Chapter 52: Holding to death

From the canyon, a giant trapezoidal pyramid with a sharp point and a pillar of heaven appears in view.

Svek thought he had seen heaven, or a fairyland.

Lofty, gorgeous, magnificent, desolate and rich.

The top of the pyramid, connected to the deep blue sky.

The base of the pyramid is square, with a flat arc in the east and west directions, and a stone staircase about four meters wide on the north and south sides.

At the end of the thin line, a white mist swirls up and down between the majestic walls of the temple and the empty sky, making people feel that there are no more cracks in the miracle of life and the passage of time.

How tall this pyramid is, Sveck visually does not differ much from the tallest in Egypt, the Pyramid of Khufu.

The Pyramid of Khufu is 137.2 meters high and 230 meters long at the base, and is made of 2.3 million stones with an average of 2.5 tons each.

However, there are serious discrepancies in Schveck's estimates, and the pyramid he saw would not have been more than 110 meters high.

The reason for such an error is that the one in front of me is too slender.

The top of the temple's sword peak, like a sword, presents a delicate and shocking silhouette under the reflection of the sun.

Sveker suddenly thought of the American Washington Memorial Tower, and the behemoth in front of him was a magnificent structure between the Egyptian pyramids and the Washington Memorial Tower.

When he came to the pyramid, he saw words on the boulder, many words, but he couldn't understand a single word.

Svecker was shocked by the stone steps of the pyramid, almost straight up and down.

"Beech, you're saying that the scroll is hidden in the temple at the top of the pyramid?"

"Of course yes, didn't we see that temple in the canyon?"

"Are you sure it's a temple up there?"

Satsuma helped: "It should be, it should be, it's too high, and we can't see it very clearly." ”

"How did you find here? ”

"The dead dog brought us here, and after we passed through the canyon, we found Tribe X, and we are coming in now, in the opposite direction. ”

Svek found that his head was a little dizzy, which was the dizziness caused by watching the altitude for a long time. 、

Svek rubbed his eyes: "It's so sharp, why hasn't it collapsed, can you climb up?"

Beechcraft: "I'm fine, Satsuma, what about you?"

"Beechcraft, don't keep squeezing me. ”

Svek made a gesture, 1. Let's go!move !

When three people climb up, they can only climb up with their backs on their backs, using all four feet together, and they must not stand upright.

The stone steps are too steep.

After climbing more than 30 meters, Sveck felt that there were strong cramps in his legs.

This is a stone staircase that people climb?

Thirty meters up, Svek wanted to say, let's go down, fuck the scroll.

But Svecker can't be so cowardly.

Beechcraft was already trembling, and Svek could clearly see that his legs were trembling.

From the top down, any angle is a daunting cliff.

Moreover, the higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes, and when you are on the ground, you don't feel the wind, but when you come up, you don't know where the wind is blowing.

In such a steep place, there are no fixed points to grasp, there is no protection, and if you are not careful, you will be blown down by the wind.

"Boss, if not, let's not go up. How do I feel so cold. ”

Satsuma couldn't stand it at first.

Beechcraft is not wrong, climbing the mountain pyramid, for no reason, it is cold up there.

Svek stiffened: "It's more than half of the climb, up!"

He tried not to look down, and he didn't dare to look, if he did, he was afraid that his legs and stomach would cramp.

Finally, they climbed to the top of the pyramid.

",,....."

From the time he was more than seventy meters old, Beach began to scold, nothing else, just damn mother's scolding.

And Satsuma didn't say a word, and when he reached the top, the whole person was soft.

At the top of the pyramid was a small platform, on which a strange circular pattern was carved, and in the center of the pattern there was a smiling, looking up at the sky, with black eyes like agate.

The pupils of the black eyes are large, occupying almost one-third of the area of the platform, and the whole eye is not at all proportionate, Svecker feels that the fantasy pupils are like a portal to the unknown world.

The temple is just behind this eye.

Regrettably, as the most important soul center of the temple, it was like a war, dozens of huge stone statues were in tatters, with stumps and legs scattered all over the ground, and the dignity and light of the gods were devoured and destroyed here as if they were a dying firefly.

The blue-gray stone slabs in the temple are full of shocking cracks, some of which can put down one of people's feet, and from a distance, it looks like a huge and dilapidated spider web. The frescoes on the walls of the temple, the text, are also mottled and blurred, as if they had been painted by a lame, drunken painter with a thin picture of inferior colored fish.

Who built the temple group, who worships the temple in it, and who serves the idol here.

The miracle is completely gone.

The only one with the breath of life in the temple, a weed, it grew silently in a crack in a small corner of the temple, it was as weak as a bean sprout, taking advantage of the rising sun and the light that went straight into the temple, it tried to grasp a little.

Standing on the steps of the temple's awe-inspiring 10,000-ton stone gate, and looking at the canyon again, devotion rose from Sveker's heart.

Should I pray, and to whomever I pray, pray to life.

Svek folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the canyon.

"Boss, what were you doing?"

"I'm speaking to the gods, look for it, find the scroll, hurry up, we have to go down." ”

Beechcraft was very disappointed.

"There shouldn't be any scrolls here, it's all in tatters. ”

It's all up, whether there is it or not, just look carefully.

As Beach said, they were busy in vain, they didn't find their lives, and they wasted so much effort.

"I'm sorry, boss. ”

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Just as they were about to leave, a stone slab in one corner of the temple was much higher than the others.

He stepped forward and stomped twice with his foot, and there was an echo.

"It's empty down there, helper. ”

This slate is at least fifty centimeters thick, nearly one and a half meters long and wide, and it took some effort for the three of them to break it apart with such a heavy slate.

"I'll go!"

All three were taken aback.

It was a square stone pit, and in the pit lay a skeleton, and on the skeleton's chest, there was a thing, an iron box.

"Boss, can you say that this person should have been holding this box before he died. ”

Svek nodded: "The hero sees the same thing, what do I think, you say, is there a scroll in the box?"

When he saw this box, Sveek had a bottom in his heart, this box was very imaginary with the box containing the first scroll, and it was not rusty, and the chains were almost similar.

Beach's eyes glowed green: "I don't want it to be a scroll right now, to hell with the scroll, I want a box of diamonds." ”

Satsuma: "I hope so, I bet, it's diamonds, you see this man is holding it before he dies." ”

Sveker: "So what are you waiting for, use a hammer, smash it open, and see if it's a diamond treasure or a scroll." ”

Beechcraft untied the sledgehammer from his back, spit into his palm twice, and with a hey, the lock of the box fell.

Open the box, and it was the scroll lying down.

Beechcraft and Satsuma were disappointed, but managed to find a second scroll.

Opening the scroll, Svek was dumbfounded, no text, blank, is this a scroll?
