Chapter 259 “The Curse of the Pharaoh”

"Introduction? Okay." Li Chongshan thought that Yan Lüge was dissatisfied with the family tour guide's explanation as if he was reciting lines. He raised his finger and pointed at the display cabinet beside him, showing a slightly proud look, "This red copper mask is from the pioneering era of the Guti Kingdom.

one of

What the general left behind was that he fought in all directions throughout his life without any defeat and was called the "Devil General". He always wore a terrifying red copper mask on the battlefield. It was once thought that it was to intimidate the enemy, but until his death

Finally, the secret was revealed——

"The 'Devil General' is actually not one person, but five people. The first generation of Devil General died in battle at the age of 36, so his eldest son took over the mask and became the second generation of 'Devil General'. His eldest son

He died in battle a few years later, but his second daughter took over his mask, followed by his nephew and his eldest grandson..."

Yan Lüge yawned: "I'm not interested, next one."

"..." Li Chongshan paused, followed suit, and pointed to a bronze mirror not far away, "The 'wheel mirror' held by the fifty-seventh Peacock King of the Maurya Dynasty. According to legend, this was the master of the resurgence of the Maurya Dynasty.

Can be directly viewed through the wheel mirror

Listen to the teachings of the peacock divine bird. Therefore, after his death, the Holy King Temple enshrined the Wheel Mirror as one of the three sacred objects. Seven hundred years ago, the Wheel Mirror was lost in the battle to defend Midu, and my ancestors subsequently

A Tianzhou merchant bought it."

"I'm not interested either, next one."

"This Humu Guqin was presented to the ancient Brahma envoy and poet Yi Li by Emperor Gu Tianzhou..."

"Next."

"This brooch was given to the fourteenth lover by the most passionate Princess Caesar in the world..."

"Next."

"..."

"More than a hundred years ago, a group of explorers entered the tomb of an ancient Nile pharaoh and saw a curse inscription in the tomb, 'Whoever disturbs the pharaoh's sleep, death will spread its wings and descend on his head.', and this

After a group of explorers left the ancient tomb, they died one after another in a short period of time, as if the curse had been fulfilled." Yan Lüge knew these mysterious rumors very well, "Blackstone Research Institute investigated this rumor a long time ago.

, but ultimately decided it was just a sensational rumor."

In order to verify his conjecture, Yan Lüge turned his head and asked Li Chongshan: "Has your family ever stolen a pharaoh's tomb?"

Yan Lu Ge:???

What……

Yan Lüge reacted: "What did your family do?"

"He rushed into the ancient tomb again, and not only took away a batch of funerary objects, but also dragged out the coffin of Pharaoh Sur 7, threw it in the basement of his house, and slept with it every day - by the way, this

The coffin is now on display in the exhibition hall.

Li Chongshan's voice was still chattering in his ears, and he didn't notice anything strange at all: "...Including the coffin, mummies, and burial objects of Pharaoh No. 7 of Sur, they are all here..."

Warning signs rose in Yan Lüge's heart, and he thought of two possibilities for a moment.

The system thinks that he has seen the target person he is looking for, so it considers the task completed.

——Either the mentally retarded system tricked him.

"It was just a rumor." Li Chongshan nodded vigorously and asked deliberately, "Do you know who was the person who organized that expedition?"

Yan Lüge's uneasiness and vigilance due to things being beyond his control subsided. Listening to Li Chongshan's words, he suddenly thought of the third possibility.

"At this time, my great-great-grandfather's son who was studying in Tianzhou and also my great-great-grandfather came back.

"However, after he slept in his coffin for seven days, my great-great-grandfather suddenly went crazy and died suddenly.

But what did he see???

Tourists? No, he has seen every tourist outside the exhibition hall and noted their appearance. If the user of the spiritual potion he is looking for is among the tourists, the system will not prompt him until now.

It is true that Yan Lüge is interested in antiques, but he is only interested in those antiques with a truly long history - among them there may be magic tools made by ancient practitioners, which have become irreparable even if they are passed down to modern times.

The remains of it, but the incomplete runes and magic circles on it can still bring a lot of inspiration to the extraordinary research of the second part.

Li Chongshan was stunned for a moment - he was not the eldest daughter of Emperor Xizawa, and he did not know that the time node of "four thousand years" meant the dividing line between the "Era of Cultivation" and the "Era of Belief".

