Chapter 852: The Talking Stone
The idea of these Tang Dynasty soldiers, of course, is very ridiculous, there is only one sphinx in front of the pyramid, naturally it is not that the Egyptian pharaohs can't make it, but there are other reasons, since the extremely tall pyramids have been built, why care about a sphinx.
It's like if a person has even bought a luxury car, how can he care about a luxury cushion inside the luxury car? After all, the price gap between the two is very huge, and the package that should be there will not be given up.
This kind of thinking is also like the foolish people of the Republic of China in later generations, when they heard that the Japanese invaded the Lugou Bridge, they opened their mouths to speculate, thinking that the Japanese were the lions who fell in love with the Lugou Bridge, after all, there are many lions on the Lugou Bridge, and it is also a very famous place.
But what the Japanese want is the whole of China, so how can they care about a small Lugou Bridge? What's more, it is the stone lion on the Lugou Bridge, which is a typical example of not knowing how to pretend to understand, not knowing how to guess, and the mistakes are outrageous.
However, it is also difficult for Ang Lee to correct these soldiers, after all, why there is only one Sphinx, Ang Lee himself can't figure it out, if the real reason is really to save money, then Ang Lee won't become ignorant and pretend to understand.
This is also an unsolved mystery of the Egyptian pyramids, so Ang Lee did not dare to explain casually, lest he not be able to justify himself and make his subordinates laugh.
Many soldiers scattered to visit different parts of the pyramid to visit the scenery, and from time to time they touched the stones of the pyramid with their hands to feel how the stones on the pyramid differed from ordinary stones.
"This is the Sphinx! It's so strange to look at! Did there really be such a thing in ancient Egypt? ”
Li Xiaolu looked at the sphinx in front of her and spoke.
Li An smiled and said: "Such a strange thing, how can ancient Egypt have it, it's just a man-made imagination, but I'm not very sure, maybe, ancient Egypt really has such a strange thing!" ”
Obviously, Ang Lee is not omnipotent, nor is he a person who knows everything about astronomy and geography, there are many things in the world that Ang Lee does not know, and there are even many things that no one knows at all, and it is impossible for anyone to know.
After a few circles around the Sphinx, Ang Lee and most of his men walked towards the Great Pyramids of Egypt, after all, this was the purpose of their trip.
The Great Pyramid is the largest and most majestic pyramid in Egypt, and it is also the burial place of the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an entrance to the pyramid, you should look for it, see where the entrance to the pyramid is, and look for it quickly."
Li An said with a smile, and took Li Xiaolu to the back of the pyramid, and sat on the chairs placed by his subordinates, waiting for the results of the subordinates' examinations.
"Li Shilang, will there really be an entrance to the pyramid? But our Sultan sent people to search for it many times but did not find it, and there were many people who tried to find the entrance to the pyramid, but in the end, no one could do it, and they could not find the entrance to the pyramid. ”
Ottoman's subordinates walked over lightly and frowned.
Obviously, he is telling the truth, the Ottomans who have just entered Egypt, whether they are engaged in internal development or expansion, are inseparable from a lot of money, and the possible treasures inside the pyramid naturally attracted his attention, he sent a lot of soldiers and horses to the pyramid to find the entrance, and even did not hesitate to take the method of destruction, but he was never able to find the entrance to the pyramid, which made the Ottoman very injured, so, when he heard the report of his subordinates and understood that Li An arrived at the pyramid, he seemed very disapproving, I didn't actively come to see Li An, just let my subordinates cooperate with Li An, and let Li An's play happily.
Different from the Sultan's disdain and forced to think that Li An could not find the entrance to the pyramid, his subordinates believed in Li An, but Li An actually let his subordinates find it, and Li An's subordinates were just ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they didn't seem to have any magic, and they all used their eyes to carefully look around the pyramid. He absolutely believes that because Datang's weapons are too advanced, their combat effectiveness naturally far exceeds that of their troops, but to say that the eyesight of Datang soldiers is better than theirs, they don't believe it, they are all two eyes, why can't we find the entrance, but you can find it? The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all mortals in the flesh, where will there be any special functions.
