Chapter 483 There Are More Than One Artifact

"what is this?"

"The walls of the Silver Temple are full of murals. Judging from the content, this should be a mirror. Only the gods can activate it and use it to shine something special.

And the one who can reflect the image in the mirror is only God. "

Huo Qubing asked, Kong Samadhi answered.

The artifact he took over was oval in shape, slightly larger than the palm of an ordinary person, pure black, made of crystal or gem-like material, with a smooth surface, similar to a mirror, and a bronze door engraved on the back.

On the door is an ancient pattern of flower branches, some like tulips, with a strong western style.

"Is it a god who can reflect an image in a mirror?"

Huo Qubing took a mirror to look at himself, but there was nothing.

It seems that the mirror has certified that he is not a god.

Huo Qubing tried to push breath into the mirror, and there was a buzzing sound, and in the deep darkness on the surface of the mirror, faint symbols flickered and rippled.

At this time, in the picture presented by Kong Samadhi's eyebrows and eyes, the interior of the temple is empty, and only the statues of the gods are carved in the middle.

The gods stand on the mountain, and the top of the mountain is the king of the gods.

There is a platform about a foot high under the statue.

There is a hollow in the center of the platform, which is unfathomable.The holy gun of war sinks into the hollow, and it can absorb and promote the changes in Parthia's national fortune.

This silver temple is similar to the secret library in the Great Han Palace.

"The mirror was taken out from the hollow in the center of the altar. The hollow seemed to be infinitely large and infinitely small. It stored the artifacts mastered by the Parthian royal family. There are also two pieces connected to the Parthian national fortune. To take it out, you need to shake the other National luck, it can’t be done in a short time.”

"I took out this mirror. If the owner hadn't checked it deliberately, he probably wouldn't have noticed it."

In the picture, the walls and dome of the Silver Temple began to appear.

There are a large number of relief-like mural groups engraved on it, including Zoroastrianism and ancient Babylonian gods. The images are majestic, detailed, and have a very clear narrative.

The Parthians believed that before a certain ancient time, the gods helped them get rid of ignorance, enlighten wisdom, and teach practice.

'Fire' is the origin of life in Zoroastrian philosophy.

It brings light and is the beginning of civilization. Life is born in flames and is also destroyed in flames.

One of the murals has the shape of a cluster of flames.

And a god was put in chains, curled up in the fire, and burned to death.

Then God turned into a baby in death, corresponding to the new birth.

The meaning of this mural is quite strange. A god who was worshiped by everyone before was put in shackles and endured the flames.

The ultimate meaning seems to be that even fire can't kill the gods, and the gods draw power from the flames and regain their vitality?

There are three or four reversals in one mural.

Huo Qubing continued to look at the picture in front of him, and there was a mural referring to the mirror retrieved by Kong Sanmai.

One god holds a mirror to reflect another god's eyebrows, and then shines on the sky, the meaning is difficult to understand.

Most of the remaining pictures painted on the walls are the ancestors of the Parthians offering sacrifices to the gods, and the scenes are grand.

Among their sacrifices to the gods were...human beings, that is, slaves.

Countless people obtained through wars were sacrificed to the gods.

Next to a god in the picture, a circular symbol appears, and the upper half depicts a distorted dotted line, implying a burning flame.The lower half is a concave outline, like a trace of the moon.

Kong Sanmai said with a finger symbol: "This symbol corresponds to old age, the lower half means the god who accepts worship, the fire of life is weakening, the depression is dry, and it will no longer release and burn.

There are similar symbols in the Vedas as well. "

Huo Qubing nodded slightly.

On the screen, after the old god accepted the slave's sacrifice, the flame symbol beside him was slowly rekindled.

The meaning of this is obvious, it is the god who absorbs the life of the slave and makes his own fire of life flourish again.

God is offering life as a sacrifice.

In other words, feed on people!
At the end of the mural, there is a god standing on the cloud, opening his mouth to absorb the kneeling crowd below, swallowing their vitality into his stomach.

If the number of sacrificed lives can be satisfied by the gods, some artifacts rewarded by the gods will fall into the hands of the rulers of the world.

These things are called artifacts.

