The ten-meter-wide passage is equivalent to two lanes, and there are stone oil lamps every five meters on both sides. The oil lamp www.biquge.info is also very simple, a slender rectangular stone, half a person high, about a palm's length and width, and at the top is a stone bowl, similar to the blue-edged bowl used for eating at home, filled with grease, and the wick in the middle is lit.

It's about phosphorus or magnesium in the wick that burns when exposed to air, and if the oil runs out, it will take at least a whole night.

"Let's hurry up, who knows if there are ventilation holes in there." Rudolph strode ahead, followed by those behind him.

Sure enough, he was right, when he walked for a while, he heard a slight "poof" sound behind him, and when he looked back, the oil lamp behind him began to go out irregularly, obviously there was no air.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Everyone immediately ran.

Because everyone took care of Cheng Qianxun and Gross, they didn't let them carry supplies and equipment on their backs, so Cheng Qianxun was barely able to catch up.

The oil lamp continued to go out, and everyone's breathing became more and more rapid, which was a sign that they were competing with the oil lamp for oxygen. When we finally ran out of the corridor, everyone was stunned, there was a huge space in front of us, if it was just two lanes, then this is the international airport.

This is the labyrinth, where walls about five meters high twist and turn to form a huge labyrinth. Above the middle of the two doors, a lantern hangs high.

Lance walked over, touched the wall with his hand, until it reached the bottom, and then turned his head in dismay: "It's directly hollowed out inside the mountain, and this wall is directly connected to the ground, and there is no seam at all." ”

It takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to hollow out the center of the entire mountain and dig it into a labyrinth. King David's mound was built two thousand years after his death, a thousand years ago. It's hard to imagine that a thousand years ago, such a project existed, and the history books didn't record it.

"In 1099, the reorganized Crusader army captured Jerusalem and massacred a large number of the city's Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, killing more than 100,000 in all." Gross raised his arms and looked at the magnificent labyrinth in front of him, excited.

Snead sneered, "Apparently these should have been killed after the completion of this project, and I was still wondering why the Christian crusaders would build a tomb for a Jewish king." ”

Legel analyzes it from his own point of view: "It may be that because he saw the Ark of the Covenant and the gold, he did not dare to give the Ark of the Covenant to the Holy See for some reason, thinking that it was the stuff of the Jews, so he built this labyrinth and stored it specially. ”

Hoffman sighed slightly: "Who knows this, the flesh and blood of more than 100,000 people are sealed in the ground. ”

The First Crusade, in the name of religion, returned the Holy See to the Holy See in order to seize the Holy City. After receiving the result, it was not returned, and almost all the people in the Holy City were slaughtered, and the few survivors were sold into slavery. Maybe in history, it was just a few words, but at that time it was blood and life. It is said that when the horse was walking in the city, the blood-stained corpse did not reach the horse's knees.

And Gross was excited, touching here and looking there. At this time, I took a few steps back, looked left and right, the outer wall of the labyrinth with no end in sight, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I am in the university on the mountain every day, and I never thought that the ark of the covenant would always be under my feet!" ”

"I don't know if there is a covenant cabinet yet, but at this point, there is no turning back, let's go to the center to see what is going on!" As soon as Rudolph finished speaking, he heard a "bang" behind him.

Everyone turned around, and the original exit was sealed by a stone door that fell from above.

Gross thought for a moment and said, "It must be using the principle of vacuum compression." When the oxygen inside is exhausted, it triggers a trap and the stone door falls. ”

"You may not be able to go back!" Cheng Qianxun sneered: "If you can't use explosives, use a hoe and a hammer, this stone slab can be smashed open after ten days and eight days." ”

This is to drum up for everyone, so Regel also said: "A small amount of explosives can still be used, plus manpower, at most half a day." ”

The theory is that, in fact, many times, their lives are not in their own hands. Let's go, if the Ark of the Covenant is really in the center of the labyrinth, as long as it is touched, they win.

But there are two gates, which one should I enter?

All eyes were on Rudolph and Gordon, who was holding the map. Mullen and Hoffman were around Gordon, three professionals with field training experience, who should be able to read maps better than the average person.

Rudolph said helplessly: "Don't look at it, the entrance is painted at all, either it is old and the traces have been erased, or it is not painted at all." ”

Is the map itself wrong, or is it not drawn? Look at the two identical stone doors, left and right side by side on the tall stone walls of the labyrinth. And in the middle there is a permanent lamp, which is always on, emitting a dim light.

Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Is Judaism more important to the left or the right than the right?" ”

"It should all be on the left, and the human heart is on the left." Rudolph was quick to respond.

