Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 105 Black Stone City
105 Chapter 1 Black Stone City
After passing that stretch of road, it was indeed like Shunzi said there were no more stone-patterned centipedes.After there were no bugs, their speed became relatively faster, but there was still endless darkness above. Wu Xie thought to himself, he really didn't know where to climb to the end.

I don’t know how long it took, but my physical strength was restored to full, and my little brother took me to the cliff with stone steps.

When I saw those stone steps, I couldn't help but sigh... As expected, it was indeed not something I could climb up... Looking at those small and pitiful stone steps, I said to him: "Brother, this is straightforward. If I climb, I really can’t get up.”

The little brother just looked at me indifferently. I waited for a long time and he didn't say anything.

While crawling, the fat man asked Chen Pi Asi: "Old man, let me ask you something. What happened to the corpse-carrying in Kowloon that you told us at the station? I have been listening, but I have never heard you mention it again. ah?"

Chen Pi Asi stopped and looked at Fatty, then at Monk Hua.Monk Hua immediately understood and explained: "Actually, we don't know that all our information comes from the copper fish. This "Nine Dragons Carry the Corpse" may be a lost funeral system. The original text record seems to be It means that the coffin of Emperor Wannu was carried by nine dragons guarding his body, and no one could get close to it. However, the Jurchen language is almost lost, and I am not sure whether my translation is accurate." He said I read the original text to them.

I couldn't understand a single sentence of the original text, but I had some thoughts about Jiulong. After he finished muttering, I said: "If the Eastern Xia Kingdom regards giant centipedes as dragons, then what kind of Jiulong? I don't think they are all big insects. Brother, what do you think?" I saw that he didn't respond, maybe he was thinking about something... Let's take a good look at Wu Xie's perspective first.

After hearing what they said, Ye Cheng jokingly said: "Then if the content on this fish is true, if we want to open the coffin of Emperor Wannu, don't we have to learn from Nezha first and fight against the Third Prince of the Dragon King? "

The fat man said: "Don't worry about it. I think this Nine Dragon Corpse Coffin probably means nine dragons are carved under the coffin, which is symbolic. If there are really dragons, then we will make a fortune. If we catch one of them and take him back, Once we put it in the Forbidden City, there would be a huge crowd of people keeping it, and the money to collect the money would be tens of thousands."

When Wu Xie heard that the fat man only had money in his eyes, he couldn't help but offend him and said to him: "You are so good at what you do and only care about money. If you can really catch the dragon, then you will be Sun Dasheng. I haven't seen him yet." There is no one with your stature who has surpassed Sun Dasheng."

When the fat man heard this, he said: "Hey, what's wrong with being fat? Let me tell you, fat man, I rely on this body to reach heaven and earth. The wind and clouds change suddenly, and the earth shakes!" Suddenly he With a sound of "Oops", a gust of wind blew over from the side of the cliff, almost knocking him off. Wu Xie quickly grabbed him and pulled him back to the cliff.

Wu Xie turned around and saw that the stairs had reached the end of the gap. There seemed to be a large space outside, but it was too dark to see clearly.

There was a protruding rock there, and they climbed up.Monk Hua first lit up a cold firework and illuminated the surrounding area, but except for the cliff they were standing on, nothing could be illuminated in front of them.

Monk Hua threw Leng Yanhuo down the cliff. Leng Yanhuo fell straight down and turned into a small dot. When it fell to the ground, it was almost invisible, just like a mountain surrounded by cliffs. Like a huge basin.

At this time, Chen Pi Asi said: "Flare."

Then there was a "bang!" sound, and the flare slid across a long arc and shot into the darkness in front of them.

Not to mention, the flare really looked like a meteor when it was fired. After the flare traveled a long distance, it began to fall, and then a dazzling white ball of light gradually exploded. It was indeed very dazzling. Wu The evil side lit up.

Wu Xie wanted to raise the telescope and look forward, but when he raised his hand halfway, he froze. Under the white light of the flare, he saw a crater with a diameter of at least 3 kilometers. This was an extremely huge gray basalt. giant basin formed.

My brother and I saw that the other side of the cliff was like a giant bowl. They were standing on one side of the bowl wall. We were still outside the bowl. Compared with this big bowl, we were extremely small.

