Section 396 Pyramid of Khufu (7)

I saw that the delicate door actually had the door lock tightly locked, we commanded the nimble drone to reconnoiter next to the door, and finally found a delicate key in the recessed stone lattice not far away, not too far away, it seems that this is the key to this door, the drone finally tried its best to put the key at the keyhole of the ancient door, and after turning several times flexibly, the extremely mysterious door was opened with a bang. We all widened our eyes and looked in, only to see that it was a not very big secret room, many times smaller than the king's tomb we just entered, and the height was reduced a lot, but although the sparrow is small, it is complete, and it is also carefully carved, the wall of the steel rock is polished very smooth, and it is still full of colorful paintings, but the light of the drone is a little weak, we can't see it very really, we can only vaguely see that there are still many beautiful Egyptian ancient murals on the smooth wall, what is the specific pattern, it is too vague to see clearly, and there are some densely written dense bright Egyptian ancient red letters, suddenly, We saw that a black thing seemed to be squirming in the far corner of the secret room, like a cloud of black smoke or something else, and we could hear some subtle sounds, could it be that the black thing was not smoke or something, we were thinking about what this black fog was, and suddenly saw that the image brought back by the drone was suddenly interrupted, Xiaofei's mobile phone was pitch black, what happened to the drone, what happened, that side was silent, quiet, and did not hear any sound from the drone at the last moment, could it be that the drone accidentally hit the wall and fell apart, but it is unlikely, This drone is very accurate, it will not make such a low-level mistake, and there was no loud noise over there just now, what the hell is going on, everyone looks at each other, obviously at a loss by this sudden situation.

"Not good, there is a situation, the farther away from this passage the better, I think we may open Pandora's box, maybe there is a disaster, everyone must be cautious, not slack and sloppy, I think this is getting more and more dangerous, the clearer the opponent, the easier it is to deal with, now we are even confused about the opponent, how to deal with it, we must be more careful, so only be prepared, and then when the time comes, the soldiers will block, wait for the opportunity to move, and deal with it flexibly. Xiao Fei carefully lowered his voice and said to us.

Everyone hurriedly stayed away from the entrance of the passage, and watched the movement at the entrance of the passage vigilantly, only to hear a more and more clear sound from the entrance of the passage, it seems that it is the black thing we saw through the drone just now, and now the thing is about to come out, but what is this black thing? Finally, the black and swarthy thing probed the brain, and crawled out violently, it turned out that the black fog that we couldn't see just now was actually a large pile of black and swarthy things wriggling with dense cobras, they were smooth and moving rapidly against the entrance of the tomb, opening their teeth and dancing claws, menacing, pretentious, as if no one was next to spitting out the red core, like a pile of red and glamorous fire, energetically squeezing out of the probe brain from the mouth of the passage, but fortunately this passage mouth is not big, otherwise it is really like a black waterfall flowing down。 We were lucky to stay away, otherwise it would have been dangerous, this is one of the most poisonous animals, and if you bite it, you could die at any time. And good guys, these snakes are big and big, two or three meters long, they can also flexibly erect their bodies, which is more hideous, it is really terrifying, my mind involuntarily flashed in Baidu Encyclopedia that this is the famous, famous Egyptian cobra introduction - a large venomous snake with a strong body and strong poison, with a length of 1.5-3 meters, is a creature of the cobra genus of the reptilian class scaly cobra family. It is mainly distributed in North Africa and the Middle East, and is active near the Sahara Desert and the Syrian Desert. The most striking features are the large head and neck, as well as the broad beak. The eyes are larger than those of other snakes, and they have rounded pupils. The skinfolds of the neck can be as wide as 15 to 18 cm when bulging. The Egyptian cobra is the most common cobra in Africa.

I used to see it on TV and in movies through the screen, and I could accept it, but now I see this crawling and writhing cobra with my own eyes, and I still can't help but get goosebumps and feel uncomfortable. It turned out that this was the place dedicated to the Egyptian cobras, which were the palaces of these Egyptian cobra snakes, and these passages were probably the corridors of the palace for snakes to pass through, allowing these snakes to guard the tombs of the pharaohs. These pampered snakes have lived here for a long time, and they don't know where the snake's palace is connected, how they spent thousands of years, and they are still committed to guarding the pyramid of the pharaohs, which is really incomprehensible. However, although the pyramid is large, it is estimated that it is difficult for the creatures to turn around, and they probably find a steady supply of food from nowhere in the years to come, so now that thousands of years have passed, they are still alive and vivid, ready to pounce on us, scrambling to poke out their iconic triangular heads from the mouth of the passage, and there is no doubt that our poor drone was swallowed into their stomachs.

