Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 65 Preparations, Getting out of the Undersea Tomb ([-])

When the little brother said this, Wu Xie immediately remembered what happened a few weeks ago.

"I remember that at that time we were about to go to the Lu Palace, and when we passed the corpse cave, we caught a big corpse. There was a bell like this hanging on the tail of the bug, and there was a big cyan bell inside. Centipede, when it crawls and rings the bell, it will make a sound like a whisper. The sound is like a ghost, and it seems to have mysterious power. We were almost fascinated by the sound at that time. Only in the water can you be considered awake." Wu Xie looked at the bell on the coral tree and said in a daze. "However, if I were to identify it now, I'm not sure, because the corpse cave was the same as it is now, with only a few miner's lamps for lighting. The bell was trampled to pieces by Pan Zi not long after it was taken down. It took two Relative comparison is no longer possible, I can only take a rough look.”

Mengli, who was by Aning's side, walked to the coral tree at this time, stared at the bell on it, and said in a flat voice, "The specification and pattern of this bell are very similar to the one in the corpse cave. If the fat man touched the bell just now, we would all lose our minds."

The little brother took a deep look at Mengli and said, "There must be something strange in the corpse cave. The corpse site was originally a huge tomb, but I don't know how it has something to do with Wang Zanghai."

Fatty heard them talk about it, knew the origin of the bell, and wondered: "Did you read it wrong? It's a bit too coincidental why this thing from before the Warring States period appeared here again. Could it be that Wang Zanghai is also A grave robber?"

As soon as he said this, Wu Xie and the younger brother were stunned for a moment.

"In this way, there is a possibility," the little brother thought for a while, and said, "No one knows what he did in his early years, and he is proficient in wind and water. If he robs tombs, he should be able to handle it with ease. However, I remember that his family background is relatively Prominent, their family has been Feng Shui masters for generations, and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, so they will never do such a lowly job.”

The little brother didn't change his face when he talked about being mean, as if he didn't realize that he scolded a few people present.

The corner of Mengli's mouth twitched, this brain is hopeless.If you have to pull yourself in, don't pull us in!

Wu Xie said: "I don't think it's possible. Those who fight against each other will definitely leave some kind of mark in their tombs, so that future generations will have something to avoid when they come here. Have you seen such things here?"

The little brother shook his head, "I paid attention to it just now, and there is indeed no sign at all."

Wu Xie thought, my little brother's attainments in this area are unfathomable, and if he said no, it must be true, and said: "Then why does this explain that there is such a thing here? Could it be that he himself is like an antique, and put Are you also burying your beloved collection with you?"

"We came all the way, and we didn't see any other antiques. What you said is not right. I think it may be another situation." The fat man seemed to think of something, with a smug expression on his face, "Actually, apart from the inverted ones, there are also Another kind of people often come across ancient tombs, do you know what it is?"

Wu Xie woke up immediately after hearing this: "You mean, he dug these things on the construction site while he was working on the project?"

Fatty nodded: "This man was the biggest foreman at the time, and he might encounter such a situation. Just go back and check the information, and you will know whether he has been to the Guazi Temple in Shandong at that time."

The fat man's statement was reasonable, and Wu Xie couldn't help admiring him, but this thing must not be touched. Wu Xie guessed that it was because of touching this coral tree that A Ning became insane when so many bells rang together. I don't know what kind of scene these bells created in her brain, it will have such a powerful effect.

People are easy to be hinted at first, but now in such an ancient tomb, the atmosphere is mysterious, and if the nerves are a little weaker, he will go crazy. Wu Xie thinks that even my brother's amnesia may be caused by these things. Because the lanyards of these bells are precisely tied to the coral tree with copper wires, the coral has holes in it, and the sound transmission is excellent. This thing is placed here, like a musical instrument, and the sound can be tens of millions There is no guarantee that one of them will make people forget everything.

However, Wu Xie's thoughts were a bit unconstrained, and he was embarrassed to say them out. They stood there for a moment, and the fat man said, "It seems that there are only so many tricks at the bottom of the cave, and the strange thing is still on these bells, why not? "

Wu Xie saw that there were no ghosts and ghosts in this cave, and he felt a lot more relaxed. It doesn't matter if he walks or not now, but looking at the watch, the time for low tide is coming soon, so it's meaningless to stay here.

