Chapter two hundred and thirty eight, the prophet
In an inconspicuous and dilapidated little house in "Petaker Alley", Oliver met the gang leader Feijin.
"Oliver, come back...well, why did your hand hurt?" Fei Jin threw down the somewhat miserable Bible in his hand and walked over.
"I met a damn stick and got a stick," Oliver said indifferently.
"Let me see..." Fei Jin said.
Oliver reached out his injured hand, Fei Jin looked at it, and moved his fingers with his hands.
"Oliver, your hand is injured, but there is no big problem. It should be swelling tomorrow. Well, that policeman is very kind, and he hits you with a stick? In addition, I have reminded you before, don't call the policeman, and say that he is used to it, and people will notice you as soon as he opens his mouth."
"Boss, I understand." Oliver told Fei Jin about what happened.
"Boss, there is also this book. I have picked it up. I think you may be willing to read it, so I brought it to you." After talking about what happened today, Oliver took out the book and handed it to Fei Jin.
"Spartacus?" Fei Jin took the book and turned it around.
"Boss, what's it written here?" Oliver asked.
Fei Jin has many children around him. When he has nothing to do, Boss Fei Jin will tell them some stories to pass the time.
"Ah, this is a script that tells the story of Rome thousands of years ago..."
Fei Jin originally thought this was just an ordinary heroic story, but the more he saw it, the more frightened he became, and the more excited he became.
"No wonder, no wonder..." Fei Jin couldn't help but say.
"Boss Fei Jin, what did you say? No wonder?"
"I mean, no wonder the British government wants to go to war with the French. If the French had the thoughts in this book, wouldn't the men be scared crazy? But from this point of view, the French had a lot of misunderstandings about God and religion. This is normal, because both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church had actually turned against God long ago.
Oliver, do you remember that I told you about Jesus being alone in the desert and being tempted by the devil?”
"Of course I remember." Oliver replied.
"Then do you remember, what did the devil use to test Jesus?"
"I remember the first one seemed to say that Jesus was hungry, and the devil said, "If you were the Son of God, you could command the stones in this desert to turn into bread." The second one was that the devil brought him to the top of the temple and let him jump down. He said to him, "If you are the Son of God, you can jump down. For it is written that it says, "For you, command His messengers, hold you with your hands, lest your feet touch the stone."
The third one seemed to be the devil who took him to the highest mountain and pointed out all the nations in the world and the glory of all nations. He said to him, ‘If you bow down and worship me, I will give you all this.’”
Fei Jin nodded and said, "Oliver, you are the smartest one of my children, you remember well. So do you know, what do these three temptations of the devil mean?"
Oliver shook his head.
"These three temptations represent the most powerful thing in the world, that is miracles, secrets and authority. My child, why didn't Jesus turn stones into bread? Can't the omnipotent God turn stones into bread?
No, the question is not here. If Jesus turned stones into bread, people all over the world would follow him, but was it because he admired his teachings and followed him? No, it was just because he could perform miracles. People follow not love, but miracles. So Jesus said, "How ungodly people in this age are there, there is no miracle for people in this age."
My children, but now, look at the churches, whether it is the Catholic church or the Anglican Church, what are they in their hands? Isn’t it the three things that Jesus rejected at the beginning—miracles, secrets and authority? Where did they get them—and since Jesus had rejected them all? Of course, these things came from it, from the negation spirit. Oliver, the church today, has long abandoned Christ and followed the devil.”
"Boss, I don't really understand." Oliver shook his head and said.
"Oh, Oliver, you are too young, and it is normal for you to not understand these things. You only need to know that you should believe in God and God's salvation, but it is enough not to believe in those priests. As for other things, you will understand them in the future."
At this moment, there was a clamoring applause from outside, and a voice came in: "Colia, you are becoming more and more proclaimed."
Oliver was startled and jumped up and grabbed a knife.
"Friends outside, please come in and talk." Fei Jin was not panicked, but said calmly.
So the door was pushed open and the "decent man" walked in.
"Colia, my brother, we finally meet again. Well, where is Mr. Feijin? I haven't seen him for a long time." Yagga Gaoleng spread his arms and walked towards Feijin, giving him a bear hug.
