The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]
Chapter 44
Going around and returning to such a dilapidated place like the temple, Snake Zhang, who has no turning back after signing a contract with the high priest, can't help but have the urge to regret and cry when he recalls the past.
I almost forgot to say that Tahir is the first and only human being who signed a contract with it.
That contract is actually a contract to recognize the master. Since the day the snake staff was born, its eyes were high above the top. It only thought of teasing greedy humans for fun, and never thought of finding a master for itself.
However, the contract is within the scope of the deal that Tahir wants to make with it, if he can't fully control the power of the snake stick, he will never trust it easily.
It just so happened that Snake Stick was bluffed, and the desire to watch the fun took the majority, and it thought that this human being would be lured to die tragically by itself sooner or later.
After the master dies, the contract will disappear naturally. There is no harm, but there is still fun to watch. Who wouldn't like such a good thing?
So it recognized it.
After a few days of recognition, I realized that I was finished. Compared with that human being, I was not "evil" at all. It turned out that it was called "innocent".
Following this human being named Tahir, the tongue that Snake Staff is most proud of is useless, the excitement you want to watch is invisible, and you can't speak freely. After saying a few words, you are thrown to the ground by the "master" The possibility of stepping on - up to [-]%.
Not only was it stepped on, but it was also kicked and beaten by a guy who was supposed to be a mascot.
When it was beaten for the first time, Snake Staff was terrified, because it thought that it was about to go blind like its "master", and it actually saw God in the world.
It was so frightened that it obediently was kicked by God and flew far away, almost fell into the lake with a plop.
When he was beaten for the second time, Snake Zhang was already awake, and he would not be bluffed by the identity of a "god" like he was easily bluffed by a mere human.
Because it can see that this "god" who somehow stayed in the world may have been sealed or overused. There is no divine power left at all, and he is so weak that he can beat him. What could it be!
then.
Snake Stick (boldly yelling): "What are you doing? What do you want to do? You are a long-legged white egg! There are two groups of eyes growing on the eggshell. You are a funny dead snake! Believe it or not, my lord swallowed you—poof!"
Gudong Gudong Gudong——
The snake stick flew backwards at the speed of light for a hundred meters, and this time it finally fell into the holy lake as it wished.
There is a little bit of divine power accumulated over the years in the lake water. For the snake staff, which is full of dark power, it will undoubtedly fall into the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, and it will be instantly scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Its "owner" would never come to catch it, so when the snake rod struggled and rolled ashore tenaciously on its own, it had turned into a half-dead snake that was blacker than before, hot and smoking.
Mejed (brows raised coldly): "!"
Although it can't speak, but looking at its lively expression, it should be snorting coldly.
Don't look at Mr. Mejed being forced to shrink now, he is no more sluggish than before.But snakes have no feet, but gods have feet. This is the biggest advantage.
It doesn't like the snake stick very much, as soon as the snake appears, it will flash over and stomp on it, and kick it away when it has stomped enough.
Snake Staff thinks that God Mejed can be oppressed by losing most of his divine power, which is really an extremely wrong idea.
Facts have proved that although this god does not have the power to directly burn it to ashes, it can only fight with it like a child fighting - most of the time, it is not the opponent of Lord Mejed.
the reason is simple.
Its "master" turned a blind eye to it when it was beaten, but when Lord Mejed was about to be annoyed by it opening its mouth and biting its feet, its eyes seemed to see everything clearly at once, and even if it would come to help the evil, I don't care about the feeling of the snake stick with the contract at all.
Snake Staff (because he was too angry to speak human words): "Hiss——hiss! Hiss!"
The translation is: Abominable - abominable!Damn humans, hateful white eggs!
In such a harsh environment, no matter how the Snake Staff instigated human beings and stirred up blood and blood in the world, once it fell into the demon—no, under the legs of the gods, it was doomed to have no chance to stand up again.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Master Mejed chased and beat the snake rod every day, and it was almost to the sky.
Tahir helped out at first, but later saw that it would not lose money at all, so he let the two mascots... two extraordinary existences go to one side and make a fuss.
Signing a contract with the Snake Staff is indeed a move that can only do harm without seeing any benefit.
If there is another way, Tahir is of course unwilling to make such a choice.But unfortunately, the possibility of taking another path does not exist.
