2 Phantom Demon "Wind, what did you see?" he asked solemnly.
A gust of wind blew over, and the burnt smell disappeared. What did I see? I saw nothing but ashes.
He continued to talk to himself: "Elder Sahan said that there is a phantom demon buried in every pyramid, big or small, young or old, no one is missing. The pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh.
The phantom demon is a loyal servant who guards the tomb, always guarding the heroic spirit of the Pharaoh. The spells engraved on the stone doors, stone walls, and sarcophagi are not smeared by humans, but are the masterpieces of the phantom demon..."
The sun was setting, and the terrace was immersed in dim light. The sound of the scalpel was gloomy and slow, as if it was deliberately imitating the tone of the desert wizard.
There are records about phantom demons in many classics. The most typical one is the story of the fisherman and the devil in "Arabian Nights". The devil is the phantom demon imprisoned in King Solomon's copper bottle. His body can be as big as a mountain.
It can also instantly turn into smoke and shrink into a narrow bottle. The changes are endless, and the magic power is all kinds of strange.
Su Lun sniffed and wrapped her robe tighter.
"Anyone who wants to open the tomb of the Pharaoh will be retaliated by the phantom demon, die without a burial place, and bring harm to the whole family. Therefore, subjects who truly believe in the Pharaoh will never think of robbing the tomb.
Regardless of poverty or wealth, everyone will stay away from the intrusion of the phantom demon. And its master, the great Pharaoh, will also cast a spell on the phantom demon, allowing it to distinguish between good and bad enemies and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately..."
These words have been described in classics, but I always thought they were lies told by the Egyptian Pharaoh to deceive and frighten the ignorant people. All rulers, in order to consolidate their empire, will create all kinds of magical legends to show their power.
He is appointed by Heaven to govern the country. Anyone who rebels against him is rebelling against the will of Heaven.
I stood up and prepared to leave the terrace and take a shower first. After so many days in the desert, I was very dirty.
"Feng, remember these words, Elder Sahan said, you must remember these words!" Scalpel hurriedly finished his narration, stood up, and put his arms around Su Lun's shoulders. The brothers and sisters looked at me, full of hope.
and expectations, as if I were some hero saving the world. However, I know I am not.
"Brother Feng, I also want to say - I'm sorry..." Su Lun's eyes were filled with tears. Of course she should understand that I would not deliberately set up a "Kirigakure Itto Ryu" trap to harm her. As for those weird things
Why did the ninja appear near the camp? You can probably only ask the Japanese Tanano.
In the huge hot spring bathroom of the villa, I was always thinking about the two things "phantom demon" and "emperor Gu". The scene I saw in the underground tunnel was too mysterious to be described. If according to Elder Sahan's theory, it should be
He must be the phantom demon who protects the Pyramid of Tulukhan.
Since it is an illusion demon, everything will be an illusion. So, what about those innocent people who were swallowed up? Are they just temporarily imprisoned and put aside? Are they still alive?
When I think about it, I feel relieved. After all, the disappearance of more than 40 lives inexplicably will make my conscience uneasy for the rest of my life.
A tiger that has been poisoned also needs the help of a poison-repelling expert - when facing people from the Tang Sect in Sichuan, one must be cautious almost every minute and every second. It is indeed an extremely difficult problem...
I washed myself while thinking about it, and it took me almost an hour before I came out of the bathroom clean, put on the embroidered robe prepared by the servant, and walked slowly to the dining room in black satin slippers.
The decoration style of the restaurant is traditional Egyptian style, with colorful pure wool tapestries hanging everywhere.
All the tableware is made of sterling silver and is polished brightly. The four-meter long dining table is covered with a snow-white embroidered tablecloth. The silver plates are filled with whole roast lamb, roast chicken, and roast beef.
Legs, roasted goose, roasted turkey.
The smell of mint leaves and rosemary is everywhere in the air, making people whet their appetite.
The wine glass in front of each seat is filled with pink high-quality Egyptian red wine. It is brewed using the secret method of native wild grapes with extremely low yield in the desert. Not only is it famous, but it is also so expensive that Scotch whiskey
The manufacturers are all ashamed.
I first saw the proud and luxurious Tang Xin. The fox fur on her body was dazzlingly white, and the faint smile on her face, accompanied by the two rows of fine white teeth that appeared and disappeared between the red lips, seemed to be born from birth.
A princess is as noble as a queen, and everyone must look up to her to express their admiration.
Sitting next to her was Tiger, whose face was full of tenderness and sweetness. Five steps behind her was Song Jiu, who was standing upright, always with a straight face and his fingers always pressed on the hilt of his sword. These three people seemed to be connected as one.
, will always appear in my field of vision at the same time.
Su Lun stood up and nodded and smiled at me. Next to her, Scalpel, who was sitting in the master's seat, looked at the wine glass with a slightly melancholy look.
