I didn't expect that there would be a hole in the ground of this small temple where Immorton once lived.
I've been here countless times, both before Immorton left and after he left, but I never knew there was such a mechanism under this room. The stone table was pushed open, revealing a stone staircase passage that descended downward. When walking downward, the echo of footsteps in the ground seems empty and heavy, which makes people feel a little frightened and palpitating.
At the end of the stairs, there was an altar in front of me, which was extremely simple compared to the magnificent altar of the Temple of Amun, with no huge stone pillars, no elaborate idols, and even uneven ground. I lit the lamps on the walls, and by the light of the flickering fire, I saw the story of the mythical Anubis carved into the stone walls, and some scribbled hieroglyphs in the form of monks that were difficult to identify.
I began to think that this might be the secret of the Immorton tribe's heritage, but I quickly dismissed the suspicion. This temple seems to be a long time ago, and it must not have been built by Immorton.
"I stumbled upon this place, and there are some mysterious secrets here, but I haven't fully figured it out yet. There are many things I don't understand about what the words on the wall say. He turned to the two monks and told them to gently lift Memphis down to the stone platform in the center.
Immorton took out a huge scripture book that looked exactly like the Golden Sutra of the Sun from the black metal box next to the stone platform. This - I know, this book is the Black Book of Death that is as famous as the Golden Sutra of the Sun, but its purpose is completely opposite.
"Why...... Want to use it? ”
I looked up at Immorton uneasily, but Carol seemed to be unaware of everything here, not at all interested in everything he used to see, and he felt new to everything. Her eyes, her soul, were tightly tied to Memphis's body, and she could see nothing but him in her eyes.
Immorton held the book in his hand and opened the pages with a twist.
We stood quietly aside, and the only one standing next to the stone platform was Imerdon, and it was Carol.
"Hold Pharaoh's left hand." Immorton commanded, and Carol slowly reached out and gently took Memphis's left hand, which he placed at his side.
"Close your eyes, whatever you feel or what happens, you don't make a sound, you don't move, you know?" Immorton's voice was calm but irresistible.
Carole nodded, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
"Whatever you see, don't make a sound, you can't interrupt, you know?" He turned his head and ordered, and I and the two monks, as well as Unas, nodded along with him.
Immorton's fingers gently caressed the pages of the book. The indulgic characters are not so easy to read on the dark pages, but the content of the scriptures is similar to that of the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
I listened to him recite the scriptures slowly, and his voice was very magnetic, as if every word had been knocked on your heart, and it flowed calmly like water.
Let the sun rise and revive life...... These words are the same as the long sutra of the Golden Sutra of the Sun. However, it sounds completely different. Maybe it's because it's dark and closed, mysterious and weird, maybe it's because what's going on is too unbelievable, maybe it's because the people around him are holding their breath and don't dare to make a sound. Maybe it's because ...... Here, there is a heavy dead air, which makes people instinctively afraid of nervousness and dare not take it lightly.
Immorton's voice continued: "True love holds the last bond, and life is not harvested by death." When you pass through that gate together one day, love is like a pure lotus, and the power of the sun god makes it sprout brilliantly. The lotus flower comes back from the dead day by day from the rotten swamp and blooms in the fields. ”
The only way to understand the scriptures was here, and Immorton began to chant beautifully. His expression was solemn, and his hands were tightly holding the Black Sutra of the Dead, and his focused and strained demeanor showed that he was engrossed in chanting the scriptures. The hard, obscure bytes bloomed from the tip of his tongue one by one, like rain falling on the surface of a river, and the strings plucked notes...... I seemed to have some illusions, as if the light from Carrol's body was glowing, fluttering and circulating, and the halo slowly spreading.
Is it wrong...... Originally, her hair was bright gold, and in this dark room, under the light of the lamp, the blonde hair had a moist light.
No...... My eyes widened, and now I can be sure that it wasn't my delusion, that Kyrol's body was glowing! She tilted her head back slightly, her slender neck forming a graceful line. At this moment, she looked like the saint who sacrificed to God in the mural, her body, hair, and hands were glowing, and that halo covered her and Memphis inside...... It makes people feel ...... She was shining a light on him with her life.
Yes, that's right, that's what it feels like.
Immorton's chant suddenly became high, as if he was shouting something, as if he was shouting and threatening, I felt a little dizzy, lightheaded, and unsteady on my feet, and stretched out my hand to support the wall, but Unas reached out and held me first.
Neither of us was silent, for Immorton had just told us not to interrupt. My gaze met that of Unas, and the calm of his eyes contained a much deeper, so deep and intense ...... I don't want to face emotions. The moment my eyes met, I turned my head away. Unas didn't seem to feel anything, and still held me firmly and measuredly.
After about a few dozen seconds, the pale golden light on Carole's body had gradually faded, and her body shook, and she fell forward softly, leaning on Memphis's body, and fainted. And the sound of Immorton chanting also stopped at this time.
Concerned and anxious, I was about to take a step forward, but I stopped and glanced at Immorton. I don't know if the ceremony is over now, but if something breaks down, that's it...... But I was astonished to see Immorton at this time, and Immorton's face was sweating profusely, and his expression was haggard, and he looked as if he had ...... It's as if the whole person's strength has been drained.
He slowly closed the scriptures in his hand and put them down, as if his current strength could not even bear the weight of the book. When he saw me looking at him, he raised his hand and waved it gently, "Okay...... Now, they are partners who live and die together...... As long as Kairol is okay, Pharaoh will not die, even if they will be separated in the future, they will be thousands of miles apart, but their souls will still resonate, and their hearts can still be connected......"
I walked over to him, then leaned down to check on Memphis. He was still breathing lightly, but it didn't deteriorate.
"It's ...... What a ritual, so mysterious......"
Immorton whispered, "I'll talk to you about this in detail later, first...... Send them away, and if you delay any longer, I'm afraid you will lose both of them at the same time. ”
