Tomb Raider: Cultivating Immortality from Guanshan Taibao

Yang Xueli came to the mural.

Using her full-level picture writing ability, she continued

"This Jingjue Queen is a witch!"

After hearing what Yang Xueli said, Professor Chen became interested.

"Xiao Yang, please continue.

So Yang Xueli continued

"This painting is the most difficult to understand of all the murals"

"The queen lifted her veil and looked at the person opposite her, and he turned into a dotted line."

"He might be a slave, wielding an assassin or something, and the queen wanted to get rid of the enemy, so he was seen by the queen's eyes, so he disappeared"

"So you conclude that this queen is a witch?" Hu Bayi asked

"Yes, the queen looked at that person and that person disappeared!"Yang Xueli affirmed.

Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi still found it hard to believe that a living person disappeared after being looked at. This was too unbelievable.

Yang Xueli knew that everyone was also a little unconvinced, so she talked about the allusions in the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions.

There was a legend of the Queen of the Desert in it, which left a deep impression on her.

Sadipeng, Ye Yixin and others were also very interested in this.

"Deep in the desert there is a city, inhabited by a people from underground who rule all the small countries around it."

"After hundreds of years, the throne was passed to the last queen. According to legend, the eyes of this queen were the passage to the underworld. As long as she looked at her enemies, they would disappear."

"As for where the missing people went, no one ever knew!"

"The queen adopted a high-handed rule and ordered all the small countries around her to worship her like a true god. Anyone who resisted would be put to death."

"It was her actions that angered the gods, and within a few years, the queen fell ill and died."

"After her death, the slaves and several countries oppressed by the queen formed an alliance and massacred the queen's royal city."

"Finally, the coalition forces were ready to destroy the queen's tomb. As a result, the sky and the earth changed color, and a terrible sandstorm swallowed up the coalition forces and the queen's royal city, burying them under the wind and sand."

"The queen's tomb and the treasures she had looted were buried under the sand. Hundreds of years later, any traveler who took any of the queen's treasures would cause a sandstorm, and those people would never be able to leave the desert again."

"But there is no record of this queen, the mysterious royal city, and the background of the era."

This story and the records on the murals have many similarities with the Queen of Jingjue.

Yang Xueli continued

"The following murals record that Prince Gumo's assassination attempt was unsuccessful."

"After returning to his country, he continued to plan how to get rid of the queen. At this time, he met a fortune teller from a distant place."

"He asked the prince to put a special slow-acting poison into the golden lamb presented to the queen. Not long after, the queen died suddenly!"

"But the prince died from overwork, and he and his wife were buried together. The fortune teller designed a mausoleum for him, right under the altar."

So far, Yang Xueli has finished interpreting all the strokes.

"Good, your analysis is really great. Professor Chen couldn't help but praise it.

This is much better than his own interpretation, and more comprehensive and reasonable.

"My father, like Professor Chen, has spent his entire life studying Western culture, especially Jingjue culture, and I have also learned a lot since I was a child."

Professor Chen was stunned when he heard this and thought of Yang Xueli's father.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"Professor Hao asked

"Oh, nothing. Professor Chen waved his hand.

"I just remembered a lot of things about her father. Sorry for the joke. Sorry for the joke.

Professor Chen wiped his wet eyes.

Seeing Professor Chen like this, Yang Xueli also comforted him.

"Uncle Chen, if we can successfully find the ancient city of Jingjue, my father's spirit in heaven will rest in peace."

Professor Chen sighed slightly.

Seeing this, Hao Aiguo also comforted him:"Teacher, take care of yourself and don't get excited. We have gained a lot this time and have made a breakthrough in our understanding of the Jingjue ruins. I believe that we will be able to find the ancient city of Jingjue."

The archaeological team spoke with passion and enthusiasm. Several people seemed to be injected with chicken blood and their fighting spirit was high.

"But, according to what we just said, if the Queen of Jingjue is a female demon, is it necessary for us to find her tomb?"Hu Bayi interrupted everyone's passionate self-praise.

"Yes, if that's the case, then we're going to find her grave, aren't we just going to die?" Fatty Wang also agreed.

"It's not that scary. After all, it's just a legend, so it's normal to have some exaggeration."Feng Yuanqing said

"Moreover, as archaeologists, we should use scientific means to find answers to those unsolved mysteries!"

…It's scientific, but you are quite unscientific.

Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi complained in their hearts.

When Professor Chen heard Feng Yuanqing's words, he immediately agreed.

"That's great. That's what we archaeologists should do!"

Then Professor Chen continued to study the murals.

Suddenly he saw the full picture of the ancient city of Jingjue and the Zagorama Valley that protected the ancient city.

He called Yang Xueli and compared the notes and photos.

"Zagorama Valley, this is the ancient city of Jingjue, it's not far from us!"

Professor Chen said excitedly to everyone.

Every detail of the mural has been photographed and recorded.

"Next, should we open the coffin?" Fatty Wang asked

"No, this kind of tomb where a husband and wife are buried together in the same coffin is very rare and is a national treasure! We don’t have the conditions to open the coffin now. Once opened, the sealed coffin and the burial objects inside will be destroyed!"

"Professor Hao, you take your students to take notes. After returning, I will write a report and submit it to the higher authorities to apply for excavation or take corresponding protective measures. These are all precious cultural heritages!"

Feng Yuanqing didn't care. The prince of a small country in the Western Regions was not very wealthy, so it was dispensable. Besides, the Queen of Jingjue was the big boss, with all kinds of gold and silver treasures piled up.���That's his goal.

"That's right, the conditions are not suitable for opening the coffin now. If the coffin and the burial objects inside are damaged, it will be more trouble than gain."

He winked at Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi. Seeing this, the two did not insist on opening the coffin.

So he said that he could not help here and returned to the ground to rest. The next step is to clean and take photos of the surface of the coffin where Prince Gumo and his wife were buried together. The data should be well preserved so that they can apply for protection and excavation after returning.

After doing all this, everyone closed the iron cover again, closed the tomb door, and pasted the animal skin again to prevent moisture from invading, and then returned to the camp on the ground.
