Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 591 The main hall
From the looks of it, it was the dumb manipulator who opened a certain secret tomb passage and brought us here.

Looking forward, there are blue tomb bricks, very large tomb bricks, and about five or six meters above, there is a huge tomb door. At this moment, the tomb door is tightly closed. Brought down by the mute.

And Harichagai didn't look at the tomb door, he looked in the opposite direction to me, that is, behind me.

Under the shining of the pearl, this place does not need a flashlight at all, so when I turned around, I could see the situation behind me clearly. At this moment, I even thought I had entered another world.Behind me is a space that cannot be seen at a glance, the 'sky' is black, dotted with 'stars', and the world under the night is shrouded in a layer of twilight.One after another, the exquisite and unsurpassed buildings stand tall and low, row upon row, far and near, making people feel as if they have entered a palace in the night.

You must know that we are now in the underground palace, and in the underground, seeing such a building complex that can only appear on the ground, the feeling can no longer be described as shocking.These silent palaces are silent under the light of the night pearl. Perhaps they have been standing like this for more than 1000 years. Even today, they are still exquisite and unusual.

Harichagai and I were so shocked by this scene that we couldn't speak at all for a while, but the mute on the ground was still lying on the ground in a large font, seemingly unmoved by the surrounding environment.I took a few deep breaths to calm down my beating heart. Seeing the dumb look, I couldn't help being shocked, and I thought, don't you just fall stupid?So he quickly squatted down, helped the person half-sit up, and said, "Wu Shui? Wu Shui? Are you okay?"

The dumb eyeball rolled slightly, and finally shook his head, but as he shook his head, there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.This kid is trying to be brave!But it seems that he is persevering.The mute reached out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and coughed painfully, as if his internal organs had been injured.The ominous feeling in my heart became heavier.

Perhaps, this time the mute really...

I felt uncomfortable for a while, so I didn't care about other things, and said, "Don't be brave, can you still move? What kind of place is this?"

The mute shook his head, closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again, and said hoarsely, "I can't do it."

"Don't say that, haven't you always had your eyes in the sky? Good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years. You can't die." I couldn't help but say this. '

The dumb expression froze for a moment, and he looked at me with astonishment. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and instead of responding to my words, he answered my previous question, saying: "Go forward. , the location of the main hall, there is everything you want to know."

main hall?

I said, "Why don't you tell me? Why did you take the risk to bring me here? You and Lu Su..." Before I could finish speaking, the dumb man hissed with his fingers upright, and said, "He wants me to be thundered, and he wants me to It won't be long before he catches up, and with his character, he will definitely kill everyone. Ahem...I can't hold out until the end, you two...cough, go to the main hall...go..." He said , the corners of his mouth kept bleeding, and accompanied by a violent cough, my nerves became tense and became a thread.

Could it be that there is no record here in the silk book, that's why Lu Su asked the mute to visit the thunder?Since the mute knows the mechanism here, did he come down when he was injured for the first time?Why did the mute come back to this place again after Lu Su said the truth?
He is almost a dying person now, what are he still worrying about?
At this time, the mute said again: "Go quickly, hurry up."

At this moment, Harichagai withdrew his gaze from the silent palaces and said, "Then what should you do?"

The mute closed his eyes, and his voice had already started to weaken: "Don't worry about me, all of this is meaningless to me..." As he spoke, his eyelids slowly drooped, and I almost thought He breathed out, and immediately went to feel his breath, fortunately he still had breath, but the breath was already very weak.

At this time, Haricha Gai said: "I said Chen Xuan, do you believe what he said? Yes, let's get down to business and go to the main hall to have a look." At this moment, from where we are, we can see In the center of the palace complex, there is a palace that is much higher than the surrounding buildings. It should be the main hall that the mute said.

what will there be
I looked at the dumb and pale face, and I was at a loss for a while, who is this person in front of me?It's not a statement, nor is it a purifier, he appeared suddenly, with a mystery, but now, I haven't figured out anything, but this person seems to be close to death.

What is the truth?
After Harichagai finished speaking, I said: "Believe it, according to what he said, let's hurry up."

He pointed to the mute again, and said, "What should he do?" I frowned, thinking that Lu Su would come down at some point, and it would be really dangerous to leave the mute alone here, so I threw the equipment bag away. Gave it to Haricha, and carried the dumb on his own.

