Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 532: Funeral
"Brother, no, no!" Helen woke up and threw himself on the corpse, crying, "Is this God's punishment for me?"
Seeing the two brothers lying peacefully on the deck, not wet their clothes all over, as if they were asleep, Helen remembered the two brothers' old voices and smiles, and tears couldn't stop "pattering" down.
How carefree the brothers and sisters used to be together in the past, I can't think of seeing them now.
"Helen, stop crying, let us bury them well, I believe they don't want you to be so sad!" Pei Ziyun said, but in his heart-you don't know that your brother is chasing us, you There must be nothing wrong, I'm in danger.
Don't say you can't beat them, even if you can kill these two people while the storm is exhausting, you will have to face the curse of Zeus.
Gods can kill the sons of gods, and mortals kill the sons of Zeus, and none of them will end well!
"According to the Greek tradition, the result of this curse must be that one day I fell asleep. Helen gave me a knife to avenge the killing of my two brothers."
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but shudder. The story of Merle Agros and the wild boar is too clear-the Greek gods like this routine of loving and killing each other.
This fun is really speechless.
Helen didn’t know Pei Ziyun’s thoughts, so she threw herself into Pei Ziyun’s arms and cried bitterly: "Paris, I only have you now..."
"Don't worry, I will protect you and will not abandon you!" Pei Ziyun patted Helen on the back and said.
"Paris, brother's funeral, everything depends on you." Helen's eyes were red, and the ancient Greeks thought that without a funeral, they would not be able to cross the Styx.
"Helen, even if it’s not for your sake, I have admired the two heroes for a long time." Pei Ziyun said, thinking in his heart—Castor and Polydius are the sons of Zeus, even if they become gods Now, even Hercules has doubts about becoming a god, let alone these two?
Presumably not sticking to ordinary funerals.
But giving a funeral is a virtue. Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun called to Gusnier and Koselia: "You have taken sesame oil, and you have prepared two sets of clothes for the two heroes."
"Also, you go to the island to prepare a pile of firewood, and two piles, and build a tomb, the tomb must be built better."
"By the way, we will build a small altar nearby. We want to worship the great Zeus. Please take care of the ghosts of the two heroes."
"Okay, Prince Paris." Everyone responded.
Pei Ziyun took out the sesame oil, applied it inch by inch on the corpses, and put on clothes for them. They looked radiant, as they were before. Helen cried and fell on the deck after seeing this.
Hundreds of people did it. There was not much time. The pyre on the island was ready and the tomb was repaired.
"Helen, come, let us send the two heroes a ride." After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he called in slaves to carry the corpses of Castor and Polly Duchess down.
Two large firewood piles were built in the open area of the island, and a large wooden bed was spliced with wood on the firewood pile, and two corpses were placed on the wooden bed.
Next to the pyre is a small altar. The altar is round and has a one-meter pedestal on which is placed a small statue of Zeus.
Pei Ziyun ordered his servant to bring a ram, bound it and put it on the altar. The surrounding soldiers and slaves knelt down and prayed to Zeus.
After praying, the priests with the army divide the sacrifices.
Pei Ziyun said to Castor and Polydius on the pyre: "Castor and Polydius, I hope your souls will rest in peace, I will treat Helen kindly, please rest assured !"
After finishing speaking, he raised his hands up and prayed to the statue of Zeus: "Zeus, the great king of the gods, your sons Castor and Polluteus have been shipwrecked. At this time, I will hold a funeral. I hope you Take care of me, and hope you will continue to protect me."
After the sacrifice, cremation is held in front of the pyre.
Everyone cherished the memory of the two heroes Castor and Polly Duchess, bowed and saluted, and the torch lightly lit the pyre. After a while, the raging fire swallowed the bodies of the two heroes.
Originally, cremation of the corpse would give off a very uncomfortable smell, but it may be because of the application of sesame oil, or the reason why the two corpses are heroes in front of them. When the corpses are burned, there is no strange smell, but a light smell .
It didn’t take long. The corpse and the pyre burned only a pile of ashes. The servant divided the ashes into two parts, put the two ashes in two boxes, and buried them in the tomb. Pei Ziyun was also very considerate. There are ten gold coins in each box, which are for them to cross the Styx.
Due to time and material constraints, the tombs are not magnificent, but they are all piled with stones.
Helen watched the two elder brothers' ashes were buried in the grave, tears rushing down uncontrollably.
"My dear, why are you crying? Maybe the two heroes were just taken back to Olympus by their father."
"Paris, you don't have to bother to comfort me, you have done your virtues, I just think that I will never see two brothers again, and I feel uncomfortable."
"Helen, I feel the same for your discomfort, but if the two heroes see you now, they may be equally unhappy." Pei Ziyun said, but she was thinking in her heart.
"Castor and Polydius are dead, and they are still sons of Zeus. They can't escape. Is this the fate of heroes?"
