Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Sudden!

After a burst of sound, the stone wall that had previously blocked the way slowly rose.

Seeing this, Black Glasses threw away the iron ring, stood up and waved his hands. Xie Yuchen also walked to his side: "Is this the core of the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West?"

"You'll know if you go in and take a look." Black Glasses used the hand that pulled the iron ring to take back his flashlight from Xie Yuchen, and rubbed it twice in his hand.

Jie Yuchen's face darkened for a moment, and he stared at the black glasses angrily, but the black glasses didn't seem to notice it and walked straight towards the opened stone door.

After the stone door slowly rose, they saw a huge stone chamber space. There was a row of stairs at the other end of the space, extending upward with no end in sight.

"This is such a generous act by the Queen Mother. In order to build this palace, the entire mountain was hollowed out." Black Glasses looked at the stairs that stretched to the end and said with emotion.

As he said that, Black Glasses walked to the lamp stands placed in the center of the stone room: "It seems that they were in a low-temperature space and the lamp oil was not evaporated."

Black Glasses directly took out the lighter and lit the oil lamp. After this oil lamp was lit, the other oil lamps also lit up one by one, as if they had encountered a mechanism.

Even the oil lamps on the stairs were lit one by one in order.

"The lampstand triggers the mechanism when it is heated. Queen Mother Xi has a good idea!" Black Glasses exclaimed that this design is really good.

All the lights were lit, and the whole space was filled with hazy light. Only then did Jie Yuchen see a kettle placed on the ground not far from them. He walked over and picked up the kettle, with a note underneath.

"handwashing?"

After hearing what Jie Yuchen said, Black Glasses came over, squatted down and looked at the two words on the note - wash your hands.

"That old guy Wu Sansheng is really good at thinking about others and making perfect preparations. Now he doesn't even leave a mark, but this is left on Man's hand." Jie Yuchen was speechless.

"Third Master is not joking, because he! The way to turn on the machine is the same as ours." Black Glasses said and stretched out his hands to wave Jie Yuchen in front of him.

"It's just that he thinks more carefully than young people." Black Glasses said, reaching out to take the kettle from Xie Yuchen's hand.

But he was avoided by Xie Yuchen: "I'll..."

Black Glasses didn't care about him and stood up: "Don't be too particular when you go out."

Jie Yuchen ignored him and started washing his hands directly. Who let the black-glassed hand rub against him twice just now?

The black glasses ignored Xie Yuchen, who loved to be clean, and looked around the ground of the stone room. They saw many colorful murals on the wall where they just entered.

"If you look at this painting, it seems to be the scene when someone comes to meet the Queen Mother." Black Glasses heard the voice of Jie Yuchen walking over.

"Interesting! Look, this guest and the Queen Mother of the West are the same size, and everyone else is scaled down." Black Glasses watched with interest, commenting while watching.

"The larger the ratio, the higher the status. It seems that this person is quite respectable with the Queen Mother of the West." Xie Yuchen also expressed his opinion.

At this time, Black Glasses took a few steps forward and walked to the corner.

"Wearing a crown and gorgeous clothes, they should be the costumes of the royal family and nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty." The black glasses stared at the male person on the mural.

"King Zhou Mu!" Jie Yuchen spat out three words in confusion. When he mentioned this name, Xie Yuchen thought of the myths and legends about the Queen Mother of the West and King Zhou Mu.

"Regardless of the myths and historical materials left behind, the only person who can be related to the Queen Mother of the West is King Mu of Zhou."

"My biggest feeling along the way is that the Queen Mother of the West is definitely a ruthless character and has a strong sense of territoriality. Look at her palace, if there is no one to lead the way, it will be difficult to get here alive."

"Obviously, I want to tell the guests here that if they don't obey, they will die without a burial place."

"Look at those lamps. The style and shape of those lamps belong to the Western Zhou Dynasty. This also shows that he was not only polite to King Mu of Zhou, but also accepted the culture he brought." Black Glasses talked eloquently.

"Perhaps King Zhou Mu brought him some benefits!" Xie Yuchen guessed.

"Then let's see if we can find out." Black Glasses suggested as he looked at the stairs that stretched upwards with no end in sight.

So, the two began to climb the stairs...

...

Wu Xie's side...

After waiting for a long time for Wu Sansheng's response, Aning stood up and picked up his bag: "We can't wait any longer. The weather in the rain forest is changeable. We must first find a safe place to camp."

Aning said and took the lead to start walking forward, regardless of whether others followed.

"Let's go!" Others agreed with Aning's statement.

After all, it had been almost half an hour since they discovered the signal smoke, and there was still no movement in Wu San Province. It was probably because it was inconvenient, something happened, or maybe they didn't see their signal smoke.

Anyway, if the other party doesn't respond, there are other factors, and they can't waste time waiting here.

"Let's go! Meet the Third Master's team." The fat man picked up his bag and shouted.

"I haven't recovered yet! This woman is a ruthless character." Pan Zi looked at Aning's back and muttered in a low voice.

So a few people started to hurry, walking on these uneven and wet mountain roads...

When Wu Xie and his companions were walking on a narrow mountain road, they suddenly heard some noises in the bushes ahead. They all stopped and became alert.

"There are bound to be snakes in this environment, so the saying 'startling the snakes by beating the grass' is still useful in the allusions. Be careful, everyone." Pan Zi explained.

"Wu Xie, do you remember a sentence in Chen Wenjin's notes?" Aning asked.

"There are many snakes in the swamp, so they are not afraid of people."

After waiting for a while, there was no other movement, and they continued to move forward, but the road disappeared as they walked. They were all blocked by those weeds and vines, and they could only walk and swing the knife in their hands to clear the way.

The journey was difficult, and they had to cut off the vines and weeds that blocked the way, which consumed more physical strength. Not long after, they were so tired that they found a place to rest again.

Pan Zi also took out some dry food from his bag and distributed it to everyone...
