my days in ancient egypt

25

Three poles in the sun.

Mu Xiaomu opened his eyes, there was no sign of Ramses in the huge dormitory, thinking of how he tormented himself last night, Mu Xiaomu's face felt hot.

I moved my body, so sore that I didn't even have the strength to lift it up, so I looked down again.

The lower body, which was thought to be horrible, is not as messy as imagined. Could it be that someone cleaned it up for him?

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaomu fell back on the bed and covered his head with a thin quilt.

Let me die, let me die, this kind of appearance was actually seen by others.

Suddenly, with the sound of wings vibrating, Mu Xiaomu pulled back the thin quilt, revealing a pair of eyes.

The eagle standing on the bedpost gave Mu Xiaomu a resentful look, then spread its wings and flew towards the window sill.

If Mu Xiaomu moves now, the wound on his lower body will be affected, it hurts, and because of the medicine, he still feels a little cool.

Evel just met him face to face, gave him a contemptuous glance, and flew out.

Mu Xiaomu nestled on the bed and began to think about a question.

Ramses is so fierce, can he counterattack?

For a moment, only the word "counterattack" remained in Mu Xiaomu's mind.

Once the flooding period in Egypt is over, the whole country ushers in a grand festival - Opit Festival

On this day, the noble pharaoh will parade with the statue of Amun, from the Karnak Temple in the north to the Luxor Temple in the south.During the festival, the priests of the temple will also distribute beer and bread to the civilians who celebrate the festival.

This is the second grand festival that Mu Xiaomu has brought to Egypt.

Early in the morning of the festival, Mu Xiaomu was pulled up early by Ramses.

Mu Xiaomu rubbed his eyes, and looked at Ramses who was in high spirits with great sorrow. He was in good spirits, but he was the one who was pressed and tossed every night, and he was not allowed to sleep.

Ramses rubbed Mu Xiaomu's face vigorously.

"Go wash up now, I'll be busy later, you follow Ferm, don't run around a step, do you hear me?"

It wasn't until Mu Xiaomu nodded that Ramses let go of his head in satisfaction.

Ramses ordered the maid, and then went out. Mu Xiaomu fell headlong on the bed and fell asleep again.

During the festival, it is up to the priests of the Karnak Temple to move the statues and escort the statues.Ney is the priest of the Karnak Temple. Except for Ramses, his status in Egypt even exceeds that of the Egyptian royal family and nobles.

Ney was weak, so he secretly sent Seves, another high priest in the temple.Seves greeted the statue on the sacred solar ship, while he stood respectfully on one side.

Across the river bank, Ramses dressed up to welcome the statue of Amon. Dozens of priests in white robes put the statue on a huge carriage. Temple to go.

Mu Xiaomu rode on the horse and followed Ferm. From afar, he could see the figure of Ramses standing on the carriage, with a handsome face full of confidence, accepting the worship of the people.

Mu Xiaomu's complexion was a little pale, and after a long time, he said to Ferm: "Can we stop riding horses?"

Being tormented by Ramses for several nights in a row, although he did a lot of foreplay every time, the frequent times made Mu Xiaomu's lower body extremely sensitive, and he rode a horse before the wound healed, purely courting death.

Ferm looked at Mu Xiaomu suspiciously, and didn't understand why he had to walk instead of riding a good horse.

"This kind of festival will be lively if you go with the residents of the city."

Ferm thought for a while, nodded, tied his horse under a palm tree on one side, and followed Mu Xiaomu to walk south.

After visiting around, except for some bread and beer given out by the priests in the temple, Mu Xiaomu’s whole festival was so boring, it couldn’t be compared with the original River Valley Feast Festival, maybe the freshness of the festival has passed , in short, he just couldn't lift his spirits.

The Opite Festival after the flooding of the Nile River, as the name suggests, is a festival to celebrate the planting of seeds. This kind of festival usually lasts for a long time, about ten days or so. Pray to the gods to bless Egypt with a good harvest in the coming year.

The favorite festival of the Egyptians is also the Opite Festival, because on this day, they can not only get free bread and beer sent by the priests of the temple, but also divination and get oracle.Residents of Thebes are allowed the opportunity to divination to the gods on this day.This opportunity is expected by all the residents, and they compete with each other, hoping to get a wished result through divination.

Mu Xiaomu was very curious about how to do divination, and after hearing what Ferm said, he burst out laughing.

It is improbable that the inhabitants of Thebes should have judged divine revelation by the lowering or raising of the bows of the holy ships.

During the sacrificial ceremony, no one was allowed to approach the altar, just like the last River Valley Feast Festival, Mu Xiaomu could only see the white figure on the altar.

