The whole empire is watching my live broadcast of Tomb Raiding [Interstellar]

The ground was still trembling, and the sky was roaring with thunder. Although their location was underground, the shrill howls were very clear and echoed throughout the space.

There was a "boom", and a stone lamp holder collapsed to the ground, followed by another rumbling sound, and the wall with the three fish gods turned open, revealing a dark passage.

Shi Qianjin couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground.Du Leding grabbed the clothes on his shoulders and shouted at Su Teng: "Let go of that bird first!"

Su Teng let go of his hand, and the black bird flapped its wings and quickly flew into the opposite passage.

The vibration gradually calmed down, and the screams from above his head gradually faded away. Su Teng landed on the ground and said, "Could it be that these natural phenomena are all caused by black birds?"

Du Le Ding also just had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but he didn't expect that after the black bird regained its freedom, it really calmed down the sudden earth shaking.He helped Shi Qianjin up and said, "I knew that broken bird was unusual, but I didn't expect it to have such power."

Charlie looked into the dark passage and said, "What the hell is it?"

"What should we do, should we follow up and see?" Du Leding asked for the opinions of others.

Charlie was startled: "I dare not follow that bird."

"It's not about following the bird, I just want to know where the passage leads to," Duledin said.

"Curiosity killed the cat, my Ding." Charlie hooked his shoulder nervously.

"Then what should we do, shall we go back the same way?" Du Le Ding looked around, there was no other exit from the hall except the way he came.

Shi Qianjin said eagerly, "But we haven't found Song Zheng yet."

Su Teng: "If our judgment is wrong, isn't Song Zheng and the others going this way?"

Several people fell into silence, hesitating.Charlie said weakly to the fans in the live broadcast room: "What do you say, should you enter the passage or go back?"

The barrage is messy, and there is everything to say.Charlie said: "Well, if you agree to enter the channel, call 1, and if you think you should return, call 2."

The audience was divided into two factions, a bunch of 111 and 222 on the light screen, and a bunch of 123 and 666 for those who had no idea.

Du Leding pondered for a moment and said: "When I was in the Giant Belly Mountain, those murals depicted a group of people living in underground caves. Later, we deduced that those aliens were branches of the Wuze Kingdom, and their living habits and religious beliefs were very similar to those of the Wuze Kingdom. Similar. This also means that Wuze Kingdom should also be an underground kingdom. After we entered the cave and walked all the way down, we should already be in the city of Wuze Kingdom."

"How to explain the murals in the glacier," Su Teng said, "The Uze Kingdom we saw is in a dense forest."

Du Le Ding touched his lips with his fingers and said, "That's true, but what if that primeval forest is not on the ground at all?"

"You mean to say that the entire space depicted in the glacier murals is all underground?" Su Teng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this is not impossible. Although the underground primeval forest is a wonderland, it does exist .

"If we go back the same way, I'm afraid we'll find nothing," Duledin looked towards the passage, "We've all come here, I'd rather venture in and see where the passage leads to."

I think after Song Zheng found this place, he would have the same thought, regardless of whether there were pursuers behind him or not, he would continue to explore.Even if they didn't take this path, as long as the final destination is the same, and everyone can reach it alive, they will always meet somewhere.

Shi Qianjin took the lead to walk towards the entrance of the passage: "Then don't leave the ink marks."

Su Teng quickly caught up and entered the tunnel first: "You follow me."

Two red golden streamers rose from Su Teng's back, a bit like wings.Du Leding followed behind Su Teng, and couldn't help but ask, "Does this fancy thing have any practical function?"

Su Teng's style was never flashy. He reached out and held the end of the streamer backwards, pulling out the streamer and holding it in his hand like a knife out of its sheath.The streamer seemed to have life, and instantly changed into the shape of a knife. Before Du Leding could be surprised, the streamer turned into a whip again, wrapping around Su Teng's arm like a snake.

"My male god is so cool." Charlie's eyes lit up.

Before the words were finished, the stream of light shot towards the depths of the passage like an arrow, and the red-gold light slid across the two walls like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, there was only one bright spot left in the darkness in front of him.

A sword-like streamer appeared behind Su Teng, and the system reminded: "The passage is about 1.3 kilometers long. At the current speed, it will take about 15 minutes to pass through."

"It's so long." Shi Qianjin muttered.

Du Leding didn't pay attention to the length and time, and raised his eyebrows: "Your system, is it my voice?"

Charlie snickered, and the idiot finally realized.

