bit stealing game

Chapter 81 Seth's Judgment Monument
When I woke up, it was another dusk.

First, he caught up with the storm, was chased by the ancient snake, was almost attacked by someone, and finally hit the broken wall along the quicksand.After this pass, I actually felt very uncomfortable all over, especially since there was no drip of water, and my throat seemed to be scratched by a knife.

Li Yuan was even worse. Excessive blood loss cast a layer of gray on his whole body.At one point, he was about to fall into a coma, but excessive blood loss would lead to hypoxia, and once the brain's control ability weakened in sleep, the risk would be aggravated.

Originally, I watched Li Yuan not let him fall asleep, but I fell asleep under the sun myself.When he woke up, he was covered with Li Yuan's torn coat, but he was not by his side.

I stood up abruptly.

The sun sank slowly into the sand, and there was silence all around.

This truncated wall stretches alone between the sand dunes, and the old stone bricks have been blown away by the wind and sand that started in the millennium.During the day, I still don't feel that being illuminated by the setting sun is a bit abrupt and weird.

But I didn't care to think about the dangers of the environment I was in, and my mind was full of Li Yuan.Where could he go with such a serious injury?What happened while I was asleep?We must hurry to find him.

I climbed onto the wall and looked around anxiously, but I didn't see Li Yuan's shadow. I cursed and prepared to jump down, but when I turned around, I saw a man standing under the wall.

The surprise was no small matter.I was so scared that I fell backwards and fell straight into the sand.

Li Yuan ran over clutching his stomach.

"Are you okay? Are you dizzy due to hypoglycemia?"

He tried to pull me, and I glared at him and jumped up.

"Why did you go? Running around with such a serious injury, do you know how dangerous this desert is? If you get lost, there is nowhere to find you!"

Li Yuan's injury seemed to be almost healed at this time, basically not affecting his actions.Seeing that he was fine, I first breathed a sigh of relief, and then got scared for a while.If I had woken up earlier, I might have gone to the desert to look for him all over the world by now.

I should have known that Li Yuan didn't care about the truth, but I thought he was looking for the answer with me along the way, but he already had the answer himself.

I was startled and angry, and glared at Li Yuan, who was unorganized and undisciplined.

"Didn't you come to Egypt just to seek death? So you can leave!" I threw my clothes on his face.

"I saw that there was no danger around me, so I wanted to find out if there was any water and food. They haven't found us at this time, so I guess we can only survive today on our own."

Li Yuan was only wearing an old man's shirt that was soaked in blood and was leaking everywhere, and he held it pitifully in his hand.

"You haven't rested for a long time, so I didn't wake you up." He whispered.

When I saw Li Yuan's unlucky appearance, I felt that I really shouldn't get angry with him.Even if Li Yuan came to Egypt to seek death, he has nothing to do to me.As for whether he loves me or not, it has nothing to do with me.

"Then did you find it?" I looked for him with my eyes.

Li Yuan can now be said to have a clear view.He spread his hands helplessly.

"There are only scorpions and snakes around here, and I saw a pair of desert cats in the distance."

I shrugged indifferently.Although I'm too hungry to eat a meal, I'm not so pretentious that I have to eat here.Fortunately, I put a few pieces of military chocolate distributed by 279 in my trouser pocket, as well as a lollipop, which I snatched from Lou Shiqi.Li Yuan was more on the safe side, he also brought a few compressed biscuits and a small bottle of burning knives.

Li Yuan gave me everything.

"You're prone to hypoglycemia, and it's cold in the desert at night."

I was not polite to him, but I still explained: "I can't starve to death even if I skip a meal, and the hypoglycemia is all Lou Shiqi's nonsense."

I held the lollipop and turned it around.I don't know how Lou Shiqi is doing now.

"Don't worry, Lou Shiqi should be fine. According to what you said, even if that person dragged him down, he wouldn't sink directly into the sand. Jiang Can drove there with me. With him Now, those who sneak up on you won't get any advantage, and Lou Shiqi will definitely be rescued."

It's no use worrying now, we can't protect ourselves.Having said that, I got distracted and pulled a handful of weeds growing between the bricks and stabbed my hand back, which was bad luck.

"You said, why did they want my life?" I asked.

Li Yuan didn't know either. "But I will protect you."

"Let's go." He put his clothes on me and was about to leave.I asked where to go?
"I didn't find anything to eat, but I found something interesting behind the dunes."

It turned out that after I fell asleep in the afternoon, Li Yuan not only healed the wound, but also found some water for us.After turning over the sand dunes, there is an abandoned well in the middle of several other damaged walls.

It is said to be an Arai, but in fact it can be regarded as a small pool.Sure enough, as long as you dig deep enough, there is still some water under the sand.

