Chapter 50: The Main Burial Chamber
Illusion, this must be an illusion~!
Yes, it must be an illusion that my heart is too evil~!
Su Cheli admonished himself in his heart, and forcefully twisted his neck like rust to the side, forcing his eyes to look at the rock wall in the passage-
If it continues to be so 'exciting', I really can't get it 'hot' to die here~........
With this thought in mind, Su Cheli tried his best to follow Ye Xiaohan in the 'ventilation duct' and gradually crawled forward........
...............
Inside the pyramid
Somewhere in a wide, somewhat dimly lit cavern space—
The surrounding rock walls show a completely different characteristics from other rock walls of the pyramid with their deep blue-black hue - the craggy stone stalactites like a crypt hang down, and from time to time a few drops of water slide from the bottom of the stone stalactites and fall on the same blue-black rock ground, splashing a pool of brilliant and beautiful pearl flowers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that there should not be such a rock wall inside a pyramid in the desert, after all, ordinary pyramids are artificial 'brick piles', and it is impossible to have caves with rock walls and stalactites on them, as can only exist in areas with abundant water..........
However, this is limited to the normal confines of an ordinary pyramid – obviously, this Pyramid of the Jackal is not in the 'normal' category, and the sheer size and interior space that surpasses the historical record suggests that it is definitely an 'extraordinary' pyramid.
In addition, the presence of a huge river symbolizing the 'Nile' is evident inside the Pyramid of the Jackal, so the appearance of the caves on the rock wall is not so unusual.
At this moment, at the end of this cave, in front of a huge blue-black stone door—
Hinasaki Fukaha was standing quietly in front of the gate, holding a flashlight in his left hand to shine at the blue-black gate, while rubbing his delicate jaw with his right hand, and muttered to himself:
"The sun rises and the sun sets, a forbidden object that symbolizes the cycle of life and death, guarding the soul usher who has been sleeping for a long time.
The river of gestation that surrounds the underworld, the steps of bones that guide the soul,
Both,
Hinder life to death, stop death from death!
Here—"
"Only, all disasters are in place, and the wheel is over-life and death!"
After Hinasaki Fukaha finished reciting the ancient Egyptian characters on the gate, her delicate eyebrows furrowed deeply, and a thick look of confusion appeared on her delicate face, and she said to herself with some puzzlement:
"Strange, what do these words mean?"
With that, she bowed her head and fell into deep thought.
Just now, Hinsaki Fukaha had crossed the extended suspension bridge over the river and came to the opposite bank, and there was only a small clearing on the other bank, and the clearing was surrounded by cliffs, except for a dim cave passage on the side of the rock wall. Therefore, Hinasaki Fukaha walked along the cave passage, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, he came to this cave space.
In other words, Hinasaki Fukaha didn't encounter any mechanism along the way, and he walked in front of this blue-black gate as if he were walking on the ground, and then he encountered a problem that stopped him-
"Wait~! Do you say ........"
Hinsaki Fukaha kept looking at the ancient Egyptian characters engraved on the gate, and then as if she remembered something, her gaze hurriedly moved to the center of the gate-
In the center of the gate is a large ring carved with six round coats of arms of different shapes, each of which is carved with five motifs - a stone ball, a river, a slab, a black cat, and a jackal's head.
That's right, there are only five of the six badges, because there is not just one badge engraved with the 'black cat' motif in it, but a total of two 'black cat' badges.
In addition, the central ring has a row of six indentations, of which the lower three indentations are arranged directly in a straight line, while the upper three indentations are distributed in a triangular position—two on the left and right sides of the bottom, and one in the middle of the top.
"Could it be that these round badges have something to do with the dents on the inside of the ring? If you look at it this way, it seems that they can be ......... the right shape."
Hinsaki Fukaha speculated to herself as she walked over to one of the badges and reached out to break it hard, and sure enough, the badge was easily broken off by her.
"Hmm~, it seems to be!"
Hinata Fukaha looked at the 'Stone Ball' badge in his hand, which confirmed his previous guess, but it also led to the next question-
"If I'm going to buckle these round badges down and put them on the dents, what is the order in which they are arranged........"
Hisaki Fukaha muttered softly to herself, while her eyes stayed on the pattern of the six badges, and her mind was constantly speculating on their relevance, possibility, and other information-
Stone balls, rivers, slabs, cats, jackal heads.........
Not enough, this information is not enough!
And also! There must be some more information! What exactly is this message? What the hell is .........
'Ancient Egyptian Script'!
A spiritual light flowed through Hinasaki Fukaha's mind, instantly illuminating the heavy fog!