Mengli wanted to carry Ah Ning on her back again, but was stopped by the fat man: "Alas, sister, let me come! I was a little anxious just now, thank you for your hard work." The fat man smiled awkwardly.

Mengli glanced at Aning, withdrew her hand, and said, "Nothing, not tired."

The little brother looked at them, and at the moment Mengli looked at him, he looked away, the seed of doubt in his heart was breaking through the ground.

On the way back, the five people had their own thoughts, but no one noticed what Mengli was holding in her hand.

As Wu Xie walked and thought, there were still two questions in his mind. The first was that when my younger brother entered this wall hole 20 years ago, he was introduced by his third uncle. Where are the people who fainted with him now?Did the third uncle ship them out?

The second is that when the little brother went in, he smelled a very peculiar fragrance, but now it is gone. Does this mean that there might be something else in this hole 20 years ago?

These answers can only be known when the third uncle is found.

And the third uncle disappeared again. If you want to find him, you don't know the year of the monkey. Maybe he won't show up anymore. These questions will become mysteries through the ages.

If it is true what the fat man said, the third uncle was haunted by the ghosts in the tomb, where would he go? When he saw the photo of the younger brother, he said "I understand", did he understand? what?

Thinking about it, Wu Xie felt that something was missing in the whole thing, as long as he was given a little more clue, he could connect everything.But his intuition told him that this thing should be related to Lu Palace.

The five people had already walked out of the short hole. The fat man put Aning on the ground and said, "It should be almost time now. We should do something anyway."

Wu Xie thought that the matter of fleeing was still the first priority, so he withdrew his mind and began to explain the matter, because he had never really opened the top of the Ming Tomb, so he didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he could only take one step at a time.

After finishing speaking, several people acted according to the plan. The fat man held back his energy for a long time, picked up the tool and chiseled it on a pillar, but he underestimated the texture of the golden nanmu, and after a few times, he was already out of breath. No, but he chopped off a little bit of the pillar.

He saw something was wrong, and said: "Wu Xie, this pillar is too strong, if you do it like this, the ladder won't stand up for a week."

Wu Xie said: "Don't worry, as long as you chop off the outermost layer, the inside will be easy to deal with."

The fat man was half-believing, and with a [-]-point effort, he barely managed to improve. After a few strokes, the fat man had already pushed aside the iron-like wooden layer outside, and took out a space that could hold a foot.

Now Wu Xie knew that the hole was a dead end, and the seawater could only leak down through the cracks in the bricks when it came in. There was no need to worry about a vortex, so he picked up the guy and went to help the fat man. Fatty did it, not to mention his strength, but his stamina is not bad. After tossing all the way, he was alive and well, without any fatigue.Wu Xie was a little beside him, and at the same time, he was so tired that he could barely lift his hands.

A few people worked in the dark, and after three hours, they finally built a foot hole on a pillar. The bottom part was easy to handle, but up to the top, it took a lot of strength to climb up by stepping on it, hanging in mid-air. It didn't work, and in the end, Qianqian only made a mark that could be put in a forefoot, but no matter what, they got it done.

The fat man asked urgently: "Wu Xie, what should I do next?"

"Take off your clothes." Wu Xie said as he took off his clothes, the fat man hesitated for a few seconds, and quietly asked Wu Xie, "Your sister is still here, is it really okay for us to take off your clothes?"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look back."

Fatty looked back, and saw Mengli was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, her eyes were like evaluation.

The fat man stopped talking, and silently turned around to take off his clothes.Mengli said on the side: "Do you want me to donate a sleeve?"

Wu Xie twitched the corner of her mouth: "No need, we have enough."

Because they are all diving clothes, they are very elastic, so they were simply cut into pieces and tied into a rope, and made a noose like a Mexican tree climber, and circled around this pillar. Wu Xie thought it would be long enough. Yes, who knows, all three of them took off their pants and clothes, and only their pants are left, which is still a bit short.

Wu Xie looked at Mengli in embarrassment.

Meng Li made a gesture to take off her swimsuit, Wu Xie hurriedly said, "Meng Li, what are you doing?" The little brother looked back and frowned.

Meng Li gave Wu Xie a blank look, and continued to take it off. After taking it off, Wu Xie discovered that she was wearing a black vest underneath.

With Mengli's clothes, it was just long enough.Three people stretched the rope straight in three directions, and climbed up.

