Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Not long after we went up the mountain, we climbed a section of slope.

I have seen this ramp in the video, and the geese also went to the tomb through this place.

Zhang Ruigang said that this place should not be far from the destination, and the independent school suddenly started to run like oil on the soles of their feet.The old man was so excited, we all were shocked and hurried to catch up.

A stone forest suddenly appeared on the ramp.

The natural stone pillars about five or six meters high rose up one by one, in a patchwork pattern, as if someone had carefully piled them up here to form a maze.

The outer area of ​​the stone forest is relatively sparse, and the more you go to the center, the denser the stone pillars, and the distribution becomes more and more messy and disorderly.

At the beginning, I didn’t pay attention to it. When the white coat suddenly pointed to a stone pillar and exclaimed that it was engraved with paintings, we realized that the remnants on the stone pillars we thought were actually weathered reliefs. Its original appearance is now unrecognizable.

But the Dumen Du faction obviously knew about it a long time ago, saying: "The stone forest here was originally used for sacrifices, and it was called the 'Wangmu Terrace'. Pay attention to the reliefs on the stone pillars, which are originally 'salamanders'."

I didn't understand the pronunciation of that word at all, so I asked, "What is 'salamander'?"

The Dumen Dupai stroked his beard with a serious expression: "When it is said that 'salamander' is the Queen Mother of the West, it is a monster in the "Shan Hai Jing"."

I repeated this word several times, and it sounded familiar when I read it. Thinking about it again, I was shocked: "Zhang Rui, do you know that in King Ming's tomb, there are ghouls in some coffins, and that thing is called 'salamander'!"

Zhang Rui glanced at me from the corner of his eye: "This is what Young Master Long told you, he is really familiar with this thing."

I deliberately avoided mentioning the incense burner, but Zhang Rui pointed it out. Obviously he knew that I couldn't see the ghoul in King Ming's tomb, so he knew it was a "salamander".And what he meant was that there is a relief of "salamander" on the sacrificial platform here in Huangyangchuan, and the incense burner knows this kind of ghoul called "salamander" best, because he is the owner of the tomb!

"Since this kind of "salamander" also appeared here, does it mean that the tomb here has something to do with the tomb of King Ming?" I muttered.

The Independent Faction frowned and remained silent, but Zhang Rui said, "This is the tomb of the ancient Dian Kingdom. Young Master Long knows that the bronze knife can activate the mechanism of King Ming's tomb. The bronze knife is probably dug out from here. There must be a relationship between the two." Contact. Do you still remember the boy with a knife that Xiao Zhao mentioned?"

This happened on the way to the Shen family's ancient house. I told Zhang Rui the details, so of course I remember.

I said to Zhang Rui: "You think the incense burner has lived for more than 20 years without getting old. Even so, do you still want to say that he is Shen Qianjiu's apprentice? He has lived since the Ming Dynasty to the present?"

"...sword." Zhang Rui pronounced the word in a calm manner, "Is it just a coincidence that the ghost-slaying knife you left with me and the long knife that the boy carried? Since Mr. Long is Millennium Zongzi, it is not surprising that they lived for thousands of years, but the Ming Dynasty is only a few hundred years old, so what is it?"

"Does the 'thousand-year rice dumpling' you refer to have any special meaning?" I said sharply, "I know what a rice dumpling is, but is there a rice dumpling like him that is no different from a living person? He has flesh and blood, and has the body temperature of an ordinary person." , will be injured and bleed, I really can't see how the incense burner looks like a rice dumpling!"

After talking, I couldn't help complaining.But Zhang Rui seemed to have full confidence and was not wavered by my words at all.

"'Thousand-year Zongzi' is just a saying, and we have never seen anyone who can live that long. Why does this happen, I want to know the reason just like you." Zhang Ruidao, "According to my guess, it is because of King Qi Ming. Knowing him is the only way to have the bronze mechanism in the tomb, because Young Master Long is Shen Qianjiu's apprentice, he lived in that era, and if this assumption is established, everything can be explained."

These interlocking speculations are closely connected and seamless. No matter how much I try to defend the incense burner, I can't find words to refute it.

If the incense burner is Shen Qianjiu's apprentice, King Qi Ming once invited Shen Qianjiu to the mansion as a guest, and he must have seen the incense burner during the period, everything is logical and reasonable.

Things that were originally fragmented seem to be connected because of this.

However, there is one most critical problem standing in front of us.Can the incense burner really make you live forever?

Do I have to admit that he is the boy who beheaded the whole village and his hands were stained with blood?

The Ghost Slaying Knife was not used to exorcise demons and kill ghosts, but it had killed countless people?

