Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

The heavy snow continued to fall, mixed with the sound of the wind, making it almost impossible for everyone to open their eyes. Fatty Wang was afraid that everyone would get separated, so he took out a rope from his backpack and tied everyone together, like a string of gourd dolls.

Everyone could only grope forward by feeling. Suddenly, Fatty Wang, who was walking in front, missed a step and fell into a snow pit.

Fatty Wang yelled in fear, and before anyone could react, he fell down, dragging Wuxie and the others behind him down with him. Everyone rolled down like dumplings being dropped into the water during Chinese New Year.

Everyone slid down the steep slope, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped.

Looking around, they unexpectedly discovered the hot spring that Shunzi mentioned.

Everyone struggled to stand up and move their frozen bodies.

At this moment, a cold wind blew, making Chen Pi's men shiver.

"Ye Cheng, go and notify the people outside to come in, and everyone else should go into the hot spring to warm up their bodies first." Chen Pi ordered.

After entering the hot spring, everyone's bodies gradually regained warmth. After a day of traveling, everyone was already exhausted, and now that they finally found a place to stay, they could rest for a while.

Wu Xie and his companions did not go down to soak in the hot spring like the others, but instead observed the surrounding environment. He felt that this place was indescribably strange.

Bai Mumu suddenly pointed to a place and said, "What is that?"

Zhang Qiling walked to the stone wall that Bai Mumu pointed out and peeled off the layer of snow on it. Looking at the carvings on it, a picture suddenly emerged in his mind.

Wu Xie: "There is a dragon carved on it. Could this be the entrance? Is this a stone gate?"

Chen Pi almost wanted to roll his eyes when listening to Wu Xie's analysis: "You are the descendant of Wu Lao Gou after all, how come you don't even know this little bit of knowledge? This is called 'sealing the stone'. Ancient people often used this method to prevent tomb robbers from entering."

Chen Pi looked disgusted with Wu Xie, but he still did not forget to give him some general knowledge in this area.

Although Wu Xie was a little embarrassed by what he said, he also knew that Fourth Grandpa did have a say in this regard, so he humbly asked for advice.

Wu Xie: "Fourth Grandpa, is this where we are going?"

Chenpi: "No, but this may be related to where we are going."

Wu Xie: "Should we go in then?"

Chenpi: "Move the stone away first and see what's inside."

Chenpi called his men and asked them to move the thing away.

Zhang Qiling: "No need to move, there's nothing underneath."

Fatty Wang: "Empty?"

Zhang Qiling: "Yeah"

Fatty Wang: "That's easy."

Fatty Wang took out a hammer from his equipment and smashed it a few times. Several cracks immediately appeared on the ground. Fatty Wang smashed it twice more, and the cracks broke, and a big hole appeared on the ground.

Chenpi took out a flashlight and shone it inside. The cave was very deep and they could only see a small part of it with the flashlight.

Chen Pi called Lang Feng's men and asked him to take a few people in to take a look. Those people came out safely not long after they went in.

Lang Feng: "Master Si, it's empty inside, but there are many murals on the walls."

Chen Pi: "Well, leave a few people to look after Shunzi and the luggage, and the rest of you follow me in."

Chen Pi led a group of people and slowly crawled into the cave. Just as Lang Feng said, there was nothing inside except the murals on the wall.

When they arrived in front of the mural, they saw some strange scenes and characters depicted on it. Chenpi carefully observed the mural, as if looking for some clues.

"This painting seems to be of the Dongxia Kingdom." Wu Xie suddenly said.

Chen Pi glanced at him and nodded, "It seems we have found the right place."

At this time, Zhang Qiling discovered that the mural seemed to be double-layered. He gently pushed away the surface layer, revealing the content hidden underneath.

"There is a painting underneath..." Zhang Qiling said lightly.

When everyone got closer to take a look, they found that the mural below was even more mysterious and complex, and seemed to tell a story about the Dongxia Kingdom from its founding to its destruction.

"Maybe this is what we are looking for." Chenpi said lightly.

He motioned for Monk Hua to come forward and study the murals to see if he could find any clues to the tomb. Monk Hua carefully observed the murals and explained their meaning to everyone.

Listening to Monk Hua's description, everyone seemed to see pictures before their eyes. They witnessed the rise and fall of the country, and they also became witnesses of history.

Wu Xie: "But this Dongxia Kingdom has only existed for more than 70 years, so what's the meaning of the description below?"

Chenpi: "That's because many things are hidden. How can ordinary people know them?"

Wu Xie asked in confusion: "Hide?"

Chenpi nodded, took out a snake-browed bronze fish from his arms and handed it to Monk Hua.

Wu Xie looked at the snake-browed bronze fish in Chen Pi's hand and was very surprised. It turned out that the second one was in Fourth Grandpa's hands. Could the rest be in An Ning's hands? ? ?

Monk Hua placed the bronze fish with snake brows next to the lamp with a serious look on his face, and then stared at it intently, letting the lamp shine on the bronze fish, and the light from the fine texture of the bronze fish was projected onto the wall. He kept adjusting the angle until the bronze fish reflected a light like words.

Monk Hua explained: "This is the part that has been hidden. What is said here is that after the defeat in the war, they retreated to Changbai Mountain and hid here for hundreds of years."

Chen Pi looked at Wu Xie and said, "Take out the copper fish in your hand."

Wu Xie was a little flustered. How did he know that?

Chen Pi seemed to know what Wu Xie was thinking, and sneered, "Wu Sanxing told me, otherwise why do you think I would bring a burden like you with me?"

Wu Xie was almost mad with anger. Didn’t his Third Uncle feel that he hadn’t been cheated badly enough? Wasn’t he afraid that the Wu family would really be extinct?

Chen Pi was getting impatient. "Hurry up, stop nagging."

Wu Xie reluctantly took out the bronze fish and handed it to Monk Hua.

Monk Hua took the bronze fish and explained while deciphering it. Finally, he pointed to a paragraph of text with some doubt and said, "However, there is a paragraph of text here that describes something very strange?"

Fatty Wang: "Why is it so strange? What does it say?"

Monk Hua continued, "It is said above that the Wannu King of Dongxia is a monster that crawled out from underground. It is a demon. Legend has it that the Wannu Kings of each generation were not hereditary, but crawled out from the underground door after the death of the previous generation. And the underground door can only be opened when the previous Wannu King dies. Otherwise, the karmic fire of hell will burn the person who opens the door and everything, leaving no white hair on Changbai Mountain."
