Chapter 129 Black Sun

I was woken up by the water.

I don't know when the drumming stopped. The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed to be frozen, and the sound of water droplets hitting metal could be vaguely heard in the distance.

Subconsciously, I took a deep breath, but I choked and coughed. My internal organs felt as if they had been crushed. I didn’t know how I managed to open the lid of the lead coffin just now with a strong force, but I was directly exposed to the radiation.

The end result is now like a rotten fish soaked in water.

I don’t know how long I passed out. I gritted my teeth and pushed myself up, leaning on the lead coffin that was wet and cold from the water. Only then could I barely alleviate the burning sensation flowing through my limbs.

Before I woke up from the coffin behind me, I had been with Ya Nuo, Xia Shangzhou and others, but what happened in the meantime seemed to be fragmented and I couldn’t remember it at all. If this space is indeed what I think

If there was a piece of radioactive ore in the material, then the person who put me in the lead coffin might even want to protect me.

But the fact that I was left alone was very problematic. If you were afraid that I would be radiated, why didn't you just take me with you instead of going to a lot of trouble to put me in a coffin? What's more, it didn't look like Arno and others left in a hurry.

, there were no signs of fight or escape around, and there was even a flashlight left shining steadily on the altar. Unless they were not the ones who put me in the coffin.

Speaking of altars, I had already seen them before I really woke up from the coffin. Looking back on the experience at that time, the touch of metal seemed to still stay on my hands. When I got used to it, the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

After feeling the burning pain of anger, I stood up holding the coffin. By some strange coincidence, I looked back before going to the altar to verify.

The flashlight on the ground did not illuminate the inside of the lead coffin. I didn't dare to move the only light source rashly now. Fortunately, I also had a similar flashlight in my equipment, so I took it out and took a general look at the situation of the lead coffin. I don't know.

Unexpectedly, there were no funerary objects inside, only a solitary lead pillow lying crookedly at the end of the coffin. It had to be like this, otherwise I would have caused a lot of damage to the cultural relics just now by banging around inside. I just breathed a sigh of relief.

, but felt something was wrong.

As I was in so much pain just now that I banged my head on the wall of the coffin countless times, I must have seen blood. But now there is no trace of blood in the coffin, and as I get closer and closer to the coffin seam,

The inscriptions emitting dazzling golden light were just ordinary carvings at this time. My hair suddenly stood up. I touched my body all over, but I couldn't find any wounds.

Could it be that what was in the coffin was all my imagination? But the pain was too real. No matter what I did, I wouldn't have a dream about being put in a frying pan.

Or maybe my blood did flow. I looked at the illuminated altar. Thinking of the words "Your Blood as a Sacrifice" in this temple and the golden inscriptions that will change when the book of the afterlife is rewritten, my heart skipped a beat.

, pulled out a dagger from his leggings and poked his index finger.

A drop of bright red blood came out.

My hanging heart relaxed a little. The blood of gods is golden. It seems that I did not become another species just because I was locked in a lead coffin and irradiated.

I wiped the blood on my pants casually, took out my flashlight and pointed it at the unilluminated area. There was nothing but darkness.

I don’t want to explore the unknown with the unknown yet, so I can only start with the altar first. And I always feel like there is something asking me to go forward and take a look.

I first checked the supplies on me. In addition to the flashlight, I also had a lot of the 279-round equipment with me. I also had the gloves and a pocket watch that A Tian made for me.

I didn't know how long I would stay in this place, so I turned off my flashlight to save resources and walked towards the altar by the light of the flashlight placed under the altar.

In front of the altar, there is a table placed on the back of a bronze bull, which is filled with various sacrifices. The exquisite and clear grapes are shining with an attractive luster, the golden ears of wheat reflect the light, and there is a plate of black sesame candy.

Why does this sesame candy look so familiar?

I took a closer look and saw what kind of sesame candy this was. It was clearly the iron ore I saw in the unknown temple underneath the archaeological site! And the bunch of grapes was made of various metals*, and the wheat ears were gold-plated.

Carved.

The ancient Egyptians did like to imitate natural creations, but this is the first time I have seen this.

