Volume 2: Jingzhao Suspicion Chapter 25 The Past Is Like Smoke (2)
Atbara River District, January 1987.
This is the lower reaches of the Nile, and now it is the "dry season", and the river level is gentle. The water level here is very shallow, and the raging flood water during the flood season is mixed with a large amount of sediment from the coastal desert again, so that the mighty river can only support small tonnage general cargo ships and pleasure boats.
The banks are covered with nearly four-metre-tall papyrus, which was pounded and ground into paper by the natives thousands of years ago to record the Hieroglyphs.
Hieroglyphs, the word is made up of two Greek words meaning "sacred writing", which is also known as "holy writing". These scripts were found in large numbers in the temples and were believed to be written by the gods by those who believed in the gods.
The Atbara River region has a standard tropical desert climate that is supposed to be dry and rainless all year round, but its proximity to the Nile River means that the air is thick with fog.
Stuart emerged from the tent on the shore and stood beside Lu Ye, frowning and looking around, the fog obscuring everything around him.
Lu Ye glanced down at the time, it had been three hours since Amanhotlpool and the pharaoh ministers around him had entered the pyramid, and with their abilities, they would come out before dawn, and they would not be able to get anything by then.
In the distance, a pitch-black shadow split through the thick fog, and it appeared silently, like a ghost hidden in the darkness. The white bow of the boat was revealed, and above the bow stood a man with a folding fan in his hand.
"It's coming!" Lu Ye smiled.
The boat stopped about two or three meters away from the shore, and the person at the bow of the boat folded the fan in his hand, jumped high and landed on the shore, and the hem of his clothes was light, so chic!
It was a young man of about twenty years old, dressed in a cyan robe that did not fit the times, a pair of black rubber-soled cloth shoes, and a pair of rather shrewd eyes under the heavy lenses.
"Seems to be a pretty stinky guy," Stuart whispered to Lu Ye, and then straightened his trench coat, "He's the guy you said could deal with Amanhotpool?"
The presence of the Stuarts has alerted Amanhotlpool, who has secretly placed countless eyeliners around the ancient pyramid, and the entrance to the ancient pyramid is heavily guarded, and Stuart has tried many times but has not been able to infiltrate.
Lu Ye nodded and greeted him.
"I knew that your kid would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and let me wipe your ass for you this time?" Zhou Jinyu looked at Lu Ye's courteous look and shook his head helplessly, "Did you beat Amanhotepu or slept with a certain pharaoh's daughter?"
"How can I be as unbearable as you think, I want to sleep with the daughters of these pharaohs, but I also have to be agreed, right?" Lu Ye retorted, "Besides, if I sleep with the pharaoh's daughter, won't I become a pharaoh in the future?"
Egypt is an amazing country, and they have a system where the executive power is vested in men and the inheritance rights are vested in women. To put it simply, the only son of the elder cannot be a pharaoh, but the only daughter of the queen must be a queen.
Under this system, it was entirely possible for a pharaoh to be widowed and have to give up the throne to his son-in-law, and the only solution for a power-hungry pharaoh was to take his daughter as his wife. In the same way, after the death of the old pharaoh, his queen must marry immediately, otherwise there will be no pharaoh in the country. And at this time, if someone marries a queen, then that person will become a pharaoh. And the person who usually marries the queen is the queen's own son......
"If you sleep with Pharaoh's daughter, the first thing Pharaohs will do is kill you. Zhou Jinyu patted Lu Ye on the shoulder and said, "Egypt's heterogeneous selection is carried out through the marriage of close relatives to strengthen the bloodline, and they don't want a scum to appear among their offspring." ”
"Hey, hey, it's okay to hurt people, but it's not okay to attack people!" Lu Ye shouted, "I called you here this time to ask you to do something......
"When did you call me to ask me to do something?" Zhou Jinyu glared and interrupted Lu Ye, while Stuart, who was standing behind, was directly ignored by Zhou Jinyu as a telephone pole.
"Ahem," Stuart coughed, "yes, the Hidden Mist has received a message in the Shadows of Egypt that an ancient pyramid has appeared hidden underground, and according to the analysis of the Shadows, this may be a ruin, but when we arrived, we were rejected by Amanhotpur, they have now gone down, and they have sent heavy troops at the entrance, and we can't enter at all." If you have a way, please hurry up, otherwise we won't get anything even if we go down. ”
"Your dark nose is indeed very smart," Zhou Jinyu glanced at Stuart, he slowly turned around and looked at the surroundings, "Qinglong is against the water and the double pen peak, and the children and grandchildren are the princes." It's a bit like a ruin, but it's too foggy right now, and I can't tell the bad luck through Qimen Dunjia, but it's not a problem to let you in, it's just ...... Why should I help you hide the fog?"
