Chapter 260: Finding the Entrance
"Oh, there's one more thing. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The old beggar appeared again, and his slow appearance made people really anxious.
He held the glass as if he were holding a wine glass, and slowly sipped it, but it contained not fine wine but human blood. A person who drinks blood cannot be compared with an ordinary person.
He stuck out his blackened tongue, licked his lips, and laughed in a chattering voice: "Two maps enter from both sides, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is all up to you." ”
It seems that the two maps are different, and it turns out that you enter through two entrances. When Soros heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly beckoned someone to get into the car. The two cars left in the dust, kicking up a puff of dust.
When he was about to get into the car, Cheng Qianxun nodded to the beggar who was holding the cup with his hand to block the ashes, and said thank you. It's not for anything, the other party didn't insist on their blood, which itself was taking care of them.
The old beggar laughed, his mouth full of jagged black teeth: "You let two of your teammates die, and you still thank me?" ”
Cheng Qianxun was stunned for a moment, stood by the car door, thought about it and replied: "But at least it gave us a clue, how can we know if it can work if we don't try." ”
"Well, that's good!" The old beggar nodded: "I won't let you kill your teammates in vain, if you are smarter, you can die fewer people." ”
What do you mean? Cheng Qianxun was stunned, but the beggar disappeared again.
The teammates who originally wanted to urge also looked at the place where the beggar disappeared, but the other party never came out again.
After Cheng Qianxun got into the car, he muttered in his heart. She knew that in this game, there weren't enough reminders. It is impossible for people from the underworld to carry you over the floor, there is no such thing as a free lunch. There must be a meaning in these words, but you need to find out for yourself.
Sitting in the car, Sneijder was driving, Regel was in the passenger seat, and the rest were in the back of the van, discussing the next step.
Hoffman turned on his computer and concluded: "It is one of the mountains in the Kiberquenland wilderness northwest of the Dead Sea, about fifteen kilometers from here, very close. ”
Rudolph smiled suddenly: "It's really close to the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. ”
To the northwest of the Dead Sea, there is a dry river, and the rushing water has long since disappeared, leaving only a long meandering pit. There was not a drop of water around, it was all dry dirt and stones.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are said to have been in 70 A.D., when the Roman Empire captured Jerusalem and set fire to the Jewish Temple. The Hermit Jews who lived in the nearby community of Qumran at that time probably because they were inconvenient to carry them, or to avoid the destruction or loss of their precious books, stored a large part of their precious books in caves so that they could be preserved.
Similarly, more than 2,000 years ago, in order to protect the Ark of the Covenant, it must have been transported out of the temple in Jerusalem, and when it came to this place, it was perhaps hidden for fear that the Ark of the Covenant would fall into the hands of a foreign race.
The car drove all the way, even if the ground was uneven, and it took less than twenty minutes to reach the place shown in the treasure map.
Rudolph lowered the window, looked out, and pointed to one of the places with his hand: "This must be the human head shown on the map." ”
Hoffman and Mullen looked at the map, and then looked out the window, and on the hill on one side, there was indeed a bulge like a human head. The erosion of time has blown away the mud from the mountains, leaving behind a variety of similar shapes.
"Keep going, and then a hand." Hoffman said to Sneijder, who was the driver.
The car drove slowly forward, just to find the hand drawn on the treasure map. But on both sides of the cliff and at the bottom, there were no stones or figures similar to hands.
Sneijder stopped the car, and he was already at the exit of the mountain, and another hundred meters ahead was the mountain. He turned back to ask for advice: "Do you want to drive a little further, or do you want to go back?" ”
"I'll get out of the car and look for it!" Rudolph opened the door of the van: "We looked carefully enough just now, but we still didn't see it, so let's go all the way back and have a look." The entrance is nearby, next to the hand. ”
Cheng Qianxun and the others also got out of the car, letting Sneijder stop where he was first, and they walked all the way back, slowly looking left and right.
What is not handed, here except for dry mud is stone. I walked about seven or eight hundred meters, but I didn't find anything.
Cheng Qianxun was a little dizzy from the sun, and the sunlight here seemed to be too strong. It feels like walking in the desert or the wilderness.
A piece of clothing was draped over her head, blocking out a lot of sunlight. She looked sideways and saw that it was Gordon who had taken off his coat.
Gordon said kindly: "Oriental people like white, and girls don't look good when they get tanned." ”
Cheng Qianxun smiled and expressed his gratitude. I've walked so far, why haven't I found it yet? She turned her head and looked at where the car was parked. Sneijder and Reggle were still in the car, and although Soros couldn't see anyone now, he had to be vigilant at all times, maybe they came out of nowhere. In the end, if the opponent dies one more teammate, the strength will be weakened a lot.
