Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 82 Contents of the Double Wall Mural

The surroundings are scary, and the wind lanterns have been raised to the side of the rock wall to strengthen the lighting. The dim light shines on the rocks, giving people an ancient and mysterious feeling.

The color of the mural is very bright, with a lot of blood-like red. Under the uncertain light source, it flashes the brilliance of glass, as if the whole rock is oozing blood. The mural hidden under another layer of paint can be preserved so well. Well, that's incredible.

However, what really surprised Mengli and the others was the content of the mural.

Mengli knew the contents of the murals, but she had never seen such a shocking mural.

Monk Hua's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "This should be the scene of the war between Emperor Wannu of Eastern Xia and the Mongols. You, this person should be King Wannu himself. This is probably It is said that the war in the Middle East where Xia destroyed the country."

Wu Xie and the others knew very little about Dongxia, but Mengli was very proficient, not only because she came from another world, but also because of the family's training.She didn't speak, just listened to Monk Hua continue.

Monk Hua was amazed, looking at the pattern on it, pointing to a large number of soldiers in armourskin and armor on one side of the mural, and said: "This is the army of King Wannu." Pointing to the cavalry on the other side, he said : "This is the Mongol army. You see, the number is far greater than that of the Eastern Xia army. This is an overwhelming war."

Wu Xie looked at the direction he pointed, and saw the scene of flying arrows and stones. The fat man looked at it, and felt strange there, and asked, "Why do those people in Dongxia's army look like girls?"

Wu Xie also felt strange looking at it. Could it be that Dongxia people rely on women to fight?It would be unreasonable not to subjugate the country.

Monk Hua shook his head and said, "No, this is a characteristic of Dongxia murals..."

Monk Hua stopped suddenly, and the fat man asked violently: "And then? You half-talk, you want to die of anxiety!"

Monk Hua scratched his head, frowned, and thought carefully, but couldn't remember, as if his memory had been cut off suddenly: "I... can't remember..."

"What?!" Fatty was anxious, "Are you reliable? Why can't you remember?!"

Even Chen Pi Asi frowned, he asked in a deep voice: "Can't remember?"

"Yes," Monk Hua replied, "It's like the memory was cut off suddenly..."

It was as if the memory had been cut off suddenly... The younger brother looked at Monk Hua, his eyes darkened involuntarily.

Chen Pi Asi looked at the pensive Meng Li, and asked, "Meng girl, what do you think?"

Mengli remembered that this part was not in the original plot, could it be that she was fanned by this butterfly?This is the first time she has the consciousness of a time traveler.

Mengli heard Chen Pi Asi's question and shook her head: "I don't know what's going on, but I also know the content of the mural."

"Then why do those people in Dongxia's army look like women? Could it be that Dongxia people rely on women to fight?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

"This is a feature of the Dongxia murals. You can see that all the people are very handsome. Some allusions also describe some strange phenomena. It seems that all the people who deal with the Dongxia Kingdom say that they met in the Dongxia Kingdom. Everyone is very young, except for the elderly. The Koreans say that people in Dongzhen maintain a youthful appearance even when they die." Meng Li pointed to the portraits on the murals and replied seriously.

The fat man frowned, as if he couldn't figure out why this happened. Wu Xie felt that this might have something to do with the customs of some minority classics. In some ethnic groups, the elderly are not allowed to see guests. He didn't care, and continued to read with others.

Mengli pointed to the second part of the mural again, and said: "This one soon recorded the battle situation. The Dongxia people were one against three, and they were shot to death by the Mongols one after another. This war finally turned into a massacre. .”

A lot of red was used in the murals to express the brutality of the war, which has a strong sense of substitution. Wu Xie seemed to see batches of Eastern Xia soldiers lying in a pool of blood. Mongolian cavalry stepped over their corpses and began to burn houses and houses. Kill men.

The third part of the mural was pressed behind a huge stone. Wu Xie and the others couldn't move it away, but it is estimated that it should also be a continuation of the content here.

At this time, Wu Xie felt puzzled, and said: "No, the country of Dongxia was not destroyed by the Mongols a long time ago. Wu Xie read the information and said that they have only existed for more than 70 years and have been fighting again. If we say that Yunding Tiangong They built it, and under the circumstances at the time, how could such a small country be able to build such a large-scale mausoleum?"

As soon as Wu Xie said this, many people showed signs of agreement.

Meng Li smiled, and said: "The regime of Dongxia Kingdom has always existed, but they have retreated to the depths of the mountains, and they don't know what to rely on for hundreds of years. This extremely weak regime is extremely strong on one side. Mongolia and Koryo, which was eyeing a tiger, survived. According to the records of Goryeo, until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there were ginseng collectors who saw people wearing strange clothes in the snow-capped mountains here. I think it should be Dong Some of the remaining residents of Xia Kingdom."

