10 A golden sword worth over 100 million. I never took the "Resurrection Sand" seriously. If Su Lun hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it.
"Brother Feng, according to modern medicine, the possibility of a vegetative person being resurrected is basically zero. Why don't you get some sand and try it out to see if it can have a miraculous effect? Anyway, a dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor? How about it?" Su Lun's eyes
He was so bright that he seemed to have a good idea of the matter.
The Chinese superstitious theory believes that people all have souls. Once the soul is taken away by mountain spirits and wild monsters, they will just sleep all day long, which is 100% similar to the "vegetative state" in modern medicine. If you use some kind of magical witchcraft to
If you use magical means to recover the person's soul, the patient will recover immediately and become alive and kicking again.
"What do you want to do? Do an experiment on a dragon first?"
Su Lun nodded, and before he could continue, Cheney strode over with a bright smile on his face and extended his hand to me: "Mr. Feng, can you lend me a step to speak, okay?"
After the mysterious deaths of Brown and Tang, Cheney and James did not leave in panic, which is enough to prove that they came to the Egyptian desert not just for sightseeing for the scalpel, but must have other motives.
I also really hope to talk to Cheney so that I can get more information about the Pyramid of Tulkhakhan. As an expert in pyramid construction, many of his theories have been printed into emperors' masterpieces, and their translations have been spread all over the world.
More than 130 countries.
In another tomb, Cheney got straight to the point: "Mr. Feng, I have a check for 20 million US dollars here, and I want to exchange it for something from you. I wonder if you are interested?"
The Citibank check was held in his right hand - Cheney squinted his eyes to assess my reaction. On his pale face, there was always a pretentious and enthusiastic smile, and the four gold teeth inlaid in his mouth,
It also sparkles and shines in the light.
I have seen his face on the cover of "Pyramid Research" magazine more than once, and even the few freckles on his face are clearly visible.
"How about it?" He shook the check in his hand and made an attractive "crack, crackle" sound.
I touched my chin and put a smile on my face as well: "Twenty million? This amount of money is enough to buy twenty ultra-luxury villas outside Cairo - Dr. Cheney, I really can't think of anything in my body."
Can you tell me what would be worth twenty million dollars?"
Americans have always adhered to the principle of "profit-only" behavior. Only if they can earn a business that is several times the number of 20 million, they will be willing to invest so heavily. Although the US dollar is good, it must be weighed again and again before proceeding, otherwise this will
It's not money at all, but a bomb that will shatter you to pieces at any time.
I'm telling the truth, because even if I think about it, I don't know which treasure I own is worth 20 million.
The central tomb was temporarily quiet, and Yelan was carrying out Tina's order, arranging workers to rectify the lighting circuits and hang enough lighting equipment in every expansion joint.
The work process of excavating the Pyramid of Tulukhan, after the short climax of the big gold ingot and the rescue of Miss Tengjia, suddenly lost the direction of exploration. Presumably, Scalpel and Natura, who were sitting in the camp at this moment, were already feeling discouraged, right?
The most regrettable thing is that Dr. Tang's death was so bizarre that he didn't have time to leave the password to start the drill. Otherwise, hundreds of holes would have been drilled into the ceiling of the tomb by now.
"Mr. Feng -" Cheney took a step closer to me, blowing out hot breath that smelled of cigar tobacco.
"Twenty million is just my down payment. I can guarantee that after my plan is implemented smoothly, you can still get 30 million, which is a total of 50 million in remuneration. How about it? Fifty million, you should be a little tempted.
Alright?"
I spread my hands, confused: "Dr. Cheney, you are confusing me. Please tell me, what do you want?"
In my mind, the only valuable personal item is the shabby diary left by my elder brother Yang Tian. But that booklet is studded with diamonds, and I am afraid it cannot be exchanged for 50 million US dollars.
"An ancient sword - Mr. Feng, a golden ancient sword that you got from another time and space. If you are willing to nod, our business will be considered a deal, okay?" Cheney finally showed his trump card, his eyes bright.
Staring at me like a military dog that has found the perfect prey.
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng..." Tie Na called me, her voice urgent.
I shrugged my shoulders and said to myself with a wry smile: "What? What happened again?"
Tina had already strode over, frowning: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Scalpel, and High Priest Natura sent messages at the same time, asking you to return to the camp immediately."
"What's the matter?" I nodded to Cheney and quickly followed Tina towards the exit, followed closely by Su Lun.
At this time, preparations were only being made in the tomb, and even if they stayed on site, it would be of no use.
"People from the Desert Legion found the Mercedes-Benz that Lu Jiacan drove out, parked on the desert road fifteen kilometers south of Cairo. Everything in the car was normal, even the key was inserted in the keyhole, but Lu Jiacan, Tang Xin,
Song Jiudu has disappeared. There are no signs of fighting at the scene, so the high priest hopes that you can go to the scene and help the Desert Legion patrol team find the missing persons."
