Chapter 1276: Climb the pyramid

So he walked over first, thinking that there would be something like mosquito repellent in front of him. If there is, you can use this kind of grass to help them cross the river.
Sure enough, there was a small grass with very small leaves in a place not far away that could be exposed to the sun. Looks like what his father said.
In this way, Feifei quickly walked to the place of the mosquito repellent and took a look at it for himself. When I walked to the front and back, the smell became stronger.
So Feifei quickly called his father over, wanting to let him see if this kind of grass was the mosquito repellent they were looking for.
Zhao Zhongyao came to see that it was really the mosquito repellent they were looking for. So he pulled this grass down. Later, after smashing the grass with a stone, some juice was applied to the legs of several of them.
After that, they began to enter the water. It's just that the three of Feifei and Tiantian still Qu Yuqian are a little scared and dare not go into the water first. After all, now they took off their shoes and walked past barefoot.
Qu Yuqian was originally unwilling to do this. She felt safer if she was wearing shoes. But Zhao Zhongyao told her. If you wear shoes, get them wet. In this way, if you keep walking in wet shoes after the past, it will be very bad for your feet. There are almost five hundred meters. That is one mile away. If you walk such a long distance in wet shoes, your feet will definitely get blisters. If that's the case, when you get to the Pyramid of the Sun, you can't play as much as you like.
Qu Yuqian felt right after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said. It's just that she wondered if it would be more dangerous if she was barefoot.
Zhao Zhongyao told Qu Yuqian again that, in fact, even if you wear shoes, if you are really attacked by a piranha, no matter how sturdy your shoes are, you can't stop the fangs of the piranha. So, you don’t need to wear shoes anymore. In this case, you don’t need to wet your shoes.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Qu Yuqian agreed with him. Feifei and Tiantian naturally agreed with Dad. So, they are all willing to go into the water barefoot.
It's just that Feifei, Tiantian, and Qu Yuqian were a little scared, so they let Zhao Zhongyao go into the water first.
Of course, Zhao Zhongyao had to try it out first. After all, he is the only adult man here. It is the backbone of their family. If he doesn't try in the water, how can he do it!
However, before Zhao Zhongyao goes into the water, he can also do an experiment with these mosquito repellent plants. After all, this kind of mosquito repellent plant can drive away piranha fish, only Zhao Zhongyao saw from the book.
We all know that there is a saying that says this. ‘It’s better to have a letter than to have no book’. Everything must be practiced personally to believe that what is written in the book is true. We need to know the taste of pears, and we will only know the taste of pears.
Zhao Zhongyao took some unused mosquito repellent now, and then it still got into the water. He saw that when the piranhas just saw something falling into the water, they were swarming up, trying to devour the fallen prey.
But when they arrived in front of the mosquito repellent, they felt something was wrong, so they wandered around again.
After such experiments, Zhao Zhongyao can be sure that this piranha is very annoying to this mosquito repellent. As long as the juice of this mosquito repellent is smeared on a person's body, these piranhas will be driven away.
You must know that the smell of the whole plant of the mosquito repellent plant is still in the water, and the scent of the juice produced by smashing the mosquito repellent plant is far stronger.
Just imagine that just the smell of the mosquito repellent itself can resist the attack of the water tiger, let alone the juice of the mosquito repellent, and of course it can resist the attack of the water tiger.
After the experiment just now, Zhao Zhongyao can feel relieved. He was the first to step into the river boldly. It was originally very hot. Now that I jumped into the stream, I felt a coolness spread all over my body from under my feet, instantly driving away the heat from my body. This is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
After Zhao Zhongyao went down, the piranha fish felt like an animal had fallen into the water, so they swarmed up again and came to Zhao Zhongyao. But they only circled Zhao Zhongyao a few times, and then they dispersed again. It seems that the smell of these mosquito repellent plants is really strong. Let these piranhas stay away.
"Okay, it's okay, you can come down." Zhao Zhongyao saw that these piranhas were afraid to do anything to him, so he greeted his wife and children to go into the water.
Qu Yuqian and the two children walked into the water boldly together after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said. After all, they also saw the piranhas personally, and they only swam around Zhao Zhongyao two times. Obviously the smell of mosquito repellent played a role.
All Zhao Zhongyao's family jumped into the water now. Those piranhas felt that many'animals' fell into the water. I was also very excited, and immediately swam over together. Only when they smelled the pungent mosquito repellent smell, they wandered away one after another.
"Ah! It's so cool, I really want to take a shower here!" Feifei jumped into the water and quickly washed his face. I feel very comfortable all over my body, and the hotness just disappeared all at once.
Besides, Qu Yuqian and her daughter are the same. After walking into the water, I felt much more comfortable. The sweat on his face immediately disappeared.
Zhao Zhongyao's family played in the river to their heart's content, and drove away the fatigue and heat from walking just now. Everyone in the water looked at those piranhas that could only swim back and forth on one side, with happy smiles on their faces.
Thinking of having to hurry, Zhao Zhongyao asked everyone to wash their faces, and after a short rest, he let everyone wade across the creek, put on their shoes, and continued on their way.
The remaining distance is more than 500 meters. However, this place is not far from the Pyramid of the Sun. It has been possible to see some paths leading to the Pyramid of the Sun. After all, this place already has traces of human activities. These trails may have been left by people who came to the Pyramid of the Sun to rescue them.
Wade across that small river just now. After Zhao Zhongyao's family rested, it didn't feel so hot anymore. Now that the family drank some water, they started walking towards the Pyramid of the Sun again.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and there was no danger again. It's not that I saw some giant Amazon centipedes. The average centipede is about ten centimeters. But the giant centipede of the Amazon can grow to 30 centimeters.
