"I don't think it's necessary to try." She replied categorically.

Shi Xiao raised his eyes unexpectedly and asked, "Why?" ”

"If I could have had what you said, I wouldn't be here to ask you about them!" Isn't that obvious? "As a scientist, can you give some practical advice? At its simplest, call the police to say they are missing and ask the police to help find someone. "Because I am afraid that foreigners will stay in the country illegally, I will definitely hurry up to find someone.

"It's so simple. They are stealing Egyptian antiquities, do you want to go to the police and say that they went to steal Egyptian unexcavated antiquities and disappeared? Shi Xiao said.

How can there be such a stupid statement? "We could say they lost contact during the sightseeing!"

"So where are you going to say they went sightseeing? It is a crime to lie to the police. Shi Xiao said disapprovingly.

This director is always suspicious, is he insisting on using his fantasy method? She couldn't help but roll her eyes, and asked as calmly as she could, "Are there any other practical suggestions other than the impractical method of telepathy that you proposed?" ”

Shi Xiao frowned and looked at his watch, pressed his hand on the desk for a while, and said as if he had made up his mind: "There is no other way, go directly to them." ”

It turns out that there is no other way except fantasy? Alas-

"But I can't guarantee that place is safe." Shi Xiao looked at her thoughtfully and said, "You'd better be mentally prepared." ”

"I'm going too?" She pointed to herself, "If it's a normal realm, you don't think a clumsy guy like me can be of any use in a dangerous place, do you?" ”

Shi Xiaobei smiled meaningfully: "How do you know that you won't be useful?" The patriarch said that you can talk to the mermaid, and even have a keener sense than Xuanyuan You, and he also used himself as bait to help him catch Aoin, which can be said to be brave and strategic, how can it not help? ”

Hehe, she didn't know that she was so powerful, Xuanyuan Yue could boast about her so strongly, even gossip magazine reporters had to bow down to this rumor-mongering skill. "It doesn't seem like I can't go anymore." She laughed dryly.

Shi Xiao nodded and took out a copy from the drawer, with some strange symbols drawn on it. "This is a scroll of papyrus drawings on the site of the obelisk built by the female pharaoh Hatshetshep. Comparing the current map of Egypt, we can find traces of some obelisks or pedestals on these sites. ”

"Oh...... she couldn't read what was written or drawn on it. I've read in the book before that there are only five obelisks left in Egypt now, and the rest are scattered around the world because of the looting of antiquities in recent times. Are these traces of the foundation that were left over after the destruction or something? ”

Shi Xiao nodded and shook his head, saying, "Although traces were found, they were not left because of modern destruction, but were destroyed earlier. ”

"How early was earlier?" She asked, "You don't want to say that the female pharaoh had her nerve to tear down the obelisks after she had built them?" ”

Shi Xiao floated a smile, and that smile contained a lot of things, which she couldn't understand for a while.

"Even if you don't hit it, it's not far away." Shi Xiao replied, "The person who toppled these obelisks is my guess that it is Pharaoh Thutmose III after Hatshetshep. ”

Wow, why is the nephew of the female pharaoh so wasteful? My aunt built a bunch of obelisks with all my money, but my nephew broke them all? "In that case, where did you get this drawing? How do you confirm that the drawings are the site of the obelisk? "Could it be that those strange symbols above are ancient Egyptian scripts? She had read the architectural drawings of the ancient Egyptians in books, and they were as random and scribbled as children's graffiti, which did not match their sophisticated architecture.

Shi Xiao smiled and didn't answer her question, only said: "Mark the locations of these obelisks on the map one by one, and these locations are connected on the map to form a golden spiral." ”

"The golden spiral? But isn't that based on the Fibonacci sequence discovered in the early 13th century? Surprised, she asked, "Did Egypt have this kind of mathematics so long ago?" ”

"The astronomical and mathematical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians is already surprising to modern people. But they don't necessarily have mastered that kind of sequence, but these positions do form the shape of a golden spiral. Shi Xiao said.

Obviously, the location of these obelisks must have some kind of meaning, but it is not known what exactly it means. "So, what about the formation of a golden spiral?"

"Compared to the current map, the center of this spiral is the famous temple of the tomb of the female pharaoh, which is the sightseeing spot we are going to today." Shi Xiao announced.

"So, the place where Yirou and Xuanyuan Lan went is the Mausoleum Temple of Hatshetshep?" The ancient Egyptian pharaohs all claimed to be the reincarnation of Horus, but Hatshet Shepp was the daughter of the self-proclaimed god Amun, and it seems that it has little to do with Horus, so why is the "Eye of Horus" there? Could it be that Thutmose III's purpose in toppling the obelisk was not to let people know where the "Eye of Horus" was and what it had to do with the female pharaoh? Tsk, that's a lot of work, wouldn't it be faster to hide things somewhere else?

"Yes and no." Shi Xiao said ambiguously.

"I'm sorry, I'm stupid, please explain." She said angrily.

"They went through the mausoleum temple and went to another place that did not belong to the temple." Shi Xiao said.

"Wow - those female pharaohs who designed and built the mausoleum temple are quite bold, and they dare to make a small move in the queen's mausoleum temple?" Legend has it that Senemt, the temple designer, was Hatshetshep's lover, and the queen may have instructed him to do so.

"Whether he was bold or deliberately did it according to the instructions of the female pharaoh, we don't know for the time being. The only thing we know is that there may be a 'Eye of Horus' hidden in it. Shi Xiao said slowly and seriously, "That thing was called the 'Eye of Horus' by the ancient Egyptiansβ€”this may be more appropriate." β€œ

"I don't know if it's appropriate or not, I just know that there are too many ambiguous questions in what you said." For example, how was Shi Xiao sure that this sketch with only the location of the obelisk was a hint of the "Eye of Horus", and how did he know that the location of the obelisk was related to the "Eye of Horus"?

Shi Xiao asked her with a smile: "Do you think I was making up a lie just now?" ”

"At least it's certainly not the knowledge of everything, the words are endless." She shrugged, "But it's okay if you hide it, anyway, I don't have the slightest interest in the open and secret battles in your Xuanyuan family, and I don't want to get involved in your plans to promote the development of human history." Since Yirou and Xuanyuan Lan are there, should we hurry up and find them, lest they really have any accidents when it's too late? ”

Shi Xiao's staring at her made her uncomfortable, but the content of his words didn't seem to match his piercing eyes, "That's right, let's prepare a little, let's go find out after dinner." ”

"What do you want to bring with you?" Flashlight or dry food and water? She asked, scratching her hair.

Shi Xiao laughed as if he had heard some joke.
