I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 218 Reed Plain

It was an endless plain with occasional undulating hills, covered with golden reeds, and the reed flowers were fluffy, like cotton.

The sun in the distance hangs high in the sky, reflecting this piece of reed plain as bright as gold, and the beauty is suffocating.

The sound of the wind in the ear, and the larks curling up in the sky, there is no extra noise, looking at them seems to be able to wash away the dust in the soul.

In this field of reeds, there are some statues of gods standing on the ground. He saw some people wearing white robes walking in the field of reeds. Their appearance is very similar to those Egyptians in Cairo, but the difference is that they There are happy smiles on their faces.

Elderly parents are sitting under the reeds with laughter, children are playing, everything is so happy, like a dream.

"This should be Lu Weiyuan, the "afterlife" in Egyptian legend, right?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from his ear, he turned his head abruptly, and saw Tony and Shaar appear beside him at some point.

There was a little joy on his face, "Mr. Stark."

Although he was not afraid of death, he still felt uneasy when he came to a strange land suddenly.

Shaar had set up a coordinate on Galante's body before, as long as his soul could reach here, then he could reach this final destination through magic.

This is why Galante must enter the underground palace.

"You've done a good job," Stark said. "I'm a little surprised that you agreed so simply."

"I've already died once." Galante smiled, "If you don't take some risks in the rest of the time, how can you see the scenery that ordinary people can't see."

"Very good condition." Shaar's eyes flickered, "I hope you will still be like this in 50 years..."

Tony looked at all this in a daze, "It's really a beautiful place, completely different from the Egypt I remember."

"The biggest stereotype of the ancient Egyptians built by Hollywood is that they worshiped death and evil."

Char said quietly,

"Although their death takes up a lot of space, they don't worship death, on the contrary, they love life.

If you understand their civilization, you will find that in their inscriptions calling for the living to call passers-by, "everyone who loves life".

There is no word for "animal" in their ancient Egyptian language, because they believe that animals also have souls, and all things are equal.

It can be seen from the fact that many of their gods are animal heads.

For them, death is not some kind of glory and disgrace, nor is it the end, it is just a transit point in life. The purpose of accepting death is not to worship death, but to live forever.

In order to hug the lost family members again in the reed field, to toast with friends again in the reed field, and to pet the favorite dog again in the reed field.

The reed field is not hell, it is the "afterlife", it is the extension of home, it is the smile of parents, it is the whisper of husband and wife, it is the small piece of land in front of the door, it is the long road behind the house. The river is also the jujube tree by the river.

Cherish every minute and every second of being alive, face death calmly, and live on.

The sun also rises as usual"

It was also just as Char said to Alicia in the hot spring pool when Hart rebelled against the West French Empire.

The afterlife is a beautiful longing derived from people's ultimate fear of death.

It is a romance unique to human civilization, and it is also a proof that human beings once again challenged the invincible.

Like the Chinese civilization, it is a prosperous farming civilization with a long history and a huge land. It was born in a warm and relatively rich place, so it is difficult to be particularly cruel and dark.

What Hollywood has done to Egyptian civilization has also been done to Chinese civilization. Fu Manchu is a classic example.

They also rendered the Chinese civilization as a stereotyped, ancient, and cruel evil civilization.

For them, whether it is Egypt, Aztec, Inca or China.

If the enemy is a group of people who love life, home and peace, then the explorers in these movies are complete villains, and no one likes to watch such villains.

If the impression of the Egyptians was really good, then the things written in the Bible would not stand up rationally.

That's their purpose.

Shaar had seen a movie called The Mummy before, and the most impressive thing was that the Egyptians executed Imerton with scarabs.

What is a scarab?
The scientific name is dung beetle, and in China, people call it dung beetle.

People have tried their best to make their recipes look so harmless, and this group of Angsa people have to slander them for cannibalism.

The monsters with human faces and bird bodies outside are called Ba (Ba)

The ancient Egyptians divided people into two parts, Ka and Ba: Ka means "double", representing the human body; Ba is a monster with a human head and a bird body, representing the immortal soul.

The reason why the Egyptians made mummies was because they believed that after 3000 years, the two parts of the dead would be reunited and reborn into the reed field.

Under normal circumstances, humans cannot see Ba, and it will fly down from the sky only when a person is about to die.

After hovering in the sky, Ba will fly to the body of the dying person, penetrate into the soul of the deceased at the moment of death, and then fly to the sky with the soul.

It is also said that Ba is actually formed by the transformation of the soul of the dead.So the number of ba hidden in the sky is equal.

Ba's range of activity is the sky.But he occasionally flies into the flesh and mummy where he once stayed.

Of course, even if Ba returns, the mummy will not be resurrected.But for Ba, returning to the mummy is a good way to rest.

In other words, those bastards staying in the underground palace are all souls who have lost their bodies.
Even in the past 3000 years, they will no longer be able to go to the reed field.

That's why, Shaar said that these birds are the sins of these Europeans
Tony watched all this quietly. As a person who grew up in the United States and often watched Hollywood movies, this was the first time he had heard such an interpretation.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"The United States is no longer the original United States."

He looked around, "Perhaps, the reason why their deaths occupy a large part of their records should be because of their cultural gap.

Most of the main ways for people to understand them come from the murals in the tomb, and the murals in the tomb are naturally related to death. "

Shaar nodded, "It should be for this reason."

He looked at the reed plain and said with emotion.

"Unfortunately. This place won't last long"
