Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 447 Siguniang Mountain ([-])

447 4Chapter 17 Siguniang Mountain ([-])
My brother always had the habit of leaving behind, so we were the last ones to descend the mountain wall. With Zhang Rishan and the Zhang family members he brought here, I no longer turned into a mini Xiaoxun.

The injured people who had been rescued had all been laid down and fixed on stretchers. About ten people had been rescued. Because everyone was in a hurry to treat the wounded, they immediately went down the mountain without any delay.

I originally thought that going down the mountain would be pretty fast anyway, so I could just follow them, but because they were in urgent need of help, everyone stepped up their pace and moved faster, so we walked down the mountain in a hurry.

In June in Siguniang Mountain, the morning and night are relatively cool, and at noon it is still a little hot under the strong sun. As the sun rises higher and higher, the temperature also soars.

I was also one of the injured. I was dizzy due to the fever after being poisoned. I was small and could not keep up with them after walking for a while.

Seeing that I was panting and dizzy, my brother felt sorry for me. He suddenly stood still and stopped in front of me. He grabbed my arm and squatted down to my height. He twisted his body and put it on his back, waiting. It was already noon when we arrived at the campsite.

The wounded were parked directly in the open space of the camp. The camp immediately became noisy. Several families crowded over and the atmosphere was very tense.

These newly wounded people must have been bitten by black snakes. All of them had black faces and black lips. I saw that the people who treated them quickly found injections and injected them into their bodies. It felt like they should be detoxification and anti-inflammatory injections.

Almost all of their wounds were stained with black fungi. I saw several of them taking out their own knives. Some were disinfected with disinfectant or burned with fire. Then they used the sterilized knives to directly Insert it into the wound of the wounded person and dig out the black hairy balls from the flesh.

There are few wounds, and the black hair fungus penetrates shallowly, and the person faints after a few pains. Those with many wounds, and the black hair fungus penetrates deep into the body, suffers incomparably.

If the rescuers wanted to remove the black fungi that seemed to have taken root in the flesh, they could only dig into their wounds.

Bunches of hair-like black hairy fungi are hanging on the flesh of the wound like hooks. The rescuer must use great force to pull them out. The living black hairy fungi are There will also be a game with the rescuer. If you loosen your hand a little, the black hair fungus will pierce a few more points into the flesh.

Finally, the long filaments of the black hair fungus were rolled up with a large amount of blood and a small amount of minced meat of the injured and were pulled out of the wound. Some people fainted from the pain, but they woke up from the pain while dealing with another wound. This process was repeated over and over again, and the pain was so painful that they struggled to survive.

Within a short time, both the wounded and those who treated their wounds were covered in blood. The scene was horrific, and the camp was filled with a strong smell of blood.

At the same time, I was dragged back to the tent by my brother and stuffed into the quilt. I lay on the quilt and listened to the busy noise of everyone outside the tent, and the pitiful wails of the wounded in pain. Those who listened were frightened and their scalps were numb. I'm a little numb, and I feel like I'm getting colder even though I have a high fever.

After being stunned for a while, Brother Bai Hao came in. He said to his brother: "Xiao Qiling, the adjutant boy has asked people to re-count the number of people in the Nine Sects. They will find a way to catch the little Phoenix in the team. They will prepare later. Bring another group of people up so that we can get something back before dark. The medicine kit is in my bag. It has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying products. You can get it for Xiaoxun, I'll get you some food."

After saying that, Bai Hao walked out of the tent. As soon as he left, Liyue brought a basin of cold water and put it on my pillow. Soon a cold towel was placed on my forehead. She saw Zhang Qiling After carrying the medicine box, I went out to help Bai Hao outside the tent and to observe the people in Jiumen. My brother and I were left in the tent.

My brother quickly took out a syringe and a bottle of medicine and was about to give me an injection. He also applied some ointment I made on the wound on my palm and tied it with a cloth strip.

I felt a little groggy after that. I vaguely heard someone calling me brother, and I suddenly remembered that brother Bai Hao said that they were going up the mountain again. I took off the towel on my head and sat up shaking. Call him: "Brother."

He came to me, supported me and asked me to lie down again. My body was already pressed down by him, but I was not completely lying down yet. I grabbed his arm and said to him, "I'll go too."

He paused and continued to help me lie down. I resisted him with all my strength. In terms of sheer strength, I must not be able to resist him. So I simply hugged his waist and said, "You are not allowed to go without me." .”

He was holding my arms and seemed to be hesitating whether to push them away. In order to show my determination, I hugged him tighter.

But after waiting, I saw that he was motionless after holding my arm, neither pushing me away nor hugging me. I looked up at him and found that he was actually looking down at me with a slight expression in his eyes. To show my seriousness, in order to enhance my momentum, I raised my head slightly, cleared my throat and asked him: "Don't you want to say something to me?"

He held my shoulders and sat in front of me. You looked at me and I looked at you.

Bai Hao turned to look at us, smiled faintly and said, "We're about to go." He then walked out of the tent carrying his backpack.

Liyue had been waiting outside for a long time. She saw Bai Hao smiling strangely and asked, "It's not the two of them..."

Bai Hao said: "I've been looking at it for a long time. I've already warned it. It should be out soon."

Looking at my brother's unchanging expression, I began to feel uncertain. I hesitated to speak, and finally I couldn't control my grievances.

