Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother
Chapter 35: Trip to 4 Sichuan Rivers
I followed Wu Xie. It was okay at first, but later it became clear that the mistress had been through many hardships in the past, which had accumulated a lot of experience and practical skills for him. Although it is not as good as those professionals, it is still stylish and methodical.
On the other hand, when I reached the middle of the cliff, the terrain was a little complicated. I had to change ropes after climbing up for a while. I glanced down at the large green area and felt dizzy. Looking up, I feel that it is far away. Wu Xie in front of me has exchanged ropes three times and is working hard to move up.
I was in a trance, feeling how lonely I was alone and between heaven and earth.
The man's voice came from the walkie-talkie on his waist, which basically meant, you melon boy, don't seek death, climb up.
I continued to climb up and reached the top of the mountain nearly an hour later than Wu Xie. It was already dark, with only a ray of light on the horizon. The stars haven't come out yet, and the daytime scenery is obscured by blackness.
There is a "nest" on the cliff, made of steel bars, like claws, each of which can only accommodate a sleeping bag. We will sleep on it in the next few days or even weeks.
The next task is very simple and boring, which is to explore the caves on the entire cliff one by one to find the one that Huo Xiangu and the others entered. They said it should be completed within a week.
I tied a small purse around Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen's waist. It contained herbs that could repel mosquitoes and snakes.
In the morning, everyone started from the top and worked their way down one by one. Most of these caves are not deep, and many are cracks in the mountain. At the deepest point, they are only as big as the mouth of a bowl. In the whole process, I was of little use. Others were more or less capable, and I was just a brand new rock climbing rookie.
In many cases, the people in front of me have already entered the deep entrance of the cave, and I just step on the ground. I can't learn their way of descending that I think is lifeless. Going in was a drag, so I simply waited outside for them to come out.
"When we were snatching the jade seal, I didn't think he was so cowardly." Wu Xie said jokingly to Jie Yuchen.
Xie Yuchen deeply agreed.
Because searching at night is difficult and the unknown risks are high, today's mission is completed when the sun rises all the way. In the "nest" at night, Wuxie and Xie Yuchen expressed their opinions on those "style thunders".
To be honest, I don’t know anything about those things. Looking at the starry sky, I thought, it would be really miserable for a fan fiction protagonist like me. Huo Sisi's sentence, "There is no skill at hand" really hits the mark.
"Xiaokang, Xiaokang,...Wu Kang!" I woke up from my meditation, and Wu Xie's call came to my ears.
I dug my ears and said, "Listen. What's wrong?"
"You're taciturn when you go up the mountain. That's not like your character." Wu Xie complained, "You kid, are you holding back some bad news?"
I was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere continued to decline. When it was about to reach its lowest point, I sighed. "Sigh... Actually there is a secret that I originally planned to hide for the rest of my life."
The two of them waited attentively for the next step.
"I'm afraid of heights." After saying that, I looked up helplessly at the starry sky. Although I climbed the Hydra Cypress, it was at night and there was only a glimmer of moonlight. It was not as scary as it is now.
As soon as I finished speaking, Wu Xie struggled to get up from his sleeping bag, causing me to shake. You know, we are hanging in the air now. This thing is said to be imported from Switzerland. Who knows if it will? fall down.
"Brother! Brother! What are you doing?" I hugged my sleeping bag tightly and said hurriedly.
"Beat you!" Wu Xie said two words through gritted teeth.
Jie Yuchen laughed loudly on the side.
When we calmed down, I felt much more relaxed. In fact, at the beginning, Huo Sisi and I had different purposes from Lao Jiumen. Regarding this event, it seemed that we had more information, but it was actually a game with luck.
"Wu Kang, there are three copies of the book and picture of the Eight Formations of Wood Carving, but there is only one chance." Huo Sisi's words put the fate of Banai on me.
Even when Huo Sisi left, she specifically told me: "If something goes wrong, my aunt will skin you when she comes back."
I have no choice but to take this heavy "love" from the eldest lady seriously and review it every day.
Those three cracked diagrams correspond to the mechanism operations of the ancient building of the Zhang family in Banai. All doubtful inconsistencies have special marks and subsequent deductions. Huo Sisi went to the front to fend for the mine, and I stayed behind to prevent the mechanisms in the original book from being activated incorrectly.
To sum up, there is still a long way to go.
To everyone's surprise, they found the cave the next morning. After I entered, I immediately understood why they were so sure it was this one, because there were obvious traces of artificial reinforcement around it. The hole was only half a person high and was deeper than all the holes. But you can still see the bottom, and there is a skeleton wearing iron clothes inside.
Further inside is the cave entrance sealed by cement. The tools in hand are limited, so we can only use smashing, digging and mining methods.
