[Tomb Raiders Notes] Play to the depths, enter the venue by yourself

The past and present of the Nine Gates (Revised)

Zhang Yan didn't realize that something was wrong with Wu Xie until he fell to the ground completely. It was strange, why did he faint suddenly?Zhang Yan, who confirmed that he had absolutely no problem with the size of his hands, and did not let Wu Xie touch any obstacles, quickly put Wu Xie on the ground with half his arms around him, and checked the situation. After checking Wu Xie's situation, Zhang Yan was already frowning Wu Xie's brows were almost tangled—it was obviously just shaking in the air for a while, why did Wu Xie suddenly faint, and it was the first time he had seen the other party's strange and chaotic pulse.

Zhang Yan, who was urgently thinking about countermeasures, suddenly felt someone approaching, and his face turned cold. If the qi mechanism could manifest, his whole body must be covered with ice scum.

Without raising his head, Zhang Yan directly warned, "If you take another step forward, you will die."

Sure enough, the man stopped moving forward, and only said in a deep voice, "Wu Xie is also my brother, I won't hurt him."

Zhang Yan suddenly felt ridiculed, "You have already hurt him, haven't you?" As he spoke, he reacted, and raised his head coldly, "You did this again?" As he spoke, he pulled out the sword behind his back and pointed it at his face. The old itch who spoke, laughed angrily, "I really regret not chopping you up now"

The old itchy expression remained unchanged, but he immediately took two steps back, raising his hands slightly to show that he was harmless, "Calm down, I'm here to save him, you don't want Lao Wu to become a lunatic, do you?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan was taken aback, and quickly checked Wu Xie's mental state carefully. After finding out that Wu Xie's spirit had been mixed with other things, his face was extremely ugly, and he looked up at the old itchy " It's you who made him dizzy, but you don't have the ability to do this, and it's been a long time, who made it?"

The old itchy shook his head, feeling chills when he was stared at by Zhang Yan's icy eyes, knowing that it was impossible to fool the person in front of him, and it would be miserable if he played tricks again, he simply said frankly, "You should have guessed it, after all, his surname is Wu .”

Zhang Yan paused, and immediately thought of the Wu family and the Nine Gates behind him. He sighed deeply, "No matter what the goal is, is it worth implanting other people's memories into the only descendant of my family? Wu Xie was still a child at that time." Bar."

The old itchy continued to shake his head, "It's wrong, it's not considered an implant, it should be read by Wu Xie, after all, you should be aware of it, he has a special physique, it's just that it may be too frequent to cause confusion, they probably don't want to, But there are some things you just can’t do if you don’t want to.”

Zhang Yan looked at the old itch, and was too lazy to argue with him about such meaningless things, so he just asked, "According to what you mean, this is a mistake caused by the Wu family or your Jiumen's previous plan, and it only broke out until now." What is their solution? How do you know?"

Lao You didn't answer this time, but just looked at Wu Xie fixedly, with a strange expression, like envy, pity, jealousy, and distress..."You know what? I've always envied him, but at the same time I feel sorry for him..." He paused, stopped talking, and threw a small glass bottle far away to Zhang Yan, "You can only trust me, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to wake up, no one here wants Wu Xie Death, he is very important to us, and he must go to the bronze tree with me, just pour this into Wu Xie's nose."

Zhang Yan caught the bottle and looked at Old Itchy vigilantly. To be honest, he didn't trust Old Itchy at all, but it would take time for him to help Wu Xie find a way...

He was completely worried about the old itchy things, and he thought carefully about the original works he had read. After confirming that nothing happened to Wu Xie here, he carefully opened the bottle and smelled it. used.

An hour later, Zhang Yan, who had dealt with all of Wu Xie's burns, couldn't help squinting his eyes at Wu Xie who was still awake. He couldn't help being a little anxious, and looked at Lao Xie again, his eyes almost froze, "Wu Xie If you don’t wake up again, you don’t have to think about what to do in the bronze tree alive.”

Lao Xie, who was lighting a fire to warm up, looked at Zhang Yan who was hugging Wu Xie like an old hen protecting the calf, and shrugged indifferently, knowing the effect of the medicine, and Wu Xie who would wake up later would definitely hide it. He stared at him, so he didn't hesitate to threaten him, "It's because you protect yourself too tightly. I just said that if you give him two ears, he will wake up early."