Under the circumstances at the time, the only way to save Ramses was to do so.
That's right, the disadvantages of such a choice have only just begun to be exposed. When it comes to the future, I don't know what kind of bleak situation it will usher in...
There is a passage about Snake Zhang's "teaching and seduction" to him, and it is indeed the most ruthless.
'Man, innocent man.You only know that you won't regret it now, but you don't know whether you will be moved and regret this self in one year, ten years, or decades when you look back on today. '
'Today you are only blind, tomorrow you will be completely blind, and the day after tomorrow all other precious things will be gone from you.Not only are there things that existed in you before, but there are more things that you could have had but had to give up...'
——All in all, what you will lose is "everything", including your own life.
There are still a few words in the snake stick, and the degree of pain it brings is not weaker than that of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
Although it only said half of it, it was shrunk, and Master Mejed, whose figure was not much different from it, came galloping, kicked it into the air, and the god and the snake immediately thumped and fought each other on the ground.
But its meaning is right there, and human beings can understand it without finishing it.
What Snake Staff really wants to say is: Tahir has lost the chance to get a second life.
The reason why the Egyptians attach importance to burial rituals is to wrap their bodies with special means after death, hoping to achieve the goal of incorruption, so that the soul can return after the next life.
After death, the soul will float to the underworld.When you arrive in the underworld, you must pass the trial of the balance and Osiris before you can get a new life.
However, only pure souls will be able to pass the judgment.
In order to deceive God's judgment, people who have done evil things with a guilty conscience will find priests to write spells for themselves, so that the treacherous things they did during their lifetime will not be discovered.
But obviously, this is the standard of ordinary people whose crimes still only stay in the world.
For a human being who has done more than the upper limit of human crimes and has to accept "divine punishment", the ending he will accept after death is completely different.
It's not because you can't pass the judgment of the balance, and your heart is swallowed.
Of course not, compared to what he had to accept, it was just his heart being swallowed, it was too easy.
Tahir, as the high priest of the Sun Temple, who was favored by the gods, betrayed the god he believed in.
If his crimes are known to the world, they will surely be recorded in the annals of history as a shock to the world, and as a shameless person who defiled God's favor, he will be cast aside by the world a hundred or a thousand years later.
Therefore, after bearing the identity of a "god-bearer", he would not even have the qualifications to enter the underworld to be judged.
'That's why I'm so sorry, dear Tahir.Obviously your soul is purer than anyone else, you could have entered the holy place where the gods are, where you can enjoy the happiness that the gods can enjoy, but now, tsk, it was all ruined by an ignorant human being. '
'You've lost so much, why don't you choose to enjoy it while you're still alive—poof! '
The Snake Staff was kicked away by Master Mejed when he just said this, before he entered the persuasion.
The two little guys who were officially reduced to mascots wandered around the lakeside, causing a lot of grass and leaves.
However, the person concerned, who has been chanted by the noisy voice until now, walked safely to the lake.
Now is the daily bathing time for the high priest.
He doesn't like to have other people when he takes a bath, and he always comes earlier than other priests.Others also know his habits for so many years, and never come to disturb him in advance.
Therefore, at this moment, apart from the thumping that only the high priest could hear, the surrounding area seemed extraordinarily quiet.
He took off his shoes and stepped barefoot up the steps leading to the lake.
The ankles, which are usually covered by the corners of the clothes and shadows, are finally able to reveal a half-perfect outline in the sun.
The end of the white robe swept across the top of the grass, causing an excited sway, mixed with some rustling sounds.
Immediately afterwards, the white robe fell to the ground softly.
When the eye-catching cloth that covered the perfect body that seemed to be made by gods was finally removed, the wind blowing at this moment seemed to be a little softer than before, and he dared not approach it easily.
Perhaps it was attracted by this other beauty, and the world was completely silent for a second.
When the gods and snakes who suddenly stopped the truce turned their heads and looked this way, the blond young man had already walked into the lake.
The lake was halfway up to his waist, and was still slowly moving upwards.
The young man's blond hair was not submerged, it was peacefully held up by the light green water, and spread out like golden threads, more dazzling than the sparkling waves on the surface of the lake.
The timing was bad.
Looking from the shore, the scene where even gods and non-human beings can't help but be intoxicated can only be seen at the end. The back of the high priest is extremely tightly covered by the lake water and his long hair, and the key process is all missed.
