Chapter 1355: Forbidden Book, "The Heart Sutra of God and Man"

"The God King is crowned, and Dark Snake commits suicide. The Lord God's light falls, and the Cloud Snake turns into a butterfly? Using the cruelest life and death, compose the music of the return of the glue man?..."

In the big tent, Avit was stunned for a while after reading this long Yuefu story, and did not speak for a long time. This tragic hero story that conforms to the aesthetics of the Mexica tribes and even the Nahua tribes on the plateau has too many rich elements and too many familiar plots, which can make him empathize and savor for a long time.

Naturally, he put himself into the role of the strong, brave, heroic and wise Jaguar God King, and felt real regret for the generous death of "Dark Snake". And the promise of the Jaguar God King to Dark Snake also made him look slightly moved, as if thinking about something.

"May the Lord God bless you! This is to bridge the old feud between the Mexica tribes and the Tlaxcala tribes. Tell the story of our Mexica people's conquest of the Tlaxcala people in another narrative way? Turn the tribal conflicts between the two sides into internal conflicts among the Tlaxcala people?..."

"The dark snake here is a heroic benchmark for the Tlaxcala people. And the Jaguar God King here is a kingly model for the Mexica people... Finally, through the mouth of the Mexica God King, give the promise of "Jiaren as one" to appease the Tlaxcala tribes?..."

Avit lowered his eyes, and in a flash, he had tasted the political narrative of this Yuefu. And the purpose of such a political narrative is also very clear, which is to resolve the old enemy and for the integration and assimilation of "Jiaren as one"!

And looking back at the stories behind "Jiaren Yuefu", there are similar metaphors, using the mouths of heroes and warriors of various tribes to tell the integration of Jiaoren and the destiny set by the Lord God. The love, hatred, and entanglement between men and women are not limited to one tribe, but more between different tribes, and they are full of ups and downs and unforgettable...

"Xuluot, it is beyond my expectation that you can revise the legends of various tribes and compile such a "Jiao Ren Yuefu"... It is really for the long term!..."

Avit closed the book, his expression was obviously moved. He had never seen a ruler like Xiuluot who attached great importance to the so-called "culture" and had various wonderful means to establish a "cultural consensus". This really gave him a feeling of facing a prophet!

However, in the entire "Yuefu", the one that touched him the most was still the first "Cloud Snake Turning into Butterfly". This story not only bridges the gap between the tribes on the plateau, but also borrows the mouth of the "Dark Snake", a descendant of the Cloud Snake God, to speak out the words of the lower-level ants who resisted the nobles of the descendants of the gods!

This kind of rebuke, challenge and restriction of the lower class to the upper class is almost the first time in the legends of the Nawa tribes! Although it is written here that the descendants of the gods of Tlaxcala, I am afraid that no priest would write or dare to write like this except for Shulotte!

"Shulotte, my student! During your siege of Yunshe Mountain City, was there really a person like Dark Snake?"

"Yes! Teacher God King, the descendant of Yunshe God, Dark Snake, does exist! He made the most important contribution in the process of conquering Yunshe Mountain City! And around the Yunshe Temple, there is indeed a tombstone of Dark Snake for the people of Tlaxcala to pay tribute and mourn..."

Shulotte answered solemnly and frankly. The descendant of Yunshe God, Dark Snake, is of course dead, and even the tombstone has been erected for two years. However, the tomb is actually empty, with only a piece of clothing. And in the exploration fleet of the Divine Revelation Institute, there has since been an additional military noble of the kingdom, Qi Dark Snake.

"Xuluot, you have always been so cautious in doing things. It seems that there is indeed a prototype of the character Dark Snake... But I saw your shadow in the Dark Snake in the story!..."

Avit spoke faintly, his eyes were both sharp and nostalgic for the past. He stared at Xuluot for a long time with a complicated expression, and then asked softly.

"Xuluot, my student, I saw your past thoughts! When you were drunk for the first time, you said to me the so-called "equality of life" and the so-called "tolerant order"..."

