Lin Sen saw the tired look on Huang Buyi's face and praised: "Brother, what you said is so good. Your knowledge is really profound. I never imagined that you could know so many things."
Huang Buyi smiled modestly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. These things are also recorded in some ancient books. In today's society, people pay less and less attention to ancient things. Many magical things have gradually disappeared among people.
From our perspective. This is a loss, a loss for all mankind.”
"Yes, that's what it means when the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, right?"
Lin Sen sighed a little, the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Does this have anything to do with it?
But Huang Buyi agreed with Lin Sen's words and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what it means. In today's society, everyone is chasing money, and the environment has been destroyed to a great extent. Otherwise, wouldn't it be
Maybe the scarcity of spiritual energy cannot cultivate strong cultivators."
"Well, I've read some information in some books. Things like spiritual energy are very mysterious. It's hard to explain how they are created, but I think it must have something to do with the environment. What you just said, cultivation
All the practitioners have fled to their own small world. In this big world, it is the world of us superpowers. In fact, this is also our opportunity. If it is still the world of cultivators, it will be difficult for us.
People with superpowers will be mercilessly suppressed and even treated as evil heretics and weird species. People with attribute superpowers are fine, but we animalistic superpowers are completely heretical species and it is difficult to survive in them.
To survive in this world.”
Huang Buyi nodded and said: "Maybe, many things will not change with our wishes. We can only follow the rules of this era and follow our own path."
After saying this, Huang Buyi smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Sen, I just talked about the mythical beasts and magic in the East. Do you know what mythical beasts and artifacts there are in the West?"
Lin Sen finally couldn't help but asked and said, "Brother, what do you mean? Does the big secret event you want to talk about have something to do with the Eastern and Western mythical beasts and artifacts?"
Lin Sen became more and more confused. What the hell, Western mythical beasts and artifacts? He really knew about it!
"Yes, it has a lot to do with it."
Huang Buxi nodded, his expression serious. Lin Sen had never seen such a solemn look on Huang Buxi's face before. It was unprecedented.
"I know some artifacts from Western mythology. Do you want to listen?"
Western mythology has always been a topic of great interest to Lin Sen. During his college days, he carefully read some books that recorded artifacts and beasts in Western mythology.
Huang Buxi nodded and said, "If you know, just tell me. I know very little about the West, but this big event is really related to those things. I want to know."
Lin Sen had no reason to hesitate, so he explained: "Let me tell you about the artifact first. The first one is the "Holy Grail": As we all know, the "Holy Grail" in the traditional sense is the container used by Jesus during his crucifixion.
It is said that if you drink the water in the Holy Grail, you will be rejuvenated and gain eternal life. Dan Brown's book "The Da Vinci Code" explains the meaning of the "Holy Grail".
This reinterpretation is also the latest interpretation of the "Holy Grail". The book says that the "Holy Grail" does not refer to the cup used by Jesus in the Last Supper, but is a metaphor for Jesus' spouse, symbolizing the sacred goddess.
"
"Well, I've heard about this, you continue." Huang Buyi spread his hands, lit a cigarette and continued smoking as usual. Lin Sen also took one and smoked it, which relieved his fatigue and stress.
"The second item is the "amon's emblem": In the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, the scarab (scarab) was the incarnation of the sun god in the morning. The scarab rolled animal excrement into balls. The Egyptians believed that the Golden Tortoise rolled out of the sun and was placed in the sky. The Golden Tortoise lays eggs on the ball, which also means fertility, life and regeneration. The "Coat of Arms of the Sun God" is exactly one with the Golden Tortoise engraved on it. chapter, symbolizing creation and rebirth. The third item is "King Solomon's Mines": Solomon is one of the most important of all the symbols about Christ in the Old Testament. King Solomon is also The king of Israel, King Solomon is said to have superhuman wisdom and wisdom. When he ruled Israel, the politics were improved, the people's livelihood was peaceful, Israel achieved unprecedented prosperity, and the large amount of wealth hoarded by King Solomon also became the goal pursued by adventurers. The Bible once described King Solomon's wealth in this way, "He made the silver of Jerusalem as numerous as stones, and the cedars as numerous as sycamores." The key word specifically referred to in the code "King Solomon's Treasures" is "wealth."
Huang Buxi listened very carefully. He had an advantage that Lin Sen did not have, that is, he would seriously study unfamiliar things, even if he was not very interested in that kind of thing. Of course, that is the guarantee of his powerful memory. With such a powerful memory, it would be a pity not to make good use of it.
