Chapter 15: The Story of Jute and the Moroccans (3)
Jute acceded to the Moroccan's request and offered to help him find the magical book of prophecy in the city. Abdullah Maide was overjoyed, took a thousand gold coins from his saddle bag, gave them to Jute, and made an appointment with him for three weeks. Still meet by this lake. Jute returned home happily with the money, told his mother about his adventures with the Moroccans, and gave her a thousand gold coins, saying: "Mother, we will never worry about money again, you can use these gold coins to arrange your life." ”
My mother laughed as if she was in a dream. In order not to worry his mother, Jute did not tell her that he had promised the Moroccans to venture to the Mordor capital.
On the twenty-first day, Jutt went out early in the morning and came to the lake where he used to fish. Abdullah Maide was already waiting there, and he smiled and said to Jute, "Today is the day that your father prophesied that the gates of the Demon Capital can be opened. Are you ready, Judt-" "Yes, sir. "Good." The Moroccan took the box out of his saddle bag, opened the lid, and began to cast a spell until four fish of different colors cried out for help in the box, saying: "O prophet of the world! We have come at our command, please have mercy on us!"
Abdullah Maed hurriedly asked, "If you don't want to be tortured any more, tell me honestly—what is the origin of you strange fish-what does it have to do with the Demon Capital-" The four fish said together, "We were originally inhabitants of the Demon City, and we were enchanted by an evil witch to turn into fish!"
"Then tell me how to open the gate of the Demon Capital, and open the treasure trove of the Demon Capital-" said the fish, "The gate of the Demon Capital is at the bottom of this lake, and only today is the day of the year when the gate of the Demon Capital can be opened - when the noon sun shines on the center of the lake, the lake will dry up in an instant, and then you can enter the depths of the Demon City by jumping into the deep hole at the bottom of the lake." But remember, you must be back within an hour, otherwise the lake will be restored and the gates of the magic capital will be closed. As for the treasure vault of the Demon Capital, due to the spell cast by the old king of the Demon Capital, everyone who wants to enter it will die. It is said that only the descendants of the old king and the son of the great prophet Hamai were allowed to enter. ”
"Juth, the son of the great prophet Hamai, is here listening to you." Abdullah Maed said, "Since you are telling the truth, then I will let you go." Med put the four-colored fish into the lake, turned to Judt and said, "You just heard it, why do I have to ask for your help—only you can enter the treasure house of the Demon City and find the Book of Prophecy." But remember, don't be greedy, and don't touch anything other than the book of prophecy, or you may incur murder. "But, sir, I suspect they are mistaken."
Jute became worried at this time, "Although I am the son of Hamai, I don't know any magic or special skills. A magician like you can't enter the treasure house of the Demon Capital, and I, an ordinary person, won't I be sent to death-" Maid patted him on the shoulder and said, "Judt, you have to have faith in yourself. I think your father had expected this day to come, so he arranged for you and me to meet, and I'm sure you'll find a way to break the spell when you get there—it's your destiny, so don't worry. "Well, sir, I'll try my best."
Zhu nodded and said. They waited by the lake until noon, and when the midday sun reached the center of the lake, sure enough, the lake dried up in an instant. At the bottom of the lake are countless four-colored fish and human corpses. Jute was shocked and terrified, but Maed urged from the side: "Quick, Judt, jump!" Remember, you only have one hour, get the prophecy book and come back quickly!"
Jute gritted his teeth and leaped into the deep hole at the bottom of the lake. When he stood up from the ground, he found that he had never seen a world before, and the scenery around him was strange and unfamiliar. Judt had no time to look closely, thinking that he would have to return in an hour, so he spread his feet and ran forward. The place was lifeless and lifeless, and there were no people or animals to be seen along the way, not even the flowers and trees had long since died.
Jutt ran for an unknown amount of time, and saw a huge golden gate appear in front of him, as tall as a city gate, with two metal gate rings hanging from it. Judt guessed that the inside of this golden gate was the treasure house of the Demon Capital, and he mustered up the courage to step forward. Jutt walked to the door, and suddenly felt a little familiar about the scene, as if he had seen or heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. He grabbed the knocker and knocked lightly, but there was no response: after waiting a while, Jutt knocked a second time, slightly heavier than the first: he waited a little longer, and then knocked a third time.
