Tomb Raiders

This underground karst cave is colder than the cemetery above, and with wet clothes, Shen Liaobai was shivering from the cold, so he got up and walked around, warming his body with heat. This cave is spacious, and there is nothing but stones in sight. .Shen Liaobai measured the width of the cave with his steps and approached the cave wall.

Due to the reduction of water vapor, the moss on the cave wall here is much less, exposing the bare smooth stone wall inside.Shen Liaobai glanced at the stone wall, vaguely saw something on it, he moved the tent closer, half-closed his eyes and looked carefully.There seem to be traces of color painting on the stone wall, but with the passage of time, the traces have faded and are divided into several pieces covered by moss, and only a few thick strokes of color painting can be seen.

"Chu Yuyang, hurry up..." Shen Liaobai greeted, and stopped when he saw Chu Yuyang standing behind him. Chu Yuyang is the son of Lianjia, and he walked silently, and he didn't know when he would arrive. He came later.

Chu Yuyang has been staring at Shen Liaobai's figure since he left just now. Although no strange things have appeared in this quiet cave so far, it has not made him less vigilant. When he bent his waist to look at the stone wall, he came straight over.

"It's a mural." Chu Yuyang said.

It would be too strenuous to scrape off the moss with a dagger, so Chu Yuyang walked a little further before finding a relatively complete mural, which showed a person in a yellow Taoist robe holding a nine-section staff , holding a burning spell in the other hand, and in front of him, a group of civilians prostrated themselves and kowtowed to him.

The subsequent murals also depict the scene of the man in the yellow Taoist robe leading troops to fight and burning amulets to save people. In the murals, the role of this yellow Taoist robe is like a god descending from the earth. There is nothing he cannot do. The soldiers respect him, The people are in awe of him. In the last mural at the end, the yellow Taoist robe is lying in the coffin. Beside his coffin, there is a big green tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

"This is Zhang Jiao." Song Qiancheng also came over at this time, pointing to the man on the mural and said, "Look at the soldiers here, all of them are wearing yellow scarves on their arms. They are called the Yellow Turban Army in the world. Isn't their leader Zhang Jiao? , the murals here are praising Zhang Jiao’s deeds.”

Shen Liaobai smiled, "His deeds are really brilliant, but the ending is very lonely."

Song Qiancheng shook his head, and said: "Throughout the ages, no one in power can go out to meet people unless he rubs some rouge on his face to beautify it. Brother Shen's sympathy should be left to the real heroes."

Shen Liaobai glanced at him, saw that his expression was serious and did not seem to be joking, and was momentarily taken aback. Didn't Song Qiancheng say that he was going to the tomb for the sake of high officials and rich salary?But his tone just now clearly showed irony and contempt for those in power. Could it be that he has other plans?

"Dalang, why have you all come here?" Hanzhang turned back from the tomb passage in front, and happened to meet Chu Yuyang and the others.

Chu Jianyang pointed to the murals on the stone wall and asked, "Is there any situation ahead?"

Hanzhang explained the situation. There were three forks in the road ahead, and three circular caves, which should have been formed naturally. Then a skilled craftsman carved three arched stone gates outside the cave, and three arched gates. They are all wide open. I don't know if they were opened originally or opened by the previous wave of people.

The three stone gates, including the caves inside, are all exactly the same, and you can hear echoes when you throw stones in, so you are not sure which way is the correct way out.

Chu Yuyang followed Hanzhang to the fork in the road. The stone walls of the three caves had been decorated, and the ground was covered with bluestone slabs. The dim fire could not reach the end.

"What... what's the matter?" Shen Liaobai turned his head slightly, and saw Chu Yuyang staring at him without hesitation, he was a little hairy from those amber eyes.

"The map left by Shen Yingqing doesn't indicate which fork is correct," Chu Yuyang said, "But I suddenly thought of a way."

Shen Liaobai resigned himself to walking at the head of the team, but fortunately Chu Yuyang was walking beside him, at least giving him some courage.He never thought that his keen sense could be used in such a place.The cave was relatively deep, and he didn't feel anything after walking in it for a long time.

"Brother Shen, you don't feel well," Song Qiancheng complained, "Don't take us into the tiger's den then."

Hanzhang immediately glared at him and said, "If you don't like to leave, go out by yourself."

It was Chu Yuyang's decision to let Shen Liaobai explore the way. Song Qiancheng questioned Shen Liaobai was questioning Chu Yuyang, and Song Qiancheng was the one who bullied the weak and feared the hard.

"You still don't feel anything?" Chu Yuyang turned his head and asked.

Gentle breath brushed over his cheeks, Shen Liaobai blushed slightly, and said two steps away: "No."

Chu Yuyang lowered his head and rubbed his fingertips on Shen Liaobai's face lightly, "Your face is flushed, do you feel any tingling pain?"

His amber eyes were close in front of his eyes, and his long and curly eyelashes would have scratched his cheek any closer. The two of them were so close that Shen Liaobai could feel his face getting hot. Pulling away Chu Yuyang's hand in embarrassment, said: "No, it's just that I'm tired from walking and feel a little hot."

