Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

In a hole about ten meters high, I fell on my back.

The white coat jumped down immediately, gave me a sneaky glance, and walked past me humming a little tune.Looking at his virtue, I guess he was thinking about the last time I asked him for a tip.

Then another one came down, that handsome boy with a pretty face, patted me and pulled me up: "You didn't hurt from the fall, did you?"

I looked at the entrance of the ten-meter-high hole, and couldn't help but sigh, I'm not a praying mantis, if I come down from such a height and land on my butt, it won't hurt.

"It's lucky that I didn't fall and become disabled!" The voice in the white coat came from a long distance, and it sounded like a gust of evil wind blowing in the hollow.

The handsome boy probably looked at me pitifully, and gave me the flashlight: "Take this, and follow quickly. The tunnel is very complicated, and no one will come to you if you get lost."

The handsome boy is a good man.

As he said, the deeper you go, the more intriguing it becomes.

At the beginning, it was just a straight tunnel, with a steep downward slope, and the width could only accommodate one person walking. I followed the handsome boy, and had to support the cave walls on both sides with both hands to avoid diving down.

The others are obviously veterans, and they walk more steadily than me.

The handsome guy is called Zhang Rui, from Suzhou.

Su Hang's tone is as gentle as water, and I think he has a good temper, so I asked him about it.

It turned out that the tunnel they came in was dug when they came to detect the location of the tomb last time, that is, about a month ago, probably after the man in suit went to Tongbo to open the box.

I figured there must be something in the box that brought them here.

Originally they wanted to dig the robbery hole all the way to the ancient tomb, but they encountered metamorphic rocks on the way.The soil in the vicinity is very soft. They were worried that the robbery hole might collapse after digging to a certain depth, but they didn't expect that metamorphic rock suddenly appeared in front of them.

Most of the metamorphic rocks are crystalline and relatively hard. At that time, they only had equipment to prevent the cave from collapsing. They did not expect to dig such a rock formation. Instead, they did not have the tools to dig hard rocks. The robbers had to change the planned direction and bypass the metamorphic rocks. zone.

As soon as Zhang Rui said this, I saw that the tunnel suddenly turned to the left, and the slope changed from slanting downward to upward at an angle of [-] degrees.

We have been walking for about an hour in the first half, and in the second half I have to climb up. In addition to feeling sore and swollen in my calves, my head also started to hurt.

Zhang Rui said that this robbery cave will end in about half an hour, and the front leads to a bigger cave inside.That cave already existed, but it was not natural, but a rather large-scale tunnel with a long history. I don't know when and who dug it.

Speaking of it, this is also luck. It is precisely because the robbery changed the planned trajectory that such a large tunnel was discovered.

Tunnels are generally used for mining ore or for refuge. Zhang Rui expressed doubts, saying: "The tunnel layout is complicated, there are many forks, and it is like a maze. If it is a mine, the project is too big. If it is used for Those who took refuge, those who designed it really have ulterior motives, and people can definitely be trapped inside."

I nodded and followed closely, not daring to be distracted.

Writing about it is one thing, experiencing it is another.Although I have read a lot of miscellaneous things about tomb robbery, and my theoretical knowledge can make do, but it is completely useless in practice.

It was only after I got down into the ground that I realized that drilling a hole is not only physical work, but also psychological pressure.Being squeezed in a small space for a long time, the light of the flashlight can only illuminate a very small area.All I could see was Zhang Rui's back in front of me, sometimes approaching and sometimes far away, and the surrounding stone walls seemed to be pressing down on me at any moment. The air was thin and had a strong, cold earthy smell, and I felt uncomfortable after taking a breath.

I'm not sure if the people behind are following closely at this distance. Although I'm not a coward, it's the first time I've drilled such a deep cave, and I don't know if there are any safety measures for this kind of robbery.

Thinking that these people are going to rob tombs, it's hard to say how to deal with the dead. Although I don't have any beliefs, I would rather believe in the things in the world. In the current environment, I really feel that those weird things Things may really have.

