Chapter 296: Things Not Recorded in the Scriptures
"On that day, our ancestors met the saint who came out of the desert."
In the camp in the mine outside Dengzhou, the Yi people who took the lead made a summary of the other Yi people.
Although the Yi people who took the lead talked about painting sound and color, the other Yi people didn't have the slightest intention of listening to it - mainly because they talked about it for a long time, but they didn't actually talk much. Let's just say that a long, long time ago, their ancestors met the saints, and then what?
"And then our ancestors were freed from slavery, right?"
The people of Ariyi came up with a direction, and this is the most likely outcome.
Mainly, although they are not very familiar with the scriptures and do not know much about the experiences of their ancestors, they at least know that their ancestors must have been freed from slavery - after all, they have heard of such great deeds even if they don't read the scriptures, not to mention that there are more obvious examples, such as where did their ancestors come from if they were not freed from slavery?
So, rounding off, this is about the same as shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target.
But in the face of this inevitable speculation, the Yiren who took the lead shook his head.
"How can it be that simple, you have to know what a harsh environment our ancestors faced back then, so many people wanted to escape, even saints could not easily do it...... But our ancestors were blessed by the gods, and the gods could not see the injustice and suffering suffered by our ancestors, so they ......"
"Wait a minute, I have a question."
The less firm Yiren raised his hand again.
"Our ancestors were originally slaves, right?"
"A slave persecuted by a tyrannical king."
Yiren, who took the lead, nodded, and corrected the other party's words by the way.
"It is precisely because our ancestors had such a suffering origin that the merciful gods ......"
"Wait a minute, I have another question."
The Yiren, who was not very firm in his beliefs, once again raised his doubts.
"That's it, slave, everyone knows about this kind of thing, right? No one will voluntarily become a slave, there must be some circumstance, such as being defeated, or being captured and sold, to become a slave, or even to be sent to the mine like us......"
"That'...... Truly. ”
The leader nodded slowly.
"So, our current situation is very similar to that of our ancestors back then, the same suffering, the same hardship, but think about the ancestors in the scriptures, they did not give up lightly in the face of such suffering, and in the end they still escaped under the guidance of the saints, with the help of the gods, and restored their free identity, so that our descendants can also ......"
"That's not what I'm asking."
The Yiren, who was not very firm in his faith, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I want to ask, did the man who sold our ancestors into slavery be punished by God?"
……
As soon as these words came out, the already quiet dormitory was even more silent.
Even the Yi people who took the lead were stuck in place.
As a devout believer, as a person who has his own understanding of the scriptures, this leader of the Yi people thought that he could use the scriptures to guide everyone in a new direction, everything is God's law, everything is God's arrangement, their current suffering is only temporary, God will not give up on them.
But herein lies the problem.
If God really won't give up on them, how can anyone sell them?
"Does the scripture say anything?"
This time, another Yi who was a little more determined also spoke.
"The scriptures should say, right? The man who sold our ancestors, God will surely punish him, right? ”
“……”
The Yi people who took the lead were speechless.
He could not answer, because these things were not written in the scriptures at all, and all that was recorded in the scriptures was that their ancestors escaped from the hands of the tyrannical king as slaves, and how their ancestors became slaves...... There is no mention of these things in the Bible.
As for whether there is a divine punishment or not, this is not even mentioned in half a sentence.
It is precisely because of this that the Yi people who take the lead are more inclined to believe that divine punishment may not have appeared.
He can be regarded as reciting the scriptures backwards, and it is precisely because of this that he has enough knowledge of the scriptures - and in his memory, all the things that can be called divine punishment are basically recorded, after all, this is the moment when the gods show their power, how can they not be recorded?
As for those that are not recorded, there is a high probability that there is no one.
God did not punish those who sold their ancestors, and it could even be said that they watched their ancestors become slaves, which is simply ...... It's unacceptable in any way.
Could it be that our ancestors really deserved such suffering?
"Ahh......h
The leader of the Yiren froze directly in place, he felt that something indestructible was slowly crumbling.
If you look at it according to this idea, the cheering words he just said are all jokes, they were also sold into laborers like their ancestors, and the devil who sold them did not suffer any divine punishment, which means that they, the chosen people, in the eyes of the gods, actually deserve to suffer this suffering?
"How is that possible? How can it be? ”
The leader shook his head vigorously, he didn't want to believe this judgment, even if it came from himself.
So what really happened in the first place? What did their ancestors go through?
What do those parts of the scriptures that are not written about?
——————————
"This city doesn't look very good."
After most of the day's journey, the three men and one dog who finally came out of the desert, as well as a group of robbers, finally saw the large city that could be called densely populated.
However, it is a big city, and it is only for the locals, and in the eyes of Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao, this kind of thing with only a few rammed earth walls is not even a fortress - but considering that the people here are still using bronze, it is okay, at least for the locals, this thing can indeed be regarded as a city.
The robbers naturally didn't dare to go over, and the defenders at the head of the city would shoot them, but it didn't matter if there were three people and one dog, whether it was Du Chengfeng or Wu Zhao, they could clean up this rammed earth city at will.
So they took the robbers with them.
"Do you want to fight down?"
The bandit leader suddenly geared up, he had thought about this for a long time.
No robber doesn't want a city of his own, after all, that means the highest honor of being a bandit - not running around like a wild dog, but relying on his own strength to build a country of his own.
A robber without a city is just a robber, and if there is a robber with a city, he is a noble king!
"What do you think, don't fight and kill at every turn."
Du Chengfeng has a lot of problems with this statement, he is a pacifist.
"I just came over to see what the local customs are like."
The second shift was delivered, and everyone rested early.
Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.
I'm going to sort out my thoughts, good night everyone.
