Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 109
109 Chapter 1 On the way
As soon as Wu Xie landed, the screen stopped there. It was obvious that he fell on his face... I was stunned, and the little brother also frowned. We were worried about Wu Xie's condition and stopped. .

I thought about letting Xiao Chong listen to his breathing, to at least confirm whether he was still alive, but he was wearing a full-face gas mask, and the eyes, mouth and nose were buckled, and Xiao Chong kept hiding in his eyes. position, try to keep it as close to the nose as possible, and try to make the bug amplify the volume.

I listened carefully to his breathing through the silicone layer of the mouth and nose mask. After listening for a while, I said slowly: "Okay, okay, brother Wu Xie is still alive. How is it? Can you tell the severity of the injury?"

The guy can hear the breathing frequency and estimate the approximate severity of the injury. He is more professional than me at this. I saw that his expression improved, and it seemed that his life was not in danger.

After waiting for a while, the screen of Xiao Chong began to shake. It was Wu Xie who gradually started to wake up. I quickly restored the volume and put it back near his eyes.Then I heard him coughing as if he was choking. I muttered, "Is he vomiting blood?"

Wu Xie gradually recovered. The scenes there were trembling. Although it was dark all around, he felt like he was sitting up.

After waking up, Wu Xie sat up. The surroundings were too dark, making him unable to see his surroundings. He touched the ground and found that the sand and stones at the bottom of the moat were fairly flat. He thought it was okay, otherwise he would have fallen to his death this time. Knocked to death.

He sat up a little straighter, and the broken goggles fell off with a crash. The gas mask on his face was seriously out of shape and cracked. He looked down and saw where he was when he came down on his face. It turned out that he happened to hit a sharp stone, and this mask protected him.It took him a long time to get it off his face.

I saw that as soon as he took the mask into his hand, it clicked and split into several pieces. I couldn't help but said, "It's a good thing there is a gas mask, otherwise it would be Brother Wu Xie who died heroically..."

Without the protection of the mask, the smell of sulfur around Wu Xiejue became stronger and stronger, but after taking a few breaths, he didn't feel any discomfort. He thought that maybe the air quality under the moat was not bad.Throwing down the broken mask, spitting out the blood remaining in his mouth, he looked up.

Fatty and the others were shining their flashlights from above, searching for him everywhere. He couldn't hear what they were shouting now, but he wanted to shout but couldn't. As soon as he got angry, his chest felt severe pain as if it was being torn apart, from the inside out. It spread outwards, and the expression was distorted.

In order to convey the news that he was still alive, he picked up the mask he had just thrown away and knocked it hard on the ground. Although the sound was not loud, it was very quiet here, and this volume should be enough to report the message.

Soon, Fatty and the others discovered Wu Xie and confirmed the location below. After a while, Fatty carried a gun and slid from the bridge more than ten meters high to the bottom. He let go of the rope and raised the gun. After looking around and seeing no movement, he hurriedly ran towards him, knelt down and asked, "Are you fucking okay?

Wu Xie weakly said to him in a hoarse voice: "Is everything okay? Can you try to throw it down once?"

The fat man smiled and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Xie could still joke: "You kid, you scared us to death." Then he whistled above.Panzi and Shunzi also climbed down from above carrying their equipment.

They started to check his injuries. Pan Zi said: "Okay, there are no fractures." Then they bandaged his larger wounds and said: "Why are you still jumping when I tell you to stop? It's a big loss for your life, otherwise you will die." How to explain to Third Master?"

Wu Xie became angry when he heard this: "You still said that I was already in mid-air before you told me to stop. This grandma is not playing video tapes, but she can also rewind... Ouch..." Before he could finish his words, his chest There was a burst of colic, and everyone twisted.

Pan Zi was startled and said quickly: "Don't move, don't move, calm down."

The fat man handed him the kettle and said, "Don't mention it, little innocent. At this height, and there are rocks below, most people will definitely not die or become crippled when they get down. You are destined to be lucky. But this place is too damn evil. It seems that I What I saw on the Shinto side may be this thing that is neither human nor bird, it cannot be an owl."

Shunzi looked up and said to them: "It's strange. Those strange birds don't seem to fly down anymore. Is there something strange here that makes them afraid to come down?"

Wu Xie also looked at the top of his head, and sure enough, they were all gone...

Pan Zi was also a little hesitant, but no one could tell why.

The fat man said, "Let's do this. I'll go take a look around. If there might be a problem here, we'd better go up right away. You guys stay here. Xiao Wu, you take a rest first."

Wu Xie nodded, and Pan Zi said, "I'll go with you." Then, the two of them walked in two directions.

It didn't take long for Fatty to discover countless dark stone figurines in a continuous line in the distance.

