Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Our faces turned serious, Wu Xie asked Poker Bottle what does this sentence mean?

Poker Bottle shook his head, but didn't say anything more.

Fat Brother wiped his hands, and said to Poker Bottle: "Brother, no matter what, let's put the coffin lid back first! After closing the lid, we'll see what's wrong with it, and see you later."

Poker-Face nodded silently, then started to put back the coffin lid on the ground with the fat brother, and then pressed the outer coffin boards, the fat brother moved pantingly and cursed: "His grandma's, I didn't touch anything. You also asked me to do coolies, and I'm going to die again, this ghost thing."

Just as the lid of the second coffin was pushed back to its original position with a "click", the lights on the wall were still dimly lit, but then they all went out, and the entire tomb was once again plunged into darkness.

Before we could turn on the flashlight, the tomb suddenly shook like an earthquake. We were shaken left and right, and we could barely stand with the coffin. After shaking for a while, it stopped automatically. flashlight.

"What's going on?" I asked in horror.

No one answered me. The three men beside me were surprised at the moment and shone their flashlights on the backs of the two coffins. The previous wall opened at some point, revealing a huge black hole, and the chilly wind immediately poured into it. When I came in, I couldn't help but shiver.

We moved over cautiously, and found that there were two thick bronze chains hanging on the outside of the wall, and there were two stone steps for walking in the middle. There was a black hole under the chains. One end is hidden in the darkness, because the light source is limited, it is impossible to see where it leads and what is at the end.

The fat man squatted down, looked at the stone steps, and suddenly sighed: "The owner of this tomb is really not an ordinary person. Do you know what material this stone is made of?"

I leaned over curiously and asked, "What kind of material is it?"

"Look at this." He pointed to some green thread-like things in the stone steps and said, "This is called floating flowers. This kind of stone can be processed into bracelets, pendants and carvings. In other words, these are all emeralds."

I glanced at the countless stone steps in front of me, and said with emotion: "How much jade will this ladder cost!"

At this time, Wu Xie also came up, took a look and said: "The owner of the tomb should move the treasures on the spot according to local conditions. Don't forget, this is Yunnan, the famous hometown of emeralds."

"However, such an extravagant and huge project cannot be afforded by ordinary people!" At this time, I can no longer completely suppress my curiosity about the identity of the owner of the tomb, and I can't wait to climb down to have a look right away.

"Let's go down and have a look!" I suggested.

Before they could respond, a faint "gudong gudong" sound suddenly came from below the black hole. It was low, a bit like the sound of water, and a bit like the sound made by some kind of animal.

I looked up and asked Poker Bottle: "Da Bo, what's down there?"

"Hell" Poker bottle calmly spit out these two words.

My legs were so startled that I almost fell down, but fortunately he and Wu Xie had quick hands and eyes, and each held my arm.

Wu Xie rolled her eyes at Poker Fing and said, "Brother, Zi Lin is timid so don't scare her."

Poker bottle looked at me helplessly, as if laughing at me for being a coward.

Fat Brother chuckled, and said, "My sister is quite courageous, so don't bully her, especially if she is naive. Think about it, you were the same back then."

Wu Xie stared at him innocently, and muttered, "I didn't bully her."

"Okay, pack up and get ready to go!" Poker-Face lifted the bag and signaled us to get out of the way.

Fat Brother stood up, patted his clothes, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go down today and see what the hell looks like in the end."

"Wait" Wu Xie suddenly reached out to stop us, quickly took out an incendiary bomb from his bag and said, "I found three of them in those camouflage uniform bags before, and I have never been willing to use them. I can't care about so many now." Alright, let’s order one first! It will be safer for us to see the environment clearly before we act.”

"Wow, comrade naive, you have learned how to hide things now, and you really got my true biography from the fat man. Hurry up, burn one, and see what the hell is under there."

Wu Xie pouted speechlessly, lit the fuze with a lighter, and threw it down into the big hole.

The incendiary bomb "Pu Chi Pu Chi" a few times, then shot down quickly, and then exploded with a "boom", and the hot white light instantly illuminated the lower end of the black hole. The size of a basketball court, the long emerald hanging ladder in front of you is connected to a platform at the end, and a huge coffin is placed on the platform. In addition, there are many tree roots and vines hanging densely on the mountain wall. I really can't imagine that this kind of underground world has no sunlight and is surrounded by stone walls. It can grow so densely. I can't help but sigh the strong vitality of plants.

Because the hole was too deep, we still couldn't see the bottom of the hole. The incendiary bombs burned for a while and then slowly dimmed, until the last light was swallowed in the darkness, the hole was hidden in the black again, and the air was filled with gunpowder smoke smell.

I was so shocked by the sight in front of me that I was speechless.

"It seems that the person with such a large battle below is the rightful owner. The owner of this tomb is really perverted. He made the tomb like this. If we hadn't stumbled in by mistake, even the ancestors of Mojin would not be able to find this tomb. Land." Fat Brother said with emotion.

"Let's go!" Poker Face didn't comment on his words, and stepped on the ladder and began to climb down.

"Brother, slow down." The fat brother hurriedly followed.

Wu Xie stretched out his hand to me, motioning for me to go down first, he was in charge of the rear, I naturally did not refuse, and stepped on the stone steps, holding the bronze chains on both sides tightly with both hands, the chains were slippery due to the damp yellow embroidery. , the same is true on the stone steps, people trembled a lot when walking up, especially the heavy weight of the fat guy, the chain made a creaking sound, and the emerald stone steps themselves were not light, and we pressed them again, as if they might break at any time It seemed that we were very careful with every step we took, and we didn't dare to breathe, and we were sweating profusely in less than 10 minutes.

