Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 3: The Queen Mother

Looking at his attire, I think no matter how stupid I am, I can guess who is coming. The little boy's cry confirmed my guess: "Father!"

"You are not Egyptian." He stared at me, and the aura radiating from his body oppressed me. I felt a burst of invisible pressure, but also a little faint excitement. Ramses, the son of the sun **** Amon, is this the legendary King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Ramses the Great? Sure enough, handsome is not a word to describe...

"Father, this rude slave bullied me!" The boy's words almost choked me, when did I bully him. I gave him a hard look, and a vengeful smile appeared on his face.

"Quickly answer, who are you?" A sharp look flashed in Ramses' eyes.

"I'm not an Egyptian, Prime Minister Asher brought me here." I looked at him and said, excited, don't be overwhelmed by his momentum.

He slightly raised his eyebrows, "Prime Minister Asher?"

He was about to ask another question when a group of people came in a hurry, and seeing that the leader was Asher, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I was invited to dispel the black witchcraft for the Queen Mother." Asher saw that Ramses and I had met, and hurried forward to explain.

"My lord, how could the empress dowager's noble body allow a foreign woman of unknown origin to come for treatment, in case something happened. Her hundred humble lives can't make up for it." The man who was 10 years old had a handsome appearance, but he had a bald head, and his words were not pleasant to his ears. I glanced at him, intending to ignore him.

"Principal Fekti, she is not an ordinary woman, she is the messenger of the Cat God." A strange smile appeared on Asher's face. When I heard this name, I couldn't help being surprised, what? The man in front of me is Fekti, alas, I can't ignore it now.

"The messenger of the cat god?" Fketty seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

"That's right, Wang, I saw with my own eyes that she can conjure black cats at will, it's absolutely true." What, conjuring a cat is the messenger of the cat god? Well, what about turning into a toad?

"Even if she can turn into a cat, it doesn't mean she is a cat's messenger, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Fekti still strongly objected.

"Then let her conjure it up on the spot." Asher didn't give in at all.

"Okay." Ramses frowned slightly, "I saw it just now, let her try, but—" he changed his tone, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and said, "If something happens Whatever the problem, I will never let it go lightly, including you, my prime minister."

"There will never be any problems!" I stepped forward and stared into his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across his black eyes very quickly, but he didn't speak again.

The bedroom of Queen Mother Tuya is also very spacious. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a solid ebony bed with the feet carved into the shape of lion claws. It has the cheerful face of Best, the cat **** who makes people have good dreams after falling asleep.

I suddenly understood why Asher called me the messenger of the Cat God.

I walked to the bed and looked into the bed. The Queen Mother Tuya is indeed a beauty. The years have not left many marks on her face, but it has added a bit of mature charm to her. It's just that this beautiful body seems to be enduring great torture now. I put my hand on her forehead lightly, feeling the unstable body temperature that fluctuates from hot to cold, and then looked carefully at her face, there was a faint layer of black air. I gently lifted the upper eyelid of her left eye, and a bright red appeared in her eyelid. Sure enough, he was under black magic. I was relieved for a while, fortunately, I had learned how to break this witchcraft before.

"Someone planted black witchcraft on the Queen Mother in this palace. If I guessed correctly, it should be witchcraft under white wax." I said slowly.

Rameses' complexion changed, and he said angrily, "Who is so bold?"

"Then, can we find out the location of this witch?" Asher seemed much calmer.

"I'll try, give me some white wax." I took out the talisman and recited it silently for a while, and the talisman turned into a black cat again. I smelled the wax I brought and said, "Go, Go find that person."

"Just send someone to follow it." I pointed to the cat path that ran out.

"Don't follow!" Ramses yelled at the guards around him.

Not long after, I saw two guards dragging a young maid over. The maid's face was pale, obviously frightened.

"My lord, this is what I found from her." A guard stepped forward and respectfully handed the white thing to Ramses, who immediately gave it to me.

I saw that it was indeed a piece of white wax carved in the shape of the Queen Mother, and the name of the Queen Mother was written on it, which has already been cursed. I made mudras with both hands, and stuck the spell on the white wax, and saw that the white wax gradually disappeared into the spell under a cloud of green light. I picked up the talisman and recited a few more incantations silently. The talisman burned with a bang and immediately turned to ashes.

At this moment, hearing the Queen Mother groaning softly, Ramses rushed over and said repeatedly: "Queen Mother, how are you? How are you?"

The queen mother slowly opened her eyes, and said softly, "Is it the king? I seem to feel a lot better all of a sudden."

Rameses did not hide his joy, and said to Asher: "Prime Minister, thanks to you this time, I will reward you well!" He turned his head to look at me again and said, "And you, foreign race woman, I will reward you too!"

