XLII. The Egyptian tribes
"Hold a banquet and welcome friends from the East!"
Instantly, the people around began to cheer, and the people outside also cheered. We were all a little confused, but it didn't seem dangerous.
After a while, we were seated in a tent and all kinds of tropical fruits were served, Egyptian dates, green soup, and roasted lizards. Looking at what is in front of me, because I have raised lizards, I only dare to eat fruits. Brother Dong tasted the roasted lizard and said with a look of surprise; "Hmm!! Delicious! Taste it, you're starving to death along the way. Well, this soup is delicious too. β
After a while, as soon as the music started, several Egyptian dancers began to perform belly dances for us, and a few sat next to us to pour us wine.
Sister Yue is eating, while smiling at the beauties next to her, this fake Zhengtai's charm is amazing, there are more and more beauties around her, and she keeps grabbing her hair.
Looking at the dust wind again, he sat straight, with black lines on his face, with his handsome appearance, it was conceivable that the beauties next to him were leaning on him. But his face was not very good, he didn't eat, and stared at Sister Yue with slanted eyes. Just when I was about to say something, suddenly Sister Yue pulled those beauties to her side, and turned out a bunch of small jewelry from her bag, and the beauties around her instantly screamed, grabbing jewelry around Sister Yue. I thought to myself, eldest sister, you can do it, or a woman understands a woman.
At this time, Dustwind breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat. He tasted good, but I couldn't get my mouth when I looked at the lizard.
Just then, a young man came up with another pot of roasted lizards. I politely asked, "Well, is there any chicken?" β
The young man obviously did not understand Chinese, and I continued to explain "Chicken. chickγγ Cluck. Cluck.. The kind called. In order to make it clear, I stretched my neck as I spoke, and fanned my hands into wings. The Egyptian beauty next to me covered her mouth and looked at me and smiled.
Burst.. The dust wind seems to be choked by the soup.
"Crazy. . . Are you okay. β
He ignored me and turned around and continued to eat his own.
It seems that the young man who served me can't say clearly, so I have to give up. It was important to do something serious, and then I found the professor:
"Professor, how did you get here?"
The professor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, yes, the British are really particular.
"I was waiting for you, but I was tied up here by a group of armed men." Then he whispered to me, "It should be the bounty issued by this patriarch." β
"Oh, I see, then, how much do you know about my situation?"
"I probably heard from Professor Wu." The professor looked at the patriarch. I probably understood what he meant, so I whispered too.
"Why did the Professor, the patriarch, let us come here?"
"It may have something to do with the ancient tomb," the professor carefully pushed his glasses.
"Will he be bad for us? I don't think it's appropriate to stay long, so let's get out of here tomorrow. β
"This is their territory, and they can't leave, so they may not be able to help us." The professor shook his head.
I saw that the professor was more restrained, and it might not be convenient to say a lot, so I walked over to Brother Dong and sat down, pretending to drink:
"Brother Dong, we may have to explore the surrounding situation in a while."
Brother Dong picked up the wine glass, put one hand around my shoulder, clinked glasses with the other, and whispered in my ear: "I chatted with the translator for a few words, there are all theirs in a hundred miles here, and the power is not small, and I can't afford to provoke it." β
Later, I chatted with Brother Dong a few words and drank some local wine.
I didn't eat, I drank again, and soon I got a little up...
As soon as I turned around, a pair of beautiful eyes just met me, and I almost forgot that there were two beautiful women next to me. They were so close to me, and I responded politely with a smile, and to be honest, the girls here are really beautiful. She smiled at me too, and I was a little fascinated by it. She put her hand on my shoulder, and my heart raced. For a normal man, who can stand this temptation. I looked at this girl, her eyes were so big, her eyelashes were so long, and her skin was so delicate. Looking at her beautiful face and beautiful neck, suddenly I felt that I could see the blood vessels in her neck, the blood in it was very attractive, I could even smell her blood...
Then little by little I approached her neck ...
Suddenly, I was grabbed by someone. The force of this handful was quite strong, and the pain suddenly woke me up. Looking back, it was dusty wind. Then he got up and walked outside the tent. I sensed something was wrong with me, so I quickly followed out of the tent. The cool air outside made me sober up a lot.
After the dinner, the maid arranged a tent for us, and was about to go in, when the interpreter stopped me.
"Mr. Dream, the patriarch invites you to come over."
I was stunned, I was going to take a look around together at night, but it didn't seem to work now. The few of us looked at each other, I winked at Brother Dong and Dustwind, they nodded, and I followed the interpreter outside.
Passing through a dimly lit tent area, I followed to a larger stone building in the back, which also had buildings. The construction is very exquisite, it should be a thousand years old, the stone walls are very smooth, and the huge stone Egyptian statues stand on both sides of the doorway.
