Chapter 87: The Bible
"What do you mean?" Zheng Fei faintly felt that the pious priest in front of him was trying to save himself.
"God said to me that He would save everyone who shouldn't go to heaven. With that, the priest took a few steps forward and whispered, "Do you know what I want to believe in you?"
"You said at the beginning, because you are a priest, I don't have to lie to you. ”
"Nope. The priest shook his finger, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Because, a few years ago, I was also a royal sacrifice, but I relied on my own little cleverness to hide, and changed my appearance to become a respected priest." ”
"You"
Zheng Fei seemed to see the light in the dark, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, forgetting that he was still tied, which made the chair creak and alarm the soldiers guarding outside.
The priest coughed hurriedly and said loudly in an admiring tone: "When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was chaotic and had not yet taken shape, darkness shrouded the abyss, and the Spirit of God moved on the waters. God said that there should be light, and when He had finished, there was light. God saw that light was good, and he separated light from darkness."
Reading the original Bible, hearing this, the soldiers shrugged their shoulders and stopped being suspicious and continued to chat.
In the understanding of believers, it is taboo to interrupt the prayers of priests.
After reading a few long paragraphs, the priest stopped, looked into Zheng Fei's eyes, and said in a low voice: "I want to save you, from now on, listen to me." ”
Zheng Fei nodded seriously.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the soldiers, the priest read a few more passages of the Bible, then paused and continued: "There are twenty soldiers armed with muskets outside, and even if I help you loosen your bonds, you will not be able to escape, and there is only one way to survive, and to escape from prison." ”
"I know, but yesterday the prison just transferred an elite army plus eight artillery pieces, and trying to commit violence is tantamount to death. ”
"Can't you try something else? Say, authentic. At this, the priest smiled slyly, and his long beard cocked a little triumphantly.
"But I don't know where the entrance to the tunnel is, I'm looking for it. ”
The priest opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the soldiers, perhaps noticing that there had been no movement for a long time, shouted, "Father, is the prayer over?"
"Not yet, soon!"
"Why is it so slow, the prisoner should go back, I'm going in!" As soon as the words fell, the rude soldier pushed the door open.
The priest took a step back, saw the soldiers escorting Zheng Fei out, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else, Father, that the chief didn't give you the honorarium?"
"No, please don't insult my profession. The priest said coldly, stepped forward with the Bible in his hand, and said to Zheng Fei meaningfully: "This Bible is given to you, for God's sake, you must take a serious look at it, especially the last page, you will have a harvest." ”
Zheng Fei immediately read what he meant, took the Bible and bowed, "Thank you, Father!"
"Nothing, God is with you. ”
After saying that, the priest watched him being escorted away by the scolding soldiers, and his eyes were ethereal, and he muttered, "Will you become a madman? Perhaps, there is a madman in everyone's heart." ”
The madman who disappeared from prison a few years ago was him.
Holding the Bible back to the cell, Zheng Fei didn't want to wait for a moment, and turned it to the last page.
Strangely, there is nothing out of the ordinary, only the scriptures are written, and if I have to say anything different, it is that the page is thicker.
He frowned, pinched the page, as if two sheets were glued together, he sipped the edge with his mouth, and after wetting, he tore it little by little, only to see that there was a thin piece of rice paper as thin as a cicada's wing, translucent, and the special material was very flexible.
The problem is that it's just a piece of paper with nothing written on it, and I tried to smear some water on it, but there are no words.
Thinking about the last words of the priest, he decided to look for them in the book.
Unsurprisingly, there is a note on each page, in English, which is not necessarily understood by a few people in all of Portugal.
Zheng Fei recorded these words in turn, and finally connected them: bring this transparent piece of paper to the ground. Walk around the millstone and you'll find magical things.
It seemed that he could only wait for the wind to blow tomorrow, he thought, and took the Bible in his arms, and looked out the small window, it was about noon, and the prisoners in the open space were sweating and working, moving wood, stones, and all kinds of things, including cannonballs.
He was alone in prison because he had just received prayer and had a good meal at noon.
In a few minutes, the old man appeared in the aisle with two large baskets, and came to his door with joy and worry.
"Big meal. The old man said, taking out the delicacies with their tantalizing aromas.
"Wow, sea crabs, shrimp, steak, pork legs, roast chicken" Zheng Fei laughed and swallowed his saliva, he hadn't enjoyed something good for a long time.
"If I were you, you wouldn't have much of an appetite, and eating a big meal would mean you'd have to leave this world in a few days. ”
"Heh, I'm not going to die lightly, will I give the things to Hans?"
"Well, he reassures you and gets to work right away. ”
"That's good. Zheng Fei nibbled on the fragrant chicken leg and said with a smile.
