[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

The moment Zhang Haiqing and Zhang Yuetong fell, Nan Xing saw the hole in the tree trunk close instantly.

She pressed her wounded palm against the tree trunk again, and the blood oozing from the wound quickly spread along the texture of the tree trunk, like half of the hair was woven into a fine and dense net on the tree trunk. Immediately afterwards, Nan Xing His feet were empty, and he fell into the hole that opened again on the trunk.

This is an entrance that can only be opened with unicorn blood.

Whether it is the kylin picture formed by the shyness of the tree crown, or the way the entrance is opened, it is inseparable from the unicorn. So, is the secret hidden inside also related to the Zhang family?

After about three seconds of free fall, the environment below suddenly brightened.

Nan Xing caught a glimpse of the interlaced tree roots at the end, and the dense orange light sources flickering on the tree roots.

Through the light, Zhang Haiqing and Zhang Yuetong could be seen getting up from the ground.

The moment Nan Xing passed the tree roots, the light sources parked above flew up one after another. Nan Xing stretched out his arms and firmly grasped one of the tree roots, which was as thick as a hand. stand still.

The light sources on the tree roots also flew down with her and surrounded her. At this time, Nan Xing was able to see clearly that these orange light sources were butterflies with glowing wings.

"Nan Xing, you are like a fairy..." Zhang Yuetong looked at Nan Xing, with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Fairies don't do such things as digging graves, they will be expelled from immortality." Nan Xing walked towards Zhang Yuetong and Zhang Haiqing, and at this moment, he noticed that Zhang Haicheng was sitting on the ground against the wall.

Seemingly aware of Nan Xing's gaze, he looked up at Nan Xing with surprise in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to find a way to open the entrance."

"You mean, did you fall down by accident?"

Zhang Haicheng looked at his fingers and said, "I tried to get the mechanism out of the tree trunk, but accidentally cut my fingers and then fell off."

Zhang Haiqing noticed the unwilling look on Zhang Haicheng's face, so she comforted her, "Sometimes luck is also a part of strength."

Zhang Haicheng looked at Zhang Haiqing and smiled self-deprecatingly, neither agreeing nor denying it.

Nan Xing looked around, it was a space similar to the front room, except for the tree roots hanging from above, there was nothing else.

The top and the bottom of the feet are made of granite, and the surrounding walls are covered with a layer of white ash, but it can still be seen that the walls are made of tomb bricks, with a length, width and height of about four meters, and pictures of the four gods are painted on all sides.

The east wall is painted with a green dragon; the west wall with a white tiger; the south wall with a red bird; the north wall with basalt.

This is a very conventional tomb mural, and there is no element about the unicorn.

"Did you find anything during your stay here?" Nan Xing turned around and asked Zhang Haicheng.

Hearing this, Zhang Haicheng stood up from the ground, touched the wall behind him, groped for a while on the mural with the green dragon, and suddenly exerted force with his fingers to pinch a tomb brick, pulled half of the tomb brick out of the wall, and followed As soon as the hour hand turned, a door actually opened on the wall.

"There are secret doors on all four walls here, and there are tomb passages connected to each of them. After a while, there will be a fork in the tomb passage. I just tried to enter through the Qinglong door.

When I walked to the back, I found that every time I passed a fork, there would be one more fork in the next branch, and the further back, the more forks.Moreover, there is only one correct way, and the others are dead ends. "

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Haiqing asked.

"Because there is only one road without a mechanism. Moreover," Zhang Haicheng paused while speaking, and his gaze swept around the faces of the three people, "the mechanism inside is becoming more and more secretive, and at first it can be found out through the use of Faqiu fingers." , in the future, there is no trace at all, it can be said that the setting is seamless, as if it grew in this land."

As Zhang Haicheng said, he picked up his package, and saw that the package had signs of being burned and holes pierced by sharp objects. "I used the package to test the mechanism a few times later, and found that it didn't work."

"Why doesn't it work?" This time it was Zhang Yuetong who had doubts.

