Chapter 61: The Kanahan Siblings
The scorching sun, the rolling yellow sand, the air seemed to be boiling, and the sky and the earth were empty.
Fortunately, after reaching the realm of the unity of heaven and man, the martial artist has been invasive, and in this environment, there is not much hindrance.
Looking around, I saw that the desert seemed to be boundless, and only the northeast was faintly visible.
Han Lie immediately stopped delaying, directly found the right direction, transported the Kunpeng Nine Changes, and rushed away.
As the saying goes: look at the mountain and run a dead horse. In the desert, this phrase is also universal.
Han Lie walked quickly for more than half an hour, but he saw that those things were still floating in the sky, and he couldn't see his whole body, only showing a little bit of his head.
However, this was enough for Han Lie to see what it was, he pursed his lips and asked himself, "What did I see?" Pyramid! Have I come to ancient Egypt this time? ”
Talking nonsense, it was still necessary to continue to rush forward, Han Lie picked up his speed again, and used all his strength to cut through the air and create a blurry afterimage on the desert.
When Han Lie finally arrived, he found that at the foot of the huge pyramid was a city of considerable scale, with people coming and going, and it was very prosperous.
Following the flow of people, Han Lie had just stepped onto the avenue into the city, when a group of white patrol soldiers in standard military uniforms trotted past him shouting slogans.
Frowning, Han Lie said in his heart: "This antique style military uniform from the last century, pyramids, old-fashioned bolt-action rifles, the British flag hanging at the head of the city, the white army, where the hell am I......"
With some vague guesses, Han Lie walked into the city, and after a while, he finally knew the time and place where he was, Cairo, the capital of Egypt in 1926.
This message came from some ruffians who were not too long-eyed, and they regarded Han Lie, a strange yellow man, as an alien little sheep that could be slaughtered.
However, it was obvious that Han Lie was a black dragon in sheep's clothing, so he didn't need to roar, and he would stun them by showing a little dragon might.
In an inconspicuous corner, Han Lie smiled and said in English, "Come on, man, hand over all the money you have, don't let me be rough again." ”
The ruffians were very aware of the opportunity, and after being swept down by Han Lie two or three times at will, their whole body was paralyzed by pain, and they couldn't move for a long time, they understood the horror of the young man in front of them.
Hearing the order, they didn't dare to disobey, and immediately took out all the banknotes and coins on their bodies, and sent them to Han Lie by the leading ruffian half-kneeling.
The leader trembled and raised his hands in submission, begging for mercy in broken English: "Please don't kill us, just take the money." ”
Grabbing the money, Han Lie turned around and walked out, ignoring these scumbags, after entering the city, he was still hesitating to do some black work and make some extra money.
As a result, these ruffians were sent to the door by themselves, and Han Lie could only say that this was a typical example of not dying if he didn't die.
Turning out of the corner and coming to a densely populated street, Han Lie was looking for a hotel to clean the dust, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow on the opposite street, and his eyes were immediately attracted.
The reason why this is so is, of course, not only because the target's appearance is beautiful, but more importantly, her face looks a little familiar to Han Lieju.
Staring at her in a daze, Han Lie's mind raced, searching for the various curtains in his memories.
Rachel Weisz, a name quickly jumped out, Han Lie grinned at the corner of his mouth, looked at the man beside her, and said secretly: "But if I guessed correctly, here, you should be called Evelyn." ”
Han Lie decisively abandoned his previous thoughts, followed through the crowd, and as soon as he took half a step, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the corner just now.
The ruffians who tried to blackmail Han Lie just now, but were robbed by him in turn, were holding each other's shoulders and limping out.
Suddenly, they felt a flower in front of them, as if someone had slapped their bodies, and when they looked again, they saw Han Lie reappear in front of them.
The leading ruffian's legs went limp, and he almost knelt down again, but Han Lie waved lightly in the air and immediately held him steady.
Shaking his head, Han Lie smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, dear friends, I need you to do me a favor now, I guess you guys who are hospitable won't refuse me, right?" ”
At this time, the ruffians found that the soreness in their bodies had suddenly disappeared, and the ruffians led by him couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, he swallowed his saliva, and looked back.
Seeing that everyone else was nodding vigorously at him, he hurriedly turned around and nodded at Han Lie repeatedly: "Dear sir, if you have any orders, please just say it." ”
Smiling with satisfaction, Han Lie's lips moved slightly, and he gave an order in the ear of the leading ruffian with the method of transmitting sound into the secret.
…………
After a while, when the men and women who were blocked by the ruffians on the side of the street looked nervous and were about to shout for help, Han Lie suddenly appeared as if he had been born out of nowhere.
Han Lie shouted angrily and jumped into the arena, using a series of combos that were enough to dazzle people's eyes and can be called shadowless fast legs.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! The poor ruffians were kicked to the ground again, but fortunately this time it was a show, and they looked miserable, and the injuries were not too serious.
The leader showed a frightened look in seven points and three points fakely, and shouted in a hurry: "Run." Then he rushed away with all the ruffians of the land.
Patting his collar, Han Lie pretended to be disdainful, snorted coldly, and immediately turned to the men and women behind him.
His eyes lit up, as if he had just seen her appearance clearly, the corners of Han Lie's mouth curved, he smiled, stepped forward and walked up to the woman whose panicked look had not yet receded, and bowed slightly to her.
