Chapter 38: Deception
"Cemetery?" asked Sora suspiciously, Wang Lung nodded and continued: "Yes, it is a cemetery, which is the burial of the body of the pharaoh or king of the dynasty at that time, accompanied by a large number of funerary goods and mummies. ”
He asked, "Mummy, I know, isn't that all that in Egypt?"
Wang Lung shook his head and continued: "It can't be said that there are mummies in only the Egyptian pyramids, and there are also in other places, but there are few pitiful, no mummies have been found in this pyramid, even if there are only the giant dings, the surrounding gold and jewelry may have been made by Ao Qing's predecessors, or Atlantis was already rich and laid it by itself, and Ao Qing's predecessors just took it for themselves." ”
Nodding his head, he asked, "If the pyramid is a cemetery as you said, where is the burial place?"
Wang Lung shook his head helplessly and said: "The place and means of burying the corpse are different, after all, the body of the pharaoh or the king is extremely precious, and the residents of the dynasty dare not steal, but after a long time, who dares to guarantee that there will be no thieves in their cemetery, as the saying goes, there are three caves of cunning rabbits, not to mention those big people, they are afraid of being disturbed after death, fake coffins and suspicious graves are everywhere, even if the pyramid is built, its real body may not exist in it, it may be stored in another place at the bottom of the pyramid, or other places are possible." ”
He nodded and asked, "Even if it is not stored in the pyramid, at least it must be faked, and with the status of pharaoh or king, his residence after death should be more luxurious." ”
Wang Lung nodded and said: "Maybe there is this possibility, but so far no one dares to make this guarantee, just take this pyramid as an example, I suspect that it is not a cemetery at all." ”
Sora asked, "What do you say?"
"The architectural style here is different from the Egyptian pyramids, there are no coffins and too many carvings, and in the Egyptian pyramids, the mural text is everywhere, and most of them describe the life and deeds of the tomb owner. But there is basically no here, and when I see Juding, I feel that this is not a cemetery, more like a place of worship, or a so-called temple. ”
The two brothers bowed their heads in contemplation. For a moment, the two of them looked up at the giant ding, obviously not agreeing with what Wang Lung said.
Wang Lung continued: "Let's not discuss these for now, this pyramid appeared in Atlantis, which is not known how many thousands of years earlier than the Egyptian pyramid, and there is no comparison between the two, besides, with the ability of Ao Qing's predecessors, even if she doesn't care, it is impossible for her to occupy a cemetery as a cave. It's a bit of a bad thing. ”
This statement was recognized by the two brothers, although they were cultivators, but they would not do such a thing as transforming someone else's cemetery into a cave mansion anyway, even if Ao Qing's cultivation reached the merger period, he didn't care about the obscurity, and he wouldn't mess around.
It can be ruled out that the pyramids are not necropolis, but their role is still unknown. If Wang Lung really guessed correctly, it was the so-called temple. There must be a place of worship, and the space they are in now is not small, not like the place of worship.
After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Xiaolong, how big is the pyramid?"
Wang Lung pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, there are big and small. The small one occupies an area of only a dozen zhang, and the large one is about the same as this pyramid. ”
He nodded and continued to ask, "How many entrances do the pyramids have, where are they all opened?"
Wang Lung shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily, if the pyramids of Egypt are exposed on the surface. There are usually two entrances, one at the bottom and one in the middle, but the middle one is very small, like a vent. ”
After listening to Wang Long, he fell into deep thought, but he looked at the pond with his eyes, and after a while, he said: "Xiaolong, is it possible that we are not at the bottom of the pyramid, but only in the middle, this pyramid is several layers, and there is no passage to the top, so we can only go down." ”
Wang Lung nodded and said: "It is possible, this pyramid has been detected by the earth's sonar system, it is rumored that the height is sixty and the width is eight thousand, which is also what we see from the outside, I thought at the beginning that this pyramid is not as it seems on the surface, in fact, it is actually larger, maybe there is more space to be buried under the sea." ”
"There is no way into the heavens, there is a door to the earth......" As soon as Wang Lung finished speaking, he heard the empty space on the side suddenly speak.
