[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Wearing a helmet, he said: "When he comes back, the two corpses below will float up, there is no time, just do as I say."

Gu Ran swam to the center of the lake and dived directly.He descended at an extremely fast speed. Facing Agui, he could still orderly explain to his opponent, but with no one around him, he couldn't calm down, and was almost diving at the speed that his body could withstand.

The only thing Gu Ran can be sure of is that the fat man must have entered the ancient village, and he has long been eager to move there.So without saying a word, he swam directly in the direction of the ancient village.

After passing the fence, there are a few old trees at the entrance of the village, which have completely rotted away, but you can see some debris floating around, which should have been brought up by Agui when he pulled the helmet. Did not sink due to gravity.

Gu Ran became more certain of his guess, Fatty and Zhang Qiling both came to the stockade.

But there is also something very strange. The helmet left traces at the entrance of the village, almost indicating that the final landing point of the helmet is here. The terrain in the village is complicated. It is impossible for something as heavy as a helmet to be washed out of the village horizontally. There is only one possibility. One of them took off his helmet right here.

Did an accident happen without even entering the stockade?

This guess can't help but make Gu Ran's hair stand on end. Although his underwater vision is affected, he can still judge. At least until now, nothing has appeared.

Gu Ran simply swam directly into the stockade, the helmet can support him for a short time to dive, he needs to use the shortest time to obtain the most clues.

After passing through three or four villages, Gu Ranyou suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he had an idea to go upstream vertically until he reached the top of the village, overlooking the entire Yao village, and Gu Ran discovered the problem.

The layout of the underwater Yaozhai is exactly the same as that of the Yaozhai outside the mountain.

Probably because of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, Gu Ran is very sensitive to the road. After swimming for a while, he found that the road he swam was in the same direction as the road into Banai Yao Village.

This is a very important discovery. Although the connection between the two cannot be figured out for a while, it is at least a clue.

Gu Ran took a bird's-eye view from above, and soon discovered the strangeness other than the layout.Among the tall buildings of the Yao people, he found a Hui-style building of the Han nationality.

The Miao Yao and the Han family have lived in groups since ancient times, and ethnic minorities value their blood very much, especially in this area of ​​Guangxi. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were no conflicts among ethnic minorities. It is almost impossible for this scene to occur.

This Han-style stilt building is very hidden and surrounded by the Yao village. If Gu Ran didn't go up to look at it, he would hardly notice the strangeness of this building.This is simply a pattern deliberately designed to protect it.

Gu Ran survived from ancient times anyway, and is very familiar with the ancient system. Obviously, the system of this building did not exist in the history before the Yuan Dynasty, and it could only be from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.This is very reasonable, if the entire underwater Yaozhai had been soaked for hundreds of thousands of years, it would have been rotten, and it was impossible for him to see the Miao Han system.

But this house is very strangely built. Logically speaking, this high-rise building should be the front face, and there should be a large back house connected behind it, but the fact is that there is only such a single building, and the back seems to have been cut off. .

People in the Ming and Qing Dynasties paid great attention to the system, which was very rigid, and it was almost impossible for this kind of problem to occur.

But precisely, all the impossible phenomena appeared in front of Gu Ran.

Gu Ran dived immediately and swam into the Han village.

There is a couplet hanging on the doorpost, with a layer of wooden flowers attached to it. Gu Ran scraped off the attachment with something, and saw these two couplets: I have Le Yanran to play high, and I still think of Qufu to chant poems.

It seems that the owner of this building is a soldier, and he has a bit of elegant charm.

The damage inside was very serious. Gu Ran cautiously swam in. There were not many valuable things that could be provided to him. A pair of plaques could still vaguely read the text, which read: Fan Tianzibao, which is not human-like. , Gu Ran didn't understand it at all, but the signature surprised him: Zhang's landlord.

This is the building of the Zhang family.

All the things that Gu Ran thought were unusual had been explained, but there were few normal things that had anything to do with the Zhang family.

Gu Ran thought it was just a special tomb, but he never expected that it was dug into someone's ancestral house.

The air provided to Gu Ran in the helmet was limited, so he swam back immediately without thinking. Since it was the building of the Zhang family, he could always find more clues.

In the back hall, Gu Ran saw at a glance that there was a strange figure behind the screen!

He will never remember it wrongly. He has seen this thing in the photo Wu Xie gave him. That photo was definitely taken on the ground. In this case, the time when the ancient village sank should be after the photo was taken. Why? It must be something after the Republic of China.

