Pharaoh and her queen

What was even more strange was that as soon as Ye Zhiqing stood up, the surroundings immediately returned to silence.

Under the scattered light, the stone statue casts shadows of various shapes on the ground, and at first glance, it looks like a monster with teeth and claws.

The hair on Ye Zhiqing's forehead was already soaked, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. Standing in front of the stone statue, he looked at the surrounding environment carefully. He could only comfort himself in his heart. of.

But when calm was restored, Ye Zhiqing discovered that the ground where he fell just now was covered with bumps of different heights, and he would trip over if he didn't pay attention when walking. Looking at it from the perspective of the road, I can't find any abnormalities.

This is the effect created by using human visual deviation, coupled with light and dark light and shadow.

... Ye Zhiqing did not want to praise the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians at this time.

Discovering this, Ye Zhiqing took advantage of the situation and fell down on the ground again. As expected, the strange and empty voice rang in his ears again.

Is it similar to the sound of wind in a special container that will emit a specific sound, coupled with the designer's exquisite design, it can only be heard in a certain area.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqing cheered up. Since this can make a sound, it proves that this space is not completely closed, and the way to get out should be within this pile of stone statues.

According to Ye Zhiqing's observations during this period, he should be in a building similar to a pyramid, but the reason why he is not sure is that according to his research experience on Egyptian pyramids in the 21st century, there is no layout in any pyramid like his own now What you see.

Lie down on the ground and looked at the largest pharaoh elephant along the scattered protrusions, there was nothing abnormal. Ye Zhiqing checked it many times, but still found nothing abnormal.

Was the previous guess wrong?Ye Zhiqing simply sat up, and as soon as the angle changed, Ye Zhiqing immediately noticed the abnormality. In the hand of the Pharaoh holding the scepter, the smallest finger was not close together, but facing upward.

Ye Zhiqing got down again, followed the direction pointed by his fingers, and looked at the stone wall on one side. The golden light and shadow intertwined on the stone wall to form a series of symbols.

It is an ancient Egyptian word - if someone disturbs the Pharaoh's sleep, the god of death will come in the ship of the dead and take her soul to hell.

Pharaoh's curse.

Ye Zhiqing frowned. If the sentence on the stone wall above was just a simple curse, it would be impossible to appear in such a hard-to-find place through such a complicated method, so Ye Zhiqing was sure that this sentence was a clue.

"If anyone disturbs the Pharaoh's sleep", if this sentence refers to the huge statue of the pharaoh in front of him, then the next clue is the ship of the dead.

Ye Zhiqing carefully recalled the layout of the group of stone statues he saw just now. There was no undead ship in the Shi Xiang group, and there were no shadows of undead ships on the murals in the passage, not even symbols.

So what exactly is the ship of the dead?

For a while, Ye Zhiqing fell into a stalemate again, and there was no other action for a long time.

"Heh," I don't know how long Ye Zhiqing stood in place, when suddenly an indistinct voice sounded behind him.

"I didn't expect you to stop here," the white-robed man suddenly appeared like a ghost, and he was watching Ye Zhiqing from the beginning to the end, watching Ye Zhiqing's every choice and every step he made.

"Soor," Ye Zhiqing said affirmatively without looking back.

"Um,"

Soor didn't pretend or deny it, because there was no need for it, he brought Ye Zhiqing here himself, and with Ye Zhiqing's wisdom, he had already guessed that it was him.

"So you brought me here just to see where I would stop?" With a mocking tone, Ye Zhiqing turned around and looked at Soor sullenly.

The hasty surveying and mapping of this mission is for the imminent reconstruction of the Nile River waterway, and if I guessed correctly, when the flood of the Nile River recedes, malaria will soon rage, and at the same time the reconstruction project of the Nile River waterway is carried out, the only one Manpower will be more pressing.

For Ittis' current situation, this is enough to shake the rule.

But Ye Zhiqing couldn't guess Suool's intention to catch her. She admitted that she was really frustrated at the moment.

Even on the day when Punt Wangcheng was broken, she was not like she is now, completely unable to predict the opponent's next move, and had no way to think of countermeasures in advance, but was led by the nose and had to take risks to give people forced out.

For Ye Zhiqing, the unknown is the most dangerous.

It was just a bet that Soor was near her, bet that Soor would show up after seeing her without any movement, Ye Zhiqing's physical condition, if they didn't replenish energy in time, they knew each other, they wouldn't last long.

And if Soor didn't show up, Ye Zhiqing's life and death belonged to the destiny.