Tina walked very quickly and spoke extremely concisely.
What I was worried about happened. Lu Jiacan must have discovered a flaw in Tang Xin and attacked, but was restrained. He didn't even think about it. Since Tang Xin is the future head of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, her martial arts
, the wit and deceitfulness are definitely more than a hundred times higher than those of ordinary Jianghu people.
"That's all?" I was a little confused. It was yesterday that Lu Jiacan sent Tang Xin away from the camp. How could there be no news until now after a whole night? With the sophistication and calmness of Scalpel and others, before they discovered that the car was empty
, couldn’t you notice that something strange was happening?
Tina shook her head: "I just received the news on the phone. The high priest will explain the specific situation to you."
I slowed my steps slightly, walked side by side with Suellen, and whispered Cheney's words to her.
She raised her eyebrows and suddenly realized: "No wonder! Someone must have observed the battle on the top of the pyramid from the camp's watchtower yesterday. However, that sword is so valuable?" She felt at the price of 50 million US dollars.
Extremely surprised.
At this moment, we have arrived at the entrance of the tomb, and Dr. Cheney followed us out. He said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, I hope you will consider our deal carefully. Don't you Chinese have an old saying called 'too much'?"
There is no shop like this in this village' - good things falling from the sky don't happen every day?"
He patted his suit pocket, and the huge check put in his pocket made an attractive "crack-crack-crack" sound again.
Su Lun turned around and smiled: "Doctor, I know you Americans also have a saying, 'There is no free lunch.' I can guarantee that if you can pay 50 million, the same thing will be auctioned by Sotheby's
If we go to a public auction, the price can at least quadruple in a row, right?"
This sentence hit Cheney's heart at once, and the smug look on his face disappeared.
Tina was already striding away in front, and I stopped and looked at Cheney coldly: "Doctor, unless you tell me the origin of this sword, there is no need to discuss business."
Two of my college classmates are working as interns at Sotheby's auction house. I can probably tell you exactly how much this sword is worth by sending a fax.
Cheney muttered dismissively: "Where does it come from? No one knows its origin, maybe God doesn't know either!"
As an American Christian, God is omnipotent at all times, and Cheney's words clearly constitute disrespect for religious beliefs.
"Then, forgive me for not obeying your orders. There is no need to discuss this business at all. I'm sorry!" I pulled Su Lun and turned around to leave, leaving Cheney locally. I'm not short of money at the moment. If I can save this sword,
, it will be a very meaningful thing to thoroughly study the patterns carved on the sword. As Cheney said, it is a weapon from the mysterious world, and perhaps there will not be another weapon found on the entire earth.
.
"Hey, Feng, I will add more money and come up with a price, right? We can have a good talk, have a good talk..." Cheney was a little panicked. It seemed that he knew the importance of the sword very well and was determined to win it.
Su Lun stretched out his right index finger and answered on my behalf: "One hundred million, not even one dollar less."
The purchase of a gold sword for US$100 million is indeed a sky-high price. Unexpectedly, Cheney hesitated for a moment and actually raised his arm to signal: "Deal."
Suellen was also surprised: "Dr. Cheney, should you think about it in more detail?"
I recall the appearance of the sword. Apart from its simple form, there seems to be nothing particularly outstanding about it. Is Cheney crazy? He is actually willing to spend 100 million to acquire such an ordinary golden sword?
Faced with this price, it seems that I no longer need to keep the sword privately.
Dr. Cheney re-wrote me a check for US$100 million without hesitation or distress. It seemed that even if he was asked to exchange all his family property for this sword, he would do it without hesitation.
"The sword is yours, doctor. You can come to my tent to get it tonight."
Cheney shook his head impatiently: "No, no, I'll go get it with you now to avoid a long night of nightmares."
The three of us returned to the ground together. Su Lun hurriedly said "Sorry" and disappeared.
I took Cheney to the tent, opened Suellen's suitcase, took out the golden sword and handed it to Cheney.
He had become very calm at this moment. After carefully looking at the patterns on the sword, he put the hilt of the sword against his cheek. He felt it with all his concentration for a few minutes, as if he were experiencing a hot kiss from a beautiful woman. Then he turned his back and left with a long sigh.
.
Tiena did not know the origin of the sword, otherwise she would suppress it under the pretext that "all unearthed cultural relics belong to the state" and confiscate the golden sword, and Cheney's $100 million would be in vain.
I imagined dozens of complicated origins and backgrounds for this sword, but after thinking about it, none of them would become a formal reason for Cheney to buy it for such a high price.
Su Lun stepped in from outside the tent, holding a stack of copy paper in his hand.
