401 The Judgment of Libra
"What kind of energy fluctuation is this?"
"It's actually a bit similar to Martial Dao Gangqi!" Linglong's eyes flickered, looking up and down at the ancient wall that glowed scarlet.
The portraits of the gods shown above had all vanished after being splattered with blood from the clones, leaving only a scale-like totemic imprint.
The origin of this Libra is not small, and it can often be seen in the myths and legends of the earth.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis, the envoy of the underworld, had such a scale in his hand to measure good and evil, which could be used to measure the soul of the dead with the help of the "heart" ritual.
On one side of the scale is the heart of the deceased, and on the other side is the feather of the goddess Matt, which represents justice, truth, and order.
If the heart is lighter than a feather, it means that the deceased was a good person in front of him, who was able to pass judgment and enter the cycle of reincarnation to be resurrected and obtain eternal life in the afterlife.
If the heart is heavier than a feather, the deceased is guilty, and his soul and heart will be devoured by the demon Amit, who looks like a mixture of a lion, a crocodile, and a hippopotamus, and disappears from the world completely.
In ancient Greek mythology, there was also such a scale.
It is the goddess of order that symbolizes law and justice, one of the twelve Titan gods, Themis, in order to judge right and wrong in human beings, the blindfolded Themis transformed the stars of Libra into a golden scale, in order to establish order and justice in the world.
Just the appearance of such a scale on this ancient wall of sighs seems to show that only by passing the judgment of this scale can pass through this boundary between life and death.
As for Eugene, who triggered this abnormal scene, after seeing this scale appear in front of him, the fanaticism in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
I saw him pick up the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and his mouth was full of words, I don't know if he was chanting ancient Greek or ancient Egyptian, and he was uttering something like "Sacrifice!" "Judgment!" The ancient scales were embodied in the form of a libra inscribed on the wall.
The scarlet light swirled, outlining a physical scale made of crimson energy on the ancient wall of sighs.
Directly behind Libra, a lion-like, crocodile-like, hippopotamus-like beast with a single horn emerged from the pattern of the wall, and with a final roar, it landed lightly in front of Libra and pushed it in front of Eugene's capital.
"People!"
"Sacrifice your flesh and blood!"
"Only by passing the judgment of the goddess will you be eligible to pass through the wall of the underworld and go to the garden of reincarnation!" The unicorn of the alien beast exudes a five-colored spiritual rainbow.
As soon as it spread, several people living in the venue sketched out a special language with its own translation function in their minds.
Even Linglong was slightly stunned when she saw this strange beast appear, compared to Bai Ze, who had been crazy before, this unicorn that looked like a unicorn actually looked extremely solemn.
It's as if born to judge humanity!
"This is Amit, the demon from ancient Egyptian mythology?"
"Or is it the hedgehog in the Divine Sutra?" Linglong clenched the bronze scepter in her hand, and the various features on the beast's body seemed to confirm the mythical creatures of the distant earth.
The so-called 獬豸 (xiezhi), which is also a beast of torture and prison in ancient mythology from China, represents justice and judgment.
It is recorded in the "Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe": "When foreign countries came to enter with divine beasts, the name of the pig, such as a deer, a horn. ”
"There are pigs in Dongwang Mountain, and there are mythical beasts. Yao has it before, and it can touch evil. The shape is like raising, with a corner and four legs. The king's prison lawsuit is peaceful. This is the original text from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
And at the entrance of the court on the earth, you can often see the stone carving of this hedgehog.
People who don't understand think that it is a stone lion guarding the gate, but in fact, its appearance represents the "righteousness and brightness" and "fairness and justice" of justice.
As for Eugene's actions, why did they lead to the judgment of this pig.
Linglong is unknown.
At this moment, she just wants to solve this old boy's life as soon as possible, so as not to have any accidents in the long night!
It's just that what Linglong didn't expect was that when she hesitated for a moment, Eugene in the distance had already come to the left tray of the golden scale.
I saw that his eyes were fanatical, and when he reached out, he took out a sharp knife from the combat uniform he carried, stabbed it directly into the chest of the clone whose neck he had wiped its neck, and took out a bloody heart from it.
Placing his heart on the tray, Eugene looked up at the pig, and whispered the sacrificial words learned from the ancient parchment: "When you are placed in the scale, with the feathers of truth...... When you come to weigh, do not make judgment against me...... Don't let the judge shout in front of me......"
As the ritual of the Book of the Dead echoed in the main hall, the golden scale shook slightly, and an ancient image of the goddess lit up from the wall of sighs behind it.
The goddess stood in the center of the gods, and behind her was a chaotic and disorderly darkness, until she was a little more comfortable, the chaos was calmed down, yin and yang were distinct, the earth was born, and all things were born.
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are in charge of the cycle of life and death!"
"This Libra is actually hers?" Linglong whispered softly, and the images of several intertwined mythological systems had made her unable to distinguish the specific origin of this goddess.
Eugene, on the other hand, stared at the statue of the goddess, and the words in his mouth became louder and louder.
Until the turquoise feather fluttered gently out of the bronze wall and landed on the right side of the scale.
The already unbalanced rod tilted, as if it were weighing the heart of the sacrificial clone.
"Eternal life!"
"Eternal life is ahead!"
Eugene looked at the strange noise in front of him, and the anticipation and fanaticism in his eyes were condensed to the top at this moment.
But what he didn't expect was that with the fall of the blue feather, the expected door to the Garden of the Gods did not open.
Instead, there was a low roar, and the pigg, which was guarding the edge of the scale, actually bared its teeth and poked its head in front of Eugene: "People! ”
"It's not your heart!"
"You deceived the goddess! It should be punished! ”
With this verdict, the pig's open mouth instantly swallowed towards Eugene's body.
"No...... No way! I didn't deceive the goddess! ”
"All rituals are completed according to the Dead Sea Papers!"
"This is my heart! It was my heart when I was younger! ”
"It has the same genes as me! The same DNA helix! It's my heart! It's mine...... It's my ......" Eugene screamed in a panic, as if to justify something.
However, the pig ignored his sophistry, and the gust of wind that came out of his mouth, as if it came from the Netherworld, only swept away, and all the other clones that followed him were all sucked into mummy-like dried corpses, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, shattered into ashes.
After doing this step, the pig looked unsatisfied, and then turned his gaze to Linglong in the distance: "People! It's your turn! ”
