Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 88
"Old Hu, I remember that in Journey to the West, there is a purple gold gourd that can collect everything in the world. Could it be that the red gourd of the mountain god is also such a magical weapon?"

Wang Kaixuan was very interested in the red gourd. If he didn't know that it was worthless, he would have wanted Feng Sijiu to take the gourd away. After hearing this, Hu Bayi didn't want to answer, but focused his eyes on the surroundings of the temple. .

On the contrary, Feng Sijiu rolled his eyes, then looked at the other party thoughtfully and said:
"Fatty, I think what you said makes sense. There are countless treasures in this world, so why did the mountain god of the Insect Valley choose a gourd? Maybe there is a huge gourd hidden underground in the Insect Valley."

"Huh? Lao Feng, what do you mean by that? Why do you say that the gourd is in the ground, so why can't it be in the sky?"

"I'm just talking nonsense, are you serious? There's nothing in the front hall, let's go to the back hall to see what's there."

What Feng Sijiu said was just a joke, so they didn't take it seriously. A group of people walked into the apse, and saw that the apse was built inside the peak of Chonggu Mountain, and it was narrower than the front hall.

It can be said that there is a Daocui stone screen in the middle, on which there is a portrait of the mountain god. The outline is similar to the clay sculpture in the main hall, but the painting is more blurred, and there are no mountain ghosts on both sides. Like a naturally occurring texture.

I think that someone found this mountain god portrait in the worm valley back then, and then the mountain god was erected here.

Bypassing the emerald stone screen, at the end of the temple, there are nine huge stone statues of toads lined up horizontally. When several people saw this arrangement, it happened to correspond to the number of nine in the nine-turn loop.

The nine stone toads at the end of the temple have their big mouths opening and closing, and the orientation of the heads of the toads are also different.

Hu Bayi walked forward and groped for a while on these toad stone carvings, and then found that the mouths of these toads could move, and even their bodies had stone grooves to rotate.

"These nine toads should be the organs that open the secret passage. According to the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes, it is speculated that they are from left to right, and they must be pushed in order. If they move randomly and fail to align with the correct position three times in a row, the machine expansion may fail. Totally stuck."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he hurriedly called Wang Kaixuan to help him. According to the number of loops in nine curves, from left to right, he opened and closed the mouth of the toad respectively, and then used Feng Shui secrets and Yilong Jing to convert formulas, and slowly moved the stone to the ground. The toads are arranged in corresponding directions one by one.

The two tossed about for a long time, and saw that the nine toads had completely returned to their positions, so they stopped. But when they looked around, the inner hall was quiet, and they didn't hear any abnormal movements, as if the nine toads were just waving. It is not an institution for people to see.

Wang Kaixuan impatiently kicked the stone toad and cursed:
"Old Hu, did you make a mistake? Why is there no movement here?"

Regarding this, Hu Bayi was puzzled,

"Impossible. Ordinarily, the nine-curve circle and the mountain should not be wrong, but why didn't there be a secret door opened? Could it be that the machine expansion has been broken for too long?"

"Could it be that the secret door is not in the apse, or let's go back and have a look."

Hearing Shirley Yang's words suddenly, the four of them had no choice but to turn around and search for the front hall in a hurry. Seeing that the front hall was peaceful, they went back to look outside the mountain temple.

Suddenly, Wang Kaixuan shouted in surprise:

"Fuck, why did the mountain god's treasure gourd crack?"

Hearing this, Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang hurriedly looked in the direction of the gourd in their memory, and saw that the stone red gourd in front of the hall had split in two at some point, revealing a dark stone door underneath.

I saw that the stone gate had been repaired in the shape of a toad's mouth. It was flat and short, and it was also made of fiery red marble with some simple patterns carved on it. There were two big copper rings on the left and right sides, which could be lifted up. pull.

"The shape of this stone gate is so similar to a toad's mouth. It reminds me of the beast's mouth in the water cave in Zhelong Mountain. Now, there is something in this toad's mouth. It will be the tunnel leading to the master's tomb. ?"

