Tomb Raider: Opening mechanism, automatically stealing the empty bottle mountain

In case the leprosy glands on the backs of these toads are not properly resolved, the venom in the leprosy glands will be mixed into the river water, and they will continue to move forward along the downstream.

This is not a wise choice for Gong Shuyang who still has half the distance left.

After all, who can guarantee that they will stay out of the water in the future?

Gong Shuyang knew that if that thing appeared in the waters ahead, a fierce battle would definitely be inevitable.

Therefore, Gong Shuyang searched in the fossil forest with a light, and soon found a fossil path on the left side of the cave that could bypass these toads.

After hearing Gong Shuyang's decision, Chen Yulou didn't have any opinion, and immediately asked people to prepare to follow Gong Shuyang to move on.

Looking at those giant toads that were as big as wheels and covered with disgusting leprosy glands, Chen Yulou had no choice but to touch them.

Gong Shuyang released the organ beast.Octopus spider, run ahead to explore the way.

Gong Shuyang followed cautiously with his mysterious box.

On the way, Gong Shuyang also carefully instructed everyone to walk lightly and move slowly.

The fossilized trees under their feet have been eroded over millions of years, and they have already become fragile.

This can be seen from the potholes on many fossil trees.

In case a brother accidentally stepped on these fossil trees and fell into the water, he must say hello to the toad not far away.

I just don't know what the price of saying hello will be...

As they walked, Gong Shuyang found that they had reached the edge of the cave.

There is a narrow river bank here. Although it is not wide, it is enough to accommodate more than twenty of them to line up along the river bank.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for everyone.

After all, there is nothing more reassuring than feeling grounded.

Everyone continued along the river bank, and suddenly a raised stone platform appeared in the dark ahead.Hua Ling was the first to see it, and quickly stretched out her finger and said, "Eh? Brother Gongshu, look there!" "There seems to be a platform there!" Gongshuyang and others followed Hualing's point of view, and they all saw what Hualing was pointing at. stone platform.

I saw that this stone platform protrudes more than one meter above the ground. Although the surface is covered with vines and vegetation, it is still difficult to conceal its boxy shape.

Gong Shuyang and Chen Yulou looked at each other and understood each other.

This is obviously a man-made trace!

Everyone rushed to this stone platform, and several brothers volunteered to clean up the vegetation on the stone platform.

Following the neat movements of several brothers, the vegetation on the stone platform was quickly cleared.

Gong Shuyang turned on the lights, and relief murals appeared before everyone's eyes!

There are a large number of relief murals on the stone platform, which are engraved with all aspects of the stone platform.

The composition of these relief murals is also extremely complicated, even somewhat mysterious.

Moreover, I don't know when this stone platform was built, and many traces on the reliefs have been touched by time.

Fortunately, these relief patterns are chiseled first and then ground. The lines are deep and the grooves are smooth. In some places, there are even colored paints that have not come off.

Everyone has hardly seen this kind of relief mural, and they couldn't understand it for a while.

Even the well-informed Chen Yulou and the experienced partridge whistle who came up from behind couldn't understand.

But for Gong Shuyang, it was a rough idea at a glance.

Gong Shuyang handed the mystery box to Hua Ling to hold it, then stretched out his fingers to circle a picture on the mural, and said: "Brother Chen, Brother Zhehushao, look here, does it look like a big gourd hanging upside down?" "Do these branches in this gourd look like the fossil forest we just passed through?" Chen Yulou and the others looked at what Gong Shuyang was pointing at, and after a little association, they quickly confirmed what Gong Shuyang said. "Brother Gongshu, you mean we are now in a gourd-shaped cave?" Gongshuyang nodded.

Chen Yulou was slightly surprised: "No wonder I have always had a strange feeling since I came in. The rock wall of the cave here is like a trumpet shape, and the cave wall is smooth red." "At that time, I felt , could this be the meaning expressed by the big gourd at the entrance of the secret passage?" "I didn't expect that this is really a gourd-shaped cave! It's also a naturally formed gourd cave!" Afterwards, Chen Yulou Pointing to the picture in the gourd, he continued to ask: "Brother Gongshu, do you understand what is expressed here?" The place Chen Yulou pointed to was a rather strange picture.

