Chapter 135 The Puzzle of the Sphinx
"No, no, it's impossible." Toth seemed a little disbelieving, she looked at Xia Lian, "This must be your illusion!"
"Thoth." Horus said slowly, "I trust him."
Thoth looked at Horus.
"Didn't you see the brilliance just now?" Horus murmured softly.
A little astonishment appeared on Toth's face, "Isn't that your divine power?"
"What was gouged out was the left eye that symbolizes the moon. It wasn't daytime. How could I have released such a powerful explosion." Horus said.
Toth stared at Xia Lian, "Aren't you human?"
Xia Lian shrugged, "It's not impossible if you think so."
Toth fell silent. He knew the existence of extraterrestrial life, and Apophis came from outside the territory, so she accepted it quickly.
After a while, she bowed her head to Xia Lian and said, "I apologize for what I just said.
I hope you understand too, after all, we can't go wrong right now.
This is Horus' only chance of victory.
If she lost, then Egypt might indeed be under the brutal rule of Seth. "
Xia Lian raised her eyebrows and tilted her head, teasingly said: "You are similar to the god in my impression."
After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, if it were me, I would do the same.
Also, I'm not that stingy. "
"Your size matches your territory," Thoth praised.
For a moment, Xia Lian looked at Toth, whose face was completely different from the one just now, speechless.
"Where is the two-faced crown?" Horus asked.
"Inside the pyramid that Osiris built for himself, however, there is a problem. Inside, there is a sphinx.
】
Her claws are strong enough to tear us all apart. "
"Sphinx, is that the Sphinx?" Xia Lian asked.
Toth nodded.
"You are the God of Wisdom, you should be able to answer the puzzles it raises, right?"
"Remove should, because this word is an insult to me." Toth said confidently.
Horus smiled, "I believe in you."
He looked at Xia Lian, "Do you want to go with us?"
"Of course, it's not always possible to enter the tomb of the first pharaoh of Egypt." Xia Lian laughed.
"Unfortunately, my father didn't have time to go in." Horus said in a low voice.
Xia Lian raised his hand, and the map of Egypt appeared in front of them.
"Now, mark the location."
Toth stepped forward almost without any hesitation, and clicked a location on the map.
It's very close.
So Xia Lian let the base move forward at full speed, while Thoth used the medicine he brought to start treating Horus' eyes.
The potion contained powerful moonlight power, and the lost eyes were growing slowly at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
When his eyes were almost recovered, the base car had almost reached its destination.
Pyramid of Osiris.
It was a huge pyramid hidden in a secret place in the rainforest.
Unlike the dilapidated pyramids corroded by time that Xia Lian had seen in the 21st century, this pyramid was very spectacular.
The metal-like material has many peculiar patterns on it, like the buildings left by aliens. The civilization built by the gods using the fifth element has their own advanced nature.
Egyptian pharaohs attached great importance to death, and would start building pyramids and put important things in them before they died.
Of course, they are the only gods who are built in the pyramid now. It seems that this way they can get closer to the god Ra.
Horus stepped forward, and the pyramid seemed to feel the blood of the descendants of Osiris. The stones of the pyramid slowly opened to one side, revealing a passage.
Xia Lian and the others entered the passage.
Entering the pyramid is quite simple, perhaps because there is a powerful monster stationed inside, so there are no too difficult mechanisms designed.
The Sphinx in the population of Horus and others is a monster with corresponding legends in Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology.
It has magical powers, and she will ask any interlopers a riddle.
As long as it can be solved, the Sphinx will disappear, and if it cannot be solved, the Sphinx will bring death.
But seeing Horus and Thoth's apprehension, if they can't answer, this Sphinx should get some kind of power bonus, to the point where even the gods are afraid.
It's normal to think about it. After all, they are guarding the tomb of the pharaoh. If the strength is not strong, how can they guard the treasure of the pharaoh.
They entered the depths of the tomb, where there are many metal obelisks and walls with metal structures, and the energy walks along the lines on these metal walls.
"What about that monster?"
Toth put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly and asked, as if he had already won the victory.
As its words fell, the surrounding ground began to shake, and the obelisk began to emit brilliance, and finally condensed on their only way.
Gradually, a translucent monster slowly appeared in front of them. Its body was huge, several stories high, with a lion-like body, a human face, and a pair of wings.
It wears the classic hair accessories of Egyptian pharaohs on its head.
It slowly opened its eyes and scanned the crowd present.
"Intruders, you have entered an inaccessible forbidden area, now, you have to answer one of my riddles, if you can solve it, I will let you go.
If you can't solve it, you will pay with your life"
Toth put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows and said, "But it doesn't matter."
The Sphinx stared at Thoth, "You are Thoth, the god of wisdom, right? You are a very rare guest.
You have the whole of Egypt in your head, so I won't ask you intellectual questions. "
It raised its hand, and the light condensed into two people, and behind them, the metal wall began to change, revealing two roads.
"There are two roads here, one leads to the interior of the tomb, and the other leads to death
And there are two people here, one who can only tell the truth and the other who can only tell lies.
You need to find the right way by asking. "
"That's it?" Toth was slightly disdainful, "I only need to ask three sentences to get the answer."
Sphinx slowly raised the corner of his mouth, "I can only ask one question."
Toth frowned slightly.
"interesting."
"My time is limited." Sphinx raised his hand, showing its sharp claws, "I have never killed a god before."
Horus couldn't help looking at Toth, "Toth, can you do it?"
"Don't worry, let me think about it." Toth fell into thinking.
But just as she was thinking, Xia Lian slowly walked towards one of them, and pointed at him to the other.