Xue Liyang's mind has always been careful and cautious. She is not afraid of any danger under the toad's mouth, but she is just worried that there will be no secret passage leading to the tomb of King Xian, and everyone will only be happy in vain.

Seeing her worried look, Hu Bayi hurriedly comforted her and said:
"You don't need to worry. Based on brother Feng's speculation and the marks on the mausoleum, there should be a passage under the toad's mouth, and as long as we can pass, we can go to Lishuilongyun to go to Minglou to sacrifice, except Breaking directly outside the poisonous barrier seems to be the only way to get there."

Seeing that both Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang lacked confidence, Feng Sijiu could only open his mouth to vaccinate the three people around him in advance.

"Xian Wang's methods of changing Feng Shui are all schematic diagrams. Now that the entrance to the secret passage is the toad's mouth, we can infer from it that there must be living toads below, and their size must be unusual. As for them Whether it is dangerous or not, you have to go in to know."

Wang Kaixuan has a carefree personality. Hearing what Feng Sijiu said, he felt that nothing was wrong. Not to mention that there was no danger inside, even if there was, as long as there was something that could be picked up, he would not panic at all.

After thinking about it, he clapped the Chicago typewriter in his hand and said:

"What's so scary about the big Lai Toad? We each have a submachine gun, and we're afraid that it won't succeed. Even if Lai Toad's ancestor comes, we can beat it into a beehive."

It is often said that the source of fear is insufficient firepower. Now that he has the powerful firepower of American submachine guns as his backing, Wang Kaixuan already feels that there is nothing in this world that can threaten him.

"Fatty, don't talk too much. The tomb of King Xian is very carefully arranged. We are not afraid of toads, but who is sure that there will be no powerful institutions in this stone gate. If we go down, we still have to be careful."

"Don't go down today. I think the sun is about to set. Let's have a good night's rest and act again tomorrow morning."

Although there was interference from meteorites, everyone couldn't see what time it was, but when they looked up at the sky, they saw that the setting sun had already set to the west. After hearing Feng Sijiu's suggestion, Hu Bayi and the others did not refute.

Afterwards, the four of them returned to the mountain temple, took out their sleeping bags, and started to burn the pot with ease. The insect valley was quiet and silent, and everyone slept until the next day.

After breakfast, everything was ready to go. The four of them went to the red gourd energetically. Feng Sijiu passed the rope through the copper ring on the side of the stone gate, and then lifted it vigorously, followed by a bang.

The stone door was pulled open by him, and then a narrow passage was revealed. Shirley Yang raised a flare gun and fired a flare at the depth of the passage. The strong light pierced the darkness underground, and a pale light shone deep in the cave .

I saw countless huge white bones and ivory inside, which seemed to be a large-scale sacrificial ditch.

This narrow tunnel is in the shape of a ╦╧ line, and the left and right ends can be seen. There is a hole in each asymmetrical position, and the deepest part is not very clear.

At the end of the lighting projectile, you can see a shimmering flash in the innermost part. Judging from the location, it should be the underground water system of the Snake River.

Feng Sijiu only took a few glances, then turned to the three of them and said:

"It should be right! The bottom here is originally parallel to the deep valley. Since there is a water system flowing downward, then this tunnel can definitely lead to the main tomb of King Xian."

Seeing that Feng Sijiu was so determined, he thought there was nothing wrong with coming to the tunnel.

"In this case, let's go. Although I don't know what powerful mechanism is in this tunnel, compared with the boundless mountain miasma and poisonous fog, it is safer to enter Xianwang's tomb through the underground tunnel."

This visit to the king's tomb is different from the last time I went to the desert to find the Jingjue ancient city. Last time I brought a group of intellectuals, and it was a burden to do things with hands tied.

Now everyone here is nimble and able to respond quickly to deal with dangers. If you think about it, no matter what you encounter below, you can deal with it.

This time there is no bamboo raft, if you want to cross the groundwater, you have to change your equipment, Feng Sijiu threw the big bag of equipment out from the space.

The four of them put on rubber breast swimsuits, then elbow pads and knee pads, the spotlights on the mountaineering helmets were adjusted to the side, and then new batteries were replaced, and a simple small refillable oxygen cylinder was hung on the back.

