"How long have you lived in the Styx country?"
"More than two years or three years? I don't really remember it. It happened ten years ago, but I know everything I need to know."
"Your tone is very determined, do you know how to leave the Styx country?"
"I know there are two ways. One is to ask the God of Underworld to open the gate of the Styx Kingdom and let us leave, and the other is to find the Book of the Dead and leave. However, you don't seem to be in a hurry."
Gao Yan stopped to look at the endless black pine forest, his expression indifferent and calm: "Because I know someone will definitely save me."
That person is his lover, Chu Shuibi.
Song Beiliu muttered: "Show your love again."
Gao Yan: "So now can you tell me what the Book of the Dead is?"
The earliest book of the dead was obtained by human priests from the god of wisdom, and later human priests invented more spells based on this earliest book of the dead to restrain, intimidate and deceive the gods.
People in ancient Egypt believed that after death, people would go to the kingdom of Styx and be judged by the gods. If they sinned during their lifetime, they would be judged and punished after death.
The wicked sin and fear punishment. Good people are innocent, but want to live forever with the gods.
So they will ask the priest to help them write a book of the dead before they die, praise the gods in beautiful writing and praise the deceased's good deeds during their lifetime, which is both bribing the gods and deceiving the gods.
At the same time, the priest will also write a spell in the second half of the book of the dead to intimidate the gods.
The Book of the Dead has the ability to bring the dead back to life because it can deceive the gods and cause the dead to be reborn through judgment.
Chu Suibi stole the Book of the Dead, but Song Beiliu did everything possible to come back and steal the Book of the Dead. What kind of book was he trying to steal
Although Gao Yan knew that the dead in ancient Egypt had a copy of the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Dead that really brought people back to life must be unusual.
"The Book of the Dead is divided into two volumes. God Chu stole the second book, but the first book was left in the hands of the God of the Underworld. The Book of the Undead in our mouths refers to the Book of the Undead, the God of the Underworld, Osiris."
The god of the underworld, Osiris, died twice and was resurrected twice, so he owns two books of the dead.
"The Book of the Dead of Osiris has been blessed by the first generation of the god of the underworld, Anubis, and the patron saint of the dead, Nephthys, so those who get the book of the dead can reverse the cycle of life and death."
"Equal to, get immortality."
Gao Yan suddenly remembered that he had asked Chu Shuibi before about his hair that was always the same length.
So it is because of having died once that life is frozen in eternity at that moment.
"So, where is the first volume of the Book of the Dead hidden by Osiris?"
..
"Osiris's book of the dead is hidden in his heart, but last time I deceived him and stole the second volume. So this time, he should choose to hide the book of the dead in other places."
"I used the second book of the Book of the Dead as a bargaining chip, and the god Gobi promised to let the kingdom of Styx return to the game field, but it changed hands and sent the book of the dead as a prize. This move will arouse the disgust of the gods of the Styx, at least Osiris Will not be happy to cooperate.”
"Osiris likes to hide things in his body organs, and he is easily attracted by strange and curious things."
"If you want to wake up other gods sleeping at the bottom of the Styx, you need the soul to stand on the scales and wait for judgment, because Osiris, the king of the underworld, is judged, Anubis, the god of death, weighs, and Thoth, the god of wisdom, records. When the soul goes to judge , Nephthys, the patron saint of the dead, will protect it, and other gods will watch the results out of curiosity."
"When the gods are concerned about the outcome of the trial, you can take the opportunity to steal the Book of the Dead."
Chu Suibi quickly sent all the precautions to the group, and informed Xie Sanqiu, Yang Mian, Su Jiang, Tang Ze, and Yu Xiaojie who were going to enter the Styx Kingdom.
After the five people were ready, they set off for the kingdom of Styx in Egypt. At the same time, Chu Shuibi, who was about to be taken away from the Book of the Dead, drew a terrifying look at Asura who was in a coma.
After Asura came out of the game field, he suddenly woke up from his deep sleep, but he went berserk because of his uncontrollable strength.
Chu Suibi led her to a place with few people, and then violently suppressed her.