But the snakes felt very good, and their vanguard seemed to sense our presence, and they were not afraid of them by holding their distinctive triangular heads up with their distinctive triangular heads, erecting their bodies unscrupulously, and daring to rampage towards us. We were in danger, after killing more than a dozen unstoppable cobras, the heads of those cobras were still stubborn, and they refused to give up and continued to open their blood-red snake mouths, spitting cores, and persistently maintained this posture for a long time.

But the situation ahead is even worse, after we killed the dozen or so snakes that began to come out, there were a steady stream of snakes coming out of the tomb entrance behind, if there were people with dense phobia it was estimated that they would faint on the spot, "Quick, ignition," Duan Gongzi hurriedly said, if the arrogance of those dense cobras is much less, they probably feel that they are not our opponents, and hurriedly hid in the passage again, we had to use the fire to burn dozens of cobras who are not afraid of heaven and earth and are not afraid of death, and then sealed the mouth of the passage with a raging fire, and the rising smoke is estimated to smoke those snakes back into the hole, which will all run out and get in the pyramid to scurry, that is terrible, now it is okay, it is estimated that they will not come out for a long time。

Hu Jiaojiao suddenly screamed in fright, and slashed at the wall with a shining sword, Wang Gongzi asked puzzledly, what are you doing, what are you doing to cut the wall, Hu Jiaojiao panicked and said Isn't this a snake crawling to the wall, I am cutting a snake. Everyone laughed, it turned out that Hu Jiaojiao was too frightened just now, and the cobra painted on the wall was a real snake, and it was a random chop, which was really destroying cultural monuments, but it was also strange that the painter painted it so well, lifelike, vivid, so that Hu Jiaojiao was a soldier, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so we hurriedly walked out.

Zeng Lu and Hu Jiaojiao said as they walked: "Oh, what's the matter with this Egyptian pharaoh, so many cute animals don't like it, they actually like such a terrifying cobra, and they still wear a cobra on their heads, oops, looking at it makes people shudder, shudder, and tremble, I want to think that there are two snakes coiled on my head, and I really have hair all over my body." “

Xiao Fei said disapprerovingly: "That's true, on the murals in the tomb, you can see cobras everywhere." The ancient Egyptians not only loved snake dances, but also used cobras as decorations on pharaohs' masks and scepters. What is it about the cobra that makes it so frequent in Egyptian carvings and paintings? There are many snakes in Egypt, and the most common of these snakes is the cobra. Since ancient times, there have been many snake dancers in Egypt, dressed in colorful clothes and holding a flute in their hands. As soon as these wandering snake dancers play the flute, the snakes snaked themselves to their feet and sway to the music, as if they had been magically cast. Why do cobras fall under the control of snake dancers? Not because they can read people's intentions, but because cobras are sensitive to music and dance to the rhythm when they hear the sound of a flute. But the ancient Egyptians did not think so, they saw the cobra stretching its waist into the sky, and believed that the cobra was a messenger sent by the gods. Since they are messengers of the gods, the world must treat them well, so that these cobras can convey the wishes of mortals to the gods. During the time of the pharaohs, Egypt carved a third eye for the cobra, using them to represent the king of power and see the world. The ancient Egyptians believed that snakes were sacred objects, things that showed identity, which is why cobra decorations were used a lot on pharaohs' utensils. Snakes like to live in shady, damp, inaccessible, overgrown weeds, woods, hollows of fir trees or piles of rocks, with firewood stacks and ancient earthen walls, and rich in bait, these are the places where they live, haunt and breed, and some snakes inhabit the water. They inhabit the tombs, so it is normal for us to see them here, but we didn't expect that the Egyptians at that time would build such a splendid and beautiful snake palace for these sacred snakes in their minds, which really opened our eyes. “
