[Tomb Raider] Escape

Even if there are already colleagues who have come here first, and so much effort has been wasted, it is really unreasonable not to go down and have a look, not to mention that there may be fish that slip through the net.Nangong Gousheng dropped a few tools without saying a word, and took the lead to get in through the robbery hole.Immediately, everyone filed in.

This is an underground palace about four meters wide and six meters long.A few people turned on the flashlights, and they saw a mess, pottery and rubble everywhere, and even the murals were damaged.

Although they had been mentally prepared before, it was inevitable that everyone would feel extremely depressed after seeing this scene.

Yu Yu comforted himself and said, "Maybe there are many underground palaces around here..."

Nangong Gousheng took a few deep breaths, and gathered himself up to inspect the underground palace.He walked to the wall, which was covered with gorgeous murals, the colors were still bright after thousands of years.Some murals show merchants escorting many slaves with their hands tied behind their backs in the desert, while others show pharaohs offering treasures to the gods.

Li Yaoyao touched the mural and said strangely: "Why are so many people's faces chiseled off?"

Yu Yu said: "Probably the colleagues who came down before us did it." Many tomb robbers like to do some destructive work, destroying cultural relics that cannot be taken away, and it is not uncommon to destroy murals.

Su Yi carefully observed the murals on the four walls, shook his head and said, "Look carefully, are all the people whose faces were chiseled off all pharaohs or priests?"

Li Yaoyao listened carefully for a while after hearing the words, and was amused: "Hey! It's true!"

Qiao Yu looked at a mural depicting a gathering scene with a flashlight for a long time, and said, "All the faces on this mural have been destroyed. Could it be that they are all pharaohs and priests?"

Nangong Gousheng walked up behind him, pointed to the person sitting in the chair on the painting and said, "This is Osiris, and this is his wife Isis...the others are also gods in ancient Egyptian mythology." Osiris is The first son of the god of the earth in mythology, is the god of the underworld, and Isis is the god of life and health.Even though Qiao Yu didn't know much about ancient Egyptian culture, she had heard of these two famous gods.

Everyone has vaguely realized something.

Su Yi said: "Master, I read in the book that the tomb of Ramses IV in the Valley of the Kings was also damaged similarly. During the Roman-Byzantine rule, Roman invaders broke into the underground palace and destroyed the murals. The face of the pharaoh. Because the Christians see the pharaoh as a heathen."

Yu Yu squatted down, picked up an object from the sand and dusted it off—it was an iron cross.He handed the cross to Nangong Gousheng.

Nangong Gousheng took a closer look, and put the cross back into Yu Yu's palm: "It should have been dug up here during the Greco-Roman rule, hey, colleagues from 2000 years ago - you keep it, anyway, it's still a mess." cultural relics."

Knowing that the ancients probably stole the treasures, everyone's mood improved a little, and they continued to search for the captured treasures from a pile of broken rubble and fine sand.It is not known whether the Christians from thousands of years ago broke in by mistake or found them with a map.

Qiao Yu found a gold bracelet and handed it to Nangong Gousheng: "Can you tell the age?"

Nangong Gousheng played with it for a while, then handed the bracelet to Li Yaoyao.

Li Yaoyao looked and touched, and shook his head after a while: "I can't see it." He didn't know the history of ancient Egypt, and he couldn't start from the cultural point of view to determine the age, but only from the degree of corrosion of the gold bracelet. , and it is difficult to determine a specific age.

Nangong Gousheng smiled, knowing that the little apprentice liked this kind of thing the most, so he said: "It's yours, keep it."

Li Yaoyao happily stuffed the gold bracelet into her pocket.

Several young people continued to grope in the ruins, while Nangong Gousheng returned to the wall and continued to examine the murals one by one.

There are several hieroglyphs on the murals, but all the places involving the name of the pharaoh have been chiseled out, and the rest are some carols to thank the gods. It is difficult to determine the age of the murals.

After a while, several people gathered the things they found, including three gems, some ivory fragments and two gold ornaments.

Yu Yu sat in the pile of debris in frustration, fiddled with broken pottery fragments: "Damn it, I found such a little thing after all the hard work! I'm so jealous, my young master is so handsome!"

Li Yaoyao kicked him: "You idiot, look for it again."

Qiao Yu walked up to Nangong Gousheng and asked, "Did you see anything?"

