A soft sigh rang out in the silent streets.

A tall figure walked out of the dark shadow of the building a few feet behind Fang Di.

Her gaze was clear, and there was a kind of tranquility in her that was rare in ordinary people, and she was dressed in a white robe with the breeze.

She is the Holy Priest.

When Fang Di left Egypt, only the Holy Priest had shown a friendly attitude towards him, so when Fang Di saw her at this time, although his face was calm, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he said, "Why is the Holy Priest in Memphis?"

The Holy Priest didn't speak immediately, he took a few steps forward with an elegant demeanor, walked slowly side by side with Fang Di, glanced at him with dark eyes, and said, "You're really back." ”

He added, "The last time you left, the high priest changed his mind and sent the priest of God to chase you, and I went to him to inquire about it, and when I had a dispute, I took the initiative to come to Memphis and become the chief priest here." ”

Fang Di frowned, the Holy Priest came to Memphis, which was tantamount to giving up the core position of the Sacrificial Academy, especially when it also involved Fang Di.

The Holy Priest was thoughtful, and naturally he could see what Fang Di was thinking, and said, "It has nothing to do with you, I just don't agree with many of the High Priest's actions, and the accumulated contradictions are not a day." ”

At this time, the dark clouds outside the sky dispersed, the bright moon re-revealed the fairy face, and the faint moonlight shone down, making the earth like a mist, and every qiē became hazy.

Fang Di asked, "Did the High Priest send Shan Gana to chase me just to get the Book of the Dead of the Dead?"

The holy priest smeared a sparkle in his eyes, and asked without answering:

"So, the High Priest once sensed the collapse of the Underworld passage under the pyramid, and poured out the most primordial breath of the Underworld from it, is it really because you received the Death Book of the Undead at that time?"

Fang Di had no intention of concealing it, and said calmly: "Maybe!"

The Holy Priest raised his slender neck, looked at the shining distant stars in the sky, and after a while answered Fang Di's previous question:

"The fundamental purpose of the high priest is to escape samsara. He is too old, and in recent years he has been sensing a decline in his strength, and even beginning to perceive the signs of death in his body, he wants to obtain the Book of the Dead, the supreme law that contains the true meaning of death, so as to follow in the footsteps of the gods and avoid the time when the giant god Anubis takes his life. ”

Fang Di smiled dumbly and said, "It turns out that the high priest, as the supreme ruler of the world's divine power, is also very afraid of death. ”

The holy priest suddenly withdrew his gaze from looking into the sky, looked at Fang Di as if he had made a decision, and said resolutely: "Actually, I came to Memphis for another purpose, you come with me." ”

Fang Di nodded in surprise.

After tea time, the two came to a towering temple.

This ancient hall is located in the center of a continuous temple community, and the atmosphere is far-reaching, and it has obviously survived for a long time.

Fang Di knew at first sight that this was the sacrificial courtyard of Memphis City.

The holy priest walked straight into the brightly lit and veil-covered temple, and Fang Di entered.

In the center of this large hall stands the local god of Memphis, holding the scepter of the life talisman "Anku", the strange and terrifying image of Ptah, and the goddess of war of Sekhmet wearing a solar disc, the face of a lioness and the body of a woman, a total of two majestic statues.

Under the light of the torches lit around the two gods, the ancient appearance of the two gods, a small part of which is hidden in the shadows, becomes more and more solemn and solemn, and has an awe-inspiring mysterious power.

After Fang Di and the others entered the temple, they met several priest apprentices who came up to serve them.

These people were obviously the Holy Priest's henchmen, they just glanced at Fang Di in surprise, did not speak, showing good obedience, the Holy Priest waved his hand, and several apprentices walked out silently.

When the hall was quiet, the Holy Priest walked lightly to the two statues and chanted a mysterious incantation in a low voice, and suddenly, a glimmer of light lit up on the sun disc worn by the head of the goddess of war of Nasekmet, like the dawn of the sun and the light of the sky.