Asura's spirit body was squeezed out of his body, and then stuffed into a wooden doll bought from a roadside stall. With a confused look on his face, he watched Chu Suibi die suddenly, his soul body came out of his body, and floated into her physical body in the real world.
Chu Shuibi opened his eyes, jumped twice, and said with disgust, "Short."
Asura: "???"
what happened? who is she? where is she? Why is your body not your own when you wake up
Chu Shuibi turned his head, looked at the small wooden carving with the word '囧' on the face, and calmly informed: "Asura, Dad lends you a body."
Asura went mad: "I borrow you paralysis! Did you agree with me?"
Chu Suibi: "Didn't I inform you?"
Asura was so angry that she used her 'mouth'-shaped mouth to pounce on Chu and smash the jade. Halfway through the bite, she suddenly remembered that it was her own body, so she gave up and instead roared: "Squeeze my soul away and bring it into the woodcarving. A notification?!"
God knows how happy she was when she discovered Chu Suibi's sudden death when she just woke up, she almost sang the way of heaven and reincarnation, but when she looked closely, she found that people had taken over her body in the real world!
Chu Shuibi dragged the Asuro card small woodcarving, carried his own body with his young body, secretly returned to his old nest to hide his body, and then picked up the Asura card small woodcarving, smuggling as a child to Egypt.
During the period Asura still wanted to make trouble, Chu Shuibi told her: "You have swallowed pure divine power, although it has been digested, but you can't learn to channel and fuse, sooner or later your body will burst, and even your soul will be damaged. I'll take over your body first and help you channel your divine power."
"The most important thing is that I have to enter the Styx country to save your little dad."
Asura was stunned, and repeatedly asked where Gao Yan was.
Chu Suibi told her what happened in the last game field, so she had to enter the advanced game field to save Gao Yan.
Asura: "Then why can't you go in by yourself?"
Chu Suibi said coolly, "Because of your father, I was permanently banned from entering the blacklist by the Styx Kingdom."
Asura: "Wow, you are such a dog."
Chu Suibi: "Without my dog, where would your arrogance come from? Your body has already been blown up, tell you."
Asura was awkward: "Thank you, but why do you seem to be dead? Are you still alive?"
The little girl cares awkwardly and arrogantly, but to be honest, if it was the original body that was as delicate as a doll to make an awkward and arrogant expression, it would be cute.
But she is now a wood carving with a face with the character '囧'!
So Chu Suibi was very disgusted: "You are normal, ugly and scary."
Asura: "..."
She pondered gloomily how to take this opportunity to completely let Chu Shabi dog lead.
Chu Suibi was holding Asura, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was a delicate and lovely little loli holding an ugly little wooden sculpture in her arms.
Inexplicable, cute and cute.
When the gate of Styx Kingdom opened again, Chu Suibi and other players passed the first level smoothly. He lined up among the players and souls, rushing towards the huge black turtle.
The Book of the Dead was engraved in Chu Shuanbi's soul, but now the Book of the Dead is separated from his soul. And he used Asura's body, so if there is no problem with the first level, the rest of the levels should be fine.
As long as you don't encounter the god Osiris, it's not a big problem.
The guards and some players liked the beautiful and harmless 'Asura'. After a casual conversation, they regarded 'Asura' as a newly dead soul body, so there was not much hostility.
Due to the setting of the game field, guards and eternal dwellers do not recognize the difference between the spirit body and the player.
Asura stared blankly at the old dog Chu, who was acting like a spoiled child, pretending to be good, and being cute against her skin without any psychological barriers. She was not very good.
But after witnessing the benefits of being cute and cute, Asura gradually became silent, and learned to be more perverted in silence.
Chu Suibi, who put away his cute smile, asked lazily, "Do you know what we are like now?"
Asura hesitated and said cautiously, "The begging duo?"
Chu Cuibi: "... useless." He reprimanded Asura lightly, and after a while he said, "It should be the old father and his six-year-old daughter who searched for her husband for thousands of miles, are you moved?"
Asura: "Not convincing."
Chu Shuibi said "tsk", not willing to give up this lovely character. After all, with the background of 'old father and his daughter Qianli Xunfu', 'old father' can debut in C position.
