Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 632 Ksitigarbha Tianhua
Everyone got out of this ancient cemetery and continued on the same road. The big yellow duck and tofu, the brothers and sisters, got together to greet the lazy ancestors.Stopping and stopping like this, at dusk, the environment in front of us changed a bit, the forest became sparser, and the water vapor gradually disappeared, making the moss-covered trees a little dry, and thick dead leaves piled up on the ground , I don’t know how many years, there is a unique smell of decaying leaves in the forest.

According to the route we have explored in advance, there is a big tree ditch ahead, and passing through this big tree hook is our destination.

Seeing that the sky was getting late and the dead leaves were lying in the hooks of the big trees, which were the most likely to breed insects and snakes, Mr. Hu said that he would spend the night outside the ditch first, and then officially enter the ditch tomorrow, so as not to be unaware of the situation, and there would be no accidents. Tofu is my favorite thing, once the tent is set up, I just go in and lie on my stomach, I am so tired that I don’t want to eat anything.After setting up the camp, everyone ate something and rested after arranging the vigil.

This time, Tofu and I had a relatively late vigil, and it was scheduled for the period from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], so as soon as I entered the tent, I fell asleep too. After walking for a day, I was exhausted. Lying on the mat, the comfortable bones became soft, and I didn't even want to move.

I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep for this sleep, and I fell into a drowsy sleep. I felt as if my body was being pressed by something, my chest became more and more stuffy, and it was difficult to breathe.In my sleep, I struggled to wake up, but I was still crushed by that thing, and I felt like I was about to die.

I don't know how long I struggled before I finally opened my eyes. In a daze, I thought it was a ghost pressing the bed.But when I opened my eyes, it turned out that Tofu had gone crazy for some reason and directly treated me as a human mat.I was so angry that I was about to hit someone when I heard him mutter, "It's so cold."

After he said that, I realized that at some point, the temperature had dropped.

It's September now, which is the end of summer and early autumn, but there is still some residual heat, the kind that you don't need to cover yourself with a quilt when you lie down.But now, I really feel the coolness, the surrounding temperature seems to have dropped a lot, I even have a feeling that it is winter, no wonder tofu suddenly treats me like a human pad.

I didn't know what was going on, so I opened the tent and went out. Outside the tent, Mr. Hu, the big yellow duck and the lazy guy were all sitting around the campfire.I raised my wrist to check the time. It happened to be two o'clock in the morning. It should be the time for the big yellow duck's vigil. Why are Lazy and Hu Ye up?
Seeing me coming out, Mr. Hu said: "The temperature has dropped, it's dropped very badly." As soon as he opened his mouth, a stream of white mist spit out from his mouth. ?”

The big yellow duck rubbed his hands together and said, "Ghost knows, our department didn't bring winter clothes."

As he said that, he motioned for me to wake up Tofu. If he sleeps like this, he will definitely get sick. It is not easy to get sick in this deep mountain and old forest.So I returned the tent, kicked up the tofu that had huddled into a ball and slept soundly, and a group of people sat around the campfire to keep warm.

All of this was only a matter of ten minutes, but the temperature dropped even worse. In the cold wind, goosebumps could not be controlled, and I couldn't help sneezing. This time our equipment is so good It is well-equipped and well-equipped, but in hot weather, no one prepares winter clothes.

Sitting by the fire is much warmer than being in a tent. Mr. Hu said let us continue to sleep. The sudden drop in temperature here may have something to do with the terrain, and it doesn't matter.Everyone huddled by the campfire and prepared to continue to sleep. However, before they could fall asleep, they heard a hiss from the mouth of the lazy watchman, as if something had happened.Right now, I just feel that the temperature is getting lower and lower, and I can't sleep. As soon as he made a sound, I immediately felt fishy. When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help being stunned. The fluttering things fell down.

I got up to pick up some, the tentacles were icy cold, and it melted into water droplets all at once, not snow or anything.

The rest of the people climbed up one after another, seeing this vision, they couldn't help but looked at each other.

