Chapter 134: The Sphinx's Mystery
"No, no, it can't be." Toth didn't seem to believe it, she looked at Xia Lian, "This must be your illusion!" ”
"Thoth." Horus spoke slowly, "I trust him. ”
Toth looked at Horus.
"Didn't you see the brilliance just now?" Horus muttered softly.
Toth had a slight look of surprise on his face, "Isn't that your divine power?" ”
"I was gouged out of my left eye, which symbolizes the moon, not during the day, how could I have unleashed such a powerful explosion." Horus said.
Toth stared at Xia Lian, "You're not human?" ”
Xia Lian shrugged his shoulders, "It's not impossible if you think so. ”
Toth fell silent, he knew about the existence of extraterrestrial life, and Apophis was from outside the territorial, so she was quick to accept it.
After a moment, she bowed her head to Xia Lian and said, "I apologize for what I just said.
I hope you understand, after all, we can't afford to go wrong right now.
This was Horus's only chance to get the win.
If she loses, then Egypt may really be under the tyrannical rule of Seth. ”
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, and teased: "You are similar to the god in my impression."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry, if it were me, I would do the same.
Moreover, I am not so stingy either. ”
"Your quantity matches your territory." Toth praised.
Xia Lian looked at Toth, who was completely different from the face just now, a little speechless for a while.
"Where's the two-sided crown?" Horus asked.
"Inside the pyramid that Orisis has built for himself, however, there is a problem, in it, there is a Sphinx.
】
Her claws are enough to tear us all apart. ”
"Sphinx, is that the Sphinx?" Xia Lian asked.
Thoth's jaw.
"You are the god of wisdom, and you should be able to answer the riddles it presents, right?"
"Remove the should, because this word is an insult to me." Toth said confidently.
Horus smiled, "I believe in you. ”
He looked at Xia Lian, "Do you want to come with us?" ”
"Of course, the tomb of the first pharaoh of Egypt is not accessible at any time." Xia Lian said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, my father didn't get in." Horus said in a low voice.
Shalian raised his hand, and a map of Egypt appeared in front of them.
"Now, mark the location."
Almost without hesitation, Toth stepped forward and clicked a location on the map.
It's close to here.
So Charlen kept the base moving at full speed, while Toth began to heal Horus's eyes using the potion he had brought.
With the powerful power of the moonlight in the potion, the lost eye was slowly growing at a rate that was almost visible to the naked eye.
By the time his eyes were almost recovered, the base car had almost reached its destination.
Pyramid of Orisis.
It was a giant pyramid hidden in the secret realm of the rainforest.
Unlike the dilapidated pyramids that Charlen saw in the 21st century, this one is spectacular.
It has a metallic texture and many strange patterns on it, like a building left by aliens, and the civilization built by the gods using the fifth element has its own advanced nature.
The pharaohs of Egypt took death very seriously, and before they died, they would start building pyramids and putting important things in them.
Of course, only these gods are built in the pyramid now, and it seems that this can be closer to the god Ra.
Horus stepped forward, and the pyramid seemed to sense the blood of the descendants of Orisse, and the stone of the pyramid slowly opened to one side, revealing a passage.
Xia Lian and the others entered the passage.
Entering the pyramid was fairly straightforward, perhaps because there was a powerful monster stationed inside, so there were no too difficult traps to design.
The Sphinx in the mouths of Horus and others is a monster with corresponding legends in Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology.
It has magical powers, and she will ask any intruder a puzzle.
As long as it can be solved, the Sphinx will disappear, and if it can't be solved, the Sphinx will bring death.
But looking at the jealous looks of Horus and Toth, if they can't be answered, this Sphinx should get some kind of power bonus, to the point where the gods are afraid.
It's normal to think about it, after all, it's guarding the pharaoh's tomb, if the strength is not strong, how can you keep the pharaoh's treasure.
They entered the depths of the tomb, where there were many metal obelisks and walls of metal structure, and energy followed the lines on these metal walls.
"Where's the monster?"
Toth asked, putting his hands behind his back and raising his head slightly, as if he had already won the battle.
As its words fell, the ground around them began to shake, and the obelisk began to radiate light, finally condensing in their path.
Gradually, a translucent beast slowly appeared in front of them, its body was huge, several stories high, with a lion-like body, a human face, and a pair of wings.
It wears the classic hair ornament of the Egyptian pharaoh on its head.
It slowly opened its eyes and glanced at the crowd.
"Intruder, you have entered the forbidden land, and now, you have to answer one of my riddles, and if you can solve it, I will let you go.
If you can't answer it, you're going to pay with your lives....."
Toth put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows, "But it doesn't hurt to say that." ”
The Sphinx stared at Toth, "You're.... Thoth, the god of wisdom, right? It's a very rare guest.
You have all the knowledge of Egypt in your head, so I'm not going to ask you questions about it. ”
It raised its hand, and the light condensed into two men, and behind them, the metal wall began to change, revealing two paths.
"There are two paths, one that leads to the inside of the tomb and the other that leads to death....
And there are two people here, one who can only tell the truth, and the other who can only tell lies.
You need to find the right path by asking. ”
"That's it?" Toth was slightly dismissive, "I only need to ask three sentences to get an answer." ”
The Sphinx slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "I can only ask one sentence." ”
Toth frowned slightly.
"Interesting...."
"My time is limited." The Sphinx raised its hand, revealing its sharp claws, "I've never killed a god....."
Horus couldn't help but look at Toth, "Toth, you can do it, right?" ”
"Don't worry, let me think." Toth was lost in thought.
But just as she was thinking, Xia Lian slowly walked towards one of them and pointed at the other person.
