The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 33
Mount Everest is just one of the peaks above 5000 meters above sea level in the middle foot of the majestic Kunlun Mountains. There are countless such peaks dotted in the vast Kunlun Mountains.

Nearby Kazakh herdsmen call Mount Everest the Yuding Peak, because it is covered with perennial snow from above 4000 meters, and it looks like a white and flawless hat on its head under the sun.But there are few people here, and the general herdsmen will not come here to graze, because they say that this is a sacred mountain and they must not be disturbed.

We were still riding mules at the foot of the mountain, but Jianger had already dismounted. In his words, this was a kind of respect for the sacred mountain.We had no choice but to do as the Romans do, so we had no choice but to get off our mules and choose a sheltered place nearby to set up camp.

It was getting late, and the surrounding mountain peaks let the afterglow of the setting sun smear their snow-white hats with a layer of golden light, like giant beasts standing proudly around the world, watching us quietly.

Fatty and Zhao Dadou wanted to light a fire and cook, but Jianger refused to let him die, saying that he was afraid of attracting some beasts, so he could just eat some dry food.After hearing this, the fat man stared at him, and said that I am not afraid of the sky and the earth, the fat man, so let them come anyway. Didn't Chairman Mao say that all poisonous snakes and beasts are paper tigers.I said what the old man said was "imperialism and all reactionaries are paper tigers", right?Fatty said hi, all the same!Can this be the same?

Even though Xiang Ru was also persuading him, the fat man said he had started a stove with Zhao Dadou, and Jianger couldn't resist us, so he turned around and ate the dry food he had brought without even looking at us.

Where the altitude is too high, the air is thin, and the water is always boiled. We just ate a few bites, and then sat outside the tent and chatted.

It was very cold in the middle of the night, and I saw Xiang Ru curled up in a corner of the tent under a quilt, so I covered her with my own quilt.Jianger was very energetic and lit a bonfire outside the tent. The fat man, Zhao Dadou and I smoked around the bonfire with him.

We were chatting, and suddenly the two shepherd dogs lying on the ground in Jianger barked with their ears upright, and then a very small voice entered my ears: "Hush! Listen, this What's the sound?"

"It sounds like a flute?" Zhao Dadou said after hearing it.

Yes, it sounded like someone was playing a flute, and there were mountains all around, and we were in the middle of a dark valley, and gusts of cold wind made this tiny sound elusive.

Everyone stood up and listened carefully, frowning. The two dogs brought by Jianger suddenly barked towards the tent. Jianger’s face changed and he shouted: “No, no! It’s the God of Snow Mountain! Hurry up! Put out the fire!" Shouting, he kicked and stomped on the bonfire in the snow to make a mess.

God of Snow Mountain?All three of us laughed, where in this world are there any gods and immortals?Just when the fat man was about to educate Jianger on proletarian materialism, he suddenly heard a terrifying scream from the tent!

It's Xiangru!We quickly got into the tent, only to see Xiang Ru standing there in panic with a broken half wine bottle in his hand.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I was sleeping just now, and suddenly a hand came in from under the tent and touched my face. I thought you were playing with me, but when I touched it with my hand, I felt something was wrong. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be a black squirrel. Huge, fluffy paws!" Xiang Ru calmed down and said, "I picked up the wine bottle next to me and threw it at it, and that guy disappeared in no time!"

I looked at the wine bottle in Xiangru's hand. There was still some blood on the broken edge. Before Xiangru could finish talking, the fat man opened the tent and chased him out. Tell you to play hooligans!" Immediately after that, there was a bang, and there was a dull scream from outside.

We picked up the guys and rushed out of the tent, looked in the direction the fat man was running, and saw an unusually tall black figure running forward desperately, dozens of steps ahead of him, that guy was running extremely fast , it took more than three steps to beat the fat man in one step, and disappeared into the valley to the west in a short while.

We let Jianger stay and chased after the fat man together.We shined our headlights on the snow in front of us, and saw some blood dripping on the ground every two meters or so.This guy's huge footprint was a foot and a half long, and it could be seen that the two thumbs on its feet were turned outwards. At first glance, it was somewhat similar to human footprints, but it was very different.

In front was a sunken valley, surrounded by spruces and towering boulders, where the footprint turned many turns in the snow, as if on purpose so that we could not tell where it was going.

Everyone had to split up to look for it. When Xiangru and I walked towards the valley along some footprints and bloodstains, we suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the fat man. Xiangru and I rushed over to have a look, and saw Zhao Dadou said happily: "Hey! Damn, I remembered, it's there! That bucket is there!" Zhao Dadou said while pointing to a huge boulder on the mountain in front of him, and led us to run there.

From the bottom of the mountain, this is an ordinary boulder, but when we got to the back of it, we found out that there is another mystery inside. It is just a "porch" at the entrance of the tomb.