Nan Xing took up the conversation, "Because, what triggers the mechanism later is no longer the change of weight in the tomb passage, or the sound, but other methods."

"Yes. And at that time, I heard the voices of Haiqing and the others in the direction of the entrance, so I went back the same way to check. You know what happened next."

"Now that everyone is here, let's continue from where you stopped just now." Zhang Haiqing suggested.

"Follow me." Zhang Haicheng said and stepped into the secret door.

The three of Nan Xing followed in.

The tomb passage inside is more than three meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a floor.After entering, the secret door behind you will automatically close.

Without the light on the butterflies, it was pitch black inside.

The four played a fire, and Zhang Haicheng led the way.

After walking for about 10 minutes, we reached the first fork in the road.

Nan Xing stopped to observe.

There is no obvious difference between the two forks. If you probe with your fingers, you can feel the small echo of the transmission mechanism under the tomb bricks.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to feel it, but the Zhang family trained their fingers with extremely sensitive peripheral nerves, and the transmission mechanisms of the small organs in the tomb passage can be distinguished by touching the surface of the tomb bricks.

Besides this, Nan Xing also noticed that the two forks were marked with a number, 3 and 4 respectively.

"There will be one at every fork," Zhang Haicheng said from the side, "and there will be new numbers in the end, which is like a number for each road."

"In this way, we don't have to worry about ghosts hitting the wall, and we can know whether we have circled in place by looking at the number." Zhang Haiqing said.

"If it's just a number, then this number will point out the way for the tomb robbers, and the owner of the tomb won't be so overwhelmed." Nan Xing shook his head.

"Go on, I haven't discovered the pattern of this series of numbers so far." Zhang Haicheng walked into the fork on the right as he said.

As described by Zhang Haicheng, there are more forks as you go back. When you reach the place where Zhang Haicheng stops, there are already nine forks, not only the difference between the left and the right, but also the forks that go straight down.

"I used a package to eliminate half of the forks." Zhang Haicheng counted them one by one, "The mechanisms inside these forks are fire, hidden weapons, corrosive liquids, and metal cutting lines tightened from all sides. .”

"But for the remaining ones, I threw the package over there, and there was no response at all." Zhang Haicheng said, and threw the package into one of the side roads, and waited for a few seconds, but there was no response.

Then, he took a few steps into the fork, and then quickly jumped back, only to see that the package was cut into pieces by the extremely thin wire that was almost invisible to the naked eye in an instant.

The silk thread was chasing Zhang Haicheng at an extremely fast speed, and it was about to catch up.

If he catches up, Zhang Haicheng will be cut into diced meat.

"Hold out your hand!" Nan Xing stretched out his arm to Zhang Haicheng.

Zhang Haicheng moved his hand forward with all his strength, Nan Xing grabbed his wrist and pulled him back with all his strength, pulling him back to the fork with lightning speed.

At this time, the silk thread also just caught up with the fork in the road, and cut off a piece of the sole of Zhang Haicheng's lagging foot.

Immediately afterwards, the silk thread disappeared at the fork.

"You see, someone has to pass by to trigger the mechanism." Zhang Haicheng's sole was cut off, and his center of gravity was a little unstable when he stood up. "The other few must be in the same situation. No matter how many more of us there are, it won’t be enough to die.”

"It's cold here. Is it possible that the mechanism is triggered by people getting hot after entering?" Zhang Yuetong asked.

"I've also thought about this possibility." Zhang Haicheng said and threw the fire bag in his hand into the sidewalk.

The mechanism didn't start until the fire was burned out.

"Not for that reason."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed, Zhang Haicheng, Zhang Haiqing and Zhang Yuetong all leaned aside and remained silent.

If there is no way to move on, then they will return empty-handed this time.At that time, they will be kicked out of the family, and it will never be possible to go back.

"The air in the fork is very dry, and the moisture is absorbed." Nan Xing stood at the fork, pointing to the black bamboo charcoal inlaid on the top of the fork and the wall, "The bamboo charcoal on it can absorb the hydrogen sulfide emitted by human skin, Thus triggering the organ."
