Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 116 Symbols
116 Chapter 116 Symbols

Wu Xie looked at this new symbol and began to mutter in his heart. Although he could no longer remember the symbols in the undersea tomb, the one in front of him clearly had different contents from the two he had just seen.

Frowning, he looked at the symbol and muttered: "This foreign language is not a foreign language, but it is a word made up of English letters, but the arrangement of the letters is too irregular. What does this mean?"

The fat man saw the sad look on his face and asked, "How naive? Is there anything fishy about this?"

Wu Xie guessed: "Look, if this is just a simple guide symbol, then logically speaking, the symbol should not change back and forth. The symbol in front of you is obviously different from the previous one, and it was carved in a hurry. If it wasn't If you want to change the pattern on a whim, it is most likely that you were in a hurry or in a dangerous situation. If that is the case, this symbol may be a guide symbol, but it may also be a reminder or something. symbol.

The symbol we saw at the bottom of the river and at the entrance of the corridor did not encounter any danger after entering. If we assume that the meaning of that symbol is "safe to enter", then this different symbol is engraved here, and the meaning is definitely It's different. It's hard to guarantee that it won't be a warning, indicating that there is some terrible danger in this direction of the tomb passage. "

After hearing Wu Xie's idea, Fatty and the others felt that there was something wrong, so they decided to stop where they were, not daring to act rashly for the time being. The few of them continued to study what the symbol meant, but they had no clue.

The more they think about it, the more complicated it becomes. If you have to figure out the specific meaning of the letters, it's fine if there are rules and origins. But if the person who carved the symbols created the content yourself, you may not be able to guess it even if you guess it. You know the general idea. That's all it means.

Just like I leave symbols so that I can be transported safely when I'm in danger, most of them have no specific meaning, so sometimes I just put the symbols on them, which most people can't see.Sometimes I stick something on it, like a pasted-up painting in an undersea tomb.Occasionally, I would engrave something, the kind that my brother once left on notes.If the elder brothers saw this, they would think it was left by several waves of people... It was really possible.

At first I thought the little brother was leaving a symbol for Wu Xie and the others, but then I thought about it, no, it’s not like that.

My brother has actually left his symbols in many ancient tombs that he will visit in the future, especially those with core content. He usually goes alone when he goes to these places, and does not need to give them to others. He leaves symbols, so the symbols can only be left for himself.

He can recover part of his lost memory when he sees symbols. He once said that he needs a trigger point to recover his memory. It doesn't mean that you tell him something and he will remember it.So this symbol definitely serves as a trigger point.

If you don't know what the "eat" symbol means, then the symbol that we have seen appear most often should mean "safe here", because it is indeed quite safe every time you walk along it.

Generally, the basic meaning of leaving a mark in a place is to record "who visited this place."

The meaning is different if you leave the symbols first and then go in, or if you leave the symbols after the transfer is completed.

When he sees the symbols he left behind, he can recall the lost part of his memory related to this place. So to sum up, I think the letters may be similar to, and the basic meaning is "Zhang Qiling came here to visit." Plus the reminder "It's safe to pass here" There are monsters here that are dangerous, don't go there"...

That... Of course, the content that my brother carved should be more serious, and maybe it has a deeper meaning.But it should have this effect anyway, right?

Uncle San followed the ancient information and went directly inside. An Ning and the others also got the route information. The order was usually correct. If they were not in danger and ran away, there was no need to break up the team. They didn't need to leave symbols. Maybe they My uncle and I never entered the tomb over at Jindui during our journey here.

Following the little brother's method, we went down a long distance after a while. However, along the way, we felt that our arms and shoulders were getting more and more sore, and the strength of our hands was getting weaker and weaker. Our hands were rubbed red every time. After jumping to the next chain to steady myself, I shook my hands one by one and took a moment to let my brain think. But after taking a look, I saw that the road below was still far away, so I had better keep going down quickly.

Wu Xie said to them: "Instead of guessing the meaning of the letters, it is better to guess who left them. I think if the symbols are left for us, they should at least be written with symbols that we can understand. The person who carved these symbols can The form used is so obscure, and now it seems that the purpose is not to help us, we may just get a cheap advantage, this symbol is for others to see.”

The fat man guessed: "Could it be that Aning? They separated in groups and left secret codes for their own teams.

Wu Xie nodded: "It is possible, but there is no basis for it." There is always a feeling in his heart. Could this symbol mean that there are rice dumplings in this tomb passage? "

Pan Zi suddenly said: "I think the information represented by this symbol cannot be a hint of danger. Think about it, you have to walk through the tomb passage to know if there is any danger. There is no reason for them to go back after walking through it." Carving this symbol, that is to say, this symbol was carved when the person was about to enter the tomb passage, indicating that he had gone in this direction, and telling subsequent people the order of his walking. As for what was inside, when he carved it, I don’t know. I think he may be using “tracking language.”

The fat man asked him: "What is "tracking language"?"

