Marduk is the god of Babylon. The Babylonians believe the king’s power is granted by Marduk, and the monks are the god’s servants. People in Babylon must get protected by the god, so they try to please him as hard as they can, hoping to obtain his grace to protect their city and country.
The Temple, as a place where Marduk comes down to stop temporarily, is a sacred place that only the king and monks are allowed to have access to it. Only on special days can the king go into the temple with his wife—in this case—Amytis, the princess of Medes to get Marduk’s blessings.
The ritual is long. Lin Luoran has nothing to do, but to pretend to be faithful, and wait outside the Temple like others.
Besides the Temple stands a stone tower. It is about fifteen or sixteen meters tall, only a head taller than the towering and solid inner city wall. It is not conspicuous, and even looks a little shabby compared with the majestic Temple.
All the co
“My priest, this is just part of the stars above us. Is there any problem calling it the star atlas?” Lin Luoran blinks her eyes, pretending to be innocent.The priest stares at her with his experienced eyes. Lin Luoran knows it comes to the vital point, so she just stares back at his wrinkled eyes innocently. This is a battle of stamina and calmness, and she cannot afford to reveal the secret of the jade stairs, nor the fact that she is a woman coming from the future. So, the only solution is to keep pretending.Huaxia people’s facial organs are flatter than the Babylonians and Lin Luoran looks like in her twenties with low personal ability. The priest stares for a long time and chooses to believe her words. It is not because of Lin Luoran’s behavior is so excellent that he is fooled, but deep in his heart he doesn’t believe an eastern girl like her with low personal ability have any connection with the abstract star atlas.However, Lin Luoran
Where do I come from?The fake saintess doesn’t know how to respond. Time flies and she has a quiet, wonderful time. She stays on Earth for a long time, even longer than the time she has spent on her mother planet. It’s normal she cannot think of the name of her mother planet in a minute.“Open the Tower of Babel, priest. I don’t have time to play with you.”Lin Luoran is smiling though there are still tears on her face. This expression stings the fake saintess and she grabs Lin Luoran from the floor.She gnashes her teeth and whispers beside Lin Luoran, “No matter what planet you belong to, what is the point if your host is too feeble?” Of course, she uses the standard interstellar language so that other people cannot understand.The “saintess”, or the “honored oracle” with whom others acquaint, is always cold and elegant. She has never been so hysterical before, so people may wonder what Lin Luoran says to her to mak
The crystal ball emits an appealing light. Before Lin Luoran feels happy, she sees how capable the priest is.His hands are full of blue veins. With a slight move, a star on the dome shines unnaturally and the cold light of it fills in the room. The temperature drops dozens of degrees. It is at noon in Babylon, and shall not be cold like that. The vapor evaporates from Lin Luoran begins to freeze on the skin.She is not the only one that begins to freeze. Everyone except the priest begins to freeze.On normal occasions, everyone can easily get off that thin ice, even though Lin Luoran herself can escape from that without using any spell. However, now she acts as if she gets hit by the root spell. The only thing she can move is her eye, so she can do nothing now.A small link connects between the star and the crystal ball. By a few glances, Lin Luoran recognizes the star is the moon. Thinking about the coldness in the room, she find
"Master Mu, hurry up and hit them on the west!" Master Guo lies prostrate on dunes. His mouth is full of sand. There are some foreigners in robes. Every time they wave the sticks in their hands, a fireball or an ice bomb falls. They don't seem to belong to the Vatican. “Where the hell are we?”, Master Guo thinks. Master Mu has already made the gesture of spells with his right hand, "Don't rush. Wait for a while." Their enemies are powerful and in great amounts. The Wakan of Master Guo and Master Mu is not boundless. Master Guo fights randomly. He feels pretty good, but there is no rule at all. When their Wakan is used up, they will soon be captured by the foreigners. What is going on here? Is it their illusion? The scene is too realistic. Master Guo and Master Mu have been here for a few days and just gone through a large forest of "monsters". They are so unlucky to be ambushed after all that happened. Howeve
Miracles falling into the earthly world doesn't affect the wedding of Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Babylon at all. Instead, the miracles give an incomparable blessing to the noblest bride and groom in the empire. Inside the Tower of Babel in the inner city, cultivators are on the edge of a fight. Outside the high walls, people of Babylon are worshipping on their knees. Their devotion to the Marduk Temple turns into support for the king and his new wife. The blue iris flower in the corner of Amytis's eye looks charming in the sun, but it is less touching than her smile. The princess from the mountainous country of Media is approved by the people of Babylon because the miracles fell. Amytis is still a teenage girl. She never thought of something like this could happen. She thought that she needed to work hard to get the people's approval, but God gave her a favor. Amytis and Nebuchadnezzar II stand side by side on the splendid and majesti
If Lin Luoran knew that the little things she did could lead to what really happened in history, she would be much more cautious. She grabs the Master of Blue Waves, so Goldie and the cyan little fox are able to escape. They hide closely behind Lin Luoran and look very vigilant. Obviously, they are afraid of the middle-aged man who calls himself the Master of Blue Waves. After witnessing the chaos just happened in the tower, the high priest is furious. Although his observation of stars in the last hundreds of years improves his ability to concentrate, his temples still jump rapidly. Who gives them the right to make trouble in the Tower of Babel? Lin Luoran grabs the Master of Blue Waves tightly while he asks her to pay for the spirit herbs. The two go back step by step and get close to the light of induction. Yang Lisha steps forward to pull them apart. The cyan little fox drags Goldie and rushes to them while crying loudly
Translucent lights pass through the chaotic space. Mist blocks the sunlight. People can only see things a few meters away. Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha sit cross-legged on the ground, together with Goldie and the cyan little fox. To their surprise, they are the first team that gets back. The loss of the ancient book of the monsters of wood at the last moment is a severe blow to Lin Luoran. Although her moral mind is tough, she feels sad and regretful for a long time. Mrs. Lin has already been fifty years old this year. Although she looks young, other schools regard a woman beginning to practice cultivation at her age as a waste of resources. Cultivation is a race with time. Lin Luoran feels a little bit helpless. Yang Lisha presses her lips tightly and doesn't say a word. She wants the Soul Wood badly. If they hadn’t gone on the strange trip to Babylon a, she would have forced Lin Luoran to give her the Soul Wood even though she didn’t find
Where is Ye Xiaobei now? Ye Xiaobei is 22 years old and is the last lineal descent of the family of Ye on Zu Mountain. Although his personal abilities are not high, he is pretty talented. It is a pity that the Wens hasn't had a heir born with the Taoist root in two generations, which is even worse than the family of Xuanyuan. The Wens have already become ordinary people. Fortunately, Ye Xiaobei was born with the expectations of the two generations, although the family of Ye has lost its former glory. Wen Guanjing has a similar social position with Ye Xiaobei, but he reached the middle stage of Training Qi when he was 22 years old. He was already able to lead cultivators in the special department to go on missions around the world back then. However, the 22-year-old Ye Xiaobei is still a nerdy guy who lives in the remote mountain and seldom goes out. Although the Yes don't practice cultivation anymore, they are not poor. Ye Xiaobei has internet his house
