Tomb Raiders: Evacuate the Bronze Door

Chapter 17 Broken Bamboo Slips, How Much A Sheep? (Seek to follow up)

Wu Xie wiped off his cold sweat and said:

"I really didn't expect... Forget it, I'm almost used to it."

"Take a picture of the pattern on the puzzle, and then just remove it."

"See what my grandpa is hiding in there?"

The fat man brought over the mobile phones that several people were charging. After everyone took pictures one by one, he tore off the wrapping paper on the outside of the jigsaw puzzle.

After a few minutes.

Fifty pieces of bamboo slips were neatly placed on the ground, cut into palm-sized bamboo slips.

Everyone looked intently, only to see some Qin seal characters written in ink on the bamboo slips.

Everyone frowned.

The fat man scratched his head with both hands, grinned and said:
"Fat Master, although I can't understand what is written on it."

"But damn, who is in charge of cutting the bamboo slips? Why did you have to chop up all the handwriting?"

"It's because we're afraid we'll see what's written on it, right?"

"This secrecy measure is really awesome! It's like a tiger charm for dispatching an army."

"Two copies of the things are hidden in different places. If you don't find them all, you won't be able to use them at all."

Zhou Fan laughed and said:

"Especially part of it was hidden in Xiao Wu's childhood toys."

"It's really hard to find."

Wu Xie stared helplessly, looked over and over at the writing on the bamboo slips, and finally said with a bitter face:
"I can confirm the style of these handwriting. It must be the handwriting of the late Warring States period and the Shihuang period."

"But... what was written, I can't understand now."

"Originally, I didn't know much about the characters at that time, but now that they have been cut into a mess, I can't even recognize them."

With dark circles under his eyes that were getting darker, Tie Zhu said with dizzy eyes:

"The handwriting on the bamboo slips is an important point."

"The bamboo on the bamboo slip itself must have a great background."

"Big brothers, why don't you just ignore the handwriting and see if the bamboo used to make the bamboo slips can come in handy?"

The little brother randomly picked out a few bamboo slips and looked at them, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said:
"The original uncut bamboo slips should be 23.1 to 27.8 centimeters in length and 0.5 to 0.8 centimeters in width."

"In these bamboo slips, there is an extremely strong murderous corpse aura."

"Under the original bamboo forest, there must have been a large number of strange corpses buried with a very high degree of viciousness."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Fan touched his chin, looked at the little brother, and said:
"If it is inferred from the handwriting, size, and growth environment of the bamboo slips."

"The original bamboo forest was probably near the 'Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Tomb'."

Wu Xie, Fatty, Tie Zhu, all looked confused.

The little brother nodded and said:
"That place is very dangerous."

"I can't go yet."

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, a little nervous and more secretly excited.

Tie Zhu said "I can't beat anything, so I just concentrate on waiting for Master Hua".

Zhou Fan also became interested in the fragments of these bamboo slips at this time, and he checked all 50 fragments one by one.

[Where do you go to get the wool and where to go, trace the source. 】

[Bamboo shoots for food, bamboo tiles for shelter, bamboo rafts for carrying, bamboo firewood for storage, bamboo skin for clothing, bamboo paper for writing, bamboo shoes for walking on, it can be said that you cannot live without these things for a day! 】

(Cuan, pronunciation: channeling. Meaning: cooking with fire.)
[Congratulations on obtaining the "grabbing bamboo shoots" talent skill and related spells. 】

Zhou Fan's eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed outright.

Tie Zhu looked at Zhou Fan strangely and blankly.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at Zhou Fan with golden eyes.

There was a little smile in the younger brother's eyes, and he asked Zhou Fan:

"Using the technique of tracing back to the source, did you get something interesting?"

Zhou Fan laughed for a while before saying solemnly:

"This time it's amazing."

"I directly gave the ancient style of 'Molten Iron Sealing the Coffin' to the Taoist Iron Crown who has been carried forward. One of his top talent skills has been picked up by the wool."

Zhou Fan told everyone about the innate skills and related spells of "Duo Bamboo Shoots".

Everyone has a look of "grabbing bamboo shoots and picking up wherever they go, it's a perfect match", and the expressions are also wild.

Zhou Fan looked at Wu Xie again and said:
"It can be used in conjunction with the skill of making weird bows and arrows."

"Many wonderful uses of bamboo have been recorded in "Bamboo Book"."

"One of them is called 'Arrow Bamboo'. The height is one foot, and the internodes are three feet. It is strong, and the middle is the arrow."

