Chapter 217: Reed Field

It was an endless plain, with occasional hills, overgrown with golden reeds, and the reeds were shaggy like cotton.

The distant sun hangs high in the sky, reflecting this reed field as bright as gold, and the beauty is breathtaking.

The wind in the ears is groaning, the larks on the horizon are curling, and there is no extra noise, looking at them seems to wash away the dust of the soul.

In the reeds, there were statues of gods standing on the ground, and he saw people walking in white robes, who looked similar to the Egyptians in Cairo, but with happy smiles on their faces.

The older parents sat under the reeds with a smile and the children played, and everything was so happy, like a dream.

This should be the Egyptian legend of the "afterlife" Lu Weiyuan, right? ”

At this moment, a familiar voice came from his ear, and he turned his head sharply, and saw Tony and Char appear beside him at some point.

There was a hint of joy on his face, "Mr. Stark. ”

Although he was not afraid of death, he still felt uneasy when he suddenly came to a strange place.

Char had set up a coordinate on Gallant's body before, and as long as his soul could reach here, then he would be able to reach this final destination through magic.

This is also the reason why Gallant must enter the underground palace.

"You're doing a good job." Stark said, "I'm a little surprised that you'd say yes so simply. ”

"I've already died once." Gallant laughed, "If you don't take some risks for the rest of the time, how can you see the scenery that ordinary people can't see." ”

"Very good shape." Char's eyes flickered, "I hope you will still be like this in fifty years......"

Tony looked at it all distractedly, "It's such a beautiful place, completely different from what I think of in Egypt." ”

"Hollywood's biggest stereotype of the ancient Egyptians is that they worshipped death and evil law."

Char said quietly,

"Although their death occupies a lot of space, they do not worship death, on the contrary, they love life.

If you know their civilization, you will find that in their inscriptions call passers-by as "all who love life".

Their ancient Egyptian language did not have the word "animal" because they believed that animals were also beings with souls and that all things were equal.

It can be seen from the fact that many of their gods were animal heads.

For them, death is not some kind of glory and shame, nor is it the end, it is just a transit point in life, and the purpose of accepting death is not to worship death, but to live forever.

In order to hug the lost family again in the Reed Field, to raise a glass and sing with friends again in the Reed Field, and to pet the favorite dog again in the Reed Field.

The reed plain is not hell, it is the "afterlife", it is an extension of home, it is the smile of parents, it is the whisper of husband and wife, it is the small land in front of the door, it is the long river behind the house, and it is also the jujube tree by the river.

Cherish every minute and every second of life, face death calmly, and life still goes on.

The sun also rises as usual"

Just as Char had said to Alicia in the thermal pools when Hart was rebelling against the West French Empire.

The afterlife is a beautiful yearning derived from people's ultimate fear of death.

It is a romance that belongs to human civilization alone, and it is also a proof that human beings once again challenge the unbeatable.

Like the Shenzhou civilization, it is a prosperous, long-standing, and huge agricultural civilization, born in a warm and relatively rich place, and it is difficult to be particularly cruel and gloomy.

What Hollywood has done to the Egyptian civilization has also done with the Shenzhou civilization, and Fu Manchu is a classic example.

They also rendered the Shenzhou civilization as a stereotyped, ancient, and cruel evil civilization.

For them, it doesn't matter if it's Egypt, Aztec, Inca or China.

If the enemy is a group of people who love life, homeland and peace, then the explorers in these movies are complete villains, and no one likes to watch such villains.

If the impression of the Egyptians is really good, then what is written in the Bible is completely untenable.

That's what they're for.

Char had seen a movie called The Mummy before, and the most impressive thing about it was that the Egyptians executed Immorton with a scarab beetle.

What is a scarab?

The scientific name is dung beetle, and in China, people call it dung shell lang.

People have tried their best to make their recipes look so harmless, and this group of Angsa people has to slander people for eating people.

The group of human-faced and bird-like monsters outside is called Ba

The ancient Egyptians divided man into two parts, Ka and Ba: Ka means "double" and represents the flesh of man; Ba is a human-headed bird-like monster that represents an immortal soul.

The Egyptians mummified because they believed that after 3,000 years, the two parts of the deceased would be reunited and reborn, into the reed fields.

Under normal circumstances, the bar cannot be seen by humans, and it will only fly down from the sky when the person is about to die.

After hovering in the sky, Ba will fly down to the dying person, go deep into the soul of the deceased at the moment of death, and then fly into the sky with the soul.

It is also said that Ba was in fact formed by the transformation of the soul of the deceased. Therefore the number of bars hidden in the sky is equal.

The range of activity of the bar is the sky. But he would occasionally fly into the flesh and mummies where he had been.

Of course, even if Ba returns, the mummy will not be resurrected. For Ba, though, returning to the mummy is a great way to rest.

In other words, the bas who are staying in the dungeon are souls that have lost their physical bodies.

Even after another 3,000 years, they will no longer be able to travel to the Reed Fields.

That's why, Char said that these birds are the sins of these Europeans

Tony watched it all quietly, and as a man who grew up in the United States and watched a lot of Hollywood movies, it was the first time he had heard such an interpretation.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Mei country, it's no longer the Mei country it used to be."

He looked around, "Perhaps, the reason why their deaths occupy a large part of their accounts is because of their cultural disconnect."

Most of the main ways people know about them come from the murals in the tombs, and the murals in the tombs are naturally associated with death. ”

Char nodded, "It should be this reason. ”

He looked at the reed and sighed.

"It's a pity. This place doesn't exist for long."