"Will he tell me"
Xia Lian pointed to one of the paths.
"Is this the right way?"
The man looked at the person Xia Lian pointed at, then at the road, shook his head and said.
"will not."
Xia Lian raised his hand, looked at the Sphinx, and pointed to the path just pointed.
"It's the right path."
"Xia Lian!" Horus shouted anxiously, "Thoth hasn't spoken yet, why did you answer it yourself!?"
Then, she looked at Toth, and saw that she was looking at Xia Lian in a daze.
"There is a sense of disbelief and...frustration in the eyes."
When Horus was stunned, the Sphinx let out a roar.
"Damn it, human! Who allowed you to answer!
"
But with this roar, the Sphinx disappeared without a trace, and the other road was also closed, replaced by the road that Xia Lian pointed to.
Horus didn't react for a while, she looked at Thoth.
"Toth, this is us, is the answer correct?"
Toth didn't answer, just walked into it silently, without saying a word.
How could Horus not know that they had succeeded at this moment.
With a look of joy on her face, she and Xia Lian followed behind Toth.
Walking on the corridor, Horus asked Xia Lian curiously.
"How did you figure it out?"
Xia Lian had heard this question before, but he really didn't know the answer.
No matter how smart a person is, it takes a certain amount of time to think about a problem, and so does Toth.
It just so happened that Xia Lian had a lot of time. He went back to the future, thought for a while, and then returned to this era.
So it seemed that Xia Lian solved the problem almost instantly.
Xia Lian smiled and began to explain her logic.
"It's a simple question of logic.
Let us assume that A is telling the truth and B is lying.
I pointed to a road, facing A, and asked "Will B tell me that this road is correct".
Assuming that the road I point to is just right, how will A answer? "
Horus thought for a while, "B is a liar and will not tell you that the way is correct, so A will say that B is not.
"Then conversely, what if I ask the same question to B?"
"A is telling the truth and will tell you that the way is correct, but B is telling lies, and he will tell you that A is not."
"Yeah, so no matter whether I ask A or B, as long as the way is correct, they will answer no."
"However, I still don't understand." Horus frowned, "You don't know if the path is correct?"
"The same logic." Toth, who was walking in front, explained, "If the way is incorrect, A will ask you, and B will tell you that the way is correct, so A will say that B will.
If it is B who is asking, A is telling the truth and will not tell you that the way is correct, but B is lying, so B will say that A will.
If the way is wrong, both A and B will answer yes.
So, the other way is the right one.
It doesn't matter whether the person inquiring is telling the truth or lying, and whether the path pointed to is correct or incorrect.
The key point is affirmation and negation. If the answer is affirmative, then go the opposite way. If the answer is negative, then go the path pointed out. "
Horus's head was not very bright, he stroked it for a while, but finally gave up.
he nodded.
"sharp."
The tunnel is deep and has many twists and turns, but fortunately there are no particularly dangerous traps or the like.
Soon, they entered a relatively spacious space.
This should be a square.
In the middle stands a metal obelisk.
The shape of the obelisk is a square column with a pointed top, which gradually shrinks from bottom to top, and the top is shaped like a pyramid tip, which is often wrapped in gold.
The sunlight refracted by the opening above hits the tip of the stele, which shines like a dazzling sun.
The reflection refracted by the tip of the stele is like a pointer pointing to the Egyptian time below.
The most eye-catching thing is the half-open door facing them, which should be the main tomb of Osiris, and the treasure of Osiris is also stored in it.
Horus' breathing route stagnated, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.
But the next moment.
"boom!"
A spear from nowhere came from one side, and Horus reacted quickly. He raised his hand to block it, but was thrown directly to the wall on one side by a huge force. muffled sound.
The walls were dented a little, and Horus slid down from the wall in pain.
She looked at the people coming, and in an instant, everyone's breathing stagnated.
It was a middle-aged man with short hair, wearing an Egyptian-style armor and holding a spear. He looked like a brave warrior. There was a sharp murderous look in her eyes, as if hiding a thousand troops Kazuma.
"Seth." Horus called out the man's name with a little difficulty.
As her words fell, a group of soldiers with the heads of cows and crocodiles slowly appeared around Seth, surrounding them.
"Thank you for bringing me here, my lovely nephew." Seth smiled, but his tone sounded strange, "It seems that I made the right choice to let you go, the dog will find the bone automatically. "
Seth looked at Toth, "Thank you also for our knowledge base in Egypt, the God of Wisdom, for cracking the mystery of the Sphinx and allowing us to enter here."
"How do you know this place?" Toth looked at Seth and asked.
"You are very wise, Thoth," Seth said quietly, "but wisdom also makes you too conceited.
The tomb of Osiris has been built for more than 100 years. Although few people know its exact location, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. It is not difficult to find it.
The royal power is not in the palace, so it is almost unnecessary to think about it, it must be in this place.
What you left behind in the Millennium Tree to confuse us is alluring and very real.
But what did I do wrong to make you think that I am the kind of foolish fool who will be played around by you? "
Seth walked towards Horus, looked down at her, "You are as stupid as your father."
Xia Lian looked at Horus, then at Seth, with a strange expression on his face.
Because at this moment, whether it is these gods or the soldiers brought by Seth, no one's eyes are on him.
It seemed that he, a human being, was almost a dispensable ant to them, not worth mentioning at all.
He silently turned it on and came to the optical invisibility. Unsurprisingly, they didn't notice that there was one person missing here at all.
"You're so arrogant." Xia Lian murmured in a low voice.
He looked at the half-open tomb, "However, it's just what I want."

Thoth looked at Horus.

A little astonishment appeared on Toth's face, "Isn't that your divine power?"
