Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

"By the way, what is this? Why does it feel weird? And you have such a big statue hovering here as a totem?"

"And if this thing appears here, does it mean it's close to our goal?"

"Yes and no."

After such a short rest, Chen Pi Ah Si regained his energy a little.

After seeing this blurry statue, there was an obvious change on his face.

"This is the totem hundred-legged dragon of the Eastern Xia Kingdom in the early years."

"In ancient times, every tribe or country had its own dragon totem, with different shapes..."

"This seemingly weird statue is the centipede dragon belonging to the Eastern Xia Kingdom."

"Doesn't this look like a dragon? Does a dragon have so many limbs? It feels more like a centipede..." Fatty complained.

"Forget about what this totem is and what its significance is. Find the hot spring first..."

Wu Xie had already discovered a crack on the cliff during four weeks of inspection. The crack could probably allow that person to pass through.

Standing outside the crack, you can feel bursts of heat coming from inside, as well as a faint smell of sulfur.

"Yes, yes, you go in first, if you wait any longer, it will turn into a popsicle."

So, everyone helped them to the crack and walked into the crack one by one.

The width of the crack is relatively loose for Wu Xie and the others, but it is a bit too much for Fatty.

The fat man had to inhale and retract his stomach throughout the entire process to barely pass.

The passage is about 10 meters long and moves very slowly.

Chen Pi Asi's men had to protect him and could only move forward at a snail's pace.

Panzi and Fatty were responsible for getting Shunzi in.

There were two old, weak, sick and disabled people here, which had a bit of an impact on them and slowed down their progress.

It didn't look like a long journey but it took them 10 minutes and 8 minutes.

After passing the passage, you arrived at a relatively wide cave.

As soon as possible, we found a flat place and settled the two old, weak and sick people.

There is a hot spring pool as big as the mouth of a well inside the cave, bubbling gurglingly.

It was icy and snowy outside, and it felt like summer inside the cave. They had only been in for two minutes, and they were already so hot that they had to take off their coats.

Chen Pi's Si's originally pale face was slowly recovering, and only Shunzi was still unconscious.

It feels quite contradictory to have such a hot spring in this ice and snow.

But no matter what, they are safe for the time being. As long as they have enough food, they can stay here for a few more days.

After all, no one knows how many days it will take for the heavy snowstorm outside to pass.

The cave is not very big and can be easily seen at a glance.

So everyone quickly discovered that there are two murals in the cave.

The fat man still had enough energy, so he turned around and ran to the mural.

The fat man was so jealous of the money that he actually wanted to cut out the painting.

It was a mural, and it was painted on a cliff. How could it be taken down?

Wu Xie was speechless for a while, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Does the fat man know that there is a mystery in this painting? How else could we explain his weird behavior?

"Fat man, don't tell me, you want to get this back? Do you think it's possible?" Pan Zi was not polite.

The fat man glared at Pan Zi: "Go and rest, what do you know about you? How can I do useless work, Fatty?"

Wu Xie looked at the mural in front of him. He knew that there was something interesting in the mural, but it was not too serious. He just treated it as a cartoon.

This mural is still very interesting. It doesn't record anything useful, just some scenes of goddesses flying into the sky.

The fat man kept clasping the legs of the fairies, which looked a bit obscene.

But Wu Xie didn't say anything, he just looked at the fat man's movements in a funny way, thinking that he had hit him by mistake.

"I said, Fatty, can you stop being so funny! Do you really want to pry her off?"

The others laughed.

The fat man said helplessly, "You all know what you are doing. Just watch."

It only took a few minutes for the thin layer of murals to be peeled off by the fat man.

Others were also shocked when they saw this scene. They didn't expect that there was a layer of murals on top of the mural.

In this way, the real mural was exposed by the fat man accidentally.

"Look, look! Fatty, I think that's not right. You still don't believe it." The fat man was very disgusting.

He spread his hands proudly, with the most awesome expression of "Fat Master."

"Okay, innocent, it's your turn. This is your specialty. Fatty, I really don't understand..."

These fat people are considered modest, they just can't understand the ancient characters, but they can make a rough guess no matter how hard they look at the pictures.

Only then did Wu Xie take a closer look at the real mural that was hidden.

"This is a scene of war. It should be the Eastern Xia people and the Mongols fighting. But why are the Dong Xia people here all women? Where have all their men gone?"

Chen Pi Asi said with a smile: "Fart! You are just talking nonsense, Hua Zi, tell them what is going on here and open their eyes."

Huazi smiled and said: "These are not women, they are young people. They just don't have beards. I have studied a lot of information. In the records of various tribes, in their impression, the people of Dongxia Kingdom are always young. Even if they die, they are still young.”

"What you said just now is also correct. This is indeed a war with the Mongols. Look carefully at these murals. The soldiers of Dongxia are very brave. They are fighting one against three, but there are too many Mongols. They were still shot to death."

"Then there was a massacre."

Wu Xie thought for a while and frowned, "But it's not right! Dongxia only existed for more than 70 years in history before it was destroyed, and their productivity was not enough to build such an imperial mausoleum, right? This explanation doesn't make sense!"

Hua Zi smiled mysteriously, and then looked at Chenpi A Si on the side.

Chenpi Ah Si nodded gently, and Hua Zi smiled and said, "In fact, the people of Dongxia Kingdom were not completely extinct. A large part of them hid in the mountains."

"At that time, the herbalists there saw many people in strange clothes in the mountains. Those should be the Dongxia people who hid."

"But even if they still exist, how did they call Wang Canghai to build this imperial tomb? Wang Canghai was from the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't make sense at all!"

Hua Zi smiled and said, "Don't you all know that Wang Canghai disappeared for a while? Where did that vacuum time go?"

"That doesn't prove that this place was built by Wang Canghai, right?"

Until Chenpi Ah Si took something out of his arms.

Wu Xie saw the thing clearly with his sharp eyes—the snake-browed bronze fish.

The third snake-browed bronze fish.

This is the key clue left by Wang Canghai...
