Tomb Raider System of Myriad Realms

Chapter 70 Exploring the Tomb
"Master, that black shadow shot the crows one after another and went deep. Shall we chase them in?" The Crow Queen asked worriedly.

"Since we've arrived here, let's meet him for a while to see if he's a man or a ghost. Since he's going inside, let him lead the way in front, just in time for us to walk through the landmines." Zhang Qiling thought about it.

"Owner……"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiling was about to leave when he looked back at the Crow Queen who was about to speak.

"That guy seems to have a sharp weapon like a crossbow in his hand! He can shoot three arrows in a row!"

"Crossbow? Fired three arrows in a row? Could it be the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?" No wonder the crow exploring the path was killed as soon as it flew in, and after he and the crow queen came in, the rubber boat was quickly overturned.It turns out that the opponent has such a magical weapon in his hand!

But how can the crow, him and the queen be seen clearly in the dark?Zhang Qiling was a little puzzled again.

"No matter what he is holding, let's go in first and then talk about it! Crow Queen, you must be careful when following me."

"Well, good, the Raven Queen listens to the master."

Zhang Qiling took out the Luoyang shovel from the system and kept it in his hand. He thought to himself, just now, under the unknown circumstances, the opponent had sniped secretly and failed to dodge it. But this time in a head-on confrontation, with his own speed, most people are no match.

"Which opening is he entering?"

"That." The crow queen quickly pointed to one of the holes. Although there were many crows that entered just now, with the perception ability of the crow queen, she could clearly perceive the trajectory of each crow, and she was safe.

The opponent can use the favorable terrain here to attack them, and perhaps knows the correct way to enter the tomb.

You can find the approximate location of the tomb by entering the word "grave" through the Jiugongge compass. Because you don't know the name of the owner of the tomb, the Jiugongge compass cannot "navigate" in detail, so you can only rely on your own ability.

Zhang Qiling thought for a while, and decided to follow Sombra's footsteps. At least the place this guy walked was explored, and it was relatively safe.

Entering the cave, because the outside is next to the water, the walls inside the cave are as slippery as oil.I don't know what will happen if the main tomb is mentioned earlier.

When the owner of the tomb chooses the tomb, he will always consider drainage, and it is impossible to put the coffin in a humid place.If drainage is not considered, the method of hanging the coffin must be adopted, and the coffin is suspended in the air with chains such as copper and iron to prevent the coffin from becoming moldy and rotting when it encounters water.

Who will be the owner of this tomb?If the tomb can be chosen here, if it is not the appearance of an emperor, at least it must be a prince and a king.

I don't know how long I walked along the slippery cave zigzagging, and I encountered shot dead crows from time to time, which made Zhang Qiling and the Queen of Crows very distressed.

Zhang Qiling was just wondering why the entrance of this cave was so long, but found that there was a pavement of green bricks in front of him, and he was overjoyed. There were blue bricks, which showed that the tomb was not far away!
The two quickened their pace, walked forward for a while, and left the difficult road, the space in front of them suddenly opened up.

"Crow Queen, what are the movements of that black figure?"

The Crow Queen looked at the last crow that died at the entrance of the cave, and said solemnly: "The crows have been completely wiped out, and the black shadows detected it and disappeared."

Zhang Qiling reached out and shook the Crow Queen's shoulder to express comfort: "Now that we're here, it's a lot easier. Let's find a way ourselves!"

Although the ground paved with green bricks in front of me is much more tidy, it is still extremely damp, and the gaps between the green bricks are covered with moss. I took a photo with a flashlight, as if someone had drawn a green edge on the green bricks with a pen.Reaching out to wipe the moss, the gloves were quickly soaked.

"What's the matter, Master?" The Crow Queen couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhang Qiling squatting down and thinking.

"It's so humid, I don't know what will happen to the tomb in front? Could it be a water burial?"

"What is water burial?"

"Water burial is a relatively ancient burial method. It is about throwing the body of the deceased into rivers, lakes and seas. Generally, there are corpse-floating, river-throwing, and ashes-sprinkling. However, there are also burials that combine burial with water, which is the hanging coffin in water. .”

"Isn't everyone paying attention to 'burying in the ground for peace'? Why do you need to be buried in water? How can you drink a good water source if it is polluted by corpses?" The Crow Queen asked puzzled.

"What you said is also reasonable. But people generally believe that water is the source of human life, so it can be associated with happiness, beauty, immortality, etc., isn't there a saying called "hushu does not worm, flowing water does not rot" Is it? Water burial is practiced because people believe that they will not decay and can continue to be reincarnated. People have infinite yearning and reverie for water, and even when they die, they think of water burial."

"There is water outside, so the owner said that the owner of this tomb was buried in water?"

"It may also be a combination of water burial and burial. When we enter the main tomb, everything will be clear. Now that we enter the blue brick underground palace, the main tomb should be not far ahead."

The two walked forward while talking, and suddenly there was an extra wall in front of them blocking the way.Zhang Qiling tapped on the wall with the Luoyang shovel in his hand, making a muffled sound of "dong dong", obviously the wall is very solid.

The walls are also covered with moss, clearly outlining the green bricks.Stretch out your hand and wipe it on the moss, and you can squeeze out water.However, Zhang Qiling felt a little strange.

I gently scraped off the moss with my fingernails, but found that the joints between the bricks were flat, green, and the same color as the moss.

This……

Use the Luoyang shovel in your hand to scratch at the joints, revealing the yellow metal texture.

It turned out that copper water was poured into the joints of the bricks, which acted as a seal.

There is water outside, but the tomb is sealed with copper water. It seems that this is really a burial method that combines water burial and burial.

Ancient tombs, which can be sealed against moisture and oxidation, are either rich or expensive, and are usually sealed with wax, but this is the first time I have heard of those sealed with copper water.

Zhang Qiling went through the "26-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique" in his mind, but he couldn't find an example of such a method in the tomb, but there was such a sealing method described in the book.

In ancient times, copper and iron were important weapons for making weapons, and they could be sealed with copper water after death. It seems that the owner of the tomb must have been a high-ranking official during his lifetime, and he might have been a military commander. After all, copper and iron are objects of war.

dong dong...

"Master, the wall of this tomb seems to be very solid. Is there a mechanism that can be opened?" The Crow Queen reached out and knocked, and began to check around to see if there was a place where the wall could be opened.

Zhang Qiling smiled appreciatively: "It's true that there is progress. If it is an ordinary stone gate or wall, it may be controlled by an agency. But this kind of wall filled with copper seals is usually directly sealed."

"Oh..." The Crow Queen looked around with the help of the flashlight, and it seemed that there was really no device that could be turned on.

The device to open the tomb is usually disguised as a symbol, pattern or object protruding from the wall.But right now, there are neat blue bricks up, down, front, back, left, and right, without even the slightest protrusion or depression, let alone patterns and objects.

There is no sense of emptiness when you tap the walls and the ground with your hands, which shows that the owner's judgment is correct.