I sat next to Su Lun, smelling the faint fragrance of lavender on her sleeves, and felt refreshed. Compared with Tang Xin, she was unassuming, calm and capable, making her an ideal work partner.
"Everyone, please raise your glasses to welcome our great guests, Miss Tang Xin and Mr. Song from Tangmen in the middle of Sichuan, and the famous hero Tiger. There is an old saying in China, is it a pleasure to have friends come from far away? Please
Let's all drink to our heart's content, and we won't get home until we're drunk." Scalpel's toast was tactful and appropriate, but Song Jiu stood there honestly the whole time without blinking.
"Mr. Song, would you please take a seat? Those present today are all my friends. Please sit down..."
Tang Xin gently raised her orchid fingers and calmly interrupted Scalpel's words: "He is just my servant, Mr. Scalpel. If you want him to take a seat, you'd better invite all the servants and maids in the villa.
Take a seat, is that convenient?"
Tiger was diligently peeling a grape and placing it on the plate in front of Tang Xin. He laughed loudly and said, "Yes, the servants can serve the table. Shouldn't our master stand by and wait on you?" He was completely thinking.
In Tang Xin's case, she didn't even look at the scalpel.
Tang Xin turned around and tilted her chin towards Song Jiu: "Speak."
Song Jiu opened his mouth fluently, as if to endorse: "Du Hu, the six great ministers of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, have been slaves of the Tang clan in Sichuan for generations. They will never betray, otherwise they will be willing to fall into the den of snakes and be buried in the snake's den."
Indeed, among the major surnames of the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan generations, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, Du, and Hu, the Tang clan is the most noble. The other six surnames, I don’t know when, have been willing to be slaves of the Tang clan for generations.
Be loyal and never betray.
The Jianghu is originally a place with strange shapes and extremely chaotic branches. There are many strange rules in the sects, which are incredible just to hear them.
"Haha, interesting..." The scalpel made a haha, and the color changed slightly, but he still maintained his demeanor and identity as the host, greeting everyone to eat.
During the whole meal, I kept my eyes on the tiger, and I was finally convinced that people from the Tang Sect must have tampered with him. Even if it wasn't the "Emperor Gu", it was definitely another ecstasy drug.
In short, it turned him into an idiot who could eat, sleep, talk, and be even more obedient, obeying people's arrangements step by step.
Towards the end of the meal, a servant hurried in with a black cordless phone on a silver tray.
Scalpel answered the phone and listened for a few seconds. His color suddenly changed, and a burst of ecstasy flashed across his face. He kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay!" He was overjoyed.
Tang Xin, Tiger, and Song Jiu's expressions did not change color, and they did not even look at the scalpel, as if there were only three of them in this huge restaurant, and Tang Xin was the focus of everything in the world, making Tiger and Song Jiu surrender willingly.
I noticed a detail. On Tang Xin's wrist, there was a tattoo on the left and right sides. A snake head on the left wrist and a snake tail on the right wrist, dark green in color, delicate and strange.
The tattoo extended all the way to her sleeve. I thought about it and secretly speculated: "Will this tattoo run through her entire body?" I am not opposed to tattoos, but a petite girl has a long dark green tattoo.
If a snake is on the body, once it is exposed, it will definitely not give people a pleasant enjoyment, right?
Furthermore, there are no accessories on her ears, neck, wrists, or fingers, and her hair is flowing naturally, without hairpins or hairpins. Looking closely, you can see that the fox fur on her body has not been machine-processed and is purely natural.
The fox skin is sewn by hand.
In short, there is nothing on her body that is processed by machines in modern society, including the shoes under her feet, which are also hand-sewn and should be made of some kind of extremely tough animal skin.
My mind was racing at a high speed and I couldn't be distracted. I would have looked at her a few more times, which made Song Jiu tap the hilt of his sword several times with his fingers and stare at my face fiercely.
When we were sitting down after the meal, the scalpel tugged on my sleeve and motioned for me to follow him.
One after another, we walked to the end of the corridor on the first floor and stopped in front of a round stone pillar that was as thick as two people's arms. He turned around and couldn't suppress his excitement: "Elder Sahan is awake. He wants to see me. What's more, he wants to see me."
See you." He rubbed his hands excitedly, paced back and forth, and punched the stone pillar with his left fist, making a "pop" sound.
"Meet me? He knows my name?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, he knows. And, he said that you will become an invincible warrior who can restrain the phantom demon. Feng, Elder Sahan will never joke casually. If he said you are, you must be."
The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound from inside the stone pillar, and then the stone wall parted to the left and right, revealing a narrow two-person elevator. I had known that the structure inside the scalpel's villa was very sophisticated and complicated. Today was the first time I experienced it. I and I
Stepping into the elevator behind him, the door quickly closed and the elevator began to fall at high speed.
