Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 2: Ramses
I was planning to find someone to ask, but I saw a lot of noise not far away, as if someone was arguing. Curiosity prompted me to go there. Through the gaps in the crowd, I saw a six or seven-year-old Egyptian boy lying on the ground, covered in blood. Although he was in a state of distress, his **** eyes stared at him without fear. Looking at the man who beat him, a fat middle-aged man dressed in rich Egyptian nobleman's attire.
"Excuse me, what's going on here?" I turned my head and asked a woman beside me, the Jieyu Pill really had a miraculous effect, and my ancient Egyptian was so fluent.
"It's so pitiful, that boy accidentally trampled Lord Uther's pet cat to death, and Lord Uther said he would beat him to death." The woman shook her head and said.
From ancient times to the present, there are such people everywhere, and I can't help being a little annoyed. In the eyes of these nobles, a cat is far more precious than a slave.
"Stop!"
Seeing that the little boy was dying, I couldn't help but let out a loud drink, and I forgot the promise I made before to not meddle in other people's business. The man named Uther looked at me in surprise, then said arrogantly: "Foreigner, do you know who you are talking to?"
"Didn't you hear clearly, I said stop!" I stepped forward and said.
"Are you crazy? Catch me!" Uther waved his hand, and immediately several people dressed as attendants walked over to me, reaching out to grab me. I secretly smiled, can you catch me?
There was a bang, and those attendants were all bounced away by my barrier. All of a sudden, the people around were shocked, and Uther's brown face seemed to have been punched.
"You, who are you?" He took a step back in panic.
I took another step forward and said, "Let that boy go, he just trampled a cat to death."
Uther looked a little scared, but he still insisted: "The cat was given to me by the king, and now it was trampled to death by this **** slave. Can't I kill him?"
"It's the cat after all, so it's okay to pay you one, right?" I glanced at the kitten that was trampled to death in the corner, black, yellow eyes, brown spots on the body. stripe.
"Compensation?" He looked shocked, then looked at me contemptuously and said, "It's up to you?"
"It's up to me." I smiled slightly, took out the talisman, and recited the incantation silently. A green light flashed, and the talisman turned into a little black cat exactly like the original one.
Although Si Yin said not to use spells casually, this is Egypt. If I had done this in medieval Europe, I would have been immediately arrested as a witch, but here, everyone would only be surprised and awed, and maybe it would be easier to attract the attention of the priests.
Sure enough, I heard the sound of air-conditioning and people whispering.
"My God, did you see that alien girl, she turned into a cat!"
"It's unbelievable that she can turn into a cat."
"It's amazing, is she the messenger sent by the cat **** Best..."
I couldn't help feeling a little complacent. Since time-traveling, she has always played roles like maids and maids. Finally, I feel a little proud here. Knowing spells is really good.
Looking at that Uther again, he was already there in a daze, staring straight at the black cat in front of him.
I bent down to help the little boy up, and said softly: "Are you okay?" He looked at me with eyes full of worship, and whispered: "Are you sent by the cat **** to save me?"
I shook my head with a smile and said, "It's okay, you can go home quickly."
He gave me a grateful smile and struggled to limp away.
I also stood up, walked past Uther who was still in a daze, and couldn't help but secretly smile.
"Wait a minute, the alien girl over there." A deep voice sounded beside me. I followed the reputation, and under a tall palm tree not far from me, I don’t know when a rectangular soft sedan was parked. Two strong Nubian slaves were standing on both sides, and a close-fitting slave stood behind him. A person dressed as a servant. Under the rolled up white curtain in the sedan chair, sat a man dressed as an Egyptian aristocrat. He was wearing a starched and straight white linen official uniform, and a small statue of Maat was hung around his neck.
Judging from his age, he is about twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, but his complexion is rare among Egyptians. He has a handsome face with soft and heroic lines, and a pair of brown eyes are watching gently with me.
"Are you calling me?" I nodded to myself.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, "It's you."
I looked at him, he looked like a high-ranking nobleman, who might know Fecti's whereabouts.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
He didn't speak, but pointed to the alley in front of him, "Go there, I have something to ask you."
I hesitated and nodded. I don't want to let go of this opportunity to find out about Fekti's whereabouts.
"What country are you from? I've never seen your clothes before." He pointed to my jeans and T-shirt.
"The East, the East that is more east than India." I guess he didn't understand China.
"Did you use your country's witchcraft just now?" He didn't delve into it, and seemed more interested in my spells.
"That's right. Who are you?" I also want to confirm the identity of the man in front of me.
He smiled again and said, "My name is Asher, and I am the prime minister here."
Prime Minister? My eyes widened, the young man in front of me was actually the prime minister! All along, the image of a prime minister with gray hair and a goatee on his chin has always been in his impression. It seems that luck is not so good this time, if he met the Prime Minister of Egypt, he must know Fekti's whereabouts.
