Chapter 161 Pyramid

One of the eight wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids.

This is a pyramid located on the desert border of the Republic of Sudan. It is 120 meters high and 208 meters long at the bottom. It is built with 190 million huge stone blocks with an average weight of 2 tons each.

In fact, the Pyramid of Khufu is only claimed to be the largest in the world. There are many pyramid sites in the world, and its branches are located in America, Egypt and other places. The pyramids that have been "announced" are only the Pyramid of Khufu, but the old Tang Dynasty I know that there are pyramid sites bigger than the Pyramid of Khufu, but those things were not built in the desert, but in the Bermuda Triangle.

Yes, the pyramids were built under the sea.

I still remember that the deep-sea exploration mission released by the hunter website was surprisingly competitive, and everyone in the industry wanted to get a piece of it. With his excellent resume, Old Tang, who was an 'A+' hunter, also managed to get in. In the team, I was fortunate enough to visit the real giant pyramid under the deep water of Bermuda.

According to the visual inspection at that time, the pyramid hidden in the black sea water reached at least 500 meters level, which can be called a nightmare for patients with giant phobia. A building of that scale cannot be built by manpower. At that time, I was with the team The few men who dived were still shouting about Atlantis and prehistoric civilization with thick necks and blushing excitedly.

That mission was extremely dangerous, and even Old Tang, who has always had the physique of exorcising evil and avoiding disasters, almost suffered a serious injury, but at least he escaped in the end and brought a box of gold full of green algae parasites. The task, the Sudan Pyramid that Old Tang is currently exploring is nothing more than sprinkle water and pediatrics.

Inside a pyramid in the Sudanese desert.

In the dark and lengthy passage, Old Tang held a torch and walked in front of a mercenary team, looking around, and if he had nothing to do, he raised the torch to the colorful murals on the wall to observe, making tut-tsk sounds from time to time.

Compared to an adventurer, he was more like a tourist traveling in a group, and the live ammunition in the hands of a group of mercenaries behind him seemed much redundant.

"That, Mr. Ronald." The sponsor Mr. among the mercenaries said in embarrassment: "Is it really okay for you to not be vigilant at all? Ah. I'm not saying that you are not professional, I mean There's a real chance there's some here."

"Gods and ghosts, I know, it's clearly stated in the task briefing." Old Tang admired the picture of the kobold offering the "heart" to the pharaoh sitting firmly on the high position on the mural, and casually asked the funder Mr. waved his hand.

"We have already had a team of elites sacrificed here before. I don't want more people to repeat the same mistakes and fall here. If possible, I hope Mr. Ronald will be more vigilant." You're here, don't be ashamed of your mother's face, as if you're here for sightseeing.

"Zibuyu is strange and distracted." Old Tang said suddenly.

"Mr. Ronald, what are you talking about?" The funder looked blank and obviously didn't understand what Old Tang said.

"If you don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, if you don't believe it, respect ghosts and gods and stay away." Old Tang slowly read what he said before again: "This is an ancient Chinese saying, which means that we should have respect for ghosts and gods. The heart should not be credulous, and you must not believe it. The person who said this sentence once taught his disciples to respect ghosts and gods, and a gentleman should keep the righteous way in his heart. It means that as long as there is "righteousness" in the heart, you can break through the demons and evil spirits and retreat. "

In the dark and empty passage of the mausoleum, half-Chinese and half-English voices rang melodiously, showing an ethereal and unpredictable taste. After finishing speaking, Old Tang waved his hands and turned around to continue walking forward, leaving behind the people who were stunned by his words. The investor who lived here, and the rest of the mercenaries half-understand it, but inexplicably still feel that this Chinese-American opened his mouth to be the ancient Chinese Fa-rectification.

If it is normal, in any place, if someone throws out such a set of ghosts and gods, the funder will definitely dismiss it, and will strongly suspect that the other party is bluffing and deceiving, trying to give him Feng Shui to cheat money and raise a mistress. of.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the more mysterious Old Tang said, the more he believed and felt relieved, because he found this magic stick himself-people will only believe in what they desire.

