Chapter Seventy-Five: A Thousand Years of Time with a Finger Click
After walking around the altar a few times, Zhao Qi's gaze was attracted by the quadrangular platform in the middle.
Zhao Qi turned over and jumped onto the high platform about two meters high.
There is nothing unusual about the high platform, except for a huge stone slab lying across it.
According to Zhao Qi's estimates, this place should have not been entered by living beings for thousands of years, but this stone slab is unusually clean, and there are dense circular fonts of the same size on the surface of the stone slab, and from the stone marks around the font, these fonts seem as if they have just been printed.
"Lily, there's some strange words on it, come and take a look." Zhao Qi couldn't understand these fonts, but Lili, who was familiar with history, might be able to understand them, so Zhao Qi beckoned to Lily below.
"Oh? I'll take a look. Although Lily was a little weak at this time because of the lack of water, she immediately came to her senses after hearing Zhao Qi's words, and her eyes lit up.
Zhao Qi jumped off the high platform and jumped up again with Lily in his arms.
"Ancient Egyptian round characters?" Lily exclaimed as soon as she looked at the circular fonts.
"What is a round character? Do you know each other? Zhao Qi asked.
These characters are ancient Egyptian round characters, which have been mentioned in Egyptian historical documents, but there is no specific description in the literature, only the words of the gods. I have carefully asked several Egyptian scientists, and according to them, there are many references to these texts in the Egyptian texts that have been unearthed, but none of them are recorded. It's just that in all the pyramids of Egypt there will be a few words of these words, and I didn't expect that there are also here. ”
"Do you know the words?" Zhao Qi was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Of all the ancient Egyptian characters, only one of them is in the Egyptian pyramids, and you want to learn a language just by relying on such a little bit of fonts, you think I am Einstein?" Lily glanced at Zhao Qi and said angrily.
"Well, okay then." Zhao Qi thought that he could still rely on these fonts to see some problems. But it was clear that he was disappointed.
"However, in the past, the round characters unearthed in the pyramids were only a short sentence, and there are so many dense records here, indicating that this place must not be simple." Lily affirmed.
"If you say that, you don't say it."
"Cut, at least I see something wrong, huh? What is it? As she spoke, Lily pressed a bulging button next to her. Zhao Qi, who was frightened, didn't even have time to stop it.
After the button was pressed, I saw a light curtain appear from the stone slab in front of Zhao Qi and Lili.
At first, the light curtain was very vague, and it was impossible to see what was on it, but gradually, the light curtain gradually became clearer. At this time, Zhao Qi also slowly let down his guard. Together with Lily, they looked at the picture above the light curtain.
"This ......" When Zhao Qi and Lili saw the picture on the light curtain, they were instantly stunned.
It's a lion, or a man. He had the body of a lion, a human face, and an unusually ornate crown on his head. He stood in the yellow sand, staring straight at the pyramid in front of him, which was built in general, and on the pyramid was countless human beings working hard.
Among the people who work there are old people, women, and even some children, a rough estimate. These people should be nearly 100,000 people.
They didn't have any tools to build the pyramids, they just did what the sphinx asked them to do. But from the way they looked at the Sphinx, there was nothing but fanatical worship.
But the power of faith is strong. But they can't let them do things beyond their limits, such as the two old men in front of them who can't lift stones.
Seeing this, the Sphinx waved his hand, and a black light shot into the two old men's bodies. After the black light enters the body. The two old men, who were already in their last years, suddenly straightened up their already rickety backs as if they had taken stimulants, and as soon as they lifted their hands, a stone weighing several tons was lifted effortlessly by the two of them. He walked like a fly and lifted the stones to the top of the pyramid. And such a scene is not uncommon in the construction of pyramids day and night.
"Are these people the prototypes of the Sphinx next to the Pyramid of Khufu?" Lily said in shock.
The picture continues, as if the sphinx will never get tired, staring at the unfinished pyramid, with only a deep sadness in his eyes.
Finally, day after day, year after year.
The pyramid was finally built, but the Sphinx didn't show any expression. The Egyptians, who no longer knew how many generations they had, came to another clearing again and began to build another pyramid.
