Chapter 8 The Ladder to the Underworld
"What's wrong?" Qin Ge leaned forward, his eyes suddenly widened, "What a miracle..."
Liu Dan tied Sun Ting's sheepskin into shape to the whole sheepskin, and the Hafra pyramid on it turned out to be inverted!
"What's going on?" Qin Ge was puzzled, "Inverted Pyramid?"
"This is... this is not the pyramid of Havra! This is the pyramid of Dedevra! The ladder leading to the underworld!" Liu Dan exclaimed, "The pyramid is considered by the Egyptians to be a ladder leading to the sky! The Pharaoh believed that after death, he could rush into the sky through the pyramid..." Liu Dan's tone was a little rapid, and even could not organize the coherent words for a while.
"I'll tell you!" Qin Ge's sutra was a man who had experienced great storms and waves, and he had seen many unexpected things. "If Pharaoh wanted to go to heaven, the pyramid would be built on the ground and as a ladder to climb upwards; if Phara wanted to go to the ground, the pyramid would be built upside down and as a ladder to enter the ground! If Dedevra was the son of Anubis, he would definitely return to hell after his death! So his pyramid was an inverted pyramid, and it was built underground, right?"
"Yes! Yes! I want to say this!" Liu Dan kept nodding, "And, according to the text records on this sheepskin, the pyramid of Dedevra is just below the city of Alango! The internal structure is exactly the same as the pyramid of Hafra, but it is upside down, and..."
"And what?" Qin Ge asked.
"And, according to the proportions drawn on the sheepskin, the inverted pyramid of Devra in this generation is at least twice the size of the Havra pyramid, and even more!"
"There are words in the box!" Alxun, who was checking the box, suddenly shouted, "There are words in the lid, Adan, what do you mean?"
"The person who disturbed Pharaoh's peace brought the terrible curse here, and the evil Oseris came here... His head would calm the pharaoh's anger, and the curse would become history..." Liu Dan translated word by word, and at the end he cursed, "I don't quite understand this sentence. This scroll-shaped text probably means written records. This word is put together with the curse, and the curse is in front and the scroll is behind. The meaning may be that the curse will become history, or that some manuscripts have attracted evil curse..."
After the translation, the local individual looked at the sheepskin in Liu Dan's hand at the same time, "Girl... If your second guess is true... this thing... is probably an evil thing..."
"Ah!" Liu Dan screamed and threw the sheepskin on the ground, "Liu...Mr. Liu...Don't scare me..."
"I won't scare you..." Old Liu picked up the sheepskin and patted the sand on it, "I have long suspected this thing! When Brother Ai led out that shadow, I doubted!"
"This tomb robber dares to live in such a good house in the city..." Alxun picked up the head in the box and looked at it, "It's weird, Adan... How many years has this city been in modern times?"
"It's about three thousand years old, there's no exact record, only legends, what's wrong?"
"Three thousand years, there is no such a big gap, and it's better to have no evolution?" Alxun was even more strange. "Adan, I don't understand biology, but I understand the structure of the human body. Look at this person's head, why does a hole grow in the head?"
"Hmm?" Liu Dan lowered his head, picked up his head, and found that there was indeed a strange hole behind the skull, with a diameter of about the same as a bullet, and the four walls of the hole were very smooth. "Will this hole be... the cause of his death? What was hit?"
"Impossible!" Alxun took his head and looked at it again, "Although I am not a forensic doctor, after all, I have been working in the police for so many years, this hole cannot be injured by a blunt weapon. And logically speaking, this person should have died of beheading, because there is no need to beat him to death first and then behead..."
"The cause of this person's death is not important!" Qin Ge thought for a while, "Don't waste time here. Since Alango is below, Mr. Liu, I think the entrance to the passage you and Axun discovered may be the entrance. I think we need to take a look!"
"Okay... Master Qin, you command..." Old Liu left the house listlessly. Liu Dan struggled for a long time in his mind. Although he was afraid, the only person who could understand the sheepskin map was himself. He had to tremblely pick up the small piece of sheepskin that Sun Ting had removed and followed the team out of the house.
In a spacious room, Alxun and Qin Ge knocked open a large stone slab bit by bit with crowbars. The sand around the stone slab had obvious traces of being dug. Needless to say, it must have been done by Sun Ting and others. There was a dark hole under the stone slab. If this was really a hole robber, then the hidden skills and professionalism of the Egyptian tomb robbers are much better than that of the Chinese tomb robbers. In order to rob the tomb, they actually bought a large house in the city for cover. The hole was dug quite spaciously, with a diameter of less than one meter, which seemed to be quite deep. If this project volume was borne by one person, it would take a few months.
Alxun took out a signal gun from his bag, shot into the hole with a bang, and a flare headed straight to the bottom of the hole, about 40 meters deep, and the flare landed on the ground.
"Adan, how many years did Dedevra stand in power before this city of Alango?" Al asked.