But he also knew that his current physical body was not suitable for this character design, so he had to reluctantly abandon it and change it to the character design of 'six-year-old girl looking for her father in a thousand miles'.
Chu Suibi and Asura used this character to start their unbridled rampage in the Styx Kingdom. When they met every eternal resident or god race, he would talk about his character, and by the way, he gave himself a little more strength. Unyielding trait.
In this way, he has actually deceived a lot of simple eternal residents and gods, and gained a lot of sympathy and love, as well as a lot of selfless help.
Chu Suibi and Asura gradually gained popularity in the Styx Kingdom, and gradually became famous as the two went deep into the central temple.
To sum up, the Lolita version of Chu Laogou and the ugly wood carving version of Asuro made their official debut in the Styx Kingdom, and gradually opened up the performing arts market.
..
On the other side, Gao Yan and Song Beiliu, who were not in the same district as most of the players, lived in the area of Wang Quan and the guardian deity of Styx.
Because Song Beiliu has a temporary resident certificate for the area of the kingship and the guardian deity of the Styx, he still has a house there.
At present, Song Beiliu and Gao Yan did not know that the gate of Minghe Kingdom had opened, and the game field did not remind them.
Song Beiliu told Gao Yan: "If you want to leave the kingdom of Minghe, you have to go to the central temple to meet the god of underworld in person, and ask him to send us away. Generally speaking, the god of underworld will agree. Because of the golden light of you and me, and the god of underworld is a relatively A generous ruler. Plus, he doesn't really like players being on the field now either."
"However, in order to increase the bargaining power, we first help to accumulate too many soul bodies. Because the soul bodies assisting the trial are sleeping at the bottom of the Styx River, the number of souls has been crowded for ten years."
After listening, Gao Yan expressed his understanding.
The area where they are located is relatively peaceful. Because they are the ethnic guards of the kingship and the guardian of the Styx, there are many guards in the city, and the laws are stricter.
Therefore, most players will not choose to come to this area.
The other seven areas of the Styx Kingdom surround the area where the Underworld God is located, and the central temple is equivalent to the palace where the king of the kingdom is located.
Outside the seven areas are the black pine forest and the Styx. Souls who have not obtained an eternal residence permit are waiting in line outside. There are seven gates to the central temple after passing through the black pine forest.
If you are lucky, you only need to go through a gate to reach the central temple. Unfortunately, the seven gates are connected.
The port where Gao Yan had just arrived was an abandoned port, and another port was set up opposite Blackstone.
On the first day, when they settled in the local area, Gao Yan quickly established a good relationship with the neighbors and heard a lot of news from them.
Some of the changes that have taken place in the ten years since the closure of the Styx Kingdom, such as the aggravation of the punishment laws for lying and deceit, are obviously from the experience of the god of the underworld, Osiris.
The next day, they went to the black pine forest to overrun, with little effect.
After all, they are two systems of gods. First of all, their beliefs are different, and their views on death and reincarnation are also different. Many residents of Egyptian origin do not believe in the reincarnation theory of transcending the Heart Sutra and reincarnation.
Black Pine Forest is a place where time repeats itself, where souls regenerate the next day after being torn apart.
Most of those who stayed in the black pine forest committed more serious crimes during their lifetime.
After learning about this setting, Gao Yan gave up the black pine forest and instead targeted the lonely souls in the Styx River Basin.
There is the first level, there are hundreds of thousands of stuck souls, and most of them are stuck because they do not believe in Egyptian mythology.
Therefore, it is beneficial to Gao Yan's transcendence.
The eagle pierced through the clouds and mist, and the eagle-headed guard circled in the air and stopped at the half-waist of the black stone to overlook the Styx.
At one end of the black boulder, calm and lonely, Gao Yan's drowned soul at the Styx River had little success at first, and only a few Chinese people who died unexpectedly while traveling in Egypt accepted the escape.
However, as the number of soul bodies that were transcended increased, other souls instinctively swam over and were then transcended.
In one day, Gao Yan surpassed ten thousand souls. Adding up to the number of transcendents in other game fields before, it would probably take another 10,000 transcendent souls to get a drop of Yangzhi nectar.
