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 base. It is built with a total of 1.9 million boulders weighing an average of 2 tons each. Its size is close to the largest pyramid of Khufu in the world.

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 they are widely distributed in America, Egypt and other places. Among the pyramids that have been "announced", the Pyramid of Khufu is the largest, but only the Pyramid of Lao Tang You know, there are pyramid sites bigger than the Pyramid of Khufu, but that thing was 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. All the prominent figures in the industry wanted to get a share of the pie. With his outstanding resume, Old Tang, an 'A+' level hunter, also managed to sneak in. The team was lucky enough to visit the truly giant pyramid under the deep water of Bermuda.

According to visual inspection at that time, the pyramid hidden in the black seawater reached at least 500 meters. It was a nightmare for those with macrophobia. A building of that scale could not be built by manpower at all. I followed the team at that time Some of the guys who dived together were excitedly shouting about Atlantis, prehistoric civilization and so on.

That mission was extremely dangerous. Even Old Tang, who had always had the ability to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, was almost seriously injured. However, he managed to escape in the end and brought out a box full of gold with parasitic green algae shells. Compared to that time, The mission, the Sudan Pyramid that Old Tang is exploring now is just child's play.

Interior of a pyramid in the Sudanese desert.

In the dark and long passage, Old Tang held a torch and walked in front of a mercenary team. He looked around here and there. If nothing happened, he would hold the torch in front of the colorful murals on the wall to observe, making tut-tsk sounds from time to time.

He was more like a tourist than an adventurer. The real guns and ammunition in the hands of a group of mercenaries behind him seemed much redundant.

"Well, Mr. Ronald." The investor in the mercenary group spoke out in embarrassment: "Is it really okay for you to be so unwary? Ah, I'm not saying you're not dedicated, I'm saying There’s a real chance there’s some here.”

"It's all about ghosts and ghosts, I know. It's very clear in the mission introduction." Old Tang admired the picture of the kobold on the mural offering a "heart" to the pharaoh who was sitting firmly in a high position, and casually said to the funder The gentleman waved his hand.

"We have already had a team of elites sacrificed here before. I don't want more people to make the same mistake and fall here. If possible, I hope Mr. Ronald will be more vigilant." The investor once again expressed euphemistically that I had spent a lot of money to ask for help. You're here, don't be so fucking shameless and act like you're here for sightseeing.

"You can't say anything about your strange power," Old Tang suddenly said.

"Mr. Ronald, what did you say?" The investor looked confused, clearly not understanding what Old Tang said.

"You don't talk about monsters and gods. It's not because you don't believe in them. Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them." Old Tang slowly read the words he had said before again: "This is an ancient saying from China, which means that we should have awe of ghosts and gods. The heart must not be gullible, but it must not be disbelieved. The master who said this sentence once taught his disciples to keep a respectful distance from ghosts and gods. A gentleman should keep the right path in his heart. This means that as long as there is "righteousness" in the heart, he can break through the demons and demons and punish the evil spirits. "

In the dark and empty passage of the mausoleum, half-Chinese and half-English voices circulated melodiously, showing an ethereal and unpredictable feeling. After speaking, Old Tang waved his hands and turned around to continue walking forward, leaving behind those who were suppressed by his words. The investors who stayed here and the remaining mercenaries half understood what they were saying, but somehow they still felt that this Chinese-American spoke like an ancient Chinese Dharma practitioner and felt that he was very upright.

If in normal times, anywhere, someone throws out this set of ghostly remarks, the investor will definitely be dismissive of it, and will strongly suspect that the other party is trying to gain Feng Shui for himself, so as to defraud money to raise a mistress or something. of.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the more mysterious what Old Tang says, the more convinced and at ease he becomes, because he found this magic stick himself - people will only believe what they desire.

For example, if you meet a magician on the street who tells you that you are the reincarnation of a god and that you will have a successful career in this life, you will definitely throw him a towel and walk away and call him a liar. But if you feel that things are not going your way recently, take the initiative. Go find a fortune teller. No matter what he says, you will always say Emma. It makes sense. The old master has some skills.

This is the typical psychological state of today's investors.

A week ago, when he first excavated the pyramid, he used an entire group of private soldiers borrowed from the local warlords to bravely follow the secret passage into the pyramid to find the treasure, but he was not even halfway there. This entire group of private soldiers was wiped out, and the last words of a half-rotted black uncle who escaped at the end of his life were: mummy.

There are mummies in the pyramid, a very classic movie plot, but it is just a movie. The funder thought so too, so he sent a message to the warlord and asked him to clear out the rebels around the pyramid, and then sent the next group of private soldiers to the front. Go explore.

Unfortunately, the ending was similar, the team was wiped out, and no one even came back alive to deliver the message this time.

So the pyramid was guarded for a month. No one came in or out for a full month. Even if there was an ambush inside, they would all starve to death. The third exploration naturally began.

