Tomb Raider: From the Dragon Ridge Cave

Guitou?

The fat man couldn't help but complain:"Brother, you are usually honest, but when it comes to pornography, you are more awesome than anyone else!"

Zhang Qiling ignored the fat man and said seriously:"I am not doing pornography, you can see for yourself!"

Everyone looked at the old banyan tree.

The roots of the old banyan tree slowly separated from the soil. The crowns of these two old trees are very rare in this forest.

The roots extending underground are more than three times larger than the crowns, which is even rarer in the world.

The thick and old roots and stems all separated from the soil. What a big movement.

The ground seemed to have opened a big black mouth, wanting to swallow everyone!

""Run!"

The fat man yelled and ran away, and everyone hurried to follow him...

At this time, the sky and the earth shook, and the dark clouds became heavier and lower. From top to bottom, the black clouds rolled straight to the top of the jungle.

The rumbling thunder had no boundaries, silver light flashed, thunder rippling, and it was a sound.

As the old tree fell, the people who ran away vaguely saw a huge head rising from the soil with the help of lightning.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it.

""Fuck, what a big head!!!"

The fat man was stunned and screamed.

Everyone was also terrified.

The head was so big that they had never seen it before!

A rough estimate showed that the head alone was as big as a large truck. The body had not yet been revealed, so who knows how big it was.

""Fuck, we are not enough for it to fill its teeth!"

Fatty and Hu Ba ran wildly, rolling and crawling, as if they were escaping before the end of the world.

Qin Yan took Shirley Yang and Peacock away for a distance and then stopped running.

Not only because he knew the plot, but also because he had amazing eyesight and could see clearly.

This was not a living turtle at all, but a huge turtle carved out of stone, and it was a turtle carrying a stone tablet.

To be precise, this turtle carrying a stone tablet was not an ordinary turtle, but a dragon turtle. The dragon turtle, also known as Bixi, is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese legends. It is the sixth of the nine sons of the dragon. It looks like a turtle and likes to carry heavy loads. The turtle under the tablet is one of them.

In ancient Chinese legends, dragon turtles often carried the three mountains and five peaks on their backs to stir up wind. It made waves. It was later subdued by Xia Yu and made many contributions to Xia Yu. After the success of flood control, Xia Yu let it carry its achievements on its back, so most of the stone tablets in China were carried by it.

He just wanted to call Fatty and Hu Bayi back, but found that the two guys had already run away for a long distance, gasping for breath, but the constant rumbling noises from behind forced them to try their best to stay away.

Qin Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. The dragon turtle was covered with mud, and the moment it was unearthed created a huge momentum. If he hadn't known the plot, he would probably have run away like Hu Bayi and the others.

He had no choice but to shout,"Don't run, it's just a stone statue!"

What?

A statue!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty stopped in doubt and looked back at the huge dragon turtles that kept popping up.

The whole old banyan tree was full of holes of different sizes. Usually, it was supported by the red flesh lines growing out of the jade coffin. Now it had lost its support and was top-heavy. It was pushed down from the side by the huge monster underground.

As the old tree collapsed, a huge stone dragon turtle rose from the soil, carrying a short stele.

The size of this Bixi was beyond everyone's imagination, and it popped up like a huge submarine.

The roots of the old banyan tree were wrapped around the Bixi, and it seemed that it was artificially pressed under the tree.

The Bixi raised its head high, its tail was bent and stretched, and its four feet were on the ground, making a crawling gesture. posture, on the raised tortoise shell is a cloud seat, and the short stele stands on this cloud seat.

A black gas emerged from under the body of Bixi, rushed straight into the blue sky, and dissipated after half a day. The dark clouds in the sky also dissipated, and the air around was filled with the smell of ozone after a thunderstorm.

After Qin Yan's reminder, although Hu Bayi and Fatty knew that this was not a living dragon turtle, they still felt frightened.

It took a long time until the ground completely returned to calm.

After confirming that there would be no more danger, everyone approached Bixi.

Hu Bayi couldn't help but complained faintly:"Master Qin, you are not kind. If you had known it was a statue, you didn't tell us earlier, and I almost lost my life running away."

Qin Yan smiled and said,"I wanted to tell you the first time, but when I turned around, you all ran away."

Hu Bayi scratched his head a little embarrassedly:"Isn't it this huge Bixi that is scary? Even though I have traveled almost all over China, I have never seen such a big one. However, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine it. This damn Bixi was carved from a mountain, right?!"