So Gao Yan didn't stop, from morning to night, after the moon rose and then until the sunrise, it took a day and a night to transcend more than 20,000 souls, and the water of the Stygian River was clean and clear for a while.
The main god sleeping at the bottom of the Styx and the guards watching everything had a good impression on Gao Yan.
When Gao Yan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of red blood, his legs were numb, he knelt on the spot for a long time before barely standing up.
Song Beiliu came over to help him up and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, you can do it in two or three times."
Gao Yan shook his head: "It's unnecessary, and the Heart Sutra can only be used three times. It has been used once before."
It is not true that the Heart Sutra can only be used three times, but it can exert its power on a large scale, and the number is limited to three times.
He wants to save the last time, maybe it will be of great use in the future.
"And there's not that much time." Gao Yan murmured with his eyes lowered.
The longer it drags on and the later he leaves, the more worried Chu Shuibi will be.
Song Beiliu squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Chu Shen can't come in, he is forbidden to enter the kingdom of Minghe."
Gao Yan: "He will definitely come in."
It was precisely because the Styx Kingdom forbade Chu Shuibi from entering, and the gods of Styx had hatred against him, which made Gao Yan very worried and couldn't wait to find a way to leave.
Gao Yan: "The number of excesses is up to the standard. I have already obtained a drop of Yangzhi nectar. Now we can go to the Central Temple and find a way to leave."
Song Beiliu stared at Gao Yan for a long time, and calmly reminded: "But you have no intention of resurrecting me."
Having said that, Song Beiliu still helped Gao Yan to go back.
Gao Yan's face was sullen and his eyes were indifferent: "Song Beiliu, I believe in your merits, but I believe in your hatred for your brother more. If one of the conditions for you to kill your brother is merit, will you still abide by the cooperation treaty?"
Song Beiliu tilted his head for a while, and found that Gao Yan knew him very well. However, he still dismantled Gao Yan: "Excuse."
Gao Yan didn't answer.
Song Beiliu: "It's obviously an excuse, and it's really cunning to put the mistake on me. You are afraid that God Chu will break into the kingdom of Styx for you. To be safe, at least for you, he may choose to use the Book of the Dead as a bargaining chip."
"However, God Chu who loses the Book of the Dead will die. You want to keep your Yangzhi Ganlu for him, right? Even if God Chu doesn't madly break into the Styx Kingdom, for you, it is still not enough to maintain your life with the Book of the Dead. Insurance. So from the moment you got your Yangzhi nectar, you only want to give it to Chu Shen, you don't want to fulfill our agreement, right?"
Gao Yan was silent, and after a long time, he said, "Yes."
Song Beiliu guessed right.
Just as he knew about Song Beiliu, Song Beiliu also knew him very well, and the cause and effect between them was really deep. If there is no entanglement of interests, but a more pure relationship, they may become good friends.
Song Beiliu: "Aren't you afraid that I will threaten you now?"
Gao Yan: "I'm sorry."
Song Beiliu sighed: "Cunning."
What can he do? You can't force it.
People have desires, and they are people who have desires. Desires are all kinds of things, sometimes wealth and status, sometimes immortality, sometimes just an obsession, and some people's desires are another person's life.
Song Beiliu's brother's desire is eternal life, Song Beiliu is obsessed with killing his brother, Juli Hualing wants to resurrect Song Beiliu, and Gao Yan and Chu Shuibi are each other's lives.
Song Beiliu raised his index finger and discussed it very seriously: "I will never compromise, either the Book of the Dead or Yang Zhi Ganlu, you have to give me the same, let me revive?"
Gao Yan was really shocked at this time. He thought that Song Beiliu would turn his face. After all, the other party was indeed selfish and unscrupulous in order to resurrect.
Song Beiliu: "Do you think I'll turn my face?"
Gao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Indeed."
Song Beiliu: "Tsk, I just don't want us to have enmity, and it's really troublesome to have enmity with you."
Gao Yan: "You are right."
Because he and Chu Suibi are also extremely vengeful.
Song Beiliu's mouth twitched, and he said angrily, "Okay, you, go back and rest for a while, and then we will discuss how to enter the central temple."