This time, a rough question came from inside: "Who is knocking on the door of the treasure house-" Hearing this, Jute suddenly remembered - when he was a child, his father had repeatedly told a story of a treasure theft to himself—the scene and content of that story were exactly the same as what he was experiencing now! Jute understood a little in his heart. My father must have known that this day would come, so he told him how to break the spell in the form of a story. Thinking of this, he mustered up the courage to reply, "I am Jute the fisherman." ”
The door to the treasury slowly opened, revealing a one-eyed giant with a great axe in hand. The giant said, "If you are really Juter, stretch your neck and let me cut off your head." Judt's heart was pounding—the situation was exactly the same as the story his father had told, and he remembered very well how the people in the story coped and broke the spell. But he
Not sure if this should really be done. But the present situation did not allow him to think carefully, and the giant had already raised the sharp axe, and Jute had only mustered the courage to stretch his neck over like the man in the story, and said, "All right, let you cut it." ”
The great axe slashed down, and Jute closed his eyes nervously. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and found himself unharmed, and the giant had fallen dead in front of him. Jute was overjoyed, knowing that he had succeeded in breaking the spell. He didn't dare to delay and walked forward. After a short journey, Jute came to the second door, he knocked on the door, this time the door opened, and a knight on a war horse with a spear came out, and said, "This is a forbidden place where men and gods cannot come, who brought you here-" and stabbed Jute with his spear. Judt knew what to do with the experience of the previous time, and he was undaunted to puff out his chest and let him stab him. As soon as the spear touched his body, the knight suddenly collapsed, turning into a corpse. Jute continued forward, knocked on the third door, and a man with a bow and arrow came out.
Judt had mastered the rules and knew that he must not back down, otherwise there was only a dead end. He held his chest up and let the bow and arrow come at him, and as on the first two occasions, the archer fell to the ground and turned into a corpse. When he came to the fourth gate, a black slave came out of the door and asked, "Who are you-" Jutt told him, "I am Jute the fisherman." The black slave said, "If you are really Juter, you should know the code words to open the fifth door, you can try it." ”
Jutt walked to the fifth door. Recall what your father said in the story, and then say the secret phrase as it is: "Jesus, tell Moses to open the door quickly!" The fifth gate opened in response, and a large python on the left and right sides of the door pounced with its mouth open. Jutt stepped forward and stretched out his hands so that each of the two pythons could hold one hand—and both snakes died at once.
Jutt walked forward for a while. When he came to the sixth gate, he hesitated a little - he remembered that his father had said in the story that this sixth gate was the last gate, so the spell inside was the most unpredictable and powerful. Each time it can confuse and trick the person trying to pass in a different form, so there is no fixed way to crack it, and if you are not careful, you will die here - there is only one corresponding method, no matter what the situation, you can only do the opposite. And be improvised, be careful.
Thinking of this, Jute had a plan in his heart. He took a deep breath and pushed open the sixth door. What he didn't expect was that there was no fierce beast in it as he imagined, but his own home! Moreover, the mother stood in front of the door and said to him affectionately: "Welcome back, my son." ”
Jutt stood in front of the door, not knowing what to do for a moment. His mother came up to him, holding a warm woolen coat in her hand, and said, "Son, it must be very cold outside, and you will freeze if you wear such a thin one, so put on the clothes that your mother has made for you." Unbewildered by the heartwarming scenes, Judt reminded himself that these were all hallucinations created by spells, and once believed, he didn't know what terrible things would happen. At the same time, his mind was spinning quickly - Mom wanted 'me' to 'put on' clothes, and vice versa......
"Mother" came up to him and was about to put on his clothes, when Jute exclaimed, "Stand away! Take off your clothes!" The mother looked at him in surprise: "Son, I am your biological mother, how can you say such a rebellious thing!" Judt continued to shout, "Take it off! Hurry up and take your clothes off!" The mother cried: "I am the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, I was pregnant in October, and I gave birth to you in pain, and it was not easy for me to give birth to you, how can you make my body-"
Judt's heart trembled, but he knew that if he made a mistake, he would die immediately. Therefore, I dare not be soft-hearted. He took down the sword hanging on the wall on the right and forced her to say, "If you don't take it off, I'll kill you!" They are entangled and quarreled with each other. Judt's mother, under his coercion, finally took off a piece of clothing. Jute shouted, "Take off the rest." After much pestering, she took off another one. When she took off all her clothes, she immediately turned into a dried corpse and fell straight down.
Jute knew he had succeeded, and he had broken the entire magic spell. Jute hurried through the sixth gate, and this time, he finally went straight to the treasure house of the Demon Capital. In the huge treasury, there were piles of gold, silver and treasures, but he remembered what Medder had told him not to be greedy, so he ignored all kinds of treasures and walked straight to a secret room in front of the treasure house, where there was a table, and on the table was the prophecy book that Medder was looking for! It reads the words "Centuries".
Jutt picked up the book on the table and ran back the way he came—he didn't know how long it had been, but he estimated that an hour was not long in coming. When he climbed up from the deep hole at the bottom of the lake, the water rushed up from the bottom, and Jute struggled to swim up, and finally surfaced. Maider was waiting anxiously by the lake, and when he saw Jute float up, he was overjoyed, and reached out to grab Jutt and pull him up.
Judt handed the book of prophecy to Maud, who saw the cover of the book and immediately knew that it was the book of the centuries that his father had written. He was so happy that he could hardly feel sorry for himself, and jumped up and hugged Jutt, and said to him:
"From now on, Judt, I will know everything that is about to happen in this world! You've done me a great favor, and I'm going to repay you—I'm willing to watch this book with you—let's see what happens next in the world—
