Chapter 37 The Temple of Resurrection

The ruins of the temple were covered with moonlight, giving it a somewhat holy feel, but it also looked a little lonely.

The strange thing is that the bright moon hangs low above your head, but the darkness in front of you is so thick that you can't walk in. The moonlight is too stingy, only lighting up the temple, and the outlines of the people around you want to blend into the night.

Teacher Bai sighed and said: "It seems that the Egyptians were right. What is recorded in the zodiac chart is actually true."

After that, he asked us to look at the stars around the moon.

Lou Shiqi let out a sigh. "That's strange. Why is the moon out but the stars are still bright?"

This is true. Generally speaking, the best time to see stars is during the new moon, because the moon is not too bright. But now the quarter moon is extremely bright, and the stars in the sky have not been robbed of much brilliance.

At this moment, Li Yuan spoke up: "Look, there is a star to the southwest of the moon. It is in Jingsu, in front of Canis Major. It should have been where Sirius should be."

I haven't done much research on constellations, and I can't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south, so I just looked up and looked around in the sky.

Teacher Bai immediately understood what Li Yuan was talking about. He said, "Could this be Sirius β? It seems that Sirius is the only star affected by this full moon."

I subconsciously asked: "Which Sirius is divided into β and α?"

I only know that Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and was very important in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptian calendar and the rise and fall of the Nile River also refer to the trajectory of Sirius, and there is also a legend between the goddess Isis and Sirius. Now Sirius is dark

When it came down, the stars were so bright that they could compete with the bright moon.

Li Yuan explained to me: "Sirius α is a very typical blue dwarf star. Although it is not as bright as the moon, it is still bright enough, which is why we can see it. But Sirius β is a white dwarf star, which is generally invisible to the naked eye. And in

In the orbit of the binary star system, Sirius β will basically be covered by the light of α, making it basically impossible to be seen."

Now he has become Li Yuan who does astronomical research. He is quite professional.

But this is strange. The brightest star Sirius α can no longer be seen, but Sirius β, which has been suppressed by its light, emerges.

"Is it possible that Sirius β is the tenth star in the zodiac?" Li Yuan asked uncertainly.

"So the ancient Egyptians saw this celestial phenomenon and recorded this pattern on the top of the temple?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt something was wrong.

The ancient Egyptian star catalog was used as a guide for the deceased to return to the world. How could it be possible to choose an erratic star as the tenth star? That would be equivalent to sending it away without intending to take it back.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "I'm thinking now why Bruce mentioned this 'faint star'. I didn't notice that Sirius was missing just now."

Teacher Bai held the same opinion: "In the situation just now, it cannot be ruled out that he said this to appease Carl and others."

Yes, celestial phenomena are one thing now, but that is the job of astronomers. What is the connection between this celestial phenomenon and the curse passed down by ancient Egyptian priests is the key point.

Carl and others had just emerged from the ground at this moment, and they didn’t know what they were doing below. Under Bruce’s guidance, after they saw the shadow star of Sirius, the atmosphere suddenly changed from a confrontation to another.

A feeling of tightness.

Everyone looked at the irreversible darkness and did not dare to act rashly. However, Hassan and others headed towards the temple wrapped in the moonlight.

As he passed me, Hassan said: "Yu, go to the temple."

I looked in the direction of Meng Weiqing in the darkness. He had been silent since he came up from the underground. Hassan and the others melted into the thick ink-like night, and Morgan, Carl and others were a little hesitant.

Meng Weiqing said at this time: "Let's go."

He ignored Karl Morgan and the others and walked directly in front. He did not forget to warn: "You two, follow Lao Bai and watch your steps."

Meng Weiqing said it as if in this darkness where everyone is treated equally, we can't see it, but Teacher Bai can see it.

Teacher Bai patted my shoulder and followed me.

This road is different from the one Hassan and the others took me on. The road is smoother and closer to the temple.

When we arrived at the ruins of the temple, He Rongchuan's sharp eyes saw us first. The first thing he said when he came up was: "Comrade Wang is back."

I said: "Congratulations to brother."

At this time, Xia Shangzhou came over. She tightened the collar of my coat for me and said, "It's okay."

I smiled at her, and then Meng Weiqing asked: "What happened here just now?"

"You're still talking about it." Jiang Can's voice came, "You all left as soon as you said you would leave. We don't know anything here and can only follow these people around. And they are also evil. After a while, the lights will turn on.

They were all gone. It was useless to use a flashlight, and my eyes were completely dark. Then suddenly the moon rose, and then the temple became weird."

