CHAPTER 56: BE
Finding that Chen Fan was itching again, Mordred unceremoniously stretched out his long legs and stepped on the middle of his chest, making Chen Fan let out a "quack" again: "Well, don't say it, it feels really good to step on you." β
"It's just that this sound is so weird, like a frog poked by wheat stalks, I don't know what I think I'm doing." Sitting on the bed against the wall, Belia commented in passing.
"Cut, pretending to be like a shaking S, I don't know who was made by Belia last night oh oh babbling, you wait for Mordred, I'm going to make you cry and beg for mercy in the future - poof!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Fan was pressed hard by Mordred, who had a cold face, so that he couldn't step on his chest and sink it together.
"I think you can really do it, since you don't want to live so much, then I'll fulfill you, master, okay?"
As she spoke, Mordred slowly increased the strength on her feet, not minding Chen Fan's futile struggle that he couldn't shake at all while holding his ankles.
"Don't don't, I'm wrong, can't I be wrong? Lord Mordred is the best in the world! In the face of the test of life and death, Chen Fan decisively admitted that he sent Mordred to lick his feet.
"Huh, it's so simple? The master is not the kind of convenient woman, surnamed Chen! It's a pity that Mordred didn't eat this, and simply stepped on Chen Fan's sternum, and made up for it on the side ribs, so that one rib was broken and accurately poked into Chen Fan's lung lobe, making him completely quiet.
"Now your kid will be alive, but judging from the previous recovery speed, it is estimated that it will not be too long, Belia, you remember to remind me to give him a few more hits when the time comes." Continued to put his feet on Chen Fan's chest and stepped on it, as if he had awakened something terrible, Mordred turned his head and said something to Belia.
For Mordred's request, Belia tapped her chin quite approvingly, and then couldn't help but sigh: "But just now when it comes to the abyss, Yunshang is currently controlling the first five layers, and the most vast sixth layer can't go further, it's a pity." β
"Huh?" One hand played with the ponytail that he left on his shoulder, and Mordred waved it casually with one hand, "This can't be helped, after all, Yunsheng currently has seven heroic spirits above the fifth level, and the abyss from one to the fourth layer is okay, just one can be stationed in each place, but the nature of the fifth layer is too dangerous, and it has not been fully explored so far, so two have to be stationed, plus the golden emperor of Babylon doesn't bother to go to the abyss at all, and the sixth layer can only be shelved first." β
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that there was another heroic spirit in Tianzhu, I'm afraid the fifth layer would not be able to control the situation." Feeling helpless, Belia shook her head lightly regretfully.
"Anyway, it seems that the Tower of Babel has recently given a code name to the Laziness of the Seventh Layer of Hell, you know that, don't you?" Mordred didn't think there was any pity, she could take as much as she could, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot was too boring, it was not her favorite choice at all.
"I've heard of it, it seems to be codenamed 'BE', Mordred, do you know what it means?" Knowing the situation only through the announcement, Belia looked at Mordred with some expectation, hoping that she could provide some more detailed information.
During the conversation between the two, Chen Fan, who was firmly stepped on, kept glancing at Ye Yi on the table, but in exchange for only a disdainful side glance, and a look that contained the meaning of 'little rabbit cub, you are killing yourself, and as a man, you have to bear the things you provoked'.
