Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Li Qiu didn't dare to look back, and ran fast in the dark with his luggage on his back. Ah Jiu and the first weirdo went somewhere, and they couldn't meet under the current situation.These eccentrics are very familiar with the empty mountain woodland, but Li Qiu slipped every step of his run, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the hill with dense vegetation, that guy actually ran on all fours.Li Qiu forced himself to settle down: wearing a human suit, covered in animal hair, knowing how to pretend to be dead to lure the enemy, and having beast-like fangs... It's actually not difficult to guess what these strange people are.

The question is why such weirdos appear here and attack them?Li Qiu's mind was thinking quickly, the flooded Buddha's knees, the unknown mountain fire, and the existence of that Buddha jade, all the information pointed to one purpose: it was buried at their feet, the Longmen Buddha's tomb.

The next question is...

Li Qiu reached behind his back and took out a big and round apple from his backpack - the breakfast he had originally prepared for Ah Jiu.

"Thank you for letting me separate from Ah Jiu, and chasing me here again. This is a little thank you for you."

Li Qiu slammed on the brakes, and the strange man who was following him head on. When he stopped like this, the running strange man also cautiously stopped on the spot. Li Qiu followed Ah Jiu's example, first weighed the apple twice in his hand, and then smashed the apple hard at the strange man.

The weirdo didn't take advantage of the situation to dodge, but instead caught the apple firmly, put it in front of his nose and sniffed deeply.The pale fangs opened and closed, and finally it took a bite of the apple and began to gnaw happily.

Li Qiu put on his hat, took two steps back, turned around and continued running to the east.

"Eat slowly, I don't have a second apple - smelly monkey."

After running for about ten minutes, Li Qiu came to the slope of the hill, and the Lushena Buddha quickly appeared in front of him.This giant Buddha is 20 meters high. According to legend, it is Sakyamuni's Sambhogakaya Buddha, bathed in the lights all over the mountains and plains, and looks solemn.

Right in front of the Buddha is the narrow and shallow Yihe River, which is trapped between Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain all the year round. Even in the flood season, which is once in a hundred years, it cannot submerge the knees of the Buddha in the grotto.If you want to produce the effect of "flooding the Buddha's knees", there is only one way——

Li Qiu panted and ran to the side of the mountain. From this position, he could see the profile of Lushena Buddha. Unlike the Leshan Giant Buddha, this Buddha sits cross-legged, and after years of weathering and erosion, the stone on the lower body has long been broken Unbearable, so I can't see the exact knee position.

The artificial lights on the mountain wall made the grotto look like daytime, and there was only one beam of light, which came from the bottom of the Yi River.The lights at the bottom of the river pass through the river, bringing out sparkling reflections, which fall on the knees of the main Buddha Lushena, creating an illusion that the Buddha's body is immersed in water.

This is it, the knees of the Buddha are flooded with water.

Thanks to the mountain fire that Ah Jiu mentioned inspired him, it has never been water that submerged the Buddha, but the light and shadow reflected in the water.The current light and shadow rely on the artificial lampstand in the water, but thousands of years ago, it relied on the reflection of the huge copper mirror polished by the copper mine in the river.

When a mountain fire ignites on the top of the mountain, the light of the fire is reflected into the river, reflected by the bronze mirror at the bottom of the river, and casts ripples of light and shadow on the legs of the Buddha of Lushena—this is the knee of the flooded Buddha in Longmen Mountain.

The Longmen Grottoes, where the Ten Thousand Buddhas are heading, may really be blessed by gods. Who would have thought that the descendants thousands of years later would actually set up artificial lampstands in the same position as the copper mine, so that they did not miss their ancestors. remains.

Li Qiu adjusted his position, and finally stopped at a certain place, just in time to see the light and shadow submerge the Buddha's knee.Near here, there must be the entrance to the Buddha's tomb.

Suddenly, a hoarse cry came from the surrounding grass shadow forest:

"Little Li."

This call was both hoarse and ambiguous, and it gently rubbed against the bottom of my heart like frost in the dark night, but when it fell into Li Qiu's ears, it only felt terrifying.

In the deserted black mountain, who would call his name?

"Who... who is there! Come out!"

No one answered, just when Li Qiu thought it was just his own illusion, the voice appeared again.

"Little Li."

Hoarse and low, like a ghost.

The night wind howled, blowing through Li Qiu's thin shirt, surrounded by dense black grass, it was impossible to find the source of the sound.

When this strange voice called out his name for the third time, the surrounding situation suddenly changed. A figure leaped out of the grass like lightning, and threw him to the ground swiftly.Li Qiu didn't have the night vision ability like Ah Jiu, and he threw the flashlight to the weird guy before, so he was forced to fall into this hand-to-hand fight in the dark.

However, as soon as the two of them rolled into a ball, the soil under the ground suddenly became soft and fell down suddenly!

