Chapter 6 The Lost Ancient City

"The first pharaoh of the Egyptian dynasty!" Liu Dan said, "In legend, he was the first to unify the upper and lower Egypt, but there are also legends that the person who unified Egypt was the Scorpion King!"

"Shadow!?" Mrs. Serene even screamed in the phone receiver, "Mr. Liu, I hope you don't touch that thing!"

"King of Scorpion? You're still a bone demon!" Old Liu let go of the receiver in his hand, "Madam Serene, what do you mean by what you said?"

"I don't encounter many evil spirits in Egypt, but they are very tricky every time," said Madame Serene. "Tutankhamun's curse is vicious, but it is easy to relieve it. Although the curse of Narma does not cause death soon, it is difficult to relieve it. The 'shadow' you call is very similar to the curse of Narma. I hope you are more careful!"

"What is the content of their curse?" Old Liu asked, "The victim did not disclose it?"

"Tutankhamun's curse is 'let death come upon you', and Narma's curse is strange, 'God will take back your shadow!'" Mrs. Serene was silent for a moment, "Mr. Liu, I can only say so much that the cursed may be hurt again, so I can only remind you to be careful."

"Okay, thank you!" Old Liu hung up the phone and turned to ask Liu Dan, "Madame Serene said, this seems to be the curse of Narmae. The content of the curse is 'God will take back your shadow'. Can you understand?"

"Shadow..." After hearing Lao Liu's words, the sweat on Liu Dan's head also came down, "Mr. Liu, Sun Ting has been to the pyramid of Narma! It was the pyramid of Dedevra that Narmay guided them to find! He may not have known where the pyramid of Dedevra was in advance!"

"You mean, they are all urging people by ghosts? (Folk proverb, meaning to make a fool of themselves)" Old Liu was puzzled.

"Mr. Liu, this is how it is. In ancient Egypt, there was a history of worship of shadows. Egypt was located in a desert area, with drought and little rain, but shadows would bring coolness to people. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians believed that shadows were gifts from God to people. When it came to the first dynasty of ancient Egypt, the dynasty established by Narma, the shadows were regarded as the representative of the soul. God wanted to take back your shadow, which means that God wanted to take back your soul!" Liu Dan looked carefully at the sheepskin map, "The ancient Egyptians believed that people were composed of three parts: flesh, soul and consciousness. The flesh would not die if they left the soul alone or left the consciousness alone. Sun Ting's symptoms were very similar to losing the soul!"

"Then why did he go to the pyramid of Dedevra?" Qin Ge was puzzled.

"It's so. In ancient Egyptian legend, if God wants to take back someone's soul, he will let him go to the place closest to him!" Liu Dan frowned and opened the notebook next to the sheepskin map. "Anubis is the god in charge of death. If it is true as the legendary Dedevra is the son of Anubis, then the pyramid of Dedevra is the place closest to Dedevra! I suspect that they found the pyramid of Dedevra under the guidance of the curse...ah!"

"What!?" Qin Ge leaned forward.

"Sun Ting and the others..." Liu Dan covered his mouth with his hands, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, "They discovered the city of Alango!"

"Where has he gone?" Old Liu's mind was already in a mess, thinking that if Sun Ting woke up, he would definitely have a common language with Qin Ge, and he would be the one who couldn't stay idle, so he would have to make more trouble.

"The City of Alango is a legendary city! It flourished from the 16th century BC to the 12th century BC, but then suddenly disappeared. Just like Loulan in China and Pompeii in Italy, all the stories about Alango are legends, and there is even a legend that is the city where God lives. Later, God was tired of it and destroyed it. No one knew where Alango was and why it was destroyed!"

"The specific location, is it recorded in this book?" Qin Ge's face showed a smile.

"Well, not only are there maps, but the exact latitude and longitude are even marked! There is also a structural diagram of the Arango site! This is the largest archaeological discovery in the 20th century!" Liu Dan couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "Sun Ting will be recorded in history!"

"Hey...hey... don't be happy in a hurry," Old Liu was afraid that they could really find a place. "That curse is not brought out from that Arango, right? You have to think it clearly before you go!"

"I'm responsible for the equipment, you're responsible for the weapons, and you'll set off tomorrow night!" Qin Ge didn't look at Old Liu at all, and spoke directly to Alxun, with excitement in his words.

"Mr. Liu, this is the only clue to saving Sun Ting!" Liu Dan closed the notebook and looked at Old Liu's head.

"Oh! Well!" Old Liu was helpless. Although he didn't even understand the principle of the so-called curse, he could only bite the bullet and acquiesce for the sake of the jade pendant and Lantingxu.

The next night.

Old Liu was sleeping on the bed when he suddenly heard a thud. When he opened his eyes, he found that Alxun had put an oversized travel bag on the ground, with his big bags on his body as if he was escaping.

"What is this?" Old Liu said.

"Weapons...and...equipment..." Alxun took off his bags of all sizes from his body, lowered his head and unzipped the travel bag, and took out a submachine gun with a weird style.

"Mr. Liu, are you ready?" Qin Ge followed closely and entered the house.

"Okay! Let's go!" Old Liu turned over from the bed and put on his cloth bag with his back.

"What equipment is this?" Old Liu had seen the walkie-talkie, but at this time, Old Liu did find the pile of things that Alxun took.