Ye Zhiqing secretly rejoiced in her heart, luckily she made the right bet.

She is the same as ordinary people in the mortal world, and she cherishes her life, especially when people have concerns, they will cherish their lives even more.

"What if I say yes?" Sool was a little surprised that Ye Zhiqing was in a panic at this time, and deliberately followed her words, thinking that this woman would be as calm and self-sufficient as before, waiting for an opportunity to bite back at any time, and the current situation has come to an end It's very interesting.

Ye Zhiqing snorted softly, "My disappearance during the surveying and mapping will be discovered sooner or later, but what kind of scheme is worth the great priest to take such a big risk to bring me here in person? "

"At the same time, you brought me here, but you didn't show up. If I guessed correctly, you have been hiding in the dark and watching me since I woke up. As for why you are hiding in the dark and watching me It's to verify something that has a direct connection to me."

Ye Zhiqing paused for a while, suppressed the anger on his face, and calmed down, "Priest Soor, what do you think?"

Soor was taken aback, then smiled indifferently, "You're right, you still remember the golden scepter that you asked me about in the Lingling Temple."

The golden scepter that brought Ye Zhiqing to ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.

Light and shadow instantly appeared in the depths of the pupils, and Ye Zhiqing asked almost subconsciously, "Where is that scepter?"

"Yes, here, right under your feet," Soor maintained an elegant smile, calmly.

Ye Zhiqing seemed to be able to feel the sound of blood rushing rapidly in the fragile blood vessels, constantly hitting her ventricle, bang bang bang...

The astonishment and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and it turned out to be the golden scepter he had been looking for.

Soor looked at Ye Zhiqing quietly. He had enough time for Ye Zhiqing to digest the news. He had already grasped Ye Zhiqing's weakness, so there was no need to worry that she would not cooperate with him.

It seems that he is free from the secular world of royal power, but he is actually imprisoned in a cage that cannot be seen by others. Soor's eyes are gradually turning red. He is unwilling and unwilling.

Finally, this absurd and absurd mission called an oracle on his family's back is finally coming to an end!

————This is the dividing line

Preparations are being made for the reconstruction of the Nile waterway outside Thebes, and Itis and General Xitu are inspecting.

During the period since Ye Zhiqing left, Ittis would often come to the Nile River outside the city, with deep eyes, looking at the distant river bank.

"My lord, why do you have to carry out the reconstruction project of the Nile River waterway in such a hurry? You know, this is not a good time." During this period of time, he ran out of the city every day, and the worry on his brows could not be seen by others, but he could see it at a glance.

"General Xitu, do you think the reconstruction of the Nile River channel will go smoothly?" Itis was stunned for a moment, and then quickly disappeared, obviously not expecting General Xitu to ask this question.

Xitu bowed without any hesitation, "Xitu believes in any decision the king makes."

Hearing this, Edith smiled and said, "I have an old wound on my body, it's time to remove all the rotten flesh."

Xitu didn't speak any more, and quietly guarded Ittis. This was his king, the God Amon whom he followed with his life.

The two quietly looked at the workers who were working in the distance. Due to the shortage of people, everyone needed to do double or even more work than usual.

The whistling river wind blows towards their faces, which can slightly relieve their heat from working under the scorching sun.

But only there.

At this time, no one discovered that a group of people had mixed in among the workers to lobby,

"Your Majesty Edith insists on disobeying the oracle, and the flood is a warning. We are forced to do so much work every day, and sooner or later we will contract diseases and die of pain."

"I just feel sorry for the women and children in the family."

"Hurry up, both of you, if this is heard, we won't have to live."

The faces of the workers who heard it turned pale in an instant, and they were mechanically doing the work at hand, but a certain idea had more or less been buried in their hearts.

And the two who were talking obediently shut up after finishing their speech, pretending to be doing the work at hand honestly.

Twilight is approaching.

A goshawk circled from the sky and flew into Thebes city from outside the city.

In the narrow and closed room, the flickering candlelight made the expressions of the people inside a bit hideous.

"The plan outside the city has been implemented smoothly, what about the progress at Prince Ilhot's place?" The trembling old voice was hoarse and ugly.

"The news just arrived today that Assyria has sent a mission to the border of Mutuo, and it is estimated that it will arrive in two days," a younger voice could not conceal the excitement, and then asked.

"When will our plans begin?"

"Wait a minute, now is not the time"

"Don't make me wait too long."

The voice fell, followed by a long, unspoken silence.

The throne of Egypt should not be sat by that woman.