"Ah......h β
Hearing the name, Belia was a little surprised: "Is that Behemoth, who was molded by God on the sixth day of Genesis out of clay and Leviathan?" After all, in the sixth chapter of the book of Israel, an apocryphal text of the Old Testament, it is recorded that God created mountains and seas on the fifth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth, and on the sixth day he created Behemoth and Leviathan out of clay, and when the end of the world comes, Behemoth, Leviathan, and perch will be the food of the holy one. Enoch's prophecy also describes the two monsters together: "On that day the two monsters will be separated, the female is called Leviathan, and it dwells in the abyss of the fountain; The male one is called Behemoth, and it occupies the entire Dandein Desert. ββ
"Not only that," writhing his hair triumphantly, Mordred broke another stirring news, "according to Babel's latest interpretation, Behemoth itself is also very controversial. According to the book of Job, Behemoth was the first creature, but according to the Apocrypha, both Behemoth and Leviathan were born on the fifth day of creation. In reality, however, the book of Job does not say that it was the first creature, but only that "He is the chief of the ways of God." ββ
By the way, Mordred recited the corresponding passage directly: "On the fifth day thou shalt say to the seventh part where the water gathers, that there should be animals, birds, and fish: and so it shall be. All are to praise you for your accomplishments for the fact that lifeless stagnant waters produce life according to God's commandments. Then thou shalt choose two animals, one thou shall call Behemoth, and the other shall be called Leviathan. and separate them from one another: perhaps they may not be able to accommodate the seventh, that is, that part where the water gathers. To Behemoth you gave a part, that which was dried up on the third day, and it dwelt there, and there were a thousand mountains. And for Leviathan you give the seventh part, that is, the damp place; and commanded it to devour what thou hast rejected in due time. ββ
"He is the first of God's creations, and it is not to blame that he became the lowest monster after going to hell." Thinking about the amount of information in this passage, Belia suddenly raised her eyes to look at Mordred, "But I always feel that although the gossip released by the Tower of Babel is reasonable, it is a smoke bomb released to cover up the real situation, I want to ask, what is the second statement that Mordred knows?" β
"Oh, this one," pursed her mouth in disgust, and Mordred's hand played with the braids as she stopped, "The she-fox said that this 'BE' actually refers to 'Beast Eleven', the Eleventh Beast, also known as the Non-Existent Beast. β
Beast Elevenβ¦β¦
Thinking about the meaning of it with a frown, Belia thought for a long time and suddenly a spiritual light flashed through her mind: "Is it the conclusion that is based on the different interpretations of the ten crowns according to the seven horns?" β
βBingoοΌβ Snapping his fingers appreciatively, Mordred was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to study this kind of niche doctrine in Belia, it seems that we have much more common language than we imagined." β
"What are you talking about?" Finally repaired his lung lobes, Chen Fan, who had planned to pretend to be dead to the end, couldn't help but raise his head and ask curiously when he heard this.
Lowering his head and glancing at Chen Fan, who was full of blood and resurrected, Mordred did not continue to mend the knife: "Hawkers, it's normal for you to be a poor student and don't know, the so-called minority doctrine refers to those schools that believe that the Ten Crowns do not represent the City of Seven Hills and Nero's three eye-opening ironies, but refer to the ten Beasts." β
"What is Beast?" Chen Fan continued to be confused.
"Tsk, you ......" seemed to be a little helpless and bored with Chen Fan's inquiring behavior, and it was also possible that he was not very clear and afraid of making a mistake, so Mordred looked at Belia for help.