Hearing what Kong said, Wang Lung's eyes were attracted by the other party, and he looked at Kong suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, he smiled and said, "There was originally a passage here, but we all misunderstood it at the beginning. ”
"Where?" asked, and Wang Lung suddenly said, "You said the passage under the pond." ”
He nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, at first, we all thought it was used to fill the pond with water, but in fact, there is a huge space under it. ”
Wang Lung was puzzled and asked, "How do you know the Dao, didn't you say that the divine consciousness in the pyramid cannot be separated from the body?"
Likong's face turned red, and he coughed lightly and said: "When I first came in, I didn't find anything just now, so I wanted to see if I could release my divine sense, but I didn't expect that there was no restriction here, maybe Ao Qing's predecessors didn't set up a ban here." ”
Wang Lung sighed, glared at the empty side, and quickly changed the topic: "Since you know that it is a passage, why are you still stunned, let's leave quickly." ”
Wang Lung smiled slightly, did not refute, turned around and walked towards the pond.
The pond is not big, the water is not deep, but after jumping down, it is cold to the bone, even with the strength of Wang Lung's body, he can't help but shiver, and the three of them go down the bottom channel of the pond one after the other.
Wang Lung didn't think about checking the safety of the pond and passage again, and then thought about it, it was purely superfluous, and he had seen it with his divine sense, and if there was danger, he would have reminded himself a long time ago.
As for the empty saying that the divine consciousness can be released temporarily, Wang Lung doesn't care if it's true or not, even if the two of them have something to hide from themselves, Wang Lung doesn't plan to investigate deeply, he entered the pyramid and is ready to be abused by Ao Qing, instead of asking this and that, be prepared, it is better to let Ao Qing beat him up generously, maybe he can have good luck, after meeting, the other party may change his mind.
Follow the passage to go down three meters, start to turn left, after traveling more than ten zhang, go down three meters, and then turn right and then go down.
I thought I would have to go downstream for a while, but I didn't expect it. But it was already at the end, Wang Lung didn't pay attention, an upside-down onion, fell straight to the ground, fortunately he was agile, and the distance below was more than three zhang. After landing on the ground, he had adjusted his posture and stood on the ground steadily, even if he couldn't react, it didn't matter, there was water all around, and with his descending speed, he couldn't fall to the ground at all.
Standing still, Wang Lung raised his eyes and looked around, and in an instant, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he asked sideways: "This is the big space you are talking about?"
It's a big space. It's better to say that it's a reservoir, the distance between the front and back is only ten meters, and it's half smaller than the pond above.
He smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and pointed behind Wang Lung and said, "There's a switch there, and you'll know it when you turn it on." ”
Wang Lung gave the other party a blank look. He didn't answer, and walked straight in the direction that Sora was pointing.
Sure enough, as the empty said. It's just that this switch is a little special, Wang Lung didn't think it was a switch at first sight, because there are such things all around, one on each wall, saying that it looks like a dragon's head, but it doesn't look like it. But it only grew a horn.
Wang Lung didn't guess too much, reached out and grabbed an iron ring in the mouth of the object, and pulled it gently, only to see that the stone wall in front of him slowly began to sink from above, and the entire space was full of water. But there was no water pouring down at the opening of the stone wall, and I was shocked.
When the stone wall sank to reveal a space of about one meter, it stopped by itself, Wang Lung rose by the buoyancy of the water, and looked out on the stone wall, only to see a dark passage appear in his eyes.
Wang Lung looked back at the sky, saw that the other party nodded to him, and didn't think about it, and turned over directly.
The passage is straight, the height is the same as the cistern behind him, but the width is only one meter, only allowing one person to walk alone, Wang Lung took three steps forward, waiting for a brother and two to come, but more than a minute passed, he never heard a sound behind him, looking back, there was no trace of the two brothers, even the stone wall had been completely closed.
Wang Lung frowned slightly, could it be that Likong and Ao Qing teamed up to deceive themselves? No, they are just followers, they don't participate in their own training, and they won't disappear for no reason.
Wang Lung walked into the stone wall, stretched out his hand and clapped and shouted: "One, empty ......"