Since it is not easy to deliver things in the water, apart from sealing [-], each of Hu Bayi and the three of them brought a waterproof carrying bag, which contained emergency medicine, spare batteries, cold fireworks, gas masks, fluorescent tubes, candles, and evil spirits. things, wolf eye flashlights, and the like that need to be used.

Finally, under Feng Sijiu's suggestion, Wang Kaixuan went back and carried the broken door of the mountain temple, and tied many airbags around the door.

In this way, the door panel can be buoyant and float on the water surface, making a simple wooden door boat. Although it can only sit on it, with this thing, when four people swim in the water, they can also lean the upper part of their bodies on it Save yourself some effort.

When everything was ready, the four of them entered the Toad Mouth Tunnel one after another.

The leader was Feng Sijiu, holding a white jade shield made of Kunlun divine jade and a flashlight in his hand, and walked ahead to open the way.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan carried the temple gate with airbags on their shoulders and followed closely behind. Shirley Yang walked at the end. She held a diamond umbrella in her hand and was responsible for breaking the back. The four walked along the slightly steep slope under their feet. Go down slowly.

The tunnel at the entrance was obviously built manually, with neat large blue stones on both sides, and red lacquer sealed on the stone gaps. The large square bricks on the ground are very flat, very similar to the figurines in the ancient tomb.

On both sides of the tunnel, there are many complete elephant skeletons neatly placed, in addition to a large pile of scattered elephant bones.

These sacrificial bones were deliberately half-buried, not completely buried like those in the sacrificial ditch, which implied the meaning of rising with the driver.

Once again appreciating the huge scale of Xianwang's tomb and the luxury of the funerary objects, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded. After all, they never expected that the grass-headed emperor in Yunnan could have such a grand burial pit.

Passing through the sacrificial ditch, several people walked to the end of the tunnel. At this time, under the illumination of the spotlights above their heads, they could only see the reflective area on the water surface. Along the inclined tunnel to this point, there was a drop of about tens of meters from the ground. up.

Looking at it, starting from here, it is no longer a tunnel built by man-made excavation. It looks more like a cave formed naturally underground, and it has been completely submerged in water. If you want to continue from here, you must only Go swimming.

On the stone wall next to the water cave, there are several ancient wooden boats lined up. Unfortunately, due to the age, these wooden boats have been rotten to the point that only the frame of the boat is left, and they are no longer usable.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan pulled away the airbags tied to the temple door, and all the airbags around the broken temple door were filled with air, and the door panel soon floated on the water.

Put the Chicago typewriter and compass on the top of the door panel, so that they can be taken out for use at any time when you go in and find an accident. Then turn on the tactical spotlight on the helmet for illumination, and the four of them went into the water one after another, holding the broken temple door with their hands, and began to wade in.

After walking more than ten meters in the water, the feet could no longer reach the ground, and the water level began to get deeper and deeper. Looking at the position of the compass on the door panel, the position of the water flow was exactly parallel to the direction of the insect valley. It seems that what Feng Sijiu said earlier is not wrong at all.

Going deep inside, the lower the top of the head is from the water surface, this oppressive feeling is extraordinarily oppressive. As the four of them swim farther and farther, the terrain gradually becomes lower, and the distance between the water surface and the cave top gradually decreases in the cave filled with groundwater. Pulling up, breathing is much smoother than before.

Under the light of the helmet spotlights, you can clearly see the water in the cave, and there are still many fish swimming underwater, and you can bump into everyone from time to time.

The deeper you go, the surrounding cave walls are amazing, and you feel surprised, because the coral-shaped stone pillars around the cave walls are fossils of forest trees in ancient times. As for their age, it is impossible to verify them.

Animal fossils are not uncommon in nature, but plant fossils are very rare, because plants decay much faster than animal bones.

Although Shirley Yang has visited many places of interest in the world, she was also excited by the countless plant fossils she saw.

It was rare for Hu Bayi to see the worried Shirley Yang happy, so he also said with a smile:

"Although the King's Tomb is full of dangers, it is worthwhile for us to come here and see things that ordinary people can't see in a lifetime."

