Chapter 711: Chapter 711 One day we will all come back
Translator: Doggotranslation
It was difficult to distinguish directions in the dark; even going to Wu Yi Mountain would take Chu Yunsheng a lot of effort, let alone going to Egypt.
The straight-line distance from the hidden small mountain village to Cairo, Egypt was about 8,000 kilometers. As long as there was a slight difference, they would probably fly to Somalia or Rome instead.
Fortunately, Old Youling was prepared, and with Aphro’s thin tail positioning, and after constant landing and calibration along the way, it finally took them four days to fly over to Cairo.
Most of the time had been spent on the calibration of the direction. The green-sh.e.l.led insect’s speed was extremely fast, and the time it was really flying in the sky was not much.
After they arrived in Cairo, Old Youling left the team alone for a while, and when it came back, it was able to speak Arabic. Chu Yunsheng knew that it must have devoured someone from the local area; only in this way would it be able to obtain the memory of the person.
But Chu Yunsheng didn’t say anything. Sometimes he felt that he was really not a good person, and he was getting colder and more ruthless. Especially in the pseudo monolith, all kinds of negative mentalities were sharply magnified. Although he didn’t do anything he liked, and he was able to restrain himself, in order to find the Great Pyramid and what he needed along the way, he did start to tolerate Old Youling devouring people.
When they were a few dozen kilometers away from Cairo, Old Youling turned into a native Egyptian and soon found the Great Pyramid; but it also unexpectedly found that the place was already overcrowded. After careful inquiry, they found out that there were rumors saying that people hiding in or near the pyramid would not be eaten by creatures in the dark, and they would probably be rescued by Ra if they were near the pyramid.
However, it was also very strange that there were indeed no human-eating monsters near the pyramids. It was very safe here. Since the rumors have somewhat been proven to be true, more and more people started to gather near the pyramids.
To get closer to the pyramids, Chu Yunsheng and Aphro covered themselves completely with the clothes Old Youling stole, revealing only their eyes outside. In this way, they looked no different from the Arabs who had taken refuge near the Pyramids.
Chu Yunsheng and Aphro were two pretenders, but Old Youling was different. The Egyptian it turned into was genuine and authentic, and it even spoke in Arabic, so with the food from the storage talisman, they got into the refugee camp without any problem, and not a single person suspected them.
Who would have thought that Chu Yunsheng, a man from the far east would come here?
However, although it was easy to get into the refugee camp, it was very difficult to get into each pyramid. After Old Youling asked around, it turned out that it had been occupied by many Arab n.o.bles and various new forces, especially the Great Pyramid. Egyptian government personnel were stationed in the pa.s.sages, bas.e.m.e.nts, and various chambers.
This situation gave both Chu Yunsheng and Old Youling both a headache. It would be easy to deal with if there were newly emerged awakened forces in the Great Pyramid. They could simply pretend to join in after showing their awakening ability, but the government always made them feel uneasy. If they had contact with No.1 and Tzolk’in beings, it would be similar to surrendering himself.
After discussing it, Chu Yunsheng continued to hide among the refugees, while Old Youling looked for an opportunity to devour one of the staff members, turned it into his appearance, and lurked in to see if the secret room was available.
Because of language barriers, Chu Yunsheng and Aphro could only pretend to be mutes inside the tent that they bought using the valuable resource – water. When Old Youling was away, both of them stayed silent. Chu Yunsheng tried his best to recover from his injuries, and Aphro tried her best to remember the cultivation method that Chu Yunsheng gave her.
After three days, Old Youling, who went inside the pyramid to check the situation inside finally returned.
“It can definitely be used. Egyptian scientific and technical personnel are working hard to decipher the inscriptions in the secret room. If I am not wrong, they also want to open the descending tunnel.” As soon as Old Youling entered the tent and saw that no one was around, it whispered.
Chu Yunsheng asked with a quiet voice, “They found the secret room?”
