Chapter 118: The Mystery of Tutankhamun: The Sarcophagus

"I guessed right, this must be Nefertiti's burial chamber! Every relief in this room is painted with the image of Nefertiti! This eternal beauty of Egypt rests in the narrow tomb before us......"

Balder excitedly pointed to each of the reliefs on the wall, as if he had forgotten that we were still in danger, and let out a burst of exclamation in disregard.

"Teacher, calm down, what if there is a mechanism?"

Under Chen Keying's persuasion, Balder finally recovered from his madness, and he said embarrassedly: "You're right, with such a small space, if you trigger the mechanism, there is only one way to die." But did you see the sarcophagus in front of you, the coffin of Nefertiti, I really wanted to open it right away and see the queen. ”

"People call themselves Our Lady, and they are higher than the Queen." Zhang Lun muttered.

It seems that the Holy Mother mentioned on the stone door earlier can only be the owner of the tomb in front of him. Otherwise, who else but herself could have carved the image of Nefertiti in her own tomb, Sister Nave?

The burial chamber is not large in total, and the sarcophagus not far away is actually more conspicuous than the relief on the wall.

"Actually, I also want to know what is hidden inside, and I actually set up a living sacrifice to protect it." I smiled wryly, "I've seen the skills of the ancient Egyptians, and the mummies are clearly the guards of this tomb, so I really don't know what kind of magic it is." ”

"Even Egypt's only female pharaoh, Hatsepsut, did not receive such treatment." Chen Keying said softly, "Did Nefertiti order someone to do all this, or did Tutankhamun do it?" If it was the latter, why would he do such an angry thing for his stepmother? ”

Listening to her, I was also a little curious. Could it be that there are some untold secrets of Tutankhamun and Nefertiti in history? Otherwise, why would Tutankhamun be buried in the same mausoleum as Nefertiti, if it were his own mother, it is said that he is still a stepmother, did Tutankhamun's father agree?

Balder looked at us and asked, "You two young men, do you dare to go with me and open the sarcophagus?" ”

"There won't be a mechanism, will it? I think we should think long-term. Zhang Lun proposed.

Balde snorted coldly: "Hmph, the oxygen mask is almost used to the end, this room is closed, how long can five people last with the air here?" It's a dead end out there, do you have any other options? ”

Zhang Lun and I looked at each other, and we both felt that what Balder said made sense. So I nodded lightly and decided to accept Balde's proposal, anyway, if there is really a mechanism, with my skills, there is still a chance to dodge, and if I die, Lao Ba will die first.

We cautiously approached the sarcophagus, while Chen Keying and Rowling stayed at the door, watching us from afar. It is a granite sarcophagus with a huge coffin cover

The foot is dozens of centimeters thick, at least one or two hundred catties. The lid of the coffin was somewhat decayed and dusty, but the religious motifs on it were still faintly recognizable, which Balde said were common in ancient Egypt and symbolized the protection of the dead.

"Come on, get out!" Zhang Lun cheered himself up.

We worked hard to push the lid of the coffin, but the lid was too heavy, and with the age, there was a lot of moss growing in the gaps, which made the lid more firmly connected to the coffin. It was pushed until Balder was panting, and the lid finally loosened, and now it was like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the whole lid was quickly overturned by us.

But instead of the mummy I imagined, there was a golden statue of the queen on top of another golden coffin. The Queen's hands are crossed over her chest, and she holds a blue-glazed crooked staff and flail, which are symbols of royal power.

"I'm afraid this is the same structure as Tutankhamun's coffin, the sarcophagus is embedded with three layers of gold, and even the posture of the golden statue is the same, which represents the blessing of Hades King Osiris." Bald Road.

"Isn't Hades?" I asked.

Balde gave me a blank look, as if mocking my ignorance: "Child, you are Greek mythology, this is ancient Egypt!" ”

I also laughed at me for being a child, and I got angry when I heard his tone, so I asked him rhetorically, "Professor Ba, do you know the Ten Palaces of Hades?" ”

Balde looked embarrassed and said proudly: "I also have research on Chinese mythology, do you want to hear me recite it?" ”

I couldn't help but hear it, and then asked, "Then do you know who King Qin Guang's sister-in-law is?" ”

Balder scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to answer.

Hell if he can know, this is my casual nonsense, it is estimated that King Qin Guang himself has almost forgotten who his sister-in-law is!

"This golden statue is worth at least 100 million!" At this time, Zhang Lun suddenly sighed, "And it's dollars!" ”

"Don't get sick." I said, "Let's carry it down and open the coffin." ”

Seeing that I was going to carry the golden statue, Zhang Lun hurriedly advised: "Be careful, this is a top-level cultural relic!" ”

The two of us carried the statue away and crept to the wall. The follow-up situation is indeed as Balder said, the second layer of the golden coffin is opened is another humanoid wooden golden coffin, and under the inner layer of the golden coffin, a female mummy finally appears. Her hair fell over her shoulders, she had a moldy headdress in her hair, and she even wore a wreath around her neck, which could tell her beautiful figure even after thousands of years. I was immediately attracted by her white teeth and large eyes, and even ignored the musty smell of the corpse. I have to say that the body can be so beautiful after a thousand years, and she must have been a peerless beauty during her lifetime.

"Beautiful, so beautiful......" Balder stared at the mummy obsessively, as if enchanted

, muttering exclamations.

Zhang Lun only glanced at the mummy, then turned his head to the side in disgust and said, "I think the golden statue is more beautiful." ”

I said disdainfully, "Why don't you have any imagination, you can't look at her now, you have to restore her appearance in your mind." ”

Zhang Lun tried to do as I said, he closed his eyes and felt it seriously, but soon gave up: "As soon as I closed my eyes, I only had the image of a golden statue." ”

"You vulgar." I didn't bother to talk to him, but tried to construct Nefertiti's appearance in my mind. But soon, I gave up too.

Because I found myself thinking about it, Lin Siqi's face suddenly appeared in my mind......

At this time, Rowling's shout suddenly sounded in our ears: "Come here, Chen's oxygen has run out." ”

I looked back and saw that Chen Keying had already taken off her oxygen mask and was struggling to breathe the air in the secret room. But the oxygen content here was obviously too low, Chen Keying didn't dare to take a big breath, and her face began to flush slightly.

I quickly ran over to her, handed her my oxygen mask and said, "You use mine first." ”

When I took off my oxygen mask, I felt a feeling of suffocation as the oxygen concentration plummeted, but I quickly got used to it, although it was difficult to breathe.

Chen Keying didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Then what should you do?" ”

"I'm better than you." I smiled, "I'll find a way to get out." ”

At this time, Zhang Lun also came over and said, "It's okay, we can use it instead." ”

I know very well that if we don't hurry up and find a way, we will all die here and stay with the queen forever.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

As I looked around for clues or mechanisms, I found that Bald was still so obsessed with admiring the Queen's mummies that he had even turned a deaf ear to the accident of his own students. I shouted a little angrily, "Professor Ba, you've been looking at it for a long time, you must have found the mechanism, right?" ”

"Organ...... Organ ......" Balder muttered, but did not reply.

……

At the same time, it was late at night, in a hotel room in Luxor.

A foreign man was being choked by the throat and fell on his back in mid-air. But a closer look reveals that this foreigner has no life and has long since died.

His last act before his death was to hand over an extremely important item with his own hands.

The murderer took a small box from his hand, and then threw his body on the floor very casually, and said with a grim smile: "Thank you, d. Thank you for stealing the candle dragon horn, otherwise I don't know what to do, after all...... It's not time to tear your face with them yet. ”
