Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 299
After a lot of tossing, several people were a little tired at this time, especially the fat man, who could hardly hold back the smell of burning corpses just now.Hu Bayi announced that the team would take a break, and they found a relatively clean place to sit on the floor, took out ready-to-eat jerky and compressed biscuits, and began to eat and drink with cold water.

Xiao Ran looked at the mountain temple, there was nothing but a statue.Although the passage opening of the floor tiles in the corner is very close to the fire pile of Grandpa Xu and his party, it is not easy to find because of this, and it can be opened with external force.

Unless they're full-time grave robbers with guys.If it was really like what Grandpa Xu said, he went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, it is really impossible to pull a hole in the floor tiles with his bare hands.

Xiao Ran thought about it, but couldn't hold back his curiosity.Building a mountain temple and using the superstition of the nearby people to cover up the real place of harm underground is indeed the style of Tianling Sanren.That being the case, he should have left a switch outside to open the entrance to the Ghost King Temple.

He jumped up after eating and drinking, and walked to the statue of the mountain god to observe carefully.Out of curiosity about his grandfather's past and habitually following Xiao Ran, Xu Er also came over to observe.

Xiao Ran walked around the statue, but couldn't find any obvious switches.When he went around to the front of the statue again, looking at the stone bowl on the stone pier, he suddenly remembered that in the story of Grandpa Xu Er, he mentioned the plot of offering sacrifices to the mountain god.

Is the switch in this bowl?He raised his hand and turned the stone bowl, but the stone bowl remained motionless.He pressed down again, and felt that the bottom of the stone bowl was indeed somewhat elastic.But no matter how he pressed it, the stone slab in the corner remained motionless.

It stands to reason that this is the switch, but how to turn it on?

Seeing Xiao Ran studying the statue, the fat man next to him hastily packed his backpack, and at the same time shouted to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, what have you discovered again? Could it be that there is something precious in this statue?"

Thinking about it, Xiao Ran turned his head, just in time to see the fat man stuffing a sweet potato that fell on the ground into the bag.A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he walked to the flat ground where several people were resting, and asked the fat man, "Brother fat, you said half a baked sweet potato weighs?"

The fat man faltered and said, "Half a sweet potato... it depends on the size of the head... I reckon, there are about two or three taels?"

Xiao Ran picked up an unopened compressed biscuit on the ground, the package said 120 grams.He weighed it in his hand, turned and walked towards the empty bowl in front of the mountain god statue.

He carefully put the compressed biscuits on it, only to see that the empty bowl sank a few millimeters, and then the floor tiles by the wall made a noisy rubbing sound and slowly closed.

"Hey! This mountain god master is realistic enough, he really only opened the door when he had to make an offering!"

The fat man understood what Xiao Ran meant, and teased him with a smile.Hu Bayi also understood the operation method of this mechanism, and said next to him: "If the story that Grandpa Xu told about offering half a baked sweet potato to the mountain god is true, then the old man is indeed half lucky and half Depends on character. This door opening mechanism has to be pushed down to trigger, but it can’t be light or heavy. If he hadn’t put half a sweet potato of the right weight to the mountain god in awe, it is estimated that none of them would be able to find this entrance. Time is fate and destiny.”

"Come on, old Hu, you took the opportunity to become the political commissar, and now you are also serving as the master. That's what it is. If we don't start again, we can only spend the night in the forest! Hurry up!" said the fat man.

After they packed their bags and left the mountain temple, Xiao Ran suddenly heard rustling on the trees behind them.He tentatively took out half of an unfinished compressed biscuit from his pocket, and threw it towards the entrance of the mountain temple.

Not long after, I saw a cub of a small fungus climbed down from the tree, vigilantly climbed to the gate of the temple to pick up the biscuits, and then ran up the nearby tree without a trace.

Xiao Ran could see clearly that although there was obvious fur damage on the back of that little fungus mandrill, the velvet had disappeared.Perhaps as the foundation of the corpse antlers is destroyed, these corpse antlers parasitic on the mandrill will gradually lose their vitality.Although they couldn't figure out the reason, they did a good deed after all and returned their freedom to these Lindrills.Thinking of these, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling relieved.

Xiao Ran quickly caught up with the other three, seeing Hu Ba handing over the compass to the fat man, he closed his eyes and walked west.The three followed behind, reminding him from time to time that there was a tree ahead or a hole in the ground. After walking about 100 meters, Hu Bayi opened his eyes and turned around.

"What about Fatty, which side am I going?" Hu Bayi asked.

The fat man looked at the compass and said, "Hey, don't tell me, you are really going all the way to the right. Although we are going west all the way, the more we go, the more north we go!"

"The big guy followed me just now, and I took the route astray based on my habit. Now let's readjust the direction and go south for a while to see if we can correct the route." Hu Bayi said .

The fat man smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you still leading the way? Doesn't it turn to the right again?"

Hu Bayi said: "It's biased, if it's south to the right, isn't that the same as west?"

The fat man thought about it for a while, and it was indeed reasonable, so he stopped talking.According to Hu Bayi's intention, several people headed south first.

In order to correct his habitual right deviation, Hu Bayi deliberately sways to the left every 30 meters.After walking like this for more than a kilometer, the fat man suddenly said in doubt: "It's strange, it's not quite right..."

Several people stopped, and Hu Bayi asked: "What's wrong? Let's follow the needle. I'm still adjusting my route. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "I mean this road is too quiet, what about those dead monkeys? They made trouble for us all the way, and now they are all home from get off work?"

"Hi……"

When Hu Bayi heard that the fat man said it was a monkey, he shook his head helplessly and ignored him, turned around and continued to move forward slowly.Xiao Ran smiled and told the fat man about the little mushroom mandrill that had taken off its corpse and his own speculation.

Xu Er, who was following behind, stopped suddenly at this moment, pointed to a nearby tree and shouted: "I saw it!"

The fat man quickly raised his gun and shouted at the tree: "Old Hu! The monkey is coming again! I knew this would never end!"

Xu Er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's a mark! This, the black blind man's mark!"

Hu Bayi hurried over, looked at the obvious man-made fork mark on the tree, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally we are back on the right track."

The next road is much easier, Xu Er walks forward in the general direction pointed out by Hu Bayi, and every once in a while he will think of the tree he has seen before, or find the mark of the black blind man on the tree.The fat man following behind smacked the mark several times with his engineering shovel, as if he was scratching the face of a black and blind man.

"It seems that this blind man smells his way to find his way. He not only follows the scent of death, but also avoids unnecessary troubles. We came all the way, and he didn't walk in a straight line..." Hu Bayi said .

Xu Er in front of him suddenly became excited, and turned around and shouted: "It's close! Let's go out now!"

Hearing this, Hu Bayi simply put away the compass, and followed Xu Er and ran forward with sullen head.After a distance of less than 100 meters, several people finally reached the edge of the pine forest.
