Yang Baiwen speculated that there should be a corridor behind each stone gate, and at the end of each corridor there should be a room, where will be the burial chamber of the pharaoh and family members. Eight corridors, plus the entryway, and the rooms at the end of the corridor, make up a labyrinth.

The room they are now in is supposed to be a liaison room, each of which can be reached through a gallery behind a stone door, a common layout of pyramids.

After discussion, they decided to explore the corridor due east first, and when the mechanism of the stone gate was pressed, with a piercing sound of friction, the stone gate began to rise slowly.

Everyone was overjoyed, they didn't expect these stone gates to still be used, so there was no need to bother.

At this moment, there was a "rustling" sound in the room, thin, but dense, like the sound of sand falling in the sky.

Sure enough, it was sand, falling from the top of the head.

They couldn't help but look up, and the moment everyone looked up, Yu Lie shouted: "Disperse!" ”

As Yu Lie threw Yang Baiwen down, a thick layer of sand fell from the top of the room, Yu Lie didn't have time to think about it, and rolled to the wall with Yang Baiwen in his arms, so that he was not covered by the sand.

"It's dangerous!"

Ye Dongming, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, and judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be frightened by the danger just now. And, as if he had foreseen the danger, he clung to the wall.

"Look up." Ye Dongming said lightly.

Everyone looked up in unison, and under the illumination of the "self-response lamp", Deng Shi was stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw a huge mural slowly appear on the vaulted top of the head, as if someone had stretched it out little by little, although the content of the mural was not very clear, but the characters and graphics in it were lifelike.

In the middle of the mural is a rectangular coffin, located in the east, south, west and north directions of the coffin, there are four statues, which are clearly the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology - Anubis. They guarded the coffin like slaves, as if waiting for their master to wake up.

Behind the statue of Anubis, there is a pyramid, but in the huge size of the idol, it looks much smaller. And at the back of the pyramid, there are small dots that look like simple human figures kneeling on the ground. And, further back, the smaller the dots, the countless slaves knelt down to worship their master in the coffin, perhaps even Pharaoh Zosel......

Seeing this scene, Yang Baiwen suddenly thought of the scene when his thinking had "leaped".

According to historical records, the Step Pyramid is the tomb of King Djoser of the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt and the earliest pyramid in Egypt. And its designer was none other than the man named Imhotep, who was called the "God of Wisdom" and achieved a position second only to King Zolser......

"Breathtaking!" Yang Baiwen couldn't help but admire, "It turns out that there is nothing here, but it is hidden, and in the coffin in the middle must be Pharaoh Zosel!" ”

Ye Dongming seemed to be thinking about it, and suddenly found that there was something very strange in the mural, a round of sun appeared at the top of each pyramid, emitting a dazzling light, so that the shadow under the statue of the god deeply covered the coffin in the middle.

"Professor Yang, have you seen the four pyramids?" He asked.

"See, the portrayal of myth in reality ......"

"What's the matter with the sun on the spire?"

Yang Baiwen took a closer look at the mural, and sure enough, he found the sun shining on the spire of the pyramid. He felt very strange that this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

"Is it the sun god?" Yang Baiwen muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Ye Dongming asked.

"It is intriguing that there was a sun god in ancient Egyptian mythology, but it never appeared behind the god of death......"

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe it's not the sun."

Although the question of the "sun" was not clarified, everyone agreed that it was Zosel in the coffin. Then we are not far from those missing chapters.

At this time, Yu Lie suddenly said, "Professor Yang, shall we go in now?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the stone gate that had been opened to the east.

"Okay." Yang Baiwen replied with confidence, "Maybe the truth is inside this door." ”

When everyone was about to enter the stone gate, Ye Dongming suddenly rushed to the door and said in a deep voice: "Wait, I think something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Lie asked, the expression on his face was very solemn, because he had always had an indescribable feeling for Ye Dongming.

"We've all seen it too, and the frescoes above our heads convey a clear meaning – the inner workings of this pyramid. Assuming that the coffin was lying in Zolser, it would have been in the middle of the mausoleum, as it is expressed on the frescoes. The most important funerary goods must have been with Pharaoh, so, to be exact, we just need to find the coffin. ”

"You're right," said Yu Lie, "but what does it have to do with us entering these doors?" The final destination of these doors should be the location of the coffin. ”

"Captain Yu, I don't mean to offend," Ye Dongming patiently explained, "Think about it, why do you want to set up so many stone gates?" ”

"Naturally, it's to confuse the tomb robbers." Yu Lie smiled, "Or someone like us." ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of person it is, but our purpose is the same—to find the Pharaoh, but what if there is no place behind these stone doors that leads to the coffin, but one trap after another? Are we all going to have to try it again? ”

Yu Lie was silent, thinking that what he said made some sense. However, this kind of thing cannot be succeeded by speculation alone, and action is still necessary.

