Faith in the Light
In the early morning, the sun rose from the waves in the distance, and the ship moved along with the slightly cold wind. Zul'ra sat cross-legged on the deck, looking at the holy deed in his hand. The cover of the holy deed was made of metal and covered with iron. The chain is locked, but the pages inside are neatly cut parchment, which records the deeds and hymns of the Light written by Common one after another.☺🐯 💲🐉
Zul'ra read each poem carefully, caressing the words and sentences on the parchment, feeling the Qi in it, or the divine power. The Qi that Monk recognized comes from the soul, and the Light is closely related to human nature. The two have many similarities.
In addition to the Light's hymns, there are also many deeds recorded in the Sacred Deeds. Those the Light deeds are full of mysterious knowledge about the human body. Priests have been sorting out that knowledge from generation to generation over the years. Zul'ra has heard it from Sabra before, but now it is clearer.
Priest believes that there are three chakras in the human body. These chakras flow with the energy of life and the potential of the body. They are Chakra of Stillness located in the brain, Chakra of Blessing located in the throat and Chakra of Punishment located in the heart.
Based on the three chakras in the human body, Priests have acquired a series of spells. They use their voices to encourage their partners, use their spirits to call the Lights, mentally intimidate and attack enemies, and use penance to acquire some strange supernatural abilities, such as telekinesis, Mind Visions, etc.
According to Priest's chakra science, Zul'ra can easily think of the systematic understanding of the human body by traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the yoga chakra theory of ancient India. Those understandings all represent that no matter in which world, people are relentlessly pursuing the mysterious potential in the body.
After reading the last page of parchment, Zul'ra put the Holy Deed together and began to close his eyes and think. The knowledge contained in this Holy Deed was very useful to him, but it was given by Alonsus, that old Priest invited himself to be a guest this time, and also sent a holy deed to Sabra. It is not difficult to guess the intention, so that the Light's faith can enter Trolls's society.
Alonsus's intentions are not necessarily bad. Zul'ra can guess his idea. When the creatures of Azeroth maintain the same belief, everyone can find some common topics, which can reduce wars and make it easier to unite when facing foreign enemies. But that is an ideal result after all.
Zul'ra can understand Alonsus's ideals, but he is not very accepting of them. The Light's religion tends to be monotheism, while he tends to atheism and the theory of annihilation. Even those Loas he has come into contact with are just a kind of supernatural life in his opinion.
"Zul'ra Jin." The footsteps came closer accompanied by the call. Zul'ra opened his eyes in response and looked at Sabra walking from the side.
"Are you in a hurry?" Zul'ra looked at Sabra walking towards him. He couldn't help but smile and patted the boat plank beside him, while handing over the holy deed.
"No, no." Sabra looked at Zul'ra's gesture and sat down with some restraint. He took the holy deed with some embarrassment. After a brief pause, he spoke again.
"Zul'ra Jin, I have to say that I don't understand many things in this holy book. I think the teacher gave it to you rather than to me."
"To me, it is filled with knowledge, but to you, it has extraordinary meaning." Zul'ra looked at the embarrassed Jungle Trolls and couldn't help but smile. Alonsus might think so, but after all, the things are not his.
"Do you understand the knowledge here?" Sabra's eyes flashed. The contents of this sacred book seemed to him like a poetry and storytelling session. This is also a common feature of religions, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.
"I will teach you now that I have understood something, but I want to know first, what is the meaning of the Light in your eyes?" Zul'ra looked at with twinkling eyes. Jungle Trolls couldn't help but smile and nodded, and asked a question at the same time, Sabra was converted from voodoo to the Light. To what extent does his belief in the Light reach?
"Well, in my eyes, the Light is very quiet and warm, he is like..." Sabra listened to Zul'ra's words and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then He began to think, he was tired of the bloody primitive life of Jungle Trolls, and accidentally changed his letter to the Light. For him, the Light could make his heart feel safe.
"I am like a ship floating on the sea, and the Light, to me, is like a harbor where I can anchor." Sabra scratched his red hair and tried to write a metaphor.
"Then what do you think he can bring to our tribe?" Zul'ra looked at Sabra and asked.
"To our ethnic group? I don't know." Sabra was slightly stunned after listening to Zul'ra's words. Although he was tired of Jungle Trolls's primitive and bloody life and chose to leave the ethnic group's belief in the Light, he could not find a reason to refute the voodoo belief, so he had no intention of bringing the Light into the ethnic group.
"Well, I understand, it's pretty good. You didn't define the Light randomly. I will teach you slowly, starting from the first one." Zul'ra looked at who was slightly stunned. Sabra couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Sabra probably has not received the education of the Priest system, so he doesn't have the blind faith that humans have in the Light. This is good.
"First of all, you have to know that the Light is not omnipotent." Zul'ra is generally not hostile to religion, but it is very opposed to blind faith. Today's human beings are in a state of blind faith towards the Light, believe that the Light is omnipotent, which makes them ignore the common sense of medical drugs. When Arthas faces the plague of Stratholme, what they think of is not to separate and isolate the infected, but to use massacre to solve the plague.
"Of course the Light is not omnipotent." Sabra nodded naturally. As a Trolls who converted to the Light midway, he broke away from his previous voodoo belief. He understood this very clearly and did not have the blind faith of humans.
"That's good, this is the basic point. As for some knowledge of the Light, I will teach you slowly, and you..." Zul'ra looked at who took it for granted. Sabra couldn't help but nodded. Not blindly believing is the best foundation. He will teach you later. Of course, he also has to learn slowly. As for the spread of the Light in Trolls, you need to consider it.
"Zul'ra Jin, you'd better come and take a look." Just when Zul'ra was considering whether to tell Sabra about the Light's news, suddenly a rush of footsteps came from the rear stern of the ship. They were two Trolls sailors, both of whom were hunched over. They asked Zul'ra to go and take a look at the back.
Looking at the appearance of the two sailors, Zul'ra couldn't help but stand up with a frown, and followed his instructions to the deck at the stern of the ship. He saw two black spots approaching on the sea behind. They were two ships. They were coming here, but somehow, they kept twisting in their progress, and on their route, the sea surface jumped from time to time.
"It's pirates." Zul'ra looked at the ships gradually becoming clearer behind, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. They were two ships, two ships being chased. Those splashes on the sea were caused by the artillery of the chasing ships behind them.
Thank you for the reward from Evil Moon Comet, and thank you for your support.
