Luxor, located along the Nile River, was once the royal capital in ancient Egypt.
Tutankhamun's tomb, which is famous in Egypt, is located in the Valley of the Kings to the west of here.
This time, Lin Chen was followed by Lei Long and four other bodyguards. They all rode in a rented jeep and drove all the way through the desert. It took another half a day to reach their destination.
It was already dark by this time.
Kong Laozhou was exhausted from the long journey.
Lin Chen originally wanted to let him rest for a while, but he still insisted, so Lin Chen had to ask Lei Long and the others to take more care and help.
After entering the city of Luxor, everyone first had a very simple meal, and then rested in a local bar.
During this period, Lu Lize went out to contact the group of tomb robbers.
Not long after, two local people with crooked looks came back with Lu Li.
"Mr. Kong, Brother Lin, these two are the Lasu brothers from nearby Kuna Village..."
After a pause, Lu Li lowered his voice and said, "They are a famous group of tomb robbers in the neighborhood. Their family has been a tomb robber gang for generations."
After nodding, Mr. Kong said in bird language: "Hello, we are the buyers this time."
"Welcome, welcome!" the taller of the two brothers said in a bird's language with a strong accent: "My name is Abdo, and this is my brother Mord."
"Hello, hello."
Lin Chen smiled and nodded while taking out two handfuls of red round objects and stuffing them into their hands.
"This is a little greeting gift, please accept it."
When the two brothers Abdo saw what they had in their hands, they were immediately surprised and thanked them profusely.
Both Kong Lao and Lu Li looked a little puzzled.
Especially Lu Li, he had been here for several days, and this was the first time he saw the two brothers being so polite.
"Brother Lin, what did you give them?"
Lin Chen smiled and took out the remaining bottle from his pocket: "Longhu Brand Cooling Oil, this is the favorite hard currency of the locals here, don't you know?"
After meeting up with the two brothers Abdo, everyone got in the car and left the city and started driving towards the suburbs.
In order to inquire about the news, Lin Chen and Lu Li sat in the two brothers' car together.
"Mr. Abdo, I heard that you found the tomb this time from a diary?"
"Yes, that diary seems to be the treasure record of the ancient tomb robbers. After they confirmed the location of the tomb, in order to control the price of the treasure to avoid digging out too many treasures that would be worthless, they removed the location of the tomb.
It was recorded. But later, probably due to the war, the diary was lost," Abdo said with a smile.
"Honestly, if we hadn't obtained this diary, we wouldn't have known that besides the Valley of the Kings, there were tombs elsewhere around Luxor!"
Lu Li said from the side: "Brother Lin, according to the records in the diary, the tomb this time is in the south of the Valley of the Kings, at the intersection of Baishan Mountain and the Baihe River. Indeed, no tombs have been found in the south of the Valley of the Kings in the past, so if they
If the tomb is really dug out, it might be a big discovery!"
"Of course it's a big discovery!" Abdo said with a smile, "You will be pleasantly surprised when you get there. I'm worried that you don't have enough money to buy what we found."
The desert night was as cold as the north, so Lin Chen and the others couldn't help but wrap themselves up.
I thought I would reach my destination soon, but I didn't expect that the car drove almost all the way until midnight.
Just when everyone in the team was feeling cold and sleepy, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, a bright light shone across the city, and a camp made of tents appeared in front of them.
This is the camp of Abdo and his group of tomb robbers, and the tomb they discovered is right next to the camp.
After getting out of the car, Abdo asked: "Guys, do you need a rest, or..."
Although Mr. Kong looked a little pale, he immediately said: "No, we have to look at the tomb now!"
"Okay, then please come with us."
Following Abdo, everyone came to a pothole, and soon they saw the entrance to a cemetery that had been opened.
Abdo turned around and said to everyone in front of the entrance: "Everyone, this is the tomb we discovered this time. According to our judgment, this is probably a pharaoh's tomb!"
"Pharaoh's tomb?" Lin Chen was surprised, "Mr. Kong, I remember that the Egyptian pharaohs didn't all sleep in the pyramids? Why..."
"That's just part of it. In fact, before the birth of the pyramids, most pharaohs, like our Chinese emperors, built tombs in the mountains." Kong Lao explained.
Everyone used flashlights and followed Abdo down the stairs at the entrance to the cemetery.
Inside is a spacious underground space.
When the flashlight shines, you can see the murals on the walls, as well as a variety of sculptures and pottery.
Kong Lao originally wanted to stop and admire these things, but Abdo, who was leading the way, said: "Guys, there is no need to look carefully at these things. The most precious things are in front of you! You are lucky, you are the first one.
If you come later, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see this thing!”
"The most precious thing? What is that?" Mr. Kong muttered strangely.
Soon, the mystery was revealed.
When they saw what was in front of them, everyone, including Lin Chen, was shocked.
The treasure Abdo mentioned was actually a mummy coffin!
Abdo shouted several times in local dialect to his men, and a group of people immediately pushed a small part of the coffin open, revealing the mummy's head.
It turned out to be a mummy wearing a gold mask!
"Oh my god! Golden mask? This mummy is actually a pharaoh?"
"Yes, old sir, you should believe what I say now, right? Look at how fine the workmanship of this mask is. It's almost comparable to the legendary golden mask of Tutankhamen! This is a priceless treasure!"
After saying that, Abdo waved his hand, and his men immediately covered the coffin again.
"Ah! Wait..." Seeing the coffin closed again, Mr. Kong showed a look of regret in his eyes.
Obviously, he was already tempted.
Even Lin Chen could see this.
Sure enough, Kong Lao turned around and said to them: "Xiao Lu, Lin Chen! If it is this mask! I believe we can reach an agreement with that museum!"
After saying that, Mr. Kong asked impatiently: "Mr. Abdo, how do you plan to sell this mummy?"
"Old sir, the value of this mummy is no worse than that of Tutankhamen, so I think you can take it down with at least this number!" Abdo directly compared the number ten.
