Chapter 325: Transmigrating into the Egyptian God Chapter: The Slave Trader Who Ended Miserably (3)
The ancient temple looks particularly solemn and majestic against the backdrop of the setting sun. The palm trees and papyrus swaying in the breeze, together with the stone walls and statues, form a beautiful picture.
From time to time, clergymen would walk through the temple. They walked without making any sound, and sometimes they would suddenly appear in front of the team, which was quite scary.
"Please follow me. The Lord God is just resting in the temple. You may have to wait a little longer."
Lord God is the respectful name given to Set by the temple believers.
"Haha, it's our honor to wait for the Lord God." After saying this, he bowed to the air.
Mr. He tried to get closer to the clergy and had a pleasant chat in a low voice.
Qi Heng pulled Horus, but suddenly Horus stopped and pointed to a temple path.
Those deep blue eyes seemed to be saying: I want to go there.
At the end of the path, there was a barrier similar to a gate. Qi Heng was worried and couldn't help but hold Horus' hand tightly, but when he thought of the little guy's special identity, he finally let go.
End of the team -
Horus squeezed Qi Heng's palm, expressing his farewell.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again, or maybe we will never meet again, Qi Heng thought calmly.
He tilted his head and gestured to the child behind him as if he was walking faster.
Finally, Horus left. The boy usually concealed his strength, but this time he ran away like a clergyman, without making any sound.
After passing through several corridors, Qi Heng pretended to be surprised.
"Where's the child?! It's terrible, the child is missing!"
"What? Qi Heng, didn't I ask you to watch?!"
"But...but I was stunned while looking at the temple, and when I came back to my senses, the boy was gone."
The more Qi Heng talked, the lower his head hung. They had already arrived outside the temple.
As the final moments approached, the most important slave disappeared.
"Xiao Heng, I told you that I'll leave that kid in your care. If he gets lost, it's your responsibility."
The gaze that fell on Qi Heng's face was as real as a substance, filled with strong calculation and scrutiny.
The chin was pinched by He Lao and turned left and right.
"Time is urgent. Since he is missing, let Xiao Heng take his place."
Qi Heng pretended to be scared and looked at He Lao in shock, with an expression that asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You have a very alluring temperament. Maybe if someone in the temple takes a fancy to you, you'll become rich." There was something meaningful in his words.
A beautiful slave, not favored by Lord Set, but there is a certain probability that he will be favored by other clergy in the temple.
Qi Heng slapped away the hand that was pinching his chin, and his hand unconsciously reached for his trouser pocket, where there was a bag of powder that had escaped the temple's inspection.
"Don't talk when you get in. If you're not chosen, I'll settle the matter with you about that runaway kid when you get out!"
"Master He, I'm sorry that your slave escaped, but the Lord is still resting. Please stop talking."
Qi Heng pursed his lips as he was thinking about what to do next.
His head was suddenly flooded with a large amount of memories that did not belong to him. When Qi Heng saw the perspective clearly, he was surprised to find that they were the memories of the original owner!
But the more he looked, the stiffer Qi Heng's smile became.
The caravan the original owner belonged to kidnapped and abused Horus, so all members of the caravan had their legs and arms cut off by the magic goddess Isis and were turned into human pigs and died in agony.
It wasn't over after death. The original owner, He Lao and others went to the underworld and were treated specially by Osiris, who received a message from Isis. They experienced various inhumane punishments such as being fryed in oil and chopped into pieces several times.
It's true that slave traders should be punished, but this is so tragic!
There was no mission set, and only four small words appeared at the end of the memory: Please survive.
The time of the original owner’s death... Qi Heng recalled it briefly, and he could no longer maintain his last bit of calmness.
Young Horus was severely wounded in the Temple of Set, partly from the abuse of the caravan and partly from Set.
During this period, the magic goddess Isis had not yet overthrown Set with her son.
She couldn't do anything to Set, so naturally, the original owner and her group became Isis's outlet.
Although Qi Heng did not abuse Horus as soon as he came in as the original owner remembered, it is a fact that the He Lao caravan abducted Horus, and this cannot be changed.
If Horus was seriously injured in the temple, there was no doubt that the original owner and his companions would once again become Isis's punching bags, which would not be much better than in memory.
Damn, the memory came too late, Horus is gone! I have to find a way to protect him.
The few of them waited until the sun went down, and He Lao finally couldn't help but ask
"My Lord...Is the Lord still asleep?"
