Volume I: The Flood 354, What Shall I Call You

Some people began to throw tools at Jesus, and the first one was the second, and rotten apples, rotten eggs, vegetable sticks, and hard stones rained down on Jesus' body until the soldiers who were escorting him could not stand the blows. Josus, with his eyes closed, shackled and walked through the streets of the city of Salem from the Temple Square to the gate of the Doge of Maro.

Governor Maro heard the tsunami-like shouts from the mountains outside the mansion and realized that even if he wanted to, he would not be able to keep Jesus' life, and if it arose, he might be the first to lose his office, so he decided to resign himself to fate and sentence him to death "at the request of the people."

When the verdict was announced, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers. Josus, with his eyes closed, muttered to himself, "The flood, this is the great flood that is coming upon me!"

Jesus was not simply put to death, he was first scourged. The whip was a belt full of nails, and it was whipped until his skin was torn apart, and Jesus took it silently. After the flogging, he was taken to the execution ground outside the city gates, where the thieves appointed by the priests and the incited people followed the procession like a flood.

Someone tried to humiliate Josu as much as possible, and put a crown of thorny rattan on his head, shouting, "Behold, this is the Messiah the King and Deliverer of Salem!" and spat in his face as he cried back. The flesh-and-skin Jesus was bleeding, and the bright red blood reflected a faint golden light in the sunlight.

According to the laws of the Maro Empire, the most heinous condemned prisoners were to be nailed to the cross with their feet pierced with large nails and outstretched arms, and burned to death by thirst. It was an unimaginable torment, and only the citizens of Maro could be spared this terrible punishment – they would also be put to death if they committed a capital crime, but not by the cross.

As part of the reward, the condemned person personally carried the heavy cross to the place of execution. But because of the torture of the thieves, Jesus' flesh and blood was scarred and staggered on his cross. Even the Maro soldiers who were escorting him could not stand it anymore, and called a pilgrim from outside the city to help him carry the cross for Jesus.

When the place of execution came, the cross was placed, and Jesus pressed his outstretched palms forward, and took the nails and nailed them into his palms, and blood flowed out......

When Jesus was crucified, the soldiers erected the cross and inserted it into a stone trough on the ground to hang the Son in the sun. The sun travels exactly halfway from the horizon to the midsky. The pain was unbearable, but Jesus did not faint, he watched and felt all this very clearly.

It was not only Jesus who was put to death on this day, but there were two crosses on the left and the right, on which were hung two other condemned prisoners. The condemned prisoner on the left saw Jesus and asked, "Isn't it the self-proclaimed Messiah the Savior? But now, like me, I am hanging here in agony waiting for death. ”

The condemned man on the right struggled and shouted, "Shut up!" and then said to Jesus, "When you become king, don't forget to save me." ”

How could Jesus be saved after he had been crucified and awaited death? I didn't expect this death row prisoner on the cross to say such a thing here and now. Jesus finally smiled at the first moment of the day: "This is a special day, and I will soon go to heaven." ”

Under the scorching sun, Jesus' hands and feet were bleeding from the nails, and the wounds all over his body were covered with bloody scabs. The crowd had not yet dispersed, and they gathered on the execution ground and shouted and cursed Jesus.

Jesus' disciples also squeezed into the crowd and came to the cordon laid by the soldiers, their faces covered with tears. Jesus' mother also came, and with the support of her disciples, she was unsteady and staggering. The disciple John heard the voice of Jesus in the spirit: "Please take care of my mother." John couldn't speak, so he could only bow his head silently.

At noon, the sun suddenly darkened, the sky was thick with clouds, and the day seemed to be dusk. Jesus hung on the cross, suffering in flesh and blood. He looked down at the crowd on the execution ground, and then raised his head and looked into the distance, just in time to see the outline of the magnificent temple in the city of Salem.

The sun traveled another half distance from the midsky to the western horizon behind the clouds. The angels in the kingdom of heaven were also silently staring at this scene, and Medanzo, the chief of the angels, had already blended into the crowd on the execution ground, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Medanzo knew very well that the crucified man was flesh and blood of an ordinary man, and that Jesus was suffering as much as an ordinary man at this moment. He quietly pointed to a soldier on duty on the execution ground, and secretly said in his heart: "It's over!"

