Chapter 82 The North Star Four Thousand Years Ago

The day and night in the desert are clear, but they are inextricably entangled. Before the last ray of light has dissipated, the stars have emerged.

The endless desert is like the sea. I can't see the passage of time, and I can't figure out where I am. The surrounding sand dunes rise high, as if they are surrounding us and have to cover us again.

The sun sets slowly, but the temperature drops suddenly.

We went back to the broken wall that was washed away by quicksand and settled down next to it. After all, the wind leakage here is not that serious, and I really don’t want to spend the night next to the bottomless pool. Who knows what’s under this thousand-year-old sand?

What are they buried?

Li Yuan went to find a lot of dead tree twigs and camel thorns and other plants, and prepared to use local materials, and then caught some small animals to roast and eat. In the end, I couldn't make up my mind to open my mouth about the scorpion, so Li Yuan

Released.

I wandered around without giving up, but didn't bring back any exciting discoveries. At this time, Li Yuan had already lit a fire and handed me a piece of meat threaded on a tree branch. I didn't think about the condiments, but it was good.

The meat is delicious.

"What kind of meat?" I asked casually.

"I have cleaned up the gerbils. There will be no parasitic infection." Li Yuan said. "There is also a small snake. It looks like there is only a few ounces of meat, so I didn't pick it up."

My scalp was numb when I heard it, but now that one more bite would give me more hope of living, I could only swallow it hard. Li Yuan didn't mind, picked up his portion and ate it slowly. He

His ability to hunt and handle fresh food is completely unlike that of a pampered modern man.

After nightfall, there was finally some movement around me. I was already very hungry, and I saw a few familiar animals standing on the sand dunes through the starlight.

"Can you catch those antelopes?"

Li Yuan look at me.

He later caught a small, furry mammal outside the fence. It looked a bit like a meerkat that had gained weight. The texture on its back was stretched out by fat, and it was pure brown.

We stared at it for a long time, neither of us knew what it was.

"Do you want to eat?" Li Yuan asked.

I swallowed hard and couldn't speak.

The little thing was pinched by Li Yuan on the back of his neck, and it was trembling under his hands. Li Yuan looked at it for a while, and then he raised his hand and put it outside the wall. I looked at the round little thing eagerly.

The short legs staggered over the sand dunes. As for the nest of desert hedgehogs not far away, it was better to stay away from such giant fairies.

The bonfire was swaying in the night wind.

Li Yuan took out a knife from the tactical bag tied to his thigh and gently touched the blade. It was the fragment of the bronze that originally cut his ankle and left a scar. I later found out that Li Yuan was afraid

This knife is not sharp enough to kill myself.

The wind and sand during the day blew away all the haze. The air was cool and thin, and the stars became brighter and brighter. Those bright planets are buried deep in the nebula and are blocked by thick dust, so we have the opportunity to see them directly.

View them.

In the desert, the starry sky is like a roof that is too high, but there is really no wall that can match it. I wrapped all the clothes we had and nestled in the corner sifting chaff, feeling very annoyed that I was not a watermelon, in the desert.

The temperature difference of twenty to thirty degrees between day and night is completely wasted.

Li Yuan was quite happy to be trapped in the desert. It seemed that there was no better place than this place.

I'm worried about how I will get through tonight.

279 and those from the United Nations must be walking in the direction of the North Star. Li Yuan and I also have to rush at night, otherwise we will not be able to get out of this desert without any reference during the day. What's more, the night is too cold to really fall asleep.

There's no way we'll wake up later.

Today is the seventh day of the full moon. Li Yuan wants to find that temple and commit his life there. Now is his only chance.

I looked at Li Yuan with questioning eyes.

"Maybe the quicksand helped us. Logically speaking, quicksand should make people sink down, but we were washed here."

I thought it was indeed the case. "Why is this happening?"

"I guess it's probably because of the snake." Li Yuan said. "Apepu should have been living under the desert, so there is probably a passage from the sacred tree to here for it to move. After the tree fell,

The passage collapsed, and this spatial gap caused the sand that was poured in to be brought here."

"You mean that Apep's activity range is not far from the temple built by Thutmose III?"

"At least the magnetic field here is more powerful, so I guess it won't take long to get there." Li Yuan pointed to his torn old man's shirt. Although the clothes were still torn, the flesh underneath had grown back.

I'm speechless. This transformation is really incredible. Such a serious injury can be recovered within a period of time. But if the magnetic field has a greater impact, tonight's transformation will be even more unbearable. Wait until we find that temple, Li

Isn't Yuan about to rush to the end of his destiny generously?

For reasons that I couldn't explain clearly, I said: "Even if you are not too far away, if you don't know where to go, you can only wander around like a headless fly in the desert. Then you will really be screaming.

