Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

Zhang Qiling packed his backpack, and when he walked out of the stone room, he looked back and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuchen stopped and looked sideways at him.

Zhang Qiling withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly.

At this time, a ray of light suddenly came from the corridor in front of it, and then it swayed, and a tall figure walked slowly.

The black glasses walked in front of the two of them. The dark glasses seemed to be deeper and impossible to see through in the darkness. He looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "Let's go, I saw the signs on the road ahead and the exit, it should be you who left it."

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly suspiciously, "Did you follow the sign?"

"Ah, because he will leave a mark when he has been to a place, otherwise how will he remember it when he forgets it?" The black glasses raised his eyebrows and turned around to lead the way.

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen didn't say anything, and walked behind.

There is a feeling of oppression in the dark and closed corridor. The mottled murals on the stone wall are faintly visible, and only the faded and incomplete parts are left, which looks extremely strange.

Because it is close to the hot spring, there is a lot of moisture in the air, and a thin layer of water vapor was on my face after walking for a long time.

Xie Yuchen looked at the murals passing by, stretched out his fingers and scratched them lightly, and his fingertips were immediately covered with water mist on the wall.

Seeing that the two people in front were about to go far away, Xie Yuchen withdrew his hands and followed them, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his body, and the wounds on his back and shoulders were slightly itchy, not obvious but could be felt clearly, as if something had brushed gently Same.

It may be that when a person is in the dark, when the vision cannot perceive everything around them, other senses will be more sensitive, and some subtle sensations will be magnified.

Xie Yuchen raised his hand to touch the wound on his shoulder. The wound hurt when he pressed his fingers, but it was still itchy.Putting his hands down and not caring about it, Xie Yuchen continued to walk, but when he looked up, he saw that the light in front of him stopped.

In front of the corridor appeared another cross passage, which was in the shape of a cross, and both ends were equally dark.

"Here." The black glasses stopped and shone the flashlight to the corner of the intersection on the right. There was a mark similar to English engraved there. The traces were already dim, and it was obviously engraved a long time ago.

"If you follow the signs," the black glasses pointed to another passageway, "you will pass through here to another cave. There is an exit, but it is blocked by the stone formation. If you can't open it, it may be a dead end."

Xie Yuchen glanced around and said in a low voice, "If it's a dead end, shouldn't you go to the opposite end?"

The black glasses smiled, and looked at the silent Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling looked at the corridor and remained silent.He has been paying attention to the back from the beginning, looking back from time to time, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, seeing the black glasses looking at him, he thought about it, and when he was about to say something, he felt the ground under his feet tremble.

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and immediately fell silent.

And after that shock, the entire corridor began to tremble slightly, one after another dull loud noises came from the darkness behind itself, similar to the sharp sound of metal scraping each other.

"Isn't this voice..." Xie Yuchen was taken aback for a moment, the voice was very similar to what he heard before he came down.

"It should be that the cliff above opened." Zhang Qiling put his hand on the stone wall, pressed his two oddly long fingers against the stone surface, and frowned slightly, "Maybe it will open and close automatically after a while, but it may also be due to human factors. "

"Human-made reasons?" Black glasses raised eyebrows, and the corners of the mouth curled up. "When we came down, the top was open. There was no sign of anyone else going there, and we didn't find the structure of the mechanism. It's really weird to say." Xiang Jie Yuchen, "When we saw you, the cliff was closed. You were hit by the mechanism and fell down. If it was activated before, it would make sense."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qiling, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, turned around suddenly, and then ran into the corridor at an astonishing speed. The black glasses and Xie Yuchen disappeared before they realized it.

The two immediately chased after them.

Zhang Qiling's figure was no longer visible, only the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, and the two couldn't help speeding up.After running in the corridor for two or three minutes, an exit with a height of one person appeared in front of him.

Outside the exit is a huge cave, the ground is somewhat uneven, and there is still water in the shallow pit.

Seeing the light of the flashlight stopped in front of him, Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" The black glasses walked to Zhang Qiling's side, following his line of sight.

There is a hole of the same size on the side corresponding to the entrance, but a few steps in, it is blocked by a stone door.

