"Nub-u-chat brought me up, but put me in the receiving room, she was like those princesses who waited to meet the pharaoh, but there was no pharaoh here, and all the men of Thebes could enter her room, I don't like such a mother. Then she usurped my possessions hidden in the eastern desert, and quickly became rich, so she left the brothel and bought herself a villa. She spent money like a queen and married a royal or gambling, the money was quickly squandered by her, and she became a prostitute. When I was not yet eighteen, she died of a high fever, and her urine was black. By then I was already a strong and big man , my heart is full of resentment, and I always think of people as bad. I grew up in a brothel, and I know women's hearts very well, but I don't know much about men, because I have been hit on the head by strange men.

"I know how to make a living and do what my mother did: to be a good brothel madam. According to Maat's balance principle, I am no longer a priest, and I own a very good brothel, the best in town , singing and dancing every night to raise peace, and gather in the world for joy. With sufficient preparations in the previous two lives, it is easy to do this. "In addition, even though I live in a corner and ignore the affairs of the court, I still know that there are disputes in the court. Every few years, a new pharaoh ascends the throne. There have been two consecutive famines in these years, and I sometimes go hungry , but I believed in my dream, it told me to keep walking along the Nile, until I reached the place where papyrus flourished in the delta. I built a small workshop there, specializing in the production of papyrus, and exported the products To Syria and other countries. This dream also told me: If I keep doing this, I can earn back all the money my mother squandered.

"I'm just a fat man with a pleasant face and a smooth tongue. During the reign of Pharaoh Setnakht, I made friends with the vizier's first clerk. When I was still in Thebes, He was a frequent visitor to our brothel and liked not only our girls there but also the meals I cooked and the baths we provided. I told him the papyrus business was promising and convinced him to support my work. I paid a sum To him, he gave me the franchise, so the pace of development was much faster, and then my workshop became royal, and I spent most of my third life in Sais. Papyrus The industry was selling well in Syria, and before my death, I amassed a considerable fortune.

"In the eastern continent, they use traditional writing boards. With papyrus, their writing tools will be much lighter, and donkeys can also carry more paper, so that more information can be transmitted. In the past, A donkey can carry fifty tablets, and half of them will be destroyed on the way, but now a donkey can carry five hundred rolls of papyrus, and the paper will not be damaged unless there is an accident. The Syrians and Lebanese even The Hittites are very fond of using the papyrus we produced. At the same time, their shipping technology has also been improved and more advanced chariots have been invented. They saw the shape of our chariots and learned to use the reins to control the horses. Pulling the chariot forward. In my third life, so to speak, I was the one who hastened the fall of Egypt, because the papyrus revealed too many of Egypt's secrets to the Syrians. They imitated our sacred writing, How defiled they are. We cannot recognize our own ancient scripts at a glance, and the librarians' scripts have become illegible, as have the inscriptions in the temples. Earlier, the same script had different meanings, and it is to us But because of the Syrians, everyone is now literate, and even the clerk is no longer in awe of the written word, he does not know that the written word conveys more than one meaning, which means that wisdom and stupidity, generosity and greed are equally Write it down and spread it, so there are no more secrets in Egypt for other countries. Back then we had a saying: He who holds your letter controls your card."

"You didn't say anything good about yourself," said Puta-Nemu-Hotep. "I was living in a better time, and employed a lot of Libyans and Syrians, who worked harder than the Egyptians, and produced a lot of paper for me. The Egyptians were slack, had as many holidays as they had working days, and did nothing. Not working as hard as they can and going on strike a lot, it's totally different from when the king ruled. Now Libyan and Syrians are working harder, producing more paper and bringing this technology to their homeland, but I don't care , On the contrary, they made me a lot of money and made me a rich man within a few years, I am very satisfied."

"Papyrus isn't your only source of wealth, is it?" "I also participated in the speculation of buying and selling the necropolis, and the wisdom of the second life began to work in my life. Therefore, I made a fortune at the very beginning, which was the first pot of gold in my life. In the future, I made preparations for investing and making money. Moving the capital to Memphis made this old city prosperous, but it also accelerated the decline of Thebes. Only the Temple of Amun can closely link the two kingdoms. The pharaoh’s power is weakening day by day. The power of the temple is growing. The price of land in Thebes is rising, especially the cemetery. Now, the villa that my mother bought during her lifetime is more expensive than the palace of the pharaoh in the east. It can be said that the rich are concentrated in the delta and Thebes In the Sri Lanka area, no one wants to go to Memphis, and even if they go, they will make round trips every day."

