Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 693 Baby
Everyone's gazes were involuntarily focused on the few stone slabs behind the plane. The slate behind the plane had a very weird shape, it was like a big mushroom, and there were several human faces growing on the mushroom.

Cyclops said: "What is this thing?"

Wen Min shook his head, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't understand it, but it's a pity that I can't read these words." Hong Mao said, "It's better to dig it out, and then find someone to look after you go out."

"This is a good idea. These are also relatively precious historical materials. You can take them out to show them." Wen Min is engaged in anti-smuggling of cultural relics and knows many experts in this field. The people she mentioned should be some people who do archaeology .

While speaking, she took out a pen and paper from the equipment bag and started to record. There is no tool for expanding things here, so I can only record with a pen. In order not to make mistakes, she did it very carefully. During this process, we will continue to look down.On the stone slab behind the mushroom, there is a high mountain engraved, with a red sun on the top of the mountain and a few kneeling people at the foot of the mountain.We don't have any historical data to correspond to things that haven't happened, so we are confused.

Looking down, there are more or less incomprehensible patterns. When I saw the last one, the stone slab was empty. There was a sunken palm print on the empty stone slab.

At this time, Wen Min was still recording slowly, and the few of us looked at each other, unable to understand.The redhead stepped back to study the mushroom and said, "What do you think?"

The lazy guy yawned and said, "I don't know what to say."

The one-eyed dragon stared at the mushroom, smacked its mouth, and said, "I don't know what kind of mushroom this is. It has a human face on it." A reliable person, who has been hanging out with tofu for a long time, can't speak at all.

I looked at it, and suddenly my heart moved, and I remembered the records in the picture that I pushed back before, and suddenly came up with an idea, and said: "You say, does this mushroom look like the scene when a nuclear weapon exploded?" When I said this, Cyclops mouth Li hissed, and suddenly said: "Like, really like, similar to the picture in the book, master, your reaction is fast enough."

I said: "Look, although the faces here are small, they have different expressions and are extremely painful. Therefore, this picture should refer to the scene of a nuclear weapon explosion."

Wen Min stopped recording after hearing the words, and said, "Isn't that consistent with Tui Bei Tu's prophecy?"

One is the Warring States Period and the other is the Tang Dynasty. The prophecies of two different countries and different time and space overlap surprisingly.If it was before, I would never have believed it, but at this moment, I have to suppress the shock in my heart.

Everyone's shocked looks reminded me of a sentence in "Zhuangzi": Little knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and the young year is not as good as the big year.The ever-changing fungi do not know that a month has its first day and its last day, and the life of a cricket is only one summer, and it is never possible to know that there are spring and autumn in a year.In this world, many things may not exist, but most of us are like the fungus that lives and dies, and the cricket that only lasts one summer.

Does what we can't see really exist?

It now appears that the answer is no.And the ancients understood this truth a long time ago. In the past few years, what impresses me the most is: never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, otherwise you will pay a heavy price for it.

Whether it's Chen Ci, Lu Su, Zhuan Rui, Fei Dao Bai Lao Si, or Bai San Ye and his gang, in modern times, all of them are of one side, but when they get to Dou Li, they are turned around by the ancients and disappear. There are many people who die.

I suppressed the shock in my heart, continued to look at the next picture, and connected it with the picture of Tuibei, so that the following prophecy could be seen a little bit.The second picture is one mountain, one day, the mountain is extremely high, and the sun is extremely large, which is a bit like the phenomenon of "sunshine", that is, when the air quality is extremely poor, the sun's light will spread out in the clouds, forming a visual The sun on the sky grows bigger.

The high mountains above and the huge sun can be foreseen as the extremely harsh post-war environment, but why the people at the foot of the mountain bow down to the mountain is unknown, and further down, there are explanations and pushes. The prophecy of the back picture is extremely similar.

It's just that when it reached the last empty slate, it was still difficult to figure out.

What would an empty palm print mean?
Cyclops reached out and patted the stone slab, and then compared his palm with the palm print. The palm was slightly narrower than his, and the fingers were longer. It seemed that this hand should belong to that kind of slender The hand, the owner of the hand, is probably not a rough worker.

Who made this rubbing?

Could it be the one who left these slates?
I tried to put my hand on it for comparison, and the fingers were about the same length, but my palm was slightly wider.Just as he was thinking, Lazy Road suddenly said to Hongmao: "You put your hand on it and try?" Hongmao looked suspicious and tried to press down his hand. When he pressed it, the size was just right, and his whole body was embedded in the handprint .

