Chapter 110: The Black Scripture of the Undead
The firewood slowly burned and crackled, illuminating the surroundings, where Eve and O'Connor were talking about the people who had been bitten to death by scarabs on the American side, while Zhang Xin was quietly reading the Black Book of the Dead.
There are many magic recorded in the Black Book of the Undead, Zhang Xin values the magic of resurrection the most, if a person dies, then he only needs his corpse, as well as his five organs, and a sacrifice then he can be resurrected, if it is a person who has just died, he doesn't even need a sacrifice, he only needs a corpse.
However, this resurrection magic can only be cast on the altar, and Zhang Xin is also very entangled in the above explanation of the principle.
It is said that after death, the soul will return to the underworld, blessed by Anubis, the god of death, and if the right sacrifice is made to satisfy the god of death, then the soul will return from the underworld and be resurrected.
Zhang Xin does not doubt the existence of Anubis, the god of death, but he just wonders, the main condition for the resurrection above is to let the soul return from the underworld, so what is the underworld, and which underworld is it, assuming that the soul of the people in this world enters the underworld controlled by Anubis after death, then what about the people in the real world, do they also enter the underworld? If it is really entering the underworld, then which underworld is it, Chinese or foreign. The difference is very large, and it is difficult to say whether there is a prefecture in the real world.
So there seems to be a little bit of a difference in the resurrection ability of this undead black scripture, at least Zhang Xin thinks that this thing should not be useful in the real world, but who knows the specific situation! Everything will not be known until you have tried it.
Zhang Xin continued to read the Black Book of the Dead, which was obviously only a few dozen pages of content. But it is so obscure, at least Zhang Xin is difficult to understand. It's just a strange language that can create a sandstorm.
And most of the magic inside is desert terrain magic. It can also meet Zhang Xin's expectations, the only thing that is wrong is that this Black Book of the Dead is too high-end, it is equivalent to a university textbook.
In fact, this can also be understood, sacrifice is a profession, and it has been practiced in Egypt for many years, until the death of Immorton did not disappear, and the way to pass on the sacrifice at that time must be from teacher to student. Learn some basic things first, and then learn the advanced magic in the Necromancer's Black Sutra.
And now Zhang Xin has directly obtained the Black Sutra of the Undead, which does record a lot of advanced magic, but there is no record of some basic knowledge, only some advanced magic. In other words, Zhang Xin only has the highest floor and no foundation.
Fortunately, he already had other means to lay the foundation for him, otherwise it was very likely that Zhang Xin would not even be able to use it. Now he could only look forward to the Sun Golden Sutra. However, it is said that the Golden Sutra of the Sun records the mantra of the gods, that is, the praise of the gods by the ancients.
While Zhang Xin was studying the Black Sutra of the Undead, the descendants of the pharaoh's guards were also slowly surrounding here, which was their mission. Even death is not spared. In Legend II, they even withstood the first wave of attacks from Anubis, the god of death.
There is a lot of content recorded in the Black Book of the Undead, but it is useless to Zhang Xin for the time being. So he took a cursory look at it there, but he saw the end. Zhang Xin saw a very interesting magic called the Death Sacrifice.
This magic can sacrifice people to the Grim Reaper. Then the Grim Reaper will return the power back. This is a tricky spell, which is more in line with Zhang Xin's appetite.
While Zhang Xin was studying this spell, a gunshot suddenly sounded at the door, and a large number of black cavalry poured in like a flood, quickly flooding a large wave of places. Moreover, these cavalrymen also carried torches, and while they quickly killed people, they threw torches and burned their tents.
O'Connor immediately woke up, this man who had experienced the war was always full of vigilance, and the second one who woke up was Jonathan, who was also very careful, comparing him to a qualified thief. The last to come to her senses was Eve, who still looked a little dazed after she came to her senses and shouted.
"What's going on, who are they?"
Eve's place where they are stationed is a little in the City of the Dead, behind the American camp, and they haven't been attacked yet, so they can be so leisurely.
"They are a desert people, and they are supposed to be the guardians of Hamnata." O'Connor said as he drew his pistol and charged at the cavalry.
"No need, you can take a good look here!" Zhang Xin suddenly stopped O'Connor's intended support, and then walked towards the cavalry with a slight smile, he was so leisurely, as if he was on vacation in some tourist resort, just not enough to be surrounded by beating fire and blood.
O'Connor obediently stayed where he was, he knew Zhang Xin's strength, some cavalry should not be a threat to him, in fact, it should be those cavalry who should be really worried.
