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

holy mountain

A group of people chatted and laughed, washed their feet and faces in the hot spring, and began to return warm all over.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, Fatty and Wu Xie found Zhang Yan from the camp tent, and they were completely relieved, while Ye Cheng and the others excitedly went to show off to Monk Hua, saying that the other party was envious, and a group of people were After dinner, Shunzi, Lang Feng, and Pan Zi started their shifts according to the previously set vigil arrangement. When it was Shunzi's turn, it was already early in the morning, and Pan Zi fell asleep quickly after finishing his shift.

Half a moment later, Monk Hua, Fatty, Lang Feng, and Pan Zi started snoring at the same time, one after another, like a symphony, and as the snoring became louder, Wu Xie soon woke up from a nightmare come over,

He glanced at the snoring noises in those tents one after another, sighed, and simply climbed out of his tent, and said to Shunzi who was watching the night, "I'll switch with you, I'll come for your shift, you go to sleep for a while."

Shunzi was smoking there by herself, staring at the huge black mountain under the moonlight in a daze.Hearing Wu Xie's words, he shook his head, "There's no need for the boss, I took your money anyway, it's too bad if I can't do this."

Then do whatever you want, Wu Xie didn't care if he was rejected by the other party, he just wanted to help out by the way because he couldn't sleep, so Wu Xie took out a pack of cigarettes to relieve fatigue, but when he opened it, he found that The cigarette case did not know when it was empty. Looking at the empty cigarette case, he looked through the rest of the bag. Sure enough, there was no cigarette left. Seeing this situation, he locked the suspect almost instantly. Wu Xie shrugged helplessly. The one who could do this kind of thing was either the fat man or the fat man under Zhang Yanzhi's command. Since the group of four got together, he had never smoked a cigarette again, and he was too lazy to borrow a cigarette from Shunzi. Pumping, while adding some fuel to the stove, we chatted with each other to relieve fatigue. The two chatted all over the world. During this period, Shunzi and Wu Xie talked a lot about local folk stories and customs, and Wu Xie also talked a lot about The stories and knowledge about the ancient tomb, the more they chatted, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.

Later, we talked about this expedition.At this time, Shunzi told Wu Xie frankly that he was a border guard for seven years, but he was a reserve soldier for four years. Before joining the army, he was a herbal picker, so he was very familiar with the snow-capped mountains, and his comrades called him "Alangcai" means the son of Xueshan.

"So boss, you can rest assured that you follow me. Like the mountains here, there are not many people who can bring people in. I am definitely one of them."

Wu Xie actually didn't believe this, after all, in his eyes, the tour guide was actually not reliable at all - a tour guide who could faint before tourists before entering the mountain, now saying this is bragging no matter how you look at it , but seeing what he said in a serious manner, Wu Xie, who listened to the story well, didn't need to tear down the other party's platform, so he just listened to what he said.

Chatting and chatting, the two felt that the distance between each other was getting closer,

At this time, Shunzi suddenly asked: "Boss Wu...Actually, what are you guys doing here, can you tell me?"

Wu Xie was taken aback. If he had been in the past, he would never have thought about the motives for others to suddenly ask this question, but now...

Wu Xie, who became vigilant almost instantly, smiled, and said calmly, "Why did you ask this suddenly? Isn't this like you?"

Shunzi smiled: "I'm just asking casually."

Wu Xie looked at him, smiled and asked, "By the way, didn't you say you were a herb collector before? Then why are you suddenly a tour guide now?"

Shunzi looked at Wu Xie, and said seriously: "I'm not a professional guide. I've been picking herbs since I left the army. It's rare to take people up the mountain a few times, and they don't go so deep. Usually, I turn back at Girl Lake. This is the first time I have brought a team in.”

woc, the first time? Wu Xie's smile froze immediately, and he almost vomited blood when he was blown up by Shunzi's words, and reluctantly said, "No way, stop joking."

Seeing Wu Xie's expression, Shunzi laughed again: "Really, Mr. Wu, let me tell you the truth, this season, no professional guide will take you into the snow-capped mountains. If I don't take you in, you have to come in by yourself."