Walking up the high steps, after entering, I found that the space inside was actually decorated with gold, and they all said that Egyptians like gold, and sure enough. I couldn't wait to look at the golden reliefs and bright frescoes, all of which were talking about the process of sacrifice. Further in, there is a circular space topped by a golden dome. The patriarch stood in front. Along the sides of the colonnade stood a large number of guards and maids.
"Mr. Dream, the patriarch invites you to come and receive the water of the gods together, please." The interpreter made a gesture of please.
At this time, the patriarch turned to look at me, his eyes were a little strange, the expression seemed to know me, smiled, waved his hand, and a few maids came up next to him, and began to change the patriarch's clothes. To be honest, this patriarch is so white-skinned that if he doesn't move, I'd really think he's a zombie.
Then a few maids came next to me, and it seemed that they were going to change my clothes too. This?
"Wait, me, I don't need to change my clothes." I hurriedly waved my hand.
"The clothes you have on now are too dirty, and they are disrespectful to the water of the gods."
"Well, I'll do it myself." Asking a strange woman to change my clothes is still not very accustomed.
I quickly changed into it, and found that this dress was a white robe, obviously an Egyptian robe, but I wore the feeling of Hanfu... Maybe you're wearing something wrong...
The interpreter looked at me with a frown and said, "Please step forward." β
I came to where the patriarch was standing. With a wave of his hand, a maid brought something up to me and walked up to me, and I found it to be a necklace, but in front of it was a hollowed-out metal frame. At first glance, you can see that it is made of gold.
"Mr. Dream, where is your Eye of Abyss?"
"Abyss"? I kept searching for this word in my head, and suddenly I remembered that this name was the name of the Black Hole Stone in Egypt. How did he know the name? I couldn't help but get nervous.
"Oh, you mean the Black Hole Stone? I didn't bring it with me. I stared carefully at the necklace.
"It's okay, this is a greeting gift from the patriarch, and it is used to wear the Eye of Abys." The interpreter said as he placed the necklace in my hand.
"I, this, this is too valuable, I didn't bring any gifts for the patriarch." I wanted to push it off, but the translator had no intention of getting it back. I was a little panicked, did the professor tell them about the black hole stone?
"You don't need to prepare anything, you can come and give us the best gift." The interpreter continued to pose please. I just noticed that the patriarch was going up the stairs. So I followed.
When I reached the top of the stairs, I realized that there was a circular pool in front of me, but the strange thing was that the water took on an emerald green color. And it also emits a silver glow.
At this time, the singing of the Qur'an was released outside. It should be the local people who worship it.
With the singing, the patriarch walked into the pool step by step, signaling me to come down too, I hesitated for a moment, and touched the water with my hand, warm! Is it a hot spring? Forget it, it's time to take a bath. Walk down and sit on the stone steps. After a day of rolling in the desert, it was not bad to be able to take a bath. It's amazing that there are hot springs in the middle of the desert. But the color of this water is indeed too weird. Seeing the patriarch sitting in the water with his eyes closed, there should be no danger. If Brother Dong knew that I was soaking in the hot springs, he would be envious to death.
After entering the water, the water temperature gradually increased, and it felt quite comfortable. Let's talk about something in the bath:
"Is this a hot spring?" I rubbed my feet and looked at the translator.
The interpreter looked at me in disgust and replied, "This is not a hot spring, this is a divine water from the gods." "After saying that, he stared at my feet.
I was a little embarrassed to look at, and slowly, put my foot down. It seems that this question is not appropriate, so let's change it: "Excuse me, is there any special reason why the patriarch spent a lot of money to come to us?" β
The patriarch just closed his eyes and did not speak.
"You're looking for an old cemetery, aren't you?" The translator suddenly touched on the key point.
"Well, we're just here to investigate." I paused. Is our purpose exposed?
"If you just investigate and study, you won't be able to enter the water of God." The translator said with a smile.
"Why?" I looked at him curiously.
Just look at him suddenly grabbed the hand of a maid, and instantly plunged into the water, the maid screamed and pulled out his hand, and the whole hand was already red! I stood up in surprise and looked into the water, but I didn't feel that the water was hot! What he did made me feel very uncomfortable.
I really don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd, anyway, we have to leave quickly tomorrow, and I feel a little panicked.
Just when I was distracted, I suddenly felt some tingling pain in my arm, what was wrong, I looked at my arm, and I saw a bunch of red marks slowly protruding, and it hurt more and more. I hurriedly got up, could it be allergies? Or is the water poisonous?
At this time, the color of the water also changed, gradually changing from emerald green to golden yellow. I was a little scared, and just as I was about to turn around and get out of the water, suddenly, someone grabbed me, and I looked back and saw that it was the patriarch. His eyes were still closed, but I couldn't struggle with the strength of the hand and the dusty wind. Because of his status, I'm embarrassed to kick him. What can I do...
