[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

After predicting the degree of difficulty in the future, Wu Xie always needs to grow.

Banai copy 5

Early the next morning, instead of seeing the legendary guide who led them into Yangjiao Mountain, they saw Agui and Yuncai instead.

Agui said that the hunter who was supposed to go into the mountain didn't know what went wrong. Several teams didn't come back, and the others had never been there. The only thing he could find was his daughter Yuncai.Yuncai had been there several times with his grandfather before, and he knew how to get there. With him and the dog, it was not a big problem. Otherwise, they could not speak the same language, and they might be in trouble.

Wu Xie's asking price was too high, even an honest person like Agui was moved. Fatty objected at first, and the reasons he gave were also high-sounding. Yun Cai, a little girl who entered the mountain, suffered some injuries, which made people feel distressed. .But when the cloud came out of the house, the fat man's eyes were straightened, and he was dressed in a hunting suit of the Yao nationality, with a heroic and playful appearance.

Yun Cai asked: "Bosses, don't you look down on people?"

"No, no, not at all." The fat man immediately said, "Big sister, don't get me wrong, your fat brother, I am mainly afraid of your hard work, but in our hearts, you are definitely the best candidate."

Fatty fell in love with Yuncai and turned against him. Wu Xie could only scold him in a low voice, and agreed to let Yuncai and Agui lead the way.

Along the way, the fat man was fascinated by the clouds, and he circled around the clouds. Fortunately, he still had a catch in his mouth. When the clouds asked them what they were here for, the fat man didn't say anything.

After walking in the mountains for two days, I arrived at the lake of Yangjiao Mountain.Due to the continuous rainstorm, the lake is larger than expected, and the scenery in the mountains is very beautiful.Wu Xie and the others threw off their bags and went into the lake to wash their faces. The water was cold and connected to an underground river.

After Wu Xie washed his face and raised his head, he saw that Gu Ran was frowning and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He followed his gaze and looked at the reflections of the surrounding mountains and lakes, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling - this place gave him a sense of familiarity for a moment, There is also something wrong.He has seen scenes that seem familiar, but still a little different.

Similarly, Zhang Qiling's complexion also changed, only the fat man was swimming in the water heartlessly.

Wu Xie remembered where he had seen such terrain.

When playing in the water by the village stream, the mountain scenery there is very similar to here, and the lines and trends of the mountains are exactly the same.This kind of terrain is called "Yulin'ao" in Fengshui. The mountain is layered like fish scales. Because there are dirt and dirt under the fish scales, this kind of Fengshui is not suitable for burying people, but it is completely different if there is a spring lake in the middle. , called "fish comes from water", if there are young people who died early, they should be buried here.

Set up camp, and after lunch, began to divide the area to search. There were many big rocks near the shore, and there were no debris. The four people moved the rocks with bare hands.It was impossible for Panma to go too deep into the lake back then. The body must have been thrown near the shore, and the water level had dropped a lot. The bones were either by the lake or on the shore.

I turned to the sunset, but there was still no result. I couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. Agui ate a pheasant to fill his stomach, and drank some rice wine. Yunyun danced for them after eating, and the fat man’s jaw dropped. After learning it, I must learn it, but after learning it, I imitate it, like a great dancer.

Wu Xie laughed so hard that he turned his back on his back. When he was tired from laughing, he suddenly realized that there was something missing around him. Normally at this time, Gu Ran had already made jokes with the fat man by the side, but he didn't say much all night. In a far place, I don't know what I'm playing with.

Wu Xie took a closer look, only to realize that Gu Ran had picked up some small stones and arranged them in a shape that he didn't know how to describe. He squatted there and moved the stones while pinching his fingers.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Ran threw down the stone in his hand and sat on the ground, sighing: "I always feel that something is wrong, everything is missing a link. Why did Chen Wenjin come here? She is a survivor of Panma's men, but she went to Xisha, Tamutuo , obviously if our previous guesses are correct, Chen Wenjin is taking the fake Chen Wenjin's identity and continuing to act. Then why did she do this?"

"Also, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, what role did they play in this? Obviously, they should not be the same survivors as Chen Wenjin, and it is also possible that Banai's archaeological team did not have them, so they are What's your position?" Gu Ran said again, "There's also the dumb Zhang, who also participated in this matter, but based on what I know about him, he should not be a survivor of the archaeological team, otherwise Pan Ma should have seen him a long time ago. .”

Gu Ran placed three rows of stones in total, "These three waves of people are pointing to the same thing. What is there, or what is the reason for the archaeological team to come here? This may be just a part of it rather than the end. But I always feel that the secret underneath should be very important."

