Chapter 22 The Loss of the Black Book of the Undead
I understood the origin of the two scriptures, but they didn't provide much help on how to deal with Immorton.
But at this time, Chen Mo also understood why those two scriptures had such terrifying power.
In the era of Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, in order to carry out religious reform and eliminate the influence of the priests of the gods on the country, he forcibly promoted the worship of the god Aten and attributed other Egyptian gods to
The god Aten is one, bringing together the power of all gods.
The Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead are artifacts made under such a background.
The sun and death were the two things that the ancient Egyptians cared about most.
The worship of the sun god allowed the ancient Egyptians to create the glorious ancient Egyptian civilization, and the emphasis on death allowed the ancient Egyptians to build the great pyramids and a series of other impressive temples and tombs. It can be said that these things
It has become a symbol of ancient Egypt.
In a sense, these two scriptures are symbols of the ancient Egyptian gods and the embodiment of their most powerful power.
In connection with the contents of Akhenaten's religious reform at that time, and the fact that these two scriptures can control the power of the gods as long as they chant incantations, Chen Mo has reason to believe that these two scriptures were created by the Pharaoh at that time to control the gods.
Controller of divine power.
If Akhenaton's religious reform was successful at that time, changing ancient Egypt from polytheism to monotheism, and relying on the power of these two scriptures to control the Egyptian gods, he himself would be regarded as the pharaoh incarnation of the gods in the world. Akhenaton would indeed have
It was possible to establish a powerful and powerful country and change the situation in which the priesthood almost rivaled the pharaoh during the Eighteenth Dynasty.
But it is a pity that Akhenaten's reforms failed. After his death, everything returned to the original state. His two sons Smenkara and Tutankhamen did not have as strong control as he did. After Tutankhamen
Three years after taking the throne, everything was back to how it was before.
The first religious reform recorded in human history failed in this way, and the two scriptures became sacred objects in the hands of the priesthood and were regarded as taboo and should not be touched.
After all, in the eyes of those priests who believe in the gods, these two scriptures that can control the power of the gods are undoubtedly blasphemous.
But equally, who can harness and manipulate the power of the gods, who can resist such a temptation?
Chen Mo didn't know what happened after that. There was no historical record of what happened more than 3,000 years ago. However, the 18th Dynasty declined rapidly after Akhenaten, from a prosperous and powerful country to a precarious one.
, did not flourish again until the 19th Dynasty, and what happened during this period is quite intriguing.
This is not the point now, but in the future, after Chen Mo takes control of the entire Egypt, he may be able to use the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead to manipulate the power of the gods to do something to improve the land of Egypt.
status, thereby consolidating your notification.
The power of the gods is powerful. It is not better to use it to ensure the fertility of the land and the good weather than to use it to resurrect the dead or create natural disasters?
However, just when Chen Mo was thinking about how to use the power of the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead in the future to improve people's livelihood and enhance the comprehensive national strength of Egypt, O'Connor and others who went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage brought back a
Not so good news.
The Black Book of the Dead and the five funeral urns were lost, and they only brought back other luggage.
If Chen Mo's luggage hadn't been put together with them and no one knew that he had dug up the Sun Golden Scripture, I'm afraid the Sun Golden Scripture would have been lost together now.
Chen Mo was also a little helpless. He took the Golden Book of the Sun from Adebe. Looking at the three people who were a little embarrassed, he asked: "How did you lose the things? Did you encounter that monster?"
"It's Benny. He took the monster to the hotel and took away the funeral urn and the Black Book of the Dead. They were leaving when we arrived." O'Connor explained what happened to Chen Mo with some self-blame: "
We planned to go up and snatch it back, but unfortunately the monster had recovered some strength and turned into a ball of yellow sand and swept away Benny and the scriptures together."
Although he had always known that Benny was greedy for life and afraid of death, he had always regarded him as a friend, but he never thought that Benny would betray everyone again in the end.
Facing O'Connor's self-blame, Chen Mo just patted him on the shoulder without saying anything. The feeling of being betrayed by a good friend was not pleasant, especially being betrayed twice.
"Then what should we do now? If that monster gets the Black Book of the Dead, won't it cause an even greater disaster?" After receiving the news that the O'Connor trio were back, Evelin rushed over in a hurry.
She could not wait to read the Black Book of the Dead again, but she was disappointed to learn that the Black Book of the Dead had been taken away.
However, she also set her sights on the Golden Book of the Sun in Chen Mo's hand. Without the Black Book of the Dead, the Golden Book of the Sun could satisfy her thirst for knowledge.
However, Chen Mo had no intention of showing her the Sun Golden Scripture. He just looked at the curator and asked him: "Imerton hasn't recovered his strength yet. Shouldn't he kill people first to regain his strength?"
What did you want to do by taking away the Black Book of the Dead and Ansuna's five funeral urns?"
"Perhaps three thousand years have made him impatient to resurrect his old lover?" O'Connor on the side speculated wildly.
Regarding O'Connor's random speculation, Chen Mo nodded seriously and said affirmatively: "There is a possibility that for this high priest, Ansuna is probably the only spiritual sustenance that has supported him through these three thousand years.
Already."
Although O'Connor's guess was very unreasonable, he got it right.
For Immorton, there is indeed nothing more important than Ansuna.
"Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I think it is more likely that he hopes to restore his power through the Black Book of the Dead." The curator on the side had a different view.
After all, for him, Immorton has always been the object of their clan's vigilance and guarding since childhood, and it is tantamount to speculating on any of his actions with the greatest malice.
Chen Mo didn't intend to express any opinion on this. He just said casually, "Maybe he wants both," then stretched out his hand to O'Connor and asked him, "Where's the key? Borrow it."
I'll use it, I want to open the Sun Golden Sutra."
However, at this time, O'Connor and Jonathan looked at him together and smiled awkwardly but politely.