Puta-Nemu-Hotep said: "Although what you told me is not a great thing, it is very valuable. Through what you said, I found that the life of the rich is actually the same. Then I want to ask you a question: Who did you choose to be your mother for the fourth life? With the experience accumulated in the first three lives, aren't you very smart now?" "Maybe!" Menehite replied, his voice no longer self-protective. "In my third life, many people had bad luck and marriages were a mess. I have a friend, he is Isoni A direct descendant of Rhett, who married a princess, but was killed by his wife's lover, and the child he had with the princess was adopted to a farmer, and the child died of a high fever. I don't expect to find a noble mother .”

"Given your first and second lives, shouldn't you have had this life experience too?" the father asked. "Every time I reincarnate, I have to learn new skills and regain the memory of my previous life. The tragic experience of my friend really shocked me, so I found a new way and found a strong and loyal woman as my mother. She grew up in the countryside, Having lived through two great famines, I believe she can overcome other difficulties as well. I want to find a woman who can protect my property, this is my third wife and soon to be my fourth mother. "However, my body is not healthy. It is really a sin of my previous life. Nubu-u-chat did not create a peaceful living environment for me. In her womb, my seventh-fold soul was disturbed. This life is another I indulged in pleasures, drank a lot of alcohol, injected irritating fluids into my veins, and fell ill before I was thirty. I suffered from all the diseases that ordinary people suffer from, such as gout, obesity, eye inflammation, and spinal deformity. When I was young, I used all my strength to copulate with cows. Now I am a little older and I find that my body is exhausted. Therefore, I need to find a wife to serve myself, but in fact she is not my best choice. I want to marry A princess, just like that dead friend, but I came from a humble background, and no princess would marry me. These years, this is also a pain in my heart. If I want to have a huge wealth, I have to bear a lot of pain. I got I got what I deserved, and now it is time to stop. For the first time in three lives, the god of death came at the right time. At the age of thirty-three, I look much older than before at the same age, and I am depressed. Living, when I was about to die, I found that I fell in love with all the things I dismissed when I was a child. I wanted to regain my first and second life, but I didn't have the courage to look directly at the previous memories. Finally, my The physical condition got worse, which also shocked my wife, because I swallowed a lot of herbs, which put me into a hypnotic state, so that I can recall the past, but in the process, I Had a high fever. In my last incarnation, I chose to swallow herbs and do it under hypnosis. I am well versed in the effects of herbs, because whores and pimps are more proficient in the effects of herbs than doctors and magicians, and I have been aware of this since I was a child. Although my body is very weak, I finally managed to ejaculate. The dirty things in my body are killing me. Fortunately, my sperm successfully entered her uterus. Hope these sperm are healthier than mine. I think we are right My body will be more or less dissatisfied, so I will try my best to pass on the good qualities I want to my next generation. I hope that I will be a wise, understanding, and capable person in my next life.

"My plan worked. In the first life, I was Mai Ne, the child of a peasant woman. In the fourth life, I was the child of a peasant woman. And in this life, my property was preserved, and with these wealth , I can live the life I want, so I became a general again, which has nothing to do with my first life. By marrying the princess (the princess is a descendant of Kame-Usa), I became a doctor again, I became a nobleman. I was rich, and I was a nobleman, and I became the upper class of the whole society." Finally, he laughed at himself, "I hope someone will tell me about my deeds."

"How do you wake up the dormant power in your body? It feels like your life is different this time from the previous ones, doesn't it?" Father asked, afraid that people would hear him interested. Meinehet replied: "Like Amenhotep decided to kill many lions, you ask the bottom line." "Then you refuse to answer me?" said the father. "Then you believe there are many things I don't understand?" "The last sentence is really rude and tarnishes the moonlight tonight." "Tell him how you awakened the power in your body," Hayes Fertiti said.

