Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 94 False
094 Chapter 94 Fake

Entering the corridor, there are descriptive murals on both sides and above the head. They should have been bright red originally, but now they are all covered with ice and look gray.

Wu Xie had always been interested in narrative things, so he turned on a flashlight and started reading. Ye Cheng used his camera to take pictures of all the murals and keep them for reference.

As I walked, I looked and thought, and by the flashlight I saw that almost all the paintings on the murals were centipede dragons coiled in the clouds and mist, coiled up and flying.

I didn't dare to look at it after a few glances. In fact, one or two small centipedes can still be tolerated, but the centipede dragon on this mural is very big. The whole corridor is covered with such paintings. I know clearly that these are not centipedes, and It's fake, but I still feel like there are many giant centipede monsters crawling around me. I can't help but tremble a little. My brother knows that I was attacked by centipede monsters when I was a child. Now he knows that I must be remembering the horrible experience. , he reached up and stroked my head to comfort me.

Wu Xie looked at it carefully. The mural was divided into several parts. Some of them showed many soldiers wearing furs, bowing to the centipede dragon in the sky.Some paintings show two hundred-legged dragons entwined together, whether they are having sex or fighting.

After reading some, Wu Xie said: "In every mural here, the centipede dragon is the main part. The characters around them all look very small and extremely humble. It seems that the Eastern Xia people worship this centipede dragon very much."

Ye Cheng asked while taking pictures: "Who do you think is buried in this tomb? King Wannu's wife or his subordinates, how could they paint such murals?"

Wu Xie was also full of doubts: "Generally speaking, if the owner of the tomb buried with him is his own heir or relative, the content of the murals should mostly be life scenes. If he is his favorite, it will usually be scenes from the court. But the painting is like this There are many deified dragon shapes, which is normal if seen in the main tomb, but it is not right in the accompanying tomb. Moreover, the image of the owner of the tomb is not seen in this painting."

The fat man suddenly asked: "Could it be that the murals here are also double-layered?"

Wu Xie took a look at the murals here. Some parts had fallen off. He touched them with his hands and shook his head and said to him: "No, there must be a story behind the double-layered murals in the crevices of the volcano. Otherwise, there are two layers of murals in such a place." The murals on the floor are really unjustifiable.”

As they watched, they thought, before they knew it, we had walked about 200 meters. We were already at the end of the corridor, and the exit to the apse was right in front of them.

There is no door at the exit, and in the center is a bronze crane-footed lampstand that is half a man tall. It has a strange shape and is covered with a layer of ice, so it looks dark in color.

Entering the apse, the fat man lit up a cold fire and looked around and said, "The layout of the apse is almost the same as that of the main hall, but it is much smaller."

There are also hundreds of dragon murals all over the surrounding hall walls.There is nothing in the apse, it is clear at a glance without even searching.There were three black Lei Wen Panlong stone beds in the middle. Wu Xie said: "There are three coffin stands. Obviously, there was not only one coffin during the burial. It seems that the wives and children of the burial were also accompanying them. He was buried." He looked again and saw that the wooden platform covered with carved cloud edges had cracked due to the cold.

At this time, the little brother put the flashlight on himself and whispered to me: "Girl, get ready, give me the bag first." He carried me steadily, and I took off the backpack and handed it to him.

He put the bag on the ground first and said to me: "Hold it up." I immediately followed his instructions. When he saw that I had held it up, he untied the fixed straps. However, he stayed in one position for too long, and his body was a little stiff. I couldn't get down, and I thought he would lean down and put me directly on the ground. Just as I was thinking about it, with my arms still around him, the brother suddenly grabbed my arms with both hands and raised them up. He tilted His head and body turned backwards, and he threw me from behind to in front of him as if dancing, and he immediately held me in his arms. It was so sudden that it shocked me. My nervous hands were clenched into fists and shaking in front of my chest. .

The fat man heard the noise, shook us with his flashlight and said in a strange voice, "Hey, you're sober."

