Tomb Raiders

Chapter 48 The Second Kiss

This is undoubtedly the mark left by Shen Yingqing. He directly marked the object that opened the tomb passage leading to the main tomb, but the problem appeared again.This gold seal is very delicate. The seal is in the shape of a dragon curled up. The dragon's head, tail and two feet are placed on the four corners, as if flying fast. The dragon's head, tail and two feet point to the four directions of up, down, left, and right respectively. Depending on the location, other organs may appear.

Hanzhang stroked his chin and said, "Why didn't Shen Yingqing mark the direction clearly? It's like giving you a pie for nothing and telling you that you can only look at it but not eat it."

Qin Zhaonan pressed his fan against his chin, and his expression was quite distressed, "He probably thinks that if the people who follow here can't even solve the small trap, they will kill themselves if they go down, it's better to let them go home directly , save a life."

"Our patriarch is well-informed and knowledgeable. With the help of the patriarch, he is naturally at ease. This kind of small mechanism is naturally not a problem." Hanzhang said, with a slightly contemptuous look on his face.

Qin Zhaonan chuckled twice, and said, "Why don't you trust your Dalang?"

"I didn't mean that," Hanzhang was stunned, his neck was stuck, and he showed a rare appearance of being at a disadvantage, and said firmly: "Qin Jun, don't talk nonsense, if Dalang really misunderstood it, what should we do?"

The two of them were talking to each other, but Shen Liaobai was still looking down at the mark of gladiolus. This mark was outlined with only a few strokes, and the engraving was quite sloppy. It should have been done hastily. No matter how carefully you observe, there is nothing special about this other than an ordinary mark, but anyway, this proves that Shen Yingqing has indeed been here, and Shen Liaobai and the others are following the right direction.

Shen Liaobai turned his head and glanced at Chu Yuyang, seeing that Chu Yuyang was contemplating with his eyes closed, not caring about the noise around him, Shen Liaobai swallowed back the words that came to his mouth for fear of disturbing him, But seeing Chu Yuyang suddenly raised his eyes, with his usual calm expression, he stretched out his hand to hold the golden seal.

All the sounds stopped for a while, and the three of them locked their eyes on Chu Yuyang's hand holding the golden seal. Chu Yuyang's fingers were slightly closed, and the palm was pressed down hard, only to hear a 'click', half The gold seal is submerged in the wooden boards under the display rack.At the same time, the entire tomb was shaken violently, and the dust on the top floor fell down, causing several people to cough.

There was a dull rubbing sound in the tomb, and when the dust dispersed, everyone saw that behind them, half of the wall had been removed, revealing the arched tomb passage at the back. This tomb passage was only about ten steps long, and then turned a corner Bend, I can no longer see the situation behind me clearly.

Qin Zhaonan rubbed his red and swollen eyes due to the dust and asked, "Chu Yuyang, how did you figure it out?"

Chu Yuyang glanced at him and said, "How should the seal be used?"

Qin Zhaonan suddenly realized that Chu Yuyang just repeated the action of stamping the seal.This gold seal is small and exquisite, supplemented with a dragon shape, it is likely to be the king seal of the king of Nanyue. Since he put the king seal here as a mechanism, he would not be so stupid as to mark the four directions for future generations to choose. To put it simply, the direction indicated by the head and tail of the dragon is just a blindfold. Thinking of this, Qin Zhaonan cupped his hands towards Chu Yuyang and said: "Mr. Chu is talented, and Qin admires him."

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, and said coldly: "If you weren't patronizing the bickering, you should be able to see it."

Qin Zhaonan covered his face with a fan and said with a guilty conscience: "Let's go in quickly."

At that time, Wen Hao had woken up from the shock, his cheeks had returned to color, and his spirit was much better than before. He drank some water, but his body was still a little weak, but he was fine. Ailments dragged down Chu Yuyang's itinerary, Hanzhang put his hand beside him to support him, followed Qin Zhaonan into the tomb passage, Shen Liaobai and Chu Yuyang were in charge of breaking the rear.

As soon as Shen Liaobai's back heels stepped into the tomb passage, half of the wall behind him closed at an extremely fast speed, and the loud sound startled him. He knocked on the sealed wall with a tight and muffled sound. It is a pure bluestone brick, even with tools, it cannot be broken easily.However, they probably wouldn't go back the same way, otherwise they would encounter the group of human skin figurines in the hall again. Without the torches, they would have another hard fight.

There are also cave grasses growing in this tomb passage, no matter in quantity or size, it is not as good as that in the front hall, and solitary palm-sized leaves stretch out from the dirt on the wall, and the light is much smaller.Turning the corner and walking a little further, they entered another tomb.

The specification of this tomb is very special, it is in the shape of a dish, except for two roads paved with bluestone slabs and bricks in the middle, the rest is all natural soil. Shen Liaobai squatted down and touched the soil, it was very loose and a little wet Smelling the vague moisture in the air again, could it be that there is a source of water ahead?

The source of water in the tomb may be to prevent the gas from flowing out easily, but how to explain the loose soil?Was it built in a hurry so some parts had to be perfunctory?You can see the bluestone slabs under the feet, and you can still see the exquisite bat patterns on them, and the four walls of the tomb are also polished to be very smooth. It should not be a matter of rushing time. In the end, there is only one explanation left. This is how the tomb was designed. .