She Zhang and Master Mejed (inexplicably regretful): "Tsk..."
After a while, he suddenly reacted again.
Snake Staff and Lord Mejed (the flames of war repeat): "Hmph!"
The two fought each other again.
The movement of the blades of grass is seen from a distance, as if hares were fighting.
Tahir still didn't care too much about the battle situation by the lake.
The work of bathing before the worship ceremony is extremely critical for priests, because it is as important as the cumbersome etiquette in the ceremony to ensure that their bodies are pure and clean.
At present, only Tahir, Snake Staff and Lord Mejed know about the matter of abandoning the faith.
Perhaps the god Ra, who knows everything about the ground, should be added, but until now, he has not received the "oracle" to deprive himself of his status as high priest, so the daily rituals will continue as usual.
The water of the holy lake under the sun is not as cold as it looks, and even has a little temperature.
Soaking in such lake water will make people feel the warmth and comfort.Slowly, the feeling of being cleansed physically and mentally came from this.
This temperature is actually not just obtained from the long-term sunlight, but the extremely weak divine power of the sun god that has been integrated into the holy lake as mentioned before.
For ordinary priests, such meager divine power is considered a reward from the gods. Bathing in it every day may not prolong life, but it also has the effect of strengthening the body.
But for humans who are no longer included in this list...
- cold.
When the warmth of the sun touched the body of the blond young man who entered the lake, it instantly showed a ferocious face, which turned into biting cold.
The surface of the lake looks soft and surrounds the body, it seems that the cruelest coldness is hidden under this peace.
At that moment, the blond young man's eyelids trembled slightly, his mouth opened a little, and then closed again in the next second.
He forcibly persisted in this cold that can freeze people and prevent the blood from flowing inside.
Stay in the lake water and wipe your body with your hands.
At this moment, the gentle water lines in the past have become a ruthless obstacle, making Tahir's hand sink into the lake water, as if being blocked by the ice that instantly condensed under the water surface.
After a while, he struggled to come back out of the water, and on the warm and jade-like white arms, there were already patches of dead purple.
The hands just soaked for a while, and they became like this.
In the same way, it is hard to imagine what other places that have been submerged in the water look like at this time.
Just looking at Tahir's expression, it is impossible to find out the clue, because he is so cold from the beginning to the end.
The content of "God's Punishment" has been slowly unfolding for him.
It's ok.
The High Priest, who calmly endured the punishment that was going to be a little bit heavier, was in a calm mood, and he could even think lightly that he had completed the most important "task", and now there was one last thing left...not too far away.
He won't regret it.
The black snake's temptation to him is destined to be ineffective, because it can never imagine that Tahir's journey to this height has never been done by himself.
If it wasn't for realizing the hope that that person entrusted to him, he wouldn't even want what he got now.
What to lose?
How much will you lose?
It doesn't matter even if they are all lost, after all, they have not been his pursuit from the beginning to the end.
She Zhang's speculation about his "desire" is really ridiculous.
Tahir almost actually laughed out loud when he heard that.
Although it must have been a chuckle of disdain—at the moment when all the camouflage was about to be torn off, it was this man who was completely cold in his bones, and finally revealed a little bit of his arrogance without concealing it.
"My real desire is him? In terms of ignorance, it seems that you are better."
This sentence, which does not hide its cold edge at all, was uttered under extremely special circumstances.
Well.
Not a big deal either.
It's nothing more than Snake Stick still not giving up, quietly using evil power to manipulate the dream of the "master", trying to enter the dream to give hints to influence him.
There are white eggs in the daytime, and it is easier and more convenient to start at night in dreams. This calculation is very good.
It can be seen from this that Snake Zhang really worked very hard to prove that as long as he is a human being, he cannot escape the word "desire".
But no matter how hard it tries, it can't change the result of failure.
—Late at night, in the dream of the high priest.
All the scenes are the same as what you see in the daytime, even the most subtle details are not perfunctorily blurred. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice the difference between dream and reality at all.
The time was also late at night, but the location was inside the stone house with oil lamps lit.
The light was powered by some kind of power, and it kept jumping in the lampstand, causing the figure swept by its light to suddenly fall on the wall, and it couldn't help being stretched a bit.
The owner of one of the long and narrow shadows is naturally the same person as the owner of the dream.