"I have checked here," the black glasses walked over and stopped in front of the stone gate, "except for this gate, there is nothing special about it."

After speaking, he looked back at Zhang Qiling, "What did you find?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "Wait a little longer."

"Wait?" The black glasses were taken aback for a moment, as if thinking of something, he slowly backed away and walked to the side, staring at Shimen.

And at this moment, Shimen suddenly began to vibrate slightly with a low-frequency arc, and then the vibration became more and more obvious, the sound became louder, and the entire ground began to shake.Just when people felt that the stone gate was about to collapse, there was a bang, and the stone gate suddenly lifted up, revealing a dark opening half the height of a person.

A flowing weak air flow surged out from the deep opening, carrying a bone-chilling chill.

Zhang Qiling walked over and illuminated the inside with a flashlight. The light disappeared in front of him, indicating that the inside was very deep.

"The mechanism above drives the stone formation here. It seems that the period of time when the cliff is opened is the key." Black Glasses said, "I'm afraid there is something tossing inside."

Zhang Qiling looked inside, leaned forward and walked in, followed by Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen.

Inside is a slightly narrow corridor, only wide enough for one person to pass through.There is a faint cold air rushing from the depths, and there is the whirring sound of the air passing through the corridor.

Zhang Qiling walked slowly ahead, paying attention to the movement around him.The further you go in, the wider the corridor becomes.

After walking for nearly 10 minutes, the surrounding air suddenly weakened, and then gradually disappeared.

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and stopped.

The black glasses and Xie Yuchen behind him also stopped.

Just when the three of them were quiet, a series of sounds of chains pulling suddenly came from an unknown place, and the entire corridor was filled with such sounds.Then the sound suddenly disappeared again. After a few seconds of silence, there was a dull pounding sound, as if a giant hammer was hitting the ground hard.

"Do you want to exit first?" The black glasses looked at Zhang Qiling, but the deafening knocking sound was too loud, and the voice was almost covered when it came out.

Zhang Qiling glanced at the top of his head, then leaned close to the stone wall, and put his cheek against the stone wall, as if he was listening to something through the stone wall.At the same time, he raised his hand, and his fingers groped for something along the cracks between the stone walls.

"What's that?" Xie Yuchen said suddenly, and he looked up at the top of the corridor not far away.

Zhang Qiling and his black glasses followed the light of his flashlight, and saw that there seemed to be something hanging on the top of the corridor, rather than hanging on it, it was more like embedded in the stone wall at the top, and it was faintly visible that the thing had the shape of a person.

Zhang Qiling approached slowly, and when he saw what it was, his face sank a bit.

The black glasses and Xie Yuchen walked over, and were also taken aback when they saw clearly.

In the center of the stone wall at the top is a semicircular pit recessed inwards, with a diameter of about two meters, and in this pit is inlaid a humanoid object that looks like a mummy, and is wrapped in thick brocade. The age cannot be verified, and it is deeply blackened and rotted, and it looks like it will fall off at any time.As for the brocade wrapped around the head, the rotten cotton wool doesn't look all black, but is soaked with traces of a strange and permeable green liquid, especially the mouth part, which is in a sunken shape, as if it was a person who was killed. The person trapped inside was struggling with his mouth open, and the color there was dark and black. It seemed that the miserable green liquid had penetrated from there, and the whole appearance exuded an ominous atmosphere.

"It's not a good sign, it looks like a burial tomb here." The black glasses adjusted his sunglasses, the corners of his mouth were drawn into a straight line, and he was rarely serious.

Xie Yuchen frowned suspiciously, "I've never seen this kind of burial before."

Zhang Qiling looked up for a moment, then retracted his gaze, and when he looked at the ground, he couldn't help taking a step back, then squatted down, and whispered to the two people behind him: "Look here."

On the ground directly under the mummy above the head, there are a large number of well-distributed notches chiseled, and the shape is very eye-catching and characteristic. If you look closely, you will find that it is a picture similar to a formation.The whole is circular, and some totem-like symbols are engraved divergently in the center of the circle. There are several intersecting straight lines between these arranged symbols, and two dots are chiseled between these straight lines.

