Chapter 80: The Cursed Nation (5)
The total lunar eclipse has begun, and the entrance to the temple has surfaced over the lake.
A typical Egyptian-style ancient castle, the theme color of earthy yellow, along a longitudinal axis layout of a series of spaces from large to small gradually shrinking, the ancient temple, the strong history and sacred atmosphere come to the face, people can't help but have an urge to worship, this may be the majesty of God!
Most of those mercenaries were Egyptians, so they were the first to kneel, and the other was the woman of the three tomb robbers in Pokton, who was also Egyptian, so they would bow down and worship their god.
"This should only be a part of the Moon Temple, the real part should still be below, the entrance to the temple only appears for about ten minutes, and as soon as the total lunar eclipse passes, it will sink under the lake again, and then it will be impossible to enter, let's go." Laura observed, and took the lead on the bridge formed by the tongue of the water frog.
This woman is really bold and anxious, she is not afraid that she will be eaten by this so-called holy beast, of course, the probability of that situation is only 1 in 10,000, when Laura walked halfway to the bridge of the tongue, Yi Xiaofeng's figure flashed, it seemed to be a leisurely stroll, but in fact, it turned into a hundred steps, and appeared behind Laura in the blink of an eye, until the two stepped on the head of the water frog and entered the entrance gate of the temple, Qom Lebion took his remaining thirteen mercenaries to the bridge of tongues, in fact, it was the three of Pokton, and finally Professor Li and others.
Sure enough, as soon as the total lunar eclipse passed, the Moon God Palace immediately began to sink until the water surface returned to calm again, and the water frog was also lifted from its petrified state and regained its free body.
The temple is the place where the gods live, so the materials are very large, so as to reflect the incomparably tall and majestic gods of the gods. Most of the carvings in the form of plants and animals in the buildings have religious symbolism, which also created the megalithic art form of ancient Egypt.
After entering the hall of the temple from the entrance, the oil basin in the main hall automatically burns, illuminating the main hall as bright as day. The huge pillars and stone carvings and murals all show the long history and culture of ancient Egypt. Each pillar is at least twenty or thirty meters high, with a total of nine huge pillars, on which are depicted the nine pillar gods in Egyptian mythology.
In the middle of the hall is a beautiful and noble stone fresco with a painted box at her feet, in which the wish cup is said, but the key to open the box must be found.
There are nine passages in the main hall, and no one knows where they lead, light or darkness, and the end is lucky or bad?
Coom Lebion, with his mercenaries, the three Pocton, and Professor Lee, with his students and assistants, each chose a passage and stepped into the unknown.
"Beautiful lady Laura, where do you think the key and box of the moon god will be placed?" Yi Xiaofeng asked while observing the entire hall.
"Maybe the answer is above those passages, it's just that the light is too dark in those places, and I think you should have a way." Laura winked at Yi Xiaofeng and pointed at the brazier.
Yi Xiaofeng naturally understood what she meant, and a huge fireball was conjured up in his hand, under the control of his mind, it was divided into nine, and with a push of his palm upward, the nine flame balls hit the top of the doorway of the nine passages respectively, and immediately the crushed lime attached to the surface was sprinkled, revealing the clear notches below, which was a pattern, a pattern of animals symbolizing the nine pillars of God.
The passage of the moon god was the fifth, and just as the two of them were about to enter it, the stone wall in the middle of the main hall depicted the necklace around the neck of the moon god Harthor moved, and then the small stones broke and fell off, and a red cylindrical gem fell out.
Key.
That's right, that's the key on the painted box, I didn't expect it to be hidden in the mural, but how could the mural fall off for no reason?
After a few seconds, the entire mural shattered and collapsed, revealing a huge stone statue behind it, with a body of eagle head and human body, Horus, symbolizing the patron saint of the pharaohs, also known as the god of war.
"What's going on, isn't this the temple of the moon god? How did the stone statue of Horus end up here? Yi Xiaofeng looked at the stone statue in surprise, and a not-so-good premonition gradually rose in his heart.
Perhaps, this is related to the myths and legends of ancient Egypt, legend has it that Horus is the son of the god of the underworld Osiris and Isis, the god of love, and later Seth and his wife Nephthys came to Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt, and then fell in love for a long time, Nefertis secretly fell in love with Osiris, drunk him with wine and gave birth to Anubis, and later after Seth knew, he began to take revenge madly and killed Osiris, and later Isis resurrected Osiris with the help of divine power and gave birth to Horus, Horus was born with divine power, and his left eye represents the moon, The right eye represents the sun.
