C439 Allah is from Shanghai
On the way, they would occasionally encounter police cars speeding by, causing the three people in the cars to become inexplicably nervous.
Liu Qiang actually wanted to take part in the operation as well, but was rejected by Xia Lei. Xia Lei told him to stay in the Information Station and wait. As for the car prepared for Liu Qiang, it held the weapons smuggled over from the Grand China, three XL2500 sniper rifles and one blast assault rifle.
Not allowing Liu Qiang to participate in the operation of the museum, Xia Lei had thought about it first, which was that the group of experts had already been exposed. Liu Qiang had stayed at the Desert Springs Hotel for such a long time, the hotel's surveillance cameras had already recorded his appearance countless of times. In this situation, if he brought Liu Qiang to the museum, it would be a very stupid decision.
After getting off the car, Xia Lei and the other two entered the museum, heading straight for the archaeology museum. The full name of this archaeological museum is Samuel and Seddy Bloommann, which is a very awkward name.
Along the way, Xia Lei saw several surveillance cameras and alarm systems, as well as uniformed security personnel. The level of their security was extremely high. If he wanted to steal something from this place, perhaps even if he and Qin Xiang worked together, it would still be impossible. Fortunately, he only needed to look at the ancient map.
Entering the archaeology library, a gentle girl wearing glasses came over and greeted Xia Lei and the other two in a low voice, "It's me, follow me."
This girl was the girl Qiao Ping spoke of. Her name was Duan Ning, and she was also the one who provided the information regarding the ancient map.
Xia Lei and the other two followed Duan Ning Ning Ning into the depths of the archaeology building. There are almost six thousand artifacts in this archaeological library. Many of them are religious, and behind each relic lies an ancient history and story.
Under Duan Ning Ning's lead, Xia Lei quickly saw the ancient map. It was not really a map, but several maps combined. The materials used to make these maps were animal skins that had been embalmed. However, even if there was an embalming process, after a long period of time, the beast skins had already fused together and could no longer be separated from each other. Therefore, only the topmost page could be seen clearly.
Separated by a bulletproof glass window, Duan Ning said in a low voice, "It's this one. Rumor has it that when we dug it out, it was like this. There's no way to separate it." But luckily, I can still clearly see the map at the top. Take a look, is it the kind of map you guys want? "
Xia Lei had been observing the map in the window the entire time. It was indeed a map of the Old City of Jerusalem. It was very old, and there was no way of knowing if it was more than a thousand years old.
The old map showed the picture of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but there was no picture of the Dome of the Mosque.
This discovery gave Xia Lei a rough idea of the age of the map. He thought to himself, "The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built by Emperor Constantine in 335 AD, while the Dome of the Holy Mosque was built between 687 and 691 by the ninth Caliph, Abdoulmalic. There is a difference of more than three hundred years between the two. The fact that there is no domed mosque on this map means that its map, which was built not long after the Holy Sepulchre was built, is at least 1600 years old. "
Tang Yuyan spoke out: "This map is very old and simple, it's useless."
Xia Lei did not make a sound, his left eye locked onto the ancient map in the window as he jumped slightly. His gaze pierced through the glass window and landed on the map. The ancient beast skin slowly disappeared, revealing the contents underneath.
Even with the help of scientific instruments, the combined map could not produce any information that was already covered. However, Xia Lei's left eye could achieve a level better than that of a scientific instrument. His gaze was able to "remove" layer after layer of coverings and see the hidden content.
The second map was not built, but it had some thick, dark lines and notes in Hebrew.
After looking at those lines and the Hebrew annotations, thousands of words suddenly gushed out from Xia Lei's mind in Hebrew. At the same time, his mind raced as he quickly compared the words in the Hebrew Language with words, translating them one by one!
Actually, with Xia Lei's current abilities in the brain, he already didn't need to painstakingly learn the language of a small fry. All he had to do was look at a dictionary with annotations in Chinese and he could translate all the words in that language. This was an example. He couldn't even speak Hebrew, but as long as it was a Hebrew word, he could translate it with a glance.
With the evolution of the brain, the current Xia Lei was equivalent to a Baidu robot translation system. There would definitely be flaws in the translation of the content, and it would even give off a feeling of confusion. However, as far as short sentences were concerned, that was definitely not a problem.
After translating the Hebrew annotations, Xia Lei felt a burst of excitement in his heart, "I found it, it's the ancient Jerusalem's drainage system! There is a gutter under the Church of the Holy Sepulchre! " He thought to himself: "Wait! There are a total of three maps here. What is the content of the bottom map?"