From Wu Xie's perspective, I saw the scene in the big bowl and couldn't help but say: "It's so big there...are those trees? That used to be a forest?"

The little brother said calmly: "There should be an underground forest."

"Underground...the forest is collapsing, right?"

The little brother said "En": "The underground forest may be due to orogeny or volcanic activity, causing large areas of strata to collapse, thus forming a huge valley, causing the entire forest to sink to the bottom of the valley. This crater should have been exposed in the past. In the atmosphere, due to volcanic eruptions or sudden volcanic activity, the trees here are sulfurized and die."

At this time, someone said: "Look over there." Then they fired two more flares and flew to the top of the crater.

After intensifying the light, we saw a magnificent building complex in the center of the volcanic basin, deep in the underground forest. Although we could not see the whole picture clearly, we were sure that it was a huge black mass. Stone City.

The little brother suddenly patted me, I looked up at him, and he said softly to me: "The little moon will be extinguished in a while, let's follow."

At first glance, it seemed unreasonable, because if you wanted to climb over, why would you turn off the light and follow him? I was stunned for a moment, but suddenly I seemed to understand. I blinked, stretched out my gesturing hand, and looked at him. Asked: "You mean, let me use..."

The little brother touched my head and looked at me and said, "When the flare goes out, we will follow quietly."

I nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I understand! I promise to complete the task."

Wu Xie is now extremely surprised. The scale of this building complex is beyond his imagination. If there is an underground palace below these buildings, then the scale of this place may be comparable to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

He thought about the scenes in the tomb paintings on the seabed. The real Yunding Heavenly Palace should have been above our heads, but after the avalanche, all the spiritual palaces above may have been crushed. I really don’t know how deep it is above our heads. The snow serves as the seal of this underground palace.

The flares that were fired again were all extinguished in the darkness. They turned on the flashlights again, but now several of them were obviously low on power and were much dim.

Except for Sunja, they all seemed excited.I couldn't calm down for 10 minutes.When they slowly calmed down, Chen Pi Asi said to Monk Hua: "Leave the useless things and prepare ropes. Let's go into battle lightly."

Then they began to sort out their equipment, discarding some unnecessary things and placing them on the platform there to avoid unnecessary risks when climbing with heavy loads.

I took out my Qilin Key and prepared to take my brother to use short-distance teleportation. These are the basic skills of the city lord. Before, I didn’t dare to use them easily if I didn’t have enough spiritual power. This time, I have enough spiritual power, and it’s small. After upgrading Foxtail, I found that it can restore some spiritual power to a small extent. Just turn on the time difference and use it. It can use spiritual power to do things. In this environment, it can make up for the lack of physical fitness.

Wu Xie and the others knew that the air below was so bad that it could kill them, and such a high concentration of sulfur-containing gas was very toxic to them, so they all put on gas masks.Then he started climbing down the cliff with the rope.

Wu Xie felt that the strange smell permeating down there seemed to be unable to be filtered out even by wearing a gas mask.

This place is originally underground, and there is insufficient oxygen. There are a lot of dead trees under the cliff, and there are also sulfur-containing poisonous gases emitted by volcanic activities. We should make a comprehensive protective mask. We have to think of it before going down, and think about it as we go. He muttered: "Remember, this gas is acidic, corrosive, flammable and explosive. It invades the human body from the respiratory tract, hinders the transportation of oxygen, causes hypoxia in the body, and destroys the normal operation of the circulatory system. It is harmful to those with exposed eyes and skin. It will cause damage to all organs. In fact, a small amount is still harmful to the body.

This thing most obviously damages people's sense of smell. You can smell it by looking at their expressions, which means that although the concentration is high, it's still reasonable. Remember, if the concentration of this thing is high, the olfactory nerve will be paralyzed and you won't be able to smell the smell.

However, the poisonous gas is still too strong for breathing. If their normal gas masks want to cope with this concentration of poisonous gas, I am afraid that the effect is limited and the time is short. It is still dangerous for them to continue like this.

