After walking out of the ring cathedral, Lomea picked out a peppercorn from the bag on his waist.
Her fingertips lightly touched the fragile shell. The shell of this spice as valuable as gold was so thin.
To be promoted to an angel and return to one's hometown is the ultimate meaning of a spirit's life. It has always been her hope. For this reason, she has never been contaminated with dirty things mentioned in the scriptures such as money.
Lomea looked at the pepper in his hand, stunned.
"What are you thinking about? Luo Mei." Chen Yin noticed her confused look.
Luo Mei'a shakily took the pepper into the palm of her hand, held it tightly, and said quickly: "It's nothing...it's nothing, sir."
"You have to tell me," Chen Yin saw the confusion in her pale brown eyes, "because I want to hear it."
"I...I..." Lomea lowered her head, looking like she didn't want to answer.
But Chen Yin grabbed one of her hands and forced her to say, "You have to say it."
"I... don't know, don't know..."
Miss Pepper's voice trembled slightly, and Chen Yin grabbed her hand, reminding her of what Chen Yin said not long ago when facing the bishop's diary.
Suddenly, she thought of the family waiting for trial. In that moldy worship room, an old man had been reciting scriptures, doing homework and praying for a thousand years, waiting for the arrival of the messenger mentioned by the King of Kings.
Her conscience suffered unspeakable beatings and torture.
Chen Yin gently hugged Miss Pepper this time and stroked the ends of her dark brown hair.
"You can say it slowly, logically or illogically, whatever you say is fine."
Lomea gradually calmed down due to her lover's actions. Her heart was beating hard and her neck was red.
Luomea was quiet for a while, and then suddenly said, "God said... this is the judgment she sends to the world, because she wants to accomplish what she wants people to accomplish. And because of her will There is no passage on the ground.”
Pepper Girl recited the words in the scriptures. For more than two hundred years, she had memorized these words by heart and could not make any mistakes.
"Well..." Chen Yin responded softly.
"God says...the righteous, the believers, the good are her delight; the unjust, the unbelieving, the unkind are an abomination to her."
"Um..."
"People on earth must obey her law and will, for my law is good and my will is good, God says."
"Then what?"
"Because... the world does not understand her laws and will, she will bring down judgment on the earth and make some people suffer punishment to warn the world on earth.
This is also what Saint Harun said: 'For more people. '"
Chen Yin listened and knew that the saint Harun she spoke of was the same Harun who had debated scripture with St. Venakana.
"anything else?"
Lomea raised his face and said with a trembling voice: "God said... they suffered temporary sins, but will give them infinite grace in the eternal future. But... I don't understand, I don't understand."
"What don't you understand? My pepper girl."
"What God calls 'momentary sin'... has lasted for thousands of years." There was a hint of crying in her voice.
"Isn't this something you already knew in the scriptures?" Chen Yin sneered, "Oh, you can only feel it if you see their suffering with your own eyes?"
At the end, Chen Yin rubbed the corners of her tearful eyes and kissed her forehead.
Lomea heard that he was sarcastic towards her, but she felt that his movements were gentle.
She nodded awkwardly and ashamedly.
Pepper Girl slowed down and said softly: "Saint Harun once said: 'The judgment of the King of my kings is good.'"
"Why?" Chen Yin asked.
"Saint Harlan used a metaphor to explain it." Pepper Girl continued, she was extremely familiar with these.
"Oh? What metaphor? Tell me."
"'The world is like God's beloved horse, and judgment is like a temporary thorn.
Don't you have a horse, and don't you want to give it a short spurt to teach it to run faster and more steadily?
This is what judgment is all about. '"
After hearing this metaphor, Chen Yin said: "Oh, there's more, just say it, Luomea."
Lomea nodded imperceptibly and continued: "Some believers used this to ask Saint Harun questions."
"What did you ask?" Chen Yin asked at the right time.
"This is what he asked: 'In this case, why does our King want the righteous and the good to suffer? Did the thorns strike where they shouldn't have been struck?'
Saint Harlan responded this way: 'Does God not want to make the righteous more righteous and the good more good? '"
"A very philosophical answer." Chen Yin said.
"I...I have always thought this way...but...even though I think so, I know what Saint Harun said, but I still..."
Luo Mei's brown eyes drifted upward and accidentally met Chen Yin's eyes, which seemed to be asking her to encourage her to blurt out her true thoughts.
No matter how heavy and contrary those words are to the spirit messenger...
"But I'm still... shaken." Lomea finally said.
The carriage fell silent for a moment. Luo Mea was holding pepper in her hand, her round shoulders were twitching in Chen Yin's arms, and the sound of the wheels rolling could be clearly heard.
"Have you almost forgotten it?" After a while, Chen Yin asked.
"Forgot, what did you forget?" Luo Mei'a asked in surprise.
"The reason why you came with me in the first place, wasn't you to prevent me from obtaining the ancient saying 'heaven'?" Chen Yin rubbed her forehead and said warmly: "I want to make fun of you."
"It's up to you, sir." Pepper Girl said. She didn't know what kind of expression she had.
She couldn't help but hug him. The pepper in the palm of my hand was still tightly clenched.
Chen Yin leaned close to her ear and said again: "You don't know what I've seen."
Pepper Girl raised her face and looked at herself blankly.
The wheels rolled on the weed-covered avenue of the Holy Capital, the carriage swayed slightly, and various dilapidated and miserable scenes of despair passed through the windows. And this, according to pagan records, is all because of the love our king has for the world. resulting from the trial.
Chen Yin looked back at Luomea tenderly.
Yes, she doesn't know.
She didn't know that she had seen Christopher, who walked out of the church and forgave everyone in Silver Cana, and went to the stake for others; she had seen old Figg living in the slums, the man who made up scriptures, for a man with no name. The boy stepped forward; I had seen Moses. After experiencing all the suffering in the world, he led the people who had not lost hope out of Egypt, which oppressed them...
I also saw St. Venakana who had shed all her silver blood. During the ceremony to obtain the prophecy, I saw that she was suffering from the torture of countless dead souls, but her face was so calm.
Luomea looked at herself blankly.
The pepper fell from her palm.
"She never cared about the emotions of the world."
Chen Yin’s voice was calm,
"But I know that people deserve to be loved."