"Satellite positioning system, the latest technology of the US Navy, and metal detectors, help us find some clues in the ruins of the ancient city. This is a night vision device, which can amplify the light in the night by 100,000 times. The US Army studied (the night vision device at that time was still very bulky and not as light as it is now). "Alex said, "There are satellite communication equipment. If you are in distress, you can use this to ask for help!"

"Hey! This thing..." Old Liu picked up the night vision device, "Quick! Turn off the lights quickly, I'll try it! How dark it is..."

"Mr. Liu...you're taking it wrong...there's the camera over there..."

...

A deserted house near Cairo.

"It's here..." Old Liu looked around. Apart from the headlights of the car he was riding in when he came, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

"No...it's just starting from here..." Qin Ge looked at the watch, looked up at the sky again. A few minutes later, a deafening sound came, and a helicopter landed in the empty field in front of the house.

"We'll have to fly for about three and a half hours!" The pilot's blonde hair and blue eyes, unlike an Egyptian native.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Old Liu was dreaming, and suddenly was awakened by Alxun, "Mr. Liu, we are here..."

After getting off the plane, Lao Liu's head immediately felt a layer of sweat. Although it was early in the morning, the temperature was at least 30 degrees. Looking around, it was all about a vast sea of ​​sand.

Qin Ge set up a theodolite in the desert, "The helicopter will come here to pick us up in three days, so we should move quickly!"

"I said, Mr. Qin, this place doesn't look like an ancient city..." After only a dozen minutes, the sun began to shine. Old Liu put on a canopy in his hand and looked around again and again, "Also, Mr. Qin, you are not going to take this pile of iron lumps, right?"

"We only bring weapons, night vision instruments, metal detectors and supplies, and the rest stay here..." Alxun raised his gun.

"To the north, about three or four kilometers, there were some errors in the place where we landed!" Qin Ge said.

After packing up the things and covering the satellite communication equipment with a tarp, the four of them began to move north. They said that walking in the desert is different from flat ground. The sand is soft, and it is sunken every time. With the high temperature, the sweat on Lao Liu's head was gone before he could walk a kilometer.

"There!" Liu Dan suddenly shouted, "I saw Alango!"

"Where?" Looking in the direction of Liu Dan's finger, there seemed to be a few large pillars vaguely inserted into the sand not far away. When moving forward, there seemed to be a huge sand dune. Due to the steam in the desert, it was difficult to see clearly.

When he saw the place, several people were also energetic. He strided and ran to the pillar, making Old Liu so tired that he was out of breath. "Comrade Liu, look... what is written on this pillar...?"

Needless to say, Liu Dan has begun to observe the remaining ancient characters on the pillars.

"Strange..." Liu Dan suddenly frowned, "This pillar was not built by people from Alango City!"

"What? Could it be... it was repaired by the Cairo Municipal Government?" Old Liu wiped his sweat and started drinking with a kettle.

"This pillar was created in the 19th Dynasty. Pharaoh Spatta was warning his subjects not to enter the city of Alango!" Liu Dan said.

"What if I go in? Kantou?" Old Liu frowned.

"I don't know, the text behind it can't be seen clearly. It seems... This is the ruins of a temple. According to the above records, the sandbags over there should be the city of Alango! This temple should have been built after the destruction of Alango. The Egyptians believed that it was the wrath of the gods that led to the destruction of Alango, so this temple was built here!"

"Ha, this anger has been in trouble for thousands of years, so it should have disappeared, right?" Old Liu took off his shoes and poured the sand, "Let's go! Take a fuck! Damn, if I had known this broken place, I wouldn't have come..."

Under the huge sand dunes, even Old Liu was shocked. How could this be a sand dunes? It was clearly a magnificent ancient city. Although most of it had been buried by sand, the remaining part was enough to make ordinary people stunned. At the gate of the city, two huge stone statues were exposed outside the sand. The upper body was nearly twenty years high, as if they were carved from a whole piece of stone. But just these two stone statues could show the scale of the ancient city at that time. Behind the stone statue was the city gate, and there seemed to be no city wall. I don’t know if Fenghua collapsed or it simply didn’t build it.

After entering the city gate, the four of them felt at a loss. Although the part of the ancient city exposed to the ground was only less than one-third, if only four people searched, it would take at least half a month. At this time, there were only two days. How could it be possible to find the place where Sun Ting was in trouble?

"Each of us searches for a direction, and we bring the walkie-talkie with us. If there is any situation, contact us immediately!" Qin Ge asked Alxun to take out the walkie-talkie from his bag, "Mr. Liu, if there is any problem, press this key to speak..."

"Okay! I'm not a fool..." Old Liu took out a handful of jade head (small piece of jade) from his cloth bag, "Come on, one for each person! Don't throw it away if you bring it!"

"What is this?" Liu Dan said curiously, "Amulet?"

"No, this is called death jade. All of your jades are sealed with souls. With this on you, I can find you within three hundred steps!"

When Liu Dan heard the soul, he was so scared that his face turned pale, "Mr. Liu...I don't want this..."

"No danger! It's not a bad ghost!" Old Liu stuffed the jade head into Liu Dan's hand, "Wear it, you're the only girl. If you get heatstroke and shock, it's easy for us to find it!"

Several people were about to take action separately, but Alxun suddenly picked up the submachine gun and turned around and aimed.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ge also took out his pistol.

"I... always feel that someone is following us..." Alxun was a Vietnam War scout and was very sensitive to abnormal situations in the surrounding environment.