Zhang Yan was a little confused when he heard the words. After he understood that a certain amount of stimulation was needed, he stretched out his hand to test Wu Xie's face twice, but he still didn't do it. In the end, he simply pressed the acupuncture points and waited for Wu Xie to wake up naturally.

The old itchy looked at Zhang Yan's usual extremely double-standard handling mode, and then thought about the relevant materials he had read before leaving. He was so unbalanced in his heart that he snorted twice, and vented his anger secretly. After being dissatisfied, Lao Xie turned around and stopped looking at Zhang Yan, and continued to cook by himself.

Wu Xie was still spinning in Qi Yu's memory, and when he was strangled by his third uncle in his memory, he suddenly heard a voice calling him, "Naive? Wu Xie? Wake up!"

Wu Xie shuddered immediately, his vision went dark suddenly, and he found that everything around him suddenly disappeared, while Zhang Yan was patting his cheek and calling him, Zhang Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief seeing Wu Xie who woke up, he saw Wu Xie just now. Xie suddenly frowned and looked uncomfortable, guessing if he was about to wake up, so he tentatively slapped Wu Xie twice, but he didn't expect it to be really useful, so it is actually more useful to wake him up physically?Zhang Yan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Wu Xie, who woke up, sighed. It turned out that what happened just now was just a dream. He looked at Zhang Yan who was lying on his pillow, and the other party didn't know why he was in a daze, so he turned his head and found that it was on a pebble beach. , there was still a bonfire next to it, and Lao Xie was warming up by the bonfire. Seeing Wu Xie woke up, he smiled at Wu Xie naturally, "Old—Old Wu, you are awake!"

Seeing that everything was normal, Wu Xie got up and pinched the bridge of his nose vigorously, but he wondered why he had such a strange dream. Could it be that he was thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, but it's not right, He hasn't given much thought to these things recently.

Wu Xie once again looked at Zhang Yan who was staring at the dark place in a daze, and Lao You who was warming himself by the fire, and finally decided to put this question aside, and asked Lao You, "Oo You, where is this place?"

Lao Xie took out a flare gun from an unknown bag on the side, pointed to the back, Wu Xie looked back, and found that the pebble beach was actually very small, and there was another section behind it, and there was a cliff. Immediately subconsciously guessed that the rock dike where this underground waterway is located may be a stepped downward structure, and mountain movement should have occurred in some places, resulting in this series of faults.

At this moment, Old Tick fired a signal flare at the top of the cliff with a "bang", revealing the scene below the cliff.

By the light of the signal flare, I saw a large natural cave more than ten feet below the cliff, which was densely packed with coffins, one next to the other, and in some places there were several layers, and there were thousands of them. It is simply spectacular.

Wu Xie didn't understand what he saw at first, but when he understood, he was blinded, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't believe his eyes, "This...what is this place!!" Wu Xie exclaimed: " My God, it's a coffin warehouse!"

Hearing Wu Xie's admiration, Zhang Yan also glanced down. He didn't know what he saw, and his expression was not very happy, but he only replied, "This seems to be a burial cave for Miao people in Gaopo."

"Gaopo Miao people, don't Gaopo Miao people live in Guizhou?" Wu Xie was puzzled by Zhang Yan's answer. Zhang Yan was still looking at the cave below. I speculate based on my own knowledge, "I don't know, anyway, it's a cave burial, that's right, probably the Miao people who migrated nearby, but there seems to be some problems with the arrangement."

While talking, the signal flare in the air had already slid to the end of the arc. The moment the light went out, Wu Xie, who was still looking at the group of coffins, found that there seemed to be something special in the middle of these coffins.

At this time, Lao Xie filled another signal flare, as if he knew what Wu Xie was thinking, he fired a shot at the strange place Wu Xie saw just now, re-lit it, and looked at Zhang Yan with a little embarrassment, Zhang Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the old itch, just followed the flare of the signal flare,

Wu Xie stared at the place, following the light, he found that it was an open space without any coffins, located in the northeast corner of the entire cave, about [-] to [-] square meters, although the light from the signal flares was not enough to let He could see clearly whether there was anything special about this area, but one thing he was sure of was that this open space was sunken downwards, and it should be a pit.

At this moment, Lao Tiao pointed to the place and said triumphantly: "See, I just came out of that pit. There is a hole in the bottom of the pit, which I punched when I came out. Below is the tomb we are going to. "

Wu Xie suddenly felt strange. In ancient times, the Miao people did not believe in Fengshui. The coffins in cave burials were usually placed with the family as the honor. The ancestors were on the bottom floor, and new corpses came up one after another. Too much attention, and it is impossible to deliberately vacate a space.Therefore, why the entire thousand coffin holes are full of coffins, but that one is not placed, is it intentional or is there a feng shui emphasis?

