Tomb Raider Live: Gain Qilin blood at the beginning

It's a pity that under the erosion of the years, the painted paintings on it are already incomplete.

Moreover, the contents above the murals all describe the history of the ancient country of Loulan.

For example, Loulan’s exchanges with other countries in the Western Regions, the tribute paid by the dependent countries, and even Loulan dancers who play music and dance.

However, at this moment, Cui Xiuxiu suddenly came to a mural, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "This is impossible..."

Chapter 141 Queen Loulan, the heart of a poisonous scorpion!

"What did you see?"

Lin You came to Cui Xiuxiu's side, raised his eyes, and looked at the mural in front of him.

However, there is nothing special about the mural in front of him.

According to the above records, it seems that an envoy from a small country in the Western Regions came to the ancient country of Loulan and was received by the queen of Loulan.

Although the face of Queen Loulan is shrouded in a light veil on the mural, it is still difficult to conceal her stunning beauty.

"It seems... nothing special."

The Laughing Buddha also came over, smiled lightly and commented: "However, Queen Loulan is really a great beauty."

"It's a pity that he was not born in the same era as us."

"No matter how beautiful it is, there will only be a skeleton left."

Since ancient times, the years have passed, and it is common sense in the world that a beauty is easy to grow old.

However, Cui Xiuxiu directly interrupted everyone's exclamation, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and said, "What I want you to see is not Queen Loulan, but this..."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and their eyes widened involuntarily.

Because they saw an extremely familiar figure behind Queen Loulan!

A woman with the head of a man and the body of a snake!

"Isn't this... the Concubine Snake from the ancient Dian Kingdom?"

Looking at this familiar figure, the smiling Buddha couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Even Lin You, who was always calm, showed a look of shock at this moment.

If he remembers correctly, the ancient kingdom of Loulan was founded before 176 BC, but suddenly disappeared mysteriously in 630 AD, with a total history of more than 800 years.

Although there is a certain overlap with the existence of the ancient Dian kingdom, it still cannot explain why the snake concubine of the ancient Dian kingdom appeared behind the Queen of Loulan!

Is it the same person, or the same creature?

Soon, Lin You recalled another detail.

Among the previous murals, he noticed that there was a mural that depicted Queen Loulan kneeling on the altar, praying for rain from the gods.

You know, in the past, Lop Nur can be said to have lush water and grass, and there will be no shortage of water at all.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Lop Nur gradually dried up.

So... that is to say, the time when the Queen of Loulan ruled the ancient kingdom of Loulan corresponds to the Tang Dynasty in China!

But the problem is that the ancient Dian Kingdom perished in the Han Dynasty!

There was more than one dynasty between the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

How did this Concubine Snake manage to cross several dynasties and appear behind Queen Loulan?

Could it be that she is really immortal?

The chrysalis of the dragon tomb in Kunlun Mountains is filled with the sap of the ancient longevity tree.

The ancient Dian king of the ancient Dian kingdom was bewitched by the snake concubine, and merged himself with the ancient longevity tree.

Even on the murals of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, the figure of the snake concubine appeared.

The three ancient tombs, which seem to be unconnected, are inextricably linked.

Lin You frowned, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"This Concubine Snake is weird."

The smiling Buddha on the side also said with a solemn expression.

Lin You continued to walk forward, trying to get some clues from the mural in front of him.

However, the following murals depict some fairly common scenes, and there is nothing unusual about them.

But just when they were about to reach the end of the corridor, the figure of Concubine Snake reappeared on the mural in front of them!

I saw her standing beside Queen Loulan, as if she was presiding over some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

And in the next few murals, the content of the sacrifice is recorded in detail!

In front of Queen Loulan, there were four pregnant women with big bellies.

Their hands were tightly bound behind their backs with chains, their feet were still in shackles, and their eyes were full of tears.

And several soldiers opened their mouths abruptly, and stuffed live black snakes into them!

After stuffing the black snake, the four women immediately rolled over on the ground crying with pain on their faces.

However, there was no trace of pity on Queen Loulan's face, instead she looked extremely indifferent.

Afterwards, the surrounding soldiers brought four bronze coffins and dragged the four women into them.

After closing the coffin lid, these soldiers directly sealed the coffin completely, and completely killed their possibility of survival.

After that, the four coffins were transported to Sifang Oasis and sank into the bottom of the lake.

Obviously, the ancient bronze coffin that Lin You and the others found from the bottom of the lake was one of the four coffins.

After reading these murals, Lin You let out a long breath: "This is really... the cruelest way of sacrifice that I have seen so far."

A pregnant woman is selected for sacrifice.

Forcibly stuff the live black poisonous snake into their mouths.

Out of survival instinct, the black snake would directly bite through the intestinal wall, and then directly kill the fetus in the womb.

However, after killing the fetus, the black snake will also be smothered in the woman's belly.
