Chapter 497 Some legends 【Seeking a monthly ticket
The tripartite agreement between humans, ancestors and cats is thus concluded.
When the ancestors walked out of the main tower of the Usa Temple, they were helped out by Ji Li and other young ancestors. It might be the guilty ancestor in the history of the ancestors, or it might be a great hero in the history of the clan.
It's possible, but right now it just wants to slow down its heart and take a breather.
Including the Evil Ancestor, these little creatures left the temple dejectedly, then left Usa Town and returned to their lair in the Enchanted Forest.
They have to select and arrange a team of ancestors, and prepare to go to the earth world with them to work when Tianxuan team returns.
Some cats also walked out of the main tower and left with one or two catnip leaves. Before they had gone far, they were surrounded by a group of companions and snatched the fragrant leaves.
At the same time, in the hall of the main tower, Gu Jun and others were still trying their best to learn the secrets from the old raccoon cat and the great elder Atal.
Is Nyarlathotep the god worshiped by the cats in Dreamland?
"No!" Hearing this name, the old civet cat, black cat and other cats all showed disgust. The old civet cat revealed the reason without hiding it. It turned out that this was the mortal enemy of their clan - another group of cats in Dreamland.
The existence of belief.
"Nyarlathotep is not a specific thing because it has different faces."
The old civet cat said, "It sometimes appears in phantoms and dreams, and many beings that can be called gods are afraid of it. All its believers, whether they are humans or cats, are interested in destroying, destroying, and teasing others.
Fun, you could call them Chaos Forces."
Gu Jun and Yu Chi all know something about these.
But there is a group of dark cats in the dreamland. This is the first time I have heard of them.
"As for the god our clan believes in, it's okay to tell you." The old civet cat added, "That's the cat goddess Buster."
When Yu Chi heard that, he was suddenly excited, Buster! That is the cat god in ancient Egyptian mythology! She is the war goddess of Lower Egypt.
The cat-headed figure is also the patron saint of the family, representing warmth and joy, and symbolizing the fight against disease and evil.
In mythology, Buster and the Chaos Serpent Apep are also mortal enemies and often fight against each other.
"Gu Dui, Gu Dui..." Yu Chi quickly told Gu Jun this information.
Reince Nelson, a member of the British team Tianji who knows the most about ancient Egyptian mythology, also revealed what he knew.
Gu Jun listened thoughtfully, and one of his speculations was being confirmed.
Nyarlathotep has actually been recorded and worshiped by the Egyptians.
If this name were to be spelled out in English, it would probably be "thotep" as the researchers speculated.
This is because the pronunciation of this name has obvious characteristics of Egyptian names. The ending of "-hotep" in Egyptian names generally means "satisfying" or "calming", like the four Egyptian pharaohs.
"Amenhotep" I, II, III, IV, the name is generally translated as Amenhotep, which means "the person who satisfies Amen".
Amun refers to the sun god Amun-Ra, who is also the twin brother and mortal enemy of the Chaos Serpent Apep.
Amon-Ra, Nyarra, and one more - hotep.
If Nyarlathotep refers to "the one who pleases Nyarla", then who is "Nyarla"?
"I am the Chaos of Fu Xing, and I am the one who satisfies Nyara."
This Nyarlathotep also has its service...
At the moment, Gu Jun is trying to ask the old civet cat and Atal about this issue.
"Is there a higher existence above Buster and Nyarlathotep?" The old civet cat did not hesitate, "The answer is yes, but we don't know, and it's not something you should get involved with.
.However, in the legend related to Randolph Carter... Carter was once deceived by Nyarlathotep, and almost recklessly saw the higher existence, but he realized that he was actually dreaming, so he woke up.
The past way, leaving the dreamland in time."
Speaking of Randolph Carter, the old civet cat can only provide some fragmentary information.
Because that was a long, long time ago, and no old cat like him had ever seen Randolph Carter.
According to legend, Carter climbed the highest mountain in the Dreamland, Kadath, and later recaptured his sunset city from the earthly gods.
The so-called "earthly gods" are different from existences like Nyarlathotep and Bastet. They are gods that mortals can also come into contact with.
In comparison, their power is much weaker than that of the Old Ones.
However, these are all legends, lacking details, unclear cause and effect, and what the final outcome will be.
In fact, they could hear such talk about gods and Kadasi when they asked ordinary residents of Ursa. They were just fairy tales from the dreamland.
On the one hand, everyone in the Tianxuan team felt a little excited after hearing this, because this Randolph Carter was so powerful. The existence of Carter showed that the upper limit of mortals could be very high; but on the other hand, it was precisely because of this that they inevitably had something deep in their hearts.
I'm a bit murmuring, is this true, or is it an exaggeration...
"Randolph Carter, I remember him." Elder Atal, who had been silent for a long time, said in surprise to everyone and some cats.
Atal's old wrinkled face, which showed no age, had a look of memories, "At that time, he got me drunk with Zuge's moon wine, and made me say a lot of things I shouldn't have said.
He is a very special person, and he indeed has extraordinary power."
It turns out that Carter didn't appear long enough to be thousands of years ago, and Atal, an old guy who lived hundreds of years, entertained Carter here.
After learning this situation, Gu Jun was greatly refreshed. With Atal's words, the authenticity of Carter was greatly enhanced.
There is also Sunset City, the Foundation, and their world can take a higher level of trust.
Moreover, Sunset City seems to be located in Dreamland?
"Heart for light, never despair!" Yu Chi was much more excited than Gu Jun. He was always like this. He also understood the significance of Atal's statement.
Their world needs that kind of help so much, someone they can truly trust without having to be wary and guarded, and they may even actually be fooled in the end.
This news is another huge gain from their trip.
But no matter how they talked, Atal kept silent. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, the old man sat still without eating or drinking.
The great elder only said that he didn’t know Carter any better than the Cat Clan, and he didn’t know what happened to Carter.
"Nyarlathotep is a big trouble." On the contrary, the old civet cat said, "But it has a wide range of interests, and time is different for this kind of existence. If you don't call it, it may find you again in time.
One year from now, maybe ten thousand years from now, or even one million years from now."
The old civet cat's beard tightened, "I heard from you that you called Shub-Niklas to fight against Chaos, and it finally shattered into pieces and floated away."
"Shub-Nicholas, it has super vitality and super reproductive power, but such power will cause distortion. Just like a moth cannot carry the vitality of a dog, neither can a person.
Far beyond the life force that humans can carry.”
"Because of your help today, our cat tribe will give you a good report. You must be prepared. A great change in mankind is coming."
The old civet cat spoke in a deep voice, and the other cats seemed to be more serious.
Gu Jun frowned slightly. In fact, before Lao Mao Shan sued, the two of them had already been mentally prepared for this.
"That should be different from the disasters you have faced in recent years..." The old civet cat said again, "Diseases and plagues destroy life. Shub-Nicholas does not destroy life. It reproduces life and evolves life. It's just
The heavy pressure that would bring would also be a disaster."
After saying this, the old civet cat stopped talking like Atal. On the one hand, his knowledge was limited, and on the other hand, talking too much would be unhelpful to the cat clan.
A hazy dark cloud about the future is already lingering in the hearts of Gu Jun, Yu Chi, Feng Peiqian and others.
Human civilization has just passed through a crisis of extinction, but human civilization is still drifting in the vast ocean of darkness.
As for Wu Shiyu, she doesn't want to think so much for the time being. Her mission is to get along with the cats and establish a good customer relationship. This job is suitable for her.
Anyway, we just lie down together, bask in the sun together, and smoke catnip together.