It looks like a little snake, which is indeed a bit scary. Of course, this giant centipede is also very poisonous.
However, Zhao Zhongyao and the others are wearing thick protective clothing and their shoes are also specially made high-top shoes. In this way, they can safely walk in the grass of weedy beings.
Soon, Zhao Zhongyao and the others walked out of this dense forest and came to the foot of the Pyramid of the Sun. It is now more than two o'clock in the afternoon local time. There are still many visitors to the Pyramid of the Sun. Although it is not as good as the tourists in domestic scenic spots, it is also bustling with constant flow of people.
Zhao Zhongyao led the family to buy a few tickets at the ticket booth, and then they entered the scenic spot of the Pyramid of the Sun.
Although everyone comes here, mainly to see the Pyramid of the Sun. But in this scenic spot, there are not only the Pyramid of the Sun but also some other small pyramids. It's just that the sun pyramid is in the middle of these small pyramids. If you look down from a high altitude, you will feel that the Sun Pyramid is in the middle of these small pyramids, and there is a feeling of stars holding the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao led the whole family and first looked at some small pyramids nearby, and felt that there was nothing good about it, just some large stones piled together.
After that, they went to the Pyramid of the Sun in the center of this scenic spot together. Only when you get to the Pyramid of the Sun, you will feel her majesty and grandeur.
The entire Pyramid of the Sun is more than 110 meters high and 220 meters wide. It is similar to the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid in Egypt.
It's just that the Pyramid of the Sun is not like the Pyramid of Khufu. The entire pyramid is made up of huge stones. There are nine large steps in this solar pyramid. The entire pyramid of the sun is a nine-story pyramid. On all sides of the pyramid, from top to bottom, there is a walking step about fifty meters wide. This allows people to walk directly to the top of the pyramid from below the pyramid of the sun.
Because the nine steps of the Sun Pyramid are all very huge. The height of each step is more than ten meters, which is not something ordinary people can climb up casually.
And the walking steps below allow ordinary people to walk from under the Pyramid of the Sun to the top of the Pyramid.
This point is different from the pyramids of Egypt. The pyramids of Egypt, whether it is the Great Pyramid of Khufu, or ordinary small pyramids. All are stepped pyramids made of piled stones, and there are no walking steps to reach the top of the pyramid.
This may be due to the different purposes of the two. The pyramids of Egypt may be the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. The Mayan pyramid may be used to sacrifice to the sky. If you want to sacrifice to the sky, of course you have to climb to the top of the pyramid. In this case, it is natural to build a step that can be climbed on one side of the pyramid.
The pyramids in Egypt do not need to be on top. Therefore, the appearance of the two pyramids is somewhat different.
At the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, there is a rectangular altar. It seems that the ancient Mayans used to worship the gods.
Zhao Zhongyao and his family will play under the Pyramid of the Sun for a while. Everyone is taking pictures here, just like ordinary tourists. Without flying saucer cars, Zhao Zhongyao and his family seemed very ordinary here. No one knows, where they came from.
Although there are not many Orientals visiting this place. But there are some. Zhao Zhongyao's family, although they are Oriental. But it is not conspicuous here either. No one will notice them. Those tourists would only treat them as ordinary tourists, and would not think that they were here for scientific investigation.
The Zhao Zhongyao family played under the Pyramid of the Sun for a while, and then they walked along the steps on the front of the Pyramid of the Sun to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. Came to the front of the huge altar.
Below the Pyramid of the Sun, looking at the top altar, it may not feel very large. But when you reach the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, you will feel its hugeness when you really come to this altar.
The entire altar is about 20 meters long, about a decade wide, and more than 10 meters high. It's really a very altar.
Zhao Zhongyao's family stood in front of this altar and took a group photo. Like ordinary tourists, they also give pointers to this giant altar. They expressed their feelings about this altar one after another.
Feifei looked around the altar at this time. He saw that on the back of the altar, there seemed to be a mural. It's just that it doesn't look so obvious after wind and rain erosion over time.
Because of this, none of these tourists noticed this mural. After all, these tourists are also out to play. No one is out for scientific investigation. Of course, Zhao Zhongyao's family is an exception. They are not just for fun, but more importantly, for scientific investigation.
Therefore, Feifei has now observed such a mural. It's just that he can't see what is painted on the mural. So he called his father Zhao Zhongyao over.
"Dad, come and see if there is a mural here." Feifei pointed to the mural in front of him and called Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao was originally with his wife and daughter, looking at the distant scenery from the top of the pyramid. After all, seeing the scenery in this place is also very good. Because this Pyramid of the Sun is located on the Yucatan Peninsula. You can see beautiful sea views on this peninsula. Especially standing on this pyramid of the sun, you can see the beach, blue sea and blue sky in the distance.
Also, standing at the top of this pyramid of the sun will not feel the heat. On the contrary, under the blowing of the sea breeze, it feels very cool and comfortable, giving a sense of refreshment.
Now Zhao Zhongyao heard his son calling him. He walked up to his son. Qu Yuqian and her daughter heard Feifei calling his dad and walked over together.
Now Zhao Zhongyao's family gathered around this mural and looked at it. At first, Zhao Zhongyao couldn't see it. There was something on this mural, it felt like a patch of ground on a rock. I can't tell, there is a mural on it.
But Feifei pointed to the round object in the middle of the mural and said, "Dad, this thing does not look like a planetary figure."