"Lord God! After being a king for so many years, do you still have that bottom line and pursuit in your heart?..."

"."

This time, it was Xuluot's turn to be silent. After a long while, he nodded gently, took out the "Heart Sutra of God and Man" at the bottom, and handed it to Avit. And this time, he did not call the other party the God King, but called him by name, just like when they first met.

"Avit, my teacher. My bottom line and pursuit have always remained in my heart... and my heart is hidden in this scripture. In the current era, such pursuit is difficult and impractical. But one day in the future, when productivity develops enough... there will always be someone who will dig out my heart from the words hidden in this scripture again, and use it as a slogan to reshape this world!... In this way, I will not come to this world in vain..."

"."

Avit raised his eyebrows and flipped through the not-so-thick "Heart Sutra of God and Man". He savored the words in it and felt like he was really reading a "prophetic prophecy". As he read it, he couldn't help but recite it out.

"... God and man have a three-level progressive relationship... The first level is the belief seeking rewards and the soul seeking salvation. 'Believe and gain' is the most basic level, just like people look up and respect the sacred tree..."

"Human faith always starts from 'efficacy'. But at the second level, the so-called faith is no longer simply awe, fear or profit, but divine 'guidance and enlightenment'! Just like in Under the sowing and enlightenment of the Lord God, the sown seeds sprout branches...and everyone has an 'innate' divinity. Bathing in the divine light of faith is a 'shortcut' to cultivating it..."

"At the third level, belief in gods will gradually reach the essence, and the soul connection between gods and humans will appear. This is the 'soul communication', and they are connected into one body at the 'higher level', just like the 'grafting of trees' '! ...Sacred marriage and continuity are similar physical connections to continue life, but faith is the connection of souls, pursuing direct understanding of God from life to death..."

Avitt frowned slightly, carefully pondering these theological theories and savoring every word in them. These opening sections are obviously elaborating on the relationship between "gods and humans" in religion. And what made him think deeply most was...

"Everyone has an inherent divinity? And ultimately, faith is the direct soul connection between God and man?..."

Avitt frowned, was silent for a moment, and looked at Shulot deeply. Then, he turned over the first part of "God-Human Relationship" and came to the second part of "Human-Human Relationship".

"The main god brings faith not to make priests higher than believers, nor for idols and offerings... The enlightenment he brings guides 'people' to establish an order of peace and development! This order The ultimate goal is for everyone to be fed, clothed, sleeping, and able to walk, so that everyone can marry, reproduce, cultivate, and harvest...and the ultimate ideal is to make the beautiful Kingdom of God rich and peaceful, and through continuous development The creation came to the human world..."

"Essentially speaking, when God first created man, he left behind the hidden seeds of divinity. At the beginning of God's creation, they were equally equal... It's just that some people shouldered greater divine destiny, and the seeds grew into gods. Tree. But the rest of the people, even the unbelievers who have not converted, still have the seeds of divinity and have the potential to grow into divine trees..."

Seeing this paragraph, Avitt's brows furrowed even deeper. As a divine king who rules with divinity, he naturally does not like this discussion that "everyone has the seed of divinity". Fortunately, Shulot made a compromise in the text, allowing "some people to be more equal than others", so that Avitt could barely read it.

In fact, this is why Shulot took out this scripture. If it were another person, I'm afraid even the altar for sacrifice would have been prepared by now!

"Everyone can be a sacred tree...and the priests of the Lord God are farmers who plow the fields. They are responsible for watering and fertilizing so that the seeds of divinity can germinate. And the enlightened sacred trees support a sky and establish the tree's 'Community'. At least in the community of faith, both priests and sacred trees must establish a peaceful order! Let the tribe develop production, make everyone rich, and let the Lord God's kingdom be achieved in this world..."

"And the third part, the Kingdom of the Lord God, will have this scene of abundance, such spectacular production, and this kind of orderly order..."

Avitt remained silent, and did not read out the next content, but just tasted it carefully in his heart. Because the following content, at first reading, is just an argument for the ideal kingdom of God, and those vivid descriptions are like the Lord God’s promise to believers...