And the other person in the room is——
A phantom that took the shape of a certain prince.
Even if it is a phantom, it is still the face of the person whom the high priest dreams of. No matter how cruel the high priest is, it is impossible not to be seduced by the person he admires.Black Snake probably thought so.
That's why it filled the eyes of the phantom brown-haired young man with blazing heat, and Kong Wu's powerful young body was also blazing hot.
"He" grabbed the hand of the cold young man who was bathed in moonlight, let him press it on his chest, and told him that this heart beats only for him.
"His" handsome face approached the blond-haired young man, the tips of their noses were almost touching, while "he" was still tilting his head slightly, and he was about to kiss the young man's thin lips...
—and "he" fell down.
It's not the kind of falling down that hides the deep meaning, but in the literal sense, being pushed away mercilessly.
The next moment, the high priest stepped on "his" chest with his right foot, right in front of the heart that was said to be beating only for him.
"Are you only using this kind of dirty trick? It has no effect other than making me feel sick."
The high priest bent down haughtily, as if stepping on the chest of the brown-haired young man in his dream, but it was only half bent.
He stretched out his arms leisurely, and the moist fingers corroded by the water of the holy lake during this period can only look like they used to in his dreams.
At this moment, he used his index finger to pick up the brown-haired young man's jaw, and then firmly clasped it tightly with his thumb.
The cascading blond hair poured down from his ears, allowing shadows to fill his expressionless face.
The brown-haired young man's expression of disbelief hadn't been formed yet, but was abruptly interrupted by the pair of ice-blue eyes that looked at each other as close as they were far away.
- It shouldn't be like this.
——Looking at the eyes of the person you really admire... Yes, even if you have already found out that it is "fake"!It shouldn't be so cold.
It was only at that moment that She Zhang realized that his speculation about Tahir had gone wrong again.
This human being can't be deduced by common sense at all... He doesn't look like a normal human being at all!
To be able to risk one's life for a person with whom one is neither close nor close, without asking for anything in return, is not "love", what else could it be?
It really couldn't figure it out, and Tahir was not interested in explaining to it.
In the dream, only the Serpent Staff, who left a deep psychological shadow since that day, knew how terrifying the High Priest was who didn't need to hide it at all.
He only warned it, and if he did anything related to His Majesty Ramses, he would tear it apart completely and throw it on the altar to be exposed to the sun god's divine power.
"I—I don't believe you dare to die with me!"
The details of the contract are as follows.
When the master dies, the contract is automatically terminated, and the snake stick remains unscathed.
If the snake rod is destroyed, the contract will not be canceled, and the soul of the owner will also dissipate with it.
So the snake stick didn't believe that Tahir could really be so ruthless... No, it immediately realized that this threat was not a threat at all to Tahir.
Because, even if he doesn't die with it, at the moment when this human's fragile body loses its function due to aging or other reasons, he himself will—
"Then you can try again."
Tahir said calmly.
"..."
She Zhang shut up, and since then he has really stopped doing trouble, and accepted it with ashamed heart, "Even if this master is willing to die for others, it is not because of love, but because he is a super big man who respects and worships others as gods." idiot" fact.
Of course, if you shut up, you should shut up, and the snake staff who unilaterally hated this super idiot is still vicious in his heart.
Anyway, the contract will be terminated sooner or later, and it will be peacefully waiting for him to die, just to slowly appreciate the tragedy of this idiot human being suffering from deepening pain before dying.
No kidding, it is really enjoying it with its heart - the daily fights with white eggs can't break its interest.
So, She Zhang watched the idiot humans insist on bathing in the holy lake three times a day, each time they were chilled all over, their lips were purple, they entered the temple alone to worship the gods and then came out, their complexions were pale and transparent like thin paper.
She Zhang also watched the eyesight of idiot humans weaken at a very obvious rate, and within a few more years, they were no different from being blind.
Snake Zhang still looks at the idiotic human beings who will occasionally take out a strange board with nothing on it, draw a few strokes on it, and then fall into silence after drawing, only on rarer occasions, a few words of "no" will leak from their lips. Very clear pronunciation.
It would never admit that it quietly pricked up its ears—well, it has no ears—and tried hard to listen, only to vaguely recognize that it was a ballad written by idiot human beings to the most beloved people.
