"The time is up, I allow you to guess a word in my real name within two minutes. If you guess right, the poisonous scorpion in the desert river will not crawl out. If you guess wrong, at least one soul is needed to calm down the poisonous scorpion. Angry." The boatman looked at the players on the boat, shook his head from side to side, and suddenly stopped: "Are you two teams?"

There are a total of nine players on board, five of them are Xie Sanqiu and the others, and the other four are gathered on the right side of Xie Sanqiu and the five. Opposite them is the Lulu boatman.

The two players looked at each other, and both looked away.

Xie Sanqiu: "Not too good."

Tang Ze: "I didn't expect that."

Su Jiang: "I'm in trouble."

Yang Mian and Yu Xiaojie were confused: "...what the hell are you talking about?"

As soon as the words fell, the egret boatman burst into laughter: "You are foreign players!!"

Yu Xiaojie: "Damn it! How did he suddenly know?"

Tang Ze: "Because only players will be grouped together and divided into teams. It seems that the nine people on board are all players."

That's right, although there were nine people on board, Xie Sanqiu and others were not sure whether the other four were players at first. Or they didn't take other players into playthrough consideration in the first place.

However, the egret boatman suddenly noticed that they were divided into two groups, and at the same time reminded them that both were players.

Yang Mian understood, she said: "If it is an ordinary soul body, they should not know each other, and they will never form a team."

"Foreign players—the fallen ones who blaspheme and offend the gods of the underworld!" The egret boatman burst out with strong hatred, looked around the nine players coldly, and said, "I decided to change the rules, and you two teams will say my real name separately. .”

"When I arrive in the city of Osiris, I will give three reminders. Whoever can tell his real name at the end can safely cross the desert river. The remaining team will stay and be buried in the desert river. "

"Every three minutes, I will give you a hint. Within two minutes, answer my question."

Yu Xiaojie: "Why is there a total interval of five minutes?"

"Of course it's because the poisonous scorpions can only stay in the desert river for five minutes."

Five minutes later, the huge poisonous scorpion will break through the quicksand of the desert, appear on the surface facing the sun, and attack the souls on the ship because of hunger.

The so-called desert river is actually a desert roadway. The river is full of quicksand, and there are seven poisonous scorpions hidden under the quicksand. The seven poisonous scorpions act as oxen and horses to pull the boat and drive quickly on the quicksand.

Egret boatman: "Who will tell me which word is part of my real name?"

The players of the two teams did not move. After a while, someone said: "It's the shadow shuwt!"

Xie Sanqiu and Tang Ze said at the same time: "Wrong."

Egret boatman: "Wrong!"

As soon as the words fell, the big ship jolted violently and gradually sank, and its speed slowed down. At the same time, the quicksand in front of the ship and on the left and right sides quickly collapsed to form huge pits, and then a black luminous carapace appeared in front of everyone.

Crash—quicksand slipped down like water, and the poisonous sunlight shone on the back of the poisonous scorpion and the two large pincers waving in the air, emitting a purple-blue light. Two poisonous scorpions appeared in front of the ship, and on the left and right sides, making a total of six poisonous scorpions.

The upper body of the six poisonous scorpions is human, but their hands are two pincers. They stopped pulling the boat and turned to attack the players on the boat. The opponents were agile and powerful. The most terrifying thing was the blue-purple light that was clearly visible at the tip of their tails.

The egret boatman steered the rudder steadily, and turned his head behind him to watch the players' embarrassment.

Yang Mian was the first to Xie Sanqiu and pulled out a long knife to cut off the head of a poisonous scorpion that climbed up. The poisonous scorpion fell into the quicksand pit and jumped out again after a few seconds.

The severed head grew back on the scorpion's neck again, leaving no trace on the scorpion's neck.

"Fuck, it's an earthworm? The regenerative ability is so strong!"

Xie Sanqiu: "It should be related to the quicksand. You try to cut off the poisonous scorpion's head and then drag his body and throw it on the boat."

