Please Obey The Game

Chapter 79 The Kingdom of the Styx

The Egyptians are polytheistic, and they believe in other theological sects while believing in the Egyptian gods. The main sects are Christianity and Islam, which are based on the Bible.

Gao Yan wiped his face, turned around and swam towards the shore.Soon he reached the river bank, stood up slowly, walked to the steps and sat down, wringing out his clothes while looking at where he was.

The river cuts the land in half, with crops and humans on each side.Two huge black stones stood at the crossings on both sides of the river. The stones towered into the sky and their ends were wrapped in clouds.

Huge chains wrapped around the black boulder, as if suppressing something.

The shore was shrouded in mist, and the pine forest in the distance was sent into the clouds. There were chaotic running sounds in the mist, and the roar of ferocious beasts.A cry of an eagle resounded through the sky, and with a sound of 'shua', the majestic eagle slid towards the sky, flickering in the clouds and mists.

After a while, a figure stopped above Gao Yan's head.

Gao Yan held his hands stiffly, and slowly raised his head. Above his head was a man with an eagle head and eagle wings. He was wearing a soldier's armor and holding a spear, and was examining him.

"Rumet." The eagle-headed guy called Gao Yan, and then landed in front of him, aiming his spear between Gao Yan's eyebrows: "Where do you come from?"

Rumet is an Egyptian name for a person, and its original meaning is tears.Because human beings are transformed from the tears of the Lord of the Universe.

Gao Yan: "A place other than the Styx River."

The eagle-headed guard put away his spear: "You are very honest. I like honest humans. But you should not break in. The Kingdom of Styx refuses the entry of humans."

Gao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, of course he knew that the guards liked honest humans.Because he is the race of the sun god Ra, then he must love honesty and kindness.

He said: "I was accidentally brought to this place by the flood. If there is a way for me to leave, I will leave immediately."

Guard: "You may be disappointed, the Kingdom of Styx will never be open to the outside world."

Gao Yan frowned: "Can I get out?"

Guard: "You can get eternity in the kingdom of Styx."

Gao Yan: "I don't need it, I have to leave."

The guard hesitated for a while and said, "I express my regret."

Gao Yan's heart sank gradually, he knew that Styx Kingdom had been closed to the outside world for ten years.But since it is closed, there must be a way to open the gate, and the guard's hesitation also shows that he knows this way.

But obviously he won't help.

The sound of 'crashing' attracted Gao Yan and the guards to look over, and found that Song Beiliu was wet all over, and he wrung out his clothes as he walked.When he saw Gao Yan and the guards, he raised his hand to say hello, and walked up to him, Song Beiliu changed into an ancient language to talk to the guards.

The guard looked at him suspiciously: "Where are you from?"

Song Beiliu: "Beyond the Styx River." He pointed at Gao Yan: "The reason is the same as his, we are young boys who accidentally fell into the Styx River."

Gao Yan: "..."

Guard: "Have you been to the Kingdom of Styx before?"

Song Beiliu: "Before it was closed, I lived for a while. The area I manage under the management of Your Excellency Sobek is near the River Styx."

Sobek is one of the eight main gods of Egypt. He has a crocodile head and a human body. He is mainly responsible for digging and guarding the Styx.

The guard nodded, apparently believing what he said, and asked him if he would return to where he lived.Song Beiliu nodded yes, and pointed to Gao Yan to take him through the pine forest.

Guard: "Do you need me to lead you in?"

Song Beiliu: "No, thank you."

The guard nodded, spread his wings and roared into the sky, circled a few times above them, and then swam to other areas of the Styx to patrol.After the guard left, Gao Yan asked, "Is that why he trusts you?"

Song Beiliu walked forward, turned around and said, "Ten years ago, the Kingdom of Styx was a peaceful game field that didn't like killing. Players can enter the game and just play casually to pass the level. A game field with a death rate of 0, some Players will live in the Kingdom of Styx when they are interested, waiting to get the green card of the eternal resident."

Gao Yan lowered his eyes: "It sounds peaceful, but why did the players almost disappear later?"

Chu Suibi didn't say much, but Gao Yan knew that the extinction of all players was a deeply buried scar in his heart, so Gao Yan always took this matter to heart and kept it firmly in mind.

Before Song Beiliu could answer, Gao Yan continued to ask: "Because the game field was suddenly upgraded to an advanced level? A game field with eight main gods in Egyptian mythology was only an intermediate level ten years ago?"

Song Beiliu: "Because the game field is not dangerous enough, the death rate is 0, which is not enough to be judged as a high-level game field."

