Chapter 32 The Eternity of the Gods

With Meng Weiqing taking the lead, we rushed to the Valley of the Kings as soon as we came out of the dance party. But going to the cemetery in the dark and windy month did not seem like something a serious team would do.

After getting along with Meng Weiqing and others, I gradually figured out some rules for personnel allocation. Han Jiangxue and Guangyu should be technical support, basically not involved in field work. Chang Xiao has been missing except for the first dinner party. Ruiya

The existence of her is quite special. I don’t know her position other than her ability to make money yet. She didn’t act with us this time. Li Yuan had been hanging out with Yano and the others at the banquet, but before departure, he still went to 279.

car.

Master Xie's car slid smoothly into the night.

Lou Shiqi said a few words about his expectations for tonight's action and fell asleep next to me. Most of the remaining members closed their eyes and rested. Except for Meng Weiqing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, he would talk to Xie Xiangfeng from time to time.

I probably said these few words because I was afraid of falling asleep while driving. Li Yuan sat in front of me and stared at the flowing darkness outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Whether it was meeting Sir Black that day, or Arno's party earlier, including Rhea's appearance, everything seemed to go too easily. I was just carried along, without any sense of participation at all. Many thoughts were in

My mind was wandering, but I had no intention of thinking at all, and fell asleep soon after.

Master Xie drove directly to the west valley of the Valley of the Kings. Most tourists visit the east valley, where most of the tombs of emperors and nobles are. The west valley is not open to the public because it is still being excavated; and the other is because of the Egyptian officials.

He is quite casual and made the place as messy as a tomb robbery site even though it was an excavation work.

But even so, under the moonlight in Egypt, there is quite a sigh that "this moon once shone on the ancients".

The moon is round and wane, just like things in this world. In ancient Egypt, people were afraid of the night, just like they were afraid of inevitable death. So a unique view of life and death was born here. Those who were the first to gaze at the sun were the first to think

Those who were the first to face death and be the enemy of time carved out their thoughts on the laws of nature, leaving a legacy embodying ancient wisdom for future generations.

We now gaze upon this legacy of fear.

You can always feel the rise and fall of the spectacular ruins. The huge stone statues are covered with starlight, and darkness surrounds us.

The team walked silently, as if they were walking into the unknown, into the death of Egypt. Fortunately, there are no dead in this Valley of the Dead, and even if there were, they would not be more alive than us.

It was like an immersive experience of ancient Egyptian civilization. With this kind of self-comfort, I followed them into the dark night as quiet as death.

After walking a few steps, I met an acquaintance.

Arnold and the others arrived here before us, and we don’t know whether it was an agreement or whether they all reached the same destination by different routes. Compared to 279, which is full of people with only single digits, the other party looks more like they want to fight a big fight.

Needless to say, Arnold, Alex, the team leader who I met, Morgan, and the tattooed archaeologist Buswell were all not absent. The Japanese I just met at the banquet also had a conversation with Lord Black.

Huan's two white men were also there. It was true as Rhea said, Arnold had formed a United Nations.

What surprised me was that the boy who ate and drank so much at the banquet was actually a member of Arnold's team. Isn't child labor considered a violation of the law now?

In addition to these people I have an impression of, there are about a dozen men and women who wandered the cemetery into Fifth Avenue without seeing anyone. One of them, a curly-haired woman, looked familiar to me. Later, when she rushed towards the pillar excitedly, I thought

It turns out that this is indeed a fanatical French archaeologist, I think her name is Jacqueline.

That is to say, these people didn't do anything wrong, otherwise they would really look like tomb robbers who wanted Egyptian treasures.

After the greetings, the atmosphere was a little chilled by the desert night wind. The team leaders on both sides were not the ones who liked to beat around the bush, so everyone went straight to the goal.

Naturally, there are no street lights in the Valley of the Kings. Our behavior was probably not very bright. After entering the valley, we met several Egyptians who were responsible for guarding it. The French female scholar said something in the past and pointed at us and the United Nations people.

, and then motioned to continue walking in.

When passing by the Egyptians, there was a dull vigilance on their faces.

The deeper you go into the Valley of the Kings, the quieter and more eerie you feel.

I don’t know where Meng Weiqing is going, and I’m not even sure if he has any idea. Jiang Can happens to be walking next to me this time, and he is in charge of the rear. He is the most active person in 279 besides He Rongchuan.

.

He Rongchuan was not far in front of us and whispered: "Coming to the Valley of the Kings in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of running into something?"

Lou Shiqi stiffened upon hearing this, slightly curled his neck and leaned towards him unconsciously.

Jiang Can then spoke: "Kawako, are you okay? You went to college for nothing. We are all good atheistic socialist young people. What is there to be afraid of?"

