Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection Part 1 Curse Cairo Chapter 7 The Tomb Robber's Skull

"Come out!" Elson picked up his gun, slowly walked into a very thick stone pillar, and suddenly went around behind the pillar, and there was nothing.

"Don't be too nervous...... Qin Ge cautiously walked around from the other side of the pillar, "There can't be anyone here, maybe you're too nervous......"

"I hope so......," Elson locked the safe, "but I think it's better to work in pairs, I don't think there's something quite right!" ”

"Good! I'm in a group with you! Lao Liu Tou agreed with Elson's opinion, with his previous experience, he also felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in this ancient city, "Girl, Qin Ye will trouble you......"

"Mr. Liu, you seem to have some misunderstanding with Professor Qin...... Allsun put the gun behind his back and followed Old Liu Tou to the depths of the ancient city.

Judging from the part exposed in the sand, the overall scale of this ancient city is about the size of a dozen football fields, at that time, it was definitely the capital level, all the exposed buildings are relatively magnificent, and the urban layout is relatively loose, and the functional zoning is also very clear, judging from some architectural relics, the exposed part is probably a market, and it is not difficult to see from the scale of the market that the scale of this city was not smaller than that of Fustad (Cairo) at that time, and even larger.

I don't know why such a city was abandoned and a temple was built to pay respects. In Liu Dan's view, it may be because of some unknown infectious disease or natural disaster, but Qin Ge does not agree with this view, although natural disasters can explain the temple in front of the city, but first, this magnificent ancient city does not look like it has suffered a natural disaster, and secondly, if there is a natural disaster, people are likely to wait for the natural disaster to pass before moving back, from the map, the ruins of this city can be said to be very scientific, and the distance between the Nile River and the Nile River is exactly the distance that the flood cannot reach, so the possibility of flooding can be ruled out. And after more than 3,000 years, the city has not been completely submerged by the desert, so the possibility of facing the threat of desertification like Loulan can be basically ruled out, if it is a plague, although it can explain why the city is barren, but the Egyptians could not be so stupid as to distinguish between disease and curse. In Qin Ge's opinion, war is more likely, but it can't explain the temple in front of the city, and the only thing that can explain everything is the curse that the entire city has suffered.

"Is it really a curse?" The current Qin Ge is quite convinced of the so-called supernatural phenomena.

"It shouldn't!" Liu Dan was also pondering while looking for it. "Pharaoh's curse is less vicious!" The ancient Egyptians loved and respected life very much, the emperors of ancient Egypt were very merciful to their subjects, even the slaves and workers who built the pyramids would receive good food and medical treatment, the latest research shows that the royal family would also pay them regularly, only those who disturbed the pharaoh's rest were cursed by the pharaoh, these curses were only for those who entered the tomb, it was impossible for a pharaoh to curse a city for no reason, and not every pharaoh would curse others, because according to some records, The pharaoh's curses were performed by monks or shamans, and the pharaoh himself did not have the ability to curse others.

"Do you think it's possible that a wizard has cursed this city?" Although Qin Ge is also an archaeologist, Dan does not know much about the history of Egypt.

"No way, the curse of Egypt is not as powerful as the legend says, and it is difficult to curse a single person, let alone an entire city. If there was such a person, Pharaoh would not tolerate his existence. ”

was discussing, and suddenly the sound of the metal detector in his hand quickened (Qin Ge was holding the most advanced military metal detector at that time this time, with a detection radius of 15 meters and a detection depth of nearly three meters), and there seemed to be some situation in a room that had been half-buried in sand.

"Go in and have a look......" Qin Ge pulled out his pistol and lowered his head into the house.

It seemed to be a noble residence, the room was large, the roof was gone, the room was emptyβ€”at least the part of the sand was exposed, there seemed to be carvings on the walls, but it was completely unrecognizable, and in the center of the room, the sound of the metal detector was the fastest, and it seemed that something was buried in the middle.

"Professor Qin, here, it seems to be a bit weird......" Liu Dan walked into the room and kept looking left and right.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge also felt a little strange, but Dan couldn't tell what was strange.

"Here, it seems that someone has dug it up recently, I don't know if Sun Ting did it." With many years of archaeological experience in Egypt, Liu Dan found that the sand in the middle of the house is obviously lower than the surroundings, although it has been more than a month since the Sun Ting accident, but the wind and sand here are not bad, so some traces can still be seen.

"Quite possibly...... What are they digging here for? Qin Ge took out a folding shovel from behind his back and began to dig sand, and after a few diggings, he came across a hard erection thing.

"This is the temple?" Qin Ge put down the shovel and began to dig with his hands, and gradually, an iron box appeared in front of the two, about the same size as an electric oven, but very heavy.

