The priests of Bethany conspired to spread rumors, but this despicable plan did not come to fruition.
Soon, another sensational rumor spread among the people. This news made it impossible for the priests to spread the rumor they had prepared, or it would arouse public outrage. Because people were saying that Yola was the Deliverer, the Son of Aloho, and the true Messiah in Elijah's prophecy.
Some people had talked about John in the past, but John had died and hopes were dashed, so the discussion died down. However, Yola's appearance gave people new hope. Yola healed people along the way and preached the faith of Aloho. What was even more surprising was that he had the power to bring the dead back to life. People thought that this was a miracle that could only happen with God's approval.
The news spread quickly in the Valg Plains as if it had wings, and the first appearance of this story was actually related to Maria, the girl of Bethany. He made an appointment to stay in the countryside of Bethany, and his influence grew. People often invited him, even if no one knew that he was the legendary Son of Aloho. But he was a "miracle doctor", which was enough to be respected, and many people would try to befriend him. A rich and powerful lord lived outside Bethany. He heard of Yola's reputation and invited him to his home. There would be many distinguished guests, and he asked Yola to preach and bless them at the banquet.
Jesus had never discriminated against the poor villagers and the lowly Samaritans. Some people had already regarded Yola as only a guide for the poor and commoners, and thought that he would not accept such an invitation. To their surprise or disappointment, however, they all accepted the invitation.
One of the disciples asked, "Esteemed Guide, why would you accept an invitation to such a banquet? Everyone thinks that your arrival is to guide the suffering people to salvation. If you set your lecture at such a banquet, the poor will think that you want to stay away from them. " Yola shook his head and said, "If someone says that, tell them that the faith of God belongs to everyone, rich and poor, noble and humble. Those who think that God belongs to themselves are on the wrong path. "
The banquet was set up in a luxurious courtyard. There was a beautiful fountain at the side that brought a trace of coolness. The guests all sat around the fountain, and the table was filled with delicious wine and delicacies. Some who had not accepted the invitation came to the courtyard, and they stood by the corner of the wall to listen to Joseph's speech. Jomo came barefoot, washed his feet in the fountain, and took his seat.
At this time, a Shema girl walked over with an exquisite clay pot in her hands. It was Maria. The clay pot was filled with an expensive perfume. With a reverent expression, she sprinkled the balm on Jomo's hair and bent down to clean Jomo's feet with the rest of the balm. Then, she quietly retreated out of the courtyard.
While she was doing these things, Yohan didn't say a word. He didn't give in or avoid her. He just looked at her tenderly. The guests at the banquet were all stunned. The Great Lord asked in surprise, "Yaochi, you're already the guide of countless believers, an honorable and cold man. How could you let a Shema girl get so close to you in front of so many people? " Yohan was puzzled. He asked in return, "If two people both owe a debt, and one owes five gold coins and the other owes five hundred gold coins, and the creditors decide to write it all off, who do you think should be more grateful?"
The host of the banquet replied, "The one who owes five hundred gold coins, of course."
Yohan smiled. "Since you think so, you should understand what I mean. For someone like you, who has wealth and power, the desire to relieve the suffering of your soul may not be so strong. But for her, the feeling is different, and my speech is no different.
You invited so many distinguished guests to a banquet for me, but you didn't ask me to wash the dust off my feet. You didn't even greet me with a sincere hug. But she poured the precious ointment on my hair, and cleaned my feet. Since I can accept your invitation, I should accept her blessings. That is the true ritual of a pure soul. "
At this time, one of the guests suddenly cried out, "Messiah! That's a blessing for Messiah! " This cry brought everyone back to their senses. They all remembered the prophecy of the Prophet Elijah, "The Messiah will come and lead all those who truly believe in the Alor River to build their homeland. Just like how Moses led the people of Taleng back to their homeland to build a home flowing with milk and honey." The word "Messiah" means "Deliverer". In the legends, people poured precious balm on the hair of the Deliverer to show their reverence for the glory of God. The Shema girl was such a ritual. In her heart, Yohan was the Messiah, the Deliverer in the prophecy of the Prophet Elijah.