For example, if you meet a magic stick on the street saying that you are the reincarnation of a god, you will rise to the top in this life and rise to the top, you must give him a medical ball, turn around and leave, and call him a liar, but if it is you who feel that things are not going well recently, take the initiative Find a fortune teller, no matter what he says, you will always say Emma in your heart, it makes sense, the master is a bit virtuous
This is a typical mental state of investors now.

A week ago, when he excavated the pyramid for the first time, he mobilized a whole group of private soldiers borrowed from the local warlords to sneak into the pyramid through secret passages to find the treasure, but he didn't get halfway there. This entire group of private soldiers was completely wiped out, and the last sentence of the half-rotten black uncle who escaped in the world was: mummy.

There are mummies in the pyramid, it’s a classic movie plot, but it’s just a movie, the funder thought so too, so he passed a message to the warlord to let him wipe out the rebels around the pyramid, and sent the next team of private soldiers to go ahead to explore.

It's a pity that the ending is similar, the team is completely wiped out, and no one can even come back alive this time to deliver the message.

So the pyramid was guarded for a month, and no living person entered or left the pyramid for a full month. Even if there was an ambush inside, they would have to starve to death, and the third exploration began naturally.

It is worth mentioning that the firepower of the third team is absolutely top-of-the-line. Except for the RPG, I didn’t dare to bring it (for fear of collapsing the pyramids), I brought all the heavy weapons that should be brought, and even carried a 12mm machine gun. They went in, but they still fell. In the radio contact, the last words they left were mummy, followed by boundless screams and noisy heavy machine gun fire.

After exploring the pyramid again and again, after more than 100 subordinates died, the funder had to believe that there was a ghost in the pyramid, so he honestly went to the hunter website and moved a great god to suppress the evil spirit in the pyramid. sex.

Ever since, Old Tang parachuted down from the plane in front of him wearing a sun hat, hanging a water bottle, and wearing Hawaiian beach shorts.

According to the intermediary on the hunter website, the hunter they found for the funder is the top brand of tyrannical evil spirits and ghosts and gods. No matter how ominous the haunted house, no matter how terrible the ruins and tombs, this man has been there and he is still perfect. And retreated, just a pyramid is nothing to worry about.

Looking at it now, at least Old Tang himself really didn't take this pyramid seriously, taking pictures and fumbling around, and he almost carved one with a stone to visit here, which has to make the funder doubt the reliability of this guy, But he could only endure it until he actually met Xie Chong. If the expert who met the mummy couldn't handle it, then they couldn't even handle it without a heavy machine gun.

After walking for a while, Old Tang, who was holding a torch in front, suddenly stopped jumping around and stopped talking. The sponsors and mercenaries behind noticed the abnormality and became vigilant.

It wasn't until they got to Old Tang's side that they realized that they had reached the "end" of the previous team.

On the only road in front of the passage of the mausoleum, countless rotting broken limbs and residual arms are piled up in the corner to form a hill, and the heads with their eyes gouged out are placed in a hill of residual limbs at the end of the "passage". Sexual sacrificial ceremony, all the mercenary hunks who watched this scene were terrified, and the sponsor was so frightened that his legs trembled and almost leaked a few drops.

"It's so fucking evil." Old Tang couldn't help muttering when he saw this scene. He boldly squatted down in front of the roadside aisle, stretched out his hand and poked the mouth of one of the heads. An eyeball immediately rolled out of it and stuck to the ground.

"Grand Master, look at this? Should we turn back?" The investor swallowed his saliva and asked aloud. Although the warlord behind him ordered to bring out the 'thing' in the pyramid, seeing this terrifying He still couldn't help retreating at the scene.

"It's okay, I've seen small scenes, and even more outrageous ones. Let's keep going. It's not too late to turn around and run after seeing a ghost." Old Tang wiped the investor's clothes, and strode towards the dark and long inside the passage.