Gao Yan: "Don't lie to me, the loophole is too obvious. First, there are eight main gods in the game field, which fundamentally determines that the level of the game field is not too low. Death rate is one of the factors to determine the level of the game field. It’s not an absolute factor. Second, if the game field is judged as an intermediate level field because the death rate is 0, then what is the specific reason for a game field with eight main gods to suddenly upgrade to a high-level field?”

Song Beiliu turned around and walked towards the thick fog, Gao Yan followed, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the huge black stone that seemed to have engraved words, but it was not very clear, and with the dense fog, it was even more unclear.

Song Beiliu: "Because the eight main gods were sleeping in the abyss of the Styx at that time, the game field was an intermediate level field. But blood, life and acts of breaking the law of justice would anger the eight main gods and make them wake up from their deep sleep. Once the main gods wake up, the game field It will be upgraded to a high-level field. With it, there will be a sudden increase in the death rate."

Gao Yan: "That's why some players killed people in the game field, stained with blood, violated the law and justice, and awakened the main god."

Song Beiliu: "Don't you doubt that this player is God Chu?"

Gao Yan: "I know it can't be him."

Song Beiliu: "I'm really confident."

Gao Yan glanced at Song Beiliu: "If I don't have that confidence, I will kill you right now, Song Beiliu."

Song Beiliu shrugged: "I'm sorry first, but it's good for you to visit the Styx Kingdom."

Gao Yan: "What's the benefit?"

"Transcendence. There are countless souls here, the pine forest, the bottom of the Styx, the stone of death... suppressed a lot of souls. You can transcend them and raise nectar. Of course, this is indeed of greater benefit to me, whether it is nectar Or the Book of the Dead."

Song Beiliu was quite frank, or he was very frank from the very beginning, and his goal was resurrection from beginning to end.

Gao Yan: "I thought our cooperation had collapsed."

Song Beiliu waved his hands and shook his head, strongly expressing his hope that the cooperation will continue: "I promise to take you out of the Styx Kingdom safely. The only requirement is to continue the cooperation. And after the resurrection, I will give you the merits immediately, and I will never regret it. If you regret it, you can Let God Chu hunt me down everywhere."

Gao Yan narrowed his eyes: "Why do you hate your brother so much?"

Song Beiliu: "Haven't you heard the story of the terrifying twins?"

Gao Yan: "The emotional connection between twins is indeed stronger than that of ordinary siblings, but some are love, and some seem to be hate for no reason. In fact, there are prerequisites for hate. For example, you were separated when you were young, you grew up in an island country, you Brother is in Huaxia, you have no entanglements, maybe you haven't even met face to face, where is the hatred?"

Song Beiliu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It may be that we had an enmity in the previous life, and we were reincarnated as brothers and sisters in this life. We have no fate to be brothers and sisters, and instead we want to bite each other's throats. Probably... It's the hatred that surges in the blood. Only by doing this can the hatred be extinguished."

Gao Yan said coolly, "Didn't you just bleed dry?"

Song Beiliu smiled and said, "But my memory is still there. So I need to be resurrected and find my blood full of hatred and hatred."

Gao Yan didn't reply anymore, they stepped into the fog and couldn't see clearly, only the roar of ferocious beasts and some strange sounds could be heard.

After walking for a while, Gao Yan asked again: "Are you brothers and sisters?"

Song Beiliu: "It should be, my brother said that I was born 1 minute later than him."

"Back to the previous topic, who violated the fairness of the law? What happened back then? You should know, you lived in the playground for a while."

Song Beiliu mentioned it before, and Gao Yan remembered it.

Song Beiliu: "That's it. In addition to the other players who came to play a cutscene or get a green card on vacation, there were two teams of players who also came in. Their purpose is relatively obvious, and they are going to follow the prophecy of the Book of the Dead. But one of the teams A certain person used low-handed means to violate the fairness of the law, and even murdered priests in the temple to awaken the god of the underworld. The god of the underworld was furious, and the game field was upgraded, and none of the two teams of players involved was spared."

After a pause, Song Beiliu said again: "No, I was wrong. Someone was spared."

Gao Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Chu?"

"No, God Chu died at the hands of the enraged God of the Underworld."

Song Beiliu said this in a very casual tone, but he didn't hear Gao Yan's response, and even the footsteps stopped, and he couldn't help looking back curiously.However, Gao Yan looked confused, his face was quite pale, and his palms were still trembling slightly.

Gao Yan felt that someone had driven an iron nail into his heart, otherwise why would it be so painful?How could he be in such pain that he could almost suffocate?

After a long time, Gao Yan said hoarsely: "Song Beiliu, if you lie to me, no matter how big the profit is, I will kill you!"

