Forty Professor's Notes
I returned to my lodgings and greeted a few of the brothers arranged by the general. Seeing that Sister Yue was busy looking for the professor's manuscripts and materials, Brother Dong and the brothers were sorting out the equipment. I contacted the general, explained the situation, and then prepared to go upstairs to rest. Because that feeling is still there, it makes me a little upset.
Walked into the bathroom, wanted to wash off the blood on my hands, in a trance, suddenly found that the water in front of me had all turned blood red, this,,this,, my hair exploded instantly, took a step back, and when I looked up, I suddenly saw myself in the mirror became so pale, like a ghost, just when I stared, I saw blood flowing from my eyes!
It's not me!
I subconsciously picked up the cup and slammed it. There was a bang, and the cup shattered to the ground. When I look in the mirror again, I'm still normal... I gasped for air and lowered my head.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and I closed my eyes and calmed down, and walked to the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was dust and wind. Dustwind reached out and took out an iron box for me.
"What is this?" I looked at him strangely.
"This is made of soul crystals, you can eat one when you feel uncomfortable." Dusty Wind said flatly, but his eyes kept watching me.
I waved my hand tiredly, "I don't need to, I'll just sleep for a while." "The door is about to close. To be honest, I don't really believe in the soul crystal, the thing that came out of the skull's head.
Suddenly, Dustwind grabbed me by the arm and kicked the door open. Still holding the tin box in his hand, he held it up in front of me and told me with his eyes that I had to accept it. I was caught by him a little painfully, frowning and about to push him, at this time Sister Yue happened to pass by with the computer...
She glanced at us and said, "Something really isn't right with you two." With that, she continued to look at the computer screen and walked away.
"Hey, you..." It's hard to argue.
I rolled my eyes and reluctantly took the pill box given by Dustwind. Dusty Wind glanced at me and walked away, looking at the expression, it seemed that he meant to take medicine obediently. I glanced at my lips and closed the door and entered the house.
When I opened the medicine box, there were a lot of black and red pills in it, and it was uncomfortable to look at, so forget it, let's take it. Threw one into his mouth.
It's so bitter, it's very bitter, I beat my head so bitterly that the bitter taste spreads from my mouth to my whole body. I squatted on the ground with a frown, and waited for a while, the bitter taste slowly receding. It's also strange to say, the manic feeling in front is gone. The mood became calmer, and my thinking became clear and efficient.
After reporting safety to my parents on WeChat, I sorted out my thoughts and could continue to think about the rest of the matter. I need to figure out what to do tomorrow.
Why is Professor Shreif in Faiyum? To avoid these people? Or was it really kidnapped? But it's not like you don't leave us a message. I suddenly remembered what the kid at the bazaar had given me. Quickly flipped it out and looked at the Arabic text in the back. So turn on the computer, Baidu under what these words mean. Arabic text is really difficult to understand, take a picture of the text, enter the computer, search hard for a long time, found that this is an address, quickly open Google search, sure enough, this is an address in the Faiyum area.
Who will give us the message? Why give it to me? Do you know that I am a container? Know that we will have no choice in the past? Now it seems that it is definitely going to pass anyway.
After checking the route, I contacted Xiao Wu, but I didn't tell him about the professor, for fear of involving him, because there would be a desert in the itinerary, so I just asked him to use the relationship to help us find a camel team to visit in Faiyum. After contacting, I went downstairs and told everyone about tomorrow's arrangement.
Brother Dong looked at me for a while and said, "Xiaocao, is your face much better, what did the dust wind do to you?" ”
I threw a pillow over, and Brother Dong hugged the pillow and laughed.
I glared at Sister Yue, who just buried her head in the computer. The dust and wind brushed his knife and ignored us, and I thought to myself, you have to say something.
"Dustwind gave me a medicine made with soul crystals."
Brother Dong stood up suddenly, "I'll go, Chenfeng, you can do it, such an expensive thing, you made medicine for Xiaocao, and give me some too!" Brother Dong began to wander around the dusty wind.
