Chapter 516 The Fallen God of Death
After a person dies, his soul is often blocked from entering the "Kingdom of Osiris". In this area, you can only protect yourself by reciting the incantation of "Zeus".
————Egyptian Book of the Dead
The hexagram given by my grandfather is the Tianzelu hexagram, which is the tenth hexagram in the Book of Changes.
The upper part is Qian and the lower part is Dui. The hexagram says: Walking on the tail of a tiger will not attract anyone.
It means there is no danger.
Zhang Xiao believed in grandpa's hexagrams, but he couldn't tell whether the old heavenly master was shaking the hexagrams or playing tricks.
All in all, no mistakes.
He nodded to Bill, indicating that he was ready.
Bill swallowed nervously and read the cuneiform text on the door loudly in ancient Egyptian.
"Osiris, the Eternal Lord sings a hymn. Glory to Osiris, Prince of the Eternal, who has passed through the ages into eternity, with South and North as his crown, Lord of gods and men, Carry a staff and whip of generosity and power.
O King of kings, prince of princes, master of masters. The earth has regained its spring because of your enthusiasm;
They were your followers in the past and will be in the future. You led them, and your heart rested contentedly on the top of the hidden mountains. Your body shines and your head is the blue sky.
(Ancient Egypt's "Black Book of the Dead")
Along with Bill's voice, the cuneiform characters he had read lit up one by one, and finally all the characters glowed with a hazy white light.
These lights converged on the Deathly Hallows mark in the middle, and the door roared.
The entire pyramid seemed to be shaking, the wind was whimpering, and there seemed to be countless people wailing and crying in the wind.
A chill that made people shiver uncontrollably flowed out from the crack in the door, and the entire room began to freeze, and both the walls and the floor were slowly covered with a layer of white frost.
When the door burst open, a raging cold wave violently broke out, but a white light with infinite warmth blocked it.
The carp patron saint propped up a huge circular bubble, firmly blocking the cold breath of death outside.
When the cold current gradually disappeared, the entire pyramid was covered in silver.
"Does Zhang really want to go in?" Bill hugged his arms and said tremblingly, "It doesn't look like a good place."
He pointed with his chin at the dark whirlpool inside the gate.
"I'm here now, but I have to go in and take a look before I'm willing to accept it." Zhang Xiao clenched his fists: "By the way, you can go up and wait for me and pass through this gap."
Bill nodded and said solemnly: "You must come back!"
There was a squeezing and stretching sensation similar to disembodiment.
When Zhang Xiao's feet touched the ground again, he had arrived in an unusually vast space.
He looked at the endless black desert in front of him in shock. The sky above his head was lonely. Occasionally, something like a shooting star streaked across with a shining tail of flame.
Other than that, it was pitch black, and his eyes turned to where he was.
It was a huge stone platform, with an arch behind it that had collapsed, leaving only thick pillars standing here, telling the story of the past.
This is the underworld?
Zhang Xiao closed his eyes and felt it for a while, but he was a little confused. Apart from being a little colder and a little bigger, there was nothing strange about it.
It doesn’t feel like a different space to myself.
Could it be that the so-called underworld is still on the earth and is not the real underworld?
After thinking quietly for a while, Zhang Xiao's body slowly floated into the air. Viewed from a high place, the desert was still very vast. Occasionally, you could see some collapsed stone statues lying crookedly in the desert.
The entire desert was deathly silent, with nothing but the endless black desert.
He threw his body forward and transformed into an unusually powerful peregrine falcon in mid-air, flapping its wings and flying away into the distance.
The eagle's vision is far superior to that of ordinary people. According to the human vision standard of 1.5, the eagle's vision is about 5.3. Coupled with its unique wide-angle vision, its exploration ability is much more efficient than flying by itself.
Soon its eyes discovered what seemed to be the ruins of a building in the desert in the distance. It spread its wings and flew towards that direction.
