Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, then looked at Xie Yuchen, and said: "The cliff you fell off is through the mechanism here, and it will be closed every once in a while, and the outside passage will only open when it is closed, so we have to do it here. Some time will pass, or the channel will disappear when it reopens."

Xie Yuchen was stunned for a moment, thinking of the cliff that was gradually closing when he was climbing before, he frowned and said, "So that's how it is." Then he supported the rock wall behind him, stood up with some difficulty, enduring the pain like a fracture in his body, his face paled. A little pale, "Let's get out of here first."

"You are injured, you can rest for a while before leaving." Zhang Qiling said lightly.

"It doesn't matter," Xie Yuchen smiled, "I can still bear this injury. Moreover, since I have been recruited, there may be changes at the higher levels, so we must find Wu Xie and the others as soon as possible."

"To get here, you have to come down from the top. According to the layout, the two roads should lead to the same place, and they will meet sooner or later." Black Glasses stood up, turned on the flashlight, and then looked at the time, "It's already night I can't stay here for long."

Zhang Qiling stood up holding the miner's lamp.The black glasses walked towards the entrance of the cave with a flashlight, leading the way.

Xie Yuchen moved his body and found that there was nothing serious, and the shoulder injury didn't hurt much. He was slightly relieved, and then walked forward.But I didn't expect that as soon as the leg moved, there would be a sudden sharp pain as if something was pulling the meridian violently, the strength on the foot could not help but loosen, the hand lost support, and the body suddenly fell forward.

Xie Yuchen didn't have time to react, and was about to fall to the ground. He wanted to stabilize his body, but found that his body seemed to have lost all control at that moment, unable to move.And just as soon as it touched the ground, both shoulders were suddenly lifted up by a force, catching the falling body.

Xie Yuchen raised his head, and his gaze fell into those eyes that were as indifferent as water, as deep and cold as a clear pool, and he could even see his own image reflected in them.

After supporting Xie Yuchen to make him stand still, Zhang Qiling backed away slightly, lowering his hand holding the miner's lamp.

Xie Yuchen regained his senses from the daze that fell into those eyes with some belated awareness, but he still watched.The hand still retains the residual warmth from the moment the other person's body leaned over, as if seeping in a little bit, wrapping around the fingertips, penetrating everywhere.Suddenly, I felt that the places touched were scalding hot.

The black glasses turned around and saw the two of them staring at each other silently. They frowned, but said lightly, "Let's go."

Xie Yuchen looked away in a panic, "Thank you." Then he turned around and walked forward slowly.

When the two walked ahead, Zhang Qiling walked last with a miner's lamp to illuminate the road.

After leaving this stone room, there is a dark passage outside, more than three meters wide, and a hundred meters long by visual inspection, and it is dark beyond that, and it is impossible to see the bottom.The stone walls on both sides are uneven, and the ground is piled up like a blast, and there are several huge rocks lying there.

And above, two huge mountains stretch upwards in a converging trend, getting closer and closer to each other, and finally, they are tightly closed together, and the top cannot be seen.

In the quiet and empty passage, there is only the echo of footsteps, which circles and spreads to the distance.

Xie Yuchen looked at the light of the flashlight guided by the black glasses in front of him, walked slowly, looked up at the majestic mountain dome above his head, the dome was built in ancient times, like the huge roof of a certain palace, he couldn't help sighing.In the vast snow-capped mountains, there are such human remains.

The three walked quietly, and no one spoke.

A faint light moves ahead.Xie Yuchen looked back, and Zhang Qiling walked behind unhurriedly, carrying a miner's lamp, with no emotion visible on his indifferent face.

Xie Yuchen lowered his eyelids slightly, then slowed down his pace, and only after Zhang Qiling walked up did he quicken his pace and walked together.I can't ignore the throbbing deep in my heart, but I dare not turn my head to look at it.

That person was beside him, and his indifferent figure carried a quiet magnetic field, which made people have a kind of power that was not afraid even in the dark and desperate.

"I brought the things in the hands of those members of the organization," Xie Yuchen said in a low voice. "It's with Wu Xie and the others. Although I don't know what it is, it should be very important. I think it will be the key to this matter." I don't know if it can help you."

