Egyptian Mythology: Daily Life of the Desert God

Chapter 65 Mummy and Gold

Isis confirmed that Seth was not currently out of control, and then made a suggestion to Shu.

“I think there should be a moratorium on flattening the desert.”

"Waiting for Seth to adapt to the desert of today's range."

Shu understood Isis's mood. He put down the papyrus in his hand and said: "Things decided by divine council need to be refuted with definite evidence."

"So, we still need to continue changing the desert."

"You and Osiris change the desert, and I will stay with Set."

"If Set loses control again, then I will convene a divine council and tell the gods to suspend the transformation of the desert."

Seth spoke to Shu on the side: "Sister, do as the God of Order says."

"As long as the God of Order is here, he won't let anything happen to me."

He had to speak for Shu.

Changes to the desert landscape are best addressed quickly.

Only then will the gods who stare at him focus on helping humans.

At that time, he can also continue to sand down the land of the underworld, weave the threads of fate, and absorb the power of faith.

If it really drags on, it might be endless.

Isis understood that this was for Seth's good, and she no longer had any objections.

She left a trace of divine power full of life to relieve Seth's pain, and then left through the Gate of God.

No need to ask, she is going back to find Osiris and start changing the desert today.

Seth watched the breath of God's Gate dissipate, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Being under guard, Seth had nothing to do but sleep to pass the time.

Shu looked at Seth, shook his head helplessly, and took out a new piece of papyrus to read.

After a while, Shu laughed.

Don't tell me, he really admires these lower gods.

I was able to find out that the Golden Bird God and the Sand Goose God had a past.

You must know that the two of them despise each other and are enemies who would curse each other when they meet.

If it weren't for the God who dug up this matter and revealed it, Shu would never have thought of it.

Hearing Shu's laughter, Seth opened his eyes.

He was curious, what was Shu laughing at while looking at Papyrus?
"God of Order, is there any interesting story written on the paper?"

Hearing Seth's voice, Shu smiled and handed him the papyrus.

Seth took it with strong curiosity.

What catches the eye is the lacy hieroglyphic title.

Jinniao and Shayan actually have a love affair!

Under the title, the daily past of the Golden Bird God and the Sand Goose God together is written from the perspective of witnessing it personally.

It was even specifically revealed that the Golden Bird God would affectionately call the Sand Goose God Yanyan.

The god Shayan is called the golden bird.

vomit!
Seeing this, Seth retched.

Good guy, this nickname is really embarrassing!
This was the first time he heard such a term of endearment.

Seth read the rest of the story with a look of disgust.

According to the kind person on the paper who didn’t want to reveal who he was.

The two gods separated because the Sand Goose God fell in love with the Blue Bird God.

The blue bird god, if Seth remembers correctly, he seems to be married to the golden-feathered bird god.

As for the pair of geese and birds.

Seth remembers that he was always at odds with each other. Whenever they met, they would either fight or scold him.

At first he thought they had a secret feud, but he never imagined that such a thing existed in the past.

"Have you finished reading?" Shu asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Seth returned the papyrus.

"Isn't it interesting?" Shu smiled and continued to ask.

Seth stared at Shu's face, confirming that he saw a hint of approval in his smile.

"It's quite interesting."

This is not to cater to Shu, the bloody past of Yanyan and Birds is indeed interesting.

It allowed him to endure the resentment of their nicknames and read the whole story.

Shu smiled even more and said, "Do you want to see anything else?"

"Look." Seth replied decisively.

There was nothing he could do while being guarded by Shu.

Instead of sleeping, it is better to read gossip.

However, Shu, the god of order and the main god who can convene divine councils, likes to read gossip.

This was really beyond Seth's expectation.

Shu took out a stack of papyrus and gave it to Seth: "Read it slowly."

"Thank you." Seth thanked politely.

Then, the two gods took the papyrus and spied on the god's gossip.

Edges of deserts and plains.

Isis and Osiris stood in mid-air.

Osiris already knew about Seth's loss of control and the method proposed by Shu.

Likewise, he knew Isis' reluctance.

"Perhaps we will flatten part of the desert today." Osiris looked at Isis and said.

"No need." Isis shook her head: "Do as the God of Order says."

She is not an indecisive character.

Once you agree with Shu's method, you will implement it.

"Okay." Osiris said nothing more.