At the same moment, the ground in the hall shook slightly, and a deep downward staircase passage quietly cracked.

The Holy Priest waved his hand and motioned for Fang Di to follow, and walked into the passage first.

In his current practice, if there is danger in the passage, he will never be able to hide his senses, but there is no warning in his heart, and he has a lot of trust in the holy priest, so he calmly walks in.

This passage is unexpectedly wide, Fang Di descended a few zhang, came to an empty underground hall, left and right observation, this hall is actually connected to multiple passages, like the entrance of the underground secret palace.

The Holy Priest chose one of the passages to enter.

Eventually, she opened a thick stone door at the end of the passage, and the two of them entered another hall that was filled with a faint black aura.

The hall is as wide as a hundred zhang, is circular, has an allegorical meaning of the vast universe, has no beginning and no end, takes the cycle as the fundamental meaning, the four walls are full of hieroglyphs, and the patterns of the gods believed by the Egyptians, the colors are gorgeous, and the forms are vivid and expressive.

"Aim!"

Fang Di's shoulders, juggling the three-eyed skull on the top of his head, the dark cat, who was originally playing happily, after entering this hall, the black and bright cat's eyes moved, and suddenly opened his mouth and screamed softly.

The Holy Priest turned his head to look at the cat's presence with a thoughtful look.

On the dark black ground in the hall, the pattern of the starry sky is engraved, and in the middle of the starry ground, there is a huge golden coffin, magnificent, shining, depicting dense incantations, exuding an indescribable and terrifying atmosphere.

The two of them walked in this starry sky-like hall, and soon came to the golden coffin that was imposing, like an ancient mountain.

The coffin is a majestic golden human figure, and in addition to incantations, the coffin is surrounded by the giant god Anubis who guards death, the god Buster cat, and the god Osiris holding a flail and a hook.

Fang Di realized the extraordinariness of this coffin and asked, "What generation of pharaoh's coffin is this, located in this starry sky temple?"

The holy priest said: "It is rumored that the first pharaoh of Egypt is my Egyptian, Menes finally disappeared mysteriously, some people say that he followed the gods, but in fact this is not the case, this is the coffin of the Pharaoh Menes!"

Fang Di's heart jumped slightly!

Not to mention Menes' status in Egypt, it is similar to Ji Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in China, they are all the level of mythological figures, just Fang Di at this time in the spear technique, can enter the peak level of contemporary masters, it is already inseparable from the experience of contemplating Menes blood crystal.

Fang Di was in awe of this great pharaoh, and he didn't expect this to be his coffin.

The Holy Priest said, "My other identity is a descendant of Pharaoh Menes, so his blood crystal is kept by me. ”

Fang Di said, "What is the purpose of bringing me here?"

The holy priest looked sad and replied: "I suspect that the high priest is secretly supporting Maureus and wants to usurp the position of the pharaoh, and Maleus's reward for him is to provide the high priest with the cultivation method of the sun divine power that only the pharaohs of the past generations can fully grasp, and the legend is that it is the god Ra left in the world. ”

He added, "The High Priest is too risky, and if he fails, the entire sacrificial temple may be destroyed, and I hope you can stop him." ”

Fang Di pondered deeply, if the Holy Priest's guess was true, then the High Priest was so eager to refer to the legendary spiritual scriptures related to gods and demons, and his ultimate purpose was still to watch the mysteries of the gods, hoping to avoid the arrival of death.

At this time, the holy priest said again: "Although the high priest is old, after all, your cultivation time is still short, and you may not be able to defeat him. That's why I'm bringing you here to show you the complete Blood Crystal Inheritance of Pharaoh Menes, hoping it will be helpful to your practice. ”

Fang Di's eyes widened, and he repeated, "Complete Blood Crystal Inheritance?"

The Holy Priest nodded, his expression solemn, and reached out to force the crystal blood from his fingers.

'Let's go!'

Drops of blood fell on top of Pharaoh Menes' golden coffin.
