When Moses heard Yang Rui's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "My master, even my fellow Israelites will no longer listen to me, how do you tell Pharaoh, the most powerful man in the world, to obey me?" ”

Yang Rui said calmly: "You are now doing things on my behalf in the world, and I will definitely support you in everything you do." Whatever I command you, you will say. Do what you are told to do. Go and tell Pharaoh, and say that you will bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. Then Pharaoh will not allow you to leave, I will make Pharaoh pay the price for his greed and [***], there will be countless miracles in the land of Egypt, so that everyone will know that God exists, and I will punish Egypt severely. ”

While Moses was still hesitating, Yang Rui continued, "Go, my child." As long as you have me in your heart, I will help you. You don't need to be afraid, I'm with you, and no one can hurt you. ”

Moses said goodbye to Yang Rui and returned to Memphis, and under the angry eyes of the Israelites, he walked silently with his head bowed and walked silently to the majestic palace of the pharaohs.

This time, Pharaoh still received a depressed Moses. He smiled at the very unconfident Israeli in front of him and asked, "Moses, what do you want to tell me this time?" ”

Moses was silent for a long time and said, "I hope you will grant my request to take the Israelites out of Egypt and into their new homeland." ”

A look of contempt appeared at the corner of Pharaoh's mouth and said, "Moses, there is a limit to my mercy. If you make any more of these rude demands, I will not spare you and the Israelites, and you will be put to death, and the Israelites will be punished even more. ”

Moses raised his head, looked at Pharaoh on high above, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Great Pharaoh, I hope you will give great consideration to my request, this land belongs to Egypt, not the homeland of the Israelites, we need a homeland of our own, this is a most common request, I hope you will agree." ”

Pharaoh stood up and raised his voice and asked, "Moses, what right do you have to bargain with me?" Is it that you Israelites have more wealth than Egypt, or that your army is stronger than Egypt? ”

Moses shook his head and said, "None of these can be compared with Egypt." ”

"And what qualifications do you have to make these requests?" The Pharaoh let out a sneer.

Moses said calmly, "Because God is with us, God promised my ancestors, and He chose me to do something for the Israelites, then I must fulfill my mission." ”

"God?" Pharaoh snorted and said, "Where is he?" If you can prove the existence of God, I may spare you and the Israelites. ”

Moses was silent again, he didn't know how to prove God's existence, but he could feel a powerful force supporting him.

After a long time, he threw the cane in his hand to the ground, and the cane turned away into a menacing viper, which frightened the maids in the palace into a burst of surprise and dodged, while the guards stood in front of the Pharaoh, holding weapons to prevent the snake from harming the Pharaoh behind him.

Moses bent down, grabbed the serpent by the tail and lifted him up, and the serpent returned to the form of a cane, and Moses said, "Doesn't that prove the existence of God?" ”

The pharaoh did not panic, and said to the attendant beside him, "Call a wizard in." ”

After a short time, a white-robed wizard walked in and saluted the Pharaoh.

Pharaoh said, "Come and make a serpent." ”

The wizard complied, and soon conjured a snake on the ground. Pharaoh sneered: "This little trick can also fool me? You'd better leave my palace and do your hard work, and don't make any more unwarranted demands. ”

Moses was kicked out of the palace, and he walked down the street alone in frustration, facing a noisy crowd where he did not know where to go. At this time, someone next to him said, "What? The Pharaoh did not agree to your request? ”

Moses turned his head to see Yang Rui standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.

Moses said, "My master, I have said everything you want me to say, and I have done what you have asked me to do." But Pharaoh would not listen to me. ”

Yang Rui nodded and said, "All this is expected by me. ”

Moses asked, confused, "Expected?" Could it be that you arranged it all by yourself? ”

Yang Rui said: "If I want to punish a nation or a person, I must make them greedy or even crazy before they become saintly, so that they can better reflect on their own guilt when they are punished." It would be irresponsible to punish them lightly. Only when you know that it hurts can you recognize the seriousness of the disease you are suffering from. ”

Moses asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

Yang Rui said: "In the morning, Pharaoh will go to the Nile to worship the god of water, where do you go to wait for him, and continue to ask him to let all the Israelites leave Egypt." ”

Moses said, "Pharaoh was so guarded that I couldn't get near him. ”

Yang Rui said: "Ming said that you are waiting for him on the river, where no one can stop you." ”

Moses smiled and shook his head and said, "On the river?" I'm not a leaf that sinks. ”

Yang Rui said: "Look, you still don't believe me. Just ask me and do what I say. ”

Moses asked, "What if Pharaoh still disagreed?" ”

Yang Rui said, "Then you will say to Pharaoh, if I strike the water with my cane, all the rivers and wells, and all the water sources in Egypt will become bloody, and the fish, shrimps, and crabs will surely die, and the rivers will become smelly and undrinkable." Then the Egyptians will know that I exist. ”

Moses wanted to ask again, but Yang Rui had already disappeared.

Moses had no choice but to return to his lodgings, and had nothing to say to his wife and children, but shrank in a corner and slept all night.

Early the next morning, he came to the Nile. At this time, the place was heavily guarded, and the guard of honor of the Pharaoh was gradually showing its form in the billowing smoke and dust.

The banks of the river were closed to traffic everywhere, and Moses was held back by the guards at a great distance, unable to get close to Pharaoh at all.

He suddenly remembered what Yang Rui said the day before, so he came to the river, looking at the clear water, he was a little embarrassed, because he really couldn't believe that he could walk on the river.

He tried to hit the river with his cane, but the surface of the water was as submerged as ever, and he didn't feel at all that it could carry people.

But Yang Rui's words kept lingering in his ears, and he hesitated again and again, but he still stretched out his foot.

Strange things happened, the river still did not change, but Moses stood firmly on the water, as if he were sitting on transparent glass.

Moses, after being amazed, strode forward, thinking of Pharaoh.

The appearance of a man on the water, walking leisurely, towards the Pharaoh, must have caused a stir.

Pharaoh was also sincerely surprised to see Moses standing on the water, and he asked, "Moses, what are you going to do?" ”

Moses said, "I have been commanded by God to come to you again and ask you to spare the Israelites and let me take them out of Egypt to a new homeland. ”

Pharaoh angrily pointed at Moses and said, "Moses, don't challenge my bottom line again, I will never agree to your request!" Before I'm completely angry, it's best to get out of my sight. ”

Facing the wind of the river, Moses raised his staff and said, "If you don't agree to my request, then I will turn this river into blood, do you believe it or not?" ”

Pharaoh said, "I am not afraid of your street tricks!" ”

Moses struck his cane on the water, and suddenly a fishy smell hit his face, leaving the bottom of the riverbed and turning out a red court, which instantly rendered the entire Nile, and the river turned into blood, and a large number of fish and shrimp came out of the river with white bellies.

After Moses stopped striking and the Nile returned to its original state, Moses asked, "Do you agree or disagree?" ”

Pharaoh commanded the sorcerer, "My men can do the same, you can't frighten me." ”

The sorcerer, at Pharaoh's command, also turned the river bright red. The Pharaoh looked at it and laughed, clapped his hands repeatedly, and rewarded the sorcerer who cast the spell.

He scoffed at Moses on the water and said, "Get out of here, don't let me see you again!" (To be continued.) )