But he became less serious. He pulled me closer to him, held the back of my head with one hand, touched my forehead with the other, and said to me softly: "Follow me."

Bai Hao opened the tent curtain and said, "Look, I said it's almost time to come out."

Li Yue said: "Yes, yes, you can guess it correctly."

Zhang Qiling looked at Bai Hao. Bai Hao quickly noticed and asked him, "Is something wrong?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the girl, and Bai Hao said "Oh", patted his chest and said, "I understand, leave it to me." Then he gave Li Yue his bag and made a face at her, and then He said to me: "Xiao Xun, Xiao Qiling will be very busy when he gets to the cave. Let him take it easy when he goes up the mountain. Brother Bai Hao will carry you, so you can rest for a while. When you reach the cliff, you can go on your own." Come."

I glanced at my brother, and it seemed that what Bai Hao said was exactly what he meant. His eyes seemed to tell me, "Go ahead."

Our group set off quickly, walked for a long time, and came to the entrance of the cave again. This time they also brought a sheep up, presumably to use its blood to smear the metal disk.

This time everyone was more careful not to touch the corpse cricket jars. They also built a simple transportation ropeway on the stone wall to facilitate transportation of things.

We came to the metal disk again. They took sheep's blood and sprinkled it evenly on the disk until the last inch of the disk's surface was covered with sheep's blood. We heard the sound of metal mechanisms coming from many places around. There was a sound, and the chain gears rattled for a while, and the originally concave and convex stone grids on the stone wall murals were now flat.

Zhang Rishan looked at it and said: "The paintings on the wall have been reset, and Banai's password is hidden in these squares."

Someone said: "There are so many blocks, how do you know which is the correct password? We have no trace now."

Zhang Rishan said: "There are three paintings on these three walls, so there should be three passwords. Chief, is this a thousand-mile lock?"

My brother didn't answer him, but it was obvious that he was right. I asked him: "How do you use Qianli Lock?"

Zhang Rishan said: "To put it simply, we need a password to unlock the mechanism of the wall relief here, and then we will get a new password, and this new password is hidden in the paintings on the wall, and the paintings on the wall The password in is the password corresponding to the door on the Banai side. The three paintings here have three passwords, which means there are three doors on the Banai side, but the password reminds us that we only have the first door now."

I said: "You mean to get the password on the first set of paintings on the wall to open the first door over there. Only by finding the second door over there can you unlock the mechanism of the second picture here and get the second picture on the wall." If you use the password to open the second door over there, does the third door also need to be decrypted back and forth like this?"

Zhang Rishan nodded, and I murmured: "Not counting the various time-delaying factors in the weather and environment, a normal adult can walk about 3.6 to 7.2 kilometers in one hour at a normal speed. The Zhang family has excellent physical fitness, so let's walk at the maximum speed Calculated at 7.2 kilometers, the distance from Banai to Mount Siguniang is almost 1600 kilometers, and it takes more than 220 hours of walking. Normally, if you walk for 10 hours a day, it will take nearly a month, and it will take two months to send messages back and forth. , the code for the third door was unlocked and sent over, and it was gone in half a year. This was calculated based on the fastest speed.

Brother, it’s really hard to open the door of your house. In ancient times, just getting a door key would take at least a year just to travel. This is too..."

My brother just listened to me as usual, but Zhang Rishan and the others started laughing.

I said: "Why are you laughing? Isn't what I said the truth?" I thought to myself, if we don't care about the historical process and I help my brother with this matter, at least it won't take that long to send the news back and forth, maybe even a week. Done.

Zhang Rishan seemed to think I was funny and said with a bright smile: "Yes, yes."

I asked him: "What is the password for the mechanism on the wall relief in the first step?"

Zhang Rishan curled his lips and said, "I don't know, but there are photos of Banai's gate. Have you already seen them?"

I said, "That's the one?" Then I looked at my brother and asked him, "Brother, what should I do now?"

He looked at the metal disk and said, "Get down."

Gou Wuye said: "The patriarch means to start directly from within the organization."

Qi Tiezui said "Ah": "What, we have to go down, oh no, no, no, it's dangerous, very dangerous."

Zhang Rishan said: "If you don't go down, it won't work. How about Master Ba calculate the password for us? It must be correct. Then we don't go down."

Qi Tiezui said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I am a fortune teller, not a master of mechanisms. Besides, that is your Zhang family's mechanism. Can you calculate it casually?"

My brother ignored them and walked to the edge of the metal plate to push it away. Bai Hao, Liyue and Li Yue went over to help him, and they pushed it away immediately. My brother looked inside with a flashlight, and I quickly followed and stood beside him. .

Qi Tiezui is indeed a Tiezui, he keeps chattering about how messy Feng Shui fortunes are. Anyway, he is just warning everyone that if they go down, they will have a narrow escape.

Zhang Rishan said: "You always say this every time."

Qi Tiezui said anxiously: "This time is different, just listen to my advice."

In fact, Qi Tiezui is very accurate in telling fortunes. We all know that there are many dangerous things in the Zhang family's territory, and all of them are life-threatening things. He always talks half-hidden words, but "narrow escapes" is obviously not a joke. , I also reminded myself and my brothers and sisters to be careful.

My brother picked me up, hugged me, and jumped into the hole under the disk with me, then stepped aside to leave room for the people behind me.

We observed here and saw that on the only road in front of us, there was another passage covered with the jars of the Corpse King.
