Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 87

Several people continued to move forward and came to the center of the Linggong Hall. A jade platform appeared in front of it, surrounded by several huge bronze statues with human heads and bird bodies. On the jade platform stood a large black statue. It's not a person, it looks like a twisted pillar covered with lichen, it looks like a huge leech, it looks very strange.

"What is this thing? Isn't there a seated statue of the tomb owner in the Spirit Hall? Does the tomb owner look like this?" The fat man asked Monk Hua in great surprise.

Monk Hua looked at it and said, "This may be the alienated 'Changshengtian' in Eastern Xia religion, their main god."

"This god is too fast." Fatty murmured. "How is it different from a laundry mallet?"

Wu Xie patted the fat man to let him accumulate some virtue. They are still in its territory, so he is not afraid of retribution.

But this weird black totem, Wu Xie knew it wasn't Changshengtian. Although he didn't know much about shamans, he knew that Changshengtian had no image. Changshengtian represented a ubiquitous and infinite power, and it was a kind of cosmic worship. Well, Monk Hua said that either he was flirting with a fat man, or he was trying to cover up his guilty conscience.

The environment here does give people an inexplicable sense of tension, except for Chen Pi A Si who still has that stinky face, only the little brother and Meng Li are extremely calm, and everyone else behaves more or less a little strangely.

But if the place in the spirit hall is not a shrine for worship, then what should be there is the seated statue of the owner of the tomb. Is it really like what the fat man said, the patriarch of the Eastern Xia Dynasty looks like this?impossible?This—this is not in the shape of a human at all. It looks more like the evil gods in Haitian fetishism. Wu Xie thought that when he was watching an exhibition in Shanghai, he had seen it once, and the gods over there were just like that. Crispy rice, like a giant mollusk.

Wu Xie suddenly remembered the record in the copper fish: The Eastern Xia royal family are all monsters dug out of the ground, could it be this thing?No, this thing can be said to be an evildoer, he believes that the Dongxia people will not be so frustrated that they will recognize a piece of crispy rice as the emperor.

It would be great if I could read and know what was recorded in the other two copper fishes.Wu Xie thought, there is no need to guess so hard, I don't know when I will have this opportunity.

They walked around, only to find that there was a bronze monkey with gilt green face and fangs in the mouth of those human-faced birds. Wu Xie and the others were puzzled. It was the Iron Age in the Ming Dynasty, but why it was bronze.The question was also irrelevant, they didn't think much of it.

"It's really strange, there is nothing in this spiritual palace hall! There should be a huge tripod for sacrifices and ever-bright lamps, and there are many funerary objects. This Wannu king is so stingy that even his relatives would I don't want to share something." Fatty saw that there was nothing here, he was surprised and disappointed.

"What? Do you want to start moving the torch right here?" Wu Xie looked at the fat man and said meaningfully.

"Comrade Tianzhen, if you take out a few artifacts from here, then the study of human history will go a step further. I'm all here for archaeology." The fat man said confidently.

Come on, upon hearing this, everyone present knew Fatty's thoughts in their hearts, and they didn't bother to expose him.They continued to walk in, and saw the end of the main hall, where there was another jade gate, made of four pieces of white marble inlaid together, and a hundred-legged dragon made of glaze was coiled on the gate shaft.Several people pried open the door. Behind the door was the corridor leading to the apse of the Linggong Palace, which was completely dark.

Mengli knew that the apse was usually the entrance to the underground palace, and usually there would be a decorative coffin, lit with longevity candles, which would last all year round, or there would be a large number of funerary objects.This entrance is in the apse, but the closer she gets to the apse, it feels wrong, something is wrong.

Mengli looked at the little brother, and saw that the little brother's expression didn't change at all, he just kept walking.

Around the corridor, murals are painted, all of which are centipede dragons coiled in the clouds, coiled up, soaring, and many soldiers in furs bow down to the centipede dragons in the sky.

Although a few people were puzzled, they suspected that it was a two-story mural, but it was not. In the end, they all thought that the Eastern Xia people worshiped the hundred-legged dragon so much that they painted so many murals.