In the chaos, a loud whistle attracted the attention of Yang Mian and the others. They looked over and found that it was Su Jiang.

Su Jiang leaned against the side of the boat leisurely and said, "The poisonous scorpions don't attack us."

Yang Mian withdrew her sword and squatted down immediately. The poisonous scorpion that was fighting her jumped over her head and rushed towards another team of players. The six poisonous scorpions attacked another team of players together, and there were only four players in that team, so it was a bit difficult to deal with the poisonous scorpions with regeneration ability.

Among the four players, only three were actually dealing with the poisonous scorpion. The three players surrounded one of the players, and that player was standing quietly on the deck, and suddenly looked towards them. These four players are quite special, they are all wearing gray robes, with wide hoods covering their faces, they are quite mysterious and low-key.

Xie Sanqiu noticed that the three players raised their gray robes during the fight, and underneath the robes were bright yellow and bright red robes. His eyes narrowed immediately, and he looked suspiciously at the protected player in the middle.

After careful observation, Xie Sanqiu found that the player's wrist was wrapped with a string of Buddhist beads. It was a very special string of beads, because each of the beads was as big as a walnut, and it looked weird when worn on a thin wrist.

The six poisonous scorpions started to join forces to deal with the players. They all used their tail poison-needles to weave a fine network to trap the four players, and at the last moment they jumped onto the boat. The tail poison-needles were as fast as lightning penetration

The player's defense hit the heart of the fourth player.

The fourth player was the one being protected. He raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and touched the tail of the poisonous scorpion with his palm. With a light tap, the poisonous scorpion began to petrify from the end of the tail.

In just a few seconds, the entire huge poisonous scorpion was completely petrified.

One of the other three players raised his leg and kicked it hard, and the poisonous scorpion instantly turned into powder.

The remaining six poisonous scorpions withdrew like a tide.

The boat that had stopped and got stuck in the quicksand pit continued to start and moved forward at a high speed.

Egret boatman: "Poisonous scorpions always hold grudges. If you kill it, next time it will chase after it ten times more crazily."

The player who was stung by the poisonous scorpion spoke in a hoarse voice, like scratching sandpaper.

"Talk about the second tip."

"You were stung in the heart by the tail of the poisonous scorpion, but you didn't die?" the egret boatman was surprised, but at the same time he became a little curious.

The players had no time to explain, and only urged him to give the second hint.

Egret boatman: "Isis, the goddess of fertility and magic, gave birth to Horus. She fled to avoid Seth's pursuit. She passed through the city of two sisters and knocked on the door of a rich man's house to ask for her. The mistress of the rich man's house refused coldly. After that, The mistress of the poor family took in Isis and Horus. The scorpion beside the goddess Isis wanted to avenge her, so she stung the child of the rich mistress with the poisonous needle on its tail at night."

"The child was dying, and there was no one to save it. The rich mistress begged the goddess Isis, who brought the child back to life with all her magic."

"One word of my real name is in the story, you can find it."

Yang Mian: "I can only extract two names from the story, Isis and Horus."

Su Jiang: "Understand and pass."

Yang Mian: "I guessed right?"

Su Jiang: "No, you guessed wrong."

Yang Mian: "Except for the correct answer, don't praise me at other times, lest I swell."

Su Jiang made an 'OK' gesture to show that he understood.

Xie Sanqiu: "The four players on the opposite side are Tantric disciples."

"how do you know?"

"I saw the esoteric Zen clothes under their gray robes, and the player who was stung by a poisonous scorpion tail needle but survived. His skills are very strong."

"I can see it." Yu Xiaojie gestured with his eyes: "I can see clearly with both eyes. With a light slap of the palm, the whole poisonous scorpion was turned into powder. But Tantra...I always feel that I have heard it somewhere, so familiar. a feeling of."

