The first one: Q&A between the old man and the shepherd boy
In the wilderness of the Middle East, a shepherd boy builds a campfire in the bright moonlight, and the sheep not far away lie quietly on the grass, and the shepherd dog snuggles quietly next to the shepherd boy. Suddenly, the shepherd dog kept barking wildly toward the west, but it seemed to be a little frightened, and the shepherd boy looked at the sound of the shepherd dog and saw only an old man, riding on a horse, with a head somewhat like a rabbit and towering ears. The old man had a childlike beard, a silver-white beard more than two cubits long, and seemed to have fallen asleep on horseback, glowing bright purple around his body. The shepherd boy had never seen such a good-looking horse and such a good-looking old man, and his heart was full of curiosity, and he slowly walked to the old man with a wooden staff. By this time, the horse had stopped, and the shepherd boy blinked his big eyes with long eyelashes and looked at it curiously.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked around, as if to identify where this was, the gaze finally fell on the shepherd boy's body, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the eyes refracted the wisdom of the light, not far away the bonfire print lined the old man's face more and more bright, the shepherd boy asked the old man timidly: "My name is Joseph, who are you?" Where did it come from? ”
The old man smiled and looked at little Joseph and said, "I am from Egypt, and I am going to China." The old man's voice was loud, but with some weariness.
"Can you give me some water to drink?" The old man asked.
"Of course you can!" After saying this, the shepherd boy hurried to the campfire and handed it to the old man with a sheepskin water bottle. The old man smiled and took the kettle, unhurriedly opened the plug and drank it, and after drinking, he put the plug on the lid and handed it to the shepherd boy.
"Little Joseph, how old are you?" The old man asked.
"I'm exactly ten years old today." The shepherd boy answered excitedly.
"What are you riding?" It seemed to be a horse, but it was different from what I had ever seen. ”
"Ou, it's a horse, it's a Horse of Huaxia, it's called Fei Suo." The old man replied.
"It's funny, obviously it's a horse, but it's called a flying rabbit, but it does look like a rabbit." You look different from the adults here, where is Huaxia? The shepherd boy asked with a grin.
"Hahaha, Huaxia is more than 20,000 miles away from here, and it is a whole distance of one continent." The old man laughed and replied. "It took me half a year to stop and go from Huaxia to here."
"Gone for half a year!" The shepherd boy opened his mouth wide, unable to believe his ears. I thought to myself, how far is that? "What's there?" Are there sheep and pastures too? ”
"Oh, of course there is, but it doesn't look like the sheep you put there."
When the shepherd boy heard this, he was interested, "Can you tell me about the things there?" ”
The old man looked at the moon in the sky, and then at the shepherd boy, whose long eyelashes seemed to say, "Promise me, stay and talk to me." ”
"Well, it's getting late, I'll talk to you tonight." After saying this, he leaned down from the horse, picked up the cloth pocket on the horse's back, and gently patted the horse's back, and the horse took a few steps and ate alone.
The two men came to the campfire and sat down on the floor, and the shepherd boy also took a piece of bread from his cloth bag, broke it open and gave it to the old man, "I only have one cake, and I will give you half of it." ”
The old man took the half of the bread and said, "You gave me the bread, so what will you eat tomorrow?"
"It's all right, I'll be home tomorrow night, I've been out for five days, and tomorrow night I'll be home just in time for the Sabbath." The shepherd boy replied.
The old man looked at little Joseph with relief and secretly praised himself.
"Can you tell me about Huaxia?" I grew up and wanted to go out and see. ”
"What are you going to do when you grow up?" The old man asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Little Joseph was a little lost, but suddenly his eyes lit up, "I want to be a respectable person like Abraham." "The look in his eyes was full of joy.
"Oh, that's the great man of your ancestors, respected and loved, well, yes, a good idea." The old man seemed satisfied with little Joseph's answer.
"Isn't Abraham your ancestor?" Little Joseph asked doubtfully.
"Oh, neither, but we all have the same ancestors, and they all came from there." The old man pointed to the moon, "That place called the Garden of Eden." ”
Little Joseph was even more confused, "The Garden of Eden? How could it be on the moon?"
"Yes, child, the Garden of Eden is on the moon."
"It's strange, I've never heard of anything like this. Can you tell me about it?" Little Joseph pleaded eagerly.
"Well, that was a long time ago!" The old man looked up at the moon, and little Joseph couldn't help but look at the moon involuntarily.
"At that time, the moon was very close to us, people called the moon "heaven", the gods and prophets and the Garden of Eden were inside, the people of the whole earth gathered under it, and people even wanted to build a stone tower to climb the moon, and when they were about to build it on the moon, people's language was suddenly different, and the stone tower could not be built, so people scattered all over the world. It was also then that the moon began to drift farther and farther away from us. ”
"Is there anyone else living there in the moon?" Little Joseph asked eagerly.
"Of course there is, otherwise why is it so far away from us?" I just don't want to be disturbed by us. The old man replied affirmatively.
"It is also because the moon is gradually leaving us that the original whole of the earth has been divided into countless pieces, the climate has changed dramatically, and plants have become extinct in large numbers, which has caused animals and our ancestors to migrate continuously." At that time, the continent was divided into ten continents, East Sheng Shenzhou, South Zhanbu Continent, West Niuhe Continent, and North Julu Continent. Each continent is divided into two small continents, plus the central continent has a total of nine continents, and the nine continents are the whole world. Originally, it was supposed to be ten continents, but when the land was constantly divided, one continent was sunk, that is, the Great Western Continent, so now there are only nine continents instead of ten continents. The place I came from was Chixian Shenzhou in the Southern Zhanbu Continent, and because it lost contact with other continents, it was re-divided into nine continents within the Chixian Shenzhou. When the old man had finished speaking, he took a sip of water from the sheepskin kettle, broke open a piece of bread and put it in his mouth, and looked thoughtfully at little Joseph.
Little Joseph was stunned to hear this, he had never heard such a thing, for a moment he did not know what to say, and after a while he asked timidly, "How do you know this, the Bible and the rabbi never said this." ”
"Hahaha, now Chixian Shenzhou is called Huaxia, I am the king of the Yellow Kingdom of Huaxia "Great Lian", the former emperor Yu Chan is located in my father Boyi, because of his advanced age, and want to complete this "Mountain and Sea Map", he gave the throne Zen to the son of the former emperor Qi, my father died after completing the book in six years, and before he died, he instructed me: This map is copied from nine copies, and I want to travel around Kyushu according to the "Mountain and Sea Map", and dedicate this "Mountain and Sea Map" to the king of Kyushu, so that they know that our first life was originally an ancestor. ”
