At the back of the country, the North Frontier Territory …
"You asked why we always respect the young girls here, it's because there is a legend here that we believe deeply …" an old herdsman said as he walked.
A clean, dust-free wind blew in his face. Taking a deep breath, he felt as if he had absorbed the unique fragrance of nature in this vast and boundless land into his lungs. This place was too vast. There were no dense forests to block his view, no overlapping mountains, and no tall buildings. There was only a vast expanse of flat land in front of him and the magnificent lines of the earth in the distance. With a slow curve, the rising and sinking terrains connected with the dark blue sky …
Occasionally, there would be a silver ribbon embedded in the ground that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was simple but flowed with the most magnificent scenery!
"Legends, I love legends the most. A local legend can often reflect the stupidity of the people in the area," a young man wearing a pair of sunglasses said lazily.
"You can listen to the story and tell if it's stupid or not. In the early years, the grassland on the back of the country was very bleak. The grass was struggling to grow, the water was always running dry, and locusts were everywhere. The locals could no longer survive. The number of livestock kept dwindling. There was no fresh milk, no meat, and no work … "the old herdsman held a whip in his hand and waved it around.
"Such a cliché beginning," the young man said.
"To prevent the people from leaving their homes and living without a fixed residence … oh, by 'without a fixed residence', I mean the grassland and water that we are supposed to have … a young girl called Qiqige decided to climb up a mountain because she knew the water came from the mountain. It was the result of the spring water. She walked a long way and climbed for a long time. When she saw the source of the spring, she realized it had been frozen by the cold air. The higher the altitude, the colder the temperature, "the old herdsman said.
"So what did the girl do?" the young man asked, his interest piqued.
"She didn't have any abilities. She only had a sincere heart that wanted to help the villagers. So she took off all her clothes, revealing the pure body of a young girl. She hugged the bone-chilling ice tightly, using the temperature of her body to melt the hard rock of ice. The melted water flowed through her pure and flawless body and poured into the stream. The spring water and the stream carried the fragrance of her virginity … The stream came back to life, and the land also regained its vitality. That's Qiqige's statue. She's hugging ice, the Icy Spring of Life that gave birth to us. "The old herdsman pointed ahead.
In front of them, there was a lonely sculpture. It was a sculpture of a young girl that had been painted the color of snow. Its shape was very abstract. If no explanation was given, one would mistake it for a strange-looking boundary monument.
"So that's how it is. No wonder half of the girls here are called Qiqige," the young man said with a smile.
"Yes, every girl is a blessing to us. Every family is proud to have a girl," the old herdsman said with a smile. He had an honest look on his face.
The young man walked a few rounds around the sculpture, then looked at the map in his hand, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and glanced at the beautiful woman in a short cheongsam behind him. He said, "I think it's a hint from the Heavens. We should set the coordinates here, right next to this sculpture."
"I'm glad you like it," the beautiful woman in the cheongsam said with a smile.
"Old man, have you heard of another legend that didn't happen in this country? I think it's very compatible with the story you're telling me, "the young man turned around and said to the old herdsman.
"Is that so? I like it. Go ahead," the old herdsman sat down and started smoking. He seemed to be enjoying himself.
"It happened in Egypt. The status of women was always low. They were the slaves and playthings of men. Even two strong cows could be exchanged for a healthy girl. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ Wang

There was a girl called Khonsu. She suffered all kinds of humiliation and torture. She had to live a lowly life with no end in sight. One day, she stole a beautiful golden necklace from a slave owner. She wanted to sell it and run away, but the necklace was very special. A special demon spirit flew out in the middle of the night … Ah, you can call it Aladdin, it doesn't matter … The demon spirit told her that it could grant the girl a wish, as long as the girl sold her soul to it. Khonsu quickly agreed to it in order to gain the attention of the people and receive their love … As expected, she enjoyed the attention of the stars for ten years. She enjoyed the love of countless men like moths to a flame. She enjoyed a higher status and luxury than a slave owner.
"However, the ten years were up, and the Demon Spirit came to find her as scheduled, asking for her soul."
"Khonsu was a very cunning woman. She was insatiably greedy. She wanted to enjoy herself for a longer period of time. She had been looking for ways to escape from the demon spirit since a long time ago, so he wouldn't ask for her soul."
