The King of Tomb Robbers Part 3 Weird Purgatory 1 Sacrifice Verses "Mr. Feng, is the excavation plan blocked? If you need my help, please...just say it..." Tang Xin seemed a little careless.
The more this happened, the more I felt that there must be some kind of complicated secret hidden behind her calm expression.
"Ms. Tang, are you so sure that there must be a 'Millennium Corpse Insect' hidden in the Tucrakhan Pyramid? If not, wouldn't your trip be in vain?"
While observing her words and expressions, I listened to the movements on Su Lun's side and the derrick's side.
"If I say there is, there must be. If Mr. Feng has any doubts about this news, he can actually find out by consulting some ancient classics. Mr. Feng is an honors student from a prestigious university in Italy. He must be well-read and will not even know about China.
Have you forgotten all the ancient books?" She used a smooth "Tai Chi Push Hand" to get my question back.
I have indeed read a lot of ancient books, but there are so many strange and weird classics left over from Chinese history. Just one "Shan Hai Jing" and "Sou Shen Ji" are enough for people to study for ten or eight years. Eagerly
For a while, I couldn't think of any book that contained descriptions about the pyramids, but I couldn't be shameless enough to ask the other person for advice.
"Mr. Feng, you are not afraid to speak out. Whatever our Tang Sect wants, we will definitely get it, no matter whether Mr. Scalpel is generous enough or not." Although her voice was calm, every word in her sentence was extremely obvious.
threaten.
I looked up and laughed "haha" twice, and quickly answered: "Get it? Can you get it? At the very least, as far as I know, for hundreds of years, you have always wanted to be the largest gang to dominate the world, but there is no way at all.
Get it. Moreover, every time you go out, you will lose your troops, all the masters will die, and it will take at least thirty years to recover, right?"
This is a fact, and it is one of the most criticized "Achilles heel" of the Tang Sect in Sichuan.
Tang Xin's face turned cold, as if she was shuddering deeply. She put her hands deeper into her sleeves, pursed her lips, and sneered arrogantly: "That was the past. As long as the earth does not perish, the rivers and lakes will always exist. As long as the rivers and lakes
Existence, do you dare to say that we will never get what we want?"
I was also startled. The irritated Tang Xin seemed to have lost his words - I judged that this "Millennium Corpse Worm" was just a small introduction. The real purpose of the Tang Sect should still be to continue their hundreds of years of "unifying the world"
dream.
This is very ridiculous. Everyone knows that the entire mainland of China is now peaceful and peaceful, the political situation is stable, and its influence and control in the United Nations organization are increasing year by year.
If the Tang Sect in Sichuan wants to engage in illegal activities in such a political environment, it is simply throwing an egg against a rock. It is extremely stupid, just like a tiger trying to engage in something in the Egyptian desert.
"Haha, Mr. Feng, you are mistaken, I was just joking..."
As Tang Xin pretended to be relaxed and explained in a subtle way, Song Jiu suddenly raised his head and looked at me with murderous intent. It was strange that every time my eyes met with his, I would notice the murderous intention surging in his heart. Every time his fingers
Always resting on the hilt of the sword.
I was in no mood to fight with this cold-blooded weirdo in black, so I bowed politely to Tang Xin: "Miss Tang is really good at joking. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
In front of girls, I always tell myself to maintain a good image of a modest gentleman, no matter where she comes from or what her background is.
Tang Xin looked at her nails again and smiled, like a pale but cool flower: "Mr. Feng, my request is actually very simple. I just want you to abide by your promise to the tiger and discover the 'Millennium Corpse Worm'
Don’t hide your secrets later, okay?”
I nodded silently, glanced at the tiger's generous back, and stepped back.
Tang Xin added in the tent: "Mr. Feng - what we want is the 'Millennium Corpse Insect', not the ordinary scarab..."
I subconsciously looked west and then north at the two pyramids with huge differences in size, shaking my head and sighing.
The scarab is one of the common insects in the pyramid murals. It looks like a scarab beetle that has been reduced several times. In the Pyramid of Khufu, biologists have also discovered the eggs of the scarab beetle that are still viable. In Egyptian mythology, the scarab beetle
Beetles were kept as pets by the pharaohs, just like in modern society, people keep turtles, puppies, and kittens.
Of course I wouldn't regard those little black things as "Millennium Corpse Worms", I still have this common sense.
The legend about the "Millennium Corpse Worm" exists in the Egyptian myths about the pyramids. It is widely circulated and is so miraculous.
According to legend, the corpse worm was hidden in the bones of the Pharaoh. From the first day he put on the Pharaoh's crown, the corpse worm suddenly appeared. Its length was from the tip of the toe of the Pharaoh's right foot to the top of his head.
It runs through the longest curve inside the Pharaoh's body.
There is only one corpse worm in each pharaoh's body. According to the history of ancient Egypt, there are several corpse worms in several dynasties, and the number will not be more or less. The magical function of corpse worms is to carry
The thoughts of the Pharaoh, that is to say, with the existence of corpse insects, the thoughts of the Pharaoh will be directly connected with heaven, adhering to the divine will of God, governing all people and ruling the desert.
This superstitious statement has long been overturned by biologists, and they say that the "corpse worm" is actually the "giant bloodworm" commonly seen in the waters of the Nile River. The Nile River has a long history, and there are countless deadly bacteria and highly toxic insects in the water.