Meng Li paused, and then said: "After the decisive battle with Mongolia, the Eastern Xia Kingdom retreated to the border of Jilin and North Korea. It has existed in secret for hundreds of years. There have been fourteen emperors in total. Mongolia and Korea have met each other more than once. I wanted to destroy this small country, but for a strange reason, all of them failed."

Wu Xie and his group set their sights on Mengli.

"Why?" Wu Xie asked.

Mengli smiled lightly: "You have to ask Si Grandpa about this."

Chen Pi Asi flashed his scrutinizing gaze, and said with a smirk, "Young girl Meng knows my purpose!" Then she shook her head, and sighed like an old man, "I'm really old... Monk, Just tell them."

Monk Hua agreed, turned his head and smiled at Wu Xie and the others: "I know what you are doubting, I dare say you are all wrong, most of the information you have seen about Dongxia is based on some incomplete Inferred from ancient books, in fact, there are too few materials left by the Eastern Xia Kingdom. In foreign countries, it is not even recognized that such a country existed, so how much of the information you see now is actually true. Hard to say."

The fat man said, "If that's the case, why do you say that your information is correct?"

Monk Hua said: "That's right, because our information is more direct." He took out a piece of white cuckoo from his close-fitting clothes pocket, and unfolded it in front of Wu Xie and the others.

Wu Xie couldn't help but thump in his heart when he saw it.That turned out to be the snake-browed copper fish at the auction!How could it be in their hands? Didn't it mean that no one bought it?

Wu Xie frowned, suddenly realizing something.Since no one bought it, and the fish was in Chen Pi's hands, so could it be?Is Chen Pi Ah Si the seller of this fish?

Wu Xie trembled all over, trying her best to stabilize her body, so as not to show an overly surprised expression.But my heart was already in a mess, countless questions exploded in my mind, and I didn't know whether I felt fear or excitement for a while, I just felt that my hands and feet were suddenly cold, as if I lost blood.

Wu Xie, you will eventually mature, but you must not lose your innocence... Mengli noticed Wu Xie's expression, and secretly thought, I hope I can protect your innocence...

Monk Hua didn't pay attention to Wu Xie's expression, and continued: "This copper fish is a special shape of a dragon. It was obtained by our old man by chance. I believe that it should be someone who knows the domestic situation of Dongxia. The strange thing is that he hid a piece of top-secret information on this copper fish through a very clever means, you see."

He put the copper fish on one side of the lantern, and the gold-plated fish scales reflected the golden light, shooting many thin spots of light on the mural. When Monk Hua turned the fish, the spots began to change, and gradually, they turned into several Text style blobs.

"The secret is here. There are a total of 47 Jurchen characters hidden in the fish's scales,"

Wu Xie sighed in his heart, thinking that he still had this kind of skill, pinched the other two copper fish in his mouth belt, and asked him a little tremblingly: "Is... what is it about?"

"Because the above information is not complete, I haven't deciphered all of it, but I can be sure that the person who made this fish wanted to record certain things so that others would not find out. Here, the real Dong Xia History." Monk Hua said proudly, "Actually, long before I saw this thing, based on many clues, I also deduced something, just like Miss Meng said, the regime of Dongxia Kingdom has indeed been keeping it."

Monk Hua pointed to the copper fish again, and said: "As for the fact that Mongolia and Korea tried to destroy this small country more than once, but all failed due to a strange reason, the information on the fish is not complete, and it must be There are other things that record other parts, but based on the words in my hand, I dare say that Dongxia Kingdom can survive, and there may be very bizarre things that happened, and there is no content behind it. We have been looking for , but it is a pity that our old man has been searching for many years, but has not found other parts."

He paused, and then said, "Do you know what the last sentence of these Jurchen characters mean?"

Wu Xiexin said of course he didn't know, Ye Cheng took it and asked, "What?"

Monk Hua looked at Wu Xie and the others, and said, "The above said that all slave kings in the past were not human beings."

"It's not a person, what is that?" said the fat man.

Monk Hua put away the copper fish: "The above said that they are all monsters crawling out of the ground!"

no?Wu Xie thought to himself, everyone looked at each other, probably feeling a little nervous.

Meng Li couldn't help but sneer, Wan Nu Wang...

Ye Cheng asked: "That can't be said that way. Could it be a metaphor that the emperor is a dragon, not a human?"