It is worth mentioning that the firepower of the third team is absolutely top-notch. Except for the RPG, which they did not dare to bring (for fear of destroying the pyramid), they brought all the other heavy weapons that should be brought, and even carried a 12mm machine gun. They went in, but still fell. In the radio contact, the last words they left were mummies, followed by endless screams and noisy heavy machine gun fire.

After repeatedly exploring the pyramid and killing more than a hundred of his subordinates, the investors had to believe that there was a ghost in the pyramid, so they honestly went to the hunter website and moved a giant god in order to suppress the pyramid. Evil nature.

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

According to the agent on the hunter website, the hunter they found for the investor is the leader of evil spirits and ghosts. No matter how bad the haunted house is, how terrible the ruins and tombs, this man has been to them all and has a perfect body. But after retreating, a mere pyramid is nothing to worry about.

Judging from the current situation, at least Old Tang himself did not take this pyramid seriously. He took pictures everywhere and only had to carve one with a stone to visit. This had to make the funders doubt the reliability of this guy. But he could only endure it until he actually met the evil spirit. If the expert couldn't handle it after meeting the mummy, then they wouldn't be able to handle it even if they didn't even bring a heavy machine gun.

After walking a while further, Old Tang, who was holding a torch in front, suddenly stopped jumping around and stopped talking. The investors and mercenaries behind him noticed the abnormality and became alert.

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

On the only road in front of the mausoleum passage, countless rotten severed limbs and arms were piled up in the corners to form a hill. Heads with their eyes gouged out formed an 'aisle' that ended with a hill of stumps. It was so evil. A sexual sacrificial ceremony, all the mercenaries and macho men who saw this scene were horrified, and the investors were so frightened that their legs trembled and almost leaked a few drops.

"It's so damn evil." Old Tang couldn't help but muttered when he saw this scene. He boldly squatted down in front of the aisle of heads on the roadside, stretched out his hand and teased 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 loudly. Although the warlord behind him gave a death order to bring out the 'things' in the pyramid, seeing this horror He couldn't help but retreat after the scene.

"It's okay, I've seen small scenes and more outrageous scenes. Let's keep walking. It's not too late to turn around and run if we see a ghost." Old Tang stretched out his hand and wiped it on the investor's clothes, then strode towards the dark and lengthy room. Inside the passage.

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

Old Tang opened the way, followed by investors and mercenaries. The passages of the pyramid were tortuous and chaotic like underground ants' nests. The further you went in, the more outrageous and bizarre the scene became. I don't know when, began to appear on the ground. The old and white bones. At first they thought these people were tomb robbers from the old days, but gradually when the bones were spread tens of centimeters high and completely filled the ground, they realized that something was really wrong with this ghost place.

But despite this, no one turned around and ran away, because Old Tang, who was holding a torch at the front, was still getting in. He even started trotting because he thought the speed was too slow and the air was too stuffy.

Amidst the dullness and fear, everyone moved forward in silence. Everyone's spirit was tense to the limit, for fear of some ghost jumping out from behind or in the corner. Most of the bones they stepped on were left by their predecessors. Countless people had sneaked into this mausoleum 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 could only They are just a few swimming fish in the ocean. How can they jump over the dragon gate and reach the end of the world safely?

No one knows the answer.

The only one in the team who didn't have such worries was probably Old Tang. He was trotting while holding the torch and looking straight ahead. He also stopped several times to pick off a few spider-like sticks. The silky and slender mechanism trip locks and several traps were tested. The weirdness and terror had no impact on him at all.

In this way, they walked all the way, dismantling traps along the way, and the passage along the sea of ​​bones became wider and wider. Changing from a claustrophobic environment to a spacious environment will make people's hearts dissipate a lot, at least the change of space. It also made everyone feel relieved, and their fear dissipated a lot.

The investors in the team sighed secretly, and unconsciously felt the bravery of materialists in their hearts. They thought that those who died in the pyramid before had encountered internal strife over the treasure, right? Where did these mummies and ghosts come from? This is the 21st century.

At this time, Old Tang also happened to lead them through a sarcophagus area. There were orderly sarcophagi placed on both sides of the spacious passage. Huge murals were carved on the walls and ceilings. The entire space was gray and black with a hint of sarcophagus. Colorful, the Sphinx is crawling at the end of the passage, and extinguished bonfires hang on the walls, full of traces of history. It is dull, depressing, and solemn.

When passing by the forest-like sarcophagus, the investors inevitably became nervous again, but when they followed Old Tang and ran over, nothing happened. This made everyone's nervousness more relaxed. It was at this time that the investor turned back for no reason, perhaps out of an inexplicable fear in his heart.

Then he saw a sight he would never forget.

*

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

Nothing happened.

