I’ll add some practice in the real world - Chapter 410
c402 401 The Trial of Libra
“What kind of energy fluctuation is this?”
“It’s actually somewhat similar to the martial arts aura!” Linglong’s eyes narrowed as she looked up and down at the ancient wall that emitted scarlet light.
The portraits of the gods displayed above all disappeared after receiving the blood spattered by the clones, leaving only a totem brand similar to a scale.
The origin of this scale is not small, and it can often be seen in the myths and legends of the earth.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis, the messenger of the underworld, had such a scale in his hand to measure good and evil, which could be used to measure the souls of the deceased with the help of the “Heart” ritual.
The heart of the deceased is placed on one side of the scale, and the feathers of the goddess Matt, who represents justice, truth, and order, are placed on the other side.
If the heart is lighter than a feather, it means that the deceased was a good person in front of him and was able to pass the judgment and enter reincarnation to be resurrected and gain eternal life in the afterlife.
If the heart is heavier than a feather, it means that the deceased is guilty, and his soul and heart will be devoured by the demon Amit, who looks like a hybrid of a lion, a crocodile, and a hippopotamus, and disappear completely from the world.
In ancient Greek mythology, there is also such a steelyard.
It was Themis, the goddess of order who symbolized law and justice, and one of the Twelve Titans. In order to judge the right and wrong among humans, the blindfolded Themis transformed the stars in Libra into golden scales. Establish order and justice in the world.
The mere appearance of such a scale on the ancient Wall of Sighs seems to imply that as long as one passes the judgment of this scale, one can pass through the boundary that separates life and death.
As for Eugene, who triggered this abnormal scene, after seeing this scale appearing in front of him, the fanatical look in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
I saw him picking up the sheepskin scroll in his hand, speaking plausibly, whether he was talking in ancient Greek or ancient Egyptian, and after uttering ancient musical scales like “Sacrifice!” “Judgment!”, he burned these words on the wall. The scales above are materialized.
The scarlet light continued to entangle, outlining a physical scale made of red-gold energy on the ancient Wall of Sighs.
And directly behind the scales, a strange beast that looked like a lion, a crocodile, or a hippopotamus with a single horn on its head emerged from the pattern on the wall. With a final roar, it landed lightly in front of the scales and pushed it away. Pushed in front of Eugene.
“people!”
“Give me your flesh and blood!”
“Only if you pass the judgment of the goddess, will you be qualified to pass through the wall of the underworld and go to the garden of reincarnation!” The alien beast’s unicorn exudes five-color spiritual rainbow light.
As soon as it spread, a special language with its own translation function was outlined in the minds of several people alive in the venue.
Even Linglong was slightly startled when she saw this strange beast appear. Compared to the crazed Bai Ze she encountered before, this unicorn-like beast turned out to be extremely solemn and solemn.
It’s as if he was born to judge human beings!
“Is this the demon Amit from ancient Egyptian mythology?”
“Or is it the Haechi from the Mystical Scripture?” Linglong tightened her grip on the bronze scepter in her hand. The various characteristics of the strange beast seemed to confirm the creatures in the myths of the distant earth.
The so-called xiezhi (xiezhi) is also a prison beast in ancient Chinese mythology, representing justice and judgment.
There is a record in “Yunji Qizhu”: “At that time, a mythical beast came from foreign countries, named Xie Zhi, like a deer, with one horn.”
“There is a Xie Zhi in Dongwang Mountain, which is a mythical beast. It existed before Yao, and it can bring evil. It looks like a beast, with one horn and four legs. If the king is in prison, the lawsuit will be settled.” This is the original text from “The Classic of Mountains and Seas”.
And at the entrance of the court on earth, you can often see the stone carvings of the Xie Zhi.
People who don’t understand think it is a stone lion guarding the gate. In fact, its appearance represents the “uprightness” and “purity and justice” of the judiciary.
As for why Eugene’s actions led to this Haechi’s trial.
Linglong is unknown.
At this moment, she just wants to kill this old boy as soon as possible to avoid any accidents in Ye Changmengduo!
What Linglong didn’t expect was that just when she hesitated for a moment, Eugene in the distance had already arrived in front of the left tray of the golden scale.
I saw a look of fanaticism in his eyes. He reached out and took out a sharp knife from his combat uniform. He stabbed the chest of the clone whose neck he had wiped and took out a bloody knife. heart.
Putting his heart on the tray, Eugene looked up at the Haechi and whispered the sacrificial words he learned from the ancient parchments: “When you are placed in the scales, come with the feather of truth… Let not the judgment be against me when I am weighed…and let not the judge cry before me…”
As the “Book of the Dead” sacrificial inscriptions echoed in the hall, the golden scales vibrated slightly, and an ancient image of the goddess lit up from the Wall of Sighs behind it.
The goddess stood in the center of the gods, with a chaotic and disorderly darkness behind her. It wasn’t until she had some control over it that the chaos was able to calm down. Yin and Yang were clearly defined, the earth was born, and all things were nurtured.
“The emperor, the queen of earth, the blue sky and the yellow spring, are in charge of the cycle of life and death!”
“This scale actually belongs to her?” Linglong murmured softly. The intertwined images of several mythological systems made it difficult for her to distinguish the specific origin of this goddess.
Eugene, on the other hand, stared at the statue of the goddess, and the ritual words in his mouth became louder and louder.
Until the green feather gently flew out from the bronze wall and landed on the right side of the scales.
The originally unbalanced scale beam actually tilted, as if it were weighing the cloned heart being sacrificed.
“eternal life!”
“Eternal life lies ahead!”
Eugene looked at the strange noise in front of him, and the anticipation and enthusiasm in his eyes reached their peak at this moment.
But what he didn’t expect was that with the fall of the green feather, the expected door to the Garden of the Gods did not open.
Instead, there was a low roar, and the Haechi guarding the scales actually stuck his head in front of Eugene with his teeth bared: “Human!”
“This is not your heart!”
“You deceived the goddess! You should be punished!”
With this sentence, Haechi opened his big mouth and instantly swallowed Eugene.
“No…impossible! I didn’t cheat on the goddess!”
“All the rituals are completed according to the Dead Sea Documents!”
“This is my heart! This is the heart of my youth!”
“It has the same genes as me! The same DNA helix! It’s my heart! It’s mine… it’s mine…” Eugene screamed in panic, as if he was defending something.
But Haechi ignored his sophistry. The gust of wind sucked out of his mouth seemed to come from the underworld. With just one sweep, Eugene and the other clones following him were all drawn into pieces. A mummy-like corpse finally fell to the ground and shattered into ashes.
After completing this step, Haechi looked unsatisfied, and then turned his gaze to Linglong in the distance: “Human! It’s your turn!”
There are still 3 chapters left, all of them should be finished before next Monday~