"I see........"
Hinsaki Fukaha's confident smile appeared, and with that delicate and pretty face that captivated the country and the city, it looked so dazzling under the bright flashlight light that it was difficult to take your eyes off.
"It turns out that the three dents below should represent different 'organs'!"
Hinasaki Fukaha muttered as she pressed the 'stone ball' in her hand into the row of three dents below, the bottom one-
Syllable~!
The 'Stone Ball' badge was perfectly pressed into the bottom dent by Hinasaki Fukaha, and then she said to herself:
"The 'Stone Ball' represents the 'Apophis' I saw in the other passage, and it is supposed to be the first 'trap', so it is located in the bottom dent notch. At the same time, the 'stone ball' also corresponds to the first sentence of the ancient Egyptian script engraved on the gate in front of you - 'The sun rises and the sun sets, symbolizing the forbidden object of the cycle of life and death.' ’”
"So, if you follow this line of reasoning.........."
Hinsaki Fukaha walked briskly over to the other 'river' badge, reached out and snapped it off hard, and then walked back to the center of the gate—
"Although I didn't continue in the other passage, the ancient Egyptian text on the gate clearly indicates that the next mechanism in the other passage is the 'River of Conception around the Underworld', the so-called 'Nile'!"
Hinsaki Fukaha aimed the 'River' badge in her hand at the three dents in the row below, the one in the middle, and then she pressed it hard-
Syllable~!
Hinsaki Fukaha got up and walked over to the 'Steps' badge again, snapped off the badge as before, and walked back to the center of the gate—
"The 'Bone Staircase that Guides the Soul' corresponds to the 'Steps' badge!"
Syllable~!
With the sound of light and pleasant words and a crisp clapping sound, the 'Steps' badge was pressed by Hinasaki Fukaha into the bottom row of dents, the top dent.
Since then, the three dents representing the 'trap' have all been filled!
Hinasaki Fukaha stopped moving, looked at the three dents in the triangular array above, and at the same time gently rubbed his cheeks with his jade fingers, and whispered to himself:
"In the triangular arrangement above, there are still two badges of 'Black Cat' and 'Jackal Head', so ........."
Speaking of this, Hinasaki Fukayu suddenly remembered the days when she used to study with Su Cheli before-
"Senior~, why did the ancient Egyptians like cats so much, but they didn't erect a guard statue with the image of a 'cat' in front of the entrance to the pyramid?"
Hinsaki Fukayu slowly closed the "Structure of the Egyptian Pyramids" in front of him, and asked Su Cheli, who was immersed in a book beside him.
Hearing this, Su Cheli gently closed the "Detailed Explanation of the Indian Mythology System: Maya Chapter" in front of him, turned his head to Hinasaki Fukayu and explained:
"You know, Shen Yu - although the ancient Egyptians were very fond of cats, it was because in their concept, 'cats' had the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing them. As a result, the ancient Egyptians often kept cats in their homes to ensure the expulsion of evil spirits and the suppression of evil spirits. However, most of the pyramids were tombs built to preserve the remains of the 'pharaoh', and if the cat-shaped statue was prevented at the door, wouldn't it be tantamount to suppressing the 'pharaoh' in it and preventing him from returning to the human world? ”
"This kind of behavior is not in line with the ancient Egyptians' respect for the 'pharaoh', after all, they built the pyramids and mummified them to preserve the body of the 'pharaoh', waiting for the day when he returned to the world from the 'underworld'."
Hinasaki Fukayu suddenly realized: "I see~!" By the way, I think they often put a statue of a jackal-headed man at the door of the pyramid, so what's going on? ”
Su Cheli stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, and explained:
"Because in the folklore myths and legends of the ancient Egyptians, the image of the jackal's head is the symbol of 'Anubis', the 'guide of the souls'. Legend has it that 'Anubis' is a jackal-headed human body, and that he is the guide and guardian of the souls of the dead, protecting and guiding them to the 'Judgment'. If the soul of the decant is injured a second time on the way to the 'Judgment Room', it will cause the soul to be unable to return to the human world in the future, that is, it will no longer be able to enter its own body to complete the resurrection. ”
"Because, once the soul is harmed, it will become inconsistent with the original body and cannot fit in, for example, the photo on the 'ID card' does not 'match' the person, so that the citizen becomes a 'black household' in one fell swoop. Once this comes, the souls of the dead will have to live forever in the 'underworld'. ”
After speaking, Su Cheli took the "Structure of the Egyptian Pyramids" in front of Hinsaki Fukayu, turned to one of the pages with his memory, stretched out his hand and pointed to the jackal-headed human statue on this page, and continued to explain to Hinsaki Fukayu:
"Therefore, after the death of the 'pharaoh', the ancient Egyptians not only mummified his corpse, but also placed a statue of the jackal's head in his tomb, the pyramid, which means that 'Anubis' will guard his soul to the 'between judgments' and ensure that he can return from the 'underworld' and return to the world for resurrection in the future."
