Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"Damn it, wouldn't the fat man run back to visit the grave by himself?" Wu Xie scolded while running back to find someone.

Seeing that things had changed, Zhang Qi and I hurriedly followed behind him.

When we returned to the place where we rested just now, we did not see Fat Brother. Next, we will face a difficult problem, which way is Fat Brother going?The first possibility is that he is thinking about the toad fish in the river, will he kill it while it is injured?The second is that he saw the remnant stele of Xiling Kingdom, and heard me say that there might be something related to Xiling Kingdom on it, so he went to search for it by himself?There is also a last possibility, that he still misses the treasure in the sleeping hall in the previous Chu tomb, so he went back alone.

There are so many possibilities, the three of us couldn't make up our minds for a while, Wu Xie shouted impatiently: "Fatty!" people respond.

At this time, a few small stones suddenly fell from above, and we immediately cast the light source on it.I saw that there seemed to be a shadow climbing on the plank road, and seeing the light quickly disappeared.

"Fatty, your uncle. We agreed to go together, but you sneaked back by yourself. What do you mean?" Wu Xie kept cursing while chasing after him along the plank road.

I thought to myself: Brother Xie, don’t be stupid, the plank road is built with twists and turns and steep, it’s not easy to climb, so don’t shut up and save some energy.Catch someone later, beat him up, what better way to relieve his anger?

And Zhang Qi's speed was even faster, he had already swept away when he saw the movement, and now he has left us far behind.When Wu Xie and I caught up with him out of breath, we saw him squatting silently in front of a stone step, with his back behind us staring at the stone wall in a daze.

"Brother, did you find anything?" Wu Xie asked.

"Turn off the light." Zhang Qi motioned for us to turn off all the light sources on our hands.After we did so, we saw little bits of white light flashing on the entire mountain wall, and there was a strange and dreamy scene in an instant.

"What is this?" Wu Xie asked.

Zhang Qi turned on the flashlight again and shone on the bright places.Only then did we see clearly that it turned out to be clusters of small white flowers blooming on the wall.Zhang Qi scraped some moss attached to the roots, smelled it, and then said: "This is called crystal orchid, also called ghost grass, and it usually grows in extremely shady places."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qi suddenly raised his head and glanced at me.But at this time, my eyes were completely attracted by this magical plant, so I didn't know what he was thinking?Then I picked one, and when I approached it close to my nose, there was a mysterious fragrance.

"Brother, what do you mean...?" Wu Xie asked hesitantly.

"Well, everyone be careful." After saying this, Zhang Qi got up and continued to explore the road.

Wu Xie also raised his gun and patrolled the front vigilantly.Seeing that the two of them suddenly became so cautious, I naturally didn't dare to take it lightly. I took Long Yin from his back and held it in my hand.We climbed all the way up, and it felt more humid as we went up. Even the stone steps of the plank road were overflowing with water. No wonder these flowers can bloom so well here. The reason is that there is no shortage of water here.

After climbing for another ten minutes or so, I felt more and more depressed as I walked. If the shadow just now was Fat Brother, it stands to reason that he found out that we came back to look for him. Shouldn't he give up resisting and wait for us to come up?And now it seems a little unreasonable to run away without a trace.

"Hey, you guys...?" Before I finished asking, Wu Xie suddenly pulled me and ran to Zhang Qi's side, and Zhang Qi was carefully looking at two kneeling stone figurines about [-] to [-] centimeters long. The terracotta figurine has a high bun on the top of its head, is wearing armor, kneeling on the ground with its legs bent and its head hanging low.

"Looking at the attire, it seems to be from the Warring States period." I guessed, then squatted down to examine the facial features of the stone figurine, and when the light shone on its face, I couldn't help but stunned.

"What's the matter? Zilin..." Wu Xie and Zhang Qi saw that I had a different expression, and they also squatted down with me. When they saw the expression on the stone figurine's face clearly, they couldn't help being startled.

"Is it crying?" Wu Xie asked suspiciously.

"That's right! I don't know the purpose of repairing the stone figurine like this." I stroked the tear stains clearly carved on the figurine's face, and an inexplicable sense of sadness welled up in my heart. "They look like they're confessing," I added.

"You guys come and see this." Zhang Qi had already run to the end of the plank road at some point, pointing to the remnants of a remaining stele and said, "The stele below should have been standing here."

After I went over to look carefully, I looked down the dark plank road again.I feel that it is really rare for the stele not to fall apart when it falls from such a high place.

