Chapter 7: The Pyramids

After returning from Aunt Zhang's house, Ah Jian and Shi finally put their minds at ease, and with Uncle Zhang helping Zhang Luo, the risk of selling soul grass was much less. As long as there is money, some pressing problems can be solved, such as housing problems, naturalization and education problems for younger siblings, and so on.

Blackstone City pursued a policy of buying a house for naturalization, and many merchants from other city-states bought houses in the city for convenience. However, compared with those city-states on the Mesopotian Plain, the housing prices in Black Rock City are not particularly expensive, and the courtyard houses with courtyards like Uncle Zhang's house are only about 100,000 gold coins, and if the place is a little more remote, it is estimated that 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins are enough.

Uncle Zhang estimated that soul grass was not common in Black Rock City, and there were only a dozen plants a year, but wizards and elixir masters needed it. If these twelve soul grasses were sold to pharmacies together, they might only sell for twenty or thirty thousand gold coins each, but if they could be sold separately at auction, it would not be a big problem to sell each plant for thirty or forty thousand gold coins.

No matter how you calculate it, there is no problem with these soul grasses selling for a total of two or three hundred thousand gold coins. In this way, in addition to buying a courtyard house, they can have tens of thousands of dollars left, and they don't have to worry about the living problems of the past few years.

After buying a house and everyone becoming naturalized, the younger siblings naturally want to go to the academy, as for the two brothers, they don't have to go to the academy, but the meditation and fighting skills classes in the temple must be listened to. As long as they refine their fighting qi or mana in a few years, they will be able to go into the mountains to hunt and feed their families, and they can't rely on Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang for the rest of their lives.

When the brothers were still thinking about how to live in the future, the old demon who stayed in the meteorite was already impatient, and he appeared in Ah Jian's consciousness again.

"You guys have an endless deal? What are you buying, studying, working, is it interesting to have firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long? When the time comes, it will become like my old man, won't it all be the same?"

"Hmph, we don't want to be like you sooner? Besides, if your ghost looks interesting, then why do you have to have my body? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

"This ...... Little brother, I really didn't lie to you! Like me, I only remember what I once liked, or hated, and what I thought, as for what I had eaten, worn, and lived in before, I have long forgotten everything, so the most important thing in this life is the experience of emotions and thinking, and it is by no means firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long. ”

"Cut, without the support of firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can't live, so why should you experience emotions and thoughts? Oh, like you are now, can you still experience emotions and thoughts?"

"Of course you can! Sometimes I even feel that it is more refreshing to have no body, I can fly if I want to, my mind is running at a high speed, and my five senses are more acute than when I was alive, there is nothing inconvenient, just ......"

"What's it? To put it bluntly, it still doesn't work! If it's really that good, why do you spend thousands of years in this meteorite, why do I need to take you out of the sinkhole?"

"Alas! I'll tell you the truth, being a yin god is just as bad, that is, memories disappear very quickly, and the generation of new consciousness is no match for the forgetting of old memories! If it weren't for this meteorite, let alone thousands of years, even decades, I would have never remembered who I really was. ”

"Then you get into the human body, and it's okay?"

"As long as it's a compatible body, that's a matter of course, and what living person isn't a combination of the yin god and the body? Because there's a fitting body, memory, which we call quantum information, dissipates more slowly, so that new consciousness is generated more than old consciousness is dissipated, and people don't forget who they are. ”

"Oh, I see! I'm sorry, my body won't give it to you, because then I won't have one. By the way, you haven't thought of any other way? Since this meteorite can slow down the dissipation of your memory, why not find more meteorites?"

"It's useless! The fit has nothing to do with the quantity, this meteorite comes from our own planet, so it fits partially with my quantum information, and other meteorites are useless. ”

"Is there really no way around it? I really want to help you, except for my body, I can help you think of a way. ”

"Little guy, you have a little conscience, and it's not in vain that my old man saved you a few times. I don't have a definitive answer to this other option, but there is a possible guess that needs to be verified experimentally. This experiment ......"

"What speculation, what experiment, do you need my help?"

That speculation comes from a legend in our world that if a person's body is placed in a pyramid, then his soul, the Yin God, will not dissipate, and then he will be resurrected again. So, I would like to ask you to build a pyramid and try to see if this legend is true. ”

"Pyramids, what do you mean by pyramids, are they the kind that are square on all sides and have pointy tops?"

"Ah, have you seen the pyramids? Where have you seen them?...... Why did they even move the pyramids?"

The old monster asked in surprise, but added an inexplicable sentence at the end.

According to the book, there are two pyramids, namely the Pyramid of the Eagle God and the Pyramid of the Snake God, the Pyramid of the Eagle God in Cairo City, and the Pyramid of the Snake God in Luoyang City, both of which are on the Mesopotrian Plain, both of which were built for the two gods more than a thousand years ago. And then they've always been there, they've never moved!"

"Cairo City, Luoyang City, it's so much fun! Little one, do you know why the gods let people build these two pyramids?"

"I don't know, the book doesn't say it. However, the gods did not allow mortals to approach the pyramids, nor did they allow ...... Oh, no, you're really going to build the pyramids, old demon?"

"yes, what's wrong, no?"

"The Holy Book says that the pyramid is the palace of the gods, and mortals are not allowed to go near the pyramid, let alone build pyramid-shaped buildings. If someone builds a pyramid and is discovered by the temple, it will be dead. ”

"How can these guys do this? Only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? Hey, little guy, are you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, I'm not afraid, I'll become a monster like you when I die, and then I'll lose my memory, it's scary to think about!"

"Then I want to ask you to help me build a pyramid, do you dare?"

"This ...... How big a pyramid are you going to build?"

Ah Jian really wanted to refuse directly, but he thought that the old demon was actually quite good, and he saved him and the stone a few times, if it really disappeared one day, he would definitely be sad, so he couldn't bear to refuse.

"How big? You don't need to make it big now, you can use it anyway, do you dare?"

"Old monster, if I hadn't promised to help you, I would never have done such a dangerous thing, let's discuss this matter first, and then reply to you later!"

At that moment, Ah Jian told the old monster's request to the stone, but he didn't expect the stone to be very angry, and immediately agreed. However, he didn't want to involve his younger siblings, so he proposed to find another hidden place to build this pyramid.

The two of them went back and forth, and finally decided that in addition to the courtyard, they would find a house in the middle of nowhere and build the pyramid in it.

The old Yin God was grateful, and it was from this moment that it truly merged into Ah Jian's big family. No one would have imagined what kind of changes this would bring to Ah Jian and the world.
