Chapter 815 Moon God Temple

Its daybreak.

The sun shone through the window, and Laura opened her misty eyes, glanced at her room, and realized it wasn't her own room, but she quickly remembered.

This is Jon's bedroom in his new home.

Get up, take a shower, wash your hair, let loose your long hair, put on a suspender skirt, revealing two long legs, and go downstairs in slippers, "Jon, Jon, are you there?" Laura shouted.

When walking downstairs, Laura heard some voices, walked to the door of the kitchen, and saw Jiang Hao cooking, Laura leaned against the door, feeling a sense of happiness in her heart, her mother died very early, and her father disappeared at the age of 13 , although she has always been taken care of by a guardian and housekeeper, and she has no worries about food and clothing, but she still can't find the warmth of her family.

But seeing this scene, she suddenly had a warm feeling of home, which is really rare.

Jiang Hao turned around and smiled at Laura, Laura smiled back, walked over and hugged Jiang Hao's waist from behind, pressed against Jiang Hao's back tightly, and smelled the smell of the man with his eyes closed.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Hao asked.

"hungry."

Breakfast was ready, and the two were eating in the restaurant. Suddenly Laura's cell phone rang, and Laura picked it up to answer. It was Horry who called, "Laura, I didn't bother you."

"I'm having breakfast," Laura said.

"I have a piece of news to tell you that there was an earthquake in Greece two days ago. Some people found several exposed buildings on the seabed off the coast of Santorini. It is suspected that they are ancient sunken islands. Some people have already begun to salvage the treasures there. , are you interested?" Horry said.

This is the task Laura gave Holly. Wherever there is a place in the world where you can explore and hunt for treasure, you must notify her as soon as possible.

"Is it a sunken ancient building in Greece? It doesn't feel very meaningful." Laura said.

Jiang Hao, who was eating next to him, heard the conversation between the two clearly, and immediately thought of the plot of the ruins in the Greek sea. Isn’t this the plot of the Moon Temple in the second part of Tomb Raider? Temple, and led to the legendary Pandora's box.

Pandora's Box is definitely a mysterious treasure. My mission is to explore and collect mysterious treasures. How can I miss such an opportunity.

"Laura, I think you can go and have a look." Jiang Hao said immediately.

Laura looked at Jiang Hao, "Are you interested?"

"I suddenly remembered some materials I had read. There are rumors that Alexander the Great once placed most of the treasures he looted in Egypt, and some of the more precious ones were placed in the Temple of the Moon. Later, the Temple of the Moon was sank. When it entered the bottom of the sea, Alexander’s treasure also disappeared, so we might as well go and see, in case we can find the legendary Temple of the Moon God.”

Hearing what Jiang Hao said, Laura immediately became interested, and said to the phone: "Horry, book us a plane ticket immediately, I want to go to Greece with Jon, and ask the Charlotte Auction House Greek branch to send a letter The salvage ship is in the past, prepare the equipment, and I am ready to participate in the treasure hunt and salvage."

"I'll arrange it," Horry said.

After breakfast, the two came to the library of the University of London together. The Senate Building Library is the main library of the University of London and one of the largest libraries in the UK, with a collection of more than 6 million volumes.

Here, Jiang Hao and Laura found a large number of books about Alexander the Great and the Temple of the Moon, many of which mentioned the records that the island where the Temple of the Moon is located sank under the sea. Laura said with some excitement: "The Temple of the Moon is the place where Alexander the Great A place where precious treasures are kept, and if we can find it, it will be a real fortune."

Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC, the king of the Kingdom of Macedonia, a famous military strategist and statesman in the ancient history of the world, the head of the four greatest military commanders in European history, the other three are Hannibal Bacca, Kai Caesar and Napoleon.

He once studied under the famous ancient Greek scholar Aristotle, unified the entire territory of Greece, swept across the Middle East, occupied the entire territory of Egypt, smashed the Persian Empire, and marched to the Indus River Basin. The four ancient civilizations in the world occupy three of them.

If you don’t know it yet, let me tell you a familiar one. The K of clubs in playing cards is based on Alexander the Great, the K of diamonds is Caesar, and the K of spades is King David, the father of King Solomon of Israel. Familiar, have you heard of Michelangelo's "David" statue, the one of Lujiji, that is King David. Red peach K is the French Emperor Charlemagne.

In fact, it is more than that. It is also mentioned in the movie that Alexander the Great conquered countless countries and plundered a lot of wealth during his campaigns. Legend has it that he once got Pandora’s Box, but because he thought it was an ominous thing, he ordered People hid Pandora's Box, but these were not recorded in the materials they read.

the next day,

Jiang Hao and Laura got on the plane to Greece, and after arriving in Greece, they went to Santorini Island. Here, Laura and Jiang Hao saw the salvage boat rented by the auction company. There are two helpers.