No, no, it’s too complicated to think about. In fact, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. The most important thing in this situation is to ensure that you can breathe high-quality air. There is still a big difference between a spiritual power shield and an ordinary protective shield. The spiritual power layer First isolate the toxic gases, block them all in the outer layer, and set up a spiritual layer inside the protective cover that can generate air by itself, and a spiritual layer that filters the exhaled gas. The air concentration ratio will not reach the chemical level. The reaction value is very safe, yes, yes, that’s it! "

After thinking about it, I waved my little hand, and after a while, two things that looked like transparent bubbles appeared in front of me. I looked at the little brother, and then waved my hand to make the two bubbles gradually get bigger, and put them on each of us. The two people became invisible following the bubbles. I said to him: "Although we have Qilin blood, this is a chemical poison and we still need to be protected. However, this is the first time I have made this type of protective shield. If you You must tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

We both waited quietly for them to descend to the bottom of the cliff.After a while, all of them arrived below. I took the little brother's hand and took him to the "bowl edge" first.

Pan Zi said to them: "This is a dead pit. We have to hurry up. If we stay here for a long time, we may die of lack of oxygen. I heard when I was in the army that even birds can't fly over this place."

Monk Hua lit up the powerful cold fireworks to illuminate the surrounding environment. Under their feet was a two-car-wide stone path paved with stone slabs, which led almost straight to the front. This is the sacred path of the mausoleum, leading directly to the main entrance of the mausoleum. .Standing here, you can vaguely see a huge black shadow at the end.

Monk Hua asked Chen Pi Asi: "How shall we go?"

Chen Pi'asi replied: "Follow the divine way and first go to the imperial mausoleum."

Wu Xie and the others had no experience in dealing with the imperial tomb, so they all followed behind and trotted over.

Along the way, we passed many dead trees that had fallen on the Shinto, and soon we arrived at the first stone gate of the Imperial Tomb, called the Tianmen. After passing the stone gate, there will be a large number of stone carvings on both sides of the Shinto.

When passing by the stone gate, Chen Pi Asi said: "When you come out, remember to walk backwards to avoid hitting the guillotine gate."

"What door did he say? Why do you have to walk backwards?" Another thing I have never heard of.

The younger brother explained: "This first stone gate is where the coffin bearers and funeral teams are massacred. After the burial ceremony is completed, everyone will be stabbed when they leave this gate."

Hearing this, I muttered: "The massacre... That's too tragic. People who were obviously helping were killed. The thoughts of these ancient people are so strange..."

The little brother looked at me and continued: "This door is therefore equivalent to the door of yin and yang. If the tomb robbers enter along the Shinto, or the first door into the underground palace, then when they come out, they must come out upside down, otherwise they will It’s very troublesome.”

"Oh... Because everyone who comes out with a straight face has been clicked. If a person who goes in and comes out with a straight face is not clicked, he is afraid that he will attract the same people who were clicked here. So exit backwards. Does it mean you’ve never been in there before? Isn’t that deceiving yourself? It’s really strange..."

The little brother looked at the "why" look on my face and found it very interesting. Obviously the little girl understood it as soon as she heard it. She also knew the reasons and reasons why the ancients did this, but she couldn't agree with this approach. For the girl, this It is an endless loop of questions, where the question is the answer and the answer is the question.

The little brother put his hand on the front of my head, squeezed it, and said to me in a soft tone: "Don't think about it." When he squeezed me, I closed my eyes unconsciously, and I stopped thinking about those tangled things in an instant. Problem, because I feel so comfortable, those strange problems suddenly feel less important.

Wu Xie and the others knew that almost no native masters had the opportunity to follow the Shinto to enter the imperial mausoleum and steal excavations. They should be one of the extremely rare few.The people who were able to rob imperial tombs in the past were either warlords or tycoons. Those people should not be afraid of the so-called guillotine.Who can say for certain whether there will be any problems? The strange things I have seen recently have been an eye-opener. Anyway, it is always right to pay attention.

After passing the Tianmen, there were white stone figures and horses every five meters on both sides of the Shinto. They didn't do archaeology, so they couldn't move these things away. They didn't even look at them along the way and just headed straight ahead.

As he was running, the fat man running at the front suddenly stopped. Wu Xie didn't pay attention as he was just running. He bumped into him and fell to the ground.

This was so sudden that the fat man almost fell down due to the impact. Wu Xie asked him hurriedly: "Why did you stop suddenly? What's wrong?"

The fat man turned his head and looked behind him, and said softly with a pale face: "It seems like there is someone standing on the roadside."
