Chapter 429: [I Hope No]
Chapter 429 [I Hope No]
Chen Xiaolian and Qiao Qiao walked side by side on the streets of the ancient city.
Having just passed the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, it is getting denser. Chen Xiaolian and Qiao Qiao walked side by side, holding hands, walking in the sun. As if it wasn't a mission, but a simple couple's outing.
Chen Xiaolian could feel Qiao Qiao's slender fingers and soft palms, and he could feel the girl snuggling up to him, and when he turned his head slightly, he could see the smile and gentle eyes on Qiao Qiao's face.
"It's like a tour. Jojo muttered under his breath.
"Hmm. Chen Xiaolian nodded.
Qiao Qiao stared at Chen Xiaolian, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I don't know when, we can be truly carefree, we can come out and play together, just like those ordinary people, we don't have to think about life and death, and we don't have to worry about any quest tasks." ”
Chen Xiaolian opened his mouth, looked at the girl's eyes, and suddenly took a deep breath: "There will definitely be that day, I promise!"
Qiao Qiao suddenly stretched out his hand, gently touched Chen Xiaolian's face, and said softly: "I believe everything you say." ”
A few minutes further on, you will arrive at the world-famous "Wailing Wall".
It has been built into a square.
The weather is good today, so the square is full of people.
Chen Xiaolian and Qiao Qiao walked into the square hand in hand, standing in the distance and looking at the white wall......
"This is the Wailing Wall. Qiaoqiao frowned: "It seems to be ...... Well, I thought it would be bigger. ”
"Shhhh Chen Xiaolian made a gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense here, in their eyes, this is a holy place." Chen Xiaolian pointed to the Jews with small round hats around him.
The Wailing Wall is surrounded by many tourists, not just local Jews. There are many, many people of all colors, many of whom will walk up to the wall and whisper prayers, and some will take out small notes of their wishes and stuff them into the cracks in the walls.
Qiao Qiao was obviously a little curious, and turned his head to look at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian sighed.
Qiao Qiao took out a pen and paper from her bag and smiled at Chen Xiaolian. Chen Xiaolian reluctantly turned around and let Qiao Qiao lie on his back to write.
Jojo quickly wrote the note and folded it.
"What was written?"
"If I don't tell you, it won't work if I say something like making a wish. ”
Chen Xiaolian rolled his eyelids: "It's not a birthday wish, it doesn't seem to be so particular to make a wish in front of the Wailing Wall." ”
"No matter, I can't say it anyway. Qiao Qiao's little face flushed slightly, and then he pulled Chen Xiaolian towards the Wailing Wall.
According to local custom, men approaching the Wailing Wall had to wear a domed Jewish hat. Chen Xiaolian naturally follows the local customs, and at the workbench next to him, he can receive the round hat provided for tourists, after putting it on, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but smile, and then was about to take out his mobile phone to take pictures, but Chen Xiaolian grabbed her: "Put it away, it's not allowed to take pictures here." ”
"You look so funny wearing this, I'm going to take a picture of it when I get back. ”
The two approached the Wailing Wall. Wait in line slowly and wait for the time when there is finally an empty spot. The two stood together in front of the Wailing Wall.
Jojo reverently stroked the wall with both hands, muttering something in a low voice, then took out the note and stuffed it into a large crack in the wall.
Chen Xiaolian stood beside her, just looking at his girlfriend with gentle eyes.
"Don't you make a wish?" Qiao Qiao looked at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian thought about it and walked over. I also touched the wall, and then gently made my wish.
After the two of them finished making their wishes, they quickly left, and after walking more than ten meters away, Qiao Qiao looked back at the wailing wall.
"What do you think...... Will the wish come true?"
"People must have some faith. If you believe in your heart, then it will be possible. ”
Qiao Qiao tilted her head and looked at Chen Xiaolian with blinking eyes, her long black hair drifting in the breeze: "Tell me, what wish did you make just now?"
"You can't talk about it. ”
"You don't think there's such a rule. Jojo started to cheat.
Chen Xiaolian was helpless, but suddenly took a step closer, grabbed Qiaoqiao's waist with his hands, and dragged her into his arms, the two got close, Chen Xiaolian whispered the answer in Qiaoqiao's ear:
"I prayed to the gods: whatever wish Miss Jojo makes, I want her dreams to come true. ”
Some mist suddenly welled up in Qiao Qiao's eyes, she stared at Chen Xiaolian, and simply leaned her head on Chen Xiaolian's shoulder, but glanced back at the ancient wailing wall.
"How old is this wall?"
"I don't know, it's been more than a thousand years. ”
"I always felt ...... Standing here, it's as if we've known each other for more than a thousand years. ”
Chen Xiaolian laughed when she heard this, and suddenly reached out and patted Qiaoqiao's buttocks lightly, the girl snorted in disgust, raised her head, and glared at Chen Xiaolian with a red face.