Poker-Face walks relatively fast, and has already distanced himself from us in a while. While crawling, he has to watch out for his feet and look around and below to avoid accidents. He is like a falcon waiting for an opportunity in the dark. This habit is probably the same. Because of the long-term involuntary environment, thinking of what Wu Xie told me before, the corners of my eyes became sour again. If it wasn’t for me, everyone would not have to take risks. Presumably you can lie on the comfortable sofa and bask in the sun at this moment , Wu Xie, in front of the leisurely little master, and the fat brother are running around in the new store, but I have dragged you into the darkness again, constantly implicating you, at this moment, my heart hurts like a knife, I feel useless.

Suddenly my feet slipped, and my body was thrown out. Fortunately, my hands were holding the chain tightly, and I didn’t fall off. My feet were dangling in the air. When I looked down, the black hole below looked like a monster with its mouth open. Swallowing it in, the hanging ladder lost its balance and swayed, its head became dizzy for an instant, and its hands gradually began to slide down weakly.

"Zi Lin, don't move around, we'll pull you up." Wu Xie bit his flashlight on his mouth, and he and Fat Brother each took my hand and lifted it up vigorously. Fortunately, I'm not heavy. As soon as he flipped over, he rolled up, his feet were already shaking and weak.

I hugged a stone step desperately, panting evenly, and walked for a while after the gate of hell was closed. Thinking about it, I was really scared, and I needed to rest for a while.

Fat Brother chuckled, "Sister, when will you get rid of your dazed walking problem? You almost gave me a heart attack. Let's see if you dare to take some snacks in the future."

"Hmm...um" I nodded heavily, thinking to myself, "I don't dare to think about it if I'm killed in this bloody place."

The fat brother glanced at Wu Xie and said, "Comrade innocent, I think Zilin is your own sister! She is exactly the same as you when I was stupid. When I first saw you, I wondered where the hell did you come from? Fat master, you just took you out of the teacher in the past two years, and you sent a younger sister to torment me." Alas~ After speaking, he sighed seriously.

Wu Xie gave the fat brother a look and said: "Fatty, don't keep putting gold on your face. You may be worse than Zilin when you go to the grave for the first time. I don't know how you narrowly escaped death. Still bragging here.

"Hmph, Fatty, I am the authentic successor of Mojin Xiaowei. I haven't seen any tombs. Do I still need to escape?" Fatty replied with a displeased face.

"Brother Fat, what is Captain Mojin?" I asked curiously.

"This... I will tell you in detail after we go out, and then I will teach you some skills to touch Captain Jin, so that your brother will not bully you all the time!" Fat Brother chuckled.

"Uh... well, why do you keep calling him naive?" I asked again.

"Because he was stupid and innocent back then, and he was always being used by others. I really couldn't see it, so I gave him a nickname. The intention was to remind him that he should be vigilant against everyone. Who knows who he is? Wood cannot be carved." After speaking, he shook his head.

"Hehe, rotten wood can't be carved." I continued with a smile, then turned my head and asked Wu Xie, "Why are you called Zhang Qiling and Poor Oil Ping!"

Wu Xie thought for a while and said: "When I met him, he was either in a daze or sleeping, and he rarely talked, so I called him Poker Bottle."

I laughed out loud and said, "You know what? I think the same way. I asked him if he knew what a stuffy oil bottle is. He almost killed me." The scene during the meal was described again.

They both laughed after hearing this, and the trembling hanging ladder shook even more. I smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, looking at Wu Xie, there was a kind of tacit understanding that a hero sees and agrees.

The fat brother pointed at me with a smile and said, "Zi Lin, my little brother probably thought you were his opponent. After being unfavorable to Wu Xie, I got information about my little brother from him. Because of this nickname, there are only three of us." I just know it! Hahaha..." After finally stopping laughing, he said again: "Damn it, you two are really brothers and sisters, right? You even have the same nickname for the younger brother. I don't care. You are so naive. Quickly recognize my sister, I will give her the title of cute, so that you can make a pair of innocent and cute, do you think it is okay?"

Wu Xie frowned lightly, then glanced at me again, with a little more doting in his eyes, smiled and shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I will be your brother, and I will become a younger brother and uncle in the future. Just think about it." I get goosebumps."

I looked at Wu Xie seriously. Although his words were a joke, I really couldn't tell whether he was affectionate or affectionate towards my brother. Now that the fat brother is here, I can't ask directly, so I just kept silent. .

Suddenly there was a crisp whistle from below, it seemed that Poker Bottle was signaling us to go down quickly, and I had enough rest, so I didn't dare to delay any longer, and began to concentrate on climbing down. There are probably only the three of us in the world who can chat so happily on the hanging ladder.

After a while, we could vaguely see the platform, because the flashlight of the Poker bottle was dimly lit, we quickened our pace, even ignoring the fine beads of sweat on our foreheads, when we stepped on the solid platform When we got to the platform, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and our hearts dropped. We saw that the platform was supported by a huge bronze pillar rising from the bottom of the cave. The bronze pillar was big and thick. If it is not hollow, where to find so many bronze materials in that era is probably an eternal mystery.Poker-face didn't seem to be interested in this pillar, but just squatted in front of the big coffin and studied it seriously.

We took a closer look, and found that the coffin was astonishingly large. The outer coffin was made of polished jade, and the material should also be jadeite. The lid was inlaid with countless blood-red gemstones to hide the original emerald green of the jadeite. The whole coffin looks blood red with green light in it, which is extremely scary and strange.