Yang Mian: "Ignore the opponent's players for now, let's summarize what happened just now. The poisonous scorpion will attack the player who answered first and answered incorrectly, and the player who did not answer will not be attacked. But assuming the player answers correctly, then I guess the target of the poisonous scorpion attack It's the player who didn't answer."

Yu Xiaojie: "But it sounds like it's safest not to rush to answer."

"Don't worry, the player on the other side also thinks the same as you." Tang Ze said, "But I guess the poisonous scorpion will chase and kill both sides."

Yu Xiaojie: "Okay, in the last prompt, which one is the word in the boatman's real name?"

Everyone answered concisely and clearly: "I don't know."

Yu Xiaojie: "...I don't know!!"

Tang Ze: "There are very few relevant records about the story about the boatman in Egyptian mythology. The only record is another version that is contrary to the current popular Egyptian mythology. There is no Styx kingdom and Hades in this legend. The dead pharaoh To go to the kingdom of heaven and the eternal life of the gods, you have to take a boat. During the voyage, the boatman asked the Pharaoh to guess his real name. But the real name of the boatman does not appear in the records. In fact, the real names of the gods and all living beings will not be easily known by outsiders. .”

Yang Mian: "So the egret boatman is imitating the boatman in this version?"

"The high probability is, so it is impossible to judge which is his character from the five syllables. We only have three chances to guess, but there are five options, and these five syllables are just one character in the real name." Tang said.

Yu Xiaojie looked suspiciously at the calm expressions of his teammates, as if they were not worried about it: "If we can't guess this word, we won't know the boatman's real name, and if we don't know the boatman's real name, we won't be able to reach the central temple."

Suddenly, Yu Xiaojie suddenly realized: "Because the boatman's real name is not important, we just need him to send us to the central temple. But there are other ways, and knowing his real name is not the only way!"

"Finally figured it out." Tang expressed his relief and wanted to set off firecrackers to bless him.

Yu Xiaojie muttered: "Only I was the last one to guess."

"Since the real name is so important, and you can easily destroy the opponent as long as you master it, how can the boatman really use his real name as the answer for us to guess? So this must not be the only way, and you can even make a bold guess. The real name is only the boatman. It's just a smoke bomb."

Su Jiang: "However, you can avoid at least one scorpion attack by guessing the answer through the boatman's prompt."

Yang Mian continued to hold the sword: "The story of the boatman mentions Isis and Horus, as well as the rich mistress and the poor mistress. Apart from these, there are no other characters."

Xie Sanqiu covered Yang Mian's head with his big palm, sighed lightly, and then pressed down suddenly: "Idiot, there are poisonous scorpions! Seven poisonous scorpions!"

Yang Mian threw away the sword in his hand, held Xie Sanqiu's hand with both hands, and then broke it hard, with a 'click', Xie Sanqiu's hand was broken and dislocated. Not only that, but Yang Mian gave Xie Sanqiu a shoulder throw.

"Rites are reciprocal, courtesy is light and affection is heavy." Xie Sanqiu stood up with his waist supported, deeply feeling that the disciple taught the master to kill the master.

"

The seven poisonous scorpions in the story were given to Isis by the scorpion goddess Serket to protect her and Horus, so the focus is on the scorpions. One of the words is serqet, which translates to the Egyptian word serqet! "

Yang Mian: "Oh, I see. So, what is the relationship between the boatman and the poisonous scorpion?"

She thought that the six poisonous scorpions that appeared to attack them just now were also related to scorpions, but there were still differences.

"One poisonous scorpion is missing." Yang Mian narrowed his eyes and looked at the boatman with the egret head: "His head is really out of harmony with his body."

The head of a heron is thin and long, like a metal hook. Putting it on a strong and tall body, it's like a question mark on the shoulders of a two-meter-strong man.

"What's the relationship between the boatman and the poisonous scorpion? He was a boatman in the desert river, and he used six poisonous scorpions as his car. He happened to tell a story about the seven poisonous scorpions and the goddess of scorpions."

"Seven, exactly one is missing."