After finishing speaking, the atmosphere became quiet, and after a while, Zhang Qiling said slowly: "The forces behind them have probably been looking for something. Coming here, they should have identified some clues." Having said this, he paused, "Actually, you don't have to come in person."

Xie Yuchen was taken aback for a moment, but instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words.Can't help being slightly surprised and delighted.

From the first contact with Zhang Qiling to the present, it can't be said that he fully understands him, but his heart is full of this person, so Xie Yuchen will naturally pay great attention to every detail of him.

He is a quiet and indifferent person, always indifferent to anything.He will not show his emotions to anyone, or in other words, he will not have too many unnecessary emotions, treat people indifferently, and will not care about anyone in particular.Perhaps when others are laughing at life, he is still traveling through the boundless journey for his own puzzles.He seems to be disconnected from the world and can disappear from everyone's sight at any time.When he's with other people, he doesn't care who does what, and he doesn't stop anyone from doing anything.But if he really cared about someone, he would use another way to tell that person that he should not take risks. This is also a rare way for him to express his worry.But he will not interfere with what the other party decides.

The whole thing, from the initial appearance of the mysterious forces, to the secrets of the family that were revealed at the auction, to the fact that the family was drawn into an unknown vortex, all of these were beyond Yuchen's control.The whole matter is too complicated. The mysterious organization will use all means to obtain something, and the investigation of Xie's family is hindered, and then traced to this place, which must mean that this place is critical and dangerous, and there may be no return.

But apart from figuring out the truth of the matter, Xie Yuchen actually understood his real purpose.

Clearly feeling the light breath of the person beside him, Xie Yuchen sighed imperceptibly, making it difficult to see the emotion flowing in his eyes in the darkness.Then he lowered his eyelids, smiled wryly and shook his head.

The real purpose...can you say it?Shouldn't I have that kind of thought, should I pour it out at this moment?What would he think?Will you hate yourself?

"Yeah, I don't need to come. You won't understand..." Xie Yuchen murmured in a low voice.

Zhang Qiling looked at Xie Yuchen's bitter smile and said nothing more.

The two fell silent and moved on quietly.

Probably because at night, the surrounding air seems to be even lower, and the temperature is getting lower and lower as it goes deeper, even almost lower than the outside temperature.And the original soil layer on the ground actually started to freeze, covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, which immediately shattered when stepped on.

The passage was longer than expected, and the walk was a little slow. The three of them walked for more than an hour before seeing the huge mountain at the end of the front.

On the rock wall, there is a tunnel-like opening with a width of two people and a height of one person.The stone walls around the opening are smooth and orderly, obviously traces of man-made excavation.

The black glasses stopped outside the entrance, and shone a flashlight on the stone walls, and found that there was a layer of frost on them, and there was a severe cold air.

And through this layer of frost, the light can be seen on the covered stone wall, depicting some severely faded murals. The color of the murals itself is only a dull and peeling crimson color. In this damp and cold environment, it is already incomplete. I can't see exactly what was drawn.

The black glasses only glanced a few times, and then shone the flashlight into the opening. The light passed through a corridor more than ten meters long, and there was a dark but seemingly large space inside.

Withdrawing his gaze, the black glasses gestured to Zhang Qiling, and then slowly walked into the corridor. The darkness instantly engulfed his figure, only the light of the flashlight flickered.

After a while, the flashlight with black glasses inside shook back and forth a few times, indicating that it was OK to go in.

Zhang Qiling and Xie Yuchen walked into the corridor, and soon came to a space that looked like a stone room.Xie Yuchen looked around. The stone chamber was circular. If you look carefully, you will find that it is exactly the same as the stone chamber when they came, and the size is also the same. If you look at it as a whole, the two stone chambers are symmetrical on both sides of the mountain passage. shape.Strictly speaking, the stone chamber should be regarded as a huge and ancient natural cave, but after a long period of great changes, the stalagmites hanging upside down from the top of the cave have become solid and dry fossils.

Facing the direction of the entrance, there is a dark corridor leading to a deeper place. I used a flashlight to illuminate it, and it was so deep that the light could not be lowered, and the light sank straight into the darkness.

"It's almost midnight." The black glasses glanced at the watch, and then at the tunnel. "It should be very troublesome inside. If you don't rest for a long time, you won't have the energy to toss around tomorrow. Let's rest here."