But with Shulot's reminder and some careful thinking, Avitt was able to discover to his horror that such an ideal divine kingdom might also be able to be established in the world!

Because the entire set of logic behind this concept of the Kingdom of God is completely self-consistent and enough to support a new order! A terrifying order that allows civilians to manage themselves and effectively rule themselves without the need for divine rule!

"Xulot, there is no kingdom of God on earth in this world! There is no time when everyone is rich, and there is no time when everyone is kind, tolerant and equal!"

"Avit, it is true that there is no such thing in this world. But the pursuit of the ideal kingdom of God has always been in everyone's heart. And in the future, such a world will definitely come. I also saw its true appearance in the signs of divine revelation. ! ... Of course, some things cannot be rushed or done. I just left these foreshadowings in the scriptures... Well, depending on your reaction, I will have to delete them and bury the foreshadowings deeper. The Kingdom of God is written more briefly, or just points out a direction!…"

Shulot smiled. Although his appearance had the maturity of a young man, Avitt still saw the shadow of a boy. At this moment, his smile was so pure, so bright, even a little dazzling.

"Xulot, you are playing with fire! The descendant of God guides all the people, and all the people obey, just like the ant king and the ants... Just like this, this is good, this is enough!... You have to understand that you are Prince of the Mexica royal family, you are one of the most respected descendants of God! Not all the so-called enlightenments given to you by the Lord God are good!”

At this moment, Avitt was a little angry, but looking at Shulot's calm smile and thinking of the other party's divinity and status as a great prophet, he felt helpless.

He knows that his students are not reckless people, but will lead the world in the direction of the world step by step, just like the "glue of people" built by the other party, with long-term plans. And this scripture is also cryptic and implicit enough. Without reminders, it would be difficult to discern the hidden content. After revision, future scriptures will even be more obscure, burying certain things deeper!

In fact, in the foreshadowing that Shulotte buried at the end, the "future of the Kingdom of God" pointed to at the end of the scripture is definitely not something that will happen within one or two hundred years. It may take hundreds of years, or even ten fifty-two years of reincarnation, in the "industrial age" he vaguely described!

On the contrary, the "God-man" relationship in the front, the "religious reform" that it secretly pointed to, and the "man-man" relationship in the middle, the "Enlightenment", are probably going to come like a flood in one or two hundred years...

"Shulotte, I still have to say... your ideal Kingdom of God inspired by God does not exist, and there is no possibility of realization at all!"

"Avite, you are right, this is indeed just an "ideal country". But putting it on paper, even if it is just on paper, proposing a concept, is better than nothing! Its greatest value is to give hope to the present world and a future to future generations!..."

"."

After a moment of silence, Avite sighed faintly. He suddenly reached out and rubbed Shulotte's head, just like many years ago. At this moment, he rarely felt that he was old. But the student was still so young and bright, like a real rising sun.

"Xuluot, my student. You have the wisdom of an elder, but not the hardness of an elder... But perhaps you can be more glorious, in a future that I cannot see..."

"I'll take this scripture away. You can write a new one! Delete the content at the back and modify the content at the front... Make sure that the priests and elders can accept it!..."

Avit shook his head and reached out to take the "Heart Sutra of God and Man". Then, before leaving the tent, he stared into Xuluot's eyes, as if staring into the sun and the abyss.

"It's been more than ten years, my student. You have finally grown from a priest hostage whose life and death are uncertain to a great prophet of the alliance, and have the ability to change the world!..."

"But you must remember...you are always one of the most noble descendants of gods in the world, and your child with Alyssa, your own bloodline, will also be the most noble descendants of gods in the world, the unquestionable ruler!..."

"So, no matter what you see in the divine revelation, you must always remember your own position, remember the position of your descendants... Is the so-called change really good?..."

After saying the last meaningful sentence, Avit took the scripture and turned away. Behind him, Shulot sat cross-legged in front of the table and gradually closed his eyes, like the abyss swallowing the sun.
