After visiting the Pyramids of Giza the next day, the fleet left Cairo and began to travel south along the Nile, seeing other pyramids until Balyana, before leaving the banks to visit the temple.

Since Joselle's invention of the pyramids, it was studied by many pharaohs and finally reached its peak during the time of Pharaoh Khufu, but unfortunately, its grandeur could not stop the tomb robbers, so the pharaohs of the New Kingdom no longer built pyramids, but increased the construction of various temples, which the pharaohs believed would bless them and allow them to achieve a series of victories.

Therefore, the pharaohs strengthened their position by building a vast system of temples in the capital city of Thebes, near present-day Luxor. Aswan, the birthplace of the nation, was also of interest to the pharaohs, and the third place was in Abydos, west of Balyana.

It was rumored to be the center of worship for Osiris, so many pharaohs were willing to build temples there to worship the god, and the ancient Egyptians also considered it a sacred place, and wealthy families even visited it once a year. But after thousands of years of exposure to the wind and sun, only three temples in Abydos have been rediscovered, and the others have either withstood the erosion of time or are hidden in that corner of the vast land.

The only one of the three temples located on the ground is the Temple of the Chronicles built by Seti I, which has 7 sanctuaries dedicated to Seti himself, the god Ptah, the god La-Herakot, the god Amun-La, Osiris, Isis and Horus, and Seti even inscribes the names of all the pharaohs except for the Amarna period on one wall. But truth be told, except for those dense hieroglyphs and frescoes. The temple had few to offer, but it avoided Muggle destruction.

"Osiris was the son of one of the nine Egyptian gods, the god of the earth. He was the god of fertility, who married his sister Isis and led Egypt to prosperity, but was jealous of his brother Seth, the god of the desert...... "Because of the scarcity of tourists, the pilot landed the ship directly at the door of the temple, and the janitor immediately came to act as a guide to tell everyone the legends related to Osiris." Since Osiris's body was not fully recovered, he was resurrected for only one night before being taken to the realm by Anubis. As the king of the underworld, execute the judgment of whether or not a person will receive eternal life after death. ”

"Didn't you say that Anubis was the Grim Reaper?" Neville, who was unfamiliar with the Egyptian gods, asked after the janitor had finished speaking.

"Anubis is indeed the Grim Reaper, her mother is Isis's sister Nephthys, but about his father. But there are two kinds of rumors. One says Seth, the other says Osiris. The janitor suddenly smiled strangely, "Maybe that's why Seth must have killed his brother." ”

The little wizards were suddenly embarrassed, and the adults also showed disapproving glances, Snape stared at each other, and the janitor spit out in fright: "I'll pour tea for you!" He fled straight into the wilderness.

As long as the wizard who has been exposed to the ancient magic language class, he has some knowledge of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, although he is not proficient. But it was enough to explain the contents of the mural to the little wizards, which made the third-year students who didn't choose the ancient magic language class regret it. It also made the four girls decide to tick this course when they choose a course for next year's Easter holiday.

"Catherine, what does this picture mean?" While Catherine and Percy were doing their duties as team leaders, Astoria suddenly pointed to a small mural in the corner and asked.

There are two people in the mural, one is Anubis holding a baby, and the other is a woman kneeling in front of Anubis with a small flower in both hands, and the most incredible thing is that the four petals of this small flower are actually red, yellow, blue, and green.

"This is the legendary Yimi flower that grows in the desert, it takes five years to complete the work of interspersing the rhizomes, accumulating nutrients, until the sixth year, it blooms a small four-colored strange flower, its flowering period is very short, only two days, and then it dies with the mother plant.

Rumor has it that if a minor child dies and puts a four-colored Yimi flower in his hand, then Anubis will allow him to return to the yang. ”

"Is this true?" Megan asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Catherine shrugged and said, "Because looking for four-colored Yimi flowers in the Sahara Desert is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no historical record of this at all. ”

"Oh!" Ginny unconsciously answered, and pulled Megan up to look at the other murals, Astoria and Luna followed slowly, but Luna muttered "four elements" before leaving, but this sentence made Catherine stunned.

The four elements - wind, fire, water, and earth - are the basis of most spell systems in the West, and their representative colors happen to be blue, red, green, and yellow, while the sword, scepter, chalice and star coin in the tarot cards also represent the four elements, and even the four Hogwarts houses are related to the four elements.