Nangong Gousheng said: "Judging from the style of the murals, they should be works from the New Kingdom period." There will be no more.

The three apprentices of Gousheng’s family couldn’t believe that so much hard work only resulted in this result. They shone the flashlight back and forth on the corners of the underground palace and kept beating on the walls, hoping to make new discoveries.

During this investigation, Li Yaoyao actually discovered that the back of a wall was hollow.

The six people immediately became excited, but the flame of enthusiasm was quickly extinguished - there was a small hole in the corner, and it was obvious that someone had already entered it before.

People drilled into the small hole one after another, and found a narrow passage about 20 meters long behind the wall. Both sides of the passage were covered with murals, and the faces of all gods and pharaohs were still destroyed.

Yu Yu and Li Yaoyao rushed towards the end of the corridor, while Nangong Gousheng and She She slowly knocked on the walls on both sides of the corridor, hoping not to miss any secret room.Unfortunately, no hidden doors were found on both sides of the corridor.

At the end of the passage, there is a small shaft pit as a buffer. After going down from the shaft pit, it goes two or three meters underground, followed by another corridor more than [-] meters long.

So far, although the legendary treasure has not been seen yet, the scale of the underground palace can already be seen.

At the end of the second corridor is a pillared hall with an area of ​​about forty square meters supported by six granite pillars.

Nangong Gousheng squatted down next to a pillar and found that there were no patterns on the pillar body, but there were some papyrus fragments with hieroglyphs written on the bottom of the pillar.Seeing Qiao Yu approaching curiously, Nangong Gousheng explained: "From the time of the Ancient Kingdom, there has been a custom of binding pillars with papyrus." These papyrus wrapped pillars may be written with hieroglyphics or painted with beautiful patterns, but unfortunately the paper The sedge has been torn up, and no useful information can be found from the fragments alone.

Yu Yu knelt down beside Qiao Yu, and sighed, "Ms. Qiao, in our line of work, the most fearful thing is to be preempted by the peers. When encountering people with low professional ethics, like now, they don't even have a bone. Leave it to us, alas..."

Qiao Yu choked for a moment, and said coolly, "Oh, I understand. Those who work in our line of work are also afraid of doing yours." After a pause, he added, "Don't call me... Mistress."

Yu Yu laughed a few times, and even shook hands with Qiao Yu cheekily: "Haha, fate!"

Qiao Yu was completely speechless.

The right side of the column room is connected with a corridor leading directly to the storage room.However, the storage room has also been ransacked, leaving only a pile of broken copper and iron.

She She dug out a complete lizard amulet necklace from the ruins, and Li Yaoyao brazenly snatched it away, immediately tied it around Su Yi's neck, and hung it with the bone flute.

But even if the third disciple of Gousheng refurbished all the soil in the storage room, the walls were about to collapse, and there were really no more treasures or hidden doors.

Yu Yu kicked the wall and swears loudly: "My god, you are a strict ancestor, and all the old Romans are going to die!"

Su Yi and Qiao Yu looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Li Yaoyao walked back without saying a word with a sullen face, and continued to knock on the corridor where she came, until she returned to the column room.

While kicking and kicking against the wall, he stuck his fingers into the eyes of the person in the mural, and She She who caught up with him asked blankly, "What are you doing?"

Li Yaoyao said: "Oh, find an agency."

She Snake: "..."

So the two began to inhumanely insert eyes, poke assholes, and poke dicks on the characters on the mural.After a while, Yu Yu who was chasing him also joined in the action.

Nangong Gousheng led Qiao Yu and Su Yi over in a leisurely manner. Qiao Yu felt pain in his heart when he saw the murals that were still vivid for more than a thousand years being destroyed by them, while Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

Nangong Gousheng looked at it thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly said, "Try to top it."

The three apprentices stopped their funny actions and looked at each other for a moment, Yu Yu took the lead in pushing Li Yaoyao to the ground: "Quick, carry me up!"

Not to be outdone, Li Yaoyao punched him down: "Kneel down and let me step on you!"

Yu Yu fought back again, and the two naive men wrestled into a ball again.

Nangong Gousheng made the final decision: "Da Shuan and three dogs carry two remaining!"

So She She, who was reaping the benefits of being a fisherman, stepped on the shoulders of the two brothers with satisfaction, and knocked on the top of the pillar chamber with a wooden handle——

"悾悾..."