But Yan Lüge was a little confused... This was the kind of confusion that made him one of the top three confused people in his life.

So, where exactly is the user of the spiritual potion he "saw"?!

——Either it is the effect of a supernatural ability similar to "disappearance of the sense of existence".

"But my great-great-grandfather was a staunch materialist and he didn't believe in this evil.

Yan Lüge shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't read the original report carefully."

When Li Chongshan heard this, he immediately showed a mysterious smile and pointed to his nose in front of Yan Lüge.

"Seven days later, the couple walked out of the basement alive and lived to the ages of 87 and 90 in good health, and no one in the entire Golden Castle died from it.

The system prompts: "The third phase of the task has been completed."

Tour guide? No, the reason is the same as above. He memorized the tour guide’s face as soon as he entered the hall.

"They unearthed countless treasures in the tomb, but after leaving the tomb, his teammates went crazy one after another within a week and died shouting the name of the Pharaoh. This incident was publicized by the media at the time as 'Pharaoh

The Curse' attracted a lot of attention.

“The ancient tomb that my great-great-grandfather led the team into was the tomb of Pharaoh VII of Sur.

"Like my great-great-grandpa, my great-great-grandpa was also a staunch atheist, and he was also stubborn, upright, and paranoid. He would never look back until he hit the wall.

After thinking about it, Yan Lüge directly expressed his needs: "I am only interested in things from four thousand years ago."

Following the large group of tourists, Yan Lüge turned a corner and raised his eyes.

What did he hear?

The system prompted him that the third phase of the mission was completed - that is, he found the user of the spiritual potion numbered X25662RU9.

"Hush - that's protective excavation! How can protective excavation be called tomb robbing?!" Li Chongshan defended himself subconsciously. Looking around, he found that most of the tourists were wearing headphones and focusing on explaining, but no one was there.

After noticing himself at the end of the line, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Boss, have you ever heard of a rumor - the 'Curse of the Pharaoh'?"

Half of these chapters are true, and the other half are made up by me.

Others? No, Yan Lüge glanced around the exhibition hall when the system prompt sounded. He was sure, sure, that the people in the exhibition hall were still the tourists and tour guides he had seen before, and there were no sudden disappearances or extra appearances.

stranger.

But Li Chongshan was determined to be the big boss’s loyal follower, so without even asking for a reason, he stretched out his hand and pointed: “Over there! Ahead! Turn this corner, and there is someone we brought out from the tomb of Pharaoh Sur VII.

Everything!"

"The 'Curse of the Pharaoh' is an out-of-date rumor. I don't know why it can be spread to this day. But its existence has indeed attracted many tourists to the Golden Castle..."

“At the suggestion of my great-great-grandmother, our family used alcohol distilled from high-purity spirits to completely disinfect the coffins and burial objects in the basement, and then the couple went into the basement to sleep for seven days.

"Yes." Li Chongshan looked proud, "My great-great-grandfather was the organizer, leader and sponsor of that expedition.

"He rejected the family's suggestion to burn the pharaoh's coffin and destroy all the funerary objects, and insisted on dissecting his father's body. Ultimately, it was discovered that his father died of a severe brain infection - the source of the infection was a virus brought from the ancient tomb.

The unknown bacteria will cause many mold-like spots to grow on the cerebral cortex of the infected person, eventually leading to madness and death.

"——Hey, don't tell me, even I slept on the crystal coffin when I was a child, although I was beaten by my father after sleeping.

Although the antiques introduced by Li Chongshan are relatively well preserved, they are no more than three thousand years old at most and have no value to Yanlu Ge.

For example, the existence of the Golden Castle, the origin of the "Pharaoh's Curse", and some noble gossip are true.

The three-dimensional prototype of the Golden Castle is Highclere Castle in England - yes, it is the filming location of "Downton Abbey".

The ancestor of the owner of this castle is the protagonist of "The Curse of the Pharaoh". He tried to dig up the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which led to the death of more than 20 people in the team. If you go there, you will be able to mention the strangeness of going to the basement to visit the mummies in the middle of the night.

Experience, and listen to the descendants of the survivors telling you the legendary stories of their ancestors in the first person.

It is a niche tourist attraction and is open from time to time. If you want to go there, you can make a reservation on their official website.

——Now that the source of the material has been explained, I’m going to start making it up.