"Your witchcraft is very special, I would like to ask you to do me a favor." He paused, "Help me save someone."
"Saving someone?" I was a little surprised.
"A person under black magic."
"Who?"
"You don't need to know who it is, but I think your witchcraft might be able to save her." There seemed to be something hidden behind the smile on his face.
I was hesitating when I suddenly heard the attendant next to him whisper: "My lord, can this be done? If the High Priest Fekti knows..." Asher immediately interrupted the latter words, but I was already clear Hearing the name "Fekti", he was overjoyed for a moment, and nodded without thinking too much: "Okay!"
It doesn't take much effort to get here. If everything goes well, I think I will be able to find Fekti soon...
Asher smiled at me and said, "Then, follow me first."
This prime minister has no airs, and I didn't find a place to stay tonight. There just happened to be such a free hotel, and I couldn't stay for nothing.
The residence of the prime minister is really not ordinary beautiful. White exterior walls, tall and slender pillars, door lintels decorated with palm leaves, marigolds are planted at the door of the house, and golden petals fall on the ground, like a gorgeous carpet. The maids holding lotus flowers came slowly, and their curvaceous figures were set off more gracefully by the traditional Egyptian corset dress called Calathes.
Asher pointed to a maid beside me and said to me: "This is Nelly, she will take you to your room, you should rest first."
I took a look at the maid, she has brown skin, black eyes, youthful and fit, very attractive, I couldn't help smiling at her, she was taken aback, then smiled shyly.
"Well, can I take a shower?"
"Okay, let Nelly take you there." Asher nodded and walked inside.
I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I never imagined that the bathroom equipment in ancient Egypt was so advanced. On both sides of the limestone floor laid at right angles, there is a long brick chair, and the outer layer of the brick wall is covered with limestone blocks to prevent the bricks from getting wet. In addition, the ground is slightly sloped, allowing water to flow down to the drain mouth, and then discharged through the earthen pipes buried deep in the ground.
I pointed to the bench and said, "Nellie, what is this for?"
She smiled and said, "If you want a shower, I can stand on a chair and flush it for you."
So that's what it does, but I'm not used to having someone by my side when I take a shower. I pointed to a granite tub next to me and said, "No, no, I'll take a bath here." Soaking in the warm water makes me feel comfortable, and it's really nice to have this kind of treatment here. When Asuka was in Babylon There is no such enjoyment.
After taking a shower, I also changed into Calathes. Nelly said enviously: "Why is your skin so white and soft." I took a look at her plump figure and thought to myself, I have already lost in terms of figure, and it's not all about skin color to save face. When I went to eat in the courtyard, I felt the eyes of the maids were all on me, so I had a good time.
When Asher saw me, there was a faint light in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Calathis is very suitable for you."
"Thank you." I smiled at him happily and sat down.
Seeing the dishes in front of me, I couldn't help feeling a little bit more. All kinds of bread and vegetables, fish, beef, goose, and even cucumbers, a strong smell of spices hits my face, and I smell the familiar smells of pepper, cinnamon, and fennel. I didn't expect that there were such a complete range of spices in ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. God, compared with her, the European medieval dishes seem to be backwards by tens of thousands of years.
As I was eating, I suddenly realized that apart from the maids around me, Asher and I seemed to be the only ones eating. Where are his wives? Don't Egyptians marry early?
"What's the matter?" He took a sip of the wine with a glass in his hand.
"Why don't you see your wives?" I studied the ivory spoon in my hand.
"Ladies?" He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then laughed again and said, "I haven't married a wife yet."
"Haven't got a wife yet? I'm so disappointed. I thought I could see the spectacle of wives and concubines." I blurted out.
He laughed and drank the wine in his glass.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Yin." I took a sip of fig juice.
He nodded, and suddenly waved his hand, and all the maids around retreated knowingly. I knew that he was going to tell me about saving lives.
"I can only try my best, whether it will be effective or not, I can't guarantee it." Before he spoke, I had already spoken.
He smiled lightly and said, "Do you know who you want to save?"
I stared at him, his brown eyes were bottomless, without a trace of emotion, and his faint smile was just on the surface. I was too excited when I heard Fekti's name just now. Now that I think about it, this man must not be a simple person to sit on the position of Prime Minister of Egypt at such a young age. The people he wants to save must not be ordinary people. Many witchcraft in ancient Egypt were often used to curse and deal with members of the royal family. Could it be... my heart suddenly jumped, could it be...
"A person from the palace?" I whispered.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he regained his composure and said, "That's right, it's the current Queen Mother Tuya."
Sure enough, she is a member of the royal family, and she is actually the queen mother, but I still don't understand...
"Since she is the Queen Mother, don't the priests in the temple also have the ability to dispel her witchcraft?" I asked.
"Priest," his eyes became complicated, "it's because priests can't heal."
"How come, the queen mother is the mother of the king, how could they not heal?"
