Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"Is there an active volcano underground?" I asked speculatively.

"It's not sure yet, but what is certain is that the tomb is inside." Zhang Qi looked far away, his dark eyes seemed to be able to see behind the waterfall curtain.

"No way!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"I wasn't sure at first, but the behavior of those men in white clothes last night proved it." Zhang Qi said lightly.

"You mean, the reason why they became like this is all related to this tomb?" I asked eagerly.

"That's right. After we finish eating, let's go back and see those people last night." After he finished speaking, he returned to the fire. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the waterfall in the morning, it is also very pleasant to eat.

After eating and tidying up, he climbed down again along the rope. When he passed the tree with the strange flower fragrance yesterday, Zhang Qi took out the handkerchief for me to tie it on again.I really want to tell him: "It's not poisonous, don't need to be tied up, I've even slept under a tree before!"

But seeing his earnest face, it's hard to take him away, and I dare not mention the matter of sleeping here, for fear that he will have an expression of hatred for iron and steel.

We walked downstream along the river, and after a while we found the place where the group of people gathered to fish for stones last night, but at this time it was quiet, as if there was no one there.

"You said, they didn't all evacuate, did they?" I asked Zhang Qi in a lower voice.

He just shook his head and didn't answer.

We gently touched in front of the stone pile last night, and now we can see clearly that it is a platform built of stones, with a thick tree pole inserted in the middle, and many scarves and streamers whose colors have long been indistinguishable are hung on it. .

"What is this for?" I asked Zhang Qi again.

He glanced at me and said, "Altar."

"No wonder those people wanted to drain my blood yesterday. It turned out that they were really holding some kind of ceremony and treating me like an animal. Thinking about it, I still have some fears in my heart. If Zhang Qi didn't show up in time, I'm afraid I have already entered Hades Please." I looked at him gratefully, thinking to myself, why do I owe you again, I don't know how to repay the kindness of saving my life in this way?

"Go, go over there and have a look." Zhang Qi pointed to the tents not far in front of the stage and said to me.

I had no choice but to close my mind and followed his footsteps.These army green heavy rain canvases are also faded and old, and they are covered with fallen leaves.

Zhang Qi motioned for me to lower my body a bit, while he pinched the door curtain with his fingers, took a look at the situation inside, and then quickly dodged in after seeing it.

"Dizzy, what's going on?" I had a question mark on my face, so I had to open the door curtain, only to see two men in white lying on the ground inside, motionless.

Zhang Qi sniffed first, then touched the arteries in his neck, looking thoughtful.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked him in a very low voice.

He looked up at me and said, "They're all dead."

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, then the cat went over and touched it, and sure enough, the two people's bodies were cold, and they had no breath at all. "Could it be that after we ran away yesterday, they were all executed?"

Zhang Qi shook his head and said coldly: "No, they have been dead for a long time. They are just being manipulated by someone."

"This is quite bizarre. How can the body be manipulated after death? It's good if it doesn't rot." I just feel the cold spread from the bottom of my legs to my heart. Even though it is daytime, there is a ghostly air here of.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a "click" sound outside, like the sound of a branch being snapped, I rushed out involuntarily, and as soon as I opened the canvas curtain, a cold gun head hit my chest on the head.

A hoarse voice shouted: "Raise your hands."

When I saw someone pointing a gun at me, I immediately lost my temper, so I just obeyed obediently.Zhang Qi had already got out at this time, seeing me being held hostage, his eyes froze, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

The man with the gun is the old man of the village head. Are these dead people his villagers?

"Throw away the bag, throw away the knife." The old man commanded Zhang Qi fiercely. It seems that after seeing his skills, he still feels jealous of him.

After Zhang Qi heard this, he threw his backpack aside without hesitation, and also threw away the short knife on his waist.

The old man rudely pulled me away from him, and then asked: "Say, who are you? Why did you find this place?

"Oh, sir, didn't I tell you yesterday that I was lost? Although you wanted my life, I was still worried about your safety! So today we came to have a look!" It seems that I was really lost Fat brother was off, and not a little bit off, this kind of deceitful words came out of his mouth.

But it seems that this trick is useless, the uncle stabbed me hard with the end of the gun, and said sternly: "Stop talking, did you find something?"