The clergyman ignored him and He Lao shut up in embarrassment.
Qi Heng's patience was completely exhausted. He used the drugs in his trouser pocket to knock out a dozen people at the door two or three times, and rushed towards the path where Horus entered.
Be sure to catch up!!
[Ding-Abnormal energy waves are detected somewhere in the temple. Does Mr. Qi need navigation? 】
It is system No. 010.
Qi Heng's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "Yes!"
[Navigation is starting...Started successfully. 】
Qi Heng was extremely anxious when he was on the road, but when he was close to his destination he slowed down unconsciously.
There was no sound of fighting, and it was very quiet ahead...
The route was indeed the same path that Horus had walked, and Qi Heng felt more at ease.
Behind the barrier is a long corridor.
I pushed the door open carefully and looked out to see a man lying on a stone bench in the corridor, his legs casually crossed.
The face was covered by a black, animal-like crown, with two rectangular ears and a pointed mouth. Qi Heng couldn't recognize what animal it was.
There was a circle of golden ornaments around her collarbone and arms, her upper body was naked, and her lower body was covered with a cloth that reached her knees.
Looks like he’s sleeping soundly…?
Qi Heng looked around for Horus, bypassing the man.
No... Strange...
[What's going on with the system? Horus is not here.]
[Ahem, the system doesn't know either, but the energy waves here are indeed abnormal. After testing, it seems that the person sleeping on the stone chair has fallen into a nightmare.]
Unable to figure out what was going on, she had no choice but to return her gaze to the man's body.
[Who is he? Is this a temple employee slacking off?]
[Ahem, the system doesn't know either. Since this isn't the person Mr. Qi is looking for, then please leave immediately. The person who is sleeping will wake up soon.]
【Um. 】
Qi Heng turned around and was about to leave, when the next moment a man on a stone chair in the distance shouted "No!!"
The long-eared animal head crown made of unknown material fell to the ground with a thud, revealing the man's blood-red hair that grew to his waist. The hair made his skin look particularly white.
Qi Heng hurriedly quickened his pace.
"Hey, now that you're here, why don't you come out and see me? What's the point of hiding? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The voice flashed behind Qi Heng in the blink of an eye. The person was approaching. Qi Heng turned around without thinking and kicked him with a sweeping kick, ready to kick the person away and run away.
"You are a guest from the East who came from afar and broke into my bedroom without permission. I haven't even settled the score with you yet. Why did you take action first?"
The man raised his head and easily blocked it with the back of his hand.
Qi Heng frowned, "...You are Set."
"Bingo, you guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward.
So, guest, can you tell me why you broke into my bedroom?"
The man put on the animal head again and looked at Qi Heng closely.
“Respected Lord God, I am your loyal believer. It was an accident that I came here. I did not mean to disturb your rest.
Please allow me to leave."
Qi Heng half-knelt on the ground, and his tone was as respectful as possible.
Seth stroked his chin and said, "In the afternoon, a kid who didn't know how to do anything broke in... and I beat him up."
Qi Heng raised his head suddenly and said in a hopeful tone, "Excuse me, where is that child? He should be from our caravan and got lost accidentally. I'm really sorry for offending you."
Seth crossed his arms, tilted his head and looked at Qi Heng, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he curled his lips
"Okay, come with me."
The corridor was silent, and Qi Heng kept his head down the whole time. Unexpectedly, Set took the initiative to speak, "But, I suggest you don't even think about taking him away again. His parents will come over and snatch the child away soon."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord God. I just wanted to visit him..."
Look at how badly you beat him. If possible, Qi Heng would heal Horus's wounds even at the cost of exposing his light power. Otherwise, if the goddess of magic sees him, Qi Heng would have to follow the same path as his original owner.
Seth looked at the scenery along the way. "What's your name?"
"My Lord, my name is... Qi Heng."
The small room next to the bedroom opened, and Horus was thrown casually onto a bed, covered in wounds.
There were gunshot wounds, sword wounds, and fist wounds, and his little face was swollen like a pig's head.
If it weren't for the conspicuous slave clothes prepared by He Lao, Qi Heng really wouldn't have recognized him.
Dark clouds gathered high in the sky and the earth was shaking.
Qi Heng's heart skipped a beat, and his ominous premonition reached its peak. He didn't care about Seth who was still watching the show, and hurried into the house to use his power of light.