The eagle chirped, and the guard who stopped at the half waist of the black boulder spread his wings and disappeared in the thick fog, and flew to the port on the other side.
It is bustling and bustling, and souls line up in endless queues.
Song Beiliu raised his head: "Look, the guards are patrolling the sky, and the guards are very strict."
Gao Yan: "Once you leave the area in the city, your every move will be watched closely." After a pause, he asked again: "Is it so strict before?"
Song Beiliu: "No. Your husband made it."
Gao Yan did not change his expression: "Thank you for the compliment on my behalf, Brother Chu."
Song Beiliu: "..." Smelly shameless!
..
The black boulder port opposite the Styx River Basin.
Xie Sanqiu and the other five were queuing up in a long line, by the way, to popularize the Styx Kingdom.
Xie Sanqiu: "When the Styx Kingdom was closed, I was still working in the primary field, so I'm not familiar with it. All the information is obtained through inquiries. We need to collect more information."
Yang Mian: "I understand the basics, but the Styx Kingdom is divided into eight regions. Which region will Brother Yan be in?"
Su Jiang looked back to the other side of the river, where there were also black boulders and a lively scene.
He said: "The situation on the other side is the same as ours. If we can't find it here, don't we have to go back and look for it?"
Xie Sanqiu: "No need, everyone's destination and goal are the same."
The target is the Book of the Dead, so the destination—
Looking up towards the east, a magnificent palace standing above the clouds is overlooking its kingdom and its people.
That is-
The place of the underworld, the central temple!
..
The girl in the cherry blossom pink kimono easily engraved her name on the black boulder, entered the outer city area after passing the examination, and wandered aimlessly in the city streets, but actually reached the black pine forest at the fastest speed.
Her destination was the area ruled by the god of kingship and the guardian of the Ming River, and the area where Song Beiliu and Gao Yan were located.
The author has something to say: The eight main gods mentioned in the last chapter mainly refer to the more famous ones.
But the most mentioned is the Egyptian nine-pillar god, mainly the first three generations of gods (the sun god Ra gave birth to children, the children gave birth to the sky and the earth, and finally the sky and the earth gave birth to four children, and the third generation was the god of the underworld, Osiris and his children. siblings).
The Nine Pillars of God are more detached, followed by other major gods.
It is set in the text that there are eight main gods in the Styx Kingdom, but the biggest god is Osiris, the god of the underworld, one of the nine-pillar gods. Nephthys, who is also one of the Nine Pillars, is a friendly help.
The Egyptian mythology is quite interesting. In addition, as mentioned in the previous chapter, Osiris slept with his brother's wife and gave birth to an illegitimate son Anubis, but in the original version, he did not cuckold his brother. It is said that it was slandered by the Greeks, but this setting is now a generally recognized version.
Because of Osiris in Egyptian frescoes, he is usually followed by two goddesses, his wife and his brother's wife.
Mythology is probably like this, modified according to the different dynasties and the needs of the ruling.
Like the version of Nuwa's creation of a human being, and the version of Nuwa's Fuxi brothers and sisters giving birth to children (I'm a little disgusted by this version, it belongs to the patriarchal society's YY)
In addition, the three goddesses of Egypt are very handsome!
Two of them are Ninepins, Isis, the wife of Osiris, and Nephthys, the wife of his brother.
Isis is the goddess of life and magic. She can be said to be the most powerful goddess and the only one who can stand side by side with the sun god Ra. There is a setting in Egypt that if you know the word of the god, you can easily kill the god.
Isis designed her great-grandfather, the real name of Ra, the sun god, so she shared the divine power of Ra.
Nephthys is the goddess who guards the dead.
The last goddess was Hathor, the goddess of love, wife of Horus. (Horus is the son of Osiris and his wife, who killed his uncle to avenge his father)
Hathor was originally a lion-headed human figure, very fierce and warlike, like a lioness. And she was also the bodyguard of Ra, who was later sent to protect Horus.
She is Horus' wet nurse, and because of her existence, Horus' uncle did not dare to kill him.
Later, when Hathor married Horus, she became very gentle and became the goddess of beauty and love.