Old Youling nodded: “The dimension restrict is too weak here, so the fourth dimension was revealed to them much earlier. As long as there are humans with powerful awakening ability, it is not difficult to break through the door of the fourth dimension to open the secret room.”
Chu Yunsheng knew that he wasn’t a lucky guy. The “treasure” would not only appear before him. As long as other people were strong enough, they would also be able to obtain the treasure, but then he didn’t care, he simply asked, “Did they find anything?”
“There are many inscriptions on the wall. They may be wors.h.i.+p texts, or spells to activate the tunnel. Some sentences are also on the walls outside, such as ‘Building a heavenly ladder for the pharaoh so that he can go to the sky’, ‘A ray of light stretches toward you, guiding you forward, it is Ra’s eyes, ‘, ‘When the G.o.ds return, the pharaoh will resurrect and restore his power’.”
Old Youling paused, “These words all allude to the descent. Some of the inscriptions behind it should be spells that open the descending tunnel. There are five luxurious and n.o.ble coffins, each located on one side, distributed like a five-pointed star. On the ground between the coffins, there are many dense patterns. The effect of dense patterns is temporarily unknown, but the channels above are deep and long, and those scientific researchers will feel dizzy if they look at them.
In addition, there is a mummy in the secret room, which looked like it had actually crawled out of the coffin itself after it was buried. According to the a.n.a.lysis of the Egyptian archaeologists on the scene, this mummy should have crawled out of the coffin long after the secret room and the pyramid were sealed. It was left behind the secret door. There was also sand and mud in the mouth. Egyptian experts believe that this is the most powerful evidence of the resurrection of the pharaoh. The cause of death may be that when he was resurrected, the dynasty belonged to the pharaoh had ended, and the successor of the new dynasty naturally would not remember the internal agreement of the previous dynasty and forgot to open the secret room on time, so the resurrected pharaoh was trapped in the secret room, he was either starved to death or suffocated to death.”
While talking, it used paper to draw the structure it had seen and show it to Chu Yunsheng and Aphro.
Naturally, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t tell anything from the drawing, but Aphro let out a surprised noise and said, “The meaning of these inscriptions is the same as the holy words of The Grand Temple. They also contain the words ‘Heavenly Ladder’ and ‘Return’. There is also a coffin-like sacred pool in the Grand Temple. Aphro lied in there and then turned up here.”
Old Youling nodded and wrote a large paragraph of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs while saying: “Then it must be it. These words haven’t been completely deciphered by them. Let me see if I can find some clues.”
Then, based on memory, it drew a bunch of murals that it saw in the secret room. Chu Yunsheng did not disturb it, watching silently from the side. The relations.h.i.+p between Old Youling and him was very strange. Aphro carried him out of danger because she blindly believed that he was her Gai Yi Si, but he didn’t know why Old Youling wanted to stick with him.
He and Old Youling didn’t have a deep relations.h.i.+p. Dark was created by him, the little tiger was raised by him, and even Yu Xiaohai also had a deep relations.h.i.+p with him before the dark age. But there was nothing between him and Old Youling. Instead, the relations.h.i.+p between him and Old Youling could be described as ‘he was always using it, and Old Youling was always trying to run away from him.’
When he was more powerful than Old Youling, Old Youling would listen to him and not defy his order. But when Old Youling became powerful enough, it could easily run away from him, and it could even attack him.
Before, the reason why he confided his story to Old Youling was not that Old Youling had equally important status as Dumb Insect in his heat; he simply needed to vent it. It could be even considered a kind of regret. After all, those words should have been told to Xiaohai.
Because of this, he would not thank Dark, the little tiger, or Dumb Insect and Yu Xiaohai. Because he considered them to be very close to him. But he would thank Old Youling.
Sometimes, grat.i.tude was a necessary courtesy, but it also defined a distance in the relations.h.i.+p.
Old Youling was very stupid sometimes that it could come up with very bad ideas. But when facing him, it would be very smart. Chu Yunsheng could tell that since the grey shadow’s attack until the moment he showed him the power of creating a sword out of thin air, its att.i.tude toward him changed repeatedly. It began to fear him again, and the disappearing sycophantic att.i.tude once again returned to it.