"What did you find? I found out that everyone in your village is dead!" I thought to myself, but I didn't dare to say any more, so I looked at Zhang Qi, hoping that he would come out to scare the old man.

Zhang Qi seemed to understand what I meant, and then said to the old man in a mysterious tone that I had never heard before: "It is the guidance on the jade silk that brought us here, we know that your mission is about to be accomplished, so please return Put down your weapons and go back to the village!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt the gun on my head suddenly loosen.Look at the old man's gray eyes no longer as murderous as before.Did Zhang Qi's words work?

"You... Who are you?" The old man asked in a trembling tone.

"He's the one who came to save you." At this time, Zhang Qi's tone seemed to have a special magical power, which made the old village's finger on my head slowly move away.

Zhang Qi walked up gently, pulled me behind, and continued to say: "Your mission has been accomplished, it's time for dust to dust, dust to dust, go back!" This seems to have become a kind of advice here. , but it did work for this weird village chief.

As the gun fell slowly, Zhang Qi also pulled me, and slowly backed away, but I couldn't die. I stepped on a branch on my leg and made a "pop".

The old man immediately seemed to come back to his senses, immediately raised the gun in his hand, and shot at us without any explanation.Zhang Qi pushed me aside, let the bullets fly away, then jumped in front of the old man with a flip, kicked the gun in his hand away with one leg, and then punched him on the cheek.

The force wasn't too heavy, the old man just staggered back a few steps, and seeing that he wasn't his opponent, he ran to the river and jumped down.When the two of us caught up, there was no trace of the person, only a circle of water patterns slowly spreading out.

"Did he run away? Or did he commit suicide?" At this moment, I was still not sure whether it was a human or a ghost, so I looked at Zhang Qi and asked him what to do?

"Let's go!" Zhang Qi didn't seem to be interested in his life and death. He turned back and picked up the backpack, and then reinserted the short knife into the scabbard hanging on his waist, motioning for me to follow.

I had no choice but to follow him like a fool, pestering him as he walked and asking what was going on?Why did his words calm down the old village chief?How did the people here manipulate the corpse?

The result of this long series of questions can be imagined, Zhang Qi refused to answer a single question, pretending not to hear.I wasn't angry either, and continued to ask questions persistently.Afterwards, they checked around the camp and the altar, but found nothing. It was already noon, so they returned to the place where they had agreed to meet Wu Xie and the others and spend the night last night.

I climbed up, and as soon as I got my head out, the fat brother's scolding sound came "bajibaji".I glanced at Wu Xie vainly, with a shameful look on my face, which made him feel a little unbearable. Before I blamed me, I had already confessed myself. No matter what, lying is always wrong.

"Brother, it's not that we didn't take him away, it's that she refused to leave, you know? This girl has learned badly now, and she has a lot of tricks." The fat brother saw that Wu Xie wanted to let me go, and ran to the little brother again. sue in front of him.

Zhang Qi just glanced at me lightly and didn't say much.Fat Ge Dun felt bored and couldn't help but glared at me.I immediately grimaced back.

Fat Brother chuckled, and then teased: "You're cute, why do you like being with my little brother so much, you can't bear to be separated for a moment, and you've grown to this point, why don't you invite us to a wedding banquet when you return to Hangzhou?"

He always made jokes about me and Zhang Qi, and I was used to it, so I was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Oh, it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, but the golden mountain and silver mountain in front of you, I don't know if anyone wants to move back. ?”

When the fat guy heard about money, he immediately got up and asked me, "What? Have you found the location of the tomb?"

"Well... I found it after looking for it, but you told me about it just now, and I can't remember it now." I deliberately annoyed him with a gesture.

"Oh, don't! Sister, think about it, my brother brought you delicious food, you sit here and eat slowly and think about it." The fat brother knew that I was teasing him on purpose, but for the sake of the baby, he had no choice but to swallow my breath and greet me. I went to rest on the big rock on the side, and took out the delicious food from the bag and handed it to me.

"It's more or less the same", I was overjoyed, Wu Xie also pursed his lips and snickered, Zhang Qi had no time to care about our gossip, so he opened the equipment bag that Wu Xie and the others brought, and took out from it An Anchor Launcher, Rope and Sighting Gun etc.

When I was about to tear open the package of beef jerky, Zhang Qi had already aimed at a big tree by the opposite waterfall. on tree trunks outside.
