"Why can't I go to heaven?" Renly panicked.
"You're not qualified."
"That's not right. I know the other knights. Their morals are definitely not as good as mine.
For example, Sir Costa. I admire his talent and loyalty, and I even made him the acting mayor of Storm's End Fortress.
But I know his background. He has four or five illegitimate children, and he likes to curse people. "Renly was not convinced.
"Costa was the same as you. He was killed by Melisandre with shadow sorcery. After his death, his soul entered Lahlo's hell and was tortured by all kinds of evil methods. You begged for mercy, but he kept cursing Lahlo.
In the past ten years, he recited the Seven Stars Bible to resist the pain and suffering. His soul even showed signs of ascension. "
"It hurts!" Renly stomped his foot and said, "The Hell Fire Demon stabbed me in the butt with a red hot iron rod, and …"
Sensing the strange looks from the people around him, he quickly omitted the details and said, "I begged for mercy because I couldn't take it anymore."
"After you begged for mercy, did the demons stop torturing you?" Erya asked.
"Well …" Renly was stunned and said, "They seemed to be torturing me even more."
"Yeah, yeah. I kept begging for mercy, and the demons kept laughing."
Immediately, there was a large group of people who agreed with him.
"Lahlo is a bastard. You're just sacrifices, but I'm his believer!" A knight with a red heart said angrily.
"Don't all believers go to heaven of light and fire?" Miya asked in confusion.
"I don't know. Anyway, I've been tortured by the demons of hell."
"Lahlo only needs believers who are valuable to him. They are either very devout, talented, or have the king's blood. The rest are all sent to hell," Erya said calmly.
"That's not fair!" A red god believer complained.
"That's what happens when you believe in an evil god."
Erya turned to Renly and continued, "You were tortured, and then you begged for mercy. You even listened to the demons and cursed the seven gods you believe in.
This is not a sin. The Holy Mother and the Heavenly Father can understand your behavior. However, not making mistakes does not mean that one has merit. Without merit, how can one go to heaven? "
"Alright, Costa is a tough guy. I'm impressed! But Sir Reed also begged for mercy, I saw it with my own eyes, "Renly said excitedly.
"Do you know how Sir Reedy died?" Erya asked.
"Sacrificed?" Lan Li asked.
"Back then, right after Robert's death, Stannis was preparing to spread the teachings of the Red Gods on Dragonstone Island.
When he abolished the beliefs of the Seven Gods and the old gods, Sir Reed was the first to stand up and firmly oppose it. He was also killed because he stopped the red-robed woman from burning the statues of the Seven Gods.
Therefore, they are righteous men, unlike you! "Erya said.
"This …" Lan Li was stunned. He begged, "It's fine if you don't go to heaven, but why do you have to go to hell? I've been in Lahlo's hell for more than ten years. Please have pity on me! "
Erya sighed and said, "I actually sympathize with your experience. Your sins are less than most who go to heaven, but rules are rules. I can't help you."
"What? Many who are more sinful than me go to heaven?" Lan Li shouted excitedly.
"Why? Is it because I like men that the Holy Mother discriminates against me?"
"The Heavenly Father is just, and the Holy Mother is merciful. They will not discriminate against anyone. As long as you don't force others, it's not a sin." Erya shook her head.
"Then why?" Lan Li was confused.
"You don't have the Atonement Scroll." Erlu sighed.
"Then what is it?" Lan Li was confused.
"Sigh, you died too early …" Erlu no longer resented his brother. He sighed and explained the Atonement Scroll. Then he turned to Erya and said, "Can you put all of Lan Li's sins on me?"
"You —" Lan Li was shocked. His expression was complicated.
"Lan Li's sins are many and varied, but they are not serious. For example, he once slandered you behind your back, saying that your dick is rusty and that you haven't slept with Celis for years. "
"Bastard!" Erlu glared at his third brother.
Lan Li smiled and said, "Is there a mistake? I think it was the imp who said that."
Erya nodded. "Tyrion started it, but you did say it more than once.
Because of that, rumors about Stannis and Celis began to spread among the nobles of King's Landing. "
"I won't take the blame for him. Let him go to hell for pulling out his tongue!" Erlu ground his teeth.
"That's not a big sin, is it?" Lan Li grimaced.
"Slander is enough to send him to hell for pulling out his tongue, not to mention he's your brother. It's ten times worse."
"The Heavenly Father is just!" Erlu exclaimed. Then he asked, "What else?"
"He said Shireen is disgusting and that the sooner she dies, the better."
Seeing his second brother's fierce gaze, Lan Li hurriedly explained, "Shireen has the Gray Scale Disease. Isn't that disgusting?
There's no antidote for Gray Scale Disease. When the patient is petrified, they will suffer unimaginable pain. An early death is truly a relief! "
"How is that slander?" Lan Li felt wronged.
"It's not slander, it's unkindness. You said those words in front of Shireen. Can you imagine how she felt at the time?
Shireen was young, but she was smart and sensitive. Your words troubled her for life.