Asher smiled slightly and said, "My lord, don't you believe it? She is not an ordinary woman. She is the messenger of the cat god. That's why she was able to lift the spell on the Queen Mother. She must have been specially sent by the cat god." Rescue the Queen Mother."

When the queen mother heard this, she looked at me and said with a smile, "Come here, the cat god's messenger."

I hesitated for a while, but Ramses suddenly raised his eyes and glared at me, and my legs immediately walked over uncontrollably.

"So you are the messenger of the Cat God..." The Queen Mother gently took my hand.

"What reward do you want?" Ramses glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.

"I—" I glanced at Fekti who was standing aside, his expression was a little strange, and he glanced at the captured maid, "I want to work in the temple!" No way , maybe only in this way can the task be successfully completed.

Rameses seemed a little surprised by my answer.

"Wang, since she is the messenger of the cat god, it is most appropriate for her to work in the temple. Priest Fekti, what do you think? She can destroy the black witch that you can't solve surgery." Asher's smile remained the same.

Fecti didn't speak, but his face was full of displeasure.

"In that case, go to the temple to work." Ramses nodded.

"So, king, this maid?" The attendant next to him asked.

A cold look flashed across Ramses' handsome face, and he asked, "Where is she a maid?"

"My lord, this maid is from the queen's palace."

"What? Nefertari?" Ramses frowned.

At this moment, there were noisy footsteps outside, accompanied by a shout of "The Queen is coming", and a beautiful woman came slowly. The transparent linen clothing tightly wraps her body, layer after layer, very provocative and alluring. The dark green eye shadow drawn all the way to her ears makes her eyes more graceful, and the red ocher powder depicts Touching her **** and plump lips, the rich fragrance immediately filled the whole room.

I stared at this woman without blinking, is this Nefertari? According to legend, the favorite woman of Ramses. She is indeed a great beauty!

I glanced at Fekti, and saw that his attention was all drawn to Nefertari, and Nefertari's eyes met his eyes quickly, and then moved away immediately .

"My lord, it's great to hear that the Queen Mother is awake!" She immediately walked towards Ramses, who had an elusive look in his eyes, and suddenly laughed, saying, "Indeed Great."

"Are you okay?" Nefertari asked the Queen Mother with a gentle face. The Queen Mother seemed aloof, and she didn't seem to like Nefertari very much.

"Dear Queen, the murderer who attempted to murder the Queen Mother has been captured, but this woman seems to be a maid in your palace." Asher smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"I'm also here for this matter. My maid would actually do such a thing. The king must punish her severely!" Nefertari's eyes flickered.

"But, queen, have you not noticed the abnormality of your maid?" Asher asked with a smile.

"Prime Minister, the queen has so many maids, how can she know the behavior of just one of them?" Fekti said suddenly.

"My lord, I don't know anything about her actions." Nefertari turned to the maid again and said, "Penny, how could you do such a thing? Your parents would be so sad if they knew."

The maid suddenly trembled all over, and said: "The king, the queen mother, it's all my fault, I, I...the queen doesn't even know about it."

I don't know if I read it wrong, but a strange light flashed in Nefertari's eyes. And Ramses has been silent, only the black eyes are bottomless.

"If that's the case..." Asher was about to say something more, but was interrupted mercilessly by Ramses.

"Okay, my queen will never do such a thing. If someone doubts Nefertari in the future, I will never forgive him." He paused and said, "As for this sinner, I declare Sentence her to death in the world and in the underworld. Her portrait and name will be drawn on paper, and then she will be sculpted into a small figure according to her dead appearance. In this way, she can truly disappear from the human world and the underworld."

The maid's face changed drastically. I was about to say something, but Asher stopped me with his eyes.

After watching it for a long time, I finally understand it. Asher and the queen mother seem to be on the same side, and the queen and the priest are on the same side, and they don't seem to like each other very well. As for Asher's approval of me entering the temple to work, there must be his purpose. The troublesome relationship in the court seems to be difficult for everyone. I think I should go to my temple, complete the task early, and leave here early.

Asher seems to be satisfied with my performance, so I naturally live in his home temporarily.

I can go to the temple to work tomorrow, I thought, and picked up a reed-the toothbrush here, dipped in a little bit of Egyptian toothpaste, a paste mixed with rock salt, dried iris flowers, mint and pepper things. I have to sigh again for the ingenuity of the Egyptians, which is really a bit like modern toothpaste. After brushing her teeth, Nelly delivered a mouthwash made of alum and dill in time. After using it, her mouth was full of fragrance.