Then he said seriously, "This place is really too dangerous. If it weren't for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, we would have died. It would be a miracle that we could get here without any shortage. But don't worry, although I never brought anyone in, But I have been there many times, I am very familiar with it, and nothing will happen.”

Wu Xie felt something was wrong, because when they came here, according to Zhang Yan's unsure of the truth, Shunzi might be his third uncle's candidate for a tour guide. If Shunzi's words were true, then At that time, no professional tour guide would take people into the snow-capped mountains, so why would Shunzi, a non-professional, dare to take them so happily?Is it really just because Chen Pi gave me a lot of money?Then what did he mean by asking that question before?Did he guess something?

Thinking of this, Wu Xie asked directly: "Since it's so dangerous, why are you still bringing us here? Is this the only money you need?"

Shunzi gave Wu Xie a meaningful look, and said softly, "Money is also a factor, and there is another reason... because my father, he... disappeared ten years ago, and he brought a group of people into the The snow mountain is similar to the route you are going to take, but in the end the whole group of people disappeared into the mountain. I vaguely remember that the few tourists who were looking for him at that time were very similar to your outfits. It was also in winter and very It is impossible to go up the mountain, so when I saw you, I suddenly felt that I must follow you. First, I don’t want you to die inside like my father. Second, I have a very naive idea. Maybe you entered the mountain The purpose is the same as that group of people ten years ago, so maybe I can know what happened to my father. Of course, this is just my imagination."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself mockingly: "Maybe my father was simply caught in an avalanche and buried in this snow-capped mountain."

ten years ago?People like them?Could it be related to his third uncle?

From the very beginning of the big golden tooth, the third uncle himself, to Aning, the old itchy, and then to Pan Zi, Chu Guangtou, these familiar line routines, hehe, Wu Xie, who has been thinking about these things upside down for a long time, suddenly Stopped talking, Shunzi saw that there was something wrong with Wu Xie's expression and kept silent, so he stopped and tried to remedy it, "Boss Wu, I think you are different from other people, so I told you these things, I hope you don't want to talk about these things." Speaking to other people, I'm afraid they will have concerns."

Wu Xie still didn't respond to Shunzi, but just looked at the other side fixedly, and asked softly, "Shunzi, tell the truth, is there someone who has already looked for you before us this trip?"

While talking, he carefully observed Shunzi's expression, and continued slowly, "Even, what else did you tell me?"

Shunzi was taken aback, looked at Wu Xie's almost determined eyes, and reluctantly said, "Boss Wu..."

"Shunzi, I'll only listen to it once, you can say it after you think it over..."

Shunzi looked at Wu Xie's serious expression that was obviously not joking, opened his mouth, but still didn't continue, but nodded, looked at the surrounding tents and said softly, "It's not convenient to say this here, you come with me"

Behind Shunzi's invisible back, Wu Xie, who was originally looking unpredictable, breathed a sigh of relief. It was not in vain that he had dragged Wang Meng to practice for so long. He originally wanted to use it to question his third uncle or Zhang Yan in the future. Yes, I didn't expect to use it on Shunzi first, and the bluffing effect seemed pretty good. He quietly rubbed his face, which could hardly hide his excited smile, and followed him in a serious manner. In the camp, Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly shot Opening it, he couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound of the two people walking away suddenly outside. He knew that the old fox agreed to change the conditions and only let him take care of Wu Xie. I still wanted to wait for Chen Pi and the others to spontaneously solve the possible hidden danger of Shunzi when I entered the underground palace, but now I was discovered by Wu Xie before entering the underground palace, which is a bit troublesome... I don’t know that What did the guy bring to Wu Xie.

Zhang Yan thought for a while, and suddenly felt that his plan might have to discount Wu Xie again and failed, but he still didn't go out to listen, but quietly changed the plan in his heart again without giving up.

After Shunzi stopped in the downwind corner near the camp, he said to Wu Xie who was following, "Since you have noticed, boss, I will tell you in advance that your third uncle did come to look for me and asked me to bring it to you." You say a word, and he wants to bring you in front of him, as long as he brings you in front of him, he can give me a lot of money."