After Seth knew about it, he began to hunt down Horus and gouged out his left eye, and later regained his left eye with the help of the moon god Hartor, but Harthor was seriously injured by Seth and put a strong curse on her, Horus married her in order to repay Harthol, and tried all means to break the curse on her, and finally found two artifacts, that is, the painted box and the wish cup, but this is not enough, if you want to use the divine power of the wish cup to break the curse, you need three things, holy blood, Tears of love, lake of heaven. Later, the reason why Horus and Harthor disappeared was because Horus dug a ditch in the Heavenly Lake in order to reach the Heavenly Lake, and flowed to the human world. ”
Laura tried to tell the story as concisely as possible, but it still took more than ten minutes, and in this short ten minutes, the three teams that entered the passage all encountered dangers of various sizes, they touched the mechanism, and the hope of escaping was very slim.
In fact, only two of the nine passages have some treasures, but if you are greedy and want to take them, the trap will be triggered, and the other seven passages are full of traps, and ordinary people are basically dead.
Listening to the screams coming from the passage, the hysterical shouts for help, Yi Xiaofeng's heart softened, although they didn't listen to their own advice at the beginning, and they insisted on following in, but it was not his style to see death and not save him, especially his own compatriots in it.
"You want to go in and save them?" Laura saw Yi Xiaofeng's thoughts, stared at him and asked, "Actually, you don't have to pay attention to it, it's because they don't listen to the advice themselves, and they insist on following in, in your Huaxia saying, they can't live if they do their own evil." ”
After Laura, she looked at Yi Xiaofeng's appearance, and sighed helplessly, "If you want to go, hurry up, this temple is full of weirdness, let's find things quickly and leave early." ”
"Well, I'll go back quickly." After speaking, Yi Xiaofeng rushed into the passage that Professor Li's team entered like a gust of wind.
It turned out that Professor Li and the others met eight mummies, as for what the process was, there was no need to ask, because there were already two people who had been bitten by the mummies, and they would be corpses immediately, and Professor Li and the two students were left with a helping hand to hold the shovel in their hands, torches and other things were struggling to resist, they wanted to escape, but an iron gate blocked their only hope of escape.
"Professor Li, if you hold on, I'll get you out immediately." Yi Xiaofeng conjured up several flame flying swords in his hand as he spoke, and shot out in an instant, and the mummies that ordinary people were helpless with all their might, just between two breaths, all of them were pierced by the flame swords, and then turned into ashes.
The incomparably hard iron gate was like paper paste under the thousands of degrees of heat of the Chaos True Fire, and it suddenly melted into molten iron. The four of Professor Li were very grateful to Yi Xiaofeng, so easily they solved those ghostly mummies in an instant, treated him like a fairy, and couldn't wait to hug Yi Xiaofeng's thighs and call him dad and mom.
Originally, I wanted Professor Li and them to leave from the entrance, but the total lunar eclipse has passed, and the entrance has long been sealed, which means that the temple of the moon god is now at the bottom of the lake, and it is impossible to return the same way, so there is no other way out.
When Yi Xiaofeng and the others returned to the main hall again, Laura was holding the Chixiao Sword that Yi Xiaofeng gave her to defend herself and fighting a monster with a human on the upper body and a scorpion on the lower body, but the situation was a little bad.
Although the Chixiao Sword has been upgraded from a mortal weapon to a magic weapon under Yi Xiaofeng's refining and spiritual energy, its power has been greatly enhanced, but it also depends on who the person who uses the sword is, you just take an artifact and give it to an ordinary person, even if he can hold it, he can't exert one-ten-thousandth of its power at all, so Laura is in this situation now.
If the Chixiao Sword was in Yi Xiaofeng's hands, the effect would naturally be very different.
So a fire roasted all the little scorpions on the ground with mortal fire, and then a dodge picked up Laura and lifted her out of the Scorpion King's attack range.
"Oh, dear Yi, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I'll be taken away by this guy to be the Scorpion Queen." Laura joked playfully.
"It's possible, who called you too charming!" Yi Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"If I'm really that charming, why aren't you charmed by me?" Although Laura's expression was indiscerning, there was a hint of resentment in her tone.
Roar......
The Scorpion King suddenly lost its prey, and was already a little puzzled, but when it saw Yi Xiaofeng holding Laura, it immediately let out an angry roar, moved its six long legs, and rushed over with two huge pincers.
Yi Xiaofeng held Laura in his left hand, waved the Chixiao Sword with his right hand, and easily blocked the Scorpion King's big pincers, which made the Scorpion King even more angry, a small human actually blocked his attack with one hand, which was simply a huge insult to him, but to be honest, this guy's pincers were really a little hard, and Yi Xiaofeng's hands were a little numb.
Looking at the Scorpion King, who was a little crazy, Yi Xiaofeng obviously didn't have the patience to continue wasting time with an ugly monster, injecting a little spiritual power of Chaos True Fire into the Chixiao Sword, and slashing horizontally with one sword, the two big pincers of the Scorpion King were cut off in an instant, and at the same time, his head also fell to the ground, Ku Dong, and his huge body fell to the ground.
Professor Li became interested in the corpse of the Scorpion King, and took two students and assistants to take some tissue and blood samples from the corpse and put them on.
"The painted box is there." Laura shouted as she pointed to the Horus Stone.
