Chapter 246
Chapter 246
"If you knew this was going to happen in advance, would you change it?"
Can he stop?Will he?
Priest Shushen's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see anything.But those memories hidden in the depths of my heart began to fill in and piece together a complete story bit by bit——
His wife had been the one neglected for so many years.
Because he couldn't be promoted, he spoke and acted strangely, and became more and more like a child.For this reason, he was extremely troubled, sought help everywhere but failed, and did not know how many tempers he had vented on his wife at that time—but he never thought that his wife was actually facing the same predicament.
Looking back now, my wife was suddenly obsessed with the mystery of immortality more than ten years ago. She once asked the priest of God Tut for advice, wondering whether people could live in this world forever and remain immortal.
If he was a little sober at that time, or cared about his wife a little, he should have noticed that her state was not right, and it should be that she realized that her life was coming to an end.
Then she chose not to die, to stay in this world, to take care of herself who was as mentally young as a child.
Thinking of this, Priest Shushen almost wanted to shout to the sky.
What is biting his heart now is not so much remorse, but infinite guilt.
How stupid he is!How selfish!
"I definitely will--"
If there is such an opportunity...
If he hadn't lost the sobriety and reason that belonged to an adult, Priest Shushen's shoulders trembled, and he could clearly hear the heart-piercing voice in his heart.
"Think about it again, if you keep your sanity, will you be able to save your wife?"
The calm female voice was still asking questions, there was no emotion in her voice, but to Priest Shu Shen, it sounded like a sharp and precise knife, mercilessly cutting open his heart and examining all kinds of things in it. Dirty and filthy.
Yes, he later came to sobriety, out of his childlike state of mind.
But he still didn't notice his wife's strange behavior, never.
He was not satisfied with the angelic state that Miss Biola had helped him stabilize, so he searched for ways to continue to advance.
Soon he was invited by the sun god Ra to join the opponent's camp on behalf of the god Shu, using the meritorious service he won as a ladder for promotion, he quickly became the priest of the god, and he took his wife to fight for the god Ra together.
He has never cared whether his wife can also be promoted smoothly, which seems to him to be a matter of course.
He even felt in his heart that he was already a priest of the gods, and it would be a shame if his wife only retained the status of an envoy...
So he did not hesitate to take his wife as an enemy of the Upper Egyptians, making her inevitably involved in those killings and injuries, reminding his wife with bloody facts that there is still a difference between life and death in this world.
Now, his beloved wife was reminded by himself, realized that she was dead, and turned into dust in an instant... Her soul disappeared like this, and she couldn't even enter the underworld.
That being the case, he is the only one in this world from now on, and raising the wind feather can bring fresh flowing wind to this world...
But no one will spread the drizzle to bring moist and refreshing coolness to the world.
That being the case, what's the point of his being promoted to the priesthood of God?
"No, I can not……"
He fully understands that there is no conflict between having a childlike mind and a happy life, and that the cause of the tragedy is still his unrealistic desire and neglect of his wife.
"Recall, at that time, was it possible for you to take the initiative to reject Ra's invitation?"
Actively refuse?
Can someone voluntarily refuse Ra's invitation?
Priest Shushen heard this in great grief, but was still slightly taken aback.
He quickly came to the conclusion: no.
At that time, he was in the resplendent and magnificent Temple of the Sun God in Heliopolis, and when he heard the request made by the god Ra, he was immediately moved and agreed without hesitation.
At that time, his wife was standing beside him, silently watching him worship the sun god, and he was still wondering why his wife was so ignorant and didn't know how to seize the opportunity...
He immediately took his wife together, claiming that his wife could represent the goddess Tefnut and exercise the authority of the rain god on the earth.
What did the sun god say at that time?
very good.You are a god-favoured couple created by heaven and earth.The authority over the wind and the rain belongs to both of you.
In view of the particularity of these two powers, as long as you have accumulated enough meritorious service, you can immediately be promoted to priests of the gods, and walk in the world instead of the gods without any problems.
Will there be any problem?
Priest Shu Shen suddenly felt intense grief and indignation.
How could the sun god fail to see that his wife was dead?
Just a little reminder, let him avoid all life and death from now on, let him take his wife away from Egypt, and go to a place where there are no people.
Even if he regressed back to a child's mind, he and his wife probably wouldn't mind.
Even as long as he gives a hint to ask him to find the god Osiris and ask for a solution, even if he is required to enter the underworld, he will go without hesitation.
I see--
It turns out that what the Sun God needs is just him and her, a powerful Asut who can be used to deal with Asut in Upper Egypt.As for what kind of fate they themselves will endure, He doesn't care at all.