"That's why there are 'Anubis' statues at the entrances of the Egyptian pyramids, but there are no 'cat' statues!"
..................
"'Black Cat' represents evil spirits and suppression, and 'Jackal Head' represents 'Anubis', so .........."
Hinasaki Fukaha's mouth muttered the meaning of the two, and then there was a hint of enlightenment on her pretty face, and she turned around and walked to the 'black cat' badge, and forcefully removed all the two 'black cat' badges, and then casually took off the last 'jackal's head' badge next to her.
Then, she turned around and walked back to the central position, and whispered to herself: "Senior~, what you taught me........"
Bang~!
The two 'black cat' badges were pressed hard into the left and right sides under the triangle by Hinasaki Fukaha, and at the same time, a line of tears slowly flowed down the sides of Hinasaki Fukaha's cheeks-
"I have a good memory~!"
Bang~!
The last 'Jackal Head' badge was smashed hard into the center of the triangle by Hisaki Fukaha!
At this moment, the blue-black gate suddenly shuddered, and a liquid crystal green light rose from the bottom of the gate, following the ring pattern in the center, gradually flowing through the six badges inside the ring.
Eventually, all the sparkling green rays converged on the top of the gate, rendering the central crack into a green color, and—
Squeak~!
The blue-black door opened slowly, and the moment the crack in the door was completely opened—
Bang~!
A visible golden shockwave was generated, extending outward along the cavern space, as if it were about to shake the entire pyramid!
Boom~!
Hinasaki Fukaha was hit by this golden shockwave, and the whole person was knocked into the air and flew to the rock wall behind him-
Pound~!
Then she felt a darkness in front of her eyes and fell into a complete coma.........
...................
Somewhere inside the passage
Xiong Jianhua was running frantically, turning one bend after another from time to time, although he was very tired now, really tired, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, because the faint sound of gunfire behind him was reminding him that the crisis had not yet dissipated.
Similarly, Angelia was also running wildly on the side, and the two seemed to have entered a passage with many curves, but it was precisely because of this that the two were not directly shot by the members of the 'Demon Scorpion' who were chasing after them.
However, the situation of the two of them is already a little bad, and the continuous situation since entering the Jackal Pyramid has seriously depleted the physical strength of the two. Especially Angelia, with her physical ability as a woman, she can still maintain a distance from Xiong Jianhua at such a moment, which can be said to be very incredible.
However, the members of the 'Demon Scorpion' behind them seemed to be very familiar with the internal structure of the pyramid, which could be seen from the fact that they did not consume much physical energy, and they were constantly closing in on Xiong Jianhua and Angelia with this physical advantage.
At this time, after Xiong Jianhua and Angelia turned a corner, their vision suddenly became empty, and there was only a narrow straight passage in front of them-
A desperate expression couldn't help but appear on Xiong Jianhua's face, because it meant that he and Angelia were likely to be caught up by the 'Demon Scorpion' members behind him before they could finish this passage...... Shoot!
However, he had to run, and even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would struggle with the instinct to survive.
And just as Xiong Jianhua and Angelia ran into this straight passage, the figures of the members of the 'Demon Scorpion' organization appeared faintly at the corner behind them-
Bang~!
A violent vibration came from behind, almost shaking Xiong Jianhua to fall, and then he subconsciously looked back and found a scene that made him ecstatic in his heart-
Boom~!
A large stone wall of traps seemed to slide down from above the entrance to the straight passage due to the shaking just now, blocking the members of the 'Demon Scorpion' who were pursuing behind them.
..............
Before the huge stone wall
The middle-aged man looked at the stone wall in front of him, involuntarily clenched his hands, and roared angrily:
"What's going on? Someone must have opened the main burial chamber to trigger the 'prayer' mechanism, could it be that they divided their forces at the first fork? However, this is not possible at all~! In the 'Moon Passage leading to the main burial chamber on the right side of the fork in the fork, there are no footprints of them at all~! ”
(The first fork is the fork before entering the 'Rolling Stone Corridor', and there are passages on the left and right sides.) )
"What the hell is going on~!!"