The salvage ship is driving on the sea, the sky is blue, and the sea is also blue. From time to time, seagulls fly by, the sun shines on the sea, and the sea is shaking gently, as if in a cradle, making this place look warm and cozy.

However, after traveling for tens of nautical miles, the number of ships moored in this sea area suddenly increased. They were all salvage ships that came to hunt for treasure, and each one was doing salvage operations.

suddenly,

Someone on the boat shouted, "Look, they have something salvaged."

Several people looked at it one after another, and found that the salvage ship had pulled up an iron cage. There were many clay pots and vessels in the cage, and there was something that seemed to be a statue. Jiang Hao could see that half of the statue was missing, but the carving was indeed very exquisite. .

"Shall we find a place to go into the water?" Laura asked enthusiastically.

Jiang Hao looked around and saw that there were all salvage boats, which almost occupied this area of ​​the sea. Even if there were things, they might have taken them all away, and he remembered that the Moon God Temple didn't seem to be in this area.

"Don't worry, let's look at the map first." Jiang Hao said.

The two returned to the cabin. Jiang Hao opened the map of the sea area, and took out a map of ancient Greek temples found in the London library. He looked at the map carefully and thought about it. At the same time, he recalled the plot in the movie and the map in front of him. Compare them one by one.

But he knew that some things in the movie could not be fully believed and could only be used as a reference.

After calculating several directions, Jiang Hao took out a stack of papers and started to calculate. Laura looked at him curiously and asked, "Jon, what are you calculating?"

"Latitude and longitude coordinates and changes in ocean currents in this sea area." Jiang Hao said without raising his head.

Laura suddenly had a feeling of ignorance. There is too much knowledge that needs to be mastered in archaeological treasure hunting. She has been studying hard during this time, and she thinks she is very smart, but now it seems that the gap with Jiang Hao is still very small. Big.

After a while, Jiang Hao showed a confident smile on his face, looked up at Laura and said, "Laura, maybe we can really find the Moon God Temple."

"Really, where?" Laura asked excitedly.

Jiang Hao drew a circle with a pencil at a certain position on the satellite map, "It's right here."

Laura and his boat left this sea area and sailed for dozens of nautical miles. There were no ships in this sea area at all. The salvage ship stopped at the coordinates above the latitude and longitude given by Jiang Hao.

"Rexos, please wait for us here." Laura said.

The old captain nodded, "No problem, Miss Laura."

Laura tied up her hair, put on a bright silver diving anti-pressure suit, and came out. Jiang Hao also changed into equipment, with a large package on his back, a dagger on his leg, and an oxygen tank. An assistant put down the underwater thruster, Jiang Hao and Laura glanced at each other by the side of the boat, compared with each other, put on the respirator and turned over into the sea together.

Grabbed the underwater propeller, turned on the headlights, and dived into the water. When they were on the boat, they had already measured with instruments. The depth of this sea area was about 200 meters. The two dived all the way with the underwater propeller.

The water is dark and cold,

A huge devil fish swam by, Jiang Hao and Laura looked at each other, the two continued to dive, they saw a huge trench surrounded by strange rocks, Jiang Hao gestured to Laura, the two People dive toward the trench.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed from the side, and Laura was startled. It was a huge great white shark. The great white shark is a beast in the sea. Bite off a person's thigh in one bite.

Seeing the great white shark approaching, Laura immediately became cautious. She knew that as long as there were no wounds and bloody smell on her body, and these sea beasts were not provoked, under normal circumstances they would not take the initiative to attack humans.

But what worries Laura is that the great white shark has no intention of leaving, but is getting closer and closer to them.

Jiang Hao looked at the great white shark and didn't plan to talk to it at first, but now he was afraid that the great white shark would hurt Laura. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and activated the animal communication ability.

The great white shark felt the ripples emanating from Jiang Hao's body, and was immediately attracted. It swam from Laura to Jiang Hao with a wagging tail, and was getting closer and closer to Jiang Hao. Out of the underwater spear gun on alert at any time.

Under water, bullets can't go far at all, and the underwater resistance is much greater than air. Whether it's a pistol or an assault rifle, bullets can't fly two meters away, but this underwater speargun can shoot twenty or thirty. Mi Yuan is an underwater lethal weapon.

At this moment, Laura saw Jiang Hao waving to her, signaling him not to move, and then she saw the great white shark stop in front of Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao stroked the great white shark's head for a while, Then Jiang Hao patted the head of the great white shark, the great white shark swung its body and swung its tail, swished far away, and disappeared in an instant.

Laura was very surprised and didn't know what happened, but now she was in the water, so she couldn't ask if she had any doubts.

