Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 450 Siguniang Mountain ([-])

450 4 Chapter [-] Siguniang Mountain ([-])

Early in the morning, a member of the Zhang family from the Nine Gates came towards us from right below the cryptographic module, the entrance where my brother discovered it. The man said to Zhang Rishan: "Adjutant Zhang, brothers are all ready."

After hearing this, Zhang Rishan said: "Let everyone take a break, eat something, pack up the equipment, and set off at any time." The man walked away, looked at the entrance of the cave, and then turned around to inform us.

Zhang Rishan said to his brother: "Chief, brothers, we can set off after eating some food."

Zhang Qiling looked in the direction of the cave entrance and whispered "En" to him. After saying this, Zhang Rishan walked away.

Zhang Qiling lowered his head slightly and caressed the back of the girl who was sleeping in his lap. Li Yue got a wet towel and came over. Zhang Qiling gently held the girl's little head with one hand, and slowly and steadily with one arm. He picked up her body steadily and helped her sit up, leaning against his arms.

The girl frowned tightly and buried her face into his chest. Zhang Qiling touched her head, then pressed his body against the girl, holding the back of her head with one hand and taking the wet towel with the other. , gently pressed it on the girl’s face and wiped it.

After taking the towel away, the little girl swayed a few times, sighed softly, then lazily opened her eyes and looked at him blankly.

Li Yue smiled and reached out to me and said, "Hurry up." Then she pulled me up. I took a deep breath and seemed to be more awake, so I got up to brush my teeth and comb my hair.

Bai Hao handed over the food. Zhang Qiling was always worried and stopped after taking a few bites.

Zhang Rishan was also carefully doing the final inspection of the equipment. He turned his head inadvertently and saw Qi Tiezui, and then said helplessly: "I said Master Eight, we are about to set off, why are you still playing with those copper coins? .”

Qi Tiezui smiled bitterly and said "haha": "I have to calculate it clearly and clearly."

Zhang Rishan tilted his head slightly and sighed and said: "After going back and forth, the result is the same, isn't it?"

Qi Tiezui curled his lips and said with a slightly helpless "Oh," "Yeah, there really isn't much difference in the result."

I interjected: "Since the calculation has been done and the result is no different from the previous calculation, let's close the stall. Anyway, you have to go if you have calculated it accurately, and you have to go even if you are not accurate. It is only for the sake of facing it, then you Why bother here?"

Qi Tiezui said: "I can't bear to see the part where the calculation is too clear. I just thought about what might happen, but the calculation is always the same. Then there is the part where I am really not sure. , I am confused."

Qi Tiezui turned to me and said, "Qilin, you know all this, can you continue to read?"

His question made me think for a moment, and I reacted and said to him: "What can I do if I know about this matter? If I can intervene, there are many things I want to change, although sometimes I can't help it." I want to prevent something from happening, but if I can’t intervene, I can’t intervene, so I have to force myself to continue watching even if I can’t stand it.”

I frowned and said, "Don't worry about it. You're just adding to your troubles. Hurry up and pack your things and follow us. If some little creature really comes to find you, there will be someone to protect you. If you fall in If you stay behind or stay here, if you come out to ask for something to play with you, you will make the sky and the earth inoperable."

Qi Tiezui immediately said, "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!" "Qilin, what you are saying is, am I attracting snakes, insects, rats, ants, or monsters? Although I am also very charming, there is no need for them to favor me." As he said this, He picked up the copper coins and put them into his pocket.

After chatting for a few words, we all stood up. Qi Tiezui was still wagging his mouth, muttering in a low voice without knowing what he was talking about.

My brother patted me gently, which told me that I was about to set off, so I quickly followed him.

Gou Wuye had long been standing by the entrance of the cave, looking into the cave to study. He said: "There should be nothing near the entrance of the cave, so we can rest assured."

There was a thick rope hanging down beside the cave entrance. There were no turned-over stone slabs or anything like that around the cave entrance, so I thought that the water pumping mechanism that my brother had activated earlier should be linked to the door of this cave entrance. Together, the baffle at the entrance of the cave should have been stuck into the surrounding stone walls along with the mechanism.

The hole is not very wide, but it is not a problem for one person to pass through. When the flashlight shines on it, it can be seen that there is only a few meters of depth below, and it seems to be a stone floor.

My brother pulled the rope and slipped into the hole, then slid to the ground with a swipe. After checking the surroundings, he signaled us to go down with a flashlight.

I grabbed the rope, sat on the edge of the hole, turned over awkwardly, and began to slowly slide into the hole, successfully hanging myself on the rope.

The process of going down was quite normal. There was a certain height here, and I was still a little trembling in my heart. I tried my best to restrain my nervous and trembling body. My trembling little hands pulled the thumb-thick rope and moved it down bit by bit. We waited. Bai Hao and Li Yue began to move slowly inside as soon as they got off.

The space below is wider than expected. It is a vaulted passage. There are large blue-gray stone tiles under the feet. There is water that can cover the feet, but I feel that the water does not flow down from above before. Those, because if the amount of water flows down, it feels like the water here will be at least up to the knees. It is estimated that the water is diverted by some hidden mechanism and flows elsewhere.The design in this passage looks very simple. The walls on both sides are bare, and there is no place reserved for lighting oil lamps and torches. It looks like there is no intention of letting people in, and there is no need for fine decoration at all.