With such doubts, Osman's subordinates asked Li An for advice very suspiciously, trying to get Li An to solve his doubts.
Li An looked sideways at Ottoman's subordinates and said, "So many people can't find the entrance to the pyramid, is it possible that the legends of the pyramid are all lies, how is this possible?" The things recorded in our ancient books of the Tang Dynasty are generally true, how can this be the case? They must have not looked carefully enough, and they never found the entrance to the pyramid. ”
"Li Shilang, I personally led people to look for a month, every stone was checked, and indeed no entrance was found, in order to find the entrance, our soldiers destroyed hundreds of stones, but still found nothing, we can't tear down the entire pyramid! That's a lot of work. ”
Ottoman's men frowned.
Li An smiled and said: "There must be an entrance to the pyramid, but it is difficult to find it for a while, as long as you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find it, we are not in a hurry, just look for it slowly, not in a hurry." ”
As Li An, who already knows where the entrance is, naturally there is no need to worry, if the soldiers find nothing, Li An will personally go out and point out the entrance, and after that, it is the work of everyone to dig up the entrance.
Seeing that Li An said this, Ottoman's subordinates couldn't say anything, so they could only accompany Li An to wait next to the pyramid, and leave the search work to the subordinates to complete.
In addition to the hundreds of soldiers under Li An's command, there were also 200 warriors brought by the Ottoman subordinates, who cooperated and adopted the method of cross-searching, in order to have a higher probability of discovery.
"Little beauty, thirsty! Drink some coconut water! ”
Ang Li took a few sips of coconut water and handed the remaining half to Li Xiaolu for Li Xiaolu to taste as well.
Li Xiaolu was indeed thirsty, so she took the remaining half of the coconut water and drank it happily.
"I've been looking for a long time, but I've found the entrance to the pyramid."
Li An waited for a long time, looked at the subordinates he brought, and asked.
"Li Shilang, we have searched for it two or three times, and all the soldiers are not lazy, and they really can't find the entrance to the pyramid, maybe the pyramid has no entrance at all! Or maybe the entrance to the pyramid is underground and you need to dig three feet to find it. ”
The subordinate spoke.
Ottoman's subordinates hurriedly spoke: "I'm afraid I won't be able to find the entrance even if I dig three feet into the ground, the ground has been dug by us, and there is no entrance at all, there is indeed none." ”
"In this way, there is really no way."
Li An's subordinates said helplessly.
As for the difficulties of his subordinates, Li An of course understands that the entrance to the pyramid is very hidden, and it is not so easy to find it, and it must be searched very carefully, even so, it may not necessarily be able to be discovered, and it depends on luck and carefulness.
Of course, with the information of the later generations that Ang Lee has, the entrance to the pyramid is extremely hidden and cannot be found at all, unless it is known in advance that it is the entrance, otherwise, the probability of wanting to find it is almost zero.
And the reason why Li An asked his subordinates to look for it first and let his subordinates suffer was to do it on purpose, so that after his subordinates could not find it, he could gain more prestige by going out in person.
"Isn't it the entrance to the pyramid, is it so hard to find? It's embarrassing for you to be like this, okay! I'll look for it myself, and if I do find the entrance, I'll take care of you. ”
Li An stood up, took Li Xiaolu's little hand, and walked towards the pyramid.
In order not to let others suspect that he already knew the entrance to the pyramid, Ang Lee did not go directly to the known entrance, but walked to the side of the entrance, and pretended to observe every stone along the way, and even tapped it a few times to feel the difference between these stones.
"Li Shilang, these stones are all the same, what can be proved by knocking them with your hands?"
Ottoman's subordinates felt that Ang Lee was very mysterious, and frowned and asked.