Isis took out the Ankh and mobilized the power of life.

Osiris also took out the Ankh and mobilized the power of plants.

Then, the two controlled the fusion of their respective divine powers.

With the blessing of abundant life force, the green grass and flowers on the plain grow crazily.

Then, the two gods slowly flew towards the desert.

Plants also quickly covered the desert.

At the same time, at the Yellow Sand Temple.

The aura on Seth's body suddenly weakened, making him even weaker.

Pain, resentment, dissatisfaction and other negative emotions filled Seth's heart. Regarding this, Seth suppressed these emotions as much as possible.

If he still only had three levels of authority and something happened to the Desert Authority, he wouldn't be able to be so calm.

However, he has the authority of a human being, the authority of a broken destiny, and the desert of the underworld.

He can calmly ignore the pain of losing authority, because he will make up for the loss and gain more!

Shu Ziran sensed the changes in Seth's aura and saw Seth's indifferent expression.

After confirming that Seth was not out of control, Shu felt slightly relieved, but did not relax his vigilance.

The power of order is always ready to prevent Set from breaking out suddenly.

……

South of the desert.

The team of eight men looked at the tent with gold coin patterns in front of them and became excited.

Because they got the map from the woman who offered a reward of gold nuggets to find her husband.

It was marked on it that her husband's tent was embroidered with gold coin patterns.

They immediately spurred the camels beneath them to speed up.

After a while, they arrived in front of the tent.

The leading man tried to shout into the tent: "Is there anyone there?"

There was no response from inside the tent.

The man looked back at his men, beckoned them to surround the tent, and made a scratching gesture on his neck.

The other seven men immediately drew their knives and surrounded the tent.

"Is there anyone? Your wife has sent me here to look for you?" the leading man shouted again.

Still no response from the tent.

Seeing this, the man pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed hard!
Cutting off the tent door curtain, what caught the man's eyes was a mummy wearing a linen robe.

The leading man put down his knife and took out the papyrus.

After carefully comparing the mummy and the portrait, we finally determined that it was the same person.

"Okay, we found the body." The leading man said with a smile.

The other seven people heard this and gathered around, also very excited.

Because the tent and the mummy were intact, it meant that they were the first to find the mummy.

Now as long as they take the mummy back, the gold nugget the size of a human head will belong to them!
Suddenly, a small man noticed that the mummy seemed to be holding something in his hand.

He walked into the tent curiously and opened the palms of the mummy without hesitation.

A golden bead rolled down from the palm of the mummy's hand.

The dazzling golden color attracts everyone's attention.

The little man picked up the beads, looked at them carefully, and excitedly shouted to the man in the lead: "It's gold!"

The leading man looked at the spacious tent with greed in his eyes and said, "Search it again."

"Yes." The men responded.

Soon the tent was turned upside down.

They found no more gold beads in the tent.

Just some shovels, clothes, scones, and a map.

The subordinates handed the map and golden beads to the leading man.

He put away the golden beads and opened the map.

Just one glance shocked him!
Because the surrounding landforms are drawn on the map and marked with secular characters. There is treasure buried here!

The leading man immediately walked out of the tent and searched around.

His men didn't know why, but they followed anyway.

Not far from the tent, they found a hole covered with wooden boards.

The leading man lifted up the wooden board and was mesmerized by a pile of neatly stacked gold bricks!
"Gold Nugget!!" the little man shouted!

The others were so excited that they didn’t know what to say!
"Dig, dig them all out!" The leading man forced himself to calm down and directed his men to dig for treasure.

The shovels were ready, and the men quickly dug out all the gold in the pit!

The pile of gold is as high as half a man!
The leading man's eyes were red. He had never seen so much gold!

More importantly, the gold still belongs to him!

"Boss, we've made it!" the man wearing a feather hat said excitedly.

The leading man hummed, reluctantly moved his eyes away from the gold, and said: "Pack up the gold and the body, we should go back!"

"Yes!" The men responded loudly.

Then go find a bag to put the gold nuggets in.

The leading man stood there, looking at the gold, feeling his breath was itching.

He didn't pay attention, it was like this when he felt excited!

Soon, his men packed the gold nuggets and put them on the camels in batches.

Then he wrapped the mummy in cloth and tied it to the camel.

After doing this, the eight people left on camels.