Until the end of the sacrifice, Mu Xiaomu planned to leave, what a boring festival.

The priests of the Karnak Temple transported the statues back after offering sacrifices, and white robes passed by one after another.Mu Xiaomu glanced inadvertently, and suddenly found a familiar face among the group of people.

A priestess who looks like Fini, isn't that Fini?

However, Finny was actually wearing the long white dress of the priestess of the Karnak Temple, her shiny black hair was coiled on the top of her head, her cheeks were drooping, and her footsteps were a little urgent.

In front of him, more and more people separated him, Mu Xiaomu wanted to rush over, grabbed Finny, and asked her what was going on, didn't she disappear, how did she become the Temple of Karnak Priestess, and, did she know that her parents had been killed.

Beside him, Ferm took Mu Xiaomu's arm and dragged him out of the crowd.

On the way back to the palace, Mu Xiaomu proposed to visit the Karnak Temple. Ferm thought about it and nodded.

Ferm didn't talk much, when Mu Xiaomu asked him a question, Ferm could always answer in the simplest way, if he didn't say anything, Ferm basically nodded his head, just like now.

The Karnak Temple is located in the north of Thebes City, near the Nile River, and is an ancient temple.Here, God Amon is enshrined. The entire temple covers a large area, and the buildings are mysterious and majestic, which made Mu Xiaomu, who grew up in modern times, speechless.

On one side, Ferm said, "This is not a place you can enter casually. If I hadn't promised that the king would take good care of you, I wouldn't have brought you here."

After entering the temple, the walls of the hall are engraved with portraits of ancient Egyptians, some of which are farming paintings and household paintings, but most of them describe the legends of the gods.

There were huge pillars all around, one after another, Mu Xiaomu walked inside for a while, but still didn't reach the end.

Suddenly, a priestess walked up to the two of them and asked seriously, "Who are you? You are not allowed to enter here."

Ferm wanted Lamu Xiaomu to leave without saying a word. Trespassing on the temple was already a crime. If he offended the priestess here again, he would not be able to explain it to the king.

"Wait a minute" Mu Xiaomu called to stop the priestess.

The priestess said impatiently: "If you don't leave, I will call Lord Sevis."

"Is there a priestess named Finny here?"

The priestess shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."

Mu Xiaomu nodded in disappointment. Although she didn't know why Fini became the priestess of the Karnak Temple, it could be seen from Fini's expression that she must have something to hide.

After leaving the temple, Ferm thought that Mu Xiaomu would go back with him obediently, but in a blink of an eye, this guy bent over and ran into the temple while no one was paying attention.

asshole!

For the first time, Ferm had the urge to curse, this pastor, does he know what he is doing!

Seeing him rushing towards a place he couldn't enter, Ferm took a last look at the place where his figure disappeared, and sighed secretly.

Wang, how could he fall in love with such a troublesome guy!

Mu Xiaomu was sure that it was someone from the temple who brought Feeney in. Could it be possible to find the murderer of the Mafier couple based on this clue?

Breaking into a dark corridor, Mu Xiaomu leaned against the wall, slowed down and walked forward cautiously.

Gradually came to the end, there was a closed door, surrounded by walls, Mu Xiaomu hesitated to open the door to have a look.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the door.

Mu Xiaomu withdrew his hand and pressed against the wall nervously, not daring to make a sound.

"Nefel Tari, is today's Opiet Festival fun?"

"Nefeltaly, you are not paying attention."

"Nefeltaly, are you unhappy?"

The speaker could tell from his voice that he was a man, and the Nefertari he was talking about—

Nefertari --

Even though Mu Xiaomu is an otaku, he has heard of that mysterious and beautiful woman, the woman that Ramses II loved all his life, her name is Nefertari——

The Beloved of Ramses, then, is behind this door.

Mu Xiaomu suddenly had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving.

However, the next moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

Crisp and sweet with little girls.

Mu Xiaomu's steps paused, if you heard me right, it was Finny's voice——

"Master Sevis, can I go out?"

Inside the room, the girl named Nefertari lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling. At this moment, she looked at Seves with a little fear in her eyes, and her hand holding the cloak trembled, causing the corners of her white clothes to fall to the ground. Quickly wipe out a light black mark.

Seves' eyes darkened, and he was about to speak when he heard a "bang", and the door was opened.

At the door, Mu Xiaomu had a cold face and looked straight at the girl. After a while, he seemed relieved.

"Finny, it's really you—"

The author has something to say: After publishing the three chapters, I will withdraw silently

Dear friends, I read all the messages carefully, covering my face in embarrassment...
