The words of the high priest Imhotep reminded Jiang Ning of a place that met the conditions that Imhotep said. According to legend, the location of the eternal spring is Shambhala!
Moreover, the time span between the three parts of The Mummy is very large.
The third part, The Dragon Emperor, officially began in 1947. Now, it is 1926, and the time difference is 21 years.
Jiang Ning carefully recalled the general plot, which was led by the British Foreign Office. The Eye of Shangri-La was stolen in 1940. In order to improve relations with China, the British government decided to return the Eye of Shangri-La to China. And the escort was O'Connor and Evelyn.
...
"Such clues are better than nothing." Jiang Ning was at a loss. With just these few messages, where can he find the Eye of Shangri-La? It only explained that it was stolen in 1940. During the theft, there was no clue at all about who had the Eye of Shangri-La.
Moreover, the location of the Fountain of Eternal Life, the legendary Shambhala, was also vaguely introduced in the play.
Lin only said that there was a pyramid at the pass of the Himalayas. Only through the Eye of Shangri-La can the location of Shambhala be found. And which mountain is this? It is not mentioned at all. Is it Mount Everest or another mountain?
Screenwriter, can't you be more clear? Jiang Ning cursed secretly.
What can I do?
With only this little clue, I traveled across the ocean to return to China and search for a small Eye of Shangri-La on such a large territory. It is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack. But, if I don't look for it! I don't know when my injury will heal.
Does it mean that I have to stay here for 21 years? Until the plot of the third part of Dragon Emperor begins?
This is completely impossible, because if I wait like this, I might as well try to contact Anubis, the god of death. Maybe I can get a way to heal the wound of the soul from the mouth of the god of death.
In short, Jiang Ning secretly remembered the Fountain of Eternal Life. As for the clues to find, let's take it slowly! The most urgent task at present is to reunite with Evelyn and the others. Evelyn cannot bear any loss during this period.
After all, in order to open the Eye of Shangri-La, the condition is a drop of blood from a pure-hearted person.
If Jiang Ning asks Evelyn for a drop of blood, Evelyn will definitely give it to him. However, Jiang Ning is not sure whether this blood can be used after 21 years? What if the Eye of Shangri-La cannot be opened? With
so many people in the world, who knows who is a pure-hearted person?
Although babies are also pure-hearted people, the plot does not explain whether a drop of blood from babies has this effect. What if there is no effect at all? That would be blind, so Jiang Ning still has to be a nanny for a while.
Moreover, Jiang Ning is very interested in the army of Anubis, the god of death.
If he can obtain the army of the god of death, then Anubis's army will be very helpful to him before he has fully grown up. Being cannon fodder alone can help me a lot, and this kind of cannon fodder can be resurrected continuously, and they don't need to eat or drink water, and they are not afraid of death. Such perfect cannon fodder, no wonder the Roman Legion and Napoleon are eager to find Anubis' army.
In fact, this kind of cannon fodder is too easy to dominate the world.
...
Thinking about so many messy and disorderly things in my mind, thinking too much, my brain began to hurt a little. I simply don't think about it. Calculating the time, I have been "missing" for a long time. If I don't go back, Evelyn and others may worry about it.
In fact, Jiang Ning completely overthinks it...
...
When Jiang Ning returned to Cairo, he saw such a scene.
O'Connor kept helping Evelyn pack clothes, and Evelyn kept taking out the packed things. And said that the mummy was resurrected because of him, and he had the obligation to stop this crazy mummy.
And O'Connor kept opposing and once said that Miss Evelyn was crazy and this crazy idea was not acceptable. O'Connor said that the government would take care of the mummy issue. As ordinary people, it is better not to get involved in these things.
O'Connor's cowardice and inaction made Eve despise him from head to toe.
...
"Hi, everyone!" Jiang Ning stood at the door, looking at the quarreling people and greeted them. Because since this guy stood at the door, no one noticed him... Remember, no one noticed him. This situation hit Jiang Ning hard.
Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Evelyn rushed out of the room in surprise, grabbed Jiang Ning's collar and kept asking: "Ning, where have you been? We looked for you everywhere, but we couldn't find you. Where did you go?" Eve's words
made Jiang Ning feel a little better: "I'm sorry to make you worry, Evelyn." Jiang Ning showed an apologetic expression, and then Evelyn's words almost made him completely crazy.
"I'm not worried about that. You know what, Ning! The mummy we dug up has resurrected. Did you know that a mummy that had been dead for at least three thousand years has resurrected? Oh my God, this must be a joke from God." Evelyn was talking to herself, not noticing that Jiang Ning
's face was getting uglier and uglier. "Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?" Evelyn asked with concern.
Jiang Ning forced a smile stiffly: "No, I'm just a little tired after coming out of the desert. Jonathan!" Jiang Ning yelled at Jonathan.
"Yes!"
Jonathan stood up straight like a conditioned reflex.
"Pour me a glass of whiskey with ice cubes, quickly." Jiang Ning ordered.
"Ah? Can't you pour it yourself? Uh... I mean, I'll pour it for you right away." Seeing Jiang Ning's murderous eyes, Jonathan quickly changed his words and stood up to help Jiang Ning pour the wine.
He drank the wine in the glass fiercely and exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to vent all his depression.
"Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel a little tired. I want to go downstairs to find some girls to chat with."
"Haha, brother. Speaking of this, you have to find me. Let's go, I'll take you." Jonathan heard his eyes and emitted a hungry wolf-like light. His chest slapped loudly, and he hugged Jiang Ning's shoulders and went downstairs to find the girls. "Damn it, it's already this late, and you still have the mood to think about these things." Evelyn said angrily.
O'Connor and the other two Americans also stood up and looked at each other: "Ah, that... The air here is so stuffy, I suggest that we all go for a drink together. How about it, guys?"
After hearing this, the two Americans nodded repeatedly with a look of admiration on their faces.
Even Burns, who was blinded and had lost his tongue, struggled to get up: "Hey, guys, I want to go too."
O'Connor grabbed him and pulled him to another room, saying: "You should have a good rest and recover from your injuries! Drinking is not good for you at this time." After that, O'Connor went downstairs with the two Americans.