Gu Ran kicked the rocks in disorder: "Also, I think there is something wrong here, I can't explain it clearly, and it makes me feel uncomfortable in terms of Feng Shui."

Ah Gui saw that the two of them were squatting here as if they were facing the wall thinking about their past, so he came over and greeted them to drink rice wine.

Fatty was telling jokes to Yun Cai, while Gu Ran and Wu Xie were sitting on the side listening and laughing, taking a rare moment to relax.After a while, Zhang Qiling didn't know if he thought they were noisy, so he walked alone to the place where the bonfire could barely reach. After a while, the clouds also chased him, singing softly to Zhang Qiling.

Gu Ran noticed the two people under the moonlight, tilted his head and smiled at Wu Xie: "Look at the dumb Zhang, tsk, this girl Yun Cai can really stand him."

Accompanied by Yun Cai's ethereal singing, Wu Xie and Gu Ran slowly entered a trance state. They were in a daze for an unknown period of time. When Gu Ran heard something, he woke up immediately and walked to the lake. At this time, Yun Cai's singing also stopped. Zhang Qiling also looked at the lake with a serious face.

Seeing the bosses looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Ah Gui said, "It's okay, it seems like a wild beast is licking the water."

"What kind of beast is it? It's quite big." The fat man asked softly.

Agui took a shotgun and groped into the darkness, walked to the side of Zhang Qiling and Gu Ran, and could vaguely see the situation on the lake, the sounds came from all directions, very rhythmic, not like animals can make .

"It's not a beast, what's the sound?" the fat man said to himself.

Zhang Qiling replied: "The sound of the tide."

The surrounding water level is constantly dropping, and there is a siphon effect in the lake. There may be a larger lake nearby that is connected to this pool of water, causing the water level to drop.

With this explanation, Wu Xie immediately figured out why no corpses could be found, and the shore of the lake was also very clean. The siphon effect sucked the contents of the lake deeper, so their search on the shore would not yield any results.

After thinking about all this, he explained to Gu Ran and the others, and then asked, "How long can you hold your breath?"

Wu Xie and the others are not bad at water, Agui is not good at diving, and Yun Yun is good at water, but they can't let a little girl wear a vest to help them dive.As for how long you can hold your breath, I really can't say for sure. I can only say that with the experience of the underwater tomb, if you control the rhythm, you can still dive for more than a minute.

After discussing some details in detail, the four of them were very excited and finally made a discovery.I got up very early the next morning, made some temporary equipment in the morning, such as diving stones, ropes, floating rafts, etc., and prepared to go into the water in the afternoon when the sun was shining and the water temperature was high.

The four people put the diving stones on the raft, stepped on the water to the center of the lake, and tied small stones with nylon ropes and threw them down to measure the water depth. It was more than 30 meters, which was about the same as estimated.The three of them discussed it, and the fat man was too big to dive. Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Gu Ran would go into the water first, and he would not be needed if the performance was done once.

Gu Ran took a deep breath, pulled the stones to dive, the underwater light was very poor, and along with the drop of sight came the increase of water pressure, which made Gu Ran very uncomfortable.He resisted the urge to exhale the air in his lungs and continued to sink. Not long after, there was a vibration from the other end of the rope, and the stone fell to the ground.

He could probably feel that his place was at the lower end of a slope. Looking around with a flashlight, he found that in front of him was an ancient wooden building with stone steps and fences. It was an ancient underwater village. .

He also saw some equipment, rifles, purses, tents, boxes and the like, stuck in fences and stones.

Gu Ran hesitated for a moment, he could dive for another minute or so, and then simply swam into the stockade.That stone was too much of a hindrance, so Gu Ran simply cut the grass rope with a dagger.

The whole Yao village was very normal, so normal that Gu Ran even felt a little weird. He swam into the nearest village. Although he had soaked in the water for a long time, there were still traces of someone living in it.And there are branches and trunks outside the house, which is like a village.

The discovery of the first dive was shocking enough, so Gu Ran didn't go any deeper. After swimming out of the stockade, he slowly went upstream, and the breath he held was just enough to support him to float up at a not too fast speed.

Gu Ran poked his head out of the water, some distance away from the diving raft, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling had already come out, and they didn't know what they were doing with Fatty. It seemed that he had been diving for the longest time.

"What did you find?"

Zhang Qiling pointed to the old cowhide bag on the raft and said: "Where I dived, there is a fence, and a lot of bags and sundries that sank to the bottom of the lake got stuck on the fence, scattered a large piece, I saw There were rifles, purses, and tents, and I only fished one up."

Gu Ran nodded: "I saw it too." He turned his head and saw blood on Wu Xie's face, and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you, did you hit a rock under the water?"

"Floating too fast." Wu Xie said awkwardly