"I'm brother to Stuart, and if you help him, you help me. Lu Ye grinned.
"Then why should I help you?" Zhou Jinyu glanced at Lu Ye.
"You're not authentic like this," Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, he thought for a while, "Why don't you give you my share of what you get from this trip?"
"Is there anything down there that has to be said separately, even if there are some things that catch the eye, do you think I'll be able to use them?"
"What do you want?" Stuart said.
Zhou Jinyu slapped the handle of the fan, "It's very simple, I need all the information you have about those exiled criminals. ”
"Who are the exiled criminals?" Song Yuan asked, taking advantage of Stuart's pause.
"The priest told you about the first history of the aliens," replied Stuart, "and the aliens who were exiled to far-flung lands were called sinners by all the aliens who came after. ”
"But I remember the pastor saying that he didn't know if these aliens survived or not. Song Yuan scratched his head.
"Do you know about the Tunguska explosion?"
Song Yuan nodded, "I've seen it on the Science and Education Channel before, and it is said that the unsolved mystery of the three natures of the world is as famous as the Death Hill Incident and the Apocalypse Explosion." The explosion is said to be as powerful as more than 2,000 atomic bombs. ”
"But it's strange that the world's first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945 in the Alamokod Desert in the United States," Stuart said with a laugh, "and that a presbyterian expedition came back and reported that it was probably caused by the explosion of a ruin, and that the maps left by the Order show that it was probably the "Far Away" of the time. ”
"What's even more interesting is that in the second year of the Tunguska explosion, a new alien group appeared active in the world, they called themselves "Night", but after years of investigation we have not found any specific information about this organization, so we can only speculate that they are the descendants of the original group of exiled criminals. ”
"But what does Zhou Jinyu want the news of these exiled criminals for?"
"I don't know, but from the point of view, he should have joined the Night organization, which is why he will attack you. ”
On the banks of the Nile, Zhou Jinyu stood there looking at Stuart, he was waiting for Stuart's reply.
"What do you want this news for?" asked Stuart.
"You don't have to know that, I'm useful. Zhou Jinyu said lightly, "Long Yuan has also been collecting information about the criminals over the years, but the information we have is definitely not as much as your dark department. And for now, it is a good thing for Long Yuan to get this news for you Hidden Mist, after all, in this world, our purpose is the same. ”
"Deal. ”
Zhou Jinyu smiled, "In that case, call your people out, let's go down now." ”
Stuart nodded and called Song Tianlin.
"Can he really take us down?" Song Tianlin asked in a whisper as he followed Stuart's side, unable to explain why, he didn't have any good feelings for the compatriot in front of him.
"A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and we can't help it anyway, so let's try it. ”
Ten minutes later, Zhou Jinyu came to a distance less than 100 meters away from the entrance of the ancient pyramid, and the eyeliner of the pharaoh group pretending to be local residents around him spotted them, and their eyes were not good.
"Coming in with such fanfare, I think he's choking enough to have a way. Song Tianlin was a little disappointed.
Zhou Jinyu took out a compass from his arms, "The first three and six positions of the value symbol, the god of Taiyin is in the first two, the last one is nine days in the palace, and the god of the last two is nine places. ”
"What time is it?" Zhou Jinyu turned around.
"Two o'clock in the morning. Lu Ye replied, "I said, do you have a way to get in?"
Zhou Jinyu looked down at the compass, "Wait." ”
"Wait?" Lu Ye was puzzled, "If you wait any longer, you won't be able to catch a fart." ”
"It's not so easy for them to come out of it," Zhou Jinyu stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, "Although this place is a blessed land, judging from the trend of the surrounding dragon veins, there should be a beetle snake hidden underground, and the beetle snake is a god of deception, and there must be many dangers inside." ”
Zhou Jinyu raised her head, "It's not too early this day, it's time for the wind......"
"It sounds a bit like a ......magic stick," Song Yuan gritted with his cheeks, "I read a report that there was a person abroad who claimed to be a prophet of the future, and there were many supporters around him, so the local TV station sent a reporter to interview, and the reporter asked at the time, "Can you really predict the prophet?", the man replied yes, and then the reporter went up and slapped the man, and the man was directly beaten. Then the reporter sneered at the man and said, "If you can't tell the prophet, why can't you guess that you will be slapped by me......?" Do you believe this kind of divine stick?"
"Neither your father nor I believe it, but in fact this guy is not a god, but really has the ability," Stuart shrugged, "and he did lead us into the ancient pyramids. ”
