The Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface Part 1 The Curse of Cairo Chapter 12 The Death of Dedevla

According to the length of the tomb, Liu Dan estimates that the circumference of this inverted pyramid is about twice that of the Pyramid of Khafre, because it is impossible to know the depth of its underground spire, so its overall size is still difficult to determine, but compared to the world's largest pyramid, the Pyramid of Khufu, its volume is far more than twice as large.

"It's strange, this generation of Fra reigned for a very short time, and it can even be said to be short-lived, how can he have time to build such an underground pyramid with such an exaggerated amount of work?" Liu Dan observed the murals on both sides of the tomb as he walked, hoping to find the answer. "This bend should lead to the queen's tomb..."On the edge of the main tomb, a slightly narrower small tomb road appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the hole that came down at this time was completely invisible, and in the dark tomb, only a few people's flashlights flashed with a miserable white light.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Dan shone a flashlight on the wall of the tomb, "Look here......!" ”

"This pyramid was built by Khafre!" Liu Dan looked at the mural and explained, "Khafra killed Desfra, but Khafra seemed to know that Desfra was the son of Anubis and was afraid that he would be punished after his death, so at the same time as he built his own pyramid, he built this inverted pyramid with the same internal structure but much larger scale for Desfra, hoping that he would forgive himself for his guilt!" "The first mural shows a man in pharaoh's costume holding a sword and stabbing another man in pharaoh's costume.

"The burial process of the pharaoh and the queen is recorded here, and it seems that all of Desfra's cronies and guards were killed and killed... Dismemberment!? Liu Dan himself didn't dare to believe his eyes, and the mural in this section of the section from the entrance of the tomb road to the front of the tomb door recorded the cruel scene when Dedevla was buried. Many of the men who looked like officers at the time were smeared with a strange layer of dark brown on their bodies, and then cut into pieces with knives, and finally the chopped limbs were sewn back together.

"Girl... You didn't say... Do Egyptians love life? Where's this...? "Lao Liu Tou is not a historian. But the content of the mural can also be seen as a *inseparable ten, but I feel that the cold pores are tight.

"I don't know... Egyptian history... There is no such record... Could it be some kind of voluntary sacrificial ritual? Liu Dan also felt incredible, although some indigenous races in the world voluntarily sacrificed to the gods, but there was no such cruel way to die.

"Could it be... This is..."Old Liu Tou suddenly stopped, thoughtful, "Everyone, don't rush into the door first." Let me think..."

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge and Elxun stopped, and at this time, Elxun had already found the detonator and was about to blow up the tomb door.

"These murals are indeed cautious enough, but they are definitely useful..."Lao Liu Tou began to explain his opinion on this tomb, judging from the many patterns of the sun, moon, and rivers and the matching patterns of the burial procession. Egypt has had some budding understanding of the power of yin and yang and the five elements since about four or five thousand years ago, and those so-called monks have begun to use these things to build tombs, but their general purpose seems to be only for embalming the body of the tomb owner, "Girl, what do you do with mummies?" Why can it be embalmed? ”

"This..."Liu Dan, who asked Lao Liu, was also stunned, and was disgusted, why didn't this old Liu Tou open a pot...

"First of all, the internal organs and brains of the person should be removed, and then the abdomen should be filled with spices and some antiseptic materials...... Match the climate of the desert with the structure of the pyramids. So as to play the role of embalming..."Liu Dan tried to make a long story short to avoid more disgusting associations.

"Wrong!" Old Liu Tou pouted, "At least this pyramid is not like that!" ”

"It's science!" Liu Dan is the most unconvinced in his life, others challenge science. In particular, Lao Liu Tou described archaeology as tomb robbery, but he didn't expect that this Egyptian blind now questioned the embalming principle of mummies.

"Let me tell you, in China, there are many ancient corpses, so you don't have to go so far to make pyramids, fill spices, dig out your hearts and gouge out your eyes, and the embalming effect is better than mummies. You know what's going on, don't you? "Old Liu Tou pulled his two goatees, just like Mr. Private School in the past." Do you know that ancient corpse in Mawangdui? Her grave is also a bit of a hassle, but it seems to me. The effect is average, some of the corpses dug up in the mass graves, just bury the whole coffin, the embalming effect is better than her, you know why not? ”

"This..."Liu Dan was speechless, after all, the embalming effect of mummies is easy to explain with science, but those things in China are still a mystery to this day.

"The position of Zhengyang and Zhengyin is the position of immortality, and the position of Zhengyang can only be found in the mountains, so since the Tang Dynasty, the princes and nobles have used the mountain as a tomb to take the immortal position of Zhengyang..." At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the war continued, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the north and south dynasties changed dynasties like a horse, and those who took the world themselves did not have the confidence to finish the tomb in the mountains when they were in power, so the wind was resting! ”

"Mr. Liu!" Qin Ge replied, "How can Shi Jingjiao's treasure cave be built in the mountains...?" ”

"That's a treasure cave! It's not the same thing as the tomb! Old Liu Tou was also angry, and the head of his own analysis was Dao, how could this Qin Ge rush to raise the bar at this time, "That cave is built in this natural cave, it is a place where yin gathers in the mountains, and it is not as good as a vegetable cellar in the countryside, if you become the emperor and bury you, are you happy?" ”

"What does this have to do with mummies?" Liu Dan was puzzled.

