The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 19 Chiwu Tribe (1)
Seeing that the bloody mouth with long fangs was about to bite my throat, I had no choice but to press his chin firmly with my hand. In my panic, I saw Xiang Ru suddenly ran over, picked up He threw the dagger that fell on the ground and stabbed the monster in the right side. Black blood exuding a strong bloody smell spewed out like a column, and the monster sent Xiang Ru flying with his palm.

It was completely irritated, let go of me, jumped up to Xiangru, grabbed Xiangru's neck, and inserted the other paw towards Ru's stomach.

I gasped without hesitation, stepped forward and hugged its paw, and kicked the paw pinching Xiang Ru's neck fiercely with my foot, but it was of no avail. gas.

Suddenly I heard a shout behind me, and the fat man ran over at some point, took his German bayonet, and aimed a knife at the monster's throat. Immediately, thick black blood sprayed all over my body and face, this guy is weird With a cry, he let go of the claws that were pinching Xiangru.

"Damn it! Damn it, I'm going to kill my sister today!" The fat man's eyes turned red, and he yelled, rushing towards the monster with another knife.

I was also angry from the heart, picked up the engineer shovel behind me, rushed towards the guy's hideous face, and saw that it fell down with a strange smile, and I suddenly understood that it was the one who followed us from the barren village. The current ghost, and then the fat man slashed at it, until it stopped moving, and we both collapsed on the ground.

I looked at Xiang Ru, she had already got up, she didn't seem to have hurt her muscles and bones, so the fat man and I were relieved.

"Damn, what the hell is this guy?" The fat man gasped and said.

I looked at the hard scales on its back, the long and dense black hair on its chest, its big lizard-like head, its long erect fangs, its blood-red eyes, and its five-pronged tail behind it. That's when I remembered its name - hideous.

Legend has it that this guy lived in a place with a river marsh. He was good at talking and laughing, fishing, and sometimes eating people. Because of his creepy smile and terrifying face, the ancients named him "" hideous".

"You bastard, why did you come here?" I remembered that we wouldn't have such a disaster today if it wasn't for the fat man, so I couldn't help asking a little angrily.

"What did you say? I thought I was dead when I fell from the hole to the bottom. Later, I felt a little hungry, only to find that I didn't die when I fell on the thick sand. I leaned back and entered a corridor. My heart If you want to come here, let’s be safe! It’s not too late to go up to find you after I pack up some good things, but I just came here and found that I was being watched by that girl, so I quickly climbed on the stone statue, even fucking angry I don’t even dare to take a breath.” After saying that, he kicked on the body of "Him" who had already lost his breath.

At this time, Song Bijun and Zhou Dawei had already supported Professor Wu and were bandaging the wound on his shoulder.I looked at the wound, and the monster's fangs seemed to have penetrated deeply, leaving a few blood holes. I couldn't help feeling a little worried for Professor Chen.

"Professor Wu, are you okay?" I asked.

"It's okay, although it's an old bone, it can still stand..." Professor Wu said out of breath.

Fatty and Xiang Ru had already arrived in front of the coffin, and touched it lightly with my hand, so I focused on it.

The inner and outer coffins are long and wide, with ancient wave patterns and fish patterns created on the solemn gray-brown fine-grained wenge with gold-plated technology around them. The coffin lid is inlaid with several huge turquoise stones, and the periphery is filigree with gold threads.How much manpower and material resources will be spent on each process and each design?It is truly breathtaking.What surprised me the most was that the coffin exuded a delicate fragrance, which was deep and solemn, without any ecstasy.

"This is Burmese chicken wing wood. It's the first time I've seen a coffin made of such a big piece of chicken wing wood. It's so beautiful..." Professor Wu murmured, touching the coffin with trembling hands, and couldn't help the old man with excitement. Tears welled up.

How did the Burmese chicken wing wood come here?You must know that there are more than one hundred and eight thousand miles in between!I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and asked again: "The person lying here should be King Loulan, right?"

"Come and see here." Before Professor Wu could speak, Xiang Ru called out first.