"What should we do now? There is no way ahead, where did the fat man go?" Wu Xie thumped her hand on the stone wall angrily.At this time, there was a sound of "dong" in his hand, which made him take a few steps back in shock.

"Is it empty?" I asked suspiciously.

Zhang Qi tapped it with the handle of the knife and nodded.Then there was another "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie leaned forward and asked.

"There's no door, not even a gap." Zhang Qi took a look around and took a few steps back.Sifu said: "The agency should be nearby, everyone look for it." Then we conducted a blanket search around, but found nothing unusual.

"Brother, if you can't even find the mechanism, the fat man can't even find it. I wonder if we were dazzled just now, the fat man didn't go this way at all." Wu Xie began to doubt himself.

Zhang Qi didn't answer him, but walked back to the front of the two kneeling figurines, and squatted down to look carefully.Wu Xie made the worst assumption. If we choose the wrong direction and delay for so long, we will not be able to find the whereabouts of Fat Brother.

As I walked up to Zhang Qi, I said to Wu Xie: "It is impossible for the three of us to be dazzled at the same time. There must be something that we have overlooked." After I finished speaking, I glanced at Zhang Qi and asked: " Who do you think these stone figurines are kneeling at?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw him raise his head abruptly, then got up and pulled me some distance away, then kicked the stone figurine. The stone figurine was forced to move in a direction facing the stone wall. After the figurines were all in the same direction, there was a sudden "crash" in the darkness above, and two iron cables were lowered down on a platform.

"Go up quickly." Zhang Qi signaled Wu Xie and me to jump up, and then he kicked the stone figurine back to its original position, and jumped up quickly.

As the platform slowly rose to the upper section, we stopped suddenly. When the light source shone forward, we found a long and narrow corridor deeply embedded in the mountain wall.

"This mechanism is too ingenious!" I sighed.As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Qi had already jumped into the corridor by Zhang Qi, and then Wu Xie also jumped in.

"Brother, do you think it's possible that the fat man is in this tomb?" Wu Xie looked suspiciously at the end swallowed by the light, hesitating a little.

"Go in and take a look." After speaking, Zhang Qi jumped up, stepped on the wall, walked a few steps quickly, jumped to the other side, and disappeared into the darkness for a while.Not long after, a whistle sounded.

Wu Xie and I looked at each other and understood.This shows that there are no organs in the tunnel, so it is safe.Afterwards, we also passed quickly, and when we reached the end of the corridor, there was a thick stone gate, which was already open at this time.Zhang Qi has entered inside one step ahead of us.

As soon as we stepped forward, we felt the rush of water vapor and the sound of monstrous water flow.Not far away, a stream of water flowed down from the huge cave roof, creating a spectacle of a fairy cave.All the water flowing down fell on a huge waterwheel, and the waterwheel was connected with iron cables. It is estimated that the waterwheel was carrying the platform we just came up on.This interlocking device is very delicate, and it borrows the power of nature with all its strength. I have to lament the wisdom of the old ancestors.

I don't know how many years this huge hole has been formed. Although some places have begun to collapse, the space inside is still huge.We went down the stone steps, and there was a small river in front of it, and a small bridge was built on the river. This small bridge has flowing water, which shows that the owner of the tomb was also an extremely sentimental person during his lifetime.

Zhang Qi had just inspected the stone bridge at this time, and he felt that there was no problem, so he motioned for us to go over.When we got off the bridge, when we turned the power to the brightest, we were so shocked by the picture in front of us that we couldn't speak.

As soon as my brain got hot, I raised my sword and wanted to rush up, but was stopped by Zhang Qi, who silenced me and signaled not to act rashly.He himself leaned in quietly.

Because Wu Xie was behind me, when he saw his eyes clearly, he couldn't help but wanted to rush up, but I held him back. We were on alert and ready to support Zhang Qi at any time.

It turned out that there was a huge mulberry tree growing on the side of the stone bridge, and it grew luxuriantly, verdant and tall.Visually, it must be at least ten meters high.There are also several sarcophagi placed under the tree, surrounded by the mulberry tree in a strange arrangement. The most shocking thing is that there is a fat man hanging on the tree. You don't need to look closely to know his figure. It's Fat Brother, but at this moment he has disappeared without a sound, hanging there motionless, and we can't judge whether he is dead or alive?

The author has something to say:

Today I held a small flower umbrella, took off my mask, and walked in the rain. Although my shoes were wet by the spring rain, I was still happy inside.