"That—it also depends on whether they have the intention to heal." His expression suddenly became a little strange.
Priest, could it be Fecter?
"Principal Fekti?" I blurted out.
His pupils shrank, and he said, "How do you know?"
"I overheard what the guard next to you said just now." Fortunately, his attendant showed some words just now.
"Tomorrow, I will take you into the palace." He stood up.
"But," I also stood up, "Why do you believe that I can undo the Queen Mother's black witchcraft?"
"Why?" He smiled back, "Because you are the messenger of the cat god."
The messenger of the cat god...
I was stunned there, even he thinks so? Or...
Forget it, I don't have time to think about it now, I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, maybe I can see Fekti, maybe I can see Ramses II, I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly...
As for that witchcraft, I just used it to verify my own ability... The witchcraft that has evolved for more than three thousand years should be - no problem, right?
When I saw the Pharaoh's palace, I suddenly felt that the prime minister's house was like a country bumpkin's house.
Beside the palace, the tall barn seems to rise into the clouds, surrounded by lush acacias and figs, the gates of the gorgeous houses are decorated with blue glazed tiles, and the whole palace shines with gold and turquoise of light.
Walking into the palace, the magnificent hall is decorated with tiles with yellow and brown bases and blue, red and black dots. In the palace of the king, there is a fence surrounded by a row of small columns, and each column is engraved with the name of the pharaoh. The surrounding walls are beautifully painted, the **** swimming women, the birds with fluttering wings, and the lush green fields are really pleasing to the eye.
Asher asked me to wait in the hall for a while, and then I went out of the hall by myself.
I looked around curiously, and several young maids were also looking at me curiously. I took a look at myself, and at Asher's request, I had changed into Calathes, and I wore my hair like them, but I used a purple hairpin and a small backpack that never left my body, as if Nothing surprising either.
I felt a little uncomfortable being watched by them, so I simply walked out of the hall. As soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw an open garden full of palms, figs, jujube trees, avocados, pomegranates and tamarisks. Walking along the road in the garden, a large blue pool appeared in front of my eyes. White lotus flowers unique to Egypt were blooming on the surface of the pool, and the fragrance of lotus flowers wafted in the wind.
It's so beautiful, the Pharaoh will indeed be blessed.
I sat down under the shade of a fig tree by the lotus pond, leaned against the big tree, closed my eyes and meditated.
"Boom!" Something knocked on my forehead suddenly, I opened my eyes, and a fig fell beside me, it turned out to be a fruit from heaven. I closed my eyes again. "Boom!" Again, what's going on? When I opened my eyes again, I found a six or seven-year-old boy standing in front of me with a flamboyant expression.
Needless to say, it must be this kid. Just as I was about to swear, I suddenly saw the hairstyle on the left side of his head, and immediately suppressed the words in my mouth. The lock of Horus is the unique hairstyle of an Egyptian prince. . Don't cause trouble when it is not necessary.
"Hey, get out of the way!" He said arrogantly, then turned to several people dressed as attendants and said, "Drain the water in this pond immediately, and pull out all these lotus flowers!"
Pull out such a beautiful lotus, is there any mistake!
"Why?" I jumped up.
"My amulet fell into the pond." He glanced at me.
"Just send someone to salvage it." I glared at him.
"It's up to you to say, it's been salvaged a long time ago, you slave, get out of the way for this prince, or I'll punish you!" His arrogance was not ordinary.
Little ghost, how dare you call me a slave, my eyelids started to twitch.
"Does that mean you won't pull out these lotus flowers after you find the amulet?" I pointed to the pond.
He seemed a little surprised, but immediately asked curiously: "Can you find it?"
"Well, dodge and go." I pointed back to make him step back, took out the spell, and after reciting the spell, the spell immediately turned into a big fish. I gently put it in the water, and whispered: "Go, get the amulet."
The fish wagged its tail, plunged headlong into the water, and came out of the water after a while, holding a gleaming golden scarab amulet in its mouth. I took the amulet and recited the mantra again, and the fish became a piece of paper again, floating in my hand.
Putting away the talisman paper, I handed the amulet to the dumbfounded little boy, and said, "Here, you won't pull out those lotus flowers now, you should appreciate such a beautiful thing, not Destroy it. Isn't it good to let them live there freely?"
The little prince looked at me half-understood, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
"Who are you?" A clear and dignified voice came from behind me.
I turned my head, only to feel dizzy in front of my eyes. The young man in front of me seemed to be shining like the sun. With thick black hair and long eyebrows slanted into the temples, a pair of obsidian-like dark eyes are looking at me domineeringly and curiously. He only wore a short gold-encrusted waistcoat, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin, and his body was as slender and strong as a palm tree. The amulet of the Eye of Horus carved from turquoise, malachite and gold, like the shimmering golden Nile water, is placed on the neck, and the wrist and upper arm are just right to press the scarab's armband.
For the first time in my life, I saw such a dazzling man...