Song Beiliu looked at him quietly, without a playful smile, but responded calmly, and then said: "I didn't lie to you, you should have guessed it yourself. At that time, Chu Shen was only an intermediate player. Although he was domineering in the game field , is notorious, but is he really going to survive against Shang Gaochang and the main god?"

Gao Yan was silent.

Song Beiliu: "The entire army was wiped out, and other players were even implicated. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Styx was closed and all players were expelled."

Gao Yan: "He is alive, Brother Chu is still alive."

Song Beiliu: "The Book of the Dead. The reason why the Kingdom of the Styx was closed was because the Book of the Dead was stolen. At that moment, who do you think stole the Book of the Dead? Chu Suibi, it was only him! Because the gods were furious at that time, the entire Kingdom of the Styx The security is heavy, and many players are even hated. Some of them have lived for more than ten years, and finally waited until the result of the green card was deported, do you know how angry they are?"

Gao Yan said coldly, "Even without Brother Chu, you wouldn't be able to steal the Book of the Dead."

"Why are you tearing me down like this?" Song Beiliu had been in the Styx Kingdom for a long time, and his purpose was the Book of the Dead. "Tsk, but Chu Shen is also awesome, and the situation is completely dead. If there is only one soul body left, if you don't make trouble, maybe you can get a green card and become an eternal citizen in the Styx Kingdom. It turned out that he was fine. Turn around Steal the Book of the Dead."

Having said that, Song Beiliu really admired Chu Suibi.

The book of the dead is not so easy to steal, but Chu Suibi was stolen, not to mention the successful resurrection, he also reaped the ugly rejection of the entire Styx kingdom.

Gao Yan frowned: "Is it so easy to be an eternal citizen of Styx Kingdom?"

"Of course it's impossible! You have to put your heart or soul on the balance. If it's heavier than the feather of truth, then I'm sorry, go to hell. Speaking of this, when the game field was upgraded to a high-level field , Didn’t many people die? Just when the scale was weighed, there was a soul standing on it but the scale didn’t move!”

Song Beiliu laughed loudly: "Where did you say that you are evil, but you can't even move, how dirty is your heart."

He smiled and looked at Gao Yan, seeing Gao Yan's gloomy eyes, with a pointed expression, his face twitched and he suddenly thought of a certain possibility.

"No way?" Song Beiliu said cautiously, "God Chu?"

Gao Yan: "I will convey it."

Song Beiliu: "..."

Gao Yan: "You just said that someone was spared...who is it?"

Song Beiliu: "It was the captain of the other team, who was the leader at the time, and he also violated the justice of the law, killed people in the temple, and angered the god of the underworld. His goal is the book of the dead, not the prophecy of the book of the dead, he is really ambitious Bobo. It's a pity that it failed, but God Chu took it away."

Gao Yan's tone was cold: "Who is that person?"

Song Beiliu: "...my brother."

Gao Yan suddenly looked at Song Beiliu, his pupils constricted, he really couldn't believe it, he didn't know there was such a relationship!

Song Beiliu looked at him with a smile: "So you know why our karmic entanglement is so deep?"

Not only the Eight-Armed Broken Palm Avalokitesvara, but also the matter of Chu Suibi.

Gao Yan: "He wants the book of the dead—" He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red with anger: "He wants the book of the dead! Why did he hurt Brother Chu?!"

Song Beiliu: "He is the kind of person who will use any means to achieve his goals."

Gao Yan: "Why does he want the Book of the Dead?"

Song Beiliu: "Resurrect me."

Gao Yan froze, then frowned: "Why?"

Song Beiliu said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, he's not for me, he's for himself. He's taken a path that's not easy to follow, maybe it's a cycle of cause and effect. He's a guy who does all kinds of bad things by any means, so he's doomed to be the last one. You will never get what you want. So he has been planning for a long time, using my bones to fill the hole under his feet and help him become a god."

"He wants my merits."

"It's a trash that didn't run away." Gao Yan commented, and at the same time silently dragged Song Beiliu's brother into the blacklist in his heart.

Song Beiliu laughed loudly: "He is worse than garbage, at least the garbage can be divided and recycled."

There was the sound of chains and hammers in the mist, as if someone was walking with a chain in the mist, and at the same time was hammering something with a hammer in his hand.

Song Beiliu: "There are a total of eight main gods suppressing the Styx Kingdom, but seven of them are still sleeping at the bottom of the Styx River, and only the god Osiris is awakened. He is in the temple in the central area and usually does not come out. The Styx Kingdom is divided into eight. The region is governed by the eight main gods and their ethnic groups."

The Egyptian god system is somewhat similar to Greek mythology, which belongs to family reproduction, but it is relatively simple.The brother-sister gods of air and moisture were bred from the first sun god Ra. The siblings fell in love and gave birth to other gods.