The snakes are all taken.
There are such brilliant idiots in the world.
He respected that idiot boy who hadn't ascended the throne so much, not to mention the god Seth who had no sense of existence at all, even La was overwhelmed.
But the idiot kid didn't know anything, the only thing he did with conscience was to refuse to obey his father's order to get married.
If the snake stick has already determined that the idiot is interested in the idiot, but the idiot is only full of respect for the idiot-it should think that these two humans have made an appointment in advance, and when the idiot kid succeeds, they will get together ...
Oh, here we go.
That idiot prince is really about to succeed.
This is the sixth year that Prince Ramses lifted the curse, and it is also the sixth year that High Priest Tahir has changed from being favored by God to being punished by God.
Pharaoh Seti was old and frail, and he passed away accompanied by his princess and the most proud second son, and the whole country was sad.
His tomb ceremony was presided over by the current Chief High Priest, but it won't be long before the new pharaoh's succession ceremony will be grandly prepared again.
The host of the succession ceremony will be no one else, but the high priest.
On the day of the ceremony, She Zhang was most afraid of the occasion where the sun's divine power was strongest, so he refused to follow him desperately.
That's what it's afraid of, that is, the idiot human who—
"..."
Hiding in the shadows, Black Snake poked his head out, watching the idiot raise his head high, and calmly walk into the brightest sunlight.
In the distance, impatient, he made a disguise in advance and came to meet his idiot prince—no, idiot Pharaoh, waiting for him there.
"........."
"Hey, eggs."
Involuntarily, with doubts that he hadn't understood for six years, She Zhang asked the white egg who hadn't followed him for some reason: "Could it be that you spent almost all of your divine power and stayed here just for him?"
White Skin Egg ignored it as expected.It never bothered.
But, very unexpected.
This time, the white egg not only ignored it, but also didn't kick it viciously.
The author has something to say: Hello everyone, as you wish, you are finally not far from death!Let's look forward to (?)
Quietly, let’s organize a fun (?) activity, the first baby who guesses how many chapters gg, after that, I will give you a set of free postcards with the picture on the cover + the picture of the draft, free of charge.Give a range, it will not exceed the Mid-Autumn Festival
The witty baby who was the first to guess the biggest foreshadowing in the previous article also came (I don’t think so)
I almost forgot to say that Tahir is the first and only human being who signed a contract with it.
That contract is actually a contract to recognize the master. Since the day the snake staff was born, its eyes were high above the top. It only thought of teasing greedy humans for fun, and never thought of finding a master for itself.
However, the contract is within the scope of the deal that Tahir wants to make with it, if he can't fully control the power of the snake stick, he will never trust it easily.
It just so happened that Snake Stick was bluffed, and the desire to watch the fun took the majority, and it thought that this human being would be lured to die tragically by itself sooner or later.
After the master dies, the contract will disappear naturally. There is no harm, but there is still fun to watch. Who wouldn't like such a good thing?
So it recognized it.
After a few days of recognition, I realized that I was finished. Compared with that human being, I was not "evil" at all. It turned out that it was called "innocent".
Following this human being named Tahir, the tongue that Snake Staff is most proud of is useless, the excitement you want to watch is invisible, and you can't speak freely. After saying a few words, you are thrown to the ground by the "master" The possibility of stepping on - up to [-]%.
Not only was it stepped on, but it was also kicked and beaten by a guy who was supposed to be a mascot.
When it was beaten for the first time, Snake Staff was terrified, because it thought that it was about to go blind like its "master", and it actually saw God in the world.
It was so frightened that it obediently was kicked by God and flew far away, almost fell into the lake with a plop.
When he was beaten for the second time, Snake Zhang was already awake, and he would not be bluffed by the identity of a "god" like he was easily bluffed by a mere human.
Because it can see that this "god" who somehow stayed in the world may have been sealed or overused. There is no divine power left at all, and he is so weak that he can beat him. What could it be!
then.
Snake Stick (boldly yelling): "What are you doing? What do you want to do? You are a long-legged white egg! There are two groups of eyes growing on the eggshell. You are a funny dead snake! Believe it or not, my lord swallowed you—poof!"
Gudong Gudong Gudong——
The snake stick flew backwards at the speed of light for a hundred meters, and this time it finally fell into the holy lake as it wished.