"Huh." Harichagai made a sound in surprise.Before we could react, the stone slab suddenly made a muffled sound, and at the same time, the whole slate turned violently.We didn't expect this scene. When the slate was turned, the red hair closest to him was instantly turned behind the slate.

From the looks of it, there should be something like a darkroom behind the stone slab.

At the same time, the handprint was no longer on the turned stone slab. On the contrary, there were stone paintings engraved on it.

In the painting is a child sitting cross-legged, with his eyes open, staring directly at us.Although the technique of this stone carving is simple, the eyes are lifelike, as if the child above is alive.

However, what that gaze expressed was definitely not the gaze a child should have, on the contrary, it looked like a wise old man.

I quickly patted the slate, but there was no response.

What will be the space behind this slab?
Will Cyclops be in any danger right now?
I tried knocking and heard the sound. The stone slab is not too thick, so breaking it is not a big problem.

Thinking of this, I recalled the thing about the lazy guy asking the one-eyed dragon to reach out just now. Could it be that this kid knows something?Thinking of this, I looked at him.The lazy guy obviously saw what I was thinking, and said, "I've seen a mechanism activated by handprints, and his hands seem more suitable."

His expression is still lazy, I feel a little suspicious about this explanation.But it's useless to ask these questions now, so I said, "It doesn't matter, first break the stone slab."

Lazy raised his eyelids and said, "If you don't want to die, just smash it."

"What do you mean?" Wen Min asked me.

Lazy sat down cross-legged, and said: "I said, I have seen similar institutions. This kind of institution is actually a reserved institution."

"Reserved agency?" Cyclops stared very wide with his one eye, expressing his incomprehension.

Lazy nodded and said: "To put it simply, only designated people can activate the mechanism. There should be something behind the stone chamber. Once the mechanism is activated, it can only be opened from the inside. If external force is used, the inside will self-destruct. The device will start."

Cyclops immediately retorted: "Just a handprint, that's too unsafe? If you are interested, you can print a hand model, even if it is not the designated person, it can open the mechanism. Besides, the hand size coincides with the probability It's very high, don't you see that the red hair is right? This institution is too serious."

The lazy guy yawned, tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes, and he half-closed his eyes and said, "You have to ask the people who made the mechanism to see what they think. But now I just want to say, wait a minute. , and wait for him to come out by himself."

After finishing speaking, he sat down cross-legged, and pinched himself fiercely, presumably to disperse his drowsiness.I couldn't get angry when I saw this kid was tearful, sleepy to death, but unable to sleep, so I shook my head and could only wait.

The lazy guy has a conscience, so he comforted me and said: "Don't worry, this kind of mechanism is rare, and most of them keep some kind of treasure for the designated person. That kid should not be in any danger. On the contrary, he Not bad luck."

These words really made me feel a little comforted, so I waited patiently, while Wen Min took out his notebook and continued to record. During the period, Cyclops and I put our ears to the slate from time to time, hoping to hear something, but it was too long. After more than an hour, there was no sound.

Just when I was a little impatient, there was a creaking sound in the silent stone room, and then, the stone slab was turned over again, but this time, the slate was only turned halfway, and did not close.At the same time, the red hair strode out from the inside, his face was flushed, and he smiled coquettishly.

It looked like something good had happened.

I can't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that this kid really got some kind of treasure?Thinking of this, he looked him up and down a few times, but found that there was nothing extra on him.

At this time, Harichagai made a gesture to us and said, "A good news and a bad news, which one should I listen to first?"

I said: "OK."

He smiled and said: "The good news is that we don't have to worry about falling asleep or not. When this mechanism is activated, the self-destruct device of the sacrificial temple will start to activate, and they will be destroyed first."

"What?" Cyclops scolded his mother in surprise, and said, "This is good news, we are still here, self-destructive ass, what's going on?" Harichagai put his hands in his trouser pockets, With a look of no worries at all, he said slowly: "Who told you that this place would collapse? Guess what's in there?"

I said: "Baby."

Hongmao choked, and said, "How do you know?"

I pursed my lips and signaled the lazy guy, Hongmao rolled his eyes and said, "Why do you interfere in everything, if that's the case, then come in." Show us the way, motion us to follow, to the secret room behind the stone slab.