In this way, pyramids were slowly built on the land of Egypt, and the Sphinx, like a robot that never knew tiredness, never did anything but watch them work.
Finally, after the construction of the last pyramid, the "First Pyramid" where Zhao Qi was located, the Sphinx's face showed a reluctant smile.
Standing on the largest pyramid, the Sphinx speaks unintelligible words to the sky with his eyes closed and his hands stretched upward.
As he moved, the sky changed as if it were a heavenly punishment, and then, above all of Egypt, all the spires of the pyramids reflected a strong light, and these pillars of light gathered together in mid-air, turning into an even greater pillar of light and soaring into the sky.
The wind and clouds are changing, flying sand and rocks, and the whole heaven and earth seem to have experienced heavenly punishment. Under this tremendous force, the sky seemed to be torn open, and a whirlpool of black holes gradually formed, and nothing could be seen clearly in the black hole, but a palpitating feeling of oppression could be felt from the black hole.
"This black hole ......" Zhao Qi's eyes contracted, the black hole in the picture was not the first time he had seen it, the last time they met was in the bottom of the mysterious island in the Atlantic Ocean......
After the black hole appeared, a smile appeared on the Sphinx's face.
The black hole is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that there are countless things trapped in the black hole, trying to escape, but I don't know if the power of the pillar of light is too weak or for some other reason, so they can't get out.
"Roar ......" The huge roar was mixed with incomprehensible language, and the black hole slowly closed in a trembling voice.
"Ah......h
It seemed that there was a force supporting him, but at this time, a thousand years had passed, and the last hope had been destroyed, and the power that supported him was finally exhausted, and his eyes were closed, and the whole person slowly fell from the top of the pyramid.
And seeing the fall of the god in his mind, the Egyptian, who knelt under the pyramid, immediately burst into tears.
The Sphinx died, and the Egyptians transported his body to a labyrinth that had already been built under the pyramids. And the Egyptians who brought his body in never went out again.
The Egyptians who remained outside the pyramid buried the huge pyramid in the sand, with nothing but nostalgia for the god they feared.
This is the end of the picture, although it is only a few minutes, Zhao Qi and Lily seem to have witnessed thousands of years of Egyptian history, and they are speechless for a long time.
"It turns out that the prototype of the Sphinx is him, so who is he? And why did he build so many pyramids? Lily has countless unsolved mysteries in her heart, and similarly, Zhao Qi next to her also has countless mysteries in her heart that need to be solved slowly.
"What's in that black hole?"
……
"I think we should get out of here." Ahab and Jersey had been waiting under the altar for a long time, and the unbearable hunger and thirst in their bellies had been reminding them both that they would die sooner or later if they stayed in this place.
Zhao Qi woke up from his contemplation when he heard Ahab's words, and jumped down from the high platform with Lily next to him.
"What do we do now?" Lily asked.
Zhao Qi looked around for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on the tightly closed gate behind everyone.
"From the picture just now, behind this closed gate is the road that leads to the sphinx's tomb, although I have little interest in seeing a dead man, but now there is only this way, the other three roads lead to the labyrinth." When Zhao Qi talked about the labyrinth, the remaining three shook their heads together, as if they had hated this labyrinth to the point of exaggeration.
"Alright then, since everyone has no opinion, let's go over here. I hope the images just now are not deceiving. Zhao Qi stepped forward, grabbed the tightly closed stone door, and rotated the torch on the left three hundred and sixty degrees in a counterclockwise direction, and then went to the right and rotated the other torch three hundred and sixty degrees in a clockwise direction.
"Click." There was a spring-like sound from the door, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.
"It's been so many years that the mechanism can still be used as usual, it's incredible." Lily said in admiration.
The stone door slowly opened, and in front of Zhao Qi were two kobold warriors he had seen in the pyramid before.
"I knew that these Egyptians didn't have any good intentions, and they didn't have those two things in the picture just now." Zhao Qi stomped his foot hatefully, and as soon as his words fell, the two kobold warriors in front of him opened their eyes that had not moved for thousands of years...... (To be continued......)
