The gods who travel between the two worlds

Chapter 53 The Kingdom of Hades
Farewell to the ghost messenger and his party, Taoist Duancheng stared at the direction in which the corpse demon king was escaping, and remained silent.

If what I learned from the ghost is true, then I should be the one who should die this time. Even a serious ghost of the underworld was unfortunately defeated. It can be seen that the potential of this monster is really terrifying. The various little demons and half-monsters who were killed were no worse than ordinary practitioners.

"It seems that after this big test is over, we need to launch another campaign..." Taoist Duancheng felt more and more that the Wuhua Temple and the official campaign last time were too small to deal with Daan City. A city should be centered on the state and crack down on the whole country.

……

"Abdul, are you sure this is the ruins of the temple of Anubis?" Several Fayoum local residents carrying shovels and various field tools looked at the ravine in front of them with expressions of suspicion. The first half of the underground passage exposed to the surface.

"No, my friend, this is not the ruins of the god Anubis, but the ruins of the god Osiris..." Abdul looked at several people and said with a vow.

"What are you talking about? Isn't the god of death Anubis?"

"Oh, Ismail, my dear friend, what you said is not right..." Abdul looked at the other party and had to struggle to explain: "Anubis is the god of death, but Osiris is also the god of death, he He is the judge of the dead and the lord of the underworld, and also bears the prestige of the god of fertility, but since he was killed by the god of the desert, after his son Horus resurrected him..."

"Pharaohs also like to name themselves after Osiris, in order to hope for resurrection after death..."

Abdul, who seemed to like to popularize popular science and myths, said in a plea of ​​worship: "Osiris supports the court of Hades, Anubis, the god of the dead, weighs the heart, and Thoth, the god of wisdom, announces the result... and If the dead person answers correctly the questions of the trial, the result will be recorded on the papyrus scroll, and the dead person can be resurrected in the underworld... or go to the heaven of Ialu to enjoy the blessings."

Everyone heard the sound and looked at each other. In the end, Abdul interrupted Abdul's eloquence, and said in a cold voice: "You'd better lead us to find the wealth of Osiris right away. These myths and stories are interesting to listen to. , but now we believe in the Lord of Heaven..."

As soon as these words came out, Abdul immediately put away his expression, looking a little embarrassing, but the annoyance in his eyes still betrayed his true intentions.

"Hmph, wait until God Osiris recovers, I see what qualifications you have to be arrogant here!"

Not long ago, Abdul was actually a devout believer of the Lord of Heaven, but after a series of strange sleep talking, his soul seemed to have entered a strange world.

He was a pharaoh there, possessing countless wealth and armies, and countless women with skin like milk waiting for his favor. At that moment, he understood that he seemed to have something to do with Osiris.

Of course, it does not refer to the god Osiris in the true sense, but a pharaoh who has been silent in the long river of history and claims to be Osiris.

And here is his cemetery. In fact, there are many cemeteries like this in Egypt, all commemorating this legendary existence, hoping to be resurrected from the dead, and hoping to deal with the endless disasters in nature.

Of course, all this is his speculation about his previous life, but he thinks it is very possible, at least the symbol of Osiris, the lotus and the vine are very gentle.

As a member of this ancient country, he naturally has a clear understanding of past myths and the importance of symbols of gods in nature.

This is also an important reason why he dared to bring people here. For example, that Anubis is a black jackal. If he saw this symbol, even Abdul himself would be worried.

Fortunately, perhaps because of God Amon, the journey was very safe and nothing wrong was seen.

"Sayed, hurry up... When the time comes, I will give you a little more money." Several men with tired faces sat on the ground and ordered a thin young man in the team to do his best.

Said listened, and although he was exhausted after a long journey, when he thought that there were four or five younger siblings in the family who needed him to support, he immediately gritted his teeth to support the little energy, stood up, and took out the engineering shovel in his hand. , and began digging in front of the hole.

Not far away, other people propped up tents, and set up a barbecue grill under a large rock sheltered from the wind. This is everyone's dinner tonight.

Said took a few glances, swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and looked at the half-open sand in front of him, thinking in his heart that if he put in more effort, he could open a hole and come out.

Involuntarily, the speed of the engineer's shovel increased a lot, and a lot of broken stones were mixed in the gravel, and he dug them out.

As the sun sets, in this desert, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth.

Said rode his engineer shovel and couldn't help thinking of the fairy tale Abdul told on the road. In ancient times, the far west where the sun set was the kingdom of Hades, the world ruled by Osiris, the king of the underworld.

"Maybe the coldness of the night is caused by the wind and sand in the kingdom of the underworld..." Said thought so. After all, more than 90.00% of the land in this country is in the desert. The cruelty of the natural environment makes some people cherish the hard-won even more. the tranquility.

"But, it's really cold..."

He shook his body, thinking unconsciously in his heart, but the next moment, his pupils constricted together, because in the distant sky, the sunset on the horizon seemed to overlap with a certain cold and lonely world.

Countless terrifying auras began to flood, and within his sight, pale skeletons dug out from the ground, and the green will-o'-the-wisps in the eye sockets were slowly burning, and an army of undead was waking up.

"Hoohoo!"

"This is the dark wind of the kingdom of Hades..."

This thought flashed through Said's mind, and suddenly, his whole body became stiff. Before he knew it, his body had become stiff, and the original fatigue was unexpectedly swept away.

According to the legend, the kingdom of the underworld is a place that can only be determined after a trial. If it is a living person, it will be assimilated into a skeleton in an instant. Said raised his stiff arm, and he found that his body was in a step. step decay.

"Am I going to die? No, I'm already dead!"

On the other side of the rock wall, everyone was full of food and drink, and laid down sleeping bags. The leader with a beard opened the beer tab, took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the crowd, and said casually: "It's strange, Where did that coward Saeed go?"

"Sayed? Isn't he still digging the hole?" Someone threw a bone casually, rubbed his eyes, and looked into the distance. Compared with other people, his position was closer to the hole. You can also see Said who is still digging at the entrance of the cave.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Said is really working hard today, you can consider giving him more wages!"
