37. The gods are wrathed

Two meteorites fell from the sky, one hit the Roman market, and the other hit the temple of Jupiter.

Because Jupiter is the king of the gods equivalent to Zeus in Greek mythology in Roman mythology, and the boulder falling from the sky just hit the temple of the king of the gods, it means that the gods have been angry that they don't know what is going on, and they want to destroy Rome with their own hands. Such remarks made the people of the whole city feel panic and uneasy, and some people with money already had the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing.

In front of the ruined temple of Jupiter, it has been tightly surrounded by thousands of guards, and the people can only watch and discuss this "ominous stone" from a distance.

I saw that the guards made a way, and Li Xiang walked out of it.

As soon as the people saw the "divine envoy" Li Xiang, they immediately all hugged him, and you asked different questions one by one.

"O oracle! Where have we sinned against God? ”

"Why did God drop a boulder from the sky and hit his own temple?"

"Is God going to destroy Rome?"

"O oracle! Help us to intercede with God. Didn't he send you to help us? He will definitely listen to your words. ”

And so on and so forth, Li Xiang asked one head and two big, I really don't know how to answer them one by one.

An old man dressed in rich clothes said to the crowd: "Since the divine envoy does not answer any of the questions we ask, it is tantamount to acquiescing in God's intention to destroy the city, what are you waiting for, hurry up and go back and pack some valuable things, and run for your life!" As he spoke, he took his grandson's hand and walked away quickly.

As soon as everyone heard this, why don't they hurry up and "flash"! As far as you go, you can "flash" as far away.

Before Li Xiang could speak, there were already a few people left in front of the temple.

Li Xiang had to admire the extraordinary courage of the remaining people.

In fact, those people are not really afraid of death, but some of them are deaf at all because of hearing problems, and they can't hear anything, so they are naturally "not upset, then they are not upset"; Some of them are because they really cherish their ears too much, and they have not taken out earwax for decades, and the ear canal has been seriously blocked by earwax, and they have reached the realm of "not hearing anything outside the window".

Someone exclaimed, "Eh! Look! It looks like a crowd of people are coming here. "Pointing not far away.

Li Xiang looked around and saw a lot of people walking here, and when he looked closely, he saw that those people were all wearing white robes.

Not long after, the senators, led by Octavian, gathered in front of the temple.

Octavian hurriedly said to Li Xiang: "Li Xiang! I'm finally seeing you, and I'm really worried that you'll leave at this time. ”

"I promised you that I would not leave Rome unless you told me to leave."

Octavian was very moved when he heard this, and patted Li Xiang's arm with his hand.

Li Xiang said: "The patriarchs are all here? ”

Octavian said: "I was holding a special meeting with the senators, and we heard two loud noises in quick succession, and even the foundations shook violently, and then the guards came in to report that a huge stone had fallen from heaven and had struck the temple of Jupiter and the great market, and the senators were all shocked and frightened, and there was already a rumor among the people that the gods were angry and were about to destroy the city, so I and the senators all came to take a look." ”

Patriarch Pallas said, "Li Xiang! You are a divine envoy, is the news of the destruction of the city by the gods true? My life, my fortune and my fortune are in the city of Rome! ”

Patriarch Kasens said, "You can't hide the truth! If the gods really want to destroy the city, let's leave as soon as possible! ”

Elder Uskine said, "What is it that causes the wrath of the gods? ”

Tiberius said, "Yes! What is the heinous thing that makes it so serious to destroy the city? ”

Octavian shouted to the senators: "All right! Everyone, don't ask long and short questions, even if the gods really want to destroy the city, then there is nothing to complain about, in a word, 'the will of God is unpredictable'! ”

Li Xiang said: "Augustus is right, 'God's will is unpredictable', since it is 'God's will', God will naturally explain. ”

Tiberius said, "Only the dead can hear God's explanation." ”

Patriarch Pallas said, "But we are alive and well now, and we don't want to die yet!" ”

Patriarch Rechius said, "God will take our lives, at least say hello to us!" ”

Elder Kasens said, "Yes! Even if you die, you have to die to understand! What are we doing wrong? ”

Uskine said, "A boulder falling from the sky may give us the answer we want!" ”

Octavian said, "Eh! Li Xiang! Will there be any clues on the boulder? ”

Li Xiang said: "It's not impossible. ”

Octavian and the elders prepared to walk towards the boulder.

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Everyone wait a minute, the boulder is doing 'cold treatment'." ”

Octavian said: "What does 'cold treatment' mean? ”

Li Xiang explained: "The 'boulder' falls from the sky, and the friction with the air produces high temperatures, and it needs to be cooled down to get close, otherwise it will be burned. ”

Tiberius said, "Then when will we approach the boulder?" ”

Li Xiang replied: "Don't worry! Soon, soon, I've ordered someone to pour cold water on the boulder to cool down quickly, everyone be patient and wait! ”

After a while.

Tiberius looked impatient and said, "Why is it not well! Wait any longer, I don't know how many boulders will fall from the sky, no, I won't wait, I'll go and see what is going on now. "I insisted on breaking in.

Li Xiang immediately stopped Tiberius and said, "You are a noble body, if you are really burned, who can bear this responsibility!" ”

Tiberius said, "I am a bull-tempered man, and if you don't let me go, I want to go and see what is going on." As soon as he pulled away, Li Xiang rushed in.

The guards did not give way to Tiberius.

Tiberius was angry and said, "Don't you all want to live? Dare to stand in my way. As he spoke, he kicked one of the guards in the abdomen.

The guard took a few steps back, gritted his teeth, said nothing, and walked back to his original position, still not giving way.

Tiberius was annoyed: "I met a man who is not afraid of death." "Get ready to punch.

Octavian said angrily: "Hugh is presumptuous. ”

Tiberius then withdrew his fist.

Octavian said: "They were trained by the Cuman brothers, and they did not pay attention to anyone else except the orders of the two brothers." ”

General Max said: "A truly good soldier should be like this, 'obey orders and not recognize people.'" ”

At this point, the guards made a way.

Auman came out of it.

Li Xiang said to Aoman, "Is it all done?" ”

Orman nodded and said, "It's all done." ”

Li Xiang said to the elder: "There is no danger now, everyone, please!" ”

Octavian and the elders walked towards the ruined temple.
