Chapter Ninety-Six: Orion and Scorpion

Enlightened.

After passing through the fog of the spiritual world for thousands of years, after skimming the strange spiritual creatures, Thoth saw the deep night, saw the clear blue waters—glowing constellations circulating overhead, the most conspicuous of which were the zodiac signs, which told the mystery of reincarnation, fish swimming at the soles of their feet, Thoth stepped forward, and circles of ripples spread from the soles of his feet, but a group of passing clownfish ignored this, and in the deeper places, a manta ray skipped like a ghost.

"Your mansion is really ......," Thoth exclaimed, "what a ingenuity."

"It's a bragging point to be able to make you look so amazed." Bethel humorously said, "Maybe I should have asked the family historian to record this day."

In private, they invariably forwent honorifics and were less inhibited, and Thoth curiously walked up and down the "water", observing the various sea creatures, in addition to the dolphins, jellyfish, electric eels, monkfish he had seen in biobooks and documentaries, and some otherworldly creatures that belonged to the mysterious world, such as the Naga with thick hair and the body of a woman, and the mountain-like Obnis.

Since the sea was Leodro's home turf, Thoth hadn't been to the beach for a long time, and hadn't seen sea creatures so close for a long time, and when he looked up, a table was already not far away, with three layers of snack racks and enamel teapots and teacups, and Bethel was watching something while drinking tea.

"What are you looking at?"

Thoth asked casually, taking the scones from the heart frame by the way.

"The travelogue of the junior playing the recorder." Bethel shook his head, "It's like a tabloid."

"Mind letting me see? Thank you...... Well...... Huh?"

"How?"

"Maybe this kid just has more associative skills." Thoth commented tactfully.

Next, he read a few more travelogues, some of which recorded the local customs and customs in a serious manner, some of which described the legends of the local monsters in a mysterious tone, and some of which added a lot of their own speculations...... It can be said that each has its own merits, which reminds him of the time when he sat in the office and had nothing to do to help the Chinese teacher review the weekly notes, but compared with the little cubs, these travelogues have a general advantage - that is, the handwriting is very good, and there is no ghost drawing that makes people want to resign on the spot.

"By the way, did you encounter anything that was very interesting and fresh in your memory when you were playing the recorder?"

"You." Seeing Thort's eyes raised in surprise, Bethel added, "Your myriad ...... Well, I would have liked to use the word 'doppelganger,' but they're very different from the doppelganger of the thief. What should I call it?"

"Incarnation."

"Your countless incarnations, and the folklore they leave behind." Bethel recalls, "When I traveled to the northern shore of the sea, I found that the families who fished for a living would set up a 'food table' in the window, in which they would put minced fish and shellfish, which they said were a kind of blue bird, and they would go to the women's fathers, brothers and husbands who were swaying on the sea, and bring back their tokens to prove their safety. If you are literate and hyphenated, you can also write a letter and ask it to be delivered." ….

"I didn't believe it at the time, so I wrote a letter and put it on the dining table with the mentality of giving it a try, and two days later, it really brought the family's reply." Bethel laughed, "Mother is still asking in the letter if this is my new spiritual messenger."

Thoth laughed too, and he reached out and grabbed the void in the air, and slowly spread his fingers like a magician, and a blue-blue velvet ball chirped and jumped out to peck at the crumbs of the pastry on the plate.

"Honestly, it's a lot cuter than the weird shapes in the spirit world."

"That's true, what Mother really wants to ask is if she can help her get such a cute little thing back." Bert touched the bluebird's feathers with his fingers, "She always expressed her demands in a tactful way."

"Anyway, you don't have just one bird, right? Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I have heard of it being snow-white and dragging its slender tail feathers. I wonder if I'm having the pleasure of seeing it?"

"Absolutely."

Thoth closed his hands together for a moment, then slowly opened them, and a graceful white bird flew out with its wings, circled under the stars, and then flew to Thoth's shoulder.

"I heard that it brings herbs to the sick, is that what it does?"

"It does." Thoth rubbed Shirao's beak with his knuckles, "It's a little healer."

"You seem to be fond of bestowing grace and miracles in the form of animals—and the nine-colored deer that the Gabians have sung so many times, even a three-year-old child knows." "So long did it take me to confirm that the bard in my uncle's diary who saved him was really you."

"Oh, so that daredevil's ...... Ahem, I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, my grandfather used to say that my uncle was reckless." A faint smile crossed Bethel's face, "At that time, our family lost power, in order to avoid the attack of political enemies, my grandfather offered to go to the Northern Continent to open up a sub-state, and my uncle held his breath in his heart, and he was bent on making some earth-shattering achievements, which was inevitably a little reckless."

"Ah, what about your uncle and his old ......man?"

"The affairs of the Southern Continent have made him feel uneasy, and he has been much more cautious since then. When he was in his eighties, he passed away surrounded by his children and grandchildren. I came across his diary when I was helping to sort through the relics: 'The young man did not reveal his last name, except that his name was Siddle, but that he was a bard—but the southern continent, where mosquitoes and flies alone can bite people to death, is not what a poet should have come. ,」

"'He's a little bit special—not that he's amazing, it's just that he doesn't look as angular as our family, maybe because of the angle, I saw a flash of purple light in his eyes, and the next second, his eyes were obsidian black again."