The sky and the earth are not working anymore. I would rather stay here until the daytime, and at least I won’t freeze to death in the desert." After saying that, he leaned against the wall to show his determination.

"I definitely won't let anything happen to you. Just stare for a while to save your strength, and we'll leave later." Li Yuan gathered his fire and blocked the wind. "I'm watching you."

"If you want to leave, just leave." I took a deep breath and sat up, only to be pushed back by Li Yuan.

"Why are you waiting for the magpies to come and build a bridge for you? Let me tell you, there are only vultures here."

"I'm waiting for a star."

Waiting for the stars? I frowned.

"Didn't you just say that there was once a temple over the sand dune? Since it lasted for thousands of years, it must be very important."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up expectantly.

I understood what he meant. "You want to say that the Pharaoh probably also set out from that temple at that time, and we just need to follow his way?"

Ancient Egypt is one of the ancient civilizations in the world that independently created a calendar. Although its cosmology is not as complete as ours and lags behind Sumer in time, it also explains how man and nature get along. There are many buildings from the ancient Egyptian period.

They are all built based on the sun or a specific star.

It is indeed not far-fetched to say that the temple buried under the yellow sand for more than a thousand years is related to the astrology at that time. Moreover, in the notes given to us by Lord Black, his uncle did write that the last temple can be found.

You need to rely on the positioning method of astrology.

If we take where we are as the Pharaoh's final destination, and we are all heading towards the final temple, then there is no way we can actually find the right direction.

I trembled and took out the notebook. Li Yuan took it.

Old Blake's instructions regarding that temple are thus written:

[You walked for two days under the guidance of the North Star, and Set gave you a test. Then you will face the dark night, and finally you will reach the sacred horizon.]

We have already met the first few, and were taught a hard lesson by Seth. The dark night is exactly what we are experiencing at the moment, but we just don't know if we can survive to the "sacred horizon".

"When was the temple just now built?"

"The fragment of the Set Judgment Monument just now was reused as bricks in the Old Kingdom, and the bricks had Hassan's mark on them. It was probably used as a religious site at that time. So it must have been more than 4,000

Five thousand years ago."

Li Yuan nodded.

So long ago, Polaris was not the star it is now, so the Gap Polar Star naturally had to be recalculated.

Fortunately, Li Yuandang and Yin Yuechen have been working for a long time, and they have not forgotten that this is what they are doing. They can even memorize the ephemeris. He traced pictures on the sand and said excitedly when I was drowsy:

"Ariadne's crown!"

Why is it related to Greek mythology again?

"The Polar Star back then should have been Draco. If I'm not mistaken, the Polar Star that Blake mentioned was the Alpha Borealis star."

Li Yuan pointed towards the night sky.

"When the legendary crown given to Ariadne by Dionysus appears, you will know where to go!"

However, we cannot judge based on the relative position of the current stars. After all, the variable here is still the borrowed full moon.

We chatted for a while until Li Yuan slowly became silent. I knew it was the moon coming out.

The night sky couldn't hold such a domineering full moon, and the stars all gave way. The moonlight was so heavy that even a proud man like Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble.

Li Yuan refused to show weakness and was always patient. So I moved my shoulders, turned over and moved farther away from him, and then I heard his restrained breathing.

The God of Dionysus misses his lover especially tonight and refuses to give up the token to the night sky easily. The period of waiting for the Gongpole Star to come out is actually not that long, but it is very long. It is indeed closer to the magnetic field. The transformation tonight makes Li Yuan very happy.

Yes, I suffered some hardships again.

Pain is a part of Li Yuan's life. No matter how much we want to find a way to end his pain, it seems that the only way to do it is to end his life.

A sliver of moonlight lay between us.

The eternal moon that we have stared at for generations has only brought burns to Li Yuan. The cold moonlight is the best fuel at this moment, enough to scald the steely will. The peace just now was suddenly shattered by pain.

To me, the scenery that is supreme makes Li Yuan miserable. His fate is too cruel and cruel. A wounded man needs to overcome the difficulties together with a man who does not understand pain.

I turned my back to Li Yuan and stared at the bare wall.

Why is it not bright yet?

Slow work yields careful work. Hee hee.

btwThe Greeks like to use myths to mark constellations, and the story of Dionysus and Princess Ariadne is one of them.

I don’t know if the arctic stars in Draco constellation more than 4,000 years ago are actually the seven stars in Corona Borealis. I wrote this myth mainly to cue two points.

1. Dionysus.

2. Princess Ariadne’s country is Crete, and her father is King Minos. My research direction is actually ancient Greece in the Bronze Age, so I think it’s private stuff hhh (yes, my archeology in Egypt is basically

with soy sauce)