The soldier suddenly stood up and raised the pike in his hand, unaware that the pike had been transformed by the key of fate. The spear pierced Jesus' side, and the blood that flowed from the wound was pale gold. Jesus spoke his last words: "I forgive them—they don't know what they're doing!

Jesus finally died of rage, the soldier still standing there with his pistol in hand, and Medanzo had recovered the key to fate.

It was not Jesus and two other condemned prisoners who died on this day, and Judas was hanged from a tree on the same mountain where he led his soldiers to identify him. There are people who repented of betraying Jesus and hanged themselves, while others he was killed by the bribes because this shameful traitor was useless. But no one paid attention to Judas's death, as if the mention of this man's namelessness was a symbol of rebellion and humiliation.

......

The execution ground was not all mob incited, but when the crowd dispersed after Jesus' death, the followers who truly loved Jesus remained in tears. With the permission of the governor of Maro, they unwound the body of Jesus, wrapped it in white linen, and buried him temporarily in the garden in the backyard of the home of a wealthy follower, where the tomb was made of stone according to traditional rituals.

There is also a god in the clouds who is watching invisibly, witnessing all this with his own eyes, trying to spy on the mystery of Amen's quest. He watched Jesus be buried, but he didn't find Amen returning to Heaven, so where did he go? Could it be that the spirit has been reincarnated and lost in trying to reincarnate?

Thinking of this possibility, the god was puzzled, and at the same time smiled a little gloating. Just then, a voice sounded in his ears: "Apollo, it shouldn't be here!"

Apollo turned around and saw Ameng's figure appear in front of him. Amen looked at him coldly, and said, "I have not forgiven, have you ever taken John the Baptist as me in the wheel?"

Apollo knew something was wrong, but found that his whole body was entangled in a golden aura. The golden light was like a chain, tightening tighter and tighter, dissolving his form. Apollo let out an unwilling roar, and the golden light suddenly exploded in the clouds!

......

Indeed in the middle of the night after Jesus' death, all the people in the city of Salem were awakened by a loud noise, and a burst of golden light burst from the sky, and the strong light illuminated the city of Salem more brightly than in the day. The Emperor shuddered slightly, and the people rushed out of the house into the streets. The dazzling golden light in the sky made people unable to see the tools clearly for a long time, and the loud sound made people unable to hear the sound for a long time, and the situation was like the sky falling apart.

Many, many years later, when people talked about the events of this day, the people of Salem put Jesus to death, causing God's wrath. And the situation at that time was that the god Amen appeared in the clouds, and Apollo fell on the spot.

......

When there was a loud noise in the sky, in the dark garden, Mary saw the tomb of Jesus in the light that illuminated the heavens and the earth. She was surprised to find that the stone that had sealed the door of the tomb had been removed, and that the tomb was empty and there was no body of Jesus.

How could Mary come here alone? After midnight was the day of dormancy for the people of Salem, and the followers agreed to offer ointment and flowers to Jesus, and then bury the body according to the traditional rites. But Mary could not sleep, not even for a day, so she went out into the garden alone in the middle of the night.

When Jesus' body was gone, Mary hurriedly turned around and looked around, but the golden light in the sky was still dazzling, and she was dizzy and could not see anything.

As the golden light dimmed, the deafening echo from the sky slowly disappeared. The tomb in the garden was once again covered in darkness, and Maria was stroking the removed tombstone with her hands, tears streaming down her face. On the execution ground during the day, she thought that her tears had dried up, but at this moment she couldn't help crying. Her shoulders twitched in the darkness, muffling her voice.

At that moment, Maria noticed a light coming from behind her, and she heard a voice asking, "Why are you crying here?"

Mary turned around and saw two angels saluting her. They were shrouded in a soft light, and a pair of white wings stretched out from behind their backs, none other than Gabriel and George, the former guardian warriors and high priests of the Temple of Aeguisis.

Mary did not know them, and she replied with tears on her face, "He is gone, did they take him away?"

"Maria, I'm here. A voice familiar to her replied, and Ameng came out of the garden, smiling and standing in front of her.

He was not in keeping with Jesus, he was much more handsome, and he had an indescribable air of holiness. But for some reason, Mary recognized him at a moment's notice—he was the Jesus she was crying for!

Panic and grief were thrown out of the sky in an instant, and Mary threw herself into Ameng's arms. Ameng reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and Maria looked at his face in her arms and asked, "What should I be called?"
