He shrugged.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you treating me like an encyclopedia?"
"I'm not an eyewitness to ancient Egypt, so how could I know so many details?"
"I knew that the history books eventually recorded the Ten Plagues. As for the process, I can only continue to watch the illusion."
Mai Xuan smiled bitterly, but his eyes were shining with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.
"But..."
He changed the subject and his eyes became deep.
"Maybe... the Pharaoh regretted it halfway through?"
This bold guess was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
It caused waves in everyone's heart.
But the question remains unresolved, and only by continuing to explore in depth can we find the answer.
So, Feng Feng led the other five people and followed closely behind the Pharaoh's chariot, which symbolized power and majesty.
…
Shuttle through the rolling sand and dust along the Nile River.
The sky seemed to sense their urgency and determination.
Suddenly.
The sky was overcast and the wind was blowing hard.
Then, hailstones larger than the toughest cactus balls in the desert poured down.
It slammed into the ground mercilessly, shattering the armor worn by the loyal guards.
It seems that even steel cannot withstand the wrath of nature.
The makeshift iron umbrella seemed so small and fragile in the face of the fury of nature.
They trembled and made harsh creaking sounds, as if they would collapse at any moment.
The high priest's brows were furrowed, his eyes full of worry.
He turned to face Pharaoh and said in a low, heavy voice:
"O king, the day we agreed on has not yet arrived. Will Moses really show up here ahead of time?"
In fact, he wanted to ask:
Does this ice disaster indicate that God’s wrath is difficult to contain?
But he was the high priest and couldn't say it at all.
Pharaoh's eyes were extremely firm, as if they could penetrate the storm before him and look straight into the unknown distance.
"He'll come!"
Pharaoh's voice was firm and powerful, with unquestionable confidence.
"Moses, I grew up together in the shadow of the palace."
"I understand his thoughts better than anyone else!"
"As long as the desire to save the Hebrew people still burned in his heart, he would never miss any opportunity to end this disaster prematurely."
After saying that.
The Pharaoh straightened his back, like a warrior ready to face a challenge.
He shouted at the mighty Nile River with all his might:
"Moses! Come out!"
"I know you're nearby, watching all this!"
"As long as you are willing to quell this natural disaster, I, Pharaoh, hereby promise to immediately release the Hebrews and let them regain their freedom!"
As soon as the words fell, it seemed as if even the forces of nature were moved.
I saw a crack in the ice on the river surface not far away.
Then, a figure slowly walked out of the frozen blood-red river. It was Moses.
He was wearing a cloak, his eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.
"Okay, Ramses, I accept your proposal. I hope you can keep your promise."
Although Moses' voice was soft, it penetrated the storm and reached everyone's heart.
When Pharaoh heard this, he finally felt relieved.
An unprecedented sense of confidence emerged spontaneously.
He raised his hands to the sky and declared:
"I swear by Pharaoh, by heaven and earth, by everything in it, that if Moses can make this hail stop."
"I will fulfill my promise and restore the Hebrews to their land of freedom!"
At this moment, the wind on the banks of the Nile seemed to have subsided, foreshadowing the dawn of hope and reconciliation.
Moses' face instantly lit up with an irrepressible light of joy.
It was a mixture of relief and hope.
However, he knew very well that this power did not come from himself, but was given by the gods hanging high above the nine heavens.
He could not gain the power to stop the disaster before the seventh day.
Faced with Pharaoh's plea, he was powerless to directly interfere with God's will.
But he was unwilling to let innocent lives continue to suffer, so he came up with a stopgap measure.
"Okay, Pharaoh, please give me one day."
There is a firm commitment in Moses' words.
Then, his body seemed to be wrapped by an invisible force and turned into a wisp of light smoke.
He instantly disappeared in the direction of the royal city, leaving behind only a series of hurried and mysterious footprints that gradually blurred in the dust.
Seeing this, the high priest's eyes flashed with anxiety and excitement.
He could hardly wait to report to Pharaoh:
"Your Majesty, we witnessed with our own eyes the direction Moses left!"
"He was in such a hurry, he must have been eager to pray to the Supreme Being to stop this disaster."
A bold idea arose in the high priest's mind.
Perhaps, they can follow Moses' footsteps and find the god who controls everything in heaven and earth, thus completely resolving this crisis!
However, Pharaoh's eyes were unusually calm.
He shook his head, his tone filled with helplessness and awe.
"The ice and rocks falling from the sky are still falling without stopping. How can our footsteps compare to the height of the sky?"
"Besides, even if we catch up, how can we compete with the gods?"
Pharaoh's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the enthusiasm in the high priest's heart.
It also woke up everyone present.
then.
This group of ragged and scarred people set out on their journey home again.
Their armor was badly damaged by the hail.
His body was covered with scars from hail.
But their steps were extremely firm.
…
Moses' promise was indeed effective.
The sky gradually restrained its angry tears in the afterglow of dusk.
The hailstones seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving only the astonished and expectant gazes of the entire city.
Before night fell, the cold air had quietly retreated, as if it was nature's endless mercy and forgiveness to the Hebrews.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone upon the royal city of Egypt.
The whole world seemed to be given new life.
The snow melted quickly, turning into trickles that moistened the long-dry land.
The temperature is rising at an incredible rate, and the enthusiasm of summer has embraced the land again, bringing long-lost warmth and hope.
Pharaoh told everyone what he and Moses had promised.
Let the people gather all the Hebrews together and wait for him to deliver the Hebrews into Moses' hands and fulfill his promise.
The news spread like wildfire, and the people erupted in waves of excited cheers and tears.
For the civilians who have been living in fear and despair for a long time,
This is not only a signal of liberation, but also the dawn of rebirth.