The passage is not long. After walking for a short distance, we can vaguely see a cave entrance in front of us. When we got closer and took a closer look, we found that the cave had only a stone frame in a square shape, about half a person high, and there were no decorative carvings on it. There is an uncomfortable feeling just looking at it.

My brother first looked inside. He paused at the door for a long time before retracting from the entrance and saying to us: "Follow me."

I thought he asked us to follow him after checking that there was nothing unusual. As soon as I got through the hole and entered the hole, my eyes widened instantly. The sight in front of me was enough to make me stare straight.

I said blankly: "No, it's this kind of way again."

There are three towering mountain walls inside. There are countless small caves on the three mountain walls, square, round, polygonal, and all kinds of caves. There are not many caves on these three mountain walls. There are hundreds of them. This kind of design has been seen in the Changsha Tomb before, but it was just one wall. There are three walls here.

Qi Tiezui stared at one of the mountain walls with wide eyes and started counting, and after a while he said: "Isn't this the same as the one in the mine? 64 holes, the hexagram of Fuxi Bagua."

I said: "It's a little different. The holes in the mine are all passages. These holes don't seem to be roads. Most of the big holes are big enough for people to pass through and let in light, but people can't get through those small holes at all. Most of them can't. The light transmission is more like a groove for placing things. You didn't see the things placed at the entrance of the cave. This one is probably more complicated than the one in the mine."

Gou Wuye said, "Would you like to take a look at what's on there first? I think there are some bamboo slips or something."

Zhang Qiling spotted a small hole with something in it and rushed over with a few strides. Then he climbed through the indented hole like a rock climber to get to the hole where something was placed. He reached out and touched the small hole at the entrance of the hole. He paused for a moment, then picked up the thing. It looked like a long, dark object. Then he took the thing down the mountain wall and returned to us.

He took out the black thing. Looking at it under the light, the black thing seemed to be leather-like. Important things were wrapped in it. It didn't seem to be a dangerous item because it was an antique and I was afraid it would be damaged. We I just looked at the appearance and put it in a metal box.

They decided that some people would follow their brother to find the way and move on, while some people would stay to get the things from the cave entrance.

I remember that it was Er Erhong who found the right passage last time. He threw iron marbles into the hole to test it. His technique of throwing iron marbles was superb and the strength was amazing. He hit wherever he pointed. It was like a wall test at that time. I have been waiting for a long time. Now this group of people don’t know whether they can use iron marbles or what their skills are. I don’t know how long it will take for them to try holes one by one. If I put out the light and go out to test, it should be very good. Find the way soon.

At this moment, Zhang Rishan and Qi Tiezui were also telling their brother about the similar mountain wall in Changsha Mine, and I started to get entangled again. I knew clearly that when this incident ended, my brother would suffer. This is also the time when most people here will get into trouble. Although they are in this business, participated in this operation, and have long been aware of life and death, but should I help or not? If I help, all I can do is advance their original mission. Something will happen, but it's not a good thing.

Xin Xin said that he had just advised Qi Tiezui not to be entangled, but the person who was most entangled was actually me. He couldn't help even if he wanted to, and I could help but couldn't.

Thinking about it, I quietly grabbed my brother's cuff, and he slowly turned his head to look at me. I heard him call me softly.

I looked at him, then at the holes, and winked at him, meaning "Are you sure I'll come?"

He blinked with great force and sincerity. My brother asked me to help. He trusted my ability. I was still very happy, but I was still struggling in my heart and lowered my head.

Zhang Qiling could see the girl's heart at a glance. He understood that the girl's hesitation was not because she didn't want to help him, but because of her group. To the girl, it was like she had pushed her brother into danger with her own hands. This was not what she wanted. Saving him from this was completely counterintuitive.

Zhang Qiling gently stroked her little head and said to her, "Don't think too much."

The girl looked at him, froze for a moment and then clapped her hands. In an instant, everything around except the four of us stopped. The girl looked at him again with hesitant eyes. He gave the girl an encouraging look. The girl seemed to be I made up my mind to take action.

She instantly gathered a watermelon-sized spiritual light ball in front of her chest with both hands. Suddenly she threw the light ball in front of her into the air. She moved her hands to both sides, and the pale golden stars began to scatter. One light point flew into another. Hole.

Soon the girl unfolded the spiritual map of the cave she had just detected in front of her. The passages through which the spiritual light passed through would emit light. Some of them did not penetrate into the mountain wall at all, but just stayed at the small entrance of the mountain wall. Everywhere, those are storage spaces for storing things. Some light spots got stuck in them halfway, and others went in from one hole and flew out from another hole back to her. Only one of them rushed straight to the other. In the unknown area, there is such a passage on each of the three walls.

She said: "Brother, these three passages can continue forward, but I don't know which passage you are going to. Do you think there will be a prompt at the entrance of the cave? If the Zhang family has been here before, there will be Don’t know how to mark?”

Bai Hao said, "You'll know just by looking at it. The three of us will search at the entrance of the cave one by one. You wait here."

After talking about brother, Bai Hao and Li Yue went to the three intersections I marked in one direction to check.