After walking for about 200 meters, the corridor came to the end and the apse arrived.The layout of the apse is almost the same as that of the main hall, but it is much smaller. They can see the murals of centipede dragons on the walls of the surrounding halls.However, in theory, there should be nothing in the apse. Just like the main hall, everyone present felt very strange.There are three black Leiwen panlong stone beds placed horizontally in the middle, which should be the platform for the coffin, after the coffin is brought in, it is placed on it for the time being.

On the ground behind the three stone beds, there is a huge square stone slab protruding. Two human-faced strange birds are engraved on the stone slab, presenting a circle shape. In the middle of the stone slab is embossed a picture of Tai Chi Eight Diagrams.

"This is the tomb-sealing stone, and the entrance to the underground palace is right below," Pan Zi said.

They searched around the apse, but found nothing, and there were no passages around, so they came to the side of the tombstone.

The little brother squatted down and carefully inspected the green brick floor beside the stone slab to seal the tomb, to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.

"At a time like this, look at me, Fatty." The fat man shook his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and then went up to lift it vigorously, without moving.Even the fat man couldn't move it, so it seemed that the tombstone was really heavy, so the fat man called Wu Xie and the little brother to help.

Mengli watched them move the tomb-sealing stone with great force. The strength was not from the cover, and the stone slab was slowly pushed aside by them. Looking down, there was no trace of the entrance to the secret passage under the stone platform, but It is the same green brick as the one on the side.

"Are you kidding me?!" the fat man said out of breath, his face turning even redder.

"What's going on?" Pan Zi looked down there strangely, "Is this tombstone fake? Is it a decoration?"

"Impossible. This is the most basic burial ceremony. You can't play this if you play anything. The entrance must be here." Monk Hua said with certainty.

"If they don't follow the common sense, you can't do anything about them." Meng Li smiled, Wang Zanghai's underwater tomb is not played according to the common sense, if this is not the entrance of the underground palace, it is not surprising.

"Will it be sealed under this layer of blue bricks?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Whatever, anyway, it's rare to go back to the imperial mausoleum, and you'll have to find the entrance after it's demolished," said the fat man.

The little brother squatted down and used his unusually long fingers to once again perform a bare-handed brick-holding for the people present. Monk Hua and Ye Cheng were stunned. I just feel that the two fingers of my little brother are made of steel, which is really omnipotent.

Wu Xie and the others also went up to help, and dug out the bricks with climbing picks. Finally, after digging seven layers of blue bricks, they still didn't see the entrance they expected, but a black double-headed stone turtle was revealed. The pattern on it turned out to be a woman's face.

"What's going on here? Where's the door of the tomb?" In theory, this should be the entrance, but there is actually a stone turtle buried there.Wu Xie thought.

Mengli raised her eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Let's move it out first, let's see what's under the turtle?" In fact, it was already clear at a glance that there was a black rock under the stone turtle, and they had already dug to the bottom of the cave.

"Huh?" Fatty seemed to have discovered something when he was moving the stone tortoise, and when he looked again, he saw that the engineer shovel hanging from Fatty's waist was stuck to the back of the tortoise for some reason.

The fat man broke it out, and as soon as he let go, the engineer shovel was sucked in again.

"This stone turtle has a magnet!" Wu Xie exclaimed in surprise.

The fat man threw a few coins over again, and with a bang, they were sucked firmly, "Wonderful, such a big magnet, the owner of this tomb collects scrap iron?"

Chen Pi Asi heard the movement and came up, Monk Hua reported the situation to him, Chen Pi Asi's face suddenly became ugly, he looked at the stone turtle, took out the compass from his pocket, After seeing it, he threw the compass to the ground angrily, and said coldly, "Damn Wang Zanghai, we were tricked! This funeral tomb is a trap! We fell for it!"

"Old man, what's going on?" Wu Xie and the others were startled by his sudden temper, Monk Hua hurriedly asked what was going on.

"The dragon veins here have been tampered with. These three old dragons are fake, and the direction of the dragon's head is wrong." Chen Pi Asi said.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Mengli knew that it was the stone turtle who had been misleading them, so the spiritual palace they came to now was fake.