"Where have you been?"
I raised the huge check to Suellen, but she didn't seem to care about the long string of zeros on the check.
"Brother Feng, I got these copies from Cheney's tent. Please take a look. It seems that we are still losing money on this business..."
The documents are a little messy, but they are rich in pictures and text.
The first piece of paper is a picture, which seems to be a huge spaceship lying high on the launch pad. The shape of the spaceship, the front tip and the back, is like a completely collapsed pyramid.
Countless people gathered around the spacecraft, seemingly holding a grand welcome ceremony.
I frowned: "Su Lun, I have more important things to do. You can read these slowly at night, right?"
Su Lun smiled bitterly: "Well, I haven't understood all the information anyway. Let's discuss it at night -"
Three military vehicles in the camp were ready to go, and they were loaded with at least more than thirty Rainbow Warriors with live ammunition.
Natura was already waiting for me in front of the car, and said in rapid succession: "Feng, a string of camel caravans crossing the desert were found near Lu Jiacan's empty car. The president has ordered that no matter what the cost, we will
If you want to find General Lu Jiacan, you have to see him alive, and you have to see his corpse when he is dead. Please follow the convoy immediately and you must find them. No matter who wins or loses, you must find them..."
Natura's forehead was covered with glistening beads of sweat, and he was already a little out of sorts.
The theft of the scriptures was only damage caused by the Japanese, but if Tang Xin killed Lu Jiacan, it would be like pulling out the beard of the electric tiger of the President of Egypt. How could he not be angry?
The military vehicle rushed out of the camp and rushed along the highway towards Cairo City. In such a furious state, as long as Tang Xin and his party were caught, it would be a bloody and disastrous result.
Tie Na drove the lead military vehicle personally and asked me to sit next to her. She stepped on the accelerator all the way with a livid face.
I have been thinking about the purpose of that sword and the reason why Chenike spent 100 million US dollars to buy it, and I couldn't help but say: "General Tina, the information about the 'Salvation Blade' stored in your notebook,
Are there any other anecdotes that can be extended? For example, its use, origin..."
As the car drove forward crazily, Tina's face became more and more gloomy as she shook her head. Lu Jiacan's disappearance may be a heavy blow to the entire Egyptian government.
I had no choice but to pull hard on my collar to keep myself silent at the same time, so as not to offend Tina.
In the desert with thousands of miles of yellow sand, the sky and the earth are vast and empty.
After leaving the right and wrong and twists and turns in the camp, I can really calm down and think about some essential issues. For example, the "super weapon" issue that many people are paying attention to - is the golden sword different from the "super weapon"?
"Is it relevant?
Because other than that, I can't think of a reason why Cheney would spend $100 million to buy it.
This is not an ordinary small amount. Although Cheney is very famous, he is not an Arab oil king, let alone an American super tycoon. It seems extremely difficult to come up with such a sum of money in a short time.
So, who is the mysterious team supporting him behind him? Why is he so determined to win the Golden Sword?
The only one who stayed out of the matter should be the Tang Sect in Central Shu, because neither the "Millennium Corpse Insect" nor the "Biluo Huangquan Sutra" had anything to do with the "super weapon". However, it was precisely this sudden peripheral force that suddenly
This pricked the most sensitive nerve of the Egyptians.
I have reason to believe that the President of Egypt has issued a killing order for Tang Xin and others, otherwise there would be no need for Natura to be so panicked, and there would be no need for the following team of Rainbow Warriors to face a formidable enemy...
Tina's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call briefly, she turned the steering wheel and the military vehicle roared to a fork on the right, heading due east of Cairo.
"The camel caravan is in Ahakan Town. The intelligence department suspects that the missing people will be trapped in the camel caravan." Tie Na didn't look at me, as if I was also Tang Xin's accomplice.
I was angry and laughing, turning my head silently to look at the dust rising in the rearview mirror.
Before I went down the well, I was still a hero in the camp, but now it's better. Because of Tang Xin's involvement, I have almost become the scapegoat for Lu Jiacan's disappearance.
Ahakan Town, as it is called, is actually just a small oasis with a radius of less than three kilometers in the desert. It can accommodate camel caravans and travelers to rest temporarily. In such a palm-sized place, it is not the peak tourist season.
An eye-catching camel team is naturally very easy.
As soon as the military vehicles entered the town, the troops immediately divided into three groups and took full control of the four main streets and the three exits of the town.
Far away, you can hear the noise of the camel team. It is in a large yard surrounded by a half-meter-high wooden fence. Outside the huge tent, there are seven or eight long tables, with more than a dozen
The middle-aged man with a stern expression was drinking and chewing. On the table, in addition to a whole jar of desert wine, there were four roasted whole meats that were extremely torn and messy.