Wu Xie smiled and shook him with a flashlight: "Don't make trouble."

The fat man chuckled mischievously.

Are they more focused on the tomb now, otherwise the fat man would have to distract me again.

After being stunned for a while, the little brother asked me softly: "It's better." I nodded, and he slowly put me on the ground. When I stood firm, he took away the straps and put them into my backpack. , carrying the bag on his back.

I tugged at him and looked at him eagerly, meaning "I have something to say." He looked at me, leaned slightly forward in my direction, and put his ear to me. I said to him in a very low voice: " Brother, I feel something is not right here, something might be going on." After saying that, I looked at him. I thought he would ignore me, but he looked at me seriously and winked at me seriously. , which seemed to mean "yes", followed him and whispered to me: "Follow me." I nodded, quickly grabbed the corner of my clothes and followed him closely.

We saw on the ground behind the three stone beds, a huge square stone slab with two surrounding strange human-faced birds protruding from it. In the middle of the stone slab was a Tai Chi Bagua diagram embossed.

Wu Xie looked at it and thought about it and said, "This should be the sealing stone. It seems that the entrance to the underground palace should be under this stone slab, but the apse is really too empty. It's a bit too empty."

The fat man looked around and said: "Old man Wannu is so fucking stingy. He gave up the money to build a house for his subordinates, and he was reluctant to buy furniture. How can people live like this. He must have taken all the good things by himself."

Monk Hua said: "Don't talk nonsense, you can build such a big mausoleum, but you still can't bear a few sacrifices? There must be some fucking reason for this."

Wu Xie frowned a little and said: "Even though the Dongxia Kingdom is a small border country with insufficient national strength, its broken ships still have three-point nails, no gold and silver, and there will always be a few ordinary bronze wares, but this really doesn't make sense."

They searched around again and found no other passages around, so they came to the tomb-sealing stone slab again.

The fat man threw off his arms and went up to lift it hard, but the thing didn't move at all: "Hey? This little thing is pretty damn heavy, come and help me."

The little brother stopped him and asked him to wait and let him check first.The little brother stretched out his long fingers and carefully checked the green brick floor around the tomb sealing stone. After confirming that there was no problem, he pulled me to the side, and Lang Feng put the Shunzi on the coffin platform aside. , Monk Hua, Ye Cheng and others went up to push the stone slab.Their strength was so great that in a short while the entire stone slab was pushed aside.

I saw that they were all surprised, because the stone platform was made of the same blue bricks as the ones on the side. There was no entrance to a secret passage. It was just because the stone slab was pressed there all the year round, and the green bricks under the stone slab were embedded in the ground. Went to some.

Pan Zi felt strange and asked: "What's going on? Is this tombstone fake and just a decoration?"

Monk Hua frowned and said, "Impossible. This is the most basic burial ceremony. I don't know how to do it. The entrance must be right here."

Ye Cheng guessed: "Will it be sealed under this layer of blue bricks?"

Wu Xie frowned and thought about something and said, "These bricks are not sealed with iron slurry. There seems to be something wrong with them."

The fat man said: "Never mind him. There's no one around anyway. It's rare to go back to the imperial mausoleum and you'll know after tearing down the bricks."

Seeing that they all wanted to continue driving, the little brother patted my hand, and I stood aside obediently. He squatted down and held a green brick with his long fingers, and pulled it out with force, pulling the brick out of the ground. When they got up, they saw that Ye Cheng and Monk Hua were stunned, and their mouths could not close in surprise.

I glanced at them and thought, don't look at our little brother saying nothing, our little brother is very powerful.The fat man was also very proud, and the expression on his face was also a very proud expression like "Did you see, our brothers are awesome?"

Once there was a gap, they used mountaineering picks to dig out the bricks. However, the bricks below still had no traces of iron slurry. They were all in a staggered structure, so it was not difficult to dig out.

