Chapter 12: Under the Pyramid
It was the dignified old man on the stage who spoke.
When he spoke for the first time, his voice was very deep and full of unwavering meaning, showing his character characteristics of being decisive and decisive.
The eyes of the people moved to the old man, who was still sitting still, but his eyes were shining, his expression was impressing, and he was calm and calm under the gaze of all the onlookers, and he was indeed an extraordinary person.
"What does Munasa Shousuke mean by his sudden words?" the two priests asked at the same time.
Mu Nasa's face was not wavering, and he snorted lightly, and said: "Your sacrificial courtyard found Lingcai and recruited it on the spot, but I know that this young man has no intention of joining the army, so the old man also joined in the fun, ready to ask to see if he has any intention of joining my door." ”
Munasa didn't squint when he spoke, and looked at Fang Di with a burning light, as if the rest of the people present were not in his eyes, but only looked at Fang Di in the other.
This not only shows Munasa's extremely strong style, but also makes Fang Di feel valued unconsciously.
Just by such simple means, you can see that Munasa is scheming, and he is worthy of being a heroic minister above 10,000 people.
Mu Nasa's eyes became more and more vigorous, and he looked at Fang Di with an overwhelming bearing, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to enter the sacrificial courtyard, or do you want to serve under my command?" The old man immediately wanted an answer. ”
Fang Di frowned secretly, quite disgusted by Munasa's aggressive arbitrariness.
Compared with fighting for Egypt, a country with no sense of belonging, and establishing meritorious deeds, the relatively mysterious sacrificial temple is obviously more attractive to Fang Di.
Therefore, when the old man's words fell, Fang Di said angrily: "The villain wants to go with the two priests to have a look first, find out what is going on with the heat emitted from the body, and then consider serving Lord Shoufu." ”
Fang Di's words were quite tactful, and he did not directly offend Mu Nasa, but it still made a guard behind Mu Nasa look slightly cold, and reprimanded: "I don't know how to lift!"
On the contrary, the bright girl's eyebrows were vivid, and her black eyes flowed, and she looked at Fang Di in detail for the first time.
It was the first time she had seen someone reject her father, Munasa, the chief minister of Egypt, in person, so she looked at him differently and became a little interested.
Mu Nasa himself was deep in the city, and he did not show his joy or anger in his heart, and was politely rejected by Fang Di, but his eyes flashed, and said: "It's okay! If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time, and what the old man says will count at any time." ”
The two priests were obviously very satisfied with Fang Di's choice, and one of them said:
"This is very good, Fang Di, from this moment on, you will get rid of the slave status and become a member of my sacrificial courtyard, and the specific identity will be determined by the high priest himself when he returns to the sacrificial courtyard. Come here!"
The two priests dismissed Fang Di from his slave status as soon as he spoke, and did not ask the governor in charge of the slaves, and this alone showed that the power of the sacrificial courtyard was amazing.
The surrounding uproar rose again, and both slaves and soldiers were full of envy and cast envious glances at Fang Di.
This had never happened before, a slave who in the blink of an eye became the most revered man in all of Egypt who served the gods in the sacrificial house.
In the crowd, only Tatu turned pale and slowly retreated, hiding his figure in the surrounding crowd.
Another person whose complexion changed greatly was Xi'an, who would have thought that Fang Di, who was also a slave a moment ago, would ascend to the sky in a blink of an eye and become a person in the sacrificial courtyard where a slave's life and death can be decided with a single sentence.
This shift is too dramatic.
Xi An's heart was filled with great fear, and he didn't even have the courage to face the direction where Fang Di was.
The sun that had been shining for a day slowly fell in the west, the blazing glow became warm, and a trace of coolness began to float between the heavens and the earth, which made people feel refreshed.
When Fang Di came to the stage, among the two priests, the ordinary person rarely spoke, and while looking up and down, he stepped in front of Fang Di, stretched out his hand, stretched out his finger on Fang Di's forehead, and closed his eyes silently.
At the moment when the priest made a move, Fang Di was startled, but he reacted immediately and did not make a slight move.
The priest's fingers touching his forehead were as cold as human hands, but as if they were a piece of ice. There seemed to be a cold river at the end of his fingers, which flowed into Fang Di's body, and in an instant, it traveled all over his body, stopping briefly in the lower abdominal dantian and the main veins of his hands and feet, and finally flowing back into the priest's fingers from Fang Di's forehead.
The cold snap from the priest came and went, and when Fang Di was fighting with Akkadian earlier, one of the dislocated arms was unexpectedly healed without medicine and was automatically connected.
When the priest reopened his eyes, there was a hint of weariness in his eyes. He looked at the other tall and thin priest and said, "He is not lying, there are no signs of cultivation in the sea of qi where yin and yang converge in his body and in the main veins of his limbs. ”
Glancing at Fang Di again, he said, "We're going to inspect the inside of the pyramid, and you come along." ”
With that, he turned and walked side by side with another priest, Munasa, and under the awe-inspiring gaze of many slaves, he walked inside the pyramid.
Fang Di was side by side with the middle-aged guard who was following Munasa, and diagonally in front of Munasa was the bright and beautiful girl in white.
When Fang Di's gaze swept towards the girl, he happened to see her also looking back, a narrow smile flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression was moving.
Fang Di's demeanor naturally looked away, and he didn't look around, he was not stable at the moment, and it was not a wise move to venture into contact with this pearl-like and radiant girl.
Re-entering the pyramid this time, unlike Fang Di's choice to go up into the stone chamber to work last night, their group walked into the deep downward passage.
The two walls of the descending passage are engraved with countless totemic symbols, and its complicated process is more than the main passage at the entrance of the pyramid, and it seems that this descending passage is the most important thing of the entire pyramid.
Everyone went down for more than ten zhang in a row, but they still did not reach the end of the passage, which shows its deep distance.
After a few more zhang, under the light of the torches fixed on the two walls, Fang Di found that at the end of the descending passage in front of him, a wide and simple stone gate appeared.
The door is carved with a series of complicated patterns, outlining a pair of strange patterns.
The most mysterious thing is that these patterns are not static, and some of the patterns are like flowing water, intertwining and changing, which is very fantastic and mysterious.
When this huge gate close to two zhang high came into view, Fang Di also vaguely gave birth to a sense that this was a stone door with strange powers, and some ancient things seemed to be sealed behind the door.
When they came to the door, there was a hint of caution and fear on the faces of the people around them, including Munasa and the two priests.
According to later research, it is generally believed that the main function of the pyramids was to preserve the mummy of the pharaoh's body after his death, so that when the millennia of reincarnation was completed, the pharaoh's fugue soul could return again and gain eternal life.
However, there are other arguments that this may not be the case, and that the pyramids were more than just mummies used to hold pharaohs.
Because in the history of Egypt, there was a strange situation in which a pharaoh built three pyramids in a row during his reign, and it is completely inexplicable why one person needs as many as three pyramids if they are used as a burial ground.
There is also the Great Pyramid, the most famous of Egypt, which has also been proven to have never housed the mummy of the pharaoh's body.
All of this proves that the pyramids were not just a burial place for pharaohs!
In this way, during the reign of the pharaohs, they spent countless hardships and countless financial and material resources, and what was the purpose of building the pyramids, which became a new mystery?
When Fang Di lowered his head and pondered, the two priests in front of him had already walked to the stone gate with solemn expressions, whispered in unison, and held out the magic staff in their hands together.
A wonderful scene that I had never seen before appeared in the next moment.