After all, my hometown is the Western Continent. Thoth thought to himself, and the people of the Northern Continent are genetically different, and their appearance is naturally different.

"The reason why I'm not sure is because I'm thinking about a problem."

Thoth listened to him.

"I thought you'd preach by the way, 'Immortality is a precious opportunity for a person to convert, and if you send out animals with a rather sacred connotation—" Bethley paused, "My uncle must have thought he had encountered a miracle." ….

"Someone else has asked that question." Thoth silently added in his heart, not a person to be exact.

"Oh?"

"Although missionary work is one of the duties of the gods, work is work, life is life, and it is very tiring to confuse life with work." Thoth said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Could it be that you are actually performing some secret official duties when you go to the stars to roam? Put the flag of the empire on every planet or something?"

"Oh my God, planting a flag with an asymmetrical shape and pattern on a colorful planet?" Bethel exclaimed solemnly, "How can you have such a terrible idea?"

"Oops! Lord Abraham is so disrespectful, to be able to *** the banner of the great empire is this planet, ah not the blessing of the universe!"

"Ahem......!"

Rao is the head of a clan, and the king of angels has not been able to hold back his expression—is this not another form of hypocrisy if this is frivolous because of exaggeration, and blasphemous because of frivolity? Even if it's a flatterer, it's inevitable! His debacle caused Thoth to laugh and Bethel himself to hold his forehead and smile—and if Abraham's juniors were present, they would have been surprised to find that their ancestors were laughing so much today.

After laughing enough, Thoth said, "So, I didn't help as a god that day, and don't take it too seriously—although it is indeed a good character to repay kindness, your uncle has already invited me to drink, and this matter is over."

"But—" he turned, "you saved my loved ones again, so I owe you once, and in return I sent this."

The Sage looked at the illusory void above his head, and with a finger, a brilliant starlight erupted from his fingertips, reaching into the night, splitting in two

Beam: A beam that evolves into seven entirely new stars, a beam that rushes towards the symbolic water in the zodiac, representing will, sharpness and extreme, corresponds to the constellation of hoarfrost in the lower abdomen of the human body, lighting up the sixteen cardinal stars, making it look like a twisted letter T, or a scorpion with pincers stretched out and dragging a long tail.

The two constellations, one in the far east and the other in the far west, have a kind of "one out of the other, one out of the other", Bethel stared at it carefully, as an astrologer's professionalism made him keenly aware of the discordant and incompatible relationship between the two.

"The name of the constellation of hoarfrost used to be Scorpio." Thoth looked up at the starry sky and told the secret of the past, "And the seven stars that make up two irregular squares are called Orion."

"Once upon a time, a hunter offended the gods by threatening to kill all the animals in the world, and sent a poisonous scorpion to sting him to death. In the end, they all became stars in the sky, but the hatred never went away, so Orion and Scorpio would never appear together in the stars."

At the end of the story, Tou deliberately added, "Or Orion is hiding from the threat posed by scorpions."

In fact, the constellations Orion and Scorpio in Greek mythology correspond to Betelgeuse and Shangjuku among the 28 constellations in China, and the literati often use them to describe brothers who are not in harmony or friends who are separated from each other and cannot see each other again. ….

In fact, astronomy has been an integral part of the occult since ancient times, and there is no lack of distorted reality in the myths of the stars.

After Thoth's farewell, a descendant of Abraham followed the call to enter the temple.

"Ancestor, what do you command?"

Bethel handed him a piece of paper.

"Choose two places, one to build sixteen altars according to the pattern of the sixteen main stars in the constellation of hoarfrost, with metal symbolizing the moon in them, and one to build seven altars according to the constellation pattern on this piece of paper, with metal to symbolize the path of apprenticeship."

The descendant's brow furrowed, "Ancestor, what is this?"

"The Hidden Sage has revealed to me a way to avoid the one on the moon." Bethel explained briefly, "This method is akin to 'spectators, arranged with an invisible force that allows the Extraordinary of the Apprenticeship to unwittingly circumvent the traps laid by the one on the moon who has laid in the starry sky—at least in theory.'"

"Could it be a fraud?" Bethel said indifferently, "Although we are on the same level, I have a deeper connection with the stars, He can't fool me, and the divination results show that He has no malice."

"But didn't you say that He had some kind of connection with Amun for us to beware?" The descendants were still a little worried, "in case he unites with that cunning liar......

In my uncle's diary, there is also this sentence: "By the way, there is also a white crow with a black circle in his right eye standing on his shoulder, which can speak, and must be his extraordinary pet."

Bethel did not immediately answer the descendant's doubts, but recalled the scene.

"Even if I save your believers, this thank-you gift is too valuable."

"It's okay, it's good for me after all." Thoth chuckled, "Your apprentices are the closest people to contact the stars, and if you accidentally get caught up in the pregnancy of the guy who stares at anyone, the earth will be in danger. Is it hard to understand that I want to make my home safer?"

Earth.

Bethel chewed on the title and let out a sigh.

"What an elusive fellow."