In this big gourd, a group of people with feathers on their heads are riding in a small boat with a pole in their hands.

And above these poles are hanging big toads tied up with ropes!

The appearance of those big toads is so ferocious and frightening that people can't help but feel terrified at the first sight.

Then these natives with feathers on their heads and hanging toads, led by a leader wearing a horned crown, put the hanging toads into a hole at the front of the gourd hole one by one.

Black air billowed out of the hole, and it was unknown what was inside.

This mural came to an end here, and Gongshuyang and others turned to the other side of the stone platform to continue watching.

But as soon as everyone turned to this side, they were all stunned for a moment!

I saw a black-faced god statue impressively engraved on this relief!

This black-faced statue is tall, with big ears and a high nose, thick hair growing on its face, its brows are erect, its eyes are round, and it holds a skull in its mouth. It looks very intrusive!

And under this black-faced god statue, there are countless big toads with hideous and terrifying faces.

These big toads seemed to know that their lives were about to die, and each of them showed a struggling and sad look.

When this mural is connected with the previous mural, the meaning is obvious.

This black-faced god is the mountain god guarding this mountain, and he lives in the cave of this big gourd.

Those people with feathers on their heads should be the local aborigines. Under the leadership of a wizard wearing a horned crown, they caught a large number of toads to worship the mountain god.

After Zhehushao, Chen Yulou and others saw the two murals, they finally understood everything.

The entrance to the Shinto on the Zhen Mausoleum is marked with a toad, and the entrance to the secret path is marked with a fiery red gourd.

It turned out that it was all because of this black-faced mountain god!

But after thinking about these problems, Chen Yulou and others faced new problems.

This naturally formed gourd-shaped cave obviously has a much earlier history of King Xian's tomb. Why did King Xian set up the secret divine way here?

What exactly is that black-faced mountain god worshiped by the local aborigines?

Chen Yulou considers himself a man of profound knowledge, and he rejects feudal superstition very much.

Therefore, Chen Yulou knew in his heart that this black-faced mountain god could not really be the legendary mountain god.

The most possible possibility is that thousands of years ago, people here who were still in feudal superstition regarded a beast living in this cave as a mountain god guarding the deep mountains.

Examples like this abound throughout the nation's history.

Ancient people liked to regard some magical animals beyond their cognition as gods, and even believed in them.

The most common is to enshrine some boa constrictors, old apes, or spirited raccoons and weasels, etc., as mountain gods.

But what exactly is this black-faced mountain god in front of him, Chen Yulou looked at it for a long time but didn't see why.Chen Yulou had no choice but to ask Xiang Gongshuyang: "Brother Gongshu, do you know what this black-faced mountain god is?"

As for the true face of this "black-faced mountain god", Gong Shuyang has never seen it with his own eyes.

Gong Shuyang's cognition of "it" is only limited to the text information he has read in his previous life.

But even those scenes of text information and the situation described were enough to make Gong Shuyang terrified.

Gong Shuyang still doesn't know what kind of mood he will feel when he really sees that monster.

But at least for now, Gong Shuyang was excited and a little nervous.

As for the true face of this "black-faced mountain god", Gong Shuyang found it difficult to describe that figure.

After thinking about it, Gong Shuyang had no choice but to laugh, and used the saying that "in ancient times people were feudal and superstitious, and if they caught a magical species, they would worship it as a god".

But there is indeed a basis for these remarks, so Chen Yulou did not continue to ask more questions.

On the stone platform in front of everyone, there is the last relief mural that has not been seen before.

Gong Shuyang and Chen Yulou led the crowd to the last side of the stone platform.

When the light was shining upwards, everyone present took a breath of cool air almost at the same time!

The temperature around 840 seems to have dropped by a few points at this moment!

Only the bas-relief in front of him depicts the terrifying black-faced mountain god.

It's just that at this time, he was no longer surrounded by those huge toads, but countless women.

Countless dead women.

Moreover, the postures of these women are very weird. They are all lying flat on the ground, facing up to the sky, with their hands and legs arched behind their backs in an extremely strange arc.

It's like crawling backwards on the ground with this twisted posture!

