Zongman: Daily Exorcism, Eight Wonders Rewarded at the Beginning

But their performance was different from Chi Feicheng's. The weaker they were, the more intoxicated and obsessed they looked.

"amnesty!"

Chi Feicheng shouted softly.

The strange energy spread like a spider web.

Mai Sakurajima and Utaha Kasumigaoka suddenly shuddered.

After they came to their senses in an instant, they realized that they had almost been hit.

"Is this voice bewitching us?"

Mai Sakurajima was a little scared.

Although the consequences are unclear.

But obviously nothing good is going to happen.

"Everyone, be careful. It's best not to look up at the sky."

Chi Feicheng gave stern instructions.

The triggering condition for the piano sound is to look directly at 4.7 Lyrae in the sky.

As long as you don't look at it, ordinary people will not be affected.

"Orpheus?"

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to think of something.

Ever since I heard that the underworld in ancient Greek mythology really exists.

I know Chi Feicheng doesn't like studying Western mythology.

Shiyu made a special trip to study hard on this subject.

Although she encountered a powerful monster, she could not help Chi Feicheng.

But as a knowledge base, Kasumigaoka Utaha is fully capable of doing so.

Chi Feicheng nodded slowly.

He could only think of the son of the sun god Apollo.

Orpheus!

The child of Apollo, the sun god, and Calliope, the patron goddess.

Born with a talent for singing and playing the lyre, he could use his singing and playing to cast spells, allowing the listeners to quickly enter a state of ecstasy.

really!

Paradise Island is also related to the underworld.

【Chapter 296】Orpheus's Love Story

handed down.

Orpheus came from a noble family.

His father was Apollo, the sun god.

His mother was the muse Calliope.

He has shown extraordinary artistic and leadership talents since childhood.

With his talent, Orpheus quickly established great achievements among the heroes.

Legend has it that he used the sound of his zither to help heroes subdue a giant dragon in the mountains.

I also used a heroic hymn to wash away the temptation of the sirens' song.

He also played a song in the capital, which aroused cheers from the whole nation.

Orpheus was no war hero.

But his shadow can be found in many Greek myths.

This is enough to illustrate his own strength.

But it is not for these deeds that Orpheus is best known.

But it was his tragic love.

It is definitely the most touching chapter in Greek mythology.

Legend has it that Orpheus had a wife who was in love with him.

His name is Eurydice.

She was lively by nature, but unfortunately she was bitten by a poisonous snake and died soon after.

Orpheus was heartbroken when he heard the bad news. He took out his golden harp and played a sad song.

The sound of the piano was so moving that even the stubborn stones shed tears.

In order to see his wife again, Orpheus risked his life to go to the underworld, just to find the 16 most important people in his life.

His piano playing moved the boatman on the River Styx, tamed the three-headed dog guarding the gate of the underworld, and even moved the King and Queen of the Underworld.

They agreed to Orpheus' request, but put forward a condition.

Before he leads his wife out of the underworld, he must not look back at her, otherwise his wife will never be able to return to the world of the living.

On the way back, Orpheus always kept in mind the conditions proposed by Hades. Even though Eurydice groaned in pain with every step because of the snake venom, Orpheus never looked back at her.

The two walked silently, one in front and the other behind, out of the Death Gate, through the Valley of Darkness, and across the River Styx. The whole way was full of gloom.

at last!

I don't know how long it took.

The two finally saw a glimmer of light belonging to the human world.

But Eurydice could not bear the cold treatment she received from her husband along the way, and she began to grumble unhappily.

Orpheus was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He forgot Pluto's conditions in an instant and turned around to hug his wife.

Suddenly, everything disappeared like a dream and burst like a bubble, and the long arm of death once again pulled Eurydice back to the underworld.

At this moment, Orpheus suddenly realized.

Pluto is actually not so willing to let the dead go.

It just gave him a chance to resurrect his wife.

The other party understands human nature too well.

He knew that even if Orpheus could endure it all the way, he would definitely not be able to bear it at the last moment.

