Chapter XXVIII

The bone-chilling pain was like a thousand ants devouring his heart, tearing Mo Jiu back from the abyss of despair once again.

Mo Jiu slowly opened his eyes, the weak candlelight flickered in front of him, looking around, Jiu'er slowly sat up, the murals on the wall and the hard stone wall, a breath of ancient came to him, this is a secret room.

When his eyes moved to his body, Jiu'er jumped up suddenly, and there was a huge sarcophagus under him, a small gap opened on one side of the sarcophagus, Jiu'er had the courage to take a closer look, there was a mummy lying inside, and the mummy with a golden mask was surrounded by various ornaments, Egyptian pharaoh?

Jiu'er closed his eyes and stared, quickly searching for various memories in his mind, he was traveling west from Tokyo with a group of poor travelers, and remembered that there was a coward named Xuanye who had been following him, he was always haunted by nightmares, and he couldn't describe it at night, but fortunately he was normal during the day.

Where did this kid and his fellow travelers go? Mo Jiu muttered in his heart.

Staying alone in the pharaoh's tomb panicked, Jiu'er turned around and walked to the stone door of the secret room, and it took a lot of strength to push the stone door open, a dim passage appeared in front of him, a low space, only for people to crawl, fortunately there was a faint light at one end of the passage, Jiu'er lay down, and crawled to the end with difficulty with his hands and feet.

The passage went up, and Mo Jiu climbed for nearly half an hour before he got out of the tomb, such a long passage, and it was so low, it was to trap the pharaoh's soul in it, Jiu'er said to herself.

Crawling out of the tomb, the scene in front of him surprised Jiu'er, the vast desert, no boundary, no one around.

Looking back, a huge pyramid stands in front of you, the huge stone surface of the pyramid is full of pale blue color, I remember that I have been to the pyramid in the past three years, obviously there is no such brand new in front of me, is it renovated?

Jiu'er sat on the hot yellow sand, looking at the distant sky, and in a trance remembered the dream on the sarcophagus of the secret room, in which she turned out to be Xiang Yu's Yu Ji, and she was still fighting against the Han army by the Wujiang River......

The corners of Jiu'er's mouth raised, and she smiled unconsciously: It's really a dream, if you can really get along with such a hero, it will not be in vain to be a woman.

Jiu'er casually touched it into his arms, and a bag slipped out, and when he opened the bag, a hair dozens of centimeters long appeared in front of him - Juzi's hair.

This is the long hair she secretly pulled off from Juzi's head on the garden island, Jiu'er was puzzled, could it be that the pain of that scene really happened?

If that's the case, where is she Mo Jiu now? In the vast desert, alone, Jiu'er has an ominous premonition, he is trapped, if he wants to get out of here, it seems that he can only rely on himself, Jiu'er quickly searched for various supernatural methods in his mind, and after a period of cranky thinking, finally a ridiculous and not too ridiculous thought flashed in Mo Jiu's mind: Summoning Bloody Mary, since Xuan Ye can summon Mary, she Mo Jiu can also.

Mary can predict the future, so let her give Jiu'er a way out of the desert.

Summoning Bloody Mary requires a mirror, and Mo Jiu rummaged all over his body, but couldn't find a mirror. Jiu'er never wears makeup, and of course she doesn't have a mirror as a girl's essential "weapon", so what should she do?

Mo Jiu stood up and walked towards the tomb, although there was no clear record that a mirror had been found in the pyramid, but Mo Jiu went there.

Entering from the entrance, it is a smooth stone wall, walked down for a short while, and then bent down and walked up for a while, in front of you is a more spacious passageway, there are two stone doors on one side of the road, closer to the queen's tomb, the queen's tomb is much better than the pharaoh's tomb when she first came, Jiu'er pushed open the stone door and walked in, the inside is relatively spacious.

The murals on the walls of the tomb are gorgeous, with yellow and white as the main colors, recording the social life and sacrificial scenes of ancient Egypt, as well as the glorious deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime.

The lines are straightforward, the depiction is simple, and the story of the ancient exotic land is depicted.

