Chapter 231

Islam is so arrogant, but the Egyptian gods did not respond at all…

This shows what?

This shows that the Egyptian gods are extremely weak and urgently need him to send warmth.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xu no longer wanted to play, and pulled Laura and Ammanette all the way west, into the Sahara Desert west of Cairo.

Known as the Great Desert, the Sahara Desert is one of the most inhospitable places on earth for living things to grow.

In addition to yellow sand here, it is still yellow sand.

Ordinary people who are not prepared to come here are absolutely dead.

But Li Xu and his party did not have any ordinary people.

Needless to say, Li Xu.

Laura crossed the Himalayas at the age of nine, and hiked the Sahara Desert at the age of fourteen. When she came to the Sahara Desert, Laura felt as if she had returned home.

And Ammanette, who acts as a guide, is a real mummy, not even a human being.

Such a combination is of course unimpeded in the Sahara Desert. After only seven days of walking, they found the legendary city of the undead, Hamna Tower.

“That’s it?”

Standing on a sand dune, Li Xu frowned and looked at the defeated city not far away.

It was dilapidated, the building was severely eroded by wind and sand, and more importantly, there was no energy reaction at all. It was an ordinary abandoned ancient city.

“Master, Hamnata was not like this before.”

It is related to his own life, Ammanette quickly explained: “In our time, Hamna Tower was the most important place for worshiping gods in Egypt, and the inheritance of Egyptian priests was also held here, Hamna Tower collected The two most important ritual codes in Egypt, the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun.”

“Back then, I was defeated by the high priest Imerton with the Golden Sun Sutra. This sutra contains the boundless power of God Ra, and it is said that it can resurrect the dead…”

“Wait a minute.” Li Xu waved his hand, his face was a little weird, “You just said, who defeated you?”

“Imorton, he was the high priest of Egypt at that time.”

Mentioning the name of the enemy, Ammanette gritted her teeth.

If it wasn’t for Imerton, she would be the first female pharaoh in Egypt, instead of turning into a mummy neither human nor ghost like now.

“Is it really Imerton?”

Li Xu’s expression became even weirder.

Imerton is the villain in “The Mummy 1”, because he stole the Pharaoh’s love concubine and was made into a mummy.

Unexpectedly, it was this guy who defeated Ammanette.

From this point of view, the unlucky pharaoh who was cuckolded by Imerton and then killed by Imerton should be Ammanite’s younger brother.

Thinking of this, Li Xu could only feel that the story of the Egyptian court was so exciting, and shared the good news with Ammanite.

Hearing that her hated younger brother had been greened and killed, and that her enemy, Imerton, had been tortured by insects and made into a mummy, Ammanite was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed.

As long as her enemy had a worse life than her, she would be happy, especially happy.

Laura had been taking pictures of the ruins of Hamna Tower before. After hearing this exciting little story, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Li, in this way, Emerton’s body is inside Hamna Tower? How about we Go in and have a look?”

“That’s right…” Ammanet had a schadenfreude smile on the corner of her mouth, “I’m going in and throwing away Imerton’s ashes.”

“It’s too late, Imerton’s ashes have already been lifted.”

Li Xu stroked his chin and looked thoughtfully at the buildings in Hamna Tower that had been eroded by wind and sand.

He probably knew why Hamnata became like this.

The plot of “The Mummy 1” took place in the middle of the 19th century, about sixty or seventy years from now. It may be since then that the Hamna Tower has been damaged, and the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun inside have also been destroyed. take away.

“unlucky!”

Li Xu shook his head.

He came to Hamna Tower mainly to borrow some divinity from the Egyptian gods.

But now that the Hamna Tower was destroyed, and the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun were gone, he didn’t know how to find those Egyptian gods.

After thinking about it, Li Xu asked Anmanette if he could not come here in vain.

Ammanite shook her head: “Master, you have also seen that the Egyptians have forgotten the gods, and there are temples of foreign gods everywhere. In this case, I don’t know how to contact the gods.”

“Perhaps, the gods have given up on the Egyptians and returned to their divine domain.”

While speaking, Ammanette hesitated to speak.

“If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don’t play tricks.” Li Xu glanced at her.

“Yes, master.”

Ammanite’s body trembled a bit, and after careful consideration, he said, “Master, if you want to find gods, why don’t you try Islam, they seem to have many temples.”

“Because I can’t beat it.”

Li Xu shrugged.

“Ah!” Ammanette was stunned.

“Just kidding.”

Li Xu smiled and looked into the distance: “Those temples are just empty shells. I have tried it a long time ago. The gods behind Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism are not there.”

“I guess, maybe because it’s the Dharma-ending era and the aura is sluggish, those gods all ran away with buckets.”.

Chapter 316

Since the Egyptian gods could not be found, Li Xu’s plan of borrowing divinity naturally fell through.

