Chapter 348: Transmigrating into the Egyptian God Chapter: The Slave Trader Who Ended Miserably (26)
In excitement, Seth wrapped his snake tail around Qi Heng's ankle, looking very pitiful.
Qi Heng was stunned. It seemed that this had indeed happened a few times. The little guy excitedly led him to the river bank.
But there would always be accidents, either a big fish would emerge from the river or a monster would jump out of the woods, and Qi Heng would have to pick up the little snake and run away.
As for the fat bird and the little clay man, during the three months of wandering, what they most often did was to sleep in Qi Heng's shoulders or bag, and they rarely got out of bed.
"I'm sorry..." He paused and looked around, lowering his voice, "Is there a way to leave the temple?"
Seth's eyes rolled and he said, "The guards here are very strict, not yet.
But little Qiheng can stay in the temple first. There is an attic next to the temple, which stores many classics that are open to the temple servants. Instead of wandering outside without knowing the destination, why not go in and look through the books first?
Maybe I can find what little Qi Heng wants."
Qi Heng's eyes lit up. What Seth said made sense. "Where is it? Please take me there!"
"Eat your fill before you go. Your stomach is still growling."
"... "
As for the fat bird and the little clay man, after thinking for a while, Qi Heng felt that there was nothing to question. After all, he had not had much contact with Nut, the god of the sky, and Geb, the god of the earth, and they were still strangers to each other.
Besides, their clones would fall into the underworld because of Qi Heng's involvement, so let's do it this way for now, it won't be too late to separate after leaving the underworld.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng glanced at the fat bird and the clay figure who were sitting together but keeping a distance across the table.
Starry Sky Little Fat Bird looked up while eating to secretly check Qi Heng's attitude, and then met the eyes of the man who was looking at him.
There was no disgust or hidden displeasure in those eyes, and he even nodded politely when he saw the little fat bird looking at him.
Nut's heart trembled and his bird face became hot.
The little clay man Gaibu was stuffing food into his stomach while watching Qi Heng's eating show opposite him, as if he would develop a bigger appetite if he watched it a few more times.
As for the red snake next to it, Qi Heng took a quick glance at it and decisively looked away.
Seth: “…?” What’s that expression? Do you dislike me?
Nut and Geb just like to look at themselves, and they are not like Set who always likes to do weird things. Thinking of this, Qi Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating and drinking, Qi Heng, led by the temple attendants, went to the library where the classics were stored. With his ancestor Set coiled around his neck, the temple attendants did not dare to neglect him and gave him the green light all the way.
Then... Qi Heng, who successfully entered the library, met eyes with Osiris who was sitting in the main seat.
Osiris glanced at the well-groomed Qi Heng, then paused at the man's neck for a moment before retracting his gaze as if unintentionally and continuing with his unfinished business, without any intention of saying hello.
Seeing this, Qi Heng's tense body relaxed slightly and he turned his attention back to the classics.
《The Complete List of Underworld Species》
On the Possibility of Resurrection from the Dead
"The Complete Collection of Underworld Plants. Volume 1"
Two or Three Things Between Me and Pluto
...
Records of the Dark Abyss Pavilion
There is no sun in the underworld, so the only way to tell time is by clocks.
Qi Heng sat cross-legged among the pile of classics, flipping through them one by one.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed after reading each book.
The fat bird and the little clay figurine followed to the classics, and the two little ones curled up beside Qi Heng's legs and took a nap.
Seth stared at Qi Heng the whole time, observing the changes in his expression.
Qi Heng rubbed his brows and held the last book on the bookshelf, "Records of Mingyuan Pavilion" in his hand.
Before he even opened the book, he looked up as if he had sensed something and met the gaze of Osiris, who had appeared next to the bookshelf at some point.
Qi Heng choked, lowered his head and opened the records of Mingyuan Pavilion to look through them, avoiding that person's sight.
I have already read through the mountain of classics and no longer expect to find any useful information in the temple.
But as he read, Qi Heng's eyes widened and his hands unconsciously quickened the pace of turning the pages.
Qi Heng actually saw Mu Anze's name in a book of unofficial history of the underworld.
Wherever the man appeared, there was often another man standing beside him, but Mingyuan Pavilion did not have a specific record of his image.
Her long curly light chestnut hair was painted brown, her skin was as white as snow, and she was wearing Egyptian clothing.
The person could not be recognized as Mu Anze from the single image, but Mu Anze used his real name!!!
The records of Mingyuan Pavilion say that the person who prevented the collapse of the underworld a thousand years ago was named Mu Anze. In small print, it is noted that he is suspected to be an Eastern god who passed by Egypt to offer help.
At that time, Osiris was not yet Hades. There was no Hades in the underworld at that time, there was no order, and it was in chaos.
Qi Heng remembered that the director and Mu Anze entered this world to carry out a mission to save the world...
The underworld collapsed thousands of years ago, but they have stopped the collapse... Has their mission been completed and they have left this world?
Then why was the time when I entered the world different from theirs, thousands of years later?
Qi Heng once imagined that the opportunity for the magic fish to escape from the world was Mu Anze and the director.
As long as I meet them, even just one of them, escaping from the small world should not be a problem.
There is no record of the true gods in this world successfully stepping outside the universe, not to mention that Qi Heng is just a false foreign god.
The more records Qi Heng read, the more he understood how difficult it was to step into the universe on his own. He suddenly felt a little confused.
Now even finding Mu Anze and the director has become a question mark. Is it really possible to get out by myself?
The man sat cross-legged in the corner of the bookshelf, staring blankly at the last two pages of the records in Mingyuan Pavilion. Mu Anze and another god who wished to remain anonymous suddenly disappeared after saving the underworld, and there was no trace of them since.
The description of disappearance is very much like completing a mission and leaving.
So I have been forgotten in this small world?
No, there must be other ways to leave... Qi Heng shook his head, closed the records of Mingyuan Pavilion and continued to read the next one.
The little red snake and the fat bird clay figurine huddled quietly beside Qi Heng, and countless days and nights passed like this.
Osiris would occasionally come over to check whether Qi Heng was dead or alive when he was free.
After all, the man stayed in the library for two full weeks.
His eyes were full of words, densely packed small words, which danced happily together and occasionally flowed like a river, making Qi Heng dazzled and his head buzzing. He was completely immersed in the world of the book, not caring about the outside world.
"Qi Heng."
Who is calling me? Qi Heng thought confusedly.
"Hey, are you looking for Mu Anze?"
Qi Heng was startled and quickly raised his head from the pile of books and looked towards the source of the sound.
Osiris was sitting cross-legged not far away, looking down at a book, which was the record of Mingyuan Pavilion that Qi Heng had read before.
"Don't be surprised. You would just flip through other books and put them back without showing any interest, but you have read this one over and over again for no less than five times."
Osiris pointed to the penultimate page where Mu Anze's name was written. "I remember this name. There is a more detailed record of the underworld disaster in the top-level collection. Would you like to take a look?"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and saw Qi Heng staring at him with a vigilant look on his face, almost writing the six words: Are you so kind?
Osiris avoided that gaze and explained calmly, "For Set's sake, I'll help you this time."