Counting tens of thousands of residents along the coast suffering from "bloodworm" disease, it is very likely that the Pharaoh also got sick from drinking water.
In support of this theory, biologists found fibrous tissue similar to the original blood filarial worm in a completely unearthed pharaoh mummy. Although it is different from the common blood filarial worm, it can be interpreted as a descendant of haemofilaris.
It is a breed that has been improved and mutated over the long history, just like the wisdom and physical strength of modern people are completely stronger than those of ancient people.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong?" Su Lun approached me silently, like a well-behaved cat. But her expression at the moment was heavy and serious. Even if she looked like a cat, she was also a cat with a lot of worries.
Behind her, Elder Sahan's rituals had ended and he returned to the tent with Youlian.
Su Lun exhaled heavily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him: "Just now, I made gestures to prevent you from passing by, but actually I didn't want to arouse the suspicion of Elder Sahan."
I smiled generously and turned to look towards the derrick. The onlookers next to the derrick and the tent with the monitor were all silent. It was obvious that there was no progress in the drilling work under the tunnel.
The usual night-time chill in the desert has quietly rolled in. I have a hunch that today's excavation work will definitely be in vain.
"Brother Feng, I got some recordings of Elder Sahan's rituals. I need to send them back to the villa for my brother to identify." It seemed that Su Lun was in a very uneasy mood.
"What? There's something wrong with those prayers?" I also became alert.
Among the people who came to the camp at the same time, Tang Xin and his group were not nervous at all, Lu Jiacan stood by and watched as if nothing happened, and Elder Sahan had been hiding in the tent and endured. In fact, according to normal reactions, they would be extremely concerned about the excavation of the tomb.
That's right. Indifference is the most abnormal thing about the three of them.
Suellen and I walked side by side towards our tent. She quickly dialed Scalpel's phone number. Of course, it was another secret phone. Scalpel's contact number was different from everyone's. I knew before that he
There is a special communications room in the villa, with more than a hundred single-line telephones placed on every floor.
"Brother, there is a passage that is very important. I have heard ancient Egyptian words such as 'sacrifice, sacrifice, sacred beast, bite' at least ten times. These verses appear in the mysterious rituals of Elder Sahan.
Yes, please ask someone to translate it to see what it means."
She took out a sophisticated tape recorder the size of a lighter, leaned over the microphone and started playing.
All the telephones on the other side of the scalpel were connected to the synchronous recording system, making it easy to record these sounds. When he walked to the door of the tent, Su Lun's transmission work had been completed, and he looked back at me with some anxiety: "The wind
Brother, I want you to guess what kind of rituals Elder Sahan performed?"
I blurted out: "It's just a sacrificial scripture."
Sacrifice work in ancient Egypt was very frequent. There were grand sacrifices for the sun, moon and stars every month, and living people, horses, and cattle were used as sacrifices. In some seasons, such sacrifices were even held five times a month.
In addition to the above, various small sacrificial activities are held one after another in various villages every day, resulting in large and small sacrificial rituals, long and short sacrificial texts, various sacrificial instruments, and etiquette procedures, forming
It is an indispensable feature of ancient Egyptian culture.
Su Lun bit his lip and breathed a sigh of relief: "I think so, we have exactly the same idea."
"Is there something wrong?" I haven't understood Su Lun's true thoughts yet. Sacrifice and sacrificial inscriptions are the most common things in Egypt. In ancient murals, grand scenes of thousands of people kneeling down to worship can be seen everywhere. Even in
In all major cities in Egypt in the twenty-first century, priests with bald heads and gray robes can be found in any streets and alleys.
Su Lun shook his head thoughtfully: "It's just a guess. I'll tell you after my brother has the results."
I pointed to the derrick: "Would you like to go over and have a look? I'm afraid I'll find nothing in tonight's excavation work."
The thickness of the entire facade of that stone wall must be exactly the same, and there will be no preference for one or another. Therefore, even if Dr. Tang's mysterious machine can drill a hundred holes in the stone wall, the depth will only reach a tasteless five meters, which will not be helpful in opening the tomb.
Not helpful.
The reason why directional blasting was not adopted is very simple. In fact, I have mentioned it several times in the previous records. Blind blasting will only turn the tunnel into a living tomb for experts, causing an unstoppable collapse event.
Such a setback would definitely be a fatal blow to Tang, who came in excitement. So, was it expected by the scalpel?
Scalpel's work efficiency has reached an astounding level. In only four minutes, he has already returned the call: "Su Lun, that recording can indeed prove that Elder Sahan is carrying out sacrificial activities. Please listen carefully. His
The object of sacrifice is the great god Tulihan."
Cold sweat broke out on both of my palms at the same time, and I continued to listen carefully.
"Sacrifice, and it is a living sacrifice. When translated at the end of the sacrificial text, it can be explained as follows - 'To the omnipotent God Tulahan, offer foreign sinners who dare to offend the power of God. Let the God of Punishment in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes
, carefully select them, devour the sinners' internal organs, and return them with clean souls.' That's the general idea. There is only one thing I want to say. You must not act rashly. You must not be the first to enter the pyramid. Listen.
understand?"
After hanging up the phone, Su Lun put down the phone, and I realized that the tips of her hair were soaked with cold sweat, and beads of sweat as big as beans were dripping down.