What did it mean for Yohan to accept such a ritual in front of everyone? Although Yola himself didn't say anything, everyone had an answer in their hearts.
Yohan had never announced that he was the Messiah in the prophecy, the son of the Alor River in the legend of Taleng. But when people finally realized this and spontaneously used such a ritual to bless him, he accepted it without rejecting or denying it. The prophecy of the Taleng Plains spread for nearly a hundred years had a far-reaching impact. When the priests of Bethany heard the news, they knew that spreading rumors to slander and slander Yohan would not be of much use.
If people believed that Yohan was the son of the legendary Alor River, then those who slandered him would be besieged and reviled. People had been waiting for the arrival of the legendary Taleng King for nearly a hundred years. If he wanted to deal with York, he could only get rid of him like how he dealt with John in the past.
So the priests of Bethany decided to send a messenger to the elders of the Taleng Temple, reminding them to eliminate Yohan as soon as possible.
Alohan had made a covenant with Moses, "Do not kill the innocent. Do not take the lives of others for money or selfish desires. " This was one of the Ten Commandments that Moses left for the people of Taleng. But now, these priests who enjoyed secular status in the name of Alohan were plotting to kill Alohan himself. All of this was clearly seen by Link and Medanzo, who were secretly guarding Yohan.
Coincidentally, the town that Yohan had passed through not long ago also sent another messenger through Bethany and was about to enter the city of Taleng. The content of the messenger's report was also about the threat that Yohan's behavior posed, and to remind the elders that they should try to imprison or kill this man.
Link said to Medanzo, "They came just in time. We'll catch these two messengers together and give them to Yohan together with the evidence of their crimes."
When Medanzo was about to answer, the two angels suddenly heard Amon's voice in their souls, "Let the messenger go to Taleng. Even if they don't go, the elders of Taleng are already planning the same thing. This is the test that I have to face when I come to the human world. You all know what the so-called "test of fate, judgment of the end of days" is. It is the process of how a man becomes a god. But how does a god become a man? This is the proof I seek. I have to face that fate, and the real people who will be judged are the people who gave me that fate. "The two angels understood that this was the fate that Yohan had to face when he embarked on this path. As for what kind of proof their god was going to complete, Medanzo and Link were not very clear, so they asked in their souls, "My god, what can we do for you?" Amon's voice laughed and said, "Thank you for your protection, but there is no need to do anything more for me. If you are willing, you can prepare some bread and salted fish for me, as much as you can. " Yohan knew what fate he was facing, he was just waiting for the right time to meet it. The disciples did not know all of this, they were overjoyed that Yohan was the prophesied Messiah. They were the earliest followers of the legendary king of Taleng. When they thought of this, they rejoiced and were full of all kinds of beautiful longings for the future.
Maria did not expect that her heartfelt blessing would cause such a big chain effect. Finally, one day, she could not help but ask Yohan, "Dear Guide, can you tell me?
You are the Messiah! Although I believe it, and people think so, I want to hear it from your mouth. "Yohan looked at her and replied," Do you really want to hear it from my mouth? Then tonight, please wait for me in your room. "
Anyone could imagine what it meant for a man to ask a girl to wait for him in his room in the middle of the night! But Maria did not dare to think that way. How could the legendary son of the Aloha, the great savior Messiah, have any unusual relationship with a girl like her?
But she could not help but let her imagination run wild. Sitting in her room at night, her heart was beating like a deer. She was anxious to see Yohan, but she did not know what to do when he came.
What was going to happen? If Yohan really wanted to do something or ask something, she would not resist at all. In her soul, everything was willing. But at the same time, she felt that it was not right. She did not even dare to touch him.
They had been together for so long, and the only contact they had had was that time when she smeared the back of his foot with perfume.
The night seemed to pass very quickly, but also seemed to pass very slowly. The restless Maria suddenly realized that she did not light the lamp, so she quickly lit the oil lamp on the table.
The flame of the lamp was the size of a bean, and the dim light illuminated the small room. Then, Maria saw Yohan.
Joel's figure slowly appeared in front of Maria as the light shone. It was like a shadow turning into a painting before finally becoming a living person.
