Part 5 Pirate Legend 27, Paradise Lost
Speaking of the child's agreement to go to the New World, Shen Mao couldn't help but scold Jingming, and deduced a story of "heroes save beauty......
Everyone can hear that he once coveted Zhizi, but as the eldest daughter of the shogun's family, she did not have any good feelings for Shen Mao. [Full text reading. 】
Zhu Hui couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Shen, since you want to go to the New World to join your brother, why did you change course halfway?" ”
"This, this ......" Shen Mao hesitated for a long time, but still attributed this matter to meeting Lin Feng.
"Hehe, young man, if you don't change your course, maybe you won't be able to meet Lin Feng at all, right?" Zhang Gouer also thinks that there must be something strange in it.
Sakura, who was sleeping in Han Xiaoyu's arms, suddenly woke up and let out a hissing howl like a lung-splitting cry, which frightened Shen Mao to tremble, and hurriedly replied: "It wasn't my idea to go south to hunt for treasures, and now I suspect that it is, it ......."
"Who is it? Could it be Sakurako? "Whether it's the experience that Childeko or Sakurako told through the mouth of Ma San, Zhu Hui thinks they are not telling the truth.
Shen Mao replied, "It is very likely that we set off from Sakai Town, and it was always the childish princess who was holding Sakura in her arms who was directing the route, and the reason why we were able to rescue Lord Lin Daao was actually the credit of Sakurako!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Han Xiaoyu said, quietly removed the "jade ring" on the kitten's left front leg, she immediately stopped barking, lay in Han Xiaoyu's arms and continued to sleep.
When the so-called "jade ring" was placed in front of everyone, it was found that it was just a wrench worn on the thumb, which was a little dark, and there were spots on it, and it didn't seem to be a "good jade".
Faced with the ring that King Solomon gave to the Queen of Sheba, everyone was full of curiosity and picked it up to take a look, and at this time, Nelson and Erikson, who had heard the legend of "Solomon's Treasure" and the "Golden Ark of the Covenant", also came running.
"Honorable Gatekeeper of the Temple of Light, this is a ring given by God to the king, only you can wear it, please hurry up and put it on." Erikson said, and knelt down for Zhu Hui according to the rules of the Orientals.
"That's right! Brother, you are the protector of the merchant group, and you must wear this king's ring. Zhang Gou'er also echoed.
At this moment, Han Xiaoyu looked very excited, grabbed Zhu Hui's left hand, and put this wrench on his thumb.
Zhu Hui hurriedly reached out to take it down, but suddenly felt that his body was fluttering, and he closed his eyes involuntarily, but found that he had risen into the air and rose to the clouds,......
None of his companions were gone, and he came to a misty world, full of plants that he could not name, and not far away there was a snow-capped mountain, and then he suddenly felt a little cold, so he went down the mountain.
Although he was as light as a swallow, he did not go down the mountain very smoothly, first of all, he found that there was no road, so he had to break through the thorns and thorns, sometimes he would startle a flock of birds, sometimes he would encounter fierce beasts galloping, but he would not attack himself, just like that, he ran halfway up the mountain in one breath, and the sea of clouds was still churning under his feet......
He couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality, so he shouted loudly down the mountain, and there were echoes, but no one responded.
So he looked at the wrench in his hand and tried to remove it immediately, but it seemed to merge with his thumb, and he was so anxious that he closed his eyes in despair.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to continue descending the mountain, and he did not know how long he had walked, and finally reached the sea of clouds, the sun had turned west, and he put his hand on the pergola to look down, and found that the horse and the river under the mountain seemed to be like a flowery garden, and four large rivers that were not too far apart flowed eastward and merged into the endless sea.
The sun was about to set, and the snow-capped mountain in the distance reminded him of what Xu Yihou's old uncle said. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", in which the "Great Wilderness of the West" has this description: Beyond the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the Great Wilderness, there are mountains but not together, and the name is not good.
"Could it be that I came to Buzhou Mountain during the flood period?" Zhu Hui couldn't believe it, staring at the wrench in his hand in a daze......
He did not dare to go any further, but the gust of mountain wind blew him, and he felt a little tired, so he sat down under a big tree full of flowers......
After a while, he heard a rustling sound, so he hurriedly opened his eyes, turned to look, and saw a figure dressed in black coming down from the mountain, so he hurriedly lay on the ground.
When the black shadow walked away, Zhu Hui quietly followed behind him, running as light as a swallow, and did not make any sound, and of course did not attract the attention of the man in black. By nighttime, they had all reached the foot of the mountain, and suddenly, the man in black was gone.