The investor looked at Old Tang whose back was about to disappear under the firelight, and immediately followed with a shiver, and the mercenaries behind also trotted to keep up with cold sweat, holding the AK-47 in their hands tighter than their lovers.

Old Tang opened the way, followed by investors and mercenaries. The passage of the pyramid was like a nest drilled by underground ants. The old bones of the dead.At first they only thought that these people were tomb robbers in the old days, but gradually when the bones were spread tens of centimeters high and completely filled the ground, they realized that there seemed to be something really wrong with this ghostly place.

But even so, no one turned around and ran away, because Old Tang, who was holding a torch at the front, was still drilling in, and even started to trot because he thought the speed was too slow and the air was too stuffy.

In the dullness and fear, everyone followed along silently, everyone's spirits were tense to the limit, for fear that some ghost would pop out from behind or from a corner.Most of the bones they stepped on were left by the predecessors. Countless people had sneaked into this tomb and died on this dark and winding path that seemed to have no end. The pile of bones could be called an ocean, and they only It's just a few swimming fish that entered the ocean hastily. Why can they jump over the dragon gate and reach the end of the land without incident?
No one has an answer until now.

The only person in the team who didn't have such worries was probably Old Tang. He was jogging while clutching the torch, keeping his eyes on the front without squinting. The silky and slender mechanism tripped and tested several traps, and the weirdness and horror had no effect on him at all.

That's how they walked all the way, dismantling traps all the way, and the passage through the sea of ​​bones became more and more spacious. From the claustrophobic environment to the wide environment, the haze in people's hearts will be dissipated a lot, at least the change of space It also made everyone feel relieved, and the fear dissipated a lot.

The sponsors in the team sighed secretly, unconsciously filled with the bravery of materialists, thinking that the people who died in the pyramid before should be due to internal strife when they encountered treasures, right?Where are the mummy ghosts now, this is the 21st century.

At this time, Old Tang also happened to lead them through a sarcophagus area. The well-organized sarcophagi were placed horizontally on both sides of the spacious passage, and huge murals were carved on the walls and ceiling. Colorful, sphinxes crawling at the end of the passage, extinguished bonfires hanging on the walls are full of traces of history, dull, depressing, and solemn.

When passing by the forest-like sarcophagus, the sponsors inevitably became nervous again, but when they followed Old Tang, nothing happened, which made everyone's nervousness more relieved. At this time, perhaps out of an inexplicable fear in his heart, the investors turned back for no reason.

Then he saw a sight that he will never forget in his life.

*
Old Tang arrived at the main tomb, stood still, wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled.

Shit didn't happen.

Yes, when they arrived at the main tomb, everyone's spirits were still tense, but nothing terrible happened along the way.

The main tomb is very wide, and the space is an inverted triangle. The top is a gap in the tip of the pyramid. The light is like a spotlight and illuminates the dark space. It just falls on the dusty pharaoh's coffin made of pure gold. At this moment, Gu also stood upright and pointed at everyone who came out of the passage, as if welcoming them silently.

"It seems that there is no treasure." Old Tang turned his head and looked at the empty tomb around him. Here, like the previous path, there are piles of bones, and the golden coffin in the middle is just above the mountain of bones, just like sitting on the throne of bones. Peak, bathed in the noon sun, filled with a grand and evil smell.

"What we want is in the coffin, which is a heart. If you don't mind, please ask Mr. Ronald to take it out for us. This entrustment will be considered complete." The sponsor swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared at the coffin. Tool.

"Did you pee?" Old Tang looked down at the investor's wet underpants and was startled.

"Accident." The investor coughed.

"It's all right, but let's talk about it first. I don't want to ask why you want a dead person's heart, and I don't want to know what the heart is for, so you better not do things like killing people to silence people, killing donkeys." Lao Tang warned Investors.