We walked about a hundred steps along the steps of the pool, and finally drank the clear groundwater.The water is sweet and cool.The two of us squatted by the water and ate up the supplies.Except for that bottle of burning knives.Li Yuan said, it was reserved for me to keep out the cold at night.

We didn't have a container with water on hand, but we didn't want to fight a long game.Let alone carrying this kind of man-eating desert for another day, it's just a question of whether it can pass tonight.

After washing our face, Li Yuan and I took advantage of the afterglow of the sun to investigate the surrounding environment.Walking down a circle, I found that this layout looked familiar.

"Is this a small temple?"

I tried my best to piece together the scattered relic information.

"This well was used even in Roman times! Look at the scale on the edge of this pool, which records the rise and fall of the Nile."

At that time, Egypt, as the administrative province of Rome, had to pay tribute to the suzerain.And those Romans couldn't directly ask the Egyptians to give them more or less, they had to have a basis.So I built such a pond in the temple to see the water flow of the Nile River in those years, and then collect the fruits of farmers' labor according to the irrigation situation.

As for why the pool had to be built in the temple, it was because in ancient Egypt, one of the important functions of the temple was to distribute supplies.And the common people trusted their priests more than they trusted Roman officials.

But I don't understand why there is a temple here?Even during the reign of Thutmose III, when the territory of ancient Egypt was the most extensive, this was not a place of residence.

Unless this place once existed as an important functional gathering place, people gradually settled down here.Just like the Land Reclamation Corps that used to reclaim wasteland in XJ, Karamay is now a rich city in the desert.

In ancient Egypt, only religion could attract Pharaoh to invest so much manpower and material resources.After all, cities like BJ that were born and expanded as defensive properties are still rare in the world, and Egypt has never had such a precedent.And at that time, no enemy would attack from the west of Egypt, that is, the direction of the Sahara Desert.Since there are no enemies, there is no need for fortifications.

But what kind of god would build a temple here?

Judging from the characteristics of the existing ruins, I don't think it can be ruled out that I came to an ancient Egyptian temple by mistake.However, thousands of years of wind and sand have buried the entire temple below.If it hadn't been for annoying Seth and sending us a storm in return, then these scattered ruins would not have been exposed.

Although it is a temple site, the best-preserved one may only have a broken wall that is higher than my eyebrows.It was supposed to be a mural wall, but all the murals on it had already faded in the wind and sun.

I was a little lost, but I could only circle around the plain ancient Egyptian brick wall.There is a scorpion struggling to break through the ground under the wall.I haven't seen any living things other than Li Yuan for a long time, so I took a second look.

Realizing that he was being watched, the scorpion frantically waved its pincers.To an adult, the little animal's bravado was not only harmless, but also cute.

I looked at it for a long time.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand to pinch the scorpion, and he didn't have to worry about tetanus and rabies.As soon as the scorpion was in Li Yuan's hands, he didn't dare to move it, and so did the tempura.What kind of animal nemesis is Li Yuan?

"What about the scorpion?"

"You take it first, and use it as a food reserve."

I swung Li Yuan away from the wall, picked up a twig and poked it in along the place where the scorpion crawled out. After a while, I dug out a brick.I picked up the brick and patted off the old sand attached to it, rubbed it on my pants, and finally brought it to my eyes for a closer look.

Li Yuan held the scorpion in one hand and helped me illuminate it at the right time.

I looked up at him.It was the same last week in the Temple of Horus below our archaeological team's site.It's just that at the time I was angry that Li Yuan didn't tell me that he was Yin Yuechen, but now I know the purpose of his coming here.

"Although it sounds far-fetched, this temple has probably existed for nearly 5000 years." I stood up and pointed to Li Yuan a vague inscribed mark on the brick. "This is the king's name circle of the early dynasty of ancient Egypt. It seems that this pharaoh really wants to ask the gods for credit."

However, this still does not explain why there is a temple that operated until the Roman period in this kind of desert with no villages and no shops.Could it be that during those 2000 years, priests have been practicing the worship of a certain god?
I couldn't help but think of Hassan and Laila brothers and sisters.

Next to the king's name that belonged to the ruler 5000 years ago, there is a lotus flower with sharp petals that will not open.

"Wait, this doesn't look like a brick."

Li Yuan put the light source on the broken wall, and rubbed the brick in my hand with the hand that was not holding the scorpion, rubbing a hand of dust.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the "brick" from different angles against the light for a long time before raising my head towards Li Yuan.He looked at me quietly.

"You're right, it's not a brick, it should have been part of some larger documentary object. There's an inscription on it."

I twirled my dirty fingers.

"It's a piece of lead, Set's Judgment Tablet."