I couldn't help fanning the flames and said: "To be honest, archeology is not that dangerous. It's so dark and windy this night that I really should have done my fortune-telling before coming."

Jiang Can heard what I said and snorted: "Come on, if you hadn't come with us, you wouldn't have been tricked to death by those people so many times." He raised his head forward, with sharp edges and corners.

The chin is pointed directly at the United Nations team.

I thought to myself, if I hadn't followed you, I would have fallen asleep in the morning. Who would want to run to the cemetery? I am a serious archaeologist, and I am being led to violate laws and disciplines. I will never mess around again if I tell you.

Already.

However, Jiang Can has now pointed his finger at the United Nations team. He probably remembered the exchange of humiliation with those foreigners just now, and he cursed in a low voice: "It's because of these foreigners that this trip will be more embarrassing."

.”

When I heard the inside story, my ears perked up. "Are they playing dirty tricks?"

"I don't know if it's fun or not, maybe it's not that time yet. But because of them, we learned English before we came here and it was useless, and we have completely forgotten all the lessons we learned. If you want me to say it, just say it directly

Just do what you have to do, there is no need to talk nonsense with those foreigners." Jiang Can cursed sincerely, it seems that this special attack on English has left a deep shadow on him.

Lou Shiqi, who had been walking quietly next to He Rongchuan in front, turned around and nodded fiercely in agreement. Jiang Can became more energetic when he saw someone responding positively. After a lot of bitterness, the conversation changed.

He continued: "Although we are unlucky, you haven't seen Meng Weiqing when he was learning English. Although he was once a college student, that was decades ago. When the superiors checked our learning progress, he was actually better than anyone else.

Panic."

Gossip is indeed a common feature of human beings. Even Ding Ze, who looked calm, joined us, and He Rongchuan slowed down early in the morning and waited to hear the follow-up.

"I've also heard that Meng Weiqing was not like this before." As soon as Ding Ze started, Jiang Can couldn't wait to catch up: "No. Don't think he looks like a dog now, but he used to have a prick in the head. A lot of beatings.”

I couldn't help but look at Meng Weiqing's back in the darkness. Although I didn't have much contact with him, every time I saw him, I felt that he was hiding a lot. I really couldn't tell that there was still something in this man.

Lou Shiqi was a little reserved when getting along with them, but now he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know so clearly?"

Jiang Can tilted his thumb outward and pointed forward: "Although we have not seen that time, there are people who have worked with him for many years."

Everyone moved forward to pay attention in unison.

Meng Weiqing seemed to have heard someone talking about him behind his back and looked back.

This glance made us calm down and walk seriously on our own.

Teacher Bai gently reminded from the side: "Weiqing, watch the road and don't fall again."

When everyone is paying attention to your past embarrassing things, only those who have witnessed you making a fool of yourself will care about whether you will contribute to the conversation again.

I followed 279 all the way to the ruins of an abandoned burial temple.

Meng Weiqing went to negotiate with Morgan for a few words, and the two of them listened to what the French Egyptologist Jacqueline said, and came back and told us: "This should be the [Temple of all Knowing] that Sir Blake said. .”

I didn't expect that such a place existed and that it was so easy to find.

The West Valley of the Valley of the Kings is different from the East Valley where most pharaohs and nobles are buried. There are actually no major tombs here. It was my first time here, and I didn’t expect to see an out-of-time burial temple.

If I insist that this is one of the two temples mentioned in the Temple of Horus, I don’t think it is particularly convincing. But Arno’s team and 279 people gathered around them, and I don’t know what there is to taste. of.

The things on the ground are not very attractive, and I don't want to get involved with them. I have nothing to do but look up at the sky.

The cold half moon hung over the Valley of the Kings, showing a bit of sharp brightness. Since there were no clouds, a bright light was always enough.

It was already past 11 o'clock at night, and I was already starting to feel sleepy after following the archaeological team's regular schedule. Lou Shiqi, who also went to bed early and got up early during the archaeological team, was quite energetic. Maybe the team leader was there before we left. Just praise him for that one meal.

Although Li Yuan has been acting casually, he is unambiguous on business matters. And he is probably the most concerned about this, after all, it is closely related to his life.

The members of the two teams each received their tasks from the team leader, and started a battle to carve up the ruined ancient Egyptian temple. However, the temple was only small, and with so many great monks coming, there must be some overlap in personnel. So there was inevitably some overlap. Everyone has me among you, and you among me.

As a marginalized person, I was not assigned any work. So while the gang was learning to explore in the temple, I picked up a stone block and sat in a daze. Arno had nothing to do, so he gave some directions and then sat down. Come to my side.