By analogy to the fifth generation of god Horus, a total of eight main gods were born, respectively in charge of the heaven and earth and all the natural elements that fill the heaven and earth.

Osiris, the god of the underworld, is the fourth-generation god. He is also the god of harvest and abundance, and his status in later generations is equal to the existence of the sun god Ra.

Osiris was put into a box by his brother and thrown into the Nile River Valley during the battle for kingship. After being rescued, he died again, this time he was chopped into a dozen pieces.But after the body was recovered, Osiris was resurrected, so he became the god of Hades and has many believers.

Song Beiliu pointed to the huge black stone that was suppressed on both sides of the Styx River and sent into the sky, and said: "That is the undead stone. The soul floats along the Styx River to the Kingdom of the Styx River. If it is not eaten by the fish at the bottom of the river, then everything will go well." Go ashore and be discovered by patrolling guards. If you want to gain eternity in the Styx kingdom, you must first engrave your name on the dead stone."

Gao Yan thought of the characters he saw vaguely just now, the characters carved on the black stone, and the sound of stone nails being more and more clear now.

"Did you hear that? The soul carved its own name on the other side of the black stone."

The black stone is very huge. After walking a long way from the river bank, I still can't see the other side of the black stone.

"Another place is the black pine forest. There are many beasts in the pine forest. They will eat soul bodies."

Egyptian mythology believes in nature, plants and animals, so gods of natural elements and animal gods usually appear in the gods.There are ferocious beasts hidden in the black pine forest of the Styx Kingdom, and they like to prey on malicious souls.

"The first level of the soul body is the Styx River. If you can't walk, it sinks at the bottom of the Styx River. It has been pecked by fish for years. The second level is the black stone engraving. How long does it take to see what the soul body has done. The third level It is a black pine forest, because beasts love ghosts. The fourth level is also the saddest level. The soul body stands on the balance and compares the weight with the truth feather. If it is lighter than the truth feather, it will stay, and if it is heavier than the truth feather, it will be torn to pieces .”

"But no soul body dares to stand on the balance and weigh the feather of truth."

Song Beiliu admires Chu Suibi very much because if he fails to pass the test, he will be torn to pieces immediately by the Lord God or thrown into hell to endure eternal suffering.

Gao Yan passed the first pass, and the second pass was accompanied by Song Beiliu, so there is no need to engrave on the black stone tablet for the time being.The third pass is the black pine forest, which is the forest they are going to enter now.

The forest is surrounded by fog all year round, and the trees tower into the sky.There's some dampness in the dirt underfoot, but not too much.

Gao Yan held a weapon and was vigilant. As soon as he entered the forest, he saw a male lion biting another soul body.Although they are all soul bodies, they are no different from human beings. Their throats were bitten off and their hands and feet were eaten.

The male lion looked up at Gao Yan and Song Beiliu, and roared at them violently.

Gao Yan's whole body tensed up, but the lion didn't pounce on it after roaring, but continued to eat it with its head buried.

Flicking and flicking their tails, they came around after they were full, walked around them a few times, and bumped them with their bodies from time to time.It feels...a bit friendly.

Song Beiliu: "They like to eat evil souls, but they will regard good souls as friends. You and I have a golden light of merit, and in their eyes, they are pure and innocent good souls. Therefore, the beasts in the black pine forest will not harm us."

Gao Yan understood, it turned out to be the case.

Well, the third level is over.

The author has something to say: The story about Osiris, the god of the underworld, is very interesting.

The two gods of the sky and the earth get together every moment to give birth to the stars.Later, they were forcibly separated, and they were only kept warm for five days.

Four children were born in five days, a pair of brothers and a pair of sisters.The two parties are married separately and together.

Osiris is very good, the sun god La Chuan is located in him.His brother was upset and jealous.

Later, Osiris was drunk and slept with his brother's wife (that is, his wife's sister, but also his sister), and his brother's wife gave birth to Anubis (the image that can often be seen, the head is a jackal)

Anubis was the original god of Hades, who later gave way to his father.

Osiris' brother couldn't take it anymore, tricked Osiris into a box and threw him into the Nile.Osiris' wife found him and rescued him.Osiris' brother chopped him down again to 14 yuan, and his wife and his brother's wife were helping to find his body parts, and finally found 13 yuan to resurrect him again.

But come on, little brother is gone.

So the wife of Osiris went to ask Ra, the sun god, and made a little brother of olive wood.The sun god Ra agreed and bestowed divine power.Then they gave birth to Horus. Horus avenged his father when he grew up, killed his father's brother, was passed down to him by the sun god, and became the king of Egypt.

After reading it, what should I say?

I think Osiris' brother is pretty miserable.