But this reminds me that perhaps imitating nature is the construction concept here. Because walking from the lead coffin to the altar, I always feel that this space is "alive".

As I got closer and closer to the altar, I felt like the walls above, below, left and right were squeezing towards me. When I walked up the stone steps and came to the altar, I could see the Eye of Horus very close to me when I raised my head.

, and the inscriptions painted on the walls on both sides are not like the praises and blessings often found in temples, but instead are incantations full of fear, deeply embedded in the walls, as if they are afraid of being erased.

And the altar is stuck in the middle.

But there was no corpse trapped by the inscription and charm, nor was there a swaying fresh lotus. After walking up the steps, there was no corpse on the altar, which really made me breathe a sigh of relief. A scroll of papyrus stood on the altar.

It was placed open on the altar, with a string of heavy guardian talismans pressing on it. The so familiar and hateful words "Sacrifice with your blood" were engraved on the lotus petals of the altar.

A lead tablet stood in front of the altar, which was Set's sentence. There was also such a tablet in the abandoned temple that Li Yuan and I saw following the quicksand created by Apep.

Seth also appears on the mural directly behind the altar. The golden blood of the desert god rushes to a banyan tree. His bones are peeled off from the body and flew up the tree with the Bennu bird in its mouth. Behind this are densely packed banyan tree leaves.

The veins are like a weird smile.

Tick ​​tock.

Tick ​​tock.

I took my attention away from the evil mural, listened with bated breath to the sound of water, and followed the sound to the wall.

An almost black liquid gurgled from the dents dug into the wall, like blood that had dried up but was struggling to flow. The sound of water was the sound of "blood" falling on the ground.

But it's not right. What I heard was clearly the sound of liquid falling on metal, but this blood dripped on the stone ground. And the blood disappeared as soon as it fell to the ground, as if it was directly absorbed by the ground.

I couldn't help but frown, stood up and looked at the place again.

Although the altar does sit on a high platform, it is even lower than the lead coffin I crawled out of. In ancient Egypt, the builders of temples and tombs would consider the diversion of the Nile River, so they were basically in the same space.

The most important things will be in the relatively highest place.

That empty lead coffin can't be more important than the altar, right?

Even so, there is still something wrong.

I walked up to the altar again. The banyan tree in the mural behind it was covered with weird smiling faces. I endured my disgust and searched carefully, and sure enough I found an inconspicuous outline of a door on the trunk.

This is a false door that only appears in tombs. I was scared when Hassan and the others took them to the Valley of the Kings. There was also such a door on the wall that Li Yuan smashed with one punch.

It’s also considered standard.

I pursed my lips and reached for the door. It opened as soon as I touched it.

Inside is a clear and turbid ore that is full of contradictions but fits together. Is this the real [Eye of Eternity]? Is it the Maya piece, or is it the stone from Atlantis that imprisoned the storm?

No matter which one it is, as soon as I get close to it, I know that the magnetic field on this thing has not disappeared.

This door must be opened after a sacrifice is made.

But among the people left behind like me and Arno, no one's blood should be recognized. Unless. I reluctantly picked up the stone, walked down the steps and picked up the flashlight that had been shining diligently.

Could it be that it was Li Yuan and the others who were here just now, and the drum sound I heard was really a sacrifice?

I definitely don’t believe in ancient Egyptian mysteries, and that mummies can really come back to life. Besides, I’m already very nervous now, and I don’t want to scare myself anymore.

But what is coming now is definitely not the sound of drums, but more like the sound of footsteps. Very heavy footsteps.

The sound came from far to near, slow and tinny, which was very annoying.

It was silent all around, but my hearing was somehow good now, and I actually heard the sound of breaking ground in the dead silence. Then there was the sound of footsteps. The flashlight under the altar suddenly went out.

I crawled from the altar to the lead coffin and picked up the pillow. Sure enough, the lead pillow was empty. I stuffed the stone that was still burning me into it, picked up the pillow, and

Running towards the darkness.

At this time, blood had flowed all over the ground, and every step I took made the whole place tremble. From the turbid and broken mirror, I clearly saw a black sun.

Happy National Day everyone

Live a good life and build the motherland

Ancient Egypt actually had grape products made of metal.
