Chapter 403: The Sundial's Curse (Part II)
Xia Ruobing followed the pillar of light reflected by the copper mirror, and walked through the position of the 7 copper mirrors, the distance between each copper mirror is different, and there seems to be a mysterious proportional relationship between them, but Xia Ruobing didn't understand why this was the case? From the point of view of refraction, the appropriate specular reflection at the same distance is the easiest to display, but why all the copper mirrors are placed at different distances here, the result is that the refraction angle of each copper mirror needs to be precisely calculated.
There is only one explanation for this, and the ancients did it deliberately, otherwise they would not have done it.
Xia Ruobing stood under a bronze mirror, looking up at the intertwined pattern of the pillars of light above her head, and the almost straight line of the three bronze mirrors attracted her attention.
Xia Ruobing looked at the direction on his watch, this straight line was not due south or north, according to the ancient etiquette system of the East, this was not logical.
"What did you find?" Mr. Min saw that Xia Ruobing had been looking at the bronze mirror at a high place with his head up, and walked over to ask.
"We've seen this pattern." Xia Ruobing said in a low voice, her eyes still staring at the bronze mirrors that reflected the sunlight.
"You mean, in the heart of the Red Dragon?" Mr. Min also felt that this place was a little familiar, but it seemed to be a little different.
In the dungeon of the Red Dragon's Heart, Loulan's descendants used a brazier to interweave a starry sky in the cave, Xia Ruobing seemed to remember something, she turned her angle again, and she could see more clearly here.
If you remove a few extra pillars of reflected light, the 7 copper mirrors embedded in the stone wall just form a pattern!
"Betelgeuse 1, Betelgeuse 2, Betelgeuse 3......" Xia Ruobing seemed to realize something, and she linked the position of these 7 bronze mirrors with the stars.
The Eastern horoscope is different from the Western one, naming the constellations according to the position of the star in the sky, not according to its position on the constellation.
"Orion?!" Mr. Min seems to have thought of it too,
Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse are three straight stars on Orion's waist, Betelgeuse is the bright star on Orion's right shoulder, Betelgeuse corresponds to the left shoulder, Betelgeuse and Betelgeuse are the right knee and left ankle respectively!
"The intruder will die before Betelgeuse rises!" Xia Ruobing and Mr. Min blurted out almost at the same time.
"Stop!" Xia Ruobing felt an ominous premonition in her heart, she wanted to stop Dick and the bearded man who were looting the treasure.
“HAT?!” The two stared at Xia Ruobing, inexplicable.
"The trespasser will die before Betelgeuse rises! This sentence is engraved on the sundial! Xia Ruobing shouted again.
The two of them are even more inexplicable, what the hell is Betelgeuse? Where is it going to rise from?!
"Orion...... Here they posed a Orion with a bronze mirror! Xia Ruobing was a little anxious, but how to explain it to them at this time?
"Does that have anything to do with us?" The bearded man doesn't think so, Orion is in the sky, what does it have to do with treasure?
"I think it's a little bit related." Chen Badai came out of the shadows, still dragging something in his hand, he walked to the bright light, and put the thing in his hand on the sand......
“HAT?! Where did you get that? Dick was almost frightened and jumped on the box, and on the sand was a dried corpse, his forehead showing white bones, but his hair had not yet fallen out, and the dry corpse was holding his neck with both hands, and his face was hideous.
"Over there, there's more...... We weren't the first people to come here, and everyone who came here died......," Chen Badai said calmly.
Bypassing the poplar boxes containing gold and silver, a group of dried corpses appeared in their lights, Chen Badai stepped forward and took out a broken spear from the sand, and in one corner, several people were huddled together, and a scimitar stabbed through two corpses, while some corpses were scuffled together, and they could not be separated.
"Was there a fight here?" Mr. Min was shocked.
"It doesn't look like it's two groups...... Dick stepped forward as well, and he looked at the clothes and armor wrapped around the corpse, which were basically the same.
