Chapter 1213: The Secret of the Oasis

Snapped!

After getting off the car, he stopped by the spring surrounded by a circular pool, and Zhang Zian calmly slapped a mosquito buzzing in front of him to death.

It is also an oasis, but the number of mosquitoes in Siwa Oasis is much less than that in Fayoum Oasis. This is strange. Siwa Oasis has more than 2,000 natural springs and saltwater lakes. The environment is similar to Fayoum Oasis. It stands to reason Mosquito numbers shouldn't make such a big difference.

To talk about the reasons, one is that the planting area of ​​plants and crops here is much smaller than that there, and the other is that although Garonne Lake is a saltwater lake, it is not too salty. At least there are fish and shrimps living in the lake, but the salt content of Siwa Lake is too high. Even the sandy beaches by the lake are covered with hoarfrost-like salt particles, preventing mosquitoes from laying eggs and hatching larvae in the lake water.

The water in the spring is running water, crystal clear, and mosquitoes like to lay eggs in stagnant, still and smelly water.

Of course, the sound of him slapping mosquitoes couldn't be fooled by Fina's ears, but she didn't seem to find any honey vendors when passing by the market just now, which made her extremely regretful, while he was very fortunate.

Standing by the pool and watching the children playing in the water for a while, Zhang Zian finally confirmed with disappointment that the European female tourists did not mean to swim naked, but a few young men seemed to want to take off their clothes and go into the water.

While his eyes were wandering, Fina seemed to have something on her mind, and kept looking at the khaki-colored building hidden by the dense date palm grove.

From here, he could only see the spire of the building, but he didn't have a fixed destination anyway, and he didn't want to see the man swimming, so Zhang Zian proposed to go that way.

When passing under the date palm tree, Richard ate a few dates in his mouth, but immediately spit them out, almost onto Zhang Zian's clothes.

"It's sour and astringent, so unpalatable!" it murmured.

"Isn't this nonsense? You can eat it before it's ripe? But I heard that dates dipped in cool oil have a special flavor, do you want to try it?" Zhang Zian knew that it was idle, and he couldn't close his broken mouth even for a moment. , I have to find something to do, either to eat or to talk.

Just as they were talking, they walked through the woods, and a building that looked like a dilapidated castle appeared in front of them, but it seemed that there should not be a castle here.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zian immediately understood the identity of this building - this is the Temple of the Oracle where Alexander the Great came to seek the oracle, and not far away is the Temple of Amun.

Now when it comes to the Temple of Amun, it generally refers to the large Temple of Amun in Luxor, and few people come here.

Whether it is the Temple of the Oracle or the Temple of Amun,

They all enshrined the sun god Amon with the head of a sheep and the body of a man, and now they are all in ruins.

These two Temples of Amun and the Temple of the Oracle, which once changed history, were not destroyed by heavy rains, because the ancient Egyptians generally used stones instead of mud bricks to build large buildings—maybe it would be better to use mud bricks instead of mud bricks because The building was too strong and was blown up by the local people with dynamite in 1896, and the police station and other facilities were built with local materials.

After listening to Zhang Zian's explanation, Vladimir nodded approvingly and said, "Although it's a pity, I support breaking the four olds and eradicating feudal superstitions! The people are the masters of their own affairs, demolishing temples and building houses to shelter ordinary people from the wind and rain , this should be considered a good thing! As for God, can you let him go out for a few days temporarily!"

"Well..." Zhang Zian told it tactfully, "This has nothing to do with sweeping away feudal superstitions. The temple is demolished just because the local people don't believe in this god..."

Vladimir understood what he meant and couldn't help being speechless.

The Oracle Hall is built on a small mound, and you can climb up the steps by lifting your feet.

It was deserted and deserted, and there was no one there.

Zhang Zian and the elves came to the ruins of the oracle hall. There was a stone tablet standing here. The stone tablet described in English and Arabic how Alexander the Great went into the desert with a small number of entourages to seek the oracle.

This is one of the commanding heights of Siwa. After all, gods, only those who are high above can look like gods.

Standing here and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the whole town, surrounded by dark green date palm forests, and farther away is a rippling saltwater lake.

Across the town, the Hill of the Dead is far away from here.

The sun is hovering near the horizon, and the sun is no longer glaring. This is a good place to think about the history of life and perception. Standing alone in front of the oracle hall, the mind seems to be emptied—whether it is a dynasty that lasted for thousands of years or it is influenced by the people. The temple dedicated to it was nothing more than a piece of loess in the end.

Zhang Zi installed a pretentious sigh, and could only allow himself to let go for a while, after all, he had to make money to marry a wife, and his children and grandchildren would be endless... Facts have proved that only the continuation of the blood is the most reliable.

To his surprise, since coming to the oracle hall, Richard suddenly became silent, with his head lowered as if he had been thinking about something silently.

It really made Zhang Zian uncomfortable with its silent appearance.

"I said, did you take the wrong medicine?" He asked, "Or do you want to have diarrhea after taking too much? Let me tell you, if you dare to pull it on my body and clothes..."

Richard shook his head, and said solemnly: "My uncle is thinking about a question, you idiot, don't bother me."

Fuck?

Zhang Zian stared at it in disbelief, it really didn't seem like such serious words came out of its bird's mouth that was always spewing dung.

"What question are you thinking about?" He asked curiously. Could it be some very important question that can make this bastard think about himself?

Richard clicked his tongue, "I told you not to bother me! What's the use of knowing, you idiot?"

"You can't say that." Zhang Zian endured its contempt for the time being in order to understand the doubts in his heart, "Haven't you heard? Three cobblers together are worth a Zhuge Liang! You can tell the problem, maybe Can I help you find the answer?"

"Cut! It's up to you? The two of us together will lower your average IQ level!" Richard rolled his eyes.

It seems that it will not eat the soft ones, but insists on hard ones!

Just as Zhang Zian rolled up his sleeves and was about to use violence to enforce the law, it was a bird that didn't want to suffer any immediate losses, and immediately changed its tone and said, "Quack! It's okay to tell you, maybe you are the child of destiny, and you are the right one to solve this problem!"

"Oh? Actually, I think so too!"

He was happy to hear that, but he also raised his vigilance in his heart, because this bastard would never praise him for no reason.

Richard lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Did you find out? We walked here from the hotel. It seems that we didn't see a woman along the way?"
