Compared to the situation in the slave market, where the King of the East was having a heated conversation with the young noble Su'kal, there was great dissatisfaction and resentment in the Second Temple at this time.
"The Second Temple is a sacred place dedicated to Nansai, the goddess of dream interpretation. The reason why Lagash has a great temple and a prosperous city-state comes from the conversation between Nansai and King Gudea. This temple
Is it to commemorate Nansai’s achievements, but it should be used as a place of teaching by foreigners?”
"I cannot accept it. Lord High Priest, please lead us to the palace, and together with the high priests of the great temple Eninnu Temple and the third temple Ibugar Temple, we can make a solemn protest to the Great One!"
"The high priest of the third temple Ibugar Temple is here!"
It was most of the priest class that had objections to the King of the East occupying the temple, not just the priests of the Second Temple. The high priest of the Third Temple arrived at the sacrificial hall of the Second Temple and saw what was happening.
The high priest of the Second Temple used the liver of a white lamb to perform divination.
"Great Enhaiduana! Daughter of the gods, poet of praise! Please come with me to the palace and resist this act of contempt for you."
The high priest of the Third Temple is a typical middle-aged Sumerian man with curly hair and a curly beard.
"I think it is definitely not the right thing to do to allow foreign doctrines to spread in the sacred land of Mesopotamia! I heard the priests of your temple say that in the land of the King of the East, the system is different from ours
It’s not the same. They don’t have slaves, and the boundary between the people and the nobility is not clear. There is no dignity at the top and no respect at the bottom.”
"It was simply a chaotic and uncivilized land. When the God of Gods came to the world, he set the hierarchy and hierarchy for the world! The sky appeared first, then the earth, then the air, then the moon, and finally
It’s the sun.”
"But in the land in the east, the sky and the earth are blurred, and the sun and the moon dare to appear side by side in the air. This is a huge threat to our status."
The high priest of the Third Temple was talking eloquently, but the beautiful woman he was looking at was only concentrating on cutting off the liver of the white sheep. This made him feel ignored, but he did not dare to attack because of the scene in front of him.
This woman's status is very noble, she is not just a priest of a city-state in Lagash.
If there is a person named Su Qin in the later generations in the East who is worthy of the seal of the Six Kingdoms, then the woman in front of me is equivalent to the ancient Su Qin on the Mesopotamian plain.
Enhaiduana, the daughter of the former King of Uruk "Ur Ning Jin", inherited the lineage of the God of Heaven and the King of the Next World, served as the high priest in several city-states, and was the leader of these city-states.
She came to Lagash and served as the high priest of the second temple, the Nansai Temple, and wrote poems and hymns of praise for these gods.
Fortunately, this silence did not last long. After Enheduana completely cut off the liver of the white sheep, she said in a somewhat unhappy tone:
"I am just a praiser walking among the city-states. The decisions of the kings of the city-states have nothing to do with me. And a few nights ago, Nankamu and the others had already gone to meet the great man, but they were still driven back."
"If you want to go, go by yourself. The King of the East will come to my temple soon. In front of the foreign king, he must show his magnanimity. Even if he no longer has the dignity and image of a king, you must
Always remember, after all, this is a king who rules over a distant land."
"Besides, he is a god."
The high priest of the Third Temple snorted twice: "Even if it is a god, it is not our god. We will not worship a foreign god, just like the god of the Akkadians, we will not serve it."
."
"Since you don't want to go with us, please forgive me for disturbing you."
Enheduana stood up and said goodbye to him. Afterwards, after performing the divination ceremony of interpreting the Aries dream, she found some of the priests who stormed the palace that day.
"Why isn't Nankam here?"
"Nan Kam is in his room and doesn't come out much. This state has lasted for several days."
A priest told Enhaiduana that Nankamu was given a "book" that could be read by the King of the East, and he seemed to be deeply involved in it. Even if he came out occasionally, he would take the book with him, and he was even in a state of being distracted.
, they suspected that it was an Eastern disaster writing that could capture people's minds.
"Oh, is it the clay tablet of the King of the East? Nankamu didn't tell me such an important thing?"
"No, it's not a clay tablet, it's a book."
"Books? I thought this was the name of the clay tablet, isn't it?"
Enheduana's brows moved slightly, a look of curiosity on her beautiful face.
So she found Nankam, took other priests, and approached his room. At this time, she heard many voices in her ears, as if some sacrificial chapter was being read aloud, but the pronunciation of the words was completely different from the local ones.
Some of the priests around them gradually looked suspicious and whispered:
"Is this the spell in the Book of Eastern Woes?"
"Yes, it must be so. When the King of the East came to Lagash, Nergal star emitted a bright red light. This was a sign of a catastrophe, but the great man did not believe it, and was deceived by the King of the East.
."
The surrounding priests were a little worried and even started to move. At this time, Enheduana stopped them. She listened carefully to these words. Although the pronunciation was strange, it did not seem to contain any fluctuations in divine power, just ordinary words.
It's just recitation, and there are regular intervals between each word.
"This is not a spell."
Nheduana is sure.
"I have written many hymns and heard various expressions. I know what this is. It must be something like a warning, or the preface of an article, and some should be similar to proverbs.
s things."
Again, one more word?
Nan Kam was studying the dictionary day and night. He could already speak the preface of the Chinese dictionary proficiently and fully understand its meaning. This took him a lot of time. Fortunately, the preface did not
Not much, and the meaning is not difficult to understand.
"When people are first born, their nature is good."
"But even if the nature is the same, what you learn will make the nature far away."
"Well, it shouldn't be far away. The word should be 'far', but it seems that in different sentences, it will have different meanings. One word has multiple meanings. I still need to continue to learn the rest."
He basically understood the meaning of the preface, which was indeed a warning. Then he flipped to the back pages of the dictionary, where there were similar warnings and proverbs, and he had already learned a few more sentences in them.