This is a rather shocking discovery. The ancient village was submerged in water less than 100 years ago. It is impossible for the village to be ignorant of such a big movement.

The Zhang family really has some extraordinary abilities.

Gu Ran swam directly behind the screen. It has been submerged in water for so many years, even if he was alive, he would have died a long time ago. There is nothing to be afraid of.

The human-shaped thing behind the screen had a thick layer of white attachment on it. Gu Ran scraped off a piece with a dagger, only to find that the inside was made of iron, but it was already rusted to a bad shape. Delicate patterns.

Gu Ran immediately thought of the box of iron bars brought out at Zhang Qiling's house.

It turned out that those things were all parts of this iron figurine.

Gu Ran had a vague sense of the humanoid iron figurines. He had heard of similar things somewhere before, but his memory was shallow, so he really couldn't recall them.

Behind the screen is the back door of the building. According to the structure seen from the outside, there should be nothing left after leaving the back door. The entire back house was cut off with a single knife, but Gu Ran felt that the Zhang family’s residence would never be so simple, so he Pulling open the back door, one finds a corridor sloping down.

It's not that there is no back house, but that the back house has been repaired underground.

Gu Ran went straight down the steps, slowing down his breathing rhythm. He had a hunch that there would be more discoveries underground, and he needed to discover more things during this dive.

After all, there are precedents of Zhang Qiling and Fatty, Gu Ran can't guarantee that he can go up smoothly, and he will be a fool if he dies.

The place below is not the old house in Gu Ran's imagination, but a basement. The area is not large, but the space is very cramped. There are many iron figurines densely packed inside, roughly looking at five or six hundred.These iron figurines have one thing in common, they don't have a right hand, but this one looks man-made.

Obviously, all the unusual features of Zhangjialou are to cover up the basement, or these iron figurines.

Why did the ancestors of the Zhang family spend so much effort to hide these things?

Gu Ran took a closer look, and suddenly felt blessed, thinking of a long and distant legend.

That happened when he was traveling. At that time, he met the twelve-handed woman who was buried in the tomb under the sea. The woman thought that he was seeking immortality, so she told him some legends about gods and ghosts that she had heard before. .

One of them, the woman said that there is a barbarian in the southwest. According to their legend, there is an ancestor god who was born in Yuli. He has a strange shape and is said to be able to swallow people. The only way is to seal the evil god in iron, and there will be no danger.

At that time, the woman told him too many myths and legends, and this was just a small one of them, and he had long since forgotten about it. He never thought that he could see it now.

Gu Ran also remembered that the evil god that the women talked about was probably called Miluotuo.

According to this line of thinking, Zhangjialou was built here to defend against Mi Luotuo.

Mi Luotuo was born in a jade vein, and what a woman said about being able to eat people is probably corrosive. She can break open the jade vein and drag people in, and maybe seal people in the jade vein.Then according to this line of thinking, there is Miluotuo in this place, and Zhang Qiling and Fatty are probably trapped there.

In fact, in Gu Ran's conception, there are too few things that can do anything to Zhang Qiling, so he can only think in the direction of these ghosts and monsters.

That being the case, the next step is to find Miluotuo.

The basement is connected to a well, and the bottom is extremely deep, and the light of the flashlight can't illuminate it clearly.

To go down or not to go down, that is the question.

It has been more than 5 minutes since the dive. The oxygen in the helmet is quite thin, and it can last for a short time. In case the bottom is too deep or there is something, he will not be able to deal with it.

But Gu Ran just had an intuition that if he went down, he would be able to answer his doubts.

Reckless, maybe Zhang Qiling and Fatty are underneath.

Gu Ran plunged down.

The rapid dive with his head down brought him considerable discomfort, a nausea flooded his throat, Gu Ran resisted the nausea and continued to descend.

The sound of the water flow became louder and louder, and Gu Ran could feel the strong fluctuation of the water flow. From this point of view, this place should be close to the center of the siphon, and only here would there be such a large water wave.

This is an excellent phenomenon. Agui has never heard of a large lake nearby, so it can only mean that the connection with Yangjiao Mountain Lake is an underground river, and the underground space is the most suitable place for things like Miluotuo to hide. That's right.

The current was quite turbulent, and Gu Ran was dragged around by the current. Fortunately, he had a helmet to protect him.

I don't know how long it has passed, anyway, judging from Gu Ran's feeling, the time is definitely not short, because he has already felt a strong
