Chapter 183: Cain and Lycaon
Ji Tianci and Lu Manwen were speechless in shock when they heard this name, this is the name that Prophet Aixin Jueluo Kehuang told Ji Tianci, why did the prophet of the Dark Council also say this name.
"Uncle knows who Yuwen Zhi is?" Ji Tianci hurriedly asked.
Ruan nodded, "He's the prophet of the Dark Council. ”
"Ah, how is this possible? Yuwen's surname originated from the Jiuyou Wei and Jin dynasties, and he is a descendant of the Shennong clan, how could he become the prophet of the Dark Council?"
"Because he was the master of Cain and Lycaon. ”
"You're saying that Yuwen Zhi is the master of vampires and werewolves?"
"Yes. ”
Ruan sighed and continued, "Over the years, I have been in private contact with the Dark Council, and the more I learned about the Transcendent Realm, the more I suspected that the Dark Council was the 'bad guy'. It was only after the messenger of Bronsis told me some stories that I realized that there are no absolute good and bad people in this world, not even God.
Do you know the story of Cain and Lycaon?"
Ji Tianci nodded, "Cain is a character in the Bible, and Lycaon is a character in Greek mythology. ”
After speaking, Ji Tianci suddenly realized that these two characters were not the villains of the Holy Sect and the Temple of the Gods?
Ji Tianci can still clearly remember the original description of Cain in the Bible.
[And it came to pass on one day that Adam had intercourse with his wife Eve, and Eve conceived and gave birth to Cain, saying, "The Lord hath given me a man. ”
Cain is also known as the "third man in the world". Later, Eve gave birth to Cain's brother Abel.
Abel was a shepherd, and Cain was a farmer.
One day Cain offered the Lord vegetables and grain from the field, and Abel offered the head of his flock and the fat of the sheep as an offering. The LORD took a good look at Abel and his offering, but not Cain and his offering.
And Cain was exceedingly angry, and his face changed.
The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why are you changed? If you do well, will you not be acceptable to God? If you do not do well, sin will fall at the door." It will desire you, but you will subdue it. ”
Then one day, Cain and his brother Abel were having a conversation in the field, and when they had an argument, Cain killed Abel.
Later, Jehovah asked Cain: "Where is your brother Abel?"
Cain said, "I don't know, am I my brother's keeper?"
And Jehovah said, What have thou done, and thy brother's blood cries out unto me through the earth. And the earth said unto me, He hath taken thy brother's blood out of thy hand. Now you must be cursed by the earth, you plant, the earth will no longer work for you, you must drift on the earth. ”
Cain said to Jehovah: "My punishment is too heavy for me to bear, and you drive me out of here and wander in the land, and when they see me, they will kill me." ”
Jehovah said to him: "Whoever kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold." ”
And the LORD set a mark for Cain, lest anyone should kill him if he came across him. So Cain left the LORD, and did not see the LORD again, and went to dwell in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 】
Ji Tianci pondered for a while, and Lu Ankan continued, "You don't want to know why Cain and Lycaon met Yuwenzhi. In fact, the Bible states that Cain later lived in "the land of NOD" east of Eden, and the "NOD" in the original text "the land of NOD" is not a place name, but the Hebrew word for "wandering." Cain was banished to the east of Europe, and eventually came to the Nine Shadows, where he met Yuwenzhi.
Consider again the description of Jehovah in Cain's story. How could a caring God like Abel's offerings because he liked Abel's offerings, and if Abel offered meat and Cain offered vegetarian food, how could a caring God like Abel's offerings?
The people of the Dark Council told me that Cain thought that God could not bear to kill, so he planted the land and offered food, but he did not want him to see the wrong God, so he was angry, and then because his brother laughed at him, the two had a dispute, and Cain became a 'murderer', so he was cursed and banished.
But in the beginning, Cain was a man who loved life. ”
Ji Tianci was surprised and then asked, "Then the Lord and Cain are also on earth?"
"No, according to legend, they all 'soared'. ”
Ji Tianci pondered, the so-called "ascension" should not be the ascension to the heavenly realm, right?
"The same is true of Lycaon, banished, and then to the Nine Shadows?"
Ruan nodded again, "Yes, he was punished by God for being too smart and arrogant. In Greek mythology, the gods believed that the first people had committed many sins, and they blasphemed the gods, most notably Lycaon, the king of the kingdom of Lycasula in Arcadia, in the central Peloponnese.
Once, when Zeus came to the country, all the people of the country bowed down to him, but only King Lycaon not only did not bow down, but also mocked those who knelt. In order to tempt the gods, he killed a man and offered his flesh to Zeus to eat, and the enraged Zeus destroyed his royal palace with thunder and lightning, turning him into a bloodthirsty wolf.
Lu Ka Weng was later expelled by the people, he was a wolf, so he did not return to human form, during the day he hid, evaded the pursuit of people, and hurried to the east at night, and finally came to Jiuyou, and met Yu Wenzhi.
It is said that it was only when Lycaon ascended that he became a human again.
None of the Greek gods in the temple of gods have a good reputation, and even their myths are full of greed,*, war...... Fortunately, the gods of the Norse god system of the Temple of the Gods are considered to be righteous, otherwise this transcendent organization may be even worse than the reputation of the Dark Council. ”
After listening to so much, Ji Tianci became more and more curious about Yuwen Zhi, "So, Yu Wen Zhi is a strong man in the Nine Shadows?
Lu An shook his head, "Not exactly, it's much more complicated. The story of the vampire and the werewolf was told before the Middle Ages, when both Cain and Lycaon found the unusually powerful Yuwen Zhi, who taught them to master the dark powers.
Both of them fell under the curse of the gods, but Yuwen Zhi asked them to turn this curse into their own power. In the eyes of outsiders, they are all monsters, one sucks blood for a living, and the other has the appearance of a wolf, but Yuwen Zhi treats them as the best students.
The Dark Council doesn't know much about Yuwen Zhi, but the transcendent organization of the Nine Shadows knows a little more. ”
"Huh? Why is that?"
"I also studied for a long time in Jiuyou to learn a little bit about the story of Yuwen Zhi, according to legend, Yuwen Zhi is a person who admires power, and he was once a candidate for the second generation of the prophet of Jiuyou.
The first generation of prophet Jiang Kehuang has always cultivated Yuwen Zhi as a second generation of prophets, but Yu Wen Zhi can give everything for power. He often said to Jiang Kehuang that the end will eventually come, and people must be strong. He himself has created many demonic and demonic methods that can improve people's abilities in a short period of time, but these exercises are despised by Jiang Kehuang. ”
Hearing this, Ji Tianci couldn't help but say, "The so-called evil demon method is just a form of exercises, it may be imperfect, there are side works, but if no one innovates, there will be no progress." ”
Ji Tianci thought that Pangu also left a will before he died, so that the clansmen could study the cultivation method of the earth soul, maybe Yu Wenzhi's 'evil demon method' was the practice of cultivating the earth soul, but the world didn't understand him.
