Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen The Tomb of the High Priest

Looking forward, the canyon looked like a long alley, about a mile or so. The tomb of the high priest I am looking for may be on the opening of the canyon. I have two ways to reach my destination. One way is, I ditch the car and walk across the canyon. The second method is that I drive around one of the two cliffs and reach the other side of the cliff.However, when I tried to use the second method, I found that the two completely separated hills, rocky, extended to both sides, I don't know how far they extend! That is to say, if I want to go around those two mountains, it will take a lot of time, and it is still a question whether I can get around those two mountains. Under such circumstances, of course, the only way is to abandon the car and walk up!

I got out of the car, hung all the things I used in a canvas bag on my shoulders, and walked towards the canyon. I only walked about ten yards before I stopped. When I stopped, my body couldn't help Trembling, at the same time, I heard a strange "de" sound. It took me a while before I heard that strange "dede" sound. It turned out to be the sound made when my upper and lower rows of teeth collided. The sound was originally quite soft, but in the realm of silence In addition to the echoes from the two cliffs, it sounds very strange. I saw the famous desert scorpion!

In front of me, there was a pile of white bones, which was left by some kind of beast, and poisonous scorpions were crawling on that pile of white bones!The color of the poisonous scorpion is exactly the same as the rock, which is why it makes me tremble. Because I don't know if there are such poisonous scorpions around me. Because of their vivid protective colors, they are as powerful as invisible devils. Some of the poisonous scorpions crawling on the bones were motionless, some were wriggling, and some were fighting each other with their tail hooks, but no matter whether they were moving or still, they were all equally ugly.

I quickly lifted my feet and wanted to step back. But when I lifted my feet, I saw some "sand grains" started to move under my feet. They were also poisonous scorpions, and I had stepped on several poisonous scorpions under my feet.The rocks on both sides of my body are also covered with these scorpions. It seems that it is impossible for me to pass through this canyon. I didn't stay for long before I retreated extremely quickly. I immediately jumped into the car and closed the door. I was relieved until I was sure that there was no poisonous scorpion attached to my body. I didn't want to step into the canyon again. I immediately started the car and drove forward. , After driving for about 30 miles, I found a place where I could turn. The car was bouncing on the rugged hills until dawn.After the sky became bright, I found that although I had already left the lair of the desert scorpion, I was lost!

In front of me, there are all undulating hills, and my car's fuel storage is running out, and it is about to become a boat stranded on the shallows! I stopped the car, and the remaining gasoline could last me about fifteen miles. Fortunately, I expected that it might not be easy to find the tomb of the high priest, so I had enough food and water Yes, it can supply the needs of six or seven days. But where is the tomb of the high priest now?I have completely lost my way. I got out of the car and looked around and there was nothing but sand and rocks. I was looking for the shadows of the two tall cliffs in the distance. If I saw these two cliffs, I could recognize the direction based on this, but I couldn't see anything.

In the current situation, my compass is useless, because I don't know where I have passed in the past few tens of miles. If I go east, I don't know if I've gone too far. Of course, I can't go back. I become completely trapped here.I decided to take a rest first, so I got into the car. I was quite tired, so I fell asleep shortly after I got into the car. I woke up hot, under the scorching sun, the car was as hot as a stove, when I woke up, I rolled out of the car to take a breath, and my body was completely soaked ! I stood panting, drinking water, and in the heat, I was so worried that the gasoline tank would explode!

After finally getting dark, I can't stay still forever, I have to keep going.When I started the car again, it seemed to me that there were vultures hovering above my head. I drove another five or six miles, and saw a faint fire ahead, which made me very excited, and I immediately drove the car towards the fire. When my car stopped beside a fire, the four Arabs in white robes beside the fire looked at me with hostile eyes. I raised my hands and walked towards them. Already shouted in Arabic: "I am a lost man, can I come here?" The four people looked at each other before saying: "Yes."

I put down my hand, walked forward, and when I got to those four people, one of them asked, "Where are you going?" I don't know where I'm going, because I can't name the place.And if I tell about the tomb of the high priest, those four people must not know about it.So I thought for a while: "I want to go to the exit of a canyon, and that canyon is full of poisonous scorpions." The four Arabs were taken aback: "You are going to the canyon of death Go to the exit? This... this... what are you going to do?" I lied: "I am a member of the International Health Organization, and I was ordered to study everything about the desert scorpion, so I want to go to the exit of that canyon Go." One of them said: "Then you have to go south, you can see two big pillars, that's it."