Sure enough, Zhang Xin flew directly above everyone, and in an instant, he snatched everyone's guns with his telekinesis, floating in mid-air, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun downward at them.
The American raised his hand for the first time, and then the guardians did not raise their hands, frowned, and did not look shocked, but respectfully performed a high-level salute, and then said.
"Honorable priest, we are the descendants of the pharaoh's guards, who have guarded the city of the dead for generations, Hamnata, and I don't know why you are attacking us."
Zhang Xin was stunned, he originally thought that these people would either run away or beg for mercy, but who knew that they were so calm, and they didn't look too afraid. But if he can kill people, he is too lazy to kill, so he is also very interested in asking.
"Why do you call me a priest, I don't think I said that!"
The leader of the guardians was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said respectfully. "Only those who are recognized by the gods can have such power, and such people are called priests, and we in Egypt have no priests since the rebellion of the high priest Immorton three thousand years ago."
Zhang Xin nodded, feeling that he was thinking too much, there are gods in this world! The people of these ancient organizations are naturally a little more receptive, and it is not impossible to see someone like themselves.
Zhang Xin, who wanted to understand it, was a little disappointed, in fact, he originally had the idea of preaching in this world, but after encountering the projection of death, he dispelled this idea, because he felt that things were out of his control, which made him restrain his behavior. Now it seems that proselytizing is also not good, and it is very likely to annoy the gods. This will affect him, so this plan is not advisable.
Zhang Xin thought so, but said unceremoniously.
"I don't care if this is your mission or not, I just know that you are hindering me now, so if you want to live, you better get out of here as soon as possible."
Many of the guards showed anger, but they just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, the leader of the guards was very calm, and now they couldn't even if they didn't want to retreat, otherwise it was very likely that there would be no return, so he could only hold back his anger and say.
"Lord Priest, guarding the mausoleum is our mission for 3,000 years"
"I don't care if you have a mission or not, give you ten minutes to get out of here now, or I'll let go and kill people." Zhang Xin directly coerced, he won't kill people when he doesn't have to, but it doesn't mean that he won't kill people, in fact, he is a terrible person, with billions of blood on his hands. How could he be afraid?
"Understood, Lord Priest, there is a demon waiting to be resurrected in the City of the Dead, he is the High Priestess Immorton three thousand years ago, and once he is resurrected, he will destroy the entire world. I hope you can stop him. The leader of the Guardians said this very simply, and then took his people to pick up the guns in the ground and slowly withdrew, looking very frustrated.
The meaning of the leader of the guardians when he said this was nothing more than to let Zhang Xin control himself, but it was not certain whether Zhang Xin would listen to it or not, and he said this only to ask for peace and security. The specific situation still depends on Zhang Xin's wishes.
Seeing these guards leave the Hamna Tower, Zhang Xin's face remained unchanged and flew back to his place of residence, which discouraged the Americans who wanted to come over to thank him, because Zhang Xin didn't seem to be so easy to get along with.
"What's going on? Who are they? As soon as Zhang Xin flew back, Eve asked again and again, her nerves were a little rough, and she was not too afraid of Zhang Xin.
"They are an ancient organization, they are the guardians of the City of the Dead, you don't have to worry, they won't come back, and they won't dare to come back." Zhang Xin casually said a few perfunctory words, and then looked at the Black Scripture of the Undead by himself.
This book is really vast and vast, obviously there is only so much content, but it interprets a completely different world, a world of magic, and Zhang Xin has gradually become addicted to it.
The time of the next day soon came, and Eve and the others began to prepare for a second excavation, this time aiming to place it on the statue of the sun god, because there was hidden the golden sutra of the sun, which recorded the mantra of the god's mansion.
However, it is not known where the statue of the sun god is, and Zhang Xin does not have the leisure to look for it slowly, anyway, no matter who gets the Sun Golden Sutra, they can only hand it over to their own hands in the end, they can't read the text on it, even if they can understand it, it is impossible to fight against Zhang Xin, this is his strength, and the self-confidence derived from it.
Zhang Xin wanted to find Immorton's corpse instead, he wanted to know what kind of existence Immorton was, and in addition, he also wanted to see the altar, because it was said that there was a deep Tan that went straight to the underworld and could recall the souls of the dead.
Therefore, Zhang Xin came to the statue of Anubis, the god of death, alone. (To be continued......)
PS: Ask for a monthly pass, after all, it's the first month.