"Da Lang, look ahead..." Wen Hao said suddenly.

In the deep corridor, there seemed to be a pile of things piled up in the corner. When I got closer, I saw two corpses. One was relatively complete, and the clothes on it were still there, but the food bags and water bags were empty. Clutching his belly, he seemed to have died of starvation, while the flesh on the other body was torn to pieces.

Chu Yuyang squatted down to check the condition of the two corpses. Because the tunnel was dry, the two corpses did not rot, but were air-dried. It's been too long, but there is nothing on the body that can prove the identity, and it is not known whether it is two of the previous group.

"He... he won't eat his companion, will he?" Song Qiancheng yelled in horror, and ran to the side, covering his mouth and retching.

Shen Liaobai couldn't accept it, but he couldn't bear to let go of a clue to prove the identity of the corpse. If one of them was Yingqing, he didn't dare to think about it...

"It's not them," Chu Yuyang said, "It's been more than a month since they died, but they haven't grown much."

Chu Yuyang's cold eyes moved to Song Qiancheng's face, and asked: "Before my father, did anyone come down?"

Song Qiancheng was taken aback by his expressionless face, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I haven't been under the king's curtain for a long time, so how do I know these things?"

Chu Yuyang's expression was not good, his tone was still not kind, and he said, "Go on."

But this corridor is too long, you can't walk to the end, both ends are dark, you can't see clearly, Shen Liaobai also feels a little tired.

"Dalang, have we been away for too long?" Hanzhang asked.

Listening to Hanzhang's words, Song Qiancheng also thumped his legs and said, "Have we walked for at least two hours? My legs are going to be useless. Although this cave is long, it can't be longer than the main tomb above? "

Shen Liaobai also felt that something was wrong. Every brick in this cave looked the same, and there was nothing recognizable, so he didn't even know where he went. Turn back."

Chu Yuyang has already started to check the bricks and stones in the cave, and the dragon scales made a thick impact on the stone wall, "That is the illusion of the ghost baby. After we got the hallucination, we started to go back. It's just that the ghost baby is dead. The hallucination Impossible to show up again."

There shouldn't be another ghost baby. If the ghost baby gets close, Shen Liaobai will definitely feel uncomfortable.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something, and he raised the canopy forward. In the corridor ahead, there were the two corpses just now. The corpses couldn't walk, so it could only mean that they came back again.

Others obviously also saw the two corpses, and Shen Liaobai gasped.

"We won't be trapped here too, right?" Song Qiancheng murmured.

"Take a rest." Chu Qianyang said.

After speaking, he found a corner and sat down by himself. Although Shen Liaobai didn't want to disturb him, he was afraid that he would be hungry, so he walked over and handed him some dry food.

"Excessive emotions will affect judgment." Shen Liaobai said.

He could see that Chu Yuyang was a little nervous when inspecting the two corpses, and he must have been worried, but as the leader, especially at such a critical moment, if even he was emotionally unstable, they should What to do.

Chu Yuyang nodded, finished his dry food in silence, then got up and said, "Let's go."

Shen Liaobai glanced at the bonfire in his hand, the brightness remained unabated, logically speaking there was no danger ahead, but his heart was a little dull, probably because he was always looking at these blue bricks, and even his eyes would shake it took.After walking for a while, there seemed to be a corner not far away.

"There seems to be a bend ahead." Shen Liaobai said.

Chu Yuyang glanced at Shen Liaobai strangely, and then looked at the corridor in front of him, where there was no turning point.

Shen Liaobai was also stunned for a while, he ran to the corner just now, and now it is no different from other corridors, "But, but I did see it."

Chu Yuyang seemed to remember something, walked over and stood side by side with Shen Liaobai, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.Shen Liaobai didn't dare to disturb him, so he quietly waited aside, and the others didn't even dare to breathe.

Chu Yuyang walked slowly towards the stone wall with his eyes closed, raised the dragon scale, and pierced fiercely into the gap between the green bricks on the stone wall, pried the green brick out with all his strength, and then took Take out a yellow paper talisman and burn it with fire.

"What?" Shen Liaobai asked looking at the pool of ashes under his feet.

"I was negligent," Chu Qianyang said, "It's just a blindfold."

He turned around and walked to the side, only then did Shen Liaobai see that the wall next to him had disappeared at some point, revealing the turning point that disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Shen Liaobai looked surprised, and asked, "It's this talisman that keeps us going back and forth?"

"Well," Chu Yuyang nodded, "Don't underestimate this talisman, it takes a lot of time to draw it, and people who don't know it are likely to be trapped and die here, and finally starve to death, just like what we saw before like people."

Hanzhang gave Wen Hao a look, Wen Hao naturally understood, and Chu Yuyang's detailed answers to Shen Liaobai were more than what he usually said in a day.Wen Hao waved his hand gently, signaling Hanzhang to observe again.

The group was about to walk towards the corner, when Shen Liaobai suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and his skin also felt a slight tingling sensation. He looked at the same dark corridor, and the secret path was not good.