"Coincidence? By chance? Catherine looked up at the four girls, and then muttered in a deep voice, "Or is it inevitable?" ”

After visiting the Temple of Seti I, the janitor led everyone to see the second temple, which was built by the pharaohs before Seti I, but was later covered by wind and sand, and was not excavated until the temple was built, but was slowly invaded by the rising Nile.

Because the second temple was full of Nile water and the roof had collapsed, everyone only looked around the roof for a while before heading to the third temple under the guidance of the janitor.

The third temple was once considered the holiest place in Egypt, as both the pharaohs and kings believed that it was here that Osiris experienced the resurrection and became an eternal, so even to this day, it is strictly guarded and Muggles are not allowed to enter.

So Bill, who had visited before, stayed outside to accompany the Grangers, while the others lit a fluorescent charm with their wands and slowly walked down the long hallway.

At the end of the corridor is a hall with walls and columns carved with frescoes more elaborate than the memorial of Seti I, and everyone is involuntarily attracted by them and scattered to all corners of the hall.

Because the hieroglyphs here are extremely bitter and difficult to understand, so the four girls who have seen the mural but have not heard the story for a long time ran to see the pillars, Catherine and Percy hurriedly followed as the team leader, but halfway Catherine found that there was a row of hieroglyphs engraved on the floor in the center of the hall, Percy's research was strong, and she simply squatted down to check, and the four girls couldn't help but surround curiously, Catherine also looked down at the line of text when she saw this, and then found that she had just seen it, It's a word in the hieroglyph next to the little fresco of flowers given to Anubis.

Catherine immediately crouched down and looked at the hieroglyphic note in Percy's hand, translating the small text in her head, and finally she realized that it was actually the transcript of the rumor she had just spoken, and the line of hieroglyphs at her feet was-

"Emihua!" Percy just figured out the ancient Egyptian pronunciation of the word.

"Emihua?" The four girls couldn't help but repeat curiously.

Then four rays of light shot out from the tops of the four pillars next to them, shining right on the four girls, and then there was a soft "click" sound, and the floor of the hall was all loosened, and then everyone let out a series of exclamations.

As soon as Catherine raised her wand, she fell into the water with a "plop", and then with a loud "boom", the entrance above their heads was closed again, and the surroundings suddenly turned into darkness.

"Are you alright?" As soon as Catherine lifted her head out of the water, she asked nervously.

"Nope!" "I'm fine!" "I'm not hurt!" Ginny, Megan, and Astoria all answered honestly, only Luna stared blankly and said, "We can't get out!" ”

"It should be able to explode!" Percy took advantage of the fluorescence of Catherine's staff to throw a spell and hit the boulder that sealed the entrance, and a flash of light suddenly burst into flames.

"Get into the water!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Catherine hurriedly pulled Megan and Luna beside her and plunged them to the bottom, and then a huge force came, pressing the three of them into the depths.

After a while, this force disappeared, and Catherine quickly took out the underwater breathing agent and poured it into the mouths of Megan and Luna, and then stuffed two glow sticks into their hands before she began to look around.

They were in a vertical passage, I don't know how deep, and if it weren't for the intrusion of the Nile, they would have been killed when they fell.

Catherine turned around and found the whereabouts of the other three, who were neither injured nor suffocated, and it was obviously the careful Astoria who pulled the two Weasleys into the water in time, and at the same time happened to have underwater breathing agents with them.

"What's going on?" Percy used her wand to write a string in English.

"It should be biogas or natural gas, which is very common underground." Catherine replied in the same way.

"What now?"

"It should be burned out, I'll go up and take a look." Catherine shoved three glow sticks into Percy's hand, and with a push of her hands back, the man sprang up to the water.

The higher you go, the more turbid the water becomes, obviously the dust and dirt that has just been shaken off, but when Catherine comes out of the water, she finds that there is no damage to the surrounding walls and the boulder that closed the entrance.

Catherine threw a few more spells, and even used Muggle methods she knew, but there was still no result, and seeing that it had been too long, she was afraid that others would worry, so she had to dive back into the water.

"How?" Percy asked as soon as he saw her.

"It's sealed, there's no way out there, you can only find another way out."

"I hope the others are okay."

"Bill should be able to hear the screams and will immediately go find someone to help." Catherine comforted and threw a glow stick to the bottom of the water, "Let's dive down and have a look!" ”

The crowd agreed, and Percy led the way with the slow-descending glowsticks, while Catherine followed him with the four girls.

This vertical passage is very long, and the walls around it are made of huge rocks, just like pyramids, without a single gap, and they are indestructible. (To be continued......)