"No, I must break through this destiny."
The ashes of the two heroes were buried, and everyone began to cremate ordinary sailors and soldiers. This was relatively simple, and the tombs were just ordinary mounds.
However, although the funeral ceremony is simple, it is not lacking in solemnity.
Funeral preparations, everyone packed their things and returned to the ship.
Pei Ziyun also took Helen back to the battleship. Seeing that everyone was ready, he gave the order: "Set sail and go to Troy."
A fleet slowly sailed out of the harbor and headed for Troy.
The sky was gloomy, the fog was thick, and there was a faint cry of crying, which made the scalp numb. Looking closely, gray shadows appeared in the fog.
"This is the realm of Hades, are we dead?" Castor and Polly Duchess looked at all this in despair, and gradually woke up.
In order to catch up with their sister quickly, the two sailed quickly. The sky was still clear in the morning, and they observed the sky, not like there was a storm, but then there was a storm.
In the fog, more and more phantoms appeared, all ghosts, they looked a little familiar, they seemed to be soldiers following him, and the dense fog seemed to hide terrible malice, sighing and crying everywhere. With a shrill cry, the two couldn't help becoming nervous.
The two raised their eyes again and saw a little further away. Many ghosts gathered on the bank of a large river, eager to cross the river. One person drove a flat boat to face each other, and just saw it and felt it: "Ka Rong?"
Charon shouted: "Look, who did I see? Great Son of Zeus, you are unlucky. I am going to cross you across the river."
"However, even if you are the son of Zeus, the rules are still rules. You can only cross the river by giving silver coins, or you have to stay here for a year!"
"No, you can take them there, but for these two, the great Zeus has an arrangement. There is no need to cross the Styx to reach the realm of Hades." At this moment, a golden light burst Falling down, just listen to the "boom", and a goddess falls down.
Different from the goddess she saw when she was alive, Athena is now shining golden light all over her body, making people afraid to stare.
"Oh, does Zeus want to intervene in the realm of Hades again?" Charon took a step back.
"Castor and Polydius have never crossed the Styx, and they are not the people of Hades, and the great Zeus, even in the Hades, has this wayward authority. "Athena replied, clutching the souls of Castor and Polluteus, just flying away.
It seemed that in a blink of an eye, I broke through a certain space and saw a great sacred mountain. The whole thing was shining brightly, but it only flew to the foot of Mount Olympus and did not go up the mountain.
"Only gods are qualified to go up the mountain. Your place of residence is under the sacred mountain." Athena said, knocking at the foot of the mountain, and a hole was opened at the foot of the mountain. Athena led the way in, Castor and Polluteus glanced at each other and walked in.
It turns out that the underground mentioned by Athena is the underground of Mount Olympus, and my brothers can also accept it.
After entering, I found that the bottom of the mountain was not dark, and there was a faint light. There was a different world, the underground was huge, and there were many mansions.
Athena led Castor and Polyduce into an exquisite mansion.
Everything inside, Castor and Polydius looked satisfied. At this moment, Athena was taken aback, and gently tapped against the wall. The wall rippled, and the picture gradually appeared. ~IndoMTL.com~ The picture shows the situation on Liesberg Island. The corpses of two legendary heroes were salvaged in Pei Ziyun, and the whole process from cremation and burial to the grave, the two looked intently, with complex expressions.
They were sons of Zeus. In fact, the two knew that it was God's will to let themselves die, and Paris was not responsible, but they died because of Pei Ziyun, and they felt a little bit resentful in their hearts.
"I hope Paris will treat Helen well."
Mount Olympus·Top
Zeus drank the wine and watched all the actions on Liesberg Island. He was very satisfied with Pei Ziyun's actions. When Pei Ziyun made sacrifices, he took the sacrifices easily.
"Paris, because of your actions today, someone will bury you again in the future."
Troy
Lesburg Island on the coast of Troy, not far from Troy, the Pei Ziyun fleet arrived in Troy that day, and the lookout sent a signal to guide the port.
Pei Ziyun issued an order: "Attention all, prepare to drop anchor!"
The crew immediately acted as ordered. Some lowered sails, some took ropes, and some took anchors. Pei Ziyun looked around and saw that the order had been executed quickly, and turned his face to Gesnier. Writing: "Gosne, you go and tell my father, King Priam, the news of my return and Helen in advance."
"Coselia, you go to my mansion and tell me the news of my return and Helen's affairs."
"There is no need to conceal anything. As long as it is a fact, you can answer whatever Onone asks, tell her, I will report to the king next time, and I will be back later."
"Yes!" Both of them were a little surprised. They stepped back and looked at their figures. Pei Ziyun continued to dispatch the fleet and arrange things, but thought in his heart: "Those people who don’t know Troy know that I really brought you from Greece. What do you think of returning to a woman? The oracle says that if I bring back a woman from Greece, Troy will be destroyed."