I don't know how I climbed up this way. Every time I went up, I felt like I was dying. The fat man cried out tiredly: "What are you two doing, I can go up and dig. Anyway, you can float when the water comes down. , Now this leather rope is about to buckle me into Dongpo meat, Xiao Wu, you better get down for me, or I won't be able to stand it anymore."

Wu Xie said: "You think I want to go up, but I haven't seen the actual situation, and I don't want you to die. I don't know if there is a mezzanine on it. If there is, you go down alone, and the quicksand will directly destroy the whole room. Buried."

That's true. The quicksand layer in the tomb wall is the most common anti-tomb robbery measure. As I said before, it is more effective. If you want to enter a large tomb with quicksand layer smoothly, you must open it when you go down to the robbery hole. A manhole is used to release the quicksand first, and sometimes it takes days and nights to empty a wall, which shows that the amount of quicksand is astonishing.We don't have this condition now, if we really encounter this kind of tomb, we have to find another way.

It's even worse if it's not quicksand but strong acid or kerosene.

The fat man fell down a lot, so he naturally knew that what Wu Xie said was true, so he waved his hand to signal that he should climb up.

Several people gritted their teeth, and it took another half an hour to reach the top. After the fat man stood still, he was almost exhausted, holding the pillar without moving, and said: "Damn, if you want to torture me like this again, I will It’s back in place.”

Wu Xie asked him to take a breath first, and he had to rely on him to dig the bricks later. He knocked on the top of the treasure carefully and tentatively. The little brother motioned him not to stop, pressed his finger on the top, felt it, and said: .”

After the fat man heard this, he didn't dare to take a break. Without saying a word, he began to chisel the white plaster on the top. He didn't dare to use too much force, because after all, the rope was not strong, and if it broke, everyone would be seriously injured. .

Both Wu Xie and the little brother stretched out their hands and put them on his shoulders. If the rope were to break, they could still pull him, so as not to fall directly from a height of ten meters.But he was greasy and sweating, probably he was going to fall, and he couldn't catch it.

The fat man chiselled a few times, and said loudly, "Wu Xie, come and have a look."

Mengli didn't go up, so she could only look at it from a distance below, and stared at Aning by the way.

All I know is that after Wu Xie saw it, the three of them glanced at each other, their expressions were very ugly.

Mengli knew that things were not going well, so she asked symbolically, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie glanced at her and said, "These bricks are sealed with iron paste."

After the bricks are poured to death with iron grout, it will be the same as the reinforced concrete now. Even if you give you a big hammer on the flat ground, it will not help, let alone the current situation.And above this, there are at least seven layers of this structure, and they are intertwined with each other. It is absolutely impossible to dig here without modern equipment.

The fat man looked at Wu Xie and asked, "Comrade architect, what should we do now? Give me an idea."

"Then what can I do, a dead horse is a living horse, and I will copy the guy first." Wu Xie still wanted to try his luck, and said, "It has been more than 200 years, and I don't believe it is still so strong."

Seeing that Wu Xie didn't panic too much, the fat man thought the problem was not too serious, so he went to knock on those bricks. The hollow bricks were easy to break, but after the bricks were broken, the iron bars formed by the solidified iron slurry were still there, and the fat man was very strong. When he hit it, he only made a few marks on it. He knew something was wrong at a glance, and said, "No way, this iron sliver is as thick as a palm, and you may not be able to break through it even if you liberate the truck at a large scale. .”

Wu Xie also knocked a few times, his jaw was numb, knowing that this is indeed not something that can be handled by brute force, he couldn't help being discouraged, "It seems that we have underestimated the ancient construction technology, this iron bar is of high purity, it is impossible to smash it. Do not move."

The fat man said: "If you don't grind it to see, the ancients said that as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."

"Pull it down, you have such a thick iron sliver, you grind it until the year of the monkey," Wu Xie said, "The tide will ebb in 10 minutes, and when you finish grinding, we will be consummated long ago."

The fat man became angry, "Then what do you say? Didn't you hear that Aning said? This area will soon have a windy season, which will last at least a week. We can't go out now, so we can only stay here for seven days. He emphasized emphatically, "Seven days, we're not suffocated, we're starved to death."

"Stop arguing!" Meng Li frowned and said, "The most important thing now is how to get out, what's the use of talking about it."

