Chapter 124: The Truth About the Underground Pyramid (Part I)
Here is the earth, the underground pyramids.
Freed from the armor of the samurai, the three of them walked easily through the winding underground passages. After walking some distance, they came to a straight passage, and in an instant, two rows of candles were lit together, and the boat shuddered.
"Hahaha! Where did all the pride you just now go? It seems that a person's nature is not so easy to overcome. Michelle scoffed.
"It's so long-winded." Xiaozhou gave her a blank look, and then Crocoxi said happily: "Look at the wall!" ”。
The passage is lit by candlelight, and the walls on both sides are clearly painted with colorful frescoes. This wall is like a comic strip, as if telling an incredible story, and only those who have passed the trials are qualified to reap the fruits of this victory.
"It is impossible to have a mechanism next to such a precious historical site to protect this intricately carved mural. It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth! Korokoxi said with a smile.
So the three of them began to search for the truth of the underground pyramid little by little, and from the description of the contents of the mural, the story is generally like this.
Ancient Egypt has had legends since ancient times that bring people back from the dead, known as mummification legends. About 4,500 years ago, Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt mobilized the power of the whole country to build the pyramids. At that time, such a huge amount of work was an extremely difficult task, so there were often major accidents such as collapses and casualties, and thousands of slaves were buried here. Slowly, opposition to the construction of the pyramids grew louder across the country, leading to several serious work stoppages. For this reason, Egypt's high-ranking officials and magnates are deeply puzzled.
However, miracles soon befell this magical desert. Suddenly, one day, the sky was cloudy, lightning and thunder. This unusual sight was mistaken for the work of the gods, who knelt down on the ground and begged for forgiveness. At this moment, a crack opened in the sky, and a blue surging door-like object appeared in the sky out of thin air, like a gate to hell, and four crystal clear stones were scattered around the gate, holding up the entire gate.
After that, something even more incredible happened, just as the door of legend was about to close, a man fell from inside, and at the same time, the four mysterious stones also fell. The man was dressed strangely and spoke a different language, and the people around him looked at him dumbfounded, thinking that he was a god descending from heaven, but no one dared to say anything. At this time, the soldiers of the king's army received an order to arrest him immediately and return to the city, and the soldiers looked at the man for a long time and did not dare to do anything, and the man was also talking incoherently, and finally had to rush up.
At this time, a dramatic scene appeared, the man sensed his danger, waved his hands, and actually formed a huge grit hand in the desert, the man waved his right hand, and the huge grit hand suddenly slapped the ancient Egyptian soldiers like a volleyball. The man snapped his fingers and muttered something to his mouth, and a great whirlpool appeared in the middle of the desert, burying the poor soldier under the sand. The people around him were finally able to confirm that he was indeed a god, and they all knelt down in front of him again and begged for forgiveness. Pharaoh was also shocked by this, and longed to see the dignity of the gods, and in this way, the man entered the palace in the welcome of the whole country.
"That's! Falling from the sky, can you still manipulate the yellow sand? Are you sure it's not a myth? Xiao Zhou said suspiciously.
"I don't believe people could be bored to that extent. I still believe it's all true, maybe it's magic from another world! Korokoxi said with a focused expression.
Michelle and Xiaozhou tense again, continuing to search for the truth from thousands of years ago.
In the years that followed, the man was offered as a saint, and soon he learned the local language, and to everyone's puzzlement, he refused to allow anyone to record and depict him, as if this man had never appeared in the history of ancient Egypt, so he is not present in today's history. Then his body became weaker and weaker, he had a splitting headache every day, he knew that his time was running out, he tried to find a way to save himself, but he refused to be treated with any herbs or medicines, and perhaps as he himself said, he was not sick, but cursed. Just as he was about to give up, he found a legend about the mummy.
Legend has it that mummies made from special bandages and mystical recipes can put people to sleep, and after a thousand years, they can be awakened again and given eternal life. And it is precisely because of this legend that Pharaoh has been urging his slaves to build pyramids, and the pyramids are also the new home where Pharaoh will sleep for a thousand years. The man then approached Pharaoh to persuade him to intensify his efforts to build the pyramid, and he himself would use his "divine powers" to help Pharaoh build the pyramid. Soon with the help of that man, the pyramid was built, but he thought of a key problem, although the pyramid existed, but it is not burglar-proof, he will sleep here for a thousand years, if only the treasure is stolen, it is okay to say, but if his body is destroyed, it is equivalent to the loss of all efforts. So, the man proposes to pick out the most loyal and strongest followers and build underground pyramids in secret!
After the construction of the above-ground pyramid, the state found two dead ghosts to play the role of pharaoh and queen, and made ordinary mummy corpses that could not be resurrected, and lay them in the pyramids on the ground. Rumors were then spread that the pyramid was completely built and that the pharaoh and queen would be buried here when they died. At the same time, the officials who recorded the copywriting also had no knowledge of the underground pyramid, and to put it bluntly, no one knew about the existence of the underground pyramid except for those followers, the pharaoh, the queen and the man. So to this day, no one will find underground pyramids, and the above-ground pyramids are just for the sake of concealment.
Since then, the god-like man has led his followers to build underground pyramids all day and night, although his time is getting less and less, and his health is getting worse and worse, but he still dedicates all his "divine power" and energy to this mysterious and unknown hope, maybe this is the only thing he can do now.
According to the project's vision, a splendid palace was built at the bottom of the pyramid above ground, which was the underground pyramid in the pharaoh's heart. Pharaoh's reverence for the man even invited him to be buried with him in the golden underground pyramid, but the man refused him. The underground pyramid was being built in secret, and the pharaoh's body could not hold on for so long, he thought that the underground pyramid was just a small palace "undisturbed" directly below the pyramid above ground.
In fact, that man had a different plan in his heart, after all, the followers who built the underground pyramid were now loyal to him alone!
Sure enough, a few months later, just as the man had expected, Pharaoh had died before him.