"What's okay? Girl, what do you think this pyramid looks like? Old Liu Tou gestured with his hand.

"Like a mountain?"

"Oh, yes! The Egyptians understood that the position of Zhengyang is not corrupted, so they artificially build a Zhengyang position, although the workload is greater than directly digging a hole in the mountain, but the effect is not better than in the mountain... So like you said, it's inevitable to gouge out your eyes and fill in some condiments..."

"But there are well-preserved mummies in places that are not pyramids, such as the Valley of the Kings..."Liu Dan was still a little unconvinced.

"Valley of the Kings? Is there a mountain? Old Liu Tou said.

"Yes, yes... But it's a canyon! ”

"Hehe, who told you that the Zhengyang position has to be on the top of the mountain? That's how they learned to save trouble! Old Liu Tou found that his guess had taken another step forward and was more beautiful, completely forgetting where he was and what kind of threat he faced.

"But in the plains, archaeologists have also dug up well-preserved mummies..."Qin Ge continued to answer.

"I told you not to raise a bar with me! There is a saying that flat land has flat land! Old Liu Tou squinted at Qin Ge, a million were not angry, "The position of Zhengyin is also the position of immortality, not only can be found in the mountains, but also in the plains, and the position of people who are buried in Yin can also be immortal!" ”

"What is the Yin Gathering Position?" Liu Dan also began to feel that what Lao Liu Tou said made a little sense.

"In the Maoshan technique, the natural topography of a cemetery is called 'the land'..."Lao Liu Tou told the cause and effect of the "land", "In the ground, there can be several pools of yin, and all those buried in the place of the pool can not be corrupted!" But if a person with resentment is buried in the ground, he cannot enter reincarnation, that is, he cannot be reincarnated! ”

"Uncle Liu, according to what you said, burying too many dead people is killing the ground, so the massacre recorded on this mural is..."

"Hey, you're so smart! I just suspect that this ancient Egyptian emperor built an artificial burial ground for his brother! Look! Lao Liu Tou flashed a flashlight on the wall, "According to the painting on the wall, people have been smeared with something, I suspect that something is blocking the soul from leaving the body!" Then use the method of dividing the corpse to turn the grudge into yin, and one corpse will top ten corpses, so that the whole body will be better than the effect of natural formation! ”

"I've found a problem!" Qin Ge frowned and said, "Since it is said that Dedevula is the son of Anubis, then there should be a sculpture portrait of Anubis in this tomb, but I have been observing since I first came in, and there is no information about Anubis in this tomb!" ”

"Yes, I also think it's a little weird..."Liu Dan shone a flashlight around, there were some murals about the sacrifice and construction process, and there was no portrait of the god Anubis.

"Mr. Liu, didn't you just say that the ground can be embalmed, but if the dead die without turning a blind eye, can't be reincarnated?" Qin Ge asked.

"yes...... Yes!! Lao Liu's eyes rolled wildly, and he suddenly realized, "Okay, Lao Qin, are you also enlightened!?" ”

"How?" Liu Dan still didn't understand it.

"This Khafre, he spent so much effort to build this underground pyramid, and he didn't let his young master brother of Hades go to meet his Hades Laozi... In other words, that Defula is not the son of Lord Hades at all! Old Liu Tou narrowed his eyes, "Khafre's purpose is only one, that is, to make his brother unable to reincarnate!" ”

"Ahh Liu Dan also suddenly realized, "There is no reincarnation in Egypt, maybe Hafre wants to prevent the kingdom of Dedevra from taking revenge on himself......"

"Can't you get in? It seems that someone has already entered inside, it may be Sun Ting and them! As the crowd spoke, Alxun carefully examined the large stone gate in the middle of the tomb, and found that there was a hole in the corner of the tomb door, which was sealed by small pieces of rubble, and from the cracks in the stone around the hole, it looked as if it had been blown up.

"Thomson-style improvised blasting*! It must be Sun Ting, them! Liu Dan squatted down and began to take out the gravel that blocked the entrance of the cave, "The entrance of the cave is sealed, which means that they came out safely, and there should be no danger inside..."

"Girl... Don't say it so absolutely..."Old Liu Tou picked up a piece of gravel with his hand and shone it with a flashlight, "If they come out safely, then where did this blood come from...?" ”

——————————————————————

*Note: Thomson-style simple blasting: in the 19th century, an archaeologist named Thomson invented the simple blasting method, although it is more troublesome, but two or three people can operate, this blasting method can be very precise when encountering obstacles, in order to maintain the integrity of the monuments, in the 19th century Egyptian archaeology fever was once popular, later, some Europeans simply began to rob the tomb naked under the banner of archaeology, in order to facilitate the movement of things, the tomb door was directly blown up with explosives, Only some true archaeologists are sticking with this time-consuming and laborious method of blasting.