Just as Zhu Hui was looking around, he suddenly found that there was a stout snake in front of him, and even gave birth to long wings, with a swarthy head held high, and green light in its eyes, and actually flew into this fragrant garden......
I don't know how far I went, Zhu Hui found a girl with long hair and a shawl in front of him, **** body was working, as if he was making jam from the fruit he had picked, seeing this, he immediately turned around and closed his eyes.
Because of the silence all around, after a while a voice came: "Eve, can you eat all these fruits?" ”
"No, God has commanded us that we may eat freely from every tree in the garden, but we may not taste some of them." Eve replied.
"Why? Did your God really say that you should not eat of all the trees in the garden?! ”
At this time, Zhu Hui knew that it was a voice from a snake.
"Yes, we must divide it clearly, and the fruit of the tree of good and evil cannot be eaten, for after eating it you will die." Eve said, giggling.
The snake flapped its wings, its body rose higher and higher, and its coiled body became a semicircle, shaking its head as if to ask questions......
Pointing to a large tree beside her, Eve said earnestly: "Adam and I have indeed received God's instruction that we should eat from the tree in the garden, but only from that tree, and God said, 'You must not eat or touch it, lest you die.'" ’”
The serpent laughed wildly and replied, "Your master is lying to you, and if you eat the fruit of this tree, you will not necessarily die, for you know that when you eat it, your eyes will be brightened, and you will know what good and evil are like your master." ”
The garden was sprinkled with gold, pearls, and red agate, and full of all kinds of strange flowers, and she lived with her companion Adam, leisurely and happy, performing the work assigned by God, or toiling hard, or lying down, tasting the sweet fruit every day, walking in the garden, and naming all kinds of animals and plants: whether it was the beast on the earth, the birds of the sky, or the tree in the garden; Flowers in the field......
The fruit of the tree of good and evil is so fresh and clean, pleasing to the eye, and lovely, that after eating it, she can have wisdom like her master, Eve hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but pluck one, put it under her nostrils and smelled it, a fresh fragrance refreshed people's hearts, and her pure and innocent heart, she forgot the Lord's admonition cleanly, and finally took the first bite.
The fruit of the tree of good and evil was so delicious that it was better than anything she had ever eaten, so she cried out to Adam for him to share with him.
It did seem to be extremely delicious, and they quickly became addicted to it, looked at each other, became very shy, and unconsciously covered it with leaves.
When they were full, the two hugged each other tightly and lay down on the soft grass......
After some Wushan**, a cold snap suddenly blew in the sky, making Zhu Hui shiver, and then looking at Adam and Eve, they also lit a bonfire and began to weave clothes from fig leaves......
Suddenly, a voice came from the sky: "Adam, what are you doing?" Eve, where are you? ”
By this time Adam and Eve had put on their husks, heard the call of God, and both of them were red-faced, and they did not dare to breathe, and out of guilt they began to run through the woods, trying to hide from their master.
"Adam and Eve, fear me, for you are made and should not have any gap with me."
The more God said this, the more guilty Adam became, and he replied, "Lord, because Eve and I, who are usually naked, are afraid to hear your voice." ”
"Have you eaten of the tree of good and evil?"
"yes, the woman whom thou hast given me to dwell with me, give me the fruit of the tree, and I will eat it."
"Eve, what have you done?" God became very angry.
Eve said, "A serpent came and tempted me, and I ate it." ”
While Adam and Eve were hiding, the sky began to darken, and the earth was divided into the Y yang, which seemed to be going to get dark soon......
"The transgression of man is irreparable, and since you have wisdom, you should bear the responsibility commensurate with it." For this, God began to chastise the culprits: "Cursed is you, you abominable devil, who have done this, above all the beasts, and you will walk on your belly, and you will eat the dirt all your days." And I will set you and Eve against each other, and your seed against one another, and your seed against her. Her seed will bruise your head, and your seed will bruise his heel. ”
So the serpent lost its wings and became a long, crooked worm, so that it could only crawl on its belly, burrow into the dirt, and could no longer take on the form of a man.
Then God will punish the woman who was the first to fall: "I will multiply the pain of your childbearing, and you will suffer much in giving birth to a child." Thou shalt desire thy husband, and thy husband shall rule over thee. ”
Finally, God preached to Adam: "You have obeyed the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat. Cursed is the land because of you, and you must labor all your days to get food out of it. and the earth shall bring forth thorns and thistles for thee. and thou shalt eat the herbs that grow from the field, and thou shalt sweat so that thou shalt eat until thou shalt return to the earth. For thou hast been created out of the ground, and thou art dust, and thou shalt return to dust. ”
As a result, God expelled Adam and Eve from this paradise......