Even when she was burned to death, she kept thinking about those words. "
"Are you still human?" Erlu's eyes were red.
Lan Li took a few steps back and said awkwardly, "I thought she couldn't hear me. “
Can't you see that she's crying? "
"I didn't see it."
"You avoided it like the plague. You didn't even look at it," Erya said coldly.
"This kind of small sin is human nature. Does everyone have to go to hell without the Atonement Scroll?" Lan Li said dejectedly.
"You can make mistakes. As long as you do more good deeds, the good deeds will be greater than your sins. You can still go to heaven. But you keep committing small sins without any good deeds, "Erya said.
"Impossible. I helped Robert raise his illegitimate son. I often throw coins to the beggars on the street. I even …" Lan Li's heart was moved. He said emotionally, "When your direwolf bit Joffrey, I even advised Robert not to blame you and your sister. No matter how you look at it, that's a great deed, right?"
Erya shook her head. "Those are only good deeds. They're not good deeds. Just like the bad things you do every day, they're not sins. For example, you fooled around with many men out of lust. "
Lan Li's face reddened. He shouted, "Tell me, what counts as good deeds?"
Erya pointed at Erlu. "He has a lot of good deeds. In his early years, he defended Storm's End. He advised Robert to be diligent and frugal. He helped Jon Arryn to govern the country and save the people. When Balon rebelled, he quelled the rebellion. He also had merit. He saved the Wall. He had great merit. He defended Winterfell. He also had merit. He protected the King's Landing and his territory. "
Erlu's eyes widened. Tears welled up in his eyes. His lips trembled. He couldn't speak.
"I didn't expect the Heavenly Father to …"
"Did the Heavenly Father make a mistake? How can defending Storm's End count as good deeds? He's rebelling. He's helping his brother betray Targaryen! "someone shouted in disbelief.
Erya said, "Let's not talk about whether Robert's rebellion was justified. It's not wrong to defend one's own castle. Besides, the good deeds of defending Storm's End have nothing to do with battle results.
This incident mainly shows Stannis's character. His perseverance, wisdom, and courage.
Wisdom is in line with the Crone's teachings. Courage and perseverance are in line with the warrior's teachings.
The Heavenly Father's judgment of good deeds doesn't depend on how many people the person saved. Any action that is in line with the teachings of the Seven Gods is good deeds. "
How many people did Wen Tianxiang save?
The only reason he could become a Saint was because he sacrificed his life for a righteous cause.
"I've also advised Robert to drink less," Lanli said.
"If you can persuade him to hate you as much as he hates Stannis, then you will have good deeds," Erya said blankly.
"Uh …" Lan Li was stunned. He smiled bitterly. "Then it's not easy to get good deeds."
"If it's easy, then everyone can go to heaven."
"Stannis can go to heaven? He killed me! "Lan Li frowned.
Erya shook her head with a complicated expression. "Stannis will go to the Seven Hells and be punished for a hundred thousand years!"
"What?" Everyone exclaimed.
Erlu was expressionless and said nothing.
Erya looked at him and said, "You have a lot of good deeds, but you have sinned even more. You already know that the souls of those who are sacrificed will be possessed and tortured by the Evil God after they die.
So, sacrificing evil gods is a great sin. Do you have any objections? "
Erlu shook his head.
"Aside from the blood sacrifice, you have committed two crimes of kinslaying, Lan Li and Shireen.
You sacrificed Aegon and violated your holy oath to Sansa.
You can change your faith to the Red God. That's not a sin. But sacrificing those who oppose you and burning the Godwood and the statues of the Seven Gods is blasphemy. It's a great sin! "
Erlu said bitterly, "The Heavenly Father is very fair. I accept this judgment. Lady Arya, please tell the Heavenly Father that I am grateful for this judgment. "
"Grateful … for the judgment?" Erya was confused. "Maybe you should thank the Holy Mother for taking back your humanity from Lahlo.
Being resurrected by Lahlo has a price. He will take away the most precious thing in your soul. "
"I know." Erlu nodded and said with a gloomy expression, "Actually, I wasn't free after death.
I didn't even have my own will back then. I was muddle-headed like a tortured beast.
I'm grateful that the Holy Mother made my soul whole and gave me a new life. But I'm even more grateful that she acknowledged me. "
"What acknowledgement?" Erya and the others were confused.
Erlu sighed and said, "The good deeds are acknowledgement of my past efforts. I've been longing for things that I couldn't get my hands on all my life. I didn't want to get them from my enemy in this way.
If only I was born twenty years later!
The last battle of the Long Night should be where I contributed my wisdom, strength and life, not the Iron Throne … "
Erya frowned and thought for a while. She still couldn't understand him and said, "I don't need to convey your words.
If you really have the heart and convert to the Seven Gods, you can look up to heaven even if you're in hell.
Also, your good deeds aren't enough to offset your sins. You can't help others bear their sins. You two brothers will go to hell! "
Erlu nodded silently.
Lan Li's handsome face turned pale. He pointed at the people around him and asked with a trembling voice, "Do they have extra good deeds? Help me. "