Chen Yulou noticed that the female corpses on the relief were covered with a thin layer of fuzzy mist, as if emitting fluorescence.

This is exactly the same as the corpse of a dead woman who suddenly appeared and disappeared strangely when he first went down to the cave!After seeing it, Chen Yulou was shocked and said, "Why are these female corpses in such a strange posture? It looks so intrusive!"

"Besides, these female corpses are located at the front of the gourd cave. Could it be that there are more floating female corpses in the river ahead?" Chen Yulou's words caused a moment of panic.

All the brothers were whispering in low voices, whispering to each other.

Chen Yulou was also in shock right now, so he didn't scold those brothers, but looked expectantly at Gong Shuyang, hoping that he would give them an answer that would make them feel at ease.Gong Shuyang frowned suddenly, and said in a low tone: "Judging from the information on these reliefs, this is a place where witchcraft sacrifices are held." Gong Shuyang suddenly returned to the previous mural, pointed at it The picture said: "This gourd cave is probably the only passage leading to the tomb of King Xian."

"And the black-faced mountain god guarding this gourd cave has been the object of worship by the local indigenous people since ancient times."

"After Xian Wang discovered this gourd cave, he followed the local custom and used a (ahbi) witchcraft ritual to worship the mountain god guarding here." "Xian Wang paid tribute to the mountain god, and the mountain god Guard the royal tomb for him." Gong Shuyang pointed to the toads on the mural and said, "These toads may be tributes offered by the local aborigines to the mountain god." Then, Gong Shuyang turned to the other side, pointed to the female corpse on it and said: " And these female corpses are tributes to the mountain gods!" "Hiss!"

Gong Shuyang's astonishing remarks made everyone gasp again!

They still accept the use of toads as sacrifices to mountain gods.

But to use female corpses to sacrifice to the mountain god, and there are still such terrifying female corpses, and there are still so many female corpses!

Even if everyone present knew that King Xian was cruel, vicious and vicious.

Even if they have already seen those who were poisoned by unique techniques.

But this scene is still unacceptable!

There is simply no room for people to think about it.

Especially those who have seen the strange female corpse before, they can't help feeling terrified when they think that there are countless such female corpses thrown into this gourd cave to worship the mountain god!

Several relief murals on the stone platform have been roughly interpreted by Gong Shuyang.

It's just that the information above is too appalling, and it's hard for everyone to digest and accept it for a while.

Many people have undergone some changes in their mentality.

Although Chen Yulou looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil!

Because he noticed a detail that no one noticed!

These relief murals were compiled thousands of years ago!

And not long ago, they saw what was depicted on the mural with their own eyes!

As for the fossil forest and the toad, they can still accept it.

After all, fossils can be preserved no matter how long they are preserved, and toads are a species that can give birth to hundreds of individuals in a litter. It is not a strange thing to reproduce in this environment for thousands of years.

But that floating female corpse has existed for thousands of years!

Let's not think about how that female corpse has existed for thousands of years.

From here alone, Chen Yulou could imagine that the road ahead of them might really be like the scene depicted in the relief mural.Countless strange female corpses are quietly floating on the river...

After thinking about it, Chen Yulou suddenly felt a trace of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and even turning his head became very heavy.

Chen Yulou moved his head with difficulty, looked into the dark depths ahead, and suddenly felt a wave of terror began to linger in his heart.

Gong Shuyang saw the cold sweat oozing from Chen Yulou's forehead, and also saw his uneasiness.Gong Shuyang raised his hand and patted Chen Yulou's shoulder, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "This gourd cave is the last part of the road ahead."

"It doesn't matter what's in front of us, whether it's a black-faced mountain god or a dead woman's corpse."

"It's fine if they avoid us sensibly, but if they ignorantly prevent us from finding the tomb dedicated to the old man..."

"hey-hey……"

Gong Shuyang didn't continue to say more, but made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Everyone understands the meaning of Gong Shuyang.

Gong Shuyang said it with this tone and action, which largely relieved the tension and panic in everyone's hearts.

Chen Yulou laughed a few times when he heard the words, and stopped thinking about it. After taking a look at Gong Shuyang, he told the brothers to prepare to move on.

The rest of the road looks like only half of it from the relief, but in fact there is still a long way to go.