I was frightening myself, my heart really trembled, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I didn't even have the courage to look back at the guy behind me.

Damn, reincarnate in the next life, I will definitely not be a gopher!

Fortunately, when I was about to reach the limit, I finally reached the exit of the robbery cave. I climbed out, and the space outside opened up a lot.

Only then did I know that seven people in front of me had already stood on the flat ground outside the robbery cave.I was the eighth one to climb out, and the oppressive feeling just now disappeared, and I felt a lot more relaxed.I took a deep breath, the air quality in the cave was much better than before.

Zhang Rui said: "We have reached the tunnel I told you just now."

I groaned, sighing how good it felt to be down to earth (because I just climbed out of the cave, I forgot that I was actually still in a bigger cave), and suddenly I was curious, why is the ground of this tunnel so flat?

I looked down at my feet.

Zhang Rui was right, this big hole could easily be judged to be a tunnel dug by hand, not a natural rock cave.

What we stepped on was actually a sidewalk paved with large stone slabs. Although the stone powder was thickly accumulated, we could see the traces of the splicing of these stone slabs. Obviously, such a road was specially paved on the edge of the cave to facilitate walking.

I shone a flashlight on top of my head. The cave was indeed very large, perhaps more than ten meters high. The beam of the flashlight gradually dimmed, and the roof of the cave was blurred.

There are water channels in the cave, the water level is about half a meter below the stone slab, and there are thin ripples on the water surface, which is running water.

Zhang Rui said before that the water may flow through the entire underground tunnel, because there are many forks in the tunnel, and it is not known where the main road is, so it is not known where the water flows in and where it goes.

A group of them brought sophisticated instruments, and they were piled up on the side of the stone road to measure the water level.

Tomb robbery was originally to make a living, and then it was archaeology.

Folk tomb robbery activities are generally for the treasures in the tomb.In the past, many people who had nowhere to go and wanted to make a fortune would dare to steal dead people's things to sell, so this business has only been closed for ten years, and it has been supported by one vote for ten years. "Tufuzi" originally referred to a group of people in Changsha who made a living by selling yellow mud. Later, because these people dug up ancient tombs, it gradually became a synonym for tomb robbers.

Tufuzi Daodou has its own way, and it is said that it is divided into its own factions, with its own rules and unique secret methods, and its tools are relatively simple and crude.And these people are obviously not like ordinary Tufuzi.

Their behavior is uncharacteristic.

It doesn't look like it's for the treasures in the ancient tomb, but it seems that they are just here to investigate and step on the site, and they are very careful in their actions.

But I think they are definitely not the archaeological team.

Before I entered the cave, I felt that these people were not young. Not only were they well-equipped with weapons, but they also brought a lot of high-tech caving equipment. Some of them seemed to be experts in geology, such as Brother Zhang. People in this category are quite polite and persuasive in their accent and tone, very similar to the kind of people who have a dozen qualification certificates in their hands and think they are very tall.

Maybe they all belonged to the men in suits, or they were hired by men in suits at all, which could explain why so many of them dared to blatantly camp in the mountains and make fires.

My thought at the time was that the men in suits and the others might be people with a lot of background. They hired this group of people to carry out tomb robbery activities, which is different from ordinary Tufuzi in order to touch a few priceless artifacts. They may have some special purpose .And these people are not necessarily dedicated to fighting.

I couldn't think of anything deeper, and my thinking was a bit confused.

At this moment, I don't have the strength to make any more fuss, so even if you give me a trick, I probably only have to watch it.

Zhang Rui looked down at me, as if he wanted to say something, and held back for a long time: "I don't approve of bringing outsiders in, and no one knows what will happen next, but what the boss says is what. Remember, the ancient tomb There are many dangers in Men Dunjia, but the most dangerous is the people around you, so you should take care of yourself."

I don't know what he meant by reminding me like that.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away, and I didn't have a chance to ask further questions.