As he said that, he went around the huge natural stone room with a flashlight in the black glasses.

Xie Yuchen looked at his injuries at the moment, and found that his actions were indeed hindered, but he was really worried when he thought that Wu Xie and a few guys were still up there.

"I didn't expect there to be another cave here." The voice of the black glasses suddenly came from the front, with a faint echo, as if it came from an empty cave.

He stood not far away, turned around and signaled Zhang Qiling and Xie Yuchen to look over with his flashlight.The light illuminated the scene ahead of him.

In front of the black glasses is another wide crack-like entrance. The light spreads out after reaching the depths, obviously there is a large space inside.

Zhang Qiling walked over, and as soon as he got closer, he felt a moist heat blowing towards his face, with a smell like steaming spring water.

"It seems to be inside..." Xie Yuchen touched the rock wall with moisture on the edge, a little surprised, "Hot spring?"

The black glasses smiled noncommittally, then leaned in with a flashlight.The further you go in, the temperature gradually becomes warmer, and the moist atmosphere becomes denser and denser.Immediately, the light illuminated the space inside.

In front of you is a natural cave about the same size as the outside, and in the center is a clear hot spring half the size of a swimming pool.The hot spring is steaming hot, the stone surface at the bottom of the water is uneven, with a moist and soft luster, a few bowl-sized black holes in the middle roll out hot streams, and bubbles like boiling bubbles emerge.

"It's not bad, at least it's not too cold." Seeing that there was nothing wrong, the black glasses turned to the two people who came in.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent, and then he found a slightly dry convex rock and sat down, put down his backpack, leaned back against the rock wall, and then slightly closed his eyes to rest his mind, the slightly long black hair on his forehead was soft and soft due to some moisture Sticking it to the cheeks, it fits perfectly and outlines the contour of the arc.

Sitting next to Zhang Qiling, Xie Yuchen saw that the corners of his eyes were covered by a strand of black hair, he couldn't help raising his hand to gently push the strand of hair away, and then he was stunned as if he suddenly realized it.

This kind of action is too intimate, like expressing your heart...

The hand stopped suddenly, and Xie Yuchen was startled, fearing that the other party would suddenly open his eyes, so he quickly retracted his hand.

Zhang Qiling kept his eyes closed, his expression indifferent and unchanged, as if he was asleep, and it was impossible to see if he paid attention to Xie Yuchen's movements.

Xie Yuchen was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so he got up and went back to the stone room outside to get his backpack.

Following the departure of Xie Yuchen's footsteps, the entire cave fell silent.

And the black glasses who had been paying attention to all this watched Xie Yuchen go out, frowned tightly, turned his eyes to Zhang Qiling, and stared at him with an unclear expression.Thinking of the picture of the two of them just now, the eyes under the sunglasses narrowed dangerously, and the usual sinister arc at the corner of the mouth seemed a little stiff at the moment, almost sneering, and a little gloomy.

Slowly walking in front of Zhang Qiling, the black glasses turned off the flashlight.

In an instant, Zhang Qiling opened his eyes.

In the halo illuminated by the miner's lamp beside him, the black glasses squatted down on one knee, looking directly at Zhang Qiling without showing any emotion.

Zhang Qiling looked at the black glasses lightly, as if he was not going to break the silence.

After a while, the black glasses pursed the corners of his mouth, sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "It seems that we need to mark the ownership..."

As he said that, the black glasses raised his hands, propped himself on the rock wall behind Zhang Qiling, surrounded him, leaned forward and leaned towards him slowly, with an evil and unknown smile on his lips.

It was an extremely powerful and domineering movement. The black glasses exuded a dangerous but charming aura and approached Zhang Qiling. The slender body fit him perfectly. The faint light shrouded the profiles of the two people in a hazy shadow. , extremely charming, are gradually fitting each other.

Looking at the approaching face of the other party, Zhang Qiling slowly lowered his slightly tilted head, and then prepared to back away a little.

But the black glasses suddenly pressed Zhang Qiling's shoulder, leaned over and kissed him.

The author has something to say:

Seeing the black glasses pushing the bottle to the wall and kissing it there, I thought it was the black bottle and hit the wall...

It feels like a lot of clear water... OTL
