Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 36 Snakes
"The reason why the corpse-flavored konjac was called the devil's flower by the ancients is because this flower can use its bewitching color and strange fragrance to create illusions one after another, deceiving people's five senses."

"As early as the 16th century, when Spanish explorers were looking for Solomon's treasure, they found such an extinct Amorphophallus konjac. Their fate was miserable, because all the survivors became fools. The treasure is specific They can't remember the location, the only thing that is clear is that they have been talking about the devil's flower."

After hearing Feng Sijiu's words, no one expected that he knew more about this corpse-flavored konjac than Professor Chen, and was secretly surprised for a while.

"What Xiao Feng said should be correct. Those people in ancient times called this flower the devil's flower. Presumably it was because of the hallucination caused by poisoning and they didn't know the reason, so they said that there were evil spirits in this flower."

Professor Chen looked at Feng Sijiu appreciatively, Lao Sun is really a good apprentice.

Hu Bayi thumped in his heart, because standing in front of him, he already smelled a strange fragrance in his nose.

If it is true that the fragrance of the flowers is poisonous as Feng Sijiu said, wouldn't they have been tricked?

"Did you smell a fragrance?"

Hearing Hu Bayi's question, everyone twitched their noses and said they smelled it, and he suggested that everyone put on the gas masks.

Looking at Professor Chen who took the lead, Feng Sijiu said earnestly:
"Professor, since we have seen that the coffin of Queen Jingjue is safe, can we go out? After all, there is the konjac, which is fragrant from the corpse, and no one can get close to the coffin."

After hearing what Feng Sijiu said, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help snorting and said:
"Isn't it just a flower? If I shoot it a few times and smash it, then there will be no danger. Then let's go and see what the zongzi of the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions looks like. "

After hearing Wang Kaixuan's rude words, Professor Chen blew his beard and stared angrily:

"Absolutely not! We would rather not go there than destroy this precious corpse-fragrant konjac."

Seeing such a big reaction from Professor Chen, Wang Kaixuan could only mutter something, which was not a good thing anyway.

Hao Aiguo pushed his glasses and said seriously:

"It's so hard to come here. How come you can go back within a few minutes. Comrade Hu, look around if there is anything else? I can report more information to the higher-ups after I go back."

Hu Bayi had no choice but to turn the searchlight to illuminate the surroundings of the coffin so that Professor Chen and others could see clearly. At this time, under the light, he found that there were many characters engraved on the edge of the stone beam. There are hundreds of them.

This discovery is not trivial, because the entire ancient city, including the temple and the underground palace, has very few words, and most of the events are recorded in murals. I only remember that there are some ghost cave texts on the jade eyes in the temple. Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many ghost cave texts on this stone beam.

If these ghost cave texts can be deciphered, it will definitely save a lot of detours in the interpretation of fine civilization in the future.

Seeing this scene, both Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo were very excited. The characters were engraved in a large size, and the searchlights illuminated them clearly.

Professor Chen hurriedly asked Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng to start preparing pens and paper, together with Hao Aiguo and the other four, wrote down the ghost cave text on the stone beam part by part.

Shirley Yang was not idle either, and kept taking pictures with the camera hanging on her chest. Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked bored, so they had to sit on the ground with their guns in hand and wait for them. Call it a job.

Feng Sijiu stepped forward a little, his eyes looked straight into the dark bottomless ghost cave, and he felt in a trance for a moment, as if falling into an abyss.

[Main task: Go to Mount Zagrama, the underground bottomless ghost cave. ]
[Congratulations, you have completed the main task, and the passage to return to the main world has been opened. ]
The four of Professor Chen recorded more than half of it, and finally found that there was a section that could not be read clearly. It must have been too long, and the words were covered with dust, so Hao Aiguo proposed to sweep away the dust and broken soil on it.

"Well, be careful in the past, sweep away the dust and come back."

"No! No one can come near there."

Professor Chen just agreed, but he didn't expect that Feng Sijiu standing in front would stop him.

"Xiao Feng, don't worry, they swept the ashes away and came back. They all wore gas masks, so nothing will happen."

At this time, both Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan heard the movement, saying that such a dangerous thing should be done by them.

After hearing this, Professor Chen declined with a smile:
"No need, the ghost cave inscription on the stone beam is of great significance. You are not professional in doing this. If it is damaged, it will be troublesome."

Although Hu Bayi didn't know how powerful the corpse-flavored konjac was, why the group of British explorers who had been here before did not take such a precious coffin away was a big question.

And Feng Sijiu, who knows how powerful the corpse-flavored konjac is, would not let them go. Seeing that Hao Aiguo was eager to try, he quickly grabbed his hand, turned to Professor Chen and said:
"Professor, this corpse-flavored konjac is powerful, far beyond your imagination. In short, as I said before, don't do dangerous things. If we can remember it, we will write it down. If we can't remember it, if we can come again in the future, we can't remember it again." Late."

Seeing that Feng Sijiu and Hu Bayi tried their best to dissuade him, Professor Chen gave up with a sigh. Hao Aiguo said anxiously when he saw it:

"Teacher, it's a rare opportunity for us to find the ancient city of Jingjue this time. If we wait for the next time, we may have no chance. How can we give up?"

"Patriotic, what Xiao Feng and Team Leader Hu said is reasonable. We are not in a hurry to do archaeological research. Safety is the most important thing."

Hearing what Professor Chen said, no matter how stubborn Hao Aiguo was, he could only compromise, and the few of them continued to write down the ghost cave text as much as possible from a distance.

It was delayed for another ten minutes, and Professor Chen and the others sighed reluctantly to stop the work. Hu Bayi comforted and said, this queen will not run away with long legs, and it will be the same whenever she comes.

A group of people packed up the equipment they brought in, and finally removed the strong searchlights that were about to run out of power, put on cold smoke and flashlights, and prepared to return along the original road.

Before he even took a few steps, he could only hear the sound of rustling around the stone wall in front of him, as if some animal was wriggling and crawling.

Not only Feng Sijiu heard this voice, but everyone also heard it, and everyone immediately thought of those strange snakes with tumors on their heads.

Immediately, I hurriedly shone the flashlight on it. Although the range of illumination was not large and the distance was not long, it was enough to see what was going on.

I saw many strange snakes crawling down densely around the platform where everyone came down from before. Even the buried gold and silver treasures are also crawling out of strange snakes. The number is so large that it is impossible to estimate.

Obviously, it would be impossible for everyone to go back the same way, because the way they came was already covered in layers by layers of snakes that appeared out of nowhere.
