange for rewards and food and accommodation provided by the caravan.

The caravan composed of Luo Luo and the carriage left the ruins of the temple and headed west again. The old man leaned on his cane and looked at the sun in the distance. The team narrowed their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking.

Joseph drove the car to the sand dunes in the distance, but suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable glance. The remains of the statue of God were still in the direction of the horizon, but the water seller and snake charmer,

The old storyteller disappeared. Maybe it was too far away and I couldn't see clearly.

Ilia returned to heaven and called Améng's disciples and Mu Yun and other angels in a palace. He said in a happy tone: "I have been sitting next to the abandoned temple for fifty years, and finally met a man! He is a wailed man. When I told the true meaning of the prophecy of Ilia, he was neither angry nor trapped, but sincerely asked me for advice and admitted that he had thought the same way."

Medanzo said excitedly: "Can it be him?"

Ilia pondered: "I can't confirm, but in fact, I didn't feel any breath."

Gabriel also asked, "Then why did you return to heaven and call us all? Since you said that, there must be a reason."

Ilia sighed: "When he listened to me telling stories, I was so familiar with that look! It was the look when Aesong heard stories and the tone of his speech." He waved his hand and showed a message of light and shadow. "You can see it yourself. I think there is such a possibility, but I can't be sure."

The angels also expressed the excitement and thoughtful god. Michael and a seagull said, "What he wanted to do is almost the same as Nietzsche and Ahméng back then, but they changed their situation and changed their way. In any case, this possibility exists, we must pay attention to him and try to make sure."

Moses suddenly interrupted, "As long as there is such a possibility, things will not be difficult to do. I have a ready-made way to determine whether he is the person we are looking for."

Moses' voice was filled with the divine magic information imprinted into the spirit, which explained his method. In fact, it was very simple to hand over the iron branch staff of Ah Méng to Joshua. This iron branch staff was built by Nietzsche for Ah Méng back then. It accompanied Ah Méng through thousands of mountains and rivers. It has always been his magic weapon and weapon, witnessing Ah Méng's exploration in the world.

Later, Améng handed over the iron branch staff to Moses. Moses led his tribesmen to go through the tests and returned to the Duke Plain. The staff made by the old madman can be secretly inlaid with the eyebrow of the earth, the heart of the blue water, the charm of the wind, and the flame elves. The head of the staff can also be inlaid with tears of the gods. The reference is the staff guarding the saint in the Temple of Isis.