Su Teng gave a "hmm" and said, "It sounds nice."

Shi Qianjin joked: "You can make some panting audio."

"Get lost." Du Le Ding touched his nose, thinking that his voice was not so pleasant, at most it could be regarded as characteristic.

Roar--

There was a thunder-like sound in the distance, and this was the third time they had heard it.Shi Qianjin said anxiously: "Do you feel that this voice sounds like someone roaring?"

"It's quite similar," Du Leding was still struggling with his voice, "the lung capacity is enough."

Su Teng didn't seem to hear what they said, and reminded them to look at the walls on both sides: "There are murals on it."

The murals are directly engraved on the stone bricks. The inscriptions are very shallow and colorless. If you are not careful, you will be ignored.The content of the murals is still the fish god, some descended from the sky accompanied by lightning, some caused huge waves to overwhelm the river and the sea, and some flew out of the sky amid landslides and ground cracks.

The picture is not narrative, but simply depicts the scene where the fish god appears.Du Leding's heart moved and said: "The images of the fish gods we have seen so far are all in groups of three. Does this represent the fish gods with three different powers?"

It is obvious in the painting that the three fish gods have three different powers.Su Teng recalled: "The glacier mural depicts the scene where Song Xiangqi led the army to die at sea. It should be that when he approached this island, he encountered the fish god in the sea."

Shi Qianjin laughed dryly: "It sounds like the fish god really exists. This is just a kind of superstition of the ignorant ancients on the power of nature."

This statement is not unreasonable, but Du Le Ding feels that the symbolic meaning of the fish god is not a purely natural phenomenon.The island is indeed full of unexplainable situations, as well as those strange species.

Some stone bricks are missing from the walls on both sides. I don’t know whether it is man-made or other reasons, resulting in the lack of part of the murals, making it even more difficult to interpret.The weird black box and fish god scepter also appeared in it.

The three-snake vortex map is also in it, and it occupies a large area, so it can be seen more clearly.The following picture is a place similar to an altar. There is a well in the center of the altar above the circular stone steps. The person holding the scepter of the fish god and wearing a mask symbolizing the identity of the monarch is doing strange movements. A puff of black smoke rises from the mouth of the well. rise.

Shi Qianjin knocked on the wall: "Master Du, explain what this means."

"You can just call me Professor Du," Du Leding said "modestly". "This is obviously the monarch of Wuze Kingdom holding a sacrificial ceremony. It may be the scene about the inheritance of theocracy and kingship that you saw in the general's suicide note."

"Dear 'unicorn', have you forgotten?" Shi Qianjin smiled mockingly, "The successor and the monarch's cronies were also included in that ceremony, but the monarch is the only one in this picture."

Du Leding: "..."

"There is a sequel here." Su Teng said.

After the painting just now, the scene remains the same, but this time there is no figure of the monarch, the black smoke rising from the mouth of the well just now lingers above the mouth of the well, and several people in heavy armor kneel around the mouth of the well. circle, his head buried deep in his chest reverently.

Du Leding couldn't make it up, so he had to read on.

Soon they realized that the previous speculation was really good.In a large hall, the monarch was still holding the scepter of the fish god, and a man knelt on his knees in front of him, and it could even be said that he was almost lying on the ground.

There is an imaginary line between the two, and there are five men in armor standing around them.

"This is the succession ceremony," Shi Qianjin said excitedly, "This dotted line represents the monarch transferring his power or soul to the man kneeling on the ground."

Charlie looked around: "Where is that magic stone, why didn't it appear in the picture?"

Du Leding analyzed: "These pictures are common in the inheritance ceremonies of the past dynasties, maybe they are usually unnecessary."

The three of them were trying their best to analyze the meaning of these murals one by one, but they saw Su Teng stopped not far in front, staring intently at the wall on the right.

Du Le Ding walked over and followed his gaze to look at the wall. The content of this mural is very familiar. It depicts the sacred fish tree standing in the center of the ancient city, and the huge fish god statue sticks out its head above the towering canopy. , the slender body stood tall, and the obsidian-like eyes were piercing.

There is also a more familiar thing on the head of the fish god.Because of the proportions, the thing was very small, almost like a blemish in a painting, but Duledin still recognized it: "Isn't this the fucking bastard bird!"

Su Teng raised his mask and said in a daze, "I think, I know why that bird keeps staring at me."

Du Leding was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"Because of the eyes." Su Teng said lightly.