Following Pan Zi, he introduced them to the "Tracking Language" and said, "When I served in the jungle, I learned a lot about rescue. The "Tracking Language" means that once you are in danger and lost in the jungle, you have to find it yourself. While walking, you can use this mark to mark your walking route. This representation method has special rules. The rescue team can know what you have done in this area based on the mark you left. For example, sufficient food is a mark. , when the food is finished, it is another sign, and when someone in the team is in distress is another sign. The rescue team can follow your sign and know your current situation along the way. If things get extremely bad, they can use the contents of these signs as Based on this, upgrade the rescue strategy. I heard that this method was invented when the Americans fought against the Vietnamese."

The fat man asked him: "You have studied it, can you understand it?"

Pan Zi shook his head and said: "I mean, maybe, this code is completely different from what I learned at the time, and I can't recognize it." The fat man sighed: "Then it seems that the situation is not good. If it is really "tracking language", That shows that the person who left this symbol is not determined to win, he is preparing for his second echelon, which means that he is not confident that he can come out alive this time."

I thought to myself, if my little brother hadn't been strong enough, the places he went to would be places where most people would have no chance of returning... He would sometimes be injured when he went there, and there would be times when he narrowly escaped death.

Pan Zi said: "So after saying so much, it has no practical effect. I think, since this symbol is not for us to see, then we should pretend that we have not seen it. Our main task now is to find Mr. San. The symbol is not San." It was carved by the master, which means that the third master may not have taken this path. We still go our own way. We have been in many fights before, and it is not that we have never encountered this kind of situation. I don’t believe that we can even explore the tomb passage. It can’t even be settled.”

This time, the fat man finally felt that what Pan Zi said sounded good to him and said: "Old Pan, this sounds like a human saying. How about we divide our troops into two groups? You and Xiao Wu go to that side, and Xiao Shunzi and I go to this side." On the other hand, let's see who wins. It's a straight path anyway. If you find something wrong when you go to the end, just turn back. The other pair who goes on the right path will wait outside the coffin hall."

Wu Xie was still worried and said: "That's right. I'm afraid that the main tomb passage is not so easy to walk. Look at the four-foot stone slabs underground. This kind of tomb passage is likely to be equipped with mechanisms for flowing arrows and turning boards, especially if it is two teams. In the end, we all died in the tomb passage, and once we separated, we said goodbye forever."

The fat man smiled and said to Wu Xie: "If you say so, then you shouldn't come. You just have enough to eat and have free time. Since you have gone to the underground palace, you shouldn't be afraid of such a trivial matter."

Wu Xie didn't refute him, he just stared at him and said to himself, I didn't want to come here by myself. My ambition has always been to be a wealthy citizen. I don't know what kind of luck I have this year. I have made all kinds of mistakes. Zongzi, now you don’t even want me to be careful. What’s this?

Pan Zi said to the fat man: "I think the mistress is right. The people from Aning's cavalry must be nearby. We should not only guard against Zongzi but also people. Two guns have stronger firepower than one, and in case of emergency If one team of people went out and disappeared and didn't come back, what about the other team? It's better for us to be together, at least there is someone to take care of us."

At this time, Shunzi also expressed his position: "No matter what, I must deliver Boss Wu, and I must follow him."

The fat man raised his hand and said, "Okay, I surrender. You two are trying to create a personality cult. You are isolating me. I'm in bad luck. You can do whatever you want. At worst, we all die together."

Pan Zi said: "Let's go in the marked direction first. If something goes wrong, we can look back. Just be careful in everything."

After following them, I packed up and prepared to go that way.

As soon as they said they wanted to go to the side where Big Head was playing, I said "Huh?" and said, "Brother, your symbols are obviously different. They guessed the same thing at the beginning. How come you can go there right away?" It's over...if Big Brain comes to play with them again, they will be in trouble."

The little brother was about to jump to the next level and said softly: "It's okay." As soon as he jumped down and stood still, he looked up at me. I was shaking my hands. Now my hands seemed to be a little swollen and red again. It's swollen again.The little brother said: "Be careful, don't be anxious, there is still time." I agreed with a smile.

Wu Xie originally thought that he would spend at least half an hour in this tomb passage. Unexpectedly, this section of the tomb passage came to the end in less than 200 meters, and a huge jade door suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wu Xie recognized at a glance that this was the gate of the Hades Palace.

The fat man took a look and said: "Oh, the door has been blown up for us."

Wu Xie looked at it and said: "It seems that behind this door is the core part of the entire underground palace, because the tomb door at the entrance of the tomb passage will not use such good stone. The jade door of the tomb chamber will most likely have a mechanism, and the stones on both sides will The wall is likely to be hollow, and poisonous stone powder is usually filled inside. Moreover, this mechanism is often impossible to crack, because once the tomb chamber is closed, there is no intention to open it again. Even if you are the craftsman who designed this door, you will not enter after closing it. No. But with everything blown up like this, someone has obviously entered, whether it was Aning or others.

The fat man said: "We're all here, don't stand there in a daze, the door has been blown up like this, and some of the mechanisms may have been destroyed as well. Let's go in and have a look."

After speaking, several people leaned down one by one and entered the tomb behind the door.

After entering, the fat man said: "Let's make the light bigger so we can see clearly."

After a while everyone lit up the cold fireworks, and in an instant, their eyes lit up.

After thinking about it, I realized that the current expressions of these brothers are not something ordinary people can resist.

Wu Xie and the others did not expect that they would see such a suffocating scene, and they almost stood frozen in place, unable to move.