There is a little bit of divine power accumulated over the years in the lake water. For the snake staff, which is full of dark power, it will undoubtedly fall into the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, and it will be instantly scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Its "owner" would never come to catch it, so when the snake rod struggled and rolled ashore tenaciously on its own, it had turned into a half-dead snake that was blacker than before, hot and smoking.

Snake Staff (because he was too angry to speak human words): "Hiss——hiss! Hiss!"
The translation is: Abominable - abominable!Damn humans, hateful white eggs!
In such a harsh environment, no matter how the Snake Staff instigated human beings and stirred up blood and blood in the world, once it fell into the demon—no, under the legs of the gods, it was doomed to have no chance to stand up again.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Master Mejed chased and beat the snake rod every day, and it was almost to the sky.
Tahir helped out at first, but later saw that it would not lose money at all, so he let the two mascots... two extraordinary existences go to one side and make a fuss.
Signing a contract with the Snake Staff is indeed a move that can only do harm without seeing any benefit.

'Man, innocent man.You only know that you won't regret it now, but you don't know whether you will be moved and regret this self in one year, ten years, or decades when you look back on today. '
'Today you are only blind, tomorrow you will be completely blind, and the day after tomorrow all other precious things will be gone from you.Not only are there things that existed in you before, but there are more things that you could have had but had to give up...'
——All in all, what you will lose is "everything", including your own life.

'You've lost so much, why don't you choose to enjoy it while you're still alive—poof! '
The Snake Staff was kicked away by Master Mejed when he just said this, before he entered the persuasion.
The two little guys who were officially reduced to mascots wandered around the lakeside, causing a lot of grass and leaves.

The lake was halfway up to his waist, and was still slowly moving upwards.
The young man's blond hair was not submerged, it was peacefully held up by the light green water, and spread out like golden threads, more dazzling than the sparkling waves on the surface of the lake.
The timing was bad.
Looking from the shore, the scene where even gods and non-human beings can't help but be intoxicated can only be seen at the end. The back of the high priest is extremely tightly covered by the lake water and his long hair, and the key process is all missed.
She Zhang and Master Mejed (inexplicably regretful): "Tsk..."
After a while, he suddenly reacted again.
Snake Staff and Lord Mejed (the flames of war repeat): "Hmph!"
The two fought each other again.
The movement of the blades of grass is seen from a distance, as if hares were fighting.
Tahir still didn't care too much about the battle situation by the lake.
The work of bathing before the worship ceremony is extremely critical for priests, because it is as important as the cumbersome etiquette in the ceremony to ensure that their bodies are pure and clean.
At present, only Tahir, Snake Staff and Lord Mejed know about the matter of abandoning the faith.
Perhaps the god Ra, who knows everything about the ground, should be added, but until now, he has not received the "oracle" to deprive himself of his status as high priest, so the daily rituals will continue as usual.
The water of the holy lake under the sun is not as cold as it looks, and even has a little temperature.
Soaking in such lake water will make people feel the warmth and comfort.Slowly, the feeling of being cleansed physically and mentally came from this.
This temperature is actually not just obtained from the long-term sunlight, but the extremely weak divine power of the sun god that has been integrated into the holy lake as mentioned before.
For ordinary priests, such meager divine power is considered a reward from the gods. Bathing in it every day may not prolong life, but it also has the effect of strengthening the body.
But for humans who are no longer included in this list...
- cold.
When the warmth of the sun touched the body of the blond young man who entered the lake, it instantly showed a ferocious face, which turned into biting cold.
The surface of the lake looks soft and surrounds the body, it seems that the cruelest coldness is hidden under this peace.
At that moment, the blond young man's eyelids trembled slightly, his mouth opened a little, and then closed again in the next second.
He forcibly persisted in this cold that can freeze people and prevent the blood from flowing inside.
Stay in the lake water and wipe your body with your hands.
At this moment, the gentle water lines in the past have become a ruthless obstacle, making Tahir's hand sink into the lake water, as if being blocked by the ice that instantly condensed under the water surface.
After a while, he struggled to come back out of the water, and on the warm and jade-like white arms, there were already patches of dead purple.
The hands just soaked for a while, and they became like this.
In the same way, it is hard to imagine what other places that have been submerged in the water look like at this time.
