Chapter 96 Boyajian Star Trap

"Bruce!" Carl yelled excitedly.

The blond man stood beside the boat and looked back.His blue eyes melted into the moonlight, like the waves of the deep sea, and all the light was smashed into the pupil.Then he smiled at everyone comfortingly, as if returning to a calm sea.But no one knew what kind of undercurrent was hidden there, and they didn't want to try it, so they could only watch him stepping on the sun golden boat without looking back.

The Chinese Buddha doesn't care whether you come by land or water, all who come are destined.But this temple is different. You have to come from the holy lake, and you can't go any other way.

We have all seen it just now, the moonlight illuminates the desert very brightly, and the holy lake is like a pool of silver quicksand.The surroundings of the temple are surrounded by this kind of quicksand, and it is impossible for people to get through. The only way left is to get on the pirate ship.

Apep waited beside the boat.The black snake's huge head floated oppressively on the water, and the golden vertical pupils were obviously blind but seemed to be staring at everyone.

According to ancient Egyptian mythology, Apep, the god of chaos, stood in the way of the sun god on his nightly journey, and drank up the river, causing the golden ship of the sun to run aground.It was Seth who fought it and slew it so that Ra, the sun god, could rise again from the east.

But why is it that Apep is guarding the sun golden boat now, and wants to guide us across the holy lake?
Don't let me think too much, everyone boarded the boat gradually, and I had no choice but to follow.The golden boat didn't look too big, but it accommodated more than [-] of us and it wasn't too crowded.Bruce stood at the bow, and both Morgan and Boothwell looked at him.

The sun golden boat cruised on the lake, shattering the moonlight and stars, as if more than 300 lamps were lit, accompanying us across the sparkling reeds.

Lyra chanted a hymn to the gods.

If it weren't for knowing that this trip would be bad or bad, there was the big black snake Apepu in front of him, and there were many people who knew people and faces but didn't know their hearts, in fact, crossing the river under the moonlight was quite interesting.

Seeing that my expression was wrong, Li Yuan asked, "What are you worried about?"

I told him my thoughts. "One more thing I don't understand is that not everyone can get on the Sun Gold Ship. Who is making the choice? This is completely unreasonable."

Someone next to him sneered, but it was a constant laugh.This person is always eccentric, and always speaks strange things inexplicably.If Meng Weiqing didn't want to say anything, he would show it very bluntly, but Chang Xiao's words always seemed to have a hook in them, making you want to find out, but they were still vague and choking.Coupled with being trapped on this weird solar gold ship, I'm not feeling well.

"It would be great if you could mention a point or two, otherwise I really can't think of how I can laugh in this situation."

Chang Xiao raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yuan and me, showing an expression that could not be said to be mocking or wry, but it was very uncomfortable anyway.

"I've told you before, don't just look in front of your eyes. Do you still think these things can be explained with common sense? Or do you think these things are related to ancient Egypt?"

"Didn't you say Lou Shiqi earlier?"

I was stunned, I didn't expect Chang Xiao to be more surprised than me.

"What did I say that kid is doing?" He stared hard. "You look very clever, what's going on in your mind?"

I was dumbfounded, and couldn't help looking at Lou Shiqi.He arched his back slightly, leaning next to He Rongchuan and Jiang Can, still with the same kind of virtue without backbone.

Suddenly the boat, which had been running steadily, shook, and Laila, who was near the side of the boat, almost fell out.Lou Shiqi quietly moved into her path as if he had eyes behind his back.The full moon was too strange, as if half of the night had been sucked in.The moonlight is above our heads, and the holy lake is under our bodies. It is obviously bright, but it feels dark.If I hadn't happened to be watching Lou Shiqi, I wouldn't have noticed his actions at all, and even Laila thought it was just Lou Shiqi who happened to help her.

But the commotion continued.It turned out that when everyone's attention was focused on Bruce, who was the first to board the boat, someone was attracted by the moonlight and reached out to touch the lake water if he didn't pay attention.There are really people who are not afraid of death and go to the holy lake to fish for the moon.Before boarding the boat, the water of the holy lake was extremely clear, but now it is muddy when viewed from the boat.It is even more chaotic than cloudy.The water in this lake is very strange, the sun gold boat can sail freely on it, but if you touch it, it seems to have touched cracked broken glass.

The man couldn't pull his hand back, and then his whole body was sucked in.The person next to him wanted to help, but was swallowed by the lake.Instead of ripples, the stirred water broke apart, and the two men seemed to fill in the broken places.When the boat passed by, there was no ripple on the lake.

Except for the sound of cursing, no one could hear anything, and everyone raised their vigilance.Including the one who jumped into the lake by himself, three people have been lost now.This has not yet reached the temple, it is simply an understatement.I clearly realized that from now on, life and death are not so clear.