Then, Han Lie pinched her right hand, put it to her lips and kissed the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "This beautiful lady, I'm sorry to frighten you." ”
The woman suddenly woke up, reacted to what had just happened, and looked at Han Lie in a daze, "You...... Helped us? ”
Han Lie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Hmm...... I think so, what's the problem? ”
Hearing this, the woman immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment, lowered her head in embarrassment, and snorted, "I'm sorry, I just... You're so fast, I don't see much of it, I mean, thank you. ”
The man next to him saw that Han Lie had been pinching the woman's palm and didn't put it down, and the woman didn't seem to feel anything, so he hurriedly inserted his body between the two.
Sneering and nodding at Han Lie, the man stretched out his right hand and said, "Jonathan Canahan, this is my sister Evelyn. ”
Han Lie then turned his gaze to his face, politely shook his hand, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jonathan......"
After a pause, Han Lie looked at the woman behind him again, and bowed slightly: "And Miss Evelyn, please forgive me for offending, you are really quite beautiful, I have been fascinated by you." ”
Jonathan coughed and interrupted him dryly, "So, sir, what should we call you?" ”
Han Lie knocked on the door of his head and said suddenly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I was rude, you can call me Han Lie, I'm from China." ”
Picking up her brother Jonathan who was blocking in front of her, Evelyn leaned forward slightly, shook hands with Han Lie again, looked at him curiously, and said, "Can I call you Han?" You were so powerful just now, are you an ascetic? ”
Han Lie was a little puzzled and asked, "Of course you can, it's just, ascetic?" Why do you ask? ”
Evelyn twitched her slender willow eyebrows, "Legend has it that there is some kind of mysterious religious sect in the East, and their ascetics are good at some strange skills, aren't you?" ”
After thinking about it, Han Lieden understood, and couldn't help but laugh and replied, "Are you talking about the ascetic monks in India?" ”
Evelyn immediately shook her head up and down, "Yes, yes, I heard my parents say that India, yes, is there, the mysterious and ancient treasure trove of the Orient. ”
Spreading his hands and smiling helplessly, Han Lie interrupted: "I think you may not have heard clearly just now, I am from China, not India, and I want to go further east." ”
Evelyn paused, showing a choked expression, and then said apologetically, "Oh... Han... I'm sorry, I ...... Well...... Anyway, I'm sorry. ”
Han Lie waved his hand, raised his eyebrows, and gave her a warm smile, "It's okay, I'm very tolerant, especially for beautiful women." ”
Jonathan interjected duly in time, "Han, huh? You are a Chinese, why did you come to Cairo? ”
Han Lie had been prepared for this for a long time, and fluently explained the lies he had made up in his heart before: "I have traveled around Europe before, Rome is my last stop, and before leaving, I heard that a ship is coming to Egypt, so I want to come and see it. ”
Hearing this, Evelyn asked excitedly, "Are you also interested in the civilization of ancient Egypt?" Are you here for this? ”
Han Lie's head shrank back, "Wow, how do you know?" Yes, it's one of the birthplaces of some of the great civilizations of the ancient world, and I've been fascinating it for a long time. ”
Clenching her fist and slamming the air lightly, Evelyn smiled: "Yes, you are right, ancient Egypt is so mysterious and interesting, I have studied it deeply." ”
With his eyes wide, Han Lie asked in surprise, "Really?" To tell you the truth, I was looking for a guide who was familiar with ancient Egypt, and I didn't know Miss Evelyn......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Evelyn blurted out, "Call me Eve, and I'll be happy to be your guide...... Not right now, though. ”
Han Lie pretended to sigh regretfully: "Okay, it seems that you guys seem to have something, so I won't delay your time......"
Seeing his expression, Evelyn suddenly felt as if she was committing a crime, and she interrupted Han Lie once again and interjected, "No, if you don't mind, please follow us." ”
Han Lie's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he bowed his head happily: "Thank you, Eve, I am very happy." ”
Seeing this, Jonathan shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's really annoying to have a beautiful sister, like a blooming flower that attracts bees all the time." ”
Evelyn tilted her head in confusion, "What are you talking about?" Brother? I didn't hear it very clearly. ”
Jonathan hurriedly put on a smile and said, "I mean, if Han can join us, then this trip will definitely be safer." ”
Han Lieqi said, "Are you going to go on a trip?" Where to go? Can I participate? ”
Evelyn patted Jonathan's arm, gave him a look of disgust, and explained to Han Lie, "It's not certain yet, in fact, we're also about to go to the guide right now." ”
Looking around like a thief, Jonathan stepped forward and whispered in Han Lie's ear, "Have you ever heard of the Hamna Tower?" ”
Han Lie's pupils widened, "Oh! You mean that legendary city of the dead? Are you going there? If that's right, be sure to bring me along. ”
Jonathan and Evelyn looked at each other, and then told him what had happened without fear or defense.
He took out an eight-sided box the size of a palm from his bosom, opened it, and took out a map, and Evelyn said: "There is the royal seal of Seti I on it, and the location of the Tower of Hamna is marked. ”
Jonathan pointed to the black and gray imprint on the edge of the map, and then took over and said, "It's a pity that the location of the city has been burned by the librarian of the library. ”
Evelyn hurriedly said, "My brother will take us to the person who found the box, he may know the direction." ”
Han Lie applauded and said with a smile, "Very good, I solemnly announce that I will join your team." ”
