Chapter 9: The King's Keepers
I don't know how long it took, under the miserable white moonlight, the thin clouds and mist added to the strange horror, the howling of the blue wolf hyena, the cold light of the black eyes of the scorpion, and the elusive predators of the night......
When the temperature dropped, the pores on the cactus meat matrix gradually opened, and Batra's soles were already exposed, and she fell down on the sand, and the swirl-shaped, circle-by-circle lines formed after the quicksand subsided were still very clear!
When Sun handed her hand in front of Batra and pulled her out of the range of quicksand, Sun didn't expect that his arm would be difficult to deal with the quicksand that only buried her feet! And after Batra's body left, the balance of force in the quicksand part was broken again, and the flow occurred again, even more violently!
……
The two of them who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe looked at each other silently, and suddenly, Batra hugged Sun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun's hand hung in the air, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know where to put it......
When her whimpering sounded clearer, there was some kind of liquid on his shoulders other than sweat, and he gently and gently stroked her back.
Her face reflected in the moonlight was very delicate, like an untouched little girl. In fact, she is only 19 years old......
Towards the end of the night, piles of bonfires burn outside the Valley of the Kings to keep warm and keep away the night beasts, as well as some dangerous reptiles!
In the simple camp tent, the figures of two or three soldiers could be faintly seen, as well as the sound of snoring not far away......
Patrolling night watchmen, holding torches all night long, on guard everywhere!
A dark cloud drifted by, obscuring the moonlight, and the air grew colder, and the night watchman shivered.
A slight imprint on the sand is......
From this side, there is clearly a figure, although the light is very dim. I can only see the vague outline, and I can vaguely distinguish that it is a woman!
And from the night watchman's side, it was still an unobstructed and endless sandy field!
Finally, relying on the cover of the night and Sun's stealth camouflage uniform, Batra successfully reached the entrance of the Imperial Valley Mausoleum! The sconces on the mausoleum gate hung high, flickering with a faint firelight, ghostly. And at the entrance, except for a stone statue of the god Anubis with an abominable face and a majestic and sacred face......
The night, and the cold of the mausoleum, seemed to warn outsiders who ventured into the pharaoh's resting place in advance, but in the next second, he and her figures had disappeared into the depths of the mausoleum......
"Drip ......"
"Drip ......"
The water droplets falling down the stone wall emit the sound of the infrasonic frequency band, which is extremely disgusting!
Along the corridor into the depths of the mausoleum, the oil lamps on the stone walls swayed in the cold wind, illuminating the frescoes above:
The characters on the mural have very obvious characteristics, or they are so strange that they are incongruous! The figure is always sideways, but the head, hands, and feet are not represented in a very unreasonable way, as if the painter deliberately showed the limbs of the body that were blocked when the figure turned sideways, and the dead woman also had a long beard......
The deceased lie peacefully in a coffin with the Eye of Horus engraved on it! The body of the deceased undergoes an intricate process, the internal organs and brain marrow are emptied, the internal organs are soaked in special medicines, salt and spices are applied to the corpse to absorb the moisture, and the body is wrapped in a long strip of cloth coated with aromatic gum.
This is followed by the burial ceremony, in which the mummy is ceremoniously carried to the entrance of the tomb, then erected and given an opening salute. (Let the "ka" and "ba" (spirit and soul) escape from the body.) )
Finally, the coffin containing the mummy and funerary goods was buried in the crypt and sealed forever......
"Whoever disturbs Pharaoh's sleep, death will spread its wings and come upon his head!"
After a series of embalming measures, the body was dehydrated and shriveled over a long period of thousands of years in arid climates, and became a mummy...... However, this is only a shell! The Egyptians believed that the afterlife of man is the eternal life of the soul......
Under the guidance of Anubis, the souls of the deceased travel to the underworld and go through the trials of the green-skinned god Osiris to determine whether he can live forever!
When the deceased has passed the tests, he will be greeted by the judgment of the "balance of good and evil"!
Anubis will weigh the heart of the dead with the feather that symbolizes the truth, and if the scales are not balanced, the heart will be eaten by the crocodile-headed sphinx monster Amut guarding the scales!
The ending can be imagined......
”&……&…… (So, in order to make the dead pass the judgment of the underworld, people put books of the dead in the tombs of the dead for the dead to read!) Sun said every word rigorously, and while he was amazed, he couldn't believe that he could get so close to the holy place in the hearts of the Egyptians, the temple of the Pharaoh who had gone to the land of eternal life!
”&……&*…… (Go find King Ptolemy's Book of the Dead, my father...... )“
Batra didn't give Sun much time to study, urging him to follow her to King Ptolemy's tomb. However, in this dark and dark mausoleum, how to find it......
”……“
The wind whistled by, the dim silver light was extremely eye-catching, looking at the spear inserted in the stone wall, if Sun took another half step, his head would be able to splash his brain flower five meters away!
”*&&…… (Run, it's the Tomb Keeper!) )“
Batra spoke out, recalling Egypt's most mysterious, mighty, and loyal being, the age of the guardian of the pharaoh's tomb...... Tomb keepers!
Unable to care about it so much, Sun released all the strength in his body, and looking back, Batra's overdrawn physical strength obviously couldn't keep up, and a black shadow was moving rapidly, flying off the wall!
Just in front of the corridor of the mausoleum, a spear broke through the wind, and Sun Yi made a sharp turn, shifting the center of gravity of his body, and finally avoided it! And he didn't have a chance to pick up Batra......
”&…… (Monster...... Batra cursed, but her heart began to panic.
Batra ran as hard as she could, but it was less than a third of the speed of the Shadow. Due to distraction and anxiety, her foot was injured and she fell to the ground.
"Click......
"Click......
The footsteps are getting closer, clearer, heavier. Closer, closer......
Sun hid in a small culvert in the stone wall, turned on the stealth function of the camouflage uniform, and embedded the military dagger in his hand, because of nervousness, his eyes widened wide, and his pupils contracted even smaller......
At last I saw it, and the man ...... That monster! The head wears a lifelike eagle head mask, which covers the chest above, and the arms are very physically painted green with malachite. From the body shape, it can be seen from his strong chest and abs that he is a strong man, and his height is not inferior to William! Then, exposing the almost exploding biceps of his arm, he raised the spear high and then again......
Tremble in the balance!
The spear stabbed at Batra at great speed!
Suddenly!