"This mirror, according to Parthian legends, contains the most important secret of the gods. If it can be discovered, you can follow the footprints of the gods and gain the chance of immortality."

"After you left Parthia, what did you gain from going to Macedonia?"

Huo Qubing sacrificed his body to return to his soul, that is, Kong Sanmai, the man of Hattori.Their consciousness is attached to Huo Qubing's consciousness as the main body.

Huo Qubing can project his thoughts at any time to control, or convey subjective orders.

But when separated, they are relatively independent individuals.

Huo Qubing would even deliberately disconnect from his usual consciousness of reincarnating from a dead body, otherwise multiple thoughts would flood in and experience different things, which would be a great burden on the spirit.

So unless he extends his consciousness to perceive the resurrected body, he will not be able to grasp all his experiences at all times.

Kong Samadhi went to Macedonia after exploring Parthia.

Huo Qubing made an inquiry, and he took out another thing, which was an ancient classic, like a slate, also black.

"This stone slab was placed in the temple of the capital of Macedonia, under the seat of reflecting the gods, and it emitted special fluctuations, so I took it back."

Huo Qubing glanced at the stone slab. On the top of the front was the image of a wolf-headed god holding a scepter.

The jackal-headed god... Is this the ancient Egyptian code of death?
How could it appear in the temple of Macedonia?
Huo Qubing understood after thinking about it.

Macedonia was once powerful and glorious during Alexander's period, and unified Egypt.

Alexander also claimed that he was a child of Amon in order to rule Egypt better.

It is not surprising that something ancient in Egypt fell into the temple of the Macedonians.

However, on this ancient stone inscription in Egypt, there are also scenes of sacrifices, with a strange style.

Countless people took out their internal organs from their chests, put them in jars one by one, and dedicated their lives and internal organs to the gods, praying for rebirth after death, immortality.

The legends of gods and demons in these Mediterranean countries are quite similar... Huo Qubing thought to himself: Gods are mostly related to life and death, because people are full of fear of the unknown after death.

God claims to have mastered the secret of life, which is tantamount to helping mankind resist the greatest fear, so that people can be awed and believed.

Huo Qubing's thoughts moved slightly. The ancient Egyptian myth said that the gods could return from death.The Parthian god was indestructible, reborn in flames, and would come to life again.

Macedonia, that is, the gods of ancient Greece, have changed from generation to generation, with similarities and minor differences.

Huo Qubing suddenly thought of those forbidden things in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. In the handwriting left by the Emperor Qin, he repeatedly emphasized that they were also unkillable, and they regarded themselves as immortals, demons and gods.

But after Huo Qubing tried it, he found that they could be killed, but it was not easy.

Since it can be killed, the message conveyed in Emperor Shihuang's hand scroll is not completely correct...

Or is my understanding wrong?

Could the 'immortality' mentioned by Emperor Qin have another meaning, he is pointing out the origin of those things?
But why not say so?

Huo Qubing glanced at the two creations left by the gods in his hands.

The gods in these countries' legends a long time ago seem to be similar to those imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum?
They all accept sacrifices and absorb life force to strengthen themselves?

Huo Qubing waved his hands, and the samadhi disappeared and merged into the void.

He still has other things ordered by Huo Qubing, waiting to be done.

In the study, Huo Qubing lightly tapped the low mat in front of him with his fingers, lost in thought.

Mirror and black slate codex.

There are powerful fluctuations in these two things.In induction, it is the grade corresponding to the fairy artifact, which is extremely precious.

But its effect remains to be explored.

Huo Qubing pondered for a while, then took out the four scrolls of Emperor Shihuang's handwriting, and read them carefully from beginning to end.

During the process, Bai Nanyu came in from the door with soft steps.

She slept next to Huo Qubing, and the arrival of Kong Sanmai made her realize that the study room was lit, so she got up.

On her smooth jade shoulders was a light rouge-colored inner jacket, revealing her pink neck and delicate collarbone, and the little jacket inside was faintly visible.

A section of calf sticks out from under the jacket, which is as smooth as enamel.

She took off her embroidered shoes under the wooden steps of the study, walked barefoot to Huo Qubing's body, and brightened the lamp next to her.