"Next is the "King's Sword" (excalibur): the sword used by Britain's most legendary King of Britain, King Arthur. The word "excalibur" means "broken steel" in ancient Celtic language. About There are different opinions on the origin of the sword. Some people say that King Arthur drew the sword from a stone, but everyone agrees that King Arthur broke the sword in the battle. Under the guidance of the magician Merlin, he came to a lake. The elf Avalon made this sword for him. The sword is made of gold. The hilt is inlaid with gold gems. The silver blade reflects light green. This sword is mainly large and thick, and the luxurious decoration is Showing the style of the royal family. From then on, this sword, which symbolized the power of heroes, accompanied King Arthur in invincibility. It was not until after his defeat in the Battle of Camlann that the "Sword of the King" returned to the hands of the elves in the lake. Lost forever in the depths of that quiet lake."
Lin Sen's favorite thing is swords. The Western Sword of Kings and the Eastern Xuanyuan Sword are the things he hopes to obtain most.
Huang Buyi said: "It is the Sword of the King. After a while, the Sword of the King will be unearthed. At that time, you must work hard to get the Sword of the King."
Huang Buxi finally revealed a little secret, but after just one sentence, he stopped and did not continue. Lin Sen was shocked in his heart. If that was really the case, he would have tried his best to grab it!
"There is also the "Spear of Longinus": According to the Bible, when Jesus was crucified, a warrior named "Longinus" stabbed him in the side with a spear. On his flank, the blood of Jesus dripped into Longinus' eyes. Longinus was instantly influenced, so he gave up his identity as a warrior, became a devout monk, and gained the ability to perform miracles. Later he was posthumously recognized as a saint and was called "Saint Longinus". The "Lance of Longinus" is the only weapon in the legend that has harmed the Son of God. The gun was also named after the soldier who stabbed Jesus. , this gun is also called the "Grail of Destiny" or the "Holy Spear". There was a legend that if the person who possesses both the "Holy Grail" and the "Holy Spear" is the person chosen by God to rule the world, which means "Lang "The Spear of Ginus" can give the holder "victory"."
There are still many artifacts in the West. After Lin Sen finished speaking, Huang Buyi said with a smile: "You are also very knowledgeable. I have never heard of many things. I only know it now because you have said it.
So we two brothers should communicate more. In that case, we can all gain more knowledge."
Lin Sen agreed. Through this chat with Huang Buji, he really gained a lot. It was not the knowledge that was of little use for the time being, but the breakthrough to the SS level, which is what the Chinese supernatural world calls heaven.
Level. He estimated that his current strength could compete with Huang Buxi's father and uncle, or even surpass them. As for the mysterious Yi Tianxing, he was the person that Lin Sen most dared not offend.
Huang Buyi said: "Then I will tell you some monsters in Western mythology, otherwise you will look down on me.
Ahuizotl (water monkey) is a man-eating water monster in Mesoamerican mythology. It is half human and half monkey. It has a hand on its tail. It is used to grab people near the water. Sometimes it will use its cries to lure people to the water and rob them.
Food.
Airavata (Aravada) is the mount of Indra in Indian mythology, a huge white elephant. There are different descriptions of it. Some say it has six tusks, some say it has eight proboscis, and some say it has eight proboscis.
Then say three heads.
Ammut is a crocodile-headed sphinx in ancient Egypt. Its hind body is like a hippopotamus and likes to eat carrion. Legend has it that it is a subordinate of Osiris, the king of Egypt who has been resurrected from the dead. The undead souls that are found guilty will become its rations.
Basilisk (cockatrice) recorded in the Bible is "a snake with the characteristics of a toad and a rooster. It is equivalent to the cockatrice in the Middle Ages. It has the head and legs of a rooster and the tail of a snake. Its body is like a bird, but it is not covered with feathers.
With snake scales.”
There are many monsters in Western mythology, but unfortunately, Huang Buxi only knows these few.
Lin Sen smiled and added: "There is also behemoth, the giant beast recorded in the Book of Job in the Old Testament. Verses 15 to 18 read: "This is the Behemoth I created.
It eats grass like a cow, and its strength is concentrated in its waist and abdomen near its navel. Its tail is as straight as a fir tree, its muscles are as strong as stone, and its bones are as hard as copper and iron."
Burak (Buraka) is the mount of Muhammad, the Arab prophet and founder of Islam. It has the face and voice of a human, the ears of a donkey, the body of a horse, the wings and tail of a peacock, and its eyes are as blue as sapphires, shining like stars.
Here I changed the human face into an ape face. In all subsequent places that involve the same characteristics as humans, I replaced them with apes~~
Catoblepas (Catoblepas) According to Pliny's records in "Natural History", catoblepas is produced at the source of the Nile River. It is small and bulky, with inflexible limbs, but its head is surprisingly large, so it often hangs its head on
On the ground, otherwise it is likely to kill all the life around you."
For the first time, Huang Buyi felt that Lin Sen was not only a strong man, but also a very intelligent man. These things are not so easy to know. Lin Sen can know these things, but he doesn’t know how many times he has seen them.
Books, how much time have been spent. If people nowadays don’t need them, who would care about those things? They are all busy making money and fighting for fame and fortune.
