Chapter 12 Chapter XI The Sacrificial Chamber in the Temple of Sulla

I couldn't help frowning when I heard that, if my knowledge is not too superficial, then he is a neurotic. I have never heard of a nation called "Sopah" in Egypt, nor have I heard of an Egyptian whose name has such a long pronunciation. I frowned and remained silent. Wang Jun had already explained for him: "He said his name means the Sopa tribe, the eagle on Michibo Peak." That little man, clicked frequently The first: "Sir, you can call me Yige, I think you are friends, that's why you call me that." We talked all the way and walked out all the way. At this time, I had already boarded the car prepared by Wang Jun, and I asked, "Mr. Yige, what nationality is your Sopa tribe?"

A very sad expression appeared on Yige's face, and he said: "This... I don't know, when I was born, there were only seven people left in our clan, and when I When I was sixteen years old, the other six tribesmen died one after another, and I was the only one left in the entire Sopa tribe." I smiled wryly and said, "So, you proclaimed yourself the chief of the Sopa tribe?" The expression on Yige's face seemed to have been greatly insulted, and I immediately knew that I had said something wrong. He puffed up his chest and said: "Sir, I am the chief of the Sopa tribe. When passed down to me, I am still the chief. Our family has always been the leader of the Sopa tribe!"

I quickly said, "Please forgive me for what I just said." Yige shook his head: "I'm not surprised, we Sopa once owned countless properties, vast green plains, and beautiful mountains, but now, I'm the only one left." Iger spoke in very broken English, but his tone was full of emotion, making one have to believe that he was telling the truth. Wang Jun touched me lightly: "What he said were all the legends of his family. If you continue to talk to him, he can tell you many legends of his family. From these legends, they The heyday of the Sopa tribe was even more prosperous than the Roman Empire!"

I looked at Yige, who was short and dark, and I was very suspicious. It was not just that I had never heard of such a nation as the "Sopah", but I was thinking: What is the relationship between him and the brass box? ? The question in my heart was quickly answered. After we arrived at the hotel and sat down in the room, Yige said, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Wang said, have you opened that box?" I hesitated for a moment, and said: "It can be said that—do you know what is in that box?" Yige shook his head and said, "I don't know, according to the legend of our family—"

He had just reached this point when Wang Jun raised his hand and said, "God, it's another legend in your clan!" Yige's attitude is very serious: "The legends in our family are all true!" Wang Jun spread his hands: "So what if it's true? What kind of clan do you belong to? You are the only one left, and you don't want to marry a woman outside your clan. After you die, your ethnic group will What's left?" Yige's face turned pale, and his body trembled. I have already seen that Yige has extremely strong self-esteem, and I am quite sorry for hurting his self-esteem, and I don't agree with Wang Jun's attitude.

I quickly said, "Even if Yige is dead, the glorious history and beautiful legends of the Sopa tribe must still exist." As soon as my words came out of my mouth, Yige suddenly rushed over to me, held my hand, with a grateful light in his eyes, and said: "Thank you, thank you!" Wang Jun shrugged helplessly: "Okay, one lunatic is not enough, now there are two lunatics." I smiled wryly at Wang Jun: "Madman? If I tell you the whole truth, I'm afraid you will become a lunatic too." Wang Jun knew that I was never a joker, so his expression couldn't help changing: "What is the truth?"

I shook my head and said: "I won't tell you now, I want to settle some matters with Yige first, you bring him to see me, but because of that brass box, is it from him?" Wang Jundao: "That's right, Yige is actually a crazy person, and I don't see anything worth noting about the brass box except for the exquisite lock on the box surface." I waved to him and said, "Don't draw any conclusions about Yige, just tell me what happened first." We were talking in Mandarin, of course Yige couldn't understand, he just looked at us with wide eyes. Wang Jun sat down helplessly, and said: "Okay, let me simply say that when Yige appeared on the construction site, it is impossible to check, but since he appeared, he said to everyone he met, In the Sura Temple, there are seven sacrificial rooms dedicated to the Sopa tribe, and it is said that anyone other than the Sopa tribe is not allowed to enter the seven sacrificial rooms."

I listened quietly.The Sura Temple has a history of nearly 3,000 years, and it is one of the best ancient temples in Egypt. It is also the ancient temple that hindered the progress of the huge water conservancy project. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the water conservancy project, it has been discussed to completely relocate the temple. However, this plan has now been abandoned, because the cost of relocating the temple is so staggering that even the Egyptian government and the United Nations Cultural and Educational Organization, which really want to preserve this ancient temple, are helpless.So the fate of that ancient temple being destroyed seems to have been doomed.