This holy lake of the temple did not come out of thin air.No one, or life, can be created out of nothing.Even if there is, it is just a blindfold.But now we are actually crossing the lake.Unless it's already here, invisible to us for some reason.This reminds me of a controversial astronomical phenomenon in recent years.

Many astronomers have observed a star numbered KIC 8462852 named Boyajian.It is better known as Tabby's Star.The star, located about 1480 light-years away, is notable for its dramatic dimming for unknown reasons.

No one has yet been able to explain this.Some people speculate that the sudden dimming of Boyajian's Star is because it is surrounded by a huge man-made structure, and some advanced alien civilization is building a Dyson sphere structure around Tabby's Star.

The Dyson sphere structure was proposed by Freeman Dyson in the 60s, and it is used to wrap giant artificial celestial bodies that exploit their energy from stars.That is, a natural nuclear fusion reactor that uses stars as a power source.When Boyajian's star is surrounded by the Dyson sphere structure, the star's light is naturally dimmed, and it is even difficult to see.

If the shrines and sanctuaries are hidden for similar reasons until we arrive, we are walking into a trap.No idea who, or what, was waiting inside.However, no matter who can set up such a trap to invite you into the urn, its energy cannot be underestimated, and its intentions are also unpredictable.

I looked at Apepu's huge snake body, and couldn't help thinking, could we all be deceived, if the storm in the desert was caused by Set, wouldn't it be that Seth didn't want us to do something wrong?

All of this is just my guess, but the lake water is so real that it is impossible for all senses of touch, smell, hearing and sight to deceive me.Besides, even if you fool me, can you fool these old monsters?

I quietly looked at those people.Meng Weiqing's expression was dignified, no different from usual; Teacher Bai squinted his eyes and watched the surrounding environment; Boothwell had long since stopped playing the role of a harmless fringe archaeologist, and he winked at Kawaishan, standing The front of the Sun Gold Ship.They are all observing Bruce consciously or unconsciously.

The boat docked, and we walked on the Shinto path under the watchful eyes of Apepu Rumang.

I looked up at the distant and magnificent building at the end of the road.

In the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, nature is divine, and they integrated their understanding into the shaping of nature.The gold mines mined from the ground were of the same quality as the sun to the ancient Egyptians, so they used gold to cast the bodies of gods and carve the most holy buildings with gold.

Ignoring Carl's hesitation to speak and the suspicious eyes of the others, Bruce took the lead in walking towards the palace that was more dazzling than the moonlight.

"That's Apepu's old lair, right? It sent us here to feed its snake sons and grandchildren." Jiang Can muttered, and in return for Ding Ze's contemptuous glance, he also plausibly said: "Journey to the West Remember that’s how it works.”

"If this is its old nest, where is the snake slough? It's too clean as an animal's territory." Ding Ze asked back.He was originally a hunter in the snow area, and he is quite experienced in animal habits.Another person who has some insights into animal behavior is not willing to be left out.

"You still remember that before Apepu appeared from the desert, we thought its head was a black rock. Then the road under our feet may be paved by its snake slough."

After hearing what Lou Shiqi said, everyone in 279 lowered their heads to look at the Shinto floor tiles.Just now, our attention was all on the statues standing on both sides, and we ignored a very inconsistent point, that is, the holy lake, the statues on both sides of the Shinto, and the buildings at the end are all white, only the road under our feet is black.

"Qiqi, this is wrong." Jiang Can frowned and looked at it for a long time, "No matter how big the snake is, it can't cover the entire road, right?"

Indeed, although the black snake that was watching over the holy lake to ensure that we walked towards the temple was extremely huge, its trunk diameter was only more than one meter in diameter.And the road in front of him can at least accommodate the entire 279 to walk sideways together.

Lou Shiqi said that some snakes will continue to develop during their lifetime, as long as they live, this is why they need to shed their skin, because the original skin can no longer keep up with the body.

"Of course, it is also possible that this is the sum of several snake sloughs, or it is not a snake slough at all. Once it comes, it will be safe, and if you don't leave, you will be preempted." Lou Shiqi also couldn't figure it out, but he would give it a try. Step down by yourself.

Meng Weiqing is not interested in studying such trivial things, he has a task to complete.There was no turning back when the bow was opened, and everyone had to keep moving forward with the mentality of "everyone is coming".

The feeling that has been making me uneasy since I crossed the lake became more and more obvious after I took the Shinto way.The statues of gods sitting on both sides brought not only oppression, but also a very strong sense of disobedience.

Who is this road prepared for, so that the gods who should be enshrined can wait by the roadside in such a humble posture?And it's still waiting for thousands of years.

It's a pity that there is no answer at the end of the road, and another thing that is more difficult to explain makes me want to turn around and leave.