"Has your mother-in-law told you about this situation?" Wu Xie looked at the cement in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Maybe it was the remaining group of people who did it." Xie Yuchen said, "If she wanted to accomplish something, she shouldn't resort to such tricks."
Digging deeper, the color of the cement inside changed, showing a dark red color with a yellowish tinge, much like rusty water. Wu Xie told me that Huo Xiangu's people encountered a huge change back then, so these might be blood. From the side, it means that we are in the right place.
Continuing to dig deeper, the color becomes darker and darker, approaching true red, until the corpse buried inside is revealed. It is a complete corpse that has not degraded. We have only dug out part of it, and more is still buried in cement.
These bones are covered with a layer of strange "hair", like mold.
Wu Xie pushed us away and said that these black hairs made him feel bad. Jie Yuchen put on his gloves, picked up the hammer, and struck the Tianling Cap twice, and then shined a flashlight inside. The entire skull cavity was filled with something like hair.
After digging, a second and third body immediately appeared. The head was also covered with dense "hair", and all the bones were hugged together.
Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen were discussing these things and the people who died here. I thought of the Pompeii ruins I saw on TV. The volcanic eruption made everyone's posture stay forever at the moment before death. The three corpses sealed by cement were also pushed and huddled together at the moment of death, trying to get a chance to live.
Jie Yuchen on the side guessed that these people were the second batch of people from the Laojiu Sect, but something suddenly happened.
Wu Xie pointed out the key point: "These people were pushing and pushing to get out before they huddled together. It doesn't look like they went in voluntarily. Why don't you think the old woman told us that this place is sealed?"
"I don't know, maybe she thinks it's not honorable or..." Xie Yuchen shook his head, "Well... she can't do this."
"Yes." Wu Xie nodded and said: "He didn't tell us. Obviously the only reasonable explanation is that she really didn't know. These bones, these people are not from Laojiumen. Damn it, Laojiumen left Later, another person came here, entered, triggered the mechanism, and was sealed here by the set cement. And it wouldn't be long, so the blood is red."
I looked at Wu Xie. This was the mistress in "Tomb Robbers Notes", a man who grew up rapidly in the face of hardships and dangers.
"Cement canning is not something that ordinary people can do. It is also a very large team. Some people are determined to die." Wu Xie said while looking at the cement and corpses inside.
"No matter what, we need to continue digging, and we must be careful about things related to "hair"." Xie Yuchen took the hammer and planned to continue.
Soon there were a few more skeletons, and then the back was full of rocks, endless rocks. It took three hours of digging to find nothing but rocks.
In fact, my attention was only focused on the digging action later. Suddenly, there was a "crash" and we finally dug through.
There were "hairs" all over the floor, fallen corpses and turtle shells, and earthen jars next to each other. Wu Xie said that those jars might contain human heads and insects.
"How do you think they got in back then?" Wu Xie asked, "You can't step on these jars, it's disgusting."
Jie Yuchen shined his flashlight on the wall and the roof of the cave, smiled at Wu Xie and said, "It's too easy for them to get in."
Then he performed a stunt, pulling out two arm-long sticks from the pile of packages and picking them up. When he picked up the stick and was about to take action, I held him back.
"You can't do this, you're still missing something." From my pocket, I took out a 50 ml bottle with a spray tip, which was filled with a colorless transparent liquid, and an unopened syringe.
"Mistress, please lend me your precious blood." As I said that, I tore open the outer packaging of the syringe, picked up one of Wu Xie's fingers, and pricked it.
"Can it be useful?" Wu Xie looked unconvinced.
I will squeeze his fingers and let those few drops of blood drip into the bottle. "Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."
"Why don't you get more? Will all this be useful? I bleed in bowls." Wu Xie looked at my bottle of liquid that didn't even change color and expressed doubt.
I took the small bottle in my hand and sprayed it at Xie Yuchen in a 360-degree circle.
"Cousin, don't worry, my brother is also a man who has obtained the treasures of heaven and earth. You know how to cut the unicorn and blood brown. My brother got it by pulling the belt of King Lu Shang's trousers." I sprayed and explained to the confused Jie Yuchen. Confused.
"Go fuck yourself!" Wu Xie's words caused an echo in the empty cave.
"Pull the waistband~~the waistband~~the waistband~~"
When he was ready, Xie Yuchen picked up the stick and suddenly pushed it forward on the ground, flipping up like a juggling act in the small space. Then he turned in the air and stepped on the cave wall on one side. Like a butterfly, it kept flying in the air and soon reached the other side of the cave.
Xie Yuchen shouted: "There is a cave inside, let me go in and take a look."
I held the bottle in my hand, squatted aside, and slowly approached the "hairs".