Even if he didn't look back at the last moment, Hades would at most release one undead, which would have no effect at all.

Orpheus, who lost his wife again, did not return to the human world alone, but stayed outside the River Styx, standing in the underworld, playing Eurydice's favorite music all day long.

The sun god and the patron goddess felt sorry for their son's tragic experience and asked the king of gods Zeus to give Orpheus the lyre.

This lyre was originally Apollo's artifact, which had the function of nurturing divinity. Eventually, Orpheus became the god of sorrow and joy.

……

Chi Feicheng only knew part of the story of Orpheus.

But with Kasumigaoka Utaha's supplement, he soon knew the whole picture.

Chi Feicheng never confuses myths and historical truths.

Five parts truth, three parts falsehood, and two parts embellishment can always create a beautiful legend that touches the public, just like the simple Sicily.

First of all, as the wife of a famous hero, she was actually knocked down by a poisonous snake and her life was easily taken.

Well, even if Eurydice was an ordinary person and couldn't withstand the strong snake venom.

It is really hard to understand why the King of Hell and Queen of Hell, who are in charge of the underworld, would be moved by the love of mortals.

If this story is mostly true.

Chi Feicheng was more inclined to think that the characters in the story worked together to perform a play.

The purpose is to make Orpheus a god.

after all……

This is the son of Apollo, the sun god.

It’s like the second generation of rich people going to the countryside to experience life, and then returning to inherit the family business after going through hardships.

Chi Feicheng had seen many people like this when he was in the Taoist temple before, and he was deeply touched by this.

Just as he was lost in thought, the beautiful sound of the piano rang in his ears again.

This time, the sound of the piano no longer appeared in my heart, but surrounded my ears.

The scene was silent, and everyone was admiring the wonderful piano music.

Immediately afterwards...

More than a dozen people of different heights, big and small, men and women walked out from behind the dark and dilapidated city wall.

Their eyes were dull, and as if guided by the music of the piano, they walked straight towards Chi Feicheng and others.

The beautiful piano music is like a bright light guiding the souls to where they should go.

Everyone shuddered, this time not being affected by the piano music. Ordinary people easily developed an instinctive fear of ghosts.

But it was strange that these ghosts seemed not to see them. They passed by the crowd directly, squeezed through the narrow gaps in the crowded crowd, and rushed all the way to the depths of the castle.

He looked up at the Lyra constellation still hanging in the sky.

Chi Feicheng has not yet found its owner.

If the lyre has not changed hands until now.

This shows that Orpheus is hiding very deeply.

At least he was able to deceive Chi Feicheng's consciousness.

"These are the vengeful spirits who died not long ago."

Recently, Mai Sakurajima has handled several supernatural incidents on her own.

It is still possible to distinguish between vengeful spirits and evil spirits.

The spirit that just walked into the castle clearly had a hint of resentment, but had already lost its mind, somewhere between a floating spirit and an evil spirit.

They are stronger than floating spirits, but not as aggressive as evil spirits.

"Let's go and see."

Since the owner of the lyre never shows up.

Chi Feicheng was too lazy to stay there and waste time.

He found that the piano music was useless to him, and the other party was still executing something, guiding the souls to the depths of the castle.

This means that something inside is extremely important to the owner of the lyre.

Chi Feicheng's idea is very simple.

As long as we destroy the other party's plan, no matter how deeply that guy hides, he will eventually jump out.

Sakurajima Mai and Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at each other, smiled at each other, and followed Chi Feicheng's footsteps very decisively.

Kana Kojima and the other teacher in charge looked at each other, both feeling that the castle was full of danger.

But all the extraordinary people have left, and it is even more unsafe for them, a group of ordinary people, to stay outside.

God knows whether the next time the undead attracted by the sound of the piano will be so easy to talk to?

The two men looked back at the group of students behind them, gritted their teeth, and led everyone into the castle.

Since I'm already here, I still have to follow someone with great abilities.