"Patriarch, this water is not for me." I said politely.
"Please bear with me, it will be all right soon." The translator suddenly said something in front of me. I saw a few strong men who looked like guards coming over from behind. When I looked at their position, it was clear that they were in front of me, preventing me from going out.
There was another huge pain in the place of the red mark on my arm, and I frowned and looked at my arm, the pain made me sweat all over. Those red marks are even more pronounced. Then my body began to get hot, and I thought it was not good, so I turned over and jumped out of the water.
Before he could take a step, he was suddenly pushed back into the water by several guards. They didn't dare to enter the water, but the patriarch held my shoulder in the water, and I couldn't get up for a while, and the burning sensation continued. When I looked up, I suddenly saw a pair of huge eyes printed on the entire dome. The eyes were the same as those of a snake, and I was startled and struggled hard, just when I felt the burning sting and scream.
"Alright." The translator shouted.
My shoulders felt like they were letting go in an instant, and I quickly got up and glared at them.
"You guys, what do you mean by that!?" I gasped and shouted.
None of them spoke, and the patriarch just looked at my arm with satisfaction.
I noticed that there was no burning sensation in the water, and when I looked at my arm again, a black hole stone symbol appeared on my arm. This, what's going on, I quickly looked at the patriarch.
The patriarch looked at me and smiled and said, "You, it's God's choice. β
"You, do you know Chinese?" I looked at him in amazement.
"I won't, but, God has given me the power of your language." The patriarch said to me with a smile.
I looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief. It is impossible for a person to learn a language in such a short time!
I don't believe in God or God! I give the fuck who chooses whom. Hurriedly jumped out of the pool, grabbed his clothes and ran. They didn't stop me.
Running back to the tent, I fell on the bed, feeling exhausted, very tired, thinking that there was definitely something wrong with this patriarch. Brother Dong, they haven't come back yet, and I don't know how the situation is.
I lay on my bed weakly, intending to go to bed to relieve the tiredness, when the tent curtain was lifted. The interpreter walked in, followed by a very pretty, but very scantily dressed, girl.
"Mr. Mengchao, this girl was given to you by the patriarch, and she can accompany you tonight." As he spoke, he was about to pull the girl over.
I hurriedly stopped, "No, thanks, I don't need to." β
The interpreter gave me a strange look and approached me as he spoke.
"You must be the one chosen by stone, you can't live without blood. A girl's blood is the tastiest, are you sure you don't want to? β
When I heard this, I was stunned, he was... How... Aware? Do I need blood? I felt a little short of breath and gasping for breath, and this sudden message made me feel relieved.
The interpreter smiled and walked out of the tent, and the pretty girl slowly approached me. For some reason, I saw a girl at the beginning, but now I saw a blood-red figure, and I shook my head vigorously, resisting the feeling, and the singing of the scriptures outside filled my nerves. The tempting blood, I really, almost couldn't control it, I hadn't eaten, hunger rushed madly, and the moment her fingers touched my cheek, I pulled her over, pressed her, blood, my brain was full of blood now.
Then, I took a bite. The girl was struggling, I still held it down, greedily sucking the blood, this taste, sweet, but, as if, I have tasted such a taste, the blood of the dust wind is also sweet. Just when the word dust and wind appeared in my mind, I suddenly felt like I had been kicked away. The pain brought my sanity back a lot, and I hurriedly sat up, and the dust wind was right in front of me, holding me up. And I saw the girl lying on the ground, and the wound on her neck, and the blood was still flowing out.
I instantly realized what I had done, my body shook, my eyes widened and I stared at the girl on the ground, fear made me sit on the ground and kick the ground and retreat to the edge of the bed, and began to tremble...
Dustwind quickly put his hand on the girl's neck and said to me, "It's okay, relax, she's still alive." β
I relieved my tense nerves a little and leaned to the side. I can't believe I'm actually ... He quickly called for someone and carried the girl out for healing.
The translator walked in again:
"Mr. Dream. Don't you really need to? You still look weak. β
Dustwind stood in front of me, and said to the interpreter with anger, "He doesn't need it. β
The translator glanced at Dusty Wind and left with a puzzled expression. The moment the curtain was lowered, I shrank uncontrollably on the ground and shivered.
Blood! It turned out to be blood!!!
All along, my anemia is not a disease, no wonder I had so many blood transfusions before, it turns out that what I need is blood.
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to accept, am I a vampire? Do you know that the dust wind gave me to drink his bloodγγγ
I started scratching my hair, how could this be! When I raised my arm, Dusty Wind grabbed my arm, looked at the black hole stone symbol on it, and looked at me anxiously,
"What did they do to you?" There was anger in his tone.
