250. The House of Regulus in Egypt

The mountains of Thebes, Egypt, are hidden in the tombs of many pharaohs and dignitaries, which is why it is called the Valley of the Kings. Because the imposing pyramids attracted many tomb robbers in the middle of the unstable ancient Egyptian kingdom, most of the mausoleums in the middle of the rocks in the Valley of the Kings were built very inconspicuously, and only the sacrificial temples built to worship the dead pharaohs can be seen on the side of the mountain. However, judging from the pictures shown in many tomb murals, the ground part of the mausoleum building still adopts the shape of a pyramid.

"The Xuanyuan family can actually build a research institute near the Valley of the Kings, will it affect the mausoleum here?" She looked at the pyramid-shaped boulder in the distance and muttered to herself.

"It's all built if it's not built, and it's so many years ago, maybe this place can be regarded as a monument." Qin Feng took off his sunglasses and smiled with a spring breeze.

But then again, the layout of the institute is very similar to that of ancient Egyptian temple architecture: a twenty-meter-high obelisk stands at the entrance, and the narrow passage is flanked by huge trapezoidal towers – the twin towers that mark the entrance to the temple, as it found in almost all Egyptian temples. After entering, there is a well-lit square courtyard, surrounded by a circle of columns - this should be the pillar courtyard of the temple building, but the pillars in it are just columns, no patterns and no decorations, ordinary but unnatural.

But further inside, the temple building should be a columned hall full of columns, but here is the work area of the various research room reference rooms, and through the work area, behind it is the recreation room and cafeteria of the research institute, which happens to separate the work area from the dormitory behind. It doesn't seem to make much sense to spend so much effort on a columned courtyard.

"What is that pillar at the door for? Flagpole? Are you too fat? Qin Feng looked at the obelisk with a disgusted expression and said.

"That's an obelisk, not a flagpole!" She threw Qin Feng a big white eye, she was really a guy with no common sense.

"What are you doing with a monument at the door? Do you want to commemorate someone? Qin Feng frowned.

"It's not meant to commemorate anything, it's a religious symbol of the ancient Egyptians' worship of the sun god and fertility, and it doesn't need to be used in practice." She explains, "The obelisk tapers from the bottom to the top, and there was originally a pyramid-shaped golden tip at the top, and when the first rays of sunlight appeared, the golden tip began to emit light, and as the sun rose, the light of the obelisk moved downstream, and finally illuminated the temple, representing the whole world being lit up." ”

At this point, a few applause rang out. "It seems that this guest also has a good understanding of the architectural elements of ancient Egypt." The visitor was wearing a crumpled white robe (I don't really understand why archaeologists wear this kind of "white coat"), underneath are some whitish loose casual jeans, the skin is a beautiful golden brown, the eyes are also light brown, and the short black hair looks a little messy because it is naturally curly, and the whole looks like a mixed-race child. "This young lady has a lot more connotation than the person who only shows off her face in front of the camera." The person who came glanced at Qin Feng and said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled coldly and replied, "If you look like you, like a gravedigger's face, I guess you won't be able to sell it if you want to!" ”

Belch...... Is this a narrow road?

"You two stop there." Xuanyuan Lan frowned, "What are you talking like in front of the guests?" ”

The two who were glaring at each other snorted from their nostrils in a rather tacit understanding, and at the same time shook their heads to the side.

These two are so childish.

The person who came regained a polite smile under Xuanyuan Lan's reproachful gaze and said, "Welcome to our research institute, I am the director of Shi Xiao here, the time of time, the dawn of dawn." ”

Hey? This director has the same surname as her?

"Xiao Sui, this guy is also surnamed Xuanyuan, Shi Xiao is his name, but it's not what you think." Qin Feng said disdainfully.

"Your use of idioms is just as bad." Shi Xiao pursed his lips with disdain, turned his head to her, and said, "So you are the rumored Shi Sui?" ”

She nodded, "Hello." Ah, these two are my friends, Tie Yirou and Glacier Relent. ”

Shi Xiao's eyes swept over the two people behind her, and suddenly sneered, "It's really a cheeky person with perseverance." After speaking, he turned around and went to talk to Xuanyuan Lan, and he didn't explain what the rude speech just now was.

She looked at Qin Feng in confusion, and Qin Feng stretched his chin in the direction of Glacier Mercy, so, Shi Xiao is talking about Glacier Mercy? Do they know each other? She looked at Glacier Mercy, who still had an unwavering iceberg expression and an icy aura that no one could approach, and she didn't react at all.

"Come, I'll take you to the guest room and settle down." Shi Xiao said, "I think this Miss Tie Yirou should be Dr. Tie Yiran's relative, right?" They look exactly the same. ”

"He's a brother." Tie Yirou said in her usual indifferent tone.

"Isn't it too cunning to be in the archaeology industry in your capacity?" Shi Xiao said funny.

Cunning? She looked at Tie Yirou's calm side face suspiciously, wondering if Xiao was playing some dumb riddle at this time? "Why cunning?" She simply asked.

Shi Xiao thought for a while and said, "I don't like to say some conclusions that have no substantive evidence, so I'm sorry." ”

Tsk, it's a guy who likes to sell off. She shrugged her shoulders boringly, "Don't say it, forget it." ”

Tie Yirou smiled a little profoundly: "There are some things that really shouldn't be said nonsense. ”

Shi Xiao quickly took his eyes off Tie Yirou, and seemed to be very jealous of Tie Yirou.

The guest rooms here are actually empty rooms in the dormitory of the institute, and the rooms are very standard single suites. The room is about 12 square meters, and the ceiling feels a little low when you enter the door, and you find that the bed is just above the door, and next to the door is the wardrobe, and the people who live in it can climb up from the ladder next to the wardrobe. The doorway is facing the window, which is also large and hung with plain curtains and plenty of light. There were also desks, chairs, and lamps by the window, and an empty bookshelf next to the desk, but it was spotless, and someone should have cleaned it. There is also a small door on the right side of the door, after opening the door and entering, there is a bathroom and toilet on the right hand, and there is a small stove on the left, some simple pots and pans, which is a small kitchen.

"I live next door, call me if there's something." Glacier admonished.

"Don't say that my research institute is as dangerous as the tiger's den in Longtan." Shi Xiao said coldly, "But in my place, don't go in the places where you are not allowed to enter, otherwise I will not be responsible for what happens." ”

Is there a place where entry is still prohibited? But the more forbidden such a place is, the more curious it is to see what's inside. She looked at Xuanyuan Lan and asked, "You haven't said yet, what are we going to do here?" ”

"Previously, Xuanyuan Yue discovered that the famous female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Hatshet Shep, seems to have come into contact with the ancient super-civilization, so let's see if we can find clues." Xuanyuan Lan explained.

She thought of the clay boards that Xuanyuan Yue was interested in. Damn, she didn't even have half a picture of the clay boards, otherwise she would have known what was written from the clay boards.

"Speaking of the Atlantean civilization, isn't it also related to the Xuanyuan family?" She said, "Didn't the Xuanyuan family also appear next to the female pharaoh? ”

"Oh-Spike, you're talking about ghosts, right?" Qin Feng interjected.

"You have a pretty good memory." Xuanyuan Lan glanced at Qin Feng with a pair of amethyst-like eyes, and said to her again, "Xiao Sui, did the ghost of the Xuanyuan family reveal anything to you?" ”

She shook her head. The ghost didn't even bother her.

"That ghost may have the key information about an ancient supercivilization." Xuanyuan Lan said this to Tie Yirou.