Just looking at Tahir's expression, it is impossible to find out the clue, because he is so cold from the beginning to the end.
The content of "God's Punishment" has been slowly unfolding for him.
It's ok.
The High Priest, who calmly endured the punishment that was going to be a little bit heavier, was in a calm mood, and he could even think lightly that he had completed the most important "task", and now there was one last thing left...not too far away.
He won't regret it.
The black snake's temptation to him is destined to be ineffective, because it can never imagine that Tahir's journey to this height has never been done by himself.
If it wasn't for realizing the hope that that person entrusted to him, he wouldn't even want what he got now.
What to lose?
How much will you lose?
It doesn't matter even if they are all lost, after all, they have not been his pursuit from the beginning to the end.
She Zhang's speculation about his "desire" is really ridiculous.
Tahir almost actually laughed out loud when he heard that.
Although it must have been a chuckle of disdain—at the moment when all the camouflage was about to be torn off, it was this man who was completely cold in his bones, and finally revealed a little bit of his arrogance without concealing it.
"My real desire is him? In terms of ignorance, it seems that you are better."
This sentence, which does not hide its cold edge at all, was uttered under extremely special circumstances.
Well.
Not a big deal either.
It's nothing more than Snake Stick still not giving up, quietly using evil power to manipulate the dream of the "master", trying to enter the dream to give hints to influence him.
There are white eggs in the daytime, and it is easier and more convenient to start at night in dreams. This calculation is very good.
It can be seen from this that Snake Zhang really worked very hard to prove that as long as he is a human being, he cannot escape the word "desire".
But no matter how hard it tries, it can't change the result of failure.
—Late at night, in the dream of the high priest.
All the scenes are the same as what you see in the daytime, even the most subtle details are not perfunctorily blurred. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice the difference between dream and reality at all.
The time was also late at night, but the location was inside the stone house with oil lamps lit.
The light was powered by some kind of power, and it kept jumping in the lampstand, causing the figure swept by its light to suddenly fall on the wall, and it couldn't help being stretched a bit.
The owner of one of the long and narrow shadows is naturally the same person as the owner of the dream.
And the other person in the room is——
A phantom that took the shape of a certain prince.
Even if it is a phantom, it is still the face of the person whom the high priest dreams of. No matter how cruel the high priest is, it is impossible not to be seduced by the person he admires.Black Snake probably thought so.
That's why it filled the eyes of the phantom brown-haired young man with blazing heat, and Kong Wu's powerful young body was also blazing hot.
"He" grabbed the hand of the cold young man who was bathed in moonlight, let him press it on his chest, and told him that this heart beats only for him.
"His" handsome face approached the blond-haired young man, the tips of their noses were almost touching, while "he" was still tilting his head slightly, and he was about to kiss the young man's thin lips...
—and "he" fell down.
It's not the kind of falling down that hides the deep meaning, but in the literal sense, being pushed away mercilessly.
The next moment, the high priest stepped on "his" chest with his right foot, right in front of the heart that was said to be beating only for him.
"Are you only using this kind of dirty trick? It has no effect other than making me feel sick."
The high priest bent down haughtily, as if stepping on the chest of the brown-haired young man in his dream, but it was only half bent.
He stretched out his arms leisurely, and the moist fingers corroded by the water of the holy lake during this period can only look like they used to in his dreams.
At this moment, he used his index finger to pick up the brown-haired young man's jaw, and then firmly clasped it tightly with his thumb.
The cascading blond hair poured down from his ears, allowing shadows to fill his expressionless face.
The brown-haired young man's expression of disbelief hadn't been formed yet, but was abruptly interrupted by the pair of ice-blue eyes that looked at each other as close as they were far away.
- It shouldn't be like this.
——Looking at the eyes of the person you really admire... Yes, even if you have already found out that it is "fake"!It shouldn't be so cold.
It was only at that moment that She Zhang realized that his speculation about Tahir had gone wrong again.
This human being can't be deduced by common sense at all... He doesn't look like a normal human being at all!
To be able to risk one's life for a person with whom one is neither close nor close, without asking for anything in return, is not "love", what else could it be?
It really couldn't figure it out, and Tahir was not interested in explaining to it.
In the dream, only the Serpent Staff, who left a deep psychological shadow since that day, knew how terrifying the High Priest was who didn't need to hide it at all.