The fat man was so surprised that his mouth has not closed until now:"Such a big Bixi, when we went to Tai'an to visit the Dai Temple, that one was not even one-tenth of this one. This ancient artifact from thousands of years ago, although it takes some effort to pull it back, it should be an incredible treasure, right?"

Hu Bayi ignored the fat man, and looked at the huge stone Bixi carefully with Qin Yan, Shirley Yang and others.

He wanted to see how it suddenly appeared from under the tree.

After looking at it repeatedly, Hu Bayi frowned:"This is not a Bixi at all... but a pepper that looks very similar to a Bixi."

Peacock didn't understand and asked naively:"Pepper? Is it a kind of pepper?"

Hu Bayi was too lazy to explain to Kong Que, and asked:

"I know something about Jiaotu, but isn't this the Bixi that carries the stele? As far as I know, the dragon has nine sons, each of which is different. Bixi and Jiaotu are each one of them. There are also Suanni, Chaofeng, Bi'an, Chi, and others.��、Jiaotu is used to guard the gate, but I think this stone beast should be a Bixi that looks like an old turtle."

Shirley Yang nodded and said,"Yes, the appearance of this stone beast is indeed like the strange beast Bixi that carries the stele, but you can see that it is made of round sculpture as a whole, with clear tortoise shell patterns, but only the four claws are sharp, like sharp weapons, and the mouth is full of sharp teeth, which are consistent with the characteristics of Jiaotu, but perhaps due to the different regional culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom, this Jiaotu is somewhat different from the ones in the Central Plains.

"

After Shirley Yang finished speaking, she took out another picture:"This is a photo given by Professor Sun. The picture shows the six beasts used by King Xian to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, one of which is very similar to this stone Jiaotu."

Everyone carefully compared it and found that this pepper tortoise also had an eye-shaped ball on its head, but it was previously blocked by tree roots and could not be discovered.

Shirley Yang continued,"According to the ancient books I studied, the pepper tortoise is a closed-minded person, which is meant to ward off evil spirits from the house.

The function of this pepper tortoise is mainly to suppress the evil spirits near the king's tomb.

After the king's tomb was completed, it was buried outside the periphery, just like the foundation laying ceremony in modern architectural ceremonies.

The most important reason why I inferred that it was a pepper tortoise is the short stele on its back, which is not an ordinary stele at all.

It may be the tomb record of King Xian's tomb.

"

Tomb Genealogy?!"

Everyone was excited when they heard it. Hu Bayi climbed up the huge turtle's back impatiently and gently peeled off the dirt on the tomb genealogy with a paratrooper knife.

The others followed quickly.

After Hu Bayi scraped away the dirt, the words and patterns carved on the tomb genealogy gradually appeared, just as Shirley Yang expected.

Shirley Yang had studied the tomb of King Xian very thoroughly this time. After all, this time, only success was allowed, not failure.

The information on the tomb genealogy was unexpectedly much, and it described in detail the construction process of King Xian's tomb, even including the part of the accompanying tomb.

However, the text was ancient, but fortunately, except for Fatty and Peacock, several people had some research on ancient characters. Everyone read it together word by word.

The first thing the tomb genealogy said was that the ancient Dian Kingdom was Qin Shi Huangdi. The three counties under the Emperor.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han dynasties rose up, and the world was in turmoil. The leaders of these three counties adopted a policy of seclusion, closed off traffic with the north, and established their own country.

Later, the Han Dynasty established the foundation of the world, but from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was threatened by the Huns in the north, and was too busy to take care of itself, and had no time to pay attention to the King of Dian.

At the end of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the pressure from the Han Empire in the north was increasing. The state affairs were getting worse and worse, and the emperor's favor had gone. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the King of Dian for the ancient divine object, the Zhuchen Pearl, which caused fierce disagreements in the country.

King Xian took the real Zhuchen Pearl and broke away from the Dian Kingdom, traveling far to the mountains in western Yunnan.

The King of Dian could only present a"shadow pearl" to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing this, Shirley Yang couldn't help but feel excited:

"The question I was most worried about was finally clarified, because the Maoling Mausoleum where Emperor Wu of Han was buried was dug up by the peasant army, and the Zhuchen Pearl buried with him in the tomb was lost to the world.���The time of the tomb of King Shi Tongxian is difficult to match. It turns out that there is only a fake shadow bead in Maoling."