Wu Xie also felt that something was wrong more and more. Logically speaking, the entrance to the underground palace should be the most stringent part of the fortress. Some of the entrances did not require explosives, and even the stone seals of the underground palace could not be shoveled off.But the blue bricks here can be picked up so easily, it doesn't feel right no matter how you think about it.He looked at the little brother, thinking that usually if there was a problem, the little brother would be able to find it immediately, but the little brother didn't say anything at this moment. Wu Xie always felt that this matter was not convincing for himself.

After that, they continued to dig down. In fact, it was obvious that something was wrong here. They wouldn't have noticed it at all, so why did they keep digging.It seems that it is because our original intention of coming here is different.I saw that the little brother didn't intend to say anything was wrong here. It seemed that he had his own plans, so I just waited.

After a while, they dug out a big pit, and the last layer of blue bricks was dug out. A total of seven layers were dug out, and a black, patterned turtle shell stone was exposed under the bottom of the pit.

Ye Cheng asked: "Hey, is this the seal stone?"

Monk Hua at the bottom knocked and said: "No." He pulled out the bricks around the black stone. Under the bricks, a black double-headed stone turtle the size of the Eight Immortals table appeared. The pattern on the turtle's shell now appears. It seems that what was carved was a woman's face.

They were puzzled as to why there was a stone turtle buried at the entrance of the underground palace.But I knew it as soon as I saw this. Zi Yan left a message saying, "Don't touch this thing, it's dangerous." But Zi Yan didn't explain the specific danger.I pulled the little brother, but he didn't even look at me, his eyes kept staring at them.

Pan Zi, who had done the most work just now, panted and asked, "What's going on? Why is there no tomb door?"

Monk Hua didn't know what to do now, and said in a panic: "Move it out first! See what's under the turtle."

Wu Xie had actually seen something, but he didn't know how to explain it and was worried.Watching several of them hurriedly jump into the pit, trying to lift the stone turtle up.The fat man just squatted down and said "Hmm". When Wu Xie took a look, he saw that the engineer shovel hung on the fat man's waist was actually stuck to the turtle's back. The fat man broke it off with force, and when he let go, the engineer shovel The shovel was sucked in again.

Wu Xie said: "Is it a magnet carving?"

The fat man took out a coin and threw it on the turtle's back. It made a "dang" sound and was sucked firmly. The fat man didn't react at first: "Hey, this is so fucking funny. With such a big magnet, the owner of the tomb Are you a scrap metal collector?"

Chen Pi Asi had been resting up there to see what we had found, so he asked what was going on. Monk Hua reported the situation to him. Before he finished speaking, Chen Pi Asi's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked Ye Cheng to help him. Come down.

Taking advantage of this moment, I held him on tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "Brother, a magnet that can cause large-area magnetic field interference must not be an ordinary magnet. Zi Yan has said that this thing is very dangerous. I think it is." It must have other weirdness. From the moment it locates the location, it has already fallen into Wang Zanghai's trap. If he sets the trap so carefully, it won't be so easy for people to escape. Be careful. I would say this guy is very scheming and has many tricks. "Deep, let's mix up the real and the fake. Brother, Xiaoxun will definitely not hold you back and will definitely be able to help you." Although the younger brother still looked at me with such soft eyes, I could tell that he was already starting to worry. I did my homework very seriously this time, and I also recovered a lot in the spiritual stone, so I will definitely be able to help him.

Just as I finished speaking, I saw Chen Pi coming over and quickly became quiet.

Chen Pi Asi approached the turtle and took out the compass from his pocket. At first glance, his face turned almost green. He smashed the compass and said in a cold voice: "Oops, we were tricked." Yes! This burial tomb is a trap, we have fallen into it!"

It was obvious that Chen Pi was really angry and scary. Monk Hua also noticed this and became nervous and asked: "Old man, what's going on?"

Chen Pi's Si looked very ugly and said to us: "The dragon veins here have been manipulated. This three-headed dragon is fake and the direction of the dragon's head is wrong."
