Someone started throwing things at Josu, and every one was followed by another, rotten apples, rotten eggs, vegetable clappers and hard stones rained down on Josu until the soldiers escorting him were hit by mistake Stop drinking when you can't stand it. Jesus closed his eyes, walked forward with shackles amidst the curses of all the people, crossed the streets of Salem from the temple square, and was escorted to the gate of Governor Maro's mansion.
Hearing the tsunami-like shouts from the mountains outside the mansion, Governor Maro realized that even if he wanted to keep Jesus alive, he might be the first to lose his official position if there was a riot here, so he decided to resign himself to fate and respond to the "people demand” and sentenced Jesus to death.
The crowd cheered deafeningly when the verdict was announced. Jesus closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "Flood, this is a great flood coming to me!"
Jesus was not simply put to death directly, he first had to suffer flogging. The whip was a leather belt studded with nails, and it beat his skin to pieces, and Jesus endured it silently. After flogging, he was escorted to the execution ground outside the city gate. The thugs appointed by the priests and the incited people still followed the execution team like a flood.
Someone even tried their best to humiliate Josu, and put a crown of thorny thorns and vines on his head, shouting: "Look, this is the King of Salem, the savior Messiah!" And spit in his face. The bruised and bruised Jesus was bleeding, and the bright red blood reflected a faint golden light in the sunlight.
According to the laws of the Roman Empire, the heinous criminals would be nailed to the cross with their feet pierced by large nails and their outstretched arms, and then they would die of sunburn and thirst. This is an unimaginably painful torture, and only the citizens of Maro are exempt from this terrible punishment-Maro citizens who commit capital crimes will also be executed, but they don't have to go to the cross.
As part of the punishment, the condemned prisoner had to personally carry the heavy cross to the execution ground. However, due to the torture of the thugs, the flesh and blood of Jesus was already scarred and staggered with the cross on his back. Even the escorting Maro soldiers couldn't stand it any longer, and called a pilgrim from other places to help Jesus carry the cross.
When the execution ground arrived, people put the cross in place, pressed the palms of Jesus’ outstretched arms forward, picked up a long nail and nailed it into his palm, blood continued to flow out…
Jesus was nailed to the cross, and the soldiers erected the cross and inserted it into the stone groove on the ground, hanging the holy son in the sun. The sun travels from the horizon to the middle of the sky, exactly halfway. This piercing pain was almost unbearable, but Josue did not faint, he watched and felt all this happening soberly.
Jesus was not the only one who was executed on this day, there were two crosses on the left and one on the right, on which were hung two other death row prisoners. The condemned prisoner on the left saw Jesus and asked, "Don't you claim to be the Messiah the savior? If that's the case, I should have prayed to you and asked you to save me. But you are now the same as me, Hang here and wait to die in pain."
The condemned prisoner on the right struggled and shouted: "Shut up!" Then he said to Jesus: "When you become king, please don't forget to save me."
Jesus has been crucified to die, how can he be saved? Unexpectedly, the death row prisoner on the cross would say such words at this very moment. Jesus finally showed his first smile today and said, "This is a special day, and you will enter heaven soon."
Under the scorching sun, Jesus' hands and feet were bleeding out along the iron nails, and the wounds all over his body were scabbed with blood. The crowd still hadn't dispersed, they gathered on the execution ground and scolded Jesus loudly.
The disciples of Jesus also squeezed into the crowd and came outside the cordon set up by the soldiers, their faces covered with tears. Jesus' mother also came, but with the support of the disciples, her body was unstable and tottering. The disciple John heard the voice of Jesus in his soul: "Please take care of my mother." John couldn't speak, so he could only nod silently.
At noon, the sun suddenly dimmed, the sky was covered with thick clouds, and the day seemed to be dusk. Jesus hung on the cross, bearing the pain of flesh and blood. He looked down at the crowd on the execution ground, and then raised his head to look straight into the distance. He happened to be able to see the outline of the magnificent temple in the city of Salem. He just watched quietly, feeling and feeling silently.
The sun moved behind the clouds, traveling half the distance from mid-heaven to the western horizon. All the angels in the kingdom of heaven were also silently watching this scene. The head of all the angels, Mei Danzuo, had already mixed into the crowd on the execution ground, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Medanzuo knew very well that what was crucified on the cross was the flesh and blood of mortals, and Jesus was enduring suffering just like mortals at this moment. He quietly pointed to a soldier on duty on the execution ground, and said in his heart: "It's over!"