This desert is extremely vast, and a dark river separates the desert. The water flow is not large, and the waves that occasionally roll up bring out pale human bones.
Is this the River Styx?
Could it be that the entire bottom of the river is covered with human bones?
He suddenly changed direction and flew continuously along the River Styx. Occasionally, there would be waves, and numerous bones could be seen floating in it.
This river runs through the desert for dozens of miles. After flying for a while, Zhang Xiao suddenly hit an invisible wall.
Where did the wall come from? The stunned Peregrine Falcon circled a few times, looking at the still endless desert and river ahead and fell into deep thought.
It hovered for a while, then simply flipped in the air, transformed into a human form again, slowly floated forward, reached out and pressed it, then took out the wand and waved it casually.
【Quick Appearance】
The stream of magic spell spread rapidly in front of them, and soon revealed a huge arch wall, which was extremely transparent.
It's just that it's slightly distorted under the influence of the curse.
Could it be that the scenes behind are all fake? Similar to Tom's Castle, with stickers on the back?
Zhang Xiao nodded and said, such a huge space is really beyond the reach of human beings, at least he can't do it, even if he is exhausted, he can't do it.
If you look at it this way, you look back at the distance you just flew.
That’s huge too! !
So is this desert man-made or natural?
What if it’s really man-made?
Zhang Xiao smacked his lips as if he had a toothache. The person who created this desert had terrifying power.
He turned around again and turned into a peregrine falcon to fly towards the building he had discovered before.
As the wings flapped, the undulating sand dunes passed by themselves. In this windless environment, they seemed to have always been like this, unchanged and eternal.
After a while, the buildings gradually enlarged in the field of vision.
His sharp eagle eyes focused, and he became more alert.
It was a huge palace-like temple with huge holes all over the top and walls.
The surrounding desert was in a mess, with obvious traces of fighting. This desert faithfully recorded the battle scenes of that year.
Just looking at the huge stretching pits and radiating traces, Zhang Xiao could imagine how fierce the battle was.
The peregrine falcon folded its wings and dived down. When it was close to the ground, it turned over nimbly, turned back into its original form, and landed gracefully from mid-air.
The touch of my feet was strange. It didn't feel like soft sand, but rather hard.
Crouching down and looking carefully, he discovered that the entire sand had solidified under the strange force, and he tentatively used a big blast towards the ground.
There was a loud noise, and smoke and dust flew everywhere. When the raised dust subsided, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but hiss.
Even if it is a casual blow, its power cannot be underestimated. It can reach almost the full strength of an ordinary Auror.
But the small pits that appeared on the ground were only as big as the mouth of a bowl. If this spell were cast on the road, there would be at least one big pit on the asphalt road.
What kind of power can solidify such a huge area?
Zhang Xiao stood up silently. There are more and more mysteries in this black desert.
He continued walking towards the temple. On the way, a pure black statue caught his attention. The statue broke into several pieces.
Because the color is so close to the black desert, it is impossible to distinguish it from the sky.
The head of the statue rolled to the side, looking like a wolf.
Statue of Set?
No, Seth’s head doesn’t look like this.
Anubis?
Zhang Xiao continued to walk in. The closer he got, the more he realized how huge the temple was. The steps were so wide and high that it would be difficult to climb them without the help of magic.
He simply took out the ribbon and slowly floated it upward.
The door of the temple is a huge gold door carved with exquisite patterns and patterns. Judging from the fracture, this door may even be pure gold!
It's just that the door has been broken into several pieces, and less than a quarter is still standing firmly in its place.
Standing at the gate and looking in, countless corpses were lying on the ground, leaving only numerous bones. Weapons were scattered around them.
At a glance, there are no less than thousands of them, extending from the gate to the innermost part.
He continued to float forward, and the soft morning light slowly lit up behind him, and these lights gradually illuminated the entire temple.
When they reached the innermost part of the temple, Zhang Xiao finally saw the most terrifying scene since entering the desert.