At this moment, connecting the palace in the distance is a long arched bridge. Standing at the head of the bridge and looking down, the space under the bridge is about seven or eight meters high, and you can vaguely see the end. Looking down, you can see the shadows below. , but it can be clearly distinguished that the ones below are all dummies.

The figurines under the bridge should represent the guards of the palace. This is a special underground palace.Mausoleum, the mausoleum is above the tomb, the tomb is below, the tomb is hidden underground, and the mausoleum is located above the tomb, which is the building on the surface of the ancient tomb.But now, in this underground palace, the traditional method has been changed, as if the entire Biao Mausoleum has been moved into the underground palace.

The whole building seems to be simulating an ancient palace complex.At first, I thought that this palace group was imitating the royal palace of Ailao Kingdom, but looking at the structure of the entire palace, it is a very typical Han Dynasty architecture, which seems to have nothing to do with Ailao Kingdom.

What kind of medicine is sold in Puzhen's gourd?

I am still wearing a mask right now, with a dumb man on my back, and it is somewhat inconvenient to move, while Harichagai is walking in front, not stopping, waving the staff in his hand, looking around, touching stones from time to time The guardrail of the bridge is like a Monkey King, walking in front without stopping.

This bridge is a green bridge made of green bricks, about three meters wide, and every three meters on the guardrail, there is a strange animal head carved. There is a ring, and the ring is covered with dense grimaces.I can see that this is a kind of ancient tomb-suppressing beast. It is said that it can swallow ghosts. The ancients were buried and paid attention to sleeping. Beasts specialize in eating wandering spirits and evil things.

Looking at this design, it seems that this place is not allowed to enter from the evil door, which seems to be very important.

When we walked to the middle of the bridge, Harichagai let out a cry, suddenly squatted down, picked up something from the ground, handed it to me, and said, "Look." When I looked, I found that it was a torn food packaging bag, It's the packaging bag of beef jerky. This packaging bag was 'eaten' very clean. There should have been some black brine in it, but now there is no trace left. Apparently the person who ate the beef jerky stuck out his tongue after eating it. I licked the sauce inside the bag.

There is only one person who can eat in this disgusting way, tofu.

I looked at the packaging bag, and I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. It seemed that the tofu boy should be in this place, and he probably lived well, otherwise he wouldn’t have such a good appetite. I took a closer look at the stone There was no blood on the surface of the bridge, indicating that Tofu was not injured.

Seeing this, I was relieved and angry at the same time, thinking that since this kid is so familiar with this ancient tomb, why did he keep it secret?How much loss would our team have saved if he had confessed this matter earlier?But how many fewer people died?

In the past, when he made some mistakes, I would turn a blind eye and close my eyes, but this time, when I thought about it, I panicked in my heart, and immediately quickened my pace and said, "Go, get your kid out. "

Harichagai looked at the licked clean packaging bag in his hand, shrugged, threw the things away, and continued walking behind me.After crossing the blue stone bridge, there is a small square behind, about twenty square meters, there are temples on both sides of the open space, the doors and windows are closed, I don't know what it is for.

I didn't want to cause more trouble, so I took Harichagai all the way towards the largest palace in sight. The two hurried on the ground paved with blue bricks, and the road was lifeless. I was worried that this place would be set up by Puzhen. What a weird thing, but this time I guessed wrong. About ten minutes later, Harichagai and I arrived in front of the main hall.

The stone steps in front of the main hall have a total of eighteen floors, on which there are nine red lacquered columns, the central one is wide open, the surrounding light is hazy, and the light of the night pearl cannot penetrate into the palace, so the inside is dark and gloomy.

Harichagai looked very vigilant and puzzled, and said, "I didn't sense anything evil. There are many dangers in this ancient tomb. Why did it stop here?" I looked at the mute sideways, and this As soon as I entered the main hall, I didn't know what would happen, and it was really inconvenient to take him with me, so I took Harichagai up the steps, put down the dumb man, let him lie down against the stone pillar, and said to Harichagai: "If there is a way, those who rebel must become demons. The quieter the surface, the less you know what danger is there. Follow me, don't let your guard down."

Then, he turned on the flashlight and led him into the main hall.

Anyway, Harichagai came here for Zhuanrui's affairs, and Zhuanrui came to help me. In this matter, I have no obligation to let them take risks ahead.