The soldier suddenly stood up and raised the spear in his hand, unaware that the spear was changed by the key of fate. The spear pierced Jesus' rib, and the blood that flowed from the wound was pale gold in color. Jesus opened his mouth and said the last words: "I forgive them - they don't know what they're doing! Seeing that temple dome - it's mine!"
Yuesu finally died of anger, the soldier was still standing there in a daze holding the spear in his hand, and Medanzuo had already taken back the key of fate.
It was not only Jesus and the other two condemned prisoners who died on this day, Judas was also hanged on a tree, and the place was the hill where he led the soldiers to point out Jesus. Some say that he hanged himself in remorse for betraying Jesus, while others say that he was bought and killed because the shameful traitor was useless. But no one paid attention to Judas' death, as if mentioning this person's nameless symbolized betrayal and shame.
…
The execution ground was not full of incited mobs. When Jesus died, the crowd dispersed, and those followers who sincerely loved Jesus stayed behind with tears in their eyes. With the permission of Governor Maro, they untied the body of Jesus, wrapped it in white linen, and temporarily buried him in the garden of the backyard of a wealthy follower's home, and built a tomb with stones according to the traditional ceremony. .
There is also a god on the cloud watching invisibly. He witnessed all this with his own eyes, trying to pry into the mystery of God Amon's proof. He watched the burial of Jesus, but did not find that God Amon returned to the kingdom of heaven, so where did he go? Has the soul been reincarnated and lost in the trial cycle
Thinking of this possibility, the god felt puzzled, and at the same time showed a gloating smile. Just at this moment, a voice rang in his ear: "Apollo, you shouldn't be here!"
Apollo turned around, just in time to see Amon's figure appearing in front of him. Amon looked at him coldly, and said again: "I didn't forgive you, did you ever regard John the Baptist as me in rotation?"
Apollo knew something was wrong, but found that his whole body was surrounded by a golden halo. The golden light was like a chain, tightening more and more tightly, melting his body and spirit. Apollo let out an unwilling roar, and suddenly the golden light burst from the clouds!
…
In the middle of the night after Jesus died, everyone in Salem was awakened by a loud noise, and a burst of golden light shot out from the sky. The strong light made the city of Salem more dazzling than the day. The emperor was trembling slightly, and people rushed out of the house and into the street. The dazzling golden light in the sky made people unable to see clearly for a long time, and the huge sound made people unable to hear the sound for a long time. This situation was like the sky falling apart.
Many, many years later, when people talked about what happened on this day, they said that the execution of Jesus by the Salemites caused God's wrath. The situation at that time was that the god Amon appeared in the cloud, and Apollo fell on the spot.
…
When there was a loud noise in the sky, in the dark garden, Mary could clearly see the tomb of Jesus under the light that illuminated the sky and the earth. She was surprised to find that the stone that sealed the door of the tomb had been removed, and the tomb was empty and there was no body of Jesus.
How could Maria come here alone? After midnight is the Sabbath of the Salemites. The followers discussed that after the Sabbath, they would offer ointment and flowers to Jesus, and then properly bury the grass-buried body according to the traditional ceremony. But Maria couldn't rest in peace, she couldn't wait even a day, so she came to the garden alone in the middle of the night.
Jesus' body disappeared, and Mary hurriedly turned around to look around, but the golden light in the sky was still bursting out dazzlingly, and she was dazzled everywhere and couldn't see anything.
When the golden light gradually dimmed, the deafening echo from the sky also gradually disappeared. The tomb in the garden was once again shrouded in darkness. Maria caressed the removed tombstone, tears streaming down her face. On the execution ground during the day, she thought her tears had dried up, but at this moment she couldn't help crying again. Her shoulders twitched in the darkness, stifling her voice.
At this moment, Maria noticed a light coming from behind, and she heard a voice asking, "Why are you crying here?"
Maria turned around and saw two angels saluting her. They were shrouded in a soft light, and a pair of white wings stretched out from behind. They were Gabriel and George—the former guardian warriors and high priests of the Eguisis Temple.
Maria didn't know them, she replied with tears all over her face, "He disappeared, did you take him away?"
"Maria, I'm here." An extremely familiar voice replied, and Amon came out of the garden and stood in front of her with a smile.
His appearance was different from that of Jesus, not only was he much more handsome, but he also carried an indescribably divine aura. But for some reason, Maria recognized him at a glance—he was the Jesus whom she cried for!
Fear and sadness were thrown out of the sky in an instant, and Maria rushed over and fell into Amon's arms. Amon reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. Maria looked at his face in his arms and asked, "What should I call you?"
