Chapter 473: Three Doctors

As the Worship of God Sect faded into obscurity, the days seemed to return to tranquility.

After another New Year passed.

Yu Lin's mission timer reached zero.

Accompanied by his thoughts.

The fish formed from the Myth Book in his mind plunged headfirst into the river of time.

WhiteLight flared, then vanished.

Yu Lin's figure disappeared within the room.

【Next Wandering Myth countdown: May】

【Myth is: Holy Son Descends】

【Mission: Perform Baptism for Jesus】

【Reward: Trait—Holy】

When Yu Lin reappeared, he was already on a hillside.

A wind brushed the wilderness with a sigh at his ears, accompanied by faint sheep‑bell chimes.

Looking out, the view was expansive.

The sky was a near‑transparent azure, dotted with a few wool‑white cloud strands; the sun hung high, shedding bright yet not scorching light.

On the distant horizon, rolling hills displayed the land's characteristic sun‑bleached, pale yellow‑brown hue.

His gaze pierced space, aiming toward a far‑away destination.

He estimated it to be about a thousand li away.

There, nestled in the terrain, lay a city.

The city was small, composed of low, mostly shallow‑yellow limestone houses clustered together; most roofs were flat, occasionally bearing drying clothes or grain.

The housing layout seemed cramped and haphazard, with narrow alleys winding like a maze between the buildings.

The city walls were neither lofty nor sturdy, more like fences against beasts or small raiding bands, with several obvious gaps and repair marks.

A dozen tall trees dotted the interior and exterior, adding a splash of deep green to the yellow‑brown scenery.

At the highest point of the city stood the outline of a small temple or public building, its style bearing a blend of Rome and local influences.

Near the city gate, silhouettes of people, donkeys laden with goods, and a few wisps of cooking smoke could be seen.

This was Bo Li Heng in Youtaidi.

In Jewish tradition, the "City of David," the birthplace of the future Holy Son Jesus.

The present‑day Palestine region.

However, before Jesus was born, his foster father and mother Mary lived in Nazareth in Jalili.

The reason they traveled to Bo Li Heng to give birth to Jesus was that the Roman emperor—Gaius Octavius Augustus—ordered a census throughout the empire for taxation and population control.

At that time, Youtaidi was under direct rule of the Roman Empire, and its residents had to obey imperial edicts.

And Bo Li Heng, as a town of Youtaidi, was clearly within the jurisdiction of the Roman Empire.

Because Yuese belonged to the House of David, regulations required him to register in his ancestral hometown, the "City of David" Bo Li Heng.

Looking at the town, Yu Lin couldn't help but recall memories from even earlier times.

His first Wandering Myth mission had taken him to Nazareth in Jalili, where he spent over a month.

Similar dry air, similar earth‑colored houses, similar atmosphere of life… time and space seemed to echo wondrously at this moment.

It is worth mentioning that.

Because so many returned, every dwelling in the city was full.

Yuese and Mary could not find lodging, so they settled in a stable.

At this time, Mary entered her birthing period.

Thus after she gave birth to Jesus, she could only wrap him in swaddling cloths and place him in the manger—a rather disheveled scene.

Yu Lin was eager to witness this scene.

His phone and camera batteries were fully charged.

"I just don't know if Yuese and Mary have arrived yet."

"Never mind, let's go over and take a look first."

He gave a slight shake of his head, casting the thought aside.

Just as he was about to step onto the newly cut dirt road down the hillside toward Bo Li Heng—

From behind came a somewhat hurried footstep and a slightly weary man's call:

"Friend! The friend ahead! Please wait a moment! We… we want to ask for directions!"

Yu Lin turned his head at the sound.

He saw three people briskly walking up the trail from the other side of the hill.

They were dust‑covered, their robes stained with sand from the long trek, faces bearing fatigue.

The three were of varying ages: two around forty; the middle one had white hair and beard, a slender build, and all three dressed in scholarly attire, clearly not ordinary.

Yu Lin raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Who are you?"

The white‑bearded elder stepped forward, placed his right hand over his chest, performed an ancient salute to Yu Lin, and said: "We are priests from the distant East, the land of Persia, following ancient prophecy and the guidance of the stars, crossing deserts and mountains, to pay homage to… that newborn King of the Jews!"

"May we ask, is the town ahead on the required road to Holy City Jerusalem? Is Jerusalem not far ahead?"

Upon hearing their self‑introduction—Priests from Persia in the East, seeking the 'King of the Jews'—

Yu Lin instantly understood.

Isn't this exactly what the Holy Bible records, that after Jesus's birth, guided by the Star of David, they traveled thousands of miles to pay homage and present gold, frankincense, and myrrh—the 'Eastern Magi'?

Although the Holy Bible's original text does not specify their number, exact identities, or origins, later generations, based on the types of gifts and the Persian etymology of the terms, generally infer that they were likely three astrologers from ancient Persia.

At this moment they appear on the road to Jerusalem, and the Time Point matches.

This means Jesus has already been born.

Yu Lin thought to himself, "What a pity……".

But on second thought, following them would lead to the newly born Jesus, saving him a lot of time.

So he smiled and, following the other's words, said, "I see."

"What a coincidence, you too are looking for that 'King'?"

He deliberately emphasized the word 'King', with a hint of unspoken meaning:

"I am here for the same reason."

"Moreover, I also come from the East, only from a region farther east than your Persia."

He pointed toward the direction he had come from and, in a relaxed tone, extended an invitation:

"Since we share the road and the goal, why not travel together? I am heading to Jerusalem now and know a bit about the area."

Upon hearing Yu Lin's words, the three Persian priests were first startled, then simultaneously showed an uncontrollable look of delight on their faces!

In this foreign land, on an uncertain journey, to encounter a Sage who also seeks the New King, appears erudite, and seems familiar with the routes—this is truly the best support!

"So that's it! This is wonderful!!"

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"No trouble, just on the way." Yu Lin waved his hand, looking very casual.

The white-bearded elder hurriedly asked, "We have not yet inquired, how should we address you? So we may have a proper title."

"Yu Lin."

"Yu Lin…" the elder repeated, seeming to savor the exotic syllable, then solemnly placed his hand on his chest and bowed again:

"I am Mi Ti Ya, and these two are my companions, Balthasar and Gaspar."

He introduced the two middle‑aged scholars one by one.

"Then, there is no time to waste."

Yu Lin turned and said, "Let's set off."

He will first go to Jerusalem.

Because he intends to meet the current King of Jerusalem—Xi Lv Wang.

After learning that Jesus will be the future King, Xi Lv Wang began to plot.

A thought to kill him.
