Chapter 672: The Escape of Most of the World
"This is not a ghost story, there are no ghosts in it, only ancestral spells." "By 1929, 22 of the people who were directly or indirectly involved in the excavation had died of unknown causes, including Red, who was the first to unravel the shroud of Tutankhamun and give him X-ray fluoroscopy. After taking a few X-rays, he suddenly became extremely weak and died when he returned to London the following year. Later, it was counted that among the 22 people who died, all of them were the first to open the tomb door and enter the mausoleum. β
"You're saying that there was a curse in Tutankhamun's mausoleum?"
"Yes, on the wall of the tomb is written in ancient Egyptian script, 'Whoever disturbs my peace, the wings of death will descend upon you.'" Fan Jian's expression was very serious, without his usual appearance at all, and he completely looked like a scholar, "This is the most vicious curse in the dwarf-death curse." For a master dwarf, if someone kills you, you don't have to fear any price before you die, it's right to curse the other person with your life, which can make the other person die after a long period of pain. β
"It sounds pretty creepy, and it's good to listen to the story." Long Yun said with a smile.
"Big brother, I told you this is not a story. If the alchemist is more powerful, he can even curse on the objects he forges, but the level of that curse technique is very high, and it is impossible for ordinary alchemists to do it. Fan Jian said: "For example, such a legend is recorded in the Poetic Eda and the Khwaral Sakya. Odin's descendant, King Swavramame, set a trap to capture the dwarfs Duvalin and Durin of the alchemists, and threatened them with death to create an indestructible and invincible sword. β
Although the two brothers Doolin and Duvalin were reluctant to complete the sword, they also cursed the sword: if it was unsheathed, it would take a person's life, and sooner or later the wielder would perish. It is said that as long as there is no blood to feed it, the sword of Tyr will injure the master, causing the master to 'lose his heir, decay, and infighting'. When King Swafurrame learned that Tyrfin had been cursed, he tried to kill Duvarin and Doorin with Tyrfedge's sword, but they fled into the rock, and Tyrfin lost its victim and set out the terrible curse. β
"This king, it's all over in the end?"
"Of course, this kind of grandmaster-level curse technique, as long as it is triggered, it is difficult to escape." Fan Jiandao: "After King Swafurrame got this sword, he won many battles, and then a berserker named Aaron Green attacked King Swafurrame, he drew his sword of Tyr to fight, but the sword slashed into the opponent's shield and slipped from his hand, Aaron Green pulled out the sword stuck in the ground and killed King Swafurrame. The king who specially created the sword of Tyr was killed by Tyr Feng and fulfilled the spell. After that, as long as it is the wielder of Tyrblade, it will not end well, and only the female warrior Heval, who is disguised as a man, will be able to escape from the curse."
"You say that, I finally get it." Long Yun said: "The mysterious man killed Master Luer, and then he was also cursed, and it didn't take long for him to hang up, and the Jade Record that he took from Luer was lost in Africa or the Middle East. β
"That's right." Fan Jian nodded in agreement with Long Yun's point of view: "My master said that the person who came to the bookstore to sell this rubbing book said that it was bought by a Jew, maybe it was the one that Luhr left behind in the Middle East or Africa. It is precisely because of this that the "Jade Record" in my master's hand is actually not the most complete, but only a copy of Luer. β
"Wouldn't it be even more powerful if it was Hermes or the version written by Durin and Itri himself?" Long Yun Road.
"That's for sure......" Fan Jian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the place where the sun was setting in the distance, and the remaining afterglow inlaid the mountains with a golden edge, stunned.
"Hey! What happened to you? Long Yun touched Fan Jian with his elbow.
"I suddenly thought, if it weren't for this "Jade Record", maybe things wouldn't have developed to this point." Fan Jian shook his head, as if he was full of worries: "My master got into trouble because he got this "Jade Record". β
"Oh!?"
"In fact, when I first got this book, my master didn't immediately understand the contents, but it took a full 21 years to figure it out, and finally refined what an alchemist dreamed ofβthe Philosopher's Stone. This stone is also known as the 'Philosopher's Stone' because it can turn ordinary metal into fake gold with just a little use, but in fact, the Philosopher's Stone is a material structure of the fifth element, which contains powerful spiritual power, but it is a pity that those who are stupid and greedy use it as a tool to make a fortune. Fan Jian shook his head, and a look of disdain jumped on his face: "My master was very happy at that time and did a stupid thing. He donated fourteen hospitals in Paris in one go, and as a result, he attracted the attention of the Alchemy Guild with a large amount of money......"
"Woe to Xiao Wall......" Long Yun seemed to guess the development of the story behind.
"Yes, in 1417, witches began to be arrested everywhere, and at that time, the Alchemy Guild and the Church wore a pair of pants, so Durin sent someone to frame my master as a witch, and asked my master to hand over the Jade Record, and help them build Durin Prison." Fan Jianleng snorted a few times, obviously extremely disdainful of the people of the guild, "The president at that time was the ancestor of the current president of the Alchemy Guild, Ducat, the "Jade Record" was originally created by Du Lin, and it was understandable to return it to the people of the Du Lin family, my master had already planned to hand over this "Jade Record" after the construction of the prison was completed, and took his master to fly away, but he gradually discovered that the people of the guild did not plan to let him leave alive at all, and Du Lin Prison may be the final destination for him and his wife, so he decided to escape. β
"Did you really run away?" Long Yun asked.
"Yes, but in the process of escaping, Shi Niang was seriously injured and died on the way to escape." Fan Jian said: "My master did not choose China as his destination at first, he initially fled to Ceylon, which is now Sri Lanka, and planned to spend the rest of his life there. Unexpectedly, in 1432, he met the Zheng He fleet of the Ming Dynasty there, and the ancient civilization of China moved him, so he showed Zheng He some very ordinary alchemy, which shocked Zheng He and brought him to China together. β
"That's why he's been living in China all the time?" Long Yun said: "According to your statement, your master is now more than six hundred years old, I rely on it!" Definitely an old monster-level character, I must pay a good visit when I go back and see what a person in his six hundred years old looks like. β
"It looks like an ordinary old man." Fan Jian said: "Actually, my master doesn't want to take revenge, he is a kind person, and he feels that dwarfs fight dwarfs and always hurt their own people." So he chose to live in seclusion, and later when the Ming Dynasty perished, he simply went to the mountains to live in seclusion. And we only met my master in the late seventies. At that time, Zuo Chen and I were both orphans, adopted by a kind farmer, and it happened that our adoptive father's home was next to the mountain where my master lived in seclusion, so sometimes when we went up the mountain to chop wood, we would foresee Master Mailer, and we would be familiar with it when we came and went, and he was lonely alone in the mountains, so we simply let us go to him often to play. Unexpectedly, one day in the eighties, the people of the Alchemy Guild finally came......"