He was originally a ruthless god...
That's how it used to be.
It was like that before the great upheaval.
There is no exception to his son and goddess.
Priest Shushen was in a trance, recalling a lot at once.
When he slowly raised his head again, he finally gradually realized the fact: his wife had passed away, even her soul had dissipated, and there was nowhere else to go.
What caused all this, besides his own indifference, was Ra's indifference and deceit.
Reminiscent of everything he saw with his own eyes in Upper Egypt, it was always clear what was right and what was wrong—it was just that he was always blinded by the pursuit of utilitarianism and turned a blind eye.
Priest Shushen straightened up, feeling the blurring of his eyes, as water droplets hit the back of his hand one after another, reminding him that he was still alive...
"God said, don't speculate on your destiny, go after what you really want."
"I always thought I could rise to become a decent priest of the gods, but never knew that all I really wanted was an ordinary life with my wife—"
"I'm stupid, naughty, and sometimes stubborn, and my wife will coax me with a pot of honey-soaked walnuts..."
"I am now. I only wish that at that time, I would go all out to make my wife happy..."
"Great god, I no longer dare to despise you, slander you, and ignore your teachings."
Kneeling down on his knees, Priest Shushen, who confessed to God Amon, was full of tears and could not see clearly.
"Now that I have nothing, I don't know if you are willing to forgive this lonely and regretful old man for his offenses to you."
"Uh..." Before he lost consciousness in pain, he seemed to hear the cold female voice telling him in a low voice: "Fate is unpredictable, once you change your mind, changes will happen."
"He seems to be alive..."
A hoarse voice sounded, and someone was reaching out to pull his eyelids.
Priest Shushen's old eyes were dim, and he vaguely saw that it was Kong Si.The on-guard killer's eyes were blood red at the moment, and there were thin black down on his temples, and thick black feathers on the back of his head.
This scene wasn't frightening at all. A moment later, a bull head belonging to the god of war Mengtu squeezed away from the killer and appeared in front of his eyes.Those round eyes sparkled like cowbells.
"He's still alive..."
The rough voice commented casually.
"Get out of the way-"
An older, weather-beaten voice sounded, "Let me see him."
Priest Shushen suddenly saw his wife looking at him, with a beautiful face and exquisite makeup, just like before.
He forgot everything in an instant, opened his eyes wide, and completely forgot that it was not his wife's voice.
Then, he saw an identical head, the same face, the same brows and eyes growing out of his wife's shoulders in an instant, with eager and curious eyes looking at him.
This... can't be true.
Priest Shushen passed out again in a blink of an eye.
"Fool, fool..."
When Priest Shu woke up again, his wife Tefnut, the envoy of Tefnut, was patting his face gently with her hands, softly calling out the nicknames they would only use when they get along in private.
Priest Shushen sat up and looked around blankly.
The surroundings are no longer the city of Upper Egypt that was destroyed because of him. At this moment, he is in the deserted wilderness, the surrounding trees are lush and luxuriant, the breeze is gentle, and the water vapor is moist.
"I... where am I?"
"Master Shushen Priest..." His wife said with a smile, "Before you ran to compete with your opponent alone, it is said that you suffered a small injury, your friend found me and sent us here together, I want you to rest well."
"Your friends left you and ran away, which shocked me. Fortunately, you are fine!"
The envoy of Tefnut scolded her friends who complained about her husband, but lowered her head to wipe away the faintly visible tears from the corners of her eyes.
Priest Shushen held his breath for a while, and reached out to wipe the corners of his wife's eyes.
His hand froze there immediately, without moving for a long time, as if he was fighting with heaven and man in his heart, convincing himself to believe something unbelievable.
After a while, he let go of his hand, then smiled at his wife, and asked softly, "Do you think this place is good? If you like it, we will live here, for a long time, forever."
The envoy of Tefnut was startled, and asked coyly, "You don't want to go to the Sun God to accumulate merits and strive for the next promotion?"
She obviously likes this place very much, but she also cares about her husband's wish.
Priest Shushen smiled and took his wife's hand: "No, it's not necessary."
"I know what I really want."
In Thebes, at the wartime meeting at the demigod level, the fennec fox demigod stuck out his tongue at Elyse, saying that he didn't even bother to scold him this time.
"Women, mother-in-law's women, abuse good people, just being loved is useless..."
Alicia wrinkled her nose unceremoniously, imagining in her heart that the other party might be complaining about herself.
Senmut sat beside her, smiling at her gently: "Alich, I'm afraid your deceit this time did not bring you any disappointment."
