Chapter 143: The Black Ancient Book
Because of the busyness of searching for underground ruins during the day, Manda's eyes were full of bloodshots, but he was very excited, and looked around the space and said excitedly: "The underground palace of the capital of the dead...... Legend has it that there are countless treasures buried, and I think we should be the first people to enter here in the past 3,000 years. ”
"This place stinks." Soldier Robben said dissatisfied.
"Treasure, you must find Pharaoh's treasure!"
The black Tamu's excited lips were trembling, the last time the purpose was to find the treasure, but the team was wiped out, this time if he can enter the underground palace and find the pharaoh's treasure in the capital of the dead, he will not have to worry for the rest of his life.
Those mirrors are placed in a specific position and the angle is adjusted, and the light is refracted layer by layer, illuminating the front.
"Oh God...... No, I should praise the God of Amun! ”
Manda put on a pair of glasses and carefully stroked a stone platform next to her, probing the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs engraved on it: "Death is the beginning of a new life...... This life is short, but the next life is eternal...... This is supposed to be the place to mummify......"
"Perhaps, Seti I, the mummy, the richest emperor in Egyptian history, was made here, and I am so lucky to see such a monument."
"Mummifying?"
Although he listened to Lin Meng's explanation of this world, after all, he was from another world, and he had lost his original memory, Zhao Xin was still a little curious.
"It is to take out all the internal organs of the dead, fill them with special antiseptic spices, and wrap them in layers of white cloth...... Those internal organs are placed inside the urn for preservation, as for the brain. Use an iron hook to reach through the nostrils, insert it into the head and stir it, stir the brain slightly, and pull it out vigorously. ”
Manda's words. With vivid gestures, Zhao Xin's complexion became unnatural.
After inspecting this vast stone chamber for a few minutes, everyone lit torches and walked towards the depths of this ruin, Manda's excited mouth kept chattering: "Since the underground palace really exists, the Sun Golden Sutra must also exist!" The legend is true, let's go to the location at the foot of the Death Statue to find out! ”
Walking along the narrow passage, the group quickly arrived at a stone chamber. In front of it are the legs and pedestal of the statue sticking out of the ground.
"This is it!"
Manda cheered, the archaeologists' craze for monuments, and the ordinary people's quest for treasure. He excitedly lay on the surface carved with exquisite patterns, and the black statue stone platform kept groping, tapping a few times, and heard the echo from the stone slab. He exclaimed, "It's empty inside!" ”
"At the feet of the statue of the Grim Reaper. This location is a hollow secret compartment, the Golden Sutra of the Sun! Haha......ha Quick, Tam, Robben, let's pry open this gap! ”
Lin Meng hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him: "Wait, Seti I is not a stupid person, and there are mechanisms in many pyramids. Where the Golden Sutra of the Sun is placed, it is impossible for people to easily get the book in their hands......"
As if to confirm this sentence. A strange sound came from nowhere, causing everyone's faces to change drastically, and at this time, the terrifying legends about the capital of the dead and those mysterious curses welled up in their minds, and Manda's fanatical head calmed down:
"Yes, there may be some trap here! You can't open it so rashly. ”
As long as you have watched the movie, you will understand that the middle of the statue is not a golden scripture of the sun, but a black scripture of the dead! The Sun Golden Sutra is placed deeper in the underground palace, at the foot of a sun god statue, and the Black Sutra of the Undead at the feet of the god of death is of course dangerous.
First, when the compartment under the statue is opened, corrosive acid is sprayed from it, and several of the excavators in the film die in the acid spray.
Second, the Black Sutra of the Undead, if you open the box where the Black Sutra of the Undead is placed, you will be cursed...... After resurrecting with the spell on the Black Book of the Dead, Immorton will chase after those who have been cursed to open the chest, suck their flesh and restore their original flesh.
Third, there is a compartment under this statue, and in fact, there is a sarcophagus hidden, and the one locked in the coffin is the infatuated old monster Immorton who has been in love for more than 3,000 years.
Whether it is the Black Sutra of the Dead or the sarcophagus that Immorton accommodated, it can be said that it is a hot potato.
At this time, the archaeologist Manda translated a small line of handwriting on the surface of the statue: "The place of the dead shall not be desecrated", and his face became even paler.
"Get out of the way, let me come!"
Even if the body resistance is extremely high, the recovery power is extremely strong, and the resistance of the blood clan physique to abnormal states, Lin Meng didn't want to use his body to try the strong acid, he took out the compound gun from the brand space, and after loading, he shot it on the base of the statue.
There was a bang, stones and dust flew around, and the surface slabs were blasted through, and at the same time, a large stream of liquid was violently sprayed out from the inside.