I don't quite understand: two big stone pillars?What does this mean, but when I mentioned it, the Arab said: "Two big stone pillars are two big stone pillars!" I asked again, and said, "The exit to the east of the canyon should be a very remote place. What do you mean by the two big stone pillars?" The Arab said: "Everyone knows about the two huge stone pillars, why do you doubt them?" I understand a little bit. At the exit of the canyon, there are indeed two large stone pillars. Those two large stone pillars must be very abrupt. Could they be the symbol of the tomb of the high priest?

I thanked them, drove the car again, and drove forward in the direction they said. After driving less than ten miles, the gasoline ran out.Once there was no gasoline, the car was completely useless. I had to abandon the car and walk. I kept walking. After a while, I saw a very tall black shadow in front of me, which looked like a mountain. I saw the cliff again at last, and it made me almost jump for joy. However, while I was happy, I also felt an inexplicable sense of terror. I was about to reach the mouth of the canyon, and I was approaching the lair of the desert scorpion again! At this time, it was quite dark, so I turned on the powerful flashlight and walked about two miles forward. When I raised the flashlight to shine forward, I saw the two big stone pillars.

It wasn't until I saw those two big stone pillars that I didn't know why those Arabs were so surprised and incomprehensible after I suspected those two big stone pillars. Because those two big stone pillars are so magnificent! If it is daylight and the weather is good, I believe they can be seen from five miles away without any telescope! How these two large stone pillars were built seems to be the same as the construction of the pyramid, which is a mystery.Those two stone pillars were thirty feet high and as thick as five people hugging each other. They are made of big stones one after another, and the weight of each big stone will never be lighter than two tons! There are two stone pillars about twenty feet apart. They stand like that in the desert, about twenty yards from the exit of the canyon. I walked forward and stared at the two stone pillars intently. Big stone pillar. I didn’t stop until I came under one of the stone pillars. I found that there were many reliefs engraved on the stone pillar. Looking carefully, all the reliefs showed patterns of cattle. They were cattle of various shapes. Some have a bull's head and a human body, and some have a bull's head and a cow's body. As soon as I saw those bull-shaped reliefs, I felt even more happy, because I immediately remembered the words translated on the metal plate: the high priest is the incarnation of the bull god. Since the high priest is the "incarnation of the bull god", isn't it reasonable that there is a bull-shaped relief on the big stone pillar in front of his tomb?The tomb of the high priest must be here! I already know that the tomb of the high priest is underground. Where is the entrance to the underground tomb?I shine a powerful torch on the ground, hoping to discover something. However, I spent a full hour searching carefully between the two stone pillars. At the same time, I also used a very sharp iron rod at one end to forcefully stick in the sand. I hoped that there would be stones or slabs that could be inserted under the sand, but I still couldn't find any. During this hour, I was so tired from constantly bending down and searching the ground that I had to straighten up, lean my back against the stone pillar, and take a rest. At this time, the sky had changed, and the east began to appear white. After a while, the sun rose. I was standing facing the east, but because of the rising sun, I turned around and turned my back to the sun. . At that moment, I almost jumped up! The rising sun caused the long shadow of the stone pillar to cast on the cliff. Since the cliff is inclined and uneven, the focus of the two parallel stone pillars appeared on the same stone cliff. The tips of the shadows of the two pillars meet on the cliff! I immediately saw that where the black shadow was, there was a crack in the stone that wasn't very wide. Although the crack in the rock wasn't very wide, it was enough for a person to walk in sideways! I knew that I had discovered the entrance to the high priest's tomb, and it was by chance. I couldn't but be happy for my luck, and I rushed forward. I ran to the bottom of the cliff. Fortunately, under the rising sun, the poisonous scorpions seemed to be hidden. I didn't find any poisonous scorpions on the rocks, so I started to climb up. It only took me 20 minutes to reach the crack in the stone. Judging from the two large stone pillars, the tomb of the high priest should be extremely grand. Could an extremely large tomb have such a narrow entrance?This seems unlikely.So I took another closer look before stepping sideways. I immediately realized that my concerns were unfounded. Although the stone gap is narrow, it can be seen that this is the result of artificial blockage. It was originally a rather large hole, but it was artificially sealed with