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

The main tomb chamber is very wide, and the space is in the form of an inverted triangle. At the top is a gap at the tip of the pyramid. The light shines down like a spotlight, illuminating the dark space. It just falls on the pharaoh's coffin, which is made of pure gold and is covered with dust. At this moment, Ju was standing upright and pointed at everyone coming out of the passage, as if he was silently welcoming them.

"There doesn't seem to be any treasure." Old Tang turned around and looked at the empty tombs around him. Like the previous path, there were piles of bones. The golden coffin in the middle was also sitting on the mountain of bones, just like sitting on a bone throne. On the top, bathed in the midday sun, it is filled with a grand and evil smell.

"The thing we want is in the coffin. It's a heart. If you don't mind, please ask Mr. Ronald to help us take it out. This commission will be considered complete." The investor swallowed and stared at the coffin. Tool.

"Did you pee?" Old Tang looked down at the investor's wet underwear and was a little stunned.

"Accident." The investor coughed.

"It's okay, but let's talk 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 used for, so you'd better not do anything like murdering people and killing people." Old Tang warned. Investors.

After hearing this, the investor smiled bitterly and whispered: "We don't dare to do this even if you don't tell us, because we can't guarantee whether we can walk out of the tomb alive if we do this."

Old Tang raised his eyebrows and said: Do these foreigners really think they are experts in Feng Shui? He had accidentally caught a glimpse of the Zi Fu Yu, strange power and chaotic spirit that he had been talking about before in the library when he was looking for Jin Ping Mei. But this was good, at least this group of people would not have any evil thoughts towards him.

Thinking that there was nothing to gain, under the eyes of the investors and others, Old Tang quickly climbed up the bone mountain and touched the golden coffin, preparing to open the coffin. He did not notice the investors behind him looking at him at all. His eyes were full of incredible fear.

Old Tang actually misunderstood.

The reason why the investors didn't want to take action against Old Tang was not because they were worried that he had some great magic power and could kill all the mercenaries before they could do anything. It was just that an accident happened on the way to the main tomb.

Maybe Old Tang was running a little too fast and didn't pay attention. 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 his large army, the mercenary investor accidentally turned around and saw an unforgettable sight. In those hundreds of sarcophagi, countless decaying dead people were silently and silently sitting. Facing them like a pilgrim, the dead eyes under the yellow bandage are as dense as a swarm of fireflies in the darkness.

Old Tang opened the golden coffin, and sleeping inside was a shriveled mummy. There is no other elaboration to describe it, because it is just a mummy that usually appears in documentaries and archeology books, without any characteristics. Frightening.

"Heart, heart." Old Tang forced himself not to think about anything. He took out the knife in the tool bag at his waist and began to move his hands on the mummy. He gave it to this ancient person who was most likely an The emperor's mummy underwent a thoracotomy and the dry, stone-like heart in the chest was removed.

"Hey, brother, you've been doing the trivial things for me for so many years, and it's useless to bring them. Don't mind if I borrow them to make ends meet." Old Tang took the heart and looked at the unchanged mummy. Whispered something.

The mummy was looking down at Old Tang. The eye sockets that had lost their eyeballs were staring straight at his position, which made him feel a little scared. He could only mutter a few more words in a low voice: "No wonder, no wonder", turned around and locked the coffin. On.

But at the last moment when the coffin was buckled, whether it was due to the sunlight or Old Tang's eyesight, a mellow golden light flashed in the darkness inside the coffin.

Then the coffin closed, with a heavy sound like it was closing the door on an ancient and magnificent era.

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

The investor immediately came over nervously. He couldn't believe that this heart, which was hailed as the legendary 'eternal gem' by the warlords, had been obtained just like this. According to local rumors, the pharaoh in this pyramid spent so much money on it. He spent all his life to find the gem of immortality and placed it in his chest as his heart. Later, he gained the direct power and power to rule the Sudan for nearly a hundred thousand years before he grew old and was unwilling to accept it. When he died, his heart was buried with him and became history.

The investor carefully packaged the precious heart he received in a jade box, put it in his backpack and sternly told the mercenaries around him to forget about it. At the same time, he took out a satellite phone and started to communicate with people outside the pyramid.

"Remember to pay the reward into my account." Old Tang patted the investor's shoulder, then looked back at the golden coffin: "Are you just going to take the heart? That thing seems to be pure gold, why don't you carry it back together? "

"No, no, please continue to lead us out." The funder holding the phone wiped his sweat and looked at the coffin with lingering fear, wondering whether the things inside would be like those mummies in the sarcophagus area. She sat up and stared at him with golden eyes.

"Money is hard to make. Remember to give me a five-star review, dear." Old Tang sighed, took out his mobile phone and clicked the OK button to complete the task on the private custom APP of the hunter website - there is a button on the top of the main tomb. There are still some gaps in the open air where some signals can come in. The satellite phone I prepared secondhand before is useless.

But at this time, just when Old Tang was about to put down his phone, a call suddenly came in on the screen. He glanced and realized that it was an ocean call.
