Chapter 20: Treacherous Dreams and Family Calling
For Chen Xian, Osiris, a character who only exists in myths and legends, is basically made up by man or based on certain things, and the old liar does not believe in the so-called "god of the underworld", but his views are not as extreme as Chen Xian......
There is no one possibility.
Those gods in ancient Egyptian legends are actually aliens?
This idea, the old crook has thought of a long time ago, including some domestic sects. Teach the gods and so on...... Most of them are posthumously canonized as gods after the Inhumans made miracles and appeared in the mortal world, so perhaps the legendary Lord of the Underworld, Osiris, was an ancient Egyptian Inhuman, but he was too powerful to be believed as a god by the people.
Of course, none of this matters, and the reason why the old liar would think that arm was a former limb of Osiris himself is also because that arm seems to carry some kind of memory, a memory that is distant and ancient, as if it came from beyond the ethereal river of time......
Since Xu Yanan was transplanted into that arm, every night in the middle of the night. When she dreamed, she always dreamed of strange things, and she often dreamed of a strange and illusory desert, which may or may not exist in some corner of the earth, because there were colorful aurora lights floating under the stars.
Xu Yanan had never seen such a beautiful scenery, so every time she dreamed, she would eagerly want to find Chen Xian, and wanted to take him to see the ancient heavenly dome in front of her that was ten thousand times more gorgeous than the picture scroll, but in her dreams, she couldn't see anyone except herself.
It's as if the desert has been cut off from the real world.
They have become two worlds, connected to each other but not intrusive with each other, like a light and a dark existence.
In this dream, time flies.
Xu Yanan would walk nearly 100 miles in the desert every night, and sometimes he would sit down and look at the stars if he was too lazy to walk, but every time the dream ended, the same change would appear in the desert.
Under the yellow sand.
An ancient temple that has existed for more than many years will rise,
The huge stone bricks were full of mottled marks, which were gifts from the years, and the doors of the temple were long gone...... Inside the hall is a starry sky, as if stepping into this door is the universe, and there are thousands of brilliant light clusters in the darkness of the deep sky, like a nebula "floating" in the air.
Whenever Xu Yanan wanted to enter the temple, the desert would begin to tremble violently, and in the distance, at the edge of the sky....... where heaven and earth meet, under the starlight, a huge figure would loom there, standing quietly on the edge of heaven and earth like a translucent giant.
Above its illusory body that radiated a faint green light, there was an ancient and intense breath of life, which seemed to allow all things to grow freely...... But there will be a dead air that cannot be concealed.
Life and death, life and soul, the reincarnation of all things, all of this ....... in its giant eyes that burn with dark green flames.
"I used to think it was just a normal parasite, but it seems like I was wrong...... Ordinary parasites shouldn't carry so many memories, it's not as simple as anomalous life, it seems to be a higher being. The old liar said these words to Chen Xian afterwards, and his expression was also very surprised, because this parasitic arm had been in his warehouse for a long time, and he had never noticed that this arm was so strange from beginning to end.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the old liar, the grade of this arm should be about the same as the meat saw sold to Chen Xian, even if it is a cut worse than the meat saw...... That's enough to be proud of the objects he has received in recent years.
An inhuman stump that can be called a "god" will still have such terrifying energy thousands of years later, so how strong should it be when it is alive?
After careful study by the old liar and Chen Xian, it is basically certain that there seems to be some kind of ancient and powerful power hidden in this arm, but this power is hidden deeply, as if it is integrated into the limbs and bones of the host Xu Yanan, and it is extremely difficult to sense their existence, and it is even more impossible to use them...... Therefore, Xu Yanan has been trying to channel these energies in every possible way these days, including the old liar, and he also wants to see what this power from ancient Egypt looks like.
Many years ago, that is, when Chen Xian's grandfather Chen Ba was still alive, the old liar and Chen Ba and Zhou Tuan used to travel together in all directions, and the area they set foot in was not only in China, but also led by Chen Ba, a person who loves to travel, and they wandered in China for a few years before moving abroad...... Dwarf. country, Korea, India, Philippines, Thailand. They have traveled almost all over East Asia, and then they have traveled to other countries, especially the areas where anomalies are frequent, which can arouse their interest even more, and it can be said that almost 90% of the countries in the world have left their footprints.
At first, they were also curious about what the Inhumans who awakened on the banks of the Nile looked like, so Egypt was also a place for them to settle down on that journey around the world, and there they also saw some of the abilities of the Inhumans of Egypt.
Very similar to the Inhumans in the country.
Egypt's ability to awaken from the Innate Inhumans varies, but Zong. Religious Inhumans...... They are almost divided into two categories.
One is good at communicating with nature, similar to domestic shamans.
The other group is more proficient in the way of life and death.
Whether living or dying, this polar phenomenon is a source of their power, and they seem to be able to summon dead creatures using some kind of "law" or magic, which is not as simple as conjuring spirits...... In a way, this way of resurrecting dead creatures is very similar to the domestic conjuring of corpses, but they rarely use corpses, at most using medium such as the hair and nails of dead corpses.
The substance they use the most is sand.
That's right.
It's the windswept sand that can be seen everywhere in Egypt.
According to the native Inhumans of Egypt, the more ancient the inheritance, the more mysterious it is, and the energy that can burst out of those ancient spells is not comparable to modern spells.
Therefore, the old liar is full of curiosity about Xu Yanan's future, although her physique is completely different from the original. The spells are all insulated from her, and there are only a few spells that can be used...... But as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings depend on, and after receiving that arm transplant, although she can no longer study the traditional ones. Teach magic, but her future path is also full of possibilities, and the old liar wants to help her because of this possibility.
The old liar decided to help her get some spiritual texts from Egypt, and whether she could use them or not, she might as well read them, and maybe she would find the trick to channeling those ancient energies.
Time is like flowing water.
After everyone began to prepare for the Kunlun Society, a month passed like a white horse, and Li Daosheng and Lu Yisheng's injuries also recovered more than eighty percent.
But just when everyone was preparing to conduct actual combat drills according to the plan, Li Daosheng and Xu Yanan, the two children of the family, received a call from the family on the same day, and the call was made by the patriarch himself.
On the phone, the two heads of the family made the same request, in addition to greeting the children as usual...... They demanded that Xu Yanan and Li Daosheng must return to the family as soon as possible, and no later than the day after receiving the call.
Why let them go home at this juncture?
Didn't these two old men know that the Kunlun Conference was about to be held, and now was the time to make pre-war preparations?
All these questions were not answered, because the reactions of the two patriarchs of Li Xu and Xu were almost the same, and they were reluctant to say more than half a word on the phone, but only urged them to go back quickly.
For the children of the family, the patriarch's orders are above all else, but Li Daosheng and Xu Yanan are both habitual offenders who violate the family's orders, and many times the patriarch can't help them...... Who made those two old men love to spoil their grandsons and granddaughters? So as long as Li Daosheng and Xu Yanan don't want to go back, then no one can force them, not to mention that the two of them have Chen Xian as a big backer behind them.
Borrowing ten dares from two major families, do they dare to come to Ningchuan to ask for someone?
But in the end, Xu Yanan and Li Daosheng still agreed, this has nothing to do with the patriarch's order, it is just their respective wishes, after all, they have to start to get busy after this time, maybe when they will have time to go back to see the old man, saying that they don't want their grandfather to be fake, so the day after receiving the call, they packed their luggage, and left Ningchuan with a feeling of regret after saying goodbye to everyone......
