    "Boom"

    With a thunderous sound, the two stone doors finally opened in response, and Liang Pingping's hands that were stuck on the doors suddenly lost their center of gravity at this time, and he jumped forward and fell to the ground.

    "Fuck you." Liang Pingping screamed strangely, and after grinding on the ground for a while, he sat up with difficulty.

    There was a door panel against it before, and he didn't notice anything. But once he no longer relied on it, a strong sense of powerlessness suddenly hit his whole body. Even simple movements like moving his legs felt very difficult.

    "Ping Ping" Wang Changsheng was about to reach out to help him, but he immediately thought of something and slowly lowered his hand when he was about to touch his body.

    Liang Pingping glanced at Wang Changsheng weakly and said, "Brother, Uncle Zhuge has sealed all my acupuncture points. There won't be much danger for the time being. Don't worry. Let's go to the city first."

    As he spoke, he gritted his teeth again, stood up stubbornly, and then walked inside step by step while holding on to the thick city wall.

    Several people had already taken a rough look at the distribution of buildings in the city when they were on the mountain. Based on the memories in their minds, they soon arrived in front of a grand hall filled with green smoke in the middle of the ancient city.

    The entire hall is intertwined with brackets and covered with vines. It looks like it has gone through countless years. On both sides of the hall, there are nine wooden pillars. Each pillar is carved with a face, some with kind eyebrows and some with kind eyes.  Their angry eyes were wide open, and combined with the mist of smoke, it was as if dozens of faces were watching them at the same time, which made several people feel shuddering.

    Zhuge Qingshan looked at the ajar door of the palace for a while and said: "This Yelang Kingdom was famous for its mystery thousands of years ago. Everyone should be careful to avoid making the same mistakes again."

    He has been studying this site for many years, but even so, they are still in danger again and again. This incident of returning to their ancestors has taught him a huge lesson.

    Since the people are all found by him, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect them. At the very least, he must try his best to ensure their personal safety so that they can come in alive and come back alive no matter what.

    The stone steps leading to the main hall were covered with moss, and it only took a few people a short time to reach the main hall of the ancient Yelang Kingdom.

    But what they find incredible is that there are no magnificent furnishings in the main hall. Apart from the thick dust, there are only four huge jars standing on the wall and a crystal coffin placed in the middle.

    The crystal coffin is very transparent, and you can clearly see the corpse lying inside, but this corpse is a little special. The whole body is wrapped in thick strips of cloth, and it looks similar to an ancient Egyptian mummy.

    "Uncle, is this Guyelang not from China? Why was he mummified?" Tang Kun walked around the coffin a few times and asked in surprise.

    Although he is a gold-touching school guard, it is the first time for foreigners, especially mummies from ancient Egypt, to see them. This makes him curious and a little surprised at the same time.

    Zhuge Qingshan was also confused by the question. He thought for a long time before he said: "I really don't know about this, but even if it is a mummy, its color is not right."

    Like the well-known mummies, most of them are white or white-grey, but the one in front of them looks like a big cooked crab, with the whole body covered in red. Even the well-informed Zhuge Qingshan,  It's also the only one I've seen in my life.

    Tang Kun raised his head and glanced at a few people, but when he accidentally saw Liang Pingping's strange behavior, he was suddenly startled and scolded: "Pingping, what are you doing, don't touch it, you have forgotten where you got the poison.  ?¡±

    At this time, Liang Pingping was squatting on the ground, stroking the four jars on the wall. However, he did not stop after hearing Tang Kun's voice. He just smiled faintly and said, "Haha, it's okay, they are not poisonous, they are not poisonous."  Just kids."

    It was okay that Liang Pingping didn't speak. When he spoke, several people were immediately frightened. Tang Kun even ran to him in a few steps and said with concern: "Pingping, are you stupid because of poisoning? Don't  Scared me, you, what happened to you?"

    "What's wrong?" Liang Pingping glanced at Tang Kun inexplicably, and then immediately reacted and explained: "I'm talking about them. They are containers used to store mummy organs, and each one has its own  Meaning, it symbolizes the four children of the falcon-headed god Horus."

    "You, do you know this thing?" Tang Kun's eyes widened.

    Liang Pingping nodded and said: "These jars are called Canopic jars, which are responsible for storing the liver, spleen, and kidneys of the deceased."Damn it, my family and I started studying mummies when I was very young. How could I not recognize them?  "

    If it weren't for Liang Pingping's remarks, Tang Kun almost forgot that he came from a medical family. Then he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Then why is it red? Is there anything special about it?"  What?"

    "This starts with the mummy making process. Do you know how it was made?" Liang Pingping asked rhetorically.

    None of them spoke. Only Tang Kun shook his head and said honestly: "Hen."

    "Before making a mummy, all the internal organs of the deceased, such as the liver, spleen, lungs and stomach, were first removed, leaving only the heart in the body. This is because the ancient Egyptians believed that the heart is where the human soul is. Only when the soul does not leave the body can the deceased survive death.  The day of resurrection, but this mummy is the only exception." Liang Ping rolled his eyes at Tang Kun, pointed at the corpse in the coffin, and continued: "Because his heart was also taken out, but the lungs were left in.  into the body."

    "Then what's the point of doing this?" Wang Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

    Although he grew up in Kunlun Temple and has been exposed to supernatural things since he was a teenager, he also knew nothing about Western products like mummies. With Liang Pingping's explanation, he gradually developed  interest.

    "I'll start with its formation first, and then explain this later." Liang Pingping's body was very weak, maybe because he talked too much. After taking a few long breaths, he continued: "After removing all the organs,  The ancient Egyptians would wrap the body with natron, a natural substance containing hydrocarbons and sodium chloride, which can accelerate the absorption of water in the body. They usually left the body for 35-40 days until the body was completely intact.  After dehydration, the resin is evenly applied all over the body. The viscosity of the resin is used to make the white linen bandage fit tightly to the body. This step is usually repeated many times until the body is airtight, and then the bag with religious significance is placed  Place it on the mummy¡¯s chest.¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
