Chapter 38 Full Moon Advance

But what happens after we reach the end?

Thutmose III left no answer. The priests followed him silently to the west and disappeared into the depths of the desert.

"Wonderful." After the people from thousands of years ago were gone, Karl repeatedly praised: "But where are we going to find them? All the way to the west?"

Hearing what he said, I unexpectedly thought of the story of seeking scriptures from the West, and almost laughed out loud. I could only pretend to cough twice, but Meng Weiqing glanced at me.

"Only the chosen ones can receive the message and know the meaning of the message sent by the gods." Hassan said, glancing towards us. "Since everyone is unwilling to sacrifice, we are the only ones who know now.

.”

I subconsciously thought that Hassan was lying. Even if Li Yuan didn't sacrifice, the magnetic field chose him. He had no choice.

And I had an unknown feeling. When the priests were chanting, my whole body felt bad. The immersive feeling was too real. It’s impossible for me to be chosen too.

I glanced at Li Yuan quietly. This guy must have received more information. I made up my mind to ask him clearly when I get back.

"That's nonsense. You just want to trick us into taking you to the desert." The orange hair of the person who spoke was like a flame, but it was a pity that it couldn't burn under the cold moonlight.

In this restored temple, there is no wind.

"Believe it or not. The full moon will only last for seven days. If you don't follow the ritual regulations before then, you will not be able to open the treasure of the gods. The next time will be sixty years later."

As Hassan's words fell, the temple seemed overwhelmed, and the murals began to fade and peel. Only the temple that swallowed up the traces of Thutmose III was left, alone in the oasis, hidden by the desert.

gained vitality.

"White desert!" Jacqueline exclaimed.

We all looked over.

Sure enough, following the direction in which Thutmose III and others left, there was a silver-white desert in the distance of the oasis.

Under the moonlight, the reliefs on the wall changed with the light. The route of the priests and pharaohs was drawn on a map, and it seemed like we were really walking into the desert.

Although there is no basis for it, I think it should be mentioned in the Temple of Horus, one of the two temples dedicated to the nameless god by Thutmose III: the temple guarded by Set.

In the desert, he was guarded by Set, the god of desert and storms.

As the colors quietly faded away, the stones fell to the ground, and the temple returned to ruins. There was no sound, and no dust was splashed. Only the full moon still hung eagerly above everyone's heads, otherwise it would have been as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Can shook the camera at us. "Only this ruined temple was photographed, and none of those were photographed just now."

No wonder the French used rubbings to depict the zodiac signs in the Temple of Horus. Maybe the magnetic field also has an encryption function.

Now I have subconsciously attributed these unexplainable things to the magnetic field.

The map spread out by the moonlight on the temple points to the desert to the west of the Valley of the Kings. But there is nothing in the desert to the west, except for the ruins of Thutmose III's military camp. Could it be that the temple guarded by Set is there?

Wait, the desert to the west of the Valley of the Kings...isn't that the Eastern Sahara Desert? I remembered that Xia, Shang and Zhou said that the cover of this 279 operation was the [Eastern Sahara Desert Investment Investigation].

Did 279 always know the final destination?

In the silence, I only heard Hassan say: "When I was a child, the old man at home sang a nursery rhyme. 'Go to the desert, find the bones of Seth, and return the full moon that has been borrowed for sixty years.'"

As he hummed, the moonlight above his head under this gentle melody was not only not gentle, but rather threatening.

Everyone present looked a little solemn.

These people must know something that I don't know. But it's not news anymore, so I don't even bother to ask.

But obviously some people don't think this is what it should be.

Alex saw that her team was hiding something from her, so she asked: "Morgan, what does he mean? You didn't tell me why you came here at night. And why do you need a few of us to come?" She was referring to a few people.

Scientists in the United Nations team. "Don't tell me that there is a royal germ that has been dusty for many years and will spread in the Valley of the Kings."

Of course Morgan didn't answer her question.

This Alex is somewhat interesting. Although I also wanted to ask clearly, there is no need to pursue it here. So I wanted to say something to break the silence, but ended up opening my mouth and sneezing.

I subconsciously said: "Sorry."

Alex also subconsciously said: "Bless you."

We both looked at each other.

The atmosphere was completely ruined by me. Under the gaze of everyone, I rubbed my nose and muttered: "It's quite cold."

Hassan and the others wore much less clothes than we did, and they couldn't hold on anymore. He left one sentence: "I hope you will consider cooperation."