Wu Xie thought for a while, and didn't rush to ask what he said, but said: "When did my third uncle call you? Please tell me the situation that day from the beginning." Because he was in such a hurry, he didn't even notice what he said now Already almost ordered.

Shunzi didn't care about Wu Xie's tone, instead he thought it was quite normal, "About a month ago, I was also taking guests up the mountain. Of course, I was not as good as you. I just walked around and looked at the snow-capped mountains. Your third uncle At that time, I was among those guests. Later, when I was staying overnight on the mountain, he called me out suddenly. He said mysteriously that he was going to go up the snow mountain by himself now, and told me not to tell anyone else. Let me ask for some money, let me wait for a man named Wu Xie at the foot of the mountain around this time, and then take you into the mountain, as long as I can bring you to him, I can give me a lot of money."

If Shunzi was not lying, then this matter was arranged a month ago, so early?Wu Xie had more doubts in his heart. Didn't it mean that the third uncle himself was the first to come? Why did he arrange for him a month ago?If he was sure that he would be caught, why didn't he take precautions in advance, or felt that the other party's strong defense might not be effective, so he arranged in advance to make second-hand preparations for himself?But why do you have to find yourself who is completely unqualified when you obviously have enough time to find other people?

Wu Xie, who couldn't figure it out, temporarily suppressed all kinds of doubts, and asked, "What did the third uncle ask you to tell me?"

Shunzi hesitated for a while, and then said, "Boss, it might be better to say this sentence after entering the underground palace. What he said was "this is the place where Xuanwu refuses corpses." He said that he would tell you this after entering the underground palace. know where it is”

Wu Xie was even more surprised when he heard that,

"Xuanwu Rejecting Corpse" is actually just a joke, that is, in Fengshui theory, it is the place where the worst Fengshui in the world is gathered. Not to mention that even if there is such a place, what they are going to is according to what Chen Pi said is the Eastern Xia Imperial Mausoleum, how can an imperial tomb be built in the place of "Xuanwu Rejecting Corpse", which is definitely a place with bad geomantic omen of?No layman would dare to come here.

Wu Xie then confirmed again: "He really said that and did he say anything?"

Shunzi thought about it carefully, and said, "No, at that time your third uncle seemed to be avoiding someone, so he was in a hurry. Your third uncle arranged for me to meet you in the village, take you into the mountains, and then just bring these few words However, he emphasized that as long as it is "you", you can understand it immediately. "

Wu Xie was dumb when he heard the words, but he didn't understand now, could it be because he didn't go anywhere?

But he still didn't understand, if there really would be the 'Xuanwu Rejecting Corpse' in the imperial tomb, then it would be no surprise that if it was buried here, the offspring would die, and the wife would steal someone. Big Enmity?It's just unbelievable...

Wu Xie couldn't help looking at the Three Sacred Mountains in the distance. According to the old man Chen Pi, the feng shui here should be extremely good. If this is the case, how could there be "Xuanwu rejecting corpses" inside? Wu Xie sighed silently in his heart, a little regretful I didn't pay attention to these things before, if I can understand some things now, maybe I will find something different?

In the end, he suppressed all kinds of ignorance and nodded, and continued to ask, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bachelor Shunzi said, "Because your numbers are different. Boss, I'm not stupid. Your third uncle told me about your numbers. He said that if the number is wrong, I can only pass the message on to you. When I saw you, I felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of your team. It seemed that there were two different people mixed together, and I was not sure what you guys were trying to do, so I had to pretend to be stupid first. After all, I accepted it. Other people's money, if you don't get it right, it's not good to delay you..."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Originally, I guessed what you guys were here for when I was in Xuebeng, but I didn't know that this time my body would be so uncomfortable and I would suddenly faint. The opportunity to chat with you alone, the boss, has never been mentioned, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, the boss, I just tested it and you guessed it.”

sharp?Wu Xie, who was obviously cheated and praised, but not happy at all, nodded silently, didn't continue to ask, but said to Shunzi who was looking at him, "Okay, let's go back first, the rest will wait." Let's talk about the location"

Wu Xie, who had no other thoughts about chatting at all, greeted Shunzi and returned to the tent to think about various issues. Amid the deafening snoring, Wu Xie finally fell asleep slowly. Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to have dreamed Ten years ago, Shunzi's father, a bearded Shunzi, led a group of people up the mountain, but the strange thing was that in his dream, he always felt that he had seen those people before, which made him toss and turn and sleep very badly. Practical.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone quickly packed up their luggage and started to continue their journey up the mountain.