After hearing this, the funder smiled wryly and said in a low voice, "We don't dare to do this unless you tell us, because we can't guarantee whether we can walk out of the grave alive if we do."

Old Tang raised his eyebrows and said that this group of foreigners really think they are some kind of masters who are proficient in ventilation and water methods?He had caught a glimpse of his nonsense before when he was looking for Jin Ping Mei in the library, but that's good, at least this group of people won't have any wrong thoughts about him.

Thinking that there is nothing to gain, under the sight of the funder and others, Old Tang quickly climbed up the bone mountain and touched the golden coffin, ready to open the coffin. He didn't notice the funder behind him looking at him His eyes were full of unimaginable fear.

Old Tang actually misunderstood.

The reason why the funder didn't want to do anything to Old Tang was not at all that he was worried that he had any great magic power and could kill all the mercenaries before they got involved. It was just that there was an accident on the way before entering the main tomb.

Maybe Old Tang ran too fast and didn't notice. When they passed the area leading to the ancient sarcophagus, nothing happened when he led the way and ran over.

But after he left with a large army, the sponsor among the mercenaries accidentally turned around and saw a scene that he would never forget. In the hundreds of sarcophagi, countless decayed dead people sat silently and silently. Facing them like a pilgrimage, the dead eyes under the yellow bandages are as dense as a swarm of fireflies in the darkness.

Old Tang opened the golden coffin, and what was sleeping inside was a shriveled mummy. There is no other description to describe it, because it is just a mummy that usually appears in documentaries and archaeological books. Scary.

"Heart, heart." Old Tang forced himself not to think about anything else. He took out the knife in the tool bag at his waist and started to attack the mummy, crackling and giving the mummy The emperor's mummy had a chest operation, and the heart that was as dry as a stone was dug out of the chest.

"Hey, buddy, you have been entrusted to do trivial matters for so many years, and it is useless to use them. Don't mind if I borrow them to make a living." Old Tang took a look at the unchanged mummy with his heart. Said something in a low voice.

The angle of the mummy was looking down on Old Tang, and the eye sockets that had lost their eyeballs were staring straight at his position, which made him a little terrified, so he could only read a few more words in a low voice. up.

It's just that at the last moment when the coffin was buttoned, whether it was because of the sunlight or because of old Tang's eyesight, a touch of mellow gold lighted up in the darkness inside the coffin, and it flashed by.

Then the coffin closed, with a heavy voice as if closing an ancient and magnificent era.

"I found it, what you wanted." On the bone mountain, Old Tang dropped most of the bone fragments with a sliding shovel.

The funder immediately greeted him nervously. He couldn't believe that this heart, which was hailed as the legendary "eternal gem" by the warlords, was so successful. According to local rumors, the Pharaoh in this pyramid spent He spent his whole life finding the gem of eternal life, and placed it in his chest as his own heart, and then gained the direct power and power to rule Sudan for nearly a hundred thousand years before he became old and unwilling. When he died, his heart was buried with him and became history.

The sponsor carefully packed the precious jade box of the heart he handed over, put it in the backpack and sternly told the mercenaries around to forget about it, and at the same time took out the satellite phone and started sending messages to the people outside the pyramid.

"Remember to put the reward into my account." Old Tang patted the backer on the shoulder, then looked back at the golden coffin: "Do you just take the heart? That thing seems to be made of pure gold, why don't you carry it back together? "

"No, no, please continue to lead the way and send us out." The funder on the phone wiped off his sweat and looked at the coffin with lingering fear, wondering if the things inside would be like the mummies in the sarcophagus area before The same sat up and stared at him with golden eyes.

"Money is hard to earn, remember to give five-star praise, dear." Old Tang sighed, took out his mobile phone and pressed the confirmation button for completing the task on the private custom APP of the hunter website - there is a Some signals can still come in some gaps in the open air, and the second-hand satellite phones prepared before are useless.

Just at this moment, just as Old Tang was about to put down his cell phone, a call came in on the screen. He glanced at it and found that it was an ocean call.