"Will he tell me...."
Xia Lian pointed to one of the paths.
"The right way?"
The man looked at Xia Lian's finger, then at the road, shook his head, and said.
"No, it won't."
Xia Lian raised his hand and looked at the Sphinx, pointing to the path he had just pointed.
"It's the right path."
"Xia Lian!" Horus shouted anxiously, "Toth hasn't spoken yet, why did you answer yourself!?" ”
Then, she looked at Toth, and saw that she was looking at Xia Lian in a slightly distracted manner.
"There was a kind of wonder in his eyes, and.... Frustration. ”
As Horus was stunned, the Sphinx let out a roar.
"Damn it, human! Who allowed you to answer!
!? ”
But with this roar, the Sphinx disappeared without a trace, and the other road was closed, replaced by the one pointed by Xia Lian.
Horus didn't react for a moment, and she looked at Toth.
"Thoth, here we are, answered correctly?"
Toth didn't answer, just walked in silently, without saying a word.
How could Horus not know at this moment that they had succeeded.
Her face was beaming, and she followed behind Toth with Xia Lian.
Walking on the promenade, Horus asked Xia Lian curiously.
"How did you guess?"
Xia Lian had heard this question in the past, but he really didn't know how to answer it.
No matter how smart a person is, he needs a certain amount of time to think about a problem, and the same is true for Toth.
And it just so happened that Xia Lian had a lot of time, he returned to the future, thought about it for a while, and then returned to this era.
So it seems that Xia Lian solved this problem almost instantly.
Xia Lian smiled and began to explain his logic.
"It's a simple logic question.
Let's assume that A is telling the truth and B is lying.
I pointed to a path, pointed to A, and asked, "Will B tell me that this path is correct?"
Suppose that the path I am pointing to is correct, how would Person A answer? ”
Horus thought for a moment, "B is a lie and won't tell you that the path is right, so A will say B won't."
"So what if I'm asking B the same question?"
"A is telling the truth and will tell you that the path is right, but B is telling a lie, and he will answer you A will not."
"yes, so whether I ask A or B, as long as the path is correct, they will answer no."
"However, I still don't understand." Horus frowned, "You don't know if the path is right?" ”
"Same logic." Thoth, who was walking in front, explained, "If the road is not right, and it is A who asks, B is a lie, and will tell you that the path is correct, so A will say that B will."
If it is B who asks, A is telling the truth and will not tell you that the path is right, but B is false, so B will say that A will.
If the road is wrong, both A and B will answer yes.
So, the other way is the right one.
Whether the inquiry is telling the truth or telling a lie, whether the path is correct or incorrect.
The point is on affirmation and negation, if it is a positive answer, then go the opposite way, if it is a negative answer, then go the path that is pointed out. ”
Horus's head was not very bright, and he brushed it for a while, but finally gave up.
He nodded.
"Awesome."
The tunnel is deep and has many twists and turns, but fortunately there are no particularly dangerous traps or anything like that.
Soon, they were in a more spacious space.
This is supposed to be a square.
In the middle stands a metal obelisk.
The shape of the obelisk is in the shape of a pointed square column, which gradually shrinks from the bottom to the top, and the top is shaped like a pyramid spire, and the spire is often wrapped in gold.
The upper hole refracted the sunlight to the tip of the stele, and it shone like a dazzling sun.
The inverted image of the tip of the stele points like a pointer to Egyptian time below.
The most striking thing is the ajar door facing them, which is supposed to be the main burial chamber of Orisis, which also houses the treasures of Orisis.
Horus's breathing path stalled, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.
But the next moment.
"Boom!"
A spear from nowhere was thrown from one side, and Horus reacted quickly, raising his hand to resist, but was thrown directly to the wall on one side by a huge force, making a dull sound.
The walls were dented slightly, and Horus slipped off them in pain.
She looked at the people, and for a moment, all of them were breathing a little stagnant.
It was a middle-aged man with short hair, dressed in Egyptian-style armor and armed with a spear, looking like a valiant warrior, with a sharp murderous aura in her eyes, as if she was hiding thousands of troops.
"Seth....." Horus called out the man's name with a little difficulty.
As her words fell, around Seth, a group of bull-headed and crocodile-headed soldiers slowly appeared, surrounding them.
"Thank you for bringing me here, my lovely nephew." Seth laughed, but his tone sounded weird, "It seems that my choice to let you go is the right one, and the dog will automatically go to find the bones." ”
Seth looked at Toth, "Thank you also to our Egyptian knowledge base, Lord God of Wisdom, for solving the mystery of the Sphinx and allowing us to enter here." ”
"How did you know about this place?" Toth looked at Seth and spoke.
"You're smart, Toth." "But wisdom also makes you too conceited.
The tomb of Orisses was built for more than a hundred years, and although few people know its exact location, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and it is not difficult to find it.
The royal power is not in the palace, so it is almost impossible to think about it, it must be in this place.
The things you left behind in the Millennium Tree that confuse our vision are seductive and real.
But what did I do wrong to make you think that I was the kind of fool who had no courage and no strategy, and would be played around by you? ”
Seth walked over to Horus and looked at her condescendingly, "You're as stupid as your father. ”
Xia Lian looked at Horus, and then at Seth, his face slightly strange.
Because at this moment, neither these gods nor the soldiers brought by Seth had their eyes on him.
It seems that he, a human being, is almost a dispensable ant to them, and it is not worth mentioning at all.
He silently turned on and came to optical stealth, and as expected, they didn't notice that there was one person missing here.
"What arrogance." Xia Lian muttered softly.
He looked at the half-open tomb, "But that's exactly what I want....."
