Chapter 167 The Death of Jesus
Four Roman soldiers carried a heavy cross. They set the cross up against the wall, lifted Jesus up from the ground, spread out his arms, and tied them to it with ropes.
The weight of the cross almost crushed Jesus' weak body, but the whip struck Jesus' body mercilessly again. The Roman soldiers shouted: "Go quickly! You have to carry this cross yourself to the place where you died!"
Jesus strenuously opened his legs and walked out of the Governor's Palace step by step. The citizens of Jerusalem were crowded along the way. His expression was very complicated, including sympathy, pity, anger and contempt.
Jesus gritted his teeth and walked hard. Several times he fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength. The cross on his back almost made him breathless, but the Roman soldiers kept beating him with whips and urging him.
He quickly got up and hurried on his way.
A member of the congregation shouted: "My master, why are you doing this! You can resist, we are waiting for your order!"
Jesus shouted: "Don't take revenge! This is my destiny. My death is meaningful. It would be meaningless for me to live indifferently."
The top of the mountain is not far away, and the setting sun renders the mountain as red as blood. All the people of Jerusalem gathered around the top of the mountain, waiting for Jesus' arrival.
After walking hard, Jesus finally reached the top of the mountain carrying a heavy cross. He was laid flat on the ground, surrounded by Roman soldiers preparing for execution.
One of the soldiers held a hammer and a long iron nail in his hand. He looked at Jesus lying on the ground expressionlessly and asked coldly: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Jesus had no strength left and could not utter a word. He could only breathe weakly.
The soldier stopped asking questions. He squatted on the ground and pointed the tip of an iron nail at Jesus' arm. After hesitating for a moment, the hand holding the hammer fell hard.
The iron nails pierced the flesh of Jesus' palms, broke the muscles, and even accumulated the phalanges. The severe pain made Jesus tremble all over, when the iron nails penetrated the palms of Jesus' palms and were nailed deeply to the cross.
Jesus suddenly shouted. The heart-rending cry of pain made everyone's hearts tremble. It was a sudden eruption of pain that had been accumulated for a long time. His facial features were twisted together, and he continued to scream with his mouth wide open.
Wow, this shout made the Roman soldier who was executing the execution no longer have the heart to take action.
But the governor's order must be carried out. After hesitating for a moment, the soldier drove the iron nail into Jesus' other palm.
Next came the feet, and the iron nails entered Jesus' body again. Jesus howled in pain, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
The cross was erected in the sunset, and Jesus was crucified on the cross standing on the top of the mountain. This scene could be seen throughout Jerusalem.
The cross was surrounded by people, and Jesus no longer had any strength. He slowly raised his head and saw his wife Magdalene, his mother Mary, and his disciple Peter in the crowd.
Jesus shook his head at them, as if to say, don't move, you must live safely.
Facing the sunset that was about to disappear, Jesus gave his last shout to the sun. He shouted: "Father, I need you to help me get rid of my pain now! But where are you! Where is your promise!"
Yang Rui heard Jesus' desperate cry. He floated in the air and said to Jesus: "I have said before that this is your destiny, and I did not force you to follow this path. All this is your own choice!"
Jesus asked, “Will my death really wake up the world?”
Yang Rui shook his head and said: "No, your religion will rise, and you will be regarded as a god by future generations. But your religion will also follow the old path of other religions, and will raise a butcher's knife to carry out endless killings for its own rule.
"
Jesus shouted, "Why is this? Why!"
Yang Rui said: "This is human nature!"
Jesus died in despair. The next day, his body was taken down from the cross by body collectors, and he was hastily buried in a cave at the foot of the mountain. There was nothing next to Jesus' body, except for a white stripe.
The linen shroud covering his body was the only dignity given to this man.
Three days later at night, Peter and other disciples came to Jesus' tomb. They secretly took out Jesus' body and carefully wrapped it to take away. Only the shroud was left in the empty tomb.
At this time, Magdalene was among the crowd with her big belly. She kept crying, but in order not to be noticed, she had to cover her mouth tightly and try not to make a sound, which made her body tremble continuously.
Tears wet his cheeks and fell on Jesus' body.
When they were about to leave, they were stopped by Yang Rui. When everyone saw Yang Rui dressed as a Roman centurion, they all took out their weapons and prepared to fight him.
Peter held the dagger tightly and stared at Yang Rui in front of him with his eyes and asked: "Who are you, Roman, are you here to stop us?"
Yang Rui said: "I'm not here to stop you, I'm here to give you suggestions."
Peter asked: "What advice?"
Yang Rui asked: "Now that Jesus is dead, what will you do in the future?"
No one could give an answer. They were all silent. Yang Rui said: "Well, since you have no choice, then listen to my suggestion."
Peter said, "Please speak."
Yang Rui said: "First of all, take good care of the descendants of Jesus. This is the most important thing you should do."
Peter said: "This is easy!"
Yang Rui continued: "After the death of Jesus, you will be the leader of Christianity. Continue to carry him forward, because your future is bright!"
Peter asked: "How can you be so sure?"
Yang Rui said: "As long as you persist, there will be light, and the Roman Empire will eventually convert to Christianity, as long as you can continue on this path."
Ya Ge said: "Jesus died and our faith was destroyed. How can we persevere?"
Yang Rui said: "Belief is just a kind of rhetoric. It is ultimately just a state of life. It depends on your own choice. The truth is in the hands of power. If you want to avoid being reviled by future generations, you must hold power! This is
Your Christianity is the only way out, and it is also the only way out for all religions, otherwise you will all be executed as heretics.”
Having said this, Yang Rui took one last look at the body of Jesus and said, "Leave this body to me. You can't take him away. For the sake of Magdalene and the descendants of Jesus."
Peter said: "The body of Jesus is missing, and the Romans will trace it. I have always disagreed with this approach, but Magdalene insisted on it."
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Can't you make up a lie?"
"Lies?" Peter was a little confused.
Yang Rui said: "You just say that Jesus was resurrected and went to heaven, so that your congregation will be more convinced that their beliefs are correct. Wouldn't it be better?"
Peter bowed to express his gratitude to Yang Rui and said: "Thank you for the reminder."
Accord suddenly said: "What will be done to the traitor Judas?"
Yang Rui said: "He is already dead. I helped him die in the field I bought with the money I got from betraying Jesus."
Peter said: "Thank you for your help. Please tell me your name, and I will write your deeds in the Bible."
Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "That's unnecessary, because I wrote that scripture and I gave it to Jesus."
While everyone was amazed, Yang Rui turned around and left. Without looking back, he said loudly: "Let's go quickly, the Romans will find out soon."
At the same time, Jesus' body disappeared along with Yang Rui.
Yang Rui returned to the temple, and Jesus' body was lying quietly in front of him. He stretched out his hand and used divine power to turn Jesus' body into a crystal clear cell, and threw it into the well. He looked at the
The cells were submerged in the warm water and disappeared into the depths. He said to Samael next to him: "His mission is over."
Samael said: "But your purpose has been achieved."
Yang Rui sighed and said, "That's just a small step. My goal is still far from being achieved."
Samael said: "Is it too much killing?"