"It's better to be careful." Gross walked in and wiped the middle door frame with his hand. The dust that had been dusty for many years on it fell, revealing a line of words.

He discerned, and read slowly: "On the left is Jonathan; On the right is Mijia. ”

What do you mean? Don't talk about Cheng Qianxun, even others are confused.

As a Jew, Hoffman pondered for a moment: "Since it is King David, does it mean that Saul has two children who are related to King David?" ”

Now everyone was curious, so Gross explained the legend in general.

Saul was the king of the Jews, but he offended the prophet Samuel, so Samuel was commanded by God to turn to the people to find a new king. And David, the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem, was appointed by Samuel as the future king.

After the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, demons disturbed him from the Lord. Instructed that there must be someone who could play the harp and use music and hymns of praise to God to get the devil away, David became a player who sang for the king.

As David grew up, his appeal grew. Saul was disgusted and frightened, and David was so jealous that David suffered many troubles, but fortunately Saul's son intervened. Saul's hatred of David had reached an intolerable level, and David escaped with the help of his wife, Michal.

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to the right! Quite simply, since King David had escaped by michal, they could have entered safely by the door on the right.

Everyone walked into the door on the right, and Gross saw Cheng Qianxun holding a ball of thread in his hand, putting it away as he walked, and asked strangely, "What is this for?" ”

"I got the inspiration from the island maze, it was the one who Guan Minotaur." Cheng Qianxun continued to put the line, always just in case, even if they touched the ark of the covenant first, but this Professor Gross still had to go back, and he couldn't let him die here.

Hoffman sighed clearly in his heart: "You are really good-hearted, I really don't know how people like you have survived until now." ”

"Thanks to her kindness." Although Gross didn't know the inner meaning of Hoffman's words, he simply voiced his feelings: "That night, I saw you put money in the taxi. ”

"Really?" Cheng Qianxun smiled disapprehantly: "Anyway, we have enough money, and we don't have much left." ”

"It's not a question of how much." Gross also said the truth: "That's why I plan to cooperate with you, and you don't look like them." ”

Cheng Qianxun just smiled, since it was good to cooperate, he was just unhappy with the driver who was pushed down by Rudolph at that time. She continued to lay the rope, and the rest of the road was about the same as on the map, turning and turning, and at each time she walked, Rudolph made a mark on the wall or the ground, for fear that there would not be enough rope, or that something might happen.

Cheng Qianxun put down the rope and thought of the two people: "Later, what is the ending of these two, which should be counted as a prince and princess?" ”

Gross sighed slightly, "Jonathan died with his father Saul in the war against the Philistines; After King David left, Michal was forced by Saul to marry Rai's son Patiel. When King David became queen, he sent for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, saying that his wife Michal must be returned, because she had been hired with the skins of a hundred Philistines. ”

"What skin?" Cheng Qianxun was stunned for a moment, stopped to look at this Gross, and then continued to walk forward, muttering uncertainly: "Use this as a dowry, this is also... ”

Gross replied in the affirmative, "The Old Testament does write it (2 Samuel 3:14-16)." Saul wanted to go out to David, saying that if David wanted to marry the princess Michal, he had to kill a hundred Philistines. But David overdid it: his victory was 200 enemies. So David cut off a hundred pieces of skin, took them back, and married the princess. ”

Three thousand years ago, it was really funny, not to cut off people's heads, but to cut this. Also, this is easier to carry than a human head. Cheng Qianxun asked: "So did Mijia return to King David's side?" ”

"Yes!" Gross goes on to recount this long history: "In the same way (2 Samuel 3:14-16) Michal's husband followed her, weeping as he went, until he reached Bahulin. Abner (the commander who sent Mical) said, 'Go back.' So Patie went back. When the Ark of the Covenant was ushered into the holy city by King David, Michal saw him dancing and laughed at him for showing himself before the servants and maidservants as a lowly man. And King David answered, 'God made me depose your father and all your household, and made me king over Israel, and I am a contempt before God; But I am honorable before men. Michal the daughter of Saul had no children until the day of her death. (2 Samuel 6:21-24)"

"How can you have no children? King Solomon was not the son of King David, how did he come to be? As soon as Cheng Qianxun asked, he understood that it was another woman who gave birth. Solomon is said to have had a thousand women, and King David must have had no fewer women.

After reminiscing, Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Mi Jia already has a husband, and the relationship is very good, King David insisted that she was not because of feelings, but for the sake of face." And what did God say that he made him abolish her father and the whole family, it was too ruthless, right? ”

Hoffman interjected next to him: "It's not that it's abolished, but that all the rest can be killed and exiled." (To be continued.) )