I helped Professor Wu to the wall where Xiangru was standing. The tall wall vividly depicted the scene of that year with various paints.

"Look, this should be the scene of the prosperous period of the Loulan Dynasty. The group of pictures depicts a group of fishing in Lop Nur, and there is a group of singing, dancing and fishing feasts over there..." Xiang Ru said while watching with.

These vivid pictures seem to have some kind of magical power, allowing us to travel back to the glorious Loulan Dynasty thousands of years ago: dozens of large and small fishing boats with upturned corners are painted on the picture of fishing and hunting , there are some people standing on it, some are casting nets, some are collecting nets, and a tall and majestic man stands on the bank full of reeds, surrounded by some officials.

Another picture shows some feasting scenes, many women dressed in tulle, with tall twin peaks, big eyes and high nose dancing around a fairy-like beauty. The cup is still the majestic man.These must be the real Loulan beauties back then. Their eyes seemed to move, and they almost took my soul away. Fortunately, Xiang Ru came over and patted my shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Oh, nothing!" I just came back to my senses.

The pictures over there are some pictures describing several wars, and I can see two of them. A group of people wearing Han Dynasty costumes were pulled down and beheaded by the majestic man commanding the guards on the main hall.Afterwards, a majestic army led by a general surrounded Loulan, but that majestic man was plotting something with several envoys who were taller than him.Then there was a fierce battle, with heads and arms falling off one after another, and the bloody scene made people shudder.I think this is the siege of Loulan in the history of the Han Dynasty, right?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked General Li Guangli of the Second Division to send troops to crusade against Dawan Kingdom in order to obtain the bloody BMW. He passed by Loulan to ask for food and grass here. The repeated collection made Loulan overwhelmed.I understand all of these, but the next few pictures make me puzzled.

One of the paintings shows that King Loulan sent his two sons to the Huns and the Han people respectively, but behind him, there was a boy who looked like a prince and went to a distant place alone.

The other picture shows the new Loulan King ascending the throne. Many peasants in front of him are digging the ground three feet to build something, but a huge sun descends from the sky. There is a three-legged eagle in the sun, leading densely packed fierce soldiers to kill the whole Loulan. Lives were devastated, mountains and rivers were shattered, and blood flowed into rivers.What does this mean?

I looked at Professor Wu, and found that he also stood there frowning blankly and looked up, and then looked at Xiang Ru, but she was thinking about something wistfully.

"What do you think these two pictures mean?" I asked.

"I don't know the first one, but I think the latter one is related to this place. Those peasants should be building this underground dynasty and mausoleum, but..." Xiang Ru also frowned: "Could it be that this is not the same as ancient China? Is it related to the sun in the myths and legends? Can’t it be Yi shooting the nine suns? Or a kind of totem worship of the Loulan people?” Several questions raised by Xiang Ru made me even more puzzled.

It is not impossible for the Loulan people to know the myth and legend of Yi shooting the nine suns, because they had contact with the Central Plains people long before the Han Dynasty, and the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty made the exchanges between the two countries more frequent.It can be seen that this picture shows the meaning of the end of the world, not a heroic scene of people like Yi saving the suffering.

As for totem worship, it is even more unreliable. The huge mausoleum we are in has a huge stone pillar at the four corners. Looking carefully, it is not a stone pillar at all, but a huge male genitalia and female genitalia. The textures are very obvious, and this genital is their real totem, which shows that King Loulan hopes that he will protect the people who have gone underground to continue to multiply.

And I knew before I came to Loulan that the people of Loulan often used fish as their totem, because there were not many grain fields in Loulan at that time, and the main food was all kinds of fish in the vast ocean of Lop Nur. This can also be confirmed from the giant fish-faced human statues standing around the mausoleum.

My eyes wandered to these huge genital stone pillars again, and suddenly I saw that there was a man-made hole under each of the stone pillars.I walked over and found that the level of craftsmanship in carving this hole was incomparable with the superb craftsmanship of the Loulan craftsmen, and it could even be said that there was no skill at all.
