Early in the morning, in a remote temple, a middle-aged priest with a thin face was cleaning the temple. He meticulously wipes all the objects spotlessly. At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and he turned his head.

I saw a thin young man running into the temple in terror, and he looked around for a place to hide. The middle-aged pastor, dressed in his black robe, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you, is something wrong?" ”

The young man said anxiously, "Please, Lord Pastor, help me." They say that I am a scourge, and that they will burn me alive. The middle-aged pastor was surprised: "How can there be such a thing, isn't it forbidden in the doctrine a long time ago." ”

As he spoke, a group of villagers rushed into the temple. One of the leading old men shouted, "Catch him, don't let this scourge escape." Otherwise, our whole village will be unlucky. ”

Several strong villagers hurriedly rushed forward. As soon as he grabbed the young man, a strong man moved his hands, and he beat the young man like a wild dog, and his face was covered with blood.

"See if you still can't run, and dare to fight back, little bunny. The strong man was bitten by the young man, and his hand was even more insignificant. The middle-aged pastor, who had a frightened face, summoned all the courage to step forward and grab him and said, "Don't beat him, you will kill him." ”

The old man at the head sneered: "Lord Pastor, you haven't been here for long, you don't understand our customs, it's best not to meddle in things." The strong man also pushed the middle-aged priest away, and shouted rudely: "Get away, we won't believe in your cults, and if we get in the way, we will burn down your house." ”

The middle-aged pastor got up from the ground, his face full of fear, stretched out his hands and said loudly, "God loves the world, and it is not right for you to do this." Blasphemers will not end well. ”

The middle-aged priest's voice began to echo in the temple, and a golden brilliance appeared on his body. The group of crude villagers couldn't help but be shocked at first sight. Even the fierce strong man was frightened: "What kind of evil art is this, I will say that this is strange here, what should the Great Elder do." ”

All the villagers stared at the old man at the head, and he paused the long staff in his hand, and said, "Lord Pastor, don't be too troublesome. Otherwise, there will be no good fruit of thee to eat. You look behind him, there is the mark of the devil there. If we don't burn him, we will all be killed. ”

The middle-aged priest saw that there was a terrible black pattern on the young man's back. It is unusually conspicuous on the scarred back. The middle-aged priest looked at the young man's cold eyes, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

In the frightened eyes of everyone, the middle-aged pastor stepped forward, gently hugged the young man and said, "Child, I have suffered you. There's nothing wrong with you, it's just a birthmark. ”

The helpless teenager felt the warmth of life for the first time. No one had ever given him such a warm hug before. Even his mother, after giving birth to him, looked at him with a cold and frightened gaze.

"I'm not wrong in saying that. Will God love me too? The boy asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation. "God loves the world, and as long as you have faith in your heart, the glory of God will protect you. The middle-aged pastor patted his head.

The old Great Elder looked at this scene coldly, and he sneered, "Hmph, then I'll see how he will protect you." It's not too early to take both of them away. Don't be afraid, everything has me. ”

The villagers rushed up, tied the two of them sturdily, and dragged them out of the temple. After walking for a while, everyone came to a flat high ground. By an ancient altar, a pile of firewood and grass had already been placed.

The Grand Elder chuckled and said, "Lord Pastor, let me show you what a true god is. Go and put him on the rack. Several villagers put the boy on the fire, and the villagers who gathered around watched all this silently.

The middle-aged priest watched a villager raise a torch, he hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "If I were like this, I would watch things happen." So what's the difference between me and these perpetrators? God, all things are your glory. ”

The middle-aged priest shouted, "If the altar must need a sacrifice, please let me come and let go of the child." With that, he stepped forward without fear. His actions surprised the villagers around, and there was a slight change in their originally numb faces.

The Great Elder looked at the expressions of the villagers around, the muscles on his face couldn't help jumping, and he shouted coldly, "You want to die so much, just tie him to the fire together." The strong man beside him was a little uneasy and said, "Great Elder, will this anger those nobles and lords in the city?" ”

The Great Elder chuckled and said, "Those lazy fellows, as long as there are taxes and food, we will be taken care of there. The strong man nodded, his face showing a hideous look. He stepped forward and tied the middle-aged priest to the fire as well.

The middle-aged pastor looked at the boy and said softly: "Child, don't be afraid, as long as you still have faith in your heart. You will be blessed by God. The young man, who was already indifferent, looked at the middle-aged pastor's gentle smile, and he cried: "Lord Pastor, will there really be a God to save us?" ”

"As long as you have faith in your heart. Save your people, Lord God. The middle-aged pastor bowed his head, closed his eyes and said softly. The strong man laughed and said, "Okay, let me see how your god can protect you." He threw the torch in his hand onto the firewood.

"Save your people, Lord God, and I will believe in you forever. The boy bowed his head, and began to reverently reveal, as the priest did. In the light of the fire, he felt that the blazing flames were burning rapidly.

It's useless, it won't be long before you'll be burned to death. The boy sighed in his heart. At this moment, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky. All of a sudden, it was pouring rain.

The cold rain poured on the young man's body, but he cried out happily: "My lord, it seems that you are right. God didn't abandon me. He looked back, and saw the strong man smirking and plunging a long sword into the priest's body.

The Great Elder stood in the rain and shouted, "Evil God, I am not afraid of you. Kill them all, how can the sacrifices that have been set not count. The middle-aged pastor struggled to get up, he covered the young man's eyes, and said softly, "Forgive them, the world is blinded by desire." One day, they will hear God's call. ”

The boy could still feel the priest's body temperature, but he could not hear his breathing. The cold long sword was also slowly slashing into his body. He didn't feel a trace of pain, but a trace of relief.

The boy saw a blurry figure appear in front of him. He stood there for a long time before he spoke, "I heard your call, what do you want me to do for you." ”

The boy exclaimed excitedly, "Are you God, save us." The vague figure, emotionless, said, "I am not God, I am this world." It's the mountains, it's the rivers, it's the earth. I can't save him, I can only save you. ”

The young man wondered, "No, he said, God loves the world." Please, save him. The vague figure shook his head and said, "He's just a little mortal, and his life has run out." You are different, and you have the fortune to change the world. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth began to tremble and the sky began to roar. All the villagers were stunned by what they saw, and they fell to their knees in fear. After a while, the boy slowly walked down from the extinguished fire.

He dragged the dead priest with great difficulty, and after a while, the boy came to the strong man. The tall and strong fierce man, only felt that his legs and feet were weak, and he knelt down in fear and said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

The boy paused, reached out and hugged him, and said softly, "I forgive you, God loves the world." The black mark behind him showed infinite brilliance. A silver ball flew out and landed on his hand.

The altar next to it suddenly flashed a light spell. The clouds in the sky are open to the sky. Soon, a huge warship appeared. The boy stretched out his hand, pointed into the distance and shouted, "One day, I will come back." Is there no God, I will create one. All the people of the world will be Mu Ze in his glory. ”

In the woodland, the golden light and shadow looked up and said softly: "Since ancient times, it is difficult to break grace, love is difficult, and hatred is difficult to end. Dao Zun, it's almost over, this world is about to be changed by me. There will be no more fighting, no pain, no sorrow, can you and my grievances be let go. I don't care if you restore your flesh. ”
