Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 338
Xiao Ran stood up and moved his arms and legs that were hurting from the fall.Just now his joints were not fully connected, so he was forced to crawl in the tunnel with several people to avoid being buried alive, and then fell down from another passage by somersaults, which almost caused the joints to be unable to be fully retracted.

While moving, he noticed a spiral wax passage next to it, which also looked like a large children's slide in a playground.At this time, the channel was almost filled with sand and blocked, and a small amount of sand was still flowing slowly from the channel.

He stood up and took a picture of the space he was currently in. It seemed to be a very large tomb chamber.On the walls around the tomb chamber, ancient characters can be vaguely seen. Although it is impossible to tell what kind of characters they are or what they are written at a glance, they are obviously a kind of ancient Chinese characters.If you carefully identify, it should not be difficult to see the meaning.

In addition to the text, there are dozens of murals with different contents, which seem to depict some patterns of sacrifice, war and hunting, etc., which are similar to those in the tomb of General Jin, but because they are older, the pictures are rougher and the lines are relatively rough. Simple.

What made Xiao Ran more nervous was that the walls and corners of the tomb were all small passages and insect nests made of wax.The large and small worm nests and those passages are connected to each other, it looks like tumors and blood vessels have grown in the tomb.In the center of the tomb, there are several waxy pillars that are also upright, reminding Xiao Ran of the pillar-shaped insect nests above.

Hu Bayi saw Xiao Ran's nervousness, and said: "I just took a look, and the ones next to it are like the insect nests above, and they are all deserted. It is covered with a thick layer of soil, and it must be a few years old..."

Xiao Ran nodded, feeling a little more at ease, and said: "It's fortunate that you guys pinched my head and had a good command of the sky, otherwise I would probably still be dizzy. Who are you to press my head? It's okay, have you practiced it?"

Hu Bayi and Xu Er looked at each other, then turned their heads and said to Xiao Ran: "We woke up less than 5 minutes earlier than you, and we also felt that someone was massaging our heads. We thought it was you, after all, there are also You are the most proficient in acupuncture points..."

Xiao Ran was stunned, could it be that the artifacts on his body made a move?He was just about to ask Yajiu Kui, when suddenly the fat man's voice came again: "That's right! I remembered something!"

Hu Bayi was taken aback by Fatty's sudden yell.He patted the fat man and said, "You can't hear yourself, but we can. Please keep your voice down!"

The fat man seemed to understand Hu Bayi's words this time, he picked his ears and pulled out a lot of black and yellow sludge.He dipped his hands in water to dig out his ears again, shook his head, opened his mouth and kept saying "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" The stone slabs seem to be written by insects."

"Bugs? Writing?"

Hu Bayi said these two words, opened his mouth, and swallowed what he wanted to say to the fat man.The extremely social nature shown by those bugs, and the higher intelligence than ordinary bugs, made him dare not easily deny Fatty's statement.

The fat man went on to say that he had seen the insect's feet up close before, and they were indeed in the shape of long rice grains with narrow ends and a slightly bulging middle.As the fat man said, he also showed the footprints made by the blood-stained feet when a grasshopper landed on him earlier.

Xiao Ran's brows were congealed into pimples, there were indeed several insect footprints on the fat man's body, which were exactly the same as those long rice grains on the stone slab above.

Hu Bayi also frowned, he really couldn't believe that those bugs were smart enough to have their own words.He thought for a while, and then came up with a more rational statement: "I remembered, didn't you say that Ba Kun and those other Tianling Sanren believe in a Xia Niang? Could it be that they just borrowed bugs?" The shape of the footprints made something similar to a password. The ones who write are not worms, but the Tianling Sanren group of people who believe in Xia Niang."

Xiao Ran thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Brother Hu's statement is more reliable. He held it in the sacrificial well of the Ghost King Temple. He has also seen this kind of insect foot writing. Maybe it was written by the man below. Maybe they Writing this kind of characters is not only for encryption, but also for simplicity. After all, it has been turned into half a person and half a worm. It is estimated that the brain has broken a lot. It should not be able to write our kind of complicated characters. Maybe those worms Zuwen is a kind of pinyin..."

The fat man waved his hands at this time and said: "What are you doing! We are Captain Mojin... Oh, and General Faqiu Zhonglang, who is not a real archaeologist, why do you find out about this? Take a look at this tomb quickly Is there something good in there!"

The fat man's eyes kept aiming at the three strangely shaped coffins in the center of the tomb.Hu Bayi warned: "Let's be careful, especially you, don't bring out those messy things again. Don't rush to touch the coffin, first explore the surrounding roads before we talk."

Fatty remembered his experience above, opened his mouth and said nothing.When Hu Bayi turned around, he muttered, "If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have found the tomb below, would we?"

Several people wiped off the soil on their bodies, and carefully inspected every waxy insect nest and passage.When passing by a wax pillar, Xiao Ran found that the pillar was much thinner than the columnar insect nest above, and the thinnest part was not even as thick as his own leg.There are no hexagonal openings on the pillars, only some long and narrow cracks.

Xiao Ran raised his flashlight and searched for the long and narrow crack. There was only thick dust inside, without any trace of moth.Occasionally there is a cool breeze blowing from the cracks.

Hu Bayi also looked carefully at the side, and said: "These pillars are not insect nests, they should be mainly passages, and the secondary function is vents. No wonder there are no robbery holes or other openings in this underground tomb, and we are not suffocated. The taste is really not good..."

Since it wasn't a worm's nest, Xiao Ran felt relieved.From the observation along the way, it can be seen that the insect nests in this tomb have indeed been abandoned, and it is impossible for any bastard flies or human flies to crawl out of these places.

"Xiao Gang! Xiao Gang! Look who that is!"

Xu Er suddenly yelled and ran over. Xiao Ran's tense strings had just relaxed, and he was defenseless. When Xu Er called him, Xiao Ran turned his head quickly as if in a state of stress, and tightly clenched his hands on the handle of the knife.Hu Bayi next to him also turned around at the same time, quickly holding the gun in his hand.

Xu Er was also taken aback by the sudden guard of the two, and quickly stopped halfway, pointing to the mural behind him and said, "Xiao Gang! That person! That person in Xia Niangmiao!"

Seeing that there was no danger, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to Xu Er: "What are you talking about? Be careful. Who is Xia Niangmiao? Xia Qiusheng or who? Damn you?"

While cursing, Xiao Ran walked to the mural with Hu Bayi and Fatty.When the flashlight hit the person in the first mural, Xiao Ran was also stunned for an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head, stared wide-eyed and asked Xu Er: "This...isn't this... the first sage?"