We saw that they had found Wu Xie and the wounds had been taken care of. It should be safe under the moat. I looked up at my brother. He looked down at me and led me forward.

After walking for a long distance, I don’t know how long I walked, but I was already sweating, but I still didn’t know how long the river was.There are some sections where the figurines are broken and very serious.

We walked among these stone figurines one after another. The younger brother walked very fast because he was anxious, so I followed closely.But the ground in this ditch is not flat. If you don't pay attention, you will be bumped or tripped by something raised under your feet.I either leaned on those stone figurines or bumped into them. I walked deeper and deeper along the way, bumping and bumping. I always felt that there seemed to be some lumps buried under the ground. Sometimes there were There are some stone figurine heads and stumps stuck in the ground.How could the little brother walk so smoothly? I was obviously walking behind... I was like a roly-poly, swaying every time I walked.

Finally, I finally paid attention to my feet. The guy in front of me suddenly stopped. As soon as I looked up, I fell on top of him and slapped my face on his back.

I covered my face with one hand, and held his arm with the other hand to look forward. It turned out that I had reached the end of the ditch. In front of me was a huge stone river wall. There seemed to be something carved on it, but I couldn't see clearly.

The little brother lowered his head slightly and looked at something. I followed his line of sight and saw that he was looking at the bottom of the river wall. There was a square hole covered by gravel. The stone had been moved away a lot, and the hole was covered with debris. Pitch black.

I asked him softly: "This cave is very similar to the one just now. Is it also a channel?" He didn't say anything. He pulled me to look around the square cave and found a relatively flat stone in the rubble pile on the side. He took out his mountaineering pick and started pounding on it.

After a while, a shallow mark came out. It was the familiar mark that I had seen many times but couldn't understand.I asked softly: "Are you leaving a mark for Wu Xie and the others?"

The little brother put away the mountaineering pickaxe and pulled me back to the entrance of the cave.

"The entrance to the cave has been opened. Aning and the others are in front of us, and they obviously know the route. That means they have already entered from here, right?" The little brother nodded.I asked again: "Shall we chase after him now?" He was stunned for a moment and said: "Let's go." He followed us in one after the other.

Once you enter this hole, you have to walk with your waist down. After walking for a while, there will be a straight upward section. To cross this section, the little brother has to reach back and give me a hand to go up, and then there will be a large downward section. Turning, after passing two such turns, I thought about it in my mind, this shape, this movement, this is a river. If I were a fish, if there was water here, and this was a continuous movement, it would always feel like... ...I asked him: "Brother, the shape of this hole is like swimming under water for a while, coming out for air, and then getting back into the water to continue swimming. And it seems to have a familiar feeling." The brother said: "This is a river, so it's a water pirate cave. Do you remember the corpse cave in Guazi Temple in Shandong?"

"Remember, the grooved water thief hole where the two bad guys hid, that is to say, if there was no water in that hole, it would be the same shape as this hole. It's the same digging method, but the hole is just bigger."

I thought about it and suddenly felt a little lucky and said: "Fortunately, there is no water now, otherwise it would be troublesome... There are many new shoe prints here. An Ning and the others can even find this hole. It must be where she was last time." There are many clues in the tomb of the owner of the underwater tomb, and the third uncle must have found the same clues. Then you and the third uncle..." Just after saying this, he paused: "Thinking again." Then he continued to move forward. Walk.

"I'm not just imagining it. I've been following you 20 years ago about the clues to the undersea tomb. You didn't enter the main tomb. Last time we went there, we didn't enter the main tomb either, so we don't have those clues. I have clues about the route. and Ziyan's are both maps, but we all used teleportation and there was no specific route information. You didn't recall it yourself. So, either the third uncle told you before he came, or you remembered it after he came. .

That Shunzi said that he was the one arranged by Uncle San to wait for Wu Xie, and he also left clues about the route for him. Although I couldn’t understand the message, but you see, Aning and the others took the same route as Uncle San. If you collect information, the way to catch up with Third Uncle must be this way. Brother, this is not your first time here, so it is normal for you to know this way.

However, Wu Xie seems to have not found the key point yet. Even if Shunzi has an accent, they say the six characters (the place where Xuanwu rejects corpses), but Wu Xie has been struggling with the four characters (Xuanwu rejects corpses). He could guess that it would still take time, and he didn't even find the right direction.

When I got the equipment from Chu Guangtou, I knew that the reason why I had to rush was to get ahead of Aning's team. This was the original plan.

As for Chen Pi, I felt that there was something wrong with Chen Pi's appearance from the beginning. He and Uncle San were not on the same page, and they seemed to have been forced in halfway.I know that you have been doing things for him in the past few years when I was in Lingshi, so there were times when I felt that he was still waiting for your reaction, but I think you seemed to be on guard against him. When you think about it, you can tell His purpose is not pure, his purpose is something he shouldn't touch, right.