"Does it have anything to do with us?" The bearded man felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"The curse on the sundial, they died of cannibalism, but the living people didn't go out...... Xia Ruobing said.
Chen Badai pulled out a scimitar from a corpse, such a knife is a common style used by nomads, although it has been here for at least a thousand years, the dry environment has kept it intact, and there is only a thin layer of rust on the surface of the knife.
"They are Huns." Chen Badai judged.
"Huns? Huns? Dick's mouth didn't close for a long time.
How did the Huns end up in the royal tomb? If the Huns did appear here, how could there be so much gold and silver left here, according to the plundering nature of the Huns wherever they went?
In ancient times, when the productivity was at its low, a gold ingot was equivalent to a person's income for two lifetimes, and if the Huns really found the royal tomb, it was impossible not to loot it, unless it was ......
There was only one possibility—no one who came in could get out, and not a single gold ingot was taken!
Dick also had a hint of foreboding, or maybe this was only a small group of Huns who knew the location of the royal tomb, and they wanted to monopolize it under the temptation of the treasure, and did not inform them of Shan Yu, where the Huns were all killed in the battle, and no one knew about it again. Dick comforted himself, "Actually, it's not a big deal...... They are just killing each other. ”
"But how do you explain it?" Chen Badai threw something at Dick's feet, which he had found next to another dried corpse.
It's a big sword! Objects of the Knights Templar!
“GOD?! The people of the Poseidon are here too! The bearded man felt the hairs in his heart, and the joy of seeing the gold just now was rushed out of the sky by fear.
The sunlight continued to tilt, and the reflected sunlight slowly deviated from the bronze mirror, and the cave suddenly darkened, and the bearded man saw a hideous-looking dried corpse on the ground!
“BOSS…… Shall we withdraw first and come back another day? The bearded man's voice trembled a little.
"Nope! We still have the king's seal that we haven't found. Dick couldn't figure out what had happened here, and from the clues available, for whatever reason, no one who had entered the tomb had left alive.
Dick walked up to the dried corpse where the great sword was found, and groped around its dry body for a long time, but found nothing, and it seemed that Wang Yin was not here.
The light dimmed, and the bearded man felt that the light could give him something to lean on, and he saw the brazier by the stone wall, and leaned over to light one.
"Whew......" The bearded man felt a cold wind behind him, but when he looked back, there was nothing, he still felt that his heart was bottomless, and he walked to the second brazier, wanting to light it too.
A golden stick by the brazier caught his attention, and the bearded man felt it beckoning to him, and couldn't help but reach over, but it was embedded in the stone wall, and the beard slammed it hard......
"Boom...... Rumble...... "Everyone felt a tremor under their feet, and the yellow sand on the ground fell to the ground.
"What the did you do?!" Dick roared.
The bearded man turned around, and when he saw Dick holding his sword high and slashing at him, he instinctively screamed and raised his hand......
The strange appearance of the beard made everyone feel strange, and when Mr. Min raised his eyes, he felt that Chen Badai was walking towards the place where the ground had sunk, and he reached out and pulled it, but he didn't catch anything.
"Let's go! Come on! Sand trap......" Xia Ruobing shouted, the ground where they were standing was a big cavity, and the beard touched the mechanism, and if they didn't leave and fell into it, they would be buried alive by the sand......
Mr. Min obviously felt that Chen Badai was behind him, but how did Chen Badai appear in front of him after entering the passage? Mr. Min looked back and saw a person standing by the poplar box, beckoning to him: "Senior Brother Min, come!" ”
That's Shi Yingbing! Mr. Min was shocked, Xia Ruobing pulled him, and when he looked over again, there was nothing on the side of the poplar box......
The vibration raised a burst of smoke and dust, choking everyone coughed, everyone had to follow the passage to get away from here first, ran back to the small stone room before, just gasped, suddenly heard a sharp howl in the cave, a cold wind from the cave......
"Huh?! Phantom! The bearded man saw several wobbling ghosts, armed with spears and scimitars, lunging at him, and he turned around and ran......