My incense burner was once a heinous murderer?

I buried my head in my walk and kept silent.

A deep pit appeared in the stone forest, and the white coat squatted by the pit and lit a cigarette: "Old man, the stone forest here is so eye-catching, and the pit was dug recklessly, you can see that there is a problem here from a distance, his mother Yes, don’t say that the National Archaeological Team didn’t send anyone to take care of it.”

"The pit was originally dug by the archaeological team!" said the independent school.

"Ah? We've dug them all. Why didn't we dig the tomb below and keep it for us to take advantage of?"

"They didn't dare to move," said the independent sect. "The tomb below is connected with no less than ten evil holes. The atmosphere of the earth is fierce, and the tomb-slayer beasts can also grow evil spirits. Who would dare to dig it out at the expense of their lives? The archaeological team Compared with us desperadoes who are afraid of death! So this huge tomb is left unattended, and only those who are brave enough dare to collapse."

The white coat exhaled and said, "Tsk tsk, whose tomb dares to be buried in such an unlucky place."

A Zang said: "Perhaps in the eyes of the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom, this is a good place for burials."

The white coat nodded: "Well, their king has the foresight. How many tombs have been demolished, but no one dares to demolish their tombs even if they know about them."

A Zang joked: "So you can raise a thousand-year-old zongzi?" When he said this, he glanced at me.

Zhang Rui didn't say anything, and the first person jumped into the pit: "Come down, stop talking nonsense and work."

Among us, the Sudoku school is the most experienced, so it is natural for him to do acupuncture.

While he was busy with the work in hand, he was not idle at the same time, saying that because no one was in charge of the tomb here, the fighting was unscrupulous, and many people went in and visited it.When the Dumendu faction went down, they found that there were at least [-] robbery holes nearby, which were made by different people. Instead, because of these random robbery holes, a labyrinth was formed underground.He once happened to be connected to another burglar hole when he was digging a burglar hole, and that burglar hole was connected to other burglar holes, and he almost lost his direction when he went around.

But one advantage is that we don't have to worry about triggering any anti-theft mechanism when digging a hole.

The unique positioning, Zhang Rui and the white coat took turns digging with a shovel, A Zang asked if explosives were needed, it was simple and labor-saving, and the unique waved his hand and said no.Sure enough, the old man's location was above the robbery hole he had dug earlier, and after digging five or six meters down, there was a ready-made robbery hole.

When everyone was digging into the hole nimbly, I grabbed the independent sect and said, "Master, are you sure it's the robbery hole you dug earlier?"

The independent sect is confident: "How can the old man not recognize the hole he made by himself?"

"But didn't you say that there are more than 20 such robbery holes nearby?"

"Everyone has their own technique, the old man is called the unique school, and the technique is of course different!" The unique school touched the wall of the cave, "Look, apprentice, the width and height of this hole, the master, have been accurately calculated, and the error is within one or two inches. Inside, the left and right grains face inward, and the upper and lower grains face outward, that's the way to shovel... huh?!"

The voice of the unique sect paused, and his face suddenly changed. We can all see that he seems to have noticed something strange.I thought to myself, I won't be guessed right by Lao Tzu, right? !The white coat hurriedly asked: "Master, what's the matter!"

"No, this hole is not an old craft." Unique said.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master, didn't you just say with certainty that you made this hole?"

The independent sect shook his head: "No, no, this is obviously someone imitating the old man's technique... No, it's a trap!"

As soon as he yelled that it was terrible, there was a rumbling sound behind us, and the white coat yelled: "Damn it, someone blew up the entrance of the cave and tried to suffocate us inside!"

Zhang Rui looked back and said, "You can't stay here, go ahead!"

The entrance of the cave was bombed, and debris was poured in along the hole. If we stayed where we were, we might be buried in the soil after a while.

So everyone hurriedly quickened their pace, and they had no choice at the moment. Even if they knew that this robbery hole might be a trap, they had no choice but to climb along it.

Slowly the surroundings became quiet, and the hole came to an end, and there was a fork in front of him. He pointed and said, "Left." At the same time, Zhang Rui also pointed, and said, "Right."

The two looked at each other and expressed their insistence on their judgment.

Zhang Rui was originally an apprentice brought out by an independent school, but at this time he had a disagreement with his master, which was really unexpected.

The white coat resolutely leaned towards Zhang Rui: "I'll be the master."

I was dumbfounded, I haven't made up my mind yet, but I can see that Zhang Rui has the upper hand if he votes on the scene.

Unexpectedly, Ah Zang moved to the independent school: "I agree with the experience of the master, go to the left."