Chen Xiaolian took Qiao Qiao's hand, and the two walked away more than ten steps together, standing in a place where there were few people, and staring carefully at the wailing wall.
"Come on, great writer, teach me a lesson, do you know the origin of this wailing wall?"
Chen Xiaolian thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Don't say it, I've really read some records." ”
After pondering for a while, Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "Let's put it this way, a long, long time ago, before the thirteenth BC, when the Jews were enslaved in Egypt.
So there was a man of God, the prophet Moses, who was a Jew who had been adopted as a son by the king of Egypt, and who sympathized with the enslavement of the Jews, so he fled Egypt with the Jews.
Well, one of the most famous legends is that Moses and his Jewish people fled Egypt to the shore of the Red Sea, followed by Egyptian pursuers.
At this time, Moses asked God to perform a miracle, and the waters of the Red Sea parted automatically, allowing the Jews to walk all the way across the sea under the leadership of Moses.
The Egyptian army, which pursued them, also went to the sea, but all of them were buried in the sea. ”
Jojo's eyes lit up: "I know this story, Disney has a cartoon called "The Prince of Egypt". That theme song is very good, it was sung by Mary Carey and Whitney Houston!"
Chen Xiaolian smiled at you, touched her hair, and said with a smile: "That's right." ”
After a pause, Chen Xiaolian continued: "After escaping from Egypt, the Jews have been living in this place, forming many Jewish tribes.
About a hundred or two hundred years after the Exodus, in the eleventh century B.C., a great Jewish leader united the various tribes of Judea and established a Jewish kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel, whose capital is where we now stand, Jerusalem.
This great Jewish king was called King David.
King David, as the founding monarch of the ancient kingdom of Israel, was certainly a legendary man.
And fortunately, he had an even better son who succeeded him on the throne, and his son was the famous King Solomon.
During the reign of King Solomon, a temple was built in Jerusalem, and this temple was called Solomon's Temple. This temple was built where we stand now. Since that time, this place has become a religious shrine for all Jews. ”
Jojo nodded: "And then?"
And then ...... It's just unfortunate. Chen Xiaolian sighed: "Anyway...... Broadly speaking, King Solomon's reign was the most prosperous time for the kingdom of Israel, but legend has it that King Solomon turned his back on God and the kingdom was divided. It became the two kingdoms of the north and the south.
The kingdom of Judea went from prosperity to decline.
After that, more than 2,000 years of turmoil. ”
As he spoke, Chen Xiaolian pointed to the wailing wall in the distance and said in a low voice: "The temple built by King Solomon was later burned down by invading foreign enemies in a war, but later the Jews rebuilt a second temple in the original location of this place...... Unfortunately, the second temple was still burned down in the war.
Unfortunately, this time, it was never rebuilt.
The Wailing Wall we see now is the remnant of the second rebuilt temple. ”
Qiao Qiao stared at it for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "In other words, here...... Is it the ruins of Solomon's Temple?"
"So to speak. Chen Xiaolian sighed, his tone slightly complicated.
Qiaoqiao's face also became serious: "Little face, I remember you told me that your first copy was in that desert island dungeon...... The last quest boss you encounter is the demon of King Solomon's time?"
Chen Xiaolian didn't speak, looking at the wailing wall in the sun, his expression was serious.
After a minute, he suddenly smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "I don't think this mission should be some kind of demon of King Solomon in Solomon's Temple." The quest hint makes it clear that the difficulty is only B-level, and you can also use thermal weapons. I think...... We weren't that lucky. ”
Qiao Qiao also sighed: "B-level dungeon, there shouldn't be such a difficult background." I hope so. ”
"Well, I think there's something else to think about. Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Legend has it that the temple built by King Solomon stored many holy relics of Judaism. One of the most famous things is the Ark of the Covenant. ”
"The Ark of the Covenant?"
"Well, the Ark of the Covenant. ”
......
"A wooden chest with some golden statues in it, but the most important thing is the Ten Commandments. These are two tablets of stone, a code contract given by God to the Jews to keep the Ten Commandments above. ”
At the hotel, Tianlie, who was sitting on a sofa basking in the sun, held a tourist attraction booklet with a list of various ancient legends about Jerusalem.
He tossed the booklet to Nicole, who was drinking coffee, and said with a smile: "I think this thing is very interesting, maybe this mission is for us to find it?"
Nicole glanced at Tianlie: "A B-grade dungeon, it won't be so big." The Ark of the Covenant has been gone for more than 2,000 years. It disappeared when Solomon's temple burned down. ”
"I hope it's not looking for it. ”