Chu Yunsheng knew that Old Youling’s intention of running away has not changed, nor has it hidden deeper. It was still there all the time. It didn’t want him to die, probably because it had learned something through Aphro and its perception has changed. Either because it was worried that itself might die as soon as he died, or because it was afraid that it would reincarnate again and again repeatedly after he died… Maybe there were other reasons Chu Yunsheng didn’t know. But he didn’t plan to ask it.
After all, it had tried desperately to save him, so it was not good to point it out. Otherwise, it would not end up good for both of them. Therefore, when Old Youling resumed its sycophantic att.i.tude, Chu Yunsheng didn’t ask it why but remained unconcerned.
“These murals seem to be different from the others.”
When Old Youling was about to finish drawing, Chu Yunsheng picked out a few sheets from a stack of paper and said quietly.
Old Youling let out a surprised noise, took a look, and said in doubt: “You can tell it too? I also felt that there is something strange about them. These murals are more delicate and richer than others, especially the text, which is completely different from the others. It seems, it seems to be a mature text! ”
Although Chu Yunsheng did not understand the inscriptions inside the pyramids, he also knew that the ancient Egyptian scripts were hieroglyphs, and it was very pictographic, but the words in these murals seemed to have a system, and it was by no means a primitive text.
He took a breath and said: “Could it be that they were left by the descenders?”
Old Youling’s eyes lit up, and it hurriedly spread out those special murals and put them together to form a large picture. Then, it looked carefully for a while and said in confusion, “The more I see those texts, the more familiar they look to me. Could it be that the creature I devoured in the past knew those texts?”
Chu Yunsheng glanced at it, his eyes moved slightly, and said: “Don’t worry, if you think carefully again, maybe you can remember something.”
Old Youling didn’t notice the change of Chu Yunsheng, so it was immersed in the big picture, thinking hard for a long time. It was so long that Chu Yunsheng began to practice his cultivation and recover his body again, and Aphro also continued to remember the cultivation method that she regarded as a “holy scripture”.
About two or three hours later, when Chu Yunsheng began to feel a little hungry, Old Youling suddenly patted its head and said excitedly, “Boss, I remember it now!”
“What does it say?” Chu Yunsheng asked.
Old Youling pointed to the mature texts and told Chu Yunsheng its imperfect translation,
“In year 316, the king was killed by poison, and the tribes gathered in some kind of city in the name of mourning, conspiring…”
“Conspiracy was leaked, and one hundred thousand people were beheaded!”
“…A big event was imminent, we had to do it…”
“Return to my homeland, return to my hometown, return to my old star!”
“We lost seven hundred ten thousand people. Although we had occupied the Realm Station, we couldn’t open the stone gate. The G.o.ds were coming, and hundreds of years of effort would be in vain and ruined. We won’t accept it!”
“…Blood formed rivers, tears drenched our clothes. All my people have been punished and killed. Men and women, old and young, died on the same day.”
“Guarding the Realm Station to death!”
“There were only seven people left. Tens of millions of people, only seven people left! They all died, all died!”
“…The gate opened…”
“Only I came back!”
“My beloved hometown, I have finally returned. This is our home, our planet, and the one that belongs to us in the vast stars we look at day and night! I finally came back!”
“I brought the knowledge and technology that had cost 80 million lives of our people, to our hometown, our primitive homeland, the old star of suffering. This is our only home, so even if we all died out, we had no regret…”
“…But, but I couldn’t get out, I’d tried countless ways, but I still couldn’t get out…”
“…I’m going to die soon, I want to take a look at the mountains and rivers in my hometown, I want to touch the dreamy gra.s.sland, and listen to the sound of the stream…”
“I could only kiss the ground of my homeland again, and pray to be reborn as the son of motherland again in the next life..”
…
“One day, there will be others that come back; more and more people will come back, we will all come back!”
