Chapter 527: The Golden Sutra of the Sun
PS: Thank you to the two students of "Shiryl" and "Tian X Xin" for voting for their valuable monthly tickets!
However, since it is an ownerless treasure, Zhou Chao, who has the ability to take them away, will naturally not be polite, and immediately flipped his palm, took out the material digitization converter, and used his superpower to carry various items to the open space in front of him, while using the matter digitizer to convert the treasure, and turned the treasure into a digital signal into the material digitizer.
In this way, ten minutes later, the treasure in the space was collected by the Zhou Dynasty.
Then Zhou Chao put away the material digitizer and continued to walk forward with Charlotte.
After passing through the hall where countless treasures were placed, there was a slender corridor with a wide and high bottom for only one adult, and it was dark inside, but it was difficult for the two Zhou Dynasty who had an alternative light source in their hands, so the two did not hesitate, and walked straight into the corridor.
The road is not long, only more than four meters, it didn't take much time for the two to come to the end, and then a space of about forty square meters was presented in the eyes of Zhou Chao and Charlotte, there was no superfluous furnishings inside, only a sitting statue of the sun god stood in the center, the surface was painted with gold powder, and it refracted a faint brilliance under the illumination of the nanomachine qì light source.
Zhou Chao, who saw the statue of the sun god, did not hesitate, and immediately set off to walk in front of the statue of the sun god and squatted down, clasped the left and right sides of the square platform where the statue of the sun god sat and stepped on with both hands, and the superpower was activated, and a square wooden box with a bottom edge of about 80 cm long, about 30 cm wide, and about 25 cm high was dragged out from the feet of the statue with a soft sound of "poof".
The dust was raised, making Zhou Chao frown and turn his head.
At the same time, Charlotte, who found that Zhou Chao had found something again, walked to the box with a curious face, and looked at the box in Zhou Chao's hand with some expectation. Apparently trying to see what's inside.
Zhou Chao didn't hide this, and opened the box generously.
"Smack."
Then a large square object, slightly thinner than the width of the box, and wrapped in a piece of sheepskin cloth, appeared in the eyes of the two men. Then Zhou Chao lifted the sheepskin and completely revealed the things wrapped inside.
It was a large metal book with a golden glow refracted by a light source, and the surface was poured with strange lines and patterns in gold. A large octagonal depression that resembles the sun and rays occupies half of the cover of the book, and an eye of Horus is drawn inside, indicating the ownership of the book.
Because in ancient Egyptian society, the Eye of Horus represented the protection and supremacy of the gods, and was a symbol of royal power, and ordinary people had no right to use this symbol.
In ancient Egyptian society, the representative of the monarchy, Pharaoh, was also referred to as the son of Ra, the god of the sun. Coupled with the fact that Horus himself is associated with the sun god - the right eye represents the sun and the left eye represents the moon, it is not surprising that the book will be hidden at the foot of the sun god's seated statue.
"What is this?" Charlotte propped her hands on her knees and leaned over. Looking at the golden book exposed in the box, he asked curiously.
"The Golden Book of the Sun, the legend of all the secret spells of ancient Egypt. At the same time, it is also a sacred book handed down by the sun god Ra, and it is said that it records the method of allowing mortals to enter the kingdom of God and meet the gods and demons. Zhou Chao picked up the golden book in the box with both hands, stood up and introduced.
"Really?" Charlotte looked at the Sun Golden Sutra in Zhou Chao's hand in surprise.
Magic she had already seen, so she believed it, but gods and demons...... Before witnessing it with her own eyes, Charlotte was still skeptical, let alone saying that a single scripture could make people transcend such things. If it were that simple, would God be visible to all believers in the Christian world?
"Who knows, maybe it's just an exaggeration after legend." Zhou Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, then flipped his free right hand. He took the key he had obtained on the ship before, and when he took it to his eyes and looked at it for a moment, eight triangular plates like knife pages were unfolded from the box with a "clatter", and then turned over and buckled. The key was pressed tightly into the pit on the cover of the Sun Gold Sutra, and then twisted, and the two short metal locks on the Sun Gold Sutra "snapped" and automatically popped open.
Then Zhou Chao put away the key to complete the mission. Holding the Golden Sutra of the Sun with both hands, he unfolded it and looked down at the contents inside.
Although Charlotte on the side knew that she must not be able to read it, she still walked to Zhou Chao's side out of curiosity and looked at the contents of the page.
Immediately, a large number of glyphs and patterns written in the palindromic style unique to ancient Egypt came into the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty and Charlotte.
