5 - Lucifer

The chief asked the butler to hand us clothes, all local clothes, and it seemed that he was well prepared, and I was still thinking that we would be seen in the headlines by driving home naked like this. The chief took Paul's hand to express his gratitude, and we learned to keep Erica with his hands together to express his gratitude. Paul's expression was stern, and he took off his suit as well, and also stripped naked, and threw all his clothes into the fire.

I noticed that Paul had a giant white python pierced in his chest, sticking out his tongue and looking at us, and I suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in my heart.

Paul changed into another suit, said hello to the chief and got into his own car and left, a Land Rover off-road. The chief invited us to his house for dinner, and when we arrived at the chief's house, we found that two white plaster statues of the gods had been placed in their courtyard, one was the god Yashua and the other was the Virgin Mary. Erica led us to stand in front of the idol and drew two crosses on our chests, and then shouted "Hallelujah!" Alleluia! ”

After such an experience, the three of us were already in awe of this indescribable local custom, especially Wei Ergou, who was different from usual, and now quietly like an obedient child.

Erica led us into the hall and sat down, and the nanny brought us a large plate one by one, which was covered with a plastic lid.

"Let's start eating, my dad said that we should not eat meat for a week after the curse contact, and that we should keep it vegetarian as a sign of respect for the devil and gratitude to God.

During the meal, Erika gave us the story of the Western Bible, in which God said that Satan, because of his refusal to surrender to His Son Christ Jesus, led one-third of the angels of the heavens to raise the flag against him in the northern part of the heavenly realm. After three days of fierce fighting in the heavenly realm, Satan's rebels were routed by Christ and fell in the chaos for nine dawns before falling to hell. After that, God created the new heaven and earth, and Satan, in order to take revenge and take the new world, turned into a serpent and infiltrated the Garden of Eden, seduced Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge, and then used her to seduce Adam to also commit the sin of disobeying the divine command. So Satan did so to bring down God's new creation, and opened the door to a new world for the demon gods, and since then sin, sickness, and death have finally spread all over the earth. Satan turned out to be the first guardian angel of God's creation, and because he was jealous of his twin brother Mikal becoming an archangel, he was jealous of God, and at the same time was dissatisfied with God's request to obey the will of a human Jesus. When Satan was in heaven, he was also called Lucifer, the messenger of fire, and God created it with fire. Even the Qur'an also records the story of Lucifer's fallen angels. Lucifer's sin is also one of the seven deadly sins of arrogance, which is explained in Dante's Divine Comedy as follows: not being able to face one's proper place in relation to God and his followers; Excessive love for oneself degenerates into hatred and contempt for those around him.

I twisted the literal translation of this passage to Wei Yiyun and Wei Ergou, and Wei Yiyun said directly: "Isn't this Ah Feng, it's awesome, it's terrible!" ”

"That's right, that kid is the same as the Satan Lucifer that the little student Erica said, we can still hide and hide against this kind of person, this kid is also rough, it's better to deal with him less!" Wei Ergou also said.

Erica asked me what the two of them were talking about, and I explained to him that we were talking about a Chinese, like Lucifer he said, who was also arrogant and specialized in deceiving people.

"By the way, Erriga, that Paul was a shaman at a young age!" I was suddenly curious about Paul.

"I heard my dad say that when we were originally called the Mali Empire in Ghana, Paul's family has been a shamanic clan of the empire for more than 800 years from about the 13th century to the present. Now in Ghana, there seem to be less than ten shamans. Eriga replied to me, and called the nanny to clean up the dishes and pour us tea.

"Shamans are so powerful! Why is it getting less and less? I asked Erica about it, and the two smokers, Ergou and Yiyun, went to smoke under the tree in the courtyard outside the hall.

"The gods created zĂ o things pay attention to balance, endow shamans with unpredictable prophets and many witchcraft, and at the same time deprive many normal people of life and lifespan! I attended the funeral of Paul's father last year, and he was only thirty-nine years old when he died, and several of Paul's older siblings had died, leaving Paul and his sister who were nuns in the convent of the capital. And Paul has no friends since he was a child, who dares to get close to the shaman? We can't understand his pain! "Erijia said this, I heard the strange taste, maybe Erijia said is also a philosophy, born in a special family may not be happy, just like many ancient princes sighed "I wish to be born in the family of ordinary people", the surface of the scenery must be behind the unspeakable pain, the external success hides unknown troubles! So sometimes it's rare to be an ordinary person may be a gift from God, and you don't have to envy the local tyrants, they may not be happier than us!

After the meal we said goodbye to Erica, and then we arranged for Donai to rent a truck to haul ten sheep, and the day after tomorrow we drove the truck together to the place where the white python was, and completed the final atonement ceremony that Paul said.

Saying goodbye to Erijia and getting in the car back to the Fortune Hotel, Wei Ergou sat in the back seat and suddenly laughed, and I looked back at him inexplicably. Wei Ergou opened his mouth and said, "I told you, this time we are going to make a fortune, do you remember the last time Xiaosheng, the gold nugget you dug up!" Look, there's more than a gram of this one. ”

"Didn't you say it's not gold?" I looked at Wei Ergou curiously and asked.

"Xiaosheng, you are stupid, there are so many black people, can I say that it is gold, I can't let them know that it is a bonanza, I can only say that the gold content is not high, you kid just entered the society and don't understand this aspect, you will understand it in the future!" Wei Ergou handed me the gold and said, "Here, you dug up this gold nugget, keep it for yourself as a souvenir!" ”

"I see, but is the gray layer of soil I dug in your pit also gold?" I listened to Wei Ergou's words and felt a little unhappy, but I couldn't tell what he was wrong, maybe what he said was social experience.

"You kid is really golden! The first time I dug up such a large gold grain, I have never seen such a big gold grain in Ghana, only in Mohe. The second time you dig is the gold layer, gold and sand and other metal mixture impurities, and according to the depth of the digging is only a little more than one meter, the other four pits are also the case, indicating that the average depth of the gold layer in the mining site is more than one meter, the cost of our gold digging is much smaller, the content is okay, we are going to make a fortune this time! ”

"I see, today we are all going to have a big meal, you have fainted for a day and a night, but fortunately you woke up, otherwise Xiaosheng and I don't know what to do! Now that we've found gold again, we're going to celebrate. Wei Yiyun drove and laughed heartily.