Behind the boulder is the mountain, and there is only a gap in the middle that just allows a person to enter sideways. I have to admire the wisdom of the owner of the tomb. Zhao Dadou said that the opening was shaken open by an earthquake according to the herdsman who brought him. Otherwise, no one will find this tomb that is integrated with the mountain and the stone.

We got in along the gap, and in front of it was a long tomb passage. The surrounding walls were plastered with lime, but the rough craftsmanship was beyond our imagination.

The tomb passage is very narrow, with a vaulted roof, and only two people can walk through it side by side.Zhao Dadou walked in front of us. The tomb passage was very long and straight, and there were no murals recording history on the surrounding walls at all.

I have a feeling that looking at the trend of this tomb passage, it seems that we have been walking up along it. As for where it leads, we don't know.

After walking for a long time, when we were tired and gasping for breath, a huge tomb suddenly appeared in front of us, but this tomb was also empty, not even a shadow of a coffin.

Xiangru and I walked around the square tomb, and saw some paintings on the surrounding walls. Those paintings used extremely rough brushstrokes and simple lines to depict some incomprehensible scenes.

A group of tall people carried a woman towards a deep pit. Some people in the deep pit were lying there, as if they were dead. People around were cheering and jumping, as if it was some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

After the woman entered the deep pit, the surroundings of the pit turned red, a door opened in front of everyone, and a tall guy who was half a man, half a bird came out from the inside, and a tall man led by a leader who was waiting outside immediately led the crowd together. Shushua knelt down and made a pilgrimage to this half-human, half-bird monster.

Since the rest of the murals are already a little unclear, Xiang Ru and I can only see this place. After reading it, Xiang Ru looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to say something to me, but he was about to say something. And stop the look.

Xiang Ru's eyes suddenly stopped on a pile of gray-white residue under the wall, and he bumped me with his arm.She and I squatted down, put on gloves and picked up one of the relatively long things. After a closer look, we found that it was a piece of human bone, which seemed to be a finger.

I also found that the lower half of the mural was damaged in a mess, as if it had been dug and scratched by something.Xiang Ru and I couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked around the tomb again, only to notice that there were more than one pile of similar white residues, some of which were only a little bit left, and were almost corroded.

The two of us looked at each other, and then we heard Fatty shouting to Zhao Dadou: "Hey! We finally found out, I said it's impossible to have nothing! There must be an ear chamber or something, but we didn't find it It's just a secret passage mechanism!"

We walked over and saw Zhao Dadou and Fatty talking and laughing happily around a small iron ring under the wall next to the entrance of the tomb.

"The herdsman didn't find this thing last time when he brought me here. Believe it or not, Fat Lord, if I pull it like this, two ear chambers will come out. If it's not an ear chamber, it must be something valuable!" Zhao Dadou said He looked at us a little smugly, as if he was going to have some kind of opening ceremony, he was vying with the fat man to pull it first.

I suddenly felt something was wrong, looked at Xiang Ru, she was also thinking about something with her eyebrows furrowed.It stands to reason that generally the tombs with secret passage organs would not expose the organs to the outside like this. It would be strange if the organs protruded outwards.

"Don't move!" I suddenly had a bad premonition, squatted down and wanted to push the two hands away, but I didn't expect it to be too late. I heard a bang, and a stone door suddenly fell down above the entrance of the tomb, blocking the only way out. Strictly.

We rushed up to push and pry the stone gate, but it was of no avail. The stone gate is thick and heavy, and it probably weighs a thousand catties at least.

Just as we were trying to lift the stone gate from the bottom to the top with great effort, we suddenly heard a rumbling sound above our heads. When we looked up, we found that the ceiling of the entire tomb was actually a huge stone slab. The land is slowly pressing down on us!

We were dumbfounded now, we would have been crushed into human skin by it after a while.Only then did I know where the white human bone residues on the ground came from. It turned out to be the crushed bones of former tomb robbers.

"Tell you not to drive and you won't listen!" I thought that this was the result of reckless handling of things, and suddenly became a little angry, and shouted at Zhao Dadou and Fatty.

"I..." Zhao Dadou was about to make an excuse when he was interrupted by Xiang Ru.

"What time is it! It's still noisy! Find an exit!" Xiang Ru shouted.

But the only exit on the empty four walls is blocked by that stone door, so where is there any exit?No way, everyone lifted the stone door up again, but it didn't move at all after lifting it for a long time.

Seeing that the boulder above was slowly pressing down to the top of my head, I suddenly felt a little out of breath, as uncomfortable as a cat scratching my heart.The owner of this tomb is really poisonous. It would be fine if he was shot to death by some mechanism. He was crushed to death bit by bit by such a huge boulder weighing several thousand kilograms. Before he died, he listened to his bones bit by bit. The cracking sound, who can imagine the pain?
