Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 444 Siguniang Mountain ([-])

444 Chapter 444 Siguniang Mountain ([-])
Ever since I learned that the Zhang family's secret was revealed from Zhang Qishan's mouth, no matter how respectfully or kindly he spoke to me, I just felt that he was playing tricks on me.

In terms of strategy, Zhang Qishan leads troops in wars and is the heir to his Zhang family. He is very scheming and quick-witted. He also has the great military advisor Jie Jiuye and the fortune teller Qi Laoba. He also has the ability to be cunning. Above me, he might be able to see something in every move I make, and they have more experience than me, so I probably can't fight them alone.

He is a master of tomb robbing, but I am not. If he tries to trick me in this matter, I will definitely be the one who suffers the consequences.

He knows some things about the Zhang family, but he wants to know more. He wants to know the parts that only the patriarch can know. But the fact that I will protect my brother has always been public information in the Zhang family, no matter whether I can or not. Whether we go into the cave together or stay outside, I have a way to protect my brother. Zhang Qishan must also know it very well, but he seems to need me to clearly explain whether to go or not, which makes me a little strange. It feels like he knows my movements. It seemed very important to him, but I always felt something was wrong, so at the end of their meeting, I did not answer his questions clearly.

After the matter was finished, everyone went back to their respective residences. Liyue helped Bai Hao prepare the meal, while her brother still sat aside in silence.

While we were eating, I couldn't help but keep thinking about Zhang Qishan's various reactions when I asked him questions just now.

Liyue served me some food, but when she saw me frowning while eating, she asked me, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

I took a bite of food, chewed it and said, "The atmosphere in Jiumen is different from before, and Zhang Qishan is also very different from before."

Bai Hao brought a pot of soup and sat down and said: "The previous events have caused them to change so many people, and their style of doing things will become normal. That guy Zhang Qishan has a different stance from you now, so his speech will naturally be different."

I said slowly: "I know this, but at this critical moment, we can't be careless, right?"

I ate my food and thought for a while and said, "I asked him a question just now. I asked him, "Was it fun in Guangxi a few years ago?" When I asked my question, he didn't answer immediately, but paused. For a moment, his expression changed slightly in a short period of time, several times.

My first reaction when I saw him was to raise his eyebrows slightly, open his eyes a little wider, and open his lips slightly, as if he was a little surprised by the question I asked. Just for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled. He said to me, "Guangxi is a good place. Let's go and play together when we have time." As soon as he finished speaking, one corner of his mouth turned up and he smiled. It felt like a very contemptuous smile, but it turned into a normal smile in an instant. I smiled, and my intuition told me that there was something wrong with him, at least he was hiding something from us.

Zhang Qishan was originally just like the average Zhang family. When he reaches a certain age and timing, some memories related to Zhang family secrets will automatically appear in his mind, but he knows very little information. Logically speaking, he should not know about Guangxi Gulou. That's right, but he knew it very clearly.

Brother Chi Yan has already checked for me. During the ten years he was in the Snow Mountains, there was an army claiming to be an archaeological team near the ancient building in Guangxi. This matter was not recorded in the major events in Guangxi during those years. So it should be done secretly, and it should be his team who went there, so he knew that there was an ancient building of the Zhang family in that place. Zhang Qiling had to follow the ancient building before he could enter. It was also because of this that the nationwide manhunt for his brother started. , and the Zhang family in Guangxi had to hide again.

He wanted to find you to enter the ancient building, and you happened to also want to find him to help the Zhang family, so you now have this cooperative relationship.

If his boss hadn't asked him to find the secret after knowing the secret of the Zhang family, Zhang Qishan should have had the heart to explore the secret of the Zhang family, but they just happened to come together. "

As I said that, I looked at my brother and said to him seriously: "Brother, although he didn't expect that you would come to him on your own, he was already prepared for what he was going to do after he found you. I just can't believe it now." he.

He was so angry that he insisted on confirming whether I was going or not. Who knew if there were any other reasons? After all, it is not just the Zhang family who is doing this now. There are Jiumen, people above him, and The hidden Wang family and the Zhang family have too many secrets, the interests of all parties are also great, and the people are too complex. The more critical the moment comes, the more careful you have to be. It is right to be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years, so this time, let’s talk about it. I will go with you no matter what. "

My brother looked at me. I picked up something for him to eat and put it to my mouth. He neither agreed nor refused. He just ate the mouthful of food held by his chopsticks in one bite.

When I woke up early the next morning, I followed him all the time. Most of the day passed, and I saw that they had prepared everything they needed to prepare, and they were about to start climbing the cliff.

Climbing is my weakness. I was nervously grabbing my clothes. My brother dragged me to my side and signaled to me that he would take me up. So when no one was paying attention, I shrank and hid in his arms. .

Climbing the cliff was easy for my brother. We quickly reached the top. After I climbed up, half of my little head popped out from my brother’s collar, revealing a pair of big eyes. I saw that the entrance of the cave was not small. There is a lot of mud sealing it.

Liyue has always helped me protect my brother, so she came up directly behind us. Bai Hao didn't want to be too public, so he disguised himself and mingled with our own Zhang family team.