He took another hot water and poured it out, and set it aside.Then he also took out a scroll to read, but most of the time his mind was on Huo Qubing.

The black and white face illuminated by the light, the bright and eye-catching eyes, the always straight back, even the static Huo Qubing still shows his sharpness.

Bai Nanyu pursed her lower lip, narrowed her charming peach eyes slightly, looked at Huo Qubing for a long time but still didn't look back, and subconsciously leaned towards him.

Huo Qubing put away the scroll, and his teasing eyes fell on Bai Nanyu.

The half-open middle coat showed her bosom, and the hem was precarious, as if it might be overwhelmed and collapse at any time.

"come over."

Bai Nanyu was stunned for a moment, and then she came to Huo Qubing's side, her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and she looked pretty at the mercy of others...

"After a while, let you officially enter the mansion?" Huo Qubing said.

Bai Nanyu shook her head slightly, her face was like a peach blossom, and her intoxicating eyes flickered: "If Master Hou wants me, I am willing, but I don't want to marry into the family."

Marrying into the Hou's mansion means being ruled by the main family, and not being bullied to death by Liu Qing.

And it is impossible for the concubine to continue to accompany the army.

Bai Nanyu blinked her eyes, moved forward, and moved again.Finally, with a soft moan, she closed her eyes and raised her pretty face slightly...

----

A few days passed.

The battle situation in the northwest has changed, and the country of Parthia is shrinking in an all-round way, and the defense line is rearranged.

Externally, it seeks alliances and gathers countries to fight against Han.

After resting for a few days, Zhang Cigong, Zhao Puonu, Yao Zhao, Fu Luzhi and others walked into the main hall of the Chinese Army in Nordjali City in the afternoon.

When they entered, apart from Huo Qubing, there was Bai Nanyu wearing a mask in the hall, and Gongsun Hong was on the other side.

Both of them looked intently at the scroll in front of Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing is writing a scroll, drawing a marching map.

Its movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, outlining the terrain and mountains of Parthia, the city and the general distribution of soldiers.

The process of depiction also carries with it the prediction of the mobilization of soldiers from Parthia and even surrounding countries, and the direction of subsequent wars.

If there were high-level Parthia military officials, they would be stunned and suspect that there were spies on their side.

Because Huo Qubing marked it on the map, the forecast of their army mobilization, as seen with his own eyes, was almost exact.

Huo Qubing also marked on the map the Han army's marching plan to counter other countries in the next stage.

Among them, there are two scarlet marching lines, which are full of aggressiveness, such as spear attack.

Looking at the fluency of Huo Qubing's drawings, it gave people an idea that he knew the battle situation like the back of his hand and would be invincible.

When he put down his pen, a complicated and complete military map appeared on the map, marking the direction of the enemy and our troops.

"This picture is a preview of the use of troops in the next stage. There may be some discrepancies in the details, but the use of troops in Parthia, Armenia, Macedonia and other countries will not change much."

Zhang Cigong said: "Parthia has been beaten to the brink of collapse by us.

Who is Da Sima going to use first? "

"It's not just referring to any one, but these several companies fighting together."

"I called you here because His Majesty's reward has arrived.

Zhao Puonu was appointed General Yingyang Zuo Duwei, Lu Zhi, Yao Zhao, Zhao Anji was promoted to Zhonglang General, Zhao Chongguo, Pu Peng, Gao Bushi was promoted to Captain.Xiaoqi Sheng was promoted to the imperial gate captain of the imperial army. "

Huo Qubing glanced at him and opened his mouth to speak, but Chen Qing, who didn't mention his name, said with a smile: "You are also a Zhonglang general."

After a few people were promoted, their status and salary increased, but the position of commanding the army to fight remained the same as before.

The promotion comes as soon as it is said, and I am very happy.

Huo Qubing threw the marching map to Zhang Cigong: "You guys send troops according to the map, and the missions are marked. We can't allow Parthia and other countries to form a coalition force and attack them."

Several people took orders in unison.

Starting from this afternoon, the Han army's cavalry came out in all directions and launched a new round of offensive against various parts of Parthia.