It is strange to say that, every inch of land in the royal tomb has been beautifully decorated by craftsmen, why this tomb was left alone, with the soil exposed and exposed?But now is not the right time to think about this issue. In addition to the soil all over the floor, this tomb has a high platform on both sides of the two aisles. In terms of scale, it is much smaller than the one in the previous hall.

"Hanzhang, accompany Wenhao below, Liaobai and I go up to the high platform on the left, and call Nan to go to the other side." Chu Qianyang said.

Qin Zhaonan was used to this unfair way of forming a team, so he walked to the high platform on the right before Chu Yuyang gave orders.

The stairs on the high platform are winding, and the railings are made of luxurious white jade, with exquisite patterns carved on them. When Shen Liaobai climbed to the top of the high platform, he finally understood why the ground was covered with soil, because there was a deep pit at the top of the high platform. A tree was planted in it.

"This... this..." Shen Liaobai pointed to the tree which was only as tall as his knees and was speechless in surprise.

The tree in front of me has a trunk only the size of a fist, and its shape is no different from the trees outside. The strange thing is that the whole body of this tree is black, and the trunk and branches are cracked and cracked like they have been burned.Chu Yuyang took a look, and went down from the high platform again. When he came back, he brought a few leaves of Cave Grass in his hands. He took the leaves close to the gap in the tree trunk and took a photo. Sure enough, he saw the emerald green spot in the gap.

"This is exactly the same as the branch that Yingqing left in the mansion, is that why he came here?" Shen Liaobai said.

Chu Yuyang squinted his eyes and said, "I thought the branch was just a clue, so it seems that there should be a deeper meaning."

"In the ancient border of South Vietnam, there is a deep mountain hidden, which is the place where immortals live, surrounded by Liquan, and in the place where the vitality gathers in Liquan, there grows a scorched immortal tree. If mortals touch it, they will be attacked by immortals. Punishment." Shen Liaobai murmured and repeated what Meng Lian had conveyed at that time, "In the mural I saw in Zhang Jiao's tomb, a man handed a branch to Zhang Jiao, and then he turned into a monster... "

Chu Yuyang said with a sullen face: "From the current point of view, the connection between Zhang Jiao's tomb and Zhao Tuo's tomb is that both of them have the same branch in their tombs. The difference is that Zhao Tuo's tomb is a whole tree, while Zhang Jiao's tomb Jiao only owns a small branch. Shen Yingqing probably came into contact with the branch when he entered Zhang Jiao's tomb, something must have happened, so he had to come here to find a solution."

"You mean, Yingqing has also become a monster like Zhang Jiao?" Although Shen Liaobai tried his best to restrain himself, Shen Liaobai's voice still trembled uncontrollably. This was the last thing he wanted to mention. Lian had mentioned it before, but he didn't take it to heart, or he subconsciously kept this possibility in his heart and didn't want to think about it, but the current situation forced him to face the fact.

"Liao Bai, calm down," Chu Yuyang patted his cheek and said, "Things may not be as bad as you think. Didn't you say that Shen Yingqing also has the same tattoos as you? Besides, since he can come here, Proof that he should be fine."

Shen Liaobai sighed: "But the letter he sent home earlier, and the words left at the exit, all indicate that he seems to be in danger of his life."

"If he turns into a monster like Zhang Jiao, do you think he can still send letters to his family?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Those amber eyes looked at him gently, and Shen Liaobai saw his pale face in his eyes, like a ghost, Shen Liaobai was still immersed in the fear of his younger brother's life, and murmured: "You Do you still remember that I told you that Zhang Jiao might still have some IQ? The way he looked at me at that time, he..."

His next words were completely stuck in his throat, because Chu Yuyang directly kissed his lips, he could only see Chu Yuyang's beautiful pupils in front of his eyes, and his mind was blank, he just stared like this With eyes closed, he froze in place stiffly, until Chu Yuyang let go of him, he still maintained a half-kneeling posture and stayed in place.

Chu Yuyang squeezed his chin in a funny way, brushed his fingertips lightly at the corner of his lips, and said, "Take a breath, are you going to suffocate yourself?"

Although it wasn't the first time he kissed Chu Yuyang, but the previous two times were all because of breathing in the water for him, and it was the first time that he kissed Chu Yuyang lightly in such a sober state.There was still a warm heat on his lips, Shen Liaobai felt all the blood rushing to his cheeks, "You... what are you doing..."

Why did you kiss me? He was stuck for a long time and couldn't say it completely. Nothing could make Chu Yuyang feel more relaxed than the current situation. He coughed lightly and patted Shen with a serious look. Liao Bai's cheeks said: "If I don't do this, according to your stubborn temper and penetrating nature, you won't give up if you don't want the worst result."

"Okay...it seems like this, no...no, that's not what I meant." Shen Liaobai couldn't imagine his embarrassment now, if there was a crack in the ground, he really wanted to hide in it for a while.

Qin Zhaonan in that room had already finished checking, and saw that there was no movement on their side, so he climbed up to the high platform on their side, and said in surprise, "Hey, why is it also such a tree?"

The author has something to say: On why Chu Xiaogong suddenly kissed Liao Bai...Of course it was because he couldn't help it! ! !Can't bear it!