"Is this a tomb formation?" Xie Yuchen frowned suspiciously, "I've seen it in the literature and history Tianchan, some larger tombs or ancient city ruins, such as the ancient city of Loulan, this kind of formation often represents a It is a kind of totem of belief or some kind of curse seal of group sacrifices, but there is another possibility that it represents the connection between certain things."

"Contact..." The black glasses looked at the circular formation on the ground, "Is the code word in the constellation formation connected?"

Xie Yuchen nodded, "That's right, this is a type of constellation array, and those symbols are descriptions of the positions of Sanyuan, 28 constellations and Sixiang stars. As long as you know that these are all those constellations described above, you may be able to know what it is. expressed connection."

"It's not a waste of time to come so many one by one. It's just to describe the location, but it seems that there are two decorations engraved on it." The black glasses looked at the two dots in the array, "tsk" He said in a loud voice: "If the key to this formation is these two points..."

As he said that, Hei glasses squatted down, pointed to one of the points, and then pointed to several symbols on both sides, "This is Qisu, the south is like Suzaku, this is Ersu, and the north is like Xuanwu, all of which are located too far away." Yuan, then, as long as you know the location of these two points, and then contact important places, you may know, the location of the southern elephant, for example..."

"Changbai Mountain." Zhang Qiling said suddenly.

"Changbai Mountain?" The black glasses froze for a moment, and his expression changed, "That's right, Changbai Mountain. If it's located in the North Elephant, the other point is here...Tibet."

"Changbai Mountain and Tibet," Xie Yuchen was thinking, "what is the connection between them?"

The black glasses looked at Zhang Qiling, "Do you remember, after I went to Changbai Mountain to take you away, those people went to investigate."

Zhang Qiling nodded, looked at the formation under his feet expressionlessly, and then stood up.

Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of gunfire, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps, mixed with some people's terrified cries, getting louder and closer.

The three immediately turned around and looked over.

The moment the sound approached, the gunfire stopped, and several lights suddenly shone over, and the light here also shone through, and the person who came was clearly seen, and five or six people with heavy equipment on their backs appeared in front of them.

"Brother?!" The person at the front suddenly yelled while looking at this side, then seemed to be stunned, and then ran over, "You are here!"

"Wu Xie? Are you all right? Why did you come from behind?" Xie Yuchen was a little surprised.

"Master Hua." The people behind saw Xie Yuchen and shouted in unison.

Xie Yuchen nodded.

Wu Xie stared blankly at Zhang Qiling, seeing that the other party's expression was calm as usual, his eyes were as calm as water, and his nervous and worried heart suddenly settled down.It seems to be like this all the time, no matter where you are, as long as you have his figure by your side, you will feel the stability of your heart throbbing.

After staring for a long time, until the atmosphere quieted down, he looked away with nostalgia.Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen, sighed, and said, "We came down from the entrance on the other side of the cliff. When we turned around, we found you were gone. We kept looking for it along that corridor, and it turned out..." Speaking of This Wu Xie looked at the top of his head casually, but his face turned pale when he saw the mummy above, pointing at the mummy and said with some horror: "This is it! There are many such things at the top of the tunnel , It was all fine before, but as soon as we walked there, those things turned up dead, we shot all the way, ran here to solve it, and then met you."

When the guys saw the mummy above their heads, they immediately raised their guns and pointed with fear, for fear that the corpse would jump down at any time.

"You mean this thing will raise corpses?" Xie Yuchen asked nervously.

Just as Wu Xie was about to answer, Zhang Qiling continued to ask: "Is there this under the thing you encountered?" He pointed to the formation on the ground.

Wu Xie looked down, shook his head and said, "No, why is there such a thing here, do you have any explanation?"

Xie Yuchen sighed, "This is probably a clue about this place. If you didn't see it, you might have gone the wrong way."

As he spoke, Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Qiling, "Look at this first," he said, beckoning to a few guys, "Take out the things."

A clerk unbuttoned his knapsack and pulled out a black, red-patterned case.

Xie Yuchen took it, pressed the lock of the box with his hand, then looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "You may have seen it before." As he spoke, he clamped the lock with his fingers, turned it left and right a few times, and then pressed hard, with a "click", The casket was opened.
