Chapter 61: The Golden Sutra of the Sun

"This is an insect eater." Eve's face turned stern.

"Insect devouring?" O'Connor asked, confused.

"Look." Eve picks up a bug carapace from the bottom of the sarcophagus.

"Scarabs?"

"Yes, carnivorous scarabs. This is a legendary bug that absolutely does not exist in nature. Legend has it that the scarab beetle was raised by a priest's secret method and ate meat. ”

"So, this man was eaten alive by the scarab beetle?" O'Connor said as he looked at the distorted humanoid.

"Yes, he mummified it while he was alive and put it in the scarab."

"It is said that those who are convicted of insect devouring will have their eyes gouged out, their tongues cut out, and then slowly eaten by scarabs." Eve affirmed O'Connor's claim.

"He must have been very unpopular to be treated like this." Jonathan said from the side.

"Eighty percent and Pharaoh's daughter are too close." O'Connor guessed.

Eve was amused by O'Connor's statement.

"As far as I know, this punishment, called "insect devouring," is the most vicious of curses and is used exclusively against heinous sinners. ”

"But from my research, I've never heard of this curse being practiced." Eve said seriously

"And how do you count that?" O'Connor gestured to the mummy in front of him.

"I don't know, there's no record of this in history. And the reason why this sentence is not carried out is because there are very severe consequences. ”

The book says that the resurrection of "worm-eaten" sinners will bring ten plagues to Egypt. Eve explained why the punishment could not be imposed.

"Resurrection? It's impossible. O'Connor was a little unconvinced.

"No, it's possible." Goofy, who had been silent, spoke.

"Huh? Are you still there? Jonathan was startled by Goofy's sudden voice.

"You're saying the resurrection is possible?" Eve immediately became interested in the mystical magic.

"Yes, and there are quite a few ways. It's just that this guy is really terrifying once he is resurrected. ”

"You are invisible to mortals, but this mummy is still alive in my eyes." Goofy could clearly see a distorted, transparent humanoid wailing in the mummy.

"He's still alive?" Eve was taken aback by Goofy's words.

"His soul is still on this mummy, and he is constantly suffering from painful punishment. Because he was cursed, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, once he was resurrected, three thousand years of terrifying torture would be turned into boundless mana, allowing him to run rampant in the world. Goofy said what he saw, and even if he didn't rely on the plot, Goofy could come to the same conclusion.

The three O'Connor were shocked by what Goofy said, it turned out that they could really be resurrected?!

"Eve, do you want to take a look at the Golden Sutra of the Sun?" Goofy's sudden proposal brought Eve back to her senses.

"The Golden Sutra of the Sun? Did you find it? Eve immediately became excited.

"I know where it is, but I just looked around the entire tomb and couldn't find it." Goofy was also puzzled by the fact that O'Connor had found the statue of the sun god very easily in the original book, and he couldn't find it when he searched around.

"Where?" Eve immediately asked.

"Between the legs of the statue of the sun god."

"This is impossible, according to the book, the Golden Sutra of the Sun was placed between the legs of the statue of Anubis, the god of death." Eve objected.

"What is written in the book is wrong, how can the things of the sun god be in the hands of Anubis, just as the things of God will not be in the hands of Satan."

Goofy also explained this, and Eve also felt that there was something wrong with it, but archaeologists paid too much attention to the records of ancient books, and sometimes they were easily misled.

"What is between the legs of the statue of Anubis of Death?" Eve reacted before leaving.

"The Black Book of the Dead," Goofy said the answer for her.

However, thinking that the statue of the Grim Reaper had been occupied by the Americans, Eve still gave up exploring there, and now it is important to find the "Golden Sutra of the Sun", which records all the secret spells of ancient Egypt, and it has always been her dream to read the "Golden Sutra of the Sun".

The strange thing is that the statue of the sun god, which Goofy couldn't find with all his efforts, was easily found under Eve's leadership.

When following Eve into a secret room, Goofy seems to see a shining sun, but he is unaware of the problems with this room until he enters it.

"Is it the divine power that blocks my perception of this?" Goofy speculated about this reality.

Eve quickly found a chest from the bottom of the statue of the sun god, this box was not cursed, and Eve took out the golden "Golden Sutra of the Sun" from the inside. Gao Fei could clearly see a streamer of energy from the surface of the Golden Sutra of the Sun.

"Fei, give me the key quickly, the Golden Sutra of the Sun actually needs a key to open."

In response to Eve's request, Goofy took the Golden Sutra of the Sun directly from Eve's hands.

"Not right now."

O'Connor immediately pulled out the revolver at Goofy.

"You want to break the contract?" O'Connor, who has a gun, is not afraid of Goofy, although he knows that there are still spells in modern times, but Goofy has never been too powerful, which also gives O'Connor the courage to dare to do something to Goofy.

In the face of O'Connor, it can be said that it was a hostile act, and Goofy's face did not change.

"You know that I am a mage, so I naturally know the art of divination, and it is not appropriate for you to read the "Golden Sutra of the Sun" now." Goofy was completely bluffing, he was afraid that Eve would have a bad impact on his plans by reciting the incantation to summon the mausoleum guards.

"Okay, you're an expert in this area, since you said it's not appropriate now, let's wait until the right time to say it."

Perhaps it was Goofy's fearless appearance that made Eve dare not offend Goofy, and she gave up the opportunity to read now. O'Connor suddenly became a messenger of flowers, and he followed. Only Jonathan was a little nervous, smiled awkwardly at Goofy, and then slipped away.

By the time Goofy and the others came out of the tomb, it was completely dark, the sun was not visible underground, and they had become very insensitive to time.

During the meal, everyone was a little uncomfortable. This is normal, in the desert everyone brings dry food, you must know that archaeology is a very time-consuming thing, naturally you should bring as much food as possible. But the dry food tastes extremely dry, and Goofy doesn't know how to take out the hot roast duck from it, which makes them even more greedy.

Because of the contradictory relationship just now, Eve didn't want to ask for it, which aggravated the discomfort in their hearts.

But it didn't take long for them to turn into horror. Without him, Gao Fei was so good at eating, after a while, Gao Fei had at least 5 roast ducks in his stomach, and he was still eating one in his hand, and now they felt unusual from Gao Fei's body. Can the average person eat that much?

For a while, Eve and the others began to feel uneasy, just now they had offended Goofy miserably, whether he would give himself a mysterious curse and other thoughts, filled their minds.

Goofy also saw their uneasiness, and threw the last duck skeleton into the fire.

"Don't worry, I won't take what happened just now to heart, the revolver can't hurt me." Goofy wiped his greasy mouth and tossed the key to Eve.

"You can take a look at the Black Book of the Dead, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." With that, Goofy went to the tent, where he planned to sleep.

Only Eve was left and they looked at each other, "The Golden Sutra of the Sun" can't be read, but "The Black Sutra of the Dead" can be seen, what kind of logic is this.

PS: Today I just saw that my book actually has a cover, and I was in a hurry a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to suddenly have it, and I am really grateful. Posthumously send a chapter as a token of gratitude. In order to match such a domineering cover, I will revise the previous chapters, so stay tuned.