The young man spoke with relish. When he reached this point, he deliberately glanced at the old herdsman who was smoking.
The old herdsman flicked the cigarette and sighed. "She was indeed a girl who couldn't be compared to our Qiqige. Dirty, greedy, selfish … So, what did she do next? Shouldn't she receive the punishment she deserved?
"That's what's most worth pondering over. The girl, Khonsu, did her homework in the next few years. She knew that the demon spirit was actually the God of the Underworld, the king of the Kingdom of the Dead. Every once in a while, he would make a deal with humans. The souls he obtained would be completely locked in his harem and tortured as toys for eternity. Khonsu understood that she had obtained the most exciting ten years, but the price she had to pay for the endless years that followed would be more painful than before. So, she decided to fight to the end. She knew that the God of the Underworld had a mansion in the human world. You should have heard of it …
"The God of the Underworld's mansion in the human world is called the Pyramid. The God of the Underworld could only travel freely in the human world through the deathlight emitted by the Pyramid."
The old herdsman's eyes widened when he heard the name. He nodded and said, "The Pyramid, that's so famous. What happened next?"
"Khonsu used her ten years of fame, wealth, and power to collect something special. It's called the Triangle Dimensional Mirror. She refracted the deathlight of the Pyramid through the Dimensional Mirror, preventing it from shining on the city where she lived …" the young man said.
"She was a smart girl, but she was also quite pitiful. She did it just to survive," the old herdsman said.
"However, the God of the Underworld was infuriated by her actions. The God of the Underworld thought he had made a deal with the petty people and given them the perfect thing, yet they resorted to such a despicable method … The God of the Underworld could only appear in the human world once every ten years, yet the deathlight of the Pyramid couldn't reach where Khonsu was, so the God of the Underworld decided to vent his anger on someone else instead.
"Since the Triangle Dimensional Mirror refracts the light instead of absorbing it, it means that the deathlight of the Pyramid was actually shining on other cities and areas. Therefore, every time the light was refracted, the God of the Underworld and his men of sacrifice would trample and massacre people to vent their anger on the humans! "
The old herdsman was fascinated by the story. For some reason, he had a feeling that the legend was different from the one he had told him. Even though the young man's story was more ridiculous and had a greater background, it somehow felt like it had actually happened before!
"Every ten years, Khonsu would turn a city into a river of blood and leave corpses everywhere just to protect herself!" the young man added. When he said the last few words, he seemed particularly excited.
"She's such a despicable girl!" the old herdsman said.
"Yeah, compared to your Qiqi Ge, she's the evilest example on the other end of the spectrum. By the way, the story isn't over yet, "the young man said.
"It's not over yet? Did the girl get what she deserved? "the old herdsman blurted out.
"Yes, she got what she deserved. A boy who survived the destruction of the city became Khonsu's manservant. The boy was smart, handsome, and loyal to Khonsu. Khonsu quickly took him in as her favorite pet. But just when Khonsu thought she had finally found her most sincere love, the man stole Khonsu's Triangular Dimensional Mirror. It happened to be stormy that day. The man tossed the Triangle Dimensional Mirror into the air. Khonsu watched the mirror shatter into pieces and dust in the lightning … "the young man said.
"Well done! She deserved what she deserved. Besides, we shouldn't let the innocent people pay the price for the deal Khonsu made, "the old herdsman exclaimed.
"No, no, no, the man didn't earn the people's love. Khonsu was taken away by the God of the Underworld in despair. She's still being tortured to this day. The man was despised and cursed by the people too. His corpse is still being trampled on in front of the Egyptian Royal Palace, "the young man said.
"Why is that?" the old herdsman was confused.
"It's because even though the Triangle Dimensional Mirror has turned into dust, it still exists in the air of Egypt. It's smaller than dust. It can't be seen, nor can it be driven away. It's eternal. Every season, the monsoon will gather the dust of the Triangle Dimensional Mirror. The deathlight of the pyramids will be refracted again and appear close to a city. The God of the Underworld is still angry at the humans, so the undead in Egypt continue to attack the cities … "the young man grinned.
"What you're talking about, I … I think I've seen it somewhere before." The old herdsman was not completely clueless. He had heard a lot about Egypt.