After almost everyone came up, we spent some time digging out the mud at the entrance of the cave, and we started to go into the cave. As soon as we entered, we saw the passage ahead, which was the only way to get inside. Rows of jars with one side are neatly stacked, and many are stacked on both sides of the cave wall. There are many small holes on the cave wall, more like grids, which are used to store bamboo slips, letters, ancient books, and silk inscriptions. Things to use.

I heard some people say in surprise: "There are so many here."

Someone said: "Look, it's this kind of jar again. It's everywhere here. The black patterns on the jar are very weird. What's in it?"

Another person said: "It doesn't matter what's inside, the things in the cave are quite evil, so just don't touch them."

Someone reminded everyone: "Be careful, avoid the jars and the hair and take these out first." I followed the direction of my brother's flashlight and looked into the cave, and saw long black hair-like hair hanging everywhere in the cave. The same black hairs. I remembered correctly that this thing should be the same as the hair-like black hair fungi I saw in the Changsha tomb. They are very old here, and they are many and long, and some of them droop like small waterfalls. On the rock walls or stones, some are spread like black velvet blankets.

I pulled my brother, meaning what do we do?My brother directly raised his hand and pressed me gently into the clothes. Then I felt that in an instant, he seemed to fly up. I was in the clothes on his chest, bumping left and right, and finally bounced up and down. I feel like my brother has fallen to the ground. There are jars on the road that cannot be touched or moved. I guess he used the relatively dense grids on the cave wall to move.

When I looked up again, we were already in a large stone chamber. There were many small grids on the surrounding walls with relief patterns on them. There was a large metal disk in the center of the stone chamber, and the disk was slowly moving. 's turning.

My brother walked towards the rotating disk. There were long, strange character-like symbols and some paintings on the disk. The content on it should be some clues. Maybe it was the password they were looking for, but I was can't read.

My brother looked at the disk and pointed at the content on it and said to me, "Write it down."

I immediately observed the metal disc carefully and memorized the various patterns on it in my own way. The painting on it seemed to be talking about one thing. There was an unknown beast with a rope tied to its body and something on it. Looking closely at the characters, it seems that the people in the paintings have no right hands. I also saw characters holding large swords. I feel that the content of these paintings seems to be about the process of the Zhang family catching monsters.

After looking at it carefully for a while, I said to him: "Brother, is this plate a mechanism? Then how do you use it?"

He reached out and touched it, still maintaining a meditative state.

At this time, some of the people outside were responsible for carrying the materials in the cave to the outside, and the other people followed us in one after another.

After a while, I heard someone say to my brother: "Clan Chief, the ravine on the iron plate is a blood channel, right? How about I prepare it?"

My brother replied lightly "Yes", and then walked to the cave wall and looked at the murals above. The paintings were divided into pieces, and the order was messed up. It was impossible to tell what they were, but in detail It looks a little familiar.

I heard someone coming over and quickly shrank into his arms. The man said, "Head of the clan, this is a painting from Banai Zhang's house." My brother took it and looked at it quietly.

At first, the cave was quite peaceful, and everyone was busy with their own business. But suddenly, we heard someone screaming loudly outside, and then more people started making noises. Those of us inside quickly went back to the entrance of the cave to see what we were doing. They were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

Someone shouted: "Who is so careless? Fire, use fire to burn, quickly!"

I saw that those black hairs became extremely excited at some point. A person outside was already covered with black hairs and was struggling.

They have all suffered from the black hair before, and they all know that the black hair is bloodthirsty, gets excited when seeing blood, grows rapidly, engulfs humans, and causes their death. The person should have bled for some reason while holding the bamboo slips. Only then did he get black hair.

Those people started to panic, but what was even weirder was that suddenly there was another scream from another direction, and then the black hairy toadstool quickly swallowed him and drilled into his body. After a while, those black hairs got in. His mouth, and then pouring out of his nose, eyes, and mouth.

We searched for the source of the blood of those people in the cave. Everyone became quiet and listened carefully to the sounds around them.

Suddenly, a sound like rapid breathing sounded in one place, two places, three places, and several places around.

One of the people who was close to the sound was frightened and suddenly behaved strangely. It felt like he had seen something scary, so he began to retreat slowly.

It was pitch black in front of him, and we couldn't see anything there, so the light of several flashlights shone in that direction, and we saw a long black thing in front of the man. Standing up, the man shouted: "There is a snake!"

Immediately afterwards, the snake flew towards him, entangled him, and he couldn't get rid of it. The person close to him reached out to help him, casually took out the knife on his body and chopped it, but the snake's head was raised. Instead of dodging the knife, he stabbed the man's neck with a fierce thrust, and the screams echoed in the cave. The bitten man froze for an instant, then stood there stiffly, and the black-haired bacteria quickly devoured him, He collapsed soon after.

I was completely shocked. The scene was so terrifying. No wonder they had casualties every day. They probably encountered these...

Someone shouted at the frightened man: "Why are you still standing there! You are looking for death, come here quickly!"

The man hurriedly ran towards us, but the black snake wrapped around his leg. This guy was also unlucky. He stumbled and sat on a jar on the ground next to him.

I heard my brother say coldly: "It's over."