"And what do you mean?" Yang Baiwen suddenly asked Ye Dongming.

Ye Dongming looked at the mural above his head, then looked at the entire space, and finally his eyes stayed on the stone platform in the middle.

"You mean going down from here?" Yu Lie asked suspiciously.

"Well, I'm not sure." Ye Dongming pondered and said, "However, I think the chances are better than trying them one by one. Perhaps, it is also safer. ”

When Yu Lie heard what he said, he also began to ponder. For him, safety is the most important thing, and after those previous tragedies, he is not willing to lose anyone again.

"You have to say it, you need to verify it." After Yu Lie finished speaking, he began to study the stone platform in the middle.

Although Yang Baiwen is very fanatical, he still pays attention to personal safety, and only by living can he solve this mystery.

"Well, I hope it's as you say."

......

Half an hour later, Yu Lie said with a gloomy face: "I have checked, this stone platform is solid. ”

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, it is impossible to go down from the stone platform.

"But, Captain Yu, don't you think this stone platform looks very ...... Is it abrupt? Ye Dongming asked rhetorically.

"It's a little, but it's thousands of years old, and no one can say what kind of regulations it complies with."

Yang Baiwen's face was full of loss, and it seemed that he had given up on this plan.

"Captain Yu, can you blow it up?"

"What?" Yu Lie looked at Ye Dongming with surprise on his face, he didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Yu Lie glanced at Yang Baiwen, then looked at the surrounding environment, and then said slowly: "The structure here is very simple, there are no superfluous objects, if the amount of explosives is well controlled, it should be fine." ”

"I thought I could give it a try." Ye Dongming said this sentence without hesitation, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to find out.

"Professor Yang, what do you think?" Yu Lie threw the final decision to Yang Baiwen.

Yang Baiwen stared at the mural above his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, so he said loudly: "Scientific research requires a spirit of adventure, let alone this kind of thing, bomb!" ”

When the explosives were placed, everyone retreated to a distance of fifty meters in the corridor. One is for the momentum of the multi-meter shock wave, and the other is to avoid being buried by the collapsed corridor.

When Yu Lie pressed the button of the blasting equipment, with a loud "boom", the whole room was filled with dust, and a strong shock wave was impacted in the corridor. Fortunately, however, there was no collapse.

When they came to the room, a large hole appeared in the place where the stone platform had been, and it was dark and bottomless.

Everyone couldn't help cheering and admiring Ye Dongming's wisdom.

"Dongming, how did you come to think that this is the main passage?" Yu Lie couldn't help but ask, his face still seemed to be grateful.

"Hehe, I can't tell, probably that mural inspired me." Ye Dongming said humbly and glanced up, and the expression on his face immediately froze.

Yang Baiwen noticed the abnormality and hurriedly looked up, only to find that the top of the vault was empty, and the mural just now was gone.

Someone immediately shouted: "Where has the mural gone!" ”

"What's going on?"

"How strange!"

Yu Lie was also puzzled, it was obviously still there just now, but it disappeared after the explosion, could it be that the shock wave generated by the explosion was too strong and shattered the mural? He wanted to ask Yang Baiwen and Ye Dongming questions, but after seeing the expressions of the two, he dispelled this idea.

"It may have been caused by an explosion," Yu Lie said, "but let's go down and find out!" ”

"Okay."

Yu Lie casually threw down a flare, and the dazzling light illuminated the hole under the stone platform, and the stone wall was smooth and flat, about thirty or forty meters deep.

The group slowly descended by the climbing equipment, and when they descended to ten meters, they suddenly found a huge statue, deeply embedded in the stone wall, so it could not be seen from above.

However, the statue is incomplete, with only a head, only half of the face protruding, and the ears are partially hidden in the stone wall. The statue's eyes are closed, but its mouth is wide open enough to accommodate two adults.

More than ten meters later, a complete huge statue slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The statue is in the form of a bird-headed human body, with round eyes and a long, pointed beak, but no ears. Its hands are long, palms upward.

Ye Dongming was shocked, took the electric light and observed it carefully, sighing at the wisdom of the ancients, how could such a huge statue be carved.

"Professor Yang, is there anything to say about this statue?" Yu Lie couldn't help but ask Yang Baiwen.

"I think it's supposed to be a statue of the sun god."

After speaking, Yang Baiwen slowly fell to the waist of the statue, carefully looked at the stone wall inside, and sure enough, he found a line of ancient Egyptian characters.

"Sun God – La Harahuti." When Yang Baiwen saw these lines, he blurted out, and even he felt incredible, "How can there be a statue of the sun god in Zosel's mausoleum, it's too strange." ”