Alas, I shook my head helplessly. Wait, when did Dustwind go to make medicine? Taoists have always had the ability to make pills, could it be that they went back to Wudang Mountain to make medicine for me? At the risk of being captured by the army, go and make me medicine? Dust wind. Why do you know I'm going to need this medicine?。。 How much more do you have to hide from me ...
I looked at the dust and wind, and I was losing my mind. Interrupted by Sister Yue's words.
"The professor does have some interesting information here, and I also found a copy of his shorthandbook, which should be decades old, you see this page." After speaking, Sister Yue opened a notebook to show us, and there was a photo glued to it, and there were several young people in the photo. One of these people looked familiar.
"This person seems to be Professor Wu!" I said quickly.
"Then this one next to him should be Professor Shreif, and there is a man and a woman next to him, who are they? Dressed and looks very similar to Xinjiang people. There are also some scattered people and camels around. Sister Yue also studied carefully.
"Emma, isn't this the ancient city of Saya!" Brother Dong glanced at it with slanted eyes.
"Are you sure?" I looked at him quizzically.
"Seeing that one of you is bigger than the other, it's useless, don't you see? So many stone monuments in the back? I was so impressed with that. That's where I went down. Brother Dong pointed to the background of the photo.
Sure enough, a lot of tall stone monuments appeared in the distance.
"It seems that Professor Wu and Shreif have been to the ancient city of Saya. So early on the country began to study photons? I rubbed my chin and thought.
"There are also some records here, in English, which I will probably translate to you: I received an invitation from my old friend Professor Wu to excavate the ruins of an ancient city in the western desert of China, and the legend of this ancient city is related to the story of the ancient ancestors who obtained the photon. This time, I was accompanied by a local husband and wife guide. The expedition was very difficult, we lost a large number of men and horses, but after being contacted by the local troops, we were finally rescued. The results of the expedition must be kept confidential. Otherwise, it would be the greatest discovery in the world today. Sister Yue sighed and continued.
"What was the result of their investigation at that time, it seems that I asked the professor himself. Also, as the woman said, there is almost no information about this stone ball. But the term 'final key', which is mentioned in the professor's material, is unfortunately not explained. A lot of the hieroglyphs here are ancient Egyptians, and I can only decipher symbols that resemble oracle bone inscriptions, and Egyptian can only be interpreted systematically after meeting with the professor. But this stone ball is really amazing. After Sister Yue finished speaking, she pointed to the stone ball,
"Look at the black hole stone symbol on it." Saying that, Sister Yue used her pen to rotate the suspended black hole stone.
I was surprised to find that there were three black hole stone symbols on the three equal points of the sphere, and if you looked closely, there was a groove in the middle of each black hole stone symbol.
Sister Yue continued, "That foreigner said that this is a big deal, how do you think you understand? ”
"I don't know, but if this sphere is the key, then what is the key to unlock it?" I was thinking about it when I inadvertently touched the stone ball with my fingers, and suddenly the ball trembled. I hurriedly withdrew my hand. Glancing at the others, they were obviously a little surprised. I quickly closed the box.
"It's not easy to get out of the way at this time, so let's rest early." With that, I went back to my room.
We set off early in the morning and followed the road all the way south in the direction of the city of Faiyum.
In the distance, you can see the Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx. Although it is not a tour, it is still a mystery to see what kind of technology the ancients used to build such a great structure thousands of years ago. Was it really built by an extraterrestrial civilization? Professor Wu said that human civilization has been developing rapidly at an incredible speed in the long course of history, and it may not be on its own. Is it true, as some scholars say, that humans are just alien breeding species?
The sunrise sun covered the pyramids and the Sphinx with a golden veil. Everyone was silent, perhaps because of the special reaction I had when I touched the stone ball, or maybe because I was a little apprehensive about the unknown future.
"Xiaocao, you said Professor Shreif was kidnapped? Or does he really not need us anymore? Brother Dong broke the silence.
"The probability of kidnapping is greater, and the general has not received any news from the professor at all. If there is a change in plans, we should be notified in advance. I said.
