The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 17 The Lost Underground Dynasty (1)
These four mythical beasts respectively represent the seven constellations in the southeast, northwest and four directions, adding up to 28. If the ancient underground city of Loulan is built in the middle of these four directions, it will correspond to the "cave dwelling" in the book. It is to achieve the best harmony in the southeast, northwest and four directions, and the "central" is a blessed place for health preservation and mausoleum.

Thinking of the strange things I encountered last night, I suddenly made a bold guess, went down and handed Maimaiti a cigarette, and asked, "How many years has the village I passed by last night been deserted?" Huo Xiaoning was afraid that Maimaiti would I didn't understand, so I translated it for him.

"I'm not sure about this. I only heard from my grandfather that those villages existed when his grandfather was a child. The last group of people moved out probably happened when I was a child."

"Oh?" I pondered for a while, and said to Professor Wu: "I don't know how many expeditions have come here. They have already snatched away valuable things. Can it be our turn to find them?"

"Then what do you mean?" Professor Wu and everyone looked at me puzzled.

"I mean the place where we put the probe is wrong, we should go back to that village to have a look, there are strange things there."

"I see! You mean to say that there are weapons in that village?" The fat man whispered in my ear, he knew all about weapons in his head.

I ignored him. Professor Wu thought about it, and although he was still a little unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.

We walked all the way back to the village again. We searched the village carefully this time, but there were still low, dilapidated houses in front of us, and we still found nothing.

Professor Wu was probably in a hurry, and he was still instructing everyone to dig holes one after another with Luoyang shovels and needle shovels, but I felt that doing so was a bit too academic.Although archaeology is a matter that requires profound knowledge, it doesn't have to be digging at first sight. What's the difference between that and "inverted bucket"?
The fat man and I ran to smoke in the shadow of the house, and as soon as we lit it, Xiang Ru walked over.

"I think I understand why you came back." Xiang Ru said.

"Oh? Then tell me why?"

"Do you think that the construction of this village is a bit weird?"

I couldn't help admiring Xiang Ru, nodded and said, "Not only is it weird, but I also think... look! It's that guy again!" The guy stared at us with half of his head exposed by the wall of the opposite room, grinning to the base of his ears, as if smiling sinisterly at us, showing his mouth full of fangs.

When the fat man saw it, he threw the cigarette and chased after him, followed by Xiangru and I.That thing ran fast, laughing while running, the laughter was sharp and miserable, it bypassed several dilapidated houses, and entered a patch of reeds behind the deserted village.

We also chased it in, but couldn't find it after searching around.The reeds are tall and dense, and we are only halfway up to them.The fat man drew out his bayonet and continued to search deeper. I remembered the horrible scene on the agate beach, and fearing that it would happen again, I chased after the fat man, trying to pull him back.

"Hey you bastard, I don't care what kind of monster you are, just crawl out and let your fat man slap you a few times, or don't even think about coming out again, fat man, I'm not leaving today!"

Xiangru and I heard the fat man yelling and just rushed to the front, and saw the fat man lit a cigarette and sat down on the ground, only to hear a loud bang, and a piece of ground the size of a truck suddenly brought him down in all directions. down!
We ran over to save him, but it was too late. We just watched the fat man fall into this big pit, and we didn't even have time to call for help.

Xiangru and I stood on the edge of the pit and looked down, only to see that the sun was swallowed by the darkness when it was more than ten meters below, and then there was a bottomless black hole.

"Brother!" Xiang Ru shouted anxiously while looking down, her voice trembling.

"Look!" I pointed to a row of narrow and winding steps at the entrance of the cave, and said to Xiangru, "Fatty is lucky, he should be fine, you go and call Professor Chen and the others, I'll watch here."

After a while, everyone came and surrounded the cave in amazement.

"Professor Wu, I'm going down to save Fatty, how about you?" I asked.

"People need to be saved, but this step is too..." Professor Wu hesitated for a while, then suddenly said: "Go down! Let's go!"

I asked Huo Xiaoning and Maimaiti to set up a tent at the entrance of the cave and wait for us. Seeing that Maimaiti hesitated, I gave him a few "Great Unity" tickets, and he reluctantly agreed.

I was the first to go down the narrow steps. The width of this step was just enough to accommodate two feet, but I had to stick to the wall and go down a little bit.Xiang Ru was in the second place. Her balance ability was very good, she was worthy of being a gymnast, and she didn't feel flustered at all.Song Bijun, who was walking at the end, was not so agile. He almost stepped on the ground in a panic, and the gravel on the steps fell, but there was no sound of landing.

As I went down, the light became dimmer. When I was about to touch the ground, I looked up at the round sky above. It was already very small. Only then did I understand what the ancients said "a frog at the bottom of a well".

What surprised me was that the fat man was not at the bottom of the cave, and there was not even a small hole on the walls around the bottom of the cave. Could it be that the fat man didn't fall down?That's impossible, I told myself.

Everyone came down one after another, except that Song Bijun was still dawdling on it. Professor Chen and I looked at the bare walls around us and looked at each other.

Xiang Ru was not reconciled, and felt on the ground to see if there were any secret passages, but she looked disappointed.

Suddenly, Song Bijun stepped on the air and fell from the steps several meters high. Before I could stand still, she threw herself into my arms heavily, and I couldn't help but slammed into the wall behind me while holding her.

But there was only a squeak, and the wall we were leaning against suddenly made a 180-degree turn, turning us to its back and falling to the ground.

Just as Song Bijun and I got up, Professor Wu and the others turned in, and everyone saw a dark and narrow square corridor in front of us. We were amazed by such fine engineering.

I walked inside with Xiangru without looking too much, my mind was full of fat people, where could this guy go?

Professor Wu and the others followed behind, and they couldn't see their fingers inside. Everyone put on headlights, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous looking at the dark corridor ahead.

Suddenly, I stepped on a brick, and the brick sank suddenly.

"Not good!" I yelled.

Two beams of white light swished out from the walls on both sides and pierced directly at my temples. Although they hadn't hit me yet, I felt a sharp pain in my temples, so I quickly lowered my head. On the wall, a cloud of sparks splashed.

I picked up the thing that bounced on the ground and looked at it with Professor Wu, and it turned out to be an extremely sharp iron arrow.

"The arrowhead is made of alloy, which means that the alloy smelting and casting technology has been mastered here long ago. There may be many traps ahead, so we'd better be careful." Professor Wu said after looking at it.

I suddenly heard someone singing in front of me, is it a fat man?I looked at Xiang Ru and Professor Wu, it seemed that everyone heard it, and nodded to me.

The singing was intermittent, and I had an ominous premonition rushing to my heart, so I hurried forward and walked cautiously.

The corridor led us to a stone wall with seven turns and eight turns, but there was no way, and the singer seemed to be behind the stone wall!Everyone couldn't help finding a mechanism on the wall, and suddenly Professor Chen shouted behind me: "Here!"

I followed the reputation, and saw that he found a small brick embedded in the middle of a wall brick. The gap between this small brick and the big brick is so thin that you can't see it if you don't look carefully. I can't help but I really admire Professor Chen as an archaeologist.

I pushed the small brick in, and as soon as I exerted strength, it shrank in, and a small iron ring bounced out of it, and I pulled it lightly, only to hear the stone wall behind it shrank up with a bang, like the one above. A demon opened its big black mouth at us.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing towards my face, I couldn't help shivering, and looked back at everyone, they all stared at me, only Xiangru was beside me.

"This group of cowards, no wonder Professor Wu asked us to be helpers!" I cursed inwardly.

When I just took a step, I suddenly felt an unpleasant smell, which made me cough.