Li Qiu didn't even have time to utter a cry, he followed the attackers and fell weightlessly.I don't know how many meters he fell, but it seemed only for a moment in his senses. Li Qiu's back hit the hard ground with a bang, his throat felt fishy and sweet, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

There was silence all around, Li Qiu lay on the ground and gasped for a while, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and only then did he feel better.It turned out that he fell into a spacious pothole, looked up, and could vaguely see the distant hole.It's just such a high distance, if no one throws the rope from above, it's impossible to go out, Li Qiu sat up resignedly, and began to look around the environment.

At the bottom of the pit was a fork in the road. Three dark tunnels faced him from three directions like the mouth of a wild beast.Soon, hurried footsteps came from the two tunnels, and a few seconds later, two flashlights found him almost at the same time.

"Comrade Xiao Li!"

"It's you!"

This person running from different tunnels on the left and right is actually Captain Huang and Teacher Wei's wife.Huang Dui hugged Li Qiu in surprise, looked at the hole above, and soon understood what happened.

"Xiao Li, have you also been attacked by that savage above?!"

"You mean..."

"Oh, it's that monster that looks like a monkey and looks like a living person! There are no lights on this mountain, and the monster moves so fast that you can't tell whether it's a human or a monkey. After you guys left the camp, the camp was destroyed by those people. The savages have been taken, there are three of them in total, they are so fierce, everyone has fled, and we didn’t come to notify you in time.”

Team Huang babbled on and on. It turned out that after Li Qiu and the others left the camp to solve the mystery, the donkey team was attacked by savage monsters, and the hilltop under the dark night turned into a hunting ground.Huang Dui was chased by two savages together, fled to the east in a panic, ran and fell into this pothole, and fell completely.

Ms. Wei has been silent all this time, so it can be seen that the separation from her husband has brought her a lot of blows. Just when the yellow team was speaking, this woman kept monitoring the three holes with a flashlight, carefully observing the surroundings, as if there would be something inside. Feel free to run out like a monster again.

What happened to her was not too different from that of Team Yellow, but he and her husband also left the camp early, and were attacked by savages while walking on the hill. In order to lure the savages away, her husband ran in another direction alone. Flee here until you stumble and fall into a pothole.

These potholes are connected to each other underground, so she ran into Huang Dui by accident, and the two were anxious to find others, and separated again until they met Li Qiu.

"Miss Wei, don't take any more photos. Save some battery. Those savages outside won't come down. If they could come down, the two of us would have been bitten to pieces when we fell into the pit."

Ms. Wei acted as if she had never heard of it, and still stubbornly held the flashlight, as if this would give herself infinite courage.

Team Huang didn't bother to say any more, and turned to Li Qiu, "How about Xiao Li, can you stand up? There is a savage guarding outside, so we can't help it by waiting here. Why don't we go inside, maybe we can get out. "

Li Qiu nodded, and got up with Huang Dui's support. When the two turned around, Huang Dui suddenly said in a low voice: "Be careful with this woman, she's lying."

Li Qiu's heart skipped a beat, he touched the back of Team Huang's hand, didn't speak, just looked at him puzzled.Huang Dui asked Ms. Wei to turn on the light and walk in front, and he used the excuse to help Li Qiu fall behind, and quietly gritted his words between his teeth.

"When I was attacked at the entrance of the cave, I got into a ball with the wild man. The wild man was different from the others. It had no hair on its hands and felt smooth to the touch."

"No hair? Brother Huang, did you find something?"

"Hey, rebellion in the nest," Huang Dui spit angrily, "do you need to think about it, the one who attacked me was not a savage at all! Someone pretended to be a savage and pushed me down in the dark, and In all likelihood, it is someone from our team!"

Li Qiu didn't make a sound, Team Huang got a little anxious, thought he didn't believe it, and added: "At that time, I grabbed that wild man and didn't let go, so we fell together, the hole was too high, I fell dizzy After a while, when I woke up, I saw this woman appearing in front of me, and only this woman! You said that the person who attacked me was not her, but who else would it be?"

Li Qiu pursed his lips, nodded on his face, but was secretly astonished in his heart - when he was outside, he was jumped on by a wild man, and he naturally touched the other's body - indeed, he had no hair, just like Team Huang said , the attacker is very likely to be an internal thief in the team.

Similarly, he clearly remembered that he and the savage fell down together, but why did he not see the attacker who fell together in the pit after waking up.What about Ms. Wei?Did he also fall into the deep hole with the attackers at that time, but when he woke up, he couldn't find anyone.

Unless the three of them hallucinated together, there must be a lie and a contradiction here.

——Xiao Li.

The sneak attacker was lurking in the grass, and once called him Xiao Li hoarsely.And in this team of donkey friends, there is only one person who can call him "Xiao Li".

Huang Dui was still talking about his doubts, and suddenly found that Li Qiu's pace slowed down until he stopped completely.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong?"

Li Qiu pulled out his arm with a smile, and calmly opened the distance between the two, "I'm fine, thank you Brother Huang, I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