stones of the same color, leaving only a crack in the stone! I turned on the flashlight, put on a gas mask, and started to walk into the crevice of the stone. After I walked a few steps, I saw a winding stone step leading to the bottom. Those stone steps were chiseled quite exquisitely, and they were all chiseled out of a kind of pure white stone.I walked down slowly, and at the same time, I took out the air component test paper, and I found that the color of the test paper was still light blue. If the composition of the air changes, the color of the test paper will change.Many people are interested in the very effective "spells" left in some ancient tombs in Egypt. In fact, most of the people who died in the ancient tombs were caused by the sealing of the ancient tombs for thousands of years, which made the air There was a change, because of the inhalation of poisonous gas.I walked down more than forty stone steps and came to a bronze gate. The copper door is very flat and smooth, just like a huge mirror! I stood in front of the bronze gate, and I could clearly see my own shadow reflected on the bronze gate. The shadow is so clear that I can't help but take a step closer to see it more clearly. At the same time, I also want to know why the bronze gate built thousands of years ago is so smooth. But when I took a step forward, the most wonderful, incredible, and hair-raising thing in the world happened! That copper door, after I took a step forward, went up automatically and rose up! When the copper door was rising, there was almost no sound at all, so fast and so smooth, it didn't look like an ancient tomb thousands of years ago, I seemed to be standing in front of a super-era building! At that moment, I was really stunned! I didn't know how long I stayed there before I remembered to take a closer look at the situation inside the bronze door. However, when I looked forward, I became even more lost. I remember that I seemed to be sneering constantly. But exactly why I was sneering, I can never say why, and I probably didn't mean to sneer--I can't say for sure, because my thoughts are so disordered that I can't be sure of anything. Indeed, the situation in front of me can really make people crazy: inside the copper door is a corridor, and there are many electric lights on both sides of the corridor! That may not be just an electric lamp, but it is definitely not an oil lamp. I am sure that it must be a more advanced lamp than electric lamps.The light it emits is extremely soft and pleasant, and it is embedded on both sides of the corridor wall, about every ten feet. Under that kind of lighting, this corridor is as bright as it is in the open air. I thought I was going to explore a dark, damp ancient tomb, so I took a lot of precautions and lighting equipment, but now I stand in front of a bright corridor, in this corridor The freshness of the air is by no means under the corridors of the United Nations Building. I stood there for a while, shaking my head vigorously. If I was having a nightmare, then shaking my head like this would definitely wake me up, but when I shook my head, I was still standing at the entrance of the corridor superior. I started to walk forward, although I came to a place that was completely different from what I expected, but I couldn't get out of it.Both sides of the corridor are full of very smooth stones. At the end, there is another door. As soon as I walked to the door, the door opened again automatically. When the door opened and I looked inside, I involuntarily grabbed my hair so tightly that it hurt at the root. It was a hall, also illuminated by the same light, and there was quite a lot of furniture in the hall, don't think it was a heavy gold chair from ancient Egypt, the chairs, tables and everything else I saw was more romantic than Denmark with the most romantic lines The furniture is more romantic, so that at first glance it is almost impossible to recognize that it is a chair or something. Is this possible?How could this be possible? I shook my head involuntarily, there is no mirror in the hall, otherwise, I would definitely see myself as a fool. I walked forward slowly, my mind was in a mess because I didn't know where I was! I walked up to a table. The surface of that table was smooth and shiny. Sure enough, I saw my expression, and I was so surprised. It was like a Chinese in the sixteenth century who suddenly saw Like the beauties with bare breasts and arms in the 20th century. On that wall, there are two buttons, one red and one green. And in that hall, there are also two doors, one is red and the other is green, which can make people think that these two buttons are used to open these two doors. Since this doesn't really look like an Egyptian tomb, before I could press the button to open the two doors, I asked aloud, "Is anyone here?" This is really a very ridiculous question, "Is there anyone here?" I seem to have entered a modern house, a modern building, instead of walking into the tomb of an ancient Egyptian priest. Is this really the tomb of an ancient Egyptian priest?If so, then what kind of person was this Egyptian priest, and why did his tomb