Chapter 31 The Obelisk

From the moment they stepped on the capital of Hamnata, the members of the Reincarnation Squad felt a strong malice, which always enveloped their surroundings. The surrounding stone buildings, especially the tall obelisks, were engraved with mysterious hieroglyphs, and the spire wrapped in gold reflected the brilliance of the sun. |2

"The obelisk is another architectural masterpiece in ancient Egypt and a monument to ancient Egypt worship the sun god La. In addition to the pyramid, it is the most distinctive symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization." Chen Ang read the hieroglyphs above and introduced it to Hong Fan and others.

Hong Fan tightened his black cloak and muttered: "I feel it is filled with a disgusting energy."

Chen Ang carefully observed the above records and said casually: "Of course, the text on this is a poem praising the sun god. You, a vampire, will of course feel awkward when you stand under it. If I had not controlled the energy it emits in advance, more than half of the people here would be unlucky. The energy emitted from the top of the tower would turn you into ashes."

As he said that, Chen Ang handed Zhang Ziqiang a black cloth and asked him to cover all the golden spires of these obelisks.

"Half of us are vampires. It's still early to set the sun. The sunlight shines on these obelisks. The light reflected like the dazzling sun has a lot of positive energy. For them, this is a deadly holy light. The effect is roughly that people fall into the sulfuric acid bucket. There are nine obelisks of all sizes here. The sunlight they reflects will shine on the golden spires of other obelisks, forming a reflection group, absorbing positive energy from the sunlight and accumulating it. I'm afraid Imoton will not dare to touch the positive energy accumulated over thousands of years..."

Hearing Chen Ang's words, Hong Fan couldn't help but tremble all over. He looked at these mysterious and elegant buildings in fear and whispered: "Can't you just dismantle them? Even if you cover them with black cloth, I feel awkwardly below. It's too dangerous! It's safer to dismantle..."

After hearing this, Jonathan nodded quickly and echoed: "Yes, don't move the other inscriptions or the tower body, just remove the golden spire!"

Chen Ang looked back at O'Connor and the other two. He saw Evelyn busy copying the text on the obelisk and had no reaction to Jonathan's words. He couldn't help but sneer. These so-called Western archaeologists have the same view on protecting cultural relics. Since Egypt was colonized, a large number of obelisks have been destroyed and taken away by Western colonists.

They were obsessed with the hieroglyphs on the obelisk. The mysterious and beautiful shape of the golden spire is like a pyramid. So they broke the obelisk, removed the precious golden spire, and brought back their own country to "protection". This was not their temporary practice. In fact, they remained the same until the 21st century.

If Chen Ang hadn't intervened, Evelyn and O'Connor in the original plot would have happily collected a large number of cultural relics from Rohamnata, smashed the obelisk here, pried away the gold decorations on the spire of the tower, smashed the head of the statue, stuck the murals in the stone chamber with tape, and then brought them back to London under the banner of research.

Just like their predecessors and descendants did it in Dunhuang, Angkor Wat, and in the Temple of the Youlate River.

Chen Ang said to Hong Fan slowly: "These obelisks have very precious research value, both in archaeology, theological research, and in spells and divine research. Their existence is a whole. Even without these, they are also invaluable works of art. These works of art and research value are not isolated. They are one with this city and the capital of the dead. They are a whole!"

"If you dare to touch these obelisks and destroy the overall research value here, then when I lack research objects, I don't mind studying the mechanism of destruction of positive energy on the blood clan. The research method is to hang you up, and then use these obelisks to roast you to see if you can develop resistance or the principle of the divine art of holy light that harms you..."

Hong Fan imagined this scene and became honest. He swallowed and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid that Zhang Ziqiang would not cover it tightly enough. This is a big matter related to life... I'll check it out!"

Zhang Ziqiang, who was rushing to the scene, heard this and said in confusion: "What are you checking? I have covered five or six layers. In order to prevent the wind from lifting, I also tied it with hemp ropes several times under it. It is very safe!"

After listening to Zhao Yingqi's retelling next to him, Zhang Ziqiang pondered instead. He looked up and asked, "You mean, the obelisk here may be a means reserved by the ancient Egyptians to prevent Imodon? Then can we..."

"No" Chen Ang guessed what he wanted to ask and rejected it in one verbal order.

He explained: "The ages of these obelisks are quite old. Although they were formed in different ages, the earliest two were far earlier than the thirteenth and fourteenth dynasties where Imodon was buried. In other words, Imodon knew their existence and might even have personally participated in the repair work. If he wanted to use this to trick him, there was almost no possibility of it."