"Now there are two possibilities, one is that the kidnappers of the professor are deliberately letting us pass, they may need us, or they want to kill us. The other is that there is another force that is helping us find the professor and complete this mission. But I can't think of anyone else who would be involved in this. With that, I continued to look out the window.
"Xiaocao, after analyzing so many possibilities, it seems that you are already mentally prepared?" Sister Yue looked at me.
I continued to look out the window and smiled wryly and said, "Hehe, I've been through so much. I didn't prepare for it, I didn't know how I would die, and I didn't want to face that feeling of powerlessness anymore. After that, no one spoke.
"Oops, what doesn't die. Phew. Bah. There's us in what you're afraid of, right? Brother Dong was obviously easing the atmosphere. patted the dust wind sitting in front of him, and the dust wind did not look back:
"I told you, I'll take care of you."
I didn't expect Dusty Wind to respond to us, still in a light tone, I couldn't see his expression, I don't know if he was assured, or if he was also uneasy, but this sentence gave me a lot of confidence. At the same time, it also makes me a little worried, what he says often does what he says, and the protection he says will cost his life, but this time he must not let him repeat the same mistakes.
It was almost noon and we were on the outskirts of the city of Faiyum. We began to prepare for the change of camels to move forward. The man who connected with us appeared next to a small village, and appeared to be a shorter Egyptian with slightly dark skin. We parked the car and he came up to meet him. "Hello, gentlemen. I am Muhammad, you can call me Lao Mo, I have a squadron. I can take you to the desert to see. ”
It seemed that this was a person who often received Chinese tourists, and I said, "Hello Uncle Mo." We need to visit this place. ”
"Ah, this is Gam, the oldest Egyptian tribe, but it's too far away to cross a desert, and it's dangerous."
"Uncle Mo. We have to go to this place. You see.. ”
Brother Dong suddenly came over, "Say, how much money can I go." ”
"Well, wait a minute, I'll ask."
Looking at the old man's reaction, there should be a drama. After a while, the old man returned. "There are a few young people here to take you there. The price, the price will be higher. ”
"Say it, more money."
"$10,000."
"Damn, you're robbing money. It's not a tomb robbery. So expensive. Brother Dong shouted.
The old man said in a bit of a panic; "Hey, Allah willing, young man, you, don't shout. Tomb robbers here are going to be shot. ”
"Okay, Uncle Mo let them come over." After I finished speaking, Brother Dong kept patting me, "Xiaocao, it's too expensive." Take it easy. It's too expensive! The general didn't give that much money. ”
After a while, five young men came up to us, each with a few camels behind them. The young man who took the lead had a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head and said, "My name is Tani, I can take you there, but you need to pay for it first." ”
"Okay, but pay half of it first, and then give the other half in the past. How long will it take us to get there? "As I spoke, I looked at these young men, who were strong and strong, and their skin was not as dark as Lao Mo. Then he looked at the camels in the back. It's always a little weird.
"Yes, you can use a credit card in the store here. If you leave now, you can get there in the evening. The young man said dryly.
"Xiao, Xiaocao, how can you pay a price, I'll rely on it." Brother Dong hurriedly pulled my clothes. I tapped him on the shoulder to signal that it was okay.
So I followed one of the guys to swipe the card. When I came out, I saw that Brother Dong was beckoning everyone and began to carry some of the necessary items onto the camel. Because the weapons are afraid of being checked, except for the close-fitting ones, the others are packed in the suitcase, and the appearance is basically invisible.
We didn't dare to waste time, so we simply ate some compressed food and hit the road. I had the experience of riding a camel once, so I would never be dangled again, and I had a good grasp of my strength, and I still sat relatively steadily. Compared to the desert in my country, the desert climate here is more harsh, and looking at the vast desert brought me back to the painful memories of the ancient city of Saya. There is no more excitement of seeing the desert for the first time.
Brother Dong suddenly sang: "Why are the flowers so red, why are they so red... ”
"Brother Dong, you can sing such an old song!" I looked at him in amazement.
"That's it, the old man's back, he can sing, I'm the ear and the eye." After speaking, he continued to sing.
With Brother Dong's singing, we once again started the desert journey.