On the way he and Shi Qianjin came, they passed a small sacrificial hall, and the mural inside was a black bird flying towards the fish god statue with a chubby thing in its mouth.Later, when the general's suicide note explained the passing of the monarch, it mentioned that Princess Wushan ordered General Yayu to remove a pair of eyes from the statue of the fish god, and then black mist enveloped the entire island.

Su Teng said in a low voice: "The black bird probably wants to restore the eyes of the fish god statue."

A chill ran down Duleding's back. He subconsciously glanced at Su Teng's eyes and said, "You mean, what the black bird did just now was to peck out your eyeballs? Don't be kidding. It's just a bird, at most... at most it's a little clever and likes to play tricks on people."

"It's more than just cleverness," Shi Qianjin heard clearly behind him, "Although it looks like a bird, I really can't tell what's under the skin. But why does it insist on pressing a pair of birds for the fish god?" Eyeballs?"

"Who cares what its purpose is?" Du Le Ding raised his voice, and at the same time looked deep into the passage, beware that the blackbird might fly out to attack Su Teng at any time, "If it comes again, I will pluck it into a bald chicken."

Shi Qianjin's tone was indifferent: "Su Teng has tried it before. After catching the black bird, there was thunder and an earthquake. Are you sure we won't bury the black bird after it is crushed to death?"

"What do you mean by that? Are you letting that bird peck Su Teng's eyes blind?" Du Leding frowned.

Charlie also became serious. The fans in the live broadcast room were denouncing Shi Qianjin, thinking that he acted as if he had nothing to do with himself and put Su Teng's safety at risk, so what kind of companion was he.

Barrage: By the way, isn't Shi Qianjin always with Song Zheng? Could it be a spy!

Barrage: We have found a traitor!

Barrage: Lazy!

Barrage: Despair!

Shi Qianjin said with a sullen face: "I mean, at least we must first understand what the black bird's intention is. The general's suicide note said that the black mist appeared after General Crow Feather took off the eyeballs of the fish god statue. Didn't it just come from the fish god?" If God has eyes, the black mist will disperse?"

Although it is not yet certain what the cause of the black mist is, they all acquiesce that the reason why they cannot leave the island is the black mist.If this is the case, after solving the problem of Song Zheng and the mutation, they have to find a way to dispel the black mist and create conditions to leave here.

Du Leding became angry: "According to you, if the pupils of the fish god statue are the key to dispelling the black mist, and dispelling the black mist is a necessary condition for us to leave this island, then Su Teng will have to sacrifice his eyes! "

Shi Qianjin said nothing, her face was very ugly.

"Stop arguing," Charlie waved his hand, "I'm not sure that's the case now, so let's move on."

Although he was persuading the fight, he also had some resentment towards Shi Qianjin.It's not the time to think about those things right now, how can we not think about the solution, but think about sacrificing his male god first.

Shi Qianjin opened her mouth, and after a while she could utter a few words: "I just want to take all possible possibilities into consideration and have a psychological preparation in advance."

This kind of psychological preparation cannot be accepted no matter how much in advance.Du Leding waved his hands restlessly: "Let's go quickly."

The atmosphere became awkward, but Su Teng smiled half-smile instead.Du Le Ding's anger was still there, and he angered him and said: "Why are you laughing, be careful when the bird comes to peck your eyeballs, quickly put down the mask."

After that, he pricked up his ears, wanting to hear if there was a "woo-woo" sound.

Su Teng was silent for a while, seemingly hesitating to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.He walked to the next mural, and soon got new information.

The beginning of this group of murals depicts the island where they are located, with high mountains on it, and a ball falling from the sky.After that, all the mountains and mountains disappeared, but a crater appeared on the ground.

Su Teng said: "This should be a meteorite, which exploded on the ground and formed a crater. This should also explain the source of the metal block."

It may be that at a certain period, some people left the island with some meteorites and settled in the Giant Belly Mountain. Later, Song Xiangqi found out that he put Song Zhen's body into a coffin and made metal blocks.He seemed to deliberately want to leave some clues for future generations to discover and track down.

But why would he do this?The jade unicorn in the metal block is a reminder of the location of the astrolabe in the final mechanism. Obviously he hopes that someone can find this island and solve all the mysteries.

But in this way, just like they first discovered the ancient tomb of Wushan and found all related altars and tombs by following the clues, wouldn't this encourage grave robbers to dig graves in their homes?

"What are you thinking?" Su Teng asked.