This Shunzi is very smart and honest. He can tell that there are two waves of people, and he also knows how to get rid of the tangerine peel. This shows that the third uncle was responsible for picking up Wu Xie and this group of people, so he only told the information Wu Xie and others, doesn't this further prove that Chen Pi's appearance was not part of the plan? At least they were not there when Uncle San told Shunzi.

The person walking in the front must be Uncle San now, then An Ning and the others, followed by us, and finally Wu Xie and the others. As for the tangerine peel, it seems that he has gone to another road.

The third uncle has different purposes from Chen Pi, but he can't know what he shouldn't know, so you have to catch up with the third uncle or get ahead of him. "

Speaking of this, it happened to be another vertical upward position. The little brother stretched out his hand to pull me up, looked at me, and said in a soft tone: "You..." Then there was a pause, and I looked at him blankly, not knowing what he was doing. He was going to say something next, but he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Let's go." Then he turned around the corner.

I said "Ah": "What on earth were you going to say just now? It must not be this, right..." I pouted my little mouth and continued to crawl forward.

After a while, Wu Xie and the others gathered together and looked at the ditch that was about one meter deep and 20 meters wide under the river bed fault.

Shunzi was stunned: "What are these?"

Wu Xie stuttered and said: "These seem to be burial figurines. These are chariot and horse figurines, which symbolize the procession of guests or the emperor when traveling. Strange, why are these things here? Shouldn't these be placed in the underground palace or in the palace? In the burial pit?"

The fat man also found it strange: "Imperial mausoleums pay attention to one aura and one momentum. This kind of pile of burial objects in the open air is like a rat spot on a piece of fine white jade. It is the most taboo among taboos. If the emperor had seen this at that time, his house would have been confiscated. It's so weird, Wang Wang Ming would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. Let me take a look."

As he spoke, he climbed down into the ditch, held up a gun with one hand, and used a flashlight to shine on a headless human figurine with the other hand. He said, "Does this costume seem to be Yuan Dynasty clothes or clothes of ethnic minorities?" As he said this, he wanted to use his hand. To touch.

Wu Xie hurriedly said "Oh": "Don't move around. This thing is mysterious. There may be something fishy about it here."

The fat man glanced disapprovingly: "You're afraid of a ball, can it still survive?" He sounded tough, but he actually listened to Wu Xie's words, so he retracted his hand, put the gun on his back, held the flashlight in one hand, and pulled out his waist with the other. With the hunting knife in his hand, he punched the human figurine several times, but there was no response from the human figurine. He turned around and said, "It's genuine, stone man."

Pan Zi was also very curious and immediately climbed down the ditch. Wu Xie felt a little uncomfortable and reminded him: "Be careful."

The fat man looked at it and thought again: "Xiao Wu, are these things valuable?" He asked while trying to lift them up.

Wu Xie nodded and told him: "This thing is a bit fancy, and some people want even parts of it. I know that a terracotta warrior head is worth 200 million, and it's still a beauty. Those horse heads are fewer than human heads, and they are more precious. I can't say the price." "

The fat man looked at these figurines with regret and shook his head: "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's not easy to carry these things."

But what Wu Xie thought was that the blurred faces of these human figurines proved that they had been immersed in water for a long time.In other words, after the construction of the imperial mausoleum is completed, the people above will not be able to see the existence of these things, but what is the significance of putting them here?

Suddenly the fat man said "tsk": "Hey, have you noticed that all the human figurines here are facing the same direction and walking, which is different from what we saw in the market."

Wu Xie didn't notice it at first, but when the fat man mentioned it, he took a closer look and said, "These... seem to be marching."

Pan Zi looked at him and asked, "March?"

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Judging from the carriages and the people's clothing, this is an imperial team. Look at these horses, carriages, and people. They are all walking towards the same place. Their movements seem to be... It represents such a dynamic situation.”

When the fat man heard this, he said, "What you said makes sense, but where are they going? Why don't we go and have a look? The river is not long anyway."

Pan Zi immediately shook his head: "We can't waste time. The third master is injured. If something happens again, we can't run away. Let's not waste our experience here. We don't even know what the third master told us. What do you mean? Instead of making extraneous matters, why not take this moment to think carefully about where the entrance to the underground palace that the Third Master mentioned is, and it just so happens that those strange birds don't seem to fly down either."

Wu Xie was a little timid now. What Pan Zi said was exactly what he wanted. He nodded immediately, and then coughed a few times, indicating that he was seriously injured. Shunzi did not express his position. The fat man looked at everyone like this and said, "Okay, let's rest."