He didn't say that he had thought about how to contact him. He should have calculated that these forces would have their own methods.

Everyone watched as these moonlight priests, whose time and space were confused, walked out of a time and space that did not belong to the present. They were like believers from long ago who had walked through thousands of years and came towards their faith.

If these people hadn't just tricked me, I might have felt that history has never gone far. Now I just feel like I have become a spirit. Especially when they walked past me, Socrates whispered to me: "Look

You don’t know anything here, so you should pay more attention to yourself.”

My brows jumped. When did it turn for this guy who blasphemed the wise to talk about me?

But I have to admit that he is right, whether it is 279, Morgan Carr and others, or even Li Yuan. They have hidden too many things from me.

The miracles of the sacrifices and the full moon had faded, and the priests had withdrawn.

We walked outside in silence.

If Sir Black hadn't told us to come to the Valley of the Kings today, we wouldn't have been able to find the temple gate carrying the pig's head. But now that we've entered the temple and seen the map, we have to think about what we should use when we find the real temple.

Why should I pay tribute? After all, this is no longer a matter of carrying a pig's head.

The full moon is too heavy for this night. As the moon slowly falls and gets closer, in addition to its beauty, it also feels more shocking and oppressive.

From the beginning of the new moon to the end of the full moon, the resurrection of Leo Siris in the ancient Egyptian mythology was also broken by this sudden moon. Time in Egypt is not an absolute concept, but this also means that the moon comes too hastily.

Li Yuan walked briskly, as if there was no sense of crisis at all even though the full moon would lead to transformation.

I couldn't help but say: "Aren't you worried? I don't think the Egyptian curse is quite right."

Li Yuan said: "It's useless to worry. Even if it's not directed at me, I can't get rid of it." He accepted this kind of nonsense well. I guess it should be a habit.

"Then do you think your blood will react with the altar?" I asked in a low voice.

Li Yuan pondered for a while, as if he had never thought about this problem, and seemed to be looking for excuses to fend off me.

I wasn't in a hurry and kept walking forward. After a while, he came towards me and whispered, "I guess we'll find out soon."

I frowned, not knowing why he said that.

At this time, Li Yuan had straightened up, and he continued: "Other than reminding me that I am still alive on a regular basis, my blood has not yet developed any use."

My curiosity aroused: "Can your blood repel mosquitoes? Or can it be used as an antidote?"

This time Li Yuan's eyebrows were raised up and down, as if he was silently condemning me. He also deliberately turned his face so that I could face the questioning of his eyebrows more directly.

I was a little bit embarrassed for a moment, but I refused to be outdone, so I said, "Who knows what's going on with you? What if you are an old monster who has lived for thousands of years? It's not impossible that we were brothers to Pharaoh before."

Those two eyebrows fell back helplessly. "We have obviously met before when we were children. Do you know if I am an old monster?" He naturally mentioned his childhood now. I don't know why, but since the first time I

The breath I had been holding since I saw Li Yuan in the house in Chicago was inexplicably relieved.

I said: "Yes, yes, I know you are a good socialist young man. You should build the motherland well."

Li Yuan said seriously: "Serve the people!"

That was the first time I felt Li Yuan wink at me happily inside Yin Yuechen's shell.

It's really a wonderful feeling to let go of the old feud. Li Yuan and I didn't have any disagreements, we just had our own differences. Now that the awkwardness is over, I decided to find him and ask him what he knew as soon as I got back.

At this time, Teacher Bai called him from the front. Li Yuan winked at me and immediately followed me obediently.

On the way back, I couldn't even see any birds. It was really silent. Even the swallows went back to their graves to continue sleeping. Animals may be more sensitive to natural changes than us. It's like baboons rejoicing when the sun rises.

He beat his chest in encouragement, and now the unknown moon made the little animals retreat.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't hold it any longer. I didn't have a few steps left, and I stumbled a bit. Fortunately, Ding Ze, who was walking behind me, helped me and I didn't fall. Teacher Bai heard the noise and let me fall.

We should pay attention to safety under our feet and don't sprain our feet. I nodded repeatedly, then remembered that he couldn't see with his back to me, so I said: "Okay!"

At this time, both He Rongchuan and Lou Shiqi turned around. Maybe it was because I didn't look so good, but He Rongchuan asked with concern: "Comrade Wang, are you okay?"

Before I could answer him, He Rongchuan continued: "She is probably frightened. But she shouldn't be. Why is your face paler than when you were kidnapped by the Egyptians?"