Jiang Hao waved his hand, pointed down, Laura nodded, the two continued to dive, searched the trench for a while, they suddenly saw an underwater cave, Jiang Hao gestured to Laura, and then drove The underwater thruster drilled in first.

There are many corals growing around the cave, and various fish swim by from time to time. Suddenly, they found a hollow in front of them. Jiang Hao looked at it, and started to float up with the propeller.

"Wow!"

The two propellers rushed out of the water and came to a huge space. The space was pitch black. Jiang Hao immediately took out a light stick from his backpack, twisted it on and threw it out. The light stick drew a tasteful arc Line, the two found that the space here is really huge, the light stick fell, and it didn't reach the end, but to their surprise, they saw huge round stone pillars, this kind of stone pillars are too familiar , because almost all Greek temples have this round marble column.

Jiang Hao took off the respirator, tried to take a breath of air, and found that the air inside was a little dull, but he could breathe completely. Jiang Hao signaled, and the two went ashore.

Jiang Hao took out more light sticks and threw them in several directions, and now he could see them more clearly.

Laura looked up at the huge stone pillars and the invisible dome of the temple, turned her head and said to Jiang Hao excitedly: "It's so spectacular, it's incredible, we really found the Temple of the Moon God."

"Come on, let's go inside and have a look." Jiang Hao said.

Holding the flashlights, the two walked in, and after walking for more than a hundred meters, they finally came to the main hall of the temple. When the flashlights passed, the two saw countless gold coins and gold utensils scattered on the ground, and there were some copper statues beside them. A work of art of great value.

When he came across a pile of gold coins, Jiang Hao stretched out his hands and picked them up, then let go of them, letting the gold coins fall, and finally only one was left in his hand. Jiang Hao looked at it and said, "During the time of Alexander the Great, The gold coin has the head of Alexander the Great on the front and the statue of the goddess of victory Naiji on the back. Due to the large circulation, the price is relatively fixed, about 1,500 pounds per coin, and you can see how many there are here.”

"I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of them," Laura said.

The two walked forward, and were attracted by those statues again. There were life-sized marble statues and brass statues, which were lifelike. "If these statues are works of famous artists, they are much more valuable than those golden utensils." Jiang Hao said.

Laura agrees with Jiang Hao.

The flashlight continued to shine in, and Laura was attracted by a huge statue. The statue was ten meters high. The two stood in front of the huge statue. Jiang Hao sighed and said: "This is the statue of Alexander the Great. In that era He is God."

Jiang Hao's flashlight slowly shined on it, and inadvertently, the beam of the flashlight shone on a crystal ball above the statue's head, and the crystal ball suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the surrounding area with light.

"It's beautiful, is it a reflection?" Laura said.

Jiang Hao knew that this crystal ball had a lot of history. It recorded the location of the source of life where Pandora's box was hidden.

"Laura, wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look." Jiang Hao said.

"It's slippery here, be careful." Laura said.

Jiang Hao took out a rope from his backpack, made it into a noose, swung it twice, and threw it out violently, just like a man who is harnessing a horse, and put it directly on the head of Alexander the Great. Jiang Hao pulled Pull, grab the rope and start climbing.

Soon he climbed to the top of the huge statue of Alexander the Great, Jiang Hao stood up, and found that the crystal ball was embedded in a copper frame, and he couldn't take it out at all. If others want to take it out, the copper frame must be destroyed. , Jiang Hao stretched his hand in, touched the crystal ball and closed it silently, and saw the crystal ball disappear in place with a whoosh, and entered Jiang Hao's space.

Jiang Hao slid down from the top, took out the crystal ball and handed it to Laura, who took it and looked at it, "What is this?"

"I don't know, but it's beautiful, isn't it?" Jiang Hao said and stuffed it into his backpack.

suddenly,

Feeling a sense of crisis, Jiang Hao hugged Laura and dodged to the side. Immediately afterwards, there was a rattling sound of an assault rifle next to his ears, and pieces of bullets hit the statue of Alexander the Great, splashing There were bursts of stone dust.

Laura was even more taken aback, and the two quickly hid behind a statue, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Hao said, quickly opened the backpack, took out two pistols from it, and handed one of them to Laura.

Laura was taken aback, "When did you bring the gun?"

"Anytime." Jiang Hao said.

At this moment, the gunshots rang out again, and the opponent was getting closer and closer to them. Jiang Hao took a peek and found that the opponents were all guys in black diving suits, and they were running towards this side with assault rifles in their hands. , There are about seven or eight people.

Contrary to Jiang Hao's imagination, these guys include whites and blacks, but there are no yellows, they look like professional mercenaries.

Jiang Hao gestured to Laura, and the two dispersed their attacks left and right. Laura nodded and slid out diagonally to both sides at the same time.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

The pistols in both hands fired.