Belia was also unambiguous, and after sensing Mordred's gaze, she took a sip of water on the bedside table, and said lightly: "The so-called Beast originally refers to the number of beast names, which is a special number recorded in the book of Revelation in the Bible, and is related to the "beast name mark". The most widely known number of animal names is the number 666. β
Then I saw another beast coming up from the ground, having two horns like a lamb, but speaking like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the former beast before the former beast, causing the earth and those who dwell on it to worship the former beast, the beast that has been healed from a wound that has brought to death. And it did great miracles, so much so that it brought fire down from heaven to earth in the presence of all men. And by the miracles which he performed before the beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth, and exhorted them to make an image of the beast that was alive with the wounds of the sword. And it gained power to give life to the image of the beast, and even to make the image speak, and to put to death those who did not worship the image. It has put a mark on the right hand of all men, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, on their right hand, or on their foreheads; So no one can buy or sell unless he that has the mark, that is, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. And here there is wisdom: Whoever is enlightened, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of man, and its number is six hundred and sixty-six. β
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan directly said the original text, not to mention Belia and Mordred, even Ye Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Belia was a little incomprehensible about Chen Fan's reaction, but Mordred was not so subtle, and said directly: "You guy, since you know, don't pretend to be a little white, this kind of thing pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger has long been outdated." β
"Yarn." Rolling his eyes, Chen Fan said that this was not the case, "You missionaries of the Holy Roman Empire have come to our Central Plains to spread faith, and these contents are what I saw from the Bible translation I got when I was a child, and my father thought that it was bilingual in Chinese and English, and it was a good textbook, so he forced me to read it." β
Speaking of this, Chen Fan sat up angrily and said with resentment: "He doesn't want to think about it, there is English because the missionaries are afraid that the people who read it will mistakenly understand the meaning, or some words are simply not easy to translate, so the original text is annotated, and it is not posted for the purpose of being a textbook at all, okay?!" β
Listening to Chen Fanren's complaints, Mordred directly stepped on his head and pressed him back: "Your nonsense is endless!" If you want to complain about finding a corner to stay, don't disturb the master to listen to Belia's interpretation! β
With a sigh, he was pressed back by Mordred, and Chen Fan obediently closed his mouth in order to avoid being kicked and broken ribs again.
Faced with the strange interaction between the two, Belia coughed lightly with a smile, and waited for Mordred to turn around before continuing: "But the beast in the Ten Crowns explanation has two other meanings. One of them contains the meaning of the 666 plagues in the original biblical text, and also refers to the beast of original sin, which is called "human evil", which is a great disaster rejected by human history, and is a collective name for ten disasters that harm mankind, as well as the number of crowns, a total of ten.
Of course, human evil does not refer to the malice of human beings themselves, but to the various disasters that threaten the history of mankind and destroy mankind. They were born from human civilization, and with the development of human beings, they became more and more powerful, but they destroyed civilization from the inside of society, and they are cancerous existences.
Because the so-called human evil, as the name suggests, is a stain on humanity, and it is also a disaster that destroys mankind. The more human beings develop, the stronger they become, like a cancer that eats away at the body from the inside of society. In other words, it is the mud that has settled in history.
However, it is important to note that human evil is not an evil that destroys humanity based on hostility, but an evil that is destroyed by humanity.
Although human evil is evil, it can never be eradicated, and it will arise as long as human beings exist, and human beings must overcome it. The so-called human evil also means "the evil that mankind destroys", not "the evil that destroys mankind".
Because it is a disaster caused by the animality of humans, it is called "Beast". β
"And what about the other one?" Chen Fan continued to act as a good student, and made Mordred, who wanted to ask but couldn't wipe his face, nodded with satisfaction.
Another is that the ten-headed beast refers to other religions persecuted by Christianity, or similar indigenous beliefs. There were similar cases of this claim long before the birth of Christianity.
Legend has it that after humans left the surface of the earth and came to Yunshang, the indigenous people of Greece during the Divine Dynasty worshipped a unique goddess Mother Earth. But as Perasti was despised by other peoples, the goddess Mother Earth was depicted as a monster in later Greek mythology.
Some people believe that this monster is the hydra that was slain by Hercules, and others think that it should refer to Gaia, the god of the earth, because she is a goddess and the first superprimordial god, she is the deification of the earth, the first true creator god, and one of the primordial natural forces that can create life (the earth). Her appearance marks the beginning of the transformation of chaos from disorder to order, and also marks the beginning of the creation of all things.
However, after the Battle of the Titans (΀ιΟΞ±Ξ½ΞΏΞΌΞ±ΟΞ―Ξ±), his own son was thrown into Chaos by his grandchildren, the Olympus Protoss, who had won the final victory, and became a villain. From a mythological and religious point of view, the Battle of the Titans was the result of other peoples invading the native indigenous peoples and bringing their religious cults into it. β