Wang Jun glanced at me and continued: "He heard that the ancient temple would not be preserved, so he asked someone to accompany him into the seven sacrificial rooms and take out something left by his clan." I nodded and said, "So you went with him?" Wang Jundao: "There are not many people who are willing to believe what he said, and there are very few people who have to pass through the tunnel full of spells. I am the most curious and least afraid of ancient spells, so I went. I got the brass box." I reached out and patted Wang Jun's shoulder: "Okay, I want you to know enough here, you might as well go back to work, from now on, it's just a matter between me and Yige."

Wang Jun looked at me and said, "You opened the box, didn't you? What's in the box? Is there a treasure box that contains a transparent devil as Yige said—" I was shocked and lost my voice: "Transparent devil?" Wang Jun pointed at Yige and said, "That's what he said. The story is similar to Aladdin's magic lamp. According to him, when the box is opened, a transparent monster will come out." I stayed silent and looked at Yige. Although Yige couldn't understand what Wang Jun was saying, he could clearly see what Wang Jun was talking about from the tone and demeanor of Wang Jun's speech. Come.

So, when I turned my head to look at him, he murmured, "Really, it's true." I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder to express my affection, turned my head, and said to Wang Jun, "You don't have to pay attention to us, you should know that the legend of any nation is a very beautiful story , you shouldn't laugh at them." Wang Jun laughed "haha": "Do you believe he is the chief of the Sopa tribe?" I nodded and said, "I believe it. I want to go with him to the secret sacrificial room of the ancient temple." Wang Jun shook his head and said, "It's a place as terrifying as hell. After I've been there once, the second time I don't want to go anymore." I firmly said: "But I have to go, I want to solve an extremely mysterious problem." Wang Jun said: "Okay, I also want to go back to the construction site. You and I can go back with the small plane of the Engineering Department. It will be much more convenient and you don't have to suffer the bumps of the journey." I know that the so-called "Engineering Agency's small plane" must be an old-style plane in the early days of World War II, and the pilots are almost the same as European or American adventurers. Their own lives and the lives of passengers—because this kind of people and this kind of plane are equally unreliable! But at this time, I was eager to go to the ancient temple, so I did not refuse Wang Jun's proposal. I nodded, and Wang Jun immediately picked up the phone and contacted the personnel of the Ministry of Water Resources. Yige and I walked to the balcony of the hotel, looking at the vehicles passing by outside the street, various buildings, and various people. Cairo is one of the most mysterious cities in the world. Even if you come here, there are no secret missions or adventures, you will still feel a mysterious atmosphere enveloped you, as long as you are in Cairo , you will not feel the mysterious atmosphere. I looked at it for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Yig, about the transparent devil, there has been a legend in your clan for a long time?" A strange light shone in Yige's eyes: "Can you believe it? Mr. Wei, can you believe it?" I nodded helplessly and said, "I believe." Yige said: "Mr. Wei, you are the first person outside of our clan to believe in this legend. Mr. Wang said that the box is with you. Have you opened the box?" I sighed: "Yes, the transparent devil also came out." For a while, Yige didn't seem to understand what I said, but then he backed up again and again until he reached the handrail of the balcony. His complexion became so pale, I was really afraid that he would fall from above, and I quickly grabbed his arm: "Calm down, I want to ask you, why did you hand over that brass box to someone?" Yige's complexion changed from pale to red again, and after murmuring for a while, he said: "I heard that the ancient temple can't be preserved, it's a relic of the clan, I'm the only one left in the clan, you Understand, I... have no money, so I..." "So you sold this brass box to someone at a very low price, and it turned out that Mr. Wang was the only buyer?" I continued. Yige lowered his head: "Yes, he paid sixty Egyptian pounds, and I can live for a long time." I sighed, and said: "Yig, according to this, you don't believe the legends in your clan, do you? If you are sure that there are transparent demons in that box, you will be willing to give them six Sell ​​it for ten Egyptian pounds?" Yige lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me. He was obviously feeling extremely ashamed in his heart. He murmured: "It's not that I don't believe it. I... just don't have money. This is the only thing I can sell. In the sacrificial room There are a lot of murals too, because that tunnel is horrible and no tourists want to see it, and, what's worse... no one believes me... no one at all!" Yige's eyes became moist! I heard him say that there are many murals in the seven mysterious sacrificial rooms, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.At this time, although I am not sure whether my trip will be successful, I am sure that I have grasped some ins and outs.Many things are still mysteries, but once you go to the seven sacrificial rooms, you can figure it out. At this time, Wang Jun came to the door of the balcony and