Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 1: Memphis City


Back to the familiar place - this teahouse called past life and present life.

I can fully imagine Si Yin's reaction. He was extremely displeased with me for rescuing the girls without authorization and causing the Countess's castle to be breached early.

"Master, fortunately I went in time this time, otherwise we, Xiao Yin, would have become the bride of a vampire!" Asuka was still teasing me.

Si Yin glanced at me coldly, his eyes casually passed over the necklace on my chest, and frowned slightly, "This thing..."

I glanced down, and hurriedly pulled up the collar to cover the necklace. The ice-blue gemstones on the chain exuded a faint luster, just like Sanatesi's eyes under the moonlit night, and a trace of melancholy surged in his heart for no reason.

"Wouldn't that vampire send you?" Asuka added with a smile.

I didn't answer, but just clenched the gem tightly, and a cold feeling hit me, like the eternally cold temperature of Sanatesi.

"Take it off." Si Yin said coldly.

"No!" I shook my head, "I don't want to take it off. Master, no matter whether he is a vampire or not, other people's gifts should be cherished."

Si Yin's strange-colored eyes flashed an elusive look, he stood up and said, "Whatever you want." Then he left the room.

"Why is master always like that?" I vented my dissatisfaction on Asuka again.

"Actually, Master is doing it for your own good." Asuka said, she stood up, walked to the next room, opened the refrigerator, and took something.

"Master asked me to pick you up this time. He didn't say anything, but he was very worried in his heart, and he also gave me such an important magic weapon as the soul crossing lotus. His character is like this, and you It’s not that I don’t know.”

It turned out that Si Yin called Asuka over. Alas, it's true, although Si Yin is cold, but he was kind to me since childhood, so he must be worried about me. If there is no magic weapon, Asuka may not be able to retreat completely.

"When you were away, Master talked less, but I was rushed to pick you up by Master just after I came back from the time of King Arthur." Asuka shook his head reluctantly.

"King Arthur, is he handsome?" I was aroused a little curiosity again.

"It's okay, but not as handsome as me."

"Smelly."

"I'm telling the truth, except for Master, only your vampire groom can compete with me."

"Uh——" the corners of my mouth began to twitch again.

"That handsome vampire of yours might come to modern times to find you." A schadenfreude smile flashed across his face.

I didn't answer his words. I remembered what Sanatsi said when he was parting, and touched my lips unconsciously, feeling a strange feeling in my heart. Although he is a vampire, no matter what, he is the first man to kiss me, and the first man to say he loves me.

"But don't worry, you won't be afraid even if they come to you, this is our territory." He handed me a drink, and I was about to take it, but when I saw the color of the drink, my stomach churns and I retched.

"Take it away, take it away!"

"What's the matter, this is your favorite tomato juice."

"Take it away!"

"It's strange...why have you changed the taste again? Why don't you try strawberry juice? Or watermelon juice?"

"Quick - take - open -"

It seems that my sequelae will take some time to improve...

After dinner, I knocked on the door of Si Yin's room.

"What's the matter?" Si Yin seemed to be searching for something in front of the laptop.

"That, Master, thank you."

He seemed a little surprised, stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at me and said, "What?"

"Master, thank you for letting Asuka come here and save me." As I spoke, I brought him the freshly brewed Longjing tea and said with a smile, "Master, I brewed the tea myself. "

A trace of gentleness flashed in Si Yin's eyes, and he said: "There must be nothing good to be courteous about nothing." He pointed to his side and said, "Sit down."

"Master..."

"Huh?"

"I wonder if I'm really not suitable for this job, why every time I complete the task, not only do I not feel relaxed, but my heart feels heavier."

Si Yin looked at me thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "You in this life are really like her..." Although his voice was very soft, the last few words penetrated into my mouth in the ear. Really like her? who is she? A trace of doubt flashed through my mind.

"Your personality has been like this since you were a child. As Asuka said, you are too emotional. And I found that you seem to be more and more likely to fall into the people and things around you." Follow my words.

"But people are not grass and trees, Xiaozheng, the general manager, including Sanatsi, they all appeared in front of me alive, they are no longer boring words in books, but people with feelings and flesh and blood. There is really no way to be indifferent." I picked up the tea and drank it depressed.

"Well, after a while, let's go abroad to relax, where do you want to go?" He patted my shoulder lightly, with a rare gentleness in his tone.

"I don't know." I don't seem to have a particular place I want to go, just the places where these tasks go are enough to toss.

"By the way, master, everyone has his past life, what about my past life?" I couldn't help asking this question that I've always wanted to know.

Si Yin's expression changed a little, and then he immediately returned to his normal color, saying: "It's nothing special, okay, you go out, I still have things to do."

"Okay then, Master, you should go to bed early." I stood up, and just as I walked to the door, I heard Si Yin say: "Wait a minute."

I turned around, and a faint smile flashed in Si Yin's eyes, and he said, "After you go out, will you make me another cup of tea?"

"But, I just already..." I accidentally saw the teacup that I drank up all the time, I couldn't help laughing twice, and said, "Okay..."

Closing the door, I couldn't help feeling a little doubt in my heart, why Si Yin didn't seem to want to talk about my past life?

A few weeks later, a new client arrives.

It is a middle-aged woman and a six or seven-year-old child.