With that thought, Xia Lei's left eye looked down again, leaving the second map behind.
Xia Lei stared straight at the map in the window, looking confused. Long Bing and Tang Yuyan couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity and puzzlement.
"Hello? What did you find? " Long Bing asked.
"My mind wandered?" Tang Yuyan's voice.
At this moment, two uniformed security personnel walked over. One of them was even holding a walkie-talkie as he spoke.
Duan Ning instantly became nervous. "Hurry up and go, we've attracted the attention of others."
However, Xia Lei still stood in front of the window without moving, not even blinking. At this moment, he felt as if something had stuck onto him, making him unable to break free.
Long Bing pushed Xia Lei a little, but Xia Lei still did not react, it was as if he had been possessed.
Tang Yuyan immediately made a decision, "Miss Duan, let's go and deal with it."
Tang Yuyan's level was far higher than Duan Ning's. She didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
Two security personnel walked over. One of them said in English, "What are you doing?"
Long Bing replied in English, "Nothing much, we are just looking at cultural relics."
Taking the chance that Long Bing was blocking the two security guards, Tang Yuyan kicked hard at Xia Lei's heels, lowering her voice, "What are you doing?"
Xia Lei regained his senses. He closed his eyes and gently shook his head.
One of the security guards asked, "Are all of you from Grand China?"
Long Bing replied, "Yes, we like Israel. Is there a problem?"
The security guard said, "Please show us your passports."
"Why?" Long Bing frowned.
"No reason, just a routine check." The security guard said, then urged, "Hurry up, don't cause trouble."
This seemed to be a warning.
Just as Long Bing was about to take out her passport, Xia Lei walked over and smiled: "Greetings gentlemen, can I give it to you? We are all from Shanghai, we came from the Grand China, do you know of Shanghai? " Then, hoarsely, he said in a nondescript Shanghainese, "Both the Lons and Allah are good friends."
This kind of words, made Long Bing want to kick him, it was too jarring. However, Xia Lei's cleverness made her respect him.
During the Second World War, the Nazis persecuted the Jews. No one wanted to give them shelter, only the Grand China. The Jews had a settlement in Shanghai, where many of them took refuge. Until now, there have been Jewish survivors who have gone to Shanghai to repay their gratitude to the Chinese who helped them. When Xia Lei mentioned Shanghai, pretending to be from Shanghai, the reason was already obvious.
Sure enough, when a security guard heard Xia Lei say that he was from Shanghai, a smile appeared on his face, "Sir, I know that my grandfather and grandmother stayed in Shanghai for a period of time.
"Aiyo, what a coincidence." Xia Lei laughed and said, "My grandparents helped a lot of Jews before, and my grandmother once told me that you all suffered a lot at that time. She was a kind person, and the eggs she took out from the chicken nest were all given to the Jews."
"Your grandmother is a great woman." The security guard who was chatting with Xia Lei came over and gave Xia Lei a hug full of gratitude.
After finishing the hug, Xia Lei tried to sound out: "Sir, we were stopped by your police on the street, who checked our documents and asked us a lot of questions. I don't think you'd like us very much, do you? "
The security guard who was hugging Xia Lei waved his hand, his face had a look of apology, "Sir, it's not like that. It was an attack yesterday that ordered us to check the documents and ask the suspicious Chinese why they were here. This is not what we Israelis want to do, it's... "
"What is it?" Xia Lei already knew the answer.
"Oh, forget it. You can continue with the tour. Sorry for disturbing you." The security guard who was hugging Xia Lei gave his companion a meaningful glance, then turned and left.
Xia Lei said: "The Nong family must come to Ala's Shanghai to play."
The two security guards turned around and smiled, feeling very sincere. However, Xia Lei's words were like heavenly books to the two Israelis.
Long Bing rolled her eyes at Xia Lei, "What are you talking about, are you speaking Shanghai language? I feel like my back is going to go numb. "
Xia Lei laughed: "Have they heard of Shanghai language? When I say Shanghai, I mean Shanghai. "
Tang Yuyan said: "You are really smart, those two security personnel are obviously executing orders. "I'm afraid the source of this order is the CIA."
Xia Lei said: "Let them torment themselves, we will do our thing, after we dig out something, we will find them to settle the score."
Long Bing's heart was moved, "What did you discover?"
Xia Lei laughed, "Come, let's leave this place, I'll tell you guys on the way."
Just now, after he had stripped away the second map with his perspective, he had seen something older and more mysterious. I'm afraid not even the Archaeological Museum of Israel knows that.