"Shhhh
Li continued to tap the stone until his fingers were a little painful, and then he stopped.
"Li Shilang, these stones can also speak."
Ottoman's subordinates, their eyes were about to pop out, it was obvious that he didn't believe that Ang Lee could talk to the stone at all, it was simply impossible, how could a person talk to the stone? Stones cannot speak.
Li An smiled and said: "Not only can stones speak, everything in nature has language, but it depends on whether you can comprehend it, this belongs to metaphysics in our Tang Dynasty, it is a very mysterious school, and ordinary people have no chance to learn." ”
Said I continued to tap the stones as I walked.
"Li Shilang, what do these stones say?"
Osman's subordinates were still skeptical, but even if he was skeptical, he didn't dare to refute Ang Lee directly, so he could only choose to believe it and ask for more details so as to make a better judgment.
"What did you say?"
Li An paused and said, "These stones tell me that the entrance to the pyramid is on that side, and I asked a lot of stones, and they all answered like this, let's go!" Let's go over there. ”
Say I'm not going to keep tapping on the stone, but going straight to the place where there is an entrance.
"Wow, these stones really speak, how come I can't hear them!"
Li Xiaolu also felt incredible, and asked eagerly while walking.
Li An smiled indifferently and did not answer the question raised by Li Xiaolu, because the fact that the stone can speak is nonsense, since it is nonsense, then what else is there to say, and the explanation is also very tiring.
Soon, Ang Lee and the others arrived at the location where it was said to have an entrance, and they all looked at Ang Lee, waiting for Ang Lee to show his skills.
Li Jian looked around, pointed to a place above, and said: "There is a faint yin qi here, the entrance should be here, immediately dig up the stones here and find the entrance." ”
"Yes, Li Shilang."
The subordinates didn't dare to have the slightest suspicion about Li An, and hurriedly responded.
Soon, a large number of Tang soldiers began to walk to the location where it was said to have an entrance, and according to Li An's request, began to dig.
"Li Shilang, this stone is too hard, it's really hard to dig! I can't see obvious traces of the entrance, so I'm afraid that the digging is not accurate enough, and in the end I will be busy in vain. ”
The subordinates went to command for a long time, and came back to complain to Li An, Li An felt that he had to go up in person, paused, and said: "Okay! Let me go up and see for myself, by the way, prepare all the explosives, and then use the explosives directly to blow up the stones outside the entrance. ”
After all, there is still a slight difference between the stone at the entrance and the stone gap next to it and the stone gap next to it, but this difference is too small to be worth mentioning at all, and the pyramid is very large, there are too many stone gaps, and it is not easy to find a slight difference between such a large number of stone gaps.
"Did you see, the stone crevices here are a little different from other places, which means that the entrance is here, immediately dig a few blasting points here, and prepare to blast the stones outside the entrance."
As soon as Ang Lee climbed up, he discovered the exact location of the entrance, which stunned the people around him.
Ottoman's subordinates and Ang Lee's subordinates all ran over to take a closer look, and soon found that the stone gap at the entrance was indeed very different from other places, and this made them very embarrassed, after all, they had just looked for it, but they didn't find the difference here, especially Ottoman's subordinates, he had led thousands of people to search around the Great Pyramid for many months, but he never found any anomalies here, which had to make him sigh.
"See! Or is there something different, your people have been looking for months, but they have never found it? ”
Li An looked at Osman's subordinates and said sarcastically.
"It's our people who are so careless, and they haven't been able to find out for so long, it's really undeserved."
Ottoman's subordinates said with a smirk.
Li An smiled, turned to look at his subordinates, and said unhappily: "See! There are traces here, so why can't you find them? Are they all lazy, should they be punished? ”
The subordinates looked aggrieved, pointed to the gap, and said: "Li Shilang, this gap is too inconspicuous, and the soldiers have not been looking for it for a long time, so it is indeed not easy to find." ”
