[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Son, let the people gather together.

Gu Ran glanced at everyone, except for Zhang Qiling who seemed to be in good condition, everyone else was pale, Chen Pi's eyes were squinted, and he almost entered a semi-comatose state.Obviously, it is impossible to continue walking aimlessly on the snow-capped mountains.

Gu Ran sighed, and carried Shunzi on his back: "I still have a way to find the hot spring, come with me, dumb Zhang, come and help me."

The fat man yelled: "You can find the hot spring, you didn't tell me earlier!"

"Shunzi is going in the right direction, the hot spring is not far away." Gu Ran didn't want to explain further, tied Zhang Qiling's rope with him, and then whispered to Zhang Qiling, "I need bloodletting, in this environment I may not be able to hold on for too long, in case I can't hold on, I need your help."

Zhang Qiling nodded, and followed Gu Ran's left rear. In this polar environment, even he and Gu Ran couldn't maintain a good physical condition, and bloodletting was obviously extremely dangerous.

Gu Ran cut his finger with a small knife, pinched the blood and counted, then walked in one direction, walked tens of meters, stopped and scratched again, and continued to count.

The weather was really too cold, and the blood coagulated quickly, so Gu Ran could only keep cutting his fingers.

This method was accidentally discovered by Qi Tiezui back then. After all, Qi Tiezui is a fortune teller and knows some things about gods and ghosts. After discovering it at the time, he taught it to Gu Ran, but he also told him not to use it too much. If you use too many methods, you will be punished by God.

In a severe cold climate, the damage caused by blood loss was several times that of normal conditions. Gu Ran only bled a few times, and he obviously felt that his spirit was a little bit dazed.He stood on the spot, ruthlessly cut another knife, counting that the distance to the hot spring was only a dozen meters away, his eyes lit up, and he cheered up and continued to move forward.

His mental state was really bad, when he stepped on the ground, the snow under his feet collapsed, and there was a straight on his back, which fell so fast that Zhang Qiling had no time to stop it.

Gu Ran got up from the snow, sniffed his nose, and greeted up: "Everyone come down, the hot spring is here."

Zhang Qiling repeated Gu Ran's words to the people behind him, and everyone was motivated to fight, and soon reached the mouth of the pit where Gu Ran fell, and climbed down one by one.

Ye Cheng suddenly yelled: "Wait, wait! Copy guy! What is that dish in the snow?"

Gu Ran frowned. Although he was not in good condition, he did not lose his perception of the outside world. If there were other living things inside, it was impossible for him not to hear the sound of breathing.Gu Ran looked in the direction Ye Cheng pointed, couldn't help laughing, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's a stone."

The fat man threw off the snow on his body, and shouted, "Gu Xiaoran, where is the hot spring you mentioned? I didn't see anything here."

Gu Ran walked up to the lifelike carved stone, sniffed it and said, "Just behind this stone, I can smell sulfur."

The fat man also imitated moving his nose, "No, I didn't smell anything."

Gu Ran ignored him, turned to Chen Pi and said, "Come and see what is engraved on it, it should be related to Yunding Tiangong."

When Chen Pi saw the stone carving, his expression changed, and he beckoned to Monk Hua to help him over.

Monk Hua said: "This is a hundred-legged dragon. All early dragon sculptures in the Eastern Xia Kingdom looked like this. But where did this stone come from?"

This kind of thing was beyond the scope of Gu Ran's knowledge, he kept his mouth shut, anyway, no matter where this thing came from, he would have to move it away and go into the hot spring behind it.

Wu Xie went over to look at the marks where the stone was broken and said: "It may have collapsed from above. You can see that the shape of this dragon is asymmetrical. This is a pair of dragons playing with pearls. There should be another side of such a stone carving, usually carved on the On the stone gate, one on each side."

Chen Pi Asi coughed, and said weakly: "Fart, half-knowledge, talk nonsense, what kind of stone gate, this is the sealing stone in the tomb passage."

He pointed to the dragon's mouth, Monk Hua went over, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a black iron chain the size of a wrist.

Chen Pi Asi said: "This is the horse chain used to pull the sealing stone when sealing the tomb. This side is facing inward." He looked up and saw that the sealing stone might have collapsed from above.

Gu Ran glanced at Chen Pi Ah Si, "Have you figured out this thing? It's useless, right? Then open it, and the hot spring is behind it."

Chen Pi Asi snorted coldly and said: "I don't have knowledge, I don't even know Feng Shi."

Gu Ran spread his hands: "Why do you know so much, I'm not like you."

The sealing stone was too big to be removed even with the strength of a few people. Wu Xie had an idea and checked the relatively large stones under the sealing stone. With a hammer, the stone immediately cracked a crack. Due to the change of supporting force, the sealing stone began to slide along the stone slope, exposing a rock crack.