said, "Get ready. In twenty minutes, a plane from the Ministry of Water Resources will fly to the construction site. I have already told them that the three of us will take the plane together and we are about to leave now." .” I shrugged. "No rest at all!" Wang Jundao: "Not anymore. If you want to rest, you have to rest for two days. After two days, you will fly to Cairo. Don't you want to spend two days in Cairo?" I hurriedly said, "No, it won't be too late if I have a chance in the future. I have to settle some matters and go back immediately." Wang Jun didn't ask me about the details, but said, "How is my nerdy brother?" I could hardly bear to tell him what kind of situation Wang Yan is in now! But I didn't say it in the end, because I knew Wang Jun's character. After he knew about it, he would be shocked and flustered. Maybe he would ask every Egyptian witch doctor for help. As a result, in less than three days, The whole world knows the secret. So, I just said lightly: "Very well, he and a beautiful girl named Yan Fen are about to get married." Wang Jun sighed: "That's right, as a younger brother, I am running ahead of my elder brother. I really regret why I went to study water conservancy in the first place, and now I don't even have a fixed residence!" I don't want to talk to him, Wang Jun actually loves his work very much, and he also likes to live an unrestrained life, he just said that on purpose.We left the hotel together and got into the car. Wang Jun arrived at the airport in thirteen minutes at an illegal high speed. As soon as we got out of the car, we hurried to a twin-engine plane painted grass green. As I expected, it was an old plane that almost no one in the world used anymore. When we got to the side of the plane, a man who looked like a pilot was idly walking around beside the plane. As soon as he saw us, he stood still and shouted loudly: "Old Wang, you are late." Wang Jun also said loudly: "I'm not late, it's just enough time. Is there no problem with the plane today?" The pilot jumped on the plane and shouted: "Pray!" Wang Jun smiled wryly, and said, "Listen, but I would rather pray to God than try to take the second road. The road is too bad, you know?" I didn't say anything to him, I stepped on the ladder to get on the plane and walked into the plane compartment. Wang Jun was the first to enter the car, and there were seats in the car, which was not easy.Before us there were already two men, one wearing the yarmulke.Those two people sat in front, their faces couldn't be seen. As soon as we got on the plane, someone came and closed the door. The man looked like the co-pilot, and he was also an American. He was constantly chewing gum. He glanced at the five people in the cabin and murmured :"seven people." As he said that, he walked towards the cockpit. At this time, the plane was almost trembling, roaring and galloping out on the runway. Almost immediately, the wings swayed slightly, and the plane took off. .This driver is undoubtedly first-rate. Sitting next to me, Wang Jun pointed to the two people in front, and said, "The man wearing the Egyptian round cap is an official from the Ministry of Water Resources who specially welcomes and entertains distinguished guests. The person next to him must be someone important." .” I responded casually: "Really?" Maybe my voice was a little louder, causing the two people in front to turn their heads at the same time. The Egyptian in the bonnet immediately turned his head, but the man beside him was still staring at me. And I stared at that person in a daze. Wang Junqi said: "Hey, why, do you know this person?" I didn't answer Wang Jun's words, but I bowed my body and said in a very alert voice, "Professor Lomono, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" I already knew that Professor Lomono was in Egypt, but I never expected to meet him in this dilapidated little plane!And if I had known that Professor Lomono was on board, I would never have taken this plane! Because, now I have no doubt that Professor Lomono and the killer King Braque have a very special relationship. As for those who are related to the killer King Brak, they really don't need to think too much, they can be called dangerous people. Having such a dangerous person on board is a very disadvantageous thing, so while I was talking, I was thinking about how to make things more favorable to me. Wang Jun was by my side, apparently still not aware of the seriousness of the matter. He was overjoyed when he heard me call out Professor Luo's name, and stood up: "So it's the famous Professor Lomono? It is a great honor to go to the construction site with you, I have already heard about you in letters from my younger brother, and my younger brother is your student Wang Yan." The look on Professor Lomono's face was that of a rock. He looked at me, then at Wang Jun, and finally, his eyes rested on Yige.Igor smiled very primly, and Lomono left his seat and walked towards us with his huge briefcase in his arms. He came in front of us, I couldn't help feeling very nervous, but Professor Lomono didn't pay attention to me, he just turned to Iger, and suddenly said something to Iger in a very strange language sentence. Yige's face immediately burst into joyful brilliance, and he immediately replied to Professor Lomono in that strange language.I boast that I have studied languages ​​from all over the world, but at this moment, I couldn't hear what Iger and Professor Lomono were saying. My heart is very anxious.For I know that the day when Lomono came to Egypt is the same as mine.