Wang Kaixuan was not interested in these broken stones at all, so he curled his lips and said:

"These broken stones, what's there to look at? It's no good to see more. We might as well go into the tomb of King Xian and touch a few earth-shattering artifacts and go back. When the time comes, the grandson of Da Jinya will be shocked. It is expected that the group of soil turtles in Panjiayuan has never seen it before."

"Fatty, if you really want to get an earth-shattering artifact back, maybe within a day, our brothers will have to go in and listen to the command. When the time comes, the whole country will report, let alone Pan Jiayuan, comrades all over the country will be punished by us." His great deeds to..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Feng Sijiu raised his hand and clenched his fist to interrupt the conversation between the two. Under the light of the tactical spotlight, he saw Feng Sijiu's expression on his face was particularly dignified:

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Hearing this, the three of them were a little astonished. Hu Bayi just wanted to ask what was wrong, but suddenly his heart tightened, as if his body was hit by a weak electric current.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of loss inexplicably in my heart, and my mood suddenly became depressed. Looking at Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang, I saw that their expressions were not right now.

"Brother Feng, what's going on? Why, I suddenly feel panic in my heart? I even feel a little helpless."

Feng Sijiu didn't answer. He could probably guess what appeared, but he still had to confirm it, so he took out a flashlight that could illuminate a distance of more than 20 meters from the space, and suddenly a beam of light stronger than tactical spotlights shone forward.

The eyes of Hu Bayi and the others followed the light and looked forward. Just by looking at it, the three of them felt the biting cold groundwater permeate the rubber swimsuit and rushed straight to the scalp.

Because I saw in the front, on the originally calm water, a white figure suddenly appeared in the moment when the light shined on it. When I looked carefully, I saw that it was a female corpse with a whole body in plain clothes.

She wasn't motionless on the water in front of her, she seemed to be floating towards them from there. Because the scene was extremely quiet at this time, Feng Sijiu could hear it with her keen ears, and the heartbeats of the three people beside her were getting faster and faster. quick.

And the sudden nightmare-like sense of panic in the hearts of Hu Bayi and the others also became more intense.

The closer you get, the more clearly you can see. I saw that the female corpse was wearing a plain white mourning dress. She was facing the sky, with her hands stretched horizontally and slightly hanging behind her back. As the distance between the female corpse and the four gradually shortened, the white-clothed female corpse The contours of his facial features are also faintly revealed.

The body of the female corpse is covered with a layer of faint blue light, which is a kind of light without temperature, which symbolizes death and coldness. At first glance, it feels chilly, like a will-o’-the-wisp in a cemetery. I don’t know this female corpse, Or why the female ghost suddenly appeared from the bottom of the water.

Everyone held their breath, suppressed the fear in their hearts, and quietly watched the female corpse floating up from the water, thinking that she would float over, but who would have expected that female corpse floating up from the water with sprawled sprawl.

In the blink of an eye, it suddenly disappeared into the dark water. Looking at the bottom of the water at this time, the dim blue light that wrapped the female corpse in the sparkling water had already disappeared and became invisible.

Following the disappearance of the female corpse, there was also an inexplicable sense of panic in their hearts. For a while, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Brother Feng, what is that thing? Why is it that as soon as she appeared, I was in a panic in my heart. It didn't look like an ordinary dead drift, not to mention the sense of panic, as silent as her Appearing without a breath, and disappearing without a sound, could it be a female ghost?"

At this time, everyone's upper body was floating on the water, and the bottom of the water was even more unfathomable. Looking from the top down, it seemed that they were swimming in a dark and invincible abyss. Deaddrift popped up from elsewhere.

Feng Sijiu thought about it carefully, and then looked at the trembling Mojin trio beside him.

"I speculate that that thing should be Mama. Have you seen her bulging belly? She is probably pregnant."

Hearing this suddenly, Wang Kaixuan opened his mouth in disbelief.

"What? Mommy? Lao Feng, according to what you mean, there is a son in the dead body? Could it be another water swine bee?"