Chen Ang stroked the stone tower of the obelisk and said quietly: "Also, Hamnata is the tomb of pharaohs of all generations. It was already a forbidden area in the era of Imoton. It has experienced a very long history. Do you think there is an evil existence like Imoton suppression?"

Zhang Ziqiang suddenly said in horror: "What do you mean?"

Feeling the huge energy contained in the stone stele body, Chen Ang smiled and said, "I say that these obelisks have a longer history than Imoton, so what were they used for before Imoton? The biggest function of obelisks is to suppress evil and protect the Egyptians at that time. So what evil did they suppress before Imoton?"

Everyone in the Reincarnation Squad was shocked. Looking back, although there was a villain Imodon in the mummy plot, will the main god follow the plot of the movie after turning this plot into reality?

According to Zhang Ziqiang's experience, most of the plot world created by the main god is based on logic and reality to supplement the gaps that are not described in the plot. Then there are too many blank historical time in the pharaoh's tomb of the Capital of the Dead. I'm afraid the main god cannot tell the truth about how many secrets are hidden here.

"If these obelisks are destroyed! Then the balance between the yin and yang surfaces of Hamnata will also undergo huge changes. This change is enough to destroy the balance that time precipitates here... During the day, this is the temple of the Egyptian gods, and at night, this is the sleeping tomb of the Pharaoh. The power contained in the yin and yang surfaces has been formed here for thousands of years."

"If anyone destroys these obelisks and destroys the temples of the gods on the sun, the disturbed Pharaoh's undead will be irresistible, and the unbalanced Hamnata will become your burial place."

Chen Ang smiled and said, "Similarly, the time when this short curse is weakened will disappear due to the destruction of balance." He looked at the huge ruins of the city and said to Zhang Ziqiang and others: "The reason why this is so quiet here is because the curse that protects it during the day and is weakened to the lowest level due to the changes in the celestial phenomena."

"If you underestimate this city because of this, then you will soon see the terrible power accumulated here after thousands of years."

After hearing Chen Ang's words, Zhang Ziqiang and others became honest and stopped interfering in the cleanup of Hamnata by leaders Chen Ang.

Terence only smiled at this time, and they even said hello and called Chen Ang away and asked in a low voice: "What we are going to do next is much more serious than this. You won't be able to do anything after hearing what you said to them!"

Chen Ang sneered: "What trouble can a few rotten bones that have been dead for more than two thousand years, and a few little gods settled down? I just don't want them to touch my things randomly." Chen Ang looked around the ancient city half-buried under the yellow sand and nodded and smiled: "The first time I saw this, when I saw these mysterious magic runes, accumulated thousands of years of divine energy and blessings, as well as the souls and mummies of the pharaohs, I decided that this would be my city. All valuable things are my research objects and property."

Terence nodded and replied, "There are corpses and souls of eleven pharaohs from fourteen dynasties buried here. Each of them is the greatest priest in Egypt. They are favored by the Sun God, and their souls are extremely powerful. There are also many pharaohs who are proficient in Egypt's culture, writing and mystery. Among them are the most powerful priests and star wizards, and even brutal pharaohs who are proficient in curses and black magic."

"The Egyptians at that time respected and feared them. They respected the sacredness of Pharaoh, and feared the brutality, power and authority of Pharaohs, so they built this capital of the dead, so that the Pharaohs could still rule the world of the dead after death, and avoid those cruel pharaohs coming out to persecute them. Compared to those tyrants of Pharaohs in the capital of the Dead, Imoton was like a child playing house."

"Is this what you tomb guardians have passed on?" Chen Ang showed a playful smile and asked casually.

Terence fought a cold war and replied respectfully: "Yes, my master. The biggest task of the tomb guardians is to appease the undead of these brutal pharaohs, prevent them from rushing out of the capital of the dead in anger and re-ruling Egypt. And Imoton is only the most dangerous one, not the most powerful one, because he never forgets his curse, and he always wants to destroy Cairo."

"And most pharaohs are in a quiet sleep. As long as they don't anger, it's relatively safe."

Chen Ang thought for a moment, suddenly looked up and said, "These are excellent materials and experimental subjects! Each pharaoh buried a large number of loyal guards and slaves. They took more precautions for their own burials, placed a large amount of wealth in the capital of the dead, and the most powerful and vicious curse. The Egyptian Lord God also cursed us who destroyed and entered here rashly."