The car was still there, Cheng Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around, she turned her body sharply again and blinked: "I found the position of my hand." ”
The other teammates turned around, Mullen frowned slightly, he didn't see anything: "Where?" ”
Looking at the clothes covered by Cheng Qianxun's head, Rudolph covered his brows with his hands, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a satisfied smile.
The cliffs on both sides of the vehicle are slightly lower, and from a distance, it looks like the hands are naturally folded together. Because the two sides are very separated, and the current sunlight is just direct, it needs to be slightly blocked to see a general idea.
Everyone returned to the same place, and the map showed that it was on the wrist of the hand.
"This hand is drawn on the left hand, so it should be the left side." Gordon analyzed.
"But the sign is at the wrist, so where is the entrance?" Mullen looked down from above on the cliff on the left, and the whole cliff was about a hundred meters or so: "Do you want to blow this side flat with explosives?" ”
Exploding is of course the quickest way, but the ark of the covenant is made of soapwood and gilded on the outside. After 3,000 years, God knows if it is so corrupt that it will become scum at the touch of it.
"Don't be violent all the time, let me see the map again." Rudolph looked at the map again, comparing it to the mountains in front of him.
Cheng Qianxun also looked at it, and indeed drew an outstretched left hand and a cross on the wrist.
"The focus is on location... Rudolph thought for a moment and used his hand to demonstrate: "If this hand is horizontal, then ... ”
Almost everyone pointed to a crack under the summit: "That's it!" ”
"Slow down, Cheng, be careful!" In the sound of instructions, Cheng Qianxun was hung down by the mountaineering rope.
When she arrived, she untied the rope with Regel's help and let the rope go up before hoisting the others down. She couldn't help but blame: "With you down there, and other teammates up there, I'm not so delicate." ”
Sneijder, who had already come down, smiled: "Even if you are not delicate, you must protect it well." ”
The last one was Mullen, who climbed down with a rope tied to the top of the mountain.
This is a natural hole, and the erosion of the residual wind and sand has carved holes in the mountain. This is true here, as is the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Although since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, thousands of caves have been swept through the area, trying to find more precious scriptures.
The hole was also found, and when he went deeper, Rudolph turned on a searchlight and found a torch on the ground that had not yet burned out. Judging from the wear and tear of the fabric that has not yet been weathered and cannibalized, it should be more than ten years ago, not very long.
Everyone continued to walk inside, and after walking for about ten meters, they reached the bottom. But in the innermost part, there was nothing but a picture of a woman carved on the wall.
The woman didn't know how long she had been on the wall, and it had long since weathered to the point that only a circle of silhouette remained. It is impossible to know whether the picture was colored when it was first engraved, but it can only be vaguely discerned that the woman was plump, dressed in an old robe with a turban, and sitting in a cattle cart.
"Who is this woman?" Cheng Qianxun was a little curious, so he looked for the entrance. Since it was spent here, the entrance should be nearby, or in this hole. But here is the head, and there is a mottled depiction, which must have a lot to do with the entrance.
"God knows who!" Legel muttered a little irritably.
"The sacred things that Michal dishonored, the beauty of Bathpah, the beauty of Absalom, the wisdom of Abigail." And most of the others jumped out of this passage of the words they saw when they came out of the labyrinth.
Maybe they should try, so everyone started playing dumb riddles. Absalom is a man, and one of the remaining three women should be the woman in the painting.
Hoffman thought for a moment and said, "It should be Abigail!" ”
Abigail was a wise and handsome woman, but her husband, the rich Nabal, was fierce and fierce. When King David first arrived, he politely sent someone to greet Nabal as a gesture of friendship, but he was scolded by Nabal: "What man? I haven't heard of it! Recently, there have been a lot of fugitives who have rebelled against their masters, and I don't care to associate with people who don't know their origins! At that time, King David was already the king's son-in-law, a mighty general, and Nabal's words showed how confused he was. This angered David, and he swore a poisonous oath: "If I keep one of Nabal's men until tomorrow morning, may God punish me severely!" (1 Samuel 25:22)
Abigail knew that her bastard husband had offended David, so she immediately prepared a rich gift and rode a donkey to intercept the murderous David and his team. She bowed down to the ground, first scolded her husband for being stupid, explained that she did not know the truth, and then tactfully said that David would have a troubled conscience if he went on a killing spree for this matter, and at the same time offered a generous gift to compliment David that he would become king of Israel. David was very happy to say this, his anger disappeared, and a bloody disaster disappeared without a trace.
When he returned, Nabal was still asleep, and the next day Abigail waited for Nabal to wake up and tell him about it. Immediately frightened, he didn't possess the eight souls, and understood who he had offended.
Hoffman replied to the picture: "This is supposed to be Abigail driving a donkey cart after David and his troops." (To be continued.) )