"The spirits of the dead arise and sing the sun and praise you, alah. Towards your amazing ascent! Thou hast risen, thou hast shone, and thou hast made the heavens roll aside. You are the King of the gods, the Lord of all things, from whom we came, and through whom we were made holy. Thy priests come out at dawn to wash their hearts with laughter; The sacred wind, with music, blows through your golden strings. At sunset, they embrace you like a cloud shining on your wings. ......" Then, Zhou Chao, who knew that Charlotte couldn't understand it, read out the contents of the first page of the Golden Sutra of the Sun in a language that Charlotte could understand.
"It sounds like a hymn or a sacrificial prayer." Charlotte tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded slightly in agreement, and then turned the first page and read the content on the second page. However, after waiting for a long time, Charlotte did not hear Zhou Chao's voice sound again.
"Why don't you read it?" Charlotte wondered.
From this page onwards, the text above is a mantra used by ancient Egyptian monks. Although they may seem like positive spells such as exorcism, prayer, blessing, exorcism of wild beasts, channeling, and judgment, there is also civilization in view of the state of society in ancient Egypt...... Who knows what the form of these mantras will look like once they take effect? So for the sake of safety, it's better not to read it. Zhou Chao explained.
Hearing this, Charlotte nodded in understanding. Then he didn't speak, and quietly watched Zhou Chao browse the contents of the Sun Golden Sutra page by page until he finished reading them all.
"Done?" Charlotte asked knowingly.
"Yes." Zhou Chao replied lightly, raised his hand and closed the Sun Golden Sutra in his hand, and put it into the space bracer.
"How? Is there a way to meet the Divine? Charlotte wondered.
"Yes, yes, it's just a little different from what I thought." Zhou Chao shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Really?" Charlotte was shocked.
"Well, it's just a way of mental conjecture, and the effect is the same as having a mental illness, so I'm not sure if this method is effective." Zhou Chao said helplessly.
In the records of the Golden Sutra of the Sun, there are three main ways to meet the gods and demons, one is to use a mantra, as long as you recite it, you can see the gods and demons, but the premise is that the person who uses this mantra must be the pharaoh, according to the Golden Sutra of the Sun, this is the grace that the sun god pulls to his descendants or patrons. Secondly, it can also be used for advanced and pious sacrifices, but the success rate is not high.
The second way is the use of rituals, which are mainly aimed at monks, and the specific process is very complex, and it is the environment, prayer, and incense, which feels similar to the séance ritual in the occult.
The third is divine grace, that is, when the sun god is happy, he will receive you, and the specific situation is completely unknown, as long as you yourself are a devout disciple of the sun god.
It was completely different from what the Zhou Dynasty expected.
"Oh." Charlotte, who received the reply, nodded and did not say anything about it.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Zhou Chao took a light breath, readjusted his mood, and turned his head to Charlotte beside him.
"Yes." Charlotte agreed.
Then the two of them did not stay in the space where the Sun God was located, and went into another corridor connected to the Sun God and continued to explore in the Hamna Tower.
The Tower of Hamna can be described as a passage connecting passages, secret doors and secret doors, criss-crossed, extremely complex, maybe you are still in another passage one second, and the next second because of touching a certain mechanism suddenly turned into another channel, and the line is twisted and turned, making it easy to get lost, but fortunately, it still basically abides by the architectural design ideas of ancient Egypt, plus the Zhou Dynasty threw so many nanomachines yesterday, so it was not able to stump the Zhou Dynasty, so after spending some time, Zhou Chao and Charlotte came to another destination of Zhou Chao's trip - between ceremonies. That is, the place in the movie where Immorton wants to resurrect Ansunam.
Then Zhou Chao stepped forward and came to the sacrificial platform.
"It doesn't seem like anything special." Zhou Chao walked around the stone altar and carefully observed every line and rune carved on the altar, but he didn't find anything special on it.
"Could it be the black mud of the pool, or the power of the Bible of the Dead?" Then, Zhou Chao walked to the side of the black quagmire that exuded a faint peculiar smell, pinched his chin with his hand, looked down at the mud in the quagmire, and frowned.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter which one he is, just take it all."
Thinking of this, Zhou Chao did not hesitate, flipped his wrist, took out two test tube bottles containing light gray liquid inside, uncorked the bottles, and poured the liquid inside on the ground in the ceremony room.
"Jarvis, separate the altar and the black mud pool from the ground!" Zhou Chao ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir."
The next moment, the dark liquid that had been poured on the ground disappeared, and the ground quickly began to melt in a visible way...... In just a moment, a finger's width or so of pitch-black marks appeared on the edge of the black mud pool and the altar...... (To be continued......)