He only warned it, and if he did anything related to His Majesty Ramses, he would tear it apart completely and throw it on the altar to be exposed to the sun god's divine power.
"I—I don't believe you dare to die with me!"
The details of the contract are as follows.
When the master dies, the contract is automatically terminated, and the snake stick remains unscathed.
If the snake rod is destroyed, the contract will not be canceled, and the soul of the owner will also dissipate with it.
So the snake stick didn't believe that Tahir could really be so ruthless... No, it immediately realized that this threat was not a threat at all to Tahir.
Because, even if he doesn't die with it, at the moment when this human's fragile body loses its function due to aging or other reasons, he himself will—
"Then you can try again."
Tahir said calmly.
"..."
She Zhang shut up, and since then he has really stopped doing trouble, and accepted it with ashamed heart, "Even if this master is willing to die for others, it is not because of love, but because he is a super big man who respects and worships others as gods." idiot" fact.
Of course, if you shut up, you should shut up, and the snake staff who unilaterally hated this super idiot is still vicious in his heart.
Anyway, the contract will be terminated sooner or later, and it will be peacefully waiting for him to die, just to slowly appreciate the tragedy of this idiot human being suffering from deepening pain before dying.
No kidding, it is really enjoying it with its heart - the daily fights with white eggs can't break its interest.
So, She Zhang watched the idiot humans insist on bathing in the holy lake three times a day, each time they were chilled all over, their lips were purple, they entered the temple alone to worship the gods and then came out, their complexions were pale and transparent like thin paper.
She Zhang also watched the eyesight of idiot humans weaken at a very obvious rate, and within a few more years, they were no different from being blind.
Snake Zhang still looks at the idiotic human beings who will occasionally take out a strange board with nothing on it, draw a few strokes on it, and then fall into silence after drawing, only on rarer occasions, a few words of "no" will leak from their lips. Very clear pronunciation.
It would never admit that it quietly pricked up its ears—well, it has no ears—and tried hard to listen, only to vaguely recognize that it was a ballad written by idiot human beings to the most beloved people.
The snakes are all taken.
There are such brilliant idiots in the world.
He respected that idiot boy who hadn't ascended the throne so much, not to mention the god Seth who had no sense of existence at all, even La was overwhelmed.
But the idiot kid didn't know anything, the only thing he did with conscience was to refuse to obey his father's order to get married.
If the snake stick has already determined that the idiot is interested in the idiot, but the idiot is only full of respect for the idiot-it should think that these two humans have made an appointment in advance, and when the idiot kid succeeds, they will get together ...
Oh, here we go.
That idiot prince is really about to succeed.
This is the sixth year that Prince Ramses lifted the curse, and it is also the sixth year that High Priest Tahir has changed from being favored by God to being punished by God.
Pharaoh Seti was old and frail, and he passed away accompanied by his princess and the most proud second son, and the whole country was sad.
His tomb ceremony was presided over by the current Chief High Priest, but it won't be long before the new pharaoh's succession ceremony will be grandly prepared again.
The host of the succession ceremony will be no one else, but the high priest.
On the day of the ceremony, She Zhang was most afraid of the occasion where the sun's divine power was strongest, so he refused to follow him desperately.
That's what it's afraid of, that is, the idiot human who—
"..."
Hiding in the shadows, Black Snake poked his head out, watching the idiot raise his head high, and calmly walk into the brightest sunlight.
In the distance, impatient, he made a disguise in advance and came to meet his idiot prince—no, idiot Pharaoh, waiting for him there.
"........."
"Hey, eggs."
Involuntarily, with doubts that he hadn't understood for six years, She Zhang asked the white egg who hadn't followed him for some reason: "Could it be that you spent almost all of your divine power and stayed here just for him?"
White Skin Egg ignored it as expected.It never bothered.
But, very unexpected.
This time, the white egg not only ignored it, but also didn't kick it viciously.
The author has something to say: Hello everyone, as you wish, you are finally not far from death!Let's look forward to (?)
Quietly, let’s organize a fun (?) activity, the first baby who guesses how many chapters gg, after that, I will give you a set of free postcards with the picture on the cover + the picture of the draft, free of charge.Give a range, it will not exceed the Mid-Autumn Festival
The witty baby who was the first to guess the biggest foreshadowing in the previous article also came (I don’t think so)