I couldn't help but touch my face when he said it.

I can only say that the adrenaline is amazing. In fact, I was scared when I thought about it now. To be fair, who else would be dragged to the Valley of the Kings in the middle of the night and then taken to an unknown temple to see Arabs wearing ancient Egyptian costumes?

I was scared. I thought I was doing well. Who knew Egypt was such a dangerous place.

Lou Shiqi's steps slowed down, and when I walked to him, he asked me: "Is it so cold?"

I squinted my eyes and looked at him: "It's not cold at all."

He said in surprise: "Really? Do you usually walk with such shaky legs?"

"If you have time to stare at me, why not close your mouth first to keep it warm. I can hear the sound of your upper and lower teeth clicking together."

Lou Shiqi immediately pursed his lips.

Meng Weiqing said in his head: "Follow closely, don't fall behind." I also heard him mutter something about bullying honest children.

Soon we will arrive at the Egyptian guard post, and we can finally hear the sound of wind and the occasional flapping of birds' wings. I don't know whether it is because of the cold or to avoid suspicion, but there is no one manning the guard post now.

The United Nations team walked out of the valley one step ahead of us, while Teacher Bai stopped in front and looked at the mountains of the Valley of the Kings seriously.

Lou Shiqi asked in a low voice: "What is he doing?"

He Rongchuan also whispered: "He is like this sometimes. Maybe he sees something that we can't see."

Teacher Bai suddenly said without any clue: "When the full moon appears, all the stars will be dimmed."

Before I could ask, he continued: "Originally, I thought the black stars meant that the stars were darkened by the light of the full moon, but I didn't expect that it would be a scene where the stars and the full moon shine together."

Teacher Bai's tone sounded quite interesting. Yes, what do the black stars refer to?

The stars are quite bright now, and the only dim star seems to be Sirius Alpha.

"Is it possible that all the stars will eventually perish?" I asked hesitantly.

The stars are all extinguished, which doesn't really sound like an auspicious omen.

Teacher Bai shook his head. "Probably not. Maybe the curse refers to the real full moon."

Real full moon?

The curse is unclear, and what it is exactly can only be determined step by step.

"People have a close connection with the stars. Maybe the stars will give us some guidance." After Teacher Bai had seen enough, he smiled at us and turned around to follow Meng Weiqing, who was waiting for him.

I couldn't help but look back again. I don't know what Teacher Bai just saw. Anyway, I only saw the pale full moon that was about to set and the Valley of the Kings, which was covered with sackcloth and mourning under the moonlight.

Even the unexpected full moon couldn't wake this place up.

When we walked to the car, Teacher Bai said: "It seems that those people will go to the underground [Temple of Omniscience] after we leave."

Meng Weiqing answered naturally: "I guess I also want to find out the so-called 'ancient bloodline'."

Li Yuan and I looked at each other unexpectedly.

Seeing our puzzled expressions, Jiang Can smiled and said, "Mr. Bai can hear what they are saying."

I turned my head and looked at the United Nations team about a hundred meters away, and my eyes widened in surprise. Not to mention the howling wind in the valley, just from this distance, let alone the content of the words, I could hear the voices.

All are considered great.

But Jiang Can’s statement actually solved my doubts.

No wonder. In fact, starting from the Temple of Horus under the archaeological site, I had some doubts about Teacher Bai's perception. His memory and observation skills are unusual, and he seems to be able to see in the dark.

In the Temple of Horus, I had to rely on Li Yuan to help me illuminate the content of the murals, but Teacher Bai could directly point out the disharmony in the murals. Including later Sir Black showing us the rubbings of the zodiac.

And in the underground [Omniscient Temple], these are also key issues discovered by Teacher Bai. If the perceptual ability is innately sharp, but the observation and logical abilities are Teacher Bai's own abilities, I can't help but secretly admire him.

But if Teacher Bai could hear it, then he probably also heard it when I was carried away by Ali and the others just now. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Teacher Bai. I happened to meet his gentle gaze.

I smiled at Teacher Bai, but I didn't think deeply about whether these people were really sure they could keep me safe or whether they didn't care about my life or death.

Before leaving the Valley of the Kings, I looked at the night sky for the last time. The full moon was cold and out of place.

Sure enough, it was the borrowed moon. I remembered the last nursery rhyme Hassan sang that I heard when I was a child.

You have to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again. It seems that we have to go into the desert guarded by Set to return this bad debt that was given to someone on credit for sixty years.

But this borrowed moon. What should I get in return?