I glanced at him sideways.

Arno rarely performed impromptu this time. He just looked at the temple and said expectantly: "When Yuechen and the others find clues, we can see the ending."

Arnold is really a difficult person to understand. I originally thought this guy was full of evil and good at dancing, but I didn't expect that he has such an innocent side. Doesn't he know that Lord Black is actually the same as 279, and

There must be more to it than just looking at a bunch of broken pillars tonight, right?

According to the records recorded by Lord Black's uncle sixty years ago, this year should be the same as that time, and there will be an unusual celestial phenomenon. But Lord Black refused to say what it was exactly. I feel tired thinking about the riddles he played.

This Sir Black is like the sweeper who pretends to be a passerby in the game. With the information he revealed, our group went to the graves of other people and dug up them.

The place where Arno and I sat was not far or close to the main army, and we could just see the ant-like figures in the moonlight. However, everyone was immersed in their work, and the occasional conversations were swallowed up by the lifeless ruins of the walls.

.Looking at it this way, it really feels like a ridiculous pantomime.

Since I didn't fully approve of this mobilization of troops, I didn't respond to Arnaud, and he quietly kept his mouth shut.

So the two of us were like two salted fishes, sitting together on the waste rocks and basking in the moon.

A swallow suddenly slipped out of the night and circled low above our heads. It must have been a little guy who only slept in the tomb of the Pharaoh.

Arnold chuckled. "Yu, this swallow flew from England just like you."

I ignored him.

He raised his head again and said to the swallows hovering above his head: "It was us who woke you up. I'm really sorry."

Is this guy acting Disney? I snorted in my heart. If you really disturbed something, you should go and apologize to Pharaoh.

But this swallow was very considerate to Arnold and specially avoided it on his head.

Arno seemed very happy. He raised his head, looked at the swallow with his blue eyes, and said patiently and softly: "But I can't give you these eyes yet."

The swallow was also evil, as if it understood, it flew into the temple wiping his curly hair.

I looked at the busy temple team and said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to let this couple recruit, you can also give it a few gold leaves first."

Arno didn't expect that I would answer the call, so he was stunned for a moment and turned his head.

At this time, clouds happened to appear, and the sky suddenly became dark.

Because it was a stealthy operation, neither team dared to turn on the lights blatantly. After the moon was blocked by clouds, everyone melted into the darkness. Even if they were very close, I couldn't see Arno's expression.

I only heard him say: "Then I have to keep my heart made of lead."

Clouds are rare in Egypt. This is why the ancient Egyptians, who respected all things natural, worshiped gods such as the sun god, moon god, air god, and river god, but few people mentioned the cloud god.

But when the clouds appeared, Liang'er was blocked, and a chill suddenly came over her.

Arno was called away by Morgan, and low noises were heard from the temple.

The wind started blowing in the valley, but I couldn't hear it very clearly. It sounded vaguely like there was something wrong. It didn't seem like the temple they were looking for.

But no matter what, it has nothing to do with me. Even if I came to the Valley of the Kings with 279 now, I really don’t want to be associated with people who desecrate the resting place of the ancients, so I just stayed where I was.

But now that the moon is covered and the wind blows, it's quite permeable. In addition, the stone under my butt is still absorbing the little heat I have.

I couldn't sit still anymore and was ready to get up and walk.

Unexpectedly, my mouth was covered as soon as I stood up.

I didn't react at first. After all, in the Valley of the Kings, except for our group, there can't be anyone who can move. Could it be that these people disturbed someone when they were studying here? Or is this Professor Black?

Are you talking about [vision]?

My heart suddenly jumped up. But then I felt like something was breathing on the back of my neck, and I could also feel the warmth of whatever it was behind me.

This couldn't be some pharaoh or noble who had his corpse raised.

It's good to know that he is a human being. I feel half relieved.

People always have their own agenda and can negotiate terms and prices. In addition, the person who appears here at this moment is probably not a kind person. He is probably also thinking about the secrets hidden in the Valley of the Kings.

Although I am following a group of people who are desperate for their lives, after all, they come from a society governed by the rule of law. I thought that if I yelled, they would not be able to ignore me until I die.

However, this situation is not very optimistic. No one will enjoy the situation where others are killed and others are killed.

I didn’t feel anything irritating my waist. It wasn’t like in the movie where a cold feeling on the back of my waist would make my other half feel relieved.

The person behind me probably didn't want to hurt me. It was like he had to cover me but didn't want to make me uncomfortable, so he didn't press it tightly as if he meant it. He also politely didn't press close to me.

I felt there was a way out, and just as I was about to break free, I heard someone whispering not far away:

"Yu, it's me."

That was Ali's voice.