Wu Xie also knew the seriousness of the problem, and said to them: "You have much more experience in this field than I do. If you encounter this kind of tomb wall in normal times, what method would you use?"

Without even thinking about it, the fat man and the little brother said together: "Dynamite!"

The fat man stared blankly at Wu Xie, and explained: "Don't be surprised, this kind of wall is stronger than you can imagine. I used to pour this kind of bucket, and the holes were usually opened on the bottom. The only way to get in there is to use explosives."

But Wu Xie felt very sad when he heard it. He also knew what the fat man said, but in these hundreds of years of ancient tombs, where did he go to get explosives?Thinking about it, I can’t help regretting it. I still remember that before going into the water, Aning asked him if he wanted to take some down. At that time, he was stunned by the bombing in the Lu Palace, and he was very resistant to this thing, so he just threw it away. Back to the warehouse, if the third uncle was there at the time, he would definitely take it with him.

Thinking about it now, the idea at that time was too naive. If there is a next time, it must not be such a joke.

Wu Xie saw that it was hopeless to go out from above, so he had to give up: "It seems that this method will not work, and we have to think about it in the long run."

"How long is it? We only have 10 minutes to get there?" The fat man said, "I think, if it's really not possible, we will go back the same way, maybe the tomb where our diving equipment is placed has already returned. gone."

Wu Xie nodded, although he really didn't want to enter the robbery cave again, but there was no other way now.In this way, it is really a headache to face the monster in the robbery cave again.

At this time, the little brother suddenly said: "Wait! You stay here and don't move! I thought there might be explosives in one place!"

Before they could react, the little brother suddenly let go of the rope and slid down the pillar.

The fat man looked at Wu Xie with a puzzled expression on his face. Wu Xie shook his head at him, expressing that he didn't understand either.

The little brother has a serious personality, and it is impossible to joke, but he really can't think of where there will be explosives. He has stripped off like them now, and only a pair of pants is left, so it is impossible to hide it somewhere.

Wu Xie stared at him, and saw that he jumped onto the Tiangong stone plate in the middle of the room with a flying body. Following his flashlight, he saw him squatting in front of a meditating mummy in the center of the stone plate, non-stop touching something.

This corpse should be the golden body he said, but he didn't know what he was looking for there, Wu Xie thought, suddenly, he felt a sigh in his heart, it turned out to be like this!

At this time, the little brother had already carefully lifted up the whole mummy. The dried corpse was almost only the weight of the bones, and it didn't take much effort. The fat man asked, "What the hell is he doing?"

Wu Xie said: "I'm just guessing that there may be a mechanism inside the dried corpse, fired by the eight-treasure rotor, and there may be explosives in it. If you are disrespectful to the corpse and want to take the treasure from the corpse, it may directly detonate."

The fat man was speechless: "How could he know such a thing?"

"When he touched this corpse 20 years ago, he may have known it at that time. You see, he just said 'maybe' just now, which means he is not sure." Wu Xie said: "I just don't know. The hundred-year-old dynamite doesn’t work.”

As Wu Xie said, the little brother had already moved the mummy under the pillar, and said to the top, "Come down and help."

Wu Xie saw that it was too troublesome for the fat man to go down, so he let him stay and climb down by himself.

Mengli turned her head to look at Aning, who was still in a daze, and squinted her eyes: "A Ning, I hope you don't let me down..." Smart people don't need to speak too clearly.

When looking at them again, Wu Xie had already climbed to the top.

Although the fat man has read countless corpses, he also showed an uncomfortable expression after seeing this corpse. After all, when you hang the corpse with the corpse rope, there are still two or three punches away. Now it is like jumping on the face Like dancing, it must feel uncomfortable.

Wu Xie bit the bullet, and said to him: "You fix this on the top of the treasure, and then come down immediately, we will detonate it below, if the mechanism inside can still work, there should be no problem."

The fat man looked at Baoding and said, "Are you bluffing me? How the hell am I fixed? Do you want me to learn how to blow up bunkers?"

As soon as Wu Xie raised his head, there was no place to hang on the top of the treasure. If he wanted to exert the full force of the explosion, he had to stick the whole body tightly to the top of the treasure. This was indeed a problem.

Mengli could see clearly from a distance, and said, "Tie it upside down to this pillar, hurry up, the time is almost up."

The fat man took the corpse carefully, shook it, and asked, "Hey, that's strange, why does this corpse have a tail?"