Throwing Ammanite near the Hamna Tower and ordering her to continue searching for relevant clues, Li Xu and Laura returned to London by private plane.

Cairo is 3482.44 kilometers away from London. At the cruising speed of Laura’s Boeing bbj, it will take about five hours.

There is still plenty of time.

Laura simply took a shower on the plane, and when she came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a thin black suspender nightdress.

“good body!”

Li Xu understood such an obvious hint in seconds, opened a bottle of red wine immediately, and poured a glass for Laura.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Laura didn’t have the shyness of a little girl, she sat openly opposite Li Xu, and while reaching out to take the red wine glass, she asked, “Li, what are your plans for the future?”

“Just unemployed, no plans yet.”

Li Xu shrugged.

Due to Ammanette’s reasons, he hasn’t joined the job yet, and the Bo Jian Department is gone.

From this point of view, he can also be regarded as unemployed due to force majeure.

“If you don’t mind, you can come to Crawford Manor to live for a while. My family is quite big.”

Laura’s slender and straight thighs were folded together, and she raised the red wine glass and took a sip, as if casually said.

“Uh……”

Hearing this familiar line, the corners of Li Xu’s mouth twitched.

I didn’t expect that.

Laura said what he often said today, and said it to him, it feels… weird.

thump!

thump!

At this time, due to changes in the external airflow, the fuselage of the Boeing bbj bumped a few times.

Laura had been sipping red wine.

Due to the shaking of the fuselage, his hand trembled suddenly, the goblet tilted slightly, and the rose-colored red wine fell onto Laura’s delicate collarbone, and slid down along that fair skin.

The average woman may be a little panicked in the face of such an accident.

Laura smiled, wiped a little red wine on her collarbone with her index finger, put it in her mouth and sucked it, and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Li Xu.

“All right.”

Li Xu put the red wine glass on the table and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

 …

As a well-known adventurer, Laura has excellent physical fitness and firm belief.

During the five-hour flight, Laura challenged Li Xu, and she was defeated repeatedly, becoming more and more courageous.

It wasn’t until the plane landed at London Heathrow Airport that Laura breathed out and said, this time it doesn’t count, we will fight next time.

 …

“Miss Laura.”

At the exit of Heathrow Airport, the old butler in suits and leather shoes with meticulously combed white hair waited for a long time, when he saw Laura come out holding Li Xu’s hand, bent down and opened the door of the extended Lincoln car beside her.

“Li, this is Winston the butler, an English gentleman who has dedicated his life to our family.”

“Grandpa Winston, this is my friend, Li Xu.”

Laura’s face was radiant, and she held Li Xu’s hand intimately, introducing to the two parties who didn’t know each other.

“Hello, Butler Winston.”

The name ‘Winston’ sounded familiar, and Li Xu immediately thought of his old acquaintance at the Continental Hotel.

Not to mention, with his straight back and sharp eyes, maybe the old butler was also a legendary killer when he was young.

“Mr. Li, nice to meet you.”

The old housekeeper didn’t know that Li Xu had so much inner drama, so he greeted him kindly, then sat in the driver’s seat and started the car slowly.

The old housekeeper is an old driver, and he drives fast and steadily.

half an hour later.

The car left the city center and came to the Crawford Manor in Surrey.

As the hereditary earl entrusted by Edward VI, the Crawford family has been passed down for six hundred years, and Laura is the eleventh generation countess of the Crawford family.

Such a long inheritance, to put it elegantly, means that the Crawford family has a lot of historical heritage and is a hereditary old aristocrat.

In layman’s terms, the Crawford family is very rich.

For example, the Crawford Manor not only occupies a huge area, but also has originality in every place. Rare works of art are hung in the halls and corridors, and you can enjoy Monet’s self-portrait when you go to the toilet.

It’s outrageous!

To Li Xu, money is just a number. What he is entangled with is not this, but what is so strange about the ancestors of the Crawford family that he could even think of hanging a self-portrait of Monet in the toilet.

This rich and dazzling person is very hellish, and he can’t even think of it if he is not crazy.

At dinner, Li Xu’s question was answered.

Laura’s assistant, Bryce, has a bad mouth, looks like an engineering nerd who is not good at words, but he is actually a chatterbox.

During a meal, Bryce used his unique rap talent to tell anecdotes about the Crawford family, including Monet’s self-portrait in the toilet.

The story is bloody.

Probably Monet, the founder of Impressionism, and Grandpa Laura’s grandfather were rivals in love, and they both pursued a beautiful and generous noble girl.

As a result, Grandpa Laura’s grandpa failed, and Monet embraced the beauty.

It was nothing.

The main reason was that the nobles at that time had the habit of subsidizing painters. What Monet usually ate, drank, and painted were all paid by Grandpa Laura’s grandpa.

Use my money to pick up the girl I like?

The old man became more and more angry, and in a fit of anger, he hung Monet’s self-portrait in the toilet, and asked future generations not to take it off.

“This……”
