Chapter 148 has been updated, oldies
At night, War God Mountain.
At the end of the day's hard work, the survivors of Crete sat around in the open space, waiting for the two princesses to distribute dinner.
Because too many Minoans poured into Athens at one time, even if the King of Athens prepared a place to stay in advance, it was only a simple shelter to shelter from the wind and rain. Many things in it needed to be slowly improved.
So in a short period of time, they, this group of wanderers, still need to eat a few big meals.
Concerning this, the two princesses, one being steady and the other being fickle, have no objections.
And Hestia, who was rarely able to use her own talents, even supported it with both hands.
Although she is a god, she regards these ordinary people who have been with her for a long time as her neighbors and friends.
Although King Minos and the respectable warriors were bent on death, it is also true that they failed to help them at the critical moment.
So, Hestia has always felt guilty about this.
Now that she has a chance to make amends, she is naturally full of joy and devotes herself to making dishes every day.
As the scribe said, life is a labor and trial, with only a short rest, and the end of the journey, death, is eternal sleep.
After people die, the goddess of the night takes them to the underworld.
With the steaming hot food in hand, the two princesses filled a glass of sweet wine for them one by one as a solace after the meal.
Their beloved King Minos will make a just judgment based on their merits and crimes during his lifetime.
Therefore, even ordinary people who are worthy of their bloodline and the land can calmly raise their glasses and accept this scarlet gift.
—Wine is our blood, and we will sacrifice for you.
However, they are different.
“And Uncle Florence, he smiled at me in my dream!”
The Greeks were afraid of death and attributed both sleep and death to the management of the underworld.
A group of adults who were eating heard those words and names, chewed the food in their mouths, and smiled. There was not much sadness in the atmosphere.
After crossing the river, there is a vast gray plain, which is called the Field of Truth. It connects two roads, leading respectively to the place of happiness - [Elysee Paradise] and the place of pain - [Tartarus Hell]. The souls of the dead receive righteous judgment at the judgment seat in front of the Garden of Truth.
The guilty people will receive varying degrees of punishment in **** according to their crimes, while the innocent people will be able to live a happy, quiet and happy life in the beautiful and peaceful Elysee Paradise.
However, as time went by, the people realized that the two princesses were not just showing off, and gradually relaxed. The class colors of each other gradually faded, and the ties of blood connected them.
—Our blood is thicker than water, we are connected by blood!
Drinking this glass of wine, they will reunite in their sleep with the heroic spirits who are living towards death and their deceased relatives.
There, a **** river flows turbulently, carrying the pain of the world.
The meal in the evening was still sumptuous, consisting of fragrant stew and hungry bread. The two princesses were responsible for sharing the meals.
“Sister Phaedra, I dreamed about my father.”
Several young children who don't know what it's like to feel sad gathered around the fourth princess Phaedra, chattering and talking, their little faces full of pride.
“Me too, but I dreamed that it was Sister Severa from the temple.”
So in comparison, death is not terrible, life is a hard journey that requires patience.
At first, the Minoan people who gathered together were a little flattered when they saw the once-high-ranking royal blood bending their knees for them. Some even some old people with old ideas refused to accept it.
“Sister Fedra, I want to see my father soon, can you...”
The leader of the children spoke in an astonishing voice, and raised his head to look expectantly at Princess Phaedra, the chief priest of Dionysus.
“No! Absolutely not!”
Princess Phaedra shook her head firmly and rejected the child's dangerous idea. She pressed her hands on the young shoulders and gave her earnest advice. “Senseless suicide is a shameful act despised by the **** Dionysus! Because it means you are trampling on life and rejecting the test of life, and such a person only deserves to stay in hell!
And if you want to reunite with your father in the Elysee Paradise, you have to work hard to live a good life and wait until you have completed the journey of life before you can stand in front of your loved ones with your chest raised and tell the judge and relatives that you have not violated God's teachings are not wasted! understand? "
Easy and easy-to-understand instructions were spat out from the girl's mouth. The child listened word by word and gradually understood. The defeat in his eyes was replaced by determination. He could not help but nod heavily to the priest sister.
"Well! I will definitely take good care of my mother and sister, and not let my father and the gods down!"
Seeing the child's enlightenment, Princess Fedela couldn't help but nodded happily and touched the child's head, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Like the Minoans who often dreamed recently, they also dreamed themselves.
In addition to the father whom I longed for in my dream, there was also the mysterious, tall and handsome Lord Dionysus.
He often taught himself some strange truths and stories in his dreams, asking her to convey them to his fellow Cretans.
Fedra followed the instructions with the intention of giving it a try, and found that after listening to these words, the depressed mental state of her companions improved significantly, and they gradually emerged from the grief and confusion, and worked hard with more courage and enthusiasm. Live your life.
The little guy who just had the idea of death has rekindled his hope in life. This is the best example.
“Well, Lord Dionysus, you must be a very good and handsome man!”
Looking at the compatriots on the field who had drunk the wine and were taking a nap next to each other in a tipsy manner, with happy smiles on their faces, the fourth princess felt quite proud and couldn't help but murmur in her voice.
At the same time, the clerk upstairs who was watching through the window couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard the childish murmur.
Whether it is the original Orphic religion in memory or the Dionysian religion after the demonic transformation, the core of their doctrines has a common feature.
That is to persuade people to indulge rather than act recklessly. They must abide by the precepts and love their lives.
You can choose to be a hero who makes great achievements, or you can choose to be a traveler who conquers the mountains and seas, or you can live from sunrise to sunset and feel the warmth of blood and family ties in an ordinary life...
No matter what the choice is, as long as you can live your life well and live your true self, there is no distinction between high and low, and you are worthy of the teachings of the gods.
These are the principles that Lorne taught her chief Dionysian priest during her dreams, and she preached them to more Minoans through her mouth.
The result is also obvious. These spiritual comforts allowed the Minoans who had just experienced the pain of losing their country to quickly get over their grief and devote themselves to new construction and civilization inheritance.
At the same time, it also provided a lot of faith to Lorne, the **** of wine who was often talked about by everyone.
In the dim room, a white palm was opened, and the rich golden light flow gathered in the palm, like substance.
Seeing this gratifying harvest, Lorne nodded slightly and played with the serpentine twelve-sided die in his hand with satisfaction.
I have to say that the reason why believers can accept [God's teachings] so convincingly is also thanks to the efficiency of the goddess of witchcraft in the underworld.
No, in just a day or two, King Minos and the group of heroic spirits who died in the battle began to take office, set up the tribunal of Hades, and conveyed their message to the remaining people of Crete through dreams. news.
Based on this assist, the three concepts of [Hell], [Purgatory], and [Heaven] constructed by Lorne quickly became popular among people.
The people who survived became more and more convinced that everything was the result of the [Bacchus], and they followed the guidance of this good **** seriously, abandoned their psychological burdens, and loved their lives even more.
Naturally, this group of domesticated [lambs] also provided the [gods] with huge and pure power of faith in the process.
Lorne looked at the land under his feet that was connected to Hades, and then looked up at Mount Olympus hidden among the stars. He raised the corners of his lips and gave a mocking smile.
Fear and darkness are not the only ways to awe and follow life;
Warmth and light can also make moths willingly throw themselves into the fire!
So, it's time to update the version of faith, oldies!
