Chapter 35: The Withered Wood
Chapter 35: The Withered Wood
In the quiet hallway, Mo Xuan and Rocky Inti walked side by side. When they came out of the temple of the gods, the three Rahman behind them looked at each other, but said nothing. The crane elder at the door has been guarding there. When he came out, Mo Xuan saw him at a glance. Mo Xuan still knew the old man who brought him into the Lost Ancestral Tomb, and even said hello to Crane Lao. Afterwards, Nochiinti asked Crane to leave first, and she was to take Mo Xuan around the pyramid of Agaro, as if to show him off her knowledge, which was not necessary as her princess. But Crane Lao thought about it and didn't feel anything wrong, so he bowed slightly and disappeared.
Mo Xuan was a little nervous, and when he knew that Nochiinti was the princess of Sunset Sandbank, he really didn't know what to do. However, Nochiinti 2 didn't feel anything on the side, it seemed very relaxed, jumping up and down when walking, and humming a song in his little mouth, Mo Xuan had to speed up to keep up with her.
"Now, Mo Xuan, do you really not know that I am a princess?" or Nochiinti asked casually, breaking the silence.
Mo Xuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know, you haven't told me, I always thought you were just the eldest lady of a noble familyγγγγγγ β
Nochiinti's eyes widened, "No, how stupid are you, my father was by our side last time in the Lost Ancestral Tomb, and I shouted 'Father' in front of you, and you didn't even notice it?"
Mo Xuan touched his head in embarrassment, "I thought that all girls would shout 'Father Emperor' when facing the Pharaohγγγγγγ β
"Poof-" Nochiinti almost squirted, a little crying and laughing, "you are such a genius, how can you think so?"
"I don't know any of this, you know, I've always lived with my grandfather and the girl, and I've rarely seen outsiders, so it's good to know that there are 'pharaohs' and 'princesses'. Mo Xuan scratched his hair and said embarrassedly.
Nochiinti shook her head, there was really nothing she could do about someone like him.

They strolled through the corridors of the Pyramid of Agaro, which was called the "Corridor of Reincarnation" because through this corridor, it was possible to reach any part of the main tower. On either side of the corridor are rows of enclosed stone doors - there will be no classes because it will be the Election Ceremony today. There are only a few occasional forks that lead to certain special places.
In addition to the rows of crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, there are also oil paintings painted by masters. These paintings are full of legends about sunset sandbanks, such as "The Sun God Car" about the god Ra and "Three Thousand Warriors of the Rock Mountain" about the hero Abel Farrellγγγγγγ Along the way, Mo Xuan and Nochiinti walked, and Nochiinti bounced around to introduce him to the paintings, and Mo Xuan echoed in response. Here, Nochiinti is not at all recognizable as the princess of Sunset Sandbank: Her Royal Highness Nochiinti Ramses, she is like an ordinary little girl.
"Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan, look at that one, it is "Horus and the World" painted by Master Nasova, which tells the story of Horus rebuilding the world order after winning the Divine War!" Nochiinti said to Mo Xuan, pointing to a painting on the ceiling.
"Well, the picture is shocking. Mo Xuan didn't know how to answer, he didn't know how to appreciate paintings, he could only express the most real feelings directly, but he still looked at Nochiinti with a smile and kept responding to her. He also looked up at the paintings, looking back and forth, not missing any of them, but there seemed to be a look of disappointment in his eyes.

As they walked forward, they came to an empty square, the top of which was open, and from the edge of the square, gradually closing in the middle from the four sides of the square to the narrowest point above to form a square opening, and at this time they could see the sun framed in the middle by the square opening.
But it was not the painting-like sun that attracted them, but the very middle of the large square, from where the white stone floor that had been paved from there had been dug up, revealing the dark brown soil below. A dead tree that had decayed was planted in the middle of the square, and all that remained of the tree was its trunk, from which several dead branches were branched. The dead wood seemed to be seventy or eighty meters high, and although it was tall, it looked like a dried corpse. Not a single leaf could be found on the branched dead branches, and the wrinkled bark was like the wrinkles of an old man. And judging from the physical signs, the tree has lost any breath of life.
But there was a lot of water vapor in the air, and the sunlight was shining down, and under the refraction of the water vapor, this rotten tree was like a dream, and it seemed that it was not a dead tree. Around the dead wood, there are a lot of green lights dancing around it, and there seems to be pale blue dust floating in the air, making it look like a scene from a fairy tale.
"This, this is?" Mo Xuan seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him.
Nochiin put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and smiled at the rotten wood, and said, "This is the Tree of Isis, the Tree of Life of the World. β
"The Tree of Life?" Mo Xuan was stunned.
"Ten thousand years ago, the gods conquered the land of sandbars, causing the land of Shazhou to fall apart, not only did life almost disappear, but even space became shattered. In order to maintain the land of Shazhou and restore it, the legendary gods of the Nine Pillars used the power of their divine pillars to send down nine miracles to restore the land of Shazhou. The savior Horus used his Eye of Horus as a medium to forcibly stabilize the space of Shazhou, and this tree of Isis is a miracle descended by Isis, the god of life, with infinite vitality. With the blessing of the Tree of Isis, the life of the land of Shazhou continued. However, in order to replenish the vitality of the land of Shazhou, this tree of Isis seems to have exhausted all its life force and quickly withered, but until now, this 10,000-year-old tree is still the same as when it withered, and there is no sign of decay and disappearance. Nochiinti explained.
"Oh, what are the other seven miracles?" asked Mo Xuan, who seemed interested.
Nochiinti shook his head and said, "I don't remember exactly, anyway, those ancient books are recorded. They are all things that can change the world. And it is said that in fact, the miracles of the incarnation are not limited to these nine pieces of the Nine Pillars God, and there are some that we don't know. Moreover, every miracle has a guardian. See those little green dots of light? These are the spirits who have guarded the Tree of Isis for ten thousand years. Don't look at them small, but each of them is a genius who uses runes, and they have their own unique runes since they were born, and these runes, according to the evaluation of our human beings, are the worst of the blue level!"