Thinking of this, he suddenly wondered if it was Lao You who dug up the hole when he dug the hole: "Oo You, did you dig that place down when you came out of the hole, causing the ground there to sink into the ancient In the tomb?"

Hearing Wu Xie's doubts, Lao Xie widened his eyes and immediately swore to the sky, "How—how could it be possible, there were double seven layers of blue bricks on the ancient tomb at that time, I—I took it horizontally according to the method you said Take four out of three vertically, there is already a pit there when you go up, and this—this pit is impossible to have anything to do with me.”

"The person who built this tomb should have moved it away by himself." Zhang Yan, who had been looking at the bottom and said nothing, suddenly said, "The bottom is no longer a simple burial hole, and there is a formation inside, but it can past"

Wu Xie was still thinking about why the old itchy would use the most dangerous method in the Qing tomb, and usually use the method of breaking the roof when he really has no choice. Hearing Zhang Yan's words, he couldn't help being surprised, "There is still a long way to go down here." method? Can Miao people know how to use formations?"

Zhang Yan shook his head again. He really didn't have any impression of this paragraph, and what he was mainly looking at just now was not this. "I don't know, maybe it was specially built by someone?" It is not certain that it is specially used to guard the bronze tree."

Hearing Zhang Yan's answer, Wu Xie was even more confused, Shoushu?Could it be that the bronze tree is used as a totem for worship activities?He has never heard that the Miao people still worship trees, and were there any peoples who used trees as their totems in ancient times?

Wu Xie, who couldn't figure it out, didn't want to continue entangled with this problem, and decided to wait until he went down to see it. At this time, he saw the old itchy and wanted to send another signal flare, so he quickly stopped it. After all, it was time to watch it now. It's almost enough to see, there is no need to waste unnecessary resources.

After stopping the old itch, Wu Xie looked at his watch. It had been six hours since a few people came down. At this time, Wu Xie remembered that he still had the burns in the water just now, and finally he lifted his clothes. Finding that everything has been dealt with, Wu Xie, who felt no pain except being tired, tried to jump twice, then probed to look at the cliff more than 20 meters below, and said to Zhang Yan and Lao Xie, "It's already eleven o'clock in the evening outside now. We have not stopped all the way, so we will not go down tonight, take a good rest, and wait until tomorrow to go down, otherwise we will enter the ancient tomb in a state of fatigue. If there is anything inside, the state of fatigue will definitely leak "

Lao You immediately nodded his head in agreement. He couldn't rest under Zhang Yan's gaze before, and he was already too sleepy at the moment. "I also agree to rest first. It's not because I'm worried about what's in the ancient tomb, but because of the current situation. It is too unsafe to climb the cliff with physical strength, and there are so many coffins below, if you accidentally fall down, the whole body will fall into the coffin, which is too unlucky."

Zhang Yan, who was still looking at the bottom of the cliff in a daze, felt the gaze of the two of them, so he nodded dispensably, and followed Wu Xie and the others back to the fire.

The three of them emptied a can, put it on the bonfire, boiled some water, soaked some dry food and ate some chocolate, Wu Xie saw that the old man was tired, so he let him and Zhang Yan sleep for a while , He came to watch the fire, Zhang Yan shook his head, "Go to sleep, I'll guard the fire." Wu Xie nodded reassuringly after seeing that Zhang Yan did not show any signs of fatigue, and fell asleep with Old Itch.

Seeing that the two were completely asleep, Zhang Yan went to stand in front of the cliff again and stood silently for a while. When he came back, he took out the bronze branch of Old Itchy and took a closer look at it again. After contemplating for a long time, he quietly put it back as it was. He returned to his position and sat cross-legged, staring at Old Itchy again for a long time, before letting out a deep sigh.

When Wu Xie woke up, Zhang Yan was sorting out the packages, and Lao Xie was already piling and tying ropes. Wu Xie also stepped forward to help when he saw it. He wanted to help Zhang Yan's share, but Zhang Yan shook his head and said No need, Wu Xie, who immediately thought of Zhang Yan's skills, went to piling for himself silently. The difference between the king and the bronze is so obvious

When Wu Xie and Lao Tiao climbed down the cliff more than [-] meters high with flashlights and ropes, Zhang Yan was already waiting for them below.