The liquid fell to the ground, and there was a harsh corrosive sound of "stinging, stinging, stinging", Manda, Robben, and Tamu all looked at the ground with frightened faces, if the three of them had gone to pry the slate before, I was afraid that under this liquid, they would have turned into corpse smoke.
When the smoke cleared and there was no danger, three Egyptians rushed up and carefully pulled out a box, a stone box in the style of ancient Egypt, from the small compartment that had been blown up. The box has a very distinctive light red color with black stripes on it, and the stripes are also engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
In addition to a large amount of text on the side of the stone box, there is also a beautiful golden guard pattern.
"Whoever opens this box will not escape death."
Groping for the pictographs on the surface of the box, the archaeologist Manda, read the words directly, and the words just fell out of nowhere, as if in the distant darkness, and in the ears, there was a hissing wail like the whispering of the undead.
The sudden appearance of the anomaly made everyone look into the distance in panic, and when the movement in the darkness disappeared, the archaeologist continued to chant in horror:
"As soon as this box is opened, the resentful spirits that were originally closed by the holy law will break the curse and return to the world, it will kill all the people who opened the box, take their internal organs and blood, and regenerate them by the law, and turn from the cursed resentful spirits into the god of death who destroyed Egypt!"
The curse-like horror text made the faces of the three Egyptians not look good, but Manda, as an archaeologist, often went to the tomb and was very bold, and the legendary Golden Sutra of the Sun also filled this guy's heart with a desire to explore.
The guide Tamu and the soldier Robben next to him, at this time, were completely occupied by the idea of making a fortune, they didn't care about how much hidden value the Sun Golden Sutra had, and only valued one thing: the Sun Golden Sutra, which is said to be a gold book made of pure gold!
Seeing these three guys, ready to open the box, Lin Meng's face flashed a trace of hesitation.
But as if he had made up his mind, his hesitation quickly turned into a panicked expression, and he shouted: "No, don't open it, there is a curse on it, and you will die when you open it!" ”
While exclaiming, he pulled Ye Ying and Zhao Xin and left the stone room as if he were running away. Lin Meng knew that the three of them would not listen to him, but he still comforted himself in his heart: "Yes, I reminded them that if they still insist on opening the box, this is looking for death, and they can't blame me." ”
In fact, Lin Meng brought these three assistants, in addition to leading the way, there are other purposes.
If you want to get the Black Sutra of the Undead, it is impossible not to pay a few cursed lives, and at the same time as opening the wooden box, the fate of the cursed person is linked to Immorton, who will find them after being resurrected, seize organs and absorb flesh and blood, and complete the real rebirth!
Of course, Lin Meng will not open it by himself, nor will he let Ye Ying open it, after Zhao Xin dies, he can be reborn with the help of the effect of summoning skills. But the flesh and blood of the summoned beast is useless, and even if it can be resurrected, Zhao Xin, as a person around him, is far more important than several NPCs in the world of the plot.
These three people are the assistants who helped come to the capital of the dead and enter the ruins, and they are also the sacrifices that Lin Meng had booked in advance to get the Black Sutra of the Undead......
Seeing Lin Meng and the three of them fleeing, Manda, Robben, and Tamu looked at each other, and the black man spit out a sentence "A nobleman is a nobleman, and the timid are like a girl", and pouted disdainfully. The other two responded a few times, then cheered each other on and opened the stone box.
A stream of white gas rushed directly from it, enveloping the three of them and quickly disappearing, so the curse of death wrapped around the three of them, and wherever they went, they would be sensed by the awakened Immorton.
I felt a strange feeling at the sudden air flow just now, but since nothing happened, the three of them became bold again. Inside the box was a fine linen cloth that had turned yellow after an unknown amount of time, and something was wrapped in it.
Manda reached out and opened the yellow linen cloth, revealing a laptop-sized, pure black, with the coat of arms of a family of three representing Anubis, the god of death, Seth, the god of the dead, and Nephthys, the guardian of the dead.
The intricate patterns and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs make this book look like it has gone through endless years of precipitation, but also has a special atmosphere of death and dark mystery.
"Oh my God, oh my God......"
Manda trembled and stretched out her hand, holding up the strange and heavy ancient book that was obviously full metal - both the cover and the pages were unknown black metal, and seeing his appearance, Robben, the soldier next to him, asked strangely, "Is there anything special about this book?" ”
"Of course ......"
"But what about our wealth?" The black man Tamu now doesn't care about anything else at all, just wants to get enough wealth to get rid of the stolen goods, and then leave Egypt with a lot of money and live the life of a rich man.
"This book is priceless!" Manda was still excited.
"I don't want a broken book for me."
The black man continued to grope for the stone box, opening a partition on the side of the box, revealing some fine vials. These vials are decorated with gold stripes, with a human head, an owl's head, an eagle's head, a sheep's head, and a lion's head, representing the five Egyptian gods: Amun, Best, Horus, Knum, and Mit!