"It's about one thousand to one thousand five hundred years, what's wrong?"
"How did you think that tomb robber find it? There is a city on the ground and sand on the ground. How could he know that there are graves dozens of meters deep underground?" Alxun was really convinced by these ancient people at this moment.
"Tomb robbers are historians, even more professional than us!" Liu Dan said helplessly, "Sometimes they look for graves, not relying on surface characteristics, but looking for clues from historical documents, and even relying on clues from other graves to follow the clues... There are many things that we all feel inferior to..."
"Yes, they have to do scientific research, right?" Old Liu was excited...
"I'll get off first, Professor Qin, please see my signal!" Alxun fixed the rope, put on the gas mask, turned on the security of the submachine gun, and went down the hole along the rope.
"Wait!" Old Liu took out a small box from his cloth bag, took out a piece of jade pendant with a bad appearance and hung it on Alxun's neck, "Go down! I feel something is wrong, so break the jade pendant in half!"
"Yeah!" Alxun nodded and began to climb down the rope.
"Mr. Liu, I hope you bring this!" Qin Ge stuffed a pistol to Lao Liu, "In this way, open the insurance, aim at the target, and pick the trigger, do you understand?"
"Oh, Mr. Qin, you didn't suffer enough last time!" Old Liu pulled out the dragon scales, "If you really have time to play with gunshots (a children's toy gun that was popular in the 1980s, with gunpowder inside it, which can make noises, but without any lethality, it will easily hurt the player himself). You won't think about making a real guy! It's much more useful than your thing!"
"It's not that I don't want to..." Qin Ge sighed, "This thing is really hard to come by..."
"Axun said there was no danger!" Liu Dan looked down at the cave, and saw Alxun waved his flashlight and signaling that he could go down.
Old Liutou, Liu Dan, and Qin Ge followed the rope to the bottom of the hole one by one.
The temperature underground was much lower than that on the ground, and Liu Dan was so cold that he sneezed. Turn on the flashlight, and a typical ancient Egyptian tomb passage that was going downhill appeared in front of him. The tomb passage was full of murals and reliefs. The front of the tomb passage was pitch black, and it was hard to see how long it was. This made Qin Ge think of the treasure cave in Bashan that year.
"That's right..." Liu Dan stroked the mural on the wall of the tomb passage, "This is the entrance of the pyramid. The tomb robber was indeed not simple, and he was not digging it wrong at all... Following here, it will be divided into two passages, one to the tomb chamber of the pharaoh and the other to the queen's tomb chamber. The main tomb passage and the passage to the two tomb chambers are roughly 'f'. These two tomb chambers are generally closed, but the pyramid on the ground will have ventilation channels and contact the outside world. I don't know how this underground pyramid solves the ventilation problem, and there is no record of whether there is a queen in Dedevra!"
"What are we going to do?" Old Liu suddenly spoke for no reason.
"Save Young Master Sun!" Qin Ge was a little anxious, thinking that Old Liu was too unreasonable, and he didn't even make such a joke!
"How to save?" Old Liu was not in a hurry.
"This..." Qin Ge didn't say anything for a while. Yes, the place was found, the reason was found, and he was confused, but he didn't know what to do.
"Even the fellow villagers of their own country in Egypt have disappeared. Now we are blind, how can we save them?" Old Liu asked Qin Ge with a frown on his head and frowned.
"We can blow up this pyramid! I brought at least one kilogram of explosives here, which can at least destroy the Pharaoh's tomb chamber!" Alxun began to come up with bad ideas.
"No! This is a historical site, how can it be destroyed? We will become historical sinners!" Liu Dan strongly opposed.
"Don't even make a noise!" Qin Ge's mind was messy at this time, "Even if this kind of thing exploded, it may not solve the problem... Mr. Liu..., I want to ask you, how did you crack the curse of the deformed baby in the treasure cave in Bashan?"
"First, Bashan is a descending technique, not a curse; second, that was solved for a moment, and it could not be solved for a lifetime, and did not come back to life in the end? Third, there was a treasure jade turtle at that time, but now there is no, fourth... fourth... Anyway, this is a completely different thing!" Old Liu was also depressed. He didn't know who the enemy was now. Except for Alxun who had no water, it was basically very smooth and he didn't encounter any so-called curse. Everyone was normal. Even if they wanted to save people, where would they save them...
At this moment, Alxun suddenly fired a gun and shot a shuttle of bullets deep in the dark tomb passage, which scared Liu Dan to almost faint on the ground.
"What's going on!?" Old Liu and Qin Ge each picked up the guys.
"This time I read it right..." Alxun gritted his teeth, "There is definitely someone!"
"There is a situation!" Old Liu took out the compass and found that the pointer turned a lot, but stopped moving. "This thing in Egypt is so weird. It seems that it can hide its yin energy... It seems that the plate will react only when it moves..."