look like this?Everything here seems to be much more advanced than any buildings! Of course, I didn't get any answer to my question, but my voice aroused a "humming" echo, and that echo lasted for a long time in the room. When the room returned to extreme silence, I reached out to press the red button. When my finger was about to touch the red button, it trembled violently, just like the fingers of a drug addict during the onset of drug addiction.Because I absolutely can't imagine what kind of result will be produced when my finger is pressed down. Everything here is beyond my imagination, I don't even know if I should press the red button! My fingers trembled even more when they touched the button, and I wasn't even sure whether it was me who pressed it hard or whether it was the shaking of my fingers that touched the red button. As I expected, when the button was touched, the red door opened automatically. Inside that red door is another room, and in the middle of that room is a long transparent box. When I first saw the long transparent box, I thought to myself: This is like a A glass coffin. However, when I looked forward again, I found that it was indeed a glass coffin! In that rectangular glass box, lay a person! I saw the man's feet, because the man was lying in the glass coffin with his feet facing me. His body was covered with a white blanket, (I guess it was a blanket), and his head was huge. God, I actually came to the tomb of the high priest, because since there is a coffin here, isn't it a tomb?The person lying in the glass coffin was, of course, the High Priest. I stayed for a while before walking forward. When I came to the front of the transparent coffin, I clenched my fists tightly, but my palms were constantly sweating. The high priest lying inside has a head twice the size of a normal person, and his head is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, his eyes are protruding, his ears are pointed and short, and in front of the ears, there are two iron-gray The protrusions, those two protrusions, are triangular in shape. In a word, this is not like a human head, but like a bull's head! However, judging from the hands and feet exposed outside the white blanket, they were human hands and feet. To put it simply: this is a tauren! I always thought that the bull head and the horse face were just ghosts in the underworld in Chinese legends. It is really hard to imagine that there was a high priest in ancient Egypt who would be like that! I stood there blankly for a long time before taking two steps back and sitting down on a chair. In my mind, it is really confusing, because I don't know what it is, just a sentence appeared in my mind over and over again: "The high priest is the incarnation of the bull god", a man with a head similar to a cow What is a human being if it is not the "incarnation of the bull god"? When I gradually calmed down, I realized a little bit that I could already make an assumption. My assumption is very absurd, but under the current situation, only such an assumption can meet the situation. fact. My assumption is: this high priest is not from Earth. I had no choice but to think about it this way. Of course, the high priest is dead, but his body lying in the glass coffin is believed to be the same as when he was alive. Is there such a person on earth? This man is not from the earth, his tomb looks like this, his appearance is so strange, and his tomb is related to that box with extremely magical functions, isn’t it all understandable? After I gradually settled down in my heart, I didn't seem so at a loss, and I stood up. At this time, I saw a very strange device on top of the glass coffin.It was hanging from above, like a chandelier, but with only two wires and nothing else. At the end of the two wires are two rather thin metal rods, the metal rods are silver-gray. As soon as I saw those two metal rods, my heart moved, and I couldn't help but took out the "box".Those two metal rods can just fit into the larger holes on one side of the box! My hands trembled involuntarily. This is indeed related to the "box" I found. If I insert those two metal rods, what will happen? I kept telling myself, don't insert them, don't touch them! But that didn't work, I was like a quitter yelling in my heart: Don't smoke, don't smoke, but the movements of my hands are like picking up a lighter and lighting a cigarette. While I was thinking not to touch the two metal rods, I naturally inserted the two metal rods into the two small holes of the "box". After inserting those two tiny metal rods, my mind settled instead, and I took a step back, waiting for the change to happen.At this time, the "box" was hanging less than two steps in front of me. At first, it didn't change much, it just hung like that, and later, it made a slight "squeak" sound.This sound is very low, no louder than a person's breathing. I was still standing still, and after a while, I saw two streams of light coming out of two small holes among the many small holes in the "box".Those small holes were originally only the size of a needle tip, and the light emitted from the pinhole was as thin as a thread.
