Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 897 The Sun is the Wound of the Sky
"You should be completely healthy now. I have also cured your high blood pressure, high blood lipids, gout, myopia, cervical spondylosis and arthritis."

The half-man, half-deer god checked Sine’s condition again and said with concern, “I also adjusted your abdominal fat and visceral fat to a healthy state…Your center of gravity may need to be readjusted.

"The extraordinary power of the Path of Wisdom has little effect on the body, so remember to protect your body. Although you are a fourth-level extraordinary person, it does not mean that you will not get sick. After all, you are a wizard, not a priest..."

The deer man shook his head: "But I can't do anything about the robe and the staff... and your glasses."

"Uh, I have spare glasses... do you want to use them?"

Professor Budd was holding the glasses case in the back and whispering.

But no one paid any attention to him at this time.

It's not that I'm impolite, but my brain has stopped working.

Everyone was amazed by the miracle happening before their eyes, and gave out indescribable praise and exclamations—

This happened right before people's eyes, a miracle of resurrection from the dead!

It was not a suspended death of "losing breathing and heartbeat and then recovering", but the upper half of the body including the brain and heart was completely turned into ashes, and then it was forcibly grown back!

This is something only God can do... No, not even God can do it!

There are so many people dying in the world, how many of them can be saved by praying to God?

One? Two?

The answer is, none!

Even monarchs of various countries had no precedent of resurrection after accidental death. It was common sense that the dead could not be resurrected, and those who clamored for resurrection would be ridiculed by the extraordinary people as superstitious.

Even though the "Pope" and Chongbo had said before that they could be resurrected, what everyone was thinking was just a soul operation.

For example, using a gemstone or something that stores souls... to suck the soul out of a corpse. Then transform the body into a machine or a spirit, and use the gemstone to drive it.

A cold, intelligent undead. This is the most reasonable, most likely and best way of "resurrection" they can imagine.

"Oh my God..."

Zhu Tang blurted out, then realized where he was and repeated it in Xingtan language: "Snake Father... No, is he really resurrected like this?"

"Zhu Tang."

The sanctified voice of Aiwass echoed in an overlapping manner.

"Hey, I'm not..."

That familiar sense of majesty made Zhu Tang respond subconsciously.

But then he realized that the antlers did not come from his own emperor, but from a god outside. And he himself was no longer a noble, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "I am here."

"You should be very familiar with runes and totems. Help me figure out what this means."

He finally walked over, opened his eyes carefully, and looked at the runes on Aiwas' chest and abdomen.

"This is……"

He asked uncertainly: "Can I... reach out and touch it?"

"Sure, check it out for me please."

The second half of Aiwas's sentence was replaced with Taichu language: "Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Zhu. I don't know much about this."

It is very troublesome to split a totem, even more complicated than heraldry. It requires a lot of professional knowledge, otherwise it is easy to mistake some special meanings, such as flipping, emphasizing, etc., for decorative patterns, or to mistake one totem for another.

Elves were not good at rituals, so even Aiwass did not learn much about rituals in the Theocracy. Even the cardinal who was the best at rituals among the elves learned it when he was studying in the Taichu Empire.

Zhu Tang was an official who was exiled three times, so he must have received an orthodox education. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a normal person to be exiled three times. Most people would have been sentenced to death or imprisoned when they were exiled for the second time.

This must be because he has some special skills, and they are reluctant to kill him, but they are also very angry. So they repeatedly exiled him to other places to serve as an official, and called him back after a few years to ask if he had obeyed, and if he made them angry again, they would throw him even further away... But even so, they still couldn't bear to kill him.

Zhu Tang does have some real knowledge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to reveal his mythical form, Aiwass decided to ask.

And Zhu Tang did not disappoint Aiwass.

He touched the wound a little and gave a very clear answer: "This is the totem of the solar lineage, my lord."

"Elaborate."

Aiwass didn't understand what the solar spectrum was, so he could only calmly ask him to explain in detail.

"The totem at the top is the sun, and it is the midday sun. It is a fresh wound that bleeds slightly when touched, and the color used is black. Black is the color of embers and also the color of water. Therefore, the water here is the 'bleeding place'... In summary, it means that 'the sun is the wound of the sky', which is comparing itself to the sky, and the wound it suffers is the sun.

"And here... the rune below means thorns, vines, and weeds. In other words, the inedible parts that occupy the land besides food. And below here is not a wound, but a hard scar. Scars mean old wounds, and the arc-shaped black here refers to rivers - that is, thorns and weeds that grow where there are rivers.

"The concept of weeds under the scorching sun that comes to my mind should be some kind of wasteland. Because the sun is too strong, the land is dry and cracked. People left... and then the water came, and the land here became good again. No one cultivated the land, so weeds and thorns grew in the land. That is the 'evil growing from old wounds'. As far as I know, some people who have been betrayed like to use this totem to solidify their hatred and determination."

Zhu Tang analyzed carefully: "But look at these two sides - about the position of the kidneys, there is a subtle change here, do you see it? The totem here is no longer a weed, but wheat. In other words, part of the weeds in the past have turned into wheat; or there is still a part of the wheat that has not turned into weeds. Both explanations are possible, and the meanings are opposite.

"The former means, 'The betrayed have gained a new life, their own power, and everything has been fine'; while the latter means, 'Even under the scorching sun, the wheat fields are still persisting with no one to take care of them. This is to stick to one's own path in the face of despair, even if the despair may destroy oneself at any time...'"

"…Sounds like a kind of tarot reading."

Aiwass in his Sinmon form spit out, "There are explanations for both the pros and cons."

"almost."

Zhu Tang nodded: "For this reason, it is best not to carve totems on your body. If you are not a professional, you will not be able to analyze what these totems represent and what power they will bring..."

"What if I say that these thorns are actually 'thorns of sin'?"

Aiwass asked back, while urging the sinthorn in his body to expand out of the wound.

Seeing this scary thing, Zhu Tang subconsciously took two steps back.

He wiped his hands on his clothes, then looked down carefully. After confirming that there was no wound on his fingers, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Then the meaning is much clearer... It roughly means 'The sun is the wound of the sky, and all the light in the sky is the blood of the sky', 'The thorn of sin is an old scar of the earth, and it is the brother of all living beings'."

"…The scars of the earth."

Aiwass murmured in a low voice, as if thinking about something: "Zhusheng's brother..."

Suddenly, Aiwass thought of where he was.

"Tower of Babel……"

These winged beings can fly. What heaven are they flying through?

Nibiru, the sky-eating beast. If the name is not an exaggeration...which sky is it eating?

The second sun once burst into numerous stars, plunging the world into eternal darkness. Until the third sun was born from the three-legged golden crow... But if the sun is the wound of the sky, how can a wound "burst"?
“If you are interested,” Cardinal Galatea suddenly said softly, “then go up a little further.

"It's almost there... When you reach the ninth floor, you'll be able to see that thing."