Du Leding said in a daze: "I was thinking, is the reason why Song Xiangqi did this is that he hoped that someone would witness the miracle of his resurrection? So is the island he left various clues pointing to be a reward or a punishment?"

Su Teng: "How can you be sure that Song Xiangqi must be brought back to life?"

Du Leding only saw the opening mechanism inside Song Xiangqi's coffin in an illusory dream, so he made this guess.Or maybe Song Xiangqi didn't come back to life at all, and everything was just his own psychological suggestion.The general's suicide note also said that just having the fish god's scepter is not enough.

So what is this key factor other than the Fish God Scepter?

While Du Leding was deep in thought, Su Teng was still studying the murals: "Looking at the way these people kneel and worship at the crater pass, they may think that this is some kind of mysterious power descended from the sky. Perhaps in their beliefs, The power of the fish god also comes from this."

After that, a tall man entered the sinkhole alone, and when he came back, he was holding an irregularly shaped object in his hand.

Su Teng recognized that thing as the stone of the fish god drawn in the cave scroll.This may be the debris after the meteorite exploded. In short, the man seems to have gained some kind of power from the Fish God Stone. The others all knelt down to him, and led them into the crater to start building the ancient city.

"Man's images of gods are all derived from some real images in reality," Du Leding said, "For example, dragons have the characteristics of nine animals such as snakes, deer, cows, and tigers."

Charlie puzzled: "What do you want to say?"

Du Le Ding: "I mean, is it possible that the Fish God is not just an imagination, but has a prototype. Is it possible that the man who obtained the Fish God Stone saw a strange species at the bottom of the pit?"

The inhabitants of the island obviously lived here before the meteorite fell, so it is speculated that the strange species did not appear until after the formation of the crater.

"You don't think that after the meteorite exploded, a species that didn't exist on the earth was born?" Charlie doubted the possibility of such a guess.

"In the process of seeking the truth from the false, you have to make bold assumptions." Du Leding looked back again, and everyone went down to the bottom of the pit, surrounded by a black air mass.They began to build the ancient city in it.

But after the ancient city was built, the black substance disappeared.

Several people sorted out all the knowledge in chronological order. Du Leding concluded: "First of all, I don't know how long ago the meteorite fell on the island and formed a crater. After a long time, a dense virgin forest was formed in this crater. The residents above established the Uze Kingdom in the pit."

Charlie interjected, "Then this ancient country is really very old."

"Don't interrupt," Du Leding continued, "there may be a kind of gas in the tiankeng, but I don't know why it disappeared after the ancient city was built. They may have taken special measures at that time. And when Princess Wushan helped Song Xiangqi After leaving, this gas reappeared, and it can be seen that the eyes of the fish god statue are equivalent to a switch."

Judging from the contents of the scroll, Princess Wushan and Song Xiangqi escaped from the island before the black mist fell, and after the general and his party settled the monarch's body, they could no longer go to sea to pursue them.

"If the black gas is what causes human mutation and death, and prevents anyone from leaving in any way..." Du Leding did not continue, which means that the mechanism of the fish god statue must be closed, and a pair of double pupils is required.

He was startled suddenly, and actually grinned a self-deprecating smile.It can be said that he cares but then becomes confused, forgetting the most important things: "Ah, that eyeball..."

A roar that sounded like a "bang" interrupted his words, and several people looked towards the end of the passage at the same time.The sound seemed far away, but echoes echoed endlessly.

The passage has come to an end, and then it is connected to a naturally formed cave.They ran quickly and passed the exit in a short time.

The exit is located on the mountain wall, and there is a dense virgin jungle in front of you. The ground is covered with wet leaves and there is soft rotten soil, with clumps of vines and creeping plants in disorder.The roots, like octopus tentacles, intertwine through the bottom of the tree, spread out along the ground, and even climb the mountain wall.The luxuriant branches and leaves set up an airtight canopy in the air, enclosing the inside tightly.

They were indeed already at the bottom of the crater in the mural.

"Look over there." Su Teng stretched out his finger. They were located at the edge of the jungle, and they had a fairly wide field of vision. They could see a dark shadow passing through the top of the tree like a huge pagoda.

There is a small path outside the cave leading down the mountain, they trot all the way down, when Qianjin suddenly called out after a long time, "It's Song Zheng!"

In the col obliquely opposite, Song Zheng and his party were running quickly into the dense forest, as if they were still being chased by someone, and the roar came from there.