Gu Ran drilled in with a flashlight. There was a crack in the rock. After entering, the crack went down steeply, leading to the inside of the mountain.The smell of sulfur is very strong here, Gu Ran touched the stone, it was thirty degrees Celsius.

"Come in." Gu Ran greeted, and then found a comfortable place to sit down, and his body was considered to be relaxed.

Wu Xie found a line of characters engraved on the stone, and asked Monk Hua to come and read it. He couldn't read it quickly, so he copied all the words on the wall.

After copying the words, Gu Ran led the way and walked along the cracks in the mountain.It's sloping down here, there are no steps, and you almost have to climb down.Gu Ran's condition was very bad, he handed Shunzi to Zhang Qiling, and climbed down with his hands and feet.

After going down more than 100 meters, Gu Ran stopped, "The front is very narrow, I need to climb in, I don't know what's going on inside, it's best not to go in."

Chen Pi Asi looked at the entrance of the cave, and he could no longer climb in. Gu Ran simply said, "I'll leave Shunzi to you, and I'll wait here. Anyway, it's warm enough here. Mute Zhang followed me in to have a look." .”

Zhang Qiling nodded, followed Gu and crawled into the crevice of the rock.

The inside is getting narrower and the temperature is gradually rising. This kind of environment and temperature oppresses the lungs, making it very uncomfortable.

Gu Ran stopped, pinched his fingers to calculate, he could no longer bleed, he could only roughly calculate that there was no danger inside, and continued to climb forward.

After climbing for about 10 minutes, the front suddenly became open, surrounded by many colorful murals, many gravels on the ground, and some springs among the gravels, which is a good place to rest.

There is still a stone crevice inside that can continue to climb in, but since the hot spring has been found, there is not much need to continue forward.

Gu Ran said to Zhang Qiling: "I just settled here, you go and inform them, I can't hold on anymore."

Zhang Qiling nodded, took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and handed it to Gu Ran, Gu Ran laughed when he saw it, it was the medicine he gave dumb Zhang when he was bleeding, and now he returned it.

Gu Ran ate one and found a place to sit down.The taste of bloodletting was not pleasant, and his spirit was inexplicably attracted in the snow-capped mountains, making him very uncomfortable. He took off his thick coat and leaned against the warm stones to rest his eyes and close his eyes.

The medicine he made himself was very effective. As soon as Wu Xie and his party came in, the color on his face returned, and his mental state improved a lot, and he no longer felt powerless after losing blood.

Wu Xie and the others were looking at the murals. Gu Ran had no interest in these things, so he just stayed where he was. Even the fat man found out that there were two layers of murals, so he just opened his eyes for a glance, and then continued to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Wu Xie and Fatty cleared out the entire mural together. Monk Hua said: "This should be the scene of the war between the Eastern Xia Wannu King and the Mongols. Look at this person, he should be the Wannu King himself. This is probably the It is said that there was a war in the Middle East where Xia destroyed the country. This is the army of King Wannu, and this is the army of the Mongols. You see, the number of people is far greater than that of Dong Xia. This is an overwhelming war."

The fat man asked: "Why do the faces of these people in the Dongxia army look like women?"

Wu Xie also echoed: "Don't Dongxia people rely on women to fight? It would be unreasonable not to subjugate the country."

Monk Hua said: "No, this is a characteristic of Dongxia murals. You can see that all the people are very handsome. I also found some strange phenomena in the allusions. It seems that all people who have dealt with Dongxia people People from all over the world say that in Dongxia Kingdom, you can’t see old people. Everyone is very young. The North Koreans say that people from Dongxia maintain their youthful appearance even when they die.”

Hearing this, Gu Ran raised his head and glanced at the mural. He stared at the Dongxia people who looked like women on the mural, and frowned tightly. What do these Dongxia people have to do with Changsheng and Wang Zanghai?

Wu Xie raised another doubt. According to historical records, the Eastern Xia regime existed for less than a hundred years, and the era did not match Wang Zanghai's life time. What's more, where did the Eastern Xia people have such a large amount of material and financial resources to build the Yunding Tiangong?

Monk Hua took out a snake eyebrow copper fish, and explained to Wu Xie what was hidden on the snake eyebrow copper fish: The Eastern Xia regime has always existed, but it retreated to the depths of the mountains and survived.Mongols and Goryeo have been trying to destroy this small country, but for a strange reason, no one has succeeded.

"What reason?" Pan Zi asked, "Monk, can you speak more quickly?"

Monk Hua shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, the information on the fish is incomplete, there must be other things that recorded other parts, but based on the words in my hand, I dare say that the Dongxia Kingdom It can survive, there may be very bizarre things happened, and there will be no content after that. We have been looking for it, but unfortunately our old man has been looking for it for many years, but we have not found anything else
