Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 297: The Wall of Sighs and the Temple

The turmoil caused downstairs did not affect Jiang Ning. He just sat in the wooden barrel and enjoyed the service of four beauties with enchanting bodies.

Not long after, bang bang bang knocked on the door.

"gentlemen!"

Frowning slightly, he shouted: "Come in!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Haputan with a big belly and two followers behind him. They all hold a generous gift in their hands.

"Is there something wrong?"

Haputan took out a sweat towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with an apologetic smile: "Welcome to our store, that guy just now, I hope I didn't bother you. It is our store that let you see this unpleasant thing while taking a bath." Therefore, I specially present some gifts, hoping to make you satisfied!"

Jiang Ning didn't speak, just looked at him.

Haputan began to sweat continuously on his forehead. Just when he was feeling uneasy, Jiang Ning said, "Okay, I accept the gift."

"I hope you can get a good rest in the future. If you have other orders, please do so. Our store will definitely do our best to meet your requests!"

"kindness!"

Haputan said: "Then I will go down, I hope you have a good time tonight." After speaking, under Jiang Ning's signal, Haputan exited the room with a sense of relief.

"Allah!" After Haputan went downstairs, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. However, after the gift was presented, he felt that Jiang Ning had no other malicious intentions. As for Abdul, although his family is very powerful. But, I'm afraid I don't dare to provoke the wizards of the Tang Dynasty! The scenes of more than ten years ago are still fresh in the memory of the Arabs!

"These Arabs seem to have been frightened away by me at the beginning!" Jiang Ning was very satisfied with the result and took a bath. He stood up directly, and four young, beautiful, and hot women stood up from the barrel. The four of them took dry linen cloths, carefully wiped the water droplets on Jiang Ning's body, and then walked towards the big bed...

...

Early the next morning, Jiang Ning had a simple, but incomparably luxurious breakfast compared to others. After eating, we walked towards the famous 'Wall of Sighs', also known as the Wailing Wall.

...

In the 10th century BC (about 965 BC), after David's son Solomon succeeded to the throne,

The first Jewish temple, Solomon's Temple, was built on Mount Zion, the capital, commonly known as the "First Temple". There was an endless stream of believers who came here for pilgrimage and offering sacrifices, thus forming the center of ancient Jewish religious and political activities.

In 586 BC, the First Temple was unfortunately destroyed by the invading Babylonians. The "First Temple" built for Jehovah by King Solomon, the son of King David, was burned, and more than 40,000 Jews were taken captive, known as the "Babylonian Prisoner" in history.

After living in exile for half a century, the Jews returned home one after another, and later built the Second Temple on the site of the First Temple.

In 135 A.D., Hadrian put down the Second Anti-Roman Revolution, and the Jews were forced to go far away and scattered among the nations. In the Byzantine era, Jews were allowed to come to the Western Wall once a year on the anniversary of the destruction of the temple to weep and pray for the revival of the kingdom, and the name "Wailing Wall" spread like wildfire.

In the 7th century AD, the Arab Empire established by the Arabs occupied Palestine. Due to the tolerant religious policy within the empire, the Wailing Wall was not deliberately damaged, but was properly protected. Therefore, the Western Wall still exists after thousands of years of history.

Judaism, regard this wall as the first holy place!

...

Jiang Ning came here alone, wearing a black robe, a leather waistcoat, and a wide hood covering most of his face. Weird attire, even if you don't want to attract attention.

However, although those guard soldiers wanted to get close, as long as they got close to Jiang Ning's side, they would fall to the ground inexplicably.

Fear was spreading, and countless people retreated when they saw such a strange scene.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning's figure suddenly disappeared before their eyes.

...

"Inside the Wall of Sighs, there really is a hole in the sky!" Looking at the surrounding environment, Jiang Ning agreed.

When approaching the Wall of Sighs, Jiang Ning felt a strange power, which was a strange spell between enchantments. When he was meditating on his feelings, he touched one of the nodes and was then transported to this special space.

This space is very vast, covering an area of ​​about ten hectares! In the most central position of this space, there is a dilapidated and damaged building.

There are broken walls, dead branches and leaves, scattered stone pillars, broken stone pavement and smoky ruins everywhere!

"This is the first holy temple that Solomon built for Jehovah?" Looking at the broken walls, the scattered and broken stone pillars and slabs, the collapsed walls and roof, and the blackened smoky trace. It shows that this place seems to be the first temple that was burned by the Babylonians.

Walking slowly in the ruins, looking at the blurred and dilapidated religious murals. There are gods, angels and servants painted on it, as well as religious poems.

boom!

With a wave of his sleeves, a strong force appeared out of nowhere, and the broken walls and ruins blocking the way were thrown away. The cleared ground revealed a long-dilapidated stone path. Following the path, Jiang Ning walked towards the interior of the temple. Looking at the interior decoration, Jiang Ning's eyes seem to have traveled through time and space through bits and pieces, and came to the moment when the First Temple was just built.

He seemed to see a king standing in front of the temple, and the observers saw the temple rise from scratch and slowly rise up on the land bit by bit. They seemed to see the king again, kneeling respectfully in the temple, praying to the supreme god in their belief. Then, the screen changed, and countless soldiers rushed in, with swords and spears on their waists, armor on their bodies, and torches in their hands. They rushed in viciously, killing anyone they saw, and robbing things they saw.

Remove all the tributes to the gods, gold, platinum, gems, and spices. Then, with kerosene in their hands, they poured it in the temple, not letting go of every corner, and then threw countless torches over. The splashing sparks ignited the kerosene in an instant, and the raging flames enveloped the entire sacred palace at an extremely fast speed.

The ruthless fire devoured this large-scale holy place, and the fire burned for several days and nights. In the end, the walls collapsed, the roof caved in, and the stone pillars toppled over...it became the picture in front of you.

...

"That was the scene of the Babylonians burning the First Temple just now!" If you refer to the content of the scene you saw in a trance just now, then those vicious soldiers are the Babylonians who captured Jerusalem.

"Civilization will always be destroyed by barbarism!" Although the Kingdom of Babylon is one of the ancient civilizations, the scene just now is not much different from the barbaric invaders. The only difference is that his identity as an ancient civilization is well known to the public in later generations. Everyone is nostalgic and fantasizing about the Hanging Garden. As for the burning of the First Temple, who will know about it? However, for the conquerors, there is nothing wrong with this. Jiang Ning just occasionally feels that a great building cannot be preserved, and it is a pity that it was destroyed like that. However, such thoughts are only fleeting.

Xiang Yu set fire to Xianyang, and burned the capital city built since Qin Xiaogong's time. In addition, the Afang Palace, which cost countless people and material resources, was also burned. The British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and China lost too many treasures.

However, Jiang Ning also did the same thing as Xiang Yu. He set fire to Baghdad!

Humans will only pity and sympathize with those who are not hostile to themselves. I will hate those scum who destroy the treasures of their own country, but they don't care about the things of other countries.

Therefore, Jiang Ning only had a hint of emotion, and then he left it behind.

He stood on the spot, closed his eyes and felt, feeling the throbbing that appeared in the dark.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment! The space also seems to be static! Everything, under his meditation perception, is so clearly visible, and the truth seems to be within reach.

Suddenly, somewhere in the dark, a bright light flashed past.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, an ancient bronze portal slowly opened!