After taking a bath and lying comfortably on the bed, Nelly took out a box. The shape of the box was a naked swimming girl pushing a duck with both hands. The hollow body of the duck was the container. The wings of the son are equipped with movable organs. What was in the box was a jasmine-scented ointment. She put a little bit of it on my body and massaged me.

It's a life like a fairy, it's really the right time to come to Egypt this time!

"Miss Yin, your necklace is so beautiful." She said softly.

I touched the necklace on my chest, and the blue gem was cold. I still wear it when I come to Egypt this time, I don’t know why, maybe only in this way, I will feel better in my heart.

"Is it from Miss Yin's lover?" She didn't hold back.

"——No." I said in a low voice, and suddenly there was a trace of melancholy in my heart.

When Nelly wanted to apply a face cream mixed with honey, red natural soda and northern salt for me, I refused without hesitation, honey, I am afraid that the messy reptiles will harass me in the middle of the night s face.

"Thank you tonight, Nelly, and you should go to bed earlier." I smiled at her.

Seeing her leave the room, I thought wildly on the bed for a while, and fell asleep in the gust of night wind.

The next day, when I stood in front of the temple, I was shocked by the sight again.

Outside the temple, among the sphinxes protecting the temple, there are luxuriant willows. The huge and thick stone walls of the temple are dyed in warm tones, and the bronze on the gate is also shining with dazzling light.

Different from the later Greek temples, the Egyptian temples are mysterious and introverted, and nothing can be seen from the outside; while the Greek temples are all on the hills, shining light outward, with open space, and each pillar comes from all sides wind. These are completely different times.

The ancient Egyptians seem to prefer blocking layers.

Walking into the temple, the 100-meter-deep lobby is lined with more than 100 giant columns, which almost occupy the entire space, leaving only the labyrinth of alleys intertwined between the columns. The rising sun is climbing through the tall tower gate, dyeing red more than a hundred large lotus columns in the hall, and projecting on the majestic and magnificent temple. Gradually, the sunlight moved to the neatly arranged heads of sphinxes and rams, which were one of the incarnations of God Amon. Under each head of sphinxes and rams stood a little pharaoh, receiving the blessing of the gods.

Looking up, I suddenly felt that I was so small. I suddenly understood why the ancient Egyptians built such exaggerated temples, because human beings who are prone to conceit can only fear the gods when they feel their own insignificance.

In the temple, I was assigned to do some simple paperwork and organize the files, which was quite easy. These picture-like hieroglyphs seem to me as easy as reading Chinese. Alas, it would be nice to have this ability in modern times.

The high priest Fekti seems to dislike my coming very much, and has always been extremely indifferent to me. I'm not surprised by this situation. Now I just hope that I can complete the task sooner and go back sooner. This time, I will definitely not have any more relationship with the characters in history.

After dinner this evening, I was enjoying grapes and sycamore figs leisurely in my room, when I looked up and saw Asher leaning against the door, as if I had something to say.

"What's the matter?" I put another grape in my mouth.

He smiled slightly and said, "You seem to like the life here." He walked in while talking, and said, "Is the work in the temple going well?"

I nodded and said, "Everything is fine, but Priest Fekti doesn't seem to like my arrival very much."

He smiled as expected and said, "Other than Nefertari, you are the second woman in this temple. Fekti has always disliked women meddling in the affairs of the temple."

Oh, I also heard before that Nefertari married Ramses as a concubine. This kind of concubine system was very common in ancient Egypt. Not all concubines were queens. Existed as the earthly representation of God's divine consort. The dynasty of Ramses the Great was a soldier and had no theocratic status. He married the concubine of the sun **** Amon, who is also the wife of the **** Amon, so he can exist as the representative of the **** Amon on the ground. , consolidated his theocracy.

But I think Ramses also loves this wife very much, otherwise why would he build a temple for her in the future.

"Then Priest Fekti doesn't like Nefertari very much?" I want to hear more from him.

There seemed to be an elusive look in his eyes, and he smiled again: "Maybe."

I understand a little bit again. Nefertari met Fekti when she was a concubine in this temple, so Fekti fell in love with her at that time, maybe it was a secret love, maybe Nefertari also...

Who knows?

"By the way, the Queen Mother asked you to enter the palace to accompany her tomorrow." He looked at me and said.

"Huh?" Since the last time, the Queen Mother has often let me into the palace to chat with her, and she is very kind to me. However, I really feel very boring.

"You don't want to go?"

"If you don't want to go, you have to go, you will definitely say this."

"Oh? You know?"

"These words are written all over your face." I glared at him angrily.

He suddenly smiled inscrutablely, and said: "For you, this may be a very lucky thing."

I was a bit tired talking with him, so I made a gesture of invitation and said, "In this case, I'm going to rest early."

He smiled lightly, turned and walked out.

Tomorrow will be another boring day.
