The dawn in the desert is also relatively early, and now there is something hot in the summer and July, and the day is already cloudy at four o'clock in the morning and less than five o'clock.
Wang Lihong was awakened by a slight movement, he cautiously opened his eyes, and waited until the old man walked out of the door, he slowly got up.
"What is he going to do?" Wang Lihong followed curiously.
I saw the old man walk to the edge of the thick city wall, and use the strangely shaped gold ornament on his chest to inlay it in the groove on a huge stone on the city wall. The boulder slowly shrank inside, and opened a stone door directly.
"Damn, there's still a mechanism here!" Wang Lihong was a little surprised, and saw that the old man had been in for a minute or two, and he also slowly touched it.
Upon entering, he discovers that it is just a secret stone door that normally enters the Twilight Zone. It was already dark, but it was still dark in the twilight zone.
Wang Lihong saw the old man walking forward on the street, so he secretly followed him.
After a long journey, he finally entered a temple.
Wang Lihong also secretly followed.
The temple was very large, almost ten meters high, and was built entirely of huge strips of stone, each of which was about three meters long and one meter wide. There are four stone pillars with a diameter of about three meters on the four sides of the hall, and the stone pillars are carved with a lot of flower and bird figures, and all of them are still colored, which looks very gorgeous.
There are frescoes on the walls on the left and right sides of the temple, but these are not oil paintings, but pure carvings. The pictures carved on the walls are all different.
The carved on the left are some animals, there are many animals, but Wang Lihong can only understand a few, including wolves and snakes; There was a winged eagle man flying in the sky, and it seemed that she was still a woman. Wang Lihong couldn't understand what this was trying to express.
The wall on the right is all carved with people, including a man with a crown on his head. He wears a long gown, which resembles a robe. He had a scepter in his hand and sat on a splendid throne with a large number of people bowing down to him, who looked like Pharaoh.
However, what attracted Wang Lihong the most was not these carvings, but something else in the temple, a multicolored statue that almost reached the top of the temple.
Wang Lihong took a closer look, and the statue was a wolf-headed human body, standing like a human. Holding a half-crescent-shaped scepter in his hand, he is unusually mighty.
"Isn't this the statue of Anubis?" Wang Lihong recognized it at a glance. But this is not surprising, after all, this pharaoh's burial chamber or something, many of them have statues of Anubis, guarding their tombs.
"What's that?" Wang Lihong saw that there was a huge stone bottle on the side of the statue of Anubis, and when he looked closely, he understood that it was a huge stone coffin.
The old man knelt and posed in front of the coffin. Something was still chanting in his mouth, it should be a sacrifice or something.
Wang Lihong was very puzzled: "Why is he worshipping this?" And also. How could there be a sarcophagus in this temple? That's weird, isn't it? ”
A few minutes passed, and Wang Lihong looked at the old man, so he quickly retreated, returned from the same way, and ran back to the hut outside the city.
When he went back, Lan Xi hadn't woken up yet, he crept down. Pretend to be asleep.
Ten minutes later, the old man returned.
The first thing he said when he entered the room was shocking: "Don't pretend, follow me for so long, think I don't know." ”
Only then did Wang Lihong know that the tracking he had just followed had been revealed. Extremely embarrassed, he slowly stood up and said to the old man, "I'm sorry, I was also curious just now. ”
"Sometimes, curiosity can cost you your life." The old man was concise and appalling every time.
Wang Lihong couldn't care so much, he knew that this old man must know something about this city, maybe he could help him get Professor Wang out, so he directly asked: "Old man, I really need your help, my friend has been cursed and is now trapped in the city." ”
The old man scooped the water into the hanging pot one by one, and when the water was almost done, he began to make a fire.
When the fire was already burning strongly, he responded: "You have Pharaoh's things in you, too." ”
When Wang Lihong heard him say this, he was a little excited, and immediately went into the house, took out the god wrap from his backpack, handed it to the old man, and said, "Well, I have a pharaoh's god wrap. ”
As soon as the old man saw this divine wrap, he immediately became a little excited, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
When Wang Lihong saw him in this state, he knew that he must know something, so he told him the truth and told him all the origin of this divine wrap.
"But I don't know how to open it, and I don't know what's inside." Wang Lihong said very calmly.
"Of course you can't unlock this code, this Sumerian language has been lost for more than 2,000 years." The old man looked at the god wrap and said excitedly.
Wang Lihong was immediately overjoyed, this only glanced at it, and he knew that the carving of this god was in Sumerian, just based on this point, Wang Lihong felt that this old man had material.
"Well, it's Sumerian." Wang Lihong looked at the old man excitedly.
The old man was a little excited, stuffed the god wrap back into Wang Lihong's hand, and urged him: "Young man, you go quickly, you get out of here quickly." ”
Wang Lihong didn't understand the old man's strange behavior, and immediately refused: "No, we can't go, our friends are still in that city." ”
"You must go, or the consequences will be devastating." The old man urged them to leave urgently.
At this time, Lan Xi had also woken up, heard the old man's words, and immediately ran to Wang Lihong's side.
"Old man, if you want us to go, then you have to tell us why." Wang Lihong broke free of the old man's pushing hands, and his tone of voice was much higher.
The old man sighed heavily, as if he had made a big decision, before he spoke: "Young man, I know that there is a great power in your body, this is an ancient power, and this power is the source of his resurrection. ”
"Resurrection? Who will be resurrected? Wang Lihong asked curiously.
"Pharaoh Menes." The old man said.
"Hasn't he been dead for thousands of years, and he's been mummified. Could it be that this mummy is going to be resurrected? Wang Lihong was a little out of tune when he heard it.
The old man shook his head and said, "The rumors may not be credible. In fact, Pharaoh Menes was not made into a real mummy, but into a terrifying monster. He mummified twenty-four of his most faithful servants, turned them into guardians, guarded the city, and placed a curse on the city in order to wait until one day it could be fully resurrected. ”
"What? Are you saying that Pharaoh Menes didn't die? Wang Lihong's eyes were about to pop out.
The old man corrected Wang Lihong's statement and said, "No, Pharaoh Menes is indeed dead, but he has not been successfully mummified, so he has become something else. ”
Wang Lihong looked at Lan Xi, the look in their eyes was very surprised, this was completely wrong, this was obviously a clue to find the emperor lion, why did he jump into such a mess. But the clue says "Great Spirits Wait in the Twilight", and the map is correct. Could it be a trap? Is that the great spirit talking about this Menes? Which Menes designed a conspiracy that spanned several continents in order to resurrect himself?
Wang Lihong thought it was funny, if this was the case, the hairy Three Kings Beast would come out, wouldn't it be okay to just trick him over, so this definitely doesn't make sense.
