Chapter 105: Murder
Yang Rui stood up and came to the sacrificial objects to watch, Cain's sacrificial grains were plump and the vegetables were fresh, and at a glance it was clear that they had been carefully planted and carefully selected.
And Abel's sacrificial head sheep did not look very strong, and the mutton fat oil was not the best fat cut from the tail of the strongest ram, but this did not cause Yang Rui to be dissatisfied.
Instead, he smiled and said to Samael, "Our burnt offering and peace offering will begin soon, and I think this sheep and the fat may be enough." ”
Samael said, "Yes, my master, you have reminded me that what Abel has sent is too timely!" ”
With that, Samael summoned the other angels to take the head sheep and all the fat from the lamb.
Yang Rui didn't look at Abel and Cain anymore, so he walked towards the depths of the garden, and said, "Go back!" ”
"Stop!" Suddenly an angry voice erupted, startling all the angels in the garden, for no one here dared to be so disrespectful, and even in the presence of God.
Yang Rui was not surprised by this roar, he turned around and looked at the roaring man calmly, and asked, "Do you want to say anything?" ”
The man who roared was none other than Cain, and by this time he had already stood up, trembling all over, his fists clenched, and a pair of eyes fixed on Yang Rui.
The tension attracted the Guardian Angel, and Raphael appeared above him, and when he saw the mortal who dared to be so disrespectful to the gods, he wanted to do it immediately. However, because there was no order from Yang Rui, he hung in the sky, watching every move under his feet, waiting for the call of the gods at any time, and killed this godless mortal on the spot.
"Why don't you want my sacrifice?" Cain asked.
Yang Rui said calmly: "Because I don't need it, so take it back." ”
"But this is a year of hard work! I brought them in addition to the offerings you wanted, but you didn't want them, what do you think of me? ”
Yang Rui did not have the slightest emotional turmoil in the face of Cain's angry questioning, and he continued to ask in a flat tone, "Why are you angry?" If you do well, I will praise your deeds, but if you do not do well, then the sin is in your heart, it will haunt you, and you will still be with it? ”
"Am I not good enough?" Cain was a little emotionally out of control, glared at his brother resentfully, and continued to confront God.
"Whether you're good enough or not is not what you say. It's what I said. Yang Rui said, "I don't need your sacrifice, but you need the items that your brother offers." That's all, are you also angry about this? ”
"But I have put in a great effort and sweat in the fields, and this boy, who is idle all the time, only watches the sheep wander around, and he is accepted, which is not fair!"
Yang Rui asked Cain: "But have you looked at this matter with a righteous heart?" What I don't need, leaving behind will naturally be wasteful, so I tell you to take it back, it's not to belittle you or insult you, if you think so, then I can only say that sin has grown in your heart. ”
Cain spat on the ground and humiliated God in public, and Raphael immediately came to the front, and the long sword was already aimed at Cain's neck, just waiting for Yang Rui to issue the order.
Yang Rui said calmly: "Let them go." ”
He watched the two brothers descend the mountain, and an incomprehensible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cain returned home and asked his mother, Eve, "Why would God not want my sacrifice, when my sacrifice is a hundred times stronger than Abel's?" ”
Eve glanced at the angry eldest son, and then said lightly, "The reason why God doesn't want you but wants Abel is because Abel thinks he is unworthy to serve God, and you affirm that God needs you." ”
"Don't God need my offerings?"
"He gave me and your father clothes, so that we could know how to cover our ugliness, and taught us shame, God is omnipotent. You want to be above God, and God is already gracious to you. ”
The next day, Cain sat in the field, staring at the harvested land in a daze, his face still full of anger, when a raven flew up to him.
The bird did not seem to be afraid of Cain, but flapped its wings and rested there.
After a while, Abel drove the flock here, and Cain's anger reached its peak.
Suddenly, a voice lingered in my ears: "Abel has robbed God of your pleasure, he has done nothing, and you have done so much, this is really unfair." ”
Cain replied indignantly, "So what? ”
"Kill him, and next year God will ask for your sacrifice, and He will accept you." The voice was instigating Cain.
Cain said, "He is my brother, and I can't do that." ”
"Why not?" The voice said, "He robbed you of what was rightfully yours, and he deserves to die!" ”
Cain's hand rubbed against the ground, and suddenly he touched a sharp stone.
The voice continued, "Go, kill him, and the Divine Delight is yours." ”
Cain stood up sharply, put his hands behind his back, clutched the sharp stone, and walked over to his brother Abel.
When Abel saw Cain's angry eyes, he asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”
Cain roared, "You robbed me of my rightful pleasure!" You must be punished! ”
Abel said innocently: "I didn't force your Yue, it was given by God, and no one can take it away!" ”
"But I worked hard for a year, and I came home empty-handed!" Cain continued to roar.
Abel said, "It is you who want to force God to accept the sacrifice, which is wrong, because you do not have a pious heart." ”
Cain suddenly raised his arm and slammed the stone in his hand into Abel's temple, and in a burst of red light, Able fell and the sheep scattered, leaving the body of his master there.
Cain felt a flurry in his heart, and he carried the body of his brother Abel to a place where no one was around, and buried it quietly.
When he returned home in a panic, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person standing in the house, and that person was Yang Rui.
Yang Rui asked him, "What about your brother Abel?" Why didn't I see him? ”
Cain hurriedly concealed his panic and replied confidently, "How could I know that I am not the one who guards my brother?" ”
Yang Rui said: "I heard your brother Abel crying from the ground, he said that you killed him, is this true? ”
Cain shook his head forcefully and said, "I didn't kill my brother. ”
Yang Rui sighed and said, "You are as guilty as your parents. ”
Saying this, Yang Rui stomped his foot lightly. Suddenly, the figure of Abel emerged from the ground, his head covered in blood, waiting for Cain to cry out, "Murderer, you killed me!" ”
Yang Rui calmly looked at Cain and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?" Do you want me to lay the corpse before you so that you can be guilty? ”
Cain had nothing to say and knelt in front of Yang Rui, ready to accept the punishment.
Yang Rui said: "You killed your brother, your hands are stained with Abel's blood, and everyone in the world will know about your crime." From now on, all the lands are cursed. If you farm, the land will be lost, and you will be destined to wander in all directions, out of my sight forever. ”
Cain said, "The punishment you have given me is so severe that wherever I go I will be killed by those who know of my crimes." ”
Yang Rui came to Cain, left a lightning scar on his forehead, and said, "With this mark, no one who meets you will kill you!" You will live your whole life with many children and grandchildren, but you will also suffer the most in the world! ”
"Go ahead! The further you go, the better! Yang Rui turned and walked out of Cain's hut.
As soon as he went out, Samael stood at the door, he reverently followed behind Yang Rui, walked in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain, and asked: "My master, why did you instigate Cain to kill his brother, and exile Cain forever, and even let him grow old for the rest of his life, and have many sons and grandchildren?"