"The entry-level arrows are the most convenient for making things that kill the corpse."

"Xiao Wu, it seems that your weapon will probably be available before Fatty's."

Wu Xie immediately felt complacent, and raised her chin at the fat man.

The fat man let out a hey, put all the pieces of bamboo slips into a small cloth bag, threw them to Wu Xie, and said:

"Innocent, take this thing with you."

"Since your second uncle and Mr. Qi both pointed out this thing at this time."

"It must be useful after entering the hidden royal tomb under your shop."

Wu Xie nodded, and put the small cloth bag into the "emergency backpack" she carried with her.

Then the little brother looked a little serious, and said to Zhou Fan:

"The big ship going to the city of the corpse country may also use the Xuanmen technique you got this time."

Zhou Fan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up again, and he said:

"It was also recorded in Mr. Zhang Dai's outing diary "Tao Yan Meng Yi"."

"...Magnificent forests and bamboos, the bamboos are as big as rafters, polished and smooth as bones...To the mysterious tomb, stay on a painting boat."

The little brother's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"As expected of him."

Wu Xie and Fatty recalled it instantly.

The ancestors of Zhang Dai and Mr. Qi used Taoist techniques to transmit the huge and luxurious ships in the picture.

Both of them had goosebumps from excitement.

Tie Zhu said with a pale face:
"I also don't understand what you are talking about, big brother Zhang Dai, the big ship made by Taoist techniques, the mysterious tomb and the city of the corpse country to go to."

"But Master Hua'er and Heixiazi received Qi Yu who forcibly came to visit."

"I listened to it, and that Qi Yu also mentioned what kind of boat he found."

"But I don't know what happened afterwards. Qi Yu asked Master Hua'er to abandon him, and I was kicked out."

"However, Master Hua'er made it clear before he set off that he will go to the Second Tomb of the World, the Dragon Palace of Corpses, and the Queen Mother's Ghost Banquet."

"So... if you are painting a big boat, are you going to use it in the Dragon Palace of Corpses?"

"What about the queen mother's ghost banquet?"

Zhou Fan, little brother, Wu Xie, Fatty, picked up the parts that could be said, and told Tie Zhu everything about Xiaohua and Heixiazi.

With an expression on his face about to collapse, Tie Zhu said:
"The matter is of great importance. After I wait for Mr. Qi's buddy to bring the wound medicine, I will take the medicine and go back first."

"Master Hua'er is not here now, and the second and fifth sons under his command are all coming out on their own."

"Although I am not ranked among Hua'er Master's subordinates in other respects."

"But my utter loyalty to Master Hua will definitely rank No.2."

"That's why the blind man can get ahead of me."

"I have to do the logistical work on Master Hua's side."

Before Tie Zhu finished speaking, Fatty's cell phone rang, and Mr. Qi's buddy arrived.

Everyone let Mr. Qi's buddy into the house.

First, he smeared Tie Zhu with the wound medicine specially ordered by Mr. Qi.

Then everyone told the old man Qi's capable general what happened before.

Afterwards, everyone gathered in front of the computer.

Let's check the contents of the memory card that Xiaohua hid in that strange piece of carrion jerky together.

There are only two photos in the memory card.

Above the first photo.

It is in a bamboo forest that can't be seen at a glance.

Countless soft and boneless figures stood densely packed, and they all held Chaos Lamps in their hands.

Not far from where Xiaohua was filming at that time, there are three huge stone monuments.

The stele is very simple and domineering.

There are extremely complicated handwriting and patterns engraved on it, but I don't know if it is the problem of Xiaohua's shooting angle, or the mystery of the stone tablet.

No matter how everyone adjusted the photo, they couldn't see the writing on the stele clearly.

There are three unusually tall human-shaped white bones pieced together using many old and new human bones.

Lindan was sitting in front of these three huge steles.

Their bony soles trampled into the head of a corpse covered with corpse spots.

On the bodies of the three corpses, there are unicorn tattoos that are similar to the tattoo pattern on the younger brother's body, but not exactly the same.

Everyone gasped, with expressions of anger on their faces.

This is an overtly provocative act.

Everyone looked at the little brother.

The little brother was silent for a while, and said:

"Look at another photo."

The second and last photo.

Xiaohua used some tiny branches to form two lines of writing on the ground:
"Thinking that we have reached our destination, but in fact we are only on our way to our destination. This is the key to getting to the Second Mausoleum of the World."

"I set an alarm to go off in two hours, but it never went off."