I looked around and roughly understood what Jiang Can meant by "weird". I had just come in and talked to them, and didn't pay attention to the temple itself. Now I just think it's really weird.

A gentle description.

This dilapidated temple seems to have come to life. The fallen and scattered stones have returned to the pillars, and the color has changed from gray to bright. The entire building feels like it has been rebuilt before your eyes.

It's history in the making.

It's not that I've ever seen a complete ancient Egyptian temple. But if there was such a well-preserved one, then I guess it would be like this.

I couldn't help but reach out my hand, wanting to touch the painted stone brick wall. Just when I felt the coolness of the wall was about to touch my palm, my wrist was suddenly held by someone.

"Don't touch it yet."

I turned around subconsciously and looked into a pair of dark eyes that reflected the starlight.

Li Yuan shook his head.

I came back to my senses and turned to look at the wall that was calling me silently.

There are exquisite murals floating on it, all depicting a sun god ceremony during the period of Thutmose III.

The feeling just now was very familiar. In the multi-column hall of Karnak Temple, I was immersed in strange scenes twice without realizing it. Even before I touched the murals, I was already fascinated.

If Li Yuan hadn't grabbed me, I might have drowned here today if I had touched him.

I thanked Li Yuan and then looked into his eyes: "Did you also feel something that day at Karnak Temple?"

Li Yuan's eyes didn't dodge: "The feeling here is a bit similar to that day. Let's not touch these things first, otherwise we don't know what will happen."

Sure enough, something actually happened after Li Yuan touched the stone pillar that day. But why was he able to leave the pillar on his own? Is it possible that this guy can still watch on-demand in the ancient Egyptian theater?

Putting aside these doubts, I nodded and agreed with his proposal. To be honest, I really didn’t want to get sucked into a certain episode again.

So I wanted to retract my hand, and then I realized that my wrist was still held by Li Yuan. Just now, these hands crushed the bones of a strong foreign man, but now they squeezed so tightly that I didn't feel any pain.

Only then did I realize that something was not right with him. His hand holding my wrist was shaking a little, as if he was suffering some pain.

I patted Li Yuan with my other hand. Only then did he react and let go of his hand.

Li Yuan's hands were cold and his face was pale. I couldn't help but take another look at him. I actually noticed that in this cold night, there were tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.

Although Egypt is in Africa, the temperature in the desert at night is very low. It is understandable that I am shivering from the cold, but sweating? I wonder if this kid would even touch the porcelain of God.

Just as he was about to tease Li Yuan, he caught a glimpse of the bulging moon peeking behind him.

At some point, the half moon that had been hanging perfunctorily on the Valley of the Kings quietly emerged from the clouds. It turned out to be a full moon.

I belatedly remembered that Aunt Li Zheng said that the full moon is when the strange transformation of the Yin family begins.

But today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and according to common sense, it should not be a full moon anyway. This confirms the [curse] that Hassan said. But will there really be a full moon for seven consecutive days in the future?

I looked at Li Yuan again. His expression remained unchanged, but I could see the subtle lines between his eyebrows.

Could it be that the full moon, which is outside the common sense, will also accelerate the transformation? The full moon wanted to hit Li Yuan's head. Although his expression was calm, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Are you okay?" I asked him quietly.

Li Yuan tried his best to smile at me.

"You know. In fact, it's not a big deal. I'm used to it. And this is not a real full moon after all, so don't worry."

Although he seemed quite relaxed, his body's reaction didn't lie. This transformation must have caused him a lot of pain.

I didn't pursue the question any further, so I had to change the subject: "What do you think Hassan did when he asked us to come?"

Li Yuan looked at the priests who were walking toward the temple and said: "Since this full moon and astrology are outside the laws of nature, and the temple can be restored, I suspect it has something to do with the magnetic field. Didn't they say that today's sixty-year anniversary?

Will the celestial phenomena we encounter guide us to find the treasures of ancient Egypt? The next step is to see how we can guide."

At this time, the noise interrupted our conversation, and the United Nations team members who came after us were all shocked by this scene.

Among the exclamations, Arno's beaming voice stood out. "These murals seem real! I didn't expect to see such a complete temple in my lifetime. It's really a worthwhile trip. Even if I can't find the treasure this time, I

I don’t feel any loss either.”

Jacqueline was obviously attracted, but due to the presence of Karl and others, she only cautiously kept a certain distance and looked around with wide eyes.

"Now this is the [Omniscient Temple]." Hassan's voice suddenly came, "This sacrificial temple is connected with the underground temple. Under the moonlight after the sacrifice, the [Omniscient Temple] will be revealed.

the power of".
