Chapter 187: Sphinx (Please Collect and Recommend)

"This is the record of our race. So said Dr. Terrence Bay.

No one spoke, just quietly digesting the news they had just received. After a long time, Kai spoke.

"No, that's not the case."

Everyone looked at Kai in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Dr. Terrence Bay said seriously: "It's not wrong, that's what it says in our records."

Kai shook his head and said: "It can't be Anubis. I know Anubis better than you. He will not come to the world."

Everyone was dumbfounded now. What does it mean that you know Anubis? Are you familiar?

Dr. Terrence Bay was even more angry. He and his people had always believed in the Egyptian gods, and what Kai just said was undoubtedly a joke on their beliefs? It's like telling a devout Christian that you know God well and that they drank together yesterday. That Christian has a good temper if he doesn't beat you half to death.

Kai shook his head with a bitter smile and said: "I don't know what's wrong with your legend, but the Anubis I know is not an evil god. He is the patron saint of the dead, the protector of souls, and the judge of the underworld. , he will not do anything to trade souls, because the souls of mortals will belong to him, and trading souls is one of the behaviors he hates most. At the same time, he will not come to the human world, absolutely not! "

"why is that?"

Because he knew that Kai was a person from thousands of years ago, Cotman believed Kai's statement more. After all, they were closer in time. Besides, Kai already knew the gods of Olympus, and it didn't seem to matter if he knew the gods of ancient Egypt. inappropriate. Olympus is very close to Egypt. (In the myth of Olympus, there is also a plot of the gods fleeing to Egypt)

"Why...because Anubis is the son of Nephthys, the god of death and fertility, and Osiris, the god of fertility."

Kai breaks a big piece of gossip. "He is an illegitimate child."

Nephthys, the patron saint of houses and the dead, is also the god of fertility, one of the Nine Pillars, and the wife of Set, the god of desert and war. This goddess was very fierce. She first married Seth, and then for some reason, Nephthys got Osiris drunk and seduced him, and then gave birth to Anubis.

This could also explain Nephthys' stance after the rebellion of Set. This goddess has been working against Set. With such a prodigal woman, it’s no wonder that the rebellious Seth wanted to marry Hathor, the god of love, as his queen.

I feel sorry for Seth every day. Even if his father treated him differently, he even cuckolded his hair-extension wife and his own brother. Seth’s rebellion was justified!

"It is also because of this that Set always wanted to kill Anubis. He once cursed that once Anubis appeared in the world, he would die! In order to protect his son, Nephthys had no choice but to ask the sun god Ra Anubis was sent to a place where Set could not find him. The sun god Ra was very angry about the birth of Anubis, but the problem was that Anubis could not find it. After all, he was his own grandson, so he couldn't watch him die, so the sun god Ra sent Anubis to the underworld and became the patron saint there. The underworld is a very special place where there is no one except the dead. No god could enter there, except the sun god Ra and Nephthys. Seth wanted to go to the underworld unless he died." Although in the end Seth did. →

"Because of Seth's curse, he will never be able to leave the underworld. Let alone release the army." Kai said seriously.

Dr. Terrence Bay was a little confused. He had never heard of these legends. He wanted to refute, but he immediately thought of the records about the gods. For example, after Seth killed Osiris, he divided Osiris's body into pieces and specially gave a copy to Anubis.

For example, after the death of Osiris in the myth, Anubis and Nephthys enthusiastically helped to resurrect Osiris. For example, Set rebelled against their mother and son. Another example is that in their myths, Osiris, the king of Hades, Always standing behind me are Nephthys and Anubis...

These things didn’t seem reasonable at all in the past. Nephthys was Set’s wife, and Anubis was Set’s son. However, these two had never stood on the same side as Set...

I used to think that Seth was really pitiful, with a family full of young people. Now that I think about it, it makes more sense. What a kid, everyone else is just a family, and Seth is the extra one!

Dr. Terrence Bay suddenly felt that the rebellion of Seth in the myth...the rebellion was justified!

But Dr. Terrence Bay reacted immediately, why bother with this, even if he now knows the use of this.

"This has nothing to do with our current encounter. We must find the Scorpion King's tomb before Immorton! Otherwise, everything will be over."

Kai originally wanted to say that there was still a big relationship between it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. But it’s not difficult to find out about the Scorpion King’s tomb. Kai was at a loss before because they didn't know what Gregory and Immorton would do next. Now that they know their goals, it's much easier to handle.

"As for the mausoleum, it's actually not difficult to find."

"What?" Others looked at Kai excitedly. He had already given them too many shocks. If he said it was not difficult, then he must be sure.

Kai didn't lie, but directly took out the Book of the Dead from the King's Treasure House.

"Generally speaking, the Book of the Dead can usually be divided into three parts. The first part is mainly about praying for the dead, awakening and controlling the dead. The second part is a description of the underworld, which is equivalent to a travel guide to the underworld. With it, you can summon souls back from the underworld. Imhotep uses the resurrection ceremony according to this. The third part is the most important thing in the whole book, the spell! The spells in it are all-encompassing, and any spell related to death can be found in it."

Kai opened the Book of the Dead without using the key handed over by Evelyn. The key was cast to prevent mortals from abusing the Book of the Dead. Kai did not need it. He was also one of the Egyptian gods.

God of Desert and War!

After Kai opened the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Dead began to turn pages automatically and turned to the page that Kai needed.

He wanted to summon a god who traveled in the desert, the human world, and the underworld... or a mythical beast.

Following Kai's spell, the desert not far from them began to boil, and pieces of ancient stones floated out of the desert, and then, under the adhesion of sand and dust, they formed a stone sculpture - the Sphinx!

After the ten-meter-tall Sphinx emerged from the sand and dust, it immediately moved. As it moved, stones and gravel continued to fall, and then the sand and gravel on the ground were replenished again, and the cycle continued.

"Who... summoned... the Sphinx..."

After the Sphinx moved for a while, it turned its eyes to a group of mortals.

"Answer... my riddle, or hand over... the sacrifice!" This Sphinx seemed to be a little out of repair, and it was stuck when speaking. As for riddles and sacrifices, this is an old trick of the Sphinx. As for why... Kai didn't understand why they had to set up such a program for them when they made these things.

"No! Sphinx, no sacrifice! No riddle!" Kai would not guess riddles. Those riddles were too abstract, and only a ghost could guess them. "I command you in the name of the God of Desert and War, answer my question!"

Kai's voice caught the attention of the Sphinx, who turned his head to look at Kai. He twisted his body as if he was thinking about something, then he lay on the ground, lowered his huge head, and saluted Kai. "Sphinx... salutes you... God of Desert and War... Kai!"

Others:...

So the one who was traveling with them was really a god?

"Tell me, where is the tomb of the Scorpion King?" Kai asked directly without any nonsense. He could feel that the Sphinx could not stay for long, and he had other questions to ask, so he was brief.

"Find the bracelet of the Scorpion King, and naturally you can find the sleeping place of the Scorpion King." The Sphinx always talks nonsense, and there is no clear and clear statement in his setting.

"Where is that bracelet? Be brief and clear!"

"In the temple of the sun god, keep walking in the direction of the rising sun, and when you see the canyon, you will see the temple."

"The last question! Where did the gods go?"