How can it snow in the weather in August and September?
Could it be that I am dreaming?
At this time, Mr. Hu frowned and looked at the dark sky, and said: "There is something wrong with the snow in September." On the contrary, Tofu didn't think it was strange, rubbing his hands and said: "We probably encountered strong convective weather. I read a book before." , It said that in temperate high-altitude areas, it may snow under special conditions. This matter is not without a criminal record. Instead of wondering why it snows, it is better to think about what to do next. We have no clothes, in case it snows It keeps on pouring, what kind of bucket is pouring, it’s freezing to death.”

When Tofu said this, I suddenly remembered something. In Yang Fang’s geomancy secret technique, there was a record of a peculiar geomantic omen called 'Dizang Tianhua'. This is a unique terrain. The explanation is that, in such a terrain, the cold air in the ground is heavy, and it is stored underground. Once it is vented, the cold air will be exposed, causing hoarfrost from the sky, and freezing thousands of miles.Such a pattern is generally not visible from the surface, and it must be drilled in a deep hole for experiments to be seen.

Most of such Feng Shui bureaus are unknown, just like truffles, hidden in the ground, and can only be discovered by luck, and there is no clue at all from the surface.

After I explained my thoughts, Mr. Hu said, "That is to say, this place is a natural geomantic treasure, but since it's snowing, it means that someone has already discovered it beforehand and vented the cold air, so there is such a change?"

I nodded and said, "I'm afraid that behind this big tree ditch, a terrible person is buried." Before nightfall, since we were still wondering why the trees here, when we reached the big tree ditch, showed a Two different states.The trees in Dashugou give people a sense of depression, with dead branches and leaves, as if they have just experienced a cold winter. Now, I am afraid that the weather in Dashugou should be repeated like this often, which makes the trees Xiaoxiao.

It can only be said that we were unlucky when we encountered this situation tonight.

Master Hu asked me: "Since this is the case, how long do you think the snow will fall?"

I said: "Not necessarily, it depends on the overall specifications of Jizang Tianhua. The longer the time interval, the shorter the rhythm of snowing. I guess when it was just built, it must be in a frozen state. Now there are trees. If it grows, it will be almost as long as it will come to Huaxie today, and it shouldn't last long, if it is short, it will be tomorrow morning, if it is slow, it will be three to five days, let's see the situation and make a decision."

Tofu sneezed. Hearing that the snow might fall for three to five days, he couldn't help scolding his mother, and hurriedly went to the equipment bag to find a change of clothes, and put them all on his body.However, since the change of clothes is also in summer, it doesn't have much effect. It should be cold or continue to be cold.

Because we have a bonfire here, there is no snow, and it has been like this for more than an hour. Frost has formed on the leaves not far away, and the leaves are covered with white. open bubbles.

In such a cold day, how could we still sleep, so we had to burn the bonfire vigorously, then rubbed our hands and stamped our feet, and waited for the sun to rise to see the situation.

If the snow really falls for three to five days, our actions will probably die prematurely.

Just like this, the sky finally dawned, but the snow still didn't stop.

Tofu sniffled his nose and said, "It seems that we are unlucky. I don't know how long it will snow. I said, old man Hu, can we go back to our hometown?"

Mr. Hu has always been serious, but when he heard the words, he gave Tofu a hard look, frowned and looked at the half-baked Dashugou, and asked me: "How many days?"

I nodded.

Master Hu quickly said: "Take out all the things that can keep out the cold, and cross the ditch in the snow."

Tofu immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "I don't want to be a popsicle." Mr. Hu completely ignored Tofu's words, and said, "Crossing this big tree ditch will take half a day if there is no accident. Tombs, you can avoid them by going down in the bucket before nightfall.” Generally, when you go down into the bucket, the cold air can be isolated due to the earth’s air.Master Hu meant that he wanted to take a risk, but only if there were no accidents.

To be honest, I have fought so many fights, and none of them are safe.Most of the ancient tombs are located in the deep mountains and marshes where there are few people. Naturally, the mountains are dangerous and dense, and the beasts are rampant. No one can tell what dangers there will be when walking among them.

Once that accident happened, what should I do?
The lazy guy was the first one to respond to Mr. Hu's words. He seemed eager to try, yawned, then flipped through the equipment bag, and put all the replacement clothes on his body. In desperation, we could only follow suit, and then Pack up your equipment and start to ride the snow into the ditch.