"I originally thought he was referring to the metaphor of the real dragon emperor, but after researching, I found that this person probably just wanted to record some secrets, and the historical records of Dongxia are more objective, so he probably wouldn't use such respectful language. , and, if it is what you said, do you think that someone will express the concept that the emperor is a real dragon emperor in this way? Just imagine, if you congratulate the emperor on his birthday, you first say, Your Majesty, you You’re really not human, I’m afraid you’ll be hacked before the second sentence comes out. No one would write that.” Monk Hua smiled mysteriously: “Besides, the latter sentence is written very clearly and very abruptly, I’ve always cared about it , if you can get the other part, maybe you can decipher what it means.”

The fat man, the little brother, and Mengli all knew that the two copper fishes in Wu Xie's hands were actually in Wu Xie's hands, but they were cautious, so they didn't make a sound. Wu Xie grabbed the copper fish in his pocket and suddenly felt that they had become heavy. stand up.

For a while, Wu Xie didn't know whether he should take out these two fish. In fact, these two fish are not interesting to me. Wu Xie doesn't know Jurchen characters, and he can't understand them even if I show them to him, but If it was handed over to them, Wu Xie felt very inappropriate.

Pan Zi stared at the mural, and said to himself, the man on the mural might be the Wannu King. He looked like a human being, and he didn’t seem to be a monster. The fat man patted him, and said to Monk Hua, “Brother Scar, I said What are you trying to decipher, we are real people, don’t engage in intellectual tricks, when the coffin is opened, it will be clear whether it is a human or a dog.”

Monk Hua smiled and said, "I mean, it's always better to know yourself and your enemy."

"However, why did the person who painted this mural paint these things here?" The fat man asked, "Do you not forget the hatred of the country and the family?"

Monk Hua shook his head, obviously not sure, Wu Xie thought for a while, and said: "Maybe he wants to pick the whole stone after painting the mural here, or simply paint it to pass the time. Look here Warm, maybe the craftsmen at that time used it to rest."

No one was persuaded by Wu Xie, Monk Hua began to take pictures of these things for reference.

Mengli and the others had had enough rest, their spirits gradually recovered, and they began to take turns to rest. Chen Pi Asi asked his people to go out and stay outside in turn, and if the snow stopped, they would climb in and call them, and they began to take turns to sleep.

When Wu Xie woke up, Shunzi had already come to his senses, and kept apologizing to Wu Xie and the others, but the fat man was lazy to talk to him, but Wu Xie gave him something to eat and let him have a good rest. He went on.

There is no rotation of the sun and the moon inside, and I don’t know how long it took, probably two to three days, the snow finally stopped, Mengli and the others climbed out of this crack one after another, the outside has cleared up, and there is a vast sky everywhere. white world.

After reorganizing the equipment, I found that they had eaten too much in the past few days. It is estimated that there is no supply, and they will run out of food before they reach the place they want to go.Ask Shunzi if there is any way, he said that there is really no way above the snow line, or just go back and come back, or distribute food, try to eat as little as possible.

In the gap, Chen Pi Asi taught Wu Xie and the others a lot of tricks on the snowy mountains, such as using sanitary napkins as insoles, which can absorb sweat from the feet, keep the feet dry, and warm the whole body. According to his method, it is really good , but Wu Xie himself felt very awkward, thinking that if he entered the ancient tomb, he would throw away these things. After a few years, the archaeological team found out what his expression was when he saw such things beside the coffin.

If Mengli knew what Wu Xie was thinking, she would definitely burst out laughing. Wu Xie is so innocent, he is like a piece of white paper, making people want to dye him black and paint him in different colors.

This is exactly what makes him sad...

Mengli and the others climbed up and down the steep slope with ropes, and there were many new horseshoe marks on the ground. The fat man squatted down and looked at it, and said, "Then Aning and his gang seem to have surpassed us, so run ahead of us." gone."

Without saying a word, Mengli and the others put on their goggles and set off immediately. Two hours later, Mengli and the others saw Aning's team on a hillside. They obviously suffered a very big loss. Thirty people only There were twenty or so horses left, and only half the number of horses, and there was still no sign of the third uncle among them.

Mengli and the others lurked quietly and observed Aning and the others. Wu Xie saw that Aning was staring in one direction with a telescope, and also looked in the direction she was looking at, and suddenly his eyelids twitched.

In the distance, I don’t know whether it’s snow or clouds, a snow-covered mountain stands majestically, it is connected with other mountains, and it is very abrupt. That is the one that Wu Xie saw in the tomb under the sea. The mountain peak, its shape, is almost exactly the same as in the movie.

"This is it!" Wu Xie thought to himself, pointing at the mountain, turned to Shunzi and asked, "What kind of mountain is there? How can I get there?"

Shunzi set up a pergola with his hands, looked at it, and changed his face: "Where are you going? You can't go there!"

I wish all the cuties in the high school entrance examination all the best (?ò?ó?)

I also hope that my brother can pass the exam (?▽?)