Only the sound of slapping on the stone wall echoed in his ears, but he couldn't hear the echo of the two brothers, Wang Lung pondered for a moment, and then stopped paying attention, not that he was unkind, but suddenly remembered that he had encountered this kind of thing himself.
That was when he was looking for Mo Tianlong, and when he entered the underground world, he separated from the two brothers, and only after the most Lu did they meet in the Mo Tianlong Cave Mansion.
I'm afraid this time it's the same as last time, even if it's different, the two brothers should be fine, they don't dare to say that they are invincible on the earth, and if they want to find something that can hurt them, I'm afraid it's very difficult, at least Ao Qing won't embarrass them, there's nothing to worry about.
After figuring it out, Wang Lung turned around and looked at the passage in front of him, where there was no seawater pouring in, no gold and jewelry embellishment, and the cyan granite stone was polished very smooth.
Wang Lung's eyes turned, seeing that there was nothing unusual, he raised his right leg and kicked the wall behind him, but there was still no response from the two brothers, and he walked slowly towards the depths of the passage without delay.
When Wang Lung walked away, the two brothers climbed over the stone wall and entered the passage.
glanced at the passage in front of him, turned around and asked, "It's not okay, let Xiaolong go by himself." ”
He shook his head and said, "What's this, anyway, the experience is just for Xiaolong, and the two of us are just followers." ”
"But ......" As soon as he wanted to continue, he interjected: "Don't worry, Xiaolong will definitely think that the two of us were taken away by Ao Qing's seniors, we will quietly follow him, and it will not be too late to reappear at the right time." ”
He frowned and asked, "Is this okay?" Didn't you say that the guy was unfathomable, and if he fought with Xiaolong, we would definitely be affected by Boji. ”
In fact, what the empty said to Wang Lung was not wrong, but the content of what he said was not complete, when the empty released his divine sense, after discovering this place, he met a person, that person's cultivation was unfathomable, and with a cold snort, he blasted the empty divine consciousness back.
The man was dressed as an old man, he had never seen it, he was somewhat similar to a human being, but it was a little different, and he was too frightened at that time to see it at all, and after hurriedly retracting his divine sense, he told him what he had found and transmitted the sound with his divine sense.
Likong said: "Who that person is, I don't know the way, at least it's not Ao Qing's predecessor himself, his cultivation is unfathomable, if he wants to be unfavorable to us, he would have taken action a long time ago, otherwise just scare away my divine sense, wouldn't it make us have defense." ”
I just wanted to speak, but I saw that his expression immediately withered, drowsy, and fell to the ground for a moment.
Wang Lung behind him didn't know that he was close to the end of the passage at this time, and when he saw that the light in front of him was still dazzling, his heart was a little calm.
Walking out of the passage, Wang Lung's eyes suddenly lit up, this place is a hall, its area is much larger than the place just now, it is still paved with gold, embellished with precious stones, the only difference is that this place looks particularly empty.
There are no stone pillars to support, no stone fence statues, just like the ruined city hall, but there are all kinds of murals on the top of the head, and after a closer look, Wang Lung has confirmed that this pyramid is indeed a temple.
Because the mural above the head shows, there are all kinds of miracles and worshippers worship and other contents, the characters are very vivid, lifelike, when the eyes turn, the mural is like a living thing doing all kinds of movements, look, feel like the snake carving that I have seen before.
Wang Lung could not admire the skill of the skilled craftsmen of ancient Atlantis, and fixed his eyes on the opposite wall, where there was a stone door, but it was closed, and that stone door was different from the others, without gold and precious stones, and seemed to be passable.
Turning his gaze, Wang Lung looked at the sides and the left and right walls on his side, which were similar to the other rooms, there were passages on all four walls, all sides were closed, embellished with gold and precious stones, only the opposite side was not decorated, but it was completely closed.
Wang Lung couldn't figure it out, seeing that there was nothing unusual around, he raised his feet and walked towards the stone gate opposite, but before he took two steps, there was a clicking sound behind him, and he was shocked, and immediately looked back, only to see that the passage behind him had closed by itself.