Mo Jiu looked around, next to the sarcophagus, there was a bronze mirror scattered on both sides, a double-sided polished, oval mirror, with a handle underneath, Mo Jiu walked over and picked up the bronze mirror, and took off the protective cover woven by rush grass on the mirror, like a smoke-like mirror, which is a little blurry compared to modern mirrors, and can only see his general appearance.

Mo Jiu looked at the handle he was holding, his face couldn't help but blush, the ancients' brains really wanted to open it as much as they wanted, this handle turned out to be a man's half-naked lower body, if it weren't for the rush to use this bronze mirror, Mo Jiu would have thrown it far away.

Mo Jiu held the bronze mirror in her hand and looked around, she needed a bathroom, turn off the lights, of course there are no lights here, the environment must be quiet, but unfortunately there is no bathroom in the queen's tomb.

Mo Jiu decided to summon the bloodthirsty Mary in this tomb, by the way, test his courage, this psychic game is very scary, ordinary people do not dare to summon the bloody Mary, once Mary appears, its hideous and bloody face can scare people half to death, when the summoner's request is met, but also pay a high price, if the summoning steps go wrong, the summoner may be trapped in the mirror world by Mary.

Mo Jiu picked up an oil lamp next to the tomb, held it between himself and the bronze mirror, closed his eyes, and silently recited "BloodyMary, BloodyMary, BloodyMary." ”

Although he may not be able to summon Mary, Mo Jiu still has a little fear, and it took a while to open his eyes, because he was afraid, so Jiu'er first opened one eye to see if there was nothing, and then opened the other eye.

Mo Jiu put down the bronze mirror, since he couldn't summon anything, then take a good look at the layout of the tomb. Anyway, this is also the queen's tomb, so you have to visit it respectfully, maybe there are some other mechanisms here, like a ghost ship, directly crossing into the next life.

Mo Jiu wandered around and knocked the entire wall, and even the queen's mummy she carefully examined, but found no mechanism.

Just when Mo Jiu was about to give up looking, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if something unclean. Mo Jiu stopped, and the corner of his eye suddenly caught a lock of his head and started it, startling Mo Jiu.

Looking around, but didn't find anything abnormal, it should be that he was too nervous, Mo Jiu laughed at himself.

Jiu'er walked to the exit of the tomb, intending to return to the ground, but the coolness behind her was rising again, and this time she clearly felt the presence of the thing.

"Do you have any questions for me?" A very small voice.

"Who!" Mo Jiu shouted angrily, this time Jiu'er was really scared, and his voice was "broken".

"I'm Mary, don't you have something to ask me?" The voice sounded again, the secret room was like this, Mo Jiu looked around and the bronze mirror, and found no one, could it be in the sarcophagus?

"Who are you, don't pretend to be a ghost? Come out quickly, you me off, don't blame me if you miss and hurt me? Although Mo Jiu's palms were full of sweat, he still maintained his usual "domineering"

"I'm in the mirror, I'm afraid of startling you, I didn't dare to show up."

"So, you're still kind? Then show up quickly. Jiu'er urged.

After two seconds of silence, the air was almost frozen, and a shallow figure gradually appeared in the middle of the bronze mirror.

"Don't be afraid, I'll retreat." The voice in the mirror seemed to be more nervous than Jiu'er.

Mo Jiu squinted his eyes and looked at the empty mirror, and the emptiness made people even more panicked, "You still ...... Show up. Compared to you, I think such an empty mirror is even more terrifying. Mo Jiu leaned against the wall, got up from the ground, calmed down for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to comfort himself: Nothing to be afraid of, isn't it just a little ghost? I remember that in Ichinoya, I even saw the parade of 100 ghosts, how did I become so daring.

Mo Jiudai didn't look at it, glanced at the bronze mirror, a woman with long red hair and a white veil, standing in the mirror, not a reflection as Xuan Ye said, but a woman standing upright, maybe Xuan Ye's kid was scared and saw it wrong.

"You're Bloody Mary?" Looking at the woman in the mirror, Mo Jiu was not afraid, he thought that there would be a little ghost with a hideous face, but the result was not bad, although he was veiled, he was roughly the outline of a normal person, and Jiu'er was even glad that there was finally someone to speak.