In my memory, this seems to be the first time two people came together. But looking at the child's appearance, it seems that there is nothing unusual. It was probably this middle-aged woman who dreamed about our past and present teahouse.

After she sat down, she became emotional and spoke incoherently. It took a lot of effort before I could understand the general idea of ​​the matter from her intermittent narration. It turned out that the little boy had been afraid of birds since he was a child. No matter what kind of bird came close to him, he would cry and make a fuss. Now the situation seems to be getting more and more serious, as long as he hears the sound of birds, he will feel nervous all over.

What's even more strange is that every time he sees a large bird, his eyes will ache.

I glanced at the little boy, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a hint of maturity on his face that didn't match his age at all. Afraid of birds? In other words, his previous life had something to do with birds.

Si Yin put his index finger on his forehead as usual, and saw strange characters appearing where the white light gathered, which were hieroglyphics.

My heart became inexplicably excited. There is only one country with these mysterious hieroglyphs—the ancient ancient Egypt.

"His fate originated from ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. In that life, he was a priest named Fekti. The Pharaoh ordered the death penalty. He was stripped naked, **** and exposed to the sun in the desert, and when he was dying, the eagles flying from the sky pecked his eyes blind and tore his skin."

Si Yin's face was calm, but the middle-aged woman's expression had already changed, and she kept begging Si Yin to help her son. Si Yin expressionlessly repeated what he had said to the client before, and the woman left with her son gratefully.

"That pharaoh is so cruel." I shook my head and said.

"Is it cruel? This is normal. No man will forgive the behavior of meddling with his own wife." Si Yin said indifferently, an elusive look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"So this time I'm going to Egypt?" Pharaohs and ancient Egypt have always been synonymous with mystery, and more importantly, Egypt, as an important birthplace of ancient witchcraft, is even more attractive to me.

Si Yin looked at me and said, "That's right, I'll send Asuka off in a few days."

"Asuka? No more, master, let me go." I tugged at his sleeve and said, "Asuka has already been to Babylon, let me go to Egypt this time."

An angry and funny look flashed in Si Yin's eyes, "Do you think it's a trip?"

"Let me go, master, I promise, I will never get involved with anyone again, I will never meddle in other people's business, I will never..."

"Okay, okay, you can go." Si Yin said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Master, you trust me." My mood became a little excited.

Si Yin looked at me helplessly and said, "Be careful, I won't let Asuka pick you up this time." He paused and said, "I will send you to 1276 B.C. Memphis, the capital of the Egyptian king, you should prepare what you should bring.”

1276 BC? My mind was racing fast, remembering which pharaoh was supposed to be in power.

"It should be the fourth year after Ramses II ascended the throne." Si Yin seemed to see what I was thinking.

"Ra- Ramses II?" My tongue was a little knotted with excitement. The pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt is one of the most famous emperors in ancient history. The name Ramses II is synonymous with the glory of the Egyptian dynasty.

"In this way, it's enough to stop Fekti's rude behavior? It's easy." I smiled.

"But you have to remember, if you fail to stop Fecti, then you have to stop Ramses II." The corner of Si Yin's mouth slightly raised a very shallow arc, "I think, stop Ramses is not an easy task."

"Uh——" a majestic and vicious Great-Pharaoh immediately appeared in my mind, "No, no, I will definitely mercilessly nip it out when there is a small sign."

Based on the previous experience, this time I carefully checked the things I brought, spells, favorite chocolates, sunglasses and sunscreen, and carefully put them in my shoulder bag. I was laughed at by Asuka, as if I was really going on a trip.

After everything was ready, I immediately embarked on the journey to ancient Egypt.

What kind of passers-by will you meet on this trip?

After waking up, I kept my eyes closed and lay quietly on the spot. I heard the sound of the river flowing, the wings of waterfowl beating the water, and the joyful singing of people. A gust of dry heat blows in with fresh earth and fresh grass.

Is this the air from more than three thousand years ago? Is this the banks of the Nile?

When I opened my eyes with anxiety, I looked up and saw a blue sky. The blue is so pure, there are a few wisps of catkin-like white clouds drifting past.

I stood up slowly and looked up, the sun rose on the horizon, and the land was far away and empty in the morning mist. The Nile River, which brought eternal life to Egypt, shone brightly under the golden sun, and the dark green water was rippling. Both sides of the river were covered with verdant green papyrus with triangular shapes and stem tops spreading into umbrella shapes.

There was a burst of excitement in my heart for no reason, the birthplace of ancient civilization more than 3,000 years ago, at this moment, it is here, right in front of my eyes.

The city of Memphis is much bigger than I imagined. Tall date palm trees and palm trees are planted along both sides of the street. People of different skin colors and clothes walk on the street. Libyans, Nubians, Canaanites, Amuru, Cretans, Cypriots People... Different voices, different words, with a strange style. Merchants peddled their wares with smiles on their faces, including oriental fabrics, Hittite honey, Cretan pottery, and Lebanese glass bottles.

In the city of Memphis, there seems to be no distinction between the rich and the poor. Under the tall buildings are huts built of dry bricks, and in the alleys next to the wide and beautiful garden villas, you can also see The noisy scene of people and animals coming and going. Camels and donkeys carrying heavy loads are the most common livestock here, and the city is full of cursing, bargaining and laughter.

Although I am full of curiosity about everything in front of me, I still haven't forgotten the purpose of this trip. Priest Fekti, I need to know where he is.