Now without him needing to speak, everyone could hear that the roof was empty.

Qiao Yu sighed: "So that storage room was used to confuse the treasure thieves." But thinking that he is now a member of the treasure thieves, he can't help but feel a little guilty.

With great effort, She She opened the secret door above her head and climbed up first.Afterwards, Qiao Yu, Su Yi, and Nangong Gousheng climbed up one by one.Li Yaoyao and Yu Yu fought over who would be the final stepping stone. In the end, rock-paper-scissors decided the winner. Yu Yu carried Li Yaoyao up first, and then everyone pulled Yu Yu up with a rope. .

Yu Yu hadn't stepped on the ground yet, half of his body reached the upper floor, and when he saw the mess in the room, the first sentence he said was: "The ancestors of the Japanese are so strict!!!"

Li Yaoyao raised her head and choked speechlessly: "I was not born when you were born, I only regret that my birth was not at the right time~~It was not at the right time~~"

She She concluded coldly: "A caterpillar that penetrates every hole!"

Qiao Yu touched her face guiltily: Are these people really so self-conscious? ?

Even though the people who designed this underground palace have tried their best to make it very complicated, they still haven't escaped the wise treasure thieves.

There are seven rooms and six corridors on the upper floor, and when the dog leftover master and his disciples reached the deepest secret room, all of them were dead faces.

In the deepest room, there is a limestone statue about the height of a human being. The upper body of the statue has been smashed to pieces.

Li Yaoyao, who was already desperate to death, suddenly felt outraged, and roared: "I rely on his second uncle's third aunt's sister-in-law's fourth nephew! They robbed everything and didn't even leave us a statue!"

Yu Yu said coldly: "Leave it to you, can you move it?"

Li Yaoyao said angrily: "Fuck! Don't care! I love moving back home to be an inflatable doll, and it's my business!"

Su Yi's mouth twitched.

Nangong Gousheng stepped forward and found a line of hieroglyphs written on the board under the statue's feet. He translated: "Whoever trespasses here without Pharaoh's permission...well, Osiris will refuse to be reborn for him."

Yu Yu rolled her eyes: "Is this also called a curse? Who cares about you? Damn it! Let me tell you, trespassers, die! It's over! Wen Zou Zou has no prestige at all!"

Nangong Gousheng sighed, and finally showed a wry smile: "Let's... look for it again."

After spending several hours, everyone carefully explored every corner of the seven rooms and returned to the last room.

Li Yaoyao smiled wryly, "It's already dark outside."

Yu Yu rolled her eyes: "It should be dawn!"

Finally all the rest of the walls had been surveyed inch by inch, and everyone worked together to move the limestone statue a little and began to knock on the last wall behind the statue.

Yu Yu hit the upper part with a wooden stick, while Li Yaoyao hit the lower part, and they both said at the same time:

"No."

"Have!!!"

The two looked at each other in dismay, and at the same time turned their attention to Nangong Gousheng.

Nangong Gousheng was stunned for three seconds, and then gave a clear smile: "It seems to be a niche..."

Without saying a word, the three apprentices picked up the tool and smashed it, digging out a dark hole in a short while.

Li Yaoyao and Yu Yu pushed their hands deep in at the same time, but She She, who had expected it for a long time, grabbed them one by one.Nangong Gousheng smiled, stepped forward and patted She She on the shoulder: "Good job."

He reached into the alcove and pulled out a gold-encrusted wooden box studded with precious stones.

While everyone was waiting with bated breath, Nangong Gousheng slowly opened the wooden box, revealing the contents inside——

A scroll of papyrus.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

One day Li Yaoyao saw a man selling cultural relics and wanted to get close to him, so she asked Yu Yu to ask his name.

Yu Yu said, no need to ask, his name is Muhammad.

Li Yaoyao was surprised: Do you recognize him?

Yu Yu said that nine out of ten Arab men are named Mohammed.

Li Yaoyao thought for a while, then asked: Then how to distinguish between father, younger brother, older brother, uncle and so on?

Yu Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that the question was very meaningful, so he ran over to ask, and came back after a while and said: His father's name is Mohammed, his uncle's name is Mohammed Mohammed, and his grandfather's name is Mohammed Mohammad Mohammed...

Li Yaoyao: ...
