Chapter 555 8.73 Temple of Anubis (2)

All creatures in the world will emit psychic fluctuations as long as they are alive. Read М

This is called "thermal radiation" in later generations.

In the dim temple, Loki's direction of progress is the psychic ripples of this thin gossamer. He was only promoted to Sequence 8 by the "Red God Path" from the Bloody Creator.

In the blood mist illusion, King Lafassar crushed an ancient monster, and the body "custom-made" for him still gave him extremely powerful divine power.

Even though the blood of the "Crimson Apostle" has been compressed to a rather thin concentration by the Water of God, he can still cooperate with this ancestor's body to accurately capture the scattered psychic energy in the air.

To his surprise, the breath of a living person actually emanated from a dark ceiling.

All religious buildings in the Middle Ages would deliberately build extremely tall frames to create a sense of mystery. Observed from the peaks outside the basin, the four gods sitting side by side in the Temple of Anubis are also about 70 to 80 meters high.

Therefore, Loki used all his strength in this jump.

After diving into the deep darkness of the ceiling, he could see a long series of braziers and marble floors under his feet quickly becoming smaller, but there were no beams or pillars on the ceiling for him to stand on.

When the rising potential energy became weaker and weaker, and he was about to return to the ground, a huge suction force came from the top of his head! Then, he involuntarily turned his body upside down and fell abruptly on a hard black stone slab.

In the air of this ancient temple, there is actually a hidden space that can achieve "gravity reversal"!

After entering this deep black, the gravity under your feet will suddenly transfer to the top of your head, and then throw him into another space.

Mortals who mistakenly enter the temple will never find the correct entrance, because the portal leading to the correct path is embedded in the dark and deep ceiling.

Loki slowly stood up, and he only felt a dark scene in front of his eyes.

From time to time, the crisp sound of raindrops falling on the hard floor came to his ears, making him feel as if he was already outside.

(No, I should still be inside the temple, but the temple is a self-contained space, and it is impossible to judge the internal area based on the size of the outside.)

Looking around, he found that the twinkling above his head was not stars, but point-shaped light sources made of luminous gems.

The spiritual consciousness that was radiating touched the walls on the left and right, and he could sense that this was a stone chamber larger than the temple. After stretching out his palm, the "water drops" dripping from the top of his head to the palm were extremely heavy.

Raising his hand and looking, he found that it was round and smooth mercury.

The mercury rain falling in the stone chamber was composed of mercury.

As for his side, there were neatly arranged one after another exquisite coffins.

The scene in front of him seemed extremely strange, and seemed to be full of strange harmony.

The coffins used by the ancient Egyptians to seal the bodies were completely different from the "long wooden boxes" used by the people of Donglu.

The master sculptor with exquisite memory would carve the marble coffin into a contour close to the human body according to the pharaoh's face when he was alive.

Especially the head of the sarcophagus, which will record all the important characteristics of the pharaoh.

In this way, there is no need to open the coffin, and simply identify the carvings and paintings on the surface of the sarcophagus to identify which emperor's coffin it is.

In the previous life, Loki didn't know why the ancient Egyptian craftsmen took the trouble to make such things.

After entering this stone chamber, he finally understood.

The long dynasty lasted for nearly 5,000 years, and there were too many Egyptian pharaohs who ruled this desert. The bodies of all the deceased pharaohs are placed here. If the coffins are opened one by one, the workload is really not small.

Squatting down and observing carefully, Loki found that the mercury dripping from the ceiling would flow into the sarcophagus through the natural grooves on the top of the sarcophagus.

He casually opened the lid of a coffin next to him, and a living human appeared in front of him inside the sarcophagus.

Loki narrowed his eyes and squatted slowly.

He found that a young man in his twenties was sleeping in the coffin. He has long chestnut hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge

(No!)

(How can there be a young man with the characteristics of an Aegean resident in an Egyptian-style coffin?!)

The appearance of Egyptians is quite distinctive in human civilization. They have black hair and black pupils, thick ears and plump lips, and their skin is light golden.

But the man in the coffin at this time is a young man with obvious Sicilian style.

Their biggest feature is the fine beard near the chin that almost turns the entire cheek into iron blue.

There are also obvious regional characteristics in clothing.

A linen robe with pure white and dark red intertwined is connected by a gold buckle about the size of a fist. This look looks very similar to the common Roman nobles in film and television works.

Then a new question arises.

Why is there a body of a Roman noble lying in the Temple of Anubis deep in the black desert?

He casually opened another sarcophagus, and this time a Roman woman appeared.

Her skin was so delicate that it could be blown away, and there was no sign of decay at all. The only difference from mortals is that her face is as blue as steel. If you look closely, you can see the mercury falling from the sky gathering in the mouth of this corpse.

Under the soft skin, the mercury surges as fast as human blood.

Touching her chest, you can feel that there seems to be a "heart" beating in her chest, but this heart bursts out mercury inhaled from the mouth and nose!

The cold mercury fills the blood vessels, keeping her body cold forever.

If humans want to avoid death, they must go through metabolism. Among them, blood circulation plays a vital role. The way the Styx priests preserve corpses is to use "mercury" falling from the sky instead of blood to keep the human body running like a machine.

(It seems that what fell from the sky is not just mercury, but a medium that can carry spiritual energy. With the help of body circulation, spiritual energy can be forced into the corpse to keep the body from decaying.)

Loki gently closed the coffin lid and continued to move forward. There are thousands of stone coffins densely placed in the stone chamber.

Opening the museum casually, most of them are Romans, of course there are a few foreign faces.

Thinking of the burning animal carbon in the inner hall, the gorgeous sculpture with obvious Roman style, a huge conspiracy slowly revealed its true form in front of him.

(Could it be that this place is not the "edge of human society" at all!)

(The so-called "seclusion in the desert" is just a cover-up. The Styx priests have already mastered a set of methods to travel back and forth to civilized society at any time!)

Think carefully, this is actually the correct logic of mortals.

All the countries around the Mediterranean are connected by traveling merchants. When you master a unique skill, anyone will try every means to use the skills in their hands to gain a higher status and more capital for themselves.

Call on more social resources.

After all, people are greedy. This is a nature engraved in the bone marrow that cannot be erased!

Loki can feel his heart beating hard. A huge conspiracy is here. The true face of the pharaoh was revealed in front of him.

The neatly arranged coffins in the stone chamber formed a huge and mysterious maze.

He could feel a huge spiritual energy not far away from him, as hot as the sun.

The dim light could not reflect the distance in front of him. He held the axe tightly in both hands and moved forward step by step. In the darkness, he finally saw the source of the spiritual energy.

In front of him appeared a huge monster with a lion-like crocodile mouth.

(If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the monster guarding the pharaoh's body in the stone chamber)

Loki had no interest in knowing what this thing was. He calmly raised the axe. He just wanted to chop the weird head, but he suddenly stopped his hands.

Then a shocking roar broke out in the stone chamber.