The great-grandfather pretended not to hear her, "I don't know why, the fourth life is different from the other three lives. During the fourth life, I was born to remember the events of the previous life. When I was young, I often played with papyrus. Soon I could write a handsome hand, as beautiful as that written in the temple of Amun in the last years of the king's reign. In my youth, I also showed amazing skills in swinging a sword and riding a horse. At that time, I For the first time, she made a wise decision to marry a woman of her own class, and her mother also made a wise decision to marry a descendant of an illegitimate son of Amon-hepu-su-fu without becoming a widow. My competitors are now my ancestors, who are busy conquering cities all day long, have many children, and have a line of illegitimate children who have no inheritance rights. With the constant replacement of pharaohs, their status has become more and more noble. The family formed by my mother's remarriage has also improved our status. status, I was also recognized by my wife's family, when we got married, they prepared a lot of programs for us. The first few years of my married life were really harmonious, my daughter, who is also Hayes Fertiti's mother Astor -en-la is both beautiful and charming. Later, my wife passed away, and I led a team to fight in Libya as a general. If it wasn’t for this, I would have achieved more outstanding achievements in the court and would have given birth to many children. Wife’s The death brought me great grief, but the memories of the previous three lives were like three devils standing at the door, so I did not mourn her as I imagined. At this moment, I understand that if the previous lives were various All kinds of wishes are not fulfilled or half-fulfilled or forgotten, so I can’t live a good life in the eyes of the public, so I resigned from the post in the military camp, devoted myself to the study of pharmacology, and slowly realized my ideal-becoming a magician Master. I have spent several years studying how to relieve gout with medicinal oil at night without wind, or how to use the right medicine at the right time according to the prescription. I also studied the pharmacological characteristics of fish roe for infertility, and also studied every three months What substances our body absorbs or what substances our body produces. I am a very ambitious person who wishes to understand all pharmacological problems and write them down one by one, e.g. Fifteen or thirty kinds of medicines were synthesized, and I also wanted to study harmful substances that can be used as medicine. Later I found that the most stable medicinal ingredients are all kinds of feces. Thinking of this, I thought of practicing with honey balls So I started to learn spells hard, which is the consolation of my fourth life. I found out that Amon visited my first mother, but I didn't make any achievements. I failed in my first life , was tricked in the second life, fooled in the third life, the fourth life gave me the opportunity to make up, make good use of it, try to learn more. What else can I tell you tonight What about the secret? I haven't told anyone before." "If you don't explain to me what you're doing with bat poo, I'm not treating you well," Puta-Nemu-Hotep said. Meinehet said: "Bats are very disgusting animals. Their emotions are erratic. Like monkeys, they are endless like vermin. They are harsh and stick to each other. But bat excrement has a high value of use. Bats are naturally can bear the loneliness." "I can finally understand your special hobby (eating bat shit)," my father said in a sympathetic tone. "This disgusting thing must have given you the courage to endure a hundred and eighty years of loneliness." Menehit bowed and thanked Puta-Nemu-Hotep for his understanding.But I know another kind of wisdom of my father, which I never knew before.I know that he has made a major decision at this moment: not to let Menehit be his vizier, because he can't stand the loneliness of staring at a hundred and eighty years every day. The great-grandfather changed seats, wondering if he sensed the different atmosphere in the air, and just nodded sadly.Puta-Nemu-Hotep tried to hide his thoughts and said, "You haven't told me about your hypnotism yet!" "Tell him," said the mother. "Yes," said the father, "I want to know about your hypnotism." "If you don't tell him, then I will tell him." The mother was aggressive. Menehet was silent, and our mother gave us a fright. "It's scary," she said to Menehet. "I think you are great, second only to our great God. I can't believe you are silent now, so stupid!" Puta-Nemu-Hotep: "How could he be stupid?" "He is stupid, he doesn't know what is true at this moment. I have two hearts, one to love someone, and the other to despise him. Now both hearts despise him." Her next words were more vicious, but Did not speak, but let us perceive with consciousness. "I like to lie to every lover, but now I realize that telling the truth is a virtue." "Only the Pharaoh can enter your two hearts," said Menehet, bowing to her. "Why didn't you tell Pharaoh how you used me?" she said. "Don't you know that I inspired you with this magic? Tell him how you seduced me and used me when I was twelve years old. .” "You are not a virgin." "Yes," said Haysfertiti, "I'm not, then you tell him how you seduced me, tell him." "I don't want to talk about it," Meinehet said. I don't want to look at him, can't bear to look at a wounded man.I don't know how the soldier pulled out the arrow after being shot in his chest. At this moment, Menehite was very gloomy and tired.He'd been tired so many times tonight, but he'd come back to climax later, and now he's drained like he's been drained. Haysfertiti said: "The first time he came up to me, lured me into a drink and then I fell unconscious. He just took out his animal lust on me and treated me like a dead person. A dead person might be easier. Help him achieve his goal!" "That's not the case," Menehit said. "No, that's it," Hayes Fertiti said. "It's a ritual. When I grow up, you don't need to seduce me with things. I love what we do. You teach me to be with you, Go to your 'cave'." When she said "cave", she emphasized her voice, her tone was full of anger, and she didn't know whether she meant the shrine buried in the ground or the deep mine. "His hypnotism can take me deep in a stream or into a cave, and I'm completely ignorant of my surroundings, crawling in the dark." Now she says to Puta-Nemu Hotep, "I don't want to hide Thing, after being hypnotized, I can hear grandfather and honey ball, the king and Nefertari, which is ok, but soon he is talking to the eight gods in the slime, and I am the dirty thing on his hands , he laughed at me and Nefer Hep Ockham. And worse, we entered not a cave, but a tomb. We made love in the tomb, surrounded by the screams of the dead, how can this be What about it?" The mother's wisdom was amazing, she knew that saying this would not make Pharaoh disgusted, but would make him like her even more. "What nonsense, I can't bear it for a minute, this conversation is over," said Menehite, "I've given up hope!" He got up, and without bowing goodbye, he just walked away from here, he Really old, hobbled down the stairs, the last time he was with us.
