Chapter 21 The Origin of the Books
"Where is the Sun Gold Sutra now?" When everyone was excited when Chen Mo said that he had dug out the Sun Gold Sutra, Evelyn couldn't wait to read this sutra.
Chen Mo looked at Ada Wang. When he was in Hamnata before, Chen Mo asked Ada Wang to take the scriptures away.
"That book made of gold? It was placed with our luggage and should still be in the hotel now." Ada Wang answered to Chen Mo.
Hearing Ada Wang say this, Evelyn hurriedly said excitedly: "Then hurry up and bring it up, maybe there is a way to destroy that monster!"
Everyone discussed it, and finally O'Connor, Jonathan, and Adebe rushed back to their hotel where they stored their luggage, and brought back the two scriptures and the four funeral urns that Chen Mo had specially asked them to collect before.
The rest stayed at the museum, and with the help of the museum's solid architectural structure, everyone stayed together to prevent Imoton from being caught by the solitary person who was left alone again.
However, it was boring to just do this. The three Americans sat together and started playing poker, while Evelyn pulled Chen Mo to discuss everything about Imoton. The most mentioned by the three was Chen Mo's relationship between Imoton and the Exodus.
After all, if Chen Mo's guess is true, it will be a very important event for both the Christian faith and the archaeological discoveries of ancient Egyptian civilization.
In terms of its significance, it can even be compared with Shang Boliang's cracking of ancient Egyptian characters.
Because this proves that there was really God involved in the history of mankind in ancient times, which was enough to rewrite the history of mankind.
However, Chen Mo did not have much interest in this, because the existence of the gods is a fact for him and does not need to be verified.
And he is not a historian, so he needs to prove anything through the examination of the gods.
For Chen Mo, if the god exists, he is the existence. If the god does not exist, he does not exist. He does not need to prove the existence of the god, nor does he need to be excited about the existence of the god.
But Chen Mo's attitude made Evelyn feel a little dissatisfied. She asked Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen Mo, aren't you excited about this? You must know that this may be the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century! We have proved the authenticity of the Bible and found evidence that the gods once existed!"
Regarding Evelyn's words and this excited attitude, Chen Mo shook his head and asked her: "If the gods exist objectively, then why have we not seen the gods now?"
"This... maybe it's because we are not pious enough that the gods have left?" Evelyn said a statement that suits religious concepts very much.
This theory has been promoted in many religions. God created human beings, but human beings are full of bad habits and cannot bear the education. Then God left disappointed, leaving only human beings who have lost the protection of the gods to struggle in disaster.
Afterwards, according to the different myths of various families, some humans continued to fall, so the gods cleaned up most of the bad humans, leaving only a few survivors with good character to continue human civilization, while others created the Savior, allowing the Savior to guide the voters worthy of salvation to go to a foreign land...
In short, the consistent idea is that human beings are sinful. If you want to redeem your sins, you must repent to the gods and devote your wealth.
But for Chen Mo, he felt that this was nonsense.
So he said to Evelyn: "The gods have always been there, not great because of human worship, nor will they destroy human beings because of human beings' badness. The heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. Human beings will not be different from other creatures for gods.
So it is meaningless to discuss whether the gods exist. Now I think you should consider how to eliminate Imoton.
There may be solutions to the problem in the Sun Gold Sutra, but it may not be, and things may even be worse. I think Miss Evelyn, you should not forget that Imoton's resurrection was because you recited the mantra on the Undead Black Sutra, right? Who can guarantee that there is no similar thing in the Sun Gold Sutra?"
Chen Mo's words made Evely quickly wake up from the "greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century". They still have a huge trouble to deal with now, and it is indeed not the time to pay attention to whether the gods really exist.
Seeing Evelyn calm down, Chen Mo asked the director beside him: "Mr. Director, do you have any records about the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun in the museum? Or do you have any records or information passed down from generation to generation by your pharaoh guards? I think we need all helpful information."
"Let me think about it... there seems to be information about the two scriptures in the museum." The director tried hard to recall, as if he was thinking, and looked at Evelyn beside him and asked her, "Do you have any impression of Evelyn?"
"It seems that there are records of two scriptures on a certain stone tablet. I'll look for them." After that, Evelyn ran out.
Seeing this, Chen Mo could only feel helpless about Evelyn's hot personality. He said to Ada Wang beside him: "Ada, follow up and take a look, don't let Miss Evelyn have another accident."
"I get it, boss." Ada Wang nodded, carried an assault rifle and walked out and caught up with Evelyn.
As Evelyn rushed out in a hurry, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the director's face. Evelyn had been working in the museum before, which made the director count as her leader. Her subordinates had such a personality, which really made the director feel embarrassed.
Chen Mo didn't care about it at this point and still asked the director for information about the two scriptures and Imoton.
For the curator, this information is usually a taboo that cannot be mentioned. In order to prevent Imoton from being resurrected, the Pharaoh's guards erased a large number of records about Imoton in order to prevent anyone from finding information about resurrecting Imoton.
This undoubtedly caused trouble for Chen Mo and others. After recalling it for a long time, the director remembered it seemed that there was a volume of ancient books that recorded something.
"Uh... I'm not sure if I remember clearly. When I was young, I seemed to have read an ancient scroll, which records that during the 18th Dynasty, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV carried out the religious reform, and assigned the Egyptian gods to the One of the Gods of Asun, forcibly carried out the religious reform. He also wrote the secrets about the gods and death in two scriptures..." The director paused and turned his eyes to Chen Mo.
"It seems that that is the origin of the Sun Gold Sutra and the Undead Black Sutra." Chen Mo couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders when he heard this.