In the vast temple hall, bright red blood was sprayed everywhere, as if the blood had just been sprayed out of the body, and the strong smell of blood could even be smelled.
The Golden Throne looks like a house. On the throne, a corpse sits on its back, with its hands hanging down helplessly.
The corpse was extremely tall, at least over five meters by visual inspection. What was even more surprising was that his head was not that of a human being, but that of a wolf.
On his chest, there was a surprisingly thick hole, and the wound was scorched black, as if it had been burned by some high temperature.
Just looking at the corpse, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but recite in a low voice:
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and death to Anubis."
This sentence seemed to have a special magic power. A strange red light suddenly lit up in the eyes of the wolf-headed man on the throne, and he let out an inexplicable roar and struggled to get up from the throne.
Is it really Anubis?
The legendary god of death? Is he not fictional but real? In this underworld, in the sky full of black sand?
how can that be!
If myths are not fiction, then don’t all gods really exist? Including the ancestors of my own family?
The struggle of the wolf-headed man's corpse became stronger and stronger. His fingers had begun to grow sharp nails, and strange hairs appeared on his skin. It looked like he was about to transform into a corpse.
Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and in just a moment, the talisman ring appeared behind him. Terrifying power overflowed from his body, and spider web-like cracks appeared on the floor under his feet.
He raised one hand and pointed it at the giant wolf-headed man on the throne:
"Since you're dead, don't pretend to be dead!"
The palm of his hand suddenly waved down, and an invisible force fell from the sky and firmly pressed the wolf-headed man's body in place. The shadows of talismans flickered, wrapping the wolf-headed man tightly like rice dumplings.
The wolf-headed man who was still struggling gradually stopped moving, and the red light in his eyes also dissipated.
Only one cry with endless anger and resentment returned in the hall:
"Zeus! Zeus! Zeus. Zeus."
Zhang Xiao's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, and he slowly retracted his hand in surprise, feeling a huge wave in his heart like a tsunami.
Zeus? Isn’t Zeus the god-king in ancient Greek mythology?
But what does this have to do with Anubis and Egypt?
Or is it just a homophone and not Zeus in the true sense?
But if not Zeus, who can kill Anubis?
Zhang Xiao was so distraught that he felt that his entire worldview had been greatly impacted. Did God actually exist?
He stared at the huge corpse, and he had deep doubts again. But judging from his resistance just now, it was indeed very strong, beyond the limit, but it did not make him feel fear or despair.
Even if there is not a single corpse left after death, it seems that he can still see it?
Or are these gods just extremely powerful wizards?
But this wolf-headed man doesn't look like a normal person.
Suddenly a flash of lightning pierced his mind. Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the wolf-headed man in horror.
Could it be an Animagus?
It's just that in order to maintain a strong deterrent, he didn't completely transform, but just changed his head?
It is difficult for Animagus to transform to this extent, but if you are in full state, it seems that you can't do it?
There are even disguised Animagus like Tonks, which makes it easier to do it.
With Zhang Xiao worried, the talisman ring on his back appeared again. At the same time, the clothes on his back slowly bulged, as if something was spreading on his back.
Then the clothes on his upper body suddenly shattered, and a pair of huge wings spread out from his back. If you look closely, you can see that they are very similar to the wings of a peregrine falcon.
Successful. Local deformation that has never been thought of before. Why has no one tried it?
At this moment, Zhang Xiao's expression was extremely complicated, a complex emotion of sudden realization mixed with shock.
Although there was no evidence, he vaguely felt that this might be the truth.
The wings flapped, causing huge waves. Perhaps because of the human body instead of the bird's body, the flight was not very smooth. Zhang Xiao had to cast a floating spell on himself, and then he successfully left the ground.
The body gradually floated up, and finally flew out along the huge hole in the ceiling.
Suspended on the top of the temple, overlooking the entire desert.
In the distance, there is a more magnificent building standing there quietly.