"Now I'm Fei Jin." Fei Jin patted Yagga Gaoleng's back and said, "Since two years ago, I'm Fei Jin."
"Oh..." Jag Gaoling let go of Fei Jin, his face a little dull, "You are Fei Jin now, so how are Fabio and Rembrandt?"
"If they are still alive, I will still be called Coria now," said Fei Jin.
The two of them looked face to face, silent for a while, and then Fei Jin said, "Yager, you are the decent person Oliver met, right? Well... how did you come here over the years?"
"It's a long way to say it." Jagga Gaoleng found a small stool himself and sat down without any image. "In 1988, I ran to France. Well, what you know is the boat you helped me get on. Then I went to Paris. I found a job in Paris and worked as a supporting role in a troupe. Sometimes I secretly worked in some old business in the past. Well, it was the first troupe to perform the script you just saw.
Later, in that troupe, I met many big names who later became famous. For example, the St. Just, who once played Spartacus in "Spartacus". You may have heard of him."
"Yes, I've heard of it." Fei Jin nodded, "the men described him as a monster who escaped from hell."
"Many French people describe him in this way. But I am his friend, and I still do it now," said Jag Gaoleng.
"Our friends, including ourselves, aren't all monsters they call them like that." Fei Jin also smiled. He felt that this brother who had not met for more than ten years was still a brother connected by blood.
"Later the French rebelled, and I participated, too." Yagga Gaoleng, "I watched the men and women be at a loss, and the nobles, the profiteers, and the big men be pushed to the guillotine one by one - that was a good time worth remembering.
However, the revolution was setback later. Well, Pastor Feijin said that most of the struggles in the world were ended with heroic sacrifices of those who were truly sincere and brave, and those slim boys took the opportunity to steal their achievements. The situation in France was actually similar. Although none of the three brothers of the Bonaparte family were completely slim boys--they were all very capable people, they were not really willing to sacrifice for their ideals. They were heroes, but not saints."
"So, Yag, what are you doing now?" Fei Jin asked.
"I, I'm very developed now." Yaggo Gaoleng laughed, and stood up and turned around in front of Fei Jin. "Look, do I look like a master who should be hanged? Well, I am now the second-class secretary of the French Embassy in the United Kingdom. This identity is still enough for me to be brothers and brothers with the "masters" we had nothing to do with before.
Oh, a few days ago I met the old dog Oku, who was biting behind my butt, forcing me to escape to France. Now the old dog is older, but its nose is still very flexible. I recognized him at the first sight and he recognized me. However, I was taken by a big man he wanted to call "Grandman" to ask them some things. So although he recognized me, he could only wag his tail respectfully to me. This is really...hahaha..."
"Since you have become a big shot, why are you still coming to me for?" Fei Jin asked.
"Of course it's for the revolution." Jag Gaoling replied without hesitation, "Fekin, you know that France and Britain have reached peace recently. But what I want to tell you is that this peace is just a truce. Now it's just because everyone is tired of fighting a while ago, so they need a little rest. Those nobles in Britain, as long as they have a breath, they will want to kill all of us. Well, you just read the book "Spartacus" and you should understand why."
Fei Jin nodded.
"The free people and the tyrants cannot exist in the same world at the same time. One of them must fall down." Jaggo Gorlen said, "The French naturally understood this. So Lucien Bonaparte ranked me here. One of the goals he sent me was to set off a revolution in Britain.
Of course, I just said that the three brothers Bonaparte were all heroes, but neither of them were saints. Mr. Lucien Bonaparte was no exception. He did this just to defeat Britain faster. The ** of the French revolution was actually over.
Well, Feigin, have you seen the slave war song in "Spartacus"? At the time in Valme, the French soldiers sang this song and defeated the arrogant foreign invaders. But now, in France, few people sang this song again. Although it was not stated clearly, in fact, it is no longer allowed to sing this song again - the French revolution stopped halfway.
However, even the French Revolution, which was stopped in the middle, brought more power and interests to the French people. The French people now live much more like humans than the British people. However, this should not be the end of the revolution. Minister Lucien had his considerations, but we had another consideration. Feijin, do you want to hear our considerations?"
"Tell me." Fei Jin said.