"Yes, I'm Mary, and I'm here to show you the way." Her tone was very respectful, one bite at a time.

"Show me the way?" Mo Jiu asked puzzled.

"Yes, it was I who led you to summon me, this burial chamber in front of you is the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, and we are now living in the era of the Middle Dynasty under the reign of Amenemkht I of ancient Egypt."

"Wait, I can't turn the corner for a while, Amenemhut I was a pharaoh around the second millennium BC, and I am in this period? So how do I get back to modern times? ”

"You can't go back to what you call modern, but you can go back if you want."

"I want to go back to modern times, I want to find my mother-in-law." Jiu'er remembered that there was a "fairy" by the Wujiang River who had reminded her to find the four spirits of the sky, open the gate of heaven in the North Pole, and she would be able to see her third son again, she had to beg her mother-in-law to take her to find the four spirits of the sky, and her mother-in-law would definitely be able to do it.

"The master wants to find the four heavenly spirits, right?" Mary asked respectfully.

"How do you know?" Jiu'er was very surprised.

"I'm here to take you to find the Four Spirit Beasts." Mary said.

"That's great, we'll look for it now." Jiu'er said eagerly, she didn't expect Mary to have this ability.

"Don't worry, master, you stop here for a few days, pay attention to the changes in the stars, when the three stars of Orion are vertically connected to the palace of the pharaohs, the next star will appear, use your existing mana to open the empty door, and you will go where you should go." The next spirit animal will appear at the last moment of the victim's life. ”

"But, how can I stargaze and open the empty door? Just me? "It must have been Mary who saw the wrong person, Mo Jiu looked at the bronze mirror in a daze.

"You will." The voice fell, and the figure disappeared in the mirror.

"Hey, don't go, make it clear before leaving!" No matter how Jiu'er called, Mary just didn't show up, didn't she say that the person who summoned Bloody Mary had to pay an expensive payment, why didn't she even want a payment, Jiu'er wondered in her heart.

Walking out of the tomb, Mo Jiu found an open sand and sat down, looking up at the starry sky, the reflection of his memory became clearer and clearer:

The bloody rain and bloody wind by the Wujiang River, Mo Jiu saw the overlord of Western Chu die in front of him, and as Yu Ji's self, he committed suicide. Qinglong, the talisman beast of the Han King, bowed down to herself, and the fairy of the dreamy Huadian said before parting, she also called herself "Jiu'er", and seemed to be very close to herself.

All this, if she didn't see Mary appear in the bronze mirror with her own eyes, and didn't find Juzi's hair from her arms in person, Mo Jiu could only regard them as a spring and autumn dream anyway, but now she is extremely sure that all of this is true, and the next thing she has to do is to find the next Four Spirit Divine Beast.

There is no choice, it must be done, for the sake of the third son.

Maybe life is a dream shuttle, what happened, she thought it was just a dream, but it turned out to be a living reality; The real world at the moment feels as illusory as a dream.

Xuan Ye had to stay in the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, during which he was the emperor for seven years, and finally died of a nervous breakdown due to various stimuli.

Then, he should go back to the modern time he said, originally to relieve the "sweet dream" trouble, but fell into a situation more difficult than the nightmare, Jiu'er didn't want the coward to suffer from the soul anymore, the next way, let her go alone.

Mo Jiu lay on the sand, looking up at the sky, and fell into deep thought.

The starry sky twinkled, and a familiar feeling rose in Jiu'er's heart.

Counting the stars, the memory was slowly repaired inadvertently, Mo Jiu moved his finger, and a bird summoning charm slipped between his fingers.

Jiu'er was overjoyed in her heart, and her mana was restored!

Looking up at the starry sky again, Mo Jiu saw a different starry sky, the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth flashed in the sky with five-colored light, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Maiden, Libra, Centaur, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and the zodiac all glowed with a warm yellow halo.

Below the starry sky, a miniature version of the star palace map gradually appeared, the coordinates of the sun and the moon five elements, the zodiac signs were clearly revealed, and the royal heavenly palace map of the ancient Babylonian Chaldean dynasty actually appeared here, it seems that Mo Jiu's heavenly eye has recovered its strength, otherwise she would not have seen this heavenly palace map.