In the snow-capped mountains, the further up the road, the more dangerous and difficult it is. A group of people can only carefully hit the sockets of their feet with long ice picks, as if they are walking in a minefield.

This time the fat man walked the fastest, because he had previous experience in snow exploration, so he walked all the way to the front to help clear the way, and because of the high mountain reaction, everyone's tongues began to go numb, except for Chen Pi A Si who accidentally changed the direction of travel , In the last four weeks, only the sound of panting was left, and the whole world was so quiet that it seemed that there was no life left.

After two hours, a group of people finally saw the location of the "Dragon Head Treasure Cave" that Chen Pi had decided on. It was a steep cliff almost at an acute angle of [-] degrees with the mountain, and it was covered with white snow.

From a small Fengshui perspective, the Little Sacred Mountain and the opposite Great Sacred Peak face each other far away, forming a valley in the middle, standing in front of the Sansheng Snow Mountain, like two guards guarding the gate. The mountain tiger sits on the dragon plate, swallowing everything, if it is not on the border of China and South Korea, there have always been disputes, this must be a place where the tombs of royal palaces and nobles gather.

Along the way, Wu Xie carefully observed with his three-legged cat's feng shui, and also saw that the strange trend of the mountains here bears a strong dragon spirit, so he is more confident in the hypothesis that there is a tomb on Chenpi Mountain, but Thinking of the other party with Shunzi last night, he was even more puzzled. After all, the accompanying mausoleums on both sides are so majestic, is it really possible that there will be Xuanwu rejecting the corpse in the middle?

Climbing a steep slope is different from walking, and the physical exertion is greater. Chen Pi Asi climbed for a while, but his physical strength reached the limit, and he could no longer climb. Lang Feng had to carry the Chen Pi on his back and continue walking. After hours of trekking, everyone finally boarded the snow slope. At this time, Wu Xie had completely lost his mind, and followed the fat man who had been pulling him along completely by conditioned reflex.

The fat man was the first to arrive, and his physical strength seemed to have reached his limit. After stepping on the snow above, he seemed to be a little out of his mind. He pretended to step on a footprint hard, then opened his hands and said: "This is for me personally. It's just a small step, but for Captain Mojin, it's a fucking leap." Then he lay down in the snow and remained motionless.

Wu Xie had almost collapsed at this time, his legs were involuntarily weak, and the other person who was not supported by the fat man immediately began to slide down. Pan Zi hurriedly tried to pull him up, but he couldn't use the strength after a few pulls. As a result, he also fell to the ground.

Zhang Yan looked at the upside-down situation, and silently stopped the action he originally wanted to pull people—he couldn't pull so many alone, so he just let them all rest upside down. He knocked hard on the snow, and then he got stuck, and the others fell to the ground like Wu Xie and others, panting heavily, while looking around in unison.

The Sansheng Snow Mountain is now on the left side of everyone. It is much, much closer than yesterday. The top of the Holy Mountain is covered with white snow. The mountain peak became steeper. Due to the setting sun, a strange light blue mist enveloped the entire mountain.

Wu Xie, who was originally confused and confused, felt a lot more comfortable looking at the scenery. He immediately wanted to take out his camera and take a picture of the scenery here. At this moment, the fat man suddenly patted him and motioned Wu Xie to look at it. He pointed there,

Wu Xie looked in the direction his finger was pointing at. Not far from Zhang Yan who was still standing still, Zhang Qiling, who hadn't given anyone a reaction from the start again, had already knelt down and turned towards Zhang Yan. Looking at the Sansheng Snow Mountain in the distance, he bowed his head very respectfully.

There was a faint, very sad expression on the originally expressionless face.

Zhang Yan stood quietly behind Zhang Qiling, quietly watching this scene that he didn't know how to describe, involuntarily touched the lanyard of the sword hilt, and silently turned his head away.