"The chests of the ancient Egyptians! This family must be a nobleman, when Arango was about to be destroyed, iron smelting had just been introduced to Egypt, and there were not many domestic iron mines in Egypt at that time, so the value of iron was almost the same as gold, with such a large iron box, this family was a very rich nobleman! But I don't know why such a valuable iron box was left here! Liu Dan carefully observed the pattern on the outside of the iron box, "This box doesn't seem to be completely iron, there seems to be some kind of mysterious antiseptic layer on the outside, and after more than 3,000 years, there is no corrosion, it's a miracle......"

"What's carved on the outside of the box?" Qin Ge asked.

"Osiris, the evil god of ancient Egyptian mythology, is said to have turned his mummy into such an evil god if his soul failed to fly through the cracks in the pyramids." Liu Dan took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the pattern on the outside of the box, "Osellis led his army to slaughter, and the way of killing people is very strange, as if the captives are forced to drink some kind of poison, and then the captives will lose their lives. Become a slave to Oseris...... These manpower is infinite, and ......," Liu Dan's eyes widened, "and there is no shadow!" ”

"No shadows?" Qin Ge also came up, "Ah Xun, we have found some information, please come to us!" ...... northeast from where we came in."

"Important information that we have also discovered!" Elson's voice came over the intercom, "We've found a passage to the underground!" ”

"To the underground?" Qin Ge frowned, "We found an iron box, the contents of the surface of the box seem to be related to Arango's curse, you guys come first, let's go down that passage together!" ”

"Do you want us to open it first?" Liu Dandao.

"No! Let's let Mr. Liu see if it can be opened! "After going through those things last time, Qin Ge also believed in evil, thinking that it was better to find Lao Liu Tou to confirm this kind of thing first.

After about ten minutes, Lao Liu Tou and Allson trotted all the way into the door.

"It's nothing...... It seems to be ......" Old Liu Tou took the compass and looked at it for a long time. "This box is iron, and iron is impermeable to yin and yang, so I can't be sure if there is any danger in it."

"I'm going to open him! Stand back, everybody! "Elson stepped forward to open the box.

"Wait!" Lao Liu Tou approached Elson, grabbed a handful of copper coins and put a strange pattern on the ground, and took out a talisman armpit from his pocket and put it in Elson's waist, "I don't know if it works, stand in this circle and open the box, don't go out of the circle!" Let's stand back! Lao Liu Tou said, exited the house with Qin Ge and Liu Dan, and drew a pass on the ground at the door, "The sun rises in the east, and the light is great." Five soldiers in the court, for me King Kong! Haste as a law! He pulled out his dragon scale dagger and slammed it into the center of the door.

"The one next to Brother Ai is called the 'Two Realms Fu', and the one at the door is called the 'Dingmen Array', even if there is really that thing in the box, it shouldn't hurt Brother Ai. I can't get out of this house,...... old Liu Tou said, "But this Maoshan formation, whether it works against Egypt or not, I don't know in my heart." ”

"What do you mean by 'that thing'...... Result...... What is it? Liu Dan was so frightened that she trembled when she spoke, don't look at her as an archaeologist, but she is most afraid of those ghostly things.

"Hell! What else could there be? Old Liu Tou was also surprised. The heart said that why did she toss for a long time, why didn't this little girl even understand who the opponent was? But as soon as this sentence came out, Liu Dan completely collapsed.

Elson crouched down, first took out his goggles and gas mask, and put on rubber gloves to prevent the box from being poisonous. Then he began to check for any special mechanisms around the iron box, and after making sure that there was no danger outside the box, he inserted the tip of the folding crowbar into the crack of the box.

With a bang, the box was pried open.

Inside the box, there was a dead man's skull and a roll of sheepskin, the sheepskin was missing, looking at the shape, it was the piece that Sun Ting took, it was certain that Sun Ting had opened the box.

"Doesn't seem to be a problem!" Elson shouted at the people outside the door, "This box has been opened!" ”

"It's really no problem!" Old Liu Tou looked at the compass and didn't react. Let's go inside!

"Oh my God!" Liu Dan picked up the sheepskin, "This hero is a tomb robber!" ”

"How do you know?" Qin Ge asked.

"It's called scientific research!" Old Liu Tou teased Liu Dan with a hippie smile, "This is not a tomb robbery, it is purely for the purpose of researching ......"

"This sheepskin records the internal structure of no less than fifteen pyramids...... It is also recorded here that something was stolen from the pyramids......" Liu Dan glanced at Old Liu's head, his face flushed with anger, "This is Khufu's, this is Jedkara's, God, even Tutankhamun's pyramid He has visited, this is Khafre's...... Hey? ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge frowned.

"Sun Ting also tore off the internal structure of Khafre's pyramid, which is also on this sheepskin! Why did this tomb robber draw the structure of the Khafre pyramid twice? And why did Sun Ting tear up one of them? Liu Dan asked a question mark, "Quickly show me the sheepskin in Sun Ting's bag......"

Elson took out the sheepskin map on Sun Ting's body from his bag and handed it to Liu Dan.

"My God......" Liu Dan gasped, his eyes widened, "Unbelievable......"